 The Bear In Mind Book Club which is South Campus’s student run book club is proud to be a part of “White Bear Reads.” This is a "one book - one community" reading program for the White Bear Lake Area including White Bear, Vadnais Heights, Hugo and Centerville. This year's book is Tales of the Road: Highway 61 by Cathy Wurzer. Included are stories that range from the Outlaw Bridge at the Canadian border to La Crescent, the Apple Capital of Minnesota, on the southern Minnesota border. Ms. Wurzer is currently the host of Morning Edition on Minnesota Public Radio. She is also the co-host of Almanac, a weekly public affairs program produced by Twin Cities Public Television.  The book is a companion piece to the documentary that aired on locally on public television. As part of “White Bear Reads” Shawn Gritzmacher’s film class is using the Highway 61 theme to produce documentaries. Cathy has made two visits to Mr.Gritzmacher’s class to talk about film techniques. Cathy’s videographer, Denny Behr gave students a wealth of tips to enhance the look of their presentations. On Cathy’s second visit, Lisa Blackstone discussed editing techniques to make their videos pop. The Bear In Mind Book Club invites students to meet Cathy Wurzer and kickoff the White Bear Reads program at the library in White Bear Lake on February 2 at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served.. |

On December 1st President Obama released his plan for the war in Afghanistan; to send 34,000 more troops to supplement our current troop level of 68,000 troops. He outlined his goals, to dismantle Al-Qaeda, to protect Pakistan, and to fight corruption in the Afghani government and the drug trade. While his plan had lofty goals, his plan will fail to lead to a more secure Afghanistan and thus a safer world because it will not address the Afghani opium trade, the recruitment of local police and military forces, and more pressing problems in Pakistan. |

It might surprise you that in several towns in Louisiana, “baggy pants” that show underwear have been outlawed. Should we do the same at South Campus? “No, because I really think it’s a fading fad,” says Mrs. Rekucki, a staff member who deals with discipline issues daily. The practice of wearing “baggy pants” is rumored to have originated in prisons. Prisons would confiscate belts so prisoners wouldn’t have the means to hang themselves thus resulting in pants that would sag. Another prison origin is that men wear their pants baggy to symbolize that they’re “available.” “I can’t stand looking at their underwear,” says Mrs. R disgustedly. “They walk ridiculous with them on. What if teachers and staff members dressed like that? Would you guys like it?” Mrs. R believes that uniforms would be a good idea since there wouldn’t be as much of a distraction in the classroom. “Affordability would be the main issue,” she says. Uniforms aren’t even on the radar for White Bear since it’s a public school, so if you’re worried, don’t. What’s in store for you if you break the dress code is a talk with Mrs. R, she’ll get a second opinion on your wardrobe, and you’ll be brought to the nurse to change. “It really is a health issue,” she says referring to the short skirts and shorts on desks. What was the person wearing who was in your desk before you? Think about it… |
