Student Government has been the voice of the students on some major issues this year. Two of these issues have been the Semester System and the East Campus cri- sis. Through the Student Council, primarily Academic Affairs, the Faculty and Administration heard the voices of the students opposition to the Semester System. This opposition met its match, however, at the All-College Representative Assembly where the Semester System was approved by a close margin. The Student Council also rose to voice student concern on the request by the Mayor to buy the East Cam- pus. At a special meeting of Council the students voiced their opposition to selling this precious land and therefore supporting the Faculty and Trustees in their efforts to save the land. Generally it was a growing year for Council in the 1980's with new legislation which raised the drinking age to 20 thus closing our Campus Pub. Stu- dent Council was, is, and will be the voice of the students.
