New academic policy implemented Ed Scheidt Staff W t m

Highline Community Col- lcgc has implcmcnted a new thrcc-stage grading policy to alcrt and assist students with unsatisfactory acadcrnic achievement. This three-stagc program consists of Academic Alert, Probationary Status, and Suspension. According to Phil Swanbcrg, dcan of students, "Only thc third stcp, Suspen- sion, is mcant to bc punitive."

OPINION 7- FEBRUARY 1,1991 L 73

hDathv Drevails m m u

The protest rally which was held fan.18 just >utside Highline Community College’s cafeteria :y~ be summed up being an apathctic display at xst a more apt description pathetic.

While the fact that we even had a protest rally at HCC could be considered a minor miracle, roughly 35 people out of 10,OOO students on this campus tumcd out. Considering the significance of war, this was avery nonchalant attitude taken by our student body. University of California at Berekley we’re not, but even a lukewarm effort would have been encouraging. If establishing a new constitution or a food drive to help starving factions of our population can’t evoke school participation, what can?

Those who did participate showed what seems to be lacking in today’s world-ompassion. They didn’t display the usual self-involved rhetoric en- couraged by our current economic and crime- ridden atmosphere. Despite meager results, the organizers should be applauded for their coura- geous efforts. I t is a shame that the rcst of the student body did not have h i s same fortitude.

Unfortunately, the same conviction this group of 35 exhibite hasn’t been shown by our society at the polls on election day when it counts. Edmond Burke, English philosopher, summed up a concern we should all heed: ‘The easiest way for bad men to gain control, is for good men to stand by and do

The pamts of Kelly Read are concerned about the war in the Gulf. and for them it is personal. Kelly is their oldest daughter and joined the Army just prior to the deployment of U.S. AnnedForces in the Gulf. After completing her training in October, she was sent to Germany. When the decision wasmadetoincreasetroopstrength in the Gulf she was sent to Saudi Arabia in November. Kelly’s family, like many others, are try- ing to understand the decisions that have been made.

I support our system of repre- sentative govemment and, like others, I study the issues and those candidates wanting my vote. By our willingness to vote at all we

have given support to the idea that we will accept the decision of the majority. This is not the same as liking the decision. I know that my electedleadershaveaccesstomore information than I, which helps them make their decision. They have the same difficulty in making the hard decisions that we do. Deciding to go to war is the hard- est decision a democratically elected government has to make. Our Constitution was written en- suring the difficulty of making this decision.

By choosing to vote we reject anarchy. I s my point of view wrong? If so why bother to vote at all? In 1860 Lincoln was one of five candidates for the presidency, and he won; however, many de- cided not to accept the decision. The result was that states seceded

from the Union, and the Civil War was fought. In 1865 the Union was Rstowd. For me, the lesson is clear, even though the majority is slight, it is the majority. The time for presenting argumcnts is beforc the vote-not after. I will support the decisions of the majority until the question is recalled.

While many of you are decid- ing what your role will be, emcm- ber - if you choose to get in- volved, service members like Kelly, have been committed. In ordcr to understand the difference between involvement and comrnitmcnt, think of the time you enjoyed ham and eggs for breakfast. The chicken was involved; however, that poor pig was committed. Think about i t before you decide on your COU~SC

of action.

Protests forcing people to feel again Kimberly Caraway Staff Writer

In the mid 1960’s “protest” be- came a household word, as a hand- ful of society-conscious men and women began to stand up against racism, the inequality of women’s tights, and the beginning of the Vietnam conflict.

By the end of that decade and the start of the next, the war waged on. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassi- nated, and riots were breaking out in the inner cities of many poverty- stricken and oppressed areas. But, still, it seemed that people were banding together. Protesting be- cameawayoflife,awayofcommu- nicating frustrations and angers against the injustices that seemed to plague society,

ThencarnetheWs,aradtheseU-

absorbed”me”generationwasborn. Picket signs were replaced by brief- cases; hopes and dreams for abetter world were exchanged by the aspi- rations of Wall Street. The country had voted for a man named Ronald Reagan to be president ...twice. In general, everyone just closed their eyes to the world around them.

And it only got worse. At first glance, the 90’s seemed

to be different. There was actually rrecognition for groups rallying to protect the declining cnvimnment, to save the dolphins, and to ban fur in some major department stoTes. And that was great, though these movements still lacked the kind of passion Seen just two decades eat- lier.

Then Jan. IS, 1991 arrived. The deadline came, and the deadline went And this nation’s leader de-

clared war on one small Middle- Eastern country called Iraq.

Thosc who approved stood up and cheered. Those who didn’t took to the streets, outraged and, once again, frustrated. But no matter what thcir feelings are ... the feelings arc passionate .

Whether it is in San Francisco, New York, the nations’s capitol, or Seattle, thousands of people across thc country are staging anti-war demonstrations, as thousands of others are standing up to support President Bush’s decision.

So while our nation’s Anncd Forces fight a war over oil, the mcn and womcn at home will be waging a different kind of war. And out of every justification Bush has given us for having this war, maybe this iS thebestoneof all... hehasforcedus to feel again.
