Misconduct As undergraduate students, we want to express our
anger at the disgraceful manner our USAC President John Du chose to
represent our student body during last Friday’s retirement
celebration for Chancellor Young. Others attending the event, such
as Graduate Students Association President Chris Tymchuk,
respectfully limited their speeches to thanking Young for the time
and effort he put into making UCLA the university it is today. Du,
however, sporting khaki pants and a T-shirt, used his time to make
a political statement for the SAGE/UAW strike. Du’s actions were
completely inappropriate for the occasion. We are outraged that Du
couldn’t think of someone other than himself and his own propaganda
machine for once and give the chancellor the respect he deserves.
Du should be ashamed of himself and owes both the undergraduate
student body and Chancellor Young an apology. Dave Brennan
