Standstill... 72 proposals remain in limbo Several of last year's ideas for improvement of the school received no attention at in-service seminars and SAC and Senate meetings. The cru- sade for good Human Relations, the focus of a major study and report last year, became a for- gotten issue. The 4 + 1 school day, so well- received last year at faculty student education seminars, never progressed beyond the discussion stage. Last year's zealous advocates of mini- courses and a revised grading system passively accepted inaction on the proposed reforms. 8

Unconcern ... students accept return of rules Contributions to The Subway Wall, so contro- versial during last year's Freedom of Expression Policy battle, reduced the infrequent issues to a few articles harmless satirizing the admini- stration. Senate remained talkative, but politically inactive. A committee to rewrite the sometimes inaccurate curriculum booklet and revise the hallway policy failed to yield effective products. Whether non-action grew out of genuine disin- terest, disgust, or hopelessness, the student body yielded the hallway rights gained in last year's glass corridor confrontations. September brought closed doors and unrelenting faculty mon- itors at the bookstore, gray pole, and front foyer hallway entrances. By mid-year, students became used to the newly-imposed rules and were generally unconcerned about the regulations many had deemed so ridiculous in the fall. 10
