Prior to the meeting, however, several unnamed sources spoke to Nate Hendley, journalism program representative on the board, about the possibility of replacing Egerdeen through board procedures. According to Hendley, these sources complained of Egerdeen ’s team spirit, public relations work, and booking problems with pub entertainment. The Halloween dance was given as an example.

The ratings board of the Motion Picture Association of America has finally decided to add an additional rating to films that are not recommended for children. NC-17 (No children), came into existence earlier

In the past, the
MPAA gave all films with excessive
sex and/or violence in them an

The MPAA denied this reasonable request for a number of years, displaying unfair prejudice against the films. Its inability to change with the times told the public that they would not be allowed to decide for themselves whether they should see a film or not.
