The problem is communication. This set the theme for the well attended Caucus and for most partici- pants, it was a very informative and worthwhile afternoon. Fo r the first time, representatives from the various Stu-A college committees gathered to exchange reports and to en- gage m illuminating discussion on mutual problems, issues, and priorities. Following a summary of Caucus procedu res by Chair- person Daiser Khan and M cDermott's opening address, there were factual reports from each comm ittee spokes- man. Aside from disclosing committee progress (.or lack thereof) most of the student representatives expressed their • dissatisfaction and uneasiness with college committee opera- tions. At the close of his report , Cultural Life Chairperson Ed Harvey summarized a sentiment that was prevalent in many other reports : "If changes made this year seem unim- portant to anyone, it is because that person doesn't under- stand the process of change through the administrative channels' at Colby ... Even the best catalyst would take years and years to affect a really revolutionary change, if that catalyst insists on being a part of the 'proper channels.' Fast chance will not occur here if you attempt to do it the way *theyY tel l vou. If 'they * really want to get something done, 'they' will. do it 'himself*. If 'they * don 't think it's such a great idea', 'he' wilt send it through a maze of commit- tees and it will come out (if it ever does) looking quite dif- ferent than wlien it went in ... Change 'outside the chan- nels' may be different." Therc 'was a m ultitude of issues discussed and stu- ' died in committees this year. However, m ost committees seemed to be disenchanted with their efforts to initiate policy or recom mend change at Colby. Some Caucus parti- cipants attributed this frustration to the fact that work often dealt with topics within the bounds of undefined policy, e.g., "what is a flexible fifteen credit? ". They believed that such unclarificd policy,resulted in endless committee dis- cu ssion with no direction or goal in sight. "This," said Phil Lee, "is why some faculty members may regard the EPC as a joke... we have a hard time centralizing problems.

CAUCUS continued from page 1 ation between committees was a cause of the absence of direction and power in the committees. He suggested that there be more Caucus meetings to foster communication in addition to a greater flow of information between Stu-A and the student population. He stated that "very seldom can a student's view on a committee recall thoughts and feelings of other students." Phil Lee sai d that he was some- what unsure of who his constituency is and what their opinion is. The Caucus also brought to light the confusion over the status of students on som e college committees. Stu- dent members said that sometimes their positions carried very little weight due to what the faculty saw as lack of experience and narrow perception of the long-ru n ram ifi- cations of academic policy. One committee, Academic Standing, has students appointed to sit on it yet these stu- dents are not allowed to attend any meetings. This is be- cause the Committee is concerned with confidentiality when reviewing a student's file. A debate on selected topics followed Steve Mixter's Annual Report (below). On the issues of minorities, it was noted that the Admissions Committee had failed to dis- cuss the hiring of a minorities recruiter.
