While there can be no guarantee that the proposed assembly will be able to convince the Faculty and the administration to yield to it, the government, at the very least, would be able to speak for students as a whole and thereby undercut the all-too-frequent justification for completely ignoring student opinion: "We didn't know what students wanted so we made the decision ourselves."

That is the fundamental reason for the decline...
...different nights. The only non-Silverman entry is titled Mork & Mindy, which need only be as funny as its press release: "A being from the planet Ork ... meets a young and lovely earthling named Mindy. On a mission to observe earthlings, Mork's problems are multiplied by his frequent slips into Ork language and habits...
