Save your money; 3D movies are a scam

3D movies: They have really taken off in the last couple of years. Quite a few movies are now offered in both 2D and 3D. People are naturally drawn to 3D, that pop-out effect. But are the 3D movies being produced everything it is said to be? Have you ever noticed how pricy 3D movies are? I sure have,... Read more »
Avoid misunderstandings by learning more about Mormons
November 8, 2012 • Joanna Olsen, Staff Writer
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
One of my favorite lines to say to my friends whenever they complain about being single or some other drama is “You think you’re misunderstood? Try being Mormon!” They laugh it off, make jokes about it, and pretty much ignore the basic meaning of it. Sometimes I wonder if they truly understand... Read more »
New roster will lead the Lakers to victory this year

Filed under Opinion, Sports, Staff Columns
If I were the type to mark important dates on my calendar, Aug. 9, 2012, would be circled and starred. That’s because that was the day a four-team trade was made that sent center Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, a move that is going to help the team a tremendous amount. Not only did the Lakers... Read more »
Lunch law raises costs but leaves kids hungry
October 20, 2012 • Dakota Miller, Staff Writer
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
Lunch at school has always been a sort of routine for me. Grab some milk, grab an entrée, maybe a few sides and pay for it. While I may not have been making the healthiest choices in the world, I had the right to choose a bag of chips or some french fries now and then. However, with the new federal... Read more »

President Obama mistaken on Court comment
May 18, 2012 • Paqui Toscano, Editor-in-Chief
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
President Obama’s warnings to the Supreme Court about its review of Obamacare were completely unpresidential and immature. It was a disappointing display from a president who has not lived up to the expectations of many Democrats, including me, who had hope for the future in 2008. His comments in the... Read more »
Grandpa was much more than a relative, and I miss him

Many say that your high school years are among the best years of your life. And certainly these four years are filled with many exciting events and fun times. For many, that includes getting a driver’s license and gaining some independence. Others may relish memories of Friday night football games... Read more »
Partisanship supports hypocrisy, not the Constitution
April 5, 2012 • Paqui Toscano, Editor-in-Chief
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
There is no better time to view the sense of heightened partisanship (and immaturity) in our country than now, as the primary season continues at full throttle. Every Republican is out to not only bash President Obama, a Democrat and therefore a staunch enemy, but also their fellow Republicans in the... Read more »
War: It’s good for absolutely nothing … but inevitable

Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
In past decades, the fight for peace has become an enormous part of our culture. When people think of the 1960s, they undoubtedly think of peace signs and war protests. In the decades since, it has become ingrained into our daily lives. Everywhere I go, I see a girl wearing a peace sign T-shirt or peace... Read more »
Rude comments on illegal immigration are hypocritical
February 21, 2012 • Jilly Hall, Staff Writer
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
For the majority of Americans, illegal immigration is one of those topics, along with religion, that you never talk about in polite company. Everyone seems to have differing opinions on the subject, and most of them are quite overbearing. The two extremes are basically to kick every illegal immigrant... Read more »
