...streets are virtually empty save for a few groups of people probably heading home from parties. By now, the puddles have become minilakes that are still not easily seen in the shadows. Everyone's shoes are soaked through. A neon bank sign flashes "41 degrees...
...state's name comes from an Aleutian word that means "great land." And no one who has ever seen Alaska's panoramic peaks, its rushing rivers and teeming wildlife would argue with that description. Alaska is great in beauty, in majesty and in sheer size. If laid atop the lower 48 states, it would stretch from Florida to California.

But HUSO members joined the group based upon their proficiency in their extracurricular activities rather than their ability to gauge campus sentiment. And members were not chosen as representatives by their groups, but rather chose to join HUSO on their own. Their insistence that they will defer to the Undergraduate Council on important matters does not help; it only shows that they will be ineffective, as well as unrepresentative...
