The new Student Community Safety Committee, which recently held their first conference, now has the daunting task of curbing violence without turning Chico into a militant community. The aggression has to be discouraged, but we don't need the Associated Students and Chico City Council running around Gestapo-fashion. They're going about it in the wrong way. We need less committees and more individual- oriented exercises in love and compassion. In a town that is alcohol and drug-filled, it should be no surprise when an occasional vicious attack occurs, but doesn't have to be this way.
Society consists of individuals.
Individuals can change society.
