et ready... et set ...Smil Wandering around dark halls, students compared schedules and searched for classrooms. Confused fresh- men asked directions from upperclassmen who worked during the week of registra- tion, Aug. 20-23. Student Council members assisted at registration by processing student ID cards, giving directions and filing. I thought registration went really weIl, said Allyson Paine, Student Council vice- president. It was fun! Something new at registra- tion was gold tickets. Quill and Scroll sold candy bars, 10 of which contained gold tickets that entitled the finder to a free PIONEER and CALL subscription. Candy sales helped raise money so mem- bers could attend a Journalism Education Association Conven- After smiling for my ID picture and picking up my schedule, I was all set Ill to go. -Wendy Weyen tion in Milwaukee, Oct. 26-28. I was happy because I could get my money back, said one winner, Jewel Caru- thers. I bought six candy bars trying to find a gold ticket! In addition to PIONEER and CALL sales, both pep clubs also sought new members. We had lots of freshmen sign up, because they were new and wanted to get in- voIved, commented Robyn Booker, Girls' Pep Club ser- geant-at-arms. In the newly-dedicated Donald W.

Princi- pal Franklin McCallie re- quested the video-taping ma- chine for two reasons. l wanted to know each of the 2,000 students and be able to put every name with a face, said McCallie. It was also a safety mea- sure, he added. If I didn't know all students, I wouldn't know outsiders. Although some students looked upon the video-taping machine as a joke, others took it more seriously. At first I was scared my name in front of the era, said Katie Rl freshman, but then I my friends doing it, so I feel so stupid. What we did at tion was good, McCallie.

olitioal turmoil all aroun Helicopters whirred over- head and secret service men mingled in with the crowd. St. Louisans gathered on the riverfront Aug. 24 to watch President Jimmy Car- ter arrive on the Delta Queen. As the boat glided to a halt, the President stood on the top deck with his wife, Ros- lyn, and daughter, Amy, smil- ing and waving to the throng of people on the levy. The President and his fam- ily disembarked from the Queen and took their places on the platform as they were greeted by St. Louis' Mayor James Conway and Mis- souri's U.S. Senators, John Danforth and Thomas Eagle- ton. Carter spoke about his voy- age on the Mississippi, paid tribute to St. Louis, the final stopping place, and urged those in the crowd to support his energy program. Amidst the crowd of spectators, groups of protes- tors shouted their complaints The President devoted himself to trying to regain the American hostages. - Heidi Markusch about the closing of Homer G. Phillips Memorial Hospital. I thought it was really in- considerate. He didn't come to make a political speech and it wasn't the time or place for them to make their dem- onstrations. Besides, it was causing a disturbance to the people who were trying to en- ioy the President's visit, said Will Ledbetter, senior. President Carter again spoke to the country, Nov. 28, but on business rather than pleasure. He appeared on na- tional television to deliver an address on the Iranian situ- ation. He assured the viewers that he was pursuing every pos- sible means which would lead 18 - - Politics 1 , YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT member Anna Shallenberger, treasurer, ex- plains the program to Mary Grone, senior.

The outcome of the Iranian dispute affected Carter's chances for winning the Democratic presidential nom- ination in the 1980 election. Besides a growing interest in the presidential election, Kirkwood voters also partici- pated in the state-wide elec- tions, Nov. 6. Voters went to the polls to cast ballots for or against the Blue Law repeal. Repeal of this 154-year old ordinance would have al- lowed businesses to open on Sundays. Voters over- whelmingly defeated the p posal. I could see the adv tages and disadvantages the repeaI, said Mrs. Jaa Rusk, English teacher.
