But how many of us actually read what we voted for and know the changes thathavebeenmade? Many of these changes affect the student body and are important for the student body to recognize. One of the first changes made was allowing the Stu dent Activities Chairman to be an active member on the SGA board as well as on sev eral smaller conunittees. This is important for you as stu dents because all full time enrolled students at M-AC are considered members of the activities cormnittee. What this means is that every stu dent has a say in what activi ties are plarmed, and in turn, the chairman can take them to the SGA.

For mally the Affirmative Action Committee, this clarification in name is great for the stu dents who did not realize this conunittee existed. If you are employed with the school, such as M-AC work, and a problem arises, you may bringitbefore thiscommittee which will hear and field complaints.
