The halls buzzed with conversation about the Iranian militants holding the American hostages. Reactions ranged from Let's bomb those !?8tS, to Let's wait and see, but most students, like the nation's leaders, were befuddled by the whole situation. Controversy was also sparked at school when Congress mad a move to begin registration for the draft. Arguments were not limited to the draft itself, but extended to who, exactly would be required to register, men and women, or men only. Such pressing national and international issues caused students to examine and express their values pehaps for the first time.
