Stock. Market Takes A Fall »v. »v.. J ..VW, ;» ' ; w Vi V The yeor tP 96 wo5 the year of the presidential election. Democratic hopefuls were Gory Hart, Michael Dukakis, Richard Gephardt, Bruce Bobbitt. Paul Simon. Albert Gore, and the Reverend Jes- se Jackson. Countering Jock- son was the Republican Par- ty’s Reverend Pat Robert- son. The remaining Republi- can candidates were Vice- President George Bush: Sen- ate Minority Leader. Robert Dole: Pierre Du Pont: former Secretory of State. Alex- nnrior Hr.in- nnri Jack KemO. October 29, 1929 had been called Black Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Aver- age had plummeted almost 200 points, sending the economy and the govern- ment into the panic that lead to the Great Depres- sion. in business activity during a generally prosperous pe- riod. terback for the Buffalo Bills. Three other Democratic can- didates dropped out early In the race, two of whom were female candidates Jeone Kirkpatrick and Pat Schroeder. Senator Joe Bi- den. who was accused of plagiarizing his speeches, also dropped out of the race. On October 19, 1987, an- other tremendous drop in the Dow caused the day to go down in history as Black Monday. The Dow dropped 508 points in one day. Was it the signal of an- other depression? the public wondered. Analysts, however, said that the mar- ket decline suggested the beginning of a recession, which, unlike a depression, is only a temporary decline The collapse actually be- gan on Wednesday, Octo- ber 14, when the Dow tum- bled 95 points. Two days later, the Dow had dropped another 108 points. From the stock market action after Black Monday, one could see that a depression was not in the makings. On October 20, the day after Black Monday, the Dow leaped 102 points upward. During the months follow- ing the Crash of '87, the Dow unpredictably rose and fell day after day. When the market will settle down is the question many asking now. tr The presidential race made headlines this year with the media's influence in the sex scandal involving Gory Hart, who dropped out and later returned to join the race. A flurry of insults were tossed back and forth between the two Republican consensus favorites. George Bush and Robert Dole. Never before hod there been such slander between members of the some party. Bush snatched the spotlight a couple of times when the wimp fac- tor was said to couse public disfavor of him. and in the instance of a shouting match between him and CBS Even- ing News anchorman Dan Rather. The next president, whom- ever he may be. hos many important issues to deal with. Problems with the Con- tras and Nicaragua, olono lCo • f 9 with all of Central An ore only a sample. There are nuclear arms treaties to be discussed with the Soviet Union, the job of stabilizing the fluctuating market after the market crash on October 19. 1937. and reversing the present action of the falling dollar for the next president to labor over. The already large and increasing deficit and conflict in the Persian Gulf are persisting problems as well. Our future president must be capable of handling these problems os well os those to come In the future. ' 4 - r . V
