Metapathy: malady of the spirit The results of the NSA referendum held on Monday point to a facet of the emotional makeup of the average Rice student that has long hung in the backs of several minds around here, but has never been fully enunciated to our knowledge. The Rice student is not apathetic, but shows signs of some- thing far beyond any sort of commitment at all. This meta- pathy, as it will hence be referred to, is a malady of the spirit so disguised as to be visible only to an outsider, or to an insider who has (foolishly or not) involved himself in the doings be- yond the ivy hedges. At least part of this metapathy is justifiable in terms of the amount of time required to remain a student here. Only a gung-ho visionary or reckless time-waster would involve himself in something that might conceivably require a slacken- ing of the pace required to simultaneously perform the work in five or six huge and demanding courses. Or perhaps it is the student's almost virtual need to think of himself as fulfilling a role in the larger society without hav- ing the pedigree for it. Having placed himself in the ambiguous position of a non-productive productive member of society, the metapathetic student then forgets many vital aspects of his existence as a member of society, among these being that he is still privileged to make comment upon the nature of the society that he lives in. This stems partly from a feeling that as long as someone StnaCt Stetnfo Gtt "Sty 'PxaClemt else is footing the bill for the ride, (especially since the ride has no responsibility clauses on the ticket—such as fighting Since the "Woodward Plan" has gone down in weakness in a necessarily finite curriculum. or voting), the rider may make no comment upon the nature in glorious defeat, it may be considered an in- Coupled with the independent programs offered of the conveyance, the scenery seen as it is passed, or (perhaps crimination of the current efforts to implement in many departments (and which should be offer- especially) upon the nice people who are footing the bill. curriculum changes to associate them with their ed in all), the program would allow students to This sort of voluntary begging of all the questions of exist- poorly-received predecessor.
