Senate,
I will probably keep reminding you all every 24 hours or so to go =20
check out the idea bank, even if it's simply to comment on someone =20
else's whacky solutions.
This is important to ALL of your constituencies, whether the decisions =20=
that come out of HDAG impact them directly or not. As representatives =20=
of your living groups and the student body at large, you have a =20
responsibility to get involved with this issue--especially when the =20
admin makes it so easy to put your ideas out there.
I know you're not investing four years and $200,000 at MIT because =20
you're incapable of independent thought, so please go do your jobs and =20=
tell HDAG what students want.
