Caring Becomes Creed of Some Students Involvement was the key factor as some NWMSU students broke through that age-old cliche, young people never get in- volved and emerged as students who do care. Sparked by the ' 72 election and recently acquired voting rights, hundreds of students took advantage of the privilege. Voter registration exemplified the concern of the students. In the perseverance of helping one another, 345 students, more than the quota needed, volunteered their time and blood to the an- nual Bleed-In. Student Senate involvement inspired students to raise money for the muscular dystrophy drive, which brought in $500, and for the United Fund drive. Other aspects of student interest were evident as they con- tributed to the establishment of a Sheltered Workshop in Nodaway County. Further involvement was exhibited also in students becoming security guards, resident assistants, and Union Board members. )6
