Friend or Foe?
By Mary Dentz
Staff Writer
In a different situation,
one that would be clearly violent and has no productive
aim, one can safely categorize
the situation as a riot. It causes no harm to generalize an
event like this because of the
circumstances. It is more productive because those involved
can move the focus away from
violence and more towards
peaceful activism. The reason
its okay to make observations
more quickly in this situation
is because there is a clear demeanor; in most real life situations it is best to wait until it
has passed to make the most
accurate judgment of whether
it was a riot, protest, or mix.
In the case of both Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore,
Maryland, there was no clear
deviation from one side to another. During the Ferguson
turmoil, many African Americans, and people of other races
as well, took to the streets to
show their discontent with the
death of Michael Brown by a
police officer. During the legal process to decide whether

Stigma surrounding mental

Field Update
Mr. Hawthorne Gives an Update on the Field Reconstruction
By Creekstar Allan
Sports Editor Elect
Many students at La Jolla
High school have been aware
of the field reconstruction
since it was proposed, and now
that the construction is well
underway Mr. Hawthorne has
agreed to update the student
body on the progress of the
project.
There are still many decisions to be made about the
outcome of the field. Mr. Hawthorne announced that while
the field is under construction,
the teams that normally practice on the field would find alternative sites to practice and
compete, provided through
the efforts of our athletic director, coach Conway.
There is a possibility that
some field hockey games will
still be played home at Muirlands as normal, but sports like
soccer and football may not be
so fortunate to play that close
to home.
One thing that is being constructed is a tennis pavilion that
is going to be put next to the
current tennis courts with storage and office space as well as
outdoor seating covered by an
awning. Other alterations to the
field include replacing the press
box, remaking both the turf
and field, repainting the home
bleachers, installing permanent
away bleachers, a new weight
room, and rebuilding coaches
offices. Also, a new entrance by
the archway near the 500 building will be turned into a functioning funneling point into the
stadium.
Overall, its going to be a
challenge. However, we can
use it as motivation and give
us the opportunity to rally together, believing that we can
win no matter where we play.
The whole process is estimated
to be completed in a total of 18
months beginning to end.

When it comes to handicapped
spots, the situation is even worse
because of accessibility concerns.
According to the Americans with
Disabilities Act and Title 24, Accessible parking spaces serving a
particular building shall be located on the shortest accessible route
of travel from adjacent parking to
an accessible entrance (sandiegocounty.gov).
The parking lot next to the administration office and gym had
the accessible handicapped parking, the spaces that legally fit the
requirement above, but construction has blocked this area off. The
other handicapped parking spots
are located at the pool and at the
cafeteria, but, because of their distances from the main office, this
will prove a burden to those who
most need accessible parking and

SHOOTING
Year After the Isla Vista Shootings, Gunmen Strike at UCSB.

Following a rant posted on
YouTube about rejection, Roger
Elliot went on a shooting spree in
Isla Vista. He killed 6 people and
injured 14 others. That was a year
ago. But history repeated itself
with another shooting that took
place in Santa Barbara this past
May 11th.
This shooting, which was less
harmful, involved two perpetrators, Jose Gutierrez and James
Taylor, both of whom are allegedly gang members.
ACLU (cont.)
LJHS officials are improperly removing postings from the student bulletin board. Given the
history of free speech problems at
LJHS, we believe such an investigation is appropriate.
The ACLU also made a California Public Records Act request
for video camera footage from
12:00 AM on Monday, April 20
to 11:59 PM on Friday, April 24,
which covers a week-long time
frame when many student posters were removed from the FSSB
during the instructional day before LJHS WASC Accreditation
visit on April 22. Hi-Tide records
show these posters were dated
4/16 and 4/17, and should not
have been taken down until 4/30
and 5/1.
The ACLUs involvement in
free speech at LJHS stems from
a 2011 lawsuit. In February 2010,
the LJHS Persian Club utilized
the schools senior benches,
which are typically spray-painted with birthday messages and
prom proposals, by painting the

The Progression
of Punk
By Mary Dentz
Staff Writer
The word punk can mean
many different things to an array of people. Some describe it
as a music genre. Others see it
as a way of life, their style, or a
rebellious movement to overthrow their suppressive adversaries. Whatever your view
may be, one cannot deny that
there is most certainly an avid
punk community right here in
San Diego.
Punk started in the late 70s
thanks to British groups like
The Clash, The Sex Pistols,
and American bands such as
The Ramones and Black Flag.
Punk revolved around straying
from the common gradient of
society. It was meant to help
people find themselves and to
inspire people to do whatever
made them happy.
Next came a kind of thrashing called New Wave Punk.
Bands like Devo, The B-52s,
The Cure, The Talking Heads,
and many others helped to
develop Punk music from its
rough-edged beginnings to
a more palatable and deeper
version, the New Wave Era.
