“You better watch out,You better not cry,You better not pout,I’m telling you why,The Easter Bunny (?) is

esteemed of holidays. Forsome, it is a time of deepreligious feelings. Forothers, it is a time to relinquish themselves from twoweeks of starvation. In anyevent, it is a holiday thathas been with us for a longtime. This then poses thefollowing question : Where

did you get this holiday ofbunnies and Easter eggsfrom?

The exact origin of theword “Easter” is unknown.Some scholars believe that.it comes from the oldEnglish word “Eastre.”Eastre was the name of thepagen goddess of springand dawn. According tolegends, when the sun godBaldur was killed by an arrow, he was condemned tospend halfof each year inthe lower regions. To do so,lie had to pass through thegates of Valhalla, of whichEastre was the keeper. TheRomans and Nordic people

At last Spring Break ishere ! Nine days of vacationaway from school.Although there has been alot of controversy with theriots at Palm Springs lastyear, many students will beheading back to the desertto enjoy the sun and thefun.

Palm Springs is preparing for Spring Break ‘87 bytrying to avoid the van-dalism and “partying” thataccompanied last years’vacation. They are havingmore surveillance of thearea and requiring identification for entering intothe bars. They have hiredmore police and said theywill arrest anyone who getsout of line or causes a riot.Many of the residents ofPalm Springs will bedreading the next week.

Here are some studentresponses on how they willspend Spring Break ‘87:

had a festival in April, inher honor. And, as part ofthe tradition, huge fireswere struck upon the topsof hills, dotting the land-scape.

The first association ofthe word “Easter” with theholiday, was made by theSaxons, in commemorationof Christ’s rising from thedead. As the story goes,after Jesus’ crucifixion, hewas placed inside a stonetomb. A huge bouldercovered the tomb’s en-trance. Two days later, onEaster, two women werepassing by the tomb earlyin the morning and noticedthat the boulder blockingthe tomb had been moved.Upon going inside, theyfound that the body ofJesus was no longer there.Some believe that Jesusreturned from the dead andrescued the people frometernal death and punish-ment of their sins. Easterbecame the most famous ofChristian holidays.

Along with the religioussignificiance, there aremany other practicesassociated with Easter.Perhaps, the most famousis the Easter Hare, or bet-ter known as “The Easter

Scott Caesar, “Going toU2 and Santa Barbara tosee my old girlfriends andlearn how to ride a horse.”

Dawn McCulloch, “Helpmy grandmother move andprobably veg.”

Bunny.”The bunny became first

associated with Easter as asymbol of fertility. It wasalso, according to legend, adevoted friend of Eastre.

The Easter Bunny’s dutyis to lay the famous Eastereggs.

In England, he lays themin a garden, thus causing awild romp to see who cancollect the most.

In Hungary, he forms anest in a stable and there,in the morning, childrencan find an assortment ofeggs.

In other countries, heleaves them in baskets orgives them to good littleboys and girls presents.

Another custom is color-ing eggs. No lines here.

Krissy Talbergs, “Goingskiing to Mammoth withMeredith Cody.”

Jennifer Ellis, “Relaxand go to the beach.”

With today’s technology,you can “shake-an-egg,”soak an egg, and ink an eggin many colors. But duringthe Middle ages, the begin-ning of coloring eggs, onecould only dip an egg withwax designs into a can of

paint.The origin of egg coloring

began in England, duringthe monarchy of Edward I.As a present to hishousehold members, Ed-ward ordered 450 eggswhich were to be coloredand covered with gold. Insome religious homes, thedyed eggs represent Jesus’blood upon the cross.

where the purpose is to sup-port students who aren’tdoing well in school. Thereare two kinds of outreach:on-campus and off-campusoutreach.

On-campus outreach isobviously facilitated oncampus. The advisors ofthis program are RichardKerstens, Donna Blumer,and John Ratajkowski. On-campus outreach is duringperiods two, three, andfive. Students must reportto an assigned room and remain there during the

Off-campus outreach is a“total independent studyprogram,” says Julie Rich-Sayer, assistant principalat San Dieguito. The student stays enrolled at SanDieguito, but picks up hiswork at Sunset HighSchool. The student mustattend school at Sunset forat least one hour per weekand study at home for threeto four hours per day underparent supervision. Thestudent must have at leasttwo classes at all times andwill not receive credit untilcompletion. There are no

San Dieguito, went onOutreach this semester.

“I love it,” she said, “thefirst week I was in it I didsecond semester historyand got an ‘A.’ I hope tohave all my credits up todate and be back at SanDiegmto by the end of mysenior year. This is kind ofa last-chance thing.”

Kath Kelly, a junior atSan Dieguito, also is on off-campus out-reach thissemester.

“I like it,” she says, “butit takes a lot of self-discipline. I had the ideathat I could do it easily, butthen you find yourselfdistracted and it’s hard tokeep going because there’snobody there. I miss myfriends, too. I’m going tofinish this semester, thenback to San Dieguito formy senior year.”

Take a few minutes tostop by the Counseling Of-fice and take a look at abook called “FinancialAids For Higher Education.” This is a greatresource for finding ascholarship.

For example, if you are amember of the Boy Scouts,California ScholarshipFederation, 4-or the YMCA, you could be eligiblefor a scholarship.

The program has severalnegative aspects. The pro-gram usually offers the“minimum competency,”and a “student cannotgraduate on Optreach,”comments Rich-Sayer.

Two semesters is themaximum amount of timea student is allowed, andthe student must receivesome credit to return toregular classes. Off-campus Outreach studentsare not allowed on the SanDieguito campus duringschool hours (includinglunch) for any reason.Also, a student “can’t justgo on Outreach,” saysRich-Sayer. Previous pro-blems with a student mustwarrant a recommendation by either Rich-Sayeror SD Vice Principal KenJames.

TheEscapeRoute

By Dan LmdstromIt is now (or will be im

mediately) Spring Break.This is a good thing. We allhear of those stories aboutgiant parties in places suchas Ft. Lauderdale or PalmSprings, full of wildteenagers. You know, thestories that give parentsnightmares.

Well, it’s spring, the timeof hormones and hayfever.For students, it’s time toforget completely aboutschool and taste the sum-mer that is so tantalizinglyclose.

For the teachers, it’stime to relax and breathe asigh of relief. After all,these last couple of weeks,we students have resembled a pack of ravenousanimals rather than civilized human beings. In fact, Iwouldn’t be surprised ifteachers look forward tothis break more than westudents do.

Now, all you studentsshould do somethingphysically exhausting thisweek. Run a marathon,surf for seventy-two hoursstraight, or climb a mountam. This will dram you ofyour nervous energy andwill get your mind off ofschool.

It will also maketeachers happy to see youmellow again after the lastcouple of weeks.

I’d suggest other thingsthat you could do (like havePalm Sprmgesque parties)but there are responsibleadults that read thisnewspaper, and there’s noway that I want to get introuble. So I’ll just say thatwhatever you do, pour allof your energy into it — itwill make your teachershappy.

“The Mission” is one of

those low-profile filmswhich most peoples’ eyes

tend to skip over when they

scan the newspaper forsomething worth seeing on

a Saturday night. Although

it is by far not a top-

grossing, brain-number,fad film such as “TopGun,” “The Mission” is asignificantly more impor

tant film which should notbe passed up by anyone.

Perhaps the reason for“The Mission’s” lack of

success lies in its subjectmatter. Set in a 1750s SouthAmerican jungle, the castincludes Robert DeNiro

( “Taxi Driver,” “AngelHeart”), the less popular(but equally as talented)

Jeremy Irons, and severalhundred native Indians.DeNiro plays the ruthlesssinner turned liberal monk,while Irons is the humanistpriest who leads the mis-

sionary group.It is the goal of this

Roman Catholic religious

group to “spread the faith”

to all those less fortunateindividuals who have notyet embraced Christ. Themissionary group eventual-ly succeeds at building theideal society — free ofspirit, laziness, and evil,

where only peace and lovedominate. And as the.viewer watches this, hecannot help but feel con-tent.

In all films, however,

there is a conflict, and

Yet today rock & roll per-formers are predominentlywhite and the contributionsof blacks to early rock &roll are not fully appredated. As MCA of theBeastie Boys put it, “Rockand Roll was started byChuck Berry, but it’s Elviscwho’s called the King. Soit’s not too surprising thatit took the Beastie Boys topopularize rap. That’stypical of America.”

Rap music, innovated by,among others, Run DMC,in the central cities, wasadopted by three rich white

viewer“The Mission” is no exception. When the SpanishChurch, which funds themission, decides to endtheir project here andabolish the mission, thenatives become confusedand question, “why Godhas changed his mind.”

It is at this point that thequestion arises of whetheror not the struggle to keepthe mission will be throughpeaceful or violent means.Says the gentle, peace-loving Irons to an angry,outraged DeNiro, “If youdie with blood on yourhands, you will destroy allwe have accomplished.”

Nominated for sevenAcademy Awards, in-cluding Best Picture, “TheMission” was called the“least deserving” of itsnomination. There is,however, more fallacy inthis statement than couldever be imagined. “TheMission” is one of the bestfilms of 1986, ranking at thetop of the list with “Platoon,” “Blue Velvet,” and“Hannah and Her Sisters.”

Roland Joffe, whodirected the outstanding“The Killing Fields” hasonce again made a filmthat should not be passedup by anyone. The supurbacting, incredible musicalscore by Ennio Morricone,and outstanding directionmake up a film which iswell worth driving toOceanside or downtownSan Diego to see.

Gymnast� come -f;lose

Brandy Thompson impresses crowd

By John Irwin

The 1986-87 Girls Gymnastics Team vaulted their way to a close loss against the Carlsbad Lancers.

The Mustangs lost by eight-tenths of a poin� in team varsity competition.

High school gymnastics meets are divided into three levels. JV is the iowest level followed by Varsity Compulsory and Varsity Optional. Compulsory means that all the girls must perform a set and constant routine with . varying skills .. Optional is a level where the gymnast must combine certain skills of difficulty into an artistic and demanding performance.

This year, Sophomore Meg Kindle is the JV cap-

tain, senior Stacey Budetti is the captain of Varsity Compulsory followed by the captain of Varsity Option al, junior Brandy Thompson.

"The girls did a good job except we had a shortage of girls because a few of the girls didn't fulfill a prior commitment of earning money for their sweats so they didn't have the chance to compete," said coach Barbra Medley.

The JV team had several awards. Kindle placed second overall and earned a first place on the floor exercise, two second places on the balance beam and vault and placed third on the uneven bars. Jill Blinkly, Becca Nolan, who placed

third all -around, and Stacey Angstead also placed.

The Varsity Compulsory team didn't do quite as well. Roo_in Roessler placed second on the uneven bars and Tami Thompson placed second on the balance beam.

As a contrast to the Varsity Compulsary, the Varsity Optional did an outstanding job. Brandy Thompson, the only SDHS Optional competitor, placed first all-around and placed first in all four of her events.

"The girls will have a much better performance on· Thursday," said Coach Medley.

BM!!stang tennis ready t9 playclaimed, "When doubles win, the team wins." The Mustangs did exactly that against Mt. Carmel winning five of eight double sets, including two by number two team Rudd McGarrity and Andy Lee.

Chang swept his four sets against what many consider to be the best team in the county and state.

CAPS:

By Bob Schultz

After all the comments inresponse to the deliberateflunking of the CAP tests,the Seniors look pretty bad.They will not tolerate Un-necessary suppression andare, therefore, viewed asrebellious, immature, andnot worthy of being con-sidered as “One ofAmerica’s Finest.” Ibelieve otherwise.

The most strongly voicedcomplaint is that theSeniors wasted thousandsof dollars by objecting tothe Attendance policythrough • the CAP tests.Money is important, butnot as important as people.People who think and have

opinions of their own aremore important thanmoney. The students makeup a school, not the amountof money it has.

Many people also corn-plain that the Seniors’ actions were not effective andwere a simple juvenilereaction. This is not true.Undoubtedly, in the future,the Administration willreconsider their timing inreorganizing and implementing diciplinary in-stitutions. In reconsideration of timing, the Ad-ministration will alsoreview their approach inimplementing procedures.Students will not be treatedas prisoners who must obeyall rules, regardless of

their validity. Students areequals who will objectwhen treated as inferiors.

Finally, we mustremember the main objective of high school: we arehere to develop as people.By flunking the CAP tests,the Seniors did not showtheir abilities in math andEnglish, instead theydemonstrated their pro-gression as people. Theyhave enough guts to standup and object to punitaryinstitutions which limittheir freedom and do notbenefit them, or in thiscase, their educations.Strength of character issomething to be proud of.

Let’s not forget that.

By Jim Yardley

Two words sum up theresult of the small group ofseniors who flunked theCalifornia Assessment Pro-gram (CAPS) test in orderto change the attendancepolicy.

It failed.As a side effect, San

Dieguito’s CAPS scoresplummeted. These scoreswere some of the lowest inrecent years. Mustangpride was dealt a severeblow because of this mci-dent. Meanwhile, the attendance policy still remainsin effect. Although thepolicy received flak fromstudents, it got strong sup-port from teachers. Today,students seem to accept thepolicy as a fact of life, somewith resignation.

It wouldn’t be fair topoint a finger at all theseniors, but one cannot

blame the administrationfor the low scores, either.The policy was designedfor better efficiency inhelping cope with themassive amounts of paper-work formerly done by theattendance office. Someeven say it has even helpedthe students by doing awaywith the hassle of notes if aparent calls in on the day ofthe absence.

What the seniors did waschildish and ineffective. Itgave the school bad publicity and a stigma that can on-ly be removed when thejunior class takes the examnext year. Why did theseniors make a big fussover the policy? They aregoing to leave San Dieguitoanyway when theygraduate.

Whether they like it ornot, the attendance policyis here to stay, CAPSfailure or not.

Dear Editor,I find that Andy Roach’s

letter in your last issue of“The Mustang” was unfairand for that matter, incorrect!

For one, the ASB deniedthe Senior’s request formoney because they did notplan ahead for the SlideShow in October, which Imay

add, every otherSenior Class has managed

. to do. Secondly, there is aclause in the ASB Constitution that specifically statesthat the Executive Councilha three weeks to vote onany proposal broughtbefore the Council. The

Seniors did not allow for

these three weeks and thenbecame irate when they

were not allowed to gobefore The Student Con-gress. This letter is not in-tended to “Slam” SeanaSmith (who is in charge of

the slide show) or theSenior Class.This letter is intended to

clear Rich Oesterheld’sandMr. Kelso’s name, and

to clarify any and all: misconceptions. Rich

Oesterheld is a fine officerand is an outstanding con-tributor to San DieguitoHigh School.

Rich did not deserve theremarks that Mr. Roach

felt compelled to write. Forthese reasons I felt it wasappropriate to writç thisletter and I hope it is

printed! The ASB Councilis a body of governmentestablished for and electedby the students of SanDieguito.

If Mr. Roach truly feltthat the ASB was doingsuch a poor job, I wonderwhy he didn’t run for an of-fice.

Kristen ScanlanCommissioner of Arts

Dear Editor,I would like to complain

about the dirt of thebathrooms and thecafeteria. When I use thebathroom, I feel bad to seetoilet paper and hair on thefloor.

‘I’d like to suggest thisschool to clean thebathrooms and classroomsthat students use bythemselves. The first timeI came to this school, and Iknew the students don’tclean the rooms, I was verysurprised becauseJapanese students mustclean their classrooms,bathrooms, gyms, andeven outside.

I think this is our duty.Also, if students clean ourrooms, we can’t makethem dirty and we can paymore attention.

I’m from Japan, so I’dlike to compare theAmerican system and theJapanese. Japanese highschool students have theirown classrooms called

to the“Homeroom.” When I wasin Japan, I belonged to“Homeroom C.” Myclassmates and I hadmeetings in the morningand afternoon. We had aHomeroom teacher in ourclass “C.” There were also“A” and “B” for eachgrade such as Junior andSenior. We had most of ourclasses in our Homeroom.

In springtime and fall wewould go on picnics withour classmates. It’s reallyfun. I’d like to go on a plc-nic in the U.S. too. It’swonderful to go somewherewith students and teachers.

Masumi Katani

Dear Editor,I want a bilingual

counselor becausesometimes we, the Spanishspeakers, need someonewho can understand ourproblems. When I talk withsomeone who speaksEnglish, I can’t understandbecause the person talksvery fast and the reasonthat I can’t understand isbecause my language is notEnglish.

I think a bilingualcounselor at San DieguitoHigh School will very goodfor the Mexican kidsbecause some of them don’tunderstand almostanything in English andthey need someone who canhelp them.

Alfonso

Dear Editor,I’m very disappointed

with the Azteca Clubbecause the Mexicanstudents never go to themeetings and when thereare meetings, the studentsnever help.

I would like to see theclub more together, moreactive, and have more con-tinuous meetings.

Carmelo Maba

Dear Editor,I would like a bilingual

Counselor who could speakSpanish because I couldtalk with her and she wouldunderstand me better. Itwould be a good thing forall Spanish speakingstudents. We could talkwith her about our futureand about other things. Shecould help us better.

Maria Gijon

Dear Editor,Just want to congratulate

you guys on a stupendousjob on the March issue ofthe Mustang. It was verywell done and I was pretty

much into it from cover tocover. Full of variety, too.That’s good!

I want to thank JenSchmidt for writing thatimpressive article aboutTeenage Pregnancy on theback cover. I’m so glad so-meone in this school hasthe courage to talk abouthow San Marcos’ pregnancy rate is so high. Let’s justsay that San Dieguito hasbeen lucky . . . so far. Itreally ticks me off how peopie at this school take sexso lightly, like it’s no bigdeal. I go to parties andstuff and see people who Ijust met two minutesbefore, goin’ upstairs get-tin’ funky, and chances arethey’re drunk and have noprotection-what lame-o’s.Like Jen said, BOTH menAND women need to beresponsible.
