On November 8th, the 2016 presidential election came to an end. In spite of what the media and the polls predicted, Donald J. Trump won the election. He won the electoral college vote in a landslide, but lost the popular vote, which had interesting and very telling results. With a Trump presidency approaching, the United States is guaranteed some considerable changes. Mr. Trump’s most important goals have been made very clear. He first intends to “drain the swamp” in Washington of corruption and to fight what he and many other Americans consider to be an ineffective establishment. He also intends to deport millions of illegal immigrants. He plans to make the economy more profitable for everyone through conservative policies. As for Obamacare, Mr. Trump seems to want to repeal and replace it. He will also have to fill at least one Supreme Court vacancy. The election’s popular vote came very close, with Mr. Trump winning approximately one percent less of the population. In counties with large cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Newark, Hillary Clinton won by massive margins, whereas Mr. Trump won similarly strong victories in rural counties. Suburban counties frequently had close margins, or voted strongly in favor of the candidate from the party they traditionally prefer. This large disparity between rural and urban voters has been increasing over the last several years. Political science professor Steven Schier believes this is because rural voters feel “America is moving away from them” politically, and forgetting their needs and concerns. During his campaign, Mr. Trump promised to fight corruption and bureaucratic inefficiency in Washington. He and many other Americans feel that Congress is corrupt, incompetent, and only interested in enriching its members by catering to big businesses. The President-elect needs to appoint around 4,000 people to his administration because of the many officials who will resign after President Obama’s presidency ends, so Mr. Trump and his staff are currently compiling a list of new bureaucrats. Some of his appointees are politicians who understand the federal government very well, such as Chairman of the Republican National Committee Reinhold “Reince” Priebus. Other appointees have never held any office and are more controversial, such as Stephen Bannon, executive chairman of Breitbart News. Perhaps the most important issue of Mr. Trump’s campaign was illegal immigration. President-elect Trump’s official plan is to, on day-one, begin deporting all illegal immigrants who have committed crimes and to begin enforcing immigration laws more strictly, not allowing any more illegal immigrants in. When
Mr. Trump was on 60 Minutes and was asked about law-abiding, undocumented immigrants, he said he is unsure about whether or not to deport them and that he will “make a determination” later, but also remarked that he considers them to be “terrific people.” As for Muslim refugees, he plans to accept nearly none of them, citing the negative effects the refugees have had on Europe. Mr. Trump will only accept migrants that pass “extreme vetting,” ensuring that they are not radical and will not threaten American values with Middle-Eastern culture. Mr. Trump intends to rebuild the U.S. economy through old conservative methods. This will mean lower taxes for everyone, policies that give American businesses an advantage over foreign ones, and fewer corporate regulations. He also intends to spend one trillion dollars on America’s “crumbling infrastructure.” Most importantly, he intends to bring jobs and factories back from China by taxing goods produced there. This is meant to give the working class more jobs. Economists, even conservative ones, generally oppose this plan and are confident it will hurt the economy, so it is possible that some of these policies will be rethought. Mr. Trump intends to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a new healthcare system. It will share some similarities with Obamacare, but there are some key differences. For example, having health insurance will no longer be mandatory. Also, this new system will allow health insurance to be sold across state lines, which the President-elect believes will help make health insurance more competitive and therefore better its quality. Then there is the issue of the Supreme Court, which has made this election very high-stakes. Since Mr. Trump won, he will have the power to fill Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat, thus restoring the balance of the Supreme Court justices’ political views. It is also likely that at least one more justice will pass away or retire within the next four years. The President-elect could make as many as four appointments to the Supreme Court by the end of his presidency because of that possibility. For example, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 83 years old, so she is especially likely to leave her position. Ginsburg leaving would reduce the number of liberal justices by one and allow Mr. Trump to add another conservative justice, creating a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court that will last for many years after the Trump presidency. Had Clinton won, a left-wing majority would have had the chance to come into existence. During the Trump presidency, some fear this conservative Supreme Court could be guaranteed to overturn Roe V. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in the entire country. The legality of abortion would once more be up to each state to decide. It will certainly be fascinating to see how the country changes, or does not, under the Trump presidency.

International Alliance’s Garba Night By Hardi Upadhyay and Anushka Negi Staff Writer, Guest Contributor On November 4th, Garba Night was held in Lawrence High School, from 6:30 - 9:00 P.M.. The event was held by the International Alliance Club in celebration of Navratri. The Navratri Festival is celebrated to worship the nine forms of Goddess Durga, the Hindu Goddess of power. It is a very important Hindu festival and celebrated all over India. Navratri is a sanskrit word for “Nine Nights”. In Navratri, people gather in groups to perform dances like Dandiya and Garba. Garba is a form of dance which originated in the state of Gujarat in India. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word Garbha (“womb”) and Deep (“a small earthen lamps”). Many traditional garbas
are performed around a centrally lit lamp or a picture or statue of the Goddess Durga. It is performed in a circle as a symbol of the Hindu view of time. The celebration was held in the L.H.S. gym. Many students attended the event with their parents and guardians. It was a colorful event. Students were seen in traditional dresses known as lehngas, suits, and kurtas. Lots of music was played. Tickets were $3 at the door and the turnout was great. Everyone enjoyed the event; it gave the students a feel for Indian culture and festivals.

Cardinal Football: The Season at a Glance By Adam Kosiba Staff Writer
What a comeback, Cardinals! The Lawrence Cardinals have had a fantastic athletic season this fall, especially the football team. They sprang up from a period of downfall by finishing this season 7-3 and making it to the playoffs, which has not happened since 2013. It’s also a neat bonus that throughout the last quarter of the season the team was able to play on the new turf surrounded by striking lights that enabled thrilling night games. I was able to talk to one of the best known football players on the team, Eddie Williams, about new tactics used this season and how the team improved. “With some players we averaged 250 yards on the field when
running the football, opening up opportunities for us to pass. We really put up a lot of points this year where we were down and we figured out a way to put points on the board and pull out the win,” said the athlete. The team was extremely driven by a group of very successful and ambitious coaches such as Coach Jones, Coach Freeman, and Coach D’Amelio. With a summer full of training, daily practices that lasted over three hours, and team bonding that allowed the players to work together better than ever before, the team was bound for success. To Williams, what makes football at Lawrence special is that it “is about giving your all and doing everything you can with your family. I would’ve played football even if I attended a different school, but I wouldn't have been the same player that I am being on the L.H.S. team.” With that being said, we can all assume that Lawrence High School football is on the rise again, so make sure to support the team in the future and celebrate the fantastic comeback they have made in the 2016 season. Way to go!

The History of Thanksgiving When Thanksgiving is mentioned, the By Milena Bimpong food is probably the first thing that comes to Assistant Editor most people’s minds. However, Thanksgiving has a very interesting history. Thanksgiving originated in Plymouth in 1621. It was celebrated among the colonists and Wampanoag Indians. This was remembered as the first Thanksgiving feast, which lasted for three days. President Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving an official U.S. holiday in 1863, over 200 years later. One of the oldest and well-known Thanksgiving traditions is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which first took place in 1924, and it is still held annually. After legislation made under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the holiday is now the third Thursday of November in the United States. In Canada, it is celebrated on the second Monday of October.
The purpose of this holiday is for people to be thankful for all of the positive things they have in life. Even though Thanksgiving tends to be overlooked because it takes place between Halloween and Christmas, it is still a very meaningful holiday. Thanksgiving teaches people that it is important to be grateful for what they have, and that they should show appreciation towards the people who love and care about them. We should be thankful not just on Thanksgiving, but during every other day of the year as well. Thanksgiving is a fun and enjoyable holiday that brings families and friends together, and it is celebrated by people from all walks of life.

Book Review: The Namesake The Namesake is an American book first written as a novella. Jhumpa Lahiri, Staff Writer the author, describes the obstacles that the protagonist, Gogol, must go through as the son of two immigrants from India and the cultural barriers he must discover and bear in America. Lahiri is a very successful Indian American author who bases much of her work on her own life; The Namesake is no exception, as she expresses her own and other’s experiences. Lahiri won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for her work, and has gained much acclaim for The Namesake. The novel is a journey dating from before the protagonist is born and up to his marriage. Because of a mishap at the hospital, Gogol’s father, Ashoke, gives him his name, which is different from that of a typical Bengali. His name also serves as a memory of a traumatic experience that Ashoke went through when he read Gogol’s, the Russian writer’s, short stories before he endured a train crash. As a child, Gogol is teased for his odd name and, as an adult, it torments him. Preferring his other name, Nikhil, Gogol struggles with his Indian home identity
By Sophie Gregrowski
and American outside identity. At every turn, Gogol finds himself defying his family’s wishes in relationships as well as schools. Unlike his father’s choice to teach at M.I.T., Gogol instead chooses to go to Yale, and later, Columbia. However, when tragedy suddenly strikes his family, it is up to Gogol to adopt the leading role in his household. Although originally averted towards the idea of acknowledging his roots, Gogol learns to balance his culture, despite the obvious challenges he experiences, and flourishes. Gogol finally feels settled in his identity and name, and even marries an Indian American woman. Later, when events take a turn for the worse in his own marriage, once again, he is forced to address his identity and ends up taking another look at his own life and the meaning of his name. This novel is certainly a great read for students and adults who are interested in a subtle, casual book that holds much more weight than it seems. A perfect portrait of students all around the nation, The Namesake is a book that surely many will enjoy and with which they will empathize. Although it is faintly portrayed, this book deals with much larger themes that are applicable to immigrant citizens and their families everywhere, as well as the struggles that people face in finding their identities, in both childhood and adulthood.
How did the Running Man and Mannequin Challenges Start? By Sam Royster
Where did all of the current trends come from? It seems that the Running Man Staff Writer Challenge and the Mannequin Challenge are all anyone can talk about today, but how did they begin? These questions have bothered me for weeks, and I have found the answers. Kevin Vincent and Jeremiah Hall, two high schoolers from New Jersey, were bored in their finance class. So they started doing the Running Man dance to the 1995 hit song, “My Boo”. It was posted online, and Maryland’s Jared Nickens and Jaylen Brantley saw that video. They liked it so much, they did their own version. Thus, they became the new internet dance craze. People of all ages, including students, celebrities, and plenty of sports team from the NBA, NFL, and MLB have done it. The Mannequin Challenge was most likely started by Twitter user @pvrity_, a high school student from Jacksonville, FL., on October 26. In the original video, he and several students froze in various positions as the camera panned around them while the song, “Black
Beetles” plays in the background. Since then, this video went viral and had over 5,000 Twitter reposts. Everyone’s been doing it. Ontario Baseball Team did it, the L.H.S. Madrigal did it, and even Hillary Clinton did it with her Democratic party and Bon Jovi! I guess now that I know where the trend comes from, my new question is: Why not grab some friends and give it a try? Remember: Don’t blink.

India’s Banned Currency By Amruthra Sridhar
Crowds line the streets in India, waiting for their Staff Writer worthless rupee bills to be exchanged into usable money. India has recently banned their 500 and 1,000 rupee notes in an effort to fight corruption in their economy. In a television speech on Tuesday, November 8, Prime minister Narendra Modi announced the ban and stated he believes it will “strengthen the hands of the common man in the fight against corruption, black money and fake currency”. Black Money causes the economy to go down because it is obtained illegally. India suspects that they have lost around 100 billion rupees of potential tax money because people have stored it offshore. This means that the Indian government lost money because many people have hidden their money overseas. The ban is designed to make people spend the smaller bills in order to circulate money. People that had held onto 1000 and 500 rupee bills for the sake of their value will now only have smaller bills that they are more likely to spend. This would greatly impact the economy, and
help reduce inflation in India. Furthermore, if India made a point of buying more Indian products than American products, the value of the rupee could strengthen. Although Modi believes this is a positive move, India is in panic. Hospitals were allowed to collect the bills until November 11, but even so, many families have suffered from this sudden change. One such family is Umeshwar Rao’s family. Rao, a poor farmer, made a long journey to a hospital in New Delhi to get an operation for his daughter, only to be told that the $10,000 he had collected was invalid as it was saved in 1,000 rupee bills. Rao has no government I.D, and therefore cannot exchange the invalid bills. Despite this hardship, if the plan works correctly, Prime Minister Modi hopes to fix the economic state of India.
