On Dec. 22, the second issue of the Love of Freedom campus publication called for complete reform of the university system, including freedom of assembly, academic freedom, university autonomy for professors and students and for complete government withdrawal from school affairs. This cover of a 1987 publication on the Love of Freedom movement depicts a student banner demanding university reform. Twelve major campus publications, including prestigious academic ones, issued a joint declaration of campus freedom of speech on Oct. 12 to show their support. Dejected, Love of Freedom leaders retreated back to campus, refocusing on gaining more clout with the student association.
