Several comments some already stated by others:
1. The DS article comes across as adversarial to me. No one has ever succeeded in something of this kind of thing (relatively minor (if at all) compared to Gandhi or King). We don't have the leverage and we don't have the public support either. Work WITH the AD, not AGAINST him. In emails I've been corresponding with him (slowly but surely) and he's said that moving the student section is a definite possibility. So he's listening.
2. Math classes are good. He should take them sometime
3. LeftZL is right about the usher quality. Most could care less because these are people coming in and leaving that pay the "big bucks" and they don't want to upset them, even if it is supporting the rules. As for security, most of the security are placed around the student section. Debate if that's a good or a bad thing however you wish, but with all the security around the students, shouldn't they be able to do something? And, even if they are, what about the rest of the arena?
