ON MMON »» The world surrounding JMU affected the daily lives of students. Foreign crises weighed on our minds and political events caused us to raise our voices. As students braced themselves for a school year sure to be relatively comfortable, a small country in Cen- tral America was facing a fearful time as civil unrest divided the country of Haiti. The U.S. stationed troops in Haiti in an attempt to main- tain order. Across our own nation, the health care controversy continued as Clinton ' s health care plan pushed for complete coverage for all people. Citizens everywhere became involved and voiced their opinions, hoping to make a difference in the outcome of the program. Conflict stirred within the political arena. 01i er North, the Republican candidate for governor, and Marion Barry, candidate for mayor of D.C. re- entered the political w orld in hopes of redeeming their pasts. Students around campus advocated their political opinions by setting up tables of information about the possible candidates for the gubernatorial race and attending political rallies. There was no way for students to avoid the occurrences of the world. The events that took place around the world strengthened and influenced the microcosm that students created at JMU. Opening 13
