To the Editor:
Last week, the Swarthmorean printed a short letter written by Don Delson expressing his view that “service is its own reward.” Don speaks for others. On Borough Council for eight years and spending my days after college building the Swarthmore Senior Citizens Association, I always felt it a privilege to serve my town, as I know did Don.
Please, whoever is responsible for the proposal to pay our elected officials, think again. And thank you, Don, for bringing this debate to all. Voluntary service has always been a special part of this town.
