Letters Big bad world At "issue” in this year’s elec tions is the question of whether or not the University student government should make a stand on topics of international concern. At least the Munion gang (CSRL) says that this is an issue. Never mind that students all over the world (China. South Korea, France, the Philippines, the United States, etc.) regular ly make their voices heard on vital issues of the day. Never mind that the Universi ty is a sister university of the University of El Salvador, where students are regularly kidnapped, tortured and murdered for demanding basic political rights which we take for granted in this country. Never mind University stu dent funds are currently in vested in companies which do business in the most racist society in the world: South Africa. Never mind this year's ASUO government, led by an SPA ad ministration. spent 95 percent of its time working on campus issues like improving campus safety with Saferide; improving student services with the new mediation program; working with the campus planning com mittee to improve parking; im proving campus accessibility to physically limited students at the library and the EMU. Never mind all that. CSRL, heretofore known as "the Ostrich Committee." wants stu dent government to put its head in the sand and hope the big bad world will go away. They want us to abdicate our responsibility to speak out on the vital issues of our times. Good thing the students of the University have more of a social conscience than that. Kandy MacDonald Undeclared Voting SPA This student election, students will be choosing our leaders and representatives in student government. This par ticular year there are especially clear differences between can didates. Students should make the effort to inform themselves on the various stands on issues. SPA has initiated and ex panded many programs that range from campus safety, child care and improved building ac cessibility to support of student housing programs, tax-exempt status for (ITI's and continued lobbying efforts on financial aid issues. Recognizing that as students in an institution of higher education, we must try to inspire student involvement to understand and address crucial issues that face our society and world as well. Students for a Progressive Agenda has placed a group of students on the ballot that reflects a positive diversity and broad representation ol the University community. SPA has consistently supported the right of all students to form organiza tions. it is important to point Letters Policy The Emerald will attempt to print all letters con taining fair comment on topics of interest to the University community.
