Review: World and hoeat News The world’s events of 1986-87 taught us that, re- gardless of our leaders faults, the people of the world will fight for their freedom. In China, college students protested, in American 60's style, their government's denial of their freedom. Massive riots were held by South African blacks, but apartheid continued. College students in South Korea protested the ways of their right-wing government and United States involvement in their country. In the United States, hundreds marched across the country to show their dedication to world peace. Terrorism decreased this year, while European corporations flubbed by dumping toxic waste in the Rhine River. The cocaine-related deaths of basketball star Len Bias and professional football player Don Rogers brought out the dangers of drug use in our society. Crack, a form of cocaine, was the new drug of choice. Even President and Mrs. Reagan went on TV to combat the problem. AIDS spread to more people, while sever- al cures failed. In August, new Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist was inaugurated, but not without a fight from Senate Democrats. In the November Elec- tions, the Democrats gained control of the Senate, mak- ing President Reagan's last two years difficult ones. In our state. Democrat Helen Boosalis and Republican Kay Orr battled for the governorship, the first time two women were up for the post in our nations history. Mrs. Orr was the victor. Our local economy received a great boost this year. Appleton Electric opened, employing hundreds of Columbus residents. Several new restaurants opened also. Columbus was most proud of Donna Schieffer, a 1985 Scotus graduate, who represented Nebraska in the Miss America Pageant. Another Scotus graduate, Jill Reiser, was crowned 1986 Miss Columbus.

Fads Fashion Over the years, fashion at its best has por- trayed the attitudes and emotions of the peo- ple. This school year was no exception. Topping off the fash- ion charts, at least at Scotus Central Catholic, was the ever so popular five button, forest green, smokey gray, and coal black plaid mini” skirt. However, trendy styles were the thing, as both classically old and flashly new fads took domi- nance over the students bodies and their money. Designer names such as Coca-Cola, Guess, Outback Red, and Pepe were king in the fashion world as they put out their own ver- sions of: jean jackets, jeans (especially faded ones), over- sized shirts, and mini skirts. But Goodwill Shopping was the place to be if you were looking for the old classics such as trench coats and the Blues Brothers' look. Moving down the fashion chart to the lower extremities of the body are the feet. This year s favorite clodhoppers to be seen in were: those comfy tenny runners called Reebok, short black chow boots with socks showing over the jeans, flats in every color imaginable, and yes even shoes that look like they came from a Raggedy Ann comic book. There were also some fads that were worn on the body but not on the feet. These include, even another new invention for the hair called banana clips, preppie glasses, friendship bracelets. Swatches, and yet for another year those popular sunglasses called shades. Finally, of course there were some fads that had nothing to do with fashion. Probably one of the most popular of these were the devilish little locker munchies that were so secretly popped into our mouths like drug addicts. There was also mousse, mousse, and more mousse. Mousse in make-up, colored for hair, suntan lotion, and reg- ular mousse. Other fads included sitting around at 11:30 P.M. watching David Letterman cut up our society.
