By Ugochi Onyeukwu With the recent shooting outside our school and the violent behavior surging through the halls of Cardozo, we can't help but wonder why anyone would think that the gun pledge, a simple piece of paper accompanied by no other type of reinforcement, would suffice for spreading the idea of peace to our students. We think that it's a total waste of paper. The administration should help students understand why violence is never...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

So that's when I realized that I needed a so I decided to teach music at Thurgood Marshall PG County Middle School in September 2000. Q: What was your inspiration? Why?

by Sheila Perez The D.C. Public School Modernization bill was passed last March which will supposedly fund the renovation of D.C.'s public schools. I have heard this plenty of times before but I have never seen any action. But what if the school was renovated? How would the school be kept clean? The school should not get renovated--here's why. One reason is that some students do not appreciate school property. They constantly write graffiti on...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

By Steven Belk Hip-hop artists rap about the same three subjects over and over: sex, money, and violence. It's undeniable that these topics sell records and few artists are creative or brave enough to stray away from them. Only a few rare artists such as Lupe Fiasco have the creativity and the courage to do something different. Lupe uses a cd as his canvas and a mic as his brush to paint a picture of...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

By Akua Danqua Does Cardozo deserve the negative reputation it has? As a new student I don't think it does, because I haven't had any negative experiences so far. Too often the people who put down Cardozo don't know about Cardozo first hand. All they know are the negative things that they have heard about from other people. Visitors don't stay in the environment long enough to form an unbiased opinion about Cardozo. Another reason...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

By: Mariah Stanley As I walked up the steps of Cardozo Senior High School for the first time I thought to myself how overwhelming this new school would be. With a bad impression from my sister already set in my mind, I was upset I would be attending this school also known as "Cardirty." I went to orientation upset but left sort of relieved that the staff I had met was so welcoming. What I...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

By Bianca Williams During the first ten minutes of fourth period, Mr. Crayton made an announcement over the loud speaker. "Teachers please step into the hallway to assist students to their class... because we are about to have a hall sweep." But why is he announcing that there will be a hall sweep?

Housing Boom Displaces Long Time Residents by Ugochi Onyeukwu Some may say that gentrification is helping the city because low-cost and deteriorated neighborhoods are being torn down and new buildings are being put in their place, but it is actually hurting D.C. Gentrification is the redevelopment of urban, usually low-income areas (often where African-Americans live) followed by the increase of wealthier (often Caucasian) residents that displaces the poorer residents. Gentrification is unfair and shows that,...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

by Ugochi Onyeukwu The Symptoms of Senioritis Every senior has felt it, that urge to just drop all your books and scream "I can't do this anymore." Most cases of senioritis begin after college applications and mid-year reports have been sent in, but in extreme cases it might start the first day of senior year or earlier. Senioritis affects everyone, regardless of sex, age, height, race etc. Senioritis can be deadly to ones grades and...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

If you were the new mayor in D.C what would be your two priorities? by Maria Aguilar Ms. Barron: I would provide more low-income housing in the city by forming a partnership with companies that offer low wage jobs, such as Starbucks, Pot Belly Sandwich, and others. These companies would contribute money to a city housing account to provide subsidies to workers employed at low wage jobs.

By Leon Lee According to www.historyofnations.net, Liberia, which means "land of the free," was founded by freed slaves from the United States in 1820. These freed slaves were part of the American Colonization Society. They first arrived in Liberia and established a settlement in Christopolis, now Monrovia (named after U.S. President James Monroe), on February 6, 1820. This group of 86 immigrants formed the beginning of the settler population of what became known as the...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

No one seems to care as we wait for the inevitable announcement that follows almost every fire alarm at Cardozo: "Please disregard the bell." We've all become so used to this; we've become immune to the fire alarm. The lack of regard for our fire...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.
