This should provide some food for thought. I would be interested to hear what you all think.
"They need to stay out of the student center long enough to figure out what their version of outraged activism really is. Small as it may sound, big change would happen if college students today could protect their purest intentions from the pacifying force of free pizza and resumé kudos. Our generation needs to step into our raw power -- the priceless power of being young and mad. We need to stay hungry long enough to get angry."
I think she has some good points in this article...some things I never thought about. I know some of you have had to jump through so many hoops this semester to get "recognized" by the school and ran the risk of de-activating as a result. The stamped fliers, the room bookings, the film permission, the receipt collection, are all time consuming elements of campus organizing that we are forced to deal with. Is this just the nature of activism for our generation or have we been duped?
