One function of Student Government is to institute these changes. However, sometimes these attempts fall short due to misunderstandings and incomplete knowledge of processes. This is the case in Student Senate Bill PL(79)120.This bill would establish a general election for the office of president of Russell House University Union. Although their reasoning may seem viable to them, their arguments simply are not justified as4far as I am concerned. I feel I must clarify matters for my organization. True, the University Union is the major programming body on campus, but it is composed of ten individual budgets, not just one as the bill states. Although the president is responsible for the overall direction of the Union, he is empowered only with the full consent of the other officers or the Executive Council to override any financial or programming decisions of the nine committees.

TT TV T . a . iuu constitution can suggest programs to the committees, but they make the final decisions. The best way for students to have input into programming is to join the committees. I have never been one to bring attention to myself, but I feel the time has come. Thie bill goes totally against our constitution, and it strips away from our active members one of their major responsibilities, that of voting. We have recently voted to change our election time schedule to the end of the fall semester instead of the spring. Also, their qualifications, as written, would allow someone with no programming experience to apply for the position. This would not improve the Union. Nothing is ever perfect, and our internal elections may not be perfect. But some things are better left the way they are. We need to keep politics out of programming.
