June ♦ Panic swept through the coun¬ try as more than 50 reports of syringes in cans of Pepsi surfaced across the nation. Fearing a drastic decline in sales, the No.2 soft drink com¬ pany opened the doors to its manufacturing plants to the Food and Drug Administration. Mean¬ while Pepsi stood by its product with a refusal to remove it from stores and ads on television and in newspapers. The FDA found no evidence of tampering from within the bottling plants, prompting an investiga¬ tion that led to more than 20 arrests involving false tampering claims. June ♦ Following a ground-breaking cer¬ emony attended by Gov.

Summer ♦ The rains fell, and the water rose while people in parts of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska watched as their homes and lives were washed away by one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. Causing nearly $10 billion in damages, the floods wreaked havoc upon the Midwest, leav¬ ing 51 people dead and more than 60,000 without homes. The raging waters swept over levees and plowed through commu¬ nities, leaving many highways, such as these in Illinois, submerged and impassible. President Clinton declared more than 500 counties disaster areas and signed a $5.7 million federal aid pack¬ age to help victims re¬ build. M AP PHOTO July 4 Freshmen from around the country flocked to Fayetteville for New Student Orientation. The first of nine two-day sessions began on July 12 and featured everything from campus tours to Hog-calling in the Union ballroom. In addition to helping students prepare for college life, orientation provided fun events and free prizes at some of its booths. A WlCHSER PHOTO Summer ♦ With the worries of school behind them for three months, many students set out to have a good time. Some students went home, while others stayed in Fayetteville to work or attend summer school. Yet, when the studying and the jobs were done, students could be found relaxing in the sunshine, playing sports, like volley¬ ball, and hanging out by the pool. -4 Wichser photo Summer ♦ 5
