pecting to learn how to grow as an individual but also work as a team with other students. What I didn't expect was the students to act so childishly and selfishly and not think of the hard work people put into things. Rather, they prefer to criticize and make harsh judgments about things people do.

spect for those individuals on that stage. They could have said no, but instead they did it not only for themselves, but for the school, so you guys could enjoy a good show instead of sitting in your room watching "E.R."

This past week, a revelation was brought to my attention and, no, it was not the administration's fault I finally realized that this institution is not a college of young adults trying to make a difference in their lives. Rather, it is a further advancement of my high school years. Why do I say this? The students at this school act like little freshmen in high school and do not give a crap about anything but themselves.

Now, I am not speaking for everyone. I know there are certain individuals who do many things on this campus. However, there is not enough effort from the other students. When I came to Cabrini College I was ex-

This week, I, along with the rest of the sophomore class board, hosted the Mr. and Ms. Cabrini pageant. Be advised this is only my point of view and in no way does it reflect the rest of the board's views. However, certain individuals were very irritated with hearing there was a Ms. Cabrini and there were even others who felt that there should not have been a Mr. Cabrini pageant. They felt that people would take this event seriously and other people would lose respect for them. Listen, people, this event was a joke. It was solely an event for you guys to enjoy (not to put pressure on anyone or to offend anyone). The whole point was to have fun and make money for the sophomore class.

Now, I'm not saying I agreed with some of the behavior that went on. Hell, some of it I didn't appreciate, but I have the utmost re- realizes I have many jobs on campus. However, I make it a point to say what I feel when something should be done or something should not. Do you think that a school can survive if the students don't give us some input? I don't think so.

This leads me to my next point activities on this campus. SGA and CAP do a great job. You guys are the ones who voted for these people to be in office back in the spring, remember? So if you've got a problem with one or many people on the board and do not like the things that are going on, just remember you are the ones who put them there.

You guys are the future of this school, so make a change for the better. I know there are people out there who have great ideas but are afraid to share them. Don't be like that.

Stand up for what you want and present it to your class board, CAP or SGA. We are the ones who want to give you guys a good time on the weekend. We can't read your minds, so give us something to work with and don't worry about what other people might say.

We are only human. We cannot satisfy everyone and we can't do anything unless you, the students, make the time for us. If other people are going to influence your life when you're 20 years old, then maybe you belong in high school and not at Cabrini College.

About a month ago there was a student council campus-wide meeting. Do you know how many of you showed up? Four. Four people. That is a disgrace. How are we supposed to make this campus fun and enjoyable for you on the weekend if you're not even going to show up when time is allotted for you to speak your mind?

I understand that school is rough. I understand this because anyone who knows me
