'NWA by Kent Wisenor ,ff Phnlo Although cheerleading may look like fun and games, junior Patrish Trent takes her spirit leading seriously. l feel l have to dedicate much of my time in order to achieve my greatest potential, said Trent. Trents dedication managed to take her all the way to the Hula Bowl in Hawaii. Here she per- formed in the pre-game and halftime shows, along with sidel- ine cheers during the game. ln order to have participated in this event Trent had to place within the top six at the All American Cheerleading Associ- ation cheerleading competition at Sonoma high school in Octob- er. At this particular competition Trent competed in the catagories of dance, chant, and a perform- ance cheer. l like the dance catagory best because you can express your style of cheering and your per- Cheerle partlcl in Hula sonality can shine through, ex- plained Trent. The preliminary competition at Sonoma, not only allowed Trent to absorb a tan in Hawaii, it qualified her for nationals at Charlotte, North Carolina in March. ln the future Trent plans to attend University of Hawaii to major in sports medicine. by Robyn Rosselli 294 O 1-W 1 are -. fi' JV Fel

World shares disaster, jo As the year progressed, many events occured throughout the world that touched and changed peoples' lifes. From the marriage of Prince Andrew to Sarah Fer- guson to the terrorist attacks in Paris. These events added di- mensions and to the world's everyday life. The year was one full of agreements on arm con- trols to cease-fire agreements in the Philippines. Headlining news of the year concerned the increasing amount of terrorism that affected the world. ln September terrorists struck in Paris. On a Wednesday evening at 5:30 p.m. a black BMW with two men inside drove up the Rue de Rennes, a busy thoroughfare crowded with shops and cafes. Near Tati, a clothing discount store, a man got out and tossed a package into a garbage can and calmly walked away. Five minutes later the bomb exploded. Five people died in the blast including three women and a boy, more than 50 others were seriously injured. ln all, five bombs killed eight people and wounded more than 150 people. The French gov- ernment fought back by tighten- ing borders, mobilizing security patrols, and staging bomb squads at airports. But still ter- rorists succeeded by bombing the Paris city hall and the Paris police headquarters. The terror- ists vowed to strike again until Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, Le- banese terrorist was released. The next victim of terrorism was East Beirut, where gunmen shot and killed military attache Col. Christian Gourtierre outside the French Embassy. The first fatal explosion on Sept. 8 was due to the failure of the French authorities to comply 4. As the terrorists struck in Paris they killed five people in bombing. This child, one of the more than 150 injured, receives medical at- tention. 5. President Reagan and 296 O with a deadline for the release of Abdallah and two jailed assas- sins. The target was the post office of the Hotel de Ville, in the city hall where Prime Minister Jacques Chirac held office as mayor of Paris. Soon, after the deaths of many Americans, the United States took action against terrorism. The U.S. bombed Libya after picking up communications ty- ing Libya to the bombing of an American GI hangout in West Berlin. American F-1 1 1's streaked over Tripoli and Beng- hazi on April 14, shelling the cities with 2 thousand pound laser-guided bombs. The 11 minute raid killed some 37 Lib- Mikhail Gorbachev converse on the steps of the Hofdi House in Reykjavik before the Iceland Sum- mit. yans and two Americans. How much the raid could accomplish was questionable since Syria's Hafenz Assad and lran's Ayatol- lah Ruhollah Khomeini had at least as much to do with terrorist attacks as did Kaddafi. The action was condemned by many Amer- ican allies, but Libyan sponsored terrorist attempts decreased. Nearby in Sweden, Olof Palme, Prime Minister was shot and killed by a mysterious gun- man. Hours later, police received an anonymous phone call telling them that the murder had been committed by the Holger Meins Kommando. History shows that Holger Meins was a member of West Germany's Baader- Meinhot gang who was convict- ed of attempted murder and died in a German prison in 1974. Later, after the gang demanded the release of 26 of their com- rades from prison, Palme refused to let these people out. Members of the gang are a still in prison. Swedish police, however, dis- missed the call as a hoax. The death shocked Sweden, which had not suffered an assassination for over 200 years. After the death of Olof Palme, Willy Brandt, a fellow socialist, said A world thirsty for peace and justice has become poorer. Violence also errupted in South Africa as anti-apartheid riots grew larger and bloodier. Last year, political unrest killed at least 1,300 South Africans, most of them black. President Reagan, saying he was second to none in detesting apartheid, appointed a new black ambassador to South Africa. President Reagan insisted that economic sanctions would
