Winning Essay
(Continued from page two)
of students do not see it as a
result of student initiative or the
manifestation of student voice in
the University—but there is a
Canoe Fete.
And it is not dreamed up by
the University president. Nor did
the faculty decide at a weekly
meeting that it would be nice.
When a disinterested student
mentions casually at dinner
that he wishes someone would
take action on something
vaguely unpleasant to him, a
Senate member from his house
puts it on the next Senate
agenda. The Senate quickly in
vestigates the problem, and if
possible does something about
it. If action should have proved
impossible, no one ever notices
it was investigated.
For such is the nature of stu
dent apathy. Only the flashy
projects are noticed; only the im
aginative campaigns are sup
ported.
The work of the University
quietly and efficiently gets done,
both in the student and faculty
areas.
Student government’s role may
be purely functionary and static
—but it changes in the mind of
Betty and Joe, busily attending
picnic and desserts and building
signs, only when THEY know
about it.
They need to know more. But
they don’t seem to want to.
