,Xxyi A, 18s Politics on a federal scale gained momemtum as the candidates began their long struggle to attain the Presidency. Economics progressed as the number one issue, and a tricky issue at that. Ronald Regan, fighting the incumbent Gerald Ford for the Republican bid, launched a notice- ably neutral compaign, and became noted for his sophistication and polish on the campaign trail. The Democratic party offered both incred- ible diversification and confusion with their col- lection of contenders. As the primaries passed jimmy Carter, the fifty-one year old ex-Gover- nor of Georgia, moved into the limelight, and seemed the most credible candidate. introspection characterized the campus mode as the scandal exploded over the Student Asso- ciation fraud. Three students were placed on two-semester suspension as the result of a ludi- cial Review Board recommendation. These stu- dents, accused of theft and falsification, held the positions of Student Body President, Stu- dent Entertainment Commission Director, and Student Body Treasurer. United States Secretary of Agriculture, Earl Butz, confronted the issue of feeding the world's growing population in April, during a lecture in the Oak Room. Mr. Butz cited the problem of feeding the masses as being the world's most pressing concern for the future. Dther international concerns centered in Rho- desia, Angola, and the Middle East. Henry Kissi- nger, United States Secretary of State, attained world renown as the great peacemaker. Patricia Hearst was found guilty of armed robbery in May ending a trial that fascinated the nation for more than eight weeks. The nation devoured the newest Watergate informa- 1 i , tion with steady and avid interest. This narrative took the form of a personal account of the downfall of the Nixon administration, and was titled The Final Days. The year ended with the selection of Dean Rusk, the former U.S. Secretary of State, as the graduation speaker. Our nation moved closer to its bicentennial and towns and cities all over the countryside buzzed with plans for its cele- bration. We see that our nation like ourselves is enveloped in a spirit of transition. America, in its brief existance has experienced war from within and from without, and has known both the tides of despair and waves of hope. Yet, she has flourished, and this same prosperity is our destiny also. The times that lay ahead of us house uncertainty, but this dubious future will be greeted with the confidence of knowledge and the strength of perserverance. 1975!1976? A most profic year, hopefully a xear of new beginnings and memorable con- clusions, and certainly a time to cherish. li
