As the search for missing Penn State student Cindy Song continues, some students are expressing fear that interest in the search is declining among students.

"As far as the student response, I do think that after the break a lot of the students here on our campus have kind of forgotten about her," said David Davis, secretary for the Black Caucus. "I think that there still isn't the buzz that is needed to help the search for Cindy Song."

Students are forgetting the human element in this case, Davis said.

"I think we're forgetting that this was a student on our very own campus and this was a human life," Davis added. "I just don't think there's been enough noise made about this."

Davis said that it was up to Penn State students to be more involved in helping to find Song.

"A lot more has to be done on the part of the students," he said.

Alissa Whitman (junior-crime, law, and justice) echoed these sentiments.

"I don't think it's been brought up enough," she said. "Students aren't informed of everything. We're really kind of lost."

Some students, however, say they are still following the case.

"You kind of can't help but follow it," Nicole Marinos (junior-agriculture) said.

Nickie Dobo (junior-journalism) said that since Song's disappearance, she has not gone out alone.

"I don't go anywhere at night anymore by myself," she said. "It's kind of frightening."

Undergraduate Student Government President Justin Zartman said the long break might have made the search more difficult.

"With people leaving, it was much more difficult to have that network of people" working on finding Song, he said.

Despite the long break, interest in the case should not cease until Song is found, Zartman said.

"It will never break," Zartman said, citing the numerous signs around campus and the presence of Song's brother, Kiho Song.

USG will continue to raise awareness about Song by keeping the signs up around campus, Zartman said.

"We've been working with the Black Caucus keeping flyers up."

Last semester, Davis and fellow Black Caucus member Assata Richards spearheaded a campaign to raise interest in Song's disappearance, organizing a meeting at which students brainstormed ideas on how to keep interest in Song's case alive.

Song, of Korean descent, was last seen the early morning hours of Nov. 1 wearing a white tennis skirt, pink top, brown knee-high boots and a red-hooded coat. The 21-year old is 5'1" and weighs about 115 lbs.

Anyone with information relating to the whereabouts of Song, or anyone who has seen or heard from her, is asked to call Det. Brian Sprinkle at 237-1172 or 1-800-479-0050.
