Show moreFlorida's Attorney General Robert Shevin visits Indian River State College in 1975. Mr. Shevin gave a short speech and then followed with a question and answer session. The topics included his reasons for Florida's rising crime rate, which he listed as tourism, growing population, open coastlines, unemployment, and the lack of rehabilitation when criminals are released from jail. During the question and answer sessions, he speculated on topics that included mass media reporting, legalization of marijuana, property line setbacks, and recent changes in the Supreme Court. Mr. Shevin concluded his Q & A with his thoughts on capital punishment, in which he stated he is in favor of the death penalty. Robert L. Shevin was Florida's Attorney General from 1971-1979. During his visit to Indian River State College in 1975, he was questioned on his opinion of the new Supreme Court ruling, allowing rape victims names to be released in the press. This ruling was decided in the Supreme Court case Cox Broadcasting Corp v. Cohn, just shy of a month before Shevin appeared at the College. A television reporter, employed by an appellant broadcasting station, during a news report of a rape case, released a deceased rape victim's name. The victim's father brought action against the broadcasting station, claiming his right to privacy had been violated. Martin Cohn, the victim's father, originally succeeded in court by suing WSB and the reporter, claiming it violated Georgia's shield law and his common-law right to privacy. Before the case could proceed at state trial court, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear Cox's appeal. The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of Cox broadcasting, holding Georgia's shield law and its common-law counterpart violated the First Amendment. Since Cox's reporter obtained the name in a public document in open court, the court held that later publication was actively protected by the First Amendment. Summary and historical context provided by Jamie Cairns as part of Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

A political cartoon addresses the nationally occurring culture wars of the 1960's. A political cartoon gives us a local perspective of a national political and social issue regarding cultural wars of the 1960's; warning students of "the gap" between conservative Americans and those following the anti-war peace movements. Both groups are fighting for what they believe is right for the United States; depicted is an eagle being strangled as both parties pull to have it on their side. The strangled eagle highlights the harm caused by this cultural gap among Americans. Summary and historical context created by Whitney Durcharme as part of Dr. Michelle Carraigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

The club gathered to keep veterans informed about developments in the educational-aid benefits being awarded by the government. The club also served as a way for veterans to have their voice to be heard about payments delays from the Veterans Administration. The article is historically significant because it shows how the Vietnam War directly affected people returning from war in our area. It also shows how veterans gathered to voice their concerns about the educational aid being provided by the government and how they became invested in their student government.
