Letter: Restart embodies progress that campus needs
Apr. 8, 2014I will admit that I, too, had been indifferent toward student politics prior to this election. As it has been said countless times before, the student government has been worthless, incapable of making any real impact in regard to student issues. I was previously cynical toward the Restart campaign, thinking the goals too lofty, the plans too fragile and idealistic. But one cannot deny the passionate fervor with which the leaders of this group pursue their objectives, nor can one deny the national and international support and messages of solidarity directed toward the Student Union. I realize now that my thinking was shortsighted, that I allowed my mindset to be limited by what is known and safe. Progress will march forward without regard for those clinging to the conventions of the past, and this idea of progress is what Restart advocates.
