7 980: A RECORD YEAR 7 CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS--Honoring the 50 American hostages held in Iran, a patriotic citizen, fabovel, lights candles in a Christmas ceremony. As the turbulent seventies came to a close, many pressing issues contin- ued into 1980: A RECORD YEAR. As the decade began, 50 Americans were still held hostage in the Ameri- can Embassy in Iran. Demanding the return of the exiled Shah, the militant Iranian students captured the embassy on Nov. 4. The U.S. and Iran re- mained at a deadlock for over six months. Complicating matters in the Middle East, the Soviet Union invaded Af- ghanistan. ln retaliation for this hos- tile action, President Jimmy Carter called for a United States embargo on grain to Russia and an official boycott of the Moscow Summer Olympics. However, American speed skater Eric Heiden shined at the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, winning five gold med- als. The U.S. hockey team also came through, winning the gold medal. Concerning many Lincoln students was the issue of reinstating registra- tion for the military draft. Hoping to deter Soviet aggression, Carter asked Congress to approve registration for young men and women born in 1960 and 1961. This controversy led to widespread anti-draft rallies on the na- tion's colleges, reminiscent of the riots of the Vietnam era. On the home front, gas prices reached S1 a gallon by the end of the decade and continued rising through the year. Many students felt that gas prices curtailed their driving. Ski trips and other weekend excursions proved much more expensive than in previous years. Students were shaken up a bit when Northern California was rocked by earthquakes in late January. The most severe measured 5.8 on the Richter scale. Southern California had its share of disaster when a series of storms caused widespread flooding. ln the midst of an election year, G.O.P. and Democrats were busy campaigning. Front runners for the Republicans were George Bush and Ronald Reagan while Carter and Edward Kennedy were leaders in the democratic race. With the threat of war on the hori- zon, many Lincoln students were con- cerned about their futures. Whether students would be able to carry out educational or vocational goals be- came a serious question in the minds of many. Epilogue
