Forget To Vote…It’s Your Right! By Amanda Rodriguez Are you 18 years of age or older? If so… have you registered to vote? This year’s election is between George W. Bush and John Kerry, and I can tell you where to go to register and vote. You can

Why are
ALC students treated like Delinquints? Angel Spillman
ALC students can play on high school sport teams to help the High School win games and get a good reputation, right? Yet ALC students can’t go to the senior prom unless asked by a high school student. Is that not wrong? I think that the High School is being very unfair about ALC students being able to attend events like prom and homecoming dance. We are still a part of District 518 and we should be able to attend these events that happen at the High School because we are High School students. I think that it is really messed up that we cannot go to the prom unless we are asked by a high school student. I really want to go to (Continuedà) |
the prom this year because it is my senior year, but the problem is both my boyfriend and I attend the ALC. This rule is unfair and makes me feel as though I am looked down upon because I go to the ALC. I believe it needs to be changed. |

Deep
Thoughts By Naythen Gross Kurt Cobain: One of the most influential artists of the
early 1990’s. The front man for one of
the greatest and influential bands
of all time Nirvana. Many of you know Nirvana by songs such
as Smells Like Teen
Spirit, and Come as you are, and are aware that Kurt Cobain died of a “self
inflicted gunshot to the head” on The first thing I want to
point out is that he would not have killed himself, because he loved his
daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, way too much to leave her. If you saw any pictures of Kurt, and Frances, you would see that he would never put her down. He always carried
her, he was always talking to her or about her in interviews, and he never
let her down. Cobain’s “suicide note”
reads: “Frances, and Courtney, keep going on…I will see you at the altar.”
Well, it does say that, but if you
look at a copy of the actual note, you will realize that suddenly the
handwriting changes. It goes from his handwriting to someone
else’s. Could it be Courtney Love’s handwriting? (Continued
à) |
Another thing is that, every
one of the doctors/psychotherapists that he ever saw has said that he was not suicidal. After Cobain died, Courtney told the world
he was very suicidal, and everyone took her word for it. Everybody also tends to think that all Kurt
ever sang about was drugs, and death.
Yet I challenge anyone to tell me one
song that even mentions death, or drugs (Even the song I hate myself and I want to die
doesn’t mention death in the song). The last thing I want to mention is that dead men don’t pull
triggers. What does that mean
exactly? It means that when Kurt was
autopsied, they discovered 2.25 grams of Heroine in his body. Now, when you do that much heroine, one of
the effects is that you are way too
lazy to want to even move. I doubt he
would have wanted to grab a gun, put it to his head, and pull the trigger. So, if you think about it, Kurt Cobain couldn’t have killed himself.
The next time a celebrity dies, and they blame it on suicide, don’t
believe everything you are told. Go
out and look more deeply into the story, and look at all the facts. |

Spider-man
2 By: Ryan White
Movie overview: It's been two years since mild-mannered Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) first began struggling with "the gift and the curse." In Spider-Man 2, he's still trying to come to terms with his identity as the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man. In the new film, Peter is in college, and his relationships with the people he cares about are crumbling. He wants to reveal his secret identity to Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst). His friendship with Harry Osborn is stressed by the fact that Harry hates Spider-Man. Meanwhile, Peter's Aunt May has fallen on difficult times. To make matters worse, a new foe, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), appears.
My opinion: I like Spider-man 2, but I think the first one was a lot better than the second one just for the fact that Spider-man 2 is a tear jerker. The whole thing is that Peter is doing badly at college and he is starting to lose his friends because he doesn’t know (Continued à) |
who he wants to be – either Peter Parker or Spider-man. He gives up being Spider-man – for a while – and ultimately decides that he is going to be himself for a while. Then a new villain appears, Dr. Octopus, who starts to tear up the city and everyone around it. Time for Spider-man!

Think
Twice Before Swiping a Lobster By Amanda Mejia A thief who crammed live lobsters in his pants is learning that crime doesn’t pay. You see, the creatures with their sharp claws gave the thief a vasectomy! Police say the shoplifter removed a live lobster from one of their seafood tanks and shoved it down his pants. The man stopped dead in his tracks when he felt the lobster pinching him you-know-where. The lobster was removed by a paramedic who pried its claws loose with pliers. According to doctors, the man will fully recover, but he won’t be able to have children. “Basically it was a do-it-yourself vasectomy,” said the Doctor. The supermarket manager declined to charge the thief with any crime. “The guy’s gone through enough pain,” the store manager said to the news media. “I think he has learned his lesson. I doubt if he’ll ever steal again.” If you happen
to be interested, live lobsters are sold here in |
