In response to Friday's article on Takkeem Morgan's comments ("Morgan's comments trigger controversy"):

I understand Morgan's frustrations and sentiments at the apathy that is so prominent among the students here at Penn State. However, I don't condone the actual word choices that he made during the election night celebration. Morgan should've used more tact in his approach because it may somewhat damage his political aspirations -- if he has any -- after Penn State. My sentiments were similar to his when the members of the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments didn't receive the adequate support from our student body nor the Undergraduate Student Government during the March 22 rally for state appropiations in Harrisburg, which affects everybody: staff, students (in-state and out-of-state) and faculty.

But, nobody will respond unless there is a major crisis. To Morgan: Let's face facts; the apathy is no different from the 1992 McDonald's boycott. Prior to the boycott, the students were apathetic until the McDonald's crisis happened.

My point is, the large majority of students here want to respond only during a crisis. It's been that way and will probably continue well into the future.
