Coit1 4. -Besides, the consenting adults have the opportunity to control their bodies by using one or more of a number or effective contraceptives that could prevent the child from being conceived. A little forethought could easily solve the problem. And this points out one of the most disturbing aspects about the abortion issue (aside from the killing itself). It reflects a frightening trend in modern society. People today seem unwillingly to accept responsibility SMIL iR.OfF/CER, M*r? M TbuKero frrse&m M/wr/isrim/ wi>/wr v/?

Why worry about pregnancy when you can get rid of the kid so easily? But being human makes us responsible to others for our actions, and if society ever degenerates to the point at which there is no responsibility, then we will have become something less than human. Considering the arguments presented for abortion. not to mention the acceptance of them, we appear to be already heading in that direction.

Where we were once plagued with ineffective and tedious student government in high school, we are now plagued with the same deficiencies on the college level. As a freshman, I was certainly hoping for better than what I observed Wednesday night, when what is losely called the Senate convened. The senators spent the majority of the session arguing back and forth on whether or not a motion was proper or debateable, when such parliamentary procedures should have been learned long ago. /7S/n&rrrax ?

In the midst of this confusion in the meeting, several senators were nnnctonllo 1 ? vuiuiauujr cn^agcu in uieaincai cut-downs of one another, obviously interested only in getting attention for themselves. Included with these unforgiveably amateurish pseudopolitics were verbose and ambiguous bills, about which one student official, who asked not to be identified, said, "Nobody in the Senate knows what the hell is going on. If a bill is over two pages long, nobody reads it anyway..." At one point in the proceedings, President Dave Wilsford asked for executive session, or in other words, removal of the reporter present. When pressed by President Pro-tem Charlotte Still as to why executive session was necessary, Wilsford giggled and replied, "Gossip." If our Senate convenes once a week to trade gossip and play theatrics, perhaps they should qmt using a Russell House conference room and consider a back yard fence. With ever-rising educational costs, the last thing students need is a group of expensive, ineffective and inefficient gabbers under the guise of Student Government.
