The class of 1981 was greatly affected by political changes in this state and throughout the country. Much controversy surrounded Governor Edward King's decision to raise the legal drinking age to twenty in 1979. Many Simmons women signed the Covenant, a document supported by hundreds of thousands of Boston-area people to show their concern and pledge their help for a city torn apart by racial strife. Simmons women became quite concerned when President Carter proposed the reenactment ofthe draft, including women, in 1980, since the Equal Rights Amend- ment had yet to be approved and added to the Constitution. Ronald Reagan, sup- ported bythe Moral Majority and a massive swing to the right politically throughout the country, won what was probably the first presidential election most of the class of 1981 ever voted in. The major issue that defeated jimmy Carter in 1980 was, of course, the way he handled the economy. There were, however, multitudes of other issues and problems that he could not seem to solve. During the Carter administration the United States faced the gas crunch caused by Arab oil embargoes, the Three Mile Island catas- trophe, followed by many nuclear plant protests throughout the country. People complained about illegal immigrants from Mexico. U.S. generals denounced the SALT II treaty, women lobbied for legalized abortion, the government established diplmatic relations with China and broke its treaty with Taiwan. The Soviets invaded Afghanistan, so the United States and many other countries boycotted the Moscow Olympics. The government relinquished control of the Panama Canal. it ' - 41 I 4 fs , 4 G5-'iv H ffl! Blish. 5, . ' ,ik-gh 8 -P4441
