CAPITAL TIMES, August 22, 1990,
FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK...
Student apathy filtered through Olmsted's halls last year,
but the 1990-91 academic year will be different! My hopes of
a successful year with the clubs and organizations were
renewed during orientation. While conducting club business
in the SGA office, new students stopped in to ask information
about joining various clubs.
Do you hear that student leaders and club presidents? You
don't have to beg or bribe students to become members --
just get information about your organizations to the students
and they'll come to you! (Club Fest is next week so get ready
to recruit new members.) • . •
"Nothing to do?" There are approximately 40 active clubs
and organizations on campus -- all relating to various majors
and interests -- which provide an opportunity to work with
other students as part of a team to achieve common goals.
A successful college career directly depends upon what
you put into it. You need more than books and
lectures...what about practical experience! You can gain this
experience by participating in a club that directly relates to
your major and interests. Channel some of your time and
energy into a student organization that would benefit from
your input and yield important individual rewards as well.
This is an upper division campus and graduation is right
around the corner. Be warned: most employers look for
students who participated in extracurricular activities
because of the technical skills, leadership skills, and personal
development you gain from being a team member.
Besides providing important, practical experience related
to your goals, the clubs and organizations give you a break
from books and studying. There is so much more to college
than books, so make the most of college. I believe working
with others and practical work experience provides tangible
knowledge you can use after you graduate. You'll discover
why all the student leaders on campus have FUN and never
complain about "nothing to do."
With a combined effort, PSH clubs can be fun and
successful. Your input in our organizations will eliminate
student apathy at PSH!
