The fear of contracting AlD's created a major medical panic on nearly every conti- nent. Wide-spread publicity increased public awareness of the disease, and, some experts said, began changing sexual behavior. fPages from the Bill- ings Gazettej INT B 9 ofrzetlssu 0, QW ' M, Q. na,:N Q .

THE REAL PICTURE. Crises in the world kept the country in a state of alert. The year of '87, with its ter- rorists, arms races, and AIDS epidemic became known as the year of fear. iPhoto by Tina Skoglundi 4 My biggest fear was the crack down on DLll's QDriving Under the ln- fluencej. lt's scary to think of my friends driving drunk. - Mike Larson My biggest fear was the outlaw of steroids. - Mike VanTine ,Ll1.ll--1- I feared the events in the Persian Gulf and Latin America X because the CLS. could get involved, and then l could get drafted. - Steve Sukin 1 8 Student Life IM Q XS' is fam 40635 Sox 53 g as, if .

Withscrises in every corner of the world, students found little to smile about. Students suffered from many phobias: fear of the Ira- nian crisis, fear of getting AIDS, fear of crack addiction, and fear of nuclear war between the super powers. The best way to cure these phobias, students thought, was to avoid discussing these topics. They avoided discussing anything distinguishable by ad- ding Ujibbering jibbish to their vocabularies. I always catch myself using slang words. I have a hard time with my parents because they don't speak the same said. Expressions meant exactly the opposite of what was said. This confused parents and teachers and made com- munication difficult. Students used expressions Iike Hi, smart meaning one is not real- ly smart, but acting rather stupid. Or Ya rudie meaning a nerd or geek, and even cute girl which was basically a sar- castic remark aimed at nobody in particular. Other phrases included Oh my, that is deep, and That's weak. These expressions found their way into many of the stu- and it became increasingly clear exactly just what each one meant-clear to the students, that is. When I first started teaching, students favored expression was 'real georgef I don't even know if kids even knew what it meant. For sure, I didn't. Since then, I've had less trouble ffiguring out what kids meantjf' English teacher Charles Nesbit said. Students used these expres- sions to avoid unwanted topics - an avoidance syndrome suitable for students who wanted to enjoy their last days in high school before reality set in-U -Michelle sukin
