Summer

IU welcomes slow pace of

by Tim Martin

Between May 7-9, IU-Bloomington's student enrollment dropped from more than 30,000 to less than 6,000. Students flocked homeward in droves, dormitories closed, and groundskeepers re-seeded bare-trodden campus paths. Summer school had begun.

To the 5,779 students who attended the first five-week session, summer school meant a reprieve from the usual rigors of academic life. Class periods were longer but less formal, as students carried a maximum of nine credit hours. The fewer number of classes taken over a shorter time period (in comparison with the regular semester) seemed to make students' loads more organized.

Undergraduate summer students who lived in residence halls stayed in GRC, while graduate students lived in Eigenmann. The remaining residence halls were either closed for the summer or housed the many workshops, institutes and summer programs held on campus.

One such program was the International Cheerleader Conference (ICC) which ran from Sunday, June 26 to Thursday, June 30. The conference's 90 participants, who lived in McNutt Quad, came from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Participants learned cheers and drills and competed for daily awards.

Another program which ran for the entire eight weeks of the second summer session was the Groups Special Service '77 program.

Groups is a year-round program for financially and academically deprived students, who, otherwise, would not be able to attend college. The summer program involved approximately 300 high school students. A federal grant funded room and board, tuition, books and spending money for the program members.

Students in Groups lived in Teter Quad and took regular college classes in the University Division curriculum. In addition, they learned academic discipline and study habits to help them in future college years.

Students selected in the program were recommended by their high school prin cipal, counselor or local social worker a< having college potential. Recommendec students were then v i sited by Universit Division represent-it: yes who made the final selection.

Besides the cheerleading conference and Groups '77, the IU-Bloomingtor campus hosted a variety of other work shops. These included the High Schoo Journalism Institute, football and basket ball camps headed by IU coaches, musk programs and student leadership confer ences.

As the summer raced on, students dis covered they'd have a new thorn in thei sides come fall. On June 17, the IU Boar( of Trustees approved the first tuition in crease since the 1973-74 fiscal year. The 13 percent hike meant an increase fron $361 to $405 for Indiana residents carry ing 15 hours in the fall of 1977.

While the fee for a 15-hour course 'oar went up, the fee for a 12-hour course load went down to $324. The $361 fee o past semesters reflected the hourly rats

'or 12-17 credit hours. Under the new system, resident undergraduates would Day a $27 per credit hour rate — regardless of the number of hours taken.

Fees for non-resident undergraduates were raised from an $820 flat rate per semester to $990 for 15 credit hours, but were lowered to $792 for 12 credit hours.

Resident graduate student fees were increased 16.1 percent, while nonresident graduates incurred an 18.8 percent increase.

IU President John Ryan said the new system should raise needed revenue and still not be a detriment to those students who carry less than 15 hours and work to support themselves.

In spite of this bad news, the summer still supplied interest and excitement. On Friday, June 10, All-American IU center Kent Benson signed a six-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. Benson was the first pick in this year's National Basketball Association (NBA) draft.

Speakers, performers highlight summer

The 6-11 center, from New Castle, Ind., was president of IU's Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and helped lead IU to victory in the 1976 NCAA championship.

And then came "Star Wars." At Bloomington's Towne Cinema on June 24 at 4:30 p.m., tickets went on sale for the space fantasy that had taken the nation's box offices by storm.

The new movie by George Lucas, creator of "American Graffiti," broke all existing box-office records for attendance.

The film centered around Leia, a princess, who, with the aid of hero Luke Skywalker, tried to save her galaxy from destruction by the evil galactic government.

A banal plot, unknown actors, and special effects that elicited "ooh's" and "ah's" from young and old, all combined to form a phenomenally successful crowd-pleaser.

As surnmer drew to a close, students made various plans for the two-week interlude that preceded the fall semester.

Some worked to earn that extra few bucks necessary to get through fall semester. Others took off for the beach, the bars or the mountains. Still others simply went home to rest their "burned-out brains."

But for some students, the two weeks preceding fall semester were anything but restful. Many people worked at registration, prepared the "welcome-back" issue of the "ids" or trained for RA-ships. For these students, much time was spent moving from summer housing to fall housing, arranging fall class schedules and generally driving themselves crazy.

Fall semester loomed big, bold and ominous. Summer melted and was gone.

Fun Frolic nets over $8,000

by Tiba Altoma

It was 20 years ago when the first Indiana University Fun Frolic earned a small profit for scholarships for children of IU staff employees.

The first Fun Frolic, with seven rides and 10 skill booths, was set up in Woodlawn Field. That year, only $600 was raised for the scholarship fund. Now, the Fun Frolic brings in more than $8,000 annually.

Sponsored by university staff employees, the 1977 IU Community Fun Frolic took place June 14-18.

Located in the meadow at Seventh Street and Jordan Avenue, this year's carnival had 16 rides, including a superslide, the Twister and the Super Himalaya. A bingo tent, Dunk-A-Man and baloon darts were some of the 12 skill booths at the fair.

Saturday vendors market wares

by Tiba Altoma

"Wouldn't you like a cantaloupe today? They're only 40 cents a pound," asked a 17-year-old female. This was just one of the many offers coming from the approximately 50 vendors who gathered every Saturday morning in Bloomington's Third Street Park to participate in the Community Market.

Dozens of fresh vegetables and flowers were sold at the market by vendors from Monroe County and surrounding areas.

The market, open for buisness from June until late fall, is sponsored and coordinated by the Human Resources Department of Bloomington. Paul Fulton, one of the market's three coordinators, said this summer had been the most successful since its inception two years ago.

The purpose of the market "is to provide an alternative for people to buy fresh produce and to bring them together socially," Fulton said.

Vendors were charged a weekly fee of $1 if they sold their wares at a table in the park and $2 if they sold them from a vehicle. Many offered unusual kinds of produce such as Kerala, a bitter-tasting Indian vegetable used for blood-purifying.

For customers who did not know how to cook some of the less popular vegetables, the Human Resources Department provided a board for exchanging recipes. Entertainment was another special feature provided by the department every Saturday morning. Guitar strumming, dancing, singing and a special visit from the Pretense Theatre group were some of the activities this summer.

New deli adds to Commons facelift

by Levinia Wright

Can you imagine a $160,000 facelift? No, this was not the rich old lady down the street going in for a nose job. It was the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) Commons getting the full treatment — a complete remodeling job.

Throughout the summer, workmen stripped the kitchen and dining area of the Commons, completing the renovation by the beginning of the fall semester. A delicatessen was added to the kitchen, which also received new cooking and serving equipment.

Along with the new equipment came a new look for the Commons, as the serving lines were redecorated. The old wooden, screened dividers were replaced with modern paneled, stained-glass partitions. Two more cashier stations were added to facilitate rapid customer service.

Finances for the renovation came from the IMU building and equipment repair and debt service reserve funds.

But despite its new facelift, the Commons, its atmosphere and the people will always remain the same.

Playhouse opens with new decor

by Jane Hall

"The art of the theatre is inexorably linked to the building that houses it," according to R. Keith Michael, chairman of the IU Department of Theatre and Drama and president of the Brown County Playhouse.

The particular building being honored by Dr. Michael was the new Brown County Playhouse which opened its doors to the public in July with a production of "A Streetcar Named Desire." The new theatre is a $300,000 renovation of the old playhouse, which began serving the university and southern Indiana in 1949. It was the first summer stock theatre to open in Indiana after World War II.

With land provided by A. Jack Rogers, a Nashville businessman, and help from Professor Lee Norvelle, director of the Indiana University Theatre, the playhouse was built to specifications by Purdue University. In keeping with the rustic tradition of the Nashville community, the theatre was actually a barn with a proscenium opening in one end, a tent to cover the audience area and dressing rooms in the basement.

During the last 28 years the audience area has undergone the most change, from wooden benches and a tin roof in the 1950s to the addition of rest rooms and director's chairs for more comfortable seating in 1965. From now on, however, both the audience and actors will enjoy improved stage and lighting facilities, air conditioning and heating, as well as additional facilities for the handicapped.

The company of actors, technicians and directors is still comprised of theatre and drama students and faculty members, just as it was in the first playhouse production. Members of the company receive salaries, university credit and scholarships for their summer employment.

An August performance of "The Matchmaker" rounded out the theatre's summer season. In the fall, a successful production of the musical "The Fantastiks" played at both the playhouse and the University Theatre in September, then returned to Nashville in October.

Women's conference

The theme of the National Women's Conference was "American Women on the Move." The Declaration of American Women, adopted for November's Houston conference, began: "We are here to move history forward."

In terms of participants, enthusiasm and agenda, the convention fulfilled the motto. The 2,000 delegates were not empowered to make laws, but to identify common concerns of American women and recommend solutions for removing the barriers to equality.

Mandated by the president, the conference observing International Women's Year (IWY) was the first to be federally funded. Fifty-six state and territorial meetings and the four-day national conference were financed out of the $5 million appropriated. The national IWY committee was charged with submitting a report based on the convention outcome to President Carter, who in turn would send recommendations to Congress.

The 25 passed resolutions dealt with such issues as child and wife beating, rape, employment, homemaking and education. The most heated debates arose over the Equal Rights Amendment, reproductive freedom and sexual preference. The lone resolution to fail involved the creation of a cabinet level Women's Department.

Delegates and observers formed a diverse package, coming from every geographical, political and economic niche in the country. Representatives of the highly conservative Eagle Forum had exhibits just feet away from COYOTE, the prostitution advocacy group. "Some among us may prefer a future that simply continues the past. Our purpose is not to tell women how to live or what to do. It is simply to say that women must be free to choose what they do," said convention chairwoman Bella Abzug.

Abzug was joined by a distinguished slate of speakers which included three first ladies (Rosalynn Carter, Betty Ford and Lady Bird Johnson), actress Jean Stapleton and anthropologist Margaret Mead.

The vocal minority of conservatives failed in their efforts to change the minds of the advocates of equality, believing as Abzug said, "Democracy can only work for the people when all the people are in it."

Off-year elections

Though 1977 was an off-year on the political scene, elections in several cities and states across the country brought attention to some interesting and some familiar politicians.

A tough battle in the mayoral race in New York City ended in November with Democrat Edward Koch winning the office. Koch defeated Liberal Party candidate Mario Cuomo with a narrow margin of only 125,000 votes. Earlier in the year, Koch upset incumbent Mayor Abraham Beame and colorful U.S. Rep. Bella Abzug in the Democratic primary election.

Another mayoral race was won by a "little old lady in tennis shoes." Opponents of 73-year-old Isabella W. Cannon described her in that way, so the candidate showed up at a meeting carrying a pair of sneakers. Despite heavy opposition, Cannon won the mayoral seat in Raleigh, N.C.

In other elections, Ernest Morial became the first block mayor of New Orleans. Coleman Young, another black mayor, was reelected in Detroit.

November of 1977 proved to be a great time for another political hopeful. Charles Robb, son-in-law of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, captured the lieutenant governor's office in Virginia. With support from Lady Bird Johnson, Carol Channing and Vice-President Walter Mondale, Robb won 54 percent of the votes.

Tony Hulman

Anton J. (Tony) Hulman, who purchased a dilapidated track on the west side of Indianapolis and turned it into "the greatest spectacle in racing" died on Oct. 27

Hulman purchased the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1945 from Eddie Rickenbacker at a price of $750,000. Hulman immediately set about renovating the old track, pouring millions of dollars into the structure. Wooden grandstands were replaced with steel and concrete structures with a seating capacity of 237,500. The old brick track was paved, with the exception of one yard of bricks at the finish line. Today the estimated value of the speedway is $50 million.

Hulman had many other business interests, but the Indianapolis 500 was his first love. His greatest satisfaction was the Speedway Museum, completed just before his death.

Hulman was loved and respected by many of the race drivers at Indy, but he had a particularly close relationship with A.J. Foyt. When Foyt raced across the finish line in 1977 to become the first four-time winner, it provided Hulman with "one of my greatest thrills." At the

time of his death, Hulman was planning on attending a dinner in Foyt's honor.

Perhaps Hulman was best associated with the start of the race, when he would traditionally approach a microphone, look out over the crowd of thousands and shout over the roar of the 33 race cars: "Gentlemen, start your engines."

Governor convicted

Following in the legendary footsteps of his predecessor, Spiro Agnew, Gov. Marvin Mandel became the first American governor in 43 years to be convicted of a crime while in office.

The Maryland Democrat was convicted on 17 counts of mail fraud and one count of racketeering. The charges against Mandel grew out of the secret purchase of a race track by four of his friends in 1971. In 1972, Mandel pushed a bill through the Maryland state legislature that added an extra 18 racing days to the track schedule, thus increasing profits.

Mandel himself received approximately $350,000 in favors from his cronies, including jewelry, plane tickets and shares in business ventures.

During the trial Mandel referred to these financial considerations as innocent gifts . . . Spiro must have been proud.

Steve Biko

He was a 30-year-old black activist, a founder of the South African Student Organization. His name was Steve Biko. One newspaper described him as "perhaps the most important black leader in South Africa."

Biko died of a severe brain damage in a Pretoria prison cell on Sept. 12. Early reports of the death were unclear; the government claimed Biko died after staging an eight-day hunger strike. But soon, the truth came out. Biko suffered "extensive, brain injury, acute renal (kidney) failure and uremia." An autopsy also found evidence of an injury to the left side of his chest.

In an investigation of the death, government authorities discovered that Biko had been shackled and kept naked to prevent him from committing suicide or injuring himself. One day before his death, a naked and unconscious Biko had been transported 750 miles from Port Elizabeth to the Pretoria prison.

Police officials were found innocent of any wrongdoing in the case. According to Colonel Piet Goosen, security chief in Port Elizabeth, "We work with our own powers."

Biko was the twenty-first South African black to die in police custody in the past 18 months.

Riots mar Shah's visit

The Shah of Iran's first U.S. visit in over 2 years was marked by a clash between pro and anti-Shah forces.

As the Iranian leader's armored limousine approached the White House lawn, the trouble began. Anti-Shah forces wearing white masks and wielding nail-studded boards charged the proShah group.

As President Carter began his welcoming speech on the South Lawn, police struggled to keep the two sides apart, using tear gas and billy clubs to quell the rioters. Fumes drifted over the White House lawn, leaving the official party in tears. The riot injured 92 demonstrators and 27 policemen.

The hundreds of disenchanted Iranians opposed the Shah's political prisons and the regime's use of terror and torture. The protesters, most of whom were students, wore white masks to protect them from being photographed by SAVAK, the Iranian secret police.

The Iranian government paid pro-Shah demonstrators to offset the effect of the dissidents. A few of the Iranian nationals reported that they had received air fare, hotel accommodations and $100 to attend the Shah's visit to the White House.

The Iranian leader was here to discuss the purchase of military hardware from the United States. The Iranian government has spent $18 billion in the past eight years on U.S. military weapons.

Sadat visits Israel

With one bold move, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat changed the Middle East situation by traveling to Israel in November. Until the visit was actually accomplished, it was, to most Mideast experts, impossible.

Sadat met with Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin. The two leaders discussed various issues, including what seemed to be the major stumbling block to peace: the issue of a Palestinian homeland. Few actual agreements resulted from the talks.

The importance of Sadat's visit was that the Egyptian president came to Israel, thereby recognizing the country's right to exist. "This corner is yours," Sadat said. "I proclaim to the whole world that we accept a lasting and just peace." Begin replied by saying, "We ask for your hand. Our country is open to the people of Egypt without conditions."

During his historic trip, Sadat addressed Israel's parliament, the Knesset, attended religious services at a Jerusalem mosque and visited a memorial to victims of the Nazi holocaust at Yad Vashem.

Other Arab countries denounced the peace initiative. In some cities, Sadat was called a traitor. No other Arab country joined with Egypt and Israel in peace talks.

Several weeks later, the two leaders met in another round of peace negotiations. Sadat and Begin conferred in Ismailia on Christmas Day. As in their first talks, the leaders again failed to achieve a declaration of principles for a Middle East settlement.

Helms sentenced

Richard Helms, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) made history as he became the first highranking CIA official to be sentenced for a c rime.

Justice Department officials claimed Helms did not provide full and accurate information to a Senate committee. He pleaded "no contest" to two misdemeanors for withholding information about CIA operations against Chilean President Salvadore Allende.

The former director was severely chastised by U.S. District Judge Barrington Parker. At Helms' sentencing, Parker said, "You now stand before this court in disgrace and shame. If public officials embark deliberately on a course to disobey and ignore the laws of our land . . . the future of our country is in jeopardy. From this day forward, let there be no doubt that no one in government is above the law."

For his crimes, Helms was fined $2,000 and placed on one year's unsupervised probation. The former CIA director had served in government positions for 33 years, including a 3-year term as ambassador to Iran.

Panamanians generally favored the treaty, but objected to the U.S. right to intervene militarily in defense of the canal and demanded earlier transfer of the territory to Panama.

Canal negotiations were launched 13 years ago by former President Lyndon Johnson as a result of violence along the waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A vote on the treaty, which needed a two-thirds Senate majority for ratification, was expected in March.

Panama Canal Treaty

Gut opposition from grass-roots America threatened passage of the Panama Canal Treaty, signed on Sept. 7. The pact, a major foreign policy objective of the Carter administration, would give Panama full control of the international waterway and its 500-square mile canal zone by the year 2000.

Confusion about details of the treaty and fear that Panama would use the canal as a military and economic threat caused doubts about its passage. As the pact stood, the U.S. and Panama would "have the responsibility to assure that the Panama Canal will remain open and secure to ships of all nations," and, in case of emergency, U.S. vessels "may go to the head of the line."

Sirica steps down

Judge John Sirico, the federal judge presiding over most of the Watergate cases, stepped down from full duty in October.

Si rica, who received the nickname "Maximum John" for the stiff sentences he often gave, said he would continue to handle civil cases as a "senior judge."

For his tough handling of the Watergate trials, Sirica was named Time Magazine's "Man of the Year." After his retirement, he was honored a second time with praise from President Carter. Sirica is "a lasting symbol of unflinching devotion to duty," Carter said. "The judge has been given an opportunity afforded to few of us who enter public service to exhibit, at a time of the greatest challenge to our system of government, the personal courage and wisdom needed to sustain it," Carter added.

Bing Crosby

In October, America lost one of its most beloved entertainers when Bing Crosby, 73, died of a heart attack.

The "Crooner" became an overnight sensation in 1931 with his version of "When the Blue of Night Meets the Gold of Day." Crosby was characterized by his smooth voice and effortless singing, along with his famous bu-bu-bu-buing between the phrases of songs. Of the 300 million records he sold, two of the most popular were "White Christmas" and "Silent Night."

During his 50-year show business career, Crosby made 50 films. Among the most famous and best-loved of his movies are the seven "Road" comedies which Bing made with Dorothy Lamour and longtime friend Bob Hope. Crosby won an Oscar in 1944 for his role as a priest in "Going My Way."

He suffered the heart attack while walking back to the clubhouse of the La Moraleja Golf Course outside Madrid, Spain. He won his last round.

Liddy paroled

"East of the sun and west of the moon." That was G. Gordon Liddy's destination after his release from a federal prison at Danbury, Conn.

Liddy, the mastermind of the Watergate burglary, served 52 months of his 20-year maximum sentence. In the spring of 1977, President Carter commuted that sentence to an 8-year term for Liddy.

Before he gained his parole in September, Liddy declared himself a pauper, claiming his worth to be less than $20. He made special arrangements to pay his $40,000 fine to federal authorities. Liddy's neighbors started a fund-raising drive to help pay his debts.

Lance resigns

Bert Lance was forced to resign as Director of the Office of Management and Budget after questionable items were revealed about his personal finances. He had accumulated $2 million in potential overdrafts on his accounts in two Georgia banks.

Lance's troubles created the first major crisis in President Carter's administration. Before his resignation, Lance appeared before a Senate committee investigating his business affairs. For a short while, some administration members felt that Lance's dignified testimony had saved his job. The euphoria quickly died, however, as the Senate committee hammered away at Lane.

President Carter, a close, personal friend of Lance's, was reluctant to let the director resign. But finally both Carter and Lance agreed that resignation was the best course to follow. In his final statement, Lance said, "I am convinced that I can continue to be an effective Director of the Office of Management and Budget. However, because of the amount of controversy and the continuing nature of it, I have decided to submit my resignation as Director of the OMB."

Some people accused the press of hounding Lance out of office. Democratic Rep. John Flynt of Georgia said that Lance was "charged, tried and convicted by a lynch mob." At the time of his resignation, Lance and President Carter felt that the director had been treated fairly.

In early January, Lance assumed duties as a commentator for WXIA-TV in Atlanta.

Guy Lombardo

Over the past 48 years, the music of Guy Lombardo and his orchestra, the Royal Canadians, became an important part of the New Year's tradition. Millions of Canadians and Americans danced across confetti-covered floors to the melodies of Lombardo's band. As streamers and balloons fell from above, party-goers rang in the New Year with verses of "Auld Lang Syne."

This year, the creator of "the sweetest music this side of heaven" was absent from all the New Year's festivities. A breathing problem associated with pulmonary artery trouble took the life of Guy Lombardo on Nov. 5. The 75-yearold musician had led a band for 63 years.
