The boggled survey is only one of many fever symptoms currently being displayed by the student government group. Library hours extensions are forgotten, the mini-market plan is sunk, and student rights go begging, mainly because the ASB is just too bloated with self-importance to care for the people they purport to represent. But there is some hope. New elections will be coming up in April, and we feel that it's a safe guess to assume that as the student pols go searching for votes, so will come the last-minute programs designed to ensnare vital support. The air will be fresh with the warbling of larks and cries of "for the students," and "in your service--the ASB." Unfortunately those cries will affect the listener much as rain on a tin roof at night- -only one of two things can happen, you can only be lulled into sleep or leaked on, depending upon die circumstance.
