October 19,1990 THE UBYSSEY/9 Who do you represent? A lack of courage struck a number of council mem­ bers at last Wednesday's Student's Council meeting when they failed to take a stand on the issue of granting the Native Students Union a non-voting seat. MUfPIN SPECIAL TOD Just prior to a roll call vote (which registers each voter's position byname) three members stormed out of council chambers. Moreover, during the vote, many coun­ cil members preferred to abstain rather than being on the record as a yes or a no. By ignoring the importance ofa First Nations' voice on council as an alienated group, or the precedent it involves for increased, democratic representation for minority groups on council, these councillors disregarded one ofthe most important tenets of democracy: the right to information. If the public is left ignorant of issues and of where their representatives stand on them, how can they truly participate? How can the voter decide whether or not to re-elect a representative if they are denied such basic information as where the representative stands on an issue? How can we ask students to get involved when their representatives are so willing to hide? As public figures representing a group of constitu­ ents, councillors must expect their actions to be the subject of public record. Council is not the forum for private voting. Engineering rep Daren Sanders, who left the meet­ ing, explained he could not vote because, as a represen­ tative of his constituents, he did not feel confident he BLACKBERRV UTEC could indicate what they believed, thus absolving himself of blame. But this is exactly what the abstention vote is for. To abstain is a valid way to vote. But an abstention The Ubyssey welcomes letters on any issue.
