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.

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

When looking at the possibili

the other possibility of having a

organizations, the choice
becomes even clearer.
