I see, the rules were at some point changed. When this program began
it was not for ambassadors, but rather for students to get involved
with the help, guidance, and support of ambassadors.

I think the focus being on involving students is the better, more
productive focus. But we come back to the problem it always had which
is getting students involved. I really support the idea here, so I'm
all for trying something new to make it work. I do think the
fundamental problem is reaching the students to get them involved.
