The Anti-Apathy Campaign should pick specific things to focus on so that they are not so broad. It’s hard for people to get pumped up about not being apathetic. They need an issue or a cause on which to focus their efforts. For example, there are state elections in less than two months. The Anti-Apathy Campaign could hold a voter registration drive. They could also help inform people about the candidates running, with- out taking sides, and focus on getting people to vote, no matter for whom they cast their ballot. They could also help drive people to the polls on Election Day. The SGA elections are another event with which the Anti-Apathy Campaign could get involved. Voter turnout usually hovers around 20 percent or even lower. By informing UA students of the candidates and getting them to decide what issues matter to them personally, they could promote anti-apathy and help drive up voter turnout. The point is that students cannot be asked not to be apathetic if you don’t give them an issue, cause or controversy to focus their efforts. This group has the potential to do major things if they use its diversity to their advantage. But, they have to provide opportunities for students to get involved. They must also not be afraid to tackle con- troversial issues. Obviously, to stay a non-partisan group will be difficult, but by talking about the issues, people can decide which side of the fence they stand on and will be able to get involved and make a difference.
