A huge divide was rumbling not only in the U.S. but around the world. Some people saw this change an act of evil. Fundamentalist Christians saw this time as an attack on morals. Most attention in the media was on the progressive movements going on at that time. There were just as many people who did not support this movement especially conservatives. The author talks about the “lazy Americans” the Americans who question everything but gets nothing done. The author is saying that if America keeps on its current path that the Soviet Union will dominate the world because Americans were becoming too weak.

Show moreThis issue of the Pioneer Press includes an article called "Selective Service". During the early 1970s, the Selective Service System explained a few changes to their policy on undergraduate student deferments or postponements. For the colleges students who were already enrolled full-time for the 70-71 academic year would be eligible deferments in the upcoming academic year depending on how well the perform academically in their individual areas of study. But, those who had enrolled during the summer or incoming freshmen would not qualify as deferments, if and only if these awaiting changes are passed by congress. They are less likely to be inducted in the future because of the deferment phase out. Due to the phase out, approximately half would be directly affected and probably not be enlisted. Director of Selective Service stated that college students will not be drafted mid semester. Incoming freshmen were advised not to apply for student deferments even though the existing law did allow admitting deferments to students enrolling full-time. A large percentage of men with deferments lose their delay privileges during a one-year period due to fatherhood, work, or other student deferments. This item might be relevant to local researchers because it has important information about the Vietnam War and the draft. It contains vital information explaining what the Selective Service System is composed of. This resource will be very helpful to those who would like to investigate exactly what was going on locally in the 1970s in regards to Selective Service and the war. For example, which men were considered, what age group was more dominant, what were the restrictions to the young men admitted, why some men were not admitted or even considered, the process of admitting, etc. There is very resourceful information about this event and what was happening locally. Summary and historical context created by Natalia Garcia 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.

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.

Show moreThis Pioneer Post mainly spoke about the new Stuart campus of IRSC. This campus is the largest campus other than the main campus in Ft. Pierce. The Stuart campus was small to begin with only six class rooms. The location expanded and the Chastain campus grew. In addition to the campus being built and expanded extra staff and faculty were needed. The school took $360,000 to finish building after the campus was cleaned up from construction they let students in. This artifact is important to local researchers because this campus opened right in our own backyard. It is a great location historians could come teach or learn about the surrounding community. This is highly significant to the community because it is a new campus for students to come to instead of having to go to Ft. Pierce. Summary and historical context created by Anthony Cannata as part of Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.
