There are a few ways we can speak to the numbers game. I would suggest that
every senator start talking to the residents of their dorm through a
constituency event. If you can come up with numbers for the people who are
dissatisfied with the orientation changes, that would help bring numbers to
the argument. If you find that the majority of residents who show up to your
constituency event are dissatisfied with orientation changes, you should get
on to helping author this bill. You are not in the UA to /prove/ that your
residents want you to act on their behalf. You are in the UA to work for
what those represented students want, irrespective of how many care enough
to seek out your assistance.
Feel free to disagree.
