Students come last During Orientation Weekboth the Voice and WCWS ran into adminis trative red-tap- e that clearly. signified that, while the administration was looking to make a few bucks off orientation, they were not willing to use it assist its own student organizations. WCWS and the Voice have unique positions on campus, as they are two student organizations that have a large number of activities to do before the day classes start. ! During the week, both the Voice and WCWS asked the administration for permission to have a table at first-ye-ar check-i- n to attempt to sell subscriptions to first-year parents and to inform first-years about the Radio Workshop, respectively. Both requests were denied, with the explanation that only academic activities were allowed space at the orientation activities. The Voice was told that it could not hold meetings during the week, and one administrator even questioned the validity of Voice staff members returning early. While the administration had do problem denying the Voice and WCWS space at first-year check-i- n when mere was space available,' they had no problem having an entire room of banks who were looking to make money off the first-year class. The Voice does not like sneaking around the administration to prepare what we feel is a public service and a credit to the campy s. We only want to do our job to the best of our abilities, which is hard enough without the administration attempting to tie our hands: We hope the administration reviews this policy, 'and decides mat the interests of its student-ru- n service organizations are as strong as its financial and commercial dealings.
