RE: Is 17's logic flawed?

By: loyaleagle , Jan 6 2008, 6:15 AM EST I now understand your confusion a bit....the whole not being on campus anymore thing. Well basically the people who's job it is to represent us don't really do anything (the student senate, executive branch) and from my experience with the higherups in the university, they like to talk to students but really don't include us in their long term plans. Why should they? They already have our money and in 4 years, we're gone. Sure we might have some power as alumni later, but that doesn't really help our current living conditions/administration set rules/food services. Just "saying" that you disagree without any forum to do so is kind of silly, i think. Anyway this group is almost certainly not violent, they just pretty much did a poor job of editing the Virginia declaration of rights to match their aims. I don't think they're blaming the system, I think they are trying to make a new one that can organize events and protests to things at mason without interference from the administration (as that would be counterproductive). While I like a good number of people in our administration, most of them don't take a challenge to their authority very well and I completely understand the need for a covert group as opposed to a group that is under the financial and administrative thumb of Mason Hall. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
