SGANEEDS REAL REFORM The S.G.A. Exec. Board proposal for S.G.A. reform is a step in the right diredion. But it is only one step on a long journey to S.G.A. ctAtJpeteRCe. Sweeping reform, more meaningful than pro- posed, is needed to create an effective and purposeful student government. The need to create a senator was "discovered" by the S.G.A. Review Committee four years ago. That committee was composed ofS.G.A. and non-S.G.A •.membets, with the non-politicos forming a majouy. And it was that majority which identified S.G.A.'s pro- blems with its represeQlalion system. The committee concluded that having legislators elected in each dorm Willi undemocratic, since, for example, a representative of Unity (with four residents) had as much weight s the repte'sentative of Jane Addams (with over 100 residents.)
