Class of 1998 Contributions Go Far Beyond Names on a Paper Ballot

To the Editor: I am writing in response to the Monday editorial which described the "apathy of the soon-to-be senior Class of 1998," which "may become known as the 'do-nothing class.'" While I certainly agree that the Class of 1998 as a whole should take a more active role in the leadership of the student body, I feel very strongly that the contributions of 1998s both within and outside of the student government hardly amount to nothing. Like many of my classmates, I have chosen not to become involved in the formal campus student government, but as a member of many different campus organizations, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of student leaders, both from my class and others.
