Wise Words or Weirdos?AMIT A SAIAVALA

Revellations

Who are all these people running around campus with their signs,their pamphlets, and their slogans? Who are these men, wrapped in pinkcloth, beating drums by the Price Center? No, they’re not art majors.They’re part of a standing tradition. They’re the "campus prophets" whostand on the Hump, or in the Plaza, shouting their views and their moralslogans at you and your frionds.

How do we get rid ofthem? Wedon’t. They’re proteoted by the FirstAmondment. Whether you agree with them or not, telling our "unpaidprofessors" to leave goes against their Constitutional rights.

So you’ve already heard so much about censorship and the Con-stitution that you’re about to spend some time paying homage to theporcelain throne, right? Well, even if you were to hook up with someonein Congress and amend the Bill of Rights, that family would still be in theStudent Center reading from the Bible.

The scruffy guy with the "Masturbation is Fun" shirt would still bearound, too. Why? Because this is a university. And any institution thatcalls itself a university must credit itself with "academic freedom and thepursuit of truth." R is everyone’s right to search for what he or shebelieves is true. It is also everyone’s right to advertise that truth ffbe orshe finds it.

There’s no difference ff one person plays a guitar by the Fountainand another preaches the beauty of pagan rituals near Stonehenge. Bothare expressing themselves without harming anyone else. Anyone on thiscampus is protected not only by the Constitution, but by university ideals.Carry on Masturbation Guy. Carry on Hare Krishnas.

Comments, Suggestions, and otherpoints of view on this subject are wel-come, and can be submitted to the Rev-ellations mail box, in the Dean’s Office.

A Step Beyond Freedom of SpeechRAMIN AMIRNOVlN

RevellationsDespite the fact that the freedom of speech, expressi~n, and

thought are essential for the existence of a free society, as cvmy Mill-inthamced American can tell you, there is a limit to such freedoms. Manyfeel that everyone should be allowed to state or express that which he./she wishes, as along as they do not physieadly harm others in doing so.This philosophy is flawed in assuming that the only way that one canharm another being is through physical actions and that words, ideas,and the like cannot be hmnf~. The truth of the matter is that words andideas can have much more pronounced affects on the society, speciallythe moral fabric of the society, than actions. The diffm~a~ which existsis that the affects of actions are visible in the short rua whereas those ofideas and words take years or perhaps ages to show their true negativeoutcomes.

For instance, the univerity is seen as a place for freedom of thoughand expression and evmyone is allowed to state and verbalize that whichthey think, despite its content. Such persons as "Brother Jed" are theconsequences of this excessive liberal policy. This man is not contentwith simply and quietly voicing his opinions on the subject of religion(Christianity), but rather finds a perverted sort of enjeymeat in demor.alizing females whose appearance defies his moral beliefs. Jed hasstepped beyond the simple and humane soliciting lm-form~ by suchgroups as the Jehova’s Witunesaes and continually makes demoralizingand sexist conmmnts about females. Although such statements mightseem harmless, their affects are unpredictable unless yon are the subjectof these comments and unfounded remarks. Simply put, freedom ofexpression and thought should be limited to the freedom of expressionto the point that the expression is unable to harm another person eitherphysically, mentally, whether directly or indirectly (as with Brother Jedor the white supremesist groups). The complexity sad problems of sucha method are too much to be discussed here, but if this form of"expression-management" is Imrformed with its own correct bounds, itwill provide for a society more conscious of its surroundings andmembers, rather than the current society in which complete freedom ofspeech yields the gowth of hate, demoralization, and the like.

Reveilations

In between the trees, your gh~g eyes,like exquisite dew gracing aor soft beams of light glowing at sunrise,rest upon my face with giances gentle.

Eyes that reflect the color of the skies,a face of the beauty of an angel,smiles joyful as a bird’s resounding cries,kindle flames to illuminate my soul.

You drew me out of barren wilderness,breathed life into this shriveled existence,shared ethereal dreams with warm kisses,enchanted this dead heart with your entrance

To riffs void, you granted unfathomed sightNot ~ea the stars give such gentle light.

Volunteering in soupRevelle College has to offer, but you just haven’t been able to fred kitchens, tutoring elementary students, and cleaning up the beachestime. Well, here’s your opportunity to learn what each student groupdoes and how you can get involved, making your own lasting mark atRevelle.

Not many students are familiar with Revelle College Council(RCC), but as the student governing body of Revelle, RCC plays integral role in many aspects of the college, including activitiescoordinated by Revelle’s student organizations. Comprised of sixelected representatives, three elected A.S. senators, one appointedfreshman senator and freshman representative, the Assist. Dean ofStudents, and the Dean of Students, RCC deals largely with financialmatters and in executing policy. Also, RCC provides students with thechance to represent ReveUe on campuswide organizations. Yet, moreimportantly, RCC’s main purpose is to answer the questions and voicethe opinions of Revelle students. By attending the council’s weeklymeetings, you can make your voice heard and just hang out with abunch of really cool people.

In conjunction with RCC, there are six standing committeeswhich plan activities for Revelle students. Most of these committeesmeet on a regular, usually weekly basis, and always welcome newmembers and flesh ideas (for meeting times visit the Dean’s office).

The Revelle Program Board (RPB) plans many fun eventsthroughout the year such as BBQ’s and bands on the Plaza, the

are only a few of the ways that CO dedicates its time to serving theneeds of the community.

The Commuter Activities Board (CAB) is specifically aimed reaching out to commuter students so that they can share in all the funand excitement of Revelle. Activities sponsored by CAB includebreakfasts and interesting trips.

"Revellations," Revelle’s college newsletter, is what you’rereading fight now. and it’s open to any and all aspiring journalists,photographers, and just about everyone else. "Revellations" keepsRevelle students on top of current matters and acts as an outlet forstudents to display their creative capabilities.

The are also 4 special event committees which coordinate one,big event for the year: the Renaissance Faire committee, the Semi-Formal Committee, the Graduation Committee, and the College BowlCommittee.

Now that you’ve gotten a glimpse into the wonderful world ofRevelle College committees and organizations, there’s no excuse tostay uninvolved. Each student group not only creates a commonbond among its members, hut collectively, the groups achieve agreater sense of unity among all Revelle students. So, with thecountless ways to make a difference at Revelle, you’ll definitely fmdyour own niche in at least one of its organizations.

E.L.P., the Leader FactorDANNY LgONO

Revellations

Though a common belief, E.L.P. (Emerging Leaders Program) is nota factory for mass-producing a horde of carbon-copy, soldier-like I~k~,who go about performing important and unknown tasks in their high-society meetings. On the contrary, E.L.P. trains its leaders to make a directimpact in the lives of students at Revelle and at U.C.S.D by their directinvolvement in the lives of their fellow students. Moreover, E.L.P. instillsrespect for cultural, enthnic, and religious differences, responsibility forself, and reliability to society. Our future leaders learn how to share andwork with each other while learning to be diligent and compassionateleaders.

The second year in its existence, this baby organization has beensuccessful in preparing Revelle’s future leaders. E.L.P. seeks to trainincoming freshmen by refining their leadership skills early on in theircollege careers. Although a program targeting freshmen, there arenumerous spots available for second year students. At the weeklymeetings held on Thursdays, they discuss ~¢leeted leadership topics onconflict resolutions, corrective criticism, and effective teamwork skills.These forty students learned that leadership is a process whereby anindividual helps a group to envision and achieve mutual goals. Althoughleadership styles vary for everyone, it encompasses altruism, integrity,confidence, compassion, and humility. By identifying individual stylesconflict management with certain animals, each person was able tounderstand each other by understanding the characteristics in that animalthat best corresponded with that person. By identifying these differentleadership characteristics in each person, they were able to strengthengroup dynamics by realizing and accommodating for the different meth-ods employed to manage conflict and handle situations.

In addition to the weekly meetings, E.L.P. holds interactive activitesto help its leaders explore their leadership potentials. Last quarter, theyspent a weekend at Isomata, Idyllwild to discuss cultural diversity andgroup cohesiveness. Hardly a retreat, this weekend drilled unity into themembers. Despite the rigorous pace, the leaders were able to become aclose-knit family by sharing common experiences and overcoming thesame obstacles together. For example, they had to climb up and walkacross a huge tree trunk as part of a physically and mentally draining ropescourse. Although the activities on this retreat proved to be tiring and oftenterrifying, by working together, they were able to complete a fun-filled andchallenging weekend that inspired confidence in each individual, andunity and trust in the group.

On May 20, the ~uits of their labor will become evident, as they willput on the P.U.F.F. Festival. The E.L.P leaders have poured all their hard-work and resources into this event, often sacrificing sleep for makingP.U.F.F extra special. Choosing bands, looking for vendors and sponsors,selecting the ideal location, and getting publicity, they have channeledall their energy and fervor in preparation of this day, a day of blaring bands,fabulous food, and festive fun,

THE 1994-95 UCSD SENIOR GIFT

LINDA BONILLA

Senior Gift Committee

Hey Students! For those of you who do not know, Senior Giftcapaigns have traditionally fulfilled graduating students’ desire to leavetheir mark at their alma mater with a meaningful contribution. In the past,UCSD seniors have donated money for suchworthy projects as the Eucalyptus IrrigationProjects, RecyclingPrograrn, Triton Pub Reno-vation and Library computers, with class giftsranging between $12,000 - $36,000 in pledges.

This year’s Senior GiR will help to ac-quire computer hardware and software forUCSD students with disabilities. More spe-cifically, this gift will include two complete

"This year’s Senior Girl willhelp to acquire computer hard-ware and software for UCSDstudents with disabilities."

Intel Pentium computer systems with DOS & Windows, voice-activatedcomputer operation and furniture to accommodate the equipment and theusers. These advanced computer systems would meet the needs of andbenefit 150 currently enrolled students and many future students with

disabilities. Given today’s computer dependent environment, this equip-ment will make a tremendous difference in the lives of our fellow class-mates.

However, such equipment is not cheap. Because of extreme finan-cial constraints, the Office for Students with Disabilities is unable toprovide these computers to students. The goal of the ! 995 Senior GiftCommittee is to set a campus record high in total pledges and participationrates. In Order to attain this, we are asking every senior to contribute $50

or more. These donors will receive indi-vidual recognition on a Senior Gift plaqueto be displayed in the Price Center. Inaddition, donor of $100 or more will re-ceive a one-year complimentary member-ship in the Alumni Association. No, youdo not have to be a senior in order tocontribute to this worthy cause.
