I wish that I were wrong in that appraisal, but current thoughts say that I’m correct. There are many important decisions to be made by the Student Government Asso ciation throughout the course of this year. And without input from the student body, the SGA is hurt in making the right decisions. As the SGA senator from the Humanities program, I need this very necessary input from my classmates, both in and out of the Humanities program. Each SGA senator has a mailbox that should be full of suggestions from stu dents on items for the SGA to consider. Instead they lie empty in the SGAoffice. I call on all students of Capitol to let their senator know by dropping a sugges tion in their mailbox. For those in the Human ities program, feel free to do the same for me. After all, I am your elected represen tative. Your aid is appreciated and respected more than you think by this senator. The results of the Vocational Interest Tests that you took during Fall Orientation are available for interpretation now in the Counseling Center, Wll7. If you are interested in having your results inter preted for you, stop by and make an appointment with a counselor.
