What’s Important in a President? This year’s campaign for the presidency seems to be very controversial; everyone seems to have varying opinions on what issues matter most and which candidate is best for our country. So, I decided to conduct a survey to see what is most important in our future president to the students of GHS. I surveyed about fifty people and here are the results: 1. Do you pay attention to the presidential campaigns? Yes-24 No-19 2. If you are going to be eligible to vote in November, do you plan on doing so? Yes-16 No-12 Not old enough-15 3. Who do you think is a better candidate for presidency? John McCain-17 Hillary Clinton-13 Barack Obama-11 Other-3 4. What issue do you think is most important for our future president to deal with? Economy-22 War in Iraq-16 Health Care-8 Environment-3 5. Which do you think is a more important quality for a president? Leadership Ability-24 Honesty-12 Experience-11 Patriotism-4 Charisma (likeability)-2 By Lauren Thompson What is I.S.S? By Clay Bowles ISS or, In School Suspension, is a disciplinary program that students are assigned for five ore more demerits throughout the school year. When a student is assigned ISS, they are instructed to be quiet, do all assigned work their teacher designated, and must be working at all times. If the teacher has assigned no work for the day, the ISS monitor has the right to assign work for the student; and absolutely no day dreaming or sleeping is allowed. If any rules are broken, further actions like more days or OSS can be discussed amongst the school administrators. Through the day, the students are allowed two bathroom breaks; one in the A.M. class periods and the second in the P.M. periods. The time the students eat lunch is assigned by the school administrators, they also assign when the bathroom breaks are taken. ISS monitor Steve Wilson Tips to Avoid ISS! 1. Listen to all teachers and respect them. 2. Do not speak to the lunch detention students or the current ISS students. 3. Dress out each and every day in gym class. 4. No cursing of any kind. 5. No fighting. 6. No bullying. 7. Do not bring any alcohol, tobacco or paraphernalia to school. 8. Do not bring any weapons of any type to school. 9. Do not steal any lunchroom food. 10. Follow the dress code. 14
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the two candidates running for the Democratic Nomination. Photo from www.vipflux.com Vote of the Century By Lindsay R. Honosky The 2008 presidential campaign has been one for the history books; it’s the first election where a woman or an African American could become the Democratic presidential candidate. Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a neck-and-neck race for their party’s support, along with Independent and Republican votes in the presidential primaries. There have been many primaries throughout the year, all of which showing support for both candidates; however, Barack Obama has more of the Democratic delegate’s votes. The race has become so close that the candidates even campaigned in Guam (a territory near Vietnam owned by the United States) desperate for those extra votes. Hillary Clinton has been in politics for a good portion of her life. Being the wife of expresident Bill Clinton, she knows her way around the White House. She announced her run for the candidacy on her website, saying “I’m in, and I’m in to win.” However, she is currently behind her opponent, Barack Obama, by 164 delegate votes. The other candidate, Barack Obama, is in the lead for the Democratic Nomination. He’s not as experienced in politics as Senator Clinton; however, his message has moved thousands, every word promising hope and change. There has been endless controversy over his religious beliefs, his background, and who supports him, but it has done nothing to diminish his following. He has won most of the Presidential Primaries yet his opponent stays in the race for the hope to win over the nation in the last run before the convention. Senator Clinton won the previous primary in West Virginia, winning by a 67% lead. The next primary is being held in Kentucky, with six Electoral Votes up for grabs. Both candidates seem determined to stick it out until they reach the convention, then one of them will be deemed the next one to have a shot at the presidency. Barack Obama is the highly popular candidate in the Democratic race, winning most of the primaries and earning the majority of the Electoral Votes. Photo from slog.thestranger.com P.O.
