What da you think about the proposal to require Jefferson
High School students to wear uniforms and will it im pact how
others perceive the school?
It’s not going to contribute to our
learning. The population of students
is going to go down even more. I
think that we will be stereotyped. --

I like to wear basketball shorts and

I wouldn't wear the uniforms, and
I wouldn't go to school. It
wouldn’t feel like home to the
perception and me already is that
Jefferson sucks. I am graduating
and going to college and a lot of
people don’t think that we will. -

Assisted Suicide Law Upheld
(AP)— The U.S. Supreme Court
upheld O regon’s one-of-a-kind
physician-assisted suicide law
Tuesday, rejectinga Bush adminis­
tration attempt to punish doctors
who help terminally ill patientsdie.
Justices, on a 6-3 vote, said the
1997 Oregon law used to end the
lives of more than 200 seriously ill
people trumped federal authority
to regulate doctors. New Chief Jus­
tice John Roberts backed the Bush
administration, dissenting with the
majority for the first time.
The ruling was a reprimand to
form er Attorney General John
Ashcroft, who in 2001 said that
doctor-assisted suicide is not a "le­
gitimate medical purpose" and that
Oregon physicians would be pun­
ished for helping people die under
the law.
Oregon’s law covers only ex­
tremely sick people — those with
incurable diseases, whom at least
two doctors agree have six months
or less to live and are of sound
mind.
