In my most recent article “The Trouble with Boomers,” I was bla-tantly on the side of the teenage generation, but upon receiving letters from boomers, I have realized that I need to clarify some points that I made in my article. The economic downturn has affected all Americans, every age group and every class. The plight of the young was only a partial glance at the total dilemma that this recession has caused. Jobs are scarce all around, and as I was further researching that fact, I learned that teenagers are out of work for an average of 19 weeks whereas baby boomers average around 53 weeks. That was a tad bit eye opening, but, of course, with experience comes rewards, and the very thing that makes Baby Boomers desirable also makes them unwanted by fledgling businesses. So I was wrong, everyone is struggling, and I should have focused on the total plight of all American citizens. However, the great points that both Ms. Wallander and Mr. Wood-worth bring up are the issues I need to clarify. The notion of “no such thing as a free lunch” is a very true statement; we should not just be handed a job on a platter. I am not asking for baby boomers to simply raise their arms and say, “I’m done; good luck.” Rather, I am saying that the kids who are passionate about their field of work will take the oppor-tunity with both hands and run with it. I ask not for resignation, only a chance to prove my generations worth. I personally believe every gener-ation has the feeling that the next generation is going to be the total downfall of all civilization, and I’m sure I will be saying the exact same thing about my kid’s generation, but I truly believe that my generation is very capable of rising to the challenge set before them. Ms. Wallander brings up the point that all people should work together to fix the econ-omy and bring about the return of prosperity in America. I whole heart-edly agree with that sentimentality. The baby boomers carried America on their backs for many years; now, it is time for my generation to help shoulder that burden and carry the nation alongside them.

A Deserved Reply

Letter to Editor: in response to ‘The Trouble with Boomers” As a Boomer who is still working, I take exception to Ross’s recent article in the LHS Revolution. According to Ross, Boomers who are still working are tak-ing jobs away from teens who need our jobs; while Boomers who are retired are taking money from his parents who are forced to contribute to our retirement pension funds or social security. As a Boomer who is still working, I am continuing to contribute to my retire-ment plan. I’m also creating disposable income which I spend to fuel the econo-my in retail sales, restaurants and recreation (industries which often employ teen-agers like Ross). I’m also saving income to provide care for myself if I should need specialized care as I age. These savings will spare my children (and, possi-bly, grandchildren) of providing funds to care for me in later years. Because of economic fluctuations, especially affecting the stock market and real estate, Boomers (along with all of us) have been negatively impacted, creating the ne-cessity for us to work longer than we had originally planned. My parents (survivors of the Great Depression and veterans of World War II) worked hard and sacrificed for my brother and me to obtain college educa-tions. My husband and I also worked hard and sacrificed to raise and educate our children (those in Ross’s parents’ generation). My children are currently working and sacrificing to raise and educate their children. I hope we can all appreciate the sacrifices and opportunities each generation provides for their children. We are not, as Ross suggests, competing among generations. Instead, we are interde-pendent among all generations to work, learn and provide for ourselves and oth-ers. Only together can we turn this economy around and bring about shared pros-perity.

Carol Wallander

Letter to the Editor: in response to ‘The Trouble with Boomers” I just wanted you to know that I’m a Baby Boomer, if you hadn’t already guessed. The article that was written about the Baby Boomer generation even though written with good intentions, I believe it was written a little out of igno-rance. It seems all you hear from today’s youth is give me, give me, give me. Where is the mention of work ethic in this article? Too many people today want instant gratification or jobs without putting in the time or effort it takes. Just because you have a college degree or education doesn’t award you a good or high paying job. The Baby Boomers’ parents and grandparents lived through the Great De-pression; they were unable to give much to their sons and daughters to build their futures. So my advice is, do what the Baby Boomers did: Work hard; go out and create new businesses, jobs, and opportunities, instead of asking those who have worked all their lives to stop working and just give you their jobs. It took most of the Baby Boomers all their lives to get where they are. Do you want them just to walk away from what they built and give it to you? My advice to any generation who just wants us to give it to them: Quit making excuses for the way things are; instead, go out and work hard; start from the ground floor and work your way to the top. Hard work is what built this country. None of the Baby Boomers were given their jobs from other hardworking individuals as hand me downs. My dad used to say to me “TINSTAAFL” and when I finally asked him what that meant, he replied, “There Is NO Such Thing AS A Free Lunch.”

“But you haven’t got a

hand,” Joel argued. Smoke

began flowing from the drag-

on’s nostrils and also curled

out of his mouth.

“We don’t have time for

games!” the dragon roared,

“you know what I meant. Take

the hand,” the dragon scolded.

Joel didn’t hesitate this time;

he immediately reached for the

paw. As Joel’s fingertips met

the dragon’s claws, there was a

tremendous flash and a boom-

ing swoosh. Joel fell to his

knees. Nearly deaf and con-

fused, he raised himself to his

feet, resting his hands on his

knees, to ask the mysterious

dragon what had happened. He

straightened and opened his

mouth, but the words stuck to

the back of his teeth when he

saw… nothing. The dragon

was gone! His surprise was

immediately replaced by rage.

That dragon just shows up and

raises all these questions, and

then doesn’t even provide me

with the answers! The total

emptiness and eternal silence

only fueled his rage. Then he

There was a commercial artist—an expert in design, photography, and illustration— in the 1920’s and 30’s who later became an inspira-tion for his four-year-old granddaugh-ter to be-come a com-mercial artist too. This little girl grew up to be the new-est addition to the Liberty Art Department, Ms. Rachlis. In the 1920’s, her grandfa-ther spent most of his time bent over a drafting table, doing his work by hand. Today, Ms. Rachlis teaches her students to use the latest technology, such as Photoshop for their designs and photos.

After teaching in three other school districts, Ms. Rachlis brings experience and many great ideas to the Liberty Art

Department. She said, “I enjoy the freedom here at Liberty to develop the photography and design depart-ment.” She said that she really likes how the students have an idea of where they are going in life, yet they are still willing to try new classes. She also loves the options available to

the students at Liberty, such as advanced studies. Ms. Rachlis is a fun and ex-citing teacher. Liberty has her grandfather to thank for this great addition to our staff this year. Sources: Interview with Ms. Rachlis Photo By Alec Donner

“What do you mean my

name is important?” Joel be-

gan. There was a long silence

after this question. Who was

he, that a mythical creature was

looking for him specifically?

He was just like everyone else,

just trying to survive and run-

ning from one hiding spot to

another. Well, apparently not.

There was something about

him that stood out, that separat-

ed him from others. But what

was it?! And why hadn’t the

blasted dragon answered his

question?! If he was so im-

portant, he thought he ought to

know what was going on. His

thoughts echoed in his head:

who was he? What was im-

portant about him? Why could-

n’t he know?

“Did you hear – ” Joel start-

ed, flustered.

“Yes, I did, but you will

learn that on your own…

eventually. For now, we must

move quickly; others I would

explain. Now, take my hand,”

the dragon said as he thrusted

out a heavy paw.

remembered Krissa and Mikey.

He spun around and rushed to

their side.

“Krissa? Mikey? Krissa

wake up. Wake up, Krissa!”

Joel yelled, and the echoes’

mimicry mocked him. He sat

on his heels, wishing he knew

more. A tear from the over-

whelming sadness for his

friends, and the uncontrollable

rage the dragon left him with,

slid slowly down his cheek.

They’re coming round now,

came a voice in his head. Joel

fell backward and bruised his

elbow.

“Who’s there?” Joel ques-

tioned the air. Then he saw

Krissa move and momentarily

forgot about the bodiless voice.

He rushed to her side, again.

“JJ,” she muttered, “What’s

going on? What happened? The

last thing I remember is seeing

a monstrous shape in the corner

there,” she pointed to the space

that the dragon had occupied

not too long ago, “and then…

and then I don’t know…” she

finished, bemused. Then an

excited squeaking from Mikey

stole Joel’s attention. Joel

reached his hand out to the

incandescent mammal, and it

jumped onto his palm and scur-

ried up to his right shoulder.

Joel pulled out a bag of dried

freat, a meaty treat with some

fruit mixed in, and fed it to

Mikey. He’s a cute little guy

isn’t he? The voice spoke

again. Joel controlled himself

this time but not enough that

Krissa didn’t see his discom-

fort.

“What’s up?” she asked,

concerned. Joel wasn’t entirely

sure how to explain what was

happening. He wished someone

could explain to him what was

going on. I’d be happy to

oblige, the voice began, this is

the dragon. What happened

is, when we touched, we

bonded into a single body.

Again, Joel acted as if he was

not hearing anything, but he

was listening. Krissa was still

waiting for an answer, and

watching Joel suspiciously. So

now, continued the dragon’s

voice, this body has the es-

sence of each of us. Anyway –

Joel cut the dragon off.

”What does that mean? ‘the

essence of each of us…’ what

does it mean?” Joel interrogat-

ed. It sounded strange, but he

did not yet know whether it

was ok or detrimental to his

health. He did not know wheth-

er to be excited or scared. It

means, my boy, that you can

do this. And before Krissa

could voice her concern about

him talking to the air, brilliant

silver wings thrust out of Joel’s

back, ripping his shirt. Stunned

silence followed as the wings

retracted. Joel decided to be

excited.

“What else – ” Joel was

quickly interrupted by the drag-

on. No time for questions! We

must leave for the city of

Pabyk. Time is running out.

We must leave now! To Be Continued…

News

By Gus Hunninghake

Since the founding of the

United States, our nation has

faced many problems with

illegal immigration, including

immigration bills and laws. In

2007 alone, there were twelve

million illegal immigrants liv-

ing in the U.S. However, in

the past couple of months, a

group of U.S. Senators, dubbed

as the “Gang of Eight,” have

proposed a new immigration

reform framework. Senators

Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), John

McCain (R-Ariz), Chuck

Schumer (D-N.Y.), Dick Dur-

bin (D-Ill.), Bob Menendez (D-

N.J.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.),

Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), and

Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)

compose the “Gang of Eight.”

This document includes citi-

zenship pathways for undocu-

mented immigrants, which is a

significant overall reconstruc-

tion of our nation's system of

immigration.

The “Gang of Eight” has

agreed on different principles,

with the first priority being to

“create a fair but tough path to

citizenship,” by having immi-

grants begin to pay taxes, for

example. This idea is foreshad-

owed by the concept of border

security enhancement and co-

ercing businesses and compa-

nies that employ undocument-

ed citizens. The new proposal

also addresses the need to re-

form the system of immigra-

tion that is currently used in

this country. As of right now,

foreign people attaining their

degrees and studying at univer-

sities are not permitted to abide

in the U.S. With this proposal,

all foreigners who obtain their

Master's or PhD in technology,

science, engineering, and math

will be allowed permanent

residency in the U.S.

Another strong point made

in this proposal calls for the

strengthening of verification

systems to employ workers,

assuring only legally immigrat-

ed people can acquire a job.

Lastly, this proposal would

allow companies to (legally)

hire workers with a visa, if and

only if no Americans are avail-

able to take the

job. Keep in mind

that the ideas pre-

sented are very minimalistic

and simple explanations of the

“bulk” of

this immigration

proposal being

presented by

the “Gang of

Eight.”

Regardless of the proposal's

pretty-set-in-stone ideas, some

questions are left unanswered.

Questions such as how long

will the citizenship paths take,

and how will the border

be accepted as secure?

Despite the origination

of this reform push be-

ing bipartisan, it is still

likely that this bill will

be hesitantly support-

ed by many House

Republicans. For

example, former

Senator Rick

Santorum (R-

Pa.) has told

Senator Rubio

“That's [“the

Gang of Eight”]

a dangerous

group you're

playing with.”

Despite this

warning, Repub-

lican Senator

Rubio has re-

mained support-

ive and influen-

tial in this

group of gov-

ernment offi-

cials. While many conserva-

tives think this proposal is just

granting amnesty, Senator Ru-

bio has said it is not, due to the

fact that immigrants have to go

through criminal background

checks, pay fines, and begin to

pay taxes.

Illegal immigration is a

problem that America and its

people have faced for many

years. In order to keep its status

as a world power, this nation

needs immigration reform that

puts us on the right path to im-

migration. With this proposal

by the “Gang of Eight,” our

nation might able to keep this

status. Sources: http://umwbullet.com/2013/02/06/bipartisan-

The month of February has been deemed African American History Month, commonly called Black History Month. It was first proposed in 1925 by Carter G. Woodson — an Afri-can American historian— as “Negro History Week.” Then in 1926, it was celebrated for the first time during the second week of February. Later on in 1976, the “Negro History Week” was expanded to the entire month of February, re-named, and recognized by the U.S government as African American History Month. Since the start of African American History Month, every president has created a theme for it, ranging from themes like African Americans and the Civil War to Black Women in Ameri-can Culture and History. This year’s theme is At the Cross-roads of Freedom and Equality:

The Emancipation Proclama-tion and the March on Wash-ington. February was chosen as Black History Month because the month contains the birth-days of Frederick Douglass (2/17) and Abe Lincoln (2/12). Other countries also have a month dedicated to black histo-ry, including the United King-dom and Canada. African American History Month is a celebration and recognition of the accomplishments of African Americans and the role they have played in American histo-ry.

Vice-Versa

Vice Versa: A Latin phrase that means “the other way around.” The LHS Revolution uses this phrase to identify two editorials written about a controversial topic from opposite perspectives; thus, readers will read one perspective and then a perspective on “the other way.” The LHS Revolution staff hopes to promote intelligent conversations about the topics we choose. It is also necessary to note that the

journalists don’t always 100% support the position they write about. These editorials explore a position (sometimes an extreme one) in order to broaden everyone’s perspective.

By Ross Johnson

There should not be a Black

History Month because it has

failed. Conceived with the idea

that it would reduce racism and

promote togetherness, it has

instead only succeeded in mak-

ing African American achieve-

ments seem even less a part of

US history.

During Black History Month,

schools change the curriculum to

focus on the differences African

Americans have made in history.

By taking it out of the normal

curriculum and instead dedicat-

ing a month to these moments,

the flow of history is disrupted

for these students. This inter-

rupts understanding the great

things these leaders did during

the time, and why that achieve-

ment is so astounding. It is pos-

sible students would begin to

think that the world’s history

and the history of African Amer-

icans are separate from each

other, and one did not impact the

other. For example, when study-

ing World War II, the Tuskegee

Airmen should

be included in

the unit ra-

ther than

glossed

over and

then studied

in depth during

February. This

would help the

students under-

standing the incredi-

ble triumph that these men ac-

complished in a time of limited

trust in African Americans.

If it is decided that every group

that has been wronged somewhere

in our nation’s history deserves a

month, the number of months

would need to increase to fit them

all in. We would need to apolo-

gize to the Japanese for putting

them in internment camps and

increase the attention paid to May

which focuses on Japanese Amer-

icans. We would need to change

the focus of Hispanic Heritage

Month and evaluate how we are

proposing just as many racially

based laws pointed towards them

as

we did with

African Americans. The Jim

Crow laws of the days after the

Civil War are very similar to the

laws Arizona is trying to pass to

control illegal immigration.

Thinking about the future, there

are plenty of groups that have a

reasonable case to ask for a month

dedicated to them. Pretty soon

every group will have their own

“history” month, and American

history will no longer be about

what brought the country together

but what keeps it apart.

Americans have recently begun

to celebrate the strength of having

differences. Rather than viewing

skin color as a weakness, it should

be viewed as a strength. America

has taken the best parts of all the

different cultures and blended

them into a wonderful concoction

envied the all around the world.

Why would our nation want to

take the very things that make

America what it is and separate

the different cultures? We are a

nation of immigrants; some came

here willingly while others did

not, but that does not change the

pride every single citizen can feel

when they can stand up and say, “I

am an American.”

How can it be said that we are

promoting togetherness and under-

standing when we sequester off a

month to focus on a group that we,

as Americans, have wronged. His-

tory should be taught as history

from a neutral perspective; this

would eliminate the need for Black

History Month. History is fact;

what happened cannot be changed.

All that we can do as students of

history is take it, learn from it, and

ensure it never happens again. http://www.chsa.org/

It’s tIme for equalIty

By CeAhnna Pelt

There should be a Black Histo-

ry Month because it is a time to

embrace the past in order to ad-

vance in the future. It’s a time for

reflection and a time to be taught.

This month dedicated to blacks

has always been a controversial

issue due to people deeming it

counterproductive because it’s

“exclusive rather than inclusive,”

but in reality, the month has been

belittled. Carter Woodson made

the month with the intentions of

it ending once African Americans

and others embraced the accom-

plishments blacks have made, but

unfortunately that hasn’t success-

fully happened yet.

It would be ideal to believe

that we could leave it to the

schools and parents to get the

word out about black history but

it hasn’t happened in all these

years. Without this designated

month, one would only hear

about common names such as

Martin Luther King, Malcolm

X, and Langston Hughes in

schools. Phillis Wheatley, a

slave who broke barriers to

become the first African Amer-

ican poet and the first African

American woman to publish a

book is rarely spoken about.

The inventor of the traffic light

and the gas mask Garrett

A. Morgan is also

ignored a lot of the

times.

African Ameri-

cans are a minority

so a lot of their

accomplishments go

unseen and unheard.

The month teaches

blacks as well as

other races to moti-

vate themselves to strive for bet-

ter. It teaches people to never be

afraid to go against the odds and

highlights achievements and rec-

ognizes substantial people in the

black community. African Amer-

icans get the chance to stimulate

their minds and become

inspired to achieve

greatness like

many of the

people who

are cele-

Embracing the Past in Order to Brighten the FutureEmbracing the Past in Order to Brighten the FutureEmbracing the Past in Order to Brighten the Future

brated during the month. A

successful image is needed.

In schools there is a cen-

sored version of slavery and

the civil rights movement.

Without Black History Month

the struggle that many African

Americans went

through in order

to be successful

goes

unacknowl-

edged. It gives the chance for

Americans to celebrate another

culture. African American his-

tory is American history but it

deserves to be emphasized. If

there isn’t a special time taken

out to remember history it is

bound to be forgotten.

Life

By Marisa Mandel

There is not one perfect definition for what “falling for some-

one” means. Most people say that it depends on how you feel

when you first see that person, or on the first conversation you

had with that person. Maybe for some people it’s the butterflies

suddenly filling your stomach just by the mere sight of the person.

In general, falling for someone means liking/loving all of his or

her qualities, both emotional and physical. Simply by liking a

person for who he or she is can lead to a build-up of stronger feel-

ings. The tricky part, is when the person you are falling for is your

best friend of the opposite sex.

Falling for your best guy/girl friend seems to be a more com-

mon thing. If this girl is your best friend, it means that you like

who she is, and enjoy being around her. Liking their qualities and

enjoying being around them can lead to falling for them as de-

fined above in what “falling for someone” can mean. Falling for

your best guy/girl friend isn’t always a bad thing. Most romantic

relationships are two people that are best friends, so there is noth-

ing wrong with starting out as just friends to begin with. Howev-

er, transitioning from just friends, to more than friends can be

difficult and should be highly considered before proceeding with

a new relationship title. Here is a list of Dos and Don’ts to help

those of you falling for your best friend.

Don’t

Let it all out/TMI

While dropping subtle hints that you are crushing

on your best girl friend is ok, don’t do or say any-

thing that will for sure let her know you like her,

until you think you are receiving some of the same

reactions and messages that you are letting off.

Don’t

Make it AWKWARD

This is probably the most important “don’t.” Don’t

in any way shape or form make the relationship

between you and your best guy friend that you are

crushing on, awkward. This goes back to letting

him know your true feelings all at once. By doing

that, you force him into a “deer in the headlights”

situation, where the news of your “more than

friends” feelings leaves him uncomfortable. This

could then lead to losing this guy just as a friend.

Dos and Don’ts

Of Liking Your Best Friend

Do

Drop SUBTLE hints

If you are truly interested in seeing what could

happen with her as more than friends, then don’t

be afraid to drop subtle hints that you are into her

as more than just a friend. She is not going to be

able to read your mind and figure out that you like

her without a little bit of help.

Do

Remember they are your best friend

At the end of the day, until all is known about true

feelings, remember that he has been your best

friend probably for a while. This is the guy that

knows all there is to know about you, and the

person you trust with your deepest darkest secrets.

Losing him is probably not worth the little crush.

By Liam Manning For centuries, there has been

a strict segregation of the sexes.

Each usually congregated with

his or her own gender. However,

in the recent decades that staple

of society has been dropped and

replaced with zero barriers be-

tween girls and boys. Nowa-

days, girls and boys are friends

or even best friends. From this

new amalgam of boys and girls,

a question has arisen, “Can boys

and girls just be friends?” From

my experiences, as limited as

that may be, I believe that girls

and guys cannot be friends with-

out some sort of relationship or

liking between the two develop-

ing.

The main problem is that

girls and guys were designed to

be attracted to each other. With-

out this there would be no hu-

man race. Studies have shown

that by the time boys and girls

turn seven, they leave their sin-

gle sex groups and start min-

gling with the opposite sex.

Now, people hang out with oth-

ers because they either have the

same interests or they enjoy the

person’s presence. Why would

you hang out with someone you

don’t like? By having a best girl

friend or boy friend, you have

found someone who could be a

possible match. People date be-

cause they have things in com-

mon, and they enjoy each other’s

company. Since the two are

friends or best friends, they have

both found something in each

other they enjoy. A deadly

weapon for destroying these

relationships is the thing we all

go through, puberty. Besides the

physical changes that make the

guys and girls more appealing,

teenage hormones are let loose.

These hormones take our inno-

cent little minds and tell us to

fulfill many different desires.

They also drive guys and girls

crazy for each other. The sex

appeal goes through the roof.

Having to deal with sexual de-

sires for someone can make you

forget all about friendship. When

it comes down to it, either one of

two things happens; one person

in the friendship begins to have

feelings for the other or both

start developing feelings to-

wards each other. In a study

where 88 pairs of opposite gen-

der undergraduate friends were

asked if they were attracted to

their partner, the results showed

that the men were more attracted

to their partner than the women

were. I have seen this many

times, and it’s not a 100 percent

chance, but for the most part it is

still likely to happen.

It’s a rare occurrence for the

friendships that do occur be-

tween boys and girls without

feelings. The reason these rela-

tionships are rare is because it’s

very impractical. Why would

you not go after a person who

shares interests with you and

possibly is appealing to the

eyes? Obviously they have a

personality you enjoy and that

person must enjoy yours. How-

ever, I will tell you the two situ-

ations that will allow boy and

girl friend relationships. Either

the one is homosexual or you

two have the same interests

but neither of you find the

other sexually appealing.

Three important things that a

relationship needs are emo-

tional, physical, and personali-

ty connections. If one of those

traits is missing, a boy and girl

friendship can work. In my

opinion, I feel that would be a

rare circumstance and will

mostly likely not happen.

Friendship is strong, but love

is even stronger.

Media outlets thrive off of ratings. Networks cancel televi-sion shows with low ratings or they fire disliked news anchors in suit of new ones who are more popular. Ratings come from many places, but one of the main factors is the content. In order to increase ratings, the media sensationalizes the news. Sensationalism is the “subject matter, language, or style producing or designed to produce startling or thrilling impressions.” This means the media covers stories that will provoke an emotional response from viewers. In order to achieve this, the media reports on topics such as sex, violence, scandal, or money, especially when related to celebrities. Instead of informing the public about social, political, and eco-nomic issues, they seek to en-tertain and, therefore, increase ratings and make money. At both the local and na-tional level, reporters are no longer reporting just the facts of a situation. They now exist to sway viewers’ and readers’

thoughts. The Casey Anthony Trial The media heavily reported in 2011 that Casey Anthony murdered her daugh-ter Caylee. While the facts of the story were scattered at the time, the story re-ceived huge amounts of media attention. The media’s reporting of the case caused people to believe that Casey Anthony was a liar and a murder-er and that she would almost defi-nitely be found guilty. People flocked to the courthouse to watch the trial firsthand. When the jury decided she was not guilty be-cause there was not enough evidence, people were outraged. Twitter and Face-book exploded with angry posts about the case. Casey Anthony is a victim of the media’s tactics. As she was leaving the courthouse, she needed security because of the outrage. To this day, she is not able to disclose her location because of threats of violence. While, sadly, murders happen often, not every case receives this much media

attention. The media sensationalized this case, swaying the public to believe she was guilty and provoking an angry re-sponse when the verdict was different. Locally Sensationalism does not just occur in stories that surround scandal or celebri-ties. Even small, local stories are taken out of context to advance a certain agen-

da. This past sum-mer, Jordan Blake-ley and a few of her friends, Ryan Walk-er, Mitch LaBree, and Summer White, were rock climbing at Garden of the Gods. They had all been taught proper ways to rock climb and all had the right equipment. As they

took a break to enjoy the scenery, some people reported that some teens were stuck on the rocks. One of the local news stations later reported this story and used it to talk about how senseless teenagers are. Jordan says, “We were never asked to be interviewed, and they only reported what they thought happened. They never went deeper to get the true facts.” Although there were errors in the re-

porting of this story, the media sensation-alized it. Whether or not this was their goal, people responded with distrust to-ward teenagers. The news station posted this story on Facebook and received many angry comments. If the media mis-reported this small story, what other facts do they misinterpret? Why This Matters In this era, the media is looking for a story at all times of the day. They need to report something online, on a ticker at the bottom of the TV screen, or via email. They look for stories that will pique the public’s interest. On many occasions, they will report only some parts of a story in an attempt to be the first to break the news or, again, to cause a response from the people. The public should be con-cerned about this because they often do not get the true story. People tend to be-lieve what they are told, and when we are subtlety told lies, our perception of the world around us changes. The media is not going to change their style of report-ing unless people push for it.

There has always been great skepticism about hot dogs and what’s inside them. Most of the rumors are that they are made of scraps from the floor, strange beaks and snouts, intestines, random fat, and etc. But are the rumors real? How do we really know what’s real and what’s fake? The debate seems never ending. To state what seems an obvious answer, no. Hot dogs do not contain con-taminated meat scraps or beaks and snouts. Hot dogs mostly con-tain pork, beef, chicken, turkey, or a combination of them. Other ingredients mostly consist of water and various spices. There can be some things to watch out for, which is probably where a lot of the rumors come from. “Variety meats,” which are things like kidneys and livers, can sometimes be snuck in there. Luckily, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made it a requirement that the package must read “with variety meats” or “with meat by-products.” Another thing to watch out for is mechanically separated meats or “MSM.” This is a batter-like substance that consists of edible meat. It’s a pink substance that is not very appealing. Although it is safe to eat, the FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) banned MSM to be in any pro-cessed meats because of fear of mad cow disease. Other than that, there really is no need to worry about strange ingredients when consuming hot dogs. Hot dogs are not the only processed foods that have a bad reputation. Products

like chicken nuggets and fish sticks are questionable as well. According to the National Chicken Council’s website,

the ingredients in chicken nuggets are not as wild as people think. Most chicken nug-gets do not contain mechanically separated chicken unless otherwise stated. Also, there is a rumor about “retired egg layers” (old egg whites) in the nuggets, which is also not true. The main ingredients in chicken nug-

gets are chicken, water, salt, spices, different types of wheat, and a variety of other recurring ingredi-

ents. As for fish sticks, there might be some dispute, but the sticks (or fingers, as called in Europe) are really

only fillets that are breaded on the outside. There didn’t seem to be any big contro-versy over them like there is

with hot dogs and chicken nuggets. Most companies seem to tell the truth about their food. Besides a few certain ingredients you should really look out for, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and fish sticks are pretty okay to eat. They may not be the healthiest options, depending on the amount consumed, but at least there is no beaks and snouts. So the next time you go to eat a juicy dog or a crispy chicken nug-get, don’t fear!

that are victims of horrid end-ings can salvage themselves with the rest of the motion pic-ture. Unfortunately, Side Effects is not a part of those rare ex-ceptions.

We all can recognize the faces of famous actors, but who can name the voice of his or her favorite cartoon character? In front of the camera, an actor or actress can make a character come to life with expression and movement, but voice actors only have the sound of their voices to work with. The talented peo-ple are not as well recognized as actors in movies, television shows, and even live perfor-mances, but they work just as hard. By starting out in musical theatre, Tara Strong was able to pursue a career in a field that showcases her talents. She was accepted into a school for the

arts, and that led her to her big break, guest starring in a show called TNT. Starring in produc-tions at her school and being noticed for her amazing gifts was what rocketed her into the world of voice acting. What does it take? To be able to practice the art of voice acting, one must be able to speak in a wide range of depth and be able portray diverse emotion though words, and being able to sing opens up even more opportunities. Versa-tility is not the only thing that you need to have to get into the business. Do not expect to just imitate your favorite cartoon character perfectly and have offers for roles. If you are inter-

ested in becoming a voice actor, take as many acting classes as you can, and start out by re-cording dialogue from different scenes or commercials with a personal take. Record a demo, get feedback, and try to find an agent. This can take time and money, so be patient and don’t get discouraged. Getting in-volved in voiceovers can take lots of time. During a recording session, there are three main ways that a production can be recorded. Voice actors can be recorded at different times and later be-come edited together in a long process by a sound engineer. Some companies record the

animation beforehand, and then the voice actors speak for their characters afterwards. There are other simpler ways to record, for example, having all of the actors speak the dialogue to-gether. However the production is recorded, the same high quali-ty is required. Voice actors are gifted, di-verse, and unique, and are just as talented as live action actors, but can be a part of multiple pro-ductions at a time. If you are interested in getting involved in the art or if you just enjoy watching cartoons, everyone can agree that the hardworking ac-tors and actresses have to work

hard whether they are narrating, singing, or becoming the voice of a character. Next time you see an animation, take the time to appreciate the voice actors of our generation who went through a long process to make the diverse productions possible.

Trailers for Steven Soder-bergh’s new film Side Effects prove to be purposefully mis-leading. This tactic of strategic misconception can often make the film’s plot twist more shock-ing. However, for Side Effects, this ploy did not prevail. The film immediately estab-lishes a strong characterization for Emily Taylor played by Rooney Mara. Emily is a deeply depressed individual who seems hopelessly in love with her crim-inal husband Martin played by Channing Tatum. Emily’s life derails before the viewers within the first thirty minutes of the film until she finally seeks psy-chiatric help. Enter Jude Law as Dr. Jonathan Banks. Dr. Banks is a charismatic, ambitious op-portunist until he begins treating Emily. From there, the whirl-

wind of conflict begins as Dr. Banks tries every pharmaceuti-cal drug under the sun to help Emily. All of which leads to an untimely death while Emily is under the influence of the final drug, Ablixa. This murder sets up the film’s theme: are we responsible for all our actions even if we are not consciously aware? Or is it possible to have committed the crime but not be guilty of it? The first hour of Side Effects is extremely well orchestrated.

The cinematography places au-diences perfectly in Emily Tay-lor’s point of view and in a

sense, in her depression

as well. The film is heavily driv-en by the intelligent dialogue and interactions between char-acters. Rooney Mara and Jude

Law give stellar performances as two people whose lives un-ravel at an accelerated velocity. If only all these highlights were strong enough to save the mov-

ie. Approximately an hour and fif-teen minutes into

the film, things take a turn for the worse. Plot twists are revealed in

somewhat of a climatic contrivance, but they are muddled and disarrayed. For a climax that has been built up in such an artistic and clever way, it falls short of anything ultimately satisfying. For some films, an ending can save the entire movie, but for others, it can shatter it. Sometimes, films

A Few Familiar Voices

Voice actress Tara Strong has spoken as characters in over 330 movies and television shows. If you’ve seen shows like The Powerpuff Girls, Rugrats, and Ben 10, you know that the voices, as well as the characters, are all unique. By being apart of a wide range of productions, Strong should be considered one of the most accomplished actresses on or off of the screen.

Mark Hamill has showcased his talents in over 240 titles. Everyone knows him as Star Wars character Luke Skywalker, but he has also broadened his gifts and has done work as animated characters’ voices and narration. He has been characters in Ad-venture Time and Phineas and Ferb, and has done other voiceover work, like narrating Call of Duty.

Nancy Cartwright is the voice of Bart Simp-son on the well known hit television series The Simpsons. She is also the voice of Rufus in Disney Channel’s Kim Possible, and the voice of over 100 other characters. Cartwright’s diverse acting makes it possible to be many unique characters without the viewers recognizing her voice.

Unless you were living under a rock for the past decade, it is assumed that you have been exposed to a variety of enter-taining videos on YouTube. The question is what exactly causes these videos to gain such fame? YouTube is a way to escape our tedious everyday routines and engage in other people’s lives. We enjoy being enter-tained by other’s absurd actions or experiences. A video will not become viral if it is dull and

uninteresting. If given the choice, most people would watch a walrus doing sit-ups rather than a person speaking about the significance of water. Reaction is the key when it comes to the making of a viral video. The video can be inform-ing, but the overall enjoyment is what matters most to the audi-ence as well as their ability to relate to what is occurring on screen. Jenna Marbles, a popular YouTube star, creates videos in

which she describes her opin-ions on various topics, per-forms strange and funny acts, imperson-ates famous people, and manages to maintain an

entertained audience at all times. Her success is not because of large cameras and a fancy pro-duction crew. She is simply able to engage her viewers and amuse them with her witty personality. That is why many of her videos are now very popular. Other YouTube stars, such as Shane Dawson and Smosh, have also been able to rise up on the charts. With highly entertaining videos that spark the audience’s interest, these stars are able to spread their videos throughout the world using the power of social networking websites. Fa-cebook, Twitter, and Tumblr are all fantastic websites to use in order to connect with everyday people around the world and communicate with viewers. These YouTube celebrities use the internet to their advantage in order to gain popularity online. Whether it is one video that goes viral or many, the channel sup-plying the video will be noticed.

Hopeful and anxious, the optimistic actor rips open the casting envelope. Those dreaded words stretch across the top: “We are not offering you a part at this time.” Re-ceiving a rejection for a theat-rical pro-duction can be a painful experience. Many people take these rejec-tions per-sonally, and this can be even more hurtful. The im-portant thing to remember is that there is nothing personal about these rejections. A lot of factors go into choosing a cast or choir. For example, Mr. Skelcey says that casting depends on whose physicality and energy would best project the type of charac-ter needed for that show. Cast-ing is not personal at all. In fact, Mr. Skelcey says that he has “never cast a show with how much [he] like[s] a student in mind.” Sometimes the opposite is true. “I’ve cast students I did-n’t get along with because they fit the part.” Sometimes a specific person is talented, but he or she does not fit the required character.

What this means is that a re-jection does not necessarily have anything to do with the lack of talent. Even the most

talented peo-ple must face rejections at one time or another. Rejections do not just pertain to the performing arts, however. The same issue occurs when apply-ing for jobs. Not getting hired for a job can be just as pain-ful. However, job interview-ees also have

to take much into account

before finally deciding who to hire. Once again, often most of the applicants are qualified and hard-working, but per-haps one of them has some unique quality that sets him or her one step above the others. Rejection is a part of life, so instead of lingering in de-pression at every rejection, take each rejection as a learn-ing experience. Use the cri-tique given as a way to im-prove and get the part or the job next time! Giving up is the lock on the door to dreams. Sources: Interview with Mr. Skelcey

two peas in a pod, and they have enough in common to be together and enough differences to make them independent. It works because they are different and can push each other a bit in the right direc-tion if needed and remain them-selves, and similar, so the roman-tic spark was there when they met and the feeling of love is ever-present. The book is not perfect for everyone, but what book is? The Fault in Our Stars is an ex-ceptional book with lovable char-acters; a tear jerking and authentic love story that will entertain any fan of the romantic genre.

By Cole Johnson Books regarding cancer pa-tients are tricky to create. They can be too hopeful, where every-thing is rainbows and butterflies by the end and rather unrealistic, or they can be too realistic and just make readers feel awful for not doing more with their lives. Here is an interesting idea for a cancer book. A love story, a very developed, modern and beautiful love story, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is such a story that has already captivated many read-ers. The premise of the story is that the main character, Hazel, is dealing with having stage four thyroid cancer and explores all the tragedies that come with it. Hazel has a very unique form of viewing her condition, constantly finding a comedic essence in it all, often stating how her lungs “…suck at being lungs…” She has few friends, she’s homeschooled, and spends a lot of her time in her house thinking death over in her head. Her mother, believing Hazel to be depressed, sends her to a cancer support group. After a few sessions with the group, Au-gustus Waters makes an appear-ance in her life.

The book does not try to be more than it is, a love story. However, it does have a predictable plot structure, the tragic moments actually seem to hit harder when they are seen coming. Though those story elements are wonderful, there is so much more to this book that makes it stand out among its genre. Every piece of dialogue, every thought that was written down, they were all incredibly close to the conversation and thoughts that are present in current life. Having cancer is a foreign experi-ence to most, but each character has a very even balance of fearing his or her condition and poking fun at it, and they’re hilarious when they do. The humor is true to their conditions, slightly dark, but presented spiritedly and that is what makes it brilliant. The actual love story between Hazel and Augustus is believable, entertaining, exciting and overall, it delivers more than the tale that the reader came for. Hazel can be curt, witty, and sarcastic, and Au-gustus is fun, comedic, and occa-sionally, very thoughtful. They are not polar opposites, they are not

YouTube” has recently been launched online. This series, created by an everyday individu-al, features a variety of different people who have achieved fame via the popular website. YouTube is not meant to be a professional TV channel; the stars presented on screen men-tion that all a person needs in order to gain viewers is a quality idea, creativity, time, and, of course, a camera. There is no great secret behind making a popular video, but rather, it is the simple essence of entertain-ment that sparks an audience’s

curiosity. Creating a viral video is not rocket science. People enjoy being entertained with unique topics. So, if you want to try and create a viral video, give it a shot. Just remember, all videos begin with a single view, but yours may just end up being something remarkable.
