...part of the volunteers (often at the expense of their academic studies) no socially productive and/or personally rewarding programs will develop out of PBH. Clearly by cutting off funds and denying course credit the University is limiting the function of PBH to that of an ameliorative, do-gooder institution. The type of social service the FAS suggests reeks of paternalism and nobles oblige and offends the sensibilities of any concerned student. Must we return to the days of totally ineffectual and frustrating tutoring programs...
...Scouts' essentially white, midI die-class orientation. Today they epitomize the Boy Scouts of America's search for "relevance." Foremost on Scouting's list of reorganized priorities is reaching the ghetto youth, who traditionally rejected Scouting because it seemed just another white do-gooder organization or had little relation to his city existence...

Where he should be ridiculously eager, he is listless; where he should be bottomlessly downcast, he is listless. On the other hand, John B. McKean, who plays Oakapple's foster brother, is ceaselessly, aimlessly and rather awkwardly energetic. He is always swirling, prancing and dance-stepping. His good intentions and obvious relish for the part can neither overcome nor excuse the peculiar dialect...
