Not for BCA students
Not for BCA students
Dear Sir,
You should have your noses down.
This is my first letter to that radical, disruptive, left-wing, socialist (etc. etc.) thing called Salient. I am a conservative apathetic third year BCA student (doing stage II due to an unfortunate event in my first year—I failed my major subject).
Always, fellow BCA students—and myself—complain bitterly to each other about numerous tiling's which come under the nasty nebulous title of "the System", but the only alternative (to our conservative minds) is anarchy—and of course this is worse.
Finally, when an opportunity to do something positive comes up, where are all the dis contented students? At the inaugural meeting on Tuesday of the proposed Commerce and Administration students association, no loudmouthed critics (or supporters) were there. No supporters is understandable — in a discussion as to whether or not those present were representative of all BCA students, or only the dissatisfied ones, one bright spark stated that nobody could be satisfied with the system as it was—so if you're contented with it you are a nobody—or haven't thought about it.
If you're dissatisfied-or positively satisfied, take an interest next time you hear of this group. They need your help to prevent BCA graduates from being mere machines.
