Until the administration is sure the Faculty favors some sort of reform, it will probably continue to present the Faculty with a moving target that is impossible to shoot down with an all-or-nothing vote...
Paxton's reticence as a performer arises naturally from his movement style, perfectly scaled for this sort of space. The wise old man of dance criticism, Edwin Denby, once noted that some dance gesture relates to the entire stage area while other gesture relates to the dancer's own body.

Murphy adds, "Horton testified to the following: every major candidate in last year's state elections supported decriminalization in Oregon," Murphy says. "He was a strong law-and-order man, but he testified that this bill now let him do the job the people of Oregon...
