Why is the opinion board blank so often? Why does SGA need to recruit people for executive posi tions? Why doesWeather Vane have trouble getting responses to articles? With the announcement of a tuition increase, in all likeli hood students will not be picketing the administration as indi cated in this week’s editorial cartoon. Other recent events have not fazed many, or so it seems. Many students do not seem to have any opinion on the restrictions imposed on Internet use in the communications decency law — or have been unaware that this was even hap pening. Also, few students seemed to be disturbed by the racist inci dent President Lapp addressed in chapel last week. The point here is that Big Things are happening around us, but most students are not showing much of a reaction. Maybe this apathy thing relates to Maslowe’s “hierarchy of needs” - a concept from General Psychology. It goes something like this: If people are unable to meet their most basic needs — food, clothing, shelter — then they will not have the inclination to worry about abstract things, such as the meaning of life. Possibly, students are so concerned about meeting the bills for their education — and many other bills — that we are miss ing out on why we’re here at EMU. Shouldn’t we be strug gling with more overarching issues of what should be most significant in life and how life should be lived?
