Student Senate elections were prob- ably the most dismaying example of student apathy. Only 644 students voted for student body officers. Our democracy on campus is taken lightly and reflected by the representatives. However, some examples of student involvement are: The second annual McGrath Marathon was held in Apri! and raised $500 for the American Cancer Society, Playing 60 hours of basketball, these men donated time and physical endurance. The final score was 6,6 f 2 to 6,602. Senior citizens were aided by college students through helping with Meals on Wheels and Mealsite programs. Residents of the Good Samaritan Home were taken shopping p at Ch rlstmastime. Nearly all of the Greek organizations were involved with public service proj- ects of some kind. Many were involved with projects for the needy as the Chariot Ride for Charity. Many served the campus, community Individuals and groups. 13

Though apathy ruled the crowd, some individuals were exceptions. Students have a concern for their education and many work their way through, making the best of it. Every student felt an awareness of national events. The Watergate Bug was a homecoming attraction sponsored by the Political Science Club. This was a year when people got together as individuals, either being alone, or at the favorite night spot. Groups worked together to accomplish their means. Local issues were treated lightly by most Fort Hays Staters. 72
