The candidates didn't raise any conDversial issues, as they had at a previous debate at Nashua High :hool in New Hampshire. Bush was, by far, the most accessible of the mdidates, jogging with supporters at the P.E. center and speaking with udents at Capstone. TWO HUNDRED STUDENTS were able to attend the debate and ose who couldn't, waited outside Longstreet, cheering their favorite mdidates and chanting, "Slim Whitman for President." Inside, the mdidates discussed nuclear energy, national and international affairs nong other things. On March 8, it was clear that George Bush didn't ake such a big hit with the people of South Carolina, as Ronald Reagan -vept the S.C. primary, collecting 54 percent of the vote. 6.

The holding of American hostages in Iran brought angry tension to JSC as students harassed Iranian students, shot a bullet through an ranian's window, called them with sayings such as "1 wish my people vill stay safe or there will be revenge." Although most of them diu not :ondone the actions of the Ayatollah Khomeini, they firmly believed hat the Shah should be returned to Iran. A USC PROFKSSOIt FELT that the U.S. would try to reinstate the >hah in Iran. Another said the Iranians are not anti-American, but antiAmerican government.
