Dear Editor:

I would like to respond to the article “USG approves dress code after debate” and the attack afterward. As the senator that wrote the bill and an advocator of it, I want to clarify my comments for the students, teachers, faculty and others on this campus. With the utmost respect to USG and Dr. Sermersheim, I would like to clarify my quote.

I do not think of USG as the elite organization on campus. I feel the exact opposite. I wish and call for students to get involved and come to the meetings. I joined USG this year to help improve it, but that was just the first step. The dress code was to help people become more professional.

Other student governments around the country have had a dress code in place from the start. They are respected on campus. USG does not receive respect from the students, staff or faculty on this campus. I hope we will one day. I have yet to see a full senate or correct addition or no errors on a bill in USG.

It is sad and I am writing this to challenge our President and Vice President, along with all of the senators. After yesterday’s paper I received e-mails that were both embarrassing and disrespectful. We are all responsible for this campus and I challenge the students to make sure we are doing the correct things and properly representing you.
