		<title>Super Bowl Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Berger
Reporter

I must admit, I'm a little upset about this Super Bowl. I was rooting hard for the Ravens and 49ers, because, anything would've been better than another Giants-Patriots Super Bowl. It's not that I have anything against either of the teams, they're both very good franchises who have good teams. I don't think they are the two best teams this year, but that's besides the point. It's just that unless it's my favorite team, the Packers, I'm generally adverse to teams winning two or more Super Bowls in a short time period.]]></description>

		<title>The fault in your booklist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Jan. 10 acclaimed author, Nerdfighter deity, and Courant-tribute-recipient John Green published The Fault in our Stars. Since that fateful day, it has received universal praise from fellow writers and readers alike. Not to mention he signed every freakin’ copy, excluding a few like those at the high school library (my pre-order was signed in green sharpie. I smelled it immediately, like any totally normal person would.)]]></description>

		<title>An inside look at the work of NCHS custodians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Danielle Sorcher
Special Reports Director 

I walked down the stairs in the art hallway and knocked on the door of the Custodian’s supply room right after school, when the night-shift custodians would just be arriving. It’s tucked into a corner behind double doors and, peering in, I could make out bulky custodial equipment and a conference room. Upon being invited inside...]]></description>

		<title>Old People Swag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gogo Jones
Sports Editor

Sometimes old people are pretty dope. They can do lots of exclusive things that we can’t. Like if you started rocking a snapback that said “Vietnam Troop 77” or went  grocery shopping on a mobile scooter, it just wouldn’t work--you'd look like a d-bag. I mean I’d trade all the bling in the world to cop a life alert necklace, but it looks like I’ll just have to wait my turn.]]></description>

		<title>Superintendent search impacting students&#8217; education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tyler Kendall
Reporter

Since Superintendent of Schools David Abbey announced his retirement on Oct. 12, a Superintendent Search Committee has been set up to make a decision regarding his successor. This committee set out to hire a search firm to help conduct the hunt. The committee has urged the community to take an active role in the decision making, too. Several Focus groups and an online survey were made available to all public school faculty, residents and students.
