...When, a few years back, the Undergraduate Council (UC) decided that students should be able to room with whomever they wanted, regardless of sex, they followed standard operating procedure. One representative wrote up a lengthy proposal and submitted it to the UC’s Student Affairs Committee (SAC). Voted on favorably, it passed to the UC Executive Board for their blessing, then to the full Council for final approval. Then on to University Hall, where someone in the Dean’s Office put it on the agenda for the Committee on House Life (CHL). CHL then created...
...Fortunately, we peons have our cunning UC advocates to defend our bureaucratic birthright. “The Faculty has placed in [UC-appointed committee members] the responsibility for recommending to it policies related to student life and house life, respectively,” declared SAC Chair Michael R.

She implies that, because the mothers at least tried to reach a conclusion, effort and hope are essential to discussion. Some viewers may feel that the film portrays an overly sympathetic view...
...drove away I saw all these houses ablaze. I was just shocked. All this happened within 15 minutes of me waking up. Half the cul-de-sac was now on fire. That's how quick it happened. When I went to bed the night before, at 12:30 a.m., the fire was 35 miles away. Nobody could have predicted that the winds would change. If I hadn't gotten that 911 call, I might have perished. I'd never have gotten out of the neighborhood...
