The Hatchet’s editorial board argues that the Student Association Senate needs to avoid a legacy of self interest in favor of direct advocacy for students.

There is something that the Student Association Senate of recent years and 17th century philosopher René Descartes have in common: both spent most of their time trying to justify their own existence. But for the SA Senate, the mantra “I think; therefore I am” won’t do it. They need to do a lot more than simply think to justify their existence.
