Leftist teacher meets right-wing club
By Kristi Chakrabarti | Feb. 15, 2005, midnight | In Features »
Members of the Young Republicans Club have finally found a place to voice their political views. At after-school meetings, students discuss tax reform, Social Security, immigration laws and the war in Iraq. They support flat tax policies and believe that the media has a heavy liberal bias. But social studies teacher Kevin Shindel challenges their opinions. "How do you know what you think you know?” he asks at almost every meeting.

When paychecks go poof!

At first glance, senior Tu Dang's small bedroom, punctuated with framed photographs and cluttered corners, seems like that of any typical teenage girl. But wait -- there's a $600 silver Gucci purse draped over a hook on the wall. And a $1,200 Louis Vuitton purse on her nightstand. Not to mention a matching $285 Louis Vuitton belt tangled in a pile of accessories next to the laundry basket.
Alex's top five for under 20

While great computer games come out each year, like Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, and Sims 2 this past year, I don't really like shelling out $45 to 50 apiece for these games. All too often, we gamers get caught up in the thrill of the moment and don't remember to buy those games we were excited about three years ago but never got around to playing. Even games from several years ago can be fun, exciting, wildly entertaining and greatest of all, dirt cheap.

High rate of teen car crashes may be caused by immature brain
By Kelly Ferguson | Feb. 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »
Researchers believe that the adolescent brain may be the cause of the high rate of car crashes among teenagers, according to a recent article in the Washington Post. A National Institutes of Health (NIH) study suggests that the region of the brain that inhibits risky behavior is not fully developed until age 25.
Louis Armstrong
By Alexander Gold | Feb. 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »
Jazz legend Louis Armstrong, also known as Satchmo, was born into poverty in 1901 in New Orleans. He had a rough childhood and was sent to "James Home for Colored Waifs," an institution dedicated to reforming troublesome youth, after he fired a pistol into the air on New Years Eve; he was only 11 years old. While there, Armstrong started playing the cornet in the home's brass band. After about 18 months, Armstrong was released, and he started playing at clubs with his mentor Joe "King" Oliver, one of the first jazz musicians.
