Letters AflPWHATfeWeHAVe FOR-mraepiPtoMAcrs, in USG president deserves more praise OOHNNV ?.„. Editor, The News; A KNITIRK, Kevin Coughlin is by no means a perfect leader. As a member of his mcuepser Cabinet for one and a half years I can attest to his shortcomings. But although I don't always support him, I feel recent attacks on his job OFAMgRICAtf performance are overblown and contain misleading, unwarranted ar- guments. wmrsaM As president, Kevin is not solely responsible for any legislation com- ing out of the Undergraduate Student Government. While he does pwesreoesr have veto power and can (and does, from time to time) input his opin- ions, all resolutions are ultimately the product of USG senators who H0S1M6& IN debate and vote on every bill passed and who, to my knowledge, have never been vetoed by Kevin. I admit USG's accomplishments this semester have tended more toward national issues than campus ones (I feel we would be much more effective on the latter) but again, this is not the fault of one per- son. What we have done for the campus though, is laudable. Kevin and in USG deserve credit, not blame, for the faculty and course evaluation booklet (which an overwhelmingly-large percentage of students feel was a project well done, according to a recent University survey.) And Kevin was "at the forefront of the student movement following the East Merry/Frazee incidents," pushing for a citizens' review board right from the start.
