T»*. ^ A*V0°Ub£, Regional voices A 0*^ . suppose D TO Bt • On the eve of a presidential election, local issues can lose focus in the light of national concerns. Therefore, students must be reminded to put “university” first, and ensure their peers are afforded equal representation, regardless of educational location.

At the start of this semester, 12,025 undergraduate and graduate students were enrolled exclusively in Allendale, 4,735 on the Pew Campus, 172 in Traverse City, 144 in Holland and 27 in Muskegon. Though these numbers do not include students dually enrolled, Allendale’s population is easily the largest of Grand Valley State University’s five campuses. GVl / Elliot Slenk Because of this population concentration, it is easy for YOUR INSIGHTS members of the Allendale community to view their campus as H an isolated entity. But when such temporary amnesia sets in, policies and programs are apt to develop in Allendale without Should on-campus housing be locked 24/7? the consideration of four other campuses and more than 42 percent of GVSU’s student population. Evidence of the “out of sight, out of mind” adage, GVSU’s satellite campuses, Meijer-Holland, Traverse City and Muskegon, receive minimal attention and virtually no representation by the student body in Allendale or Grand Rapids. Recognizing the disadvantages which often accompany such oversight, junior John Parker recently addressed regional representation at a meeting of the Student Senate. "It should always "Yes. The university is "Yes. It would be more "No. It would be easier "Yes. I consider Grand The Student Senate, whose primary role is to advocate be locked to avoid a public place. I live on secure.

The album ’s take-away single “Rock ‘n ’ Roll Train ” clearly stands out as the favorite of many critics, but the almost bluesy riff's of Angus in “Stormy May Day,” just proves Angus never fails to amaze.
