IN £I £W The big news stories of the year were not particularly new. The dol !ar was still unstable on world mar- ketSf and Middle East was still in chaos and the U,S. Soviet relations remained apathetic at best. Yet the fact that many of the events seemed familiar did not lessen their impact on our lives. In October, Ronald Reagan met with Mikhail Gorbachev in Reyjavik, Iceland, The Iceland Summit pro¬ vided a meeting ground for the two sup er powers to discuss varioua isaues. The most important topic at hand was arms reduction. Neither side was willing to negotiate and nothing was accomplished. This provided a model of what not to do at a summit. This did not help with Reagan ' s popularity. Ronnie got himself into deeper trouble this winter with the Iran arms scam. Apparently, Reagan had authorized the sale of weapons to Iran in exchange for goodwill and hostages. This was all done without public knowledge. When it was un¬ covered. the furor it caused led to the resignation of many public offi¬ cials and the spotlight was left on Reagan. At presstime, this had not yet been resolved. On the lighter side of the news we had America ' s new found love of Australia. With such publicity as Crocodile Dundee and the Amer ica Cup, Australia became the place for American tourists. One reason was that it was safe for travellers unlike many European and Middle East countries. In fact, Mr. Bill McCorkle plans on taking a group of students to Australia this summer. These are just a few of the top stories this year. There were of course many other stories both lo¬ cally and nationally which affected our daily lives. Events 21
