What an interesting week it was for everybody at Wartburg College.
One thousand students marched to President Hamm’s house and asked him to declare an Outfly.
Even though many students still attended class that day, it still showed a lot about the students of this college.
In a way it was an awakening for the college.
We praise the effort of Project Orange to bring the students together and make this Outfly happen. We also praise the students who chose to march.
If it weren’t for the students who showed up, we might not be having any discussion.
We mentioned in last week’s Editorial on the Energy Challenge that students have to voice their opinion on issues to improve the college.
This, of course, rings true for all campus issues that Wartburg College has. It really is up to the students to voice their feelings.
That said, students shouldn’t just forget about this moment and move on with their daily college routine.
Students need to take a greater interest in the daily happenings of Wartburg, whether that is by joining a group, or even attending a student senate meeting. It’s important to know what goes on.
Students should not to let the dialogue with the administration die off.
Students need to voice their opinions about this college, good or bad.
A lot of things make this college what it is now. We’re referring to the faculty, the programs, the buildings, etc.
However, it’s hard to have a college without students. Let’s not forget this.
