Apathy. . . again TotheEdrtor,

e: S~den tPo l i t i a - W r #l R Killer,July 16. While1 agree withsame of Mr.

Stewarr'ssomovbatcynicalubsewa- tions, I'm afraid that [ don't agree wirh his rmoning.

SNdenr'apathy"(a termwhich I'll use to describe lack of involve- ment) is a problem at every univer- sityinthecounmy. Thclcvelrofsuch apathy, however,vary fromcampus tocampus,andare higher here than atmany (burnotall)othercampuscs. So in examining why students arc

apathetic at UW, it is important to considcr thosc things thar make Watcrloo different from orhcr uni- vcrrlue\. I uouldwbmatharthewo rh~ngs that Mr. Stewart ha, w "11- handedly dismissed as rcaronr for such apathy (i.e. 'the Co-op [pro- gammc] or the pragmatic nature of UM students") may he significant fact~rsconmibudngmapath~ at UM.

Regarding the crux of Mr. Stewart's argument (ic. the student cabalson campus), I agree that they exist (although perhaps nut to the extent that Mr. Stewart hclicvcs).

Huwcvcri'mnotsurc tharrhcy hwr thecffci'r that he believes they do, A cliquc trndstobcan'insider"prob- Iem; rhat istosay rhatthey usually are only not~ccdandaffeefthorealrrad~ insiderhesyrrem.Iacceptthatcliques can rlrivcaway chow who haw vol- nnrrrrrd; I'vc rcun it happun. ~ ' m nor convinced, however. thar rhcy actually have the effcct of prevenr- inganysignificantnumber~fper,~lc from volunrecring in the first placc.

Sowltat is it thcnthat causead1 rhirnparhy?lsitany ofthrserhings? Perhaps all of thcm? The answer is that the problem is stmultaneously muchm~~rrsirnpkc~dmuchmo~e complex than posed. Apathy within a body can be expressed almost en- "rely as a function of rhc wnre of commurrity possessed by that body. Oneonly need compare Waterloo tothoseinsdturionswhichdevelopa strong sense of community in their studenn.OrperhapslmkattheCity of Waterloo: how many students carrwhathappcnsinthiscirv? How . . many consider Waterloo home? The problem rhat Mr. Stewart has at-

with students; it's human nature ~ t - self. Thccau,esliwd byMr. Srewan arc really nothing mure rhau con-

tributing factors - things which causc the bondsof community to be weakened. Thcse can't he altcred; they're facts of life. If you want to dccrcaw student apathy, don't look for ways ro deal wirh rhese issue; concentrate insread on the things char bringus doscrrogethcr in spire ulthem.
