Inequalities evident in campus sports

No writer shown, editorial

Their story was about how in school sports women are not allowed to run/exercise in their sports bras while a man can take off his shirt and it be seen as okay. In other sports as well some of the uniforms can be a little bit inappropriate as in too short or too tight but it be seen as okay because they are made to dress like that.

The opinion is that if men can do something, women should too. People should be able to wear what they want when they are exercising."If one gender is allowed this privilege, then the other should be able to use it. Girls should be allowed to remove their shirts and just wear their sports bras to cool down as long as guys are allowed to run without a shirt."

No they didn't, they only talked about their side.

I don't believe it was wish-washy, it was just laying down facts.

Changes in the iPhone 7

Harrison  Louis wrote this piece.

Harrison's story was about how he believes the iPhone 7 is the best phone on the market. The new features and upgrades are a lot more impressive than other companies.

"While the updates may seminar. they're all been necessary updates Apple should have made a while ago, which is why I believe the iPhone 7 is the best phone on the market right now."

He addressed the fact that people don't like how the phone doesn't come with a headphone jack and then gave them why that isn't a problem.

No they were not wish-washy.

There are no quotes in Harrison's story.

Stricter finals incentive

Douglas Smith wrote this piece.

Douglas's story was about how last year the incentives were great, being able to use an unlimited amount, but now this year you can use 2 if you're a senior or junior and 1 if you are a freshman or sophomore.

"The way I saw it, this was just another action by the school that was taking any students freedom, even if we had only gotten those liberties in the last year, current;y I share the opinion of many other students on the matter which is a combination of resignation and discontent.

He didn't say the other side of the story, he just told his point of view.

Douglas kinda was, acknowledging the fact maybe if there was another way kids with AP classes should have more incentives than regular classes kids.

Changes to schedule cause issues both in school and after school.

This story was written by Ian Miller.

Ian's story is about how the new A/B schedule that now includes fit for 20 minutes everyday is completely unfair due to the fact of now school is 20 minutes longer and due dates for classes are different due to different days.

"I think these changes made to the schedule are extremely unnecessary and unfair."

Their opinion was certainly not wishy-washy. They made it clear what they think is how it is.

Epicene costs raises concerns over financial problems

This was written by Maria Demopoulos.

 This story is about the cost raise in the Epipen over the years and how it's unfair to the people who do have allergies and need them.

"The price for this life saving tool is incredibly ridiculous and inhuman to charge an amount for something that saves lives."

Not completely, but she did talk about the alternative to the Epipen that is cheaper.

This is not wishy-washy.

The differences in a hard news story and an opinion piece is that a news story only tells the facts, the story. An opinion piece is their story with it and how they feel.

There are not that many photos because it is telling how something effects them, not on the spot events.

Dress code, how school should get out earlier, why a female should be president, and how there shouldn't be any homework.
