Welcome to a new year at the High School Assembly. To
the new freshman - welcome, it’s the beginning of an
exciting chapter. To the new seniors - welcome to the close. You have important jobs waiting for you.
The past few weeks, for those of you watching the
news, have marked a new movement called Occupy Wall Street. This movement is an uprising of those feeling
oppressed by the upper class. This group consists of all
sorts of people. College students to senior citizens have
been gathring outside state capitols across the nation to make their voices heard.
Unfortunately, many of these people have been
no more mature than the politicians and millionaires
oppressing them. The ‘peaceful assemblies’ have been littered with riots and vandalization. These sorts of
activities are not utilization of free speech - they are
crimes. Sometimes it seems that free speech can only occur in a pure form here, in the press, stated with graceful prose, vigor and emotion.
As young people soon to be tossed into the
world, you’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again:
our nation’s problems rest on your shoulders, and I
encourage you to get a start on it right here and now.
This sinking ship will only hold its course for so long,
and it will take a group effort to fix it. There’s never been 2928 Ingersoll Ave. Des Moines, IA 50312 PH: 515.283.1933 FAX: 515.283.1646 isceditor@iowasportsconnection.com

College Prep Test Prep: Choosing the ACT or SAT www.petersons.com Are you ready for test prep and facing the registration deadlines, feeling pressured to choose, and wondering whether the ACT or SAT is better? Relax! The reality is that neither test is superior to the other. ACT vs. SAT The decision of which one to take may be determined simply by whatever admission criteria is laid out by your school of choice. However, if the school doesn’t specify which test they want, making the “best” choice doesn’t have to be difficult. Although there is no hard science that proves that the ACT or SAT is easier, you probably want to determine which test format is better suited to your strengths. Each test has different emphases and familiarity with their individual structures may help you sort out which is better suited to you. Take a look at the following comparison of the ACT and SAT to help
you decide. Test preparation for the ACT The ACT sports four trademark multiple-choice subject tests covering English, Math, Reading, and Science. These are designed to evaluate your overall educational development and your ability to complete collegelevel work. You’ll have 2 hours and 55 minutes of dedicated test time to complete the subject tests, not including breaks. As far as scoring goes, your subject test scores (ranging from 1 to 36) are determined after throwing out any incorrect answers — only correct responses count! The four areas are then averaged together to come up with your overall, or composite, score. The ACT also includes an optional 30-minute writing test designed to measure your skill in planning and writing a short essay. This segment is your chance to highlight your writing skills! If you opt to take it, the additional scores will be reported, along with comments about your essay. These scores are reported separately.
So, if writing is a weak area, you might want to take the ACT and skip the writing section, since it’s currently optional (although some schools require it). If writing is your strength, having extra kudos passed on to your choice schools may benefit you. Test preparation for the SAT When looking at the SAT in comparison to the ACT, a clear difference is that the SAT is designed to evaluate your general thinking and problem-solving abilities. It kicks things off with a required 25-minute essay. This is the start to the Writing section, which you’ll complete in addition to the Critical Reading and Math sections. The SAT differs from the ACT in terms of the amount of time you’ll have to complete it (3 hours and 5 minutes) and the format in which you provide your answers. Similar to the ACT, the SAT has multiple-choice areas, but it also has a part in the Math section where you’ll be required produce your answers — no chance of guessing from a set of choices here! -cont. on pg. 5

College Prep Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Press release from iowacollegeaid.gov A state-funded program intended to encourage individuals to enter and continue in the teaching profession in Iowa is a key factor in recipients’ decisions to remain in the state. The Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program, administered by the Iowa College Student Aid Commission (Iowa College Aid), provides eligible teachers working in designated shortage areas in Iowa with student loan repayment assistance for up to five consecutive years. The program, established in 2007, assists between 150 and 250 Iowa educators each year. The findings come from a survey Iowa College Aid recently conducted of current and past recipients of the Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program. The purpose of the survey was to see if the program influenced teachers’ decisions about working in Iowa and serving in instructional shortage areas. While the majority of respondents indicated that the program did not influence their intentions to enter the teaching profession, it proved to be very influential in their decision to stay and teach in Iowa. “Almost 60 percent of our respondents said the program influenced their decision to remain teaching in Iowa,” said Todd Brown, director of student financial aid programs at Iowa College Aid. “In addition, nearly 45 percent also said that the program influenced their decision to teach in a designated
shortage subject area. While this program receives only a small portion of the total state-appropriated financial aid available in Iowa, it is keeping teachers in Iowa who may have otherwise left the state for higher salaries.” With nearly one-third of all public school teachers in Iowa over the age of 50, the State of Iowa will need to attract and retain new teachers to replace those who will retire over the next decade. While the Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program receives limited annual funding (less than 1 percent of total state appropriations for scholarship, grant and loan forgiveness programs) this survey shows that it is contributing to the state’s efforts to attract and retain educators. Ryan M. Pirtle, a teacher at Des Moines East High School, stayed in Iowa to teach because of the Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program. “The [Iowa Teacher] Loan Forgiveness Program has helped to reduce the long-term costs associated with student loan debt,” explained Pirtle. “Because of the student loan forgiveness program, I stayed in Iowa to teach food and nutrition, helping to fill a [state] teacher shortage gap in family and consumer sciences.” Any fully-licensed teacher with federal student loan debt who began teaching in Iowa on or after July 1, 2007, and teaches in a shortage area (as designated by the Iowa Department of Education) is eligible to apply for the program. Funding for the program is limited, with renewal applicants and those serving in the highest need areas
receiving top priority. “Unfortunately, due to funding levels, we are not able to provide assistance to all deserving teacherapplicants,” explains Brown. “This past year we provided loan forgiveness to 186 Iowa teachers, less than half of the number of applications that were received. Less than one percent of all teachers in Iowa receive assistance through the Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program.” Many college students in Iowa take on heavy student loan debt to finance their education. The average student loan debt for 2009 Iowa college graduates is nearly $29,000, the fourth highest in the nation. For those who aspire to become teachers, student loan payments can take up a large portion of the modest salary many new Iowa teachers earn. The minimum base salary for Iowa teachers is currently $28,000. The American Federation of Teachers providesrankings of average salaries for beginning teachers by state. Iowa ranked 9th among Midwest states and 39th in the nation for average beginning salary in 2006-2007. The Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program provides a maximum award of up to 20 percent of the recipient’s total eligible federal student loan balance each year for up to five consecutive years, making student loan repayment more manageable for Iowa teachers. More information about the Iowa Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program can be found on Iowa College Aid’s website at www.IowaCollege Aid.gov or by calling Iowa College Aid at 877-272-4456.

College Prep Test Prep: Choosing the ACT or SAT -cont. from pg. 3
And unlike the ACT, the SAT doles out a slight penalty for wrong answers on the multiple choice questions (but not on the studentproduced ones). When considering the ACT vs. the SAT, keep in mind that both tests allot ample time for completion, but the SAT has fewer questions — 140 compared to the 215 on the ACT. The SAT also focuses heavily on vocabulary, while the ACT hones in on grammar and punctuation. SAT Subject Tests The SAT also provides you with the chance to take Subject Tests. A few schools may require you to take some of these tests as additional requirements to your admission application. It’s possible you won’t need to take any, but you may want to consider it if you have

strengths in particular areas. All of your scores from these additional tests will be reported, whether they were required or not. If you’re concerned that your scores on the required SAT sections may be less than stellar, consider registering for — and getting test prep in — additional Subject Tests in areas that can demonstrate your skills in specific subjects like English, history, mathematics, science, and various languages. ACT or SAT: It all depends on you In spite of their differences, neither test is more likely than the other to produce a great score. In fact, when viewing a comparison of the ACT and SAT, the vast majority of students perform comparably on both tests. You may not even need to think in terms of ACT vs. SAT. If the colleges you’re interested in accept scores from either test, you may
want to consider taking both admissions tests. Each one tests you in a different way, so you might opt to take both to see which one you perform better on. However, if you’re short on time and money and want to put your efforts towards test prep for only one of the tests, your best bet is to take a few practice exams. There are free and low-cost practice exams available electronically and inprint. If you are starting early and considering the tests as a sophomore, you may still have time to take the PLAN, which is similar to a practice ACT, or the PSAT, which is similar to a practice SAT. If you’re undecided about taking the ACT or SAT, you may feel more strongly about one or the other once you become familiar with the format of both. You can then evaluate your test performance before heading off for the real thing.

Aca Character Counts program honors Taylor with award Hannah Darr Indianola As students were enjoying their summer, Indianola High School’s Vice Principal, John Taylor, received The Educator of Character Award. This award is given to one teacher or administrator in the state of Iowa each year. Taylor was recognized for his outstanding character by his practice of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship in his everyday life. Former Governor Robert Ray presented the award to Taylor at a banquet August 5th. “Governor Ray was a leader when I was young, it was very neat to receive an award from someone I have always respected” says Taylor. High School Principal Trent
Grundmeyer nominated Taylor for this award. Grundmeyer received The School Administrator of Character award in 2007. “After working with Taylor for a year, I saw how he worked with students and staff. He works hard every day to encourage others and be a better person,” says Grundmeyer Taylor originally declined the nomination; yet former students Sam Gorsche, Anna McConnell and Dean of Students Liz Clark had already submitted letters of recommendation to Character Counts in Iowa. Taylor received an invitation to the Character Counts banquet in the summer, and was presented the award in front of over 500 people. “It is very humbling,” says Taylor. Taylor grew up in a small town in Iowa. This is where Taylor says he learned to be a person of good character.
“My parents, school, church, and 4-H instilled it in me” says Taylor, “I had great mentors in high school and beyond who taught me to learn from mistakes and do the right thing”. -cont. on pg. 11
The leading cause of death in young Iowans, aged 16-20, is fatal car crashes. The Iowa Department of Public Safety-Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) is focused on helping deter one of Iowa's and the nation's bleakest statistic: Nationwide, a total of 58,000 drivers ages 16-20 were involved in fatal crashes; crashes which took the lives of 6,400 individuals. Additionally, in 2009, 41 young people ages 15-20 were killed in Iowa fatal crashes.
Several factors contribute to these unfortunate statistics: Distracted Driving - Texting While Driving - Alcohol Use Speeding - No Seatbelts - Inexperience

Taylor also says he continues to learn more about character through his experiences in the military and daily encounters with students and staff. “I work with a fantastic group of teachers and students, they have been with me through many big moments in my life” says Taylor. Teachers and upperclassmen remember showing support for Taylor when he was in Iraq in 2009-10. The ‘Lip Dub’ is famous in not only Indianola, but beyond. It has been viewed over 20,000 times online. The Lip Dub was a project set into action by Randy Stone’s video production class. They incorporated all students at the high school into this video by having a few lip sync to the song, “You’ve got a Friend in Me” by Randy Newman, while others represented different clubs and activities around the
school. This video was sent over to Mr. Taylor while he was deployed in Iraq. “Taylor truly cares for students, and takes the time to get to know you,” says senior Tyler Krpan. Taylor’s reputation of good character is also shared among the staff. “Taylor is a well respected man of the school and the community. He is honest and genuine, and that’s hard to come by,” says Guidance Counselor Jori Coghlan. Taylor is very honored and touched by this award, and wants to share what he has learned from it with everyone around him, “I was always taught that when you are given a gift or learn a lesson, the best thing to do is share it with someone.

Student New library offers lounges of love Molly Riordan Des Moines Hoover A short time before the school year began, the Franklin Avenue Library reopened its doors at its original location at 5000 Franklin Avenue. Now that school is in session, students can use the new library for studying. There are many new features at the library that students can use to help them with school. With more computers and laptop plug-ins, there is more than books to help ease the burden of studying. Senior Indira Sheumaker started off volunteering at the library, and now works there. She hasn’t yet had a chance to, but she plans on using the library’s resources to help her with school. Shuemaker enjoys the new color scheme and ambience, but it’s not all fun and games. “When it’s busy, it’s hell,” she said. A few of Shuemaker’s jobs are sorting books, re-shelving them, doing shelf checks to make sure books are in order, keeping the library clean, and occasionally

closing. Despite all that, she loves working there. Another person who loves working at Franklin is the branch manager, Kathy Bognanni. Part of her job is selecting a portion of the books, movies and CDs that the library purchases. There are many new opportunities for teens to get involved with the library. The Teen Advisory Board is a group that meets and discussed (sic) topics like how to improve the library to benefit students. The new study rooms were a suggestion from them. With the new energy-saving movement, the library has also decided to go green. “The library’s trying to set an example for the community,” Bognanni said. Franklin is trying to currently achieve the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. The highest achievement. This is the first Des Moines Public Library building that is LEED registered. Along with the new energy efficiency, the library has also stepped up their technology. New online databases are available to the public now. One of the databases is a site
that has practice ACT and SAT tests for students to prepare themselves. The tests are free and anyone can access them. In addition if students need help with homework or understanding concepts, the library offers online tutoring. The library pays for certain hours so that students can get free help. The tutoring is interactive and helps by going through the process of getting an answer instead of just spitting out an answer. It can ever (sic) read over paragraphs and critique them for a student’s essay. With at least twenty different links on their website to help out students, the library keeps up with the growing influence of the Internet for the public. New times calls for new technology. “One good thing about libraries is that they do really try to grow with the time,” Bognanni said. Franklin has modified itself to keep up with changing technology; acquiring new books, new technology, and new energy efficient policies; all for the benefit of the public.

Enter Gordon-Levitt can do no wrong Ethan Clevenger Staff Writer As a child star, Joseph GordonLevitt was unassumingly seeing angels on the baseball field next to stars like Christopher Lloyd, Tony Danza and Danny Glover. Since “(500) Days of Summer” hit the world in 2009 with a twenty-something Gordon-Levitt at the helm, it seems he can do no wrong. His latest release, “50/50”, continues this trend of stupendous movies. Gordon-Levitt’s new role is as Adam, a young radio program producer who is suddenly and unexpectedly struck with a rare form of cancer which has developed as a mass on his spine. Based on a true story, Adam’s journey to battle this affliction is touching, emotional and heart-warmingly real. Gordon-Levitt has a gift for being completely transparent in his acting - you’d never know. He’s seamlessly stepped into all of his latest roles and doesn’t disappoint this time around. Adam is an average guy with an average best friend, an average (if not very
attractive) girlfriend, and relatively average parents. The average-ness of this situation is exactly what makes it so attractive as a film. Gordon-Levitt is this everyman - just like you - and he gets cancer. It can happen to anyone, and you won’t forget. “50/50” offers one of the first real looks at someone getting cancer. Up until now, it seems it’s always about an older person or it’s drawn into this sappy, cry-youreyes-out drama. “50/50” instead says “Hey, cancer happens - this is how we actually deal.” Gordon-Levitt presents this extremely well. He looks goofy when he’s crying - not because he’s acting, but because everyone does. He plays perfectly the young, fledgling, awkward-relationship-with-hisparents-because-they-still-miss-him homeowner. And he brings to the table the front a young person dealing with fragility might put up to concerned friends and family. Funny-man Seth Rogan plays Adam’s goofy best friend Kyle. He’s at Adam’s corner at every turn being both humorous and honest. Nobody is pushing this film as a comedy, which is a bit unusual for Rogan, but he shows that he can fit into some different
shoes. Just like that guy you knew in high school, Kyle is surprisingly going the extra mile for Adam, but keeping it light at the same time. Hollywood sweetheart Anna Kendrick stars as Adam’s psychiatrist Katherine as he deals with the trauma of being diagnosed with cancer. Filmgoers may remember her from the Twilight movie, but if you’re of a more mature audience, perhaps 2010’s “Up in the Air”, starring alongside George Clooney. While it’s easy to say that Kendrick is simply playing the same character, you have to admit she does it rather well. She’ll have you saying “daww” at every corner with her flustered and fresh attitude and that charming smile. The role fits her well being that Katherine is new at her job. Anyone with experience may have been a stretch for Kendrick. The film is based on a true story, and it’s pulling at every heart string. From his dad with Alzheimer’s to the slips and slides that still happen in life even when you have cancer, this film brings it all and brings it hard. It has the potential to be a crier, but brings is with genuine story and acting, not with the goal of it from the start.
