Differences be narrowed
Have you heard of Oeinsidae? It is the name of another student group that works for development of HUFS, which differs from General Students Council (GSC). Recently, they published their newspaper to let people know them more clearly. Especially, they came out with the view that raises a question on GSC's way of solving problems on foundation, so that students' concerns about it would be much increased. At this present situation, it is being watched with keen interest whether these various voices would help this urgent, vital matter, reforming the foundation positively.

We often see the sight of the Open Theater in which the event for establishing public foundation is held with shameful numbers of participants. It is not an exaggeration that the only small number of students who are belong to GSC only made real effort to solve the problem so far. So, it is natural that GSC needs other voices to hold in check with each other. At this point, Oeinsidae has done the activities on the fields that GSC did not check up.

Then, this time, they came up to students with critical view of the GSC's activities on reforming foundation. Its appearing with strong feature made a positive result on some sides. First, Oeinsidae's new proposals made students more interested in this matter, which was considered as GSC's own, as well as interest in Oeinsidae itself. Next, active discussions by various groups can lead to more satisfying result.

The situation seems to be hopeful that we can expect more democratic and complete way to make our new foundation. However, if these diverse voices do not develope to the one, cohesive power, it is very dangerous. It may cause a split among students who have various views. Raising a question on another voice is good, but what it has to be careful is that the argue has to be sound criticizing for solving the problem, not just for showing opposite views to other side. Student groups have no time to waste competing each other. The spilt among students would be a big obstacle to solve the matter.

The debate for establishing public foundation and development of HUFS was held on September 25. The president of GSC, vice-president of GSC of graduate school and representative of Oeinsidae participated in the meeting as speakers. It was started with GSC's refuting what was proposed by Oeinsidae.

Both groups expressed their views on the matter one-sidedly which are regarded as appropriate by their own proof. They could not find solutions to their differences on the problem. As influential groups represent students' opinions, their movements are being observed in the future. Each group has to make efforts as a partner of the other group which runs toward a same goal. They have to diminish useless differences of standpoint. To make a better result of our struggle for a new foundation, each efforts of student groups have to be able to bring valuable fruit to HUFS' future.
