Every year it happens. Some Student Government Association official or campus club president blames the failure of another event on one thing: apathy. But at best it’s a misjudgment, and when you really look at the issue, you can see it’s simply not true. With more than 200 organizations on campus, most students are involved in something at TCU, and many pour themselves into those one or two things they’re doing. At times, almost to a fault. In talking about this week’s Culture Shock 2002, Cristina Ramos, treasurer of Sigma Lambda Alpha, said organizations often become too involved with themselves. Could it be that the reason no one shows up to the event in the lounge with the guy speaking on “the need for involvement in organizations” is because people are on their way to their next group meeting or club event? But Culture Shock organizers seem to be doing it right. Bringing different minority groups together in one event brings the strength of each organization. Hopefully it will be enough to turn a few heads. After all, combining groups provides a larger audience, and a larger audience means a greater outreach to the university as a whole. It’s a proven fact: People follow people, and numbers draw numbers. With more people at an event, students walking by will wonder what’s happening. So will this combination work? Maybe it will. Maybe we will see people flocking to the events. But if not, don’t blame it on the students. After all, they’re on their way to their next meeting. |
