Mehta's record is exemplary

The primary criticism of Probir Mehta in recent letters to the editor hinges on Probir Mehta's rationale for joining the Michigan Party. The principal critics "laugh with amazement" at Mehta's decision, calling him "hypocritical." If these cackling critics were to spend less time as the high priests of divisiveness, perhaps they could eliminate the not-so-amazing reality that devoted student leaders cannot work within their party.

Mehta's record stands for itself. In one term as the chair of the Campus Governance Committee, Mehta effectively led the committee by increasing its workload and subsequent productivity.

His ability to recruit a diverse group of students-at-large to serve as conduits on scores of administrative and faculty committees refutes his critics' assertion that his primary concern is "electability." Clearly, Mehta's committee work proves his devotion to student representation.

The tirades of the opposition party serve only to underscore its foremost worry: how to hoodwink students into doubting their own overwhelming favorite of seven straight elections - the Michigan Party.
