Solving Apathy

Solving Apathy

Dear Sirs,

I am utterly apalled at the amount of apathy present on campus. Although this state of affairs is constantly being lamented by radicals, liberals, jesus-freaks, and even on occasions by students themselves, little is actually done to ease the problem.

The obvious first step in solving the problem is to determine who is responsible for It. To anyone not too blinded by dogmatic fog, the fault clearly lies in the main, with the following groups of people.

1) Commerce students; 2) Law students; 3) Asian students.

The first two groups are clearly of little constructive use at a university and would obviously have their needs better fulfilled at a Polytech. The third group who comprise perhaps the most insidiously apathetic portions of the first two groups clearly act as an anchor to all attempts of the university to make progress in any direction and would be of more use to their families planting rice back in Asia. A further advantage of the forced march home of Asians would be the expulsion of the current Overseas Officer, perhaps the single-most offensive individual on campus, not excepting David Tripe.

The problem has been known for some time, the answer is now upon us. We have only to put the suggested steps into action to achieve a truly stimulating creative, aroused, bubbling campus.

Yours

A. Rimbaud.
