%s junior Morgan Myhra left her orchestra concert, viola in tow, she realized she may

have to take some extra steps to get to her locker.The administration began locking fi re doors

and hallways except the B1 hallway at 3:45 p.m. March 21 for the rest of the school year.

The unlocked area of the school extends from the Auditorium to the Fieldhouse, allowing stu-dents involved in after-school activities to access this hallway. Students who aren’t participating in an activity or staying with a teacher must leave by 3:30 p.m. If students stay past 3:45 p.m., they must wait to be picked up at the Fieldhouse doors.

Also, hallway supervisor Jodie Pfl ipsen will be monitoring the B1 hallway from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. By shutting off the school, it allows Pfl ipsen to monitor only one hallway instead of three lev-els. According to police liaison Troy Peek, the ad-ministration began the policy due to disruptions on campus after-school hours.

“Kids [were] staying until 8 or 9 p.m., causing problems and interfering with after-school activi-ties,” Peek said.

Principal Rob Metz said he couldn’t comment on any police ac-tion. However, police documents were fi led for two incidents, both of which took place on school grounds after school hours. According to these documents, which were ob-tained by Echo staff from the police department through open record laws, two male students were arrested, one March 4 and the other March 23, because of an alledged criminal sexual con-duct reported to have occurred Feb. 2. The third suspect hasn’t been arrested. Additonally, a fi ght occurred March 17 at approximately 3:45 p.m. outside the main entrance of the school.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s offi ce is currently reviewing both cases and charges are pending. According to Peek, such cases go to the County Attorney because sexual assault, obstruc-tion and disorderly conduct are criminal charges.

In response to these incidents, some students feel the school is safer due to the new policy.

“If there’s people here without supervision they’re going to cause problems,” senior Amber Lindgren said. “They’re heading in the right di-rection for making it safer after school, especially with these two incidents.”

Other students said they believe the actions of a few shouldn’t be the sole reason for the changes.

“I don’t think that we should be judged on some people about to get in a fi ght and we all feel the consequences,” freshman D.J. Davis said.

Some students worry others will fi nd some-where, possibly more dangerous, to hang out.

“They’ll just be wandering around elsewhere because they can’t stay here. I feel like they would get in less trouble if they were here,” Myhra said.

Metz said the policy may be tweaked, includ-ing adding more key pads for teacher access dur-ing the summer. Administrators are considering creating a tutoring center next year to replace the cafeteria, which is now blocked off.

Despite the changes to be made, the policy will continue through the end of the year. Until then, students such as Myhra may have to take a longer route to get around the school.

2tudents may now recognize a fa-miliar face in the halls, but anoth-er has changed locations.

The district announced senior high as-sistant principal Clarence Pollock would replace Frieda Bailey as the interim prin-cipal at Aquila. Junior high science teach-er Scott Meyers, who also has experience as summer school principal for grades 7-12, replaced Pol-lock as assistant principal at the high school. Meyers will take over Pollock’s duties in working with seniors.

Pollock, who worked at Aquila and Cedar Manor as a special education and el-ementary school teacher from 1993-2003, said the transition to Aquila has been positive.

“I think things are going well. I’m doing my best to listen to the staff and move forward. This staff is unbelievably talented and dedicated to their students,” Pollock said.

Senior high Principal Rob Metz said he believes the transition has been smooth. Meyers said he agrees.

“The staff is very welcoming and I know about half the students from teach-ing at the junior high, which has made things much easier,” Meyers said.

Most students also approve of Meyers

as the choice for interim assistant prin-cipal.

“He’s the kind of person who really cares about his students’ learning,” ju-nior Mitch Guth said. “He already has a connection and trust level with a lot of the students here.”

The transition comes as a result of Bai-ley being placed on paid administrative leave following complaints by parents of Aquila students. Parents claimed Bailey didn’t adequately address disciplinary problems involving bullying and other

confl icts. Bailey couldn’t be reached for comment.

Aquila parent Shelly Frederick-son, whose son faced disciplinary issues during an incident at Aquila, said she was con-cerned about the

lack of caring by leadership. “The judgment (Bailey) used was so

completely uncaring,” she said. “When she was acting as principal of Cedar Manor, (the administration) didn’t do anything to change that either.”

School board chair Julie Sweitzer said the decision was made by district offi -cials. According to district communica-tions specialist Sarah Thompson, Bailey is on paid administrative leave while the district conducts an investigation.

At a March 21 school board meeting, parents spoke about specifi c incidents at

Aquila. Some became visibly upset, and many discussed the failure of the leader-ship at the elementary school and the lack of accountability by Bailey.

Other parents believe the blame for the situation can’t be placed entirely on Bailey. Aquila parent and Parent Teacher Organization member Ken Morrison said he believes the problems occurred partial-ly because of the district’s failure to create a comfortable atmosphere for students from Aquila and Cedar Manor when the schools were merged.

“We merged these two schools togeth-er and neglected to have them ‘merge.’ (Bailey) chose the atmosphere that was good for her and not all parents. We as a community could have taken some time to ease that along,” Morrison said.

5oordinators for the Investing in In-novation (i3) grant compiled the fi rst draft of the plan recently.

Meetings began in early April and more will be April 14 and April 28.

“The meetings are to provide feedback

and to make sure all must haves are in place,” i3 coordinator Justin Barbeau said.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in panels, as well as a town hall meeting in mid-May.

While the grant focuses on expanding the freshman BARR program to the entire high school, two schools in Maine and California will implement the original program.

“The federal government is trying to see what works in schools and (the i3 grant)

tests the freshman program in small schools and in large schools,” Metz said. “If it does work then there is the potential that the pro-gram could be replicated nationwide.”

Staff from the two schools visited Park April 4-6 with Search Institute representa-tives and several National Advisers. They spent April 5 at the high school.

The fi rst draft will fi nish in mid-May and there are plans to implement changes from the grant starting next year.

;epresentative Steve Simon made an ap-pointment to observe

classrooms, not to spark debate.

Simon’s visit to Park March 18 comes as part of his attempt to understand problems facing schools. Si-mon said he needs to learn from both students and teachers how he can better vote to improve education.

“My objective is to immerse myself in the real world of a school. There is some-thing to be said about seeing it for your-self,” Simon said.

Simon observed a variety of curricula, in-cluding advanced placement, special educa-tion and English as a second language class-es. Special education teacher Skip Chell said

he believes Simon’s tour will be more effec-tive than past visits by politicians because he experienced all aspects of the school.

“We call this the reality tour. This is the true face of public education,” Chell said. “The reality is that there are a lot of kids who are not in ideal classroom situations.”

Some students said they noticed Simon’s presence, de-spite his limited interactions with them.

“If lawmakers actually saw the repercussions of ed-ucation laws, I think things would be a lot different,” ju-nior Cassy Jerrett said.

Simon made himself available for questions from

teachers during lunch.“Not only do I need people who I can

count on as advisers, but I have to see where they are coming from to understand the dy-namics of a school,” Simon said.

Simon said he hopes to rely on relation-ships he built, as well as classroom observa-tions for decisions on future education bills.

@hen freshman Mary Pavia was deciding this summer

which high school to attend, she debated between Minneap-olis South and Park. However, for students who open enroll at Park in the future, this deci-sion will have to be made ear-lier.

For the 2011-2012 school year, school offi cials anticipate the open enrollment option will be closed sometime by the end of this year instead of partially into the school year.

Pavia said this change in the application deadline would be

frustrating for students hoping to open enroll.

“Although it’s a nuisance for teachers when kids are still join-ing the class after two weeks of school, they still deserve the op-portunity to go to the school,” Pavia said.

According to Principal Rob-ert Metz, however, this change in the deadline is due to antici-pated higher enrollment. For example, in past years the total student body has been between 1,250 and 1,325. This year’s freshman class increased enroll-ment to 1,375.

“This means we are really crowded,” Metz said. “So, we added some staff in September, which was great, but caused quite a lot of upset people as

schedules had to be changed.”Since another large freshman

class is anticipated, possibly in-creasing the total student body to more than 1,400 students next year, the administration has decided to hire new staff this spring and close open en-rollment shortly after.

However, this doesn’t mean those students will never be able to enroll at Park. Metz said if class size’s drop open enroll-ment could reopen.

“If we are wrong and our enrollment drops over the sum-mer, we can always open up open enrollment again in the fall,” Metz said. “We can even open it in one grade where we need students and not in anoth-er where we might be full.”

Dromoting awareness for cancer is im-portant to some students, but this year

it took on a special meaning.Senior International Baccalaureate (IB)

diploma candidates organized a group to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at the Mall of America.

The group, “SLPHS 2011 Runners,” will raise money and run May 8 in sup-port of biology teacher Barbara Divinski, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.

“I’m extremely honored that stu-dents are doing this,” Divinski said.

“I know it’s a hassle, paying money and going out with an enormous crowd, and I’m just so honored. I don’t know what to say,” she said.

IB coordinator Bruce McLean, who or-ganized the event with senior Alex Kersten, said anyone who wants to participate is wel-come.

Senior Michael Prideaux said he believes the race is a great way to show support for breast cancer awareness.

“I’m not athletic and I don’t run, but I want to participate and show my support for such an important cause,” Prideaux said.

Participants must register online by April 16 and each pay a $25 registration fee.

Ganguage arts teacher Peter Redmond is one of 10 teachers to be named fi -

nalist for the 2011 Minnesota Teacher of the Year. He was selected as a fi nal-ist from 108 Teacher of the Year can-didates based on a portfolio candidates were required to create. A selection panel of 23 judges will meet April 30 to conduct individual interviews with the 10 fi nalists and will then make their fi nal decision for who is to be named Minnesota Teacher of the Year.

Redmond said receiving the award would mean a great deal to him, and he hopes to represent not just himself but other teachers as well.

“It confi rms what educators have been doing for years, because most educators toil in anonymity,” Redmond said. “So hopefully I will get to repre-sent teachers in general.”

6enior Kelsey Reid is a runner-up for the National Scholastic Press Asso-

ciation Journalism Honor Roll scholar-ship.

+o feathers, rhinestones or even intricate choreog-raphy. No, “The Fantasticks” doesn’t fi t the typi-cal description of a musical.

Instead, the small cast, simple set and limited instru-mentals place the show’s focus on the performers them-selves, according to senior Ryan Levin.

“People come to see musicals think-ing they will see huge dance numbers and beautiful sets, but (watching “The Fan-tasticks”) people will be more connected with the actors and less focused on what everything looks like,” Levin said. “The show’s emphasis is on simplicity, but it all has a deeper meaning.”

Theater director Jodi Hatzenbeller said a less elaborate show was a good op-tion this year given the stage’s restricted availability between various music con-certs and the limited student participa-tion.

“It was a culmination of all the right factors,” Hatzenbeller said. “There is a smaller group of people interested in theater this year and our tech director was not available this spring, so it was a good opportunity to do a visually minimalistic show.”

However, Levin said the simplicity of the show has required more of the performers.

“It challenges me because there is less set and stuff to look at, instead all the eyes will be on the actors, we’re the set,” Levin said.

Another new element of the show is the use of com-media dell’arte, an Italian theater technique often charac-terized by the use of masks and improvisation. While this

component was not in the original script of “The Fanta-sticks,” Hatzenbeller said she adapted the show because it creates more opportunities for cast members. However, instead or scripting this part herself, Hatzenbeller has al-lowed the cast members to bring in their ideas as well.

The comedia dell’arte also provides a link to theatri-cal styles students often don’t get experience with.

“We’re harkening back to previous theater periods and paying them homage,” Hatzenbeller said. “It ties the it to the past by bringing it back to its theatrical roots.”

Freshman Bessie Bulman said the commedia dell’arte characters also help to guide the audi-ence through the show.

“All of the commedia dell’arte char-acters are clear archetypes, which I think helps the audience understand what the real characters are styled after,” Bulman said. “It clues the audience in more and adds a lot of depth.”

Also new to the theater department this spring are music director Katherine Postel, who was brought in because of both her instrumental and vocal exper-tise, and assistant director Rob Hatzen-beller, Jodi Hatzenbeller’s brother, who has experience as a professional actor.

While both individuals offer the cast valuable advice, Hatzenbeller said it is also benefi cial for the performers to be

exposed to different viewpoints. Bulman agrees the several new directors have been

helpful for the cast, as well as managing the show itself.“It’s good to have different perspectives,” Bulman

said. “We get used to one style of directing, music and choreography, so it’s nice to work with new people and it makes us more well-rounded.”

The show’s style of music is also a change for the cast. Instead of a full orchestra, the score will highlight Postel on the piano, supported by a few percussion instruments, adding to the production’s theme of simplicity.

It uses a lot of different types of music. There are, of course, more typical musical numbers, but also some Spanish style blues and jazz, too. The way we are doing the music is very similar to the way the score was written, which originally in-cluded parts for percussion, piano and harp.

I believe what I bring is not so much new techniques, but a new way to explain things. I don’t necessarily always use the right theater and music terminology, but I try to use terms that will make the cast more successful. I use a lot of analogies and try to put things in a way that the kids can understand.

I hope to teach them not just strictly the music, but to give them skills to interpret the emotions and moods of what they’re singing and to give them skills they can continue to use even after high school.

!he era of cutting out Sunday’s newspaper coupons is over.

Coupon websites, virtually unknown a year ago, are now famil-iar across the nation according to the Wall Street Journal. Groupon, a daily deal provider, has more than 50 mil-lion subscribers as of January 2011. Recently, Facebook announced it will be testing a discount service and Google tried to buy Grou-pon for $6 million.

Popular coupon sites like Groupon, Crowd Cut and Liv-ing Social advertise daily discounts at places from local res-taurants to spas to bowling alleys for 50 to 90 percent off.

According to Crowd Cut vice presi-dent Kyle Hale, coupon sites allow teens to try out cheap new experiences.

“Think of different events maybe you have wanted to try, but it was a bit out of your price range to spend on a fi rst time experience,” Hale said. “Our hope is that if you like your experi-ence you will return to that business and bring friends one day and also return to Crowd Cut for additional purchases.”

Some students said they think the coupons offered on these websites are relevant to students.

“I think the sites are applicable to students. Most people I know go out on the weekends for food and most of

the coupons on the sites are for food places,” junior Sumer Heyda said.

While many of the coupons may be for restaurants, sophomore Danielle Moldo said a lot of the deals are for unfamiliar places.

“While the sites defi nitely make me more likely to go to a place I know, they also give me a reason to go to an unknown place,” she said.

Heyda said she agreed the daily deals incentivize her to broaden her horizons to new experiences.

“Students can use the sites to branch out,” she said. “I had never been to Davan-ni’s until I got a free hoagie coupon, and now I keep it in mind whenever I go out.”

Some students fi nd it diffi cult to fi nd applicable coupons.

Groupon tries to resolve this issue with personalized deals. Students can check off favorite deals on their profi le and Groupon will customize coupons sent to them.

While Groupon may be the only dealer with personalized options, other specifi c online coupon websites exist. For example, 8coupons.com compiles the top eight food coupons in each zip code.

In light of the current economic downturn, coupons are gaining popu-larity among teens.

“Coupon websites are making teenagers into more deal shoppers and coupon users,” Bolin Marketing digi-tal marketing manager Holly Matson said. “They are making coupons cool-er and Groupon and Living Social are making using coupons more hip.”

+t was 11:14 a.m. Tuesday, April 20, 1999 in Littleton, Colo.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked discreetly through their school cafeteria, each dropping a duffel bag containing a pipe bomb. They then left for the parking lot to watch their plan unfold: a cafeteria ablaze with more than 600 dead.

However, realizing both bombs failed, they walked into their school and shot and killed 12 students, one faculty member and eventually themselves.

As the 12th anniversary of the Colum-bine massacre approaches, I fi nd myself revisiting the book “Columbine” by Dave Cullen, which captures details of before, during and after the attacks. We’ve been in contact a couple times over the past year , and I’ve expressed my appreciation of the

10 years he spent cov-ering the tragedy. He sends an important message to high school students: speak out.

Students should reach out to others who are acting dis-tant as people who will support them and more importantly, just listen.

Though most stu-dents wouldn’t plan a school-wide massa-cre, take the initiative to help students who

might be struggling. If they decide not to hurt other students, they surely could hurt themselves.

According to counselor Barb Nelson, stu-dents should confi de in adults if their peers begin to act unusually. She said she believes adults can help students when deciding if other students’ behaviors are normal or not.

Though specifi c warning signs are dif-fi cult to defi ne, social media is often a re-source students go to when they are strug-gling. They want to speak out.

Read between the lines of their statuses, tweets or texts. Figure out what they’re try-ing to reveal about themselves.

In the case of Harris and Klebold, the signs were all there: the boys had an 18-year-old girl purchase three of the four guns used in the attacks.

They occasionally ran into trouble with the law. Harris posted death threats on his website. Klebold turned in a short story for his creative writing class portraying the ruthless murder of a dozen students.

After Klebold’s teacher expressed her concern, he pretended the short story wasn’t signifi cant. Unconvinced, his teacher called his parents, who, according to Cullen, also acted nonchalantly.

Finally, she brought it to Klebold’s school counselor. Still, the people his teacher con-tacted did nothing.

However unjustifi ed their actions, I re-fuse to believe Harris and Klebold were monsters. No one close to them bothered to understand them until it was too late. In the eyes of their community, they were normal kids with some rebellious streaks.

Students must be conscious of those who surround them, as Klebold’s creative writ-ing teacher was 12 years ago.

Being attentive could save the lives of one, 13 or even 600.

Bor being a quiet day, the Day of Silence speaks volumes.The National Day of Silence is a day in which middle

school to college students across the United States take a vow of silence for either a whole day or part of a day to call at-tention to anti-Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) bul-lying and harassment in schools.

GLBT issues that are sometimes ignored and silenced are brought to the forefront on this day of support.

Students have shown support for the Day of Silence in past years, and many are continuing their participation April 15.

“I participate in the Day of Silence annually because it’s a really important cause,” sophomore Taylor Miles said. “You’re speaking, metaphorically, for the people who can’t speak out for themselves, and showing them that it’s OK to be who you are and you shouldn’t get punished for it.”

Since 2001, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Net-work (GLSEN), an education organization dedicated to ensur-ing students in every school community are respected regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, has sponsored the Day of Silence.

Although not talking for a day can appear to be contradicto-ry to speaking out against anti-GLBT bullying and harassment, social worker Jeremy Riehle said he believes the Day of Silence has an impact on the cause.

“The GLBT community is a frequently forgotten community, and the amount of discrimination and harassment is something that slips by regularly. The Day of Silence brings attention to the issue in a focused way, and in that way it’s pretty powerful,” Riehle said.

Miles said she thinks the Day of Silence has made an impor-tant impact by taking a stand against GLBT harassment.

“A lot of times when people use words to stop this kind of stuff, they get ignored,” Miles said. “You can’t ignore silence.”

Junior Justin Towers, who participated in the Day of Silence last year, said he had a positive experience last time and is excit-ed to support the cause again.

“It was hard not talking for an entire day, because I’m usu-ally the one who is always talking and al-ways has to comment on something. But I went through with it because it’s an im-portant cause, and it’s worth it,” Towers said.

With so many stu-dents participating in or supporting the Day of Silence, Riehle said it shows both the school community’s openness and accep-tance.

“Generally speak-ing, Park is a very sup-portive place for GLBT students,” Riehle said.

“Of course there are some issues of discrimination and homophobia, but this is a supportive and respectful place, and we have a very solid repu-tation as such,” he said.

Although April 15 may appear quieter than usual, its silent message will nevertheless be heard throughout the nation as stu-dents across the nation commit to a day of silence.

-dvisers Julie Schilz and Emily Binder announced the NHS leadership posi-tions next year. Juniors Elana Vlodaver was named president, Megan Smith

vice president, Emma Vitale secretary and Tarun Repala public relations offi cer. The new offi cers haven’t yet met, but Smith anticipates they will continue

many of NHS’s signature community service projects, such as the Westwood Hills Nature Center Halloween Party.

“We have nothing set in stone, but I’d like to see more tangible service proj-ects where students can see the effect they’re having on the community,” she said. “I want it to be more hands-on.”

This year’s NHS banquet will be April 17, and new members will be notifi ed about induction next fall.

5uniors Hadley Simonett, Sonia Robiner and Kaitlyn Noreen advanced to the International DECA Conference in Orlando. At the state competition

March 6-8, Robiner and Simonett placed second in marketing communications, and Noreen placed fourth in principles of marketing.

The three to advance were among Park’s 11 fi nalists at the state competition, which adviser Jena Wurdeman said was a remarkable accomplishment.

“Last year we only had one student who qualifi ed (for nationals),” she said. “This year, we had 11 out of 12 make it to the fi nal round of state. Overall, we’re pretty successful, but we have a small chapter so we don’t send huge numbers of people.”

The national conference will be April 30- May 3.

6he Senior All-Night Party planning committee is reminding seniors to pay the $65 fee before May 1. Afterwards, the price will increase to $75. If stu-

dents have trouble paying the fee, scholarships are available. Those interested in scholarships should contact assistant principal Scott Meyers.

According to Kari Conroy, the volunteer coordinator for the Senior All Night Party, the fee represents only part of the party’s cost.

“The majority of the money is payed by fundraising. The $65 is actually a major cut,” Conroy said.

Conroy also points out that once seniors pay the fee, the party’s activities, entertainment and food will be all-inclusive.

*ith endless distractions preventing teens from completing their work, encouragement is the last thing that students may need.

According to “Outsourcing Self-Regulation,” a study printed Feb. 15 in the journal the Psychological Science, motivation from outside sources, such as family or friends, can infl uence students to put off work because they assume others will do it for them.

The study also found people tend to procrastinate more when re-ceiving support from others, which is “self-regulatory outsourcing,” or the reliance on others to complete their goals. This tends to de-crease motivation, resulting in habitual procrastination.

“Virtually all students are procrastinators. Most students can deal with procrastination so it’s not a disaster, but the real issue is wasted opportunity,” professor of philosophy emeritus at Stanford Univer-sity John Perry said.

To prevent this, students should prioritize their work based on what assignments will take the longest, and also which hold most importance in the class.

“When I have a big test to study for I count down the days until the test in my planner. When I see that I get motivated to get it done,” sophomore Sophia Tempkin said.

The study found that in an academic setting, students working with a partner will unconsciously assume others will do their work for them. Another phrase for this is social loafi ng, according to psy-chology teacher Greg Goddard. To avoid this, he suggests giving clear responsibility and setting deadlines.

“One person needs to take the lead in allocating tasks and decid-ing when tasks need to be done,” he said. “Someone needs to not care

+on Jones, a personal trainer at LA Fitness in St. Louis Park said when clients come in looking for personal

training he has them fi ll out a questionnaire to fi nd what he calls “the X factor,” which is what he uses as motivation for pursuing a regular fi tness program.

“The questions ask about goals, what you want to ac-complish, what you came in today, how long you’ve thought about getting on a regular fi tness program and the last time you were in the shape you wanted,” Jones said.

Jones said he frequently sees procrastinators looking for personal training and the self evaluation is the fi rst step in setting up the plan.

The self evaluation also helps with uncovering excuses and fi nding places where people lose motivation, which can assist those seeking a healthier lifestyle to stay on track.

Students without a personal trainer can still create their own questionnaire-type evaluation and take the time to con-sider their reasoning for getting fi t and fi nd their motivation.

Sophomore Zack Gilbert Burke recommends preparing mentally to help focus and not procrastinate for the gym.

“Keep in your mind that the longer you wait the more pain you will feel because your body keeps getting more and more out of shape,” he said.

By really considering what motivates is necessary to make changes, it could be easier to stay on track with fi tness prog-ress.

“One person needs to take the lead in allocating tasks and decid-ing when tasks need to be done,” he said. “Someone needs to not care

about social stigma and be the leader.”While some may defi ne this as laziness, there could be a psycho-

logical backing to procrastination.“One fairly common thing is procrastinating because you’re a per-

fectionist. You set the bar so high that it’s frightening to actually try to accomplish it,” Perry said.

If students create such high expectations for themselves, they may live in fear of being unable to achieve their goals, according to Perry.

Students may also need to defer less work to their peers and place more responsibility on themselves. If students defi ne specifi c deadlines they are more likely to stay on track and effectively complete the as-signment, according to Goddard.

Creating deadlines for a group project forces individual students to assume responsibility. Students can better cope with their habit of procrastination if they make an effort to fi x the problem sooner. So if students can tune out the various distractions, they can use others’ encouragement as a way to be motivated.

0on Jones, a personal trainer at LA Fitness in St. Louis Park said when clients come in looking for personal

training he has them fi ll out a questionnaire to fi nd what he calls “the X factor,” which is what he uses as motivation for pursuing a regular fi tness program.

“The questions ask about goals, what you want to ac-complish, what you came in today, how long you’ve thought about getting on a regular fi tness program and the last time you were in the shape you wanted,” Jones said.

Jones said he frequently sees procrastinators looking for personal training and the self evaluation is the fi rst step in setting up the plan.

The self evaluation also helps with uncovering excuses and fi nding places where people lose motivation, which can assist those seeking a healthier lifestyle to stay on track.

Students without a personal trainer can still create their own questionnaire-type evaluation and take the time to con-sider their reasoning for getting fi t and fi nd their motivation.

Sophomore Zack Gilbert Burke recommends preparing mentally to help focus and not procrastinate for the gym.

“Keep in your mind that the longer you wait the more pain you will feel because your body keeps getting more and more out of shape,” he said.

By really considering what motivates is necessary to make changes, it could be easier to stay on track with fi tness prog-ress.

1avid Kurtzon, a health educator at West Suburban Teen Clinic, recommends setting up a schedule for dealing with

relationship problems with a boyfriend or girlfriend. He sug-gests picking a day either once a week or once every other week where a couple can check in with each other about the relationship. At this time, any tension or confl ict can be dis-cussed so it doesn’t continue to build.

Kurtzon also recommends setting deadlines for yourself to ensure the problem is handled. If there has been an issue with a friend or a boyfriend/girlfriend, setting a date to deal with it can create motivation to follow through.

If relationship problems accumulate, Kurtzon suggests pri-oritizing to make them more manageable.

“Problems pile up and pretty soon you have you have nine different issues to confront. Prioritize what is most important and pick the two most important things to deal with so you don’t feel completely overwhelmed,” he said.

When dealing with parents, taking time to consider how to approach the situation can ease fears of unpleasant discus-sions.

“Come up with a plan on how to handle the problem, what points to make, how to handle the conversation and being careful about picking the right place to have the conversation,” Kurtzon said.

By developing a plan of action, students can ease some anx-iety associated with confrontational conversations.

2he job application process may appear overwhelming at fi rst, but doing it in smaller pieces can alleviate the stress,

according to business education teacher Jena Wurdeman. “One step students can take during the year is to be in-

volved in school activities so they become employable,” she said.

By participating in a variety of clubs, sports and activities, students appear experienced and knowledgeable in multiple fi elds.

But before even searching for a job, career and technical education director Kara Mueller suggests students complete a series four steps to be prepared.

“First, identify what your natural strengths and skills are. Then identify your networking base, which could include teachers, parents and counselors,” Mueller said.

A network can open students to new job opportunities.“After that, create a personal data sheet, which would in-

clude your contact information, references and a list of your strengths. Then you’ll always be ready for an on-the-spot in-terview,” Mueller said. “Finally, make a plan of action for your network so you can market yourself.”

By preparing earlier, students can ensure they won’t be scrambling at the last minute, according to Mueller. Another note of advice is to avoid being too selective.

“Just remember that any job is better than no job,” Muel-ler said.

!n estimated 10 percent of all athletes will suffer from a con-cussion each year.

Presented to the U.S. Senate March 16, the Children’s Sports Athletic Equipment Safety Act hopes to in-crease youth athletes’ safety by improving helmet and pad quality. This bill would re-quire equipment producers to meet certain safety regulations before selling their prod-uct, as well as ensuring schools purchase new gear to maintain the safety requirements.

The bill aims to counteract the concussion rate seen this fall during football season but would also although this bill will regulate equipment for other sports as well. Mouth guards, shin guards, helmets and lacrosse goggles will also be regulated.

Still, some experts, such as Mark Nelson, Urgent Care physi-cian at Fairview Urgent Care, said they are concerned this bill will not greatly decrease the number of concussions, as expected by the government, although it will still offer some benefi ts.

“I don’t think that it would affect the number of people we see (in urgent care), but it would affect the severity of the injuries,” Nelson said. “(This bill) would be giving the minor the best chance of minimizing the severity of the injury.”

According to the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force, sports are the second largest cause of traumatic brain injury in people 15-24.

Sophomore Annikka Oelhafen said she worries about concus-sions when she plays lacrosse, but it never stops her from playing.

“The regulations this act offers are good, because they will not only increase student safety, but awareness of the dangers in sports,” Oelhafen said.

Other students feel the new bill will reduce the risk of this injury. Senior Zach Hahnen obtained a concussion from hockey, and said he supports this bill for preventative purposes, although he is unsure of the bill’s effectiveness.

“The concussion made me have tons of headaches,” Hahnen said. “A better helmet would have helped (decrease the severity), but I’m not sure it would have prevented a concus-sion all together.”

Even so, athletic director Andy Ewald said he believes the equipment currently used at Park is excellent.

“We are pretty pro-active about keeping high-quality helmets. We have them reconditioned every year,” Ewald said. “If any hel-mets are deemed not at the quality they have to be, they are de-stroyed.”

Park also uses ImPACT tests before and after an injury to deter-mine when a player’s health returns to normal. The test measures focus, reaction time, memory and other mental functions that could be damaged by a concussion.

-or most people the phrase “spring break” means rest and relaxation.

However, for me and my 19 teammates on the baseball team, it meant a trip to San Diego, six-hour long practices and a chance to fi nally step outside on a fi eld.

The trip came as a relief after count-less hours in the weight room, early mornings spent throwing in the gym and numerous weekends inside batting cages that had characterized my life during the past few months. Anxiously waiting for the day we could step outside on the fi eld, my base-ball teammates and I had attempted (unsuccessfully) to remain patient while acquainting ourselves with every crack and crevice on the dusty gym fl oor.

Baseball, like many other activities, was made to be played outdoors, and I often be-came depressed while wonder-ing if the record snowfall outside would ever melt.

Yet as we land-ed in San Diego and I glanced out the window to the sight of sunshine and absolutely no snow, the excite-ment of baseball began to build.

While the feel-ing of anticipation, as in many areas of life, is almost unbearable, it only adds to the satisfaction experienced when stepping out onto the fi eld for the fi rst time. The wait and hard work is more than worthwhile.

This excitement I experience during the fi rst outdoor practice of every year is created by the shining sun, green grass and blue sky which I have associated with baseball.

The sensation is not at all unique to baseball. During a sport, activity or any other passion, the participant begins to associate the surrounding elements, ob-jects and people with your particular pastime. These elements often reignite one’s passion and provide motivation.

This point was illustrated to me as I sat in my hotel room applying the third coat of much-needed sunscreen. The distinct smell brought back memories of practices, games, coaches and team-mates that reminded me of my love for baseball.

And while I love baseball, I’ve real-ized that I play the sport not out of my love for the game, but because it defi nes who I am as a person.

This concept is seen in many areas such as sports, academics, religion, the-atre and volunteer work. These interests not only serve as a form of expression, solitude or entertainment, but also give one a sense of identity.

Despite how long I continue play-ing baseball, I plan on anxiously look-ing forward to the start of the baseball season and remembering my passion for the game. But above all, no matter the circumstances, I will always consider myself a baseball player.

=ith an experienced new head coach, seven returning varsity players, and offseason training, the baseball team has found its strength in experience.

After placing second in both its conference and section last year and off to a 2-0 start, the team hopes to win the confer-ence and advance to state this season with the help of new head coach, ‘98 Park alum Aaron McEachran. Past coach Chad Austad stepped down this year to spend more time with his family.

McEachran played baseball for the University of Northern Iowa after Park, and in 2001 was drafted to play for the Toronto Blue Jays. After retiring in 2008, he was a professional minor league hitting and catching coach, and for the past three years has

coached Dakota County Technical College.

McEachran said he’s enjoyed giving back, and coached the soph-omore baseball team in 2009. He said having coached the team of now mainly seniors has smoothed his transition this year.

“The fact I had them two years ago helps as far as mentality and keeping on task,” he said. “It helps

as far as how we go about doing things and organization.”Senior captain Derrick Keller said along with more discipline

McEachran has brought a new motivation.“He’s intense with everything he does,” he said. “He brings an

intensity that rubs off on us and makes us excited to play.”McEachran said while he thinks the team’s infi eld will be one of

the best in the conference, he focuses on base running.“Base running is defi nitely key for me,” McEachran said. “A lot

of people say there’s offense and defense, but I say there’s hitting, pitching and base running.”

Another focus of McEachran and the team this year is pitching, since all of last years’ pitchers were seniors.

Senior Bobby Otto said crucial this season is the experience the team has together as well as conditioning and practices put in work put in since November.

“We’ve worked harder than we ever have before in the offsea-son,” Otto said. “We defi nitely have higher expectations.”

McEachran said the team aims high, and will fi nd it’s strength

from the respect for the game he sees in his players. He said he shares this same respect from his experience.

“I respect the game because it helped make me the person I am, and I want them to understand this,” he said.

Keller said he has noticed and appreciated this mutual respect.“His respect for the game and how much he cares rubs off on

us. We had that before, but he brought it into perspective,” he said.Results from Tuesday’s game vs. Totino-Grace were unavail-

able at press time, and the next game is home April 14 vs. Chisago Lakes.

!espite losing its fi rst game, girls’ lacrosse has high hopes for this season. The team played Edina/Rosemount April 7 and lost 8-12.

According to senior captain Alex Stitt, team members performed poorly during the fi rst half, but began to work together better dur-ing the second half, outscoring Eagan/Rosemount 5-3.

After losing 18 seniors last year, the team is looking to under-classmen and new players to fi ll spots left on the varsity team, with only two returning varsity players. Additionally, the team has two new co-head coaches, Kyle Sweeney and Katie George.

George said she is glad to be able to work with a fresh set of players, many of whom haven’t played on varsity before, as the

varsity roster includes few un-derclassmen and mostly juniors.

“We kind of have a clean slate to work from,” George said. “We get new players who haven’t worked with a different varsity coach, so we’re all start-ing on the same page.” Senior captain Amelia Swartout said she sees this year as a rebuilding season. “I think it’s really good that there are new players this year,” Swartout said. “Working with

younger players will help mold the future of the team. I’m not fo-cused on winning as much as building a team for years to come.”

George said part of why she loves coaching high school sports is to see kids improve and become very good players over the course of four years.

“What high school sports are all about is losing big stars and having younger players be able to step up and take their place,” George said. “I like to see players fi nally get the chance to come out

of their shell and become the star of the team.”Mackenzie Bruun-Bryant, freshman and varsity goalie, said she

likes how the coaches are able to teach in an accessible way.“They teach us plays and different ways to score,” Bruun-Bry-

ant said. “But they still focus on fundamentals like passing and teamwork. They’re good because they know about the sport, and they are easy to understand.”

The team plays their next game against Rochester John Mar-shall/Lourdes April 13.

*iven recent after-school behavior in-cidents, the administration is justifi ed

in its attempt to clamp down on disruptive students roaming the hallways well after school hours.

However, we believe the policy is un-necessarily restrictive. Requiring students to leave the building at 3:30 p.m. if they aren’t in an after-school activity or with a teacher and locking all hallway doors at 3:45 p.m. makes it signifi cantly harder for students to access help after school.

Many teachers stay after school to al-low students a chance to come in and get extra help or discuss assignments. If one of these meetings runs longer than expect-ed, students should not have to navigate a labyrinth of locked doors in the hallways to exit the building.

If a student makes up a test after school and takes 50 minutes — the time of a class period — to do so, they should not be forced to experience any inconvenience leaving the building after they fi nish work. The policy also prohibits access to the caf-eteria after the designated times, taking away a space some students have used to receive tutoring after school.

Some students in the building after

school are there for a positive, construc-tive and academic purpose. The adminis-tration should reconsider the new policy with a focus on maintaining the possibility of continuing one’s education after school.

This could be achieved by revising the time at which the policy goes into effect.

Pushing the time back to 4 or 4:30 p.m.

would still prevent some people from be-ing in the building with no reason well af-ter school hours, but not hinder students’ abilities to pursue their education after the fi nal bell.

Although the ideas behind the new pol-icy have merit, it’s time to reconsider the policy’s practical effects.

='oung celebrities Chris Brown, Taylor Swift and the Olson twins have all worn the famous milk moustache. But, they wouldn’t make the cut for Central Clinic’s recent campaign.

Recently, Central Clinic put up posters around the high school that read, “Got Baby? Should have used a condom,” playing on the famous “Got Milk?” campaigns.

The clinic worked with students from Park’s graphic design class last year to create a series of posters, including the “Got Baby?” poster. Junior Matthew Cramer, who designed the poster, said the

phrase was used to capture students’ in-terest and get them to read the rest of the information.

While the clinic has good intentions and the posters catch students’ attention, they do so for the wrong reasons. To pregnant students, the poster’s message may sound like a strong con-demnation of their actions. It sounds more like a taunting, “Well, aren’t you stupid?”rather than, “We’re here to sup-port you.”

The clinic, which provides free medical services to youth, is a great resource for students. Although the clinic certainly wants to avoid endorsing teen pregnancies, the posters don’t effectively por-traying the support it does provide. The clinic actually offers baby checkups and gets women prenatal care coverage through the local Creekside Clinic.

But by employing the phrasing utilized in the playful “Got Milk?” campaigns, the posters seem to satirize what is a very daunting real-ity for some teens.

The posters also don’t effectively advocate for safe sex. The title

sounds too much like a bad attempt at slang followed by a statement that sounds more like a nagging parent than a cautionary warning.

Without looking at the poster closely, the message is limited to the title and, “Be Safe. Be Smart.” By connecting with students through posters, the decisions students make about sex are simplifi ed to have sex or not, use protection or not. While the clinic should advertise, education efforts are better done through an honest dialogue. The services the clinic provides for young mothers are what it should advertise in its posters, and what will resonate most with students.

Although the clinic’s message may be clouded by poor word choice, students should still take the time to learn about the resourc-es available through the clinic. If students choose to have sex, they should educate themselves about local resources for things from con-traceptive to health care during pregnancy.

Dstudent’s inability to succeed in calculus or history has little to do

with his or her driving abilities. Policies such as Nevada’s, linking

high school performance and driving privileges have been adopted in 27 other states. Luckily Minnesota has no such law. Combining academic success with students’ privilege to drive sends the wrong message.

If a state has to coerce its students into receiving a decent education, per-haps something is fundamentally wrong with its methods in the fi rst place. Forc-ing students to stay in school won’t in-still in them the passion to succeed and hurts others who want to learn.

Rather than scaring students into staying in school, educators should fo-cus on showing students the improved quality of life that comes with complet-ing high school and higher education. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a high school dropout receives an aver-

age annual income of $18,900 while a high school graduate receives $23,400.

Moreover, for students who don’t excel in school, obtaining a license grants them the ability to fi nd a job and become more self-supporting and responsible. These are skills they would be unable to learn in the classroom.

Some teenagers must take on adult-hood responsibilities at a younger age by helping to support their families. By taking away a license, the state could be forcing a student into a setting they may be unable to succeed in while tak-ing away their chances of success in the working world as well.

By being more passionate about what education has to offer, teachers can reach student groups that do not see the value of education. This change in the way students view learning will produce greater results than by threat-ening to take away licenses that stu-dents rightfully earned and need.

Gess than 65 percent of Nevada teens graduate high school, a dangerous

statistic for a state with one of the high-est unemployment rates in the country.

A recent study by the Nevada De-partment of Motor Vehicles found that both grades and school attendance rates drop at age 16 when teens receive their provisional drivers’ licence. Plac-ing further restrictions on teen driving would help combat this.

A Nevada bill, Assembly 64, would link teen driving privileges with school performance and attendance. Though certainly controversial, it is also liable to both reduce the number of high school dropouts.

Twenty-seven states have enacted laws restricting teen driving during the school day, with a high degree of suc-cess. However, they only targeted one side of the problem.

For states like Nevada, the problem is not just accidents, but the many teens

who drop out of high school every year. Curtailing student driving privileges in cases of extreme truancy and failed classes will help solve that problem.

In order to keep their provisional driver’s licence, high school students would have to fail no more than a third of their classes in a given semester, while maintaining a reasonable atten-dance record. The risk of licence revo-cation alone will motivate teens to stay in school.

It won’t target average students, or those who struggle through some of their classes. The law has provisions to exclude those with extenuating circum-stances, including those who live out of district or become a primary income source for their family.

This law would affect only teens with no excuse for poor academic per-formance or truancy. It will help in-crease attendance, and discourage drop outs.

Kcott Walker eats babies. I’d rather be a union thug than a Walker terrorist.

These are just two of many picket signs present in Madi-son, Wisc. criticizing Gov. Scott Walker during a massive protest after the passage of a controversial bill limiting the collective bargaining rights of teachers unions.

Walker promoted the passage of the bill to slash the defi -cit Wisconsin faces. The passage of such a bill put the right to unionize and the power of collective bargaining under scrutiny.

Collective bargaining rights allow for unions to negoti-ate issues such as benefi ts, wages, seniority preferences and evaluation procedures, among many other issues.

Although Walker’s intentions for the passage of the bill were fi scal reform, targeting public service workers, par-

ticularly teachers, causes more harm than good and negatively impact students’ edu-cation.

Too often teachers unions are por-trayed by media as greedy alliances look-ing to boost their vacation days and gain cushy benefi ts and threaten strikes if not satisfi ed with their salary.

But the reality is that once one cal-culates how many hours teachers actu-ally spend preparing for class, their pay is nearly cut in half.

Additionally, according to the president of St. Louis Park’s teacher’s union, Ann Jurewicz, unions function to protect the profession of teaching. When teachers are paid well and have reasonable benefi ts, schools attract better in-dividuals to the profession and encourage good teachers to stay. Without collective bargaining it would be every teacher for his or herself to ensure proper pay.

While unions protect conditions for teachers, they also

benefi t students. A study done by Paul Grimes and Charles Register in the Journal of Economic Education on unions and student achievement, they found school districts with unionized teach-ers had higher SAT and ACT test scores and students of color scored 13 percent higher on standardized tests than students of color in non-unionized districts.

Jurewicz attributes this correlation not as di-rect actions taken by unions, but the fact that collective bargaining and protection of pay en-courages good teachers to remain in a district,

which accounts for the increase in test scores. Additionally the right to unionize is a fundamental right

present in democratized societies. Limiting the right to unionize restricts liberties by not allowing people to group themselves in order to protect working conditions.

In order to protect teachers, students and basic liberties, the right to unionize and collectively bargain should remain fi rmly intact.

%he crack of bat hitting ball cues the eruption of cheers from the bleach-

ers. Gophers’ junior AJ Pettersen speeds around fi rst base and slides easily into second, barely glancing over his shoulder because he knows he has a clean double.

Although moments like this were rare after an exciting fi rst inning in the game against Purdue, the Gophers managed to pull off a 4-1 win April 2.

Purdue’s only run came from a seem-ingly endless fi fth inning jam, with a series of walks enabling junior Barrett Serrato to triumphantly cross home plate, kissing his hands and reaching for the sky.

Despite the slow pace of college base-

ball, I found myself enjoying the time.While tickets for two rows behind the

opposing team’s dugout usually go for $69 at a Twins game, my $10 entrance fee got me so close behind Purdue’s dugout I could almost smell the sweat of the players inside — certainly making it worth every penny.

Plus, the beauty of Target Field, the Gophers’ home stadium, makes any event there rewarding.

With only 5,000 people attending a Gopher game, the presence of a few friends make it the perfect place to enjoy a sum-mer day.

Although the time passes slowly and the games aren’t as impressive or exciting as a Twins game, the $10 general admission makes it worthwhile.

1innesota’s women’s tackle football team works very hard to be taken seri-

ously. Even so, everyone present can’t seem to help enjoying themselves.

After a Vixen punt to their opponents the Iowa Crush, the ball took a fortunate bounce and Vixen Angela Griffi n shooed it downfi eld like a pet. The bleachers shook as the crowd stomped and laughed. But one play later, Crush quarterback Jenifer McIntire landed at the bottom of a Vixen mob when they broke through the offensive line and sacked her. This is no powder puff game; the Vixen play with NFL rules.

Watching from the bleachers, the player’s voices and stature are the only way to tell that the athletes in full pads are women. Then again, some look like they’d would fi t

perfectly into the Vikings’ Williams Wall.Women’s football is also a slower game

lacking explosive offenses, but the running backs entertainingly draw out plays by elud-ing tackles far longer than any NFL player.

As for the passing game, it’s almost nonexistent. The Vixen only completed two passes in the fi rst half. But the fi rst, a beauti-ful “out” route for a 30-yard gain, brought the crowd to its feet in a wild cheer that far exceeded the 200 or so people in attendance. The Vixen prove the best part of watching football is the emotion.

As the NFL lockout threatens to derail the upcoming season, the Vixen, which is player owned, play on and even invite their fans to their afterparty down the road.

Refreshingly, it seems the only reason these women keep playing is for the love of the game.
