...source of dissent stems from opposition in Congress, primarily from Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Jesse Helms (R-NC), the powerful chair of the Foreign Relations Committee. If the United States does not ratify the treaty before it goes into effect, it will forfeit the opportunity to become an original party to the CWC and to determine much of its implementation.

First and foremost, the council is a student advocate; it exists for our benefit as a community of individuals. And the most important and fundamental concern of the council should be to ensure that every student is provided with the means to exist on this campus to his or her fullest potential, to exist here in dignity and pride and openness, and to be respected. Your editorial, and the dissent saying that the council...
