I had an extra dollar on Friday so I decided I would purchase a raffle ticket for WPPJ’s annual Rock-a-Thon, like I do every year.  I used to have a program as a freshman and sophomore, so I like to support the station and the charity that the event chooses to support through Rock-A-Thon. I was not sure at the time if it was from lack of sleep, apathy, or if I just smelled that badly but those running the WPPJ table outside the Point Café were not the friendliest folk I had encountered that day.  In fact, I have met dispossessed drug addicts with better attitudes. There seems to be a general lack of attitude on-campus lately, specifically a general lack of care when it comes to anything worthy of such a display. Speaking of displays of care, I cannot seem to find anyone on campus that is really standing behind this “metamorphosis of me” or “Academic Village” nonsense, especially within the administrative offices on campus.  After speaking to three different student account representatives over the course of a month and a half, the third informed me that my federal aid package was missing two documents; completing these forms would save me a boatload of money by not having to draw well over $4,000 from my alternative line of credit, allowing me to move into the dorms, my balance being paid and financially cleared.                       Not that I think these ladies, or those in the number of offices I have visited, had ill intentions of making my life increasingly difficult by leaving me in the dark and homeless for a month, but they most certainly had an obligation to tell me that my financial aid package was incomplete, or to ask me if I wished to opt out of federal aid.  By their own demonstration, it is clear to me that administrators are really not standing behind any inspirational bologna. Just as you are about to ask, where the heck am I going with this, here you go: The attitudes of administrators affect the attitudes of the students who are expecting assistance since that just so happens to be what they pay for. Maybe WPPJ members are just as beat up and angry as I am, getting the run-around from administrators.  I had a heck of a time writing this, since I was originally going to complained about the lack luster Rock-A-Thon; however, I realized that a lot of folks I know are not as motivated to push themselves, or even faithful to the “Academic Village,” anymore.  If administrators were even less attentive, would we even choose to go to Point Park University all over again?   WPPJ has been pretty busy this semester, putting on a concert series, existing, and now Rock-A-Thon which I dare say is one of the most beloved of campus events.  Record sales particularly being a crowd favorite…which was absent this year, instead we got a bunch of kids staring into their laptop screens or the distance looking hopeless and forlorn.I can’t really figure out what to say.First, if I was trying to raise donations for the education and advancement of disabled children, I would most certainly show a greater deal of enthusiasm to a clearly willing patron.  Second, I would jump at the chance to forget about how crappy this semester has been and put on a happy face because out of all the nonsense I deal with here, I would be doing something worthwhile.  When I say I, I mean we as students who fought to get to college and who fight to stay in college, who have the drive to step beyond the classroom and try to make a difference, which is what Rock-A-Thon, Pink Feet, mentoring club and the slew of community service and charity events run by students are all about.
