A school survey, conducted by the Shield staff last year, revealed that 57 percent of the student body worked either full or part time. Last year's class didn't flock to col- lege as in previous years. Only one- third of the 563 graduates of '74 reported plans to enroll.

Surprises mark incredible yearp Wa. EYE N, M, W.-tw zlfwx ,,, , , .. .-Q ff sf .0 W 7.

Most people grew tired of the con- tinuous news coverage on Watergate and began to get uptight over govern- ment neglect of other important mat- ters. Finally on August 8, President Pich- ard Nixon resigned in an emotional tel- evision appearance. Gerald Ford, Nixon's choice for vice president after Spiro Agnew's resigna- tion, was sworn in as president. And for the first time in history, nei- ther the President nor the Vice Presi- dent, Nelson Rockefeller, had been elected by the people before assuming office. Sparking immediate, divisive reac- tion were two of Ford's first acts of office: the pardon of Nixon and an amnesty plan for military deserters and draft dodgers. Old problems, such as school bus- ing, continued to plague the people. Open violence resulted in Boston when Crosstown busing was enforced. All types of people made the news. The socialite heiress, Patricia Hearst, was kidnapped from her apart- ment in Berkeley, California, by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Later she announced she had joined her captors. Senator Wilbur Mills tumbled from his powerful post in Congress after the exposure of his relationship with strip- per Fanne Foxe.
