This issue of the Pioneer Post includes an article called "Veterans Organize at IRSC." Vietnam Veterans organized at IRSC to form "Delta Omicron Mu" as a veteran's club. 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.

This issue of the Pioneer Press includes the article "The Teetotoalling Days are Over". This article manly focuses the viewpoint of the draw backs of drinking whether or not the user is underage. The Author also stresses the fact that there is a need to raise the drinking age across the whole country in order to try and prevent under age citizens from drive from one state to another one whose legal drinking age is lower. This was all in the attempt to decrease the number of fatal car crashes across and within state boundaries. This is historically significant due to the fact that thought the early 70s and all the way till the late 90s there was a big push to raise the drinking age in all states across the country. This was due to the fact that the number of fatal car accidents were at an all time high. This movement to try to reduce the number of fatal crashes became a issue on the national stage in the early 1980. Mothers against Drunk Driving, which was created on September 5, 1980 in California, sought to spread awareness across both the United States and Canada of the dangers of drunk driving as well as driving under the influence of other drugs.

This issue of Pioneer Post includes the political cartoon "Henry David Thoreau is born from a baloonery". This political cartoon focuses on some of the significant issues going on during 1971 such as debates on pollution and overpopulation among the U.S. People believed that foreign immigration to the U.S. and the amount of reproduction was causing overpopulation and was viewed as polluting America. Protesters were in an attempt to put a halt on immigration and slow down the amount of reproduction by the use of condoms and birth control. This article sheds light on how overpopulation was viewed as pollution to the U.S. At the time period, people believed that this would result in less food, more homes to create, and overall non beneficial for the United States. This article also shows some of the ways that people influenced and motivated protests towards these issues going on.

Description
At one time, memory was recorded by story tellers who kept oral records
of the past. Since mankind has moved from an oral to a literate culture,
documenting narratives and experiences has been the objective of writers
and photographers. In this second issue of The Indian River Review, our
contributors share their creative memories in different forms. Poets tell us
about an overhead conversation that stings with criticism, a lost love who
seems to disappear, a summer afternoon that stretches far ahead. Other authors
carve out stories of their ancestors never met and parents they idolized. These
textual memories are mixed in this issue with photographic evidence of time,
moments of time that have been stopped for us to examine closely. The editors
hope our readers will enjoy these shared memories a much as we have.
