That's the way it was Jimmy Carter was elected Presi- dent and Campus stood accused in the newspaper of bad sportmanship and of having little school spirit. These events had very little similarity except that they were both of interest to Campus students. Teenagers had little choice on the matter of knowing everything about James Earl Carter, Jr. The media was full of his campaign, victory, and his policies. Brad Schlegel junior, I get tired of hearing about Carter and his family. Who cares if Chip smokes pot. Farrah Fawcett-Majors was a more interesting personality for many to in- vestigate. She became a star on the television series Charlie's Angels and her private life became the pub- lic's primary interest. Legalization of marijuana was an is- sue in the Kansas Legislature after Rep. Mike Glover of Lawrence ad- mitted he had smoked pot. Seven others also confessed they had used drug but refused to have their names released. A larger issue still was the war on pornography. Although conducted on a nationwide scale, the local contro- versy was of more interest to stu- dents. District Attorney Vern Miller led the campaign to close theaters that ran X-rated movies. The issue of obscenity was a burning one just as prohibition was years earlier. I think he's wrong in doing it. Peo- ple have a right to see what they want. Nancy Webster, senior. The matter of school spirit was a matter of concern for both students and school officials. The administra- tion made an effort to improve sportsmanship after Campus was rat- ed as having the worst sportmanship of area schools. Improvements were made throughout the year but rival- ries were still present. Steve Smith senior, I think spirit improved, but it was because we had winning seasons.

Today's prices: up, up and away Remember the good old days when gas was 35 cents and movies were 52.50, and food wasn't as expensive as gold? Maybe, but the memory was dimmer as the day arrived when stu- dents had to dig deeper into their pockets for these more expensive items. Food prices grew by leaps, as a pound of coffee went to an all time high 54.63 and was still rising. Even though prices were up, cafeteria food prices remained the same, but students were still affected. When the massive winter freeze killed many crops in California and Florida, a smaller portion of salads were served. Then, towards the end of the year, the cafeteria line was turned into a type A lunch. This measure, tak- en because the government reim- berses the school for type A lunches only, kept the 50 cent line 50 cents. Students didn't get off so lucky when it came to getting gas. It could cost as little as 52 cents a gallon during a gas war if the costomer pumped the gas himself, or as high as 62 cents if the attendant pumped it at a major brand station. And if the windows needed washing, full service cost anywhere from 2 to 5 cents a gallon extra. Movie tickets managed to cost more too. As lines formed to see the re- makes of A Star is Born and King Kong , the prices were also remade to a full 53.00. Even more expensive were class rings. Due to the gold, silver, and stone prices jumping higher, a girls minature ring could cost 549.00. A regular girl's ring cost about 559.00 while regular guys cost 565.00. And for extra, insur- ance could be bought and even the stu- dents name engraved on the inside. 2Z1,: inns nu! AX. 1-ff , .
