...outsiders can only go by what we see: the two campus-wide popular elections have done much more harm than good where council image is concerned because many candidates have come across as petit-politicians rather than students in favor of honest change.

...symbolic, petit-mal rebellion, negligible in the context of the 1960s. (Or the '90s: writer Pat Jordan once described Franklin as "a nice man dressing to look bad.") But in the moral universe of serious Evangelicalism, it signified something more troubling: a distance from God, or worse, a willful turning away from his face. That is certainly how Franklin understood it. "I prayed and attended church," he says. "But I found the things in the world pleasurable and fun, and I didn't like being around Christian people."
