fall Two major events reflected the end of the decade...the Iranian Crisis and the Anti-Nuclear Movement. . . . After finding political asylum in the United States, the Shah of Iran was replaced by religious and political figure Ahyatolla Khomeni. Shortly thereafter, students stormed the American embassy in Tehran, capturing civil and military hostages. Riots ensued over both sides of the world demanding release of both the Shah and the hostages to their homelands. . . . The nuclear controversy, spurred by the leakage at Three Mile Island, was brought close to home when the campus began questioning the safety of the nuclear reactor in Boelter Hall. Currently, the reactor is still in operation; although anti-nuke organizations are seeking its demise. . . . Students seeking low-budget ways to get around town faced yet another hike in gasoline prices, this time it reached $1.00 per gallon; and California is still on the odd even plan.
