State/Local The University of Kansas announced Thursday, Oct. 18, that it would receive a $1.5 million grant to hire leaders for its School of Public Health. The grant came from the Kan-sas Health Foundation, a private Wichita-based organization. Two years ago, the Kansas Board of Regents authorized the university’s plan for the public heath school, which will help in the collaboration of research, education and service among the many colleges and universities coordinated by the board. KU currently offers the Master of Public Health at campuses in Kansas City and Wichita, but the grant will allow this degree to be available in Lawrence, Salina and Overland Park as well.

National Three people were killed and four injured in a shooting at Azana Day Spa in Brookfield, Wisconsin early Sunday, Oct. 21. A shopping center, a country club and a hospital were locked down following the shooting as authorities searched for the shooter. A suspect, Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, was later found dead after shooting himself. Haughton had a restraining order issued against him for domestic abuse earlier in the month, and authorities suspect the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute. An explosive device was also found at the spa but was never detonated. This was the second shooting in three months in Wisconsin. The first involved a veteran who killed himself and six people and injured three more at a Sikh temple in August.

International One year after the capture and killing of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, Libya is still in turmoil. Bani Walid is one of few cities still resisting the country’s new leadership after the death of the dictator. Therefore, massive fighting has been taking place there off and on for the last year. This round of fighting began when pro-government militia attacked the town and blamed citizens for the death of an anti-Gadhafi rebel. Demonstrators gathered in front of parliament in Tripoli to protest this fighting, saying it endangers only civilians. Pro-government soldiers fired in the air above the protesters in an effortto dissolve the crowd, which was eventually scattered.

The winners of this year’s fall Homecoming were Niki Hays and Ryan Howerton. “I guess it just feels really good knowing that prople actually like me that much,” Howerton said.

“When I first heard my name I was really shocked, and surprised, and nervous, and excited. I had a bunch of really different emotions really,” Hays said

There are a lot of tra-ditions at Campus. Home-coming hallways. Senior game nights. Pajama Day. Pep rallies. B-hall’s “dress like a creep day.” But there is probably no tradi-tion as revered, no tradi-tion as loved, no tradition so looked forward too by the school’s student body as is the nearly 15 year old tradition of Market Day. Two days out of every year, students at lunch are given the opportunity to pick from a variety of dif-ferent restaurants and fast food places around Wichi-ta all without ever actually leaving the cafeteria. Kids who take the Youth Entre-

preneurs of Kansas, class are the ones who provide the food, but how do they do that exactly? Most kids at Campus understand the basics of YEK. It’s a finance class focused mostly on the entrepreneurship side of business. It isn’t a secret though that most kids who take the class take it in order to participate in Market Day. The general process of Market Day starts with the kids receiving loans from their teacher, Mr. Kleiwar. The loans are based on the individual needs of the students, and senior Gabby Yeager is plan-ning on asking for around $120. Yeager and her partner, senior Audrey Lo, are go-

ing to be contributing an array of Chinese food to this year’s lunch. They’ll be getting chicken from New China Buffet, and they plan on home-cook-ing egg rolls and rice. “The hard part wasn’t really talking to the busi-nesses,” said Yeager. “It was deciding how to price stuff and how much we would need of things.” It’s no secret that high school students aren’t made of money. Market Day vendors not only have to come up with prices that students will pay, they also have to make sure they’re making enough to pay back their initial loans to Kleiwar, as well as enough to make a profit for themselves.

For the family

Have you been to the mov-ie rental store lately and tried to find a decent family movie? I believe it is getting harder and harder to find them. I am an older brother to three kids and frankly some of the materi-al that has come out recently is just not suitable for them, even in the movies geared towards younger audiences. There are many reasons a movie may not be suitable for kids: language, sexual references, and dark themes are among them. I understand that not only do the creators of the movies want to make them appealing to the children watching, they want it to be enjoyable for all ages. But honestly, even in some of the most beloved chil-dren movies of this age, there are scenes that could have been omitted.

In Shrek for example, in the scene where Shrek is saving Fiona from the dragon in the castle, he runs to aide Don-key and when questioned he says, “I have to save my ass.” This is laughable for the older audiences who are old enough to appreciate the joke, but for kids it is just another funny line to repeat. In ParaNorman, a stop-mo-tion children’s movie that just came out recently, it is plain to see terrible sexual references. On a billboard, there is a lady with money in her bosom and countless references to one of the male characters being gay. Not to mention the scene where one of the older male characters comes out of the bathroom wearing only a towel and a girl gets pretty heated. As far dark themes go we are going to have to go to another stop-motion movie: Coraline. Talk about freaky! I

wasn’t too young in 2009, but I can imagine being a really young kid watching a movie where someone sneaks through a secret door in their house, and finds a better version of their life. That would be great. It’s all perfect in a world where your mom bakes cookies and your dad is super fun and exciting. It’s all great until they try to trap you there and never let you see your real parents again and try to get you to sew buttons over your eyes. Talk about nightmares. I believe that parents have the right to let their children watch whatever they feel is suitable for them. I know people who have watched R rated movies before they could walk, and I know people who are forbidden to watch PG-13 movies half of the time due to content. It all depends on how mature a child is.

Author questions friendliness in family movies

Dear Miss Mare,

I’m a senior who still has no idea what I want to do with my life. It seems like all my friends know where they’re going to col-lege and what career they will have. How do I figure out what to do after high school?

-- Clueless

Dear Clueless,

The first thing that everyone must have is a dream,

and I don’t mean while you’re asleep. You have to decide what you like doing, what you’re good at, and what kinds of careers will al-low you to pursue your dreams. Money isn’t everything, so first forget about how much money you will make. The key to success is doing something that you love; the money will usually take care of itself. So ask your-self, “What am I passionate about? What do I love so much that I would do it for free?” Once you have an answer, decide whether you have the skills need-ed to be successful in that area. Then,

decide which spe-cific career within that field you will be the happiest doing for the rest of your life. Lastly, seek the training required to follow that career path. Remember that college is not for everyone. You may be passionate about go-ing into the military, learning a trade, or starting your own business. It may take you longer than some of your peers to figure everything out, but that’s okay. Take your time and consider carefully because you don’t want to rush into a career that you’ll end up hating later.

Dear Miss Mare,

My boyfriend just broke up with me

after two years. What do I do without him?

--Heartbroken

Dear Heartbroken,

It’s hard to give a simple answer with-out knowing the full situation, but here are some things to think about. Con-sider how you feel about him. Do you still want to continue the relationship, or are you just lost now because you were so used to being with him all the time? If you are both still committed to the relationship and only broke up because of a silly fight, talk to him and see if he wants to get back together. If the relationship was going downhill

anyway, maybe it’s best to stay apart. Also consider how he is acting right now. Is he sad and detached, or is he cracking jokes and already with anoth-er girl? He will most likely be miserable if he didn’t really want to break up in the first place, but may seem indiffer-ent if he was tired of the relationship. If you do stay bro-ken up, remember that you can be a strong, confident, successful woman without any man in your life. Maybe he just wasn’t the right guy for you and you’ll end up meet-ing someone better down the road. Just remember that not all lasting relation-ships are built in high school.

In this day and age, nearly everyone in America has ac-cess to the internet through one form of technology or another. For high school students, the amount of time spent in front of a computer screen varies. Sites such as Facebook, Twit-ter, and Youtube are among the most visited. Along with these are sites that cater more towards personal opinions: views on religion, politics, social issues, and various hobbies. But how much time on the internet is too much? Many students arrive at home and hop on the computer - it’s almost a second nature for teenagers. It’s very easy to put off homework in exchange for the magnetic pull of a phone or computer screen. With modern smart-phone technology, the internet is easily accessed at virtually any place – as long as you’ve got the bars. Many students even surf the web at school. As long

as it isn’t impairing the under-standing of the class subject by the phone user or others, this shouldn’t be looked down upon. Communicating with their peers online has become something most teenagers do on a daily basis. Digital com-munication has become a large part of American society, and is still growing. People can talk to one other over incred-ible distances, or across the classroom. So, at what point does the use of the internet and social networking sites begin to negatively impact a student’s academic career, well being, and social life? Many students spend a lot of their day on their cell phones and comput-ers. Some even stay up late at night, attempting to balance homework and online social media. However, there are many positive aspects of these sites. It is believed by some that time spent online pro-motes digital literacy. This is important when determining a person’s future career. It is quite obvious that

social networking is now a part of modern society, connecting people throughout the world. Hundreds of millions of people from all different walks of life share common sites. Social networking is most likely here to stay.

OctOber 2012 entertainment 3

Scars can really make a character dramatic. They show what we’ve been through. Most people can recognize the lightning bolt scar sported by the ever popular wizard, Harry Potter, but there are many not-so-famous characters with scars. Add a jagged scar to a pirate costume to give it a rug-ged look or scratch up almost any outfit to suggest that something awful must have happened to that character. Not all scars are part of a costume. Real people have real scars. Not all scars are from spells gone awry or a traumatic incident involving sharp ob-

jects. In fact, some people look back on the moments that left them with a scar and laugh. “It was actually kind of funny,” junior Cassandra Warden said. “But I cried at the time.” Warden has a scar on her shin after hitting it on a merry-go-round at a park. She had been running around, push-ing few other kids on the ride and hit her shin on the metal when she tried to jump over a puddle. Sometimes something a lit-tle more serious that a scraped shin can happen. Sometimes a doctor has to get involved. Junior Morgan Wegner was four-years-old when a sparkler burned her. She had to take a

trip to the emergency room. Now Wegner sports a small scar just below her eyebrow. Junior Drew Townson had not realized how low the roof of the car was when he when he whacked his head. When Townson fell back and hit the back of his head on the con-crete, he had a pretty decent concussion. Yet, he waited several hours before going to the emergency room. He now has a scar on his head. So while most people do not have major or horrific scars, people still get them. It might not be the most entertaining experience at the time but sometimes people look back at the memory and are somewhat amused by their clumsiness.

Zack Galifinakis, Santa Claus, Hugh Jackman, George Cloo-ney, Chuck Norris, and Jesus Christ are all great men, known to have great facial hair to go with them. For 11 months out of the year, average men are shackled to the razor. Novem-ber is a month to change that. About 12 years ago a couple people in Australia started the tradition of No Shave Novem-ber and ever since then it has spread to all over the world, including here at Campus High School, especially in B hall. “We started doing this about 4 years ago,” social studies

teacher Casey Meier said. “Originally, the social studies department wanted to grow out our moustaches for an entire month, but after a talk with our wives we decided to narrow the moustache time to a single day (April Fool’s Day) and also do No Shave November.” No Shave November, or “Movember” (for moustache November) as it was initially called, has served for more than just a fun month to show off masculinity, It has also been a time to reflect on men’s health issues that are often-times overlooked, such as pros-tate cancer and depression. “Men sometimes think they are too manly to go to the doc-tor,” Meier said.

Some believe that people take it too far, past Novem-ber even. While Meier says it doesn’t surprise him that people would participate, sophomore Melissa Tran believes it is outrageous to have Don’t Shave December, Just Don’t Shave January, Forget to Shave February, etc. “I think they shouldn’t have any of that because it’s just nasty to have it grow out that much,” Tran says. While No Shave November is not a competition around B hall (as of now), they still have fun with it. Excuses like “No shaving means extra time in the morning to free up time for lesson planning” are often used by the teachers to explain it.

But when it gets right down to it Meier said the B hall teachers

just enjoy laughing at each other.

Fun at fall fest

Drawn by Alex McLemore

Drawn by Alex McLemore

Fairytales. We all know them whether we admit to it or not. But by applying a small amount of logic to one of these stories we heard (or watched) as a child, there are actually some rather pertinent ques-tions that come about. Take the story of Snow White for example. Snow White is tricked by the evil queen into eating a poisoned apple. This apple places her into some sort of suspended animation. Presumed dead, she is then placed in a glass coffin in the forest by her friends the dwarfs. Not long after, a clue-less prince happens by her glass coffin. What does the prince do? He removes the coffin’s lid and proceeds to kiss a “dead” girl, right on the mouth. While some may find this to be romantic, it seems as though this prince may have some rather deep-seated issues he should probably discuss with somebody. Another famous fairytale about a girl named Cinderella has its own share of unan-swered questions. In the story, Cinderella wants a chance to dance with the prince. Cinderella’s “fairy godmother” fashioned her a dress made from scraps to wear at the ball. She has until at which point her dress returns to scraps. The two end up dancing together. When the clock strikes mid-

night Cinderella must leave in hurry. In her haste, she leaves behind a single slipper. The prince finds this slipper, and suddenly wants to use the resources of his kingdom to search for the girl whose foot fits this slipper. Not that a king-dom needs those resources or anything. An equivalent to this story is a boy finding a pretty girl’s shoe after Campus prom. This boy then proceeds to call a city wide investigation to find a girl who has approximately the same shoe size. And finally, the instances in the story of Sleeping Beauty are rather illogical as well. When told that his daughter could be killed by the prick of a needle on a spinning wheel he orders that all spinning wheels in the kingdom be destroyed in hopes to destroy the enchanted wheel. If the kingdom exports textiles, this could create significant job loss for his subjects. Why not just keep the princess away from these death traps? So, after examination one can find many situations in these popular children’s tales that don’t quite make sense. However, children are eager to believe. For older generations, the intriguing nature of these stories is lost somewhere along the road of growing up. Gener-ally, at age 7 a child doesn’t apply formal logic to many situations. This probably adds to the mysticism and fascina-tion of fairytales and fables, which are not bad things for adolescents to experience.

The Haysville Fall fest was first held in 1989. It was put to-gether by a group of volunteers from the Lions Club, Optimists Club, Friends of the Library, Chamber of Commerce and members of the general public, all who wanted a celebration in Riggs Park for the fall months. The festival offers many activi-ties, such as a food court, rides, seller booths, and the grand car show. “I rode the rides, walked through the booths, and went to the car show,” said senior Abby Trenkle. The car show has been a main event at the Fall Festival since the begin-ning and has grown every year. In 1999, the Friday night concert was added to the list of events. Big names perform

at the concert each year. This year’s entertainment was Last Chance Rock Band. The Fes-tival tries to bring new things every year. New this year was the com-pany that supplied the rides. The new company came with a higher ticket price, raising it from two dollars and 50 cents to three dollars and 25 cents. “I loved all [the rides],” said Trenkle, “especially the Spider and carousel. The price was definitely worth it.” Other popular rider were the Guitar, Flyin’ High, and the ever-so-loved Tilt-a-Whirl. The Haysville Fall Festi-val has grown in its 28 years, drawing in not only “Haysvil-lians,” but also people from the surrounding communities. As senior Kelly Coleman stated, “I think the Fall Fest gets better every year.

A person eats around 60,000 pounds worth of food during his life which is the equivalent of six

elephants. Incredible!

At every high school in America, there are seniors waiting for the opportunity to join the U.S. Military. Here at Campus, senior Jessie Crawford wishes to join after graduating. He has many reasons for wanting to serve his country. “I come from a family who has been in the Mili-tary,” Crawford said. “My Dad was in the Navy.” He has had not only his Father to look up to for serving, but many who have served in his family. “My Dad, [both] my uncles, and my Grandpa [Father’s side] all served in the Navy; and my Grandpa

on my Mom’s side served in the Army,” Crawford said. “Not really for a reason, it’s just the branch my family has been in.” With every young man and woman who is ready to serve their country, patrio-tism is always a defining trait deep within their personality. Crawford wants to uphold his family’s legacy of patrio-tism. Along, with patriotism, comes motivation. Craw-ford is motivated to join the Armed Forces and perform to the best of his abilities. “[I like] being a part of protecting the freedoms of our country,” Crawford said. Anyone who wants to join up must make the decision of how many years they plan to serve

and what Military Occupa-tional Specialty they wish to have a career in. Crawford has al-ready planned out his career. “I don’t really have a set number of years I plan to serve. Ijust want to go and decide [how many years] if I like it,” Crawford said. “I plan on five years training, as a Corps-man, three years of active duty, so at least eight years.” A Corpsman is an enlisted soldier in the U.S. Navy, who serves either with the Navy or the Marine Corps, who is trained in giving first aid or basic medical treatment; es-pecially in combat situations.

Most students know Jon Melugin as their Spanish teacher in D hall. He is al-ways full of excitement and, luckily, stories. There is the one about his mom getting her foot caught in a public toilet and having to wait for someone to come in to res-cue her, and the one about when he was waterskiing for the first time and attempts to impress a girl. When asked to tell an interesting story, it was hard for to sort through the best ones. He narrowed it down to one about his great aunt. “She used to raise exotic animals,” Melugin said. “Her husband was a very wealthy doctor so for their honeymoon, they went on an African Safari, the ones with cameras, not guns of course.” On the trip, they came

across what seemed to be an abandoned baby gorilla. “They picked up the gorilla and decided to take it back home to New York,” Melugin said. His great aunt raised that gorilla, and if that is not strange enough, she didn’t raise it a pet, she nurtured it like a child. It was never kept in a cage. “When the maids would come in to clean their three story apartment, the little guy would follow them around and help,” Melugin said. One time, Melugin’s aunt came into the kitchen and accidentally hit the gorilla with the other side of the glass door. The gorilla went berserk. “After they separated them, they called the police. [My aunt] ended up having to get 150 stitches. The gorilla was taken to the circus,” Melugin said. 15 years went by and

when the circus came to town, Melugin’s great aunt just had to go and see her beloved gorilla again. One of the animal caretakers in the circus recognized her and took her back to look at him because he wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t eat. He would not be in the show that night. “When she went back there she saw the gorilla, which had been called King Kong by the circus, sitting in the corner,” Melugin said. “He instantly grabbed her hand, took her finger and gently pushed in onto one of his teeth. He had a terrible toothache. I just thought it was interesting that he would only respond to her, even after all those years.” That was the last time she saw him. After many more years of circus per-forming, King Kong passed, was stuffed and is now on display in the St. Louis Zoo.

George Tiller, a doctor specializing in abortions, was assassinated by pro-life extremists. Three years later, Tiller’s abortion clinic, Women’s Health Services, is being reopened by the Trust Women Foundation. “Our primary goal for opening this clinic is to fill the reproductive care gap in Sedgwick County,” Outreach director of Trust Women Foundation Molly Rattler said. Since Tiller’s death, there have been limited options for women in the Sedgwick county area. This could possibly be because of many doctors’ fear of anti-abortion extremists. “We are aware of these risks and are taking the nec-essary measures to ensure it won’t happen again,” Rattler said. In addition to the contro-versial abortions, the clinic will provide other women’s health services, including examinations, birth control and prenatal care. The new clinic is fac-ing obstacles involving the Kansas legislature and anti-abortionists. “Some of these [anti-abortionist] have resorted to intimidation tactics,” Rattler said. “While others have been outright violent, resulting in the murder of Dr. Tiller.” The clinic plans on open-ing in early 2013.

“I don’t believe it is right to kill a human being,” ju-nior Morgan Wegner said. Wegner is pro-life. Though she agrees that the clinic should provide women’s health services, she believes abortions should not be one of them. “In the end, do whatever’s right for the child,” Wegner said. Junior Morgan Shetler is pro-choice. Shetler believes that there are certain times when an abortion might be the necessary. It all depends on the situation. She thinks the baby could be born into a violent environment, the pregnancy could be unex-pected, or the parents could be too young to raise a child. She thinks the clinic could help the women in the Sedg-wick County. “The Bible tells us all life is sacred, including unborn fetuses,” junior Ciara Hoover said. Hoover is pro-life, yet understands how the clinic might benefit the commu-nity. She believes that it is good the clinic will provide women’s health services to the community and though she doesn’t agree with abor-tions, she understands that if the clinic provides these services, women will be less likely to injure themselves with back-alley procedures. The reopening of the Til-ler clinic is a controversial subject and everyone is en-titled to their own opinion.

Crazy Kansas Laws

Senior Chalon Roberts hs a talent for beating his drum to provide the heart of music. Roberts started playing the drums when he was in fourth grade and has been practicing ever since. He is given the chance to show his talent by playing in Campus High School Band. “It gives me a chance to show leadership skills and perform something that I have a passion for,” Roberts said about being in the band. Roberts espescially enjoys playing the quads, or four tom-drums, during marching band season and the drum set for pep band. He also likes the compan-ionship that comes with being in the band. “It’s fun to work with people who enjoy the same things you do,” Roberts said. Not only is he able to

show off his drumming skills in the band, but Roberts is also able to show his leadership skills by being Section Leader of the percussion players this year. “I love being Section Leader,” Roberts said. “It gives me the chance to show what I’ve learned in eight years.” Roberts is very seri-ous about his talent. He spends quite a bit of his time practicing his drum set at home. He also plans to make use of his talent in the future, and his goal is to get into the pep band at Wichita State Uni-versity. Roberts is very proud of having a talent that he can enjoy and use to represent the student body here at Campus High School. “It gives me a chance to keep something going that Campus has had for a long time,” Roberts said.

Seasons In Review

Football:

Senior Joe Thompson finishes up his last year of soccer here with a stint as team captain, which isn’t anything really new, having held the position for two years. “I have what it takes to be a captain because I know the games and am willing to help other people when they need it,” said Thompson. Thompson proves he knows the game with his skill on the field. At an earlier game this past sea-son, eight colleges came to watch him perform. “It was kind of nerve-wracking,” said Thompson. Soccer isn’t the only program that Joes looking at when perusing through college pamphlets; he’s also a member of the choir and has been on the wrestling team for three

years, two of which as a captain. Friends and soccer teammates recognize Thompson for his well rounder extra-curriculars as well as his ability. “He always works really hard to get all his stuff done,” said junior Logan Johnson. “He’s a good leader and an overall good per-son,” said junior Allen Martinez. Speaking again on the fast approach-ing wrestling season, Thompson is excited. He feels very confident about the abilities of himself and of his team-mates and cannot wait to get the season up and running. “I just feel really good about this season,” said Thompson. “Like, and this is bare minimum, I’m go-ing to place at state.”

Senior Briana Binger and freshman Aaron Lindsay both qualified for state at the regional cross country meet on Saturday, Nov. 25 at Cessna Arena. The boys’ and girls’ varsity both did well with the boys taking fifth place and girls taking seventh. “It feels really good and humbling to qualify for state, especially as a senior,” Binger said. Binger placed 18th at regionals and hopes to earn a cross country and track scholarship. This is Binger’s second year qualifying for state. Her personal record is around 16 minutes and 30 seconds for the 4k. It is an improvement from the

first time she qualified for state which was 17 minutes and 29 seconds. “[State] was really intimidating but exciting,” Binger said. Lindsay placed eighth at regional’s with a time of 17 minutes and eight seconds for the 5k. Lindsay started cross country in sixth grade hoping it would help with basketball. He has come to really enjoy it and hangs out with the rest of the cross country team. “I enjoy doing what I’m good at,” Lindsay said. Campus cross country coach, Russell Herman is looking forward to next year’s team, especially the boys. All of the boys’ varsity team will be returning next year for another good year.

to develop the talents of our younger players.The freshman team, how-ever, has had a phenome-nal season with a current record of 5-3. “Our freshmen have been great this year,” Schartz said. “They beat Northwest which we’ve never done, they beat Salina South which we’ve never done.” The success of the freshmen

has provided a positive outlook on the future of the football program among students and staff alike. “No matter how the season ends we can always look forward to the next season,” Schartz said. “We’ve got some great underclassmen on their way.”

The end of the season is approaching and the boys’ soccer team is coming off a relatively good season. The team has finished this season with a record of 4-10, with wins against God-dard, Mulvane, Salina South and Arkansas City. “I think we did pretty

well this year,” defense-man Trace Vaden said. However a 4-10 re-cord is not exactly where the team would have liked to be at the end of the season. “I think we could have done better if we had communicated better on the field,” Vaden said.

The boys participated in the 6A: South Central 2 Tournamenton Oct. 23, they lost in the Semifi-nals against Wichita East with a score of 5 to 0. “I hope that next sea-son we’ll do better and win more games,” Vaden said.
