Trump and Clinton Face Off

Presidential candidates confront each other at first debate

BY BROOKE KAUFMAN
AND RYAN ROBSON
A+E EDITOR; EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
After a long and contentious
campaign, rivals Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump took the
stage at Hofstra University in
New York Monday night to discuss issues facing the country
during this election seasons first
presidential debate.
In the early stages of the debate, Mrs. Clinton answered
most questions with detailed policy-based responses, while Mr.
Trump painted a more blunt picture of the crises he saw Americans facing. His simple language
and direct style initially held up
well against Mrs. Clintons personal slights, but exposed vulnerabilities later in the evening.
Bill Clintons Monica Lewinsky scandal and Trump University werent the only things that
didnt make an appearance. Libertarian presidential candidate
Gov. Gary Johnson, now polling
at 7.4% in the latest Real Clear
Politics average, and Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein were
not permitted to participate in
the debate because each failed to
meet the threshold of 15% support. (Many blame the The Commission on Presidential Debates

Most political analysts concurred that Mrs. Clinton won the
debate, saying that her strategy of baiting Mr. Trump with

touchy issues from his past elicited unbecoming responses.

Mr. Trump also neglected to
force difficult issues, such as Mrs.
Clintons use of a private email

SDUSD Spokesperson Jokes

Reporter Could Wash Up Dead
BY NORA BECKER
LINE EDITOR
San Diego Unified School Districts new public information officer (PIO) Andrew Sharp joked
twice to a Voice of San Diego reporter this summer that if one of
his colleagues - who was investigating district affairs - wasnt
careful, she might find her body
washed up on the shore.
According to an editorial from
VOSD Editor-in-Chief Scott
Lewis and Managing Editor Sara
Libby, Sharp made comments
regarding reporter Ashly McGlone that were inappropriate
at best and a warning or threat
at worst to Mario Koran.
VOSD, a non-profit news organization, said that its relationship with Sharp had been rocky
from the start.
After VOSD contacted the district, Superintendent Cindy Marten later issued a statement saying, As indicated by Mr. Sharp,
his comments were taken out
of context. He, in no way meant
to threaten harm to anyone. We
recognize the importance of a

safe workplace and regret an

employee was unnecessarily
made to feel unsafe in any way.
While Sharp also apologized
for his terrible sense of humor
in a voicemail to McGlone, the
SDUSD still proposed that McGlone avoid working with Sharp
going forward, an arrangement
that would cripple her ability to
do her job as a reporter.
Sharp made his comments
during an off-the-record conversation, but VOSD determined
that the remarks were too significant to be kept private and sent
a letter to the SDUSD.
We cant work with someone who jokes, in the context
of talking about criticism of our
work, that we will be murdered
for what weve done, wrote
Lewis and Libby.
SDUSD schools have regularly
gone on lockdown as a result of
far more indirect threats.
There is no circumstance in
which joking about a journalists
death should ever be tolerated,
wrote Matthew T. Hall, president
of the San Diego Society of Professional Journalists.

Vogue Espaa cover features Kendall Jenner as a ballerina

BY ZOE MENDEL
DIGITAL EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
In a recent shoot for Vogue
Espaa, Kendall Jenner is
shown playing the part of a
ballerina. In the shoot, Kendall speaks about how she
loves being a kid. She leans
on a ballet barre and parades
around in pointe shoes with
different costumes.
In doing so, she has caused
many dancers around the
world to feel downright disrespected.
Ballet is more or less an ancient art form, beginning in
the early 14th century in the
courts of France. Technique
was formed based on the idea
of never turning your back to
the throne, hence, the turned
out feet. Styles have evolved
and the look and lines of a
dancer have changed. In the
beginning, lines were softer,
arms and shapes were rounder. Legs were lower than you
typically see today.
Over time, different choreographers changed style, such
as Balanchine, who is most famous in the non-ballet world
for The Nutcracker. His lines
were straighter, sharper, and
elongated. His curriculum is
the basis for many American
ballet schools today.
A typical dance student
starts around the age of seven, and moves through each
movement until she becomes

strong enough to handle

more advanced steps. Baby
ballerinas spend lots of time
strengthening their ankles to
hold themselves up in pointe
shoes, where the majority of
your weight is suspended by
your anklebones while you
stand on your toes.
This training takes at least
three to four years, and continues even after you are approved for pointework.
Getting the privilege to
dance en pointe is a right of
passage for many dancers. We
work extremely hard, putting
in as many as thirteen hours
of training a week. For Kendall to just throw on shoes (or
for Vogue Espaa to demand
that) is a disgrace for dancers
everywhere. The backlash on
Twitter and social media is
harsh, and Kendall has not yet
commented.
I am insulted that Vogue
Espaa would choose a ce-

lebrity with no training over

a real dancer, such as American Ballet Theatres first black
ballerina Misty Copeland,
who has already danced to
promote companies like Under Armour. Kendall has no
idea what shes doing; in fact,
some of the pictures show her
lacking so much technique
that its dangerous for her to
be on her toes.
If the purpose of the shoot
was to show Kendall as being a kid, like she mentions,
she should be playing with
dolls instead of touching tools
that dancers use for their
art.
I do respect Kendall for being a model and working with
publications such as Vogue Espaa, however, I am insulted
that Vogue would choose this
model for the shoot they had
in mind.

On Brock Turner

The Burkini Ban

Rape culture exists, and it needs to end.

The absurdity of telling women they are not

allowed to cover themselves

BY ELLE NECOECHEA
STAFF WRITER

BY ARIELA FEINBERG
STAFF WRITER

Its been only a meager

three months since the verdict of Brock Turner vs. The
People came to a close, and
many were outraged by the
minuscule punishment of six
months given. However, September, 2nd reinstated fear
in the hearts of many adolescent females as Turner was
released early, having served
only half the time that he was
originally sentenced. Turner is just one of many cases
of injustice when it comes to
campus rape throughout the
past decade. Elite universities
such as Vanderbilt, Columbia, Baylor, and USC have all
had similar cases that have
resulted in the same unsatisfactory vengeance towards
the perpetrators. Statistically, females ages 18-24 have a
higher chance of sexual assault, with around 21% experiencing it throughout their
undergraduate career.
The problem stems not
only from an overwhelming
amount of apathy towards
cases of those victimized by
white males, such as Turner,
but that the definition and
guidelines of sexual assault
are overwhelmingly vague
and unclear. California has
adopted a very narrow definition of rape that allows for
leniency in cases like Turners,

Fear, as defined in the dictionary is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that
someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain,
or a threat. There are many
outcomes of fear, for example
discrimination or the necessary need for control. Over
the years there have been
many devastating terrorist
attacks from the extremist
group ISIS.
France has recently been a
victim to these attacks, sparking fear among residents. A
desire to feel safe has caused
Ostentatious symbols to be
banned in public. These can
be categorized under head
veils, long skirts, and swimsuits.
Muslim women no longer
have the freedom to dress
according to ones religion
and beliefs. As of this year,
French government officials
have enacted a ban on the
burkini, a swimsuit that covers the entire body except the
face, hands, and feet. Muslim
women are being stripped
down at public beaches by police in order to follow the law,
yet a similar swimsuit known
as the diving suit is allowed
on the beaches of France.
Though unfair, it is understandable why government
officials would want to take

no matter the emotional trauma that the victim endures. It

is time that we adopt a more
accurate definition of rape
that doesnt allow for rape to
be treated as a misdemeanor.
Due to Californias laws and
definitions, Turner was tried
as a sexual assaulter--not a
rapist--allowing for him to
take a much easier sentence.
In June, Turners victim released her personal letter that
was read in court, and anyone
who could endure reading
the letter all the way through
knows that her emotional and
mental state after the atrocity
is not justified by three negligible months. Case after case
we have seen mishandlings
and a lack of true justice being served. At universities it
seems as though sexual assault is handled as lightly as

other common campus crimes

of under age drinking or
cheating, when it is in fact a
way more serious matter.
Only 20% of the female victims (ages 18-24) of undergraduate rape go on to report
the circumstances, and many
site that it is because they fear
reprisal, or believed that law
enforcement would not do
anything to help. If only 20%
of robbery victims reported
burglary because they feared
for the same reasons, we
would see it as a huge societal issue and be more prone to
address and remedy the situation. American universities
may surely be doing an excellent job at educating their
students academic wise, but
lack in affirming proper consequences for campus rape to
ensure security for all.

extra precautions in order

to avoid terrorist attacks, on
the other hand it is not necessary to discriminate against
an entire race/religion. But
banning clothing is not going
to stop terrorist attacks from
happening.
Women in general should
not be degraded in such a way
that they are having to strip
their clothing and are being
accused of bombing just because of appearance. Because
of these unnecessary and unhelpful bans, France remains
blind to the prejudice among
race, ethnicity, and religion.
In order to justify the current
events of unclothing Muslim women in public, French
prime minister Manuel Valls
invoked an attack in Nice in
order to accuse the Muslim
women of France of setting
a terrorist attack in motion.
Though Valls has claimed to
be accepting of Islam, his actions show otherwise.

Refusal to Stand for the Anthem

A necessary statement or an unpatriotic act?
BY CAMERON HICKMAN
STAFF WRITER
When you consider the
concept of patriotism, what
comes to mind? Perhaps the
Fourth of July? The phrase,
no taxation without representation? It is often easy to
forget that our country originated from rebellion and refusal to accept what was not
right. Our First Amendment
guarantees us the right to free
speech and peaceful protest
because our country was designed with the idea that government should represent the
wishes of the people. How is
it unpatriotic to exercise that
right?
Late in August, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick did not stand
for the national anthem at an
NFL event in protest of the
oppression black Americans
still face today. He asserts that
the message of the national
anthem: that our freedom and
equality have been preserved,
does not apply to our country today. His actions sparked
controversy, but also a movement: quite a few athletes
have followed his lead.
For many, the disagreement with Colin Kaepernicks
kneeling for the national anthem lies not in legality but
morality. They say that his

refusal to stand is a sign of

disrespect, but Kaepernick
is protesting with intention.
Would it not be a greater
disrespect to stand for the
national anthem without
conviction? His actions were
not disrespectful, but in fact
thoughtful-- Kaepernick obviously believed in what he
was doing.
Others see it as an empty
gesture from a rich athlete.
While it may be simply a gesture, it is an important and
meaningful one. Kaepernick
has an adequate platform to
start a movement that can
make real change, and indeed he has. Furthermore,
he was aware of how his actions could impact his job and
sponsorships.
Other athletes have already
followed Kaepernicks example. From college football
to womens soccer to other
NFL players, his actions have
inspired many to protest, as
well.
Kaepernicks actions have
brought about a significant
national conversation about
inequality. Already Kaepernicks actions have broken
the ice for protests by other
athletes, and brought forth
discussion of the injustices in
our country--from racial inequality to gay rights-- back
into the spotlight.

BY SARA CARROLL
STAFF WRITER
Colin Kaepernicks decision
to protest by not standing
during the national anthem
was wrong.
While he has every right to
sit out the anthem, it was a
poor decision and he should
accept the consequences.
Kaepernick has gained national attention not for what
he did on the football field, but
his actions off the field. This
is not what great athletes and
the NFL are about. It is not all
about him putting himself in
the spotlight and trumpeting
his personal beliefs. Furthermore, he is setting a bad example, and encouraging other
athletes and students to disrespect this patriotic American
tradition.
Football is a team sport. In
the NFL there are many very
specific things that you can
and cant do, including rules
regarding what you can and
cant wear. This is because
what you wear and what you
do reflects back onto your
team. Team unity is a very
important aspect of successful teams. No one person gets
to decide that they wont follow the rules. The saying goes
there is no I in team.
Kaepernick is prioritizing
his own personal beliefs over

the team, and focusing too

much attention on himself.
He is disrespecting the tradition and views of the other athletes on his team, and
exhibiting bad sportsmanship.
People do not go and watch
a sporting event to see a protest. People go to see a game
for entertainment. It is not the
place. Kaepernicks act has
inspired many other athletes
to participate in his protest.
His actions have also inspired
several incidents of vandalism against the American
flag itself. Do they have no
respect for the country that
they live in? There are going
to be things about America
that not everybody will love
but that is no excuse to betray
it. Without consequences,
people will think it is okay to
disrespect America. For in-

stance, we have the right of

free speech, but that does not
mean you can run into a public place and scream, Fire!
Its about timing, and Kaepernicks timing was bad.
The national anthem is a
symbol of our country, and the
many men and women who
have courageously fought
and protected our great nation. Standing and singing the
national anthem is a token
of our gratitude and respect.
Our country does not have
to be perfect to deserve this
level of respect. It is insulting
to all those who have fought
and died for our country, to
reject this great tradition. We
should all be grateful for their
sacrifices, and demonstrate
a degree of love and respect
for our country, even though
we still have work to do and
progress to be made.

Bench to Bat

NFL to Spend Millions on

Head Injuries

Sports Swaps are not New

BY SOPHIE BOLINGER
STAFF WRITER
When people hear the name
Tim Tebow they tend to reflect on many things, such as
his legacy as one of the best
college football players of our
time, or maybe even for his
famous touchdown dance,
Tebowing, which swept the
nation in 2011, or how his career in the NFL was short (and
not very sweet) and marginally unsuccessful. But do they
ever think of him as a Major
League Baseball player? Soon
maybe they will, Tim Tebow
announced this past August
that he would be trying out
for the MLB.
Tim Tebow is most notably known for his remarkable
college football career at University of Florida from 20062010. He was the first college
football player to win the
Heisman Trophy as a sophomore, surprising many with
his extreme athleticism. He
also led his team on a 13-1 record and to their second national championship in three
years in 2008. College football fans either loved him or
hated him, and if you werent
a University of Florida fan
you most likely hated him. As
his talent and skill improved
throughout his college years,
it seemed like he was destined
to have a bright future in the
National Football League
(NFL).
After college, Tebow was
drafted in the first round, pick
#25, to the Denver Broncos.
Tebows career in the NFL
was surprising, but not in the
way everyone expected it to
be. Brief late season success
in 2011 that included a Bronco
play-off win notwithstanding,
he bounced around from team
to team in the NFL after that.
He went from the Broncos
to the New York Jets in 2012,
than to the New England Patriots in in 2013 where he
signed a two year contract
and only ended up throwing
the ball 5 times early in the
season. Lastly, he signed a
one year contract with the
Philadelphia Eagles in 2015
where he played in all four of
the preseason games but was
released on September 5th.

In 2013, Tebow was hired by

ESPN as a college football analyst, with his contract allowing him to continue pursuing
other opportunities as a player. Many thought the phenomena of Tebow was over
due to unsuccessful career in
the NFL.
Most recently, Tebow has
been making headlines again
with the news of his pursuit to
have a career in professional
baseball. In August 2016, Tebow invited all Major League
Baseball teams to his tryout,
in spite of the fact that the
last time Tebow had played
baseball full-time was his junior year in high school. At
that time he was an all-state
player, and by his senior year
major league teams had interest in him. Even prior to his
call out to the Major League
teams, there was interest from
the Los Angeles Dodgers. On
August 9th, Tebow received
contract offers from many minor independent professional
baseball teams, including an
offer of a contract from ugilas del Zulia, a professional
baseball team in Venezuela.
Tebow held his tryout on
August 30th, with over 50
members of media and 40
MLB scouts there having all
eyes on the Heisman winner
once again. On September
8th, Tebow signed a minor
league contract with the New
York Mets. Tebow seems to
have given up in his dream
of being an NFL quarterback,
but seems in high hopes and
excited to start his new journey in the baseball world.
When asked by CBS Sports if
it was a difficult decision for
him to close the door of football world, Tebow responded
by saying, Obviously, I love
the game [of football]. I love
all the opportunities that Ive
had. Its fun. Ill always love
the game and I think Ill always be a part of it in someway, but I also love hitting
baseballs, and its really fun,
so Im excited about the pursuit of [baseball]. The exit of
Tim Tebow from the football
world is surprising, but the
odds seem to be in his favor.

have decided to either switch

to a different sport during
their professional career, or
after college; Tim Tebow is
special but not in this regard.
Many people would never
guess in a million years that
certain athletes have played
a different sport due to how
remarkable these athletes are
in the sports they play. Due
to their extreme athleticism,
theyre able to have a variety of skills across the board.
Most notably would be Michael Jordan, known as the
greatest basketball player of
all time to ever to play in the
National Basketball Association (NBA).
He played 15 seasons in the
NBA, universally known as
the player who helped publicize the NBA around the
world in the 80s and 90s.
Then, out of nowhere in 1993,
Jordan announced he was going to retire and try baseball.
This came as a shock to many,
the most legendary basketball
player of all time was retiring
to play a different sport. Jordan said he made this decision not only on his lost interest in the game, but also his
decision was also based on his
desire to pursue the dream of
his late father for him to be a
Minor League Baseball player.
Even though Jordans time in
the baseball world was short,
he only played from 1993-95,
it was meaningful to him, and
towards the end of this journey, he was actually exhibiting major league like ability.
Jordan later rejoined the NBA
in March 1995.

Any professional athlete will try their hardest to
excel at anything they do, so
maybe Tim Tebows adventure into the world of Major
League Baseball will end up
becoming the new legacy of
a multi-sport athlete in the
community of sports.

Hope Solos Career in

Jeopardy

BY ORIANA R. TEJEDA
STAFF WRITER
Hope Solo was the goalkeeper for the womens national soccer team, and shed
been playing for the team for
17 years. Solo has been known
as one of the best goalkeepers, but has also been known
for causing trouble which has
caused her to get a one month
suspension in 2015. However, this time she took it to another extreme by calling the
Swedish womens team A
bunch of cowards after the
team had lost against them in
the Olympics.
Solo called the Swedish
team a bunch of cowards
because of the defensive way
that the Swedish were playing. The members of U.S Soccer considered what she had
said unacceptable. Solo was
suspended for 6 months without pay, effective immediately, and her contract was terminated.
Many believe that what
Solo said, not only speaking

badly of the Swedish but also

speaking badly about their
new coach was her way of
embarrassing not just herself but the country, as Solos
words did not meet the conduct that was set for soccer
players. Solo will once again
have to earn her place in the
national team, as despite her
contract being terminated,
she can once again play for
the U.S National Team after
the six month suspension has
been complete.
Solo was devastated at the

HB2 to the NCAA

How the law will change sports

BY SOPHIE BOLINGER
STAFF WRITER
This past March, the state
of North Carolina passed the
Public Facilities Privacy and
Security Act, most commonly
know as House Bill 2 or HB2.
The bill states that individuals may only use restrooms
and changing facilities that
correspond to the sex of their
birth certificates. This bill has
caused much uproar among
the citizens of North Carolina, the bill seems to be focusing in on discrimination towards the LGBT community.
It has also caused frustration
from many across the United
States, as many people will
now refrain from visiting the
state due to the passage of
this bill.
Not only does this affect the
individuals rights of the citizens and those who visit the
state, it is also affecting the
revenue income throughout
the state.
Most notable is the impact
the bill has had on the sports
community in North Carolina.
North Carolina is known
for their sports, having four
Atlantic Coast Conference
(ACC) powerhouses, an NBA
team, and an NFL team, thus
the community value of
sports is important in North
Carolina.
Because these sports are
also one of North Carolinas
biggest sources of income and
publicity, this law will end up
costing the state major dollars.
When the law was first
passed, many North Carolina
Universities were not happy
about it, before even realizing the impact it would eventually have on their schools
athletic teams. On September

12th, the N.C.A.A. announced

their removal of all tournament games from North Carolina because of the bill.
Not only will this affect the
revenue income of the state it
will also affect the success of
the schools teams. Duke University, University of North
Carolina, North Carolina
State University and Wake
Forest University are all top
rated teams in the N.C.A.A.
The moving of the tournament game this academic
season of 2016-2017 may cost
the teams the opportunity to
be playing in Greensboro in
March, closer to their schools
if they are a top four seed in
the first two rounds of the
tournament. This bill may im-

pact North Carolina schools

in March Madness, removing
the dynamic of an earned advantage. Opposing schools
playing North Carolina teams
have also shown their protest
toward the bill.
Albany University decided they would not travel to
Durham, North Carolina to
play the Duke in the Hall of
Fame Tournament in basketball due to the bill, costing an
out of state school the opportunity to play in historic Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke
head Coach Mike Krzyzews-

ki stated, Its an embarrassing billthats all Im going

to say about it. Many other
coaches from North Carolina
Universities have spoken out
on their disappointment and
dislike
toward the bill, STUDENT
VOICE
hoping that
situations
like Albanys will cause there
to be a change.
The negative impacts the
law has on sports dont stop
there.
The NBA announced that
they will be pulling the NBA
All-Star game from Charlotte,
North Carolina in protest of
the law. While we recognize
that the NBA cannot choose
the law in every city, state
and country in which we do
business, we do not believe
we can successfully host our
All-Star festivities in Charlotte in the climate created by
the current law, the league
stated.
Even Stephen Curry, an All
Star NBA player of the Golden State Warriors, and a Davidson College graduate, said
that as a native of North Carolina he is ashamed in what
this law means for the states
reputation and for how it is
going to affect North Carolina as a whole. In another even
more immediate consequence,
the ACC just announced that
they will be removing all neutral-site conference championship games out of North
Carolina, including the ACC
football championship game
scheduled for December 3rd
in Charlotte.
This law has caused a great
deal of damage to a states
athletics, and the bill needs to
be reevaluated as soon as possible.

Early Sunday morning on
September 25, Jose Fernandez, star pitcher for the Miami
Marlins, died in a boating accident off of Miami Beach. The
32- foot vessel was found upside down by the Coast Guard
patrol near a rocky jetty. According to the severity of the
damage, it was concluded that
the boat hit the rocks at full
speed. Fernandez, along with
two others, were passengers

on the vessel and were also

killed in the accident. Drugs
and alcohol did not seem to
be a factor in the incident, but
autopsies have yet to be conducted.
Fernandez was a star pitcher who was drafted by the Miami Marlins in 2011. He was
also named National Rookie of the Year in 2013 and
was a two time all star. The
Marlins also cancelled their
home game on Sunday. Major
League Baseballs commissioner, Rob Manfred said, He

was one of our games great

young stars who made a dramatic impact on and off the
field since his debut in 2013.
Fernandezs girlfriend, Carla
Mendoza was pregnant with
their first child at the time of
the accident. Fernandez was
born in Cuba, and pitched for
the Miami Marlins from 2013
until the time of his death.
He was the Marlins first pick
in the 2011 MLB draft. Fernandez will be missed by fans,
teammates, and all who knew
him.

Coach Lindenblatts 1966 Ford Mustang

The LJHS wrestling coach and math teacher shares his new ride
BY RYAN ROBSON
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
La Jolla High School math
teacher and wrestling coach
no longer pulls into the faculty parking lot in a bland
sedan, truck, or SUV like his
colleagues.
Instead, he arrives with
a bang - literally - in a 1966
Ford Mustang.
The following is adapted
from two separate Hi-Tide interviews with Mr. Ryan Lindenblatt (RL) and LJHS auto
shop teacher Mr. Ken Davis
(KD):
RL: I wanted to get an older
car that i could do the maintenance on myself; I wanted
something simple, but i wanted something that was just

classic. Classic muscle car.

Before I had that car, I had
a Mini Cooper and I was getting frustrated with it because
in order to fix it or anything
you had to take it to the dealership because it had to have
specialty parts.
[Auto shop teacher] Kenny Davis has been absolutely
amazing in helping me hes
got all the tools I need here to
do a few of the more simple
things to fix it.
KD: My early experience
with that Ford Mustang is
when I was in high school,
I had a 1966 Ford Mustang
coupe kind of like his; of
course I didnt have a lot of
the badging and Shelby Cobra
stuff on it, but we worked on
it.

I blew 2 transmissions out

of it trying to have too much
fun with it, but theyre fun little cars!
RL: Of all the Mustangs, I
particularly like the first generation 64 65 66 body type
the best, so thats the type I
really, really wanted because
I just like the look of that particular car.
The reason why I picked
that particular car was that
the paint and the interior
were pretty much flawless
and those would be one of the
hardest things to fix myself.
KD: Weve done a lot of
work on that thing as far as
keeping the exhaust tightened
up. He had problems with the
ignition, problems with the
choke, and we worked on

Its a Ford, so its fix or repair daily.
RL: When I got it, it was
mostly fixed up there
was an exhaust leak [Davis]
helped me with, and we were
having a couple issues with
the choke and throttle and

hes been able to help me with

that as well.
KD: Its a nice little car,
somebodys put a lot of
wrench time into it. It has a
high-p erfor- RIDES OF

engine, which
requires a good deal of maintenance and upkeep if you
want to keep that thing running.
RL: Even though I knew it
looked good, what has always
surprised me is how many
people come up to me and
tell me Wow, thats a beautiful car I wasnt looking
for that much attention, but
its really nice to get people to
comment.

As you drive up Nautilus

Street in La Jolla, past Muirlands Middle School, you
come across a large white
house with art and other intricate sculptures surrounding it. 6706 Avenida Maana, facing Nautilus Street, is
home to La Jolla artist, Nasser
Pirasteh.
Most recently, Pirasteh
created a sculpture titled In

Out, an 8-by-10 foot display, made of concrete, metal,

glass, and other materials that
is cemented to the ground
just outside the house.
Last December, there were
complaints made to the city
about the structure, and the
city had requested the structure be taken down, with additional fines. Pirasteh argued
that it was not an illegal structure, but a fine work of art
that should not need permits.
However, because the structure is so big and too close

to the street, the city claimed

that he had an unpermitted accessory structure that
needed to be taken down.
After two court hearings,
the court ruled in favor of the
city in the case that the structure was illegal and needed
to be taken down within 60
days and that Pirasteh owed
$1,143.57 in administrative
costs and $5,000 in civil fines.
Pirasteh claims that he still
does not know if he will move
the piece, or demolish it altogether. It still stands.

LJHS photography teacher: taking selfies & delivering bounce houses

BY SYDNEY BROWN
STAFF WRITER
Q: What do you usually do
on the weekends?
A: Well, I do the jumpie business, so I deliver kids jumpies to happy families having
birthdays and other events.
Q: Do you have a favorite
jumpie?
A: I like Tommy the Train,
thats our signature jump.
Hes got a big smiley face and
is very happy and I like him a
lot. I also like the dog house,
because I have puppies and
dogs, it has a big face of Scooby Doo on the front.
Q: Are there any weird
things that have happened
to you while delivering
jumps?
A: Yes, we delivered last year
out to Lawson Valley, which
is way out in East County,
and we drove off into a little
dirt road and we had to stop
because there were chickens
crossing the road and my wife
had to shoo the chickens out
of the road. Then, as we were
driving up the road there
were dogs just sitting in the
road, and they watched as we
drove by. About a mile later
as we were driving up to the
gate of the owners property
there was a mountain lion just
watching us and I stopped to
take a picture of it and it just
kind of watched us and then
wandered off.
Q: Who is in your family?
A: Living with me is my two
daughters and wife. We also
have some pets. Well, we
lost two dogs this year, but
we have three left. We have
Romo who is the youngest
and hes blind, we call him
Romo Babyyyyy. And then
we have BoBo who is a typical, white, snooty french dog,
one of those maltese bijan lap
dogs. We also have Mr. T, hes

a bada**. Hes named after the

Mr. T with the shaved head
because when we got him he
bit us. I still have scars on my
fingers from when he almost
ripped them off. Hes a terrier
mix, which are unpredictable.
They never have any problems with animals around the
property because he will attack them and protect us.
Q: If you werent a teacher,
what would you be doing?
A: I just didnt get out of college and teach. I had another
career, I worked my way up
from an apprentice to a senior
mechanic and then I was in
charge of a high rise building.
I went to HVAC school (heating/air conditioning school),
and Im carrier trained in big
centrifugal air conditioning
units that would be in big
ships or high rise buildings.
I could literally run a huge
building, which I have done.
For the last four years I was
working for the federal government, and running a couple buildings downtown. It
paid really good, but I lost my
job there because the federal
government cut it. After that
I applied to some other buildings, as well as teaching and
I ended up getting back into
teaching.
Q: What kind of music do
you listen to?
A: I listen to all genres of music, but the only type of music
I dont like is rap. I think that
rap is too violent and cusses
too much and it doesnt really
sound like music to me. I really like peaceful music, like
Christian Worship type music
and contemporary music. The
two radio stations that I listen
to are Air1 and K-LOVE.
Q: What is your favorite
LJHS event to attend?
A: I used to work a lot of the
football and basketball games
and I really enjoyed going to

them. I dont work them as

much anymore because I am
working on the weekends and
Friday night is my big family
night and we
go out to plac- TEACHER
es like Barona. PROFILE
So, Ive been
volunteering
less for the school. I used to
participate in drama events
all the time but I dont do that
anymore, living a long way
away from school makes it
hard to volunteer at school
events.
Q: Which teachers do you
hang out with outside of
school or are close to while
at school?
A: I dont like any teachers,
well actually my daughters
are teachers and I hang out
with them. But I do eat lunch
every day with Mr. Palm, Mrs.
LeCren, Mrs. Bertier, Mrs. Rodriguez, Mrs. Savoia, and Mr.
Morgan; Ive also had some of
them to my house.
Q: What is your favorite
restaurant in La Jolla?
A: I dont really eat in La Jolla, I just eat at the Mexican
restaurant down the street,
Rigos. Its not very good
Mexican food though, I would
rate it as a B-. The town next
to mine, Casa de Oro, is the
Mexican fast-food capital
of the world. We have more
Mexican food restaurants
than gas stations there.
Q: What is your favorite
movie of all time?
A: Im a Die Hard man, I
love the Die Hard series with
Bruce Willis.
Q: Do you have any good
selfie tips?
A: The key selfie is to slightly hold your camera above
eye-level, and dont take the
selfie with the camera side
(selfie camera), use the lens
side, because its a real lens.

weekends?
A: On the weekends I usually clean the house and spend

festival in Cardiff by the Sea. I
really enjoy going to the symphony and the La Jolla Playhouse when I get a chance.

A: Yes, I am a classic pianist.
Ive performed TE ACHER
concerts at La

I recently performed at a private home in
Sunset Cliffs called the Panda House. Everything in the
house was panda dcor. I have
also given concerts at the Miramar Ranch library and I really enjoy it.

Q: What kind of music do

you listen to?
A: I like almost any music, but
my favorites are classical, jazz
and Broadway and an array of
music that I like. Except rap; I
dont like the language.
Q: What is your favorite
restaurant?
A: I am not a picky eater, I like
any kind of food. I like meat
but not in large quantities. I
also really like fish because
its good for you with all of its
omega 3s and vitamins. My
family and I are very experimental, we try everything.
Q: Do you hang out with
any teachers outside of
school?
A: Yes, Mrs. Sadler and I go
to SeaWorld because they
were very generous and gave
teachers free passes. Ive also
kept good relationships with
some of my colleagues from
Muirlands like Mr. Hernandez, Mrs. Tejada and Mr. Cisneros. Were a strong faculty and try our best to all get
along.
Q: What are you a doctor
of?
A: I am a doctor of Education,
similar to Dr. Podhorsky.
Q: What is your favorite
snack?
A: Well I like yogurt, and I
really like creamy frappuc-

Q: Do you have any other

jobs?
A: Yes, I teach people who already have bachelors degrees
and want to get their teaching
credential. I train them to be
acclimated to classroom management and discipline. The
students range from their mid
20s all the way up to their
60s. Ive even taught a former
Charger player.
Q: What kind of student
were you like in high
school?
A: I was a very good student,
I always was on task and very
attentive. I never got in trouble because I was a goody
goody.

Q: Any recommendations
for students taking their
driving test this year?
A: Use auditory skills because
they dont give you the directions visually. You should
hone yourself to listening to
your teachers for correct directions to be trained automatically with good habits for
your test.

Terrorism Grips
France

Another attack in the wake of

destruction caused by extremists
BY NICO NUEZ
STAFF WRITER
In the wake of the recent
terrorist attacks, France and
her people have lived in a
shadow of constant threat
and danger. Now, there have
been even more terrorist
threats that have pushed
the stability of France to the
breaking point. On September
7, French police discovered an
abandoned car parked close
to the Notre Dame Cathedral,
packed with explosives. According to police, the vehicle
contained seven large cans of
fuel, three bottles of diesel,
and had pages of Arabic writing inside. After further investigation, the French police
found a pledge of allegiance
written to ISIS, and managed
to arrest the three women
who staged the plot.
During arrest, the women attacked the officers with
knives and managed to severely wound on of the officers. Another case of threatening terrorism would be a
15 year old that was accused
of plotting an imminent
terrorist attack. The police

arrested him on the fact that

they had strong evidence of
the boy having connections
with French ISIS Militant
Rashid Kassim. These recent
terrorist developments have
taken their toll on Frances
way of life. As of now, France
is still in a state of emergency.
On September 11, the French
Prime Minister, Manuel Valls,
made a public statement on
the matter. Every Frenchman
suspected of being linked to
terrorism, because he regularly consults a jihadist website,
or his behavior shows signs of
radicalisation or because is in
close contact with radicalized
people, must be preventively
placed in a detention center,
he stated. The French Prime
Minister concluded his speech
with the words, There will be
new attacks. There will be innocent victims. At this point
it seems that France is spiraling down to an imminent major terrorist conflict. However
these new measures could
make a difference. Whatever
happens, this terrorist conflict
will surely test the foundation
on which all of French society
lives on.

Venezuela Facing a Major Crises

An economic crisis grips the South American Country
BY ARMAN HAMRAH
VIDEO EDITOR
Venezuela has been steadily
falling into greater and greater crisis since 2013.
Currently facing shortages
on many staple products as
well as protests and general
discord. The origin of this can
be traced back to 2013 when
popular Socialist president
Hugo Chavez died, leaving
Venezuela in the hands of
Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro is unpopular and
faces heavy protest as well as
a congress that is attempting
to oust him from office.
He stopped import of goods
after the price of oil dropped
forcing Venezuela to dig into
gold reserves to pay off outlying debts. Imports of goods
dropped significantly, according to Panjiva (a New York
based trade data company)
the import of meat is down
63%, bread is down 94%, and
fruit is down 99%.
In mid July of this year, the

border between Venezuela

and Columbia was reopened
temporarily after being closed
due to disputes between the
two countries.
Taking this opportunity an
estimated 100,000 tearful Venezuelans crossed the border
to buy basic foods and necessities. As a possible solution,
Jamaica is sending up to $4
million in food and goods in
exchange for oil, these goods

chest in an attempted robbery

and after what was supposed
to be merely a minor surgery
turned into several days of
hospitalization as well as being charged for all the supplies down to the gauze and
syringes.
Buried in a 48 page government publication a decree
states that citizens who work
in both the private and public
sector can be made to work in

Unemployment is currently at
17% but is expected to rise as
much as 30% in the coming years
include medical supplies
which Venezuela is incredibly
short in.
According to a CNN source,
the lack of medical supplies
has led many including Jose
Luis Vazquez to have to pay
for every aspect of their treatment. Vazquez was shot in the

the countrys fields for a minimum of 60 days that can be

expended.
While Amnesty International has called the decree
unlawful, some say it may be
a necessity to stop the population from starving to death.

BY ORIANNA R. TEJADA
STAFF WRITER
On September 14, 2016, the
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed that
the Fancy Bears, a group of
Russian hackers, had leaked
confidential medical files.
They leaked the medical files of well known athletes such as Simone Biles, as
well as Venus and Serena Williams.
Although the Fancy Bears
leaked only 10 files of American athletes, they also leaked
files of other famous international athletes.
The files that they seem to
have leaked were TUEs otherwise known as Therapeutic
Use Exemptions, which gives
the athletes permission to use
substances that are being used
for specific medical reasons.
Simone Biles, a USA gymnast, justified why she was
taking medication.
The medication she was
taking was for her ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder), so her use of the

drugs was permitted for medical purposes and approved

by WADA.
Venus and Serena Williams,
whose files were also leaked,
were said to have taken many
medications during the off
season, in which they were
not part of the Olympics.
Most of the medication
that Venus had taken was because she had been injured
at the time; medication that
had been prescribed mainly
through the years of 20102015.
Serena Williams was mainly taking anti-inflammatories
and painkillers.
Other Olympic medical files
have been leaked but these
have caught the most attention.
The motive of the Fancy

When Mexico sends its
people theyre not sending their best, said Donald
Trump. The U.S. presidential
candidate who has constantly bashed the United States
southern neighbor, and despite his highly negative image within Mexico, the Mexican President Enrique Pea
Nieto invited both him and
Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to conference in Mexico City.
Although Hilary declined
the invitation, Trump proceeded, departing from Phoenix, Arizona and arriving in
Mexicos capitol on August
30, 2016. The visit caused predicted opposition from hundreds of thousands of Mexicans, infuriated by the open
arms of the candidate.
Both men spoke about various issues and possible solu-

tions they might be able to

agree upon.
Of most interest to the public was the multi-billion dollar southern border wall proposed by Trump to keep out
illegal immigrants.

At
rallies
nationwide,
Trump has pledged repeatedly that Mexico - not the U.S.
- will pay for the wall.
After the meeting, Donald
Trump admitted the wall had
been discussed but the payment wasnt.
In a contradictory statement, Nieto said they had
discussed the wall but that he
had made it abundantly clear
that Mexico would not be financing the project.
Clinton refused the invitation altogether, claiming that
Nieto had disrespected his
own nation by personally inviting a man he had compared
to Hitler and Mussolini in the
past.
The idea for Trumps invi-

tation came from Mexicos

finance minister Luis Videgaray who resigned from his
high-level position a week after Trumps visit.
The meeting itself was said
to be far civil than expected.
Nieto later declared that he
was prepared and committed
to working with whoever is
elected U.S. president in November.
The economies of the U.S.
and Mexico are closely linked,
with more than 6 million jobs
existing as a result of the nations economic relationship.
Trump again vowed that
Mexico would pay for construction of a great border
wall between the two countries. He spoke hours after
Mexican President Enrique
Pena Nieto told Trump in a
face-to-face meeting in Mexico City that Mexico would
not pay for it.

Officials detect the 2016 nuclear tests

- Monaghan Cromeans, sophomore

On September 9th, 2016,

North Korea conducted the
fifth and largest nuclear test
in its history. The explosion
first registered as a 5.3 magnitude earthquake on the Richter Scale, but was later confirmed to be a nuclear test.
It was estimated to have 10
kilotons of explosive force,
nearly two times as large as
their previous test in January
2016, which was said to have
an explosive power of between 4 and 6 kilotons (One
kiloton is the equivalent of
1,000 tons of TNT).
North Korean state media
claimed that this test would
allow them to produce a variety of smaller, lighter and
diversified nuclear warheads
of higher strike power. Although it is hard to verify this
claim, Melissa Hanham, a senior research associate at the
James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, voiced
her concerns over the danger
that North Korean Nuclear
capabilities could bring.
My deep fear is that they
will launch a live nuclear
weapon on one of their missiles, but that would be extremely dangerous as that
could trigger a war, she said.
The United Nations security
council convened a meeting
where they strongly condemned the test, stating that
it was a clear threat to international peace and security,
and that they will begin to

work immediately on appropriate measures. .

President Barack Obama
also said in a statement that
North Korea will face consequences to its unlawful and
dangerous actions, and that
the United States does not,
and never will, accept North
Korea as a nuclear state.
South Korean President
Park Geun-hye reflected
Obamas ideas, saying, The
only thing that the Kim Jong
Un regime can gain from the
nuclear tests is stronger sanctions from the international
community and its isolation.
Such provocation will eventually hasten its path to self-destruction.
Although North Korea has
been successful with increasing its nuclear and missile capabilities, it has been unable
to pair the two together.
Kim Byung-kee of the opposition Minjoo Party made
a statement after a meeting
with South Korean defense
officials.
When asked if North Korea can now mount a nuclear
warhead he said It doesnt
appear to be the case. Even
if they can mount [a nuclear
warhead], the technology for
weaponizing it is a separate
issue. It doesnt appear they
will be able to complete [this]
in the next one or two years,
but the intelligence authorities said it may be able to be
weaponized sooner than expected.

San Francisco Building is Sinking

Developers accused of receiving special treatment from city

BY ANNABELLE REEVES
STAFF WRITER
The Millennium Tower in
San Francisco is sinking.
The Millennium Tower is a
fifty-eight story condominium
skyscraper.
This $350 million tower was
built in 2009 and became one
of the iconic buildings on San
Franciscos skyline.
The tower has sunk by sixteen inches so far.
Some say the Millennium
Tower is sinking because it
was built on sand., which provides a much less stable foundation than the bedrock that
other San Francisco buildings
are constructed on. The weak
foundation has caused the slow
sinking affecting the building.
The worst part is that it is
sinking unevenly. The tower sinking has shown to be

more political now after Aaron

Peskin, member of San Francisco Board of Supervisors, had
official documents, these documents showed San Franciscos
building inspection department had concerns about this
building sinking seven years

ago. Yet the city declared the

building safe for occupancy in
August 2009.
Mr. Peskin said, I believe,
and I know this is a very serious allegation, that there are
some level of political interference.
Suggesting the firm received
special treatment from the city
is simply outrageous, said P.J.
Johnson, spokesman for Millennium Partners, told the San
Francisco Chronicle this.
Class-action lawsuits are being brought against the Millennium Tower developers.
One of the lawyers for the
apartment owners, Mark Garay
says, What we do know is that
the foundation of this building
does not go into bedrock. Its
all landfill. It used to be part of
the bay.

Self-Driving Ubers

First autonomous rides take place in Pittsburgh

BY BENJAMIN DECKHUT
STAFF WRITER
Uber and Ford have partnered together to come up with
the self-driving Ford Fusion
Uber.
These cars are equipped with
a rotating 360-degree laser system, around 20 cameras, 7 different lasers, and around 1,400
other pieces of machinery capable of providing enough information for a computer to
drive.
These cars, stationed in Pittsburgh, were being test ridden
by select journalists and Uber
drivers. The reviews are very
positive.
The ride feels pretty much
like a ride in any other car, with
an extremely cautious driver.
We may go maybe one or two
miles an hour over the speed
limit. Turns feel particularly
slow, said one NPR reporter.
According to an article in the
New York Times, there were
40,000 vehicle related deaths
that occurred in the United
States last year.
The deadliest automated-related deaths since 2008 and had
the largest year-over-year percentage increase in 50 years according to the National Safety

Council.
Despite accident prevention
technologies, one driver was
killed while using the autopilot
system in his Tesla Model S.
A vehicle operated by Alphabet, Inc. (the parent company of Google) suffered the
worst accident of Alphabets
self-driving fleet on Monday
when another van ran a red
light and hit the side of the car.
Further fatalities or accidents
such as these could shift public
opinion on self-driving vehicles.
The Wall Street Journal noted
that Uber is considering making the cars more aggressive as
a result of criticisms that the
cars move too slowly.
Uber generally has programmed its cars to drive within the speed limits, but is considering making the cars a bit
more aggressive to blend with
traffic flows where people routinely speed.
The cars are not completely self-sufficient, however. An
engineer rides along to take
over control in an emergency.
One had to during a test drive,
when a truck illegally backed
out.
The New York Times described the interior experience,

noting ... a big red button

in the center console - suspiciously similar to a seat ejector
switch from a James Bond film
- to disengage from self-driving
mode. To turn the self-driving
feature back on, he needed only
press a sleek steel button to an
embossed nameplate stamped
on the console.
All riders were required to
sign a waiver releasing Uber
from liability in the event of
their death of injury in a crash.
The Department of Transportation recently released a
new set of guidelines to regulate self-driving technologies, where vehicles will be
reviewed and approved for the
road on a case-by-case basis.
While President Obama has
given his approval to looser
regulations, the NHTSA is still
investigating the Tesla death
from May.
Meanwhile, many are concerned about the impact of autonomous vehicles on the millions of full-time and part-time
drivers worldwide.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick disagreed, saying, I dont
think the number of human
drivers will go down anytime
soon. In fact, I think in an autonomous world, it goes up.

NOYES (continued from page 1)

there you go.
Q: What is your purpose
here on campus?
A: My purpose here on campus is for every student and
staff member to go home
safely at the end of everyday. That is my sole goal.
Q: How familiar are you
with La Jolla and La Jolla
students?
A: Somewhat familiar with
La Jolla High and La Jolla High students. Ive done
basketball games out here
over the years and Ive done
football games out here over
the years. Ive never been
assigned as a campus officer
before, [but] I have responded to a couple calls out here
over the years.
Q: Do you have any comments on the student
body since you have been
here?
A: Extremely respectful,
forthcoming, mostly freshmen come up and speak to
me, shake my hand. I think
thats a good deal, you dont
get that at a lot of campuses.
Q: Do you patrol La Jolla
after the school day ends?
A: Im in the area for your
dismissals to ensure there
are no car accidents, no one
driving around crazy, no
fights, that kind of stuff.
Q: With this generation,
a lot of anti-police sentiment is prevalent. Seeing that you were booed
at the senior assembly a
few weeks ago, how do
you feel being on campus
with some people that
might not want you here?
A: You gotta have thick
skin as a police officer. That
doesnt faze me at all. Like I
said in the auditorium when
they did that, they have
their reasons whatever their
case may be, but given time,
I think people will see that
Im not your typical police
officer. I like to look at my-

self as more laid back, low

key.
Q: Have you ever experienced racial profiling in
your life?
A: Yes and no, I couldnt necessarily give you an example
of when I knew 110% thats
what it was, but over time,
different things happen
throughout your life that
you look back on, and you
think I wonder if thats because of? So Im the type
[that] I dont run to the Oh
its because Im black as the
first thing, and I see a lot of
people who do that ... But, is
racism still prevalent in the
United States? Yes.
Q: I see you have a utility belt with weapons on
your person, do you see
any circumstances that
might require you to use
it here at LJHS?
A: No, as I cant see into the
future, no I dont see any
circumstances.
Hopefully
I never have to use any of
them.
Q: Have you ever had to
draw or use your weapons
during your time as a police officer?
A: I have had to draw it, I
have never had to fire it other than in training. I have
had to draw it maybe one or
two times, and thats it.
Q: What is your opinion
on gun control?
A: Its an amendment right.
Q: What is the biggest
misconception you find
people have of police officers?
A: That were all the same.
Because there are some bad
officers out there ... there
are. Not every officer is
good, but not every citizen
is good either, but you cant
jump everybody into the
same barrel, based on the actions of a few. Were not all
the same.

DEBATE (continued from page 1)

The debate was moderated
by NBC Nightly News host
Lester Holt, who struggled to
keep the two candidates on
schedule and on topic.
Both candidates talked over
or ignored the moderator; Mr.
Trump frequently spoke over
Mrs. Clinton to point out what
he viewed as inaccuracies in
her statements.
Wrong, interrupted Mr.
Trump at multiple points
during the debate.
Mrs. Clinton for her part,
largely stayed silent during her
opponents time, but directed
viewers to her website instead.
There, Clinton campaign staffers published live fact checks
on statements made during the
debate.
Mr. Trump faced difficulties
in responding to Mrs. Clinton
on race issues, his early position on the Iraq War, and his
decision not to release his tax
returns.

Why wont he release his tax

returns? questioned Mrs. Clinton. Maybe hes not as rich as
he says he is, maybe hes not as
charitable as he claims to be, or
maybe because he owes about
$650 million to Wall Street or
foreign banks.
The impact of the debate will
not be fully seen until new polls
are released, but experts say
Mrs. Clinton may draw supporters away from third-party
candidates. Mr. Trump, meanwhile, needed to make up his
deficit in support from women; GOP strategists say his responses to past comments may
not be adequate.
Neither candidate is expected to lose significant support
from their core bases.
One in five Americans polled
prior to the debate said it would
be a factor in making their decision.

High School Theatre Shows Produce

Controversy
Promiscuous content leads to administrative backlash
BY ANNA-MARIA
ZAREMBOK
STAFF WRITER
In todays society, teenagers are exposed to a variety
of controversial topics such
as drugs, alcohol, racism, and
bullying. In high school, students are exposed to these
things through music, books,
television, social media, and
school productions.

Frank Ocean 2.0

Dispute Over Vantablack

R&B artist drops surprise album after 4 years

BY SYDNEY BROWN
Staff Writer
After the release of his debut studio album, Channel
Orange, Frank Oceans fans
were anticipating another album from the R&B singer.
Channel Orange was released in July 2012 and highlighted his love life and stories that have had an impact
on his life.
After its release the album
went on to win a Grammy
for Best Urban Contemporary
Album in 2013, beating out
Chris Brown and Miguel.
Oceans main purpose for
releasing music is to tell people a story, as said in an interview, Storytelling is the
more interesting part about
making music for me, or making albums and songs and
stuff. So much so that I might
not make another album.
After officially announcing that he was working on
his next album, fans began to
speculate what the new music
would sound like and when it
would be released. Later that
year, Ocean announced that
the album would be different
from his last, this time inspired by The Beatles and The
Beach Boys.
Leading up to the official release of his next album, Frank
Ocean released Endless, a forty-five minute visual album
that streamed from Apple

Music.
The next day Ocean released his sophomore album
on August 20, 2016 after four
long-awaited years. The fulllength album, Blond, consists
of seventeen songs and features lyrics and vocals from
multiple musicians, such as
Beyonce, Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye West.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200
charts and made approximately $1 million in profits
after its first week of availability.
Weeks after Blond was released, news headlines began to claim that the release
of Oceans new album would
spark controversy among
the music industry. Oceans
visual album, Endless, was
released in partner with his
recording label (Def Jam) to
fulfill his contract, but he then
went on to release Blond independently.

One news source claims

that his move marks the first
shot in an inevitable fight
between music labels and
streaming services.
The move towards becoming an independent artist is
very frightening for most record labels, because artists
who already have a strong
fan base, like Frank Ocean,
can simply sign deals with
streaming services instead of
signing their strict contracts.
Most artists would rather
be independent so they dont
have to abide by any rules or
make changes in their musical
style that are usually enforced
by the major record labels.
Oceans decision may create a ripple-effect within the
music industry, as more and
more artists are following in
his lead.
With the success of Frank
Oceans past two albums, and
the new-found freedom he
has received from ending his
record deal, fans are already
awaiting another album,
hopefully in less than four
years this time.

Anish Kapoor studio claims sole rights to

worlds least reflective substance
BY CAMI HICKMAN
STAFF WRITER

Its effectively like a paint...
Imagine a space thats so dark
that as you walk in you lose
all sense of where you are,
what you are, and especially
all sense of time.
Vantablack is the worlds
least reflective substance. Designed for the insides of telescopes and for military use, it
may also be used as a finish
for expensive watches and
electronics.
It absorbs 99.6 per cent of
light using carbon nano-tubules, making even crumpled
tinfoil look completely flat.
While incredibly useful and
visually stunning, Vantablack
is also expensive-- by weight,
it is more pricey than diamonds or gold, and the application can take days. Vantablack is causing a stir in the
art community because while
it is an incredibly desirable
material, only one artist is allowed to use it.
The studio of Anish Kapoor
has the exclusive rights to using Vantablack in art. Kapoor
is a widely acclaimed artist
who has long made projects
on a large scale and with
strange materials. He said of
the material, Its so black
you almost cant see it. It has
a kind of unreal quality.
Kapoors artistic monopoly

has sparked controversy from

the art community.
There have been precedents: artists have seized
rights for colors; however,
they had made the colors
themselves. Surely it must be
immoral, critics say, for him
to restrict the use of the material to himself!
However, the makers of
Vantablack argue that applying their product is not just
slathering it on: there is a
grueling and time-consuming
process, and dealing with export controls is difficult.
It remains to be seen how
Kapoor will use the material
in his creative endeavors.
