Elections
Delay Justified
Editor,
I am writing to clarify some apparent confusion evident
in last week’s editorial regarding the scheduling
of the A.S.P.C. fall elections. Holding the elections
at a later date was a conscious decision made by the Senate
so as to allow first-years to become more familiar with
their potential representatives and pertinent campus issues.
These representatives will be making important decisions
throughout the course of the entire year. While the official
A.S.P.C. budget committee cannot convene until after the
fall elections, all budget requests can be granted by
the Senate at large. All students and organizations that
have filed official budget requests have been informed
of the option of presenting their request to the entire
Senate. This includes requests made to the alcohol fund
which has been and remains accessible and open. I understand
that appealing to the entire Senate for a request may
cause a slight inconvenience, but surely having a more
informed electoral body that will in turn elect more effective
and qualified representatives far outweighs the minimal
inconvenience that it may cause.
Respectfully,
Julia Stiglitz
A.S.P.C. Vice President
