Security cameras are being installed at various points around the James Logan campus.
The Courier asked students what they thought about the new campus surveillance
Andrew McCaffery,
11th grade
Michael Myint,
11th grade
Alyssa Cross
11th grade
“I think it’s useless. What will they catch, nothing? I think they should use the money for more extra curricular activities rather than security.”
“If the camera doesn’t bother me, I won’t bother it. I really don’t care.”
“ I feel like it will not help the school because the students are too slick.”

WAKE UP
If you're lucky, you're still sleeping when it's "time to make the doughnuts."
We asked Joni Caputa, a pastry chef of two years at Bittersweet Pastry Shop in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, how she manages to kick the sandman to the curb at 4:15 every morning.
"I don't let myself set a snooze on my alarm, and I put my alarm across the room," Caputa said.

America has spoken: It is true that some women are only worth their sexual appeal.
The Associated Press released a story to MSNBC titled "More women going from joblessness to toplessness", on Sunday, explaining the reasons, benefits, and costs, of some women's choice to enter into the exploitative entertainment industry.
The article recieved expert advice from a New York psychotherapist who noted that, in our country's economic depression, "desperate measures are becoming far more acceptable".
Hold on, acceptable?

From wikipedia:
Nathaniel "Texas Jack" Reed (March 23, 1862 – January 7, 1950) was a 19th-century American outlaw responsible for many stagecoach, bank, and train robberies throughout the American Southwest during the 1880s and '90s. He acted on his own and also led a bandit gang, operating particularly in the Rocky Mountains and Indian Territory.
