The recent UBC grievance regarding class imbalances raised several important points, but its proposed solution – eliminating self-scheduling altogether – called for removal of one of the institutions that distinguishes Lowell from other academic schools. Principal Paul Cheng’s March 14 response to the grievance fairly addressed the system’s problems, giving all parties a chance to influence the final decision while also providing a short-term solution for next semester.

Increasingly, American businesses are turning their eyes to China's expansive markets and seemingly unlimited workforce. However, they fail to realize, or choose to ignore, that although China is economically capitalist, it is politically communist.
While investing in China may benefit Chinese who are already well to do, much of that money never reaches the common people, who continue to remain illiterate, hungry, orphaned and medically uncared for. As of 2001, only 80.7 out of 10,000 people in rural areas receive periodical and fixed government relief funds, according to a United Nations country report on the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific Web site (unescap.org).

Convicted murderer Michael Morales’ Feb. 21 execution at San Quentin was delayed when Morales’ lawyers brought up new evidence that showed that some recently executed inmates may have been partially conscious and therefore suffered severe pain as they were put to death, according to a February article in the San Francisco Chronicle. In light of this, state legislators are currently reevaluating California’s lethal injection methods in hopes of determining a more “humane” punishment.

During the 1950s, Elvis Presley, also known as “Elvis the Pelvis,” introduced a fast, scandalous style of dancing and performing, gyrating his hips in a sexually suggestive manner. While millions of fans around the globe swooned at these signature hip movements, others called him a “prime factor in the loss of inhibition and youth rebellion” during the sexual revolution, according to television host Ed Sullivan in an interview with Presley in 1956. Yet he was able to openly display his trademark dance style even on national television, and his dance moves eventually lost their shock value.

Self-scheduling is fundamental to Lowell
Andrew Lee
A recent UBC grievance regarding class imbalances raises several important points, but its proposed solution – eliminating self-scheduling altogether – removes one of the institutions that distinguishes Lowell from other academic schools. Taking an action this drastic should involve serious consideration of both the pros and the cons of arena scheduling.
Obviously, the current system has too many loopholes that crafty Lowell students often exploit along with myriad inefficiencies that create impractical or incomplete schedules.

Administrators breach trust
T. Riley York
Lowell students are not like other students for the exact same reason that Lowell is not like other schools.
The administration gives us the freedom to pick our own classes, to schedule our own lunches, to have illegal schedules where we don’t get lunches and to leave campus on our off Mods.
All of these differences represent something we hold dear: the trust between the administration and the student body that defines us as a school.

Since the United States first became a nation, a white male has always occupied the position of commander-in-chief. Can a female president-elect be next?

It has come to our attention that recently a machine for the distribution of frozen fruit bars has been installed next to the Lowell High School bookroom. Basically, we are appalled and outraged. Perhaps, the people who installed this machine didn’t even realize what they were doing. The beloved frozen fruit bar vendors, paleteros, who tour the city with their signature carts as they chime their bells bringing joy and happiness to the youth of this great city, are threatened by the prospect of losing their jobs to this machine.

Police actions shameful
The Lowell Staff
Recently 20 members of the San Francisco Police Department created a video mocking members of the African American, Asian, and female community. They were suspended and then reinstated one week later.
Officer Andrew Cohen said that he made the video, Inside the SFPD: The Bayview, as a tribute to former Bayview precinct Captain Rick Bruce and had hoped to show it at the station’s Christmas party, according to an article in The San Francisco Chronicle. Although the videos were supposed to have been made in good fun, Cohen missed the comedy mark and went straight
