lf we're old enough to fight for our country I think we're old enough to vote for the man who will lead our country. CDave Solversonb I think the 18-year-old voting age is a good thing. After all at 18, you have both a good personal understanding of government and all the theories and information of various school govern- ment classes not far behind you. . CLynne Rudyb U18-yea r-olds had to get the vote , My eventually and l'm glad l'm in on it. - s CKaren Goodhopeb i N x .

CKatie Lilliej The U.S. is better than other countries because people are more willing to work to- gether. CPam Guthrieb Ever since l was little l've been prejudice toward the U.S. l suppose if l were living in the Soviet Union l'd like that too. You have a bet- ter feeling of nationalism in the country you live in - it's natural. CJohn Baeverstadj Student Life 279

I think all ot us should be proud to be an American. lt's part of our heritage as a unique kind of people -the melting pot of the world - what bothers me about this country is the lies and halt-truths in politics, the violence on our campuses, the cruel assassinations of prominent leaders, the crime rate, and the false faces that people hide behind. Some- times I get the feeling that I really don't know anybody - we all wear hard shells over a mixed-up inside. fNancy lVIcCartinJ I'm really happy to live in America because it's a strong country. It's a strong country, I think, because the people are able to express what they think. fBIaire Ross-Shannonj 278 Student Life

Strange is our situation upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we know: that man is here for the sake of other men. Many times a day, I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow man, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must ex- ert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received. fAlbert Einsteinj The Valhalla staff would like to express its thanks to the administration, the faculty and Editors-in-chief ..,. ...,..
