Student Apathy

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10921273777&ref=nf

In this facebook note, Jon confronts those who think that this year in student council was a failed one. It got me wondering, what would be a successful year in student council? I mean, what do students really want changed? I see ambitious student council president candidates with a drive to change IMSA and how student council is run. They have the will, but without students to put forth things we want changed, there's no way we can change this mindset of student council as a futile attempt to improve student's lives. Instead of complaining that student council has done nothing, voice your ideas on what they should do.

This is a cool post.

I'd rather not debate/campaign/do stupid things on here. I just wanted to say that a lot of my ideas, as a student, have come from being ON StudCo. Many times, my best ideas come from being submerged in the focused environment of committee meetings.

That's just my two cents.

I think it would be successful if the president didn't feel the need to validate his position to the public; I had a pretty high opinion of the administration this year until his note.
