tween various college structures. He pro­
posed the formation of a commission
induding students, stall and faculty, to
address the issues raised by the ASLC
last week and find solutions before the
end of the calendar yeM or early next and a chairperson.
The council had onginally ~quested
a negotiating group with only two stu•
dents, twosta!f members and n chairper•
son. She suggested that council advisor
Evan Williams serve a.s chairperson,
since he already has roles 1n the admin­
istration and faculty but isn't the duect
boss of any o! the po1ential comm1ss1on
members. gn111psfmally d<>cided what system they
would US(' to dli«:uss student sover­

Collt.'gc president Michael Mooney
wrote a letter to council negotiators
Nathan Hobb~ and Shelby Uritz at the
beginning of the week in response to the
ASLC's threatened stnke. H'e said ex­
p,~ conc,,m that ,tudents felt they
were not represented on campu,, and
wanted to eliminate the problems raised semet.tcr.
Mooney ask,'C! Dean of the College
Jane Atkinson lo handle the details of
setting up the COtmJUSSion, and she came
to the student counctl meeting on Tues­
day with a proposal for a comnus,,,on
induding four students, two admin,stra­

thought faculty members needed to be

Mooney and Atkinson's proposal was a
return to n committee-style approach
and wouldn't produce results quicl<ly

It's ruce to be read, ,r not apprecl·
ated. That's the se.nlunent we gol
reading last week's letters, espectally
th<' letter from the four Resident Di­
rectors. It Sl>emS they were a bit con•
fused as to the general premise of our
Editorial piece, so let's clarify a fow
th1ngi;.
First, the piece wnsn'l meant a.s an
attack on anyone. V& didn't mean to
unply that any current RO is com,pl
or out to get anybody. We m~rely
meant to point out that centralized
power, devoid oJ chllCks and balances,
poses a danger to Justice. It raises the
pos!,ibility Lhnt, in the future, one per·
son might abuS<! their rcsponsibillty
and position of power as an RD. With­
out the scrutiny of a broader spectrum
of opinion, power can be abused. We
merely meant to point that out as a
warning, not as an accusation.
Second, a reformed Peer Review
Board-which Nathan Hobbs ha~
worked long and hard to implement­
would avoid any of the problems that
reportedly caused administration of­
ficials lo "lose faith" in th1S system. To
throw the baby out with the bathwater,
while It might please some. alienates
and undermines the confidence of the
majority of this campus. Needless to
say, this action would be redundant
and sho.rtsighted.
Third, lhe Resident Directors
wrote that they were concerned
"words such as 'jury',
'judge1 /executioner', and
'punishes'be1ray the educauonal goal
of the judicial process and risk evok­
ing images of the civil justice system
which differs in distinct ways from the
process US(.,d here atthecollege." We
agree that the system differs: The pro-communities.
Both during the open forum and the
lecture. the issue of what we can do to­
day was continuously discussed Dr.
Wesl reviewed the "Four Pillar.." neetled
in today's society toovercomesuffer:iJ'lg
and discrimination: thelirsl, to ma.inblin
a sense of 1nv,s1ble. "Black suffering IS often ren­
dered mv1sible," he said, "and 11 is h,ud
enough to keep tr.ick of mdiv1duality
and hum,,nity without the media and
others viewing people only as one
gwup."
Dr. West feels that It is pOSS1'ble that

"IL is up to each o.nd every Otiil, 1

because I'm going down lighting.' c:· working, creating, and living together;
the third, courage, which was said to be
of the most importance; and finally, a
deep, abiding sense of hope. West said
this was something that the Million Man
Man:h helped 10 accomplish by gener­
ating hope and a sense of emotion and
movement wilhin America.
Another issue passionately focused
upon by Or. West was the Issue of being
cess at the college does differ, but in
rather dllllurbing ways. II does not
have an appeals process we can have
eonfidence in· we appeal to one per­
son al thts college. It d,oes not have a
democratic means of deciding cases,
but an autocratic means. In the civil
justice system, a jury of one's peers
hears cases and appeals. This is inff­
nltelv moni democratic.
AddJUon,llly, the language com­
plamb ,~ find inlere>ting, p<)rhaps
the word, "jury" "judgl.'" and "execu­
tioner" are more evocative thm we
mtended, but would synon)'ID!. have
~ acceptable if the meaning behind
the word> remained unchanged? Our
objections are still valid; If one person
decides the fate of another. what rue
they doing if not performing the role
we described? •
Fourth, Peer Review Board, eYen
if Oawcd, still provides a divenity of
opinion and voice which the RD sys•
tem doesn't. It avoids the pitfalls of a
centmllzed system.
Incidentally, we aren't denying
thal Resident Directors are capable of
being fair and performing a vilal role
on this campus. Laura Zinniker's ac­
tions in the case described in this is­
sue a.re certainly appropriate for that
case, and we congratulate her on a JOb
well done. But this shouldn't distract
us from the fact that the system is.still
in need of drastic change It shouldn't
distract us from the fact that the role
that has been crealed puts too much
power in the hands of one person, .:md
that m the fuh1re, someone could
abuse that po,ver. O,ecks and bal­
ances nre needed. race and
will possibly facilitate dialogue within
African-American commllnities and oth­
ers. West believes lhal Louis Farrakhan
has come to prominence because he
speaks to African-American suffering in
a society where African-American suf­
fering is invisible. Farrakhan and the
March forced Americans to once again
talk about the suffering and issues of

dude Campus Safely Offioer...N (p 168)
Many students are opposed to
feeling that 1l is on invasion of
1•acy, I felt the only way to discover
h rtal truth would be to experience drank six-packs of root beer in glass
bottles. The stereo was cranked up, and
we clanked the bottles together as loudly
as we could. We had several people call
in and complain to Campus Safety about
the noise we were making. and about the
smell. I hid a video camera in a backpack,
pointed it towards the inside of the door,
and waited for Campus Safety lo arrive.
Campus Safety knocked, they didn't
kick the door off it's hinges. They asked
to talk to the owner of the room, and we SO seconds befon: coming into the room.
They went strictly by the book. Any ru­
mo.rs about Campus Safety beU'lg unrea­
sonable power abusers aren't true. Ev­
eryone that was in the room that night
knows that now. The truth is that Cam­
pus Safety is not bad at all; they took ab­
solutely 110 pleasure in keying into the
room, and were very friendly and po­
llte.
Even though we weren't dnnkmg or
smoking, we were later infonned that we

had violated three school codes.
1. Directives: not complying with
Campus Safety's request that we open
our door.
2. False report making calls toCam­
pu.s Safety regardiI\g the smell and the nou;e.
3. Disruption: disrupting 'normal'
activities within a campus building,spe­
dfically filming without consent.
The three Code of Conduct viola•
tlons are valid, I suppose, they're in the
Pall,ji11der pages 127-132 If you want lo
look them up. We couldn't let Campus
Safety into the room without ruining the
whole expe.riment. As for the false re­
ports, we called because we didn't want
to be blaring music and stinking up the
halls all night, just hoping that the offic­
ers would walk by, Filming without con­
sent, I can see how that's disrespectful
to those people being filmed. J realoze I
broke sorne serious rules, and if that
could have been avoided, ii would have,
but I'm glad I disrupted the nonnal ac­
ti.vilies on campus. I just think that in col­
lege, we start to get a UtUe loo comfort­
able. We complain about authority, but
don't test or discover itoursclves. Many
students are perfectly content to sit back
and np on Campus Safety, but none of
them bother to find out that they don't
barge into rooms; they're just doing their
Jobs. I don't think what we d,d that night
in Copeland was really out of the ordi­
nary, but we faced a more serious pun­
ishment than If we actually /tad been

women, lhe runners are
Freshmen sensation Marisa
Quann, Junior 8,ook
Pastorino, and Freshmen
Michelle Bond. Cornett, Anderson,
Hunter and Quinn have been
the team standouts this year.
They have timed and placed
well in many ol lhis se.isol\b

had a tough year, but 1ve've
been ruMing faster and fa.~ter
