“The kids on the S.A. are hardworking and mean well, but the fact is that most Cornellians just don’t pay attention. When they do, they see the S.A. as a cage match’s worth of backbiting, infighting, self-aggrandizing Tracy Flicks.”
So wrote my friend and colleague Dave Wittenberg ’09 in his column “The End of the Student Assembly” (Oct. 24, 2007), anyway.
Why do I bring it up? Because this hardworking, well-meaning kid thinks that it’s high time he told his side of the story — and, yes, Dear Reader, you heard me right.
When yours truly is not visiting with you here in the realm of the Fourth Estate, I can most often be found doing the same with those representatives on — and those of y’all represented by — Cornell’s very own version of the Estates-General.
