UT prints that touch a yearbook in the course of a life- time. While thumbprints tend to “gum up” many surfaces, they also add a touch of personal identity. In an attempt to further personalize the yearbook for the Western student, the 7a isman staff incorporated hand signs for continued stories (extending past one spread). These stories, as well as the opening features, were subsequently closed with thumbprints. This individual characteristic was typical of 1976. IT WAS A YEAR THAT TOUCHED EACH WESTERNER DIFFERENTLY. With the wording decided and the basic ideas formulated, a theme had resulted. The staff went behind the scenes to provide additional depth to news stories covered in the book. Student comment and opinion can frequently be found throughout the book. The news itself was typical and atypical for the year. The bicentennial celebration added more flavoring to the nation’s 200th birthday. Parts of the country varied in their fervor of celebration. A presidential campaign in 1976 saw Democrat Jimmy Carter and incumbent President Gerald R. Ford, a Republican, emerge as early frontrunners for their party’s presidential bids. Meanwhile, on the “Western front,” a discussion of tenure was a key issue in the early fall for the Board of Regents. Other school-related events included the much publicized success of the school’s athletic teams and talk of grade inflation. But these happenings, regardless of their outcomes, all affected people and their emotions. People both made and were affected by the results. In essence, another year of life itself took place. Delve into this publication as a child would dream his way into a fantasy world. Complete with its mystery, happy and sad moments, adventures and regrets, 1976 was a unique year. It was one that definitely touched each Westerner differently.
