On more than one occasion this past year, we have heard the rather ominous comment that rather than commemorate the past that wc, like the good ole USA, should throw everything out and start all over again. Well, thatis just about what we did on this Garnet and Black. Cries of everything from If we get another late book, you'll be crucifiedi' to Keep up the good workn almost demanded il. Whether you notice them or not, changes have been made, and we think they're for the better. The magazine format has been revised to become that of creation rather than imitation of popular magazines. ln some instances, it has not been as free a ride as we hoped, but at least we have had more leeway with our layouts. A more obvious change, especially to those who belong to student organizations, is the omission of group pictures in the 1976 edition. With only 102 of the Universityis 21,736 students involved in some 200 organizations, we could hardly see the necessity of printing page after page after page of group shots. Instead, we have tried to catch these organization members in candid active photographs while covering the activities of importance in copy. From these major changes, we added a little of the tradition of the Garnet and Black maga- zine network and headed into the actual production of this volume. At first, we expected the Bicentennial furor of 1976 to sweep us off our feet and give us something exciting to fill our pages with. But the 200th birthday year proved to be nothing different from the 199th or 198th for that matter. It was just another year, we found out, after the much anticipated fireworks fizzled out. Nevertheless, we were hell bent on portraying the year 1976 as a year different from the others and we set out to do so. Nationally, the First Lady of the United States pronounced that she would not be upset if her daughter had a premarital affair. While this raised eyebrows from many a suspicious mom, it was perhaps not as shocking to them as the two females who attempted to assassinate her husband months later. No one seemed to be frightened by the aetions though as 13 persons openly declared their candidacy for either the Democratic or Republican presidential nominations. Statewide, Governor Edwards continued his assault on the University and higher education in general when he ordered that the school's budget would have to be cut 8 percent in line with other state agencies. On campus, while an unenthusiastic President, William Patterson, claimed I haven't got much interest in young people, and remained unscathed by his remarks, four deans resigned citing philosophical differences' with the administration. Although the basketball team did not fare as well as they hoped, the baseball team landed a second-place finish in the college world series and the football team participated in a post-season bowl game. 1975-76 proved a quiet year for most students, although the campus has seen quieter ones. After years of debate, a few students finally stood up to their beliefs and tried to close Green Street. Although the action was only temporarily successful and a few were arrested, it marked a new hope that a hushed student body could break out of its shell. These are some of the times you'll find covered in the following pages. You'll notice we've even included the oft disregarded mundane events which make a campus just that. We had to - that's what Carolina is. And, last but not least, we tried to go beyond the typical yearbook and not only cover the year, but also something about the University's history too. This is a Bicentennial year, don't forget, and we would like you to have a record of the actions of the past which have molded our present. By putting them in perspective, we think you'll better understand '76, The Caro- lina Heritage magazine in itself proved a more monumental task than was expected and repre- sents the research of five students over a period of four months last summer. More than anything else though, the '76 staff has made every effort to give you a look at the year 1975-76. Hopefully as you read this retrospective view of what has come to pass at Caro- lina either today or twenty years from now, it will make you say this was Carolina in 1976, a year like no other. garnet ond bloc
