Is CSC trying to cater to children or students?

This year, zombies hit the school for Homecoming. However, the zombies weren’t all fake.

The students across campus seemed to neglect the activities that took place on campus the day of Homecoming. It seemed as if the students were undead already. Why else would they have been unable to enjoy all the events that were provided? There was very little student participation in events the day of Homecoming, especially in CAB’s Club “Carn’evil.”

Fifteen different clubs participated in the club carnival, not including CAB members, in order to put it together. There were several different booths with games and food, and plenty of club members. There was only one thing missing: students.

Student turnout for the carnival was abysmal. At any time during the carnival, there were probably no more than 15 students participating.

Meanwhile, many community members and families came to enjoy the festivities of the carnival. In fact, children generally outnumbered students, and at many of the booths, it was more likely to see children playing games and community members watching their families.

It’s not a terrible thing that children of the community were able to join the festivities of homecoming. In fact, it was encouraged that community members be present at homecoming events. However, it is curious that actual students were not interested enough to show up for something so very conveniently located on campus.

CAB allocated $1,000 to homecoming activities. It’s crucial to remind everyone that that money is student money. We are paying for these homecoming events. If this is true, didn’t the students just pay money for community members to enjoy the activities meant for them? What are we really paying for overall?

Students should be taking a bigger interest in what their student activity money is going toward, by actually participating in the activities they are paying for.

If more students were interested in putting their money to good use, they would actually benefit from it. By attending more events, students can see how their money is being spent while participating in fun events.
