| Cowards Loving Authority |
CLA’s go against everything college stands for. Independence, and the responsibility that comes with it, means nothing when there are people looking over your shoulder trying to enforce rules. There is no leniency and no reason when it comes to the enforcement of rules. Hell, my parents learned to be less strict than the CLA’s I’ve encountered. That’s because they knew that I was responsible enough to make my own decisions.
The worst thing about it is that the people trying to enforce these strict rules on the students are students themselves. Some of them are even younger than me. The question always comes up in my head, why would anyone want to be a CLA? I mean sure, the financial benefits are pretty helpful, but are students so quick to sell out their peers just to ease the cost of their living? Are CLA’s a certain type of people? Do they hold animosity towards the people they write up?
What would happen if all the students at Lewis & Clark rejected the idea of CLA’s? Authority only works if it’s respected, and I honestly see no reason to respect the authority of CLA’s. If everyone stood up for themselves then we would be unstoppable. I’m not asking for a bloody revolution, I just want the school to reconsider the CLA idea and how strict they are. At the end of the day, we are all college students going through a time of realization and experimentation. Let us be.
