First let's define the terms: l . lnteLUgent design theorist: Some- one who believes that the empirical, scientific evidence shows that there is design to life and to the uruverse; therefore, there 1s t1 designer. They infer from the evidence that the design we see in We and m the universe came from a designer. 2. Neo-Darwuuan theonst: Someone who believes that the empuical, scien- tific evidence shows that there is no design to hfe and to the universe; therefore, there ts no designer. They infer from the evidence that the "apparent" design we see in life and in the universe came from natural selec- tion and random mutabon. 3. Soence: (a) The methodological defirution -science as an experimen- tal process that allows you to gain knowledge about the physical world. (b) The phtlosophkal definition - every solubon to every scienWic prob- lem must conform to philosophic natu- ralism (a theory denying that an event or object has a supernatural signifi- cance; specifically, the doctrine that natural laws are adequate to account for all phenomena). Now, let's look at the argument: The argument hinges on the two definitions of science. Intelligent design and neo- Darwinian theonsts both agree on the methodolog1cal definition: an experi- mentdl process that allows us to gain knowledge about the physical wodd. The rub comes from the philosophi- cal dehrutJon. Tius definition is philoso- phy, not science. It involves looking at the facts and then making an inference from these facts based on a predeter- mined phtlosophy such as naturalism. For example: The facts show that, at the biochemical level, the cell is incred- ibly mtncate. The mtelligent design theorists make the inference that this spectacular com- plexity comes from a designer, whereas the neo-Darwinian theorists make the inference that this spectacular complex- ity does not come from a designer. The rub comes because neo-Darwinian the· orists iruist that the only inference allowable is thel.J"S (i.e. the facts can only infer a conclusion that fits with naturalism). Even when the facts logi- cally support a designer, neo-Darwinian theorists insist that such a logical con- clusion is not allowable because it does not fit within their philosophical defini· tion of soence (i.e. all conclusions must be within the philosophy of naturalism). The argument is simply that the intelligent design theorists (Gallup polls show that more than 80% of the population believe in a designer) want • the textbooks to teach our children the facts and either let them make their own inferences or delineate both posi- tions in the text (Gallup polls show that 69% of population favor this option). As it is now, the textbook teaches the facts and very emphatically states that there is only one inference or interpretation that can be drawn from the facts. Por example, a committee of ne<r Darwinian theorists defines science as •the human activity of seeking natural ~xplanations for what we observe in the world around us,• whereas intelli- gent design theorists ask us to consider defining science as "the human activity of seeking logical explanations for what we observe in the wodd around u. • In short, the intelligent design the· onsts want only for the public school textbooks to teach tolerance of the oth· er logJcal inference ba9ed on th facts. 'The intelligent design theorists, like their nelghbOn the neo·Oarwinlan the.- on.ts, realize that ii tho neo-Oarwinian theory ii true. th n the phU0t0pby ol natwalism that we inStlt ii the only tnference to be taught to our c:hlld.ren man. for IOfDe very tomber c:oadu-mam: We have an come from nothing, a.re going to :nothing, and are random, cb8nol Kddentl in a meatUnglmt. pur- PGMWll unmrne. 1n the lild. we DNlt • bath be wtnma to ICCllP tis tratb ar ltl .......... tr.

The idea for the project -composed of an essay, oral presentation and portfolio -was originally created by an educational company, FarWest EDGE. Corona del Mar, Estancia and Costa Mesa high schools quickly adopted the new requirement into their senior English classes, joining hundreds of schools across the nation that have followed suit accord- ing to district orders. Kellie Brownell and the district what the students feel is necessary in creatmg a meaningful project. Although perhaps contrary to our stereotype, the members of the club are not against the extra work that will natu- rally accompany the senior project. In fact, the majority of us look forward to the opportunity to research an area of mterest ma college thesis format. Newport Harbor High School, however, sat on the project and is now scrambling to find a way to integrate this requirement for the graduating class of 2003. Earlier this year, the social studies department proposed a solution -the Graduation Development Program - intended to make the senior project the culmination of four years of personal exploration and development. • A committee of juniors was organized by the program designerswith the philos- ophy that the best way to do the senior project right for our student body was to have students contribute to its develop- ment. Unfortunately, the program was vot- ed down by the rest of the faculty, leavmg the senior project to wallow some more in the administration's office before bemg tossed to the English teachers. We feel strongly that our expenences as students at Newport Harbor High could greatly contribute lo making the senior project beneficial for all levels of the acad- emic spectrwn. Although decisions of this sort are typically solidified without the ,input of students, we hope that acconuno- dabons will be made to a highly con· cemed group of juniors who are ta.king action before the adnunistration even has answers to our questions. We are going to have our share of grad· uabon requirements m the upcorrung year, and now is the opporturuty to transform one of them into a mearungf ul expenence that will influence students' lives even after they leave high school. From freshman year, students would be assorted into classes of 25 students each and would be under the guidance of one of the school's many teach~. The program was designed not only to alleviate the burden of the senior project from one department. but also to give the project a deeper meaning and relevance to the students' lives. However, many of the students who were on the onginal Graduation Develop- ment Program committee are not wilbng to give up thetr voice tn the development of the senior project.

There is so much hypocnsy. misinfonnation. fear, ignorance and prejudice against skateboard· ing, youth and an~g that is considered outside of the norm. The fact is skateboarding has been part of the norm for 20- plus years now. There are just a lot of people who are not paying attention to what is going on in the world around them, and it is pretty scary that these people may be the same ones running our cities. Someone please step up and prove me wrong. I guess I Should start by saying shame on Costa Mesa for telling their kids they were going to build them a skate park, spend money on architects to design it and then vote it out when a new City Council started without even directing the reaeation depart- ment to continue the search for a better site.

Jim Gray . COMMUNITY COMMENTARY choosingtoatternpttoexbngwsh it and pretend that it will go away. When they constantly tell lads they are criminals for having fun and that they are not allowedtto do whanhey love, yet they offer no solutions, then how could we expect the kids not to be defiant? It was especially interesting to me because Ridgeway's son was on a soccer team with my son last year. I was the assistant coach. It is pretty ironic that the team was named after a skateboard brand. and nearly every single kid on the team proudly road a skateboard. except maybe bis son. I never had one kid on that team ask me for an extra day of piactice, or if we could get together and kick the ball around on a Sunday. but I did have many kids on that team come to my factory to see how skateboards were made. Several times, my son and I went skateboarding together with the other coac.b and lus son and other kids on the team. One kid on the team even had a buth- day party at Palace Park skate park in Irvine. The real pomt I am trying to make is that politi- d.am need to face the Teality of what kids are really doing and not pretend that it will disappear if they look the other way, or that they can lgnore it just because their child does not participate. Most kids, including mine, play soccer, baseball, basketball and other team sports at practice and during their games, but very rarely in between. r don't know too many kids \\tho play bueball every day after baseball season ls over. What numy of them do every day is ride therr skate- board. That is a fact. 1t is not a 5euooa1 or team sport. It is just an addicttve, enjoyable activity.

Jorgenson, a sophomore right-hander, provided the virtual antithesis to Bolsa's ineffective pitching. His three- h.it shutout was broken up In the sixth, when the visitors strung together a double and a pair of singles to avert being blanked. Jorgenson, who struck out four and walked only one, gave way to senior infielder Kevin DeSandro, who worked a perfect seventh in bis 'first mound appearance of the season. The victory evened the Mustangs' record at.7-7 and sent them mto today's 11 a.m. consolation semifinal against Newport Harbor at the Sailors' diamond.

Breaking to second on a pickoff play, Thayer went to one knee and somehow swatted down an errant one-hop throw from the mound. Thayer then recorded the third out by swallowing up a ground ball to second and the Sea Kings dodged the first of several bullets. The two-base error led to the only run (unearned) Mission posted off Bradbury, who surrendered just three hits in five relief innings. RBI double by Rhodes. Thaye r's groundout plated the second run of the inning and freshman right fielder Wess Presson lashed his third hit to score Rhodes and make it 6-5.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Though Eagle was mobbed by his teammates afterward, there were plenty of heroes for the hosts, not the least of which was the diminutive Thayer, who pitched in with his glove and his bat. After the Sea Kings (6-7) had taken their first lead, 7-6, in the fifth, a. dropped fly ball put the potential go-ahead run at second base with one out for Mission Viejo in the sixth. While Bradbury shut down the Diablos' offense, CdM kept chipping away, adding incre- mentally to a 14-hit attack divided among seven players. Presson went 3 for 3 with a walk and a hit by pitch, while Long was 3 for 3 with a sacrifice. Nike Karpe, MackJin (two RBis) and Rhodes (three RBis) added two h.its apiece for the winners.

Thayer, part of a bottom third of the order that produced four h.its, five RBis and also scored three times, made game-saving defensive plays in the first and sixth innings. Mission's Taylor Holiday grounded a past the pitcher that appeared headed toward center field, when Thayer dived to his right to backhand the ball behind the bag. Already having saved the run at that point, Thayer sprang to bis knees and threw to flrst in time to nail Holiday for ihe second out. A Todd Macklin single and a fielder's choice grounder by Ryan Rhodes plated the first two CdM runs, drawing the hosts \o within 3-2 after two innings. #That was a very nice ballgame," Emme said. -That was as well as we've played all year." =tWbor~· .ltaA 1IMI Coflege men -v~ It Polfit Loma NazJnne, 2 p.m. TODAY M EGGEN FLEENER 6) Socal College women's soccer "Jeritt can flat-out glove it," said CdM Coach John Emme, who has long heralded the defensive ability of his nimble second baseman.

Do ily Pilot There are two sides to two theories Andrew Lawson LITTER TO THE EDITOR N ow thdt we hdve all read the ad horrunem arguments (e.g. # marked by an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to Lhe contentions made) and straw man ~~guments (e.g. an imagi- nary opposition set up only to be easily confuted), let's locus on the argument (Readers Respond, March 5). First let's define the terms: 1. lnteUigent design theorist: Some- one who believes thdt the empirical, scientific eVldence shows that there is design to liJe and to the universe; therefore, then• 1s d designer. They infer from the evidence that the design we see m llie dnd m the uruverse came from a designer 2. Neo-DarwU1lan theonst: Someone who believes that the emp111cal, saen- filic eVldence shows that there 1s no design to We dnd to the uruverse; therefore. there 1s no designer. They mfer from the eVldence that the "apparent" design we see in life and in the universe came from natural selec- tion and random mutabon 3. Sc1ence: (d) The methodological definition -soence d!. dn expenmen- tal process thdt allows you to gam knowledge about the physical world. (b) The phLlosoplucctl detirution - every solullon to every scientific prob- lem must conform lo philosophic natu- rahsm (a theory denying that an event or object has a supernatural signifi- cance; spec1hcally, the doctrine that natural laws dre adequate to account for all phenompna) Now, let's look dl the argument. The argwnent hlngec; on the two definitions of saence lntell.tgent design and neo- Darwiruan theonsts both agree on the methodological dehmbon an e xpen- mental proceso; that dllows us to gam knowledge dbout the physical world. The rub comes from the philosophi- cal defuullon. nus d ehnibon is philoso- phy, not science It mvolves looking at the facts and then making an inference from these facts based on a predeter- rruned philosophy such as naturalism. For example: The facts show that. at the b1ochenucal level, the cell is incred- ibly mtricate. The intelhgent\iesign theorists make the inference that this spectacular com- plexity comes from a designer, whereas the neo-Darwinian theorists make the inference that this spectacular complex- ity does not come from a designer. The rub comes because neo-Darwi.n.ian the· onsts msist that the orLly inference allowable IS theus (i.e. the facts can orLly infer a conclusion that fits with naturalism). Even when the facts logi- cally support a designer, neo-Darwinian theonsts U\S1St that such a logical con- clusion is not allowable because it does not fit wilhln their philosoptucal defini- tion of soence (1.e. all conclusions must be within the philosophy of naturalism). The argument is simply that the intelligent design theorists (Gallup polls show that more than 80% of the ,population believe in a designer) want the textbooks to teach our children the facts and either let them make their own inferences or delineate both posi- tions in the text (Gallup polls show that 69% of population favor this option). As lt is now, the textbook teaches the facts and very emphatlcally states that there is only one inference or interpretation that can be drawn from the facts. For example, a committee ot neo- Darwin.ian theorlslil defines science as •the human activity of seeking natural ~lanabons for what we observe in the woTld around us,• whereas intelli- gent design theorists ask us to consider definin~ sacnce as •the human activity of seeking logical explanations for what we observe ln the world around us " In sh ort, the intelligent design the- onsts want only for the public school textbooks to teach tolerant"9 of the olb· er logical lnl n ~ on lb facts. The lnteWgent design theorists, like tb~t.r neighborl th neo-Darwin1an the· oriJU, realize that if the neo.Darwinian theory II true, then the phllOIOphy of naturalilm that we iniilt ti the only inlerence to be taught to our c:hildteO tn.akM for 10tne very somber condu· sions: We have all come from nothing, a.re go&ng to nOthing, arid .,. random. ch&nce ACddenta ln a~. pur- • potek'lll untwne.

The idea for the project -composed of an essay, oral presentation and portfolio -was originally created by an educational company, FarWest EDGE. Corona del Mar, Estancia and Costa Mesa high sch ools qulckJy adopted the new requirement into their senior English classes, joining hundreds of schools across the nation that have followed suit accord- ing to district orders. Kellie Brownell and the distnct what the students feel lS necessary m creatmg a meaningful project. Although perhaps contrary to our stereotype, the members of the club are not against the extra work that will natu- rally accompany the seruor project. ln fact, the majonty of us look forward to the opportunity to research an area of interest in a college thesis format. Newport Harbor High School, however, sat on the project and is now scrambling to find a way to integrate this requirement for the graduating class of 2003. Earlier this year, the social studies department proposed a solution -the Graduation Development Program - intended to make the senior project the culmination of four years of personal exploration and development. • A committee of juniors was organized by the program designers with the philos- ophy that the best way to do the senior project right for our student body was to have students contribute to its develop- ment. Unfortunately, the program was vot- ed down by the rest of the faculty, leaving the senior project to wallow some more m the administration's office before being tossed to the English teachers. We feel strongly that our experiences as students at Newport Harbor High could greatly contribute to making the senior project beneficial for all levels of the acad· emic spectrum. Although decisions of tlus sort are typically solidified without the rnput o.f students, we hope that accommo· dations will be made to a highly con - cerned group of juniors who are takmg action before the admirustrabon even has answers to our questions. We are going to have our share of grad- uabon requirements in the upconung year. and now is the opporturuty to transform one of them mto a mearungf ul expenence that will influence students' l.tves even after they leave high school. From freshman year, students would be assorted into classes of 25 students each and would be under the guidance of one of the school's many teachers. The program was designed not orLly to alleviate the burden of the senior project from one department. but also to give the project a deeper meaning and relevance to the students' lives. However, many of the student!> who were on the origmal Graduation Develop- ment Program committee are not wtlh.ng to give up their voice in the development of the senior project.

There is so much bypocnsy, misinfonnation. fear, ignorance and prejudice agamst skateboard- ing, youth and anything that is considered outside o( the norm. The fact is skateboarding has been part of the norm for 20- plus years now. There are just a lot of people who are not paying attention to what IS going on in the world around them, and lt is pretty scary that these people may be the same ones running our cities. Someone please step up and prove me wrong. I guess 1 should start by saying shame on Costa Mesa for telling their kids they were going to build the.1n a skate park, spend money on architects to design it and then vote it out when a new City Council started without even directing the recreation depart- ment to continue the search for a better site. U they really had respect for their kids, officially continuing the search would be the least they could have done. I'll be the first to agree the site originally chosen was not the, best. but that was their own fault for trying to bide their skate park rather than embrace it. The 90lutlon of a mobile skate park did little to solve the problem and nothing to rebuild the kids' confidence and trust in their city. Next, I say shame on Newport Beach for choosing to enhance their reprimands rather than search for a solution. Do these approaches help our kids to build respect for our govenunent offi- ci.alJ, polioe or our politlcal process'l l don't think so.

COMMUNITY COMMENTARY choosing to attempt to extingwsh it and pretend that it will go awdy. When they constantly tell kids they are criminals for havrng fun and that they are not allowed to do what they love, yet they offer no solutions, then how could we expect the kids not to be debant? U was especially interesting to me because Ridgeway's.son was on a soccer team with my son last year. I was the assistant coach. It is pretty ironic that the team was named after a skateboard brand, and nearly every single kid on the team proudly road a skateboard, except maybe his son. 1 never had one kid on that team ask me for an extra day of practice, or if we could get together and kiclc the ball around on a Slllld.ay, but I did have many kids on that team come to my factory to see bow skateboards were made. Several times, my son and I went skateboarding together with the other coach and his son and other kids on the team. One kid on the team even bad a birth- day party at Palace Park skate park in Irvine. The real point l am trying to make is that politi- cians need to face the reality of what kids are really doing and not pretend that it will disappear If they look the other way, or that they can ignore it just because their child does not participate. Most kids, including mine, play soccer, baseball, basketball and other team sports a t practice and during their games, but very rarely in between. I don't know too many kids who play baseball every day after buebell season is aver. Whal many of them do ~day is ride their skat• board. 1bat ii a fart It is not a seuonaJ or team sport.

Irvine Valley, 370· ~ 388, at Oak Creek o Golf Club. .. " COM CONTINUED FROM 7 Kings' fourth straight victory with an RBI d o9ble to right· center field, plating sophomore Jeritt Thayer, who accepted the first of consecutive walks to open the inning. Though Eagle was mobbed by his teammates afterward, there were plenty of heroes for the hosts, not the least of which was the diminutive Thayer, who pitched in with his glove and his bat. Thayer, part of a bottom third of the order that produced four hits, five RBis and also scored three times, made game-saving defensive plays in the first and sixth inning.5. • Jeritt can flat-out glove it,• said CdM Coach John Emme, who has lo ng heralded the defensive ability of his nimble second baseman. Thayer's first big defensive play came wftb runners at second and tb.ifd with two outs m the first. Breaking to second on a pickoff play, Thayer went to one knee and somehow swatted down an errant one-hop throw from the mound. Thayer then recorded the third o ut by swallowing up a ground ball to second and the Sea Kings dodged the first of several bullets. After the Sea Kings (6· 7) had ta.ken their first lead, 7 -6, in the fifth, a. dropped fly ball put the potential go-ahead run at second base with one out for Mission Viejo in the sixth. Mission's Taylor Holiday grounded a past the pitcher that appeared headed toward center field, when Thayer dived to his right to backhand the ball behind the bag. Already having saved the run at that point, Thayer sprang to his knees and threw to first in time to nail Holiday for the second out. Kyle Mura followed with on RBI single to knot the score, but sophomore Josh Bradbury worked out of the jam and retired seven of the final eight be faced to pick up his first varsity victory. The two-base error led to the only run (unearned) Mission posted off Bradbury, who surrendered just three hits in five relief innings. ·Josh had struggled on the mound earlier this year, but he was awesome today,• Emme said. While Bradbury shut down the Diablos' offense, CdM kept chipping away, adding m cre· mentally to a 14-hlt attack divided among seven players. ·w e bad a lot of clutch hits,• Emme said. ·And we had a lot of two-out hits to drive in runs.• A Todd Macklin single and a fielder's choice grounder by Ryan Rhodes plated the first two CdM runs, drawing the hosts lo within 3-2 after two innings. After Mission Viejo scored three earned runs in the third lo match the three unearne d runs it posted in the second, junior shortstop Keith Long led off a fourth-inning CdM rally with a singfe. Long stole second and, after a Oyout and a walk, scored on an Freshman RBI double by Rhodes. Thayer's groundout plated the second run of the uming and freshman right fielder Wess Presson lashed his thud hit to score Rhodes and make 1t 6-5. Fredrick Svanberg paced the Pirates ( 18-2, l 0-1 in conference) with a 4-over-par 75, which was fourth among individuals at the four-school confe rence clash (only the outcome against IVC counts for each visiting school) With two outs in the CdM fifth. Long, Blake Contant, Macklin and Rhodes sprayed consecutive singles, the latter two for RBis, to put the hosts up, 7-6. TODAY'S KID .. WllMl Presson went 3 for 3 with a walk and a hit by pitch, while Long was 3 for 3 with a sacrifi<:e. Nike Karpe, Macklin (two RBis) and Rhodes (three RBis) added two hits apiece for the winneIS.
