s a relief from everyday pressures, each person needed his own way to get away from it all. Bike riding provided a chance for some to get back to nature and an opportunity to appre- ciate things they might have missed in the flurry of activity. Airplanes, motorcycles or whatever, transporta- tion kept everyone moving to new things and places. Although the gasoline shortage slowed us down a little, most students found a way to escape to more peaceful things. Government affairs attracted the nations atten- tion as procedures took a turn for the worse. High government officials moved about as Vice-Pres- ident Spiro Agnew, Senate Investigator Archi- bald Cox, Attorney General Elliot Richardson and others removed themselves or were removed from the public eye. The year '73-'74 was indeed one of setbacks whether because of school, world or individual affairs, but it was also a year of moving ahead and going forward as we looked for solutions in the midst of constant activity.

Summer and the beginning of a new routine for 2700 students who had spent an entire nine months together. ln our own lives, the summer may have meant a group trip to Europe, joining a softball league or working at a summer job. Chances for entertainment suffered a letdown when the Village Pool was closed. Wliilci Oklahoma City seemed to have the same amuse- ments as years past, the state and nation took a different turn. The summer was full of crises concerning govern- ment, economic and penal reform. Oklahoma became the center of national attention when serious confrontations turned into a prison riot and McAlester's penintentiary was burned to the ground by angry inmates. While we struggled to ease tension in Oklahoma, Vv'ater- gate became the major controversy in national affairs. Many of us watched as Senator Sam Ervin and his com- mittee replaced Days of Our Lives and As the lNorld Turns. Cas wars became a thing of the past as the nation suf- fered a severe gas shortage and ten gallons per customer became a familiar sight. In spite of the nation's major setbacks, the space pro- gram made a step forward by completing the first leg of the Skylab mission when three astronauts lived in space Z1 days. Life
