It is the responsibility of each staffer AT DISTANCE to adhere to the journalism code of ethics as set by the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi. The code states that a journalist can not accept gifts, favors or privileges that could com- promise their integrity. All material published will be the result of brainstorm sessions by the staff. Subjects stimulating to the majority of the student body will be used. The editorial board, which is comprised of all newspaper staff members will deter- mine the priority of the stories and the overall design of publica- tion. The advisor serves to give students a better understanding of the functions and ethics of a free press. The advisor does not serve as a censure. Student editors will decide the material to be published. In accordance with community standards, profanity will not appear in the publication. Students are free to express an opinion on matters of public interests under the, “fair comment rule.” Under this rule, the student has the right to intelligently criticize the school and its policies. Editorials reflect the opinion of The Lightning Bolt. Opinion stories reflect the opinion of the writer and do not represent the opinion of the faculty and admin- istrWation of Chancellor High School. Controversial issues will be covered from both points of view. School news, as well as local, national and international events will also be covered. Letters to the editor are welcomed. All letters must be signed and e-emailed to [email protected]. The Lightning Bolt retains the In order to respect social distancing guidelines, students have as- right to edit letters to comply with journalistic standards.

  • Super Mario 64 Was Proclaimed by Many As "The Greatest Video Game
    The People Behind Mario: When Hiroshi Yamauchi, president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. (NCL), hired a young art student as an apprentice in 1980, he had no idea that he was changing video games forever. That young apprentice was none other than the highly revered Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Mario. Miyamoto provided the inspiration for each Mario game Nintendo produces, as he still does today, with the trite exception of the unrelated “Mario-based” games produced by other companies. Just between the years 1985 and 1991, Miyamoto produced eight Mario games that went on to collectively sell 70 million copies. By record industry standards, Miyamoto had gone 70 times platinum in a brief six years. When the Nintendo chairman Gunpei Yokoi was assigned to oversee Miyamoto when he was first hired, Yokoi complained that “he knows nothing about video games” (Game Over 106). It turned out that the young apprentice knew more about video games than Yokoi, or anyone else in the world, ever could. Miyamoto’s Nintendo group, “R&D4,” had the assignment to come up with “the most imaginative video games ever” (Game Over 49), and they did just that. No one disagrees when they hear that "Shigeru is to video gaming what John Lennon is to Music!" (www.nintendoland.com) As soon as Miyamoto and Mario entered the scene, America, Japan, and the rest of the world had become totally engrossed in “Mario Mania.” Before delving deeply into the character that made Nintendo a success, we must first take a look at Nintendo, and its leader, Hiroshi Yamauchi.

  • Waluigi, the Unsung Hero
    WALUIGI, THE UNSUNG HERO THOMAS RUD¨ Abstract. Since his inception, Waluigi has had a lukewarm reception from the public. Seen as a character with no personality, no voice, no video-game to shine by himself in, the eternal sidekick has become a running joke on the intrawebs. As if the originality used for Mario washed away after making so many copies. However, there is much more to it than it seems, we shall see here why Waluigi is objectively closer to his red-wearing ancestor than his other relatives. \AwaWAAAAAAAAAH." -Waluigi Acknowledgement I want to thank all the people around me every day that did not stop me when I decided to do this stupid essay. I want to thank my main sponsor, Coca Cola for providing me with the adequate quantity of sugar and coffeine to keep me awake during two days, after which I ended up writing this. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you are all important to me. 1. Preliminaries To understand how great Waluigi is, let us analyze what he is accused of by those mean internet people. This has a historical reason. Indeed after Mario got tired to fighting a horny Monkey, gave up Pauline and decided to fight turtles instead for the hot new babe on the block, aka Peach. For this purpose, in 1985, he teamed up with this brother, who was just a good guy all around, went adventuring with his fatter smaller brother, with no reward in sight, aside from \watching". Yes, he was weird from the get-go, but he remained a simple color swap for some time, so this weird man had very little importance.

By the nineteenth century, the prima donna became the focal point for socio-cultural polemics: women sought financial and social independence through a career on the operatic stage while society attempted to maintain through various means the socio-cultural stability now threatened by women’s mobility.
