A PRIL 2009 COVER FEATURES The College Issue College Planning Timetable.........................17 Facts & Figures..........................................17-24 Articles .......................................................18-24 Essays ..........................................................25-27 College Directory ....................................30-32 Opinion: Edward Cullen: Gem or Jerk? “Bella is depicted as an evil temptress trying to persuade a morally honorable man into evil, while he attempts to keep their virtues intact. Succinctly, Edward and Bella are a modern Adam and Eve.” – “Twilight on Equality,” page 14 Video Game Reviews “This game shows the struggles the U.S. Marines had against the Imperial Army of Japan. It makes for a fresh setting and fresh tactics, as you have to deal with a severely entrenched Japanese Army that has no qualms about rushing at you headfirst.” – “Call of Duty: World at War,” page 41 Cover photo by Hannah Beckwith, Coronado, CA This issue is dedicated to Bob Kuchnicki, our good friend and printer. His service over the past 20 years has been invaluable, contributing greatly to our success. He will be missed by all of us.
