Ethiopia hit with famine “W e are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving. Those famous words from the song We Are the World were sung all over the world by Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Won- der, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Kim Carnes and other famous singing stars. The song was de- signed to do something about the disastrous fa- mine that has hit south Africa as well as the hun- ger in the entire world. All of the money made from it was to go to the starv- ing people of the world. In a matter of weeks it moved up the charts and hit number one, where it stayed for a prolonged pe- riod of time. The Ethiopian crisis has been the worst famine in African history. Drought spread in two vast belts across the continent. Nearly 30 countries were listed officially as hungry, and some of these coun- tries whole populations have been in danger of ex- tinction. Five hundred thousand people have al- ready died in Mozam- bique and Ethiopia alone, according to Newsweek magazine. Tony Hall, a congressman from Ohio, returned from visiting Ethiopia complain- ing about precisely that inequity. At a press con- ference he stated, It is unconscionable that peo- ple on the other side of the globe should die of starvation while moun- tains of food — yes, liter- ally mountains of food — pile up in our silos.”

Ferraro makes history The senior govern- ment class saw the significance of the 1984 election so it decid- ed to perform a mock election. The class spent a few days away from their books preparing for the election. It made ballot boxes, voting booths, campaign signs, and it also ran off ballots which allowed the student body to vote for all the same people that the communi- ty would be voting for. The major differences be- tween the actual election and this mock election was attitude. The student body knew Reagan had a victory chalked up. Na- tionwide, able-bodied vot- ers rushed to get regis- tered. The Democrats filled the polls to give Mondale that extra push they felt would lead him to a victory while the Re- publicans filled the polls just in case a striking tur- nover was to occur. As the final results were tallied, many were sur- prised at Reagan’s land- slide victory over Mon- dale. Many Democrats blamed Mondale’s pre- vious record with former President Jimmy Carter. °Wal, 15
