Latent Talent

One is hesitant to believe that in
a community of 10,000 scholars
there is not a great deal of latent
talent for problem-solving going
unnoticed. If that talent were to
make itself conspicuous much
could be done to mitigate the
possible crises we face. In
conjunction with specific talent,
overall leadership is needed. For
what we have now is a divided,
undirected, and uncommunicative
complex of organizations and
individuals calling for action.

The Cavalier Daily reiterates the
problems. The Student Council
launches a "Spring Offensive"
trying to get action from a paper
bureaucracy that can never seem to
be organized well enough to move
forward. The University President
issues statements, orders studies,
and waits for reports and reactions.
The State Legislature is busy in
Richmond, and makes its non-help
a reality every day.
