By Matthew J. ClarkAt a most-recent Mer-cyhurst event, a notablemember of the M ercyhurstcommunity spoke on therole of a college in today'ssociety. Many good pointswere made, especially re-garding the intrigue oftoday's youth. ?Today's youth, accord-ing to< the speaker, havelost interest mtthc world'around them. The speakerwent on to say that th e roleof our educational institu-tions is to reinstate "theintrigue? of a three-year-old" in today's 18-22 year-

olds. The rationale for thisargument was that a three-

year-old has a tremendousinterest in everything sur-rounding him or her andthat college students havelost that interest.College-aged men andwomen are not interestedin the world around them,so much as they are inter-ested in themselves, ac-cording to the speaker. Iagree, to an extent. It isapparent that our societyis more "selfish" todaythan in the past. However,in this person's speech, thereason given for the lackof interest in world af-fairs and the degradationof the human mind wa smusic.Music?The speaker arguedthat the simplicity of themusic, "no melody, justbeat" has led to the sim-plistic, think ing of today'scollege students. I have aproblem with this. Howcan one take an issue socomplex as the changingvalues of a society, and thethoughts that now occupythe minds of college stu-dents and reduce it to mu-sic?

There's a reason whymusic has changed. Musichasf changed to fit thechanging human mind,not vice-versa. Today'syouth are more^f rustratedthan ever. The increasedpressure to do well, alongwith the increase in com-petition in business, haveled to this frustration. T hemusic of today deals withthat frustration head-on.Today's, music |is re-duced to raw energy andemotion. In, my opinion, itis only this rawness thatcan act as a release formany of the frustrationsfacing America's youthtoday. Today's music is apressure valve, a release.Listeners can release theirpent up emotions via theemotional music. One wayof dealing with a problemis to listertuto someone elsewith simitar problems andmany of the messages intoday's music offer thistype of outlet.Many of today's songsdeal with frustratingthemes, and by listening tothese songs, the listener iscomforted by the realitythat he or she is not alone;that others are havingproblems, too. I guess I justdon't buy the argument.I don't think anyone inthe audience was ready toingest the speaker 'swords, myself included.As one member of theaudience put it: "I keptwaiting for the punch lineand it never came."
