...months, agreeing to accept questions at an Undergraduate Council town hall meeting in the fall and sporadically showing up at house dining halls, albeit to dine at separate tables replete with fine linens, china and a list of invited guests. These acts, however, were the calculated moves of a lame duck president, a man who had completed his job without the distraction of student input and now had luxury of casually listening to student complaints to which he knew he would not have to respond. Lack of genuine interest in student opinion was and is a defining feature...

But I can't recall another time period with the sheer depth of tastelessness that typified the mid-'70s. It wasn't just the No. 1 one song that was bad, No. 100 was equally compromised. The only good music was way, way, way underground - subterranean, troglodytic, journey-to-the-center-of-the-earth stuff...
