v1 'Wews'. ON THE RUN'Z' how easily the word and the phrase tit together. This past year, not only the reporters, but the readers and hsteners have been kept on the edge at their seats wondering what event would occur next. The headlines bounced from Wash- ington to Moscow to tran to Heaven. this year the news eidn't even have the courtesy to stay on the ground We ca vered events in the air and in outer space, 0t course it was hat only the international and nationai news that interested us most. We often concerned ourselves with local newsworthy events. We also gota'eepiy in voived in the happenings around the campus. Yes, this past year has been one to remember. The news section is a new one for the Rochety-i We felt that the yearhoooir should not only he a pictorial history of the campus for the year, but should also he a reminder of what happened during a year we spent at Augustana Cohege. Memories of our cottage experience should not be limited to the cot- tege itself, but should encompass zit that concerned as during our stay. We hope that the news section will accommodate this need. in this section we have covered stories from a campus perspective, a local perspective, and an inteanatianai perspective. We have tried to cover all of the more relevant stories, stories with both heightened importance and inter- est. Years from now we wih' be able to took hack on our days at Augustana and retail the Battier af- fair , trenscam, and flight at the Voyager, Gary Hart the deahngs at tit, and even the 'Eniightenhig ot Jth Avenue. hit at these stories have had an impact on our lives this past year. The news has certainhi been ON THE RUN this past year, we hope that this section wiit enable aii to recapture the memories of it.
