Martin Abraham served as SGA presi- dent for the 1976-1977 school year. Early in September, 1976, he stated the following objectives, 'Well, we're going to go about trying to unite the student body. The object is to get the student body to unite itself. They want to get united. Whether or not the student body wants to be united is debatable; and whether or not the Abraham adminis- tration has put forth the effort needed to do this is also debatable. Of course, one problem the student body might have in evaluating Abra- ham and his co- workers is the fact that the 1976-1977 year held no major is- sues for which to speak out on. But, the lack of an issue does not constitue a poor administration. But, when all is said and done, Martin Abraham needs commending for sim- ply having the guts to take the job of SGA president.
