Time ran out last spring, and the committee began the year with the same question: what to do about the fifth course policy, and what to do about pass-fail. Encouraged by Dean Monro, and tired of going over the same ground again and again, the committee wrote the framework of a pass-fail fifth course proposal and presented it to the Faculty's Committee on Educational Policy for approval and details.

For passengers from California's suburban Orange County, the frustration of an hour's drive to Los Angeles International Airport to catch an hour's flight to San Francisco seemed particularly ridiculous. County officials pleaded in vain with major airlines for direct service from Santa Ana to upstate points.
