A Protest for Pride

By Suquoia Geary and
Taylor Jetter
Staff Writers
Tension was in the air when
two opposing groups of people
butted heads in downtown San
Diego on October 16, 2009.
One group was comprised
of members of an extremist
group known as the Westboro
Baptist Church (WBC), pro-
moting the slogan “God Hates
Fags.” The group believes their
picketing will bring needed re-
form to the U.S.
The other group was a gath-
ering of gays and straights
alike, working together to pro-
test the WBC. Their voices
were heard outside San Di-

SDSU Tightens its Admissions Process
Staff Writer
In past years, many LJHS se-
niors have been able to apply
to San Diego State University
without fear of rejection. Lo-
cal students who lived south of
Route 56 or Imperial County
were given priority acceptance.
Those who had thought college
was out of reach were able to
rely on SDSU as a school that
would provide admission de-
spite lower test scores and aca-
demic grades. Students who
lived outside the focus area
were required to have higher
grade-point averages than
those with the borders.
However, starting with the
freshman class of 2010, there
will be a universal require-
ment for all students wishing
to apply, no matter what part
of San Diego they live in. Due
to harsh state budget cuts, San
Diego State is becoming a
more selective school and get-

Not only is it getting harder

“Budget cuts are concerning
because the UC schools are be-
coming less accessible to even
strong California students,” se-
nior Angie Callvelli said.
Severe state budget cuts are
also affecting the twenty-three
CSU campuses. All of the
schools have had to raise tu-
ition fees by almost 20 percent.

Taylor Swift

  Swift not only sold the most country

music albums of a female artist this
year, but she also established herself
as an artist. Taylor, nineteen, used the

    Swift has enough brains, charisma,
and talent to last a long time in the
business.

1999 in Tennessee, the band’s song
“Use Somebody” garnered them
attention. Their music is a fresh cool
breeze, differing from all the other
