Hopefully everyone survived, perhaps even enjoyed, their first day of class. As Hillsdale, we are so lucky to attend a school where the principles of this club are soundly affirmed in the lectures we attend.

We cannot, however, allow this acceptance turn into complacency. It's easy to fall into the trap of losing motivation, because it seems like everyone around you shares your opinion. This advantage allows us to be even more involved in our community and state. Get involved in local campaigns and come to events we co-sponser with the the community, like the 9/11 vigil next Friday night.

Many of you came to Hillsdale College with hopes to change the world. Join with us, and we'll do just that.
