An Appeal from the Ruling of the Chair - Part One

Posted in Political, SMC Governance, SMC Community, In Loco Parentis, Associate Student Board of Directors, Inter-Club Council, Clubs on April 10th, 2006 by Longwing

Report Card Arrives Early

This article begins a multi-part series exposing the dysfunctional, mismanaged and, in some respects, criminal nature – philosophical, practical, moral and legal – of the Office of Student Life at Santa Monica College as it operates (or, rather, doesn’t) under the ultimate jurisdiction of Dr. Robert “Bobbie” Adams, vice president of student affairs, but actual day-to-day management of Assistant Dean of Student Life Deyna Hearn and Student Activities Advisor Benny Blaydes.

Ren McCormack - Please Come to SMC, Please!

Posted in Political, SMC Governance, SMC Community, In Loco Parentis, Associate Student Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, DPAC (District Planning & Advisory Council), Faculty Senate, Classified Senate, Inter-Club Council, Clubs on March 13th, 2006 by Longwing

In 1984, Paramount released the movie “Footloose,” the story of Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon), a streetsmart teenager from the big city whose family moves to Bomont, an earnest little Oklahoma town, whose elders years earlier had banned any kind of public dancing. Under the inspired leadership of Ren in challenging the statute, his peers rise up and assert their right to dance. Bomont is an apt metaphor for SMC now - before the arrival of Ren.
