Students at Green River Community College speak out

From the Editor's Desk Last week's events at Green River Commu- nity College have forced many people to take a long look at the role of student government. Student governmentis supposed to be just that, governmentby the students.Unfortunately, our friends acms the valley neglected to con- sidertheopinionofthosetheywerethere torep resent. Those who are selected by their peers are responsible to act as intermediaries from the i studentsto the administration. Most of the policies made by the student governmentor the I administration are never realized bythe general ! populace. However,it is vital that the represen- tatives know what those represented want. Boh sides must feel comfortable with their Students and administrators are interde- counterpart's contributions.

Yes, four-year schools should provide their students with the knowledge that they are safe on campus; after all it's their home. But why two-year schools? According to campus security, the campus is clear of all students by 1030p.m. on mostnights, and everyoneis supposed to be off campus by 11 p.m. Most students come to school, go to class, then leave. People do notlive on campus, so the community colleges are only part-time miniature cities. That part-time is daytime. The securityforce at HCC isbacked up by the Des Moines plice.
