...when the social worker discusses the case he seems to be injecting extra verbiage into his speech. "Extenuating social conditions" comes out of his mouth like a cue card line in a mediocre soap opera. And that's part of Wiseman's style. The bias is there, the observers are aware that by their act of watching they are affecting what happens on camera and the distortions this causes aren't edited out; they too are a subject for investigation...
Frequently the film is in the can before the composer sets to work. While he watches the movie, he jots down musical ideas, which he then talks over with the producer and director. After that head session, cue sheets are made that include dialogue, action and music suggestions. A typical entry might go like this: "Actor crosses room, opens door, looks about fearfully (D-minor chord)-12½ seconds." Now all that remains to be done is to write the score...
...would be nice if the CHUL were the only student committee that dealt with all undergraduates, but it isn't. There is also a Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE), an Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility (ACSR), and a Committee on Rights and Responsibilities (CRR).

The ACSR makes recommendations on how Harvard should vote in the corporations in which it owns stock, and also on how Harvard should invest its money. The CRR was designed to be a sort of "honor court" in which students who had violated some...
...into smaller groups. By having its own committee, each House has a degree of local autonomy and control over its affairs. In the same way, the Freshman Council can deal with freshman problems. Student government is weakest at the University-wide level. Students serving on the CHUL or the CUE have no institutional relationship with the 13 Houses from which they are elected. Few people in the Houses know what their representatives are doing and the House committees have no formal input into the University-wide committees. Members of the CHUL will sometimes conduct a referendum in the Houses...
Perhaps the most important thing you should do is demand that all committee meetings be open to the public. At the present time CHUL meetings are closed to the 5,985 or so students who are not members, and the same is true of the CUE. These committees are making decisions that affect you, but you have no way of knowing how the decisions are made. The administration and Faculty members of the CHUL argue that if the meetings were open to the public it would be impossible to discuss sensitive issues or confidential information, like how much to increase...
