Campus voting surge reshapes 1972 youth electorate
Legal opinions clear the way for college students to vote on campus in the fall national election. About 4.5 million student voters aged 18 to 21, with registration leaning Democratic about 2 to 1, are expected to vote for McGovern if he is the nominee. Two thirds will vote on campus, while a third live at home. The Supreme Court ruling on residency enables freshmen to vote on campus, making the youth vote large and influential depending on broader turnout.

California's Fateful Oasis and Smog Rolled into Bluff
A reflective feature on Los Angeles and Southern California in 1972 contrasts the La Brea Tar Pits and regional growth with political battles over Proposition 9, the Los Angeles Times ambitions, and a culture shaped by smog, neon, and media power. It notes Northern California drift, Berkeley radicals, and pop culture figures while asking why one in ten Americans live there. Shirley MacLaine is quoted on slow motion life and smog hurting eyes.
