I followed with some interest the recent columns by Drew Harmon, “Time to let go of hopes for better things, let apathetic do as they please,” (SN 8/7), and Rishi Kundi, “Loss of faith in public encouragement doesn’t bode well,” (SN 8/8). The question of student apathy generally focuses around causes, or “why don’t those idiots care about what’s going on?” I would suggest that there are two reasons: Many students have the incorrect perception that local and state politics don’t affect them much, and the correct perception that they can’t do much about it anyway. For the effects of local politics, consider that many local initiatives (such as the Capital Area Transportation Authority question of last Tuesday’s vote) affect property taxes, which directly affect rent.
