As “Angels Among Us” by Alabama played in the Southport High School Fieldhouse, all the participants locked hands in a circle and took a moment of silence for Riley Hospital patients. That night at the Riley Dance Mara-thon, the committee members revealed that they raised $16,051.80.

The Riley Dance Marathon raises money for the Ryan White Foundation. This founda-tion works with community-based organiza-tions to raise money for HIV-related services. The Riley Dance Marathon is modeled after the 36-hour dance marathon hosted at I.U. Members of the I.U. Riley Dance Marathon also participated.

At the Riley Dance Marathon, students had the opportunity to participate in different stations that consisted of learning the line dance, working on crafts and playing video games while staying on their feet during the six-hour marathon. After each hour was com-pleted, the students had the opportunity to listen to a Riley Hospital patient’s story. Two Southport High School students even shared their Riley experience with the participants. Sophomore Morgan Ray and senior co-presi-dent Jaime Robbins shared their stories.

Robbins shared her experience at Riley

Hospital and how she has dealt with her heart condition. Even though she is faced with com-plications like not being able to participate in sports or not being able to go in hot tubs, she wanted to share with students that she is just a kid too and how Riley Hospital helped to remind her of that.

Social studies teacher Mr. Joe Leonard and the school’s social worker Mrs. Jorie Oskay are the co-sponsors of the Riley Dance Mar-

athon. Leonard has been involved with the committee for 10 years, and Oskay has been involved with the marathon for six years. Leonard and Oskay’s jobs in the committee are to oversee the students and make sure ev-erything is run smoothly.

Leonard let senior co-president Kellie McAllister and Robbins do most of the activi-ties by themselves.

Throughout this year, teachers and students alike have adapted to evaluations as well as construction detours. During this time of change, principal Ms. Barbara Brouwer sees that the tim-ing is ideal for rebuilding the daily schedule.

In 2010, Southport had to make drastic changes around the school to adjust to the tight-

ened budget. In doing so, the school threw out the block schedule for an eight-period schedule that would allow students to attain more credits in their time at Southport, according to Brouwer.

However, this new modified-block schedule is said to provide the benefits of an eight-period agenda, while allowing classes to have more time together as the original block schedule once did.

“We were looking for something that was closer to a block, but didn’t cost more money for additional staff,” Brouwer said.

There are three days in the modified block. Each day, there are five blocks, which last for about 70 minutes with lunch included in one 105 minute-long block. On red days, first, third, fourth, fifth and seventh period will meet. On white days,

second, third, fourth, sixth and seventh meet. And on black days, first, second, fifth and sixth meet with an iPass period included after second period.

Every third day has an iPass period. This period acts like a “built-in study hall,” according to Brouwer, but is not a replacement. It is, however, an option for students who need extra help and cannot stay after school.

Last year, the teachers of Southport were on the fence about the new schedule being intro-duced alongside the evaluation system, and that is why the change was postponed.

“Change is hard for everybody,” Brouwer said. “But I want Southport High School and our students to feel like we’re pushing it and we’re looking for what’s best.”

Southport’s second Cultural Diversity Concert will be held on April 19 in Southport’s Auditorium. This year, the concert is titled “Cultural Footprints.”

This concert will start at 7 p.m. and will last about an hour and a half, according to E.L. teacher Mrs. Amy Peddie. Tickets will be sold at the doors for $3. According to Peddie, the purpose of this concert is to learn about dif-ferent cultures within Southport and to show them to the community.

There will be different cultures from at least seven different countries at the concert, which consist of Burma, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Liberia, Pakistan, Mexico and different ethnic groups within the Chin and African cultures.

The night will start off with an introduction explaining what is going to be going on that night, who the kids are and why they are doing the concert.

After that, there will be five solos put to-gether and two dance groups. One of those two dance groups will have a mix of Perry Meridian students and Southport students in the dance group, but the rest of the students performing in the concert are from Southport.

In the middle of the program, there will be a fashion show for the students and different cultures. This fashion show will have students who attend Southport wearing their country’s traditional clothing that they would wear to a regular celebration in their own country.

This fashion show will be like any other fashion show, according to Peddie. The students will walk on stage in their traditional clothing, pose at the end of the stage and walk back. During their time of walking down the stage, there will be someone describ-ing their clothing that they are wearing, which country that they are representing and who they are.

Senior Ngun Bawr has been taking care of the fashion show and putting it together. Accord-ing to Bawr, she hopes that students and the community will see what she sees and realize that everyone is equal within Southport and in other schools as well.

“(The purpose of the concert is) to show them that we are altogether and that we are all one in this school,” Bawr said. “It doesn’t matter who we are, what colors we are or any-thing. We are all equal.”

At the end of the concert, all the students who have practiced singing with Peddie will then sing a final song for the night, “We Are The World” by Michael Jackson.

Peddie hopes that the concert will have positive effects on the students and the com-munity. She hopes that they have fun, but at the same time learn more about the different types of cultures that are within Southport.

“I just want, most importantly, the kids to have a good time celebrating their culture and who they are,” Peddie said.

(Continued from page 1)They have both been involved in the Riley

Dance Marathon for all four years. Robbins and McAllister were in charge of the marathon, which included overseeing groups of students that were responsible for catering, communicating with the public about Riley Dance Marathon, recruiting dancers and fundraising money.

The committees had been fundraising since August. According to Robbins the committees had fundraised at the Traders Point Horseshow, at grocery stores and the Indianapolis Motor speed-way. The committee members did canning at gro-cery stores, asked for donations and businesses gave them leftover money from the money they raised. They also did “miracle minutes” at sporting events, where they ran through the stands with buckets for one minute to raise money. Some committees organized a sweatpants day and sold doughnuts from Longs Bakery the Wednesday and Thursday before the marathon.

Local restaurants donated food to the mara-thon including Wing Stop, Texas Roadhouse, Moes, Church’s chicken and Chik-Fil-A.

Robbins explained the best thing she has tak-en from participating in Riley Dance Marathon is that she has gained a sense of self-worth.

“The best way to help yourself is to start with helping others,” Robbins said.

Leonard described the dance marathon as one of the best things he gets to do.

“I think it is the most unique activity in school, because it focuses on raising money for a hospital and the kids focus on an outward activity,” Leon-ard said. “It’s cool to get to see high school stu-dents raise money for the hospital.”

Billonario un modelo ejemplar para estudiantes con ganas de tener éxito

¿Te has pasado alguna vez que no importa cuántas veces realices una actividad, deporte, material, al final siempre obtienes el mismo re-sultado? La gente exitosa en diferentes áreas son frecuentemente dichos ser bendecidos con talento de parte de Dios o ser gente predestina-da. No obstante nadie toma por cuenta de que, muchos de ellos trabajaron más frecuente de lo que una persona promedio podría imaginar.

Ser exitoso no es tan sencillo como decir que él le tiene mucho amor a su trabajo o es que tiene mucho dinero. Estas son sólo excusas baratas.

Un gran ejemplo de éxito que todos de-berían seguir es el del gran empresario méxi-cano Carlos Slim nacido en el Distrito Federal, Mexico, de descendencia Libanesa por parte de su padre . Slim hoy en días es mejor conocido como “el hombre más rico del mundo.’’ Slim es el dueño de Telmex y gran parte de la Media en México y en países del sur de América. El actualmente posea una fortuna de $69 billones de dólares.

Si él lo deseara así, podría gastar 200,000 dolares por minuto en los siguientes 100 años antes de acabarse su dinero. Nacido en el 27 de enero del 1940 (actualmente tiene 73 años) Este hombre ha demostrado un enorme poten-cial y capacidad en el manejo de negocios ya que desde los 12 años de edad con ahorros ob-tenidos de sus domingos, realizó sus primeras inversiones en bonos y acciones del Banco Na-cional de México. Para su mala suerte en el año siguiente 1953 su padre murío.

El señor Slim desde su niñez siempre de-mostró gran interés sobre las finanzas, no obstante desde el momento en que su padre muere el encontró dificultades de aceptación. Las cuales de alguna manera lo ayudaron como inspiración y en precisión al trabajo que el desempeñaría en los siguientes 13 años para convertirse en lo que es ahora. Slim hizo crec-

er su fortuna de una manera bastante consid-erable con el transcurso del tiempo debido a sus esfuerzos y dedicación. Primeramente Carlos empezó a trabajar en la compañía de la familia cuando tenía la edad de 17. Slim ganaba 200 pesos por semana antes de que Ingresara en la Universidad Nacional Autono-ma de México con el propósito de estudiar ingenieria civil.

Al mismo tiempo el daba clases de algebra y programación lineal hasta que en 1961,se graduo y paso por heredar una parte de bi-enes raíces de su padre. Después decidio hacer grandes inversiones sucesivamente, siguió haciendo negocios. El es el dueño de muchas compañías. En 1965 funda la inver-sora Bursatil y al año siguiente crea La Inmo-biliaria Carso en enero.

En 1991 Slim compro los teléfonos de Mexico que llego a ser el monopolio más lar-go en México . En pocas palabras el controla todo lo que tenga que ver con teléfonos en Mexico. Muchos creen que esta es la única razón por la que el es millonario.

“El éxito no es hacer bien o muy bien las cosas y tener el reconocimiento de los demás. No es una opinión exterior, es un estado in-terior. Es la armonía del alma y de sus emo-ciones, que necesita del amor, la familia, la amistad, la autenticidad, la integridad,” frase dicha por Carlos Slim.

No necesariamente se necesita ser un gen-io para tener dinero, claramente el trabajar duro lo es todo.

Una de las dudas que intriga a mucha gente es porque será que la gente que ya es millonaria sigue trabajando duro, “después de cumplir su meta’’, la respuesta es que el sabor del éxito es único “tal como lo es el choco-late.’’ Mientras que alguna gente confía en sus cheques de desempleo y seguros médicos mientras miran la televisión, los millonarios siguen trabajando doce horas por día.

“Si tuviera un millón de dólares los usaría para la universidad Y le compraría una casa a mi mama,’’ dijo estudiante de segundo año Isaac Delgado. El es considerado un estudiante que se esfuerza increíblemente por lo que quiere.

Para todas esas admiradoras que les gusta el, lamento decir que el no esta interesado en novias ya que su Schedule es lleno

“Mis consejos paralos jóvenes de hoy en dia es que estudien y escuchen a los consejos que sus padres les dan,”dijo Delgado.

GCDC members reflect on active year

by Vanessa AbplanalpReporter

It was planned freshman year. It was deter-mined junior year. Senior year, it happened.

Seniors Charlie Miller, David Candler, Gabe Dreibelbis and Casey Kauffman had prepared to be Southport High School’s booster club since their first year of high school. Their planning came true senior year.

Now, with only a little over a month of school left, a new booster club will rise to the occasion and the current boys look back on their jour-ney, with advice for the aspiring 2013-2014 booster club.

Candler says that they decided to become booster club freshman year, with Dreibelbis in-spired by the videos.

“Freshman year, I saw the booster club video and was like, that would be amazing to do with my three best friends,” Dreibelbis said.

After having to wait until junior year, it was finally announced that the four would live out their plans.

According to Kauffman, they were confident of winning and didn’t know anyone was running against them until the election week.

The opportunity to become booster club greatly affected Miller for the better.

“I’m definitely glad we won,” Miller said. “It made my senior year.”

With the four being seniors, after this year, they’re parting ways and will be off to differ-ent colleges. But for now, the club reflects on what have been their most beloved moments and what they will miss most.

Kauffman’s favorite memory took place on Senior Night, as it was pouring down rain onto a muddy football field.

“We only had a crowd of like 10 people, in-cluding us, so after the game we all went on the field and dove in the mud,” Kauffman said.

Dreibelbis remembers after the first pep ses-sion when they huddled together, and it was a huge relief.

Meetings with co-sponsors Mrs. Stacey Mat-lock and Mr. Sam Hanley were Candler’s favor-ite part, being able to see sides of teachers no one knew existed.

For Miller, it was a basketball game when Southport defeated Perry Meridian and the booster club almost got into a fight with the other team’s cheerleaders.

Out with the old and in with the new, as a new booster club will conquer. Seeing as the boys have successfully campaigned and become booster club, they have some wise words for the current runners.

Miller encourages anyone to run who wants to, advertise as much as possible and work so students know why they should vote.

Be prepared for the amount of work and keep it PG is what Dreibelbis has to say about it.

According to Candler, one has to be ready for the challenge and also be known.

“We tried to get our names out there and make sure people knew us,” Candler said. “When we came to the video, we tried to make it simple yet funny.”

Prepare for the work and fights with best friends, but it’ll be worth it and friends will stay friends, Kauffman says.

Miller says to make the campaign video as funny as possible and make the message clear.

According to Dreibelbis, giving out food and cross-dressing was a strategy that they used in order for students to vote for them. They even had Dreibelbis in a dress for a vid-eo, Kauffman says.

But making videos isn’t all that the Booster Club will have on their shoulders.

“A lot of kids don’t know how much work it is,” Dreibelbis said. “You think it’s just about going to football games, basketball games and making videos, but it’s actually a lot of work.”

The work will consist of planning pep ses-sions, setting up for basketball and football games, hanging up posters, making videos, making sure as many students as possible at-tend the events and raise money for the school, according to the boys.

This year, the four had to stay at school until 9 or even 10 o’clock at night with all of their work, and Miller says that he has hung up over 3,000 posters.

It had been so much work, in fact, that Kauff-man had to choose between booster club and wrestling. He went with wrestling, and though he discontinued booster club, he still hung out with his friends.

The four agree that what they will miss most is each other, but are they glad to have had the opportunity to spend time as best friends to-gether before leaving high school.

“It’s a good way to bond with your friends,” Candler said. “You have some fights, you have some laughs. In all, it’s hard, but it’s worth it.”

The 2013 booster club members look back and give advice to future runners

by Aygul TereshkinaReporter

For seniors Gabe Dreibelbis, Charlie Miller, David Candler and Casey Kauffman, this year in the booster club office did not turn out as they planned. In the middle of the school year, one of the members had to leave the club.

Kauffman was involved with wrestling for a long time, and when he was running for booster club last year he did not expect that the two activities would interfere with each other. But when the wrestling season came, he couldn’t manage to do both at the same time.

“If I had time, I would love to be able do both, but I really had to choose either wrestling or booster club,” Kauffman said.

Because of wrestling, Kauffman had to miss booster club’s meetings, and one day he made up his mind and decided to only do wrestling. It happened when he skipped an important meeting, according to physics teacher Mrs. Stacey Matlock.

English teacher Mr. Sam Hanley, and Mat-lock talked to wrestling coach, Mr. David Wal-pole, who agreed to let Kauffman go to a meeting. But the decision was made and Kauffman didn’t skip his wrestling practice.

“We made a commitment to him and he made a commitment to us,” Matlock said. “I was surprised that he chose not to fulfill the rest of his office the rest of the year.”

After Kauffman didn’t show up to the meet-ing, Miller, Candler and Dreibelbis found out that they had to manage the booster club only by themselves.

However, leaving the booster club didn’t change the relationship Kauffman had with the other members and his teachers, but the booster club lost a part of the spirit, according to Matlock. The responsibilities Kauffman had, such as editing videos, fell on the shoulders of other members. But according to Kauffman, they understood the situation and all of them are still best friends.

“They (Miller, Candler and Dreibelbis) were disappointed,” Kauffman said. “I think they still wanted me in the group, but they understood.”

A member leaving the booster club hap-pened two years in a row, and Matlock doesn’t want it to happen with the next booster club. Because of this, groups who are running for this position should keep in mind that this com-mitment is made for a year.

“You run as a group,” Matlock said. “There’s four of you, and when one of them leave, you kind of lose that spirit.”

Busy schedule makes for

tough choice

Lone candidates claim confidence

by Julia WeberReporter

“How much would you like to come to a bas-ketball game and have it be Disney night?” said booster club hopeful, junior Grant Alexander.

Alexander, a member of lone-running 2013-14 booster club, Team Kush, is already brain-storming ideas for themed nights at school events next school year.

Team Kush, named after one of its members and co-president, junior Kush Parikshak, be-lieves that his group is still a prestigious group running for booster club, even though they have no other running competitors.

Team Kush consists of four members. The group compares themselves to The Avengers, Alexander says, and finds himself comparable to the infamous Iron Man. Captain America would be Parikshak, because he was the found-er of Team Kush. Leaving juniors Noah Maxwell and Jacob Farrow as the Black Widow and the Incredible Hulk.

Since freshman year, the group has attended almost all of the basketball and football games, which allows them to believe that they can bring back the spirit to the games, and even the audience.

“We’d do anything for Southport, really,”

Parikshak said. “Ever since freshman year we saw what all the videos and what the booster club did for our school, and freshman year we decided we wanted to do that our senior year.”

The members of Team Kush explained that they have some extraordinary ideas for next school year. The group claims that their ideas are anything but the usual themes that you may see at any normal football or basketball game and are highly top-secret. However, the group isn’t planning to abandon all of the original ideas and plan to keep traditions like senior night alive.

“We each think outside the box,” Parikshak said.Team Kush believes that they have what

it takes to be the next booster club, and that they deserve it. At the meeting for booster club groups wanting to run, Team Kush was the only group to show.

The group believes that they are more than prepared for becoming Southport’s booster club for the 2013-14 school year. Although no other groups are running against them, the members of Team Kush still plan on running a full campaign and putting forth all of their effort to meet the requirements. According to Farrow, the members are always coming up with new ideas.

“We plan on hanging a lot of flyers and com-ing up with cool video ideas,” Farrow said.

Regardless of how they campaign and cre-ate new ideas, Team Kush claims to be ready for the job.

“We [can] get the job done,” Alexander said. “We’re not in this for us, we’re in this for everyone.”

Although there is only one group running for booster club, members are still working hard

Getting into the perfect

collegeby Moira McKinneyReporter

In 1937, only 15 percent of high school graduates continued their education through college. Today, nearly 60 percent of all jobs in the United States require higher education. In America, schools, the economy and society put an early warning in students’ heads to go through post-secondary education.

According to Southport High School’s guidance director Mrs. Julie Fierce, students should come into high school at least think-ing about whether or not college will be fit for them. Freshmen and sophomores should be looking around and showing interest in colleges to visit during their junior year and eventually apply for their senior year.

With all the colleges in the world, looking for the right one can be intimidating and stressful. However, with the help of college advisors and school counselors, finding the right college can be easier. High school provides an opportuni-ty for students to start thinking about college and planning out their career goals for future success in life.

“The biggest prob-lem is the unknown, (which is) a very pow-erful thing, because a lot of times people kind of tend to sit and not do anything,” Fierce said. “You’re not going to know all these answers unless you go out and look for them.”

Ms. Louisa Montecalvo is a certified college- planning specialist with over a decade of ex-perience in college planning for students. She looks at students’ high school academics and advises them on what they should be taking. She also finds out their interests of studies in college and has them take personality assess-ments. This helps students compile a list of col-

leges based on interests, majors, abilities and their academic standing.

Montecalvo and Fierce both think the hard-est part for students is not knowing what they want to study, and the answer for that is career inventory surveys. The surveys ask questions to find out what a student is good or not good at, what they do and don’t like and put it all together to figure out what that student might be interested in. They can guide students into looking into a certain field and show what col-leges may best apply.

“There’s a hundred current inventories stu-dents can take,” Fierce said. “By sophomore year you should’ve taken two or three of them and be looking at schools.”

Students can take advantage of finding out more about colleges all over the nation with the help of the internet. Fierce says this is the best way to learn about colleges. Many colleges post their information online where students may

take virtual tours, learn about the school and contact professors to re-ceive more information.

Fierce says students should really be getting face-to-face by their ju-nior year and visiting colleges whenever they can. She says no one should go to a college without visiting the cam-pus first. Students can take advantage of col-lege fairs, school visits to campuses or talk to advi-sors like Montecalvo.

Montecalvo’s most stressed piece of advice is for students to take challenging classes and to get help with those classes if needed. She says the most signifi-cant subjects students should get help with if they’re struggling is

in math and English. She says if a student’s English skills are poor, then they will struggle in college, which isn’t an uncommon thing for her to see.

“The best advice I could give is if you’re having problems with (math and English) in particular, get some help and take challenging classes in high school,” Montecalvo said. “You don’t want to be that last application on the college admissions person’s desk, you want to be at the top of the pile.”

Being prepared is the first step in getting ready for a college education

by Jake RoseReporter

Between public and private secondary school-ing, tangible characteristics lie with cost and size. Students have to choose private or public education when deciding what college to attend.

Both Kayla Chappell and Adrienne Wagner attend in-state colleges, and they both had their individual reasons for wanting to go to the col-lege of their choosing.

“I like public institutions because usually they’re a lot larger, and I think they offer a lot more programs and specifics. You can create any major you want to at Indiana University (I.U.).” Wagner, who is a sophomore in college at I.U., and a Southport graduate, said. “Origi-nally, I was going to go to Emerson College, which is in Boston, and they focus only on com-munications. Which is good if you know ex-actly what you want to do, but for people who don’t, I believe public institutions are the best, because they have so many possibilities.”

At a public college one may find them-selves surrounded by upwards of 50,000 stu-

dents, according to collegedata.com. The average price of in-state public colleges is somewhere around $22,261 a year, ac-cording to college-data.com. That price only gets lower with scholarships offered by organizations and individual colleges.

On the other hand, private schools gener-ally offer a much more closely-knit commu-

nity than public colleges, according to Chappell.“I chose Butler mainly for their pharmacy

program, but also, Butler is the perfect size,” freshman in college and also Southport gradu-ate, Chappell said. “It is just small enough so you know a lot of people, but big enough of a school that there are always new people to meet.”

The average student population at Butler University is around 4,000, according to us-news.com. This smaller community of students offers a more intimate college experience, according to Chappell. This smaller campus offers an ideal learn-ing environment for Chappell, which is a main reason why she chose to attend Butler.

Collegedata.com states that “A moder-ate college budget for an in-state pri-vate college for the 2012-2013 academic school year averaged $43,289.”

This price is much higher than the average cost of an in-state public college, but if a stu-dent does well in high school he/she is likely to receive scholarships, which could lower the cost substantially.

Although the costs of private and public col-leges can differ, students can always apply for scholarships. However, according to both Wag-ner and Chappell, the most important aspect of choosing whether to attend a private or public college is what kind of educational atmosphere a student would want.

Southport Alumni explain the differences between public and private universities

Two former Southport students talk about how they choose where to go to college

by Tori UpdikeReporter

College is all about decisions. A student has to decide where to go, what major to choose, what scholarships to apply for, what he/she can afford and whether or not to go at all. It’s definitely a daunting prospect for high school-ers that are considering taking this next step.

One of the biggest decisions on the college choice checklist is where to go. In-state uni-versities offer more scholarships and have the advantage of being close to home. Out-of-state colleges present a change of scenery and may offer different opportunities than are avail-able on the home front. But though a variety of factors such as cost, major and prestige influ-ence a student’s college choice, what a student wants to do after college is typically the main decision-maker regarding location.

“My telecommunications major was pretty integral in my decision to go to Ball State,” said Natalie Ullrich, who is currently in her second year at Ball State University.

Ullrich has been technologically savvy her whole life, and when she was in high school, she always knew she wanted to pursue an education in telecommunica-tions. Later, she made the decision to switch to a double major of telecommunications and French.

“I looked at a few schools that were far-ther away and some of the more local Midwest schools,” Ullrich said,

“and every time I mentioned telecommunications, people said (I) really needed to look at Ball State.”

Ryan Raftery, a freshman at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, took a differ-ent route with his studies. He had wanted to go out of state, but applied to Indiana Univer-sity to follow in his mother’s footsteps. He also appreciated the prestige of I.U. and thought that a degree from I.U. would help him get a job in the future. After he was denied, he got accepted to the Con-servatory and got to follow his passions: music and acting.

“I (ended up) get-ting to do what I real-ly wanted to do,” Raf-tery said. “(But) New York was extreme culture shock for me. I left (Indiana) want-ing to get out of there, but after two months I was homesick.”

Both Raftery and Ullrich wanted to go to college out of state when they were in high school, but Ullrich ended up staying because of the economy and prestige of Ball State University for her particular job se-lection. Raftery left for New York because it was also a better environment for his career choice.

However, both Southport alumni agree that there are benefits to both and intend to travel or continue school elsewhere after their time at their current colleges is up.

“Moving out of state depends on what you want to do career-wise,” Raftery said, “and who you are as a person.”

Last year, Southport pitcher Taylor Lock-wood threw five shut outs. In fact, she gave up just 37 runs the whole year long. And then, she graduated.

This year, the Southport softball team is left with two freshmen having to pitch for the loss of Lockwood. They have given up a total of 35 runs in the first four games.

The softball program is having to make big changes this season. On top of the pitching loss, the girls have also lost hitters as well.

The Southport girls softball assistant coach Ms. Kimberlee Ridner says that they never had to worry about having pitchers in the past four previous sea-sons, consider-ing they have had two good pitchers, Tay-lor Lockwood and Sarah Ow-ens. This sea-son they have brought up two freshman pitch-ers to take most of the load. Ac-cording to Rid-ner, due to the loss of two im-portant players, they are look-ing for these two freshmen to progress into their positions.

“They are do-ing a good job for us,” Ridner said. “But we

definitely have some more things to work on with them.”

Through four games, freshman Brooke Lightfoot has pitched three complete games. Her earned run average is 5.33 and three strike outs. Freshman Haleigh Keen has played one complete game.

Other than the two freshmen, the coaches are expecting a lot out of the two seniors, Grace Clark and Madison Miller.

Clark’s batting average is .333. Miller’s bat-ting average is .360. Clark is a catcher, and Mill-er is the first baseman.

With freshmen trying to fill important po-sitions, the two seniors have more expecta-tions in good leadership and demand control of the team.

“I want to bring a big bat, strong defense and being a vocal leader,” Clark said.

Ridner says that they have a good team whenever they play to their potential, but whenever their heads are not in the game, they won’t be doing as well.

According to Clark, everyone has every-one’s back no matter what. No matter what the score is during their game, the girls keep cheering, everyone keeps their head up and they try and stay positive. According to Clark, nine times out of 10 the girls fight back as a team in beating their opponents.

“Even though it’s definitely something the girls and coaches are not used to having,” Rid-ner said, “it’ll be better in the long run for the future ahead.”

Senior finds new hobby in Mixed Martial Arts

April 19, 2013 Sports6

by Nick HollandReporter

For senior Cody Churchill, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) wasn’t just a hobby. It was some-thing he planned to do for the rest of his life.

He would train every day at Fight Hub Headquarters and work on a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique.

Churchill said he would go every day to continue his training, but after a while the bills started piling up. Churchill could no longer af-ford the high costs of training at the gym.

“It’s something I really wanted to do,” Churchill said. “I’m going to do all that I can so that I can earn enough money to go back and continue my training.”

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a form of self-defense fighting that focuses on leverage and grap-pling techniques. Its philosophy is that the low man wins. So, if a smaller opponent can create enough leverage, then he/she can take down any opponent regardless of size or strength. Also, it focuses on a fighting style of ground-and-pound, in which a fighter takes his/her opponent to the ground, and that’s where the predominance of the fight with this style takes place.

Churchill would lift, run and train in certain techniques of this fighting style so he could be able to create the leverage necessary and be able to identify and counter other fighter’s moves so he could be a successful fighter. Ev-ery day with his uncle Mr. Jeff Spencer and the various trainers at the Fight Hub, Churchill would do just that. But, Churchill was very dis-appointed when his dream of training and be-coming an MMA fighter was cut short due to his financial problem, but Churchill hopes he can continue to work and obtain a job so he can make enough money to continue training.

Churchill said he never would have started training if it weren’t for Spencer. He said that his uncle just came up to him after they had watched an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event.

“We’ve watched (MMA) together forever,” Churchill said. “It was something that both in-terested us, but I don’t think I ever would have taken it to the level we got to if not for him telling me about the gym and all the classes and things we could do to learn.”

Churchill said that overall, his whole ex-perience in training wasn’t all about the fighting. He said that the life lessons and such that the train-ing taught him, out-weighed the overall physical and self-de-fense benefits.

“It taught me how to control myself,” Churchill said. “It helped me control my anger and learn not to take it out on other people and find anoth-er way to release it that was less destructive. Also, it helped me gain a new-found respect for other people and what problems they could be going through that you might not always be able to see.”

Clingerman, who Churchill worked with consistently when he went to train, believes that Churchill was always hard-working throughout his training time when he was at the gym.

“Everyone works hard when they are here,” Clingerman said. “(Churchill) focused a lot on the Jiu-Jitsu stuff we offer. I saw him a lot, so I know he was focused and that he enjoyed the

environment we offer here.”Clingerman also said that he noticed when

Churchill stopped coming and he said he never knew why, but he said that he hopes Churchill is successful in his efforts to earn enough money to finance himself and enroll into the $150 dollar a month classes offered that are considered to have some of the best

fighters and trainers in the gym.

Churchill says that if he does ever make it back to train, he and Spencer are going to enroll in classes together so that they can practice the techniques with each other, but they also hope to train with the others in the class so they can learn from the already experienced fighters there.

Spencer is hopeful that he and Churchill can return to the gym and resume their training further.

“I’m very confident in (Churchill),” Spencer said. “I know that he will be able to get done what he needs so that he can get back to doing what he loves. I’ll be there for him every step of

the way, too.”Churchill’s main focus is to look for a job

right now so that he can start to save up enough money to enroll back into the school following the advanced summer session of the training program.

He hopes that all his work isn’t for nothing, too. Churchill said that his whole experience with MMA has been an integral part of his life and that it has taught him many life lessons and helped him better understand his life. He hopes that MMA will continue to be that source of life experience for years to come.

Mixed Martial Arts becomes passion for student and battles to overcome obstacles

1st and 10 with Taylor DeHartDespite the bad start to April, don’t count the Pacers out

The Pacers are the second best defensive team in the game. They have completely re-built the organization to make sure that de-fense is the priority. Being the number one defensive team in the league for well over half of the season, despite recent struggles, the east’s third seed, the Indiana Pacers have been overlooked.

For Gods sake: Give the Pacers some credit, ESPN. ESPN took a Thunder vs. Pacer game off the air to show a Miami vs. Char-lotte game, which LeBron and Wade didn’t even play in. Nobody has given them a chance all year. Every time they play a na-tionally-televised game, or any game against a higher seed in the east or any decent team in the west, they never get any credit if they win. It is always the wrong-doing of the opposing teams “historic collapse.” Flip on Sportscenter and I guarantee you will find an analyst saying how terrible the other team played. Even ESPN analyst Chris Broussard went on record saying that the Pacers would have trouble making the playoffs in the West. That’s crazy. The Pacers would still be the sixth seed in west with the same record.

A team who is never given credit has the third best record in the Eastern Conference, as of Tuesday. Let alone, the hunger of this team to earn some respect throughout the league alone will be a huge factor in making a memorable run into the playoffs.

It seems as if the only player to get any recognition in the media is Paul George, and even that coverage happens every once in a blue moon. But one person to recognize his raw ability is former Pacer great and TNT NBA analyst Reggie Miller.

“He’s becoming the face of the franchise,” Miller said. “Paul George should be one of those East reserves. What a lot of people underestimate about Paul George is his abil-ity to rebound the basketball. So long at that shooting guard/small forward position. This kid has so much athleticism. Not only can he stretch the floor, he can put the ball on the deck and get to the rim.”

Going off that, the team has a lot more promise than just George, who nobody gives credit to.

First, hometown boy George Hill has been playing while battling injuries and has man-

aged to really control the team while healthy. Hill is averaging 14.2 points per game and nearly five assists per game. Or maybe the critics can think about last years all-star big man Roy Hibbert who has had a resurgent second half.

But no, no coverage is given. The latest NBA story on ESPN continues to be what LeBron had for lunch on game day or what the 7th seed Boston Celtics are set up to do the next day. Honestly, who cares?

And I think that the lack of coverage has set up an ideal situation for the organization. Being the underdog has suited them well this year. Against the Heat, the team went 2-1, and against the Knicks the Pacers went 2-2. They have built a strangely unnoticed resume that would draw attention if they played in a big market. The fact that the Pacers are the best rebounding team in the league helps out as well.

Yes, I know the common fan would say that the team has been playing very poor lately. But, there are some bright spots that allow me to think that they will go deep in the playoffs.

First, the team played the Knicks and only allowed 90 points, which is around the season average allowed by Indiana. This tells us that they are getting their defense back. Secondly, the team’s lack of coverage is causing for a run that will surprise everyone, which they have done all year.

So to the national media: Keep counting them out and keep thinking they aren’t good enough. Because just before your eyes, you’ll see them playing in the Eastern Confer-ence Finals.

This generation’s king of pop has made his way back to the music scene. After his long musical hiatus, where

the star focused on his acting career, Justin Timberlake has returned with a perfect vision.

“The 20/20 Ex-perience” is a good album. I’ve never known Justin Tim-berlake to disap-point, musically of course, and this al-bum truly reflects his ability. The al-bum is almost like a symphony, with each song molding almost flawlessly with the others. The sounds of the album are all significantly similar, but eas-ily distinguishable. Timberlake does a great job of giving each song its own specific sound and style, but staying with a common theme.

The style of the album seems to be a throw-back to the ‘60s, with most songs including trumpets and calm-jazz-like tones. Songs like “Suit & Tie,” “Mirrors,” “Tunnel Vision” and “Pusher Love girl” really stand out and make this album great. Each song has meaningful lyrics that really show how much Timberlake understands the musical industry and are guar-anteed to be stuck in your head for days.

However, some songs seem to carry on much

longer than they should. I’m not kidding when I say that more than half the songs on the album are more than six minutes long, which is ridicu-lous considering that most songs are around two or three minutes. I found myself skipping songs at the half-way point simply because I was bored and wanted to listen to something else.

The theme of the album isn’t about see-ing things, which one might expect after see-ing the title. Timberlake sticks to his guns and

sings mostly about love and other elicit activities. Now, this isn’t exactly a prob-lem, but the lack of diversity is defi-nitely holding the album back. It got to the point where I thought even a song about him walking his dog for comedic relief would have been nice.

All in all, “The 20/20 Experience” doesn’t disappoint and has brought forth songs and styles that are sure

to be remembered and revered for years to come. I know that I, and many others, will be anxiously awaiting the release of the second part of the album, scheduled to come out later this year in November.

“The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist.”

This quote is taken from the fictional book “Barriers to Trans-Dimensional Travel” by R. Lutece, and not a single line from the video-game could have summed up the experience that is “Bioshock Infinite” so perfectly.

The year is 1912, and you are Booker De-Witt, a private eye who has been hired to find a 17-year-old girl named Elizabeth. When the game opens, you are in a rowboat making its way along the coast of Maine. After you are dropped at a shady lighthouse, you are prompt-ed to explore the stormy little island on your own. As you make your way up the spiral stair-case, you are given a look into just what kind of game “Bioshock Infinite” will be.

The game eases you into the controls slow-ly, not even putting a gun into the hands of Booker until about thirty minutes in. It’s a great method for players who are new to the “Bioshock” games or even first-person shoot-ers (FPS) in general.

Nevertheless, when the game begins to pick up, the action and opponents come as fast as you can handle them. You go from being a sim-ple bystander on the streets of the floating city of Columbia to a gun-wielding vigilante known as the False Shepherd.

How does this happen, you may ask? It’s through a series of quick-thinking,

timed choices you make in the game that de-termine your fate.

These choices that are spread throughout the game don’t affect the ending of the game,

but there is some sat-isfaction in having the ability to have even a small say in what Booker goes through. For example, there is a sequence where Elizabeth holds up two brooches, one with a bird and the other bearing a cage. Even though this is a minor decision, whichever brooch you choose is the one she will don for the rest of the game.

One of the qualities of “Bioshock Infinite” that really made me cringe was how the game handled using guns. However, one of the fea-tures that really takes away from the game is that Booker can only carry two guns at once. So, unless you’re a jack-of-all-trades, you’re go-ing to be switching out guns a lot. You can carry ammo for every gun, but the clips are small and ammo runs out fast when you’re surrounded by a barrage of mechanical George Washingtons.

The plot was the one overwhelming factor that redeemed everything the game had done wrong. The script was gripping and the char-acters were engaging. The plotline itself was believably unbelievable. It stayed easy to un-derstand throughout the majority of the game, but dropped critical pieces of information in the form of “Voxophones” and commentary that seemed menial at the time.

Then the ending came. The depth of the

ending was difficult to comprehend as it played across the screen in little cut-scenes, but it was an ending that stayed in the mind of players until several days later, when every-thing clicked into place.

If I could give you one reason to play “Bio-shock Infinite,” it would be for the absolutely phenomenal ending.

“Bioshock Infinite” is definitely one of the best FPS games I have ever played. I applaud Irrational Games and 2K Games for coming up with such an amazing FPS game, and I look forward to getting my hands on the first two games in the “Bioshock” series.

The new ‘Bioshock’ is infinitely fun to play

by Breanna BierodReporter

Have you ever been on the Ellen Degeneres ride at Dis-ney? There are animatronic dinosaurs leaning down and

“nearly” grabbing you with their locked jaws. Ev-ery now and again some water squirts out and hits you in the eye, leaving you confused. Now imagine going 60 miles an hour through with abominations and demons instead of dinosaurs and acid instead of water and on your way out they chase you with knives while the insane echo of demonic laughter pierces your brain and you stare in shock at your open, festering wounds. That’s about what “Evil Dead” was like.

Following the basic outline of its 1981 pre-decessor, “Evil Dead” takes place at a cabin in the middle of the woods. This time a girl named Mia, her brother and her three friends are holed up in the cabin for the summer so there’s nowhere to run. After some exploration in the cellar, the 5 twenty-somethings discover the Book of the Dead/Evil and other questionable artifacts. When the idiot of the group reads a few passages next to the warnings written in blood, Mia unexpectedly becomes completely possessed. To save his sister and his friends, he must cleanse her. The only way is death.

The Evil Dead is a crazy movie that is sin-fully funny while still making you cringe. Ev-ery moment is packed with gratuitous amounts

of gore, but it’s so unbelievable and extreme you can’t help but laugh, and I think that is in-tended. Why else would they have a girl shoot someone in the arm, scream at the top of her lungs and then projectile vomit all over her friend? It wasn’t to scare anyone, but it sure made for some laughter.

The 1981 “Evil Dead” had a serious tone and often the characters’ were in silent horror as they fought for their lives against an insidious, unknown enemy. It was impossible to tell when someone was going to snap or what on earth would happen to them next. The possessed would go from stabbing someone in the leg with a pencil, to begging for him to help and

stop hurting them to bit-ing him in the leg.

2013’s “Evil Dead” takes the sheer insan-ity and gory horror of the originals and com-pletely sets its own tone. This one, despite the im-mense violence, is fun, wild and unpredictable. The possessed have a lot of wild one-liners and there are tons of did-that-really-just-happen moments.

While the new “Evil Dead” shouldn’t be considered a remake of the old, it is a pleasant tribute to the classic low-bud-get masterpiece and can be enjoyed as a wild ride all of its own.

America needs to clean up its image

Everyone has heard about North Korea. About how North Korea pretty much had a break with reality and just decided that they wanted to bomb western civilization. Yes, western civilization, namely their more de-veloped and more tech-savvy neighbors of South Korea and Japan. Well, the good news is, Indiana is pretty much directly opposite of North Korea, so I don’t think we have much of a chance of getting hit. Rest easy in your beds tonight. However, any Samsung or PlayStation orders might have to be put on hold, because a fat little man hit the launch button.

Now, I know that the probability of North Ko-rea actually getting the guts to do something is slim to none. I mean, there is no tactical value in going against immensely influential and de-veloped countries with powerful allies, unless you want a long, bloody war, which will most likely end up in defeat for the attacking country.

Even though I know this, a question nagged me. Why does America seem to be hated so much?According to the New York Times, because of

the “evermore undisguised hostile actions of the United States” and South Korea, war is coming to the Korean peninsula. Now, why was America mentioned in a statement about war in the Korean peninsula? Also, not to mention the several ter-rorist groups among the countries of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan that sometimes scream “Death to America!” America has be-come so disliked, in fact, even our allies sometimes desert us. I mean, just look at the pleth-ora of invasions, conflicts and wars of America’s past.

I know I sound anti-Amer-ican, but I’m not. I really do think this a good country. But, we could be great. And I believe our downfall lies within the decisions of foreign policy. America rushes into conflicts that we shouldn’t be in. We were at one time involved in three wars at one time all in the same region, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan and the war in North-West Pakistan. Even now, two are still continuing.

America has got to learn that we are not the police of the world.

We have to understand that other countries don’t like us, because we are stereotyped as loud, demanding, oppressive and stupid. What have we done to prove this wrong? Mississippi ratified the abolishment of slavery... this year. How long has the 13th amendment existed? Oh yeah, right, 148 years. They were just a little behind.

If America wants to view themselves as a huge world power, then we need to act like one.

Maybe we should think before we act. Countless times Americans are criti-cized about policy or actions. We are sometimes viewed as jokes to the rest of the world.

I mean, we have some of the highest teenage

pregnancy rates out of the Westernized world. How does that make us look? It makes us seem like we have a lot of teen mothers running around everywhere. Oh, and let’s not forget our large percentage of Americans that have diabetes and heart disease. According to the World Health Organization, we only have a measly 17 million people with dia-betes (as of 2000, I am sure that number has

risen in recent years). I mean, sure we are beat-en by China and India, but remember that they also have a larger population than us.

All of these statistics just reinforce the image that America is a fat, backwards country. That we have nothing better here than farmland and guns, and that’s not true. America is a nation of opportunity. We are the nation of the American Dream and the generation of the self-made mil-lionaires. We have made so many advances in science and technology. I mean, we made Face-book, Google+, Twitter and Instagram.

These social networks might seem stupid to many, but they create a doorway to anywhere in the world. There has never been a place any-where else where anyone could connect with literally anyone around the world. Though America has been the notorious abusers of such technology... Regardless, this technology and connection happened because of American in-novators. And yes, they have drawbacks and are misused, but they are the essence of the beginning of the new technology revolution. Know that we started that.

America, why don’t we focus on these great inventors and invest in our domestic future. How about before we go running into other people’s problems, we try and fix our own. We need to fix ourselves before we can hope to fix everyone else. That seems more like YOUR PROBLEM.

“Can’t you tell I don’t care?”

Information travels at an alarming rate compared to 15 years ago. We humans no longer have to rely on carrier pigeons, horseback or word of mouth to relay news. Today we have a source where information of all kinds is shared. The internet is a vital part of the new world, and the freedom guaranteed with it is in danger.

The internet quickly became a big player in the free world as social media and online news sources sky-rocketed in popularity. This caused governments like China and Cuba to censor it by blocking access to specific websites that they considered detrimental to their society. This censorship successfully blinds these nations’ people from the wrong-doings of their government or even the world outside their homes. Even here in the good old USA our internet is in danger of censorship. However, the most prominent danger to internet freedom comes to us in the form of bills being passed to end online piracy.

Bills like the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) or the Protect IP Act (PIPA) all have the chivalrous goal of protecting the money of businesses by stopping the illegal downloading of digital items. But, just like any bill that gets passed through our government, these bills have vicious little additives that can make or break the future of the internet and the free world.

These bills hoped to block infringing websites from advertisement, appearing in search engines and visibility in web browsers.

However, the bills did not provide sufficient protection for user-generated content on the internet, and entire websites could be taken down without due process fairly easily by the government. According to Google policy director Bob Boorstin, websites like Youtube, Reddit and Tumblr would go dark immediately.

The reason all of this is important is because the internet is a place to share. It’s a place where anyone can state their opinions and beliefs. It’s like a digital Socratic Circle, except it’s the biggest Socratic Circle to ever exist. Everything and anything can be seen by everything and everyone, everywhere. How can anyone try to censor something that is available to everyone, including people outside their legal jurisdiction, people who live by a different set of rules?

The internet isn’t just for sharing anymore though. The internet is a battle-ground for popularity. It’s become a place for people who

are being oppressed by their government to discover what’s really happening in the world.

Organizations like Digital Democracy work with people to educate them on how to use basic tools, digital literacy and digital governance. People have even gone

so far as to use social media to communicate and plan attacks for revolutions, which we saw during Arab Spring last year.

Censorship for the internet is sure to be a hot topic on the minds of the endless online community gathered under the umbrella that is the internet. However, by being aware and involved in government and politics, the American public is sure to continue to protect this great resource.

The freedom of sharing information is the key ingredient in the progression of the human race. The spreading of ideas, even unpopular ones, are vital for the continuation of the human race. Bringing things to light is the only way to have them acted upon, and this is one of the best ways to do it.

“Shout out to my girl T-Swift.”

I’ve been to some of the most traveled places on the earth. The first places I ever traveled to were France, Germany and Austria. I’ve been on the Audubon, the top of the Eiffel Tower and seen Notre Dame. And those were the first vacations I ever took.

Pretty amazing, right?Not so much. I took them as an infant. I’d

like to say that the sights were amazing, but I was too busy teething and crying to really notice. But though I didn’t get to actually experience those vacations, they still make for great bragging rights! Not to mention, the stories of those trips inspired my sense of adventure and desire to travel.

I like to think that I’m an experienced traveler. The trips of my babyhood notwithstanding, I actually have been to other cool places (though the Eiffel Tower has yet to be beat). Throughout my life, I have been to seven states and five countries. That right there is more than most of my friends have travelled in their entire lives. However, in reality, I really only travel to a lot of the same places over and over again, namely our family summer vacations to Maine.

I didn’t realize this until I went to Chicago last spring break with my family. The city was so huge, and I wasn’t used to it. We got lost so many times, and we could barely get back to the hotel. Most of the places we had really wanted to see were about to close by the time we finally made it, and everyone was so hustle and bustle. It was a big change from Indiana, and I had to eat a lot of crow about my travel experiences.

But by the end of the trip, I had figured out how to navigate a map, instead of relying on our GPS system. I got more street savvy and felt more comfortable with the twisted traffic system and the long roads with nowhere to

turn off that came with it. By the end of the trip, I felt so much more independent than I had when we got there.

Travel, whether in-state, out-of-state or international, is an unforgettable experience no matter why you’re going. I have never met anyone who regretted it.

But it isn’t just a cool memory to have. Traveling gives so many wonderful benefits, like the ones I developed in Chicago. According to diversityabroad.com, some of the benefits that can be reaped from travelling to foreign countries include increased self-confidence, independence and adaptability. Being put in new situations where one has to think and solve problems contributes to intellectual maturity, and going global increases cultural awareness. These benefits are some of the reasons that many schools take educational trips to places all over the world. Everyone gets something out of it.

Trekking around the world also gives students an edge in the vocation world. Knowing how to navigate unfamiliar areas, being comfortable in airports and having knowledge about other cultures all help people stand out in a sea of less-worldly competitors. Also, people who travel are more likely to know a foreign language, and according to the Washington State University Language Department’s website, people who know another language tend to make more money and are promoted more often than their monolingual counterparts.

For me, traveling stimulates my taste for adventure, gives me confidence and has made me more globally aware. My wanderlust has taken me to incredible places, and this summer Spain will be one of them. I will be participating in a total immersion program in Spain to learn Spanish fluently, and even though it will take my whole summer, I can’t wait to start on the journey.

At first, I wasn’t too keen to leave behind everything I know to become fluent in a language. But the knowledge that I will never regret it has pushed me forward. Traveling isn’t always easy, but I can’t imagine living without the option of seeing new places and making new friends.

If travel has taught me anything, it’s to not let any chances pass you by. Sometimes opportunities only knock once, and when they do, take a leap of faith. It just might be worth it.

Internet freedom important for advancement

The spreading of ideas, even the unpopular ones, are vital for the continuation

of the human race.

“ “{AmericanSTEREOTYPE}

“The typical American is very rude, often putting his feet on a desk or table and

frequently belching in public. He yawns a lot, never trying to hide it. In international

affairs as in personal life, Americans do whatever they want and don’t care what

other people think.”

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair...”

This time, we aren’t talking about the French Revolution. Instead, we are talking about a group of people who are now facing the best of times and the worst of times.

We, as women, are now in the winter of despair and the epoch of incredulity.

According to the Council of Size and Weight Discrimination, 80 percent of 10-year-old girls have dieted. 90 percent of high-school junior and senior women diet regularly. Young girls are more afraid of becoming fat than they are of nuclear war, cancer or losing their parents.

This number is large, and the self-esteem hits don’t stop there.

According to dosomething.org, over 70 per-cent of girls age 15 to 17 avoid normal daily activities, such as attending school, when they feel bad about their looks.

And if that isn’t enough, according to dosomething.org, approximately 91 percent of women are unhappy with their bodies and resort to dieting to achieve their ideal body shape. Only 5 percent of women naturally possess the body type often portrayed by Americans in the media.

But, self-esteem issues are nothing new to the world. My grandmother, who is now 85, never thought of herself as pretty, and she had no media outlets such as T.V. showing her skinny women in scantily-clad undergarments selling her the sexiest new bra and Photoshop wasn’t even invented yet. But now with the average teenager taking part in ten hours and 45 minutes of media each and every day, the media plays a crucial role in body image and women empowerment, or lack thereof.

Media is a large source of everything we do today. Women with large amounts of cleav-age showing and men hitting on beautiful women, racking up their “count” (you know what I mean) dominate the airwaves during prime time. Music that degrades women with

lyrics that are littered with words used to degrade and dominate over a woman during these songs are widespread, and the romantic comedies on the silver screen showing women fighting and doing crazy things for the “man of their dreams” are some of the most popular movies out there.

Where media such as this rules the roost, so to speak, where do we as women find the strength to rise above the pulls of sexualiza-tion, low self-worth and ignorance shown each and every day in popular culture?

The answer lies in the spring of light, the season of hope that we are experiencing as well.

Now is an amazing time to be a woman. We have such opportunities that were never even dreamed of 100 years ago. We may vote, run for political office, be stay-at-home moms or become CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies if we wish. We have the opportunity to choose who we want to be, and be proud of that choice.

All of these opportunities are right here, and there are many women of both the past and present who have fought to give us these opportunities. They are beacons of hope and light in the storm of media objectifi-cation, low self-worth and sexualization of young women today.

These amazing women include suf-fragette Susan B. Anthony, former first lady and activist Eleanor Roosevelt, civil rights leader Rosa Parks, feminist move-ment leader Gloria Steinem, supreme court justice Sandra Day O’Connor, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, former sec-retary of state Condoleezza Rice and the late political leader and Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher to name a few.

These women have helped pave the way for other women to be strong and amazing individuals, and we owe it to these women to not let their efforts go to waste. We must take full advan-tage of the freedoms and opportunities we are granted because of their bravery and strength.

We are born to be great. We are born to be strong. We are born to be respect-ed... but we have to choose to do so.

This choice seems to be an easy one to make, but it’s a hard choice to stick to. It isn’t easy to rise above the burdens of the media. But, there is a way to do this.

Find positive role models. The women I stated before are all positive role models. These women who changed history are the best ones to look up to, and their stories, legacies and experiences are those that will get you through when times are tough. The more strong women that you see, the stronger you will become.

Monitor your media intake, and if that isn’t feasible, take it at face value. Media is the outlet for almost everything we do, and degradation of women is bound to happen. But you can make the decision to choose to watch shows and movies that empower women, not break them down. You can make the decision to understand that the idea of a woman on T.V., more times than not, is unrealistic and that these women do not speak for who you are.

Speak up and act out. Don’t sell yourself short. It is so important for strong women to speak their minds in intelligent and pas-

sionate conversation. We make up 51 per-cent of the population, and your ideas deserve to be heard. It is so important

for us to get involved in empowering programs and make our voices

heard, because without these voices, we lose half of the

population’s input. That is a loss for not only your-self, but for everyone.

Know that you are more than an object. You are

beautiful, and you have worth in what’s in your mind and your power, not in your ability to be a sexual object. You will do great things, so do not let yourself be

disrespected.Take advantage of this beautiful

season of hope. Do not sell yourself out to the age of foolishness and the season of darkness. The fight to be a woman is not an easy one, and it never will be. But hope is there and so are op-

portunities to be amazing. All it takes is the drive and dedication to become the woman you are meant to be.

A tale of two sexes: the fight to be a strong womanThrough {Rose} colored glasses

Students at Southport do a fantastic job of adjusting to change when it is asked of them. Construction, student parking, dress codes and now a daily schedule change is in place for next year.

In the 2013-14 school year, Southport will be converting to a modified-block schedule on a three-day rotation.

The Journal staff believes that next year’s modified-block schedule may take some get-ting used to, but once students are comfort-able with the three-day rotation it will be effective in the future.

There are not many schools in Indiana that have a three-day rotation. However, the few that do, such as Avon High School,

have been successful. We feel students will really enjoy the schedule because they will occasionally get more than one night to get their homework done. On the other hand, we think teachers will find the schedule ef-fective because they will have longer class periods with the students.

Another benefit for both students and teachers is the iPass period. The iPass pe-riod is once every three days, and the entire school will have time to get extra academic help. This will help students with make-up work from being absent, and it will espe-cially help students who are unable to stay after school.

The modified-block schedule is built to

give students and teachers more time in class while giving students the same credit opportunities as the traditional eight-period day. There will not be any budget issues with the new three-day rotation because the mod-ified-block will not require any additional staff members.

Though this new schedule will definitely take some getting used to, the Journal staff is confident in the student body to make the best of this change. We believe that the new schedule will be beneficial to students, and that as long as each student takes full advan-tage of this opportunity, the schedule will ultimately be a good change for Southport High School.

New schedule for next year will be beneficial to students{journalADDRESS}

- There once was a senior tradition called the Mini 500. Everyone participated, according to Schene, regardless of what they were interested in or who they hung out with.- Before Perry Meridian opened, there were three to a locker due to overcrowding. The freshman weren’t even in the building. They were over at PTEC.- Bockelman had a “borderline obsession” with the Beastie Boys.- While Jones and Bockelman were at Southport, there was a zero-tolerance policy regarding cussing.- Jones’ two biggest regrets from high school are being selfish and only looking at issues from his perspective, along with not giving his absolute best effort at all times as a student, athlete and - most importantly - as a person.- When Schene was at Southport, students were only allowed to get up and throw things away during the last five minutes of lunch before the bell rang.- Jones and Bockelman were on the baseball team together.- When Mr. Miner was student at Southport, the Vietnam draft was terminated.
