While ASMSU will have an official logo embedded on future volumes of the Red Cedar Log, several of its representatives want ASMSU to leave a more significant mark on the publication. ASMSU’s policy committee rejected a bill Tuesday that would grant the Red Cedar Log Advisory Committee and the ASMSU Student Assembly editorial control over the yearbook. “The purpose of the bill is to create accountability with ASMSU because of a historical consistency of misrepresentation for our minority population,” said Bryan Newland, the North American Indian Student Organization representative for the ASMSU Student Assembly. Although the failed measure was not endorsed by the policy committee, supporters have called on minority students to gather at the assembly’s weekly meeting tonight in support of the bill.
