STATE ‘Sin amendments’ pass, Hayden governor Kansas. The people of this Bible Belt state de- cided that they were not going to be left behind any- more. On Nov. 4, 64% of the voters said “yes in favor of constitutional amend- ments that will authorize pari-mutuel wagering and a state run lottery. Le- galizing those two forms of gambling was a first in the state's 125-year history. Meanwhile, with amaz- ing support, liquor-by-the- drink was legalized with a margain of 60% in favor to 40% against. It put an end to the era when “the open saloon shall be and is here- by forever prohibited. And in the gubernatorial race, Republican Mike Hay- den won the Kansas gov- ernorship with 51.9% of the votes by riding a re- lentless flow of votes from rural areas to a tense but decisive victory over Tom Docking. Docking’s dream of becoming a third gen- eration governor fell short. The Kansas State foot- ball team scored a 29-12 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks on Oct. 18 at the KSCJ stadium. But the real excitement occured later that night down at Aggie- ville. A crowd estimated at 4,000-6,000 broke signs and windows, threw bottles, and burned a park- ed car. KGs hope for a return to national dominance in basketball rested upon Danny Manning's wing (and a prayer) because they lost three starting seniors after the appearance in the final four one year ago. KG was picked in preseason polls to finish second in the Big Eight to Oklahoma and twenty-first in the FARM DEDICATION.

WORLD For journalists around the world, the cry was Danfloff As school was starting, 1986 was coming to a close. Nicholas Daniloff was accused and later im- prisoned by the Soviet Union in Moscow for being a spy of the U.S. Daniloff, a news correspondent for U.S. News and World Re- port magazine, was held in exile for about 20 days. Ronald Reagan and Mik- hail Gorbachev went to Reykjavik, Iceland for the super power summit meet- ings. Reagan and Gorba- chev could not agree on the idea of Reagan's Stra- tegic Defense Initiative (SDI), which concluded with bad feelings from both sides. DAN1LOFFS AT EMBASSY. American reporter Nicholas Daniloff and his wife, Ruth, stand in front of the U.S. Em- bassy in Moscow. (Great Bend Tribune) Eighteen year old Boris Becker, sometimes called “Boom-Boom Becker, won Wimbeldon for the second year in a row. More than 100,000 Russians were dangerously exposed when the power plant at Chernobyl erupted in April of 1986. It may be years before the world will be able to measure the aftershock of the most devasting nuclear accident in history. South Africa still re- mained a country of un- rest. The black majority was rebelling against the minority white govern- ment. Brian Hood GRIM FAREWELLS.

SCHOOL Lunchtime: 40 minutes of anything goes Two girls walk out of class together. It's 12:05. “What are you going to do for lunch? one of them asks. I don't know. How about you?” the other re- plies. “I don't know. I’m hungry, but I don't want to eat here. I didn't sign up anyway. Do you want to go uptown with me?” “Not really. I think I'll just hang around here and do nothing.” “Okay. I'm going to run up to Pop 'N Shop and get something to drink. You want me to get you any- thing?” “No thanks. I'll just help you with yours.” Yeah, right. See ya later.” She sits down in Main Hall. People pass through. Some sit down and relax to enjoy the 40-minute noon hour. Students beg re- luctant Stuco members to open the candy and pop machines. Candy bars cost 45 cents and a 12 oz. can of pop costs 35 cents. Downtown, candy bars cost 45 cents and pop costs 50 cents. A girl approaches the first girl who didn't eat. Hey! Ya want to go up- town with me? I won t be very long. Well, I guess. I’m bored just sitting here doing nothing. I don't have any money, but I’ll go along for the ride.” It's 12:25. They walk out the door together. Lori Solem Mark Gould EHS TODAY CHOW TIME. Students stand in the lunchline waiting to get their tray of food. FCA membership soars to record numbers What is so unique about FCA? The unity, the openess, the bond of friendship. All these work together to make FCA truly the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, an or- ganization for high school students which is non-de- nominational and not connected to the high school system. “I’m involved in a lot of organizations in school, but when I go to FCA, everyone is so much more open,” said junior Mike Patrick. FCA membership has really soared. At one meeting, nearly 70 people crowded into co-sponsor, Merle Loewen’s base- ment. Last year, we had a lot of people. This year, we have a lot of people, but we also have alot of love within us — something that wasn't there last year,” said senior Mi- chelle Menges, vice-presi- dent of the group. Besides regular Thurs- day night meetings, FCA participated in several other activities. Each fall and spring the group travels to Rock Springs Ranch for a weekend of Christian fellowship. They traveled to Kansas City to watch the Chiefs take on the San Diego Chargers. Before the game, an FCA rally was held and former Chief, Charlie Getty spoke. Lori Salem SINGING OUT.
