On this date in 1970, the MPAA made a change to its ratings system. What was it, and why was it changed again just two years after that?

Age adjustment from 16 to 17 M for Mature renamed GP General Audience, Parental Guidance Correct! Apparently there was some confusion over the definition of "mature" (not all adult material being that), so movies with some inappropriate-for-kids material were rated GP. This led to many people thinking GP stood for "General Patronage," so in 1972 it became PG. Many adults still cluelessly bring young kids to R-rated violent movies or let them watch them at home, judging by how many 8-year-olds are familiar with Chucky and Pennywise, so it really doesn't matter, I guess.
