I think he just prefers to be called Paul, and it is a college counseling center so I think everyone uses their first names in it.
I don't think it is a class thing at all

> I think I understand what you're saying .. I could be wrong, though .. are you saying that he sees you more as an equal because you're getting a college education, which is what he has ... because if that's what it is, I can understand it but it would be really really sad, you know, if that were the case because he could be that available, that open and loving, to a lot more people .. I'm not talking about the name thing so much right now as I am about people putting up barriers because of a perceived class distinction ... this is something I'm very very sensitive to, having had the bottom portion of that rope for many many years ...
