A 1 X 1 as A M l X World's irst Bionic Mar by Randy Udelman Dr. Barney Clark, a 61-year old retired dentist became the first human to receive a man-made heart on December 2, 1982. Dr. Clark, of suburban Seattle, suffered from cardiomyopathy, an inoperable heart dis- ease. Dr. William DeVries surmised that the only way for his patient to survive was by the implantation of an artificial heart. The surgical team of 20 doctors and nurses was headed by Dr. DeVries, the only surgeon authorized to perform this oper- ation. Without it, doctors said, Clark might have died by morning. we've learned a tre- mendous amount that will help the next patient, DeVries said after the operation. . Q!

It was developed by Dr. Robert Jarvik at the Artificial Organs Division oi the Utah Medical Center. There were series of early setbacks, the most serious oj Dec. 14 when a valve in the artificial heart failed, forcing an emergency operation DeVries said the breakdown may have re sulted from an overzealous attempt tc make the heart beat too fast. By Dec. 21, Clark was standing on hit feet and joking with his wife and daughte in the University of Utah hospital in Sal Lake City. '

The Amendments by Paul Huff as printed in The Press on November 12. lt has been a rather disappointing year for 'ootball at Saguaro. In fact not only has it een the worst season in Saguaro's history, ut the only losing season ever. People were :tunned to see a school that is famous for its vinning tradition lose four games straight. Then, after the Cats shocked Coronado, mulling offa 17-13 upset one could not help nut feel that it was a turning point. This was :ertainly the feeling among the team, but it vas not to be. Everyone seems to be asking vhy, why a program which enjoyed a 8-2 eason on the Varsity level and a 6-2 record an the J.V. level the year before could possi- ily come up short. The players and even the coaches have lad to take a lot of smart remarks from the tudent body. To the ordinary student it has iecome a joke, but the ordinary student lidnit spend the summer in passing league, he ordinary student didn't go through a feek and a half of double sessions, and the Team Strives for Success ordinary student hasn't made the commit- ment the players and coaches have. For if he had he would know that it isn,t ajoke but that it hurts, it hurts a lot. Coach Keller said before the Mountain View game that the difference between a team that is rated number four and a team that is 50 or 60 or whatever the number, may be very great when printed up in the local newspaper, but when the two teams line up head to head the gap narrows. It now comes down to a good run, a key block, or any unpredictable circumstances that may enter into a football game. Numbers no longer mean a thing. It's just us against them, and whoever wants it more comes out on top. Homecoming is more than just a football game, it is something special. It is some- thing that should not be tarnished by de- feat. To let a team take away your home- coming is about the same as letting someone steal. And from what this school has seen of Marcos that is the level on which they dwell. A homecoming game be- l longs not only to the players but also to the students, the faculty, the parents, the coaches, and everyone else associated with the school. Let's not let them down, let's go out with fire in our eyes and the idea that nothing can stop us from coming out on top. Paul Huff, 943, shows his aggressiveness on the field as he tackles an opponent. Homecoming Football 125

The Amendments inance Gver Education? Dear Editor: By a vote of two to three, she was to die. No longer shall Scottsdale High School stand proudly, a monument to the past and a beacon to the future. Why is this 50 year tradition ending? l'Politics, said Scottsdale High teacher Jim Stevens. On the seventeenth of Janu- ary, education died in Scottsdalef' he con- tinued. When school boards chose finance over education, something is very wrong. The cottsdale School Board made a drastic nistake. They took away a part of Scotts- dale's history seemingly without alleviating iny of the problems that they originally set nut to solve. The Board's decision, however, was not a total loss. We still have Arcadia, the school if Steven Spielberg, orange throwers, van- dals who tear up football fields and paint A 's on private property as lunch time activities. We should not totally condem Arcadia, they were successful in many ways. They have made an easy transition of students from Scottsdale to Arcadia impossible. They have convinced the Board that their sinking ship is no liability but an asset: who cares if it costs S800 more per student to run than any other high school in the dis- trict. Finally, they had distinguished legis- lators like Mr. Peter Kay step forward and offer his two cents worth, which is indeed about all his orating was worth. Yes, indeed, education in Scottsdale has died. No longer will the welfare of the stu- dents come first. From now on, it is what is best for the pocketbook. I shall shed a tear every time I pass Scottsdale High and see those lonely red bricks waiting for the school-time chatter. And to think how redistricting, the succes- sion of Arcadia, or closed enrollment might have saved this school. This is something that should forever be regretted. A tradition has been murdered by a political noose. Sincerely, Craig Lewandowski Saguaro Junior Wa Scottsdale High School 127
