out the knowledge of all of the organiz­

Aq;ording to Local Music Showc:.,se

any issues were djs­
cussed at the Dec:em­
ber 5th ASLC meeting,
&om new procedures for cours;:
evaluation to constltutlonill
streamlining. Over the course
of two-some huurs, members of
ASI..C took to discussing those
issues.
New procedures are being
used for course evaluation, VP
of SAAB Shelby Uritz pointed
this out and noted that Dean of
the CoUcge Jane Atkinson
wanted to see the impact this
would have on the student
body. The new cow:se evalua•
ttons are Scantron, a break from
years past. This is significant
because when a professor ap­
plies for tenure, all seven years
of the course evaluation$ are
brought into the equation
Andrea Williams, student
representative, wanted to know
why the question about how
long the professor spent in cla55
each week was stricken from
the new shet.!ts. Uritz re•
sponded that many dasses
meet at irregulnr lim<>S. Uritx
.abo pointed OUI that st11den1S
could still bring ii up under
"general comments" if their
professor was bailing out of
.-JasS'?Scarly.
Uritz also brought up the
issue of Supplemental Instruc­
tion. a program al the Unover­
stly of Kansas City which Dean
Dennis Madsen has apparently
thought about consid.ering for
Lewis&Oa.<k. In the program,
a senior studying in a certain
program comes In and gives
Instruction on study skills to
other students.
Uritz noted that the top
three choices for commence­
ment speakers to this point are
Alice Walker, Maya Angelou,
and Madeleine Albright.
Student Representative
Matt Cooper pointed out that
the long-sought•after tampon
machines are here. information
on unit cost was unavailable.
ASLC President Cory Curtis
urged students to Huse them,
and think of Matt wrule you
do.•
Hac:h ASLC member has
been il.Sked to review her or his
job description tn the conslttu•
lion as part or the process of re­
vising the constitution, Student
Representative Sarah Strafford
suggested that the way the con•
stilution is wn1ten right now
makes it problematic: lo have
three student representative~.
Strafford said that it would be
wise to either set up more spe­
cific guklelines for what tasks
eachstudentrepresentativelsto
pe.rfocm or to have only two
student representatives.
Kevia Jeffery, vp of infor­
mation and programming, said
lhat she had spent three hours
evaluating the position she
holds with Ruth Turner. She
said that the responsibilities of the position "need definite re­
structuring,• and she would
"not have many objections to
the elimination of the position.•
Later in the meeting, Tracy
Rodda was to propose certain
legislation which thought along
similar lines.
Communication Board
Chair Lori McCorkle noted that
there had been no Comm Board
meeting the previous week. She
also reported that she had spo­
ken to Dean of Students
Michael ford about formulat­
ing an editorial policy regard­
ing Uability, libel, slander, and
the eitnons of responsible jour­
nal.Ism.
Brandon Z'\k.'\hi mentioned
that he had eaten too much
food. Then VP of Budget and
Finance Za.kahi mentioned that,
when going over his job de•
scription In the const:ltutiot'I, he
had noticed certain c9ntradic­
tory provisions.

working on a new budget tem­
plate which will make it •easier
for student groups, and all of
us, really.• She and Zakah.i will
meet with Walker next semes­
ter to work on budget issues.
Bocanegra also [eported that
she had met with Dean of Stu•
denlS Michael Forti about pul•
ting the Pathfinder on the
World Wide Web. In conjunc­
tion with B & F, Bocanegra also
said that she had set a maxi­
mum limit for non-chartered
groups, meaning that non-<har­
tered groups have to apply for
things Item by item, with a
mBJ<imum of two items al a
time.
ASLC Web Page
Cory Curtis brought up the
ongoing quest for an ASLC
home page on the Wcl,. Rodda
pointed out that ASLC needed
an e-mail account first.
8oc:ancgra suggested that per­
haps they could use Dean of
Students Michael Ford's ac­
count in the intenm. I would work those hours. Turn\:]' men­
tioned that students could still
get Into Templeton with an ID
card presented to Campus
Safety.
Opposition was rampant.
Sarah Strafford obj~ted, saying
that most students whose local
soda machines have run dry
come 10 the Dubach Dining

Tracy Rodda mentioned that
Campus Safety has been stand­
offish lo students who need as­
sistance getting in buildings af.
ter hours in the past. Andrea
Williams suggested that coming
up to Templeton all the. time to
let people who need in inside
would distract them from their
other duties such as patrolling
lower campus. Williams sug•
gested the .root of the problems
wasn't 24-hour access, noting
that Bodine doesn't have 24-
hour a«ess, yet has many of the
same problems, including van­
dalism and theft.
Strafford further suggested
that en•

point, Student Representative
Lauren Bocanegra brought up
that the bylaws say one repre­
senta live should be chosen
from each residence hall, but
that hasn't been enforced be­
cause hall councils haven't been
Conned early enough to know
the responstl>llity exists.
Uritz asked why B & F
wasn't picking one member
from each dorm. Zakahi said
there would be problems with
people showing up il this hap­
pened, because "people need to
want lo do this-that is an es­
sential part of the position.•
Bocanegra suggested that
the VP of B & F should be in­
volved with New Student Ori­
entation. She expressed that the
regulations in place prevent
board-staclung, and that U1osc
regulations just need lo be fol.
lowed.
Tracy Rodda said she had
b<'en working on Jette rs to
chairs of constitutionnUy recog•
nlud committees, to encourage
those committees to send in
copies of their agendas that they
had been working on.
"Nobody'$ ever kept tabs on
these organozalions before,•
Rodda said.
Bocanegra then spoke, say•
ing thalhercornmissionisover•

will hold meetings al the begin·
ning of the semester to see who
is going to stick around. She
also tallied about her meeting
with Kathy Walker of dub havc offered mine, but thought
ASLC m1ght be offended by the
naked photographs of Erik
Estrada on my Web page.
Rodda said that she was ready
to set up the page, "Just give
us the account and the pass­
won:I and •we'll roll with it.''
Curtis also spoke about the
1'empleton Advisory Group
meeting th.at day, discu$sing the
decor poUcy. Curtis mentioned
that certaJn admutlstrators had
tmbued him with a sense of ur­
gency, and that if no action was
taken, a hatdline stance might
be taken on the decor Issue.
Curtis also mentioned the po­
tential establishment of a
Templeton Governing Body
made up of staff and stud.ents
to deal with issues like a student
art mural specifically and decor
in general.

Ruth Turner then gave a
special statement to ASLC
about the revokal of the 24-hour

tioned such events as a wall
being kicked in near ihe
Pio1uier Log office, the gumbaJI
machine bcing stolen rmm Bon

rationale why Campus Safety
has temporarily resdndcd the

Thursday, Templeton has been
closed from the hows of l2 AM

Turner mentioned the po­
tential or staffing Templeton 24
hours, such as having someone
at the lnfoDe.~k at all times,
though Turner doubted stu•
dents would really want to h a v e
broken
card slots, which allow anyone
who wants in aett!,S at any tim.e
of the day or night. Strafford
also mentioned that the 72-hour
Film-Fest, put on annually by
LCTV, necessitates an open
Templeton.
Curtis also mentioned that
serious problems have been
noted regarding the housekeep­
Ing staff, and these problems are
#going to be addressed con­
stantly.• Many ASLCmembers
complained of doors left un­
locked by housekeeping staH.
Horror stories were swapped.
Constit11tionaJ changes
pondered
Uritz mentioned that many
"holes" and uincot1Sislenc1es"
were being found in the ASLC
constitution, and that those er•
tors 1vere being fixed and
streamlined. For instance, one
passage refers lo "2/3 majority
of a quorum," which uses three
contradictory or at least confus­
ing tenns, calling the intent into
question. Uritz said ASLC's
aim was to # streamline while at
the same time preserve a foun•
dation.u
Controversy occurred re­
garding budget dlscrepanaes.
B & f's relationship to the busi­

Rodda presented hl!r pro­

; SAG discusses need for communication
BY AMY R1CHA•DS
he Studel)t Advocacy Group
(SAG) held its second meel;lng
on Tuesday to d1SCUss student
c.ms and complaints about the
'sa,,d financfal aid offices. Direc-­
of Student Financial Services (SFS)
Elmore and vice dean Mervyn
ti represented the offices nt the
. There were no representatives
lhe cashier's office at the meeting.
The main topic or discussion was the
..,J for communication between SFS,
I i, mgJStrar1s office and the cashier's
t det.•nd also the need to establish and
communication between the slu•
~ body and these offices.
Students expressed frustration over

to deal with more difficult Issues, While
he could not speak for the cashier's of•
fice, Elmore said that though his office
dosed al four each afternoon. he'd be
happy to see studen~s by appointment if
they had a problem and couldn't go to
the office during regular hours .
Elmore said that busy students can
email the office al sfs@ldark.edu with
their problems and that the message will
be routed to the counselor who can help
them besL He said that he'd only been
working at LCsino, last January and was
trying very hard to make the offices less
intimidatmg and more use<'friendly.
l!lmore assured students at the meeting
that he was listening to what they had lo
say. •1t•s not going unnoticed, l assure
you."'
He admitted sometimes students get
lost in all the paperwork that the offices
are responsible for, but that he was work•
ing toward changing this. k6very one of
these papers Is from a human being, •
he s.1.id.
Some other changes that Elmore is
making in SFS procedure Lndude creat­
ing of a sr,s pac.kel for incoming fresh•

cies, compiling such a packet for return•
ing students geared toward their needs
(scheduled for next year), and elim.inat•

Changes arc occurring In school
policy toward registration at the begin•
ning of each semester. Mervyn Brockell
outlined a new proposal that would
strongly encourage people to pily their
bills for Fall 96 by the deadline, August
15, and that would allow students lo get
their validation sticker at the beginning
of the term and let them work out the
details of their accounts after receiving
thcstkket. However, students would not
be allowed to register for any courses for
the following semester until their ac•
counts for the current semester were
cleared.
Students not paying their bills by the
August lS deadline next year would be
Enk Johnson and Enc Utterbeck parbcipate m the SAG meeting. chi1rged interest until they paid the ini­
tial bill In past years, the school has not
penalized students who didn't pay b<:­
foce the deadline. However, LC loses
money that could be ~-pent on student
programs when student:; do not pay on
time, because the college cannot collect
interest on that money. "We need people
to pay when they're supposed lo pay,"
he said. ~we don't want people lo have
to wait in line aod waste their time."
Under the proposal,mrom.ingfresh­
mcn in Fall 96 will also have to pay a reg­
istration deposit that will stay on their
accounts for the time they areal LC. U a
shndent pre-registers for classes during
one semester and does not show up at
LC for those classes the next, they forfeit
this deposlL Brockett said that students
could notify the registrar's office up to
two weeks before the beginning or the
semester without being penalized. He
said that this policy would allow the
registrar's office to have an accurate
count of class siz.es so spaces in classes
could be allocated properly.
The need for communication sur­
faced again concerning AMS, the
monthly payment plan. Though the col­
lege sends out an advertisement and ap­
plicataon for AMS to mcoming freshmen
with their fmandal aid information, it
does not give the student any informa­
tion about how using the program could
affect their LC accounts. For instance,
students paying by AMS cannot receive
reiunds until they are full)' paid up for
the semester, but students are not told
that when they sign up for the payment
program. Dean of Students Michael
Ford, who had tried to help student
Anbsa Beasley earlier in the semester
with this problem, felt that by adopting
this policy, LC isn't putting faith in stu­
dents. Or her case, he s."tid, "Why can't
we be on her side?"
The final topic or the forum was
w,ork study jobs. Many students at the
forum said that work study is too com­
petitive and the jobs are very dlffkult to
obtain if one doesn't know \~here to look­
One student called the work study award
a •hunting license". The best suggestion
offered was to call offices the first few

do not publicize their work study posi­
tions, so sometimes students just have to
call and hope they gel lucky. "You
shouldn't h.we to stumble upon a job,•
critidu>d student Eric Johnson. Brockett
said that the jobs were there for students
who looked for them, and added that LC
contributes two times what the ledernl
government does to the work study pro­
gram al this college.

01 should've come off without
a hitch: myseU, Peter Ford,
Ryan Coffey, and Matt
Sherman had lhe plans to
ma.ke ii happen. A., of-age students, it
seemed that we were the only potential
members of our respective media orga­
nizations who could brave the tempest
of Templeton, the swirling gyre of
alumni in an effort for the most noble ol
objecuv~ tororertltestory. WeplMned
lo break the th~p,ece suits out of the
mothballs, sllck our hair back llke some
perverse lmitahon of the Baldwin broth­= (with Mnll Sherman as Stephen), and
do some real field jou.malism. ln short.,
we would go undercover, incognito, as
all true investigative journalists had
done.
We would crash the Gala.
Of course, everyone copped out on
me. Undaunted, I buttoned up the best
flannel shirt I owned, combed what hair
I had iefl nfter the day's visit to Great
Olps, and headed for the Fields dining
room with my notebook, in search of
trouble, the tru lb, and a good lime.
Nearly every alumnus I encoun­
tered seemed to be o,njoying the event.
All were decked out in fine regalia, Md
I would have fell out of place, had the
atmosphere not been so positive. Save
the o«nsional odd look, I was pretty well
Ignored like you would ignore someone
you didn't remember going to High
School with. I tried, but failed, to resist
the temptation lo walk up to random
people and claim they should remem­
ber me. An example: "Hey, Brtly! It's
Man Sherman, from your Biology class
Junior year! Remember me? That nlght ALLA
you and me got naked an lower cam­
pus with the whole sailing team? Say, is
this your wife?"
Aside from wreaking minor havok,
I took in the scenery. The Bon was done
up special for the evenl. .. two tables on
the fur side of the dining room near the
windows had been set up to serve food
and wine respectwcly. While I was
there, the food table had '"'O customers,
the wine tnble roughly thirty. The in­
timidating line was, at the lime, about
the only thing preventing me from get­
ting a Ultle loud myself.
So l started lo check oul the band,
this being the "rock n' roll room" and
all. Aslxliescoverband wasspillingout
all the classic hits you and 1 know from
K-Tel commercials and re-runs of "The Monkees". As a disco
ball swirled overhead,
the lads gamely tumed

an empty dance floor.
The empty dance floor
was a tragedy. If Blvis

There is no excuse for this
kind of insubordination. lhave
never had a janitor who would
not leave a classroom, and ev­
ery one my classrooms has had
to be cleaned as well. Yet when
the class is held in a dorm, this
cleaning man (eels he can come
and go as he pleases, washing this and that, without regard for
the students. It was an abuse of
the students' investment in the
class to have it interrupted like
that.
Theo this aftemoon, I was
sitting in my room with the
door open, enjoying a leisure
activity with my roommate,
when a deaning lady saunters
across the doorway, DUSTING
THE DOORPRAME. We have
our door open often, and have
never experienced this before.
I, myself, have never felt the
need to have my doorframc
dusted. This mvasion of my pri-PfGft1¥8 8. ]995
vacy disturbs me.
Th.ese incidents seem tollt
incn,asing in frequency and in­
tensity. I know they're unnectS­
sary because nothing like Iha
occurred last year, and yet tht
dorm remained dean. It rt­
minds me of the cartoon the
Soiceror's Apprentice, in whidi
the brooms multiply and fflF
pouring buckets of water in th!
wcll until lhe place is flooded.
What is the meaning of .r
this? Is this part of the Maslft
