Everybody, teachers as well as stu- dents anxiously await the weekends. Some don’t mind school as much as others seem to but there is no doubt that the weekend offers something to look forward to for everyone. Wheth- er it be to spend time with friends (there just never seems to be enough time to do that during school hours) or just to be by yourself away from the busy schedule on weekdays, the time spent is always enjoyable. It’s also a great time to catch up on things that need doing that just couldn’t get done with all the homework there was the rest of the days. But no matter how you look at it, Saturdays and Sundays always go by twice as quick as Mon- days and Tuesdays do. Well, still, it’s something to be thankful for. 21

World, national and local news On March 30, 1981, at approximately 2:00 p.m. John Hinckley Jr. made an assasination attempt on President Ronald Reagan’s life. Hinckley was waiting for the President outside the Washington Hilton Hotel where Rea- gan was addressing union representa- tives. Hinckley opened fire on Reagan when he was returning to the White House. Hinckley fired six shots - hit- ting the President, Presidential press secretary, James Brady, and also in- juring patrolman Thomas Delahanty and Agent Timothy McCarthy. Agents, police officers and union members leaped on Hinckley who struggled furiously until the gun was wrestled away from him. He was brought to Washington Police Head- quarters and is now in a federal deten- tion center awaiting trial. Reagan, first thought to be uninjured, was shot in the chest, hitting his rib and deflecting into his left lung. He was in surgery for several hours and accord- ing to doctors was never in any critical danger. Brady, on the other hand was the most seriously injured. A bullet entered his forehead and struck the right side of his brain. Word spread that he had died but after five hours of surgery he surprised doctors by surviv- ing. He is now making steady progress at home. On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot twice by Mehmet Ali Agca, a 23-year-old Turk, convicted murderer and an escaped convict. The Pope was making his weekly audience to St. Pe- ter’s Cathedral when shots rang out among the crowd. He was shot twice with the second bullet doing consider- able damage to his intestines. After several days of anxious waiting throughout the world, the Pope was said to be in stable condition and has now recovered fully. Anwar Sadat was shot and killed Octo- ber 7 last year by a group of soldiers that hurled hand grenades and fired rifles at the Egyptian President who was watching a military parade. Sadat, known world wide for boldness in for- eign affairs, was shot by Moslem fun- damentalists angered by his making peace with Israel. In the raid, five oth- ers were killed and 38 injured.
