Seniors vote for progression
Class gift helps clean up campus for the future
Issue date: 4/10/07 Section: Editorial
With the school year's end rapidly approaching, and seniors preparing to bid farewell to the university, the annual matter of the senior gift has been resolved. The results are far superior to that of last year.
As the class of 2006 strolled off campus last May, they left their legacy behind in the form of a series of clocks located around campus.
This would have been a sweet gift if it were for Flava-Flav or Captain Hook.
This year's class of seniors voted for their gift with their heads and hearts, creating a recycling program to collaborate with the university and help clean up campus.
Those who voted should be commended for their choice, because it shows this senior class cares about the beauty and future of our campus and environment.
A precedent has been set with this gift that it is time for our generation to stop being mouthpieces and start stepping up to clean up the earth.
With the gift, the senior class has hopefully started a trend for itself and all other classes at the university to recycle.
It is one thing to vote for a program which is going to aid the university in helping preserve the environment. It is completely different to act on the vote you cast and help in the cause.
Voting for help, plain and simple, just is not enough. Personal actions are the solution to the problem.
Students need to take their vote a few steps further. They need to begin recycling in their homes, and encourage friends and family members to jump on board and follow their example.
This is how real change will begin. This is how we can truly clean up this planet.
With that said, the actions of this year's senior class are nothing short of extremely generous and caring. An important first step has been taking to help preserve our beautiful campus for years to come.
As for the clocks donated last year, well, maybe this year's gift can aid in cleaning the area around them.
