included in November entertainment Don't Drink the Water, a comedy by Woody Allen, was presented by the dramatic organizations Nov. 6-8. That's the Way lt Is, the stage show, was presented by the Music Dept. First quarter report cards were issued in November to the delight of some and dismay of others. These cards had sev- eral new features, the addition of -f-'s and -'s, teacher comments and second quarter grades. Vietnam highlighted much of the news in November beginning with President Nixon's announced timetable for with- drawing U.S. troops from Vietnam and his speech to the nation's silent majority concerning the war Nov. 5. The Senate passed the President's draft lottery bill. Under the bill men would be drafted into the army ac- cording to their birthdays. When the new system became fully effective, it would mean a single year of draft lia- bility, usually the 19th, for most young American males. The first lottery was scheduled for Dec. 1. In Washington, a letter from a former infantryman in Vietnam prompted an in- vestigation of the alleged March, 1968, massacre of over 100 civilian Vietnamese by American servicemen in My Lai. President Nixon nominated Clement Haynsworth to the Supreme Court Nov. 8. When the Senate finally voted on the nomination, Haynsworth was de- feated in the first successful snubbing of the President by the Senate since 1920. Despite many government moves to slow down or stop them, prices continued to spiral and stock values fell, thus increasing inflationary pressures in the economy. Frequent airplane hiiackings had al- most dulled Americans' senses to the crime when 20-year old Rafael Minichiel- lo, an AWOL Marine, took over a plane from San Francisco to Rome, the longest plane hiiacking in history. Vice-President Spiro Agnew began a series of attacks on the news media this month, questioning the obiectivity in re- porting the news. Apollo 12's astronauts, Charles Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon and Alan Bean returned from their successful trip to the moon Nov. 30. Conrad and Bean walked and performed experiments on the moon's surface from the lunar module lntrepid. During the astronauts 31 hour, 31 minute stay on the moon, regu- lar TV coverage was suspended when the camera lens was damaged after being pointed directly at the sun. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and AIice's Restaurant attracted many Sandians to the city's theaters, while Wedding Bell Blues, Something and Come Together were the month's top songs. Culminating a hectic month was a well appreciated Thanksgiving vacation. Ncvem ber 6- 8 Don't Drink the Water 14 Homecoming Coronation Assembly Receptiomgame vs. West Mesa , -,,, .
