Create Student Committee to Decide Funding for Student Organizations

I think students should be in charge of deciding which student organizations (for example, the jazz band or the hiking club) receive money from the university. Students should also be in charge of how much money each organization receives. A special committee made up of students could be created to make these decisions. Currently, these funding decisions are made by university administrators, but a student committee would know better than the administrators which organizations are most important to students and most deserving of the university’s financial support. I’m sure a lot of students would be interested in serving on the committee, and those who do serve will gain valuable leadership experience.

Sincerely,

The man expresses his opinion of the letter writer’s proposal. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.

文本参考(~160w)：

Bill wrote a letter to the university to suggest that a students' committee should be created to decide the funding for student organizations, because in his opinion, students themselves know better than administrators about the organizations and they can gain valuable leadership experience. (~40w, 10-15s)

But the man in the conversation doesn't like the proposal. (~10w, 3-5s)

Because first, students are never the right people to make the decisions because they are too close to the situation and won't be objective and fair like the university administrators. According to him, if some student is in charge, the preference of the funding would definitely goes to his/her own favorite or some friends' organizations. (~55w, 15-20s)

Second, as to the leadership experience mentioned in the letter, the man takes it as hard to be met. Because most students are uninterested in leading positions because they're too busy. For instance, the position of vice president in the student council is still vacant. According to the speaker, the participation in the committee is too big a time commitment. (~55w, 15-20s)
