NICE G out Y M Hubert Horatio Humphrey May 27,l9114January 13,1978 t, 1 4 PE NUTBUTTER AN JIMMY The year 1977 began with Jimmy Car- ter assuming a presidency that had been restored to a degree of respectability by Gerald Ford. The new president set a new style almost immediately by leaving his limousine and walking up Pennsylvania Avenue from the capitol to the White House. His first year in of- fice has been marked by a struggle be- tween the administration and the Con- gress over the President's highly ambi- tious legislative program. As the year wore on, Mr. Carter sur- vived his battles with Congress over the Energy Conservation bill and the Bert Lance Affair. fl IS ST A name recognized by all, a man known by many, Hubert Horatio Hum- phrey was certainly one of the most influential senators, most influential men of our times. His death in January after a five year tight with cancer brought the whole country to its feet in recognition ofthe great statesman. Humphrey was born in 1911 in Wallace, South Dakota. He worked in his fa- therls drugstore and later attended the University of Minnesota. Hisstudies were interrupted by the Depression but he later returned to the University and graduated with a degree in political science. In 1945 Humphrey was elected mayor of Minneapolis. He made many reforms and improvements in the city and in 1948 he ran for the U.S. Senate As a delegate to the 1948 Democratic Na- tional Convention, Humphrey rose to demand that a civil rights plank be in- corporated into the platform. The state of civil rights in the U.S. was nev- er the same. His views were adopted and they laid the groundwork for the fight within the party, the Congress and the country. As a senator and later as Vice-President under Johnson, Humphrey championed federal aid for education, the Peace Corps and Medicare as well as civil rights. Though he never made it to the Presi- dency, Hubert Humphrey left a lasting impression on U.S. policies and pro- grams that will far outlast his sixty-six years on earth. 000

Middle to Far EAST The Middle East has always been thought of as a place rich with oilmen. In a land filled with shahs, shieks, and emperors, it has been described as a playground for kings and queens, prime ministers and ambassadors. This para- dise hardly seems a place where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It also seems the least likely place for na religious war. In reality, the Middle East is in constant turmoil. There are many different conflicts going on, but the most involved is the one between Israel and Egypt. The conflict concerns who has the right to the Holy Land be- tween the two countries. The Jews against the Palestinians resembles the argument between the Protestants and Catholics in Ireland. The United States is becoming more invloved in the conflict and has taken a role as the Hmiddle mann. We hope this turbulence can be settled peace- fully. The historic meeting of Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat kicked off a peace effort between Israel and Egypt. The return of the Soviet spy satellite to the earth in early February caused widespread fear over possible radiation contamination in both Canada and the United States. The satellite was sup- posed to self-destruct before it could reach earth, but radioactive remains were found in northern Canada near Great Slave Lake. United States and Canada troops and planes were equipped with radiation sensors and sent out to comb the area after inhabitants re- ported citing of 6'meteorite . The Soviet Union later agreed to re-imburse the Canadian government for their ex- penses in the search and recovery of the satellite's remains. The remains of the Russian satellite were found in Canada after a long search. ' 1.
