The Register, 1983-01-14

              • to be forced to listen to this sort of energetic rhetoric and • that a student would even divide the student body with this rumor ing of idealism the individual has robbed the student body of its integrity and for the many of us who know this in dividual we commonly see that he has no purpose for this wonderful student body a certain party began to tell the students to put the word out that the president is misusing fund i submitted copies of the oct 29 and nov 19 letters and my letter to crider stating why i could not come to chicago at the expense of the sga to the editor of the a&t register the rumor started because the individual could not accompany me to chicago or was the rumor started because of selfishness was the individual contacted outside sources to talk to me consulted administrators and used the student body as a mechanism to spread flagrant lies never before during my term as sga president had i traveled outside the state to represent the student body the only trip that i took alone during the fall semester was to chapel hill for a meeting with the university of north carolina association of stu dent governments i think that it is time that this student body stop electing leaders who want a free ride and everything free because one could not go to chicago with no purpose whatsoever does this give him the right to ridicule other leaders whose purpose is soley for the students chose not to go to save money this office was suppose to conduct another workship in atlanta ga dec 2-5 but i i gave up my room on cam pus so that an extra 1,600 could be used for the student body programming by the time you've read this you would have heard by now that in my letter to crider i told him that it was the con sensus of the executive board that i could not come to chicago if push could not defray the cost or pay the 100 percent expense if i had gone to chicago then you would either have read about my ex perience or heard about it but you can rest assured that it would not have been at the sole expense of the student body wear it this letter does not call names but if the shoe fits the trip totaled 500 however the wheels of in justice began to turn a cer tain party began to tell the students to put the word out that the president is misusing funds there was an apparent con flict in stories because rumor had it that the sga

final week of the fall 1982 semester many of you approached me in reference to a rumor concern ing a trip to chicago 111 i don't like to adhere to ex cessive rumors but i find it most appropriate to respond because i discovered that the rumor was started from the leadership this letter comes well over due however i find it my place to set the record straight this office would never misuse the common purpose that i have worked four years to uphold and for the individual who started the rumor i trust that he will be looked down upon for not overcoming the wreck page 6 the a&t register friday
