National Events Cast New Light On Freedom Students became more aware of the importance of their freedom to vote when President Nixon resigned under the threat of impreachment and Vice-President Gerald Ford, Nixon's appointee, became President. Ford appointed Nelson Rockefeller Vice-President. Thus, for the first time in the history of the United States, the President and Vice- President were not elected by the people. Inflation became a serious threat to the country's welfare, and students in Advance were personally affected, especially when the price of bubble gum doubled. The Equal Rights Amendment was big news throughout the year, but it failed to become law. Nevertheless, women became more aware of themselves as people, not just females, and girls in Advance joined boys in the Little League baseball program. The Vietnam War ended, and thousands of refugees sought safety and freedom in the United States.
