. , (continued from page 6) some heckling, which was drowned out by enthusiastic cheers, and a firecracker that momentarily terrorized the entire au- dience, Ford proved that for the first time in years the changed campus mood would allow a warm reception for Republican as well as Democratic candidates. In the meantime, Carter became the subject of extensive criticism for his participation in an interview printed in Playboy magazine. In the article Carter admitted to lusting in his heart, and used language that many considered religiously unbecoming, not to mention unbecoming as a presidential candidate.

Little more than a week before the election, the News struck again, this time disclosing that Riegle had had an affair with an unpaid staff member seven years earlier, while still married to his first wife.
