Letter to the Editor
8GA is working
Dear Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the entire student
body back to w'hat I am sure will be an innovative, inspiring, and
exciting year. A main concern of our administration is to establish
unity and a direct line of communication to all facets of the student
doby. It is our hope that the unity resulting from better communicat
ions will enable us to move in a positive direction. Though simply
said, this in itself is a task that will require the cooperation of every-
one.
At the present, the executive council is in the process of con
structing a viable organization. The structure of the Student Govern
ment is chaotic, out-dated, and often a hinderance and self-defeating
to the programs of the S.G.A. administrators. So much valuable time
is required to function within the bureaucratic channels just to pro
duce small efforts and programs that the officers aren’t able to articul
ate and exert their full capabilities.
Also the planning of a social calendar, homecoming, etc. have be
come so burdensome that the entire staff has to direct attention to it.
In the future we hope to remove social activities from the concern to
the Student Government into a separate entity. Until this time, we
will utilize the class representatives and volunteers to the fullest ex
tent.
Lastly, the office of president, through tradition more than by
design, has become the entire S.G.A. All the responsibility, attention,
disfavor and/or prestige is directed at one person. Consequently,
people fail to recognize the proper executive council members and their
responsibilities thus bogging the president down with matters which
can be handled elsewhere.
It is not my wish to control everything and make all decisions.
Nor do I desire to have all power and prestige centered around myself.
Fortunately, a very capable staff was selected to work with me and I
need everyone’s cooperation to allow them to expose their talents.
Realizing the deadlines and inconvenience of printing elsewhere
that slow down the News Argus, the S.G.A. will pubhsh news-letters
at intervals to keep everyone informed. The programs, events, and
policies of S.G.A. will be discussed further in its first issue. I wish
you a successful year and look forward to working with you to inform
and direct our constituency.
Ray Williams
President of S.G.A.
