It was an early morning in late October, just as the latest Palestinian riots were gathering strength, when the lively 14-year-old entered his father's tiny used-furniture store in Jabalia, a ramshackle town in the north of the Gaza Strip. "I won't be able to come see you tomorrow, Daddy, so can you give me two days' allowance right now?" he asked. Mohammed Imad, unsuspecting, forked over the money.

He'd be demanding more Faculty, agitating to strip down our inefficient bureacracy and institute a better advising system. He wouldn't be "working with administrators" to negotiate lower phone bills--let the Campus Life Committee handle that. Instead, he'd be a highly vocal advocate of the student interests that extend beyond our pocketbooks and our stomachs...
