<p>Well, unfortunately the ‘group of students with opinions like’ this are leading the student government…and it takes more than ‘a few’ to win a vote.</p>
<p>If the student senate doesn’t reflect the views of the majority of the student body, what does that say about our idea of government in general? Based on my exposure here as a student and a midshipman, I believe the senate does in fact accurately reflect the ideas and views of the majority of the student body. When walking around in uniform, I look people in the eye as they pass me, but I am amazed at how many avert their eyes when they see someone in a military uniform. Recently, during an exhibition drill practice in a field next to the tennis courts, one student asked us if we ‘actually like spinning rifles’ and why we don’t just ‘send them over to Iraq to blow more peoples’ heads off.'</p>
<p>As far as I know, the University has done nothing regarding this matter. Please correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
