SeaWorld Admits it Sent

Employees to Spy on PETA
By Jimmy Irwin
Staff Writer
SeaWorld has admitted that
it sent in employees to integrate with and spy on animal
rights group PETA.
The CEO of the amusement
park company, Joel Manby,
owned up to allegations of
such activities by SeaWorld on
Thursday.
He told the press that the
purpose of the operation was
to maintain the safety and security of company employees,
customers and animals in the
face of credible threats.
Last year, PETA called out
a SeaWorld employee named
Paul McComb for creating
posts on social media urging
activists to engage in illegal activity. He used an alias online.
When interviewed about it,
PETA Senior Vice President
Lisa Lange stated, SeaWorld
knows that the public is rejecting its cruel orca prisons and
is so desperate that it created
a corporate espionage campaign.
SeaWorld has been greatly
harmed by the 2013 documentary Blackfish, a film targeted at
exposing the living conditions

of orcas in the parks, and the

ways that the company transports the whales.
The film generated public
fury and even protests at the
parks. SeaWorld has seen its
stock lose over 50% of its value since Blackfish was released,
with attendance and park profits eroding as well.
Responding to the animal mistreatment charged by
Blackfish, Mr. Manby replied,
These allegations, if true, are
not consistent with the values
of the SeaWorld organization
and will not be tolerated.
SeaWorld has been highly vocal in its response to the
film, engaging PR firm 42West
to counter the criticism.
The company pledged to
spend upwards of $10 million
to restore satisfactory profitability with targeted print, television, and other campaigns.
On March 3, SeaWorld officials reported that Tilikum, the
whale prominently featured in
Blackfish, had fallen gravely ill.
For a company already struggling to regain public trust, the
spying confession and news of
Tilikums ailment may prove
difficult to rebound from.

As the Democratic and Republican conventions draw
near, the candidates are in
whirlwind campaign mode to
secure votes in nationwide primaries and caucuses.
On Super Tuesday, Donald
Trump and Hillary Clinton secured their leads to take home
the majority of delegates. In
the GOP race, Ted Cruz secured his second-place status
while Democrat Bernie Sanders won four states, scoring a
commanding 86% victory in
his home state of Vermont.
In the days leading up to
March 1st, commonly known
as Super Tuesday, chaos ensued within the Republican
party.
The partys frontrunner,
Donald Trump, faced multiple
attacks from his fellow candidates Ted Cruz and Marco
Rubio, who labeled Trump a
con artist, a liar, and unfit
to run against the likely Democratic nominee.

support (there was never a formal endorsement) at a press

conference, Trump went on
CNNs State of the Union days
later and told Jake Tapper he

David Duke or white supremacists endorsing him. Trump
later blamed his answer on a
bad ear-piece, telling the Today
Show he could hardly hear
what [Tapper] was saying.
As polls opened on March
1st, however, Trumps supporters were unfazed by these
attacks and/or controversies,
and he managed to clinch a total of seven states by the end of
the night: Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia.
Cruz secured an unexpectedly close second place, taking three states and leaving
with only 35 delegates less
than Trumps final 252. This
included his predicted victory
in Texas as well as unexpected
successes in Oklahoma and
Alaska. The latter coup for

La Jolla High School now

has a new security guard on
campus.
Shelly Villegas will be joining Mr. David Bueno (left)
in patrolling the campus and
keeping the school secure.
Principal Dr. Chuck Podhorsky said the process of hiring a guard has been a long
one. He has been working on it
since the start of the year.

He says that to his knowledge we have fewer security

guards than most campuses.
Mr. Bueno said, It helps to
have someone else because she
can watch the 900 building
while I can stay at the lower
part of campus. That way we
divide the school and ensure
its safety.
Bueno continued: We really
need a female so she can monitor the girls bathrooms as I am
not allowed in there and there
is a lot of stuff going on.

High School Threats Are Increasing:

How To Tackle This Concerning Issue
By Sara Espinosa
Editor-in-Chief
After WWII, the fear of a
nuclear war led many facilities
to designate a shelter underground in case of attacks. The
cause behind these measures
was a matter of a national
threat from our enemies at the
time. The threats that plague
us today, however, often come
from our very own people.
On September 17th, 2015,
students and staff at LJHS were
forced to lock doors and crouch
under tables due to several
threatening calls that prompted 11 high schools around the
county to go into lockdown.
The calls were placed minutes
apart and contained bomb and
active-shooter threats. On February 9th, 2016, another wave
of threatening calls prompted
a lockdown in four schools.
Even though school violence
is not new to the world, it is
becoming more common and,
often, deadlier.
After the Columbine High
School massacre in 1999,
schools started to take more
precautions when it came to
threats. Lockdown procedures
were introduced to the usual
drill schedule, during which
students were taught to hide
silently in dark classrooms.
Even still, incidents such as
the one that occurred at Sandy
Hook Elementary in 2012 or,
more recently, Umpqua Community College in Oregon
in 2015, are still taking place
throughout the country. Some
blame guns; others blame the
mentally unstable. Umpqua
shooter Christopher Harper-Mercer, was a 26-year-old
student at the college. Sandy
Hook gunman Adam Lanza
was a 20-year-old who murdered his mother before going on a rampage at the local
elementary school. The fact is

that no matter who is to blame,

this is an ongoing problem that
will not go away if we dont do
something about it. These are
serious incidents that involve
dozens, sometimes hundreds,
of injuries and deaths. Hoaxes
and jokes are only taken seriously because the lives of people are at stake.
A study conducted by The
Academy for Critical Incident
Analysis at John Jay College
showed that there were 27
school killing incidents in the
U.S. alone in the course of ten
years, while 36 countries combined together only experienced 28 in the same amount
of time. Schools are supposed
to be a safe place where students can learn without disturbances, not where they become
targets of hate and violence.
The sad reality is that mass
shootings, specifically those
involving schools, seem to
have become part of our regular lives.
People are taking advantage
of the hypersensitivity of todays world to carry on often
elaborate but selfish plans, calling in false threats that disturb
the peace and force schools
to act. Punishment does not
seem to be severe enough to
prevent fake threats from being called in. For minors, penalties include long visits to juvenile hall, while for adults its
often large sums of money and
even jail time. Investigations
should be treated seriously to
find the culprit behind the act.
This will not only set the right
example, but it will ensure the
safety of school campuses, just
as airports do by not taking
bomb jokes lightly. We must
stop and reflect about the impact that these crimes impose
on our society because the boy
that cried wolf had the first
laugh, but the wolf had the last.

The Stigma Behind Prestigious

College Sweatshirt Names
By Brooke Kaufman
Staff Writer
Wearing college sweatshirts
has become a fashion trend of
sorts.
Like Birkenstocks and Calvin Klein logo wear, dressing
oneself in a hoodie from your
favorite university has essentially become the sign of cool
among high school students in
America.
In the past, students didnt
begin wearing the fan gear
of their favorite schools until they were either admitted
or enrolled in the university;
it now seems, however, as if
teens from all grades of high
school are jumping on the logo-clothing bandwagon and
emptying their pockets for
gear from schools that they are
most likely to not even attend.
Seriously, if every kid that
wore a Harvard sweatshirt got
into the school, the university
would not maintain its present
acceptance rate of just 5.9%.
A hierarchy of sorts is also
involved in the college sweatshirt world. For example, wearing a Yale hoodie to school, as
opposed to one representing
a community college in Delaware, is obviously going to attract a lot more looks of appreciation due to Yales reputation
as one of the best and brightest
schools in the country.
It doesnt even matter if you
want to go to Yale or not; what

matters is if you have the sense

to wear the sweatshirt that
symbolizes prestige and reputation, rather than the one
representing Delaware and its
community college system.
So, basically, the money
spent today by teens and their
parents on college gear is not
coming from a place of interest
in the school itself, but rather
from a place of sheer determination by teenagers to keep up
with high school and its ohso-ever-changing system of
trends.
And while the majority of
Harvard sweatshirt-wearers
have zero interest in actually
applying to the school, there
are the golden few that actually
care about the logo across their
chest and what it represents in
terms of their education and
future.
An easy way to tell the difference between the fakes and the
true Ivy hopefuls? Check to see
if the clothing is from Urban
Outfitters or the university itself.
Overall, the stigma behind
college sweatshirts can best
be described as a passing fad.
While they will most likely
never be taken off the college
profit market, the probability
of their remainder as symbols
of status and popularity is slim,
and their significance is more
than likely destined to fade
away in due time.

How Your Opinion Can Affect How You Perceive Information

By Zoe Mendel
Staff Writer
In a newspaper, readers
generally expect an unbiased
stream of information to give
them background on a subject. From there, the audience
can form their own opinion on
rising controversies or news.
Some news networks, mainly
CBS and Fox News, show bias
in their stream of news concerning political and media
figures.
A study of news coverage in
2004 showed Fox News reporting more negatively towards
the Democratic convention,
and as a result many viewers
exhibited a change of attitude
that reflected a higher opinion of the Republican party. In
other studies, many Fox view-

ers were found to have misconceptions about some key

points concerning the U.S.s
war with Iraq.
Why am I talking about Fox
news in our own newspaper,
the Hi-Tide? Recent complaints highlight one major
controversy in our paper: bias.
There are some sections of this
newspaper that have bias in
them - theyre supposed to.
Our opinions pages are full
of bias: thats the point of an
opinions page. Our political cartoons are also biased;
theyre meant to artistically
and satirically show our opinions and try to persuade others
to form their own. Sometimes,
even our articles written for
the Features or Arts & Entertainment section are supposed

to be written with bias. How

do you write a movie review
with no personal opinion?
It is understood that an article published in our last issue has caused controversy, as
many of our articles do, but
this one was particularly problematic because it was placed
under the News section, an
ideally unbiased section. The
article titled Bioscience Center: Ready To Break Ground
was seen by some to show biased or faulty information.
The article, however, does
not include personal bias. The
authors of the piece did not
explicitly state their own opinion, saying I think or I
disagree followed by a personal statement. In fact, a lot of
the article takes care to address

both sides of the argument, including the complaints of the

teachers and also the positive
feelings they expressed. Had
the authors only explained
one side of the argument, regardless of personal statement,
then that would be biased. Instead, they showed both sides.
The only bias showed, in my
own opinion, which is a biased
opinion, is the fact that our
authors may have provided a
sympathetic tone for one side
of the issue and not the other.
In conclusion, I understand that our newspaper has
shown bias; where you see
bias, though, depends on your
opinion. In the future, we hope
to correct that and take care to
show an even distribution of
thought.

Why Apple is Right on Encryption

By Ryan Robson
News Editor
Apple CEO Tim Cooks position
on the San Bernardino shooters iPhone is as much about national security as the FBIs.
Missing the background? What
the FBI has essentially asked Apple
to do is create a new operating system (OS) for use by law enforcement
on iPhones that would allow investigators to break into its data by brute
force. Once Apple delivers the iPhone with the modified software,
an FBI computer can rapidly enter
passcodes - 1111, 1112, 1113, and so
on - until it strikes a match.
The FBI says that this OS will be
used only in the case of Syed Farooks
device, and will not create a back
door to encryption, the digital security process built into a locked iPhone.
If this OS is created, however, it
will have a broad and chilling effect
on the security of people against
hackers and surveillance worldwide.
The process of encryption functions much like a vault: some contents are present inside but nobody is
able to access these contents without
the correct code.
Unlike a physical lock that requires a person turning dials to guess
the combination, however, computers can feed a digital lock hundreds,
possibly even thousands, of possible
inputs per minute.
In other words, Apple will be creating a tool that would allow a safecracker to wire up a device to a vault
which will run all the possible combos and notify the cracker when the
safe is open.
This might sound like a useful
tool for our security agencies; after
all, we do want to collect any intelligence available about the shooter to
prevent more terrorist attacks in the
future.
The problem lies in the fact that,
just like a locksmiths universal key,
this tool has the potential to be very
dangerous if it is used outside this
terrorism investigation, and it will.

U.S. law enforcement agencies

already have hundreds of iPhones
lined up to be unlocked, likely ranging from terrorists to petty thieves,
and other judges will not hesitate to
ask Apple to use their OS one more
time in these cases.
Due to the borderless nature of
technology, however, the implications of such a systems existence
would reach far beyond US jurisdiction. Such a tool would be the
beginning of a broad unraveling of
encryption - the technology that has
made our technology firms prosperous worldwide and ensured the security of our citizens and military.
Presidential candidates from
Clinton to Rubio have insisted that
they would get tech companies to sit
down with the government and figure out how to create a secure back
door to encrypted content, letting
agents such as those in the FBI in
(with a warrant), but keeping nefarious hackers out.
This would be virtually impossible and leave tremendous room for
abuse.
Weve already seen the damages over $35 million - to Sony Pictures
Entertainment as a result of a cyberattack that originated from North
Korea. If we were to create a true
back door, it would not be a godsend
for law enforcement; it would be an
open invitation for Chinese, Russian,
and domestic criminals and hackers
as well. Remember the celebrities
that had their private photos leaked
in 2014? If the U.S. were to loosen
personal device security, your credit
card details would be next.
Director Sam Mendes warned
viewers about the risks in the latest
Bond film, SPECTRE. Against Bond
and Ms wishes, British intelligence
erects a mass-surveillance apparatus
in London. Unbeknownst to them,
a criminal agency taps into the data
stream from a remote desert and
uses the powerful information obtained by the good guys to wreak
havoc upon the world. So it goes?
More practically, an encryption

Meat The Future:

back door would cripple the U.S.

technology industry. In 2015, the
European Court of Justice invalidated the U.S.-E.U. Safe Harbor
framework. That decision forbade
companies from storing European
Union citizens data on American
soil, where it would be subject to
the surveillance revealed by Edward
Snowden. As a result of this landmark decision, Google and Facebook
have already begun building massive
new data centers in Europe, moving
technology jobs and influence away
from North America.
Another unintended consequence
would be the erosion of civil liberties in authoritarian countries. If
the FBIs wish is granted, China and
a host of other nations would show
up and demand Apple provide them
with the same tool.
Perhaps most important of all,
we must realize that encryption
transcends legal or legislative restrictions. It is an outgrowth of the
field of mathematics. If we were to
(hypothetically) outlaw encryption
in the land of the free, exposing
our emails and notes and photos to
surveillance and cyberattacks, there
would still be absolutely nothing to
prevent terrorists from creating their
own encrypted apps and services far
further outside our control than Silicon Valley-based companies. In fact,
it would probably be a great revenue
stream for them!
There is a reason why so many are
standing firm against the FBI on this
matter. Google, Facebook, Twitter,
AT&T, and eBay are just a few who
have joined with Apple to resist the
FBIs intrusion on our real national
security.
[FBI Director Jim Comey] would
like a back door available to American law enforcement in all devices globally, said former NSA chief
General Michael Hayden.
And, frankly, I think on balance
that actually harms American safety
and security, even though it might
make Jim's job a bit easier in some
specific circumstances.

Could Our Meat Production Move to Laboratories?

By Alexa Kideys
Staff Writer
Today, meat is still part of a
central diet around the world.
As the world consumption rate
of meat grows higher and higher each year, it becomes harder
for food industries to keep up
with the rate of demand.
A solution to this, however,
appeared just last year when
a Dutch team of researchers
from Maastricht University
successfully grew the worlds
first burger in a lab. This new
lab grown meat is known as
in-vitro meat.
Even though this is a monumental triumph in the field
of science, the topic of actually distributing and consuming
this lab meat is quite controversial.
The main problem is that
most people are off-put by the
very idea of their meat coming from a petridish because
its unnatural. This argument
doesnt hold up well because if
you think about it, isnt most of
the food we eat on a daily basis even more unnatural? With
all the processing, GMOs, and
chemicals we ingest day-to-

day, lab grown meat is far more

natural, seeing as it uses the
original stem cells of healthy
cows.
The idea that in-vitro meat
would be unsafe is also invalid
because the FDA would need
to perform numerous tests in
order to approve its safety before it could ever hit the market.
Another argument many
have is that producing in-vitro meat will be too expensive
since it is such a new technology. This is true, but although
the installation of this new
technology may be expensive
at first, it would eventually pay
off in a short amount of time
and thus provide a cheaper,
more efficient way to produce
meat since these industries
would now be able to cut the
costs of the maintenance,
space, and the time consuming nature of generating meat.
In-vitro meat would also produce less waste, which is great
for the environment seeing as
the amount of waste is increasing year after year.
Growing meat in labs would
also prove to be eco-friendly

because it would reduce the

land degradation that occurs
when we decide to raise livestock on areas with fertile soil
that could be used for growing
crops.
An additional benefit of lab
grown meat is that it is more
sanitary, since labs are cleaner than farms, where diseases
such as swine flu can develop
and be transmitted to humans
when contaminated meat is
eaten. It also would be healthier because scientists have full
control over the fat and nutritional content in the meat they
create.
The positives of using in-vitro meat in place of naturally
grown meat largely outweigh
any possible negatives. If
youre not convinced, just
think of how many animals
youll save by not ingesting the
meat of an innocent animal,
but something that was created by people without harming
animals instead.
Lab grown meat is likely to
become a central source for
meat within the next few years
whether you like it or not, so
prepare to meat the future.

90 YEAR ANNIVERSARY Hi-Tide

Respecting
Video Games
As A Form of Narrative
Photo Courtesy of Wikicommons

By Austin Iverson
Staff Writer
In todays society we have
as many ways to ingest content
and media as we can think of.
Some prefer the episodic style
of television, the experience
of going to the theaters and
watching a movie on the big
screen, or the imagination and
freedom a reader is allowed in
books. My personal favorite
method of storytelling, however, is video games. Now before
you stop reading this because
of what I just said, hear me out.
The majority of people Ive
met who I try to convince of
the legitimacy of video games
as a form of storytelling, laugh
in my face. This isnt their fault,
though; this is just the way society views video games and is
similar to any other stereotype.
The only exposure they get to
video games are for the big
budget advertisements on TV
from games like Call of Duty.
They dont understand how
something in the same category as Call of Duty, something
that to them seems like mindless gun worship and violence,
could tell a heart-felt story. The
truth is, though, just like video
games have the Call of Duty's,
television, movies, and books
have The Real Housewives of
(enter city here), the Transformers series and The Notebook. Every medium of storytelling has its version of junk
food, or things you might enjoy but know contain little to
no substance in comparison to
other, more substantial offerings available.
And just as video games
have their versions of junk
food, they also have substantial
offerings as well. The majority
of video games are made for
a more mature audience with
the purpose of telling a story or
bringing emotions out of the
player. The Last of Us is a game
about a man named Joel living
in a bleak depiction of society
overrun by zombies. His task is
to escort a girl named Ellie to
a laboratory halfway across the
infected United States because
she is seemingly immune to
the virus. In the beginning, he
views it as a routine smuggling
operation, but over the course
of the journey you watch their
relationship grow and blossom
to the point that they develop
a father-daughter type relationship where Joel would do
absolutely anything to ensure
Ellies survival.
In Red Dead Redemption,

you play as John Marston,

an outlaw in the Wild West
promised amnesty by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
if he brings the other three
members of his former gang
to justice. Its a gripping tale
of revenge that puts the player
in the American frontier circa
1911, controlling a man who
fits the bill for the archetypal
cowboy hero as the wild west
fades around him and he is
surpassed by technology.
Not only do many video
games tell excellent stories,
their method of doing so is
also unrivaled by any other
medium. A video game can
run from around 4 hours long
to 200 in some extreme cases. This means that the player
has that much more time to
develop a relationship with
the characters. The Last of Us
took me about 20 hours to
beat, meaning 20 hours I spent
watching Joel and Ellies relationship evolve from strangers,
to friends, to father-daughter,
to Ellie gaining the confidence
she needs to support herself
while Joel is injured and Joel
eventually returning the favor.
When you spend 20 hours
with two of the best written
and acted characters in all of
storytelling, you become intensely attached and care that
much deeper about every little
thing that happens to them.
This aspect of bonding with
the characters for extended
periods of time is, in my mind,
one of the biggest examples of
what sets video games apart
from other mediums of telling
stories.
An aspect of story unique
to video games is interactivity. When you play a game, you
are immersed in the world and
believe for a little while that
you are the character projected
on the screen. In some games,
you even make the characters
decisions within the narrative
that directly and immensely
shape the games story, adding
even another layer of identity
with the characters not offered
in film or books.
When the player is immersed in the game world,
relating with the characters
they control, and making story altering decisions, climactic
moments of triumph, sorrow,
and death carry that much
more emotional weight. Video
games are a form of art with
excellent narrative that deserve to be regarded equally
among other mediums.

Girls Water Polo

Swim to CIF

By Maia Pearl
Staff Writer
The La Jolla Womens Varsity
Water Polo team has had a very
successful season consisting
of 25 wins so far. The season
started with two tournaments
in Orange County (El Durado
and El Nino). The girls placed
first in both.
The team remained undefeated until they played our
rivals, The Bishops School, on
the 14th of January. The game
was incredibly close, with La
Jolla leading the whole game.
Bishops managed to tie up the
score in the last couple seconds.
The game went into over
time (two 3-minute periods),
and both teams scored. The
game then went into sudden
death, where whichever team
scores first, wins. Unfortunately, Bishops was the first to
score, winning the game 10-9.
The next time our girls played
the Knights, we came out victorious with a 6-5 win.
The season consisted of lots
of hard work and training, including swim practices before
school, lifting weights after
practice, and working with a
mental skills coach to improve
both their mental as well as
their physical game. Their hard
work has really paid off, as the
Lady Vikes seeded first in the
open division, for CIF. On Sat-

urday, January 20th, they beat

El Camino 11-3. On Thursday
the 25th, the girls played Valhalla, and emerged victorious,
the final score was 14-6. CIF
finals took place Saturday,
the 27th. The La Jolla Vikings
played the Bishops Knights.
The game started off with
Bishops scoring the first goal.
Ciara Franke scored the Vikings first goal, the quarter
ended with Bishops in the lead,
2-1. Sydney Boland scored the
first goal of the second quarter.
It was an amazing shot, with
a girl on her back; she lobbed
it over the goalie, bringing the
game to a tie. Bishops then
scored 2 more goals, and at
half time the score was 4-2. In
the third quarter, Karli Canale scored our third goal. The
third quarter ended with Bishops still in the lead, 4-3. Bishops scored their fifth goal in
the fourth quarter.
Lexi Atwell scored the final
goal of the game, leaving us
at 5-4. The La Jolla Vikings
played their hearts out, and
finished as the second runner
up. Katy Koenig, a freshman
on varsity, is remaining positive about the situation. We
worked so hard for the title
and its heart-breaking to not
come in first. I know we will
train very hard over the summer and next season, and kick
their butts next year at CIF!

The Coxless Crew Rows Rugged

British Women Row Across the Pacific Ocean, Only Stopping Twice
in Hawaii and the Samoan Islands

By Zoe Mendel
Staff Writer
Aboard the Doris, a 29 footlong boat, a team of six British
women, called The Coxless
Crew, endured the experience
of rowing tirelessly for 9,200
miles across the Pacific Ocean.
Their goal? To reach Australia in just 257 days, including
two stops at Hawaii and the
Samoan islands. These women crossed the finish line at
Cairns in Queensland city.
The founder of the Coxless
Crew, Laura Penhaul, 32, is a

physiotherapist working for

the British Paralympics Athletics, as well as a marathon
runner, cyclist, and triathlete.
Natalia Cohen, 40, is an adventure tour leader and manager
with experience in more than
50 countries.
Emma Mitchell, 30, has
rowed for England. She is an
ex-Cambridge Blue with experience from competing in the
Boat Race. Isabel Burnham, 31,
has also rowed for Cambridge,
and was with the team for the
first leg, from San Francisco to
Hawaii. Lizanne van Vuuren,

27, an osteopath, was with the

crew for the second leg, from
Hawaii to Samoa. Finally, Meg
Dyos, the youngest crew member at 25, helped the crew finish from Samoa to Cairns.
The expedition had originally been planned to only
take six months, but even after setbacks, the crew has set
two world records; the first
all-female team, and the first
team in general to row the Pacific with only four members
on board. The crew split into
pairs, with two women rowing
at once for two hours, while

the others took 90-minute

naps. This amounted to twelve
hours of rowing a day, and six
hours of sleep.
To keep energy levels afloat,
each woman consumed 5,000
calories per day via freeze
dried meals, protein bars,
chocolate, fruits, nuts, and desalinated seawater (and all the
women still lost weight).
Sleeping in a cabin the size
of a two-person tent, the crew
used this space as a kitchen,
living room, dining room,
and office. Activities like tooth
brushing and changing clothes

had to take place lying down

or leaning over the deck, as the
cabin was too low to stand in.
During their journey, the
team endured a tropical storm
with waves the size of houses,
and a humpbacked whale that
breached only yards from their
boat. Each member lasted
through painful sores, extreme
heat, and muscle fatigue. All of
this for a good cause; not only
did they set world records,
the Coxless Crew was raising
money for two charities and
filming a documentary titled
Losing Sight of Shore.

GENTLEMEN:

February 23, 2016, will go
down in NASCAR history as
one of the greatest Daytona
500 finishes in its 58 year-long
history. First time Daytona 500
winner Denny Hamlin was
able to hold off second place
contender Martin Truenx, Jr.,
in the final moments of the 4
hour race. Coming as an even
bigger shock to fans, the long
time leader and 2015 Daytona champ, Joey Logano, was
bumped out of 1st and finished
the race in the 6th place slot.
This win comes as a first to
both Hamlin and Joe Gibbs

Racing, and also stands as

owner Gibbs first personal
win in 23 years.
While speaking with reporters, Hamlin credited his teammate Matt Kenneth as someone who was a tremendous
help to him through the race.
Once in the final lap, Hamlin
was able to get a run on the
outside and squeeze by setting
up the photo finish, beating
out Truenx, Jr., by 0.011 seconds, the closest finish in Daytona history.
According to USA Today,
Hamlin was quoted saying of
his win: I don't know where
that came from. I cant even

figure out what I did. It all just

came together
Though the finish was close
and for some questionable,
second place contender Marti
Truenx, Jr., was nothing but a
good sport saying, [Im] really proud of everybody. Really
proud of the teamwork with
the guys. Were team players,
and were in it for the long
haul. Congrats to Denny. He
beat me by a couple of feet.
This win sets up Hamlin and
his team for the Chase for the
Sprint Cup on February 28, a
race that he has previously finished in the top 5 three of the
past 4 years.

The La Jolla High Mens Varsity Basketball team competed
in the CIF finals against La
Jolla Country Day on Friday,
March 4. This was an epic way
to finish out their 19-11 season.
Head coach Paul Baranoski
had some interesting tactics
for helping the boys succeed.
As well as lifting weights, Baranoski had them practice yoga.
Charlie Gal, a sophomore,
enjoyed the yoga. He believes
that yoga is a nice break since
basketball can be exhausting,
both physically and mentally.
He also says that It helps us
to stay fresh and be less sore
throughout the season.
Some of the big games that

the team took part in were

against our rival school, The
Bishops School, as well as
Lincoln High and University
City High. The Vikings prevailed against Bishops with a
59-51 score. La Jolla earned
their 14th victory of the season against Lincoln. Finally,
the team crushed UC, on their
senior night, coming through
with a 55-47 win.
As the season wound down
into CIF, the boys played 3
games before their final match.
They played against Canyon
Crest Academy, Helix High,
and West Hills. The last game
was against La Jolla Country Day, which took place at
USD. The boys were up with a
10-point lead at half time, with
a score of 37-27. Somehow

LJCD took the lead, and the

score in the last minute was
64-59. After La Jolla Country Day managed another 2
points, Reed Farely was fouled,
stepped up and took 2 free
throws. This brought the final
score of the game to a devastating 66-61.
This game was truly heart
breaking, although Reed Farely kept a positive outlook on
things.
It was an awesome season,
and one of the most successful
ones weve had in a while. We
were able to pick up the momentum going into the postseason, which is what really
mattered. I feel like we all grew
individually, and collectively,
which gave us the opportunity
to make it as far as we did.

After 18 Years, Manning Has Said His

Long-Awaited Farewell
By Jessica Penner
Staff Writer
After 18 incredible years as
an NFL quarterback, Peyton
Manning says that it's time to
retire. During his retirement
speech, Manning thanked his
family, his teams and coaches,
and, most of all, his fans.
He said that fans are at the
core of what makes this game
remarkable. He thanked them
for their continued support

and for giving him a voice on

the field and off. Not only will
people recognize and remember Manning for his playing
but also for his active role in
other public affairs. He has
been in numerous commercials, most recently the Nationwide commercials.
His career has been incredible and is a model for aspiring
athletes all over. He had a short
amount of time to thank two

NFL teams and the University

of Tennessee.
He also tried to summarize
his 18 seasons, 5 MVP awards,
two Super Bowl wins, and a
slew of records.
Manning summed up his
career briefly but memorably:
"Well, I fought the good fight.
I've finished my football race
and after 18 years, it's time.
God bless all of you and God
bless football.''

Is Bigger Really
Better?
By Nora Becker
Staff Writer
Are American football players obese? The short answer,
by BMI standards, is yes. Researchers Jeffrey Potteiger
and Maggie McGowan-Stinski
published a study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that concluded
that from 1942 to 2011 the
average weight of professional
linebackers has increased by
60 pounds.
Some refreshers: a linebacker puts the tackle in tackle
football. Theyre tall and big.
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is
a measure of body fat. Its taken by dividing the body mass
by the square of the height. A
BMI of over 30 constitutes a
person as obese. It doesnt account, however, for the fact
that muscle is denser than fat.
A person gaining muscle may
gain weight, causing their BMI
to increase. For muscle-heavy
people such as NFL players, a
high BMI doesnt necessarily
equate to being unhealthy.
But being an athlete doesnt
necessarily equate to being immune to disease either. Metabolic Syndrome is a collection
of at least three of the following factors, which raise the
risk for heart disease, diabetes,
and stroke: abdominal obesity, high triglyceride levels, low
HDL (or good) cholesterol

levels, high blood pressure,

and high blood sugar.
A 2008 study done by the
Cardiovascular Institute at
Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York found that
nearly 60% of former NFL
linemen had Metabolic Syndrome, compared to less than
one-third of the general population of the same age. Football
players also had a 52% greater
chance of dying from cardiovascular disease than the general public.
While NFL players have
gotten heavier throughout the
years, so have Americans as
a whole, as the percentage of
obese citizens rises. Players
today also have conveniences
that werent available to those
in previous years: modern nutrition like protein drinks, improved training tactics, and an
overall better understanding
of body chemistry. No matter
the cause of this development,
the possibility of a debilitating
future is always looming. Risks
such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and the inability
to lose weight may exceed the
fame and glory of an NFL career.
So while it is true that current NFL players BMI scores
are significantly higher than
they were 20 years ago, and
that the players are physically
much larger, the long answer is
more complex.

Steph... Back at itAgain With

the Broken Records
By Shayna Kobrinetz
Staff Writer
On Thursday, February 25,
Golden State Warriors star
Stephen Curry broke another
record: the most consecutive
games with at least one 3-point
shot, making it his 128th consecutive game with a 3-pointer.
He broke Kyle Korvers previous record of 127 consecutive
games.
When asked about the record after the game, Curry
wasnt aware that he had broken the record and said, Thats
a pretty outrageous number,
I think. Thats crazyevery
night youre hitting a three.
Whether youre shooting well
or not, youre still finding a
way to knock down at least
one. The longevity of that record is pretty remarkable.
In addition to a consecutive
game record, out of the last
204 games Curry has played,
hes made a 3-pointer in 203
of them, and in his 471 career
games, hes made a 3-pointer
in 437 of them.
With the best all-around

player in the nation, the Warriors are certainly having an

exciting and memorable season, currently holding a 54-5
record and hoping to beat the
95-96 Chicago Bulls 72-10 record at the end of the season.
Despite Currys talents, the
star didnt have the traditional big-name college experience like many of his Warriors
teammates such as Draymond
Green (Michigan State) and
Andre Iguodala (University of
Arizona) did.
Curry played for Davidson
College, a small liberal arts
school in North Carolina. Despite his somewhat humble beginnings, the 3- time NBA AllStar has benefited the Warriors
immensely. As a key component of the Splash Brothers,
a duo comprised of Curry and
Klay Thompson, hes contributed to Warriors long string of
high scoring games (100 point
and more). Without the help of
his record-breaking ways, the
Warriors certainly would not
be the championship team that
they are with him.

Fashion Week Recap

By Brooke Kaufman
Staff Writer
New York, London, Milan, and Paris. These are the
big four, the fashion capitals of the world. Each year,
in these cities, and many
more, the fashion industry
presents its yearly phenomenon of fashion week.
During these times, various designers, brands, or
houses display their latest
collections in runway shows
to buyers and the media.
Like clockwork, A-list movie
stars, musicians, and models flock to the front rows
of their favorite catwalk parades to see whats in and
out for the season.
This years fashion week
spectacular began in New
York. Designers presentations officially began on
February 3rd; however, the
big names of the industry,
like Vera Wang, Michael
Kors, Naeem Khan, and
Calvin Klein, essentially
saved the best for last by
holding their shows at the
end of New Yorks parade of
all clothing items.
After a seemingly endless
marathon of catwalk shows

and presentations, fashion

critics laid out what they
thought to be the top new
trends. From velvet, off-theshoulder, and extra-long
sleeves, to the comeback of
logos and a whole lot of fur,
NYFW didnt fail to deliver.
After NYFW, came London Fashion Week. With
a decidedly less big-name
approach, this British version of the fashion phenomenon has always been a tad

less flashy than that of New

Yorks. Designers such as
TOPSHOP UNIQUE, Mulberry, Alexander McQueen,
and Burberry held some of
the weeks more heavily anticipated shows.
Up next was Milan- the

third of the big four to

host its fashion week. Popular designers such as Prada, Gucci, Fendi, and Versace presented their eclectic
Spring 2016 collections
through the rehearsed walks
of runway giants such as
Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner,
and Jourdan Dunn.
A variety of inspirations
were used when designers were thinking up their
presentations, as evident in
the diversity between catwalk shows. A marker of
todays ever-present social
media obsession arrived in
the form of Snapchat takeovers at this years fashion
week presentations.
Multiple designers enlisted celebrities and models to promote their shows
through the use of the social
media ploy, which proved
largely successful for the
fashion brands because of
the apps enormous following.

Overall, even though
Fashion Week 2016 came
to a close, the presentations
thus far have succeeded in
both delighting and shocking fashion followers from
around the globe.

Dear Donna

A New Face for

Barbies

90 YEAR ANNIVERSARY Hi-Tide

This Months Theme: Social Stress

By Rebecca Ryan
Staff Writer

Barbie dolls have been the

standard toy for young girls
for decades. With a recent
spike in body positivity,
Barbie dolls have been criticized for their unhealthy expectations placed on girls at
such a young age, and likewise young boys; representing Ken as athletic and buff.

Studies have recently
shown that if Barbie were
a real person, she would be
extremely unhealthy, and so
disproportionate she would
be forced to walk on all
fours.
The Mattel Toy Corporation, also owners of Hot
Wheels, has apparently
heard the cries of inequality, as they came out with a
line of new dolls with diverse body types, and have
changed their slogan to,
Imagination comes in all
shapes and sizes. Thats why
the world of Barbie is evolving.
Senior vice president Evelyn Mazzocco said in a press
release, We are excited to
literally be changing the face
of the brand, these new dolls
represent a line that is more
reflective of the world girls
see around them, the variety in body type, skin tones
and style allows girls to find
a doll that speaks to them.
The line includes three
new body shapes ranging
in height and weight. The
dolls also now are available
in seven skin tones, 22 eye
colors and shapes, and 24
hairstyles.
The original stick-thin,
white, and blonde doll has
come a long way since its release in 1959, and it couldnt
have come sooner, as their
net worth has been falling
in the recent years.
However, the companys
shares jumped nearly 6 percent in after-hours trading
last Monday after the release
of the new line. While the
changes made and inspired
and finally inclusive, we can
only hope that the standard
of beauty will change sooner
rather than later.
This first step of reaching
all demographics is a great
start in helping young girls
understand that all body
types and skin colors are
beautiful, but our modern
society still has a long way
to go.

Morality Codes Cant Stop Women From

Dancing
By Zoe Mendel
Staff Writer
In the Middle Eastern
state, morality codes prevent
young women from painting their nails too brightly,
wearing too much makeup
or essentially anything that
could be seen as enticing to
men. This includes dancing.
Before the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Iran had
funded their arts under the
direction of the Shah, or
emperor of Iran.

They especially liked
dance classes like Ballet,
which includes Western
discipline that was appreciated. When the Shahs government was overthrown,
the Iranian National Ballet
Company was disbanded,
and Ballet was seen as sinful. The dancers of the company fled the country.
However, some dancers
refused to flee the country,
and despite the danger of
continuing to dance, they

did it anyway. The dancers hold classes secretly in

abandoned hospital basements, office blocks, or silently in teachers homes.
Most of the time, teachers
wont even play music, because it is too risky. Instead,
they count for their dancers. Its not only dance that
is banned in Iran, its also
music that makes your body
move or gives you any sort
of pleasure.
Sometimes, classes are
broken up by police officers,
many of whom didnt get a
big enough bribe from the
teachers. The government
only seems to care about
dancing if they dont receive
compensation; but if you
pay bribes, then dancing in
secret cannot be a sin.
For some students, taking
part in these classes could
mean expulsion from university. Some teachers even
become too open about
their classes, trying to advertise by handing out busi-

ness cards on the street.

The secret is closely
guarded from friends and
even family members, and
shoemakers have become
scarce and secret as well.
One shoemaker claims that
she cannot be arrested for
making shoes, for that isnt
dancing.
Recently, dancing has
become more public, and
some dancers have even
given shows-only for other
women, however, men cannot see the performance.
And just like the classes,
performance requires bribe
money.
Dancing remains a sinful
practice in Iran, and genuine
progress becomes increasingly difficult as the line
between right and wrong is
challenged and blurred with
bribe money. But for now,
the dance classes continue in secret, and ballerinas
continue to move against
and resist the rule that denies dancing and expression

Everything Saint
Patricks Day
By Jade Moujaes
Staff Writer
Saint Patricks Day is celebrated on March 17th
and was originally made a
Christian feast day in the
17th century.
Saint Patrick is the patron
saint of Ireland, but is ironically not of Irish decent and
was born in Great Britain.
He was taken to Ireland
as a slave, escaped his captors, arrived back at Great
Britain, and then chose to
return to Ireland to spread
Christianity and help the
people.
The reason shamrocks
are associated with Saint
Patricks Day is due to the
biblical story that tells how
Saint Patrick used the threeleafed clover to explain the
Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity is a Christian ideology
that there is three persons
in one God: the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The color green is traditionally worn due to its
usage during the 1798 rebellion against British rule
where the United Irishmen,
a republican organization,
wore green as a sign of Irish
nationalism. Many United
Irishmen supporters were
executed for wearing the
color green.
There is also a reason why
people drink so much besides the fun of partying.
Because Saint Patricks Day
is a feast day to honor Saint
Patricks death, Christians
are allowed to put aside
their Lenten restrictions on
food and alcohol consumption.
If you are unaware of what
Lent is, it is a Catholic practice of giving up something
for the forty days leading up
to Easter Sunday. This interruption of fasting made
drinking a permanent part
of the holiday.
Whether you are Irish or
not, there are plenty of fun
activities to do in order to
celebrate the great nation of
Ireland. There are popular
Saint Patricks Day parades,
children look for leprechauns, and food starts to
look like its straight out of a
Dr. Seuss book.
Websites like foodnetwork.com, popsugar.com,
and pinterest.com have
great food and craft ideas to
make the holiday fun, exciting, and festive.

Rates of HPV Decreasing in Women

In an interview with USA

The Human Papillomavirus

(HPV) is a sexually transmitted disease that can be contracted through skin
on skin contact. It results in genital warts,
which can mutate into
both anal and cervical
cancer. It can be passed
even when the carrier
has no symptoms or
signs, and can develop a long time after
initial infection, making it difficult to trace.
The Center for Disease

about 14 million people contract the virus

tried to make the vaccine mandatory, its request was met

with forceful opposition. Many
claimed that the vaccine wasnt
safe to be administered, and
also violates a parents right
to choose to vaccinate
their own child. Many
parents think its unnecessary to be vaccinated for HPV because
of its classification as
an STD, explaining
that it is not spread in
the classroom. Furthermore, most cases
of HPV resolve themselves with the help of
a few doctors appointments, pap smears,
and of course, having
protected intercourse.
It is possible to religiously opt out of the
vaccine, and no child
will be turned away
from an education
based on medical records.
Regardless, doctors urge
people to be vaccinated because while HPV is sexually
transmitted, it does have the
potential to become a much
more serious disease: cancer.
And unlike HPV, doctors do
not yet have a cure.

Hacking Phones

By Alexa Kideys
Staff Writer
Recently, it has been brought
to the medias attention that
United Kingdom officers may
now hack into any phone and
also browse Internet records
of any civilian. This practice
is now being considered as a
legal action under
a proposal brought
about by their government known as
the
Investigatory
Powers Bill.
It is no surprise
to civilians that the
United Kingdom
has been hacking into their cell
phones for years, but to actually make such legislation legal is leading to a huge uproar.
The United Kingdom defended that their reasoning for enacting such legislation is so as
to help investigate crimes and
primarily to prevent any terrorist activity. This bill forces
Internet providers to store data
within the past twelve months
so that it can be easily accessed
by the police.
Many argue that allowing

such legislation denies people

their rights but with the governments strong adherence
to protect people from terrorism, it has proceeded to keep
this proposed bill intact. According to CNN, The government aims to pass the bill into
a law by the end of the year.
Critics say many are trying to
push the legislation
through quickly to
avoid detailed scrutiny.

Many feel that
the United Kingdom government
may be going into
this without considering the public reaction or legal issues
that are expected to accompany the new bill.
Research done by the telegraph.co.uk shows that in the
first half of 2015, Apple provided information following a
UK request in 56 per cent of
cases relating to a device, Google gave out information in
75% of requests over the same
period, while Facebook met
78% of requests. This was done
primarily through payments
from the UK government.

A Year in Space

American astronaut Scott
Kelly has returned to Earth after spending 340 days on the
International Space Station.
His journey started March 27,
2015, when he and Russian
cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko launched from Kazakhstan. Around 10 AM local
time on March 2, 2016, Kelly
and Kornienko touched back
down in Kazakhstan.
As Kelly
was living in
zero-gravity, his identical
twin
Mark Kelly
(also an astronaut) remained on
Earth as a part of NASAs Twin
Study. Scott was the experimental group of the study,
while Mark was the control.
Before sending any humans to
colonize Mars, NASA is studying the effects that long-term
spaceflight causes to the body
and DNA. Being in space for
long periods of time is known
to cause brittle bones, weakened muscles, and a change
in the bodys balance system,
among other things.
After landing in Kazakhstan, Kelly was flown back to
Houston so researchers could

compare the brothers. Kelly

has already reported that he
is 2 inches taller than he was
at the start of the mission: the
lack of gravity causes the spine
to lengthen, although it will
shrink back to its normal size
once on Earth.
Its been a year of firsts for
Kelly and NASA. The 340
days endured by Kelly made
him the American astronaut
with the longest consecutive
amount of time in space.
NASA allowed those aboard
the ISS to try
the
romaine
lettuce
they
had grown for
the first time.
Finally, Kelly
donned a gorilla suit to become the first
astronaut to wear a gorilla suit
in space.
Kelly wins the most connected to the general public
award for astronauts.
His breathtaking photos of
sunrises, sunsets, the Northern Lights, galaxies, and the
continents earned him over
900 thousand followers on
both Twitter and Instagram.
This mission could change
space travel as we know it, but
Kelly may never reveal the secret behind how NASAs WiFi
could connect 249 miles above
the Earth.

Mummy Found in
German Yacht
By Lucy Barton
Staff Writer
The mummy-like body of a
man has been found last week.
When it was discovered, the
man was sitting slumped over
in a yacht adrift in the Pacific Ocean near the Philippine
Islands. The yacht was found
during the week of February
21 by Filipino fishermen off
the coast of the southeastern
province of Surigao del Sur.
The body was found in the
cabin of the boat near the radio. According to The Star,
Police Chief Inspector Dominador Plaza said, the grey
decomposing remains of the
man resembled a mummy,
adding mystery to his death.
But there were no signs of a
gun shot or a stabbing wound
on the body of the man, ruling
out this case as an incident of
crime. Initially, it looks to us
that he died of natural causes,
maybe a heart attack, said Plaza. And death appears to have
come suddenly because he was
still sitting by the table when
he passed away.
Plaza guesses that the man
had been dead for at least sev-

eral days before he was found,

and according to The Daily
Mail, an autopsy confirms that
the man died from a heart attack one week prior to the discovery. According to The Star,
there were documents on the
yacht that identified German
adventurer Manfred Fritz Bajorat as the owner of the boat,
and the autopsy confirmed
that the man was indeed Bajorat. The family of Bajorat is
reportedly on their way to help
confirm the identity of the
body. According to The Daily Mail, forensics determined
that a combination of tropical
heat, dry wind and salty sea air
can quickly preserve or mummify a corpse.
The cause of death is acute
myocardial infarction based
on the autopsy by (the) regional crime laboratory, national
police spokesman Chief Superintendent Wilben Mayor
said. Police say they have no
idea where Bajorat was coming
from or where he was headed
to on the yacht. Bajorat has
spent the last 20 years of his
life sailing around the world
with his wife, but lost her to
cancer several years ago.

Puerto Rico Legalizes Cannabis

On Sunday, February 27,
Puerto Rican governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla signed
an executive order allowing for

Following a very long and

For a long time, there has
been a dispute over this topic. However, no decisions had

New Concerns Arise

Over Guantanamo Bay
By Maia Pearl
Staff Writer
Towards the end of his first
term, President Obama promised he would shut down the
Guantanamo Bay Prison. The
prison is located inside of the
Guantanamo Bay Naval Base,
on the island of Cuba. The
Guantanamo Bay detention
camp,
commonly referred
to as GITMO,
was
established specifically to detain
extremely dangerous criminals, to interrogate them in
an optimal setting, and to persecute them for
war crimes.
Many prisoners have reported that abuse and torture methods are common
throughout the camps. In
2011, President Obama signed
the Defense Authorization Bill,
which placed restrictions on
the transfer of prisoners to the
mainland or other countries.
This hindered the close of the
facility immensely. Congress
also was having issues with
moving the prisoners back to
the US for trial, release, or relocation.

Obama decided it would be

best, that during the process of
shutting down GITMO, that
the facility does not accept
any new prisoners. Although
it would be ideal to keep them
out, as we are already struggling as where to relocate the
current prisoners to, it is starting to form a problem. Recently, multiple ISIS
leaders have been
captured. Since
President Obama
has taken office,
he has refused to
place any terrorists in GITMO,
and instead has
tried and cleared
them for release.
With these Islamic State
terrorists, US government is
turning them over to the Middle Eastern government for
them to take care of the criminals. Some are quite concerned
about this process, as they do
not believe the Middle Eastern
government will take proper
care of the detainees, and may
just release them. This could
perhaps evolve into a larger issue, as US government wishes
to prevent further attacks from
ISIS. Released ISIS leaders are
entered in a national security
list.

ELECTION (cont.)

Cruz occurred despite Trumps

strong endorsement from the
states former governor Sarah
Palin.
Marco Rubio was deemed
the loser of the night with a
lackluster performance across
the board. He did secure a win
over Cruz in Minnesota, however, despite only winning a
few urban districts.
John Kasich, who wasnt previously polling large numbers,
failed to win a state but finished a strong second in Vermont and virtually tied Rubio
for second in Massachusetts.
Ben Carson dropped out of
the race and later joined New
Jersey governor and former
GOP candidate Chris Christie
in endorsing Trump.
The Democratic side of the
presidential race garnered far
less attention on Super Tuesday. The results, however,
proved important to the Clinton and Sanders campaigns.
Clinton locked up a total of
seven states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts,
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) while Sanders followed behind with just four (Colorado,
Minnesota, Oklahoma, and
Vermont).
Many believe that the most
significant outcome for Clinton was her win by 0.2% in
Massachusetts. Many had expected Sanders leftist message

14

to reach more voters in one of

the most liberal states in the
country.
The circuit continued on Super Saturday, March 5th. Primaries or caucuses took place
in four states for the GOP
(Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
and Maine) and three for the
Democratic side (Kansas, Louisiana, and Nebraska).
While Trump stayed on top
with wins in Kentucky and
Louisiana, Cruz proved the
race to be shifting towards a
two-man competition after
successfully securing the two
other states. And while Cruz
overtook Trump in terms of
delegates won on Saturday, he
is still trailing Trump in the
overall delegates count.
Sanders out-edged Clinton
in the popular vote by winning
two out of three states, Kansas
and Nebraska. Clinton, having
only won Louisiana that night,
still walked away with more
delegates: 55 to Sanders 49.
On March 8th, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, and Mississippi
Republicans cast their votes
along with Michigan and Mississippi Democrats.
Trump was the clear winner, collecting three wins in
Hawaii, Michigan, and Mississippi. Cruz further secured
his place as eternal runner-up
with a win in Idaho.
On the Democratic side,
Clinton and Sanders each won

one of the two states up for
grabs. Clinton won Mississippi by a landslide, and Sanders
barely clinched a victory in
Michigan after a heated debate in Flint. Clinton, however,
once again proved her superiority in the race for delegates,
with 87 compared to Sanders
69.
What does it all mean?
In the GOP race, Trump
continues to lead but Cruz
could potentially beat him if
Rubio and/or Kasich were to
drop out. They are generally
expected to exit the race if they
do not win their home states of
Florida and Ohio, respectively.
Perhaps in a bid to make
himself more palatable for the
general election, Trump has
recently toned down the language and rhetoric of his campaign while still maintaining
the core views that have propelled him to success.
Clinton maintained her delegate dominance over Sanders
largely due to her support from
over 461 party superdelegates.
But these superdelegates could
change their candidate choice
at any time before the Democratic convention convenes.
The Republican National Convention (RNC) will
be held in Ohio first and the
Democratic National Convention (DNC) will then take
place in Philadelphia. Both are
scheduled for July.

Research for Ebola Cure

South Dakota Transgender Legislation Ends

By Jimmy Irwin
Staff Writer
Ebola is a rare and very fatal
disease. The outbreak in 2014
was one of the largest ever recorded, with a death rate of at
least 50% affecting many countries in Africa. There were few
cases recorded in the United
States, although the probability of a large outbreak was very
slim to begin with. Ebola is
spread through direct contact
of body fluids if the victim is
already showing symptoms. It
cannot be spread through air,
water or mosquitoes.
There have been eleven cases of Ebola in the U.S. Nine of
those eleven victims contracted the virus in other parts of
the world, then flew into the
U.S. Thomas Duncan had contracted the Ebola virus while

Legislation was passed by a
20-15 vote in the South Dakota Senate the week of February
14th that states that students
of South Dakota who don't
identify as their biological
gender may not use facilities
designated for students of the
opposite sex when those students might be present. This
legislation will have a major
effect on many transgender
students throughout the state.
While many other seniors in
South Dakota may be preoccupied with college acceptances and graduation, Thomas
Lewis isnt. Instead, according
to CNN, Lewis is speaking out
against a bill that could affect
him and other transgender
students and has appealed to
both the state legislature and
Gov. Dennis Daugaard.
Lewis is just one of the many
transgender students in South
Dakota that have been affected
by the recent legislation. Lewis was born female but now
openly identifies as male and
is supported by his friends and
family. According to CNN,
Lewis aims to persuade Daugaard to refuse to sign a bill
into law that would restrict

a high fever, headaches, muscle aches, sore throat, stomach

pain, and a loss of appetite.
Doctors are hoping to find
a cure so no one ever has to
undergo this experience. Specifically, the researchers at the
Scripps Institute of Research
in La Jolla are helping tremendously. They are studying the
replication of the virus and
how it attaches to parts of the
body.
Dr. Erica Saphire is working in one of the 25 labs across
the globe researching Ebola.
Searching for a cure was always going to be difficult but
now it will be especially tough
due to the mutations in the virus. The most recent strain of
Ebola has over 55 genetic mutations, making it incredibly
hard to find a cure.
The work of these scientists is really starting to pay
off. They have recently developed a new medicine called
Z-Mapp. So far, it has been
tried by two Americans with
Ebola. The drug has also been
tested on mice and primates.
The antibodies in Z-Mapp are
made using tobacco leaves that
are then put into a giant juicer.
Scientists then strain the antibodies from the juice.

State law establishes uniform rules for bathroom and facility use
the use of school restrooms
and locker rooms to students
of the same biological sex.
Meaning that transgender students would be forced to use
the restroom of the sex they
were born with and not the sex
which they identify with now.
The legislation proposes that
in the case of transgender students, there will be a reasonable accommodation provided for them, which is defined in
the bill as "a single-occupancy
restroom, a unisex restroom,
or the controlled use of a restroom, locker room, or shower room that is designated for
use by faculty. The proposal
also states that schools will not

be the subject of undue hardship, possibly meaning that

schools will not be faced with
the task of constructing, and
paying for, separate restrooms.
Private schools are merely exempt from the legislation.
According to NPR, just
hours before the deadline on
Tuesday, March 1 was set to
pass, Gov. Dennis Daugaard
sided with the bills opponents
and vetoed it.
I heard their personal stories, Daugaard said. And so I
saw things through their eyes
in that sense.
She said she will leave transgender policy up to local
schools and districts.

Deadpool is Foxs black

sheep superhero movie starring Ryan Reynolds which
opened February 12 and has
since broken 11 box office records. Deadpool is within the
X-Men and Fantastic Four universe, which 20th Century
Fox purchased the rights
to from Marvel back when
they were strapped for cash
and auctioning off some of
their superhero franchises.
Deadpool had a brief and
controversial appearance
in 2009s X-Men Origins:
Wolverine in which the character was practically unrecognizable, leading fans and actor
Ryan Reynolds to petition for
Fox to give Deadpool his own
movie and do it right.
Eventually, they decided to
make the highly requested
Deadpool movie, and the fans
put their money where their
mouths were opening during
weekend.

Deadpool Breaks the Records...

and the 4th Wall
By Austin Iverson
Staff Writer

11.

Superheroes have taken over

popular culture ever since
Marvels Iron Man in 2008
and the Christopher Nolan directed Dark Knight trilogy.
Deadpool is the first of the
superhero movie fever to be
given an R rating.
After speculation was made
that Fox would aim for a PG-

R rating he deserved.
Hes known for his sarcastic
and dark humor, brutally violent vigilante activity, and
tendency to break the fourth
wall, or be self aware as a movie character and speak directly
to the audience.
In its opening weekend,
Deadpool raked in $132.7 million, taking The Matrix:
Reloadeds spot as the biggest opening weekend for
an R-rated movie ever. It
was also the biggest opening weekend for 20th Century Fox, Ryan Reynolds,
and the X-Men Franchise.
Deadpool also broke the
record for the most successful weekend for a directorial
debut, as it was director Tim
Millers first feature length film
credited as a director, amongst
many other records.
The film was such a success
for Fox, theyve already confirmed that a sequel is in the
works. Deadpool is still in
theatres, but viewer discretion,
its a hard R.

Deadpool is more of
an anti-hero, mercenary type with no filter on his mouth...
13 rating and in effect a larger audience, producer Simon
Kinberg stated during the
summer that Deadpool is a
hard R and they wouldnt be
pulling any punches.
As a superhero, Deadpool is
more of an anti-hero, mercenary type with no filter on his
mouth and an extremely violent fighting style, so fans were
excited to see hed be given the

In Remembrance of Harper Lee

By Asha Alagiri
Staff Writer
Harper Lee, author of the
classic To Kill a Mockingbird,
has passed away at the age of
89 earlier this year, on February 19, 2016 in Monroeville,
Alabama.
Lee was born in Monroeville
on, April 28, 1926. In 1959
her bestselling book, To Kill a
Mockingbird, was finished and
released. The book earned the

prestigious Pulitzer prize and

its place forever in history.
Since then the book has sold
more than 30 million copies
and has been translated into
40 different languages, and has
even been made into a motion
picture.
Last summer, more than 50
years after her release of her
first bestseller novel was released, Lee published her second novel. Go Set a Watchman,
which was actually wirtten before To Kill a Mockingbird, was
published on July 14, 2015.
Go Set a Watchman has sold
more than 1.1 million copies
in the US and Canada becoming HarperCollins fastest selling book in history.
The title comes from Isaiah
21:6, For thus hath the Lord
said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he
seeth. The title alludes to the
main characters, Jean Louise
Finch, view of her father, Atticus Finch.
Harper Lee will always be remembered as one of the greatest authors of our times.
