When I first came here, I realized that there was a common belief that CLAD is a region where the most relevant or highlighted elements are: d e l i c i o u s ( a n d m a y b e extremely spicy) food, amazing dancers, and strong and ingrained religion traditions. This statement cannot be denied, and most of our classmates are vivid proof of these ideas. In reality, CLAD is more than this: it is a region enriched by more substantial elements and problems that make it unique and special. The aim of our show is to present the million paradoxes, in this paradisiacal place.

Imagine being in a white-sand and blue-water beach with an appealing dish of Jamaican grilled fish, or being on the summit of a mountain witnessing a mystical r i t u a l d e d i c a t e d t o t h e Pachamama (Mother Earth)…this is part of what we are, but there is more to be recognized: we have poverty, but very hardworking people that look for a better future every day;

we have corrupt leaders, but a v e r y s t r o n g s e n s e o f community that protes ts against injustice; we have fights and conflicts between nations, but also a brotherhood and collective cohesion; we have an inadequate distribution of wealth, but also individuals that fight for a more equal society; we have developing problems, but also developing passions and dreams. This is our substance, this is what we are.

O u r c u l t u r e , a s CLADer s, cons i s t s o f a dynamic, challenging and independent force based on the freedom of expression. Each one of us possesses the opportunity to participate in a didactic cultural life. Creativity, diversity and artistic quality are integral parts of our societies’ development. CLAD’s cultural show is not only going to be a common presentation. So far it has allowed participants as single individuals to come together as the bigger united region of CLAD (continued on page 3)

A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS

Dear Readers,

You come back from winter break and there are 5 entire months left until the end of the year. You hear teachers say that the this semester goes by at the blink of eye. But, you sit and wonder how if the class you sit in on is going by at a glacial pace, how the rest of the semester could possibly pass by quickly. Yet, a month and a half has already passed. CLAD is this weekend, another milestone of the year. This semester is going to pass by faster than you can probably believe. Thus, You might

want to think again about catching up on Modern Family by yourself in your room given the ephemeral presence of your wonderful peers. Embrace what you have before you because you might not have it for long.

Thank you for reading.

Until Next Time,Patrick on behalf of the Literati Editors

This week is your opportunity to become part of our region; we welcome you as official members of CLAD. Enjoy a dangerous and risky day being part of the Assassins-CLAD style as a way of creating awareness of the intense reality of cartels and violence in many countries of our region; be invited to a journey through Latin America in the movie “Motorcycle Diaries” or know more about the life of the Jamaican singer and composer in the movie “Bob Marley”; play soccer in the CLAD fashion and with its rules; experience love in the Tobago way; have a more individualized and close perspective of our region in a very interesting Global Issues on Friday night; try delicious dishes in our dinner; and have the chance to have a party in the Carnival style. This week is going to be intense. Get pumped!

Even in a community like ours, with many different people and countries represented, it can be hard to talk about matters like race, even if it does often heavily influence someone’s identity. The third tuff stuff of the school year focused on this issue of “Race and Identity.” This turned out to be a topic appealing to many. In the first activity, “step in the circle if you...”, many people showed how big of an issue it was for them. Nearly everyone had been treated differently because of colour, religion, or nationality at some point. Many considered their descent a big part of their identity.

In the group discussion afterward, it turned out that a big issue was the so called slightly racist jokes that go around. Nearly everyone admitted making these jokes but nearly everyone admitted

being the victim sometimes as well. Why do we do it? Multiple answers came up. It was explained as a form of unintelligent humour as opposed to intelligent humour where you see the irony in a situation. Other people said it was because we are so open here. Some people said these jokes were directed more against certain groups, others said that everyone gets their fair share. Point is, even if we usually mean them in a nice and teasing way, racist jokes can hurt people or they can just be plain annoying. Still, they can be very funny. So, how to deal with that? An answer was to just tell people if they crossed the line and ask if you aren’t sure if you did.

Another topic that came up was the affirmative action. In some countries, especially the US and South Africa, there are policies in place to diminish the contemporary effects of the racist policies adapted in the past. For example, in the US, people with native American roots will get into college easier. In some ways, affirmative action is very unfair and many people did not agree with it. Still, the point was made that, although not ideal, affirmative action is the best solution that will help people in the short term as well.

But how do you define which “race” you are? Many people here said to have difficulty

defining themselves. Isn’t trying to define people not the whole basis of racism? Also, if you have different roots, why does for example the SAT try to make you choose just one of them? Two hours proved to be not enough to let everyone say as much about all these things as they would have liked. A lot of questions were raised but finding answers was hard. Clearly, we should try to keep this spirit of talking about it up and keep the discussion going.

How many times have you eaten Ramen noodles? Just on certain occasions when the food in the cafeteria was not good, or regularly every week to get you through the painful IB demands? Ramen noodles are a central feature to our campus. Day rooms are filled with people eating Ramen, alumni come back after twenty years still remembering their late night feasts, and we also have an award in the yearbook for the Ramen King of the year. Stephen Dowdy (USA-PA ’14) and Adrian Jennings (South Africa ’14) proudly report their recent purchase of 54 packs of Ramen to “fill our empty nights” as Adrian puts it. These aspects clearly point to a serious trend on campus, but before opening the microwave to heat up your instant noodles, there are certain things you might want to consider.

When heating up your dinner, the list of ingredients on the side of the packet is often too scary to glance at. In order to create a desiccated, long-keeping noodle that cooks in a couple of minutes, it’s deep-fried in oil during a long manufacturing process. To make things worse, the instant soup mix has more fat in it, not to mention the high content of sodium, monosodium glutamate (MSG), preservatives and other mystery ingredients. Consequently, the

calorie intake is extremely high. Take a look at the nutritional information for Maruchan instant beef noodles for example, noting that they suggest a serving size of half a pack. When is the last time you ate just half a pack of instant ramen? A full pack, which is what most people have, is 380 calories.

Stephanie Bardin, working at a lab at general Massachusetts hospital, investigated the different effects on our intestines whilst eating processed food (ramen, Gatorade and gummi bears) or the homemade equivalent of these commercial goods. The digestion of the foods is drastically different because as Mrs Bardin puts it: “Ramen is made to survive Armageddon, while homemade noodles are meant to be eaten”. After nearly three hours of digestion, the ramen noodle is still mainly intact and visible to the camera that scientists placed in the ingestion of the subject, whilst the homemade noodles had already been broken down a long time ago. This experiments shows the detrimental effects our favourite Ramen Noodles have on our digestive

system, requiring much greater energy and work to eventually break them down.

In addi t ion to being fi l led wi th unnecessary calories and artificial chemicals, Ramen noodles are also an extremely heavy burden to our digestive system. This does not advocate for an entirely Ramen-free diet, however limiting instant noodle consumption to occasional meals is a strongly advised solution for the health of your body and digestive efficiency. A plate of wonderful Italian pasta is truly recommended as a great healthy replacement!

So who knew the pope could resign, huh? I mean, it’s not something one would expect after 600 years of resignation-less tyranny... I mean papacy. It seems fitting that Ex-Pope (damn that looks weird) Benedict VXI should step down for health reasons, as if he were CEO of a popular fruit named computer company and not the primary link to GOD.

To say that Big Ben will be the most conservative pope we’ve had since girls wore big skirts, loved Elvis, and drank milkshakes would technically be incorrect. The Roman Catholic Church does not have left, rights, moderates, etc. Officially they have the orthodox and heathen. However, if the Roman Catholic Church did have rightists and leftists and moderates, Benny would definitely be conservative right. He not only permitted but quietly encouraged traditionalists to say the old rite, reviving the use of Latin or receiving the communion wafer on the tongue. He issued a new translation of the Roman Missal that tried to make its language more precise.

He sees this not as rewinding the clock so much as reaffirming values that have been there since study hall replaced public stoning. It seems sort of counterproductive nonetheless. In an age where more and more people are seeing how difficult it is to live a strictly Catholic life and are turning away from religion, one would think a “modern faith” approach would be more effective

at attracting and retaining followers, especially youth.

I know I’ve put in various suggestions and have yet to hear back on my proposals for a Roman Catholic Church twitter account, official Facebook page, or youtube account. They’ve also refused to give any feedback on my Blood of Christ Soft Drink, Holy Water the App, and putting up masses on Khan Academy so that eager potential Catholics will be able to go through the religion on their own time and at their own pace.

Regardless, I’m sure the new pope will be way more considerate to my creative genius and give me some constructive criticism. I have a few potential nominees for the position you may want to consider: Tim Tebow, Bono, and The-Dude-Who-Said-Legitimate-Rape. Lady Gaga, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Lino Oviedo, one of the presidential candidates in Paraguay, died in a helicopter crash at the age of 69, last Sunday, 3 February 2013. But what is the significance of this? What effect does this have on the presidential elections in Paraguay now? Who was Lino to the Paraguayan people? What is his political history? I had the honour of speaking with our very own Emilio Rodríguez (Paraguay – ’13) to get a closer look at the meaning behind the news.

Lino originally headed the Paraguayan military as chief of the army (from 1993). Through this position, he helped to end the fearful 35-year-long dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner in Paraguay. Although, rumour has it that this was achieved through threatening Andrés Rodríguez, who was the Lieutenant General of the army at the time (before he became president), with a grenade if he did not launch a coup against Stroessner’s government. This was a controversial event as Lino ended years of oppressing rule in Paraguay through vicious tactics. In addition to this, in 1999, Lino was also accused by authorities of being the brains behind the assassination of then Paraguayan Vice President, Luis María Argaña. For this, Lino was sentenced to serve ten years in prison as well as to live in exile in Argentina and Brazil. Lino has thus had a tinted background with his criminal records as well as political threats.

After Lino was released from prison, he was nominated as the presidential candidate for

the political party known as the National Union of Ethical Citizens Party (UNACE). Lino was determined to gain presidency over Paraguay. He was skilled in persuading and gaining support through his rhetorical speeches conducted in Guaraní, a widely-spoken language in the country. Lino was a rich politician with a lot of money from “who knows where”, says Emilio, enabling him to build up his large campaign.

In the latest Presidential race set to have its elections in April 2013, Lino’s party was ranked 5 th in the pol ls and only had approximately 130000 followers out of the country’s population of about 6.5 million. Emilio shares that Lino’s contribution in ending the oppressing dictatorship was merely seen as a strategy to gain the people’s political support and that he is furthermore viewed by the people as simply power-hungry and wanting more money. Our UWC-USA Paraguayan confirmed the party’s lack of popularity with the people, saying, “Not many people in Paraguay care too much about voting and honestly, Lino was never going to win anyway.”

Now that the Presidential race has lost a rather infamous candidate, the country’s two leading parties, the Colorado Party and the Liberal Party are fighting hard for the remaining votes that were previously reserved for Lino. It is said that Horacio Cartes of the Colorado Party has the highest chances of winning the elections. Though he too comes from a controversial background of having dealt with drug trafficking and only having been a politician for two years, Emilio ends the story on a positive note by saying that Horacio is a “good business entrepreneur and may have good ideas for the country.”

While shopping here in the lovely U.S. of A, you may have noticed the phenomenon the ever re-appearing penny or dollar bill turning up in your wallet. There ends up being wads of them, really. All because when setting a price it just doesn’t seem to occur to people that if you price something at $9.99, you’re going to need at least four pennies to do it right and if not, you’ll get one back anyway. Due to this sort of mindless throwing about of numbers, your wallet ends up far heavier than it has any right to be at the end of the day, with naught but pennies upon pennies to show for it.

The Canadians have found a lovely little way to solve this problem: just get rid of the pennies! Well, I suppose I should be calling them one-cent coins, but it applies either way. Of course, the minutes per day each business spends counting out pennies in change was only one of the three main reasons the Royal Canadian Mint produced the last penny on February 4th last

week. The second was that pennies were just taking up too much room. That’s right, there is simply no room left in Canada for all this faux copper… well, at least there isn’t any more room in places that aren’t nature preserves or that have actual people in them.

The third, and perhaps most important, is that a penny costs more to produce than it’s worth. One cent. A penny is worth once cent but it costs more than that to produce. In America it costs two cents to produce a penny and in Canada, it’s estimated that not making pennies could save up to eleven million dollars a year. Granted, that may not seem like a whole lot, but let’s face it, eleven million dollars is eleven million dollars. The Canadians don’t seem to be all that troubled by it either. Geoffrey Nicholson (Canada ’14) says “Halleluiah! We don’t need it. It costs more to produce it. It rounds up at three and down at two now though.” While Geoffrey’s sentiments are largely positive, there is some concern as to how consumers will go about navigating this new rounding business. After all, with what we’ve seen happen in regards to extreme couponing, one can only imagine the lengths some people may go to in order to pinch pennies.

Only one question remains…is America next?

The month of February is Black History Month in the USA and Canada. This month commemorates important people and events in the history of Africans across the world, particularly African Americans.

Black History Month has its origins in the work of African American historian Carter G. Woodson, who in 1926 proclaimed the second week of February to be “Negro History Week,” as this week so happened to coincide with the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is most renowned for his role in the abolition of slavery by way of the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. Frederick Douglass is an important figure in African American history in that, after his escape from slavery, he was a prominent anti-slavery activist and orator, holder of multiple public offices, and close companion of Abraham Lincoln. He believed in the equality of all peoples, also advocating for the rights of groups such as women.

Woodson created the holiday with the hope that it eventually be eliminated when black history became fundamental to American history. In 1976, after support for Negro History Week had spread across the US, the federal government acknowledged the expansion of Black History Week to Black History Month by the leaders of the Black United Students at Kent State University in February of 1969. The first celebration of Black History Month occurred at Kent State in February of 1970. Six years later during the bicentennial of the United States of America, the US government recognised the expansion of Negro History Week to Black History Month. Nowadays, Black History Month is celebrated across the US and Canada, and even in the UK in October with appropriate meanings for each country.

However, Black History Month also has its opponents. It sparks an annual debate about the continued usefulness and fairness of a designated month dedicated to the history of one race. Many people hold concerns about black history being delegated to a single month and the "hero worship" of some of the historical figures often recognised. Morgan Freeman, a critic of Black History Month, said: "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history." This belief is in line with Woodson’s initial intentions for “Negro History Week” to be eliminated.

On the UWC-USA campus, Black History Month will be celebrated with a screening of the film ‘Malcolm X’ this Sunday, 17th February in the Student Centre. Onyema Justice Nwigwe stated that, “We are Africans living in America, making us African-Americans. Slave trade separated us. It is important that we take this month and remember our roots, our African roots.” Karlo Škarica (Bosnia ’13) believes that, “Black history month is every month, bro.”

Whatever our beliefs, Black History is now a major part of US history. As international students living in the US, each with our own particular histories, we should take the time to think about what this month means to this country and its people.

When someone says speech and debate tournament, do you think of a group of nerds who come together to yell at each other? Does Lincoln-Douglas only signify the names of a US President and another guy who wasn’t a US President? Well, then you have come to the right place. Today’s The Insider’s Guide to Debate will educate you on this beautiful art.

Let’s start with forms of speech and debate which are... speech and debate! Speech is giving speeches or acting. Debate is debating on a topic. So far so good. Each of these can be divided further.

Speech encompasses over a dozen events, including Impromptu, which is one of the most insane and awesome events. In Impromptu, nothing is prepared in advance, and you are handed a piece of paper with a phrase, saying, word, or even a person when you walk in the door. From that period, you have roughly two minutes to plan a speech and five to deliver it. Imagine getting a paper with the phrase, “If cats and dogs ruled the world...” How would you give a speech on that? Another speech event is Original Oratory, where an approximately 10-minute speech must be prepared in advance. Your speech can deal with any issue in the world or your life that can be examined with great depth. In this event, you must give your speech multiple times and rehearse every aspect of it down to hand movements and even pitch of voice.

The list of speech events goes on and on, but debate events are limited to two. First is Public Forum, (PF) which is a partner debate event. Every month, a new resolution related to current events is released. After tons of research, you must be able to debate both sides of the resolution with your partner against a team of two other debaters. Last month’s resolution, for example, was “Resolved: On balance, the rise of China is beneficial to the interests of the United States.” On a side note, it was pretty intense having Chinese students debate this resolution. The other event is Lincoln-Douglas Debate, which is completely solo. Essentially, it’s a 1 vs 1 philosophical battle on a resolution where you have to bring up different “values” to support your argument and also be able to argue both sides. This month’s resolution is “Resolved: Rehabilitation ought to be valued above retribution in the United States criminal justice system.”

For some, master-debating is a passion. Schools from all over the state of New Mexico come to the state tournaments and the NFL (National Forensics League.. NOT National Football League) national tournament draws thousands of debaters from every state in the country. Debate improves everything from public speaking skills to English fluency and can really make a difference in how you think. Not to mention, you get to meet a ton of cool kids and even get hit on by girls who think your accent is cute: just ask Alex Davies (UK/England/Great Britain ’13) and Adrian Moore (Italy.UK/England/Great Britain/France ’14). For all of these above reasons, the resolution, “Resolved: UWC students should join the debate team,” must conclusively be affirmative.

Two years ago a Swedish man was finishing the dream that many countries had, but inside his kitchen. After some months of working (and getting some stuff) he managed to build a nuclear reactor inside his kitchen. He checked if there was any radiation escaping and it seemed that there wasn't (actually it wasn't working). But then he wondered whether or not it was legal because someone building one of those things is not as common as seeing people building furniture. Turns out, yes, it was illegal and his great idea cost him a couple of days in jail, but fortunately he was released shortly after answering all the questions and proving that he only built the reactor to pass the time.

The radioactive materials and specialized equipment was ordered specially... USA. Richard Handl is his name . He didn't know if it was wrong or not so he actually published its building

in a blog (http://richardsreactor.blogspot.com/) and bragged about it with his friends and neighbors.

He asked the authorities to come and see if everything was in order, and of course they agreed even though they didn't tell him they were going to arrest him too. After coming inside the house he explained to them he had a Geiger detector and it was making 0, however they realized the materials he had were not legal at all. He bought some of them and some other materials were from fire alarms. So he was arrested and brought to jail for a short while.

He was a nuclear physicist who had lost his job, and he started the project just because he was bored. After some thoughts he started getting out the Americium inside the fire detectors, plus he got other materials (maybe Amazon, maybe E-bay). Let's just hope he got back his job after getting out of jail.

Right now he is facing some crime trials for suspect of terrorism, crime against radiation security law however he was found innocent with the crime of possession of hazardous chemicals (He published this on february 2nd).

After a while it was known he bought it from USA (by the way you can get Uranium ore on Amazon). This kind of people make us realize that what stop us from development is not even the budget (yes Shayan it doesn't matter) and it is more about how clever you are about it. Next time I'll talk about the guys who are building a spaceship with heating pipes and of course legal permission.

Once again a warm welcome, greetings and 你好. It is common knowledge that China

will rule the world one day so celebrating their New Year is what this week's theFLIPSIDE is all about, but I'm not the only one preparing for the Communist takeover. Naturally there is still some form of patriotic American resistance left. For instance Matthew and his creative kitchen crew who, by serving "Chinese New Year themed" food last Sunday, made three - out of the fifteen* - Chinese commit suicide. Oh, while we're at it...have you ever wondered why we have so "many" Chinese here this year? The simple truth is that the school shipped them here solely to bump up its IB-grade average and definitely not because with one billion people - accounting for over 18% of the world's total population - they were previously underrepresented, have the money, or because it goes along with UWC's original mission to act as a champion of peace... but you know what... I'm tired of this... Let's just stop here. Before I continue praising China to fulfill my quota, there are some issues that have to be addressed first. Thanks to the increasing number of thefts on campus, TSA checkpoints have been installed at all building entrances, cameras were - for your safety - installed in all bathrooms, and security is now obliged to shoot anyone breaking curfew. Joking aside, don't steal. You'll be put into a New Mexican prison or even worse, be deported - wait a second, it's the other way around. Anyway, UWC aims to bring promising and bright students together from all over the world. If Kurt Hahn would have known that the results includes people leaving a fire in the middle of a dry forest he probably would have made the selection process a bit more difficult. Did you know that China has the biggest army in the world? Anyway, CLAD is coming up

this week. A cultural show that was already in its early stages last semester got our attention by, when voting on guests, allegedly rigged elections. This is ironic considering Latin American history. After all, they managed to have an astonishing Walk-In this Sunday at dinner, when Tanya (Barbados '13) and Johannes (Guatemala '13) performed live what to bystanders seemed like a scene from Mexican Telenovela. So while everybody is getting kind of stressed out by all the rehearsals, as we are closer to approaching the show date, CLAD will turn out just fine in the end - my suggestion of just cutting the whole show to keep everybody's heart rate down was bluntly ignored.

China has a rich and over 3000 year old culture. Also Assassins is happening on campus. In my opinion there is no better way to get fit for a peaceful and sustainable future than shooting people with water... in the middle of a desert...

Wrapping up, Corey affronted the whole female community by finding love off campus, Krenar (Kosovo '13) finally completed his EE, and please, please, please, do not ask for likes on Facebook for whatever project by whoever - we don't care. Finally are you wondering why I suddenly speak Mandarin? Well, I went undercover to work in a Chinese factory. So there might not be theFLIPSIDE next week, since I'll be busy assembling iPhones. In good spirits I therefore say bye and on a final note:

让我们在天安门广场抗议。 彭, 彭, 彭。 “啊！
