VISITS TO THE HOMESTEAP ARE ALWAYS
SO UTTERLY REFRESHING
World
Continued from Page 1
Olympics
This summer, the United States
led the Olympic games in Atlanta,
with a total of 101 medals — 44
gold, 32 silver and 25 bronze.
The games began on Saturday,
July 20, and ended on Sunday, Aug.
4. More than 11,000 athletes repre
sented 197 countries, making it the
largest Olympics ever.
Matthew Hunt, a senior finance
major, worked for Reebok, issuing
uniforms to athletes from more
than 45 countries.
“I felt it (the Olympics) was pret
ty cool — it was right in our back
yard,” Hunt said.
He said he “fell in love with the
Olympics,” and is trying now to find
a job with a company that is going
to the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Although Hunt enjoyed his
experiences at the Atlanta
Olympics, he said the games
had a downside, too.
“I think it became too commer
cialized,” Hunt said. “It was all
about money.” ^
Hunt said the athletes were nice
and friendly, but the advertise
ments surrounding the Olympic
games were overbearing.
“I thought the Olympics were
supposed to be about athletics, not
fighting for dollars,” he said.
Hunt said he was able to watch a
few of the women’s basketball
games during his stay in Atlanta.
“It was interesting to see how
well the women’s sports did,” he
said.
A week into the games on July
27, a pipe bomb exploded in Cen
tennial Park, killing one woman
and injuring more than 100 people.
Hunt was asleep when the bomb
exploded, but his roommate woke
him to tell him about the bomb.
The explosion stunned the na
tion and Olympic participants.
“I couldn’t believe it (the bomb)
happened,” Hunt said. “I was just in
shock. I didn’t think the games
should be stopped.”
Hunt said the unexpectedness of
the bomb showed that the United
States is not as safe as it seems.
“We’re really not as safe as we
think we are,” he said. “You think
in America you’re safe because
this is America.”
As of Oct. 26, Richard Jewell, the
security officer who discovered the
bomb, was the only suspect in the
case. He was cleared as a suspect
this fall.
The FBI is still searching for
the bomber.
Presidential Election
On Nov. 5, President Bill Clinton
defeated Bob Dole to return to of
fice for a second term. He will be in
augurated in January.
Mother Teresa
Nobel Peace Prize winner Moth
er Teresa has been in and out of the
hospital this year. The Rev. Mike Sis
of St. Mary’s Catholic Church said
the world has been watching
hospitalization closely.
“A couple of weeks ago we
lot of praying as a communit)
her,” Sis said.
The 86-year-old nun suffei
heart attack on Nov. 22 and
derwent surgery for a blockj
artery Nov. 29.
Tuesday, a mild electric shi
corrected Mother Teresa’s irre]
heartbeat. CNN reported she a;
to go home the same day. Her di
tors say she may be able to rei
home by Christmas.
Military Sex Scandal
This past year, military persoi
nel have been the target of sevej
sexual harassment accusation
Cases have been brought up inv®
ous military bases in the Unil
States, such as Fort Hood in Kl
and Army Ordnance Centering
erdeen, Md.
Kenneth Webb, a junior compi
er engineering major inV-l,Sc
can see both the civilian and
tary sides of the issue.
“From a civilian standpoint
can see how a lot of people begin 1 i i
think this is a big problem,’'
said. “From a military point of#
for the most part... it’s a shock.”
Webb said every case should t*
investigated, and he predictssoffl^
accusations will be true, butotl!('
cases will not be convincing.
“I think that scandals liketfc
are going to happen,” Webbsak
“True or not, you have to investi
gate everything.”
