Dance, Dance classes, Required courses, Susquehanna University
A new requirement for music majors in 1972 was three courses in dance, such as Instruction in ballet techniques and body training, jazz or modern interpretive dancing, and the techniques of instructing children in dance. The objective of the dance courses for music majors was to give the student "enough training in choreography so that they will be able to incorporate dance into their productions" later on when they become music teachers. Take note that the men in the photograph decided against wearing leotards.

Susquehanna University Young Democrats, McGovern, George, Presidential elections, Susquehanna University
Your vote counts, well, this might be a poor example. Susquehanna University Young Democrats showed their support for their party’s nominee, George McGovern. Members of the group are shown here hanging campaign signs around campus. Unfortunately for McGovern, the support of the Young Democrats wasn’t enough to put him in the White House. He lost the 1972 Presidential election to Richard M. Nixon.
