Q AN Q FFLE Educators and administrators also began a revi- sion of their own in keeping with their academic excellence mandate. A proposal for restructuring the general studies program was presented to the Undergraduate Educational Policy Committee for consideration. For the first time in the university's history, a woman was elected Student Association president. Jana Madden, Richmond senior, assumed her post following Michael Looper's two-year term. Mad- den's first months in office were spent deciphering the financial records of the previous administration. Emens Auditorium became the first theater in the state to introduce an infrared listening system for the hearing impaired. The system allowed those hard-of-hearing to enjoy Barnum and Sugar Babies as well as the Ball State and Muncie sym- phony orchestras. s But the interests of the physically impaired weren't always kept in mind.Though the university made unmatched steps in the state to accommo- date handicapped students, in October city officials disconnected the Scramble Light which had allowed pedestrians to cross at the intersection of McKinley, and Riverside while traffic was stopped. Under the new situation, traffic never came to a complete halt. This meant that blind students had to cross with traveling vehicles. After a Student Association resolution and a Daily News editorial campaign denouncing the action, the Pedestrian and Vehicles Council re+implemented the Scramble Light in the interest of safety. The headaches and hassles over crossing to get to class had students pacing literally two steps foward and one step back, but another issuewhich surfaced in the same month would have students, T ad- ministrators and citizens coming and going throughout the year. , Huw 5156 sjorwafd AND ONE I STEP BACK Opening El
