Although most heard those words the fol- lowing day, the Constituion required the oath to be taken January 20. Since that was a Sunday and also Super Bowl day, Reagan decided to postpone the public ceremony until the next day. Monday brought sub-zero temperatures. The ceremony, usually conducted outside, was brought indoors. I think putting it inside made everyone throughout the country feel closer to- gether, said freshman Tim Williamson. Reagan was only the second man to be elect- ed to two terms since 1957. In January he was one of the most popular presidents of modern times, according to Newseek Magazine. I think Reagan was the best man for the job because he always said what the people wanted to hear, said Sally Bredemeyer. — Heidi Bieberich While discussing ihe plans Fetraro talks on the phone.

Los Angeles Gets A Torch Los Angeles, Mary Lou Retten, Edwin Moses and Lionel Richie all had one thing in common. All were involved in the Summer Olympics. Los Angeles hosted the Games, outstanding performances were executed by Moses and Ret- ton in track and gymnastics respectively, and Richie performed All Night Long during the closing ceremony. Retton was the first woman from the L ' nited States to win the All -Around competition in gymnastics. I feel her success was predeter- mined on the basis of her extreme effort and dedication in practicing. There is also a correla- tion between her instant success and her ability to perform in pressure situations, said senior Andy Knudten, a real fan. I enjoyed the rhythmic gymnastics which was a new event in the Olympics, said senior John Bakalar. The thing I remembered most about the Olympics was the togetherness of the crowd, said sophomore Paul Smith. — Heidi Biebench Mary Lou Retton had a posi- tive attitude which was confi- dence, not cockiness, and her smile shows it. — Andy Knudten Heart Beats: Research Goes On Most people took for granted that they had healthy hearts able to provide their bodies with all the blood they needed. That wasn ' t the case with Mr. William Schroeder. Schroeder was the second human to be fitted with an artificial heart. I think using an artifi- cial heart was good because if God didn ' t want us to preserve a man ' s life. He wouldn ' t have let us get so far in the success of the heart trans- plant, said ]unior Randy Patterson. Because he only had a short time to live, Schroeder agreed to the heart transplant by Dr. William DeVries in November. Although he was two years over the maximum age for the operation and had diabetes, the operation was undertaken. The Schroeder family was aware of the risks, but tried to look only at the positive results. I was glad the Schroeder family decided to go through with the heart transplant because even if he wouldn ' t have lived, the knowledge gained would have been worth it, said sopho- more Matt Stoudt. By February Schroeder was able to walk, eat solid foods and was happy just to have gotten the chance to live a little longer. He looked forward to being able to leave the hospital. Because of the success of Schroeder ' s trans- plant, another transplant was undertaken with a Louisville, KY man in March. Another controversial heart transplant in- volved a child nicknamed Baby Fae. An im- properly developed heart at birth led to the implant of a seven month old baboon ' s heart in the infant. Baby Fae lived 20 days longer and then died of kidney failure. I was happy about the success shown with all the different things they could do with hearts, it was a real comfort to others in the same situation, said junior Laura Heilman. — Heidi Biebench After recei int the baboon ' s heart.
