Student protestors offered their own views on why the antiwar resolutions didn't fly with elected reps. Julia Blackeney-Hayward, a junior political science major, said that Iraq isn't "relevant" to the college's affluent student body. On Thursday, she stood outside the cafeteria wearing a cardboard sign that criticized the military's policy on sexual orientation.
