Working after high school could be the thing to do. It would mean sticking around town and living a carefree life, perhaps getting an apartment and testing life ' s ups and downs. But then again, a secure life must be in the making and eventually one will have to settle down to a career. The opportunities are there how ever, and depending upon one ' s personal talents and skills a working life could prove rewarding.

A President is elected . . . While we were filling out col- lege applications, making appointments at the career cen- ter and working on those never- ending term papers, American voters went to the polls and made a decision which would certainly affect our lives in the 1980 s. In a landslide, Ronald Reagan was elected the fortieth President of the United States. The political center of the na- tion had shifted to the right. In many ways it was a strange election. Most people found themselves voting out of a sense of frustration and anger. There seemed to be little real enthu- siasm for any of the candidates. A vote for Reagan was a vote against Carter: a Carter vote was an anti-Reagan vote; and a vote for John Anderson was a vote against the two-party system it- self. If given the opportunity, many people expressed the de- sire to vote for none of the above!! The economy was the big issue. Runaway inflation and sky-high interest rates helped to drive Jimmy Carter from office. Casting a shadow over the elec- tion was the continued impris- onment after one year of fifty- two American hostages in Iran. Americans were confused by the nation ' s changing role in the world and searched to regain a vision of a simpler America that seemed to have passed with time. Ronald Reagan promised a return to a simpler time, and in so doing, captured the mood of a majority of the American people. Whether such a return is possible, only time will tell. But the outcome of the election of 1980 will certainly have a far- reaching influence in shaping the world we are about to enter. Nov.4th Election Day, is the time. Put yourself to the test . . .
