Karl Ewan - Old Deaf Guard? Aha! Ryan Commerson - Part of the Old Deaf Guard? *stifled laughters* Other FSSA student leaders are not part of the “Old Deaf Guard”!! Please get your facts checked before making wild assumptions!

Ryan Commerson did not commit pranks on IKJ in the 2001 Tower Clock yearbook. He just put the yearbook together with the so-called satire of IKJ from the Tower Clock staff as an EIC (editor in chief). Why not!!

The higher education atomsphere ought to be all about the real freedom of independent thinkings from any kind of fear or intimidation or threat.

The Tower Clock yearbook(s) are belonged to the student body, not the university adminstration.

The best policy for the higher education institution is to encourage and embrace the freedom of creativity, memorable prank and whatever college life offers for all of us!

The deaf communities at large over three decades dearly paid the price for being too nice with the likes of you!

Memeserzing the historical past of the SBG probably will not help the successors at all. Look at GWB and Karl Rowe and LBJ and Nixon unnaturally obsess with the outlooks of their presidency, ex. historical perspective.

That’s what exactly happened with the IKJ and JK adminstration. They really didn’t think of the long-term consquences of brushing off the protestors and pretended otherwise. IKJ and JK clinged to their arrogance and selfishness, instead of appealed to the human decency.

I was kinda concerned about the current SBG’s Chief Justice blurred her own role as the Buff and Blue special writer, instead of issuing out the official statement within her given duties.

Seperate and equal branches of every government or adminstration works very well. The students at Gallaudet University really need their SBG officials and Student Congress representatives in guiding them on the clear path without blurring their own postiton(s) or compromise the official standing of student government. The elected student officials and representatives need to look at the whole picture of what is really going on and provide the strong leadership for the student body.

Emotions run pretty high for every side(s)on the Gallaudet campus and across the country. We need the middle ground to resolve the whole matter and put our emotions aside.

No questions about the IKJ/JK adminstration doused gasoline all over the place. The fumes and remains from gasoline kept burning and burning. The blackened clouds left protestors more determined and radicalized. Whose fault?

The same thing we see here with the Gally protests. People can build tent cities everywhere around the globe and create blogs everywhere.

Well that’s not going to work because the administration seems to be well trained to ignore these detractors from the old deaf guards thats running the dissent were seeing in Gally. And that’s going to be very easy for them because the old deaf guards and the dissenters have played many roles in the catastrophic alterations of many deaf leaders’s lives through many of their childish tricks, scourge, and pranks over the past decades. Even I. K. Jordan was a victim to one of their pranks in the Tower Clock yearbook. You can see where the roots of their positions come from. It’s not them, its YOU deafies started it.

The administration is doing good at ignoring the people who have represented the scourge of the deaf communities. Unless there’s fresh blood in the dissent, it will be easy to call the protests the old deaf guard’s bluff.

This is the heavy price the old deaf guards are paying for making the deaf communities their playground over the decades.

And, what’s your point about the Buff and Blue and the CJ of the SBG? I don’t see the relevance to my post or any of the comments posted here.

Lamberton (50s), Ausma Smits (60s), Stanley Bertowitiz, the first Gally SBG president are few examples of well-known deaf individuals.

Several Gally SBG presidents were undeservely elected.

I never was the Gally SBG president myself, but know all the Gally SBG presidents since the 1948(??). I had the official picture of all SBG presidents til 1996.

How sad for the Gallaudet adminstration do not value the relationship with the SBG representing the undergraduate students!

IKJ uusally appointed the meek and submissive individuals or honor students to various student-faculty committees or dictate the nomination of student appointees.

From my past “write-in” SBG presidential campaign for the democratization of the Gallaudet SBG and Gallaudet adminstration were the direct election of student representatives to student-faculty-adminstration committee(s). So the SBG and the adminstration could not manipulate or dictate the wishes of undergraduate students.

The questionable ethics of the Buff and Blue special writer and the currentChief Justice of the Gallaudet SBG for the special edition of the Buff and Blue student newspaper this week.

The real ongoing problems with the sense of ethics within the Gallaudet SBG and IKJ adminstration for past 18 years.
