ASK ANY HIGH SCHOOL GRAD-uate about their high school experience, and you are met with the same old clichs: Four years never flew by so fast. These are the best years of your life; make the most of them. The same rehashed, re-used, and recycled material. Yet as un-original and lazy as it seems, I as a soon-to-be graduate of Glenbard North High School cannot sum it up any better.

Whether you love school or hate it, whether you relish in academic success or cringe at the sight of your grade point average, high school and everything it en-compasses seem but a fleeting memory by the end of your senior year. I swear it was just yesterday that I walked through Door Eight after a warm, relaxing summer break. And the day before that, I swear I was entering Glenbard North for the first time as a young, eager, slightly lost fresh-man. Four years seem long when you are taking them day by day, but in retrospect, it almost feels like nothing at all. Those four years, dozens of classes, hundreds

of people, they are all gone by the time you graduate. Your fond memories are just that: memories. A warm feeling in-side that you cannot quite trace back to its source.

When you graduate, the people you are surrounded with on a daily basis sudden-ly disappear and scatter across the coun-try to the schools of their choosing. Your daily routine and rituals, the things that keep you going every morning and every night get flipped on their head once you leave. Make them last. Four years gone in the blink of an eye. Please make them last.

When your four not-so-long years of high school come to an end, hold on to what memories you have. No matter how far you may move and how long you may be gone, these memories will serve as a token of your youth, so make them last.

Racist Against White People?

WE HAVE ALL HEARD IT. A white person and a person of color get into a heated debate about race issues, and the person of color will point out the deplorable racism illustrated in George Zimmermans acquittal, while the white person will criticize affirmative action and the inequality shown when a black student is picked over a white student who has the same creden-tials. As said white person proceeds to explain how hypocritical it is for the per-son of color to be so racist in such a culturally accepting society, suddenly the issue of reverse racism is brought to the forefront of the de-bate. Furthermore, perhaps the white person will ex-claim that while people of color face less discrimina-tion, white people face just as much.

Therein lies the problem of racial issues in the twenty-first century. In May 2011, the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science pub-lished a study done by Tufts Universitys School of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School which found that both white and black people agree that anti-black racism has decreased over the last sixty years. That sounds pretty reasonable. But the kicker is that whites surveyed in this same study believe that anti-white racism has increased and is now a bigger prob-lem than anti-black racism. Researchers Michael Norton and Samuel Sommers state, These data are the first to demon-strate that not only do whites think more progress has been made toward equality than do blacks, but whites also now be-lieve that this progress is linked to a new inequality at their expense. They say that whites see racial equality as a zero sum game, in which gains for one group

mean losses for the other.What the people who believe this

fail to see is that reverse racism does not and cannot exist. Australian-based standup comedian Aamer Rahman ex-plains it perfectly to the Huffington Post. Covering issues like colonization, im-perialism, slavery, inequality, privilege, war, cultural superiority and internalized racism, he sums up the fact that the only

way reverse racism can exist is if people of color went back in time, made them-selves the dominant group, and changed history so that white people were sub-jected to hundreds of years of slavery and institutionalized discrimination. So, maybe once the National Journal claims that Congress has become the most ra-cially and ethnically diverse in the na-tions history because the percentage of white members is now at sixteen per-cent, white people can say that reverse racism exists. Maybe once the National Center for Law and Economic Justice says that compared to black or Hispanic

Americans, white people are three times more likely to live in deep poverty, re-verse racism will be a real and pervasive issue, entrenched in our society. Until then, there is no system of oppression in America that actively works to oppress and subjugate white people. When a per-son of color expresses prejudice or racial biases towards a white person, while it is unfair and possibly even bigoted, that in-

dividual is acting alone, and it is wildly inappropriate to call this reverse racism and claim that it is racism on par with anything like the insti-tutionalized racism that per-son of color will come into contact with.

Racism in its most truth-ful form is when prejudice and power combine to the point where discrimination is ingrained in the attitudes and ideals of a society, contributing to the implicit and explicit oppression of the rights and liberties of a group of people. This intolerance within social structures is allowed to run rampant because of enforcement in laws and media biases, institutional-izing prejudice. It is present in every aspect of life, from the perceptions of jurors in

criminal cases and funding for public schools to admissions to colleges and what neighborhoods people live in. This is why reverse racism can never actually exist. The people who are called racist against white people do not have the power to oppress them. They have the power to openly express prejudice or call white people out on their existing privileges, but they do not have entire social structures, government systems, or normalized stereotypes behind them.

tomed to high school life, they feel that they are able to accomplish more. Many students may sign up for more advanced classes, more activities, and in some cas-es, look for a part-time job. When junior year hits, students take on ACTs, college arrangements, and an increase in work-load. Students perpetually overwork themselves in order to maintain a good profile for colleges, despite the strain on their health in the process.

After all of that, the built-up stress serves as a reminder of how tough high school can be. By senior year, students often just stop caring about learning, es-pecially if they have already been accept-ed into a university. What many students dont realize is that their college accep-tance is contingent on maintaining the same level of grades that they had when accepted and a clean behavioral record, says GoLocalProv College Admissions Expert Cristiana Quinn. Colleges look at their future students senior grades to de-

Look the Partkristin maglabestaff writer termine their true character. They won-

der whether the student will continue to work hard after being rewarded with an acceptance letter, or if the student will not even lift a finger for the sake of their own education.

The habits one forms early in life are often carried over into later stages of life, be it college or the professional world. Motivation and hard work will always win out over basic intelligence, says the Dean of Enrollment Services at Wilkes University. Someone could have all of the knowledge in the world, but it would be completely useless without the wisdom to use it. Even if a student does not care about furthering his or her education af-ter high school, that student will need the basics if he or she is going to have a better chance of making it in this world. One does not have to become a victim of the cyclical contagion of senioritis. Press on, and it will all be worth it in the long run.

Senioritis Epidemic

WHETHER A STUDENT IS preparing for college or going into the job market, neither one of these goals can be accomplished without graduating from high school. Crossing the finish line seems simple enoughuntil senioritis hits. Symptoms include laziness, exces-sive wearing of track pants, and a record number of incomplete assignments. Cases of senioritis may develop over the course of high school, as early as fresh-man year, but most instances develop in the spring of senior year.

Coming in as a freshman, most stu-dents are overwhelmed by the power of choice that has been bestowed upon them. Students are first able to explore different types of classes, take advantage of student resources, as well as select activities to build character and bonds with their peers. As students grow accus-

IT MUST NOW BE APPARENT THAT news stations, local and national, have increased their speculations and criticisms about Muslims. In post-9/11 America, a justifiable fear of terrorist at-tacks persists in the minds of the general public. What is not justifiable is how the media focuses on the entire religion and ethnicity as terrorists, rather than condemning terrorism in general. The image they portray warps the na-tional perception of Middle Eastern and Muslim people. Terrorism and religion obviously do not go hand in hand; in fact, the racial profiling at airports can likely be credited to the emphasis on Muslim or Arabic terrorists in the news. Rather than seeing a turban or hijab as a religious article of clothing, Americans have started viewing them as symbols of evil and violence. It is unfair to have the Islamic religion tainted by what a minority of its followers does.

Contrary to popular belief, ter-rorism is not solely committed by Muslims. There have been numerous cases where non-Muslims incited do-mestic terrorism in the United States. For example, on January 8, 2011, when Jared Loughner opened fire near Tucson, Arizona, trying to kill Congress-woman Gabrielle Giffords; the coverage of the story did not speculate about his religion. The news networks did not dub him a Christian terrorist or even men-tion his religion. So, why is there such an emphasis on religion when a Muslim terrorist attacks and ignored when a non-Muslim terrorist does? Loughner was under public scrutiny, but his religious ideas were never brought to attention. On the other hand, there has been un-just speculation about flight MH370 that went missing from Malaysia to China. Several stations discussed possible rea-sons for disappearance, but Fox News dedicated an entire segment focusing on the fact that the pilot and several passen-gers of the missing plane were Muslim. CNN mentions the religion when they talk

about the pilot, but unlike Fox they real-ize that Malaysia has the highest Islamic population in the world. However, just because CNN recognizes demographic facts, it does not justify their need to as-sociate that religion with terrorism. CNN, deemed a credible news source, contrib-

utes to the thoughts of Islam being linked to terrorism, so as a result, some people lose sight of the truth and are blinded by a false sense of fear. Religion does not intrinsically connect to terrorism, but since it is portrayed that way by the me-dia, there is a fear in the general public of anyone who looks Muslim. Having a fear of fellow Americans who are simply ex-ercising their rights and practicing their faith is a form of religious profiling and completely irrational.

The medias obsession with group-ing Muslims and terrorism together also plays a considerable role in hate crimes committed against Muslims. When news stations bring up religion in possible ter-rorist situations, it attaches a negative stereotype to peaceful Muslim Ameri-cans. There have been hate crimes com-mitted against mosques and Muslims

across America since 9/11, and the FBI even states, Anti-Islamic incidents were the second least reported hate crimes prior to 9/11, but following 9/11, they became the second highest reported among religion-bias incidents. From pre-9/11 to post-9/11, a growth of 1600 per-

cent took place. With the rise in attention to

crimes against Muslims, it seems as if news stations play up the idea of Muslims being attacked because they attacked first. This attention has also created copycat crimes across America. In 2012, a mosque in Ohio fell victim to arson. Though no one was hurt, it is clear that this at-tack was in reaction to the grow-ing association of Islam and anti-American ideals. The person of interest was reported as a white, middle-aged man, but his reli-gion was still never mentioned. So much focus was placed on the religion of the terrorist group on 9/11 that there is little recog-nition of the fact that many of the people who worked in the World Trade Center were Muslim

and victims of terrorism themselves. The fear of Muslims in America has grown to absurd levels, and many ignorantly view Islam as a terrorists creed. Thanks to the media, Muslims are generalized as terror-ists rather than peaceful people.

In the areas where Mosques have been attacked, many Muslims now live in fear. The medias presentation of terrorism portrays Muslims as the enemy, and it endangers the lives of innocent people. This, mixed with the new coverage on flight MH370, and other possible terror-ist activity, creates a blurred and untrue view of the Islamic religion. The freedom of religion encompasses all peoples, and Muslims should not have to practice in fear of being harmed. The Islamic reli-gion should not be scrutinized for what is not typical in practice.

OPINION OPINION

AFTER A LONG AND ARDUOUS winter, Chicagoans wait with bated breath for that first sign of spring. Some say it is when the snow begins to melt; others swear it is that first sighting of a robin that marks the arrival of spring. Some, on the other hand, like to believe that spring has truly sprung only when prom season kicks off.

As the temperatures rise and bulky winter coats are tossed aside, the height of prom season mounts. Girls frequent prom shops in search of that perfect dress, boys rent tuxes, limos are com-mandeered, and the promposal rears its head once again. To clarify, a prompos-al is defined as the modern phenome-non of one high-school student (almost always a boy) asking another (almost al-ways a girl) to prom in a creative, public, or overstated way. Yes, this is a curious mating ritual that would have even Jane Goodall scratching her head.

However, it should be noted that as a part of this mating ritual, it is imperative to a boys success that he ask the girl. Un-derstandably so, only the promposals in which the boy asks the girl are legiti-mate ones. Heaven forbid if it is directed at a member of the same gender. No, no, the boy must romantically ask and the girl must sit back and daintily search for prom dresses online. If the situation were reversed, it would be simply desperate.

These public displays of affection tend to be ever-so-romantic. The boy sweeps his unassuming preyor, girloff of her feet. The look of terror on the un-suspecting girls face is just part of the magic. It seems as if year after year, these promposals grow more and more os-tentatious and overstated. The culture demands that boys keep up with the trend; a simple Will you go to prom with me? no longer measures up. The perfect promposal must be well-executed,

planned weeks in advance, and require a certain sum of money in order to con-vince that special someone to say yes.

But, in all reality, of course she is go-ing to say yes. How could she not? With all the time and energy a boy puts in and an audience to provide witness to this blushing prom dates affirmation, the prom-poser ensures the yes. If the boy took the risk of asking, the girl at very least owes him the yes. Oh, the reluctant consent of a humiliated partner is simply so magical. And, hey, the girl might be completely uninterested in the boy or un-comfortable with his flirtatious advances, but look at how thoughtful his prompos-al was! The girl, flattered, will surely say yes, and only partly out of obligation.

So, find that special someone and pop the question already! Because here in the good ol U.S. of A., Americans like their prom dates like they like their women: pressured into consent.

Violence in Venezuela breanna wishnowcurrent events editor

More Money, More Problemsalana reynoldsstaff writer

THE CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA, THE conflict in Crimea, even the scandal in New Jerseythese are the hot-button political conflicts that have grabbed the nations attention, and for good reason, as these are complex issues with dangerous im-plications. On the surface, the protests in Venezuela do not seem to have the same level of gravity as the other issues, yet as the situation continues to escalate, more significant repercussions are drawing global attention to this country in turmoil.

The first and most concerning sign of serious trouble in Venezuela was the extreme violence in the streets. What began as peaceful protests against Presi-dent Nicols Maduro and his financial policies quickly escalated to a level of near-warfare. As of April 6, at least thir-ty-nine people have died. There have been countless riots, fighting, vandal-ism, and large-scale destruction. Per-

haps even more concerning are the ac-tions of the Venezuelan National Guard, who have responded to the protests with harsh measures and have allegedly taken hundreds of political prisoners who are being held without charges. The National Guard is also accused of using extreme interrogation techniques and excessive violence. Meanwhile, Maduro, whose resignation is the main demand of the protestors, has denied any undue ac-tion from his government and, in a piece he wrote for the New York Times, laid blame for the protests on the wealthier sections of the country which he claims are solely seeking the unconstitutional ouster of the democratically elected government in order to protect their own interests. The economy suffers from extreme levels of inflation and currency devaluation that have made many neces-sities inaccessible to a great number of the population, but Maduro emphasizes

that steps are being taken to improve the economy and points to recent in-creases in revenue from the oil business.

While it is true that this economy is not the worst Venezuela has seen in recent decades, much of the country is only now ready and willing to take action against their leader to demand improvement. Maduro distinctly lacks the charisma of his controversial prede-cessor and mentor, Hugo Chvez, who greatly inspired loyalty by championing the independence and rights of Latin American countries. Although Maduro is simply continuing Chvezs legacy of promoting socialism, he lacks the mag-netism that often appeased and capti-vated the masses. Thus, as the conflict in Venezuela unfolds, it will continue to pose questions about political corrup-tion, foreign intervention, and human rights that reflect some of the deepest concerns of millions around the world.

ON MARCH 31 OF THIS PA-st month, the Supreme Court handed down a landmark 5-4 ruling in its decision to strike down one of the last remaining federal limits on political cam-paign contributions. This case, known as McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commis-sion, effectively reversed many of the his-torical Watergate-era rulings that aimed to limit moneys influence on politics by putting a cap on the amount of funding wealthy donors could give to actively campaigning politicians. It was a counter ruling that passed based on the now hot-ly debated premise that money equals speech but not necessarily political in-fluence. And it currently allows a single donor to contribute millions of hard dol-lars to a virtually unlimited amount of pol-iticians at the federal and state level. This

Supreme Court ruling, as many against the case have argued, would theoretical-ly allow a man or woman of great wealth to potentially influence elections in all fifty states at every bureaucratic level.

Shaun McCutcheon, the main sup-porter of this ruling and petitioner in the case, argued in a recent statement that by cutting limits on campaign fund-ing the American people are only fur-ther providing support for a system in which We the People hold the ultimate reins of power. Campaign finance re-form supporters, however, have stated that the idea that money has no direct, corrupting influence on politics is ab-surd and has been repeatedly disproven throughout American history. They go on to cite monetary scandals as recent as Rod Blagojevichs soliciting of bribes in Illinois and Nixons infamous Watergate

case, claiming that these incidents paint a very different picture of the history of wealth in American politics than what the Court is suggesting. It is also worth considering that many of the American people McCutcheon is referring to do not have access to the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars often donated during campaigns. With uneven distribu-tion of wealth in mind, many government officials such as Public Citizen president Robert Weissman even went so far as to say that this decision was reestablishing plutocratic rights in America. Although repercussions from this decision have yet to be seen, in a country that prides itself on the idea of equal say for all, it is important to be certain that money does not come to outweigh political equal-ity and a government free of corruption.

Flight 370

ON MARCH 8, MALAYSIA AIR-lines reported that one of its aircrafts, Flight 370, lost contact with Subang Air Traffic Control outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Flight 370 was a scheduled international flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport. Less than one hour after takeoff, around 1:20 pm Malaysia Time, communication with the plane was cut off. Carrying 227 passengers and twelve crew members, the disappear-ance has created the largest multi-national search and rescue ef-fort in history.

Initially, the search began around Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, but after a few days, the search was expanded to include the Anda-man Sea and the Strait of Malacca. Based on military radar data and radio pings be-tween the Inmarsat Satellite and the aircraft, investigators of the crash were able to conclude on March 15 that the plane was heading across the Ma-lay Peninsula in a westerly direction; then, it continued on in either a northern or south-ern direction for an estimated seven hours. After these assumptions were made, the search in the South China Sea was aban-doned. Instead, a new search started three days later in the South Indian Ocean.

Finally, on April 5, there was hope when a Chinese ship detected a radio ping that may have come from the missing aircraft. This was a fantastic, new opportunity to find Flight 370. Unfortunately, the ping-emitting black boxes used by Malaysia Airlines in their planes only have enough battery power to emit pings for approximately one month. Although this finding seemed hopeful, the

Associated Press stated, It was not de-termined whether the signal was related to the missing jet. In addition, ocean-ographer Simon Boxall has stated that the frequency picked up by the Chinese ship is a fairly common frequency used by a variety of different instruments, not just aircrafts. Furthermore, it may take a considerably long time before the rescue crews are able to locate the black boxes and determine if they belong to Flight 370 or its wreckage. Nevertheless, the possi-

bility of the pings originating from Flight 370 has been the most promising lead in the search to find the missing aircraft.

As the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 continues, the likeliness of finding survivors has substantially de-creased. On March 15, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak issued a statement essentially confirming that the aircraft most likely crashed into the South In-dian Ocean and the chance of finding any survivors was slim. Moreover, while some families are hoping for survivors, most just want answers as to how a large aircraft could seemingly vanish. Malay Mukherjee who is now caring for his daughters children, a passenger of Flight 370, says, The children are in limbothey want to know where the plane is. Is

it in the ocean or on land? Unfortunately, at this point in time, investigators are un-able to provide families any conclusive an-swers as to where the plane is or if there are any survivors. Sadly, some relatives of the passengers and members aboard Flight 370 have given up any possibility of survi-vors. For instance, a cousin of one of the missing passengers has said, I dont see any hope of them aliveNo matter what, our sadness will never end. Hopefully, in the coming days, rescue crews will be able

to provide the families of the passengers and crew members responses to their unanswered ques-tions.

The strange disappear-ance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has been an event that has captured the attention of the entire world. While search and rescue teams promise to keep looking for the missing aircraft, hope of the passengers or crew members aboard Flight

370 surviving the crash is dim. With any luck, investigators will finally find the air-craft or its remnants and will able to pro-vide the world with answers as to just how Flight 370 was able to nearly vanish from

existence.

CURRENT EVENTS


dielle ochotorenastaff writer

ON DECEMBER 17, 2013, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych signed a finan-cial deal with Russian Presi-dent Vladimir Putin which stated that Ukraine would receive fifteen million dol-lars in financial support and cut Ukraines gas prices by one-third. This deal, how-ever, sparked international conflict. Since much of western Ukraine and the penin-sula of Crimea are predominantly Russian speaking, the people saw the deal with Russia as a positive step towards closer relations with Russia. However, the east-ern Ukrainians view Russia as an unreliable ally and instead wish to be closer to other Western European countries. So, on February 18, some 25,000 protesters arrived in Indepen-dence Square for a peaceful protest against President Yanukovych and his recent deal-ings with Russia. Then on February 20, according to BBC News, the situ-ation exploded, and Kiev faced its bloodiest day of violence in over seventy years as citizens stormed civic offices in an act of protest. Over eighty-eight people were killed within forty-eight hours of fighting and as it dragged on, Independence Square became a battleground. The fighting briefly ended when a European-brokered peace deal was made, but soon began again even more viciously. Yanukovych disappeared, and protesters took over presidential administration buildings.

Since then, Ukraines parliament has taken over, named Oleksandr Turchynov

as interim president, and called for elec-tions in May. Because of these events, Ukraine is in chaos, causing Russia to fear for its assets from the new deal with Ukraine. Given the recent events and the transfer of power, Russias parliament ap-proved President Putins request to use force in Ukraine to protect Russian inter-ests. On March 1, Russian troops quickly moved to occupy the island of Crimea which lies in a peninsula surrounded by the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. In the eyes of the Ukrainian governments Prime Minister Yatsenyuk, Russia has declared war against the Ukrainian people. Putin states that the troops placed in Crimea

are not Russian troops, but rather are self-defense forces against the Ukrai-nian people. Since the Crimean people have closer ties to Russia due to the pro-Russian activists and Russian-speaking majority that live there, ninety-seven percent of the population voted to join Russia in a March 16 referendum. Fear-ing for their countrys welfare, Ukrainian members of parliament have been seek-ing the aid of the US and the UK, urging

them to use all measures, including mili-tary force, to stop Russias aggression. With the rising tension between Russian forces and the possible annexation of Crimea, Ukraines parliament has voted to create a National Guard made up of 60,000 people to defend the country.

March 24 was a day of change when Ukrainian troops left Crimea, as Putin signed a bill allowing Crimea to join the Russian federation. Still, even with the annexation of Crimea, Russian troops refuse to leave Ukraines eastern bor-ders causing NATOs foreign ministers to suspend all civilian and military coop-eration with Russia. At the beginning of

April, pro-Russian forces took over the Crimean region of Ukraine. Rus-sias relations with Western countries are now fraught with tension as they have ignored international direc-tives and acted on their own interests regarding the state of the Ukrainian people. NATO of-ficials and US Pres-ident Obama have even stated that in the case of a war between Ukraine and Russia, they are willing to aid

the Ukrainians in war. Unfazed by threats and rising support for the Ukrainian peo-ple, Russia has now increased sanctions over Ukraine. Tension and fear of war con-tinue to rise as Russia plans on overtaking Crimea with Western countries making threats for war to prevent the invasion.

At the end of each event, team members earn team and individual awards. Yesha Patel, 15, says, Math Team is a really awesome way to learn while having fun at the same time. The members are di-vided up into the freshman-sophomore team and the junior-senior team. The freshman-sophomore team meets in Room 2117, and the junior-senior team meets in Room 2105 after school on Wednesdays. Students should contact math teachers Jill Gotter or Michael Pav-lakis for more information.

Math Team

SCIENCE OLYMPIAD IS IN ITS eighth year at Glenbard North and is a club where students who love science can go to show off their knowledge. As part of Science Olympiad, members go to tournaments and compete against students from dif-ferent schools in approximately twenty events related to different science top-ics. The hope is to make it to the state or national tournament. Some events require students to take a test, and the club members in these events prepare by studying old tests that were used at pre-vious tournaments. Some students are required to bring projects premade, usu-ally for events involving physics. Club ad-visor Adam Heise says, It is a lot of work, however a lot of fun for those who enjoy science. And the club is open and wel-comes new members. Science Olympi-ad meets every Wednesday at 2:45 after school in Room 2308.

CHESS CLUB IS OPEN TO ANY-body who can play or wants to learn how to play chess. The team meets weekly to play games and compete in tournaments. The top eight players are chosen to be a part of the competing team. The compet-ing season goes from the middle of No-vember until the final state tournament with 130 other schools in mid-February. The team goes on a three-day trip to Peoria for the largest high school tour-nament. Club advisor Radomir Niewrzol believes the club to be a place to get away from the pressures of school and homework. The club meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays in Room 2309. Although the season is currently over, the club is still meeting and accept-ing new members.

The Mascots of Glenbard North: Revealed!

melinda troykastaff writer

SENIORS EMILY MASTERTON and Pam Hollingshead have been performing as the Glenbard North mascot for the past few years. They were kind enough to inter-view with the North Current this issue so that they could share their ex-periences with GN.

North Current: When did you first become the

mascot?

Emily Masterton: My freshman year they made an announce-ment to see if anyone wanted to try out to be the mascot. We had to fill out a questionnaire, do an interview, and then try on the suit to show them what we could do. Twelve of us tried out, and two of us made it.

Pam Hollinshead: I really want-ed to do it freshman year. I ap-proached Dr. Mensik one day freshman year, and he told me he would contact someone. I kind of forgot about it after that. Junior year is when I re-ally started to try to get in contact with people about it. I got sent to Mr. Wes-tra, and [we] talked about it, exchanged emails, filled out all of the paper work, and I started officially junior year.

NC: What first made you want to become the mascot?

EM: Im not really into being in the crowd, so it was nice to be separate but still be

able to cheer on our teams and get the crowd hyped up.

PH: In elementary school, I was a cheer-leader for a few years, and I always liked being involved in school spirit. I love big furry creatures! And I thought it would be fun to do it because no one knows who you are! I wasnt into the cheerleading and poms thing anymore, but I wanted to contribute to school spirit and do some-thing that was really small with not too many people. I just really wanted to be a part of it.

NC: What was your experience the first time you were the mascot?

EM: I was petrified. I went out and only lasted about fifteen minutes in the suit because it was so hot. Ive lost maybe ten pounds from the suit just because you sweat so much. It was really scary, but as I got used to it, it became really fun.

PH: The first time I was in the suit, it was

at a football game in the fall, and I was a little bit nervous, but I had a spotter. Having someone there, I felt more at ease. Wed walk around the track and then go in front of the Superfan section, which was our little area. Wed stand there, and I was basically allowed to do what I wanted. I wasnt really scared; I was a little nervous because its kind of hard to see. But once I got out there, it was no problem because Im a naturally goofy, fun person so I was dancing, do-ing all sorts of weird things, so I had no problem.

NC: What does it feel like to be inside the mascot suit?

EM: Youre a different person in the suit. When youre acting as the mascot, people dont think of you as a person but as a panther, so you can do stuff that an actual person couldnt do. You can go up to people and steal their food or their hats, but if you were a regular person and you did that, youd get in trouble! So its really a fun experience.

PH: I wear shorts and a tank top and throw my hair up be-cause I sweat so much. The worst is when you sweat down your face, and you just want to itch it and wipe it, but you cant! But it doesnt smell that bad. The best part is when its a football game, and its cold because you

get that breeze through the mouth; it feels so good.

NC: Have you had any negative or strange experiences while being the

mascot?

EM: Ive had a couple people try to rip my head off, and we have a strap under-neath, so if someone tries to rip the head of, the string just yanks under your neck.

13FEATURESFEATURES12Ive also had a couple kids jump on my back or pull the tail; so now the tail is kind of like half off. Ive actually had one person rip the glove off, and we had to go find it, so I was just gloveless for half the game. Also, theres one band mem-ber who freaks out every time she sees the mascot. I went up to her the first time and she was petrified. I didnt know someone could be that scared of a panther!

PH: Ive had a few. Honestly without having a spotter there, it wouldve been horrible. There was one time I was at a basket-ball game and I stood in front of the Superfan section. I felt like they were petting my head, jok-ing around and saying things like Aw, Kitty! Then all of a sudden my spotter grabbed me, and she told me they were trying to pull my head off by yanking the top of it. Then there was another time that I will never forget. Around the track by the football field, I got ambushed by a group of kids. They were the little peewee foot-ball players, and they attacked me. They jumped on my back, were pulling my tail, but it was okay. I laugh about it now. It was one of those memorable moments.

NC: Do you have to go through specific training to learn how to be

the mascot?

EM: Not really. You just go out there, but I did Google some things about being a mascot. Otherwise I had no clue what I was doing.

PH: No, Mr. Westra pretty much just put me in the suit and I went out there. He didnt really have any audition or training for it. I had no experience, either. I know one of the people we have was previous-ly a mascot, but I hadnt before. I just had it in me to be goofy enough.

NC: Do you hope to be a mascot in college?

EM: I would love to be a mascot in col-lege, but its super hard to be one. You

have to be at least 54 and Im only 53 1/2. I was so upset when I found that out. They said maybe if I get high enough shoes I could do it, but Im going to try out and well see.

PH: Yes, I actually went on a college visit to COD, and they have a new mascot. Its the chaparral, which is like a roadrunner, [or a] big bird, basically. I ran into some-one and we talked about games, and they said it would be possible for when I go there to be the mascot. I would like to do it.

NC: Is being the mascot different for you now than it was when you

first started?

EM: I feel a lot more comfortable than when I first started doing it. The first time, I lasted about fifteen minutes, and now I could go for two hours and Im do-ing pushups and everything now too. Im all pumped up in the suit, and before I would just stand there and wave, freak-ing out inside. After about two days, I got used to it all though. I still cant throw shirts that well though.

PH: You know, not really. But I know that, even though it sounds corny, it gave me a different view on teamwork, because I

mainly work with Emily, and I had never known her before. When I started work-ing with her, I realized how important it was to have someone there with you. [She] and I working together, we made a really good team. When we would be

at the assemblies and I would be watching the mascot high five people and stuff, I really wanted to do it. I was kind of nervous watching it. Once I got in it, I was relaxed.

NC: How does being anony-mous change the experience

of being the mascot?

EM: After my junior year people started finding out. I was getting tired of people of people asking me, but I told one person, and they kept it a secret. Then my senior year, Ive told maybe five people. But there are still a lot of people who dont know, which is pretty cool. When people know who you are, you cant act [dif-ferently]; it just ruins everything. If Im in the suit and I see some-

one who knows that its me I would act so differently, so I just kind of walk away.

PH: Its really funny when you hear peo-ple talk about it. There have been several times when Ive heard people talk about it, and they always wonder who it is. People have seen me walking with Em-ily while spotting her. People always ask me who it is. Its funny because it makes you feel more relaxed when youre in the suit because you know people have no idea who you are. I have done things that were kind of embarrassing, but I get over it because I realize they dont know who I am. It makes it fun.

THIS IS A SPECIAL YEAR FOR GNs theater group, as the company will be presenting a musical, Hello, Dolly!, as its last production of the year. The compa-ny produces a musical every two years. This musical is an excellent choice for the group because of its unique plot and history as a production on Broadway and elsewhere.

Hello, Dolly! is the story of a widower who becomes a matchmaker, only to find the perfect match for herself. Dolly Levi, the protagonist, travels to Yonkers, New York to meet Horace Vandergelder, a well-known unmarried half-a-million-aire, to convince him to have his niece, Ermengarde, marry one of her clients, Ambrose Kemper. Vandergelder op-poses this idea because he believes that Kempers vocation as an artist will not

enable him to give his niece a comfort-able life. In Yonkers, Dolly convinces Vanderfelder and his clerks to go to New York and march in the Fourteenth Street Association Parade. The story continues on as Dolly matches other couples while she pursues Vandergelder for herself.

Hello, Dolly! was first produced on Broadway by David Merrick in 1964, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and ideas from a play by Michael Stewart. This play was based on Thornton Wild-ers 1938 farce The Merchants of Yonkers, though the original plotline originated in John Oxenfords 1835 English play, A Day Well Spent. The musical won a re-cord ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and held this record for an as-tounding thirty-five years. The musical was made into a film of the same name in 1969, and the movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

GN has stayed true to most of the musi-cal plotline, noting its success on Broad-way and elsewhere, and hopes that the production will be a success, as the com-panys musicals are always the highlight of the year. Cast member Priya Rajan, 15, states, The company is very excited to bring Hello, Dolly! to GN this year, as the story is unique and will bring out a number of emotions from the audience because of the productions ability to be humorous and serious at the same time. It has been an honor to be a member of the cast this year because the rehearsals have brought the entire cast together and have inspired us to bring GN a produc-tion it will never forget. Hello, Dolly! will run from Thursday, May 8 through Satur-day, May 10 at 7:30 pm every night, and the tickets cost ten dollars.

EVERY YEAR, GN INDUCTS SPA-nish and French learners into the Spanish and French Honor Soci-eties. These societies recognize students that have been enrolled in hon-ors or regular Spanish or French classes for three full semesters with at least a 4.0 GPA. In order to qualify, students in for-eign language need to have received an A in all three semesters, or a B if in Hon-ors. To be inducted, students need to do two hours of community service in the form of tutoring. Inductees also receive a certificate of completion, a pin at the induction ceremony, and an honor cord to wear during graduation.

The Spanish Honor Society chapter at GN was named after Camilo Jos Cela,

an acclaimed Spanish writer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1989 for his innovative novels. Also, he was credited for inventing tremendsi-mo, a form of writing that emphasizes violence and imagery. He was chosen as GNs chapter to praise his accomplish-ments in Spanish history.

The French Honor Society is backed by the American Association of Teachers of French. This association is devoted to spreading French learning across the na-tion. French teacher Carolyn Fitzgerald says of learning a new language and join-ing the French Honor Society, Students are recognized for many talents in lifesports, music, overall academicsbut this is a specific recognition in honor of the many hours of work they have put into learning this very valuable skill.

On the behalf of students inducted in the Spanish and French Honor Societ-ies, GN student Priya Patel, 16, says, It is an honor to be a part of these societies because we are being recognized for our commitment to a new language. These societies have been a part of GN since the 1990s and will continue to honor achiev-ing students. Every year, a new batch of students is inducted, and students elect a new president and vice president via a majority vote. GN Spanish teacher Alyssa Godzicki says, It is an honor to be a part of these honor societies because stu-dents have worked so hard to get here. The Spanish and French Honor Societies are a great way to acknowledge and re-ward the commitment of hard-working students.

THE GN FOREIGN LANGUAGE Department travels to various countries every other year to provide students with a differ-ent perspective of the world. The privi-lege of visiting another country allows students to learn and gain more respect for different, diverse cultures. In the sum-mer of 2015, Glenbard students have the chance to travel for ten to twelve days to several European countries to have this same experience.

GNs Foreign Language Department traveled to Peru in the summer of 2013. These students were able to experience the Peruvian culture and apply knowl-edge from their foreign language classes to communicate with others. GN Foreign Language teacher Antonina Benigno re-marks, We encourage students to com-municate with natives and bargain while shopping, and allow students to order and try new, authentic food from the countries.

Students traveling in the summer of 2015 will visit Spain, Italy, and France. In ad-dition to planned tours, students will be given free time on the trip to explore and get a feel for what cultures outside of the US are like. This allows students to get a first-hand view of the history as well as modern art of the country.

The GN Foreign Language Department has a rough itinerary of the highlights that students will be able to see during the trip. In Madrid, students will visit places like the Plaza Mayor and several muse-ums. In Paris, students will visit the Ei-ffel Tower and famous museums like the Louvre, home of the priceless painting of the Mona Lisa. Finally, in Rome, stu-dents will be able to see famous sites like the Roman Colosseum (and of course eat pizza). Students will also see many other sites besides the ones listed throughout each country to gain greater knowledge of the countries they visit.

Although having previous knowledge

in French, Spanish, or Italian increases understanding of the country, it is not a requirement to have taken a foreign lan-guage class at GN to go on the trip. All are welcome to travel with the depart-ment in 2015.

According to German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Nothing can be compared to the new life that the dis-covery of another country provides for a thoughtful person. Although I am still the same, I believe to have changed to the bones. Although the cost may seem high, GN foreign language teachers host many fundraisers to lessen the 4,500-dol-lar cost. The trip is actually a great deal the price is low considering all that it covers: airfare, hotels, air-conditioned tour busses, breakfast, and dinner.

For more information, students should contact teachers Monika Numrich, Anto-nina Benigno, or Sarah Minogue.

THE GLENBARD NORTH GIRLS soccer team started the season with a bang. So far, the varsity team has won four games and lost two, while the JV team has won all three of their games. The girls on the freshman soccer team, coached by sci-ence teacher Kathy Rossetti, are off to a good start as well.

The JV captains include Filasha Finley, 15, and Ashley Class, 16. Emma Marti-nez, 17, has scored five goals in the first three games while Summer Corsolini, 16, has been a key player by contribut-ing three assists. Goalkeeper Cece Gillil-and, 16, has only let one goal in the net for each of the seasons three games. JV coach Michael Dietmeyer says, The girls have done a great job battling difficult weather conditions and getting to know each other on the field. The varsity girls have scored seventeen times and have conceded four goals.

There are six seniors and nine juniors on the team. The six seniors on the var-sity team include Ashley Pogue, Em-

ily Merkle, Rachel McDonnell, Jazmine Pina, Marissa Ferreri and Danielle Ulrich, whose dedication and hard work have

been felt throughout every game. Varsity coach David Stanfield believes [the girls] will be very competitive this season

and the next couple. The girls goals this season are to challenge the best teams in DVC and to make the regional playoffs.

Support the Panthers at Wheaton North on May 13 and the varsity girls at the West Chicago tournament on May 5, May 7, and May 10.

THE GLENBARD NORTH GIRLS badminton team kicked off their season with a great start. On March 19, they held an event, So You Think You Can Badminton, in which participants were charged five dollars a match in order to raise money for new equipment and uniforms.

The girls have had some spectacular results in their last few matches, most notably winning the Addison Trail Invite. Varsity came in first place, while junior varsity took second place. Continuing their winning streak, varsity also claimed

first place at the Saxon Invite, played at Schaumburg High School on March 29. JV did not disappoint either; they were awarded with second place, beating ev-ery team but one at the Downers Grove South tournament the weekend of April 5. Commenting on the seasons success, Desiree Calma, 15, explains, I feel like the team is closer than ever this year. Thanks to that, we will continue to suc-ceed and work our hardest to get the winning title.

While all players have excelled this season, some have stood out more than

others. Sisters Trisha Cordero, 15, and Eryka Cordero, 16, who are partners in doubles, have great chemistry together that helps them communicate and beat other teams. Marianna Zalova, 16, and Andrea Gutierrez, 15, also contributed to the team to help win their tournaments. Badminton has had some impressive re-sults, but the girls have more matches to come and will try their best to show that Glenbard North is a force to be reckoned with.

ON MARCH 24, GWYNETH Paltrow sadly announced her separation from musi-cian Chris Martin via her website Goop. The news came directly after an announcement that the front man for the Grammy-winning group Coldplay would be joining the hit singing competi-tion The Voice. After more than a decade of marriage, two children, and well over a year of trying to work things out, the couple is finally de-ciding to end their marriage.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have not always been at odds; in fact, when they first met, they described themselves as instantly be-ing drawn to each other. At the time, Coldplay, Chris Martins band, was an up-and-coming musical group that was slowly but surely gaining global recognition. On the other hand, Paltrow, who had won an Oscar for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for the movie Shake-speare in Love, was a break-out actress in Hollywood.

Paltrow and Martin first met at a Coldplay concert in 2002 while the group was touring in Britain and quickly became a couple. Just days after they an-nounced they were expecting their first daughter, the couple held a private wed-ding ceremony in Southern California in December of 2003. Later on, in 2004, Pal-trow gave birth to their first daughter Ap-ple and the couple also went on to have a son named Moses in 2006. The pair lived in Britain for the majority of their marriage, but also owned homes in the Hamptons on Long Island and New York

City. Eventually, the twosome moved into an eleven million dollar home in Los Angeles where they lived for the remain-der of their marriage.

While the separation came as a shock to many faithful fans of Paltrow and Mar-tin, there had been consistent specula-tion of possible marital problems over the course of their entire marriage. For instance, many reporters and writers

questioned why Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were almost never seen to-gether. Even though Paltrow had been nominated for countless awards includ-ing a Golden Globe this year, the couple was never once photographed together on the red carpet during their ten years of marriage. However, Paltrow and Mar-tin constantly brushed aside controversy as to why they were almost never pho-tographed together, contributing it to

their desire to keep their marriage out of the tabloids. Also, in a 2011 interview, when referring to his marriage to Gwyn-eth Paltrow, Chris Martin told CBS News that the couple wanted to try and keep the whole thing quiet. Furthermore, the couple was also victim to cheating alle-gations. While Paltrow attempted to dis-pel these rumors in a 2011 interview with Britains Daily Telegraph, she made a

comment that many readers believed to imply that there had been infidelity in her marriage when she stated, Life is complicated and long and I know people that I re-spect and admire and look up to who have had extra-marital affairs. Its like were flawed. Nevertheless, Pal-trow did not confirm that she or her husband Chris Martin had been unfaith-ful. Additionally, over the course of many interviews in 2011, Paltrow appeared to be preaching a never-ending speech about how difficult marriage is, which came off to many as clues that Paltrow and Martins marriage was crumbling.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have vowed not to put their children through

an ugly divorce. The couple has said that they will always share a bond with each other, remain close friends, and continue to put their children first. In fact, the soon to be divorced couple amicably spent a weekend together in the Bahamas with close friends. With any luck, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martins divorce will be painless, and the two stars can go back to raising their beautiful two chil-dren.

THE FORTY-NINTH ANNUAL Academy of Country Music Awards took place on Sun-day, April 6, 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The awards were a big event in country music that started with a massive kick-off party which was hosted by Hunter Hayes. Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan were hosts of the ACMAs and although they did not win any awards themselves, they were extremely confident in calling themselves the biggest celebrities at the event. The two were not afraid to roast any of the audience members and bashed other genres of music through-out the night.

There were many great performances that night, including Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, and Shakira. Miranda

Lambert and Keith Urban stole the show as they earned top honors. The night was also filled with the recognition of the achievements of country singers. The winners, however, were not that surpris-ing. Miranda Lambert was nominated for seven awards and took home three as she won Single Record of the Year, Vo-cal Event of the Year with Keith Urban, and Female Vocalist of the Year. George Strait took home the biggest award at the event as he won Entertainer of the Year, for the second time, his first time being twenty-five years ago. Florida Georgia Line took home Duo of the Year, as their hit Cruise was at the top of the charts this year. One surprising win of the night was Justin Moore, who won New Artist of the Year. He was clearly not eligible for the award as Moor has sold 577,000 copies of his album, and has been certi-fied gold. The ACMA regulations clearly state any artist who has sold over 500,000

copies is ineligible for the award. There were strong outcries from fans of other artists who were also up for the nomina-tion.

Numerous artists performed incred-ibly throughout the night. The highlight of the night was when Blake Shelton and Shakira performed their collaboration Medicine. Miranda Lambert, top win-ner of the night, also took the stage as she performed her hit single Automatic. Tim McGraw and his wife Faith Hill also performed a duet of Meanwhile Back at Mamas. There were seventeen other performances, including George Strait and Brad Paisley, filling the night with country music. The forty-ninth Academy of Country Music Awards were a great success as viewers were delighted to see their favorite artists win and the many performances by the greatest talents of country music.

The Country Music Awardsasheena siddiquistaff writer

DUBBED BY ELTON JOHN AS THE greatest songwriter on the planet, Rufus Wainwright has won over countless fans with lush pop music that incorporates el-ements of opera and show-tunes. His ca-reer took flight when he recorded a cover of Leonard Cohens Hallelujah, which is recognized for being on the soundtrack of the smash-hit animated film Shrek. Wainwright may not be a chart-topping musician, but he has released seven critically acclaimed albums, four DVDs, and a handful of live albums, as well as performing at legendary venues such as Carnegie Hall. With an impressive career and catalogue of music spanning almost two decades, forty-year-old Rufus Wain-wright has created a best of collection that includes pieces from each of his

albums. Wainwrights records are often very morose and autobiographical, and tackle his personal struggles with drug addiction, insecurities, family members (his parents are critically-acclaimed folk singers), his sexuality, and love.

His new album features eighteen tracks, plus a second disc complete with sixteen tracks. These tunes are ex-quisite and demonstrate the maturity of Wainwrights voice as he ages. From the rather nasal, yet unique vocal char-acteristics of his self-titled debut album (1998), to his rich, silky, and rather op-eratic voice found in All Days are Nights: Songs for Lulu (2010) and Out of the Game (2012), Wainwright has established him-self through his career as one of the best vocalists of his generation. Mainly com-posing his masterpieces using the piano and the guitar, Wainwright features songs on this album with not only solo piano or solo guitar, but lush strings, genius percussion, and powerful horn sections.

Vibrate may not feature all of his cult hits, but his selection of songs makes him out to be the avant-garde artist that he really is. In addition to Rufus Wainwrights clas-sic repertoire, Vibrate features two new tracks including the pop/rock delicacy Me and Liza, which describes Rufus Wainwrights friendship with pop-icon Liza Minelli. The second new track, Chic and Pointless, is a light guitar tune for easy listeners. GN student and devout Rufus Wainwright fan Emily Peraza, 15, says, My favorite part about Rufuss mu-sic is his unique voice and the raw emo-tion that you can feel behind his captivat-ing lyrics.

Rufus Wainwright is making his way to the Chicagoland area this summer at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park. There is a pre-sale for tickets to his show currently available on www.rufuswainwright.com, and the actual concert is June 25, 2014. Plan on purchasing tickets promptly, as Rufus will not be revisiting Chicago soon.

monly, men ages forty through seventy are afflicted with ALS. The average age for diagnosis is fifty years old.

Shortly after his diagnosis, my great un-cle suffered only slight pains; however, those little pains eventually grew larger and larger. One day, when he and his family were over, he said to me that with each day comes a little more pain, but also a little more to be grateful for in life, and the best should wholeheartedly be made out of each day. From then on he was wheelchair ridden, slowly betrayed and consumed by his own body. Day af-ter day, month after month, and the fur-ther downhill his health deteriorated, his hopes and spirits never wavered.

As a businessman and writer, the day

when he could no longer sign his name, his identity, was the day that broke many hearts. His signature began his career, and losing that beginning meant slowly losing the rest of his journey in life. As a writer, he created his own life philosophy to live by, revealing through his mind full of ex-perience and wisdom, There are things that we dont want to happen but have to learn to accept, things we dont want to know but have to learn, and people we cant live without but have to let go. Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself, and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from. Be good and do good.

FEBRUARY 12, 2014, MY GREAT uncle, Navin Gandhi, lost his bat-tle with Amyotrophic Lateral Scle-rosis (ALS), otherwise referred to as Lou Gehrigs Disease. ALS, in simple terms, is the deterioration of all voluntary systems and muscles, often resulting in a premature death. Viewing this treacher-ous disease through the eyes of a sixteen-year-old was a shock into the brutal reali-ties that the world holds.

ALS can strike any person, anywhere, and at any time in life; approximately 5,600 people are diagnosed with ALS each year, but the deadly disease is still incurable. Commonly, men have a twen-ty percent higher chance than women of contracting this disease. More com-

Poisonous Produce

EVERY YEAR, NEW ISSUES ARISE pertaining to peoples health. One of the most crucial health concerns in the United States this year is food safety; the United States De-partment of Agriculture recently discov-ered that the food industry has risen the use of pesticides in fruits and vegetables. The reason for the increase of pesticides is that bugs and insects are growing re-sistant to the pesticides because of over-use. A small portion of pesticides in fruits and vegetables will not do much harm to peoples health, but if the amount of pes-ticides being used increases it could be-come a serious health hazard. The most wholesome foods are slowly developing into the most dangerous because the government is allowing the food industry to use more pesticides on their produce.

If pesticides are consumed in large amounts, the chemicals may end up poi-

soning the body and harming the nervous system, the reproductive system, and the endocrine system. People are concerned that the United States Food and Drug As-sociation is not putting enough effort into preventing the chemicals and pesticides from harming their health.

The types of produce that should be most looked out for are apples, celery, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, hot peppers, nectarines, peaches, potatoes, spinach, strawberries, and sweet bell peppers. They likely contain the most pesticides due to their thin skin.

Ultimately, there is little consumers can do to reduce the use of chemicals, so there are other options when choos-ing produce at the grocery store. Some people buy organic fruits and vegetables since they do not contain any pesticides. However, it is expensive and not every-one can afford to buy organic produce. The next best thing is to find substitutes

for the fruits and vegetables that have high doses of chemicals. Replacement foods include asparagus, avocado, cab-bage, cantaloupe, corn, eggplant, grape-fruit, kiwi, mangos, mushrooms, onions, papaya, pineapple, sweet peas, and sweet potatoes. For example, pineapple can be substituted for strawberries, and sweet potatoes can replace regular pota-toes. People also buy special washes to clean produce. Dr. Mehmet Oz informs his viewers, You dont have to wait for the US government to fix this problem. We could fix it in our households.

Even though the overuse of pesticides and chemicals in produce is becoming a major health concern, the need to wait for the government to make changes is not necessary. There are substitutes to certain fruits, as well as organic foods to try. Natural and organic produce can be found at grocery stores such as Whole Foods.

COFFEE IS A COMPLEX BEV-erage that has captivated ca-sual coffee drinkers, cultural elites, and students alike. Believe it or not coffee comes from a cherry. The cherry is picked at its peak of ripeness; the bean is extracted from the fruit, sun-dried, packed, shipped, roasted, ground, and brewed. Up until recent years, this was coffee. Some drank it black, some added cream and sugar, while others enjoyed a latte, cappuccino, or shot of espresso.

In 2007, Starbucks Coffee Company of Seattle, Washington, the largest cof-fee brand on the planet, introduced the iconic Frappuccino blended beverage. First, they were bottled, flavored coffee drinks with milk; now, they have turned into thirty ounce drinks that are practi-cally milkshakes topped with whipped cream, chocolate chips, syrups, drizzles, and sugar. Some of these beverages may not even include coffee or espres-so the ingredient all Starbucks drinks should include, as it is a coffee shop. These beverages were invented to ap-peal to a younger market and a new gen-eration of coffee drinkers. The custom-ers in Starbucks are getting younger and younger, so in turn, the consumption of five-calorie coffee is decreasing, while the purchasing of fattening, sugary, and artificially colored Frappuccinos is in-creasing. Starbucks has also changed the treats found in their pastry case from simple and classic delicacies, to buttery, sugary, and greasy desserts. Customers are now skipping out on a classic brewed coffee and a banana, opting instead for a Frappuccino bigger than the size of the average human stomach, paired with a few chocolate chip cookies and a cake pop. In addition to this, Starbucks sells ice cream by the pint and quarter at most major grocery stores. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz once said, Coffee will

always be the core of what we do. So many companies have made mistakes by not sticking to their knitting and they start believing their own press. Thats not go-ing to be us. But with the introduction and focus on new beverages and food items that include fattening pastries, lunches, and Starbucks Evenings (small palates of food served with wine at se-lect locations during the evening hours), Schultz did not stick to the core of what Starbucks was. Schultzs goal was also to emulate the environment of classic Euro-pean coffee bars, but the expansive and unhealthy menu, and the baristas wear-ing baseball caps and drive-thru head-sets, is far from the environment of clas-sic coffee shops.

At Starbucks, the Caramel Frappuc-cino is a popular beverage. According to nutrition facts from the official website of Starbucks, this drink has 410 calories, and actually has the least amount of calo-ries in comparison to similar beverages from Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds.

Starbucks Coffee: From Bean to Dessert

This beverage is by no means healthy, and other Starbucks drinks are loaded with even more calories! The Pumpkin Spice Latte is over 500 calories, and has a whopping twenty-two grams of fat.

When choosing between a Frappuc-cino and any other beverage at Starbucks with a pastry, ditch the Frappuccino for an iced coffee with milk. For customers who prefer hot beverages, swap a Cara-mel Macchiato for a Skinny Vanilla Latte. It has sugar-free syrup, and a balanced taste. As for those pastries, grab a banana from the basket at the counter instead. It is sweet, delicious, and satisfying. Make the better choice at Starbucks, and dump the drive-thru for a walk through the door. Even though Starbucks may not be as centered on brewed coffee as it used to be, customers will still be greeted by an intense fragrance of deep, complex, and earthy coffee; and thats just how it should be.

Body Battles: The Modern Struggle

SOCIETY OFTEN SEEMS TO DICT- ate that being thin and beautiful are synonymous. Body image is defined as the way that people-perceive their bodies and the assumption of how others perceive them. This image is often affected by family, friends, social pressure, and the media. The media is re-sponsible for keeping everyone informed and entertained, but it also commercializ-es how people should ideally body type. Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers have advertisements for dieting programs to push for weight loss, and these programs may make larger individuals feel pressure to conform to a certain body type. Judg-ments of who is considered overweight or not are based on personal opinion. Even for people who are technically not overweight, the push for dieting is every-where. In fact, according to ANAD (the

National Association of Anorexia Nervo-sa and Associated Disorders) more than one-third of Americans admit to normal dieting. However, many of those diets can be harmful, and as a result, about one-fourth of those people will suffer from a partial or complete eating dis-order. ANADs website also states that ninety-five percent of people with eating disorders are between the ages of twelve and twenty-five. Since the problem is most prominent in the current teenage generation, there must be something that has changed in the last twenty years.

Increased technology use is key to the expanding insecurities about weight among teenagers, whether it be social media pressure or models looking skin-nier than ever because of Photoshop. Social media has become so essential in a teenagers life that the amount of

likes someone gets on Instagram or Facebook photos impacts how good-looking they perceive themselves to be. Shockingly, young children are beginning to be pushed into the idea of becoming a certain weight. A study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Insti-tute showed through a survey that forty-percent of girls between nine and ten years old have already attempted to lose weight. When a girl is young, she should be focusing on playing games and enjoy-ing her childhood, rather than her looks. Following a similar pattern, college kids are more insecure about themselves as well: fifty-eight percent of college girls feel pressured to be a certain weight (ANAD). Commenting on her views to-wards body image is Glenbard North stu-dent Emily Pereza, 15, who said, Thou-sands of years ago, girls did not need to

stand on a scale to be ac-cepted. The problem with todays media is that it has transformed girls into inse-cure robots. People do not realize that girls that were born a thousand years ago were just as beautiful as the girls born nowadays. Body image is a challenge people of all ages and gender have to deal with. Learning to accept everyones unique body type is an important step in building up peoples self-confidence. Losing the pressure of conforming to body image is only a few physiological steps away.
