The motion stated that "the low '
percentage of students voting in
SGC elections reflects their lack of

student body."
About 5,000 students, an esti-
mated 15 per cent, voted on the
referendum. The measure passed
by less than 1,000 votes.
In addition, the motion said that
the individual student's support of
SGC should not be a "duty or ob-

SGC's power should not "be in
