Apathy Debunked

Apathy Debunked

As a result of the overloading of student life in America, several colleges have recently passed amendments governing and limiting participation in extra-curricular activities.

Students in some American colleges are beginning to think they have bitten off more than they can chew, for after years of battling for self-government and the right of each student to participate to an unlimited extent in extra-curricular activities, they are left with a lot of hard work and heavy responsibility. In order to control so many phases of student life as they do, student officials find themselves condemned to putting in a great deal of time at these desks. Editors of college papers are faced with getting an education and conducting a business enterprise at the same time; the fact that they are often salaried officials is proof enough that the work is no longer so much an honour as a chore.
