Veto of Beer Bike proposals commendable
On Monday, the proposed changes to this year's Beer Bike parade were put to a vote to the college coordinators, who proceeded to veto the proposal (see story, page 1). We commend the college coordinators for reflecting the majority student opinion, illustrated in the recent Student Association poll, and for supporting the continuation of the original parade format. We thank all the Beer Bike coordinators for listening to the student voice. While on the subject of voting, we feel that in the future, it would be prudent to elect campus-wide Beer Bike coordinators rather than appointing them, in order to avoid a distinct disconnect between the campus-wide coordinators and the rest of the student body like the one which arose this year.
