I lla... In ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll l U. S. drunks get off easy Over the last years drunk driving has been a large issue. lt's an issue that touches many people some time or another. Even at school, students feel the effects of drunk drivers as friends and family members were touched by it. Many people believe that the United States is too lenient when punishing offenders. lt's all just a matter of opinion. The drunk drivers and the victims would both have different views. So for some alternative ideas, take a look at the listhelow- Australia - The names of drivers are sent to the local newspapers and printed under the heading, He's Drunk and in Jail. Malaysia - The driver is put in jail, and if he is married, his wife is jailed also. South Africa - A i0-year prison sentence or a fine equivalent to 10,000 U.S. dollars, or both. Turkey - Drunk drivers are taken 20 miles from town by police and forced to walk back under escort. Finland and Sweden - Automatic jail for one year with hard labor. Norway - Three weeks in jail with hard labor, one year loss of license. Second offense within five years will result in license being revoked for life. Costa Rica - The police remove license plates from car. Russia - License permanently revoked. England - One year in jail, a S250 fine and a one year license suspension. France - Three year license suspension, one year in jail and a Sl ,000 fine. Poland - Driver is jailed, pays a fine, and is forced to attend political lectures. Burgaria - Second offenders are executed. El Salvador - First offenders are last offenders: execution by a firing squad. Popular things come and go, but cars always seem to be on top of the list. Stereo systems are definately heard as a passerby feels the beat, and decorations are seen. Replacing yellow signs, Garfield stuck to the windows of cars. Tires were switched and lowered so the speed bumps were higher than the car. Mazda and Toyota pick-up trucks dominated the parking lot, but Honda's CRX was beginning to pop up from hidden corners. Older cars were often seen such as Porsches and Camaros. Little cars with different looks came out such as the Suzuki Samurai. Highlights 175

llll ll l lll lll I 1 I To change the monotonous routine of dinner and movies on Friday and Saturday nights, dances were a different substitute. Pigskin, proms, and the school dances were full of eager students who wanted a change of schedule. gf' Although most went to the dances for the r entertainment, some went to listen to the music and my ,N in some cases, watch the videos. The Victory Week ' dance took a different approach and had two screens A showing videos of the music it was playing. It was a D different approach that attracted a lot of people.

Ill lll lll l l l Q I I . I ll ll ll l As part of the grapevine, state and ocal regions faced additions as well as some pruning in the different branches of their society. Pope -Iohn Paul II, during his 10-day, nine-city tour, visited Monterey, to be greeted by actor-mayor Clint Eastwood, and then the Pope went on to San Francisco to meet with 100 AIDS victims and their families. This tour received much publicity and put enthusiasm in Californi- ans to have such a re- spected figure come to their state. The theme of this four-day festivity was Reflections-a 50th An- niversary Celebration. The festival scheduled entertainers, games, grape-oriented features 1, . of I ,Mi 'Q if , ,I ' 1' 5'.?aw- ' 1 ' 1? Ctr L :Cai S fir-Jig!

Also as a squirt of refreshing flavor, the San Francisco Giants won the National League West Championship. Under manager Roger Craig, this is the first Giant championship in 16 years. This put the spirit back into patriotic Giant fans. That same day, California received another great shock, though this one ranked 6.1 on the Richter scale. Across Southern California hit a severe earthquake and 16 strong aftershocks. Buildings were destroyed, homes were damaged, freeways were closed, and fires were started. Six people were killed while 100 others were injured. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake was the strongest to hit the Los Angeles area since the 6.4 Sylmar quake of 1961. Arousing the attention of local education was the AIDS virus. With 5 to 10 million people worldwide with AIDS, educators made a way to fight the disease by efforts to inform students and adults about AIDS. This awareness caught on and programs as well as presentations were established locally. The Lodi Unified School District decided to put six more schools on year-round schedules. With enroll- ment figures climbing, this was the district's only alternative. Schools de- termined to go on the year-round school plan in July 1988 include Davis and Elkhorn ele- mentary schools in North Stockton and Lakewood, Leroy Nichols, Vine- wood and Erma B. Reese -ina. MA elementary schools in Lodi. Also set as a restric- tion, students at Senior Elementary School were no longer allowed to wear pieces of clothing advertising beer or alcohol products. If the students wear clothing of this nature, the students would be asked to go home and change. The new regulation was backed by State law which allows school officials to pass such restrictions. Authorities thought the clothing was disruptive to the educational setting. Another disrupting issue dealt with the Sacramen- to-San Joaquin Delta. The delta contains the state's richest farmland yet the safety of this farmland was put in question. Concerns were brought up as to the crumbling levees as well as where to transfer the water. After the dry winter of 1986-1987, it has been a concern as to where the water would be sent. A decision was again 7
