buck passing torn Ireland Whenever there is a spark of originality Whenever there is a gleam of hope, As long as there is life, Wherever there is the spirit of living, In whatever possible form, It must be crushed by committees. — Paul Schulman (A S ' 69) This University i s dedicated to the proposition that all problems can be dealt with by committee. Besides increasing the frustration of people who try to do things on this campus, this type of committee system has two other important drawbacks. An idea is frequently aged and distorted beyond usefulness or recognition through the committee process. A good idea, even if it were to come out of the committee intact, is generally so old that it no longer carries the piquancy and relevancy it once had. Also, an idea, once approved by a committee, becomes an institution — it can only be changed or modified by repeating the same process of committee consideration. Minor repairs require just as much effort as a total overhaul. By mid-fall of 1969, there seemed to be no solution to the problem. Then, during the T.L.F. uprising of the following spring, it became painfully apparent to everyone that something had to be done to speed up the decision-making process. PAGE 10
