Picturesque snow scenes were a seemingly never-ending siglit around the New Haven community. A total of 39.1 inches of snow and freezing rain blanketed the ground during the early winter months. Numerous national issues such as busing, the Hearst trial, airport bomb- ings, the Olympics, postal rates, med- ical malpractice, and the presidential race came into perspective. The capture and trial ot self- declared radical Patty Hearst was one of the nation ' s top stories. Doctors all over the United States, particularly in California, protested the alarming insurance premiums they had to pay for malpractice insur- ance. In hopes for a remedy, some abandoned the insurance altogether. Postal rates went up in December from 10 cents to 13 cents for a first class letter. Dorothy Hamill, Sheila Young, Peter Mueller, and Cindy Nelson will stand out in the minds of Olympic fans as they brought top honors to the United States during the 1 976 Winter Olympic Games held in Inns- bruck, Austria. The United States placed third overall in medal stand- ings. Candidates emerged to affirm their candidacy for the presidency. Issues the candidates were frequently ques- tioned on were busing, abortion, the economic slump, and unemployment. Several changes emerged within the community. In the city of Fort Wayne, a change of administration took place with the victory of Robert Armstrong over incumbent Mayor Ivan Lebamoff. New Haven re-elected Herb Brudi as its city manager. The completion of the new New Haven High School was another local project. Workers strove to complete the roof of the complex before poor weather set in so that the interior work could be started. Since snowstorms and freezing rain can bring things to an abrupt halt, most Bulldogs welcomed five extra vacation days, resulting from the harsh winter weather. Around Christmastime, several new gifts flooded into the buyer ' s market, including mood rings, mood necklaces and Pet Rocks. Current events — 15
