Cover design by: Susan Schildkraut Dear Reader, This was a year when the Ti- gers rose to number five in the national football ratings only to end the season with a bowl game no one wanted to claim. Stu- dents fought to oust a curator for sexist and racist remarks. Fifty-three Americans were held hostage in Iran. President Carter reinstated registration for the draft and Chrysler struggled to make ends meet as did many of Americas unemployed. History continues and it al- ways will. To stop the clock is impossible. But it is important to take time to reflect on what made this year memorable. The 1980 Savitar will take you on a journey through a year of your life and bring back memo- ries of that time. The Savitar is the yearbook at the University of Missouri, but most people dont know where the word tTSavitarll came from. Savitar was the ancient Hin- doo sun-god who saw all things and recorded all the good and evil deeds of men. The reason the word was chosen as the title of the University of Missouri mlrvl'lgigllljllllllljl1111171111ll 14152 9 yearbook was explained as fol- lows in the introduction of the 1898 Savitar. ltAfter considerable research and cogitation, Savitar was selected because we liked the size and the sound of the word, and because its associations bore with them, as we thought, appropriately suggestive mean- ingsfi HSavitar is the sun god of Rig-Veda. The word contains the root su, meaning to drive or stimulate. Savitar, and its alter- native in mythology, surya, de- note the splendor of the lumi- nary and its irresistible energy. Savitar is the god who sees all things and notes all the good and evil deeds of men. His power is irresistible. Age cannot touch him, and nothing can withstand his will? As we grow older, the passing of time will touch us in many ways. But through its pages, the black-and-gold kindered spirit of the Savitar will watch over us and record this year for eternity.
