IN AN INTRICA . .— I. ■■■ M l— . . ...I ■ ., I . I « People have always sought immortality. From the mind- boggling construction of the pyramids of Egypt to graffiti scrawled on subway and restroom walls around the nation, all of us to varying degrees want and need recognition. However, in the fast-moving, competitive, and often in¬ different world we live in to¬ day, many people are overwhelmed by their ap¬ parent insignificance. Every day the media bombard us with images of women and men with perfect body proportions and straight teeth who never fail at anything they do; if we can¬ not meet these standards Rebate, rebate — anyone want to buy a car? During the winter car dealers ex¬ perienced twice as many non-sales as last winter. To get more cars off the lots, the dealers offered up to $600.00 on rebate for buying a new car. we are left to wonder if we are normal and to doubt our value as human beings. We are surrounded by scientific achievements which straddle the boundary between human and super¬ human; we have seen a man walk on the surface of the moon. Yet during the se¬ cond manned lunar expedi¬ tion in November of 1969, many people were openly bored with the television coverage of the “moonwalks”—the novelty had worn off. How are we to make an im¬ pression on a world that is so over-exposed to the quickest, biggest, best, and most of everything that plac¬ ing a man on the moon can barely provoke a comment from the average person? How do we cope with a society which demands perfection in every under¬ taking? In January of 1975, a fifteen year-old high schoof student from Milwaukee left her parents this note before taking her life: “. . . if I fail in what I do, I fail in what I am.” The “failure” she was referr¬ ing to was a ‘B’ on her report card—she had never receiv¬ ed a grade lower than an ‘A’. It is not realistic for everyone to expect to be the best in his respective field; we can¬ not all be the first person to walk on the moon, or have Nationwide unemployment approached WW II highs during the winter of 1974-75. Workless people line up in Chicago. Nixon resigned as an aftermath of Watergate. Gerald R. Ford became the first non-elected President of the United 2 Opening
