The James Logan Courier

By Christina La, Courier Staff Writer

Many students display their time and effort into extra-curricular activities. With so much offered here at Logan, it’s easy for students to find their interest in what they are capable of doing best. A great amount of students have found their place in sports. Student athletes spend numerous hard working days to strive themselves to their best potential in order to get recognition for their well found expertise. For some students, their sport is something that will take them beyond high school.

Hunter Hayden, a junior in his second year of being on the varsity basketball team, has already received letters of interest from various colleges, such as Stanford University, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, Santa Clara University and many more. These letters, which are sent weekly, are constant reminders for him to acknowledge that the college representatives have recognized him as a top student athlete and ask for his consideration into attending the school after high school graduation. Also, he was given a campus tour of UC Davis, and had been provided with free tickets to watch the school’s basketball game as a way to convince him to make UC Davis his selection.

WASHINGTON — In a major retreat, the Bush administration disclosed Wednesday that it has obtained approval for its domestic spying program from a special national security court and no longer will resort to warrantless telephone taps to search for terrorists.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales revealed the secret arrangement with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on the eve of his first appearance before the Democratic-controlled Congress and amid an appeals court fight over a federal judge's ruling striking down the spying program as illegal and unconstitutional.
