In order to submit this issue in time produced an abridged version, which we sent to be judged. This issue is the extended, full issue. As a newspaper, our primary goal is to communicate information as efpossible, thus this month, we chose to focus entirely on infographics. No articles were written; instead, every page visualizes data about topics that impact the Ladue and greater St. Louis community. By presenting this information

in a visual format, we hope that our readers will learn more about a wider range of subjects than our newspaper normally covers. We chose to focus this month’s indepth on division from the local to naby the issues that divide us. Within the St. Louis community, no physical feature better represents division than the Delmar Divide, a single line separating the various neighborhoods of St. Louis that represents disparities in wealth and race.

Within Ladue, we look at how Ladue’s budget is distributed, as well as the ways in which clubs fundraise cient funds. We also visualize the data behind various student activities, from the process behind unique hobbies such as crocheting and 3D modeling to the stats behind various Ladue sports. However, statistics are not limited to serious topics. Some infographics this month include a spotlight on Ladue fashion trends and a guide on developing a DIY indoor garden.

TEACHER Q&A
A breakdown of everything vaccine related
EFFICACY RATES: PROS AND CONS J&J 66% Moderna 86%
VACCINE TIMELINE
The most recent vaccine news
Pfizer 95%
These are the efficacy rates of three common vaccines. Looking at the numbers, one might assume J&J is “worse” than Pfizer. This assumption is false. Let’s examine why.
HOW DO WE FIND EFFICACY RATE? 1) A RANDOM HALF OF A SAMPLE GROUP RECIEVES A PLACEBO, THE OTHER HALF RECIEVES THE VACCINE
MAR. 1 The one dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine is approved for Emergency Use Authorization for distribution MAR. 11 President Joe Biden states adults 18 and older should get vaccine access by May 1 MAR. 19 100 million vaccines are distributed in the United States MAR. 31 15 million J & J doses are spoiled. The incident will not impact doses currently circulating Source: American Journal of Managed Care
2) THE SAMPLE IS SENT TO LIVE THEIR NORMAL LIVES
MOLLY BECK | social studies teacher
Vaccine recieved: Pfizer “After the second dose my arm was pretty sore for a couple of days and I did not feel well the day after.”
3) AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD, THE NUMBER OF CASES WITHIN THE ENTIRE SAMPLE GROUP IS USED TO CALCULATE EFFICACY RATE
VACCINE GROUP COVID CASES
2/10 cases in the vaccine group
PLACEBO GROUP COVID CASES
10 COVID cases in trial dose efficacy rate= 60 %
8/10 cases in the placebo group
This number generated from the above process fails to consider 1) context of clinical trial (did variants of COVID exist?) 2) the number of hospitalizations and deaths prevented by the dose Source: Vox
MIKE HILL | social studies teacher
Vaccine recieved: Pfizer “I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever from both the first and the second dose.”

Her involvement as a social worker helped her become a collaborative listener, curious learner and develop a passion for mental health.

Andrew Cohen Drawing from his experience as an owner of a small business, he understands how to interact with different types of people and deal with fiscal decisions. While he is in support of Prop L, he believes because the community is still in a pandemic, it isn’t the right time to pursue Prop L’s goals. He seeks to hone in on providing students with any additional services they may need during and after the pandemic.

Cosplaying Izzy Bernickus, 11th “I like the sort of escapism part. Because with cosplay, you have the makeup, you have the hair, you have the sewing and it’s time consuming. But once you see it all together, it’s a really liberating and nice, rewarding feeling. That’s what really makes it fun.”

Dungeons & Dragons Jackson Diblasi, 11th “When you play board games like Monopoly, you can expect that you’re going to have to make money and sell houses, but in D&D, anything can happen. I’ve played in the 1800s Western, in Indies in the year 3000 and in caveman times; it’s whatever you want it to be. Seeing your character that was just a piece of paper grow and develop and eventually create interactions is extremely impressive to me, and isn’t something you can get out of Scrabble.”

“About a year ago, I was in a 3D animation class when the teacher showed us a software called Blender, which could be used to make 3D models.

According to Caitlin Zaloom, a cultural anthropologist at New York University, “It used to be that a high school degree could allow a young adult to enter into the middle class. We are no longer in that situation.” Tuition costs rise each year, and most people simply cannot live off of a job that they get with a high school diploma. Students aren’t able to enroll in college and pay off their debt. As the disparity between wages and college costs grows, it’s clear that the only sensible option is to waive college tuition and have the government cover the cost.

Affordable Alternative
$79 < $91 billion to fund free college tuition in America
National Center of Education Statistics, US congressional records
billion already allocated on for subsidizing college attendance
We could use at least some of that money designated to other educational programs to pay for college tuitions so that taxing, if any at all, is minimal.

Restricted Rights Education is a human right. It is stated in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Article 26, that “to deny a human right and lock it behind a price is inherently immoral, such as locking water or freedom of speech behind a price.” High tuition makes it so that only the wealthy can have full access to their basic human rights. To put up the barrier of tuition onto college-level education is to deprive Americans of their basic rights.

Braking Breakthrough
Contesting Counterpoint
Four year public colleges already have tremendous demand for a spot at their school. Without cost as a barrier, demand for these spots in colleges would accelerate. With an increased demand for the same number of spots, tuition will increase. While not affecting the student, the taxes for Americans will surely rise to cover these costs. Additionally, an endless line of consumers ensures the guaranteed success for the institution’s profit, not the guaranteed success or education of the student. A government-funded college will cause less competition, stagnant growth in quality of education and an uptick in cost.
A common argument in favor of a taxpayer funded college is that college is a right, and therefore it should be provided by the government. Let’s assume that the right to college actually is somewhere hidden in the constitution. No other right is subsidized by the government. The government does not give handguns to everyone because of the Second Amendment. If college is a right, it means that the government should actually stay as far away as possible to not infringe on that right.

BURGER KING IMPOSSIBLE WHOPPER
FREDDY’S STEAKBURGERS VEGGIE BURGER Price: $5.69
Price: $5.59 The vegetables and top bun are slathered in mayonnaise, which has a slight lemony tang and sweetness that reminds me of melted ice cream.
The vegetables provide a textural contrast that gives the burger a nice crunchy bite. The slight spice of the onions and vinegary punch of the pickle are the real seasoning on the burger.
The Impossible Burger tastes surprisingly meat-like. There is a real smokiness that may scare any vegetarian into thinking they are eating a real burger. The addition of cheese adds a pungent, funky flavor that completes the overall meat taste.
The veggie patty has a mushy internal texture with a crunchy exterior with chunks of beans, corn and pepper that provide a natural flavor.
Since the vegetables are underneath the burger, they are mushy. However, with the crunchy texture of the patty above them, they are almost entirely unnoticeable, only providing additional vegetable flavor.
I would drink Freddy’s fry sauce by the gallon. It is an aioli-like thousand island sauce with a smoky tang that compliments the rest of the burger perfectly.

PREVENTION TIPS: INJURIES INJURY COMMON SPORTS INJURIES Athletic trainer Nate Wilmes shares insight on how to avoid injury while playing sports
CONDITIONING Contact heavy sports such as football commonly see COLLARBONE FRACTURES.
Engage in a full body flexibility program, STRETCH all of the major muscle groups, and an annual comprehensive STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING routine with varying work will help to prevent injury. FOAM ROLLING daily is another way to keep injuries down.
Many high impact athletes experience CONCUSSIONS.
DIET BROKEN WRISTS are a commonly seen sport injury with most breaks happening near the thumb.
Sports such as soccer, football, volleyball and basketball elicit ANKLE SPRAINS.
ACL injuries are most common in sports where a quick change of direction occurs such as soccer and basketball.
STRAWBERRIES are rich with antioxidants, which benefit hearth health and blood sugar.
Consume more FRUITS and VEGETABLES daily, and look for lean protein source. Carbohydrates give the body energy, so look to eat darker breads and bread products. As with any food source, the less processed, the better. MORE NATURAL is preferred. Always seek to drink more water. Proper HYDRATION is essential to keep injuries at bay.
