Seattle University's vice presi-dent for Student Developmenthasmovedfrom workingwithcollegestudents to teaching college stu-dentshow towork.

Dr. Jeremy Stringer, an eight-year veteran of student develop-ment,has resignedhis position totakeon thepositionofcoordinatorofthe master'sprogram instudentdevelopment.

As an instructor for SeattleUniversity's English departmentand withabachelor's andmaster'sdegreesinEnglishand a doctorateinhighereducation,Stringerknowsthe importance ofholdingontotheJesuitmission.

"Seattle University is at averycrucialpoint Ithasgone frombe-ingasmallplace towhere weneedsophistication,"he said. "Weneedtoholdonto the values that ithadwhen it was small."

Withthe BoardofTrustees' ap-proval last fall,the university sentword out for Stringer's positionacross the country.Ofthe 57appli-cants, only four wereinterviewed.Nonewereacceptable.ThisiswhenStringer wasapproached.

She said that Republicans aredetermined to abide by the newprimary. Bellettapointed out thatthis primary is so new, nobodyknows how well it will work. "Itcouldbe adisaster," she laughed,"but the cards aredealtnow andwehave tobebound by them."

She added that she wasn't wor-ried about Democrats voting forRepublican candidates. "There'sbeen alot of talkabout Democratscrossing over, but we don't reallythink that willhappen."

Insome waysthisprimary worksmuch better for the Republicansthanfor theDemocrats. Withonlytwomajorcandidates,Republicansare assuredofhaving a say in theirnominations.

For Democrats,the May 19pri-mary is virtually useless. Withmany candidates vying for del-egates,aprimary over twomonthsafter Super Tuesday doesn't pro-vide Democratic voters with theoptionsavailable in the caucuses.

What is a caucus? What is aprimary? What difference does itmake anyway?Theseare theques-tions floating throughpolitical con-versations across campus.

Washington state'snew primarysystemfornominatingpresidentialcandidates has spurredargumentsbetweenparties andleft the aver-age voter confused.

Caucuses are confusing in thebestof times. Traditionally, votersgatheratasetlocation withintheirprecincttodiscusspartycandidatesandissues. Aftersigningin,votersdeclare their party and the candi-date theysupport,ifany.

Thecaucus getsmore confusingindirect proportion to thenumberofcandidates running for thepartynomination.

Nextthecaucuseselectdelegates.The number of delegates electeddependsonthe sizeof theprecinct.Support for the candidates is an-nounced. Candidates withat least15percentofthe voteare entitledtoa share ofdelegates.

Those supporting a candidatewith less than IS percent maychange candidates or try to enticeothers to their candidate.

Finally,delegatesare chosenforthe countyconventions and legis-lative district caucuses. Eventu-

ally 80Democratsand35Republi-cans represent the state's votersatthenational conventions.

Caucusespromote discussionofpoliticalissuesandstrengthenpartyunity. Caucuses allow voters aforum tolearnpartyplatforms andideals. They keep the parties intouch with their members, andmembersin touchwitheachother.

The problem with the caucussystem, at leastpartially due toitsconfusingnature,islow voterturnout.

Democratic officials esti-matedaturnoutofabout100,000for the March caucus. Withover 2 millionvoters inWash-ington, therelatively low turn-outs have ignited caucus criti-cismfor years.

Caucuses are time-consum-ing,requiringafulleveningfromthe voter. Aprimary takes onlyfiveminutes at the ballot box.Primaries tend to draw out farmore votersthan caucuses.

The 1988 caucuses sent changeinto motion in Washington. PatRobertson'ssupporters floodedtheRepublican caucuses, and wonWashington the distinction of be-ing the only state to nominateRobertsonas the Republicancan-didate. Anoverwhelmingmajorityof Washington Republicans sup-ported GeorgeBush,but theydidnotmake it to theircaucuses.

added, "the Democrats should befindingnew ways to attract votersinorder to win."

Though Compton supports theopenprimary,she said thatshe feltcheatedby theMay19date. "Tim-ingiseverythinginafront-runningcampaign,especially for anon-in-cumbent Thatkindoflagcouldbedevastating," she said.

Monica Kinney,anSUpsychol-ogy major,participatedinher firstDemocratic caucus this year. Shesaid she thinks aprimary is morerepresentative thanacaucus.

Kinney went to her caucus as aJerry Brown supporter. Findingherself the only Brown supporterthere,Kinneydecided notto wasteher vote and switched to BillClinton. Kinneysaid she was sur-prised to find herself the onlyClinton supporter as well. Themajority of people at her caucusdeclared themselves"undeclared."Not wantinghervotetobe thrownaway for want of IS percent sup-port,Kinneyjoinedtheundeclaredmajority.

Thoughexcited to participate inthepoliticalprocess,Kinney foundthe caucus disturbing. "I found alot of the discussion ludicrous,"she said. Explaining that she isagainst a two party system as awhole, Kinney said she felt anindividual's vote would count formoreinaprimary. Thoughshewasselectedas analternative delegate,Kinney said, "I thought that thewhole thing waskindofhokey."

Untilstatisticscome infrom theMay primary, we won't know ifmore votersparticipated. Withthecontroversies surrounding thispri-mary,itmay notget the chance toprove itself.

Compton said she felt that hervote won't count. Kinney has notdecided ifshewill votein thepri-mary atall.

Insteadofproviding voterswiththeopportunity toselect their can-didates,Washington'sprimarycon-troversyhas turnedinto a partisanargument. Unable to agree on asystem for voterparticipation,itisnot the Democrat or Republicanparties that lose. In this no winargument,itis the voter thatloses.

Democratic Party rules requirevoters to "declare themselves"be-fore castingtheirvote. Theproce-dure establishedby Munro,basedon Washington's other elections,combines candidates for allpartieson oneballot. The voterssign theregister, take their ballots to theboothandchoose a candidate.

TheDemocrats want the ballotsseparatedbyparty.Thevoterwouldsign for the ballot of the party oftheir chosen candidate. A PaulTsongas supporter,either Demo-cratic or Republican, would signfor theDemocratic ballot. Voterswould not be required to requesttheballot of theparty they are reg-istered with.

Thismethodwouldprovidebothparties witha record of who wasvoting for which party. If eitherparty flooded the ballots of theother,theresultwouldberecordedfor all tosee.

Belletta didnotknowtheofficialRepublican stand on the Demo-crats' proposal, and was reluctantto voice apersonal opinion. Yetshe didexpresssupport for a de-clared system.

DeborahCompton,a journalismmajor atSeattleUniversity, thinksdifferently. A registered Demo-crat,she said that shedoesn't thinkwhoshevotesforis anybody'sbusi-ness and fears theparties want tocontrolelections.

walking around and breaking upparties. Ofcourse, theseresidentshave usually been at parties thatwere brokenup.

Oneresidentexpressedaconcernthat theofficersdonotseemfit,andsaid she would not trust them to"fightoffsomebody" who was at-tacking her, adding that she feltSafetyandSecurityshouldbemoreselective about whobecame offic-ers.

Just as many residents are satis-fied with the jobSafety andSecu-rity isdoing. SafetyandSecurity'sescort system is designed to helpmake the campus safer tobe onatnight. BycallingSafetyandSecu-rity, any person on campus canhave a security officer walk themacross the campus, or even pickthem up offcampus,in certain ar-eas,anddrive themback toador-mitory. Safety and Security re-ceives about ten calls a night toescortpeoplearoundcampus.Somesay that the demand for escorts istoohigh for SafetyandSecurity tohandle. The wait for anescortcanbeanywherefromfive tofortymin-utes, but there are only so manyofficers to goaround.

Whether you live oncampus ornot,SafetyandSecuritywants youtobeinformed of whatis goingonaroundyou.Ifyouare awareofjusthowbadtheneighborhoodsaroundthe campusare,youaremorelikelyto watch the area around you.Sletten saysthat thebestsecurityisthe community keepinganeye onitself. Itis onlywhen the commu-nitynotices astrangerin the area,that Safety and Security can dotheir jobs.

Anyonewhohas questionsaboutthe safety of their dorm roomsshould contact Safety and Secu-rity orResident Life. Anyone whowishes an escort should call thenon-emergencynumber forSafetyandSecurity.

SafetyandSecurity ismore thanjustescortsandbaby-sitters.

ManySeattleUniversitystudentsfeelthat SafetyandSecurityshouldbeefuptheir"security." What theydo not realize is that there is a"safety"section to thedepartment.

According to Mike Sletten,Manager of Safety and SecurityServices, Safety and Security of-ficers have four main purposes.Officers are on campus to maketheir "presence felt," watch SUproperty,respondtoany "incident"on campus, and respond to emer-gencies.

You may not see an officerwanderingaround campus,but theyare around. Sletten has devised asystem tomatch thenumber ofof-ficers, at any given time, to thedemand for their services. SeattleUniversityhas, whatSletten calls,"business hours."

Safety and Security schedulestheir officers, as well as then-strategies, based on the businesshours. Anaverage day, atSeattleUniversity,lasts from 5:30a.m. tomidnight.

Sletten said that Safetyand Se-curityisbasedonatrianglesystem.Thecommunity isoneof thesides.TheSUcommunity alertssecuritytoanyincidents,oremergenciesinthe area. To this affect, there arefire alarms andcampusphoneslo-cated around the campus. Slettenhas proposed putting emergencyphonesinareasaroundthecampus.Theseemergencyphones wouldbeoutside. Currently, all campusphonesareinsidebuildings. Slettensaid thecommunityofstudents andfaculty must advise Safety andSecurityofsituations,admittingthatthe officers cannotbeeverywhere.

The next side of the triangle isSafety and Security itself. Thereare anynumber ofofficers onduty

Safety and Security handles allincidents on campus, and Slettensays that, if the community willwork with SafetyandSecurity, thecampuswillbecomesaferandmoresecure.

Interviewswithresidentsbroughtupconcerns thatdormitoriesdonotfeelsafe. One resident,"Mcl,"feltthat therewerenotenoughofficersaround atnight. Mcl said she didnot feel she was safe and that,"ifIfelt secure,Iwouldn't beafraid togo to the bathroom at 3:00 in themorning."

Many residents feel the sameway.Oneofthe first thingslearned,while moving into the dorms, ishow to Van-Dine a door. Vali-Diningdoorsistakingacard(Vali-Dines work the best, hence thename)andopeningalocked door.Although thisis discouraged,it iscommon-place.Ifaresidentis tryingtogetintoa

locked room,theymay try jigglingadoor,whichhasbeenlocked fromthe inside,and this willsometimesopen it. Some keysalso work onmorethanone door.Thisisnotthenorm, though, so don't try yourkeysinall the doors onyour floor.

Althoughmany residentsknowhow to open the locked doors, inthedorms, Slettenhadnotrealizedthat it was so widely known. Thenewerdoorlocksaremoreresistanttothemethodsmentionedhere,butthereare other methods.

Over winter break, 10th floorCampion residents were the vic-tims ofaphonescandal. Membersofapartybrokeintovariousroomsandmade longdistancephonecalls.All the phone calls were to thesamearea,andallweremadewhilethe residents were on vacation.Horror stories like this makeresi-dents very uneasy and angry thatSafetyandSecurity wasunable tostopit.

Some residents feel that the of-ficersarejustglorifiedbaby-sitters,

atany timeoftheday. Thenumberof officers fluctuates with the"dispositionof the campus." Theshiftsarebrokenintothreegroups,the graveyard, the day and theeveningshifts. Eachshiftisadaptedto meet that disposition. Thegraveyard shift is to oversee theopeningandshutdownof theuni-versity. Graveyardshifters are theofficers you see walking aroundthe dorms at 2:00 a.m. The dayshift officershandle thebulkof theincidentsandemergencies,becausethatiswhenthemostpeopleareoncampus. Finally, theeveningshiftwatches over thenight classes andclubs,aswellasoverseeingmostofthe resident's arrivals back in thedorms.

Officersarenotjustpeopletakenoff the street. Thereare full-timeofficers, who either have formaltrainingor experiencein the secu-rity area. Thereare alsopart-timeofficers,who aremainly students.All officers attendmonthly train-ingsessions,wheretheylearnany-thing from CPR to how to appre-hendsuspects. Thereare alsomockscenarios and self-defense train-ing. The Seattle Police help trainthe Safety and Security officersduringthese monthly sessions.

Theofficers themselvessay that,when fully staffed,SafetyandSe-curity does an excellent job, butthere is time-consuming paper-work theymustdo,andallofficersmustbechecked outandapproved.There is a high turn-over rate forofficers. Recently,therehavebeenmanychangesinpersonnel. Someofficers are off duty because ofmedical reasons,andnew officersare comingin. Thereiscurrentlyafull staff onduty.

Afullstaffofofficers,duringthenight,includes officersassignedtoCampion,Bellarmine and Xavier.Theseofficerspatrol the dormsandcheck thesafetyequipment. Whenyouseeanofficer walkingonyour

floor, theyare usually justcheck-ing fire extinguishers. Along withthe dormitory officers, there arerotating officers that patrol thegrounds and are in the dispatch.These officers switch off, at dis-patch, and are the ones you seewanderingcampus grounds.

Thedispatcheristhe officer thatkeeps Safety and Security linkedtogether. When an emergencyarises, theofficer calls into the dis-patcher, and the dispatcher getspermission from the supervisor onduty tocalleither thehospital,po-liceorfire department. Thisentireprocess takesonlyabout aminute.

Duringspecialevents,suchas adance in Campion Ballroom or asporting event at Connolly, extraofficersare ondutyandassignedtothese events.

Themajority ofincidents the of-ficers are called about are notlifeand death situations.Theyinclude"autoprowls,"whereasuspectmayormay notbebreakinginto acar.

ThelastsideofSletten's triangleis the medical,policeand fire de-partments in the area. When anincidentisreportedbyaSafetyandSecurityofficer,theproperdepart-ment is informed. When the firealarms go off, the officers are onthe scene todiscover whatisgoingonassess theseverityofthe situa-tion. The officers inform the dis-patcher, whoinforms the fire de-partment Inthis way, the fire de-partmentknows everythingaboutwhatishappening,evenbefore theyreach the campus. This saves thetimeit wouldtake the fire fightersto get to the scene, investigate toseeif thereisanactual fire,andsetup their equipment. With the firefighters being constantly updatedby theSafetyandSecurity officerswhile enroutetothe campus, theywillknow what todo before theygethere. Thesameprocessisused,whendealingwithambulancesandpoliceofficers.

The jury's conclusion mirroredthe Jim Crow south prior to the60s. America 1992. We're spin-ning aimlessly into the future.

Finally, light wasshedonpolicebrutality. The entire nation andworldsaw how a badgeandaguncould authorizebarbarity. But thistime, these fourofficers wouldun-questionablybepunishedfor theirNeanderthalbehavior.

Or soit seemed.Contrary to what was fair, cor-

rect andcoincidental with the le-gality of the matter, the tenwhite,one Hispanic, one Asian jury ac-quittedthe four whiteofficers.Withno remorse, their decision ignitedthe Los Angelesskyline.

Itwas only a matter of finding theright combinationofeventstolightthe fuse that extends all the wayback to theReagan years.

WhetherornottheGulfWarwasjustifiedisstillundecided.Butwhydoes our government ignore thepeoplein our ghettos? Ifonlyourgovernment could put the sameamountofmoney andeffort inar-eas like South-Central L.A., thenour nation could collectively getback onits feet.

Despite the violent and bitteroutcome,maybe this trialcanbeofinstrumental value toour country.RemembertheRodneyKingtrial

Also, there were about 20 copspresentwhenthebeatingtookplace.The defense portrayed King as a"difficult suspect," i.e.largeinsize,dark in shade of skin. No matterhow "difficult" a suspect is, itdoesn't require 56blows to hand-cuff an unarmed person and puthimin theback of a squadcar.

The flaw in this is thatthereisnoprice that canbeplacedon justice,but our systemdoesn'tsee it that way.

Thefactthat thejuryconsistedof10 whitesis also a travesty.It isunintelligible toinfer that the jurywould have found four African-Americanofficers notguiltyof in-flicting the same great bodily in-juryon aCaucasianmotorist.

CAMPUSCOMMENT

Ithas beentwo weekssince theRodney King verdict. What are your feelings nowon this issue?

WhenIheard that GeorgeWill, the troubadour ofconservative America,is

pushing for a halt to funding forpublic television,Inearlypanicked.It wasas ifsomeone toldme thatthey're going to take somethingverydear to me away.

ButIseehispoint: Our govern-mentneeds to takealong,difficultlookatitselfandmake sometough,and possibly disappointing, deci-sions. Our countryisriddled withtoomuchdebt toomanypoor, toomuch alienation and crime, toomanyenvironmentalstinks,andwescholars are highbrowing about"alternative perspectives" on theidiotbox.

However,thereisonegiantholein thatargument: PBSisone of theonly non-"idiot-box" aspects oftelevision.

Tosteal a phrase from MTV,Iwant myBillMovers! IwantmyMacNeilLehrerNews! Iwantmydaily WWIIdocumentaries!IwantmyBritishmysteries(okay,Isup-poseIcoulddowithout those).Thefunny thing is, MTV isn't evenmine.ButandI'mspeakingforallfaceless members of thepublic outthere,public televisionis mine.Iheard John Sununu, on

Crossfire,saying thatpeople whosupport public television are abunch of intellectuals who thinktheyknow what'sbest for regularpeople. What's that supposed tomean? Is Sununuclaiming to bea"regularguy?"Public televisionisnot a way to condescend to thepublic. Ifanything, itputs faithinthe public, avoiding the attention-span-shortening gimmicks we seeon thenetworks.If conservatives really want to

get rid of public television theyshould be willingto bargain. Wecouldgive public television up inexchangefor some thoroughregu-lationson whitecollar looters,whoare asequallybadPR for bigbusi-nessas streetlootersare forminori-ties and the poor.

ButIamnot willing to justgiveitup for nothing.Public televisionis too socially redeeming. Howmanymothers thankthestarsaboveforSesameStreet andA/r.Rogers?Possibly theonlyquite timein thehouseis whenthose shows air.

Andpublic televisiondoesmorethan just teach youngsters the al-phabet. It teaches adults aboutthings in an in-depth way that israreon the networks.

Recently,Isaw ashow on PBShostedbyPhilDonahue (who,whenonPBS,doesn'thave todo showsonincestousmothers whoare jeal-ous oftheir sons'love for theirpethamsters).Theshowhadaseriesofexperts whospokeonbehalfof thevarious types ofhealth-care plansthatarebeingdebated rightnowinAmerica.It was the mostcompre-hensive explanation, offering thelargest amountofperspective,I'veseen ontelevision todate. Andno,it didn't just give the liberal per-spective.However the health-careplan that received overwhelmingsupportamongtheaudience,wasn't

the collage of vouchers proposedby Bushinhis State of the Unionaddress.

Right now,public television isasking for another 1.1 billiondol-larsin funding over the next threeyears. Whatdoesthismean? Morespending, of course. But it alsomeansmore grants toprovide realeducational programming forpeoplewhodon't oftenreadscien-tific journals about apes thatspeakwith their hands

—Don't tell me

that'snotgreatstuff.Public television is often criti-

cized for beingliberal. Indeed,ifour government is conservative,publicTVhasprovenitiscertainlynopropagandamachine.However,it's toosimplistic tosay thatpublictelevisionis liberal. Conservativecommentators are also on PBS.Surely,critics don't thinkMaster-piece Theater andSesame Streetarepolitical devices.Iftheydo,mymostarticulate and well-reasonedresponsetothemis"bahhumbug!"

Themostcommon argument insupport of saving,and/or increas-ingfunding for public televisionisthat, because it is not driven bymarket demands, there isno needto"sellout"orcompromisequalityfor good ratings. That sounds soelitistI'malmostashamed tosayit.It suggests that most Americanswouldrather watchHardCopyorA CurrentAffair thansit throughaNational Geographic special oraquaintepisodeof ThisOldHouse.Ofcourse we all know that's nottrue

—isit?

It is a fallacy to assume thatbecausepublic televisionhastakenon the label of "quality program-ming," there is no "quality pro-gramming" onother channels.TheDiscovery channel and the ArtsandEntertainmentchannel are twoterrific examples.However, thosechannels costmoney. What aboutpeople without cable? Iknow,people pay for public televisionthrough the taxdollar.Butthe costisn't nearly as high. Also,peopleseem to forget that many of thedocumentaries thataironcablehavebeen bought from public televi-sion. Without public televisionthosechannels wouldloseasourceof educationalprogramming.

Many wouldargue thatifpublictelevision were taken off the air,thepersonalities and formats thatreally are good would beginpop-pingup on networkprogrammingin one form or another. But that'sjustit

—oneformoranother.Those

forms being the kind that we arehopingtoescapewhentuningintoPBS.

or dropping a meeting duringex-tremely stressful times. Nonpro-ductivecommittee work took pre-cedence over work, fatigue,abadcoldor our G.P.A.'s.

Teaching leadership should in-clude teaching students when tosay, "no". Mostof uslearnedhowto decline busywork when webe-came overloaded with "delegatedresponsibility" that professionalswerebeingpaid toperform.

Therehasbeenaserious lack ofsupport for SUstudents whoareinleadershiproles,anoveralldiscrep-ancy between official policy andimplementation of those policies.One example are the ResidenceHalls.R.A.sreceivelittlesupportin disciplinary matters. This yearanR.A. wroteupaviolationwhichwasnotenforceduntilsevenmonthshad passed from the time of theincident Students whoarekickedoutof thehalls for their behaviorare allowed toreturnthenextyear.Last year during Sleeping BagWeekend, two freshmen threw alargedrinking party,much to thedelightof thehighschoolvisitors.Theywere tobeexpelledfromSU,butnever were. Somuch forcon-sistency.

Cohabitation policy is a joke.Some R.A.s cohabitate, so howcantheyenforce arule theyflaunt?Despite the thousands of hoursR.A.'sspendattheirjobseachyearthey are compensated about sixcentsan hour. Most R.A.s havesecondjobs.SUcompensatesthemwith peanuts, but doesn't supportthemin doing their job.

Whentheproposed floorchangescame outmany students wereup-set Due to protests, some pro-posedchangesweredropped.Whyweren't thepotentiallyaffectedstu-dents asked their opinions whenthe original deliberations tookplace? This sort of preemptivedecisionmaking,makes alieoutofall the things we have been toldabout the supposed value of stu-dent input.

Pathways students are not theonly ones who see things sadlyamissin the administrationof Stu-dentDevelopment,andin thegen-eral student support services notunder theumbrella ofStudent De-velopment. Therehavebeen threedirectorsoftheCampusAssistanceCenterinthepast twoyears. Safetyand Security have a less than SOpercent success rate in retainingtrainedemployees. ISC currentlyhas one employee that has beenworking with them consistentlysince 1990. Many of the originalmentors ofPathwaysPioneers areno longer at SU. It is time to askwhySUhassuchahighrateofstaffturnover. Why do many peoplechoose to move onafter a yearortwo? Whydon'ttheywant toworkhere?

After four years ofobservationand participation invarious areasoftheStudent DevelopmentDivi-sion,we haveconcluded some ar-easneed more administrative andfinancial support. CampusMinis-try,theInternationalStudent Cen-ter and Minority Student Affairsnot only need better funding, butneed better communication be-tweenthemandtheupperadminis-tration. They needspace to grow

ThePathwaysPioneers

The originalPathways Pioneersaregraduating. Asweleave SeattleUniversity,we are angry,hurtandbitter. When weentered thePath-ways program as wide-eyed andeager freshman, we were told ourideas were valuedandlistened to.We were told our ideas would betranslated into action in this newprogram pledged to the develop-ment of the whole person. Weshould speak up because wecounted as valuable members ofthis learning centered institution.

Four years later we have notfound these things to be true. Infact,wefeelusedanddisillusioned.Our perspectives werenotvalued,andour ideas were ignoredby theadministration of Student Devel-opment. Many times we foundourselves patronized and and ig-noredindiscussing the formationofPathways policy with theupperadministration of Student Devel-opmentbecause we were justun-dergraduate students. We soonlearned thatif wedidn'thaveourPh.Dourinsights were considereduseless.

Once a group of administratorsandPioneers spenteighthoursinaprivatehome developinganinter-locking progression of program-ming for Pathways. We plottedhow each year a student in Path-ways wouldbeintroduced to newideas and activities outsideofandwithinSU. Ourplan gave guide-lines,but allowed for individualand collective innovation andgrowth. Atthe timeourideas werehailed with great enthusiasm, wewere patted on the head and toldhow terrificourplans were. Thenthe administration ignored, andthrew out all ofour ideas. Whenthe administration's alternate pro-gramming failed, the blame wasplacedonus. After thisblame wasshifted to our shoulders the pro-gram suffered from neglect. Inef-fective leadership toyedwithflowchartsofpaperandsomehowneverconsidered what concrete actioncouldbetakentorevitalizethepro-gram. The Student Developmentadministration seemed unable tomakethejumpfromtheorytoprac-ticalreality.

Pioneerssoonlearnedtheirrolesintheprogramhadbeenreduced tothat of the "token student" in avarietyofcommitteesspanningthespectrum of the Student Develop-mentDivision.Fromprogrammingto hiring,building toredesigning,we sat in endless committees thatseldomaccomplishedmuchofany-thing. The predominant attitudeseemedtobe, "Childrenshouldbeseen andnotheard."

Althoughourcontributionswereignored, wedidlearnanew word.Itwas "delegating." The StudentDevelopment administrationwerewonderful atdelegatingtheir tasksand responsibilities to Pathwaysstudents. They rarely got muchconcretedone,but weran aroundimplementing their ideas,not ourown.

Despiteahypocriticalemphasison developing the whole person,mentally, physically, emotionallyetc...these"delegatedresponsibili-ties" were often consideredmoreimportant thanimpendingexams,takingcareofourselvesphysically,

When Reed strummedthe opening riff of the song heswore he'd never playagain, thecrowd'senthusiasmreached anewhigh. With Scott singing back upvocals,Reedrockedthehousewith"Walk on the Wild Side."
