On the national front we saw Richard Nixon and Spire Agnew re- sign from office and then witnessed the inaugu- ration of their replacements, Ford and Rocke- feller, neither of whom were elected by the peo- ple. We saw Evel Knievel nose dive into the Snake River Canyon making millions of dollars while millions ot Americans lined up outside welfare offices collecting food stamps. Locally, the events were scaled down, but Bloomington had its share of excitement. The Hoosiers got their hopes up for an NCAA championship only to see their number one ranked basketball team defeated in Dayton. The Year in Review is designed to cover both the national and campus events that most ade- quately expressed what it was like to live in Bloomington in 1975. - Covering the events of the campus 1 9(| can at best show only a Ifaction of the varied activities and life styles that make up the Bloomington campus. A take-off on Life Magazines A Day in the Life of America, A Day in the Life of lU depicts a t ' pi- cal day on campus. The feature begins with the ringing of chimes in the Student Building at 5 a.m. and ends with Bloomington night life. Interesting places on campus that evervone knows exist but few people take advantage of are explored. Outdoor activities from spe- lunking to skinny dipping at the quarries, dif- ferent styles of meditation, a guide to the local taverns and sundry other features help give a feeling to students and outsiders alike just what lU is all about. f g The final portion of the book consists 11 of the traditional yearbook sections, ' ' ' ' but with a new twist. Not only are the various academic courses covered, but alternate forms of learning including the Independent Study Program and Free L ' niversit} ' are explored. The effect of budget cuts on the quali- ty of education at IL ' as well as the reorganiza- tion of the administration of the university are covered in depth. The Athletics section gives wide coverage to women ' s sports including the controversial Title Nine proposal which could change the complexion on college athletics. A special color section on our Big Ten Championship basket- ball team is included along with a feature on coach Bob Knight.
