I would like to concur with the Collegian's editorial ("YAF should pressure USG to keep meetings open," Jan. 29 editorial) and commend the Young Americans for Freedom for filing suit against the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Senate within the USG Supreme Court for blatantly disregarding the rules in their own constitution. Why is it this year's Senate feels as though they may constantly break the very own rules that govern them?

Additionally, with such a blatant disregard for the standards set forth by their own Supreme Court, is the Senate trying to insinuate they are more powerful or yet more important then other branches within USG? To close meetings to the public is first and foremost a reprehensible thing to do. Also, coming off the heels of the outcry of last year's Senate, why is it this year's new Senate is so enveloped with a continual beauracratic game of constantly changing and rewriting their own bylaws.

Are their any more direct or tangible ways USG Senate could be helping the students they supposedly serve? Dismissing good student representatives behind closed doors and other games leaves the average person even further bewildered as to why USG exists. Sadly, it seems like repeatedly this year the USG Senate is missing the boat on what should be their primary goal, representing the Undergraduate Student Body at Penn State.
