26 World Events , Feature story by Desiree Tulleners ln addition to the daily routine of school, world events were also on the minds of students as we made the transition into the 80's. 4980 was an election year. Candidates Reagan, Carter and Anderson were involved in the strategies of political cam- paigning, while the world kept moving: inflation, recession, unemployment, riots and ter- rorism all took their toll. In a landslide victory, Ronald Reagan became the 40th President of the United States. Only two months into his term, an assassination attempt was made on the President's life by John Hinkley, a 25 year old Colorado man. In excellent shape, the 70 year old Presi- dent recovered quickly from the gunshot wound and re- sumed performing the duties of his office. After AAA days, the 52 Ameri- can hostages, held captive by Iranian militants, came home. The story of their ordeal read like a spy novel: Canada sneaking six Americans out of Iran in the first days following the embassy take-over, threats of Iranian spy trials for the hostages, a secret rescue attempt in April of 4980 by U.S. military commandos ending in a fiery crash and eight dead and on-again off-again nego- tiations for the captives' re- lease. The hostages finally re- turned home to an ecstatic welcome of symbolic yellow ribbons and ticker-tape pa- rades as the U.S. received' them with open arms. A sudden invasion of Afghani- stan by Soviet soldiers trig- gered fresh fears throughout the world. In protest, President Carter dropped his advocacy of SALT ll and announced ab- ruptly that the U.S. athletes should boycott Moscow's Sum- mer Olympics. The Summer Olympics were boycotted.
