Honovich Acted As True Representative

To the Editor:

I don't pretend to know the intricate workings of the Student Assembly, I am just a '98 with not all that much interest in student government.

However, I do know that the only thing that I have heard from the Assembly since I have been here is from John Honovich '97, who apparently was taking the time to find out the opinions of the students on his own.

In addition, when I blitzed him with a rather irate message responding to his blitz about the meal plan, he took the time to respond and explain the situation to me personally and tell me what was being done by him and by the Student Assembly about the meal plan.

I was impressed by this display of interest in my opinions that clearly went far beyond his duties and yet mirrored something of the ideal for a public servant.

Unlike my experiece with many people involved in student government, who seem to be in it simply for their own personal prestige or interest, Honovich seemed to be truly concerned with improving the school for the students here.

I can't fault that and I don't think that anyone else can either.
