IRAN CRISIS VS. U.S.
The Iran crisis is something
that should not be forgotten by
anyone for any reason. The crisis
had a lot to do with the Presid-
ential out come. Many people
believe that Jimmy Carter would
have been re-elected if the
hostages would have been re-
leased. Ronald Reagan needs
to do something about the Iran
crisis right away. The host-
ages have now been held in
captivity for 376 days.
Nobody really knows how
the hostages have been treated
except the hostages themselves.
The rescue attempt by President
Carter was in poor taste and
only made matters worse.
Let's keep the hostages in mind
and hope Ronald Reagan does
something about the situation.
The Iranians now believe that
the United States is a pushover
and that even little countries
can push the U.S. around.
Let's hope this is a subject
to change very quickly.

REAGAN WINS BY
A LANDSLIDE
The United States has a new
president elect, Ronald Reagan.
Mr. Reagan, the Republican
candidate, won the presidential
race by a landslide over Pres-
ident Carter, the Democratic
candidate, and Independent John
Anderson.
Gov. Reagan went well over
the 270 needed electorial votes
and also defeated President
Carter in the popular votes with
a wide margin.
Reagan will be the 40th
president and the American
citizens will look up to him
for strong leadership in the
future.
