Jan 8 8 1975 WELLESLEYAN does not circulate On the surface, Wellesley’s calm contrasted sharply with Boston’s turmoil over the busing issue and with the cha¬ otic conditions of the world at large.

The nations of the world were besieged by an onslaught of increasingly serious dilemmas. The Western countries were stunned by the Arab sheiks’ discovery of oil as a tool for political power. Skyrocketing cur¬ rencies disrupted the economies of Western Europe, the United States, and Japan and forced reevaluations of foreign and domestic policies. Terrorist violence claimed lives in Britain, Ireland, Israel and other areas; Cyprus was torn by civil war and subsequent Turkish interven¬ tion. Finally, the third world began to assert its majority control in the United Nations which helped lead to vigorous attempts to create a world-wide effort to relieve the endemic famine of poorer countries. The United States also experienced momentous domestic changes. As a result of increasing public outrage over the Watergate affair, the House Judiciary Committee’s lopsided vote for impeachment, and the forced release of incriminating tapes, Mr. Nixon became the first Presi¬ dent to resign from office. Inheriting the domestic woes of the Nixon administration, President Gerald Ford showed, at first, surprising vigor in his decisions to grant conditional amnesty and to nominate the con¬ troversial figure of Nelson Rockefeller as Vice-President.
