Irrelevant trash

It amazes me that some students find time to write irrelevent trash into your newspaper taking up space that should be reserved for serious comment and yet never find the time to become Involved in the very real task of running the affairs of the student union. We are all part of It but why do only a handful find time to attend meetings and vote on policy resolutions. Do all the others merely waste their time churning out shit like the 'acting sec. of the pink carnation club'. I wonder if such a person is aware of the Middle-East situation let alone to be able to offer any suggestions of solution.
