The new semester is here, and with it a new Poway newscast. Dubbed Titan 411 by this semester’s group, the newscast will maintain a tradition of delivering relevant information to stu- dents, but will differ in style. New to this semester is the cast. While some of last semes- ter’s cast remains (including weathermen Jacob Nuenswan- der and Sam Neher), most of the cast is new anchor and newscast head Amanda Letteri, who was described by a peer as “relaxed and well organized,” is focused on both of her roles. She anchors the news along side ASB president Sam Ozen- baugh. “Me and Sam are working on bringing more character to the anchors and having consistency that students can see every week in the segments,” Letteri said. “We’re planning on making it very entertaining, but just as informative,” Ozenbaugh said. Highly anticipated is the “Check it Out!” feature of the Spe- cial Reports and Productions team. This segment is hosted by Chase Pado and Ben Levinson, who so far have featured mu- sic from artists such as Bon Iver and The Shins. “Right now we’re just recommending some lesser-known music, but later we plan on bringing in some local bands and exploring local music events,” Levinson said. While Vic Porter and Geoff Foster are no longer members of the weather crew, Jacob Nuenswander and Sam Ne- her remain, and this year they are joined by newcomers KC Fox and Liv Kings- ton. “I love being part of the weather, even though it is harder than people think. It’s a lot more difficult than I imagined to convey the temperatures in 30 seconds to a minute in a funny way. But all in all, it’s super fun and I’ve learned a lot,” Fox said. The pressure on this new group is no surprise, as preceding teams have set the bar high. 7 FEATURE MARCH 9, 2012 Iliad looking for more? www.powayiliad.com Tori Morin It’s 2012, which means that every man, woman and child now has a Facebook.

The new semester is here, and with it a new Poway newscast. Dubbed Titan 411 by this semester’s group, the newscast will maintain a tradition of delivering relevant information to stu-dents, but will differ in style.
New to this semester is the cast. While some of last semes-ter’s cast remains (including weathermen Jacob Nuenswan-der and Sam Neher), most of the cast is new anchor and newscast head Amanda Letteri, who was described by a peer as “relaxed and well organized,” is focused on both of her roles.
She anchors the news along side ASB president Sam Ozen-baugh. “Me and Sam are working on bringing more character to the anchors and having consistency that students can see every week in the segments,” Letteri said.
“We’re planning on making it very entertaining, but just as
informative,” Ozenbaugh said.Highly anticipated is the “Check it Out!” feature of the Spe-
cial Reports and Productions team. This segment is hosted by Chase Pado and Ben Levinson, who so far have featured mu-sic from artists such as Bon Iver and The Shins. “Right now we’re just recommending some lesser-known music, but later we plan on bringing in some local bands and exploring local music events,” Levinson said.
While Vic Porter and Geoff Foster are no longer members of the weather crew, Jacob Nuenswander and Sam Ne-her remain, and this year they are joined by newcomers KC Fox and Liv Kings-ton. “I love being part of the weather, even though it is harder than people think. It’s a lot more diffi cult than I
imagined to convey the temperatures in 30 seconds to a minute in a funny way. But all in all, it’s super fun and I’ve learned a lot,” Fox said.
The pressure on this new group is no surprise, as preceding teams have set the bar high.

Last week, Tuesday to be specifi c, I was walking my usual route to Human Bio when I bumped into an acquaintance of mine. We had been in the same math class freshman year but have since then lost most contact. She is a very nice girl, so when we fi gured out we were both going in the same general direction, we decided to walk together.
Soon into our walk I quickly regretted that decision because I realized we have ab-solutely nothing to talk about. In a frenzy I
go with the cliché but acceptable, “I’m sooo tired right now, it’s ridiculous” she responds as one would expect by stating her similar feelings. We walk a few more steps in si-lence, and now this is getting unbearable, so I bid my farewell and veer off in the direc-tion of my classroom thinking she would go her separate way.
She did not. I glance to my right casu-ally, and she is still walking the same way. We catch each other’s glance and then quickly look away in shame. I was mortifi ed.
