When an ad hoc group of students representing several third world student organizations last month demanded that the University officially recognize Asian-American students as members of a minority group, it scored only a partial victory. For while Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, agreed to include Asian-American students in future programs for minorities sponsored by his office, he declined to endorse their demand for minority status...
There was also in key Northern states like New York the partial return of urban ethnic and Catholic voters after the defection over McGovern.

The South Side of Milwaukee was largely responsible for Carter's surprising win in Wisconsin; the mainly Polish, Lithuanian and South Slav voters of that area gave him a vote upwards of 55 per cent...
Coat of Arms. Superstition and tribal customs still abound in the Transkei, though there are many signs of modernization.

Hunched over the piano, a spindly Ichabod partial to wide-brimmed swamper hats, Stewart invites everybody to get loose to something like his own Hank Western, with a weakness for "any good-lookin' woman, any kind of booze." The delivery, in a tight, nasal tenor voice, is as seasoned as the inside of an old spittoon, but heartfelt. Says Stewart: "It's all a poor man's music that talks about troubles...
