UI Interim President Richard Remington, student and campus leaders, deans and other members of the UI community were on hand Tuesday evening for the 71st annual Finkbine Dinner of Representative Students held in the Union Main Lounge.
Remington called the dinner an occasion that encourages I graduates to excel and to acknowledge the UI, and he defined the leadership roles of students and alumni.
"Leadership that is expressed only in words cannot be truly effective," he said. "leadership is something more than the mere exercising of power."
UI Collegiate Associations council President Mike Reck said the three criterium used to determine award recipients -- loyalty, leadership and learning -- are "woefully inadequate." Reck said that, too often, leadership is used only to maintain the status quo.

"WE NEED TO root out the bad traditions to which we should not be loyal," he said, citing inadequate minority enrollment, services for the disabled and status of faculty women at the UI.
UI Student Senate President Melinda Hess said she hopes a trend toward excellence, diversity and accessibility at the UI continues, and she encouraged stu-
