Los Gatos-SHS rivalry overrated; perhaps game should be ended November 3, 2009 — by Tiffany Tung The rivalry with Los Gatos has been a part of Saratoga students' lives for the past half century. Sure, Los Gatos may not be a competitor academically, but athletically, the Cats are our major rivals in every sport, even football, where we just racked up our 30th straight regular season loss. Given this depressing statistic, is the LG-Saratoga game worth watching? read more » Zero tolerance equals zero thought November 2, 2009 — by Jordan Waite Six-year-old cub scout Zachary Christie sat down to eat his home-packed lunch at Downes Elementary School in Newark, Del., on a day he thought was an ordinary day in Oct. He took out his camping eating utensil—which contained a fork, spoon, can opener and small knife—and was immediately sent to the principal's office for being in possession of a dangerous weapon. Christie's initial punishment was a mandatory 45 days of reform school before returning to first grade. In no way does a 6-year-old deserve such a harsh punishment over a harmless camping tool. read more » Amazon’s Kindle is making more and more sense for schools October 30, 2009 — by Roy Bisht and Brandon Yang With the world transitioning to a more electronic one, many aspects of everyday life are going digital.

Even the president himself admitted he did not feel he had done enough to deserve being awarded a prize given to the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Conservatives have had a field day with the announcement, going as far as to demean the century-old prize that is among the most prestigious awards in existence. What the critics fail to realize, however, is that Obama was not awarded the prize for what he has done, but rather for what he will do. read more » Cross in Mojave Desert should be removed October 29, 2009 — by Girish Swaminath A new Supreme Court case has sparked discussion about the principle of the separation of church and state: Salazar v. Buono. In 2001, Frank Buono, a National Park Service employee, challenged the presence of a cross in the Mojave National Preserve in California, which is considered federal land. A district court ruled in his favor , and it looked as if if the cross would be removed. But in an end-around maneuver, Congress designated the cross a national war memorial, and it remained. read more » Consumerist lifestyles need to stop being wasteful October 29, 2009 — by Cullan McChesney and Robin Liu Excess. This word has defined American culture since the inception of industrialization. No where else in the world exists a place where citizens consume so many manufactured goods.
