Narrator: Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
Woman: So what do you think of the proposal?
Man: I don't like it.
Woman: Why not?
Man: Actually, I don't think students are the right people to be making these decisions.
They are too close to the situation.
Woman: What do you mean?
Man: Well, because students are directly involved in the groups,
they can't be as objective, as fair as administrators.
I mean what will prevent students on the committee from just giving money to their friends' groups or favoring the groups they're in themselves?
I think having the university administrators make the decisions is more fair.
Woman: Well, at least it would be good experience for the students who serve on the committee.
Man: Well, that's another thing.
I think they'd have a hard time finding students to serve on it.
I mean, there are already a number of leadership positions open in various campus groups,
but most students just aren't interested in them.
Woman: That's true. The Student Council doesn't even have a vice president.
Man: Right. Most students are just too busy.
There's no way you're going to find enough students who are willing to volunteer their time for this committee.
It's too big of a time commitment.
