In September the student member of the Anaheim Union High School District will have a new responsibility.

The student member, John Metzidis, argued emphatically for the change last week, saying the representative should do more than give a school activities report. Trustees Harald G. Martin and Robert Stewart said they opposed the change because a student member’s votes on controversial matters could put the student in an uncomfortable position among peers.
