Rosenberg Promises Strong Pro-Bow Voice on Coop Board

Rosenberg's efforts culminated in a "Save the Bow Night" at the pub itself on February 17, which netted over 600 signatures for a petition that Rosenberg intended to present to the Coop Board of Directors.

He got his chance at the April 6 board meeting, when Rosenberg and Braga attended and delivered the signatures.

According to Rosenberg, their demands included an examination of the IDM contract and a four-way meeting, with the Coop, IDM, the Bow owners and Save the Bow campaign members all attending.

"At [an April 6] meeting, [the Coop directors] certainly were not receptive to our plan," Rosenberg said. "The students were unnaturally silent, even after I had given them three opportunities to talk; I don't know if they didn't care about the Bow or the voice of the students or they were too intimidated to talk."

"But that is all irrelevant as of June 1st. That is my whole point about turnover--this is going to be a whole new board, with only one of the same student members," Rosenberg continued.

Murphy had a different view on the student board members' participation at the April 6 meeting.

"Both students and non-students are very vocal about their opinions. They were less talkative during [Rosenberg's] presentation because it was not a discussion, but primarily him talking to us," Murphy said yesterday.
