Although the signilit .ml rise in student inlrr

Student harrii ades. rallvs and dedir ation dis

Michael Dawson president ol the (iraduale

on the trendy as per I ol the resurgent o as a posi

I leally have to believe that a large majority
ol the campus activism this year is suit ere
"II it is indeed trendy mm the sou ailed 'in’
thing to do llnm ue t an definitely use that to our
advantage People aren’t going to come out un
less they re i out erned Dawson.said
So, hopefully one o they make that lirsl step
to get involved and then are exposed to some of
the details ot the problems fa< mg our world and
that they i an at tually do something .iIhiu! it, then
they- will stu k u tth it as much as they i an \nd I
think that is what's going on this veal
"Yes. attrition and people fizzling out has al
wav s been a problem U ulfers added
Hut a lot more people are sticking yyilh it
this year Past year, we had approximately ‘it)
people at a general interest meeting with almost
halt dropping out Phis year yye had more than
100 people with maybe 5 percent dropping out
shortly .liter I'rendy? I don't know Hut we've
never had these kinds of numbers
Some students however are voicing tiled
oyy n i uni erns but don't see increased student ai
livism as a genuine implement to voile those
i mil erns
I definitely think that then- are some obvi
mis pressing environmental and social issues
facing out generation said Pirn ( idem.in. a ju
uim anthropology student
"Hut I just don't know it all of the i rap that's
been going on this term is really rt'flei live of how
the lore of com erned students would go about
things Stile, these people obviously have good
intentions and definite concerns, hut they |iisl
seem so unorganized, nothing good really seems
to come of it
"You almost have to wonder il most of the
people ill the hai k are just doing it because it's
somehow trendy "( diem,in said
The rising interest in student activism has
lead to a v irtual explosion in the amount ot ai turn
groups on campus prov iding a pollui k ol i auses
