...admirable goal, Brown will somehow have to account for other courses on social change within his department, courses with a different point of view on social change from 148 and 149. Brown also brings up arguments on "irregular" grading, "unqualified" sectionmen, "activist" sections.

Bourne's argument that just as soul rhythm can be heard in music, it can be applied to and seen in film was murky. He readily agreed that his thesis was vague, blaming it on the fact that the concept itself...
