He claims. “In this building, everything emanates and ultimates from me. Nothing happens without me. He believes in being strict, tough and enforcing. Discipline is everything he says. He has received positive reactions from his students as they begin to “shape up and “follow the right road.” He's tough but he is fair, students claim. He has received mixed opinions from other school officials, adults, and government officials but nobody can deny the results.

From now on . . . there is one order of battle, defend yourself, defend American lives,” said President Reagan over the conflict in the Persian Gulf. The United States and Iran are at constant differences over a battle fought for control. Attacks were conducted by both sides and often innocent passenger and cargo ships were the victims of a rage of violence in the Gulf.

There are a number of questions concerning everyone over the contro- versy of schedule or safety. The problem may be solved but not in the way either side had hoped for. Budget cuts and the cost of elaborate technology has badly hurt NASA. Rosa Parks made history 33 years ago when, riding on a segregated bus in Montgomery, she refused to give up her seat.
