9. Make 101 Better through Public Policy • The reason I am giving the 101 society this opportunity is to help all students improve their skills and knowledge. • This public interest should be the goal of your actions today, not your selfish private interests.

10. KEEP IN MIND • If either the Conservative or Socialist System is chosen, students who would be better off with the Traditional System will receive the grade designated under the Traditional System. • The Class Decision Can Only Help You!

11. Rules For The Grading Exercise • The final policy must be selected from one of the three proposals. • Grading policy must be unanimously agreed upon OR there must be a unanimous agreement on a voting procedure to reach a decision on the grading policy. Therefore, every student has veto power. • Final vote will be a secret ballot. • Each speaker must stand to speak and be given courteous attention for no more than 30 seconds. • Any disorder will result in a 60 second period of silence. • Decision must be reached by 1:30 p.m or the Traditionalist System remains.

12. Grading Exercise Reflections About the Behavior of Players • Act like dogs (barking to vent; groveling for scraps) • Can’t tell if public interest is a cover for private self-interest • Lack knowledge and understanding

13. In Politics all players are savages • Dale Carnegie was ignored • Nobody believed anyone spoke for the public interest

14. Reflections on Politics • Minority always shapes outcome in someway • Subsidies too appealing to ignore • Procedural decisions have substantive consequences • Equality is a very confusing idea

15. Voting Procedures • Consensus NEVER works; it gives everyone a veto and slows change • Ask me about Poland

16. A Failure in Leadership • Strategic Thinking • Fear of Power • Guts
