f the United States truly had a health care crisis in 1994, you Icouldn't have proved it by Congress. Despite the exhortations of President Clinton and the First Lady, the year ended without significant health insurance reform. In 1993 the president appointed his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, to head a health care task force. After extensive hearings and much research, the group produced a proposal that became famous — or in- famous — for its complexity. Meanwhile, sentiment for change seemed to be limited to the minority of Americans who lacked health insurance or feared losing it. In the absence of a public outcry, there was insufficient support in Congress for the Clinton bill, which called for universal coverage. But the president had promised to veto anything less. Mrs. Clinton took some of the blame for the failure. She said she had underestimated the effect- iveness of the opposition, and didn't realize that the complexity of the ad- ministration's plan would turn people off.

13 Wester^i Forest Fires

ens of thousands of firefighters fought a summer-long battle Tagainst scores of fires that burned more than three million acres of woodlands across the parched Western states. So many young people were fighting fires in Idaho by late August that the state colleges allowed preregistered students to enter classes as much as three weeks late. Residents of mountain homes near Boise were displaced by a single fire that consumed a range of well- known locations, including the Jackson Hole ski valley and western Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. The firefighters ranged from seasoned pros to raw recruits. In California's Sierra Nevadas, exhausted and disheveled men and women declared victory on August 24 over the 46,800 cottonwood fire that had burned for eight days. One Forest Service firefighter looked at a bedraggled gathering of singed, soot-covered fire- fighters as they took a break near Loyalton. The scene, he said, looked like "a hippie

About 35,000 people farmers recovered. Topsoil was washed away, farm pond fled their homes, and more than 400,000 acres of crops dams were washed out, and nearly 1,000 barns and other were inundated after the flooding began on July 5. farm buildings were damaged.

t rained. Thousands crashed the gates. People with tickets Icouldn't get in or had to wait for hours. Portable toilets overflowed. Food occasionally ran short. Drugs were everywhere. Woodstock '94 looked a lot like the original 1996 rock festival— right down to the fans, who wouldn't have missed it for the world. Promoters set up distant parking lots and shuttle buses for the 200,000 people who paid $135 each for tickets— advance sale only. But about 350,000 people showed up. Many ticket holders couldn't find a parking space, and some walked up to twelve miles to get to the concert. A few gave up and went home. On stage. Bob Dylan, who did not play in 1969, sang "Just like a Woman." Joe Cocker wailed "With a Little Help from my Friends," just like 25 years ago. When it was over, the rain-drenched and mud- covered lumbered home from the sloppy fair grounds looking like the walking dead— who died smiling.

jet-propelled astronaut unhooked his Alifelines to the Space Shuttle Discovery and flew free, 150 miles above the Earth. It was the first untethered spacewalk in 10 years. Mark Lee (at right) was followed by fellow astronaut Carl Meade. They had but one jet pack between them - it cost $7 million, after all— and had to take turns. "This thing works like a champ," Lee said as he hovered over Discovery's cargo bay, firing the pack's 24 tiny nitrogen gas jets for the propulsion and steering with a joystick. In the trickiest exercise of the seven-hour spacewalk, each astronaut propelled himself along the length of the shuttle arm, to the elbow, and around the band, up to the end, and then back down again— all without using their hands. The jet pack was designed to be a life preserver for space station crews of the future. It weighs just 83 pounds on Earth, but, like everything else, nothing in space.

They were Cuba's boat people — tens of thousands of people trying to get to the United States to escape the poverty and hunger of their increasingly isolated island Communist nation. Many did not make it because of storms, sinkings or the U.S. Coast Guard, which intercepted more than 1,000 craft in one day in early September. But the flood of migrants receded shortly after the United States agreed to admit at least 20,000 a year. In return, Cuban leader Fidel Castro promised to halt the flight of boat people. Police gave rafters a few days to get their crafts off Havana's beaches and made sure no new ones were drawn up.

After receiving the crown, she signed "1 love you" amidst the thunderous applause from the audience at the Atlantic City Convention Center. Her slogan in the competition was "Youth Motivation: Anything is Possible." She was proof enough of that, having lost most of her hearing after a reaction when she was 18 months old. Whitestone became Miss America 1995 in part through her talent routine, a two-and-a-half minute ballet performed to music that she couldn't hear. Instead she counted the beats in her head and synchronized her dance moves to reflect changes in pitch. Whitestone said she didn't think it would be hard for a deaf woman to be Miss America. "1 think I'll do it just fine," said the Birmingham native who reads lips but used an interpreter at a news conference after her victory. "1 mean, look at us, we're doing just fine."

i civil War In Bosnia

ivil war con- tinued to rack Bosnia- Herzegovina in 1994, despite the efforts of a united Nations peace- keeping force. The conflict, as complicated as it was savage, began in 1992 when Bosnia's Serbian minority rebelled against a decision by Yugoslavia's Muslims and Croats to secede. After two-and a half years of fighting, more than 200,000 people were dead or missing. The war was notorious for "ethnic cleansing," the successful Serbian cam- paign to drive Muslims from northern and eastern Bosnia. Of about 2 million people uprooted by the war, 750,000 were non- Serbs from those areas. Bosnian Serbs had to contend with NATO air strikes. Also, U.N. sanctions and diplomacy appeared to put some distance between the Bosnian Serbs, who rejected an international peace plan, and their allies in Serbian Yugoslavia. In October, in recognition of increased cooperation from Belgrade, the U.N. Defense Secretary William Perry asserted that the Bosnian Serbs were still getting war supplies from their fellows across the border.

"Even this great law cannot do the job alone." The law banned many assault firearms, allowed the death penalty for dozens more federal crimes and provided billions of dollars over six years to build prisons and hire police. Clinton handed pens he used to sign the law to two men who had lobbied hard for its passage through congress: Stephen Sposato, whose wife was killed by a gunmen who invaded the offices of the San Francisco law firm where she worked, and Marc Klass, whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and killed.

d Baseball Strike

he 1994 baseball season ended not with a home run or a Tstrikeout, but with a conference call and a fax. On the 34th day of the major league strike, the team owners canceled the rest of the season, including the playoffs and the World Series. "This is a sad day," said acting commissioner Bud Seil in a fax distributed to the news media. He got no argument. Not from Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres, who lost his chance to bat .400. Not from Matt Williams of the San Francisco Giants, who lost his shot at Roger Maris' home run record. Not from superstars Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr., who lost more salary in a day than most Americans earn in a year. And certainly not from the fans, who suffered through a Fall without a World Series for the first time since 1904. The season floun- dered on the owners' insistence on capping player salaries. The players refused to go along, went on strike, and in a little more than a month the season was history. Courtesy of Associated Press

String of Pacific storms led to the deaths of at least A11 people and caused more than $300 million in flood damage across the state of California in January 1995. The storms battered much of the state, from the wine country north of San Francisco to the beaches of Malibu in the south, leaving downed power lines, leaking gas lines and hundreds of dead livestock. In Humboldt County, authorities called on the National Guard to help them collect the rotting carcasses of sheep and dairy cattle that floated down the Eel River.

Library Hours rial

fficials at the PSU Library granted the experimental extended hours another trial term to gain a more accurate Ocount of late-night users. The fall term research regarding the number of people who use the library between the hours of 11 p.m. and midnight has been fruitless, said Amal Naik, student rep- resentative for ASPSU. Many students were unaware of the extended hours and were leaving at the regular time, Naik said. "The numbers have turned out to be inadequate. We will be re-evaluating the situation again for the winter to see if we can do it for the spring," Naik said. "We found that the numbers dropped dramatically between 10 and 11 o'clock, and only 40-60 students showed in the last hour," Naik said. This is a dramatic drop-off from the 180- 200 students that use the library at the 6 o'clock hour, according to the survey conducted by library officials. Student government began lobbying for the new hours in the summer of 1993 by researching the cost benefit and need. In 1994 they presented the idea to PSU President Judith Ramaley. Ramaley agreed with the idea and initiated extended hours for fall term, but only on a trial basis. The agreement for winter term is that the number of people using the library must be adequate to keep the extended hours. Naik said that to keep the new hours for spring of 1995, roughly 100 students must use the library between 11 p.m. and midnight. Naik said the dilemma now is to inform students of the extended hours so the research will be more accurate.

Large Tree Crashes into

gustTncoln of wind blew a large tree into Lincoln Hall on LNovember 30, but did not cause any injuries. A "We're very fortunate. To the direction of the tree fall, no damage was done. The tree could have fallen on the occupied space," said Brian Chase, director of facilities. The tree fell due to old age, shallow roots and strong winds. After the occupants left the rooms, barricades were put up around the fallen tree. No other damage occurred during the storm, except branches breaking off other trees around campus. Chase said no accident such as an uprooted tree has occurred before on Portland State University's campus. The sidewalk in the Park Blocks was closed until the tree was removed. The clean-up of the tree was the responsibility of the City of Portland, because of its location in the Park Blocks. The possible danger posed by the tree fall forced the city to continue an inspection of other trees around campus. The city may consider removing several trees in the future due to old age and disease.

SU Athletic Director Randy Nordlof has tendered his resignation and will take over the position of general manager for the Portland Pride soccer team. P "It fulfills a lot of dreams of mine/' said Nordlof at a press conference Tuesday. "It was strictly a personal move." Associate Athletic Director Teri Mariani will act as interim director until a search for a replacement can be completed. "Once we know what direction we will initiate a search for a new Athletic Director," said PSU President Judith Ramaley in a press release. PSU has to decide whether to apply for Big Sky Conference teams to compete in Division I, except for football which is Division lAA. Conference teams include the Universities of Montana, Idaho, and Eastern Washington. "I am confident PSU is ready to take the next step and look at the Big Sky. If this happens it will allow them to bring in an athletic director to develop their staff and head that direction," Nordlof said. Among Nordlof's last tasks to complete are next year's football schedule, and submission of the Athletics' budget to the IFC. His resignation takes effect on February 13. Nordlof took over as PSU's athletic director on July 1, 1992. His accomplishments include the reduction of the athletic deficit from $1.5 million to $900,000. He said he was proud of the quality of coaching staff and athletes at PSU. "Under his leadership, we have consistently participated in post-season play in several sports, have steadily enhanced the academic opportunities for our student athletes, and have developed new ways for student athletes to provide much-needed service to the community and to encourage young people to do well in school," Ramaley said. Nordlof's announcement comes five months before the Pride's first game on July 24 against Seattle's new expansion team. He sees ownership of the leagues' teams and the salary cap as attributes to the continuation of the Continential Indoor Soccer League. The Pride's new ownership offered the general manager position to Nordlof in hopes of utilizing his marketing experience to focus on the youth audience and the excitement of indoor soccer. Nordlof said he will continue to support his alma mater. "I leave PSU with great memories of the program and am confident they will succeed in the future."
