The Role of SDRs The actual role of SDRs in the environment of Junior College is to resolve or attempt to resolve issues raised by students which have to do with their respective departments – for example, the regular absence of a lecturer. The practice of having student representatives has multiple benefits for the student population. Anonymity, for example, is something which has the potential to be of great benefit to the student. The fact that a representative is presenting the issue means that uncomfortable situations between lecturer and student can be avoided, and students who would normally hesitate would feel confident enough to raise their issue. A united front can be presented when multiple people have the same issue. An organised, well-planned proposal can be presented by a representative, and contain statements and comments from all those involved, without having overlapping and conflicting ideas. One could also say that through two representatives, the entire weight of all of the students of that department could be brought to bear in favour or against a particular decision. When issues need to be resolved quickly, this has the potential to give students the power to improve their departments for the better, in order to benefit both themselves and the rest of the student population. As people who together represent the entire student population in academic matters, these student representatives can also use this to their advantage in order to promote, come up with or organise activities related to their departments. Humanities representatives can organise debates, Sciences students can organise projects or visits to scientific locations, and so on. The initiative of one student can become something that all fellow colleagues can benefit from. It is important, however, that student representatives remain capable and willing to effect change. The power to make decisions in favour of the student, and to approach staff who representatives feel can do a better job, is what gives students who take advantage of this their edge. If this power starts to ebb, or is disregarded, the potential for constant improvement that characterises departments who respect their student representatives will be lost, and the population will stagnate. It is obvious, therefore, that to have a team of representatives there to enforce the academic potential of the students is indeed essential. However, what is more essential is that these representatives are used, and to their full potential.
