Students Satisfied with Status Quo?

We are two average students, who commute to varsity from home, like most other students. We came to Varsity to study hard, broaden our limited horizons and gain a degree. We hope to be able to make positive contributions to New Zealand society (and if we can't we shall go overseas).

We did not come here to indulge in petty revolutionary politicking. As we are here at the tax payer's expense we should be very careful about biting the hand that feeds us.

We also feel that students are not part of some privileged elite. We have no right to force our minority opinions on the government that a large majority of New Zealanders elected.

Although we agree that education is a right not a privilege, we feel that the bursaries issue is a different kettle of fish. Students should, as we do carry some of the burden themselves.

We are sick and tired of the same beady-eyed slogan-screaming, left wing agitators, (whose views are shared by less than l% of students) getting up in SRC's and trying to extort money from the government.

The government is well aware that most students are satisfied with the status quo because they can see how many votes radical left wing parties received in the last general election.

We urge all students to boycott all Bursaries Activities and concentrate on getting down to some damn hard work—after all that is what we are here for.
