Other student representatives are mild and modest, like Maureen Massivver, 18, who was elected to the school committee in Pawtucket, R.I., last November. She describes herself as a "moderate liberal," and her low-key program includes upgrading Pawtucket high schools by allowing bright students to take such subjects as psychology and philosophy. She also recognizes that with budgetary problems and new teachers' contracts to settle, some of her ideas may have to wait. "Government isn't a zippy thing," she says...
...declined to name the hospitals, but one of them volunteered news of the problem.

After the incident, the Law Faculty passed a compromise plan which had been drawn up before the incident; a plan which instituted reform so mild as to be meaningless. Bok's glad-handing and oily sincerity at the "study-in" made no difference in the resolution of the issues in question. His presence was simply a device to reduce tension and pacify students; his gesture not only lacked substance, but showed contempt for substance...
