A.S. Representative Argues Funds Rightfully Allocated
I am writing this in response to your editorial titled “Misappropriating Our Will” (Daily Nexus, Oct. 6).

Misappropriating Our Will
UCSB’s Associated Students believes it knows best. They believe they know what is best for you, your fellow students, and future students to come. After all, you did elect them. The members of A.S.
