The Milken Diet
Gabi Kamran - Monday, May 13, 2013
Gabi Kamran Staff Writer “At Vicki’s Lunchbox, we support and encourage our children to make smart food choices, empowering them to embrace a healthy lifestyle,” reads the Vicki’s Lunchbox website. Smart food choices? Healthy lifestyle? Vicki’s Lunchbox? Those things definitely don’t belong in the same sentence. Every day when lunchtime rolls around, the campus is [...]
Israel in the divestment crosshairs
admin - Wednesday, March 13, 2013
I cannot reconcile this idea of a mean-spirited government, with the image of a country that invests heavily in defensive weaponry like the Iron Dome, instead of employing their extensive arsenal in an aggressive manner when they are attacked. To believe that Israel is rotten at its core is to ignore an abundance of evidence that testifies to the munificent characteristics of the country.
The Library Dilemma
Gabi Kamran - Monday, February 25, 2013
Gabi Kamran Staff Writer The other day, as I sat in the library’s Quiet Room studying, two students rose from their chairs and grabbed a whiteboard marker. They scribbled something on the board and quickly left the room, each trying hard not to laugh. When I turned to get a clear look at what they [...]
The SAT: A race to nowhere
Jodi Marcus - Monday, February 25, 2013
Jodi Marcus Staff Writer It’s everyone’s favorite season! No, not holiday season. It’s time for the SATs. Quite opposite from the happiest time of the year, these next few weeks will be the start of anxiety, stress and apprehension about the future for many juniors. In the midst of weekly tutoring and practice tests, it [...]
Ginger Uprising: A first-person perspective
stu58926 - Friday, February 22, 2013
Zachary Brenner and Justin Kroll Ginger Overlords Last summer, I huddled in my basement curled in a ball of fear. All around me I heard thumps and screams. It was “Kick a Ginger Day.” Listening to the terror of my fellow gingers, a minority in today’s predominantly dark-haired society, I realized that, fortunately, I was [...]
A lockdown and a wakeup
admin - Monday, February 11, 2013
We simply need to recognize that we are not encapsulated in an impervious bubble. With this understanding comes a responsibility to act in an appropriate manner during lockdown exercises. Treating these drills with the level of respect they deserve can go a long way in ensuring that the worst-case scenario does not become a catastrophe.
Cleanup Time
Ella Sherman - Wednesday, February 6, 2013
Ella Sherman Staff Writer While walking across campus, look around. The trash condition is getting out of hand. Plastic and lunch boxes are strewn across campus, and Milken faculty is at a loss for what to do. It is time that we, as a community, take responsibility. Students need to realize that our school is [...]
A eulogy for 30 Rock
stu64353 - Thursday, January 31, 2013
Anna Rae Stern Contributing Writer January 31 marks the end of an era—30 Rock is concluding its seven-year run on NBC. Its years were filled with laughter, joy, tears and just plain absurdity. For those who have not seen 30 Rock before, here is a crash course: 30 Rock is the brainchild of the brilliant Tina Fey. Fey, who [...]
Post-Tiferet Let Down
Jodi Marcus - Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jodi Marcus Staff Writer I remember going home one day after my first week back at Milken following Tiferet and completely breaking down. Unsure of how to categorize my feelings, I expressed that my life in Los Angeles was “boring” and “unfulfilling.” Looking back on that moment, I can now acknowledge how blessed and even [...]
Plenty of sports, no spirit
Leeat Elkayam - Friday, December 21, 2012
Leeat Elkayam Staff Writer Wildcat pride on campus is at an all time low. Students do not come to support fellow students while they play in their blue and white jerseys. I always hear people complain that they want to go to a more “normal” or “American” school. We now have a tackle football team [...]
