Crisis Hits Home 1979 — 80 was a year of memorable crises. In July while on summer vacation, everyone was worried about when and where Skylab would fall. After being involved in many con- troversial issues, Andrew Young resigned as Ambas- sador to the United Nations in September. In October, thou- sands of Americans flocked to see Pope John Paul II during his tour in the U.S. Also during this month, the price of gold reached a record high of over $600 an ounce. In November, the American public was shocked by the flag- rant disregard of international law by the followers of the Ayatollah Khomeni in their holding of 50 American hos- tages. The Iranians demanded the return of the Shah of Iran in exchange for releasing the hostages. Students and faculty at Northwood showed their support of the hostages by wearing the white arm bands. On the entertainment front, students saw the return of the Starship Enterprise in a major motion picture, Star Trek. 16 World Affairs

Chic styles lead the 80’s The fads and fashions popu- lar at Northwood this year were basically limited to articles of clothing. The double wrap belts were one of the most common fashion trends on campus. Skinny ties that were tucked in shirts along with sus- penders were sported by fash- ion conscious young men. Loafers, deck shoes, suede bucks with flaps and clogs led the way in footwear fashion. When the weather turned win- tery, ski vests and jackets were worn by both guys and gals. Dresses and skirts with seduc- tive splits were also on the fash- ion scene. To top off the 1979- 80 fashion trend, Calvin Klein jeans and ribbon ties added class to the student body. 1.
