\"\"<\/a>So, apparently there was an email war during break.<\/p>\n

I know I should be informed about this, since it was sent to everyone with a Wabash e-mail, but I didn\u2019t see this. I check my emails regularly, but this email war just didn\u2019t catch my eye (and that\u2019s probably not exclusive to me; it didn\u2019t seem incredibly long, like the last email war). So I got to thinking; what\u2019s so different about this one that no one really wanted to get involved?<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s break; no one really cares.<\/p>\n

Before this comes off as overly cynical, allow me to explain; as I have said before, we go on break so we can spend some time relaxing and recuperating from the previous semester. As such, we begin to detach ourselves from the going ons of Wabash. I assume most of us would rather be spending time with friends and family rather than argue over things. This is supposed to be a happy time of year, not a time of bickering and arguing (refrain from making comments about the government). Now, the last email war was at a time where everyone was on campus, and being so close to Monon Week it had the best chance of getting noticed. This one didn\u2019t have such luck, and I\u2019m happy for that.<\/p>\n

Also, while I check my emails regularly, I\u2019m certain that there are those Wabash men who don\u2019t possess such diligence, especially during breaks. This does have to do with the above, as we are more interested in family than school, and thus would be a bit distracted and too lazy to check our emails. This is all in theory, of course, as I am only one person and therefore not a good representation of the actions and beliefs of the campus as a whole (again, refrain from making comments about government, or how Wabash is run).<\/p>\n

Perhaps there is a way that we can connect better with one another over breaks. I don\u2019t know what it is, but I\u2019m sure someone will find it eventually.
