Reveille VI lays down for

1993-94: a year
to reflect upon
F inals begin today and unless
you have a test in history, that
subject is probably the furthest
thing from your mind.
Regardless, another school year
has come and gone and many events
have transpired that changed our
world — locally and globally.
In 1993-94 we saw the cycle of
life work its natural course. New hu
mans entered this world and loved
ones departed.
Whether it was a young rock star
or a respected politician who passed
on, the time they spent here deserves
mention because our leaders in polit
ical and popular culture reflect our
society.
The passing of notable figures is
followed by reflection as to what will
— or will not — be missed by their
departures.
With worldwide conflicts escalat
ing in Bosnia, Rwanda, Haiti and
Korea, the role the world, the United
States and our local community
plays changes daily.
No person needs to address these
issues more than the president. But
these are tough issues and President
Clinton’s attention was divided this
year.
Whether through personal prob
lems or health care, First Lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton gained her
share of the limelight through the
year as well.
But more than politics, this past
year saw many timeless events occur
in sports.
We saw a basketball great leave
the sport to pursue another dream —
baseball.
We saw the heavyweight title
change hands again and we saw a
world champion football team back
up its title.
Away from sports, this year we
saw nearly as many weddings as di
vorces.
And also in this year, we saw an
other university grappling with the
same gender issue A&M tackled 20
years ago. Like A&M, The Citadel
will surely be the better for it.
Speaking of grappling, this year
we saw the A&M administration and
athletic department come under fire.
Away from the University, this
year saw NASA, famed for failure,
successfully repair the Hubble tele
scope.
In no way is “The Year in Re
view” comprehensive, it merely high
lights a few names that appeared at a
few places in time.
If you get a chance, try to think
back and soak up the changes that
have taken place over the past year in
our town, our state, our country and
our world.
