Submit letters through the Statesman website, comment on the articles published about campus issues, download the ASUSU and Statesman iPhone apps and attend ASUSU executive council meetings. The Statesman will initiate weekly polls on its website and around campus, searching for your opinions. My hope is that you invest a few minutes each day informing yourself on the decisions that are being made around you, and in many instances, for you. Be part of that decision process. If you decide to remain uninvolved quit whining when things don't go your way. I'd say it's about time you start caring, and I am positive every Statesman editor has attempted to convey this message in one way or another. I can only hope a few students' wandering eyes fall on this page while searching for the crossword puzzle. With the uncertain economy, unspeakable amount of national debt, the upcoming U.S. presidential primaries, our loved ones fighting wars overseas and a state legislature that puts education on the back burner, it's a pivotal time to use our First Amendment rights. Americans fought for years to ultimately attain the freedom of speech, and what a waste it would be if we did not take advantage of it. Catherine Meidell is the editor in chief of The Utah Statesman.

Inside ASUSU there are hundreds of ways to get involved and begin to get more from college. Each officer has a council that organizes all kinds of events; each college has a senator that focuses on the organizations in that individual college; and there is also a large number of clubs and organizations. By getting involved with these organizations, students begin to slowly move their resume from a giant pile of similar resumes, to a very small pile of resumes of students who have chosen to take initiative and get more from college. Opportunities to get more from college continue with tapping into USU's network of professionals, getting involved with undergraduate research, participating in campus recreation activities and so on. Even if a student does not have a leadership role, simply learning to communicate effectively with a variety of people can give an edge. As student officers we are here to serve you by doing our best to remove barriers that would keep you from getting more out of your college experience. This year we are going to do all we can to make that happen. Please let me know if there is anything you would like to see happen or see removed. We really do want your thoughts. Thank you, and "Go Aggies." Erik Mikkelsen is the ASUSU student body president. The ASUSU View runs every Monday. Comments can be sent to statesmaneditor@ aggiemail.usu.edu .
