For the Daily
Thirty years ago, the University
was practically a different place. The
old buildings still stood, but new
ideas about love and war raced
through campus daily. As the nation
was torn apart, student activism hit
new highs. The '60s ... peace, man.
So what's to be said about the
'90s? Apathy
is a buzz-
word, but it's "A diverse

many of these groups have a mission.
Activism lives on.
Activism in the '90s differs from
its earlier counterparts, as students
have turned to working with, rather
than against, the University estab-
lishment. While they may once have
disdained student opinions, faculty
and administration now welcome

student leaders who attend and par-

Mona Hanna, an LSA senior who
chairs the Environmental Theme
Semester Team and is a member of
the MSA Environmental Issues
Commission, often presents stu-
dents' ideas while working with the
faculty and administration.

ingredients to promote effective
action.
"When putting together the
Environmental Theme Semester, the
faculty initially thought up the cours-
es and academic speakers that coin-
cide with the theme," Hanna said.
"But the students brought life to
the theme, planning events and
devising creative and trendy publici-
ty schemes to get their peers
involved."
This cooperative and determined
effort exceeded all expectations
when the Michigan Union over-
flowed with energized students dur-
ing the theme semester's kick-off
event.
There were not enough of the 250
pre-ordered T-shirts to go around.
Whether the goal is to win the
Rose Bowl or raise money for a
cause, teamwork seems the key to
activism in the University communi-
ty.
Rather than get lost in Michigan's
competitive atmosphere, student
groups are inspired by constant inter-
action and communication. Student
activism is creating a web of con-
nected groups.
"This is a prime example of how
a diverse student body with different
interests can unite to satisfy a goal,"
said Andrew Bunsden, who works
for Ellipse Jazz, a University
Activities Center group that pro-
grams and books national musical
acts. Bunsden is planning a multi-
dimensional event joining such
groups as the MSA environmental
