The curtains rose on countless varied acts during the school year of 1977-78. In the political theater, Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin excited the world audience with a promise of Middle East peace, a production which soon folded, then reopened before our eyes. Jimmy Carter spoke from the White House on such topics as energy and conservation, while in Missouri’s arena of politics, Gov. Joseph Teasdale played a leading part in cutting the budget and exceeding the 55 miles per hour speed limit. At NMSU, world politics seemed to take a secondary role as a cast of thousands took the stage to participate in months of University drama and comedy. Everyone played his own little part in the school production, some taking more active leads, some filling in, others backing up, but all important for a smooth run. A brief review of scenes from the drama of campus life included academia and deadlines, business and bills, decisions, pressures, work and rewards. Criticism of each scene was evident in an impressive new format in the Index, in informal conversations at the SUB, and in anonymous notes on bathroom walls.

The stage is set, the cast is in costume, and the lights are dimming. It is now up to the audience to decide which scenes of the University’s production are deserving of applause as they view the play.
