RIOT ERUPTS AT O.P. PRO The I9S6 Ocean Pacific Pro Surfing championship took place in Huntington Beach over six days which included La- bor Day Weekend. Bleachers were set up on the sand to accomodate some of the 30,000 specta- tors that turned out for the competi- tion. It was behind the southern bleach- ers that a riot erupted. A group of beachgoers milling around the backside of these bleachers were being teased by a couple of girls who were revealing a bit of their bodies S-SOVIET SUMMIT During October of I986, Mik- hail Gorbachev proposed to meet Reagen in Reykjavik, Iceland. Termed a pre-summit summit, this meeting put the U.S.-Soviet relations back into circulation. Although the meeting was based upon the Star Wars and nuclear reduction issues, other topics were discussed. Various cultural topics were also on the agenda. Upon conclusion of the meeting, representatives were noted as stating that it was only the be- ginning of a major summit. to them. The small group became larger, as the onlookers insisted on see- ing more of these girls, and soon a crowd had gathered. Police officers, arriving to see what was going on, were suddenly pelted with bottles and garbage as the crowd turned on them. Outnumbered, the officers fled to the lifeguard headquarters and called the HB police helicopter. The helicopter dipped a few yards off the ground try- ing to break up the crowd, but was only driven back by bottles and umbrellas. Soon, a group of people turned over a police car, spilling highway flares out of the trunk which led to a car fire. It eventually took over l60 peace officers to beat the mob back with nightsticks. Even through all the confusion and disbelief, Australian surfer Mark Occhi- Iupo became the winner of the l986 O.P. Pro, with a 58,000 check to prove it OY GER M KES HISTORY Voyager- the dream of flying not higher, but farther, not fas- ter, but longer. An attempt at an around-the-world flight without stopping and without refueling. The flight was made by pilots Dick Rutan and .leana Yeager who were accompanied by the plane designer, Burt Rutan. The voyager was put together by men who were determined to build a dream. The whole body was made of Hexcel Honeycomb. This creation was made without one cent of government money. Discomfort, noise, and anxiety made the trip extremely chal- lenging. Instant meals and weather problems only added to the challenge. At I I0 miles per hour with a wingspan of I I I feet, the Voyager made it home with fuel to spare. The dream was accomplished and the Voy- ager was the first plane to fly around the world nonstop.

This was to help free U.S. hostages, The President authorized Robert McFarlane to tell the Israelis that the U.S. would replace arms they shipped to Iran. On February 26, I987, the Tower Commission confirmed these actions. The President admitted that while he did approve the transfer of weapons by Israel, he did not authorize this action in August of I985. In addition, profits from this arms deal were secretly sent to the Contras in Nicaragua. An investigation was conducted to determine how involved the Reagan administration was in this scandal. At press time, the investiga- tion was still under way, 238 News On April 28, l9S6, technicians at the Swedish Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant noticed devastating signals moving across their computer screens, which uncovered abnormally high levels of ra- diation. Engineers searched frantically in their own reactors but found noth- ing. Spring snow and rain was falling over Finland as the same strange signals were being detected in this area, but experts knew that the source was not coming from their country. They imme- diately turned their suspicions to their I .gil southward neighbor, the Soviet Union. Apparently the trouble began on Sat- urday, April 26, at the Chernobyl Nu- clear Power Plant in the Soviet Union. A problem occurred in the uranium fuel rods. where superheated steam trig- gered a series of reactions leading to a meltdown of the fuel and a blast that ripped through the building. As the outside air rushed in, oxygen in the atmosphere fueled a fire in the graph- ite, throwing a load of fuel volatile ra- dioactive elements into the air.

Her op- ponent in the most recent election was Ferdinand Marcos, who was accused of forcing voters to vote in his favor. The Phillipine public turned against him, leaving him no choice but to return to his home in Hawaii. Aquino was a housewife and mother of five. ln an interview with Time, Aquino stated, I have a long memory for people who have helped me. but I have a longer memory for people who have stood in my way. She displayed the facts that any ordinary person could take on such problems as the foreign debt of 27 billion dollars, 20,000 invad- ing communist guerrillas, and many other governmental complications. SPORTS REVIEW: A SURPRISING YE R The I986-87 year in sports was a year of surprises. Most pre-season picks were crushed by teams that had been unsuccessful for years. The Red Sox of Boston were in the Baseball World Se- ries for the first time. They fell to the New York Mets in six games. The New York Giants were in the Superbowl, which was at Pasadena's Rose Bowlg they faced the Denver Broncos. The Broncos won the AFC Championship by defeating the Cleveland Browns in overtime. John Elway, along with the rest of the Orange Crush , was crushed by the Giants 39-2I. On the collegiate grid iron, the Pennsylvania State Nittany Lions, i752 in the nation, blew down the University of Miami Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl to win 240 News the National Championships on a last second interception by Shane Conlan. Revenge was the motivation behind the destruction of the Aussies by Den- nis Connor and the crew of The Stars and Stripesin the America's Cup Yaght- ing finals. In the largest margin of vic- tory in history, the Americans sailed over Australia to take back the Ameri- ca's Cup after its three year stay in the land down under. In golfing news, Jack the Golden Bear Nicholas won the PGA's Master's Tournament, and, in the biggest surprise of the year, the young American Greg Lemond became the first American to ever win cycIing's biggest event, the grueling Tour de France. On the not so surprising side the I8 year old German sensation Boris Becker won the Wimbleton tennis tour- nament. Argentina made the news with a World Cup soccer victory. In spite of the many sports victories, this was also the year drugs collided head on with the world of sports. The Len Bias tragedy made the public and sports officials aware of the link be- tween drugs and sports. Len Bias over- dosed on cocaine the day after he was chosen first in the draft by the Boston Celtics. Soon after, officials in most ma- jor sports began a crack down on drug use. The biggest controversy was brought to attention when Brian Bos- worth, the stand out linebacker of Oak- Iahoma University, was suspended from the bowl game for steroid use, as were thirty other college football players.
