by Holly DeFoy 1976, like every year, has been both happy and sad . But unlike every year, it's headlines have reflected drastic changes in our government, morals, recre­ ation . . . Virtually every person has had call to sit up and listen to their surroundings, whether on a city­ wide, state-wide, nation-wide, world-wide, or even a universe-wide level. Some traditions have been broken ; others have been started. Some crooks have been brought to justice; others have been set free. Some of our " idols " have shined before the eyes of millions; Qthers have fallen beneath our feet. Now, before 1976 comes to an end , reflect. Are we " on course? " Or have we lost our direct ion? " Only t ime will tell."
