Perot causes chaos by Stacia Hood ew things usually bring excitement and enthusiasm, but not always. Some new things have caused chaos, complaints and a lot of extra paperwork by teachers and hardwork- ing students involved in ex- tracurricular activities. Some of these new things can be found listed under the head- line: HOUSE BILL 72. Beginning in the spring se- mester of 1985, and, except for honors and advanced classes, a student must main- tain the equivalent of 70 or better on a 100 scale in all DURING COLLEGE Night Mrs. Connie Zimmer and Ms. Moss dis- cuss Ross Perot and his essential elements. academic classes for each six weeks to participate in ex- tracurricular activities the following six weeks. Many teachers responded differently to House Bill 72. lt will hurt us in a lot of ways because all of our ath- letes will have to pass all of their classes in order to par- ticipate in sports, said head baseball coach Benny jones. English teacher Melody DeMattia disagreed with Coach jones. Academically the new house bill is great because students will leave high school more informed and more ready for college and work, she said. Administrationf237

Rush begins at 11:24 by Andy Dixon chool days always seemed long and bor- ing, at least until 11:24, then it got interesting. Students from all over the school rush the doors of the cafeteria, thus beginning the state of confusion called lunch. All classes ventured to lunch at their own pace. Freshmen ran, sophomores walked fast lsometimes run- ningl, juniors strutted, and seniors entered casually, not really caring what went on. Why did they go to the cafeteria-for the food, and who prepares that? No one ever gives credit to the people that make lunch what it is, the chefs of the cafeteria. A staff of 16 la- bored for hours preparing the lunch food we enjoyed devouring. These ladies enjoyed cer- tain days like hamburger day and chicken fried steak day, much like the students. My favorite is when we have Crispitos, said Mrs. Fuller. The day they have cheese enchiladas is Mrs. Oster- man's favorite, while Mrs. Smith's favorite day is the chicken fried steak day be- cause it makes the students happy- STACY STEPHENSON just c0uldn'l go without her regular Thursday lunch of hamburgers from Mrs. Smith.

ational election brings Woman into spotlight by Nancy St. Pierre he presidential elec- tions brought on some surprises, controversy, and history-making events and candidates. Ronald Rea- gan represented the Repub- lican Party and began his bid for a second term in re-elec- tion. Walter Mondale repre- sented the Democratic party after his vice-presidential experience more than four years ago after jimmy Carter lost to president Reagan in 1980. President Reagan once again ran with George Bush. Mondale took a twist in his campaign. He opted to choose a woman for a run- ning mate. This, of course, was a first in political history. No woman had ever run for a major position in the gov- ernment. Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to be on the ticket for a presi- dential election. With Ferraro came much controversy as her husband was under investigation by the IRS. This brought many negative aspects to the Democratic campaign and Mondale's chances at the presidency. With all the con- troversy and problems Mon- dale had, he lost the election by a wide margin. President Reagan won 49 of the 50 states in the election. Already in the way were obstacles when President Reagan took his second term. Among some of the problems he faced in the be- ginning of his second four year term included the con- troversy over his visit to Ger- many and visiting a cemetary where WWII German Secret Service agents were buried, and the Star Wars protection plan. SIXTY MINUTES reporter, Ed Bradley, visited DHS this year to film one of the many sequels for the series that covers many events that affect the entire world.
