erywhere. Coke Is It? Joe Cool struts on up to the vender, ready to drop his money in the slot and buy a Coke But wait a minute! Five Cokes? Whew! And they thought Pepsi was the choice of a new generation! The whole situation has be- come quite confusing. You have your Classic Coke, which was the old Coke then dropped out to become the new old Coke. Then all the sudden, we see the brand new Coke come in along side of Caffeine-free, Diet and Cherry Coke! Confused yet? Well, so is Joe Cool, but he's decided to try Classic Coke anyway. Most North students chose Cherry Coke over all others. 'tCherry Coke is better than any other Coke, even Pepsi! stated Bill Covert while Chris Shields confessed that he was a '6Cherry Coke-aholicf' But, as always, the choice is up to you! So the next time you strut up to a vender and canit decide, just remember that 4'Coke is it!', or shall we say, Which Coke is it?

Linda Schoffstall asked. It was a good question this year, as on every wrist glanced at in the halls of North, there was at least one Swatch. This bright, new idea in wrist-wear cer- tainly did, as Jody Wilcox observed, put the fun back in telling time. Not only did one find an array of Swatch products for keeping time, but accessories such as sweatshirts depicting watches or timezones, to- tebags with colorful watch faces, key chains, Swiss r knives, and Swatchguards bombarded stores ev From paisley to plaid, Swatches reflect the personality of its owner. Swatches can be basic or complex. That's why they suggest something about the person who's wearing them, noted Brandon Barker. Whatever style you preferred, Swatches certainly added spice to the anxious glances of impatient students waiting for dismissal time to arrive. GETTING Mini Mag

Random Killer Once again, the capsule form of the United State's leading non-pre- scription pain-relief medicine was stripped from store shelves across the nation, Thus manufacturers of Tylenol, Johnson Sz Johnson, began a frantic search, offering S100,000 reward for tracking down the ran- dom killer. Authorities first described the tampering as a local prank. The cyanide-laced capsules were traced to an ASLP Supermarket in Bronx- ville. Officials then ordered Tylenol capsules removed from all area stores for examination. New York, followed by 13 states and the District of Columbia, banned sales of the capsules. John- son 8z Johnson, as well as the Food and Drug Administration, issued a national alert against using Tylenol in its capsule form. Surveys conduct- ed by the company indicated that thus far, users were not in such an alarmed state as they had been four years previous to this incident when seven lives were claimed by cyanide poisonings. This was inspiring news for the pharmaceutical giants, due to an estimated 33300 million spent to reclaim their market position after the 1982 killings. l've become more suspicious of using Tylenolg people are losing trust in themf, stated William Clinton.

as Shufflin' to Victor After years of ridicule, the Chi- cago Bears finally redeemed them- selves with a shattering 46-10 defeat over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. The underdog Patriots gained an early but short- lived lead with a field goal in the first quarter. However, the Shufflin' Crew came back quickly and their drive for the NFL Championship continued to gain momentum. In a dreamlike ending to the Bears 18-1 season, Chicago fans watched with joy as their home team broke records and, in typical Jim McMahon style, had fun. Also in front of the tubes to witness Super Bowl XX, were many North students. Junior Bill Covert, a Bears fan, stated, I think that their image is a little cocky, but deserved. They earned it. From the poll taken, sixty percent of the people at North were on the Bears side. Talent? Luck? Whatever it was, it was on the Bears side on Super Bowl Sunday, January 26.

As the lights dimmed, music began and the estatic audience turned into an uproar. Out of the gym and onto the screen appeared Sylvester Stallone, alias Rocky Bal- boa. For a tenth consecutive year of holding his title, Balboa knocked out opponent, Russian champion Drago. Topping the charts and making millions of dollars during its first week in theaters was quite an accom- plishment of Rocky's producers. The saga of Ba1boa's boxing rivals con- tinued in the Quad Cities, making its premiere November 27, 1985. Rocky IV was a smash on the music charts as well as the screen. With Survivor singing the title track Burning Heartf' the success of Rocky IV soared. If predictions follow, the population won't be kept in the dark. about Rocky's next move for long.
