Editorial involvement seems to inspire two attitudes in our generation. On one hand, a group advocates total withdrawal from society and the attitude that one should let things happen as they will with no outside influence. The opposing group blasts the world for its apathetic attitude and preaches the merits of becoming a functioning part of society. When comparing these two extremes of thought, one can see that various degrees of involvement are possible. A look at our surroundings will reveal many of these views. Involvement may be viewed as a way of occupying empty time, as additional trouble and bother, or as a full giving of one’s self to an endeavor. We must evaluate the role of involvement in our lives. A good place for judging is school. One who joins a school activity and then is always too busy and engaged in other work to participate in it is not really involved just because his name appears on the roster. A person who attends meetings with an uninterested attitude is not a real asset to an organization. Activity used just as a way to occupy empty time is not involvement. In order to become involved, one must become a part of what he is participating in. The person who regards participation in an activity only as additional responsibility and worry is not involved either. This person cannot be called involved because he is too reluctant to become pan of an effon that will require additional work. It would seem logical that the person who is doing the most and working the hardest is receiving the most benefits. Being able to say that one has had a pan in a change is, if nothing else, more personally satisfying than the realization that changes are occurring and that the world and the people in it have little use for one’s talents and opinions. It is my wish that my generation see involvement as a giving of one’s self rather than as a time filler or as a source of added responsibilities. I believe that one can achieve infinitely more in school, as well as in the world, by joining in and being part of something, rather than by resting outside the event and making philosophical pronouncements on the condition and fate of things.
