The Senate decided Sunday night that they would not protest on Accepted Students Day, which will take place on April 12. The Senate Student Life Committee initially told The Mirror on April 1 that they would pass out flyers to incoming students on the Off-Campus Border lottery issue.

Dear Students, Over the past few days, we have all seen the back and forth articles, quotes, and discussions considering the prospect of a student protest regarding the off campus boarder lottery.

If students are willing to work with me and others, I would like to propose a way to repair this breach in lieu of a demonstration.
