them of concerns about the monies

Carter remembered for vision
of future and human rights
By David Alvin
Staff Writer
This is the
first in a series of
articles about Jimmy
Carter. We will he
running a series of
articles about Carter
until his visit on Oct.
26, andwill then have
complete coverage
of his visit.
As president, James Earl
(Jimmy Carter). Jr. came with and
left behind an idealist's vision of a
better tomorrow for all our people.
Elected to office with a
broad popular appeal in 1976, Carter
attempted—and i n several areas succeeded— inlbrmulatingand promoting domestic policy initiatives that
preserved human dignity as well as
fostered mutual trust and respect
among individuals and nations.
The Camp David Accords
leading to the Egyptian-Israeli peace
treaty (the first peace declared between Israel and an Arab state), the
Panama Canal Treat)- and the improvement of diplomatic relations
wilh the People's Republic of China
were among the Carter
administration's foreign policy
masterstrokes.
National policy flourished as well, with
the creation of the
Department of Energy, the Department of Education,
and the introduction
of major environmental protection
legislation such as
the Alaska Lands
Act.
Civil rights and
human rights also
played a large role
during Carter's term in office: the
support of British policy to end
civil war in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and the appointment of
minorities and women to the federal judician were testimony to
the political clout ofthe administration here and abroad.
Although Ronald Regan
won the 1980 Presidential election by a landslide and served for
eight years. Jimmy Carter is still
perhaps the most well-known and
well-regarded former president of
the Un itcd States for his four vca rs
of service.
TheCarter
administration's changes in domestic and foreign policv continue to affect the world todav
