Mr. Paul
strikes again!
by Phil Zimmerman
This has got to be the last
straw. Mr. Paul has abused his
authority once to often. This
last incident is inexcusable.
What happened you ask--Mr.
Paul sneezed while walking
past two students the other
day, and at least six witnesses
will swear that he tried to
assault one of the students.
Absurd you say, not so on this
campus.
Mr. Paul's reputation will
always overshadow any good
deed he could ever possibly
think of doing. The first thing
we hear upon arriving at
Capitol Campus is that we have
a security officer that is out to
get us. So to be on the defensive
we always avoid him and
believe everything we hear
about him. Usually the rumors
are stretched so far out of
proportion that no one knows
the difference between fact and
propaganda. So we continue to
gossip and retell the same
stories over and over, and each
time they get better.
Last year a group of "con
cerned students" had a Student
Committee on Security Mat
ters formed. I was asked to be
a member of the committee
because I was a junior. Guess I
was the only member of the
committee that hadn't already
decided on the removal of Mr.
Paul from his present position.
The committee presented
Jerry South, Director Student
Affairs, and Mr. Dressler,
Administrative Officer, a
document of recommended
changes and a list of alleged
abuses committed by Mr. Paul.
This list would question
anyone's integrity and
credibility. if they were true.
However, the chairwoman of
the committee hastly drafted
the document and relied upon
rumors and propaganda to
defend the allegations. The
explicit purpose of the com
mittee was to put the ax to Mr.
Paul. The few leaders of the
student grievers which I met
seemed to possess a dislike for
Mr. Paul to which objective
analysis could share no part. In
all my research into the
student court records and
talking with individuals per
sonally involved with cases
brought against them by Mr.
Paul, no evidence was given
that MR. Paul overstepped his
authority or used undue in
fluence upon them.
If your reputation or my
reputation was questioned by a
list of alleged abuses, we would
demand action to produce
evidence of misconduct. We
would want our name cleared,
why wasn't Mr. Paul given the
same consideration?
One good thing came as a
result of the committee's ac
tion, a student security force
was established. However, I
question the overall actions of
the committee. It appeared
evident that the committee was
a tool used by a few to persue a
personal vendetta. Most of us
have had little contact with Mr.
Paul, yet approximately 30
individuals last year kept the
rumors flying to cloud the
atmosphere of real issues
being confronted.
If Mr. Paul is wrong in en-
regulations of the college, then
why have the rules in the first
place? He's not to blame for
restricted parking areas or the
awkward parking situation
which we have. If you want to
complain about them, com
plain to someone who can
change policies--SGA. The one
fault Mr. Paul does have is that
he goes strictly by the book,
and it gets him a bad
reputation. But because you
don't like the rules, don't
degrade and slander the body
of individuals enforcing them.
The grave peril resulting is
that a small minority, ap
proximately .015 percent, can
influence the majority in their
thinking. Try and recall if you
signed one of the many
petitions circulated last year
regarding Mr. Paul. You
probably did, just because Mr.
Paul'a name was mentioned.
One thing I can't understand
is why students are so
repressed by the thought of
security on campus. I was
informed that the "big yellow
and red lights", on the security T BE ATLES
vehicle, psychologically upset
some individuals. Does this
occur when they are in a town,
municipality, or on a state road
and a marked police vehicle
passes them? The group
pressuring for the removal of
Mr. Paul were against "pigs"
in general. Even the student
security force became the
brunt of verbal assault after
their implementation. So is the
real problem Mr. Paul, or what
he and the student force stand
for and represent?
I'm sure Mr. Paul has made
mistakes. But why should
mistakes of others be
overlooked and forgiven and
not the mistakes of Mr. Paul?

Finally, after years of
experimentation in the
media and entertainment
industry, a breakthrough
that can truly be called a
breakthrough has emerged.
The discovery is Multi-
Media, and it has emerged
in the form of "THE
BEATLES: AWAY WITH
WORDS". If you only go to
see the technological tri
umphs and have no interest
in the aesthetic, nostalgic,
or musical value of the
show, by all means go; for
you will behold something
you've never before im
agined. Not a crude at
tempt at Multi-Media, but
Multi-Media itself. Twenty
six projectors, thousands
of feet of film, and a 360
degree sound system, all
tied into a computer, and
all aimed right at your
soul. Producer Earl Jarred,
who has won acclaim
intMationally for his feats
in the entertainment world,
says "trying to describe
this show is like trying to
describe music to someone
who has never before heard
it." Chris Marshall, Nation
al Promotional Director for
"AWAY WITH WORDS" and
former West Coast Person
nel Director for Apple
Records, says this about
