VANGUARDISM. The student government at Indiana University votes down a resolution opposing U.S. action against Iraq. A number of representatives were unimpressed by the noisy presence of some supporters of the resolution. These representativeswanted to consult with their constituents first. The vanguardists were unimpressed, vowing revenge on those who voted no. I wonder if the vanguardists read this advice about consensus, or if their attitude was that consensus is achieved when the demonstration begins.
