Opening Editorial Looking Back on 1982-83 By Wanda Cudger Editor-in-Chief As I reflect on l982-83, I feel sadden- ed by the state of the world and yet I feel happiness and thanks for being able to take part in what was a prosperous school year. I realize that my staff and I are lucky people to have had the chance to produce this book for you and even to be in school because of our president's new economic plan e the plan, I call it, that was supposed to give us all economic freedom and deliver us from proverty. Needless to say, his economic recovery plan worked out to be just the opposite. Unemployment was up to 10.4996, its first time in dou- ble Figures since the depression. The Christian Militias killed thousands of in- nocent women and children in West Beriut causing the President to send American troops in to stand watch. When that happened, I begin to think about Vietnam because American troops were sent there to stand guard. Could it be that history is to repeat itself before the close of the year? Upon returning to school in September. I missed so many familiar Faces, approx? imately 500, those were the number of students who didn't return because federal monies were not available. It br- ings tears to my eyes to think that a man who is supposed to be educated could deprive poor people from receiv- ing an education. Does he not realize that poor peopie are the majority of the population and if not educated, our society may end up uneducated. The Klan planned a march on the Capital, however, very little came of that. Operation Push boycotted Anheuser Busch, demanding that they put back into the Black Community some of the monies that we invested into their com- pany. Democrats widened their margin in the House of Representatives, which may or may not Cause Reagan to alter his course. Those were just some of the Highlights of the year, but all in all it was a year to be remembered. 1 would like to express a sincere thanks to the staff who worked so very hard to pro- duce a book of the highest quality. This year is one that will be remembered in the minds of all and truly . . . A year to Review.
