Most of the state-owned parks in San Diego County operated at a loss in the 2014 fiscal year and ac-cording to a new finan-cial report, seven of those parks were more than a million dollars in debt. The California State Park System has been under fire in recent years for fi-nancial mismanagement. A transition team that is part of the department is charged with changing the way it does business. A September 2013 state audit found that the park systems financ-es were in disarray, with local park districts waiting months to receive their cut of the an-nual budget. Governor Jerry Browns administration wants the departments 280 parks to generate more revenue and become less reliant on state funding. The department also estimates it has $1 bil-lion in deferred maintenance needs. In January, Gov. Brown pledged $20 million toward

that end. The park system oper-ated 274 of its 280 parks at a loss last year. The gap between what parks earned and what was spent to operate the parks was

more than $300 million state-wide. In total, the state park system brought in $114 million in revenue last year, compared to expenditures of $445 million. Richard Conn, the president of the San Diego Parks Asso-ciation said, Overnight cabin rentals could be a big source of revenues for the park, but as with parking and admis-sions fees, it will be a delicate balancing act for the state. He

added, At a time [when] its trying to make the park sys-tem more financially viable, the state also wants to make the park system more ac-

cessible and affordable for underserved communities. Outside marketing ex-pertise could help the state set the right price points to reach its goals. The systems deferred maintenance needs will be a lingering issue, and the state is eager to identify and raise additional funding streams outside what the state can collect. The department must maintain thousands of

historic buildings and objects, archaeological sites, trails, and campsites, according to a Parks Forward report. Today, the department does not have

sufficient funds for its ongoing maintenance let alone the backlog of deferred maintenance projects and capital outlay projects. In the past, bond funds have paid for capital proj-ects, but those funds will be spent before the end of the decade. Peter Jensen, presi-dent of the Torrey Pines Association said,...its expensive to have parks and there isnt enough tax revenue allocated

for it. In line with Parks For-wards recommendations, the state plans to develop a net-work of nonprofit partners to help shore up funding gaps, in-cluding Parks California, a yet-to-be formed nonprofit that is expected to collect and distrib-ute funds from government programs and private donors. The debt is huge and hard to re-cover from but hopefully fund-raisers will help bridge the gap.

The Global Leadership Con-nection in San Diego is an an-nual event that nominates ju-niors from schools around San Diego to participate in the pro-gram where they interact with various juniors in the area, learn about leadership and self-confi-dence, and apply to win schol-arships. This year, junior Lyd-ia Samuel from La Jolla High School won the Jamie Harder Scholarship as Female Youth Leader of San Diego, the highest award honored at the program. This year, La Jolla High School sent 24 nominated students to the program. When Samuel first heard of the program and de-cided to attend the program she said she didnt expect anything going into it. Going through the two seminars, Lydia thought the program was a lot of fun with

all of the activities and games we did and meeting new people from other schools. Her favorite speaker was Dr. Jeffery Rutgard, a La Jol-lan who is the only interna-tional humanitarian oph-thalmologist in the world. Samuel said, he helps the blind who cant afford the eye surgery they need, and thats what I want to do and [is] my goal in life. Going through the program, one of the main aspects is to also try and win a scholarship giv-en by the program directors. There was an applica-tion and interview process that every student needed to undergo in order to be el-igible to win a scholarship. Samuel said she thought she wouldnt win anything. I was

just excited that I was actually chosen to be a part of the pro-gram. On the day of the award ceremony, though, Samuel was called upon as the winner of the Jamie Harder Scholar-ship, receiving a $500 schol-arship to the college where she will attend and a two week paid vacation to Washington, DC, to go through the GLC experience and visit many sites and attractions that the nations capital has to offer. Asking Carole Harder, the executive director of Glob-al Leadership Connection, about Lydia Samuel and how she was chosen to win the Ja-mie Harder scholarship, she said, Lydia [Samuel] had high scores on her application and interview.

ing. During the Leadership Conference she was polite, positive, and caring. She was friendly and kind to other stu-dents and to the adults in the room. She was very enthusi-astic and appreciative. In ad-dition, Samuel is on the var-sity track and field team and has her own business of sell-ing her own jewelry that she doesnt use anymore, which she started two years ago. With over 80 other students from nine different schools in the San Diego area apply-ing for the scholarship that she received, Lydia Samuel winning the scholarship is a huge honor for the school, It is a great opportunity for her and shows how she is a stand out student and young adult in the San Diego community.

When it comes to using the restroom, everyone has had their fair share of embarrass-ing stories as well as times when they simply werent al-lowed to use the restroom, which has led to less than comfortable circumstances. Here at La Jolla High, some teachers have a system in place that allows students to only leave class to use the restroom four or five times a semester. If all or some of the passes are left over at the end of the semester, the student is rewarded with extra credit (up to one percent added to the overall grade). This potty system is ab-solutely ridiculous. Teachers should not be allowed to con-trol how often students are able to use the restroom. The main purpose of these passes is to limit the time in which students miss instructional minutes and to stop students from abusing the restroom passes. These types of poli-cies, however, punish students. As a student in two consec-utive classes that have limited restroom passes, I am dis-

Drinking Age Controversy

By Mary DentzStaff Writer

Its July 17, 1984. President Ronald Reagan signs the Na-tional Minimum Drinking Age Act. It is a law that enforc-es states to raise the drinking age to 21 or withstand a ten percent cut from their feder-al highway funding. The USA has had a roller coaster of an experience with its legislation concerning the drinking age. Most states have always had a drinking age of 21. The big exception was during Prohi-bition, when alcohol became illegal and no one in the USA, no matter what their age, was allowed to drink. Then came the good old 60s. Along with the increase in student activ-ism against the Vietnam War, the voting age was decreased from 21 to 18. A few states lowered their drinking ages to 18, but during the fateful year of 1984, Reagan solidified things to what they are today. I have returned from Spain as a foreign exchange student where, as an 18-year-old, I was completely free and not pros-ecuted for drinking alcohol. There are some comparisons to be made between Europe and the USA that I came to

notice which perplexed me. A citizen of this country must be over 21 in order to pur-chase or consume alcohol. Physiologically speaking, the human body does not devel-op completely into an adult until 21 years of age. Yet the USA says that you are an adult and may vote and even die for your country at 18; that at 18 you are just close enough to being, mentally and physical-ly, prepared to kill someone... but not old enough to drink? That is just too odd. The law says you must be at least 18 to be licensed to drive; how-ever, here in our fair state of California, a child of a mere 15 and years of age can be-gin to drive. In Spain, there is no fear of underage drinking because few people abuse it. Its like when someone tells you not to do something: you are more likely to do it out of spite. This begs the question, on a scale of importance to the American public: do we con-sider driving less dangerous than going to war, and war less dangerous than drinking? It may seem a little redun-dant when you look at it, but it doesnt mean that the USA has to be as unaware of these truths as we may seem.

couraged to use the restroom when I need to go because, who knows, maybe I will need that extra one percent at the end of the semester. Because of this possible need, I am forced to lower my water in-take during these periods so that I wont have to use the restroom and waste a pass. Lets be real here. If I wont use my passes because I want insurance for my grade, and yet I really need to use the restroom, Im going to be fo-cusing on how much I need to go instead of what I am sup-posed to be learning in class. I have to deal with this every-day, and I feel that it is wrong to make a student choose be-tween their health and their grade. One percent can make a difference between two let-ter grades. If a teacher wants to give students a chance at extra credit, it should be done in an academic man-ner instead of through ex-tra credit policies like these. These passes are a hindrance as well as a health hazard to all students at La Jolla High. My intention is to not get into potty talk here, but when you gotta go, you gotta go.

The Restricting Potty System

With great power comes great responsibility, or so goes the old adage. It sure seems sur-prisingly relevant at La Jolla High School, where we have been witnessing an increasing trend of students exercising their right to post on the Free Speech Bulletin Board (FSBB). Starting in December, LJHS experienced a sudden explo-sion of student posters that caused lots of morning chatter near the senior benches. Every-thing from satirical criticisms of the administration to links for students SoundClouds were seen and snapchatted by many. However, it has not gone unnoticed that many of the posters, whether they could be considered positive or neg-ative, have been removed pre-maturely, rather than staying up for the two week duration mandated under the now infa-mous 2011 ACLU settlement. I spoke with some students about the posters last week and the general consensus was that the FSBB is a space individual to LJHS character and should be protected. A lot of students

said they didnt appreciate seeing what was called hate speech posters on the wall on March 3. The following day, posters on the wall even read, Free Speech Board doesnt mean Free Hate Board. Branding certain things as hate speech, however, isnt legally or socially viable. The ACLU says on its website that speech that deeply offends our morality or is hostile to our way of life warrants the same constitutional protection as other speech because the right of free speech is indivisible. That means that even if some-thing is considered offensive by almost everyone who sees it, it still falls under free speech and cannot be torn down, no mat-ter how poorly it may reflect on the school as a whole. I know many teachers and students strongly disagree with this view, so permit me to explain. The term hate speech is nearly impossible to define, because it varies so widely de-pending on who youre talking to. For every student or teach-er who found recent posters outrageous and disrespectful, I could talk to another stu-dent or teacher who said they thought they were absolutely

hilarious. It proved nearly as po-larizing as the black-and-blue (not white-and-gold!) dress. Even if you absolutely ab-hor a certain poster, tearing it down doesnt create a more positive environment at our school. Instead, it likely makes students who utilize the FSBB feel more controlled or like they arent being heard, and therefore more likely to con-tinue posting similar content. Instead, students and teach-ers should be encouraged to put up posters that address the issue from their point of view. For instance, in the wake of the big display of posters about Dr. Podhorsky in ear-ly March (which was almost entirely removed by lunch), many other students put up posters opposing those views, both directly and indirectly. One example are the post-ers put up by the AVID class stating that it did not agree with what had been expressed about the principal. A day lat-er, upbeat posters appeared about teachers or classes with the tag #LoveLaJolla. No matter what anyone feels about a specific posters con-tent, students at LJHS have a legal right to be able to post

all their ideas (whether rude or sappy) with the expectation that their poster will remain up, even if every single other per-son on campus cant stand it. Everyone who participates in free speech at LJHS has an unofficial social obligation to be responsible with what they put onto the FSBB. But even if we disagree with a poster or dont think a poster is re-sponsible, we cant respond by showing childishness and irresponsibility by removing it. We should actively en-courage openness, toler-ation, and individualism of all ideas on the FSBB. I hope that as a campus we can re-purpose the free-speech area into a unique and constructive feature of our school (regard-less of whether student post-ers are considered positive) by taking a more open, rath-er than oppressive, approach. You might disagree with ev-ery single word in this arti-cle, or you might think its the greatest piece of writing since they came up with the screen-play for Goldfinger. Maybe you hate Goldfinger. As long as you permit me to express my views, youre more than welcome to express your own.

No Way to Recover From a Bad Grade By Vivi BonomieStaff Writer In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 17-year-old Samantha Elauf applied for a job at an Abercrombie and Fitch Kids store and was rejected for wearing a black headscarf. As a Muslim wom-an, this headscarf is part of her religion and culture, so she was clearly shocked when she realized that she wasnt hired because she didnt match Abercrombies look policy. The part of the policy men-tioning head scarves was removed once Elauf took legal action. The case has now reached the Supreme Court and a decision will be made by the end of June. The fact that Abercrom-bie is still in business amazes me. After the scandal where the less-than-attractive CEO mentioned that only thin and beautiful people should wear their clothes, it became appar-

ent to me that this would not be the kind of place I would ever set foot in again. This case only aids in my dislike for the over-priced brand. When a 17-year-old girl is looking for a job, she is al-ready nervous enough about the application process, the interview, and all other things that may stand in the way of her and that job. Religion should not have to be anoth-er thing to add to that list. Besides the fact that this is clear discrimination, it is sim-ply ridiculous for stores to have look policies when it comes to their workers. If a store is trying to target skinny peo-ple, then they deserve the bad press they are going to receive. Too many girls are already insecure about themselves and their bodies. The last thing we need is for stores to reject them based on their appear-ances instead of their skills.

Why is it that some cultures are more celebrated than oth-ers? Cesar Chavez Day is sup-posed to be observed every March 31st, Chavezs birth-day. The date is a state holi-day in California, and Presi-dent Obama gave his support for it becoming a national holiday in 2008. This, how-ever, has not yet happened. Even though Latinos form a big part of Californias pop-ulation and culture, Cesar Chavez is the only Latino to have a day observed in his honor in California. Cesar Chavez Day does not receive as much attention as oth-er state or national holidays. Students are taught in school from a very early age about the importance of diversi-ty and tolerance, using crafts and projects to learn about the countrys most significant leaders. As they get older, un-fortunately, they begin to real-ize that many events of cultural importance are not celebrated. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, celebrated on January 19th, is one of the most recognized and celebrated national holi-days, worthy of parades, TV specials, and even a day off in school and work. Black Histo-ry Month is celebrated on the adjacent month of February. It is important to celebrate the different cultures in the United States, but it is also im-portant to acknowledge more

than what we currently do. May is Asian-Pacific Her-itage Month, but many peo-ple are not aware of this and most schools do little to rec-ognize it. Just as Cinco de Mayo is not the only Latino holiday, Chinese New Year is not the only Asian holiday. Schools also do little to rec-ognize Filipino American History Month (October) and Native American Her-itage Month (November). If we are to observe and cel-ebrate different heritages, we might as well consider taking the chance of learning about as many as we can. The current, clear lack of cultural represen-tation will eventually lead to ig-norance in future generations, who through silence are being taught to disregard the tra-ditions from our forefathers. Although Black History Month is important to remem-ber, so are the months dedicat-ed to other cultures. Heritage should be celebrated every day. In some peoples minds, Cesar Chavez was just as import-ant as Martin Luther King, Jr. In a culturally diverse school, such as La Jolla High, it is ex-tremely relevant to be proud of who we are and where we come from. We should be proud of our ancestors and the rich traditions and customs that are given to us at birth. If there is not a day dedicated to every culture, these unique and personal traditions and customs may be lost forever.

Each year, high schools across the country celebrate Red Rib-bon Week, a week that is ded-icated to alcohol, drug, and violence prevention aware-ness. La Jolla High School did a great deal for the campaign. ASB hung posters all around school with catchy phras-es against drink-ing and smoking. The ASB brought in Scott H. Silver-man for an assem-bly to discuss his personal challeng-es with drugs and drinking. During this assembly, Sil-verman explained how he overcame these challenges to become the success-ful man he is today. The ASB even hung cute red ribbons on doors through-out the campus to symbolize Red Ribbon Week awareness. Though LJHS went through all of these measures to make students more aware of alco-hol and substance abuse, the question remains: Does it real-ly have any affect on students? Now, Im not trying to be a bad person or make ASB look bad in any way. It is hard try-ing to organize a school full

of teenagers to focus and lis-ten to anything, especially on a topic that everyone knows about. Its just that we all know the horrible implications that occur with overdosing and drinking, so just telling us that over and over again wont help change our evil ways. Every high school deals with drug and alcohol problems. Many students, because of

peer pressure, partying, curi-osity, or just wanting to rebel from authority, have tried al-cohol or drugs. To be perfectly honest, many students at our school do drink, smoke, and do drugs, and having an adult tell them not to do it will not sway them away from this. One week of posters and having a middle-aged man talking to us about how he went rock-bot-tom because of drinking and alcohol abuse to publishing his

own book about stopping his addiction will not change the minds of many teenagers. We really do not know if this one week of awareness does anything to prevent drug and alcohol abuse. May-be this assembly had value for those students who did not already know about the horrors of drug and alcohol abuse, but, then again, every

student grew up being told not to drink, smoke, or do drugs. And yet many of these same students now participate in those activities. Drinking and doing drugs are realities of life that are dif-ficult to block out when we are

growing up. We all get ex-posed in some way to these things, whether it is through the media or in our own lives. To change how often teen-agers are exposed to alcohol and drugs would require our entire country to limit drugs and alcohol everywhere, and that is near impossible. In short, the idea of Red Rib-bon Week is great, but the overall, the effectiveness of the campaign is debatable.

We really do not know if this one-week of awareness does any-thing to prevent drug

and alcohol abuse.

Grades are always a harsh topic with students. No stu-dent wants to face the reality of their possible failures. In spite of this, the idea of ex-tra credit was created in or-der to give students auxiliary opportunities to show skill or staunchness of their abil-ity in a particular subject. This sounds like an excel-lent way to offer students some relief amidst the stress of testing. Although this seems like something that should be widely accept-ed, some people doubt what these opportunities pertain to. For instance, some teachers have gone so far as to offer

students additional credit for attending certain spirit events or dances, most or all of which require the purchase of a ticket. While in this case the extra credit does not pertain to the actual subject matter of the class, the purpose of achiev-ing the credit is to push stu-dents to go beyond their own social comfort zones. This sounds unimportant, but in general, making connections is one of the most important things, and what better place to do it than a social spirited event where all are accepted? One teacher in specific, Mr. Teachworth, gave some insight as to why he offers certain ex-tra-credit assignments: By me making the dances, the sporting events, the plays [worth extra

credit], it gives the kids that might not otherwise have a reason to go. He also went on to emphasize the impor-tance of having fun in high school, which he felt was un-realized by many who focus only on the importance of grades. In the end, the extra credit does not affect the stu-dents greater knowledge, but the overall education experi-ence can be appreciated more. It is no secret that some high school students would consider the majority of their teachers mundane in the abil-ity to teach. That being said, any teacher offering bonus opportunities that force stu-dents to go outside their com-fort zones should definitely be looked at in a different light.

Who really reads real books anymore? In modern times, the literal book is becoming old-fashioned, and reading, a lost art. There are individuals out there, how-ever, who are trying to keep the hobby alive. Have you ever spotted a doll house-like struc-ture filled with works of liter-ature around Bird Rock, across from our school on Draper Avenue, in the greater San Diego area, or even in another city? Well, they are called Little Free Libraries and there is a real organization behind it all. Back in 2009, Todd Bol from Wisconsin came up with a de-sign for a small model of a house which he would fill with books. Once complete, he placed this model out in his front yard with a sign stating Free

Books. He was inspired to make and continue this DIY project by his mother, a former schoolteacher, who absolutely loved reading. Eventually, Bols creations were recognized by

someone who wanted to take the project to the next level. Rick Brooks, a man very knowledgeable in the field of social networking and mar-keting, partnered with Bol to spread the word of this cre-ative enterprise. They even-tually sparked a movement of free, little libraries worldwide. According to the organiza-

tions website, littlefreelibrary.org, the goal is to promote literacy and the love of reading and encourage a better sense of community in all neigh-borhoods. Since we current-

ly live in a time period where everything re-volves around technology and everyone seems to have their eyes glued to their screens, its reassuring to have that sense of community in which there is distance from such habits. A year ago, it was estimat-ed that there are around 15,000 Lit-

tle Free Libraries around the world. There are almost 24 locations of Little Li-braries in San Diego alone. Not all Little Libraries look like houses; some are in the form of a VW Bus, a telephone booth, or some other creative and unique shape. Interested in building your own Little Free Library?

There is something to say about brewing a pot of coffee at home, but theres more fun in going to a caf. Its all about the coffee served, the vibe of the location, and the aesthetic of the space. No matter where you go, its pretty much guaran-teed there will be access to a cup of coffee in the area. There are quite a few places that stand out in San Di-ego, in terms of the coffee department.

Pannikin Coffee & Tea 7467 Girard Ave. (2 minutes from school) With all Pannikins little nooks and crannies, it cer-tainly feels like a home away from home. Senior and two year Pannikin employee Lexe Mc-Cally says it is her favorite coffee shop not because the coffee is better than other coffee shops Ive been to, because you can certainly find better coffee, and tea, and food, but the atmosphere there is very re-laxed, there is no pressure. The way that Pannikin works is different than any other caf because each barista works separately and has their individual cus-tomer at once, so its more personable. McCally adds that Pannikin is also great because you can have a homeless guy come in and order a cof-fee and you can also have Scott Peters come into the caf, so you can have some one who is so wealthy and someone who has no money at all and lives on the street. They can both come in to the same place, order the same drink, and still hand you the same amount of money, and that connection is what is great about it. Theres no judgment at Pannikin.

Bird RockCoffee Roasters

5627 La Jolla Blvd. (5 minutes from school)

Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is probably one of the better-known coffee shops for us La Jollans. Its per-fect if you are looking for the perfect place to sit and chat or do homework near the fresh ocean air. There is also a Little Italy location on Kettner Blvd., however, the La Jolla Blvd. one is much closer to school. They serve the typical coffee options, plus some funky flavored ones, and a few pastries from local bakeries.

Java Earth Caf4978 Cass St.

(8 minutes from school)

This is the one coffee shop I would say is the perfect mix between good coffee and delicious food. They have a wonderful, wide selection menu for breakfast or lunch. I highly recommend the bagels and paninis. Not only do they have the usual coffee styles, they also carry a unique variety of teas. Oh, and if this is your kind of thing, they have a great blended Mat-cha Tea that tastes exactly like the blended Green Tea Boba from Urth Caffe in Los Angeles, minus the tap-ioca pearls. Whether it is before or after your thrift shopping in PB, Java Earth is the perfect stop for a pick-me-up.

Coffee & Tea Collective 631 9th Avenue. (22 minutes from school)

The ultimate groovster joint, Coffee & Tea Col-lective has just opened its second location in the East Village of Downtown San Diego. Their original store-front of three years, in North Park on El Cajon Blvd., has an outstanding aesthetic, a clean atmosphere, and an attractive feel. Audrey Chan likes how its really quiet and peace-ful, so you can get some work done there. And they have great waffles. With bold artwork and lettering on the front of the building at their new location, Coffee & Tea Collective is sure to be the fresh center of coffee culture. The warehouse-like space continues to contribute to the creative feel. The space is shared with a new cold-pressed juice shop, called Juice Saves. For a great vibe, and even better coffee, stop by Cof-fee & Tea Collective. They have a wide selection of beans from a multitude of countries.

Cafe Moto 2619 National Ave. (22 minutes from school)In an area where not a lot is going on, Cafe Moto is a gem. Coming across as tiny coffee shop when walking in through the front, new customers will be amazed that there is a whole back where customers can buy any product related to coffee, including different va-rieties of roasted beans and a wide array of brewing machines. This company, roasting since 1968, proudly uses or-ganic milk and cream with their all their drinks. I highly recommend their pour overs because the gases escape more slowly, creating a smoother more delicate cup of coffee.

James Coffee Co. 2355 India St.

19 minutes from schoolLocated under the trail of landing airplanes, James

Coffee Co. is in a large, warehouse-like space. When you walk into the building, there are a few small boutiques on either side, selling leather goods, sun-glasses, etc. There is an open space with a couple of tiny tables surrounding the coffee bar. The aura of the shop is groovy and makes you feel like you are in Los Angeles or New York. This small, independent company roasts on a fully electric roaster releasing zero emissions into the atmosphere. I ordered a lat-t, which came in a Gibraltar glass, and was beyond satisfied. The taste was smooth and had no bitterness.

For some students who have played a certain sport for a long period of time, its inevi-table that colleges will want to recruit them. This process con-sists of a college coach reaching out to an athlete, or an athlete reaching out to a coach. There are usually athletic scholar-ships involved that each ath-lete, and their respective sports program, will continue to maintain as long as the athlete meets the admission require-ments. There are a handful of athletes at La Jolla High who have committed to schools to continue playing the sport they love at the college level.

Junior Chloe Luyties has committed to the University of Hawaii for Sand Volley-ball, and plans on majoring in Marine Biology. Chloes decision was influenced by her dad, who won an Olym-pic Gold Medal for volleyball and the fact that she couldnt play the sport in her previ-ous home state of Mississippi. Chloe wants to go profes-sionally for volleyball, because her dad took did so, The Olympics would obviously be awesome, but well see. Her

best memory from over the years would have to be win-ning the AA Tournament with Riley Young because that was the first womens tourna-ment she played in. In terms of her worst memory, Ive gotten hit in the face plen-ty of times. Thats never fun.

Senior Lillian Rafetto, who committed to Dartmouth Col-lege in New Hampshire, has played soccer since the age of 6. She plans on majoring inhistory and doesnt want to pursue the sport professionally. Her parents didnt play soc-cer, which was part of the rea-son it was the sport she picked. Lillians favorite part about playing soccer is how there is kind of like a dynamic to it, like you have to be all into it oth-erwise you are out of the flow and it doesnt work as well. Luckily, all of the good mem-ories playing soccer have out-weighed any bad memories. Abby Waldburger, current-ly a junior, has committed to the University of California, Berkeley, or Cal, for Sand Vol-leyball. Ive been contacting schools since September and

Cal has been my top choice the entire time, and I went up to go visit 2 weeks ago and things just kind of happened. Although she just started play-ing Sand Volleyball this year, Abby has played volleyball since 7th grade. Before vol-leyball, Abby used to swim only because her brother did, when in reality she absolute-ly hated it. Swim wasnt real-ly her thing, mainly because it was an independent sport. Her favorite part about play-ing volleyball would have to be the team aspect. Even though there are only two of you in doubles like sand volleyball, its better to have someone be on your side. Also, it seems to be in her blood, as her parents met playing Sand Volleyball.

When asked if there was ever a point where she thought she was going to quit, Abby said she wasnt quite sure if she was going to continue this year be-cause she didnt make her club indoor team at Coast. Through the frustration and sadness, Abby decided to play sand only, which is now a NCAA

sport. Her goal is to play some pro-tournaments out of college, which is pretty competitive.

Football player and senior Reid Martin has committed to the University of Chicago. It all began in the summer be-fore his freshman year when some of his friends were go-ing to try out for the team and his dad wanted him to try out. Over the years, hes made great memories like listening to the song More Than a Woman by the Bee Gees in the locker room, rap battles, and roast-ing sessions. Reid loved play-ing football through his high school career because he got to make a ton of friends that he wouldve never met other-wise. A lot of my best friends from high school have been guys Ive met on that team. When the team got a new coach during Reids junior year, the first day of prac-tice was so hard and difficult, it made him doubt whether or not he wanted to contin-ue playing, but he is glad he persevered. His worst mem-ory was breaking his foot last summer before his senior year.

MarchMadness

By Joseph CarrollStaff Writer March Madness is an annu-al basketball tournament fea-turing the NCAA D1 college basketball teams. It is a sin-gle elimination tournament with six rounds, and it begins with 64 teams total. Once a team loses, they are out of the tournament and the winner goes on to compete in the next round. The top 16 are known as the Sweet Sixteen, the top eight as the Elite Eight, and the top four as the Final Four. The winner of the tournament in 2014 was the University of Connecticut, and in the finals they played against University of Kentucky. U Conn was giv-en a seventh seed at the begin-ning of the tournament. This was the first time a team given a seventh seed made it to the championship game and won. Last year, Warren Buffett of-fered one billion dollars to any-one who correctly predicted the outcome of every single game. The first 32 games are preset. In a bracket, an individual can predict what team wins which game, continuing this pro-cess until they have a winner. According to math professor Tim Chartier, the chances of someone predicting every sin-gle game right is 1 in trillions. No one in 2014 was able to predict every single game right; Buffett, however, gave one hundred thousand dol-lars to all that submitted a bracket that was in the top 20. This year, the tournament will begin on March 17 and will be held throughout 14 cities across the country. Fans can watch the games on TV or on the Internet.

High school athletes decide to pursue their sports on a collegiate level

March 13, 2015 SPORTS Hi-Tide9

It all started with the Spanos family, the family who owns the Chargers. They have been asking for a new stadium for the Chargers for over 10 years. However, this new stadium would cost over $1 billion. According to UT San Di-ego, in 2004 it was estimated that if the new stadium were at the Qualcomm site in Mis-sion Valley, it would bring in $15 million per year to the city of San Diego. However even with that income and with a total gross increase of around

$50 million, it still wouldnt be enough to pay for the new sta-dium, let alone raise revenue. The Raiders had a similar di-lemma on their hands, so both teams decided to join forces and share a new stadium if they couldnt find new ones of their own. The New York Times revealed that the two teams are considering build-ing the stadium for $1.7 billion near the 405 freeway in Car-son, California, 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. This situation could have pos-itive and negative repercus-sions for both teams involved.

The traffic around the stadium could be bad but on the up-side, they would both get the new stadium that they have been trying to get for years. According to ESPN, the Char-gers were the first to get the Carson stadium proposal 9-10 months ago and the Raiders joined in later, which intensi-fied after St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke announced plans in January to build an 80,000-seat stadium in Inglewood. Sharing a stadium has worked once before, with the New York Jets and the New York Giants, who have been sharing their

Unfortunately, the lack of winter teams bringing home a CIF Trophy this year caused heartbreaks for the six teams, but five of them did make play-offs. After talking with the cap-tains from each sport team it seemed that they were all proud of their teammates, especially their work rate and teamwork. According to Reed Farley, captain of the mens varsity basketball team, said he loved playing with the team because he thought they were a good group of guys that always put in hard work which made it fun to be a part of. The same situ-ation occurred for the captain of the womens varsity basket-ball team, Sarah Tajran. When asked about the team this year, her response was, Ive played basketball pretty much my whole life and of all the teams Ive played on, I loved this one the most because we were such a tight unit. Sarah also stated, We started off super weak so we only had each other and we were so close. Beating UC and teams we had previously lost to was probably when we gained all our strength. It made us all stronger and better! Both our mens and womens varsity soccer teams made it to the first round of CIF and lost in a tough match. James Penner reflected and stated, From offense to defense, we improved and had better re-sults than last season. Hon-estly everyone stepped up and contributed. We played best when everyone played well and together. In our playoff loss, we didnt do either and, combined with some bad calls by the ref, our season ended too soon. He says that the highlight of their season was beating Cathedral Catholic on

their senior night because he thought that the whole team played well together with the leadership and wisdom of the senior players. On the womens team, captain Lillian Raffetto commented when asked about highlights from the season, Beating Bishops was a huge win for us, and it was really the turning point in the season. Lillian also said, Jess Penner and Maddie Lavelle stepped up big time in the midfield and helped create scoring op-portunities. Sophia Bourne played a huge role in the de-fense even though her natural position is up top. When we moved Sophia into the back, we started winning games. According to senior Addison Seale, captain of the womens water polo team, the goals for the season were just to have fun, work hard, and make great memories with the team. When asked if there were any star players that brought up the team this year, Addisons response was, We all worked hard as a team the whole year! As captain, Jake Harvey thought that the mens varsi-ty wrestling team was greatly improving and rebuilding the program after losing many senior last year and getting a new head coach. When asked how the team approached matches, Jake quoted head coach Kellen Delaney, saying, Every team opposes you. He continued, Our team approached every single deal with a fire and an excitement that I havent seen in a while. Overall the six teams worked hard to beat many good teams. This year, each team worked ex-tremely hard to bring back the fiery reputations that the LJHS sports teams had in previous years. Great season, Vikings!

stadium for the past 30 years. However, they are in sepa-rate divisions, while the Char-gers and the Raiders are in the same Division, which could further complicate the issue. Because the Chargers and the Raiders both play in the AFC (American Football League) West, one of the two teams would likely be required to swap places with a team from the NFC (National Football Conference) West. As stated by Business Insider, the two teams cannot be in the same division and overall, this is a big deal because not only

are the teams bitter rivals, but unlike the New York teams, which play each other just once every four years, the Raiders and the Chargers play each other twice every year. However, UT San Diego mentions one good aspect about the switch in divisions. It would not only termi-nate a rivalry that predates to 1960 but likewise ends rival-ries that are over 50 years old between the team. Although some of the rivalries would be settled, some prevalent ri-vals, including the Chiefs and the Broncos, would remain.

erage. On top of that, when the story was shared, the names of the three victims were left un-said and people became angry, one tweet had a picture of Deah and Yusor on their wedding day with the caption, Remem-ber them like this. Deah and Yusor had names, dreams, and families #MuslimLivesMatter. People also exclaimed their outrage at the fact that the word terrorist wasnt used to describe Hicks. Tweets were sent out arguing how quickly people referred to the killers in the Charlie Hebdo shoot-ing as terrorists but refused to do the same for Hicks be-cause he is not Muslim but instead, a white Christian male. One tweet read, Ter-rorism has no religion. This event is an example of that.

Islamophobia was orig-inally defined by the 1991 Runnymede Trust Report as the unfounded hostility to-wards Muslims, and there-fore fear or dislike of all or most Muslims. Islamophobia came into the spotlight af-ter the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on Sep-tember 11, 2001, by Muslim extremist group Al-Qaeda. For many different reasons from increased ISIS activity to Je Suis Charlie to the Os-car-nominated film American Sniper, there has recently been an increase in Islamophobic sentiment around the world. On February 10, 2015, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, a

college student at the UNC School of Dentistry his wife and fellow student, Yusor Mo-hammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her younger sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Sal-ha, 19, were all shot and killed in their home. Po-lice arrested their neighbor, Craig Stephen Hicks, 42, and released a statement saying, Preliminary in-vestigation indicates that the crime was motivat-ed by an ongoing neigh-bor dispute over parking. While the police never ruled out religious motivation, it was also not discussed. The father of the two girls, Mohammad Abu-Salha said told CNN, We have no doubt that the way they looked and the way they believed had something

to do with this. He added that trouble with Hicks didnt start until Yusor moved in, with Barakat who wore the head-

scarf that clearly identified her as Muslim. His daugh-ter had spoken to him before about two different occasions in which Hicks knocked on their door looking for a fight with a gun in his belt. She told her father, I think he hates

ISLAMOPHOBIABy Vivi BonomieStaff Writer

This past month, The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in Jupiter, Florida, announced the creation of a novel drug candidate against HIV so po-tent and effective that the dis-covery could work as part of an unconventional vaccine for HIV. This new drug blocked every strain of HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV (simian immunode-ficiency virus), including the variants most difficult to block. The drug additionally of-fers protection against dos-es of the virus higher than what normally occur in hu-man transmission for at least eight months after injection. Due to the fact that HIV and

The Chapel Hill Shoot-ing spurred a media frenzy in the defense for Muslim lives. Although Islamopho-bia is present in everyday life, there are also many people trying to combat Islamopho-bia. In places such as Canada and Australia, social exper-iments are being conducted to gage how people react to different situations regarding Muslims and Islamophobia. In October 2014, there was a shooting in Canada in Par-liament Hill, Ottawa, by a Muslim man. A week after this event, three men set out

to do a social experiment in which a white actor harass-es a Muslim actor, in order to record peoples reactions. The response was immediate; peo-ple quickly stood up for the Muslim actor one man told the white actor- You know what? You cant stereotype and judge people by their clothes or their nationalities or any-thing else what happened there [at the shooting] was an incident of fanatics. Everybody cannot be punished for that. Another bystander even ended up punching the white actor in the face, resulting in

us for who we are and how we look. A university spokesper-son shared that at least 2,500 people attended a vigil held the

day after the shooting, on the university cam-pus. These three bright students had high aspi-rations and hope; they were avid members of the community and of-ten fought to give back to those less fortunate. This event sparked the hashtags Mus-limLivesMatter and

JusticeForMuslims, which quickly rose and became the most trending topic on Twitter. Media outlets everywhere were also accused of islamophobic standards when this incident did not receive expected and anticipated levels of media cov-

Over in Australia, the Mac-quarie University Muslim Students Association (MUM-SA) created a social experi-

ment of their own. Similar to the previous one, they had an actor publicly harass Muslim girls, who were also actors, and a young boy in the middle of Hyde Park, Sydney. The actor yelled and even attempted to look in their bags for bombs. Reactions were similar with people of all different rac-es, genders and ages, coming to the defense of the victims. A second social experiment conducted in Canada involved a man standing on a street in Toronto, blindfolded with his arms outstretched. He had two signs next to him that read, I

am a Muslim. I am labeled as a terrorist and I trust you. Do you trust me? Give me a hug. The heartwarming clips show random strangers com-ing up to him and doing ex-actly what the posters asked. This three-minute video was posted on YouTube on Janu-ary 31, 2015, with the caption, Islam means peacewe wish to break down barriers and spread awareness about Islam-ophobia. The video now has over one million views and has been recognized all over the world as a small step toward the elimination of Islamophobia.

One Step Closer to Tolerance

AIDS have killed thousands of people across the globe and have one of the highest fatality rate of any disease, this development has been met with great excitement. AIDS is very dangerous be-cause of its method of attack. It kills your immune system. With your immune system gone, now even the slight-est cold is life threatening. The drug has not been used in human testing yet, but as-suming all goes well, there is an excellent chance that this miracle drug could save thousands of lives. It operates by using gene therapy, which some would argue is a contro-versial method of medicine.

LJHSs AP Biology teacher had her own say on things: If we can come up with that, thatd be great, said Mrs. Tenenbaum. The problem is that HIV is a mutating virus, so thats a stumbling block. A mutating virus is able to change itself to get around obstacles, like vaccines. When asked about how realistic this drug being created could be, she responded, Its still huge to go from monkeys to hu-mans. What they are devel-oping is different than other vaccines. This is not your nor-mal vaccine. Theyre targeting the actual virus, not training your Immune System. There is no date set for human trials.

President Obamas new im-migration plan as of Febru-ary 16, 2015, has been halted. Obamas plan, which is gen-erally referred to as depor-tation relief for immigrants, was created in order to pro-vide immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children with the eligibili-ty for relief from deportation. According to the Chicago Tribune, this plan would also provide relief from deportation for up to 5 million immigrants that do not have legal sta-tus or do not qualify to apply for temporary work permits. This plan has been post-poned due to U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanens rul-ing. Hanen voted against the program because he believes

that the administration had exceeded their authority by inserting itself in this issue. In addition to Judge Hanens ruling, Republicans will cut the funding for The Depart-ment of Homeland Security if the issue is not resolved. Ac-cording to the Times Union, Home Land Securities 40 bil-lion budget runs out Feb. 27. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stat-ed that he wants to avoid a temporary shut down of Homeland Security because of the fact that it could possi-bly cause a political disaster. The hold up on the depor-tation relief program has yet to be solved and is continu-ing to cause conflict between Republicans and Democrats.Despite that this issue remains unresolved, funding for Home Land Security continues.

A new mural appeared in La Jolla earlier last month on the alley-facing side of 7661 Gi-rard Avenue. According to the article published in the La Jolla Light, the mural is part of the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library's "Murals of La Jol-la" project. The mural is titled "Tear Stains Be Gone" and was made by the artist Jean Lowe. It appears to be an advertisement at first glance because it says, "Tear Stain Remover. Being Human is hard, but it doesn't have to LOOK that way! Only 14.99." After reading this "advertisement," one realizes that this couldn't possibly be a real ad and must be satirical. In an interview conduct-ed by the La Jolla Light, artist Lowe stated, "I'm just play-ing with the idea that you

can buy something that's going to make you feel bet-ter or transform your life." This is quite a strange mu-ral to have in La Jolla because it does not follow exactly what one would call a mural. When most think of a piece of this nature, they think of a paint-ing that does not have words or mimic an advertisement. This mural seems like a con-troversial piece of art to have in La Jolla, a place known for having many wealthy people as residents. Could this mu-ral possibly be implying that wealthy people are truly not happy even though they are surrounded by all of these riches? According to a survey done by the La Jolla Light, the mural is widely disliked. This is most likely because of the lack of visual appeal, but it does leave one a lot to think about.

By Sophia DorfsmanStaff Writer In recent times, there has been an uprising of magazines. Not the type that are filled with advertisements and made of thin paper that rips too easily if you turn a page too hard, but magazines that revolve around the beauty of simple living, stories of cool people doing cool things, and the promo-tion of adventuring near or far. Most magazines cover a wide variety of articles, rang-ing from an interview with a chef to a personal anecdote

Although Dr. Seuss died in 1991 at 87 years old, new books based on lost writings keep being published posthu-mously, reminding us all of the beloved poet that he was. One place where his writing has been found is here in La Jolla. According to USA Today, when Seuss wife, Audrey Gei-sel was remodeling her (mount Soledad) home after his death, she found a box filled with

pages of text and sketches and set them aside with some of her husband's other materials. Mrs. Geisel found a book called What Pet Should I Get? in 1991 after he died and sub-sequently rediscovered it in 2013. She then gave it to Random House, Seuss long-time publisher. Many other pages of writings and sketch-es were found and are sus-pected to have been written/drawn between 1958 to 1962. What Pet Should I Get? fea-tures the same siblings seen

in the 1960 book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. All of Seuss discovered writings are being kept at the University of Califor-nia, San Diego, in the very distinctive and eponymous-ly named Geisel Library. According to The Huffington Post, Cathy Goldsmith, Seuss former art director said that, I know he is looking down, watching over the process, and I feel a tremendous responsi-bility to do everything just as he would have done himself.

that makes these magazines so unique and inspiring is their aesthetics. The editors and designers clearly put a great amount of thought and effort into the layout of each volume. Magazines like Kinfolk, Dar-ling Magazine, Cereal Maga-zine, Gather Journal, Week-end Almanac, Caffeine Mag, Another Escape, Oak: The Nordic Journal, Oh Come-ly, Nourished, and Tiny At-las will lure you in with their distinctive look and espe-cially exquisite photographs. Such publications are typical-ly quarterly, with their first is-sue coming out around March and their fourth issue being released right before the end of a year. A few are sold in stores like Anthropologie. Theres always the option of ordering online, too. Most magazines, in addition to the printed vol-ume, publish their articles on their website, ; however, an additional payment or sub-scription is usually required to view features on your comput-er or other electronic devices. Prices range from about $18 to $25, depending on the mag-azine. A bunch of these mag-azines are based in Europe, especially in the U.K., there-fore shipping costs are always something to keep in mind. Any of the magazines de-scribed above will make your Sunday morning and encourage you to get the most out of your day.

Music: millions listen to it each and every day. Mil-lions also stream their mu-sic on Spotify each and ev-ery day, but very few realize what is going on in the mu-sic industry when we do so. According to Spotify, each time someone streams a song the songs rights holder, usu-ally the songwriter, earns be-tween $0.0006 and $0.0084 per stream. To determine how much a rights holder is paid, Spotify multiplies its monthly earnings from sub-scriptions and then adds to that the percentage of total streams a rights holders song accounts for. From that num-ber, Spotify then takes 30% of those earnings for themselves. The additional 70% is divid-ed up between rights hold-ers, artists, and record labels.

Although it is unknown how much each artist pays their record label for licensing and distributing, we do know that the money that goes to the labels goes towards the li-censing and distribution fees. Because of Spotify, artists are making more money than they normally would if they simply released a CD of their songs. This is because there are those who are still willing to buy a CD and then those who simply want to stream certain songs. For instance, Taylor Swift was streamed half a million times per month before de-ciding to pull her music from Spotify. Drake pulled 17.3 mil-lion plays the week of his se-cret mixtape release If Youre Reading This Its Too Late. On the other hand, un-popular and unknown art-ists do not earn nearly as much money as the top 50 artists streamed on Spotify.

In 1999, the average music buyer spent nearly double the $120 yearly subscription price of Spotify on music, both in CD and vinyl format. The clos-est comparison that there is today is iTunes. The average iTunes music buyer spends $48 a year on digital music. For Spotifys $10/month fee, subscribers not only get to stream their favorite music, but they also get to do so whenev-er and wherever they want for less than they would have in 1999. There are only so many songs you listen to at a time, and you usually end up forget-ting them only months later. This is part of the reason why a Spotify subscription makes sense to so many music lovers. Through its flaws and strengths, Spotify can be seen as pop musics experimental laboratory. It may not ben-efit smaller artists so much, but it does benefit consumers.

As we all know, music festi-vals are becoming more and more popular. New ones are popping up in a wide range of different locations. The new-est up-and-coming festival for San Diego is called KAABOO. They dont, however, like to be labeled as a festival. According to the festivals website, kaa-boodelmar.com, they are a new kind of arts and entertain-ment mix-perience designed around comfort, quality, and good times. The festival is all about sand, sun, friends, and great live music. This year the event is locat-ed at the Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds. It starts on September 18th, a Friday, and ends on that Sunday, Septem-ber 20th. Each day, the perfor-mances start at eleven in the morning. Besides the headlin-ers No Doubt, The Killers, and Zac Brown Band, some stand-outs in the lineup are Foster the People, Snoop Dog, Young the Giant, Spoon, The Roots, Sheryl Crow, Awolnation, and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. Of course, there are many oth-er musical acts performing. Another aspect KAABOO is

incorporating is comedy. Co-medians such as Joel McHale, Lewis Black, Jeff Garlin, and Ron Funches will appear.

On Wednesday the 4th of March, C.S.E.C. (Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Chil-dren), a local San Diego group, gave a presentation at Lincoln High Schools auditorium. The presentation included a docu-mentary called Indoctrinated that was produced and shot here in San Diego. The film was an hour long and was followed up by a panel of people who are involved in either law enforcement or ju-venile crime, with an emphasis in prostitution. The produc-er of the film gave an intro-duction beforehand, sharing that the project had been in the works since 2004 and had been funded by numerous anti-crime and grassroots or-ganizations, including the San Diego City School District. Its content centers on human sex trafficking; more pointedly, prostitution from many differ-ent perspectives. The film focuses on the sto-ries of several young San Di-ego women who have escaped the lifestyle and who are now in positions of counseling oth-ers who are at risk.

KAABOO San DiegoBy Sophia DorfsmanStaff Writer

The year was 1991; Bran-don Boyd, a senior at Cal-abasas High in California, got together with two of his musician classmates to start writing songs in his garage. Their early work was heavi-ly influenced by such bands as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers; all of which Brandon would later say gave him the desire to start mak-ing music of his own. After playing some gigs at local clubs for a few years, the still unnamed band was asked to produce a name for an upcoming show. Brandon, in describing his obsession with music as a sort of haunt-ing force, landed on the name Incubus. The band enjoyed steady work at nightclubs on the Sunset Strip for a number of years, frequenting such venues as the Whiskey a Go Go, The Roxy and the Trou-badour. In 1995, Incubus re-leased its first album, Fungus Amongus, which, though well received, was said to be de-rivative of the Red Hot Chili Peppers album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. After receiving similar criti-cism with their second album S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Incubus final-ly achieved breakout success with Make Yourself in 1999, a highly successful album that established their reputation as bold artists with their own identity. With Make Yourself, Boyd began to display his con-fidence and maturity as a songwriter, exploring themes of individuality, resilience in the face of adversity, and the courage to remain true to yourself and your dreams even when encountering overwhelming resistance. Musically speaking, Incu-bus also pushed the bound-aries when they introduced turntablist Chris Kilmore to the band, providing them with a highly distinct sound which set them apart from other bands of the late 90s. After touring continu-ously for the next two years, Incubus retreated to an oceanfront mansion in Mali-bu to begin working on their next album, which would later be known as Morning View. It was during this time

that Brandon went back to his roots and began surfing again, as he had almost con-sidered becoming a pro surf-er as an adolescent before pursuing music. Possibly due to the tranquility of this pe-riod and the break from the pressure they were experienc-ing while being constantly on

Make Yourself: The Story of

Incubus After the screening, the pan-el delved deeper into the is-sue by answering questions from the audience. They also brought up the larger issue of human trafficking in San Di-ego. Human trafficking covers not only prostitution but also the slavery of undocumented workers. They stressed that the FBI has identified San Diego as one of the top ten urban areas in the United States with the highest intensity of human trafficking. It has reached critical numbers in San Diego in the last few years. The panel also pointed out that traditionally it was runaway teen girls who were most at risk for being lured into prostitution. The vice squads monitoring the situa-tion targeted many of the hot spots in San Diego known for this kind of activity. The situation, however, has changed in recent years as ev-erything has gone online. The people affected no longer have to be those out on the street, but can be lured from right in their bedrooms. Through online dating sites, social me-dia, traffickers can reach you from the comfort of your own home. Girls as young as eleven

have been known to be recruit-ed. The reasons as to why these girls, as opposed to boys, are easily lured into sex trafficking

the FBI has iden-tified San Diego as one of the top ten urban areas in the United States with

ingis because of a lack of love and attention at home. When the kids are discon-nected from their families, school, and life in general, they look to easy sources for atten-tion, and that is how the pimps rope them into the life. In order to save these kids, education and awareness is instrumental to the fight. During a response to a question, a panel mem-ber said, One of the greatest threats is that good people like you listen to the message, and do nothing. Prevention of this issue is key to erasing it from San Diego, and ultimately our country.

tour, Morning View ended up being a much more reflective and introspective album than Make Yourself. Boyd allowed himself to ex-plore more personal stories about loss and longing as well as love and hope, resulting in an album that so far has been their most commercially and critically successful work to date. Between 2001 and 2011, Incubus released three other albums that, while well-re-ceived, didnt live up to the success of either Make Your-self or Morning View. De-spite this, Incubus recently released two new singles and is set to release two new EPs in 2015, which together will form a new album. Whether or not the bands new album lives up to its pre-vious success is irrelevant at this point, as Incubus has al-ready established themselves as an original force in the music world.
