It?s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. It is now officially spring and the robins have returned to their mating grounds while certain Cynic section editors anticipate the allergy season with dread. As temperatures slowly warm into the teens, SGA presidential elections have gotten under way. I am saddened by the absence of one name from the ballot: Frederick McFeely Rogers.The SGA needs Mr. Rogers now more than ever. The ?Mr. Roger?s Neighborhood? television show begins with a brief thanks to the program?s sponsors. The screen flashes to a miniature toy town. Brightly colored buildings line well-paved streets as the camera pans right.The cameraman zooms in on a yellow house; the theme song?s whimsical piano chimes. Cut to a waving Fred Rogers opening his front door and crossing a wooden threshold. Besides being a great neighbor, Fred is quite the multi-tasker: he sings the theme song while swapping his blazer and dress shoes for a cardigan and sneakers. This is a deeply symbolic act, though you would not know from how he calmly seats himself and begins the program.He tacitly rejects the corporate hegemonic structure that normalizes the wearing of blazer and loafers.The next SGA president will also have to reject the corporate norm. But like Rogers, also pay lip service to our sponsors.Young adults, too ambitious for their own good, have the unfortunate tendency of propping up ?The Man?s? regime.So it goes in the real world and on this campus. Whoever is elected SGA president cannot follow in this trend ? he or she must be prepared to stand against the actions of our administration. There is no denying that our community faces a crisis of confidence. Grumblings of discontent can be heard in all corridors. The SGA president-elect will be inheriting this campus-wide unease. Like Mr. Rogers, they must calmly cross the threshold, made not of wood, but of rank. The concerns of faculty and staff fall by the wayside while the University?s resources are at the beck-and-call of administrative will. This columnist cannot help but feel that some members of our community see student enrichment as secondary to a profitable institution. The SGA president-elect is tasked with channeling the student body?s frustration, while remaining even-keeled enough to advance agendas on our behalf. Rogerian Zen will be key. If only Mr. Rogers himself were able to give some members of our community a stern talking to. I imagine him frowning with dissatisfaction in his trademark red sweater.He would teach the importance of sharing ? University funds among all departments; and treating our neighbors fairly ? by affording them a livable wage.I sincerely hope the president-elect is up to the challenge.
