So here's to you cheers and jeers to those who most deserve them Cheers to President Ronald Reagan who in spite of the sniping of the right wing, of which he was born, made progress in relations with the Soviets the cornerstone of his foreign policy and took a significant step toward a peaceful world with the signing of the INF Treaty Jeers to those in the Republican Party, including five out of six presidential candidates, who have taken this historic warming in American-Sovirelations as an opportunity to play to the right wing and sound their hysterical rhetoric Cheers to George Shultz who seemed to be one of the few people in the Administration to keep his head amid the maneuverings and offer sound advice to the President and the people v and then go on to finalize the summit and the subsequent INF Treaty Jeers to Fawn Flail and Oliver North who have created the ugly scenario of a secretary and a Marine colonel making decisions about the U S Constitution by their shredding machine as they determined that sometimes "it's necessary to go above the written law '' Cheers to Mrs Gary Hart who amid the public indiscretions of her husband was able to maintain a high degree of poise and grace Double jeers to Gary Hart who, after challenging reporters to "dog his tracks" to prove rumors of marital infidelity, cried foul 10 days later when reporters did just that Then after saving his party from the indignity of his candidacy, Hart has deflected attention, once again, from the issues and serious candidates to his own harebrained and egocentric ambitions If there is justice in this world, let Gary Hart go down to a swift and humiliating defeat in New Hampshire Cheers to the people of Arizona who raised that state in protest of the views of an governor who represents the views of that progressive state about as well as Jim Bakker represents the views of the United States A recall election is set for May Hallelujah Jeers to Evan Mecham who, despite the fact that more Arizonans have signed a recall petition against him than elected him governor, has refused to resign and spare the state the turmoil of a recall election Speaking of Jim Bakker, cheers to hundreds of thousands of callers who, when asked to pledge money to save PTL, flooded the phone lines wishing to express insults to both Jim and Tammy Bakker and Jerry Falwell Jeers to the Falwells and Bakkers of this world who used 1987 to manipulate the innocent to turn over a buck Cheers to the American consumer who went about business as usual despite the wild soothsayings of doom based upon the Wall Street crash Jeers to those egocentrics of Wall Street who generalize their own financial misfortunes as the financial misfortunes of the entire country Cheers to Justice Sandra O'Connor, former Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole, and Senators Nancy Kassebaum and Barbara Mikulski who reaffirmed that women have an equal right and ability to govern and that the time of the woman President may not be that far off Jeers to Jessica Hahn and Donna Rice who seemed to affirm virtually every negative stereotype regarding women to create their own celebre in 1987 Cheers to the Utah Shakespearan Festival which had a banner year in 1987 Jeers to the ASSUSC Student Service (Disservice?) Center which managed in 1987 to lose the Associated Students' two sets of GRE preparation tapes and the listings of internships Cheers to the students and faculty of SUSC who have striven against budget cuts to preserve the academic integrity of our college in 1 987 Predictions for 1988 The Cincinnati Reds will capture the NL will shock the pennant and the Series The ticket of Simon-Babbi- tt GOP in 988 and return the Democrats to the White House Reagan will sign a major arms treaty in Moscow in the summer The economy will turn down in the summer and fall of '88 as the country enters the much predicted and overdue recession SUSC will announce plans to build a tower to heaven in 1987 but academic programming and problems will remain unaddressed ROCK S' I HEAVY METAL NEYI AGE OTMSOm MSIIC ifcVJW.
