| Message | Agree with 1 & 5. 2. We would agree with reducing proposals, but to 25-30. 3. We'd prefer it'd stay the same. If not, make the minimum 15. 4. 'For God, For Country' - We'd prefer 'ad majorem Dei gloriam 'For the Greater Glory of God', for that is a Jesuit motto, and in the end, is the BPNPS' goal to make Selucia. Overall, we feel strongest about #4. We do not want the motto in Latin, unless it is to be 'ad majorem Dei gloriam.' Right now, BPNPS votes no. W/out article 4 BPNPS votes yes. Switch articles 2 & 3 to our ideals and BPNPS will disregard article 4, therefore voting yes. |
