Column as we see ’em ’88 Predictions by E. A. Berg Co-News Editor During one of the several icy days over Christmas break that left me stranded with nothing to do but play with my new toys or irritate my younger sister, I decid ed to sit down with a cup of hot chocolate and write down my predictions for 1988. What started out as serious, soon turn ed silly. Here they are, E.A. Berg’s First (and probably last) Annual New Year’s Predictions: Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois will be the Democratic nominee for president. To balance out the ticket with someone more conser vative, Sen. Al Gore of Tennessee will be his running mate. Vice President George Bush will be the Republican nominee. To balance out the ticket with so meone more conservative, Rep. Jack Kemp of New York will be his running mate. Simon will narrowly be elected the next President of the United States. Oregon Gov. Neil Goldschmidt will be mentioned as a possible Democratic vice presidential nominee. The College will pass a proper ty tax levy in March. Fawn Hall will sell out and do a trashy photo layout or promote a product. Her former boss, Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North, will be convicted of something and be pardoned by President Reagan. Reagan will continue to forget things. The Democrats will continue to control both chambers of Con gress. The Democrats will lose con trol of the Oregon House of Representatives. They will, however, continue to control the state senate. The AIDS epidemic will worsen. The national debt will continue to rise. Gary Hart will drop out of the presidential race after Super Tuesday. The Senate will ratify the most recent superpower arms control agreement with some minor amendments. Oregon voters will reject another marijuana initiative. The same voters will fail to support a common proposal to do something about school finance. Right-wing Republican Sens. Orin Hatch of Utah and Jesse Helms of North Carolina won’t shut up. Former President Richard Nix on will write another book that won’t get on a best seller list. William Kennedy will be con firmed by the Senate as a Supreme Court Justice. The Pope won’t do another US Tour. U2 will continue to be the best rock’n’roll band in the world. The Dharma Bums . will emerge as the Portland areas best rock’n’roll band. John (please don’t call me “Cougar”) Mellencamp will replace Bruce Springsteen as America’s most popular populist. “Bad” won’t sell the 100 million copies that Michael Jackson thinks it will. Jim and Tammy Baker will return to PTL and Heritage USA, then go to jail. William Casey, former CIA chief, and Jimmy Hoffa, former Teamsters President, will come out of hiding, then go to jail. Andy Warhol will come out of hiding and write a book. Elvis Presley and Jim Mor rison will come out of hiding. Both will cut an album. Both John and Robert Ken nedy won’t come out of hiding.
