Student council

If you ever served in student government, you know that there was usually one person who mastered Robert's Rules of Order and knew how to use them to promote his/her goals. Sitting in the office watching CSpan this afternoon, we saw an example of a (failed) attempt to prevent a vote through parliamentary maneuvers by the Republicans. I suppose that there have to be rules, and they can always be used to try to prevent the majority from acting, but the main thing that is being accomplished is that we will be here late this evening.

Jesse Jackson Jr is doing a great job in the Chair.
