Open Letter
To Students
Cliff Eshbach
SGA Senator, Humanities
In 1976, Capitol Campus
is thriving with an under
current of apathy and
nonchalance. 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.
