By Lynn Muller A Japanese Subway People were packed on the morning train and seemed to roll over each other like potatoes. A frail, dark-haired man in a uniform and white gloves blew his whistle, drew his wooden stick, and began T0KY0 to do his work on the passengers. No, he wasn't a club wielding UNDERGROUHD maniac on the AA train. He was a people pusher, Japan's way of keeping the subways running on schedule. SYSTEM While the Japanese people consider the pushers the least attrac- tive and most unpleasant aspect of their subway system, as a New Yorker, I viewed him as an almost amusing attraction. Besides, when considering the alternatives at home-the rude charactes and big oafs by whom I've often had the misfortune of being mauled on the New York subways-I waited willingly with a silly smile to be nudged as I took my daily ride to work this past summer.

The Japanese subway system is one of the most immaculate and efficient of any I have had the pleasure of using. A New Yorker feels like Alice in Wonderland-the train pulls in quietly and both doors (not just one), open smoothly, revealing the red or green velvet seats sculpted with dragons and other traditional designs. As I took hold of a strap-hanger I am confronted with a tiny face looking at me from an advertisement placed, not just on mine, but on all the hang- ing handles. The walls of the car were a blur of splashy, vividly colored ads featuring an equal number of western models as well as oriental ones. Quite a bit of English wording was used as it is Vqnteta trying to appeal to trepdy and young yen-spenders.

s it a delegation of authority or a refusal to accept it? I The College Council's decision to mandate a faculty referendum that will decide the fate of the proposed core curriculum may seem like democracy to some. To us, it looks like a retreat. What began as the Mellon Project experiment aimed at forming a unified curriculum has degenerated into an administrative free-for-all. Despite the bluster of various committees, councils, and task forces, whose debates have been raging ad nauseam for the better part of five years, nothing has been resolved. Resolution demands responsibility; responsibility is exactly what the Council has refused to take. Having had six months to ponder the proposal, the Council has finally come to its decision: to make no decision at all. Instead, it has forced the faculty to pass judgement on the most crucial issue to hit CLC in a decade, giving them just three weeks to do so. This type of buck-passing is typical of the way decisions are made at CLC: they're not. It leads us to wonder about the nature and function of this Council, since its purpose, by definition, is to make decisions. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Monetary Notes

nrollment is at an all-tune low and so is the Student Activities Budget. EA total of $23,185.43, as opposed to last year's budget of approximately $26,000, was distributed among sixteen student clubs and organizations. The $3,000 difference did not bode well for many CLC clubs. A petition has been circulating which suggests that the student activities fee be doubled to $10 for a four-credit course and $5 for a two-credit course. That should keep most piggy banks intact. However, some may become upset, especially those who are not directly involved in any student club or organization. Another increase, let alone a 200% increase, will not fair well with the inactive. Anyone who reads the Observer is seeing what his or her student activities fee is funding. Anyone who has an accident in the school building can get help from CLC's infirmary, the Emergency Medical Services (E.M.S.). These are organizations funded by the student activities fee, too. Whether F. student realizes it or not, when they pay the student activities fee, doubled or not, they see where it goes.
