 Pepperdine was forced to cot back its consumption of electricity durum the world wide energy crisis. Electrical power and gasoline both became increasingly more expensive and scarce when Pepperdine suffered along with the rest of the world during the energy crisis. Gasoline stations along Pacific Coast Highway limited their hours to conserve gas. Worried students drove in all directions and at all hours to find a station with gas. Despite numerous energy-conserving measures taken by the university's administration and staff, as well as by students in the dorms, electrical power was not saved in adequate amounts. However, at many times throughout the year the lights were turned off on the dorm roads, stairways and on Se3ver Drive while big cutbacks were felt by Firestone Ficldhousc. the academic complexes and both parking lots. As the events indicate the year at Pepperdine was a flurry of activity 3nd involvement. As the campus swung into its second year of operation its reputation was spread by its increased exposure in the news. .jDA TELINE: PEPPERDINE DATELINE: PEPPERDINE. DATELINE: PEPPERDINE.
