The most popular the Iran-Contra hearings by a Sen- ate Investigation Committee. Vice- President Bush was under fire con- stantly, but the hearings made Ollie North a hero. The good and bad ideas came to light. Maybe the airlines were not as careful as they should have been when it came to safety. Planes con- tinued to fall in a crashing pattern and mid-air near misses continued to happen. People stopped flying as often and exchanged airline tickets for rental cars. The most shocking of all the news was the crash of the stock news was that of ed. The rise and fall of the stock market made investing a game that separates the men from the boys. At Southern Tech the spray paints and tents were packed away never to be used again. Instead “the rock” became a place of honor with flower and gravel to give the loca- tion anew beauty. Construction ona new Textile Department was start- ed. The ground was broken and work began. Plans for the student center addition were displayed for all to see and discuss. 1988 began with a bang. The new year brought new dreams and new desires. Winter Olympics started and ended so quickly that it was hardly noticeable. America watched as the gold and silver ) Three strikes, you're out, so four gave her a bronze medal. The Election Campaign for a new president brought out senators, politicians, and ministers. During the first ever, Super Tuesday elec- tion, a black man won Georgia. Jes- se Jackson was that man. George Bush wiped out his opponents con- stantly for the republican ticket, while t he democratic ticket was still anybody elses game. The democrats have finally got to make a decision this time, also a first, they will make that choice in Georgia. Southern Tech, Georgia, and the World were not expecting many of the surprises of the year but dealt with each challenge as they arose, like the winners they are. 20 ® Student Life

OGROGAMY -@R- hits, Ee today’s society as sexually active as it wes in the GO’s, in the 7O's, and in the early 80's? A few of those who were, back in the days when monogamy was thought of being taboo, still are, but wheat about the vast mejority ... NO Today’s society, the young adults, the middle- aged adults, and the primal adults are pretty much staying with their current mates—and with good reason, due to the widespread pandemonium of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). People are scared and are very inadequately in- formed; who would not be frightened of a disease that scientists and pathologists cannot seem to find a cure for and continue to stonewall the public about what they can and cannot do with those stricken with the disease. People are not only afraid of AIDS but other STD’s (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). Not that AIDS was present in the early or mid sixties, but the pandemonium it is bringing about is causing the resurgence of other STD’s that were not forgotten De. e Student Life PROMISCUNY but did not seem to be as equally contagious, when infact, they are. Sure, some like variety and spontan- iety, simplicity and dullness, kinkiness and whole- someness, but they are finding it, these qualities or characteristics, in their present lovers. Whatever the preference may be, each couple finds it within one another. Why not, no one wants to catch something that is contracted doing something enjoyable. Although these diseases are dangerous and most | often fatal when not treated, there are precautions people can take to prevent alleviating the enjoyment | that comes along with sexual intercourse. For in- stance, using a condom or semicide before beginning the act and washing the genitals after completing the old-time ritual does help eliminate the possibility of contracting AIDS and other STD's. It is true that there is no known cure for AIDS and that everyone cannot and will not contract this dead- ly virus: there are some who are just carriers, mean- ing they can pass the virus on to another person and not know it, or carry the virus without showing any symptoms for years to come or at all. What exactly is AIDS? AIDS is a virus (what kind of virus, we do not exactly know, and if we did, we would more than likely have a cure for it) that at-¥ tacks a person's white blood cells (T-Lymphocytes) in the human blood. A person's white blood cells helps fight off diseases within a person's system; without a perfectly operational immune system, that person becomes susceptible to all kinds of bacteria, germs, fungi, and other viruses that may cause life- threatening illnesses. This is one of the many reasons
