Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 401 Community Service
"The Yale Student Council is a service and management club for all Yale College students. We serve Yale College and organize major activities of the management college. We discuss the problems reflected by the students, and propose amendments and joint improvements. To make our school a better place!"

The senior sister who came to recruit new students was sitting on a chair, facing Carter who seemed extremely interested and Rick who seemed not very interested.The difference in the expressions on the faces of the two can also be said to be extremely polarized.
The two people who live in the same bed but are full of contrasts, apart from slightly surprising the senior sisters of the student council, are not harmful to the overall situation.Originally, their goal was Carter:
"We have noticed the report on you in the daily news, Mr. Carter Black. Your speech shows us a pragmatic spirit, the kind of thinking logic that follows the problem of urgent needs, let us I think you are the most suitable candidate for the Student Council."

"Compared with chanting slogans and putting forward some advocacy, our work needs to actually solve the problems raised by the school and students. The ability to solve problems can be cultivated, but the spirit of actively thinking about how to solve problems is rare. We are very We are lucky to have found you, and we hope you will join us in serving the public good of Yale!"

"First of all, I am very grateful to the council for the invitation. But I would like to ask, what direction of work will I be responsible for after joining the council? Because I may not have much time, I am still an ROTC student, I have to take care of my studies, and these , I'm not sure I have enough time for public service."

The other party's words were official, and Carter's answer was much more official.

In the eyes of many Chinese, serving public utilities is a nonsense, like a slogan.But Carter knows that many people in the United States take this seriously!Just as the military attaches great importance to leadership training, people with public service experience are often more likely to be recognized, whether in the American colleges or society.

"It turns out that you are still a rotc student, so it's a bit difficult."

I exchanged glances with the few people who came together, and the senior sister who was in charge of recruiting new students left her seat to discuss with her companions.Carter had no objection.
While waiting for the other party's result, Carter couldn't help turning his head to look at Rick, and asked:

"You don't seem very interested?"

"I'm not interested, don't look at what they are saying now. But this kind of place is full of political rancidity. Many things are not something you can do, even if you are indeed for the interests of the majority of people." ...rather than spending energy on political compromise, I would rather keep my head down and do something practical."

Rick's voice was muffled. If it wasn't for Carter's company, he might feel that he was wasting his life even if he sat for an extra minute.

As for Rick's evaluation and his resistance to politics, Carter is not easy to answer.He doesn't like politics either, and joining the council is only for the sake of contacts and some influence accumulation.

What contribution does it really make to Yale's public cause?Carter's attitude is that if you can do it, you can do it by hand, if you can't do it, you don't bother to bother
On the basis of expanding his network, if he has the conditions to let himself use his heat, Carter doesn't mind doing something so-called serving Yale, but if not, then forget it!
Ben is not an idealist, so naturally he doesn't care whether the Yale board of directors can give him the space to display his full strength!At least, not as much as Rick.

"Mr. Carter Black, after our discussion, we have decided to admit you into the council. The study and training of ROTC may make you more charismatic as a leader. As for the time, except for the weekly regular meeting, you need to attend Besides, we don’t make mandatory requirements for the rest of the time, you can arrange it freely, as long as the work can be completed. What do you think?”

"That's naturally the best, so, do you need me to do something?"

"The main work of the council has three main directions. One is the management of student affairs, such as communicating with professors, and then formulating course requirements and regulations, accommodation rules, etc.; the other is the management of campus activities, such as libraries, sports grounds, and bus services. communication, approval and operation supervision of campus activities, etc.; the third is financial matters, for the application for activity funds, the use of council budget funds to make reasonable planning and approval."

After introducing the general business direction, the senior sister handed over the choice to Carter:
"Since the change of term in spring, the seniors of the 77th class have graduated and left school. We currently have a lot of vacancies. Among the students of the 81st class, we were the first to find you, so of course, you also have a lot of room for choice. If you can answer us now, you can choose a direction as your focus."

"Then I'll choose the second direction! It sounds like this is more suitable for me!"

In fact, it is easier to mix!
Things related to academics are the first thing to pass for Carter, an academic trash.Carter has no interest in financial work. It sounds like he is too busy and has to settle accounts.

There are enough accounts that need to be settled by themselves, and Carter doesn't want to add burdens to himself for no reason.Then, the choice is the second direction!
There won't be too many campus activities, right? !
"Okay, then we've made a deal! Remember to come to the regular meeting at five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and we'll introduce you to everyone!"

With the guarantee from the council, Carter didn't go to the club recruitment meeting downstairs to join in the fun.Think about the schedule in front of you: classes, rotc training, and a council job. In the case of not counting your own personal affairs, the schedule is a bit tight. If you add other burdens to yourself, then Carter is definitely unbearable.

Yale's club recruiting activities lasted for nearly a week. After more than [-] clubs, large and small, completed recruiting, Carter has been at Yale for a week.The audition week was halfway through, and in the next week, the topics of the freshmen began to focus on course selection.The dean of the college, Mr. Craig Myers, also started to visit the dormitories this week.
How do you freshmen feel after a week at Yale?Can you adapt?Do you get along well with your roommates, and do you need to change rooms?Whether the professors' courses are acceptable in terms of difficulty, etc., and help some students who have preliminary course selection plans to start making class schedules.
On the Wednesday afternoon of the second week, Mr. Miles, together with Dean Mann, visited the dormitories one by one as usual.When they knocked on the door of the b-5 dormitory and saw Rick alone, they asked casually:
"Where's Carter Black? Is he still in class?"

"No, he is going to deal with the council. It seems that he is going to negotiate with the New Haven bus company to add more lines near the campus to deal with the worse security environment."

"He joined the council? What a restless little fellow."
