isa Harder, a senior at West passed away Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012 after a three year battle with osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer.

Break closed- furlough day No school and district offices are closed

ast year, students in the Salem-Keizer school district must have noticed--and enjoyed!--an abundance of three day weekends dispersed within the school year. Students also must have heard the funny word furlough at least once or twice, and something about winter break

breakdown of what all this means. What are furlough days? Furlough days are days where all school disrtict employees are off work without pay on what normally would have been a work day. Because nobody gets paid on a furlough day, the school district does not have to budget wages for the day. Why do we have furlough days?

reduce the school district budget. We are currently at a 20 million gap which the state is trying to close by cutting costs in unemployment benefits, supplies and materials and transportation, among others. How many do we have this year? This year we have 7 days. Last year it was 6. Why are my school breaks going

By clustering the furlough days near breaks, it allows families to extend trips and plan activities to take advantage of the time off in ways that are not feasible with single days spread throughout the year. For students working seasonal jobs, it might be an advantage as well, Jay Remy, Communications Director at Salem-Keizer Public Schools says.

Do you think that girls should participate in No Shave November? Ewww. No. Absolutely not. No Shave November should just be a guy thing, girls should always be shaven. Why do you participate in No Shave November? I mostly just do it because Im lazy. I hate having to shave everyday. Plus, I think it makes me look pretty manly. I didnt know that No Shave November was actually for a cause until I had already started, I thought it was just a funny game.

She Said
Eli Cordova 13
Do you think that guys should participate in No Shave November? I think that facial hair on guys is unattractive. I like it better when they are clean cut. But, I guess if its for a good cause then it can be justified. Would you ever consider participating in No Shave November? No, I dont think so. There are lots of ways to help promote a cause rather than going an entire month without shaving. I personally think that having a fundraiser would be a more effective way of raising awareness.

MOVIE REVIEW

What is it?

ness. Movember, unlike No Shave November, allows participants to shave their beard and trim their mustache. The tradition of No Shave November is viewed by some as a response to wearing pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness during the month of September.

Wreck It Ralph
Wreck It Ralph is a must see movie full of action, appealing to all ages. The movie takes place in the video game world and in the game Fix-it-Felix. Ralph plays the villain role in the game and he is getting tired of it because he doesnt get recognized as much as the hero, Fix-it Felix Junior. Ralph goes on the adventure to get a golden medal and finally be more than just a villain.The characters are perfect because of the creativity used to pick the actors that represent their voices. John C. Reilly made a great representation for Ralphs voice because his role as a comedian gave him the ability to bring to life his character. Photos courtesy of mctcampus.com

ovember is a time where ridiculously heated political debates pop up in all sorts of conversaEditor-In-Chief tions, from discussing missing homework to asking for someone to pass Victoria Schmidt the salt at the dinner table. Yes, the presidential election is enormously important, but many people take it too far.
