Sen. Gordon Smith speaks to teenagers in Pathways, a drug and alcohol treatment program at the John Serbu Youth Campus.

members enough to provide them
with a second chance. He added
that it was the people involved
more than the building itself who
were making the real difference in
turning kids back onto the right
path.
“At the end of the day, bricks
and mortar are not the answer,”
he said. “Much more important
than the structure is the lives and
people involved.”
Another reason Smith had for
visiting the campus is using what
he saw to discuss his efforts in re
ducing drug abuse. Following this
goal, he spent some of his time
speaking with 12 teenagers en
rolled in Pathways, a residential
drug and alcohol treatment pro
gram on the campus.
To relate to the youths, the sen
ator told an anecdote about a
youth counselor who helped him
during his more rebellious days.
The counselor, who was a former
Navy pilot, had these words of
wisdom for Smith: “Don’t fly in
the trees.”
The words meant something
more than a literal translation
would provide; Smith said his
counselor was teaching him that
thrills may be fun, but they are
not worth enough to risk your life.
“He was trying to teach me,
‘Look, Smitty, don’t fly in the
trees. It may seem exciting, but it’s
really dangerous; you may kill
yourself,”’ Smith said. “Life is
much less complicated if you fly
above the trfees.”
Through this story, Smith was
reiterating the message he had
been repeating throughout: Peo
ple have the right to make deci
sions, but they do not have the
right to choose what the conse
quences of those decisions will
be.
The teenagers’ attention was
caught by the story, but they also
wanted Smith to explain his visit.
A few even questioned Smith’s
motives as a politician for being
there. Others, however, praised
him for caring about the campus
and the program.
One shared his own experi
ences with the senator.
Andrew Rofinot, 17, has been
in the program for almost six
months and is set to graduate
Wednesday. Overall, he said he
gained a lot of good skills that will
make him a productive member
of society, even acquiring his GED
in the process. Rofinot compared
his experience in the new campus
facilities to the old building.
“The staff are working a lot
more with kids and stuff,” hd
said. “They treat you well here.
They help you out a lot.”
Rofinot came to the program
voluntarily once he realized that
he had a drug abuse problem, and
was happy with his decision.
“I didn’t come here because I
had to,” he said. “I came here be
cause I wanted to.”
Smith praised the facility’s aes
thetic qualities, but said that what
goes on inside the walls is what’s
really important.
“If this place can teach you any
thing,” Smith said, “it’s to teach
you that there are good choices
and there are bad choices.”
New dean
continued from page 1
At the graduate level, he said he
has dealt extensively with pro
gram evaluations. Linton, the
1999 recipient of the President’s
Award from the Society of Re
search Administrators, said he is
looking forward to working with
the associate dean of the Graduate
School, a vacant position that was
recently created.
Linton’s wife, Marilyn, is also a
prospective addition to the Uni
versity staff. The professor of Ger
man applied for an administrative
position.
“We’re absolutely delighted,”
Richard Linton said. “This is a
great opportunity for both of us.”
