Plumetting farmland and crop values coupled with Reagan's cuts in many of the farmers' subsidies have forced many into bankrupcy. President Reagan's visit to the Bitiburg cemetery in West Germany, where 47 German SS troops of World War II are buried, was marked with protests by American Iews, who were outraged at what seemed to be a mockery to those Allies who served in the war. Protests were staged and many war veterans mailed their war medals to Reagan in objection to the visit. There's a new hope for peace as Mikhail Gorbachev took over the rule of the U.S.S.R. afer the death of Konstantin Chernenko. His willingness to talk with world leaders gives an optimistic outlook to future U.S.-So- viet relations.

The homes of 50,000 people were destroyed. Problems came closer to home when Cathleen Webb publicly re- tracted her earlier charge of rape against Gary Dotson. Her confession came a little late as Dotson had already served six years in prison i . ,eg . F' itil e 'ui 3, despite his innocence. In the medical news, Murry P. Haydon, a 58-year-old assembly line worker, joined William Schroeder as the third recipient of a permanent artificial heart. Do you now understand the meaning of Zeitgeist? Yeah, it's the overall feeling of Dundee in 1985. It's our attitude, our styles, and our events that make us unique and give Dundee High School's Zeitgeist of 1985. It was a question of murder or self defense as Bernard Geotz will stand trial for the shooting of four teenagers who attempted to mug him in a New York subway car in December of 1984. Singing star Billy Ioel and Cover Girl model Christy Brinkley exchanged vows in a small, but highly publicized wedding in April. Closmgfl-11
