Fueled by excessive amounts of rage (and alcohol) we formed the "Students of Pomona College, Associated" in 1999 in an unsuccessful coup.
Below, behold our groundbreaking Charter/Manifesto -- "Formula for a New Student Corporeal Program (14 Point Program to Destroy)", along with an early draft of the budget request, a constitutional amendment, and a roster of early leaders.
Please note: most of this is egregiously plagiarized from French surrealist manifestos, punk rock lyrics, and critical theory tomes.
Students of Pomona College, Associated (SPC,A)
Charter
Formula for a New Student Corporeal Program (14 Point Program to Destroy)
Point 1:
Milord, I am from another Country
We are bored in the town, there is no longer any temple of the sun. The dadaists wanted to see a monkeywrench between the legs of the girls walking by, and the surrealists a crystal bowl. So much for all that, we can read every type of promise into every type of face, concluding phase of morphology. The poetry of commercial advertising has lasted 20 years. We are bored in the town; you really do have to be pretty bored to still be looking for mystery on the hoardings and in the streets, concluding phase of poetry and laughter:
Bain-Douches des Patriarches
Machines a trancher les viandes
Zoo Notre Dame
Pharmacie des Sports
Alimentation des Martyrs
Beton translucide
Scierie Main-d'or
Centre de recuperation fonctionelle
Ambulence Sainte-Anne
Cinquieme avenue café
Rue des Voluntaires Prolongee
Pension de famille dans le jardin
Hotel des Etrangers
Rue Sauvage
And the swimming pool in the Street of Little Girls. And the police station of Rendezvous Road. The medical-surgical clinic and the free labour exchange of the quai des Orfevres. The artificial flowers of Sun Street. The Castle Cellars Hotel, the Ocean Bar and the Coming-and-Going Café. The Hotel of the Epoch.
And the strange statue of Doctor Philippe Pinel, benefactor of the insane, the last evenings of the summer. To explore Paris.
And you forgotten, your memories ravaged by all the chaos of the planet, wrecked in the red caves of Pali-Kao, without any knowledge of either music or geography, no longer leaving for the hacienda where the roots dream of the child and where the wine ends in tales from some old almanac. Well, you've blown it now. You'll never see the hacienda. It doesn't exist anywhere.
The hacienda must be built.
Point 2:
Do, sweet Daniel! If I weren't a jones in myself I'd elect myself to be his dolphin in the wildsbillow because he is such a barefooted rubber with my supersocks pulled over his face which I publicked in my bestback garden for the laetification of siderodromites and to the irony of the stars. You will say it is most unenglish and I shall hope to hear that you will not be wrong about it. But I further, feeling a bit husky in my truths.
Point 3:
Ask for the various "anarchist" groups, they possess nothing beyond this ideology reduced nothing to a mere label, and they are all prisoners of this label. The "incredible" The Student Life, obviously edited by students, attains the most fantastic degree of confusion and stupidity. Since they tolerate each other, they would tolerate anything.
Point 4:
No doubt one desires to serve the master badly, and to pay the price. And no doubt the master wishes to be badly served. Literature's claim to privacy in respect to all critical commentary - a claim most often put forward by masocritics themselves - barely conceals the author's inevitable desire to submit to the violence of interpretation. Author's complaints about the stupidity and venality of critics, although certainly accurate, are coded demands to be suspended from and brutalized by critical discourse. Why else publish?
Point 5:
Fuck You
Point 6:
(leaflets, announcements over microphones, comic strips, songs, graffiti, balloons on paintings in the Sorbonne, announcements in theaters during films or while disrupting them, balloons on subway billboards, before making love, after making love, in elevators, each time you raise your glass in a bar):
- Occupy the Factories
- Power to the Workers Councils
- Abolish Class Society
- Down with the Spectacle-Commodity Society
- Abolish Alienation
- Abolish the University
- Humanity won't be Happy till the Last Bureaucrat is Hung with the Guts of the Last Capitalist
- Death to the Cops
- Free also the 4 Guys Convicted for Looting During the May 6 Riot
Point 7:
Diptheria
The road to hell is paved with chocolate treats,
and candy corn is sown at the side of the streets.
Every morsel promises to make you satisfied,
but every wrapper carries another lie.
The road to hell winds through a gingerbread town.
It looks real good, tastes real good,
but truth be told, it leads straight down.
And every ounce tells, when every pound kills,
and every loose tooth betrays another wrong move,
in the diet of denial.
Denial.
Denial.
Point 8:
It is pretty safe to say that the student is the most universally despised creature in Amerika, apart from the policeman and the priest. But the reasons for which he is despised are often false reasons reflecting the dominant ideology, where as the reasons for which he is justifiably despised from a revolutionary standpoint remain repressed and unavowed. The partisans of false opposition, however, are aware of these faults - faults which they themselves share. The invert their real contempt into patronizing admiration. Thus the impotent leftist intelligentsia (from Les Temps Modernes to L'Express) goes into raptures over the so-called "rise of the students" and the actually declining bureaucratic organisatioins (from the "ASPC" to "Pomona College") jealously contend for his "moral" and "material" support. We will show the reasons for this concern with the student and how they are rooted in the dominant reality of overdeveloped capitalism. We are going to use this manifesto to denounce them one by one: the suppression of alienation necessarily follows the same path as alienation.
Until now all the analyses and studies of student life have ignored the essential issues. None of them go beyond the viewpoint of academic specialization (psychology, sociology, economics) and thus they remain fundamentally erroneous. Fourier long ago exposed this "methodical myopia" of treating fundamental questions without relating them to modern society as a whole. The fetishism of facts masks the essential category, and one can't see the totality for all the details. Everything is said about this society except what it really is: a society dominated by the commodity and the spectacle. The sociologists Bourderon and Passedieu, in their study Les Heritiers: les estudiants et la culture, remain impotent in face of the few partial truths they have succeeded in demonstrating. For all their good intentions they fall back into professional morality; the inevitable Kantian ethic of a real democratization through a real rationalization of the teaching system - that is, of the teaching of the system; while their disciples, the Kravetzes, compensate for their petty0bureaucratic resentment with a hodgepodge of outdated revolutionary phraseology.
Point 9:
A true community consists of individuals - not mere species members, not couples - respecting each other's individuality and privacy, at the same time interacting with each other mentally and emotionally - free spirits in free relation to each other - and cooperating with each other to achieve common ends. Traditionalists say the basic unit of "society" is the family; "hippies" say the tribe; no one says the individual.
SPC,A will become members of the unwork force, the fuck-up force; they will get jobs of various kinds and unwork. For example, SPC,A salesgirls will not charge for merchandise; SPC,A telephone operators will not charge for calls; SPC,A office and factory workers, in addition to fucking up their work, will secretly destroy equipment.
SPC,A will unwork at a job until fired, then get a new job to unwork at.
SPC,A will forcibly relieve bus drivers, cab drivers, and subway token sellers of their jobs and run buses and cabs and dispense free tokens to the public.
SPC,A will destroy all useless and harmful objects - cars, store windows, "great art", etc.
Eventually, SPC,A will take over the airwaves - radio and TV networks - by forcibly relieving of their jobs all radio and TV employees who would impede SPC,A's entry into the broadcasting studios.
SPC,A will couple-bust - barge into mixed (male-female) couples, wherever they are, and bust them up.
Point 10:
It seems a man compelled to understand his actions in all their totality will undergo a metaphysical crisis wherein he becomes the simultaneous subject of his actions and the sole perceiver of their total implications. He is forced to perceive the total metaphysical and ethical consequences of the totality of his actions. Tsun becomes radically isolated as he must survive the compelling exertions of consciousness as a reality of this diaphanous consciousness itself. Tsun must execute and simultaneously perceive the execution as a final irrevocable act of his own destiny, and his own perception of that act as an act of total self-consciousness is its ultimate execution. Under these circumstances, any statement predicates its antithesis, and the result of each statement is a conflict of dichotomies. The dichotomies cannot be displaced through reconciliation, as the antithesis to the totality of any action in this Borgian dialectical construction is a vacuum. The dichotomies must be annulled and canceled by the reiteration of the context of the vacuum in which they occur. Yu Tsun, our hero of consciousness, is a nihilist. Following Borges, examining the superimposition of the executor of a nihilistic action upon the perceiving subject of the action and forcing their identity, is a nihilistic act in itself. Dialectics with a predetermined synthesis create a vacuum. Continuing dialectics within this vacuum is an act of nihilism.
Point 11:
Turn your cap back to front and root for the home team.
Don't root.
Root around bed without a partner.
Cross dress.
Memorize military nomenclature: theater of operations, corps, division, brigade, regiment, battalion
Root around bed with a partner, just make sure he's been tested and can prove it.
Flick on the TV.
Watch TV while swearing at the jingoism, sentimentality and consumer cannibalization of war.
Fling your shoe at the telegenic TV anchordroid and miss, your shoe soaring through the empty window but being intercepted by a Patriot anti-missile-missile in mid flight, the impact demolishing a crack factory in the inner city, no casualties.
Watch TV approving the jingoism, sentimentality and consumer cannibalization of war.
Get stoned.
Get stoned and watch the dissidents on TV throw stones and the occupation forces shoot rubber bullets and tear gas.
Get stoned and listen to the optimistic estimates of the tens of thousands of allied bombing sorties which take out military and military-industrial targets but murder almost no civilians.
Carpet bombing, cluster bombing, smart bombs, smart missiles
Get naked.
Look in the mirror.
Get a heart attack.
Point 12:
These Comments are sure to be welcomed by fifty or sixty people; a large number given the times in which we live and the gravity of the matters under discussion. But then, of course, in some circles I am considered to be an authority. It must also be borne in mind that a good half of this interested elite will consist of people who devote themselves to maintaining the spectacular system of domination, and the other half of people who persist in doing quite the opposite. Having, then, to take account of readers who are both attentive and diversely influential, I obviously cannot speak with complete freedom. Above all, I must take care not to give too much information to just anybody.
Our unfortunate times thus compel me, once again, to write in a new way. Some elements will be intentionally omitted; and the plan will have to remain rather unclear. Readers will encounter certain decoys, like the very hallmark of the era. As long as certain pages are interpolated here and there, the overall meaning may appear: just as secret clauses have very often been added to whatever treaties may openly stipulate; just as some chemical agents only reveal their hidden properties when they are combined with others. However, in this brief work there will be only too many things which are, alas, easy to understand.
Point 13:
I confess I am hesitant to take this leap, fearing a fall into some endless unknown. Shadows of all sorts swirl rapidly about me, creating high walls whose lack of substance I am powerless to prove. Yet these same shadows seem to yield not the slightest hint about one episode of my life, so oddly moving as it was revealed to be: several times I have recounted a series of facts relating to some intimate circumstances of my life, strange enough to deserve attention. Only a precise and absolutely careful reference to the emotional state of the subject to whom such things happen can furnish any basis for their evaluation. Surrealism has always suggested they be written like a medical report, with no incident omitted, no name altered, lest the arbitrary makes its appearance. The revelation of the immediate, bewildering irrationality of certain events requires the most severe authentication of the human document conveying them. The time in which such a poignant interrogation is inscribed seems far too valuable to permit additions or subtractions. It can only be rendered properly by considering, and having agreed, that it has really gone by.
Point 14:
How many times have you endured such a ritual as this? How many times have you sat this way, already half defending yourself against some imminent tedium or assault, and listened, or half listened, as paragons of intellectual productivity rose to offer you the fruits of their labors, what they have learned, what they have come to know.
But let me say, quite honestly and if possible without the slightest rhetorical ploy, that I find it difficult to proceed in that manner. I cannot offer you things I have conceived through hard labor, things I have established and known to be true. All I have to offer you are suspicions, fears, urges, superstitions, habits, the faintest of glimmers, things I imagine some of you will dismiss as nonsense, or useless, or worse.

partial listing planned activities:
Swim Test
It is clear that the ability to swim is important as a life skill. If a plane were to crash over a body of water, and people actually survive, the ability to swim would be necessary. If one were to fall into a pool, or off the side of a naval battleship or similar flotation device, the ability to swim and stay afloat is likewise necessary. Unfortunately, less and less Sagehens are capable of this feat. We propose to have swim parties, where sagehens will be able to learn, practice, and prove their skills in order for them to leave pomona prepared. We plan on gaining the support of administration, so that this test can once again be required as a part of graduation.
Swim tests will feature licensed life guards and swim instructors, live music of the highest calibar, smoothies and assorted tropical drinks, and tequila.
Weigh in Day
Another great tradition of Pomona College, has been the weigh in day, where Freshman women would be weighed and measured by Senior men. Realizing the blatant sexism of this act, college officials ended it. SPC,A seeks to reinstate it, in a gender-neutral form. Male and female freshman shall be measured by male and female seniors upon entering the college. The human body is a precise machine and as such must be taken care of. Health is of the utmost importance, and SPC,A aims at reminding students how to take care of themselves during a day of various activities.
No Socks and Stocks Program
SPC,A plans a public program of image building and maintenance. In efforts of improving student fashion, SPC,A will purchase new shoes for students willing to donate a pair of socks and leather sandals they would otherwise wear together to charity.
Student Activities Fund
Enough money has been wasted by the so called "Committee for Campus Life and Activities" for events frequented by only an "elite" few. Programming shall return to the people.
Students of Pomona College, Associated Today
The weekly newsletter shall promote the events and ideology of the SPC,A to all members of the Pomona Community.
The Truth
Joint publication of the ministries of truth and information, seeks to discredit SPC,A opposition in a parody like way in order to escape standing slander, libel and defamation of character laws. Also known as a weekly campus humor magazine, The Truth shall feature entertainment stories and guides, as well as poke fun at unpopular ideas.
Residence Halls Staff
SPC,A shall organize and maintain a residence halls staff. Each year sponsors shall be selected for the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. These sponsors will live in residence halls with their sponsees, acting as peer advisors and helping them acclimate to pomona college life. There will also be three "head sponsors" who will oversee the sponsor system, underneath the minister of residence halls. The SPC,A will also operate a Resident Advisor staff, located within the residence halls. These resident advisors, also known as RAs, shall enforce the rules and regulations of the SPC,A. They reserve the right to cite, fine, and report the actions of any student or "pomona college RA" to the proper authorities. Additionally, the SPC,A will operate a network of Deans, responsible for the campus life.
Addendum to Constitution
Ministers shall be addressed by the following title "Minister of (department) (first initial of last name. In the event that another minister of a similarly starting name exists, the newer minister shall incorporate the next unique letter in (s)he's last name into the title)"
Ministers shall be elected twice yearly by the cabinet, at the start of each semester.
The floor rules shall not be Roberts Rules of Order, but instead the Queensboro Rules of Boxing.
There may be no limits to the number of minister, unless limits are instated.
Any person, belonging to the people, may join the SPC,A in achieving its goals.

Budget Request
Students of Pomona College, Associated
SPC,A
Budget Request
The Students of Pomona College, Associated hereby request the sum of $ 0,000 in funding. This figure is based on the average voting turnout of past "ASPC". By these figures, it is clear that the so called "associated students of pomona college" are in fact not a legitimate governing body, averaging only % participation. As a true people's government claims total participation, we reject your "authority" over us and our surpressed brethren. We, the dissociated students of pomona college, assume our own leadership and guidance.
As our registered manifesto points out, the "APSC" is no associated group of pomona students, but instead a self serving machine, dedicated to forcibly raping its taxpayers with high tariffs and using the profit to serve its members needs. The wants of an elite few are too often put above the needs of the many. We rise out of the fire you have so many times tried to burn us in. Ashes no more, we are a united people, students associated, and will burn your suffocating hands.
We respectfully request that all fees, wrongfully assessed from ourselves and our constituents, be deposited into an account in our name.
In case you are wondering how we will use the peoples' money to achieve what you have continually failed to, this is a partial listing of our planned activites.
