Announcement from the Student Stadium Committee ⟦line⟧ Our Dear Students The conditions sweeping the stadium require precise organization, comprehensive reform, and continuous determination to advance it and raise it to the appropriate status as a sophisticated institution. This depends on your efforts, students, because the stadium belongs to everyone, and everyone enjoys spending their playtime there. Its contents belong to you and its furniture is your property. Therefore, we are hopeful that you will preserve all its contents and observe its regulations, O students. The establishment of our committee was for the purpose of serving you, because it is not possible for any group to perform any work, especially organized work such as stadium activities, without serious organization. Therefore, we have set the goals of our student committee on the basis of cooperation with the stadium committee and its management to ensure the interests of the students themselves. Observing laws and obeying regulations is one of the characteristics of a sophisticated society, and obeying regulations does not mean submission. We all know that things become chaotic without organization and without laws. Therefore, all members of our committee offer their services to advance student activities and aim to improve their situation. At the same time, this committee urges students to abandon incorrect behaviors regarding the committee. Consequently, we are all confident that you will respond to our call to serve the public interest. Akram Bahr Sabah Nazim Aiden Musa Haroun Ibrahim Aboud Tawfiq ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧
