an official. Hunt does call himself a vic- tim-a victim in a story that no one tells quite the same way-a story whose ending has not been written yet, according to American Program Bu- reau material. Hunt says, Ill'm not contrite. I'm not repentent. I'm not a handwashing apologist for anything that went on. Unlike some of the others, I didn't ride out of prison on a Bible. I have my own view of what happened. I present a ra- tionale, acceptable or not, about my view of the thing. But you will not find me at all humble in the process. Hl've served 32 months in prison, more time for Watergate than anybody else. I've done it all now. I received no particular privileges and certainly no compassion from any administration.

The book would be considered small in comparison to our 304 page books of today. Top nght - It is amazing that a 1946 year- books' foreword would contain such a timely message. For, it was the aim of the 1946 Farewell and Hall staff to preserve the memories of college days that tend to fade, and this too was the 1977 yearbook staff's desire. 27kg $41629 W541, AND 1mm gives a pictmzl history of Austin Peay 79, :W m n.3' gnx m gm Minghd ianaliilives there are infinite memories which, with ?kclpassiriq at time, atejmne' iglg'row dim.
