James Logan High School’s annual Winter Canned Food continues through tomorrow. A container has been set up in the front office for anyone from the community to donate canned/non-perishable food, new toys and money, and students are being encouraged to bring donations to their second-period classes.

The three classes that bring in the highest number of donations will be treated to a continental breakfast, Activities Director Francis Rojas reports.

The James Logan Colts’ wrestling team won the Bay Area Invitational held at Castro Valley High School over the weekend. The Colts had seven wrestlers place in the top six in a very competitive field. They were also without one of their best wrestlers, heavyweight Kalifatoni Pole, who is on an official visit to the University of Utah for football.

The Humanitarian Assistance Club is holding a used cell phone drive from December 1 to January 10 in Colt Court, room 444, and room 67A.

This drive is in honor of World AIDS Day, December 1, and the Hope Phones Campaign benefits those with AIDS in Africa. The phones collected, working or not, are sent to a recycling center called Hope Phones which then evaluates each phone’s worth and pays the club for the phones to be recycled. The money from the recycling center is used by FACE AIDS organizations to “purchase low cost phones for community health workers” in Rwanda, says the Logan club.

A nation-building game in which the action is confined to islands, "Tropico 3" installs the player as dictator of a fictional Caribbean country.

The game is not unlike this year's "Dawn of Discovery" for the Wii, though it is more involved and more informative.

Players can choose from several prefabricated leaders, such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara or Augusto Pinochet, or create their own from scratch.
