September ’88 to May ’89 School year contains usual variety of good and bad Life at college has an insular quality; we have a tendency to become so ab- sorbed in the activities and routine of academic life that the outside world can fade away. But it never gets very far away before something in the real world impinges on our awareness. The latter half of 1988 and the first of 1989 were memorable times both on the HSU campus and for the world at large. All the elements that go into the human tapestry were in evidence — courage and cowardice, sacrifice and greed, strength against incredible odds and despair, perseverance and shal- lowness, the drive to achieve and, sad- ly, the belief that any measure was worthwhile to attain a goal. Most of us still couldn't remember our new class schedules before Delta Flight 1141 went down in a huge fireball at Dallas Fort Worth International Air- port, killing 13. Airline tragedy was a particularly recurring theme of the nightly news during the '88-’89 school year, with quite a number of civilian and military planes going down — two alone in Abilene. Meanwhile, hundreds of volunteers gave thousands of hours to try and stem the rampaging fires that swept through Yellowstone Park. The depth of human grief was graph- ically present as the seven-month or- deal of a Stamford family began in Sep- tember. Little Cortney Clayton disappeared from a street in her home- town and her fate remained a question for months as officers and volunteers scoured the Big Country for any clue concerning her. A hunter happened upon the fatal conclusion as remains found on land west of Moran were med- ically identified as the little girl. A furor swept the nation with the re- lease of Martin Scorsese's film version of Nikos Kazantzakis' The Last Temp- tation of Christ. Large elements of the Christian community squared off against proponents of free expression in their protests against the film’s treat- ment of the Biblical material. In the end, the opinion was often voiced that the sheer boredom of the movie would have killed it had not the protests heightened its publicity. Within a few months the Islamic com- munity was similarly outraged with the publication of Salman Rushdie’s book, The Satanic Verses. Condeming the work as blasphemous, the Ayatollah Khomeini called on devout Muslims Rushdie. The western world had its own turn to be outraged. 18
