 The
rampant bickering, degree of anger and absurdity of some of the
debate at last Tuesdays Student Government Association meeting
were a disgrace to the body and call into question the ability
of SGA to represent the students interests.
Two issues were in question.
First, whether or not SGA should endorse a moratorium
of the death penalty, and secondly, a proclamation remembering
the victims of the Columbia space shuttle disaster.
Neither issue directly affected the student
body. In and of itself, this was not a problem. The problem was
how bitter and angry the attacks got on the moratorium issue and
the disgusting absurdity in the debate on the Columbia remembrance
proclamation.
