I especially enjoyed this comment on campus involvement:
I've come to realize that there is a large spectrum of engagement on campus ranging from not involved at all to highly involved in campus affairs. First I'd like to point out that I feel it's a good thing a spectrum exists, a campus full of non involved students would be detrimental to the institution, and at the same time, this university does not have to capacity to accommodate a campus full of highly involved students.
The same could be said of just about any community. Although I must say, media would be doing a lot better if everybody cared a great deal about local and state politics. And frankly, this blog might not exist. But then again, maybe I'd be getting paid real money to do this.
