The Montreal College Student
Government Association (a.k.a. the
SGA) is a body made up of vari
ous students elected by their peers
to represent their respective groups,
such as class and dorm representa
tives. This is the classic setup for
many schools across the nation.
What makes this government
difTcrent is that it breaks away from
the social club mold and is. in turn,
an organization of students that are
seeking how to lead this campus
into a closer fellowship with Jesus
Christ. Virtually all of the issues
that arc brought up in this entity are
tagged under the question “Is this
the Lord’s will?’' Although this is
not unique for Montreal College,
some may feel that it is a novel idea
for a government.
Starting September 25th and
continuing through October Ihth.
the placement of representatives
into the SGA was a long process.
All of the representatives ran unop
posed.
With 15 of the potential 1‘) posi
tions filled, the Montreat College
SGA is functional. With the ground
work having been laid last lall,
this semester's Student Govern
ment will be operating for the first
time under the new constitution,
which was written during the previ
ous administration. It can be found
in the back of the Student Hand
book year 2001-201)2.
This students serving this
semester arc the following. Stu
dents are strongly encouraged to
talk to their representative or any
SGA member with questions and
comments.

by a lifetime of ambition and
money; and there’s the narrator, an
old black man who literally and
liguratively keeps the clock run
ning. and has an almost mystical
connection to the core of the story
(This makes sense if you’ve seen
any other Coen brothers movies).
As always, the Coen Brothers’
exquisite attention to detail helps
to make the time period come to
life. In this case, our glimpse into
1950s America goes much deeper
than the shallow high school nostal
gia that most other filmmakers rely
on; wc sec a happy, post World War
II world where business is boom
ing, women are just beginning to
prove themselves in a workplace
dominated by men, and young
professionals are discovering the
city’s new beatnik bars. Back
ground noises, props, the sw'cll of
the music, and subtleties in the dia
logue arc the things that cue the
viewer into the finer point of the
film, and arc just as important to
the viewer’s enjoyment as the char
acters and the plot.
'flic film also plays w'ith emo
tional highs and lows, ranging from
c.xtreme exhilaration and laughter,
as the aver age Joe mailroom worker
is promoted to President, and pathos
and sadness as the weight of suc
cess almost leads him to jump from
the window. An extra bonus is the
PG rating, which assures that you
can safely watch this movie with
any family or youth group without
that awkward feeling that someone
might take offense.
There are so many other
moments that 1 can't give time or
space to in this review. As an intelli
gent, clean, and f'unny movie, (three
adjectives that can hardly ever be
applied to the same movie any
more) I can’t |•ecommend it enough.
Go rent it right now. The more you
pay attention to it, the more you’ll
laugh. Maybe you’ll cry too. But
you will definitely thank me.
