Fake RA on campus

By CHERAE HUNT Asst. News Editor University Village, CSUSB campus dormitories, had two attempted break-ins, on Nov. 4 and 6. The suspect was a tall, black male adult with short, curly hair and was last seen wearing dark colored shorts and a plaid red shortsleeve shirt, according to CSUSB campus police.

The adult male knocked at the front door of female residents and stated that he needed to gain entry into their rooms due to alleged apartment maintenance and repairs, according to a campus safety alert.

Campus police have also increased patrols and students say they’re definitely on alert according to ABC news.

“I work around the corner so I’m constantly walking around this neighborhood so I do definitely carry pepper spray and a stun gun with me.

I’m just extra cautions now,” said student Victoria Wyatt.

Officers also reminded students that all resident assistants are required to wear a metal name badge.

“I feel afraid walking by myself at night and definitely carry pepper spray,” said student Elizabeth Meza.

I also feel like I can’t even be polite and hold the lobby doors open anymore because I don’t know who I am letting in,” continued Meza.

All residents are asked to be cautious of any unknown or suspicious persons near or around their apartments.

Students are also advised not to open their apartment doors if they do not recognize the person, according to the safety alert.

Police advise students to walk in groups or call the campus police escort service at (909) 537-5165 to walk with them to their cars or campus housing.

Virginity waits for no one, pg. 5

More than 1,000 faculty and allies from all 23 CSU campuses will proceed to rally at the Chancellor’s Office during the Board of Trustees meeting, Nov. 17.

The California Faculty Association (CFA) movement to improve faculty earnings is titled the “Fight for Five. A five percent general salary increase for all faculty,” according to the Calfac website.

The rally stems from Cal State University managements refusal on the 5 percent increase, instead offering a 2 percent salary increase for faculty in their second year. Also, due to the stagnant faculty earnings over the years.

The CFA, Nov. 7 voted “Yes by over 94 percent” to authorize a strike, if contract negotiations fail to reach a fair deal, announced CFA President Jennifer Eagen.

This measure of concerted action is to be taken along with many others for public higher education employers and employees to reach an honorable agreement, according to California’s Higher Education Employment Relations Act. The Act states the association must first issue a public notice, then bargain salary/benefits, if sides do not reach an agreement, an impasse must be declared.

From there, a mediation is requested, if no deal is made the next step is fact-finding, the current and final stages of the associations proposal.

During this stage “a neutral third party is chosen to hear both sides.”

Together with a representative from each bargaining team, the natural third party writes a fact-finding report that recommends how a settlement could be achieved, according to the CFA. After 10 days of studying the report, a settlement may be reached.

If not, the CSU chancellor has the authority to declare his “last, best offer” as a contract. The faculty then, has the right to strike.

CFA and CSU management are currently within the final stages.

By EMILY ANNE ESPINOSA Staff Writer Gator terrorizes town (Nov. 8) An 800 pound alligator, nicknamed ‘Godzilla,’ terrorized people in Sugar Land, Texas.

The alligator emerged from a nearby creek and wandered into a plaza, where state-licensed “nuisance alligator trapper” Christy Kroboth received a call about the alligator. It measured up to 12.5 feet long. Kroboth states that Godzilla is her biggest catch up to date.

Godzilla was too heavy to transport by hand. “This is the first time a forklift had to be used to assist in the safe removal of the alligator,” said Kroboth.

Colorado High sexting ring (Nov. 9) Over a hundred students from Cañon City High School, Colo., are involved in a large sexting ring, where hundreds of naked photos are traded and shared.

According to CNN, the sexting scandal has brought upon felony investigation and the forfeiture of the high school’s last football game of the season. Students would use a photo vault app, disguised as a calculator, where naked photos of students could be posted and shared.

Shoplifter lured down roof with donuts (Nov. 11) A shoplifter in Arizona flees from police and hides on the roof of a Motel 6, demanding that he’ll only come down if he gets three jelly donuts and a bottle of milk, according to NBC 12 News.

The shoplifter had requested that the donuts be specially covered in powdered sugar. According to NBC 12 News, the police officers went to a local Dunkin Donuts and asked the manager, Jonathan Kendal, for special donuts to get the shoplifter off the roof.

According to NBC 12 News, after receiving and eating them, the suspect descended from the roof “without incident.”

Woman jailed for fake penis case (Nov. 12) An English woman, who had tricked her female friend into having sex by pretending to be a man, has been sentenced to jail for eight years.

Gayle Newman, 25, would disguise herself by dressing up as man, altering her voice, and convincing the other woman to wear a blindfold whenever they met up. Newman and the other woman had sex about 10 times until the victim finally ripped off her blindfold, and discovered that Newman was wearing a prosthetic penis, according to Irish Times.

Judge Roger Dutton, who had given Newman her sentence, labelled her as “an intelligent, obsessional, highly manipulative, deceitful, scheming and thoroughly determined young woman.”

3D printer available to CSUSB students

By MANUEL SANDOVAL Staff Writer CSUSB’s new innovation lab gives students access to 3D printing, scanning, mold making and hardware electronic kits.

The lab is open to all CSUSB students and offers virtual reality headsets, computer numerical controlled milling, hardware electronic kits.

“The seed was growing in my mind for the past year to develop such a lab. Not many universities are doing it and CSUSB is one of the first universities in the CSU system to debut this type of lab,” said Jonathan Smith, head of Library Information Technology.

“The Innovation Lab is a technology focused maker space, which provides emerging technology where students can use this equipment such as 3D printers and scanners, and innovate with them without having the fear of failure,” said Smith.

A 3D printer works by “printing” objects, but instead of using ink, it uses more substantive materials, such as plastics, metal, and rubber. It scans an object—or takes an existing scan of an object—and slices it into layers it can then convert into a physical object, according to teachthought.com.

“To break down what 3D printing is means you start with a file of a 3D model. Then the printer melts plastic and creates a replica of the 3D model,” said Smith.

“I’ve had a teacher stop by and print a cup and one student even printed jewelry. This lab is really just for creativity, if you see an object online that you would like to create, anyone can print here,” said student Ruben Castaneda.

The lab will hold workshops for students with various skill sets from entry level to advanced.

The lab will also experiment with peer-to-peer instruction, and provide hands-on instruction opportunities to students who plan to pursue teaching careers in technology fields.

“The lab will serve as an incubator of ideas and invention, pushing the boundaries of innovation and inspiring students to imagine and create without the fear of being judged,” said Cesar Caballero, Dean of the Pfau Library.

“I’m super excited about the opening of the innovation lab because it offers amazing technology tools and opportunities to compute science students like myself; which gives us a hand on opportunity to create,” said student Ashley Villar.

“What is great about the Innovation Lab is that it is accessible to all students,” said Smith.

Smith applied and was awarded a CSUSB Vital Technology Initiative Grant, which provided funding to purchase equipment and cover other related expenses.

“I heard CSUSB is one of the first universities in California to create this type of lab, so I’m proud to be able to call this campus my home,” said Villar.

The lab is located behind the research assistance desk on the first floor in the Pfau Library in PL-1003.

It is open from12-4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and from 12-5 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.

By RAEQUAN HARRIS Staff Writer A proposal to shutdown Internet tracking was annulled on Friday, Nov. 6.

According to Rueters, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) dismissed a petition that would have required Internet giants, such as Facebook and Google, to let consumers opt out of having their online activity tracked.

The FCC regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, according to FCC.gov According to The Inquirer News, Consumer Watchdog, a lobby group, filed a petition in June with the FCC asking that it enforce the honoring of tracking requests for sites that provide “content, applications, services, and devices accessed over or connected to broadband Internet access services.”

While on the Internet, everything an individual searches, types, and looks at is saved by third party users.

This process of collecting user data is considered big business by internet companies.

According to Reputation.com, “this data is essential for all businesses with a presence on the Web; it enables them to determine how, where, and when to attract your attention, thus leading to smarter, targeted, and increasingly personalized Internet marketing.”

“We believe the FCC has the authority to enforce Internet privacy protections far

more broadly than they have opted to do and are obviously disappointed by this decision,” said John M. Simpson, Consumer Watchdog’s Privacy director.

Google and Facebook were opposed to the petition.

The proposal’s intent was to stop Internet gurus from knowing what users search on the web.

Google has over 1.17 billion Internet browsers, while Facebook has 1.49 billion active users, according to statista.com.

Though the FCC enacted strong net neutrality rules earlier this year, which also provide consumer protections, it explained in a written decision that enforcing “Do Not Track” falls outside its jurisdiction, according to NBC. Student Darin Mensen asked, “How does a ‘Do Not Track’ setting fall outside of their jurisdiction while other regulations do? And if the FCC can’t regulate companies like Google and Facebook then who can?”

“It’s a bad case of a powerful company getting stronger,” continued Mensen.

According to thinkprogress.org, the FCC justified its dismissal of the “Do Not Track” petition on grounds that the request was “inconsistent” with the agency’s role in governing Internet access.

“As a faculty member my Internet cookies are screened by the campus cyber security, and I don’t see that as an issue,” said Professor John Sarli.

“I think with the FCC decision there is a deeper problem; and it hasn’t affected me.

We live in an age of technology. There isn’t a way around it,” continued Sarli.

CSU Chancellor meets with students and faculty

By CHERIE BROWER Staff Writer CSU Chancellor Dr. Timothy P. White visited CSUSB, Oct. 6, to address students and faculty.

The CSUSB visit was White’s seventh visit to a CSU campus this fall, and his third campus visit last week.

The purpose of the visit, he said, was “designed to give me a ‘deeper dive’ into the magic that makes up San Bernardino.”

As White’s speech unfolded, he thanked facilities keepers for keeping up the campus, and also gave a tip-of-the-hat to staff for their efforts in the function of CSUSB. During his visit to the campus, White stopped by the Student’s Club fair, as well as visited the new DREAMers Center, which he called “very inspiring.”

White also stopped by the cyber security lab and joked about flying a drone in the hallway of the department.

White addressed the matter on the ongoing wage negotiations between CSU and the faculty union. White firmly stated that he was not in a position to talk about the

matter, but that collective bargaining is ongoing in “good faith.” In relation to professors, in White’s own words, “I started as a grunt a long time ago.”

White discussed strategic planning for the CSU system. The strategic plan that White would like to see adopted would be considered an “umbrella” plan: one plan would cover all campuses, with smaller “umbrellas” for each individual campus.

White touched briefly on the topic of resource acquisition and distribution. “We must live within our means,” White said.

“We are making progress, but we are not there by any means.”

In terms of distributing resources in a balanced way, White said, “I’m committed, going forward, in making progress.”

Time was allotted in White’s speech for questions and answers.

A CSUSB student asked White how philanthropy will benefit the CSU system in the future.

“Philanthropy is only going to become a bigger success in the years ahead,” according to White.

During the Q&A, some students ac-

knowledged CSUSB President Dr. Tomás Morales.

“We will defend President Morales to the end!” exclaimed the student.

White also acknowledged Morales’ leadership, and spoke of change that new leaders bring about. Change, according to White, is beneficial. “A university in equilibrium is a university in trouble.”

Another student asked White about the possibility of increased enrollment for CSUSB. White said, “Can Tomás enroll as many students as he wants? No.” According to White, CSUSB is at 104 percent capacity of the student body that is funded by the state.

This means four percent of the CSUSB student body is over what funding allocates and is unfunded by the state. As White said, “Enrollment is an “imperfect art.”

The final question of the evening was posed by Dr. Chris Naticchia, a professor of philosophy at CSUSB, in regards to the faculty wage increase request.

Taking from White’s earlier mention of

“living within our means,” Naticchia asked White: “Do you mean to think that the faculty request is a request not to live within our means?”

“I can’t do anything about what happened before I got here,” said White. Despite the continued defunding of CSU by politicians, White acknowledged that compensation is one of his top priorities.

“It took multiple years to get into the hole, and it will take multiple years to get out of it.”

As the future unfolds for the CSU system, time will tell if progressive change will come under White. As he closed his speech, White ended with the emphasis, “I’m committed to it.”

“I’m committed, going forward, in making progress. ” Dr. Timothy P. White CSU Chancellor

CSUSB professor a part of prestigious think tank

By ALDON STILES Staff Writer Associate Professor of psychology at CSUSB Dr. Amanda Wilcox-Herzog was selected along with seven other California State University (CSU) faculty members to participate in the 2015-16 Simms/Mann Think Tank for early childhood education and development.

Each of the 13—five came from other universities—faculty members chosen to attend the Think Tank, held in Beverly Hills on Nov. 8, are considered Faculty Fellows of the Simms/Mann Institute for Education and Community Development.

The Simms/Mann Institute, according to their website, was founded in 2011 to help develop programs that tackle the challenges facing families in the fast-paced world of the twenty-first century.

According to Wilcox-Herzog, “the purpose of this Think Tank was to share the latest neuroscience evidence regarding the development of children from birth through 3 years old and their parents.”

Elizabeth Chapin, public affairs specialist at the CSU Office of the Chancellor, explained why over 60 percent of this year’s Faculty Fellowship were selected from CSU institutions.

“Due to our quality faculty, the CSU is the leading producer of teachers in California,” stated Chapin.

“The CSU is California’s and the nation’s largest producer of teachers, with a yearly average of 6,500 completing the program and earning a California Teaching Credential,” continued Cahpin Wilcox-Herzog gave a brief description of what the faculty fellows are responsible for.

“Over the next year, Fellows are tasked with bringing this information into their college classrooms as well as infusing neuroscience into a project designed to highlight important issues in working with young children and their families,” Wilcox -Herzog stated.

According to the Simms/Mann Institute,

Dr. Amanda Wilcox-Herzog, CSUSB associate professor of psychology, joins 12 other education professionals in the Simms/Mann Think Tank for early childhood developement. the Fellowship “provides enhanced learning opportunities and advanced study for busy professionals as a means of rekindling their passion.”

Wilcox-Herzog spoke on her passion as well as her more than 30 years of experience in the field.

“I have been involved in policy level initiatives at the state level,” Wilcox-Herzog stated.

“I founded and currently supervise the CSUSB Infant/Toddler Lab School and am well regarded as a college instructor who has taught many students interested in working with young children and families.”

Her experience, and subsequently her expertise, in this field is why she was chosen for the Fellowship, according to Wilcox-

Herzog.

Wilcox-Herzog stated, “I believe that the Institute was looking for faculty who are involved in the early childhood community and would be able to have widerange impact at the local and state levels.”

Wilcox-Herzog also shared what she hopes to take from her time as a fellow.

“I am looking forward to expanding on both the information I provide in my college courses as well as my research agenda,” Wilcox-Herzog stated.

“I focus on early childhood teacher beliefs, behaviors, and training, and am excited to try my hand at including biobehavioral measures in my research protocol,” continued Wilcox-Herzog.

Chapin expressed the importance of this Fellowship for CSU institutions.

“The CSU is proud to have so many of our faculty chosen for this prestigious recognition,” Chapin stated. “It is a testament to the CSU’s excellence in teacher education and will also increase the number of teacher education graduates with early childhood expertise.

Wilcox-Herzog expressed the impact her selection will have on the students at CSUSB who are interested in early childhood development and education.

“They will have the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in their classes and through my project, which will focus on training of prospective early childhood teachers, they will learn the skills needed to better interact with young children and promote their development,” Wilcox-Herzog stated.

Proposal pushes to lower drinking age

By MARCO MONTOYA Staff Writer The age for legal alcohol consumption in California might be lowered to 18 due to a new proposed ballot initiative.

For the bill to be a part of the November 2016 ballot, the proponent Terrance Lynn must acquire 365,880 signatures by April 26, 2016, according to KTLA 5.

Lynn argued that 18-year-olds have all the responsibilities and entitlements of adults so they should also be allowed to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages. He also estimates that it could bring millions of dollars in taxes every year, according to KSBW. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 made the legal age to consume alcohol, 21 and according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) that law has saved more than 25,000 lives, decreasing tragedies by about 16 percent.

MADD also stated, that when some states lowered the drinking age, under-aged drinking became an even bigger problem and caused fatal car accidents in the area to double.

According to ABC News, The California Attorney General’s Office said the state would lose nearly $200 million in federal highway funds if the ballot were to pass.

“I don’t necessarily agree with the age being lowered. Even though it would be pretty cool to buy drinks legally I feel like it would bring more harm than good. I think the drinking age is fine the way it is,” said student David Garcia.

Student Maria de Lourdes Campos said, “I think it should be legalized because at the rightful age of 18 you can register to vote, buy cigarettes, serve jury duty and are considered an adult therefore should have the right to decide whether or not you want to consume an alcoholic beverage.”

“If you’re 18 you should be able to know enough about yourself to be able to be responsible about the situation,” said Criminal Justice Department Secretary Matthew Aguilera “I feel like some 18-year-olds would abuse the privilege considering some are still in high school. Eighteen-year-olds in America just aren’t the same as in other countries,” said Criminal Justice Department Secretary Christina Ruiz According to KTLA 5, although some states make exceptions for lawful employment, religious reasons or parent consent, they all prohibit anyone under 21 to consume alcohol as of now under California law.

Comcast creates user data cap

By FRANCISCO VILLEGAS Staff Writer The cable provider Comcast, also known as Xfinity, plans to expand its data usage cap into California, affecting its customers who pass over the 300 gigabytes use.

The median usage of Xfinity customers use 40 gigabytes a month according to the Huffington Post.

As a result, customers may have to pay more for their service.

Most customers have filed complaints with the U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) because their Comcast bill keeps rising, according to articles in the Huffington Post.

“Comcast continues to ignore customer backlash, and continues to dramatically expand the company’s broadband usage caps and overage fees,” according to dslreports.com “High usage caps affects residents from California and other states dramatically because some people

use the Internet to work,” said student Juan Elizalde.

Comcast argues that the caps justify fairness to customers who use less data by having those who use more, pay more.

According to Comcast, the higher price will help the company with costs of streaming content.

“I believe Comcast’s claim that more broadband usage is costly was their attempt to justify their new pricing, which is in fact nothing but price gouging as the company leak has shown, and it should be investigated,” stated Professor Ece Algan.

Some customers are beginning to feel that Comcast’s price actions are not right but also feel helpless.

“I don’t think the FCC can do much to protect company fraud, such as overcharging people for a service such as the Internet,” continued Elizalde.

Comcast stated “The reasons for the caps, the documents say, are fairness and [the need to provide] a more flexible policy to our

customers,” according to the Huffington Post.

Recent data also prove that congestion on the “last-mile” such as Internet congestion of cable broadband networks is a myth, stated the Huffington Post.

However, if the real issue isn’t high traffic and congestion, this means imposing data caps is unfair to customers.

“In fact, in areas where customers now face new usage caps, they’re being told they can now pay $30 to $35 more for the exact same service they enjoyed yesterday. Fairness doesn’t much enter into it,” according to journalist Karl Bode.

“The FCC has yet to investigate this problem thoroughly despite repeated calls to do so from consumer rights groups (including Free Press) and customers. As more and more companies roll out data caps, the agency should take a deeper look at the ways access providers justify their use,” according to Bode.

“I do not know if FCC

can do much at this point because when FCC ruled this past February of 2015 to classify broadband internet as public utility, which was the necessary step to ensure net neutrality, they also announced their decision not to interfere with pricing,” stated Algan.

With the Internet becoming a necessity, it is crucial that Internet providers like Comcast understand how the price hikes effect their customers.

“We need to understand the negative impacts that caps have on the affordability and openness of high-speed networks,” stated journalist Timothy Karr.“The FCC should too.

That only seems fair.”

“Today, as more and more people are cancelling their cable service and accessing media through streaming over the internet, the profits of these cable companies get impacted.

Charging users for using more data toward streaming is how Comcast wants to handle the profit loss,” stated Algan.

CFA react to vote Continued from Pg. 1 “This fight is about the bread and butter issue of salary... the vision of what CSU is, who it serves, and what it can be in the future is at stake,” explained Eagan.

CSU college tuition is rising at twice the rate of inflation and astonishingly, some teachers make as little as $12,000 annually; meanwhile college presidents make an average salary of over $400,000, according to Brave New Films.

“Our political action/legislative program has two objectives. First to lobby our local state representatives to champion CSUSB as a vital part of our community,”according to Michal Kohout CFA Chapter Political Action/Legislative Committee Chair, San Bernardino.

Our second objective is to inform and mobilize CSUSB faculty to protect our university,” continued Kohout.

“Lack of funding, skyrocketing student fees, stagnant faculty salaries, erosion of tenure track jobs, management bloat, and persistent managerial encroachment into shared governance have created a toxic environment...,” continued Kohout.

“I am not liking the idea of not having a class I paid for but at the same time I am understanding where they [faculty] are coming from,” said CSUSB student Shelby Hayes.

Nov. 17, a morning march will take place from downtown Long Beach to the Chancellor’s office for a massive noon rally.

While the rally takes place outside, CFA leaders and members will address the CSU Board of Trustees while they meet inside, according to CALFAC.org.

Sexually active women are not sluts

By ERENDY TORRES Staff Writer If you have a vagina and are no longer a virgin, chances are you have been considered a slut at least once in your lifetime.

Actually, you don’t necessarily even have to be deflowered to be considered a slut. If you have a vagina, you still qualify.

“It seems the word slut can be applied to any activity that doesn’t include knitting, praying, or sitting perfectly still lest any sudden movements be deemed whorish,” stated Jessica Valenti in the article, “He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut: The Sexual Double Standard.”

Call me vulgar, or whatever, but women should not be viewed as slutty or whoreish if they decide to maintain an active sex life.

If most men believe that having sex with many women makes them badasses, why shouldn’t women be considered the

same in their sexual endeavors?

Sadly, we still live with double standards. To this day, many religions and cultures believe we all should wait to lose our virginity, but only women are persecuted for it. But why? Because women have vaginas and that’s the way it should be?

I remember the day my dad asked me, “Do you think women should wait until marriage to lose their virginity?”

I felt extremely awkward. The gears inside my brain began turning. Tick tock, tick tock. I felt like I thought about my answer for an eternity—Do l tell him how I really feel? Or do I tell him what he wants to hear?

Of course, I told him what he wanted to hear, “Of course dad, women should wait until marriage.” Lies.

I had to lie. I couldn’t tell my dad, “Don’t get mad, let me get mine.”

C’mon, we are all the same. We all have needs and urges.

Why should men be rewarded with our virginity? What makes them so special?

Society has constructed the idea that every time a woman has sex, she loses value as a person.

“Female virginity is valuable to society, but a man’s isn’t really worth anything; in fact, it’s better for a man’s social status if he is not a virgin,” stated Erin McKelle in the article, “5 Reasons Why We Need to Ditch The Concept of Virginity For Good.”

“And this ties into what is known as the sexual double standard: Women are shamed for having sex and men are rewarded for it,” continued McKelle.

“The girl I am with cannot have a past with like five to six dudes. There’s no way,” said a CSUSB student who only gave his last name—Macias.

When I asked him why not and what makes it different for men and women, he answered: “Well, it’s different. Nothing goes inside a male. You get me?”

The last question I asked him was: “Do you think it would be better in any way that your future girlfriend or wife is a virgin?” He simply smiled and said, “Of course.”

Macias wasn’t the only male that had this point of view. Eight out of 11 male students I interviewed shared that they would like to marry a virgin girl over a girl who has “history.”

Ironically, none of them were virgins themselves—or so they said.

As frequently heard in society, “a key that opens many locks is called a master key, but a lock that allows itself to be opened by many keys is a terrible lock.”

This absurd analogy accurately sums up the double standard that our society still has about sexual partners between genders.

I however, agree with the alternate analogy that “a pencil that allows itself to be sharpened by many sharpeners makes a useless pencil.”

Addiction should be taken seriously

By CARLOS SOLIS Staff Writer Addiction can range from the constant abuse of a substance to any activity that may harm your health or your mind.

I believe society doesn’t treat or properly care for any kind of addiction in the correct ways, and it is slowly killing our humanity.

“Addiction is a condition that results when a person ingests a substance or engages in an activity that can be pleasurable but the continued use/act of which becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary life responsibilities, such as work, relationships, or health,” according to psychologytoday.com.

Fourty-four people in the United States die from overdose of prescription pain killers every day, according to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

You never know who might be dealing with a drug problem. One of your fellow classmates could be one of the 44 people that dies every day.

I think as humans, we search for activities or substances to escape from the realities of our responsibilities and relationships, and we fall in so deep it affects our quality of life.

Recently, medical professionals and law enforcement members met together at the New Hampshire Medical Society (NHMS) annual conference to find solutions regarding the growing problem of addictions and substance abuse related deaths across the state.

“There is no one face of addiction.

This was very relevant this year with the numbers staggering across the country and in our state as a standout,” said Dr. Lucas Kolm, president of the New Hampshire Medical Society.

Doctors concluded that the state needs to optimize funding and train staffs to deal with the addiction crisis.

Society has placed a taboo on the word addiction. We only focus on substance addictions and define those kind of people as junkies, losers or weak — I think we like to avoid being labelled as addicts.

I don’t believe we should treat the word itself lightly, or the people dealing with addiction because it can lead to disease, mental disorders, and even death.

“Addictions are a complicated topic, because when you are addicted to someone or something, you don’t notice, and try to justify why you are addicted and don’t realize what you are doing is wrong,” said medical student Arturo Padilla of Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.

I believe we all have a certain kind of addiction, even if we are not aware of it.

We live in a time where people never let go of their cellphones. Our technology today keeps you close to those who are far, yet keeps you detached from those who are close.

Others may spend every day in front of a computer screen watching pornography, destroying their minds.

We fill our bodies with caffeine from coffee and energy drinks, to keep ourselves up on a daily basis.

However, Red Bull doesn’t always give you wings.

Some people are even addicted to getting their hearts broken, changing their relationships status more often than they change their underwear.

Everyone finds their own way to escape from reality.

People are drowning in alcohol, getting lung cancer from smoking, and overdosing on drugs all just to cope. We are suffering, but at what cost?

We all struggle with various difficulties. We find activities or substances to escape what we are going through, but I just don’t believe that harming ourselves is why we are here in this world.

Trying to quit your addiction is easier said than done.

You can be determined to stay away from addictions, but our bodies can be weak—it’s a hard fight to win with yourself.

Seeking help and staying busy with useful activities are critical first steps, but most importantly, always remember that you can win the fight.

If you are fighting a severe addiction, please do not hesitate to call Counseling and Psychological Services at (909) 537-5040 to talk to a counselor— you are not alone in this.

I believe we all have a certain kind of addiction, even if we are not aware of it.

Millennials face extreme challenges

By ALANA ROCHE’ Staff Writer “Sixty-eight percent of those questioned believe today’s generation are forced to endure more hardship than young people 40 years ago,” according to a study commissioned by health retailer Holland & Barrett.

Adult life for the Millennial generation is much harder than it used to be.

The Millennial generation, people born from 1980-2000, are going to outsize the Baby Boomer generation as the nation’s largest living generation, according to population projections released by the U.S. Census Bureau.

“Millennials (whom we define as between ages 18 to 34 in 2015) are projected to number 75.3 million, surpassing the projected 74.9 million Boomers,” according to Pew Research Center.

My mom always tells me she feels sorry that I have to grow up in the Millennial generation.

We are fortunate to have innovative technologies and social media, but we also face issues like debt because of increased

tuition costs. We also struggle with unavailable job opportunities and having to live at home longer than expected.

I always thought that as long as you obtained a college degree you are promised a well paying job—however this is no longer guaranteed.

Newsweek interviewed a 25-year-old woman who recently earned her master’s, but is working as a waitress while looking for a better job that suits her expertise. She currently lives with a friend.

“It’s hard,” she said.

“They don’t want to pay you extra for your master’s. There are enough people with master’s degrees that they can require them,” she added.

The cost of going to college has increased, according to a Newsweek article

by Leah McGrath Goodman.

“Millennials face higher university tuition and student loan debt than ever before, as well as stiffer competition when they enter the workforce,” stated Goodman.

Since the rise in tuition costs, students can be in unmanageable debt.

“Students who took out student loans

and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2014 had an average debt load of $28,950, up 2 percent from the year before and 56 percent more than their peers from 10 years earlier,” reported the Institute for College Access and Success.

Despite the Millennial generation having adult life much harder, I do think that there are some things that are easier for us.

The day my dad turned 18 he was expected to “be a man” and move out on his own.

Millennials stay home for longer periods of time because of how costly everything is, especially considering we began our transition into adult life in a recession.

“The largest generation in American history, landed in the cradle during an awful recession, according to The Atlantic.

“I would rather stay home and help my mom than be struggling paying everything on my own,” said CSUSB student Luis Perez.

The Huffington Post calls Millenials the “Boomerang generation,” which is defined “a young adult who returns to live with parents after a period of living away from home,” by dictionary.com.

A viral video on YouTube called “Millennials: We Suck and We’re Sorry” comically talks about the advancements and flaws of people in our generation.

Millennials featured in the video pride themselves for being the “most educated generation,” but apologize for problems like “living on our parents couch for too long.”

Even though it is harder to get a job at a graduate degree level it is now much easier to market yourself for job opportunities.

My uncle, 32, explained that before you had to drive and drop your resume off, but now it’s so much easier to send electronically. There are websites like Indeed and Facebook that can be used to market yourself for job opportunities.

Since Millennials are aware of the problems faced, we should strive to create better opportunities for the future generations.

I hope Millennial struggles do not discourage future generations from pursuing higher education or better livelihoods in general.

We should make it our responsibility to ensure that does not happen to them.

Preteens don’t need smartphones

By CHERAE HUNT Asst. News Editor My youngest sister is 12 years old and has a smartphone.

When she showed it to me, I was bewildered—she doesn’t need a smartphone—I didn’t even get a cell phone until I was in high school and it sure wasn’t a smartphone.

“Today about 80 percent of teens between 12 and 17 own a cell phone, and about half of those own a smartphone— that’s about twice the rate from just two years ago,” said Shawn DuBravac, chief economist and senior director of research at the Consumer Electronics Association.

I thought to myself: am I suffering from the green eyed monster, or does my sister truly need a smart phone at age 12?

I think when you are that young and impressionable, there is no need for a smart phone.

A basic phone where she can call someone if in trouble or needs to be picked up from the mall is enough, I think.

Smartphones have too many applica-

tions installed that can cause a lot of unnecessary issues that cannot be undone.

Let’s face it, with smartphones comes cameras and texting, and with peer pressure they can lead to sexting.

The thought of my baby sister sexting some dumb, little boy who doesn’t even know how to wash his own underwear gets my blood boiling.

He doesn’t even care about my sister’s well-being but is willing to say anything, including ‘I love you,’ just to see her naked.

“Participants of a study at Drexel University acknowledged sexting as young as 13, but the vast majority were 16 and 17 when they sexted. And very few reported negative consequences from their actions.

Only 8%, for instance, said they endured humiliation or a tarnished reputation,” stated in a Time magazine article.

Then I thought, if my mom and I constantly checked her phone, we could possibly prevent her from sexting. Wrong.

That’s why the cellphone demons (aka the cellphone manufacturers) created the delete button, so she can hide stuff from

me.

However, sexting isn’t the only issue.

Smartphones nowadays come installed with social network services, like Facebook and Instagram.

I don’t know what other people see on their Facebook feed, but my friends are disgusting and raunchy, constantly posting provocative stuff on their accounts.

Scrolling through my Facebook feed, I see posts from acquaintances like, “If I fu**ing make you c*m you got to promise not to stress me,” (insert stupid irrelevant emojis here).

Instagram is worse. You can’t scroll through three photos on your feed without some girl in a thong and bra posed with a caption about being “one” with yourself and how your “spirit should be free of all negativity.”

Yeah right, especially coming from a half naked woman with 20,000 followers and 3,000 likes on that one picture in less than an hour because of her physicality.

“Posing in a lace bra and a G-string on Instagram doesn’t give the perception that you’re a “lingerie model”... it makes you

look cheap... like the only value you offer is your body,” wrote Charles J. Orlando in “Attention Instagram “models”: You are selling yourselves.

“You’re suffering from a lack of selfesteem and are looking externally to make yourself feel good about you. But you’re kidding yourself. It’s called self-esteem because it emanates from the self,” added Orlando.

So what age is the right age to have a smart phone?

In my opinion, age 15.

I feel like at that age they can be mentally mature enough to handle a smartphone device.

A caring parent should instill a sense of self-esteem and self-worth in their child so that insecurities are lessened.

My sister is a smart, responsible young lady. Yet I, as a protective older sister, don’t want her to deal with unnecessary peer pressures.

I want her to enjoy being a kid while she can because once you grow up, it is a cyclone of needless drama and smartphones can potentially contribute to it.

Edgy & simple winter hairstyles for women

By WHITNEY ALVAREZ Staff Writer With the change of seasons comes refreshing and new trends, including hairstyles. When we think of new trends, we often think about a new wardrobe. But we

forget all of the fun and exciting things people can do with their hair.

Whether you have straight, curly or wavy hair, the hair color and styling options are limitless. It’s no secret we all love a great hairstyle, but we love an effortless hairstyle even more!

Some of the most popular trends at the moment include: ponytails, braids, bangs, natural waves, buns, slicked side parts, and even deep side parts. I personally, am a firm believer in “the darker the better” during fall season. There’s no such thing as “too dark.” This is the season to be bold

and experiment with different lips and hair colors. This is the only time of the year you can go dark brown or black and get away with it.

‘Tis the season to be bold. So go out and play with your hair. You might love what you come up with!

Braids

Ponytails Candy Dip Dye • Instead of just throwing your hair up, try for an edgier approach and go for a bouncy (curly) or the complete opposite and get in touch with your inner Beyonce and try a middle part with slicked sides for a sleek ponytail.

Catching the aesthetics of Tumblr...

• Consists of dyeing the tips of your hair a bright or pastel color. Basically, dyeing your hair to look like "My Little Pony."

• Usually involves bleaching the hair, but another alternative would be using already colored extensions or hair chalk.

• From three strands to fishtails, box braids and waterfalls, there are multiple of techniques to play with.

• The great thing about braids is that they compliment nearly any face shape.

Society’s visual of a “Tumblr girl” is pretty, feminine girls posting pictures of their trendy hairstyles, dressed in the most stylish hipster outfits, celebrity news, cliche quotes, and gifs on your favorite TV shows to spare.

For some reason, Tumblr girls always seem to look better, maybe even perfect, through their corny quotes, animal videos, sunset pictures and mainstream radio songs.

Although, many girls have received plenty of criticism over the term “Tumblr girl,” many do not seek to realize it is not always about girls showing themselves off or their outfits.

Rapper G-Eazy talks about the blog site in his hit song “Tumblr girl,” which had many users upset with lyrics, “I’m in love with these Tumblr girls/ With skinny waists and drug habits/ Pretty faces love status/ She acts as if she’s the baddest.”

While watching the video student Leslie Fellon said, “The song is obviously terrible and does not reflect how women really showcase their life on Tumblr.”

Tumblr has become a creative outlet for imaginative people, a blog obsession of showcasing their life and sharing life experiences with the Internet.

Confidence and style are two of the main factors that are seen and dressing in the trendiest outfits is the start of it.

Investing in a good camera, creating a unique style, and visual art of their own to gain plenty of

followers are a few things that help become “Tumblr famous.”

According to Digital Trends, “These girls are just more fashionable than the average, most girls do it for fun and not to become a professional model.”

Student Jocelyn Barajas said, “Every hipster girl has their own unique style, but some just enjoy attention.”

“Most girls are antisocial and turn to Tumblr as a home to [think freely] about themselves,” according to Urban Dictionary.

For many teens today, Tumblr has been a blog site where many share their lifestyle and express creativity, dressing or acting in a specific way but this is not necessarily a must for Tumblr users.

“Positive feedback is what makes users so addictive, and Tumblr is no exception, people want encouragement, and posting pictures is one of the easiest ways to get a cascade of digital applause,” according to Digital Trends.

“I don’t know why they make a big deal about these girls, they’re just like everybody else only they know how to really Photoshop a picture,” said student Marie Moreno.

Many students like Debbie Camacho and Kimberly Alvarez were unfamiliar with the term “Tumblr girl,” a term that has now been used to degrade women and continues to challenge the ideals of feminism.

These girls are continuously being degraded for showcasing what “seems” to be a perfect life to society but failing to realize Tumblr as a way to express their confidence and creativity to the world.

What goes around comes around and right now punk is making a comeback!

The early ‘70s punk movement was born in London and was known as an anarchic and aggressive movement. To punk teens this meant freedom, they wore what they wanted disregarding the social norms.

Forty-five years later we would have never guessed it would be making a comeback as big as it has. You can say that since birth, punk has had a great impact on fashion.

Student Nicholas Bishop explains that where he comes from, it was either getting into hardcore drugs like meth or going to outrageous music festivals.

For Bishop it was concerts, and that is when the punk scene kicked off.

From mainstream songs on the radio to the clothes teens buy, music is easily reflected on the apparel of our generation.

With celebs being our main source from social media to press media, we see it everywhere.

Bands like Twenty One Pilots, Minor Threat, and Pierce The Veil are inspirations for students and their fashion.

CSUSB punks are putting their own modern twist on the old school styles.

Accessories are a main outlet to reincarnate a punk look, so being crafty and putting together your own style is important.

DIY (do it yourself) is important with the punk crowd, because it’s always better to remake certain pieces you find in vintage stores than to support consumerism and buy ready-to-wear pieces.

Putting patches and studs on jeans and leather jackets is an example.

Ripping up jeans and tshirts like bands wore on the stage in the ‘70s I believe is more authentic than buying pieces from Forever 21.

“You can never have enough hats, shoes, gloves,

or bags! The more accessories, the better,” student Elizabeth Taylor expresses.

She continued by stating, “I usually wear a bandana in my pocket and this whole outfit is from the thrift store.

It’s a weekly thing, we do a lot of rummage sales.”

Rebellion, which can be seen as a way to express yourself, is a large part of the punk scene as student Aracely Garcia explains with her bright blue/green hair.

“My parents wouldn’t let me [dye my hair] so that’s what made me want to rebel a little,” said Garcia.

Self-piercing her tongue web as well as her belly button are just some parts that give her a bit of an edge.

Also, what would the punk scene be without sheer clothing and deep colors for the perfect grunge look?

Samantha Perez is all about sheer and grunge when asked. She loves to wear sheer tights with dresses and a jean jacket with her dark burgundy Dr. Martens, which are her favorite pieces.

“Fashion is what you buy, and style is how you put it together,” Perez stated.

Perez gets her inspiration from listening to bands like The Smiths.

Punk clothing is unique because it captures individualism, even if it means changing the look of your appearance to show the attitude of your outfits.

Maxwell Hallwachs makes sure he always has his lock and chain as his staple piece when dressing.

It’s important to revive these old school styles because people are passionate about the history of their clothing and the true knowledge of where it originated.

It has a lasting effect on culture because as Bishop states, “It’s a heritage.”

“Punk isn’t dead, it’s either drunk or asleep on the side of the road,” said Bishop.

No need to feel nostalgic, because this trend made a comeback that is sure to stay.

Ramones Baseball Tee $17.90 from Forever 21

Skinny Jeans are out but flare pants are in Who knew that skinny jeans would ever go out of style? Apparently, the new trend this season are flare pants cropped flares to be exact. The ‘70s are making a strong comeback with jeans fitted at the waist and thighs and flared out below the knee and cropped just right above the ankle.

The brand Marques’ Almeida specifically has set a domino effect in bringing back flared pants with its casual and wearable designs. Websites like Elle also provide different selections for flared pants enthusiast.

Rihanna launches new beauty and stylist agency The singer Rihanna is not only focused on music at the moment but also on launching her own beauty agency called Fr8me, she announced on Nov. 11 to The Hollywood Reporter magazine.

“The agency will include some of the best makeup artists, hair dressers and wardrobe stylists which will help those in the beauty and fashion field book work on commercials, editorial shoots, ad campaigns and for red carpet events,” according to Dailymail.com. While the agency focuses on obtaining the best staff possible, Rihanna also hopes to incorporate some new talent.

Covering up grown in roots? No more! it’s all about Glitter Roots this season The Internet (Instagram and Tumblr specifically), is being flooded with pictures of women with their hair roots covered in glitter.

The trend might have started in attempts at actually covering roots or it could just be an excuse to pour glitter all over their heads. “Sometimes it’s fine, concentrated lines of glitter. Other times, it’s a buttload of sparkles,” stated Buzzfeed.

“I Wish I Could Wear” Campaign encourages women to embrace their flaws The people over at Amazon Fashion Europe hope to change peoples perspective on what women of certain shapes, sizes and colors should and should not wear. The company showcased a plus sized activist, a model with albinism and three non-models on Twitter to display how incredible they are in clothes that society would not likely see them in based on their specific body types.

According to BuzzFeed Life, Amazon Fashion Content Director Siobhan Mallen said, “We created this campaign with the hope that it would help to empower women to wear what they like, and not feel limited by their perceived flaws.”

Target gets in trouble over holiday sweater Target brought out their new selection of holiday sweaters for the upcoming season and it wasn’t long until comments from angry customers began flooding in about one sweater in particular.

The sweater that has raised a lot of controversy, bears the phrase “Obsessive Christmas Disorder” which has customers believing the company is insensitive towards those with mental illness.

“Will you guys be coming out with a joke sweater about people with cancer too? “ asked one OCD awareness group according to BuzzFeed.

MOVIE REVIEW

Not your typical cancer film

Photos courtesy of S Films

By JAMEY JOHNSON Staff Writer Catherine Hardwicke, the director of “Twilight” brings a production filled with drama and romance, starring familiar faces we have all grown to know, Drew Barry-

more from “50 First Dates” and Toni Collette from “Little Miss Sunshine.”

Miss You Already, a film about two best friends who have been inseparable since a young age compliment each other well by being polar opposites.

With the setting in London, where

a lot of rock ‘n’ roll bands have shows & the nightlife is embedded in their culture, it was the perfect atmosphere because throughout the movie they are partying, drinking, and having fun.

While Milly (Toni Collette) is into rock bands, drinking so much until she has one-night stands, and crazy partying, Jess (Drew Barrymore) is more subtle and the “mom” figure of both characters, always the responsible designated driver but nonetheless, down to go out any night.

Both going through life changing events, the director focuses on both the good and bad.

Milly is suffering from the word that we cringe to hear, “cancer,” while Jess is on cloud nine when she receives news that she is expecting her first child after a long wait.

Never leaving her side, best friend Jess is right there with Milly through it all.

The soundtrack of this film is another important feature to me because it helped play a part when setting the mood.

Singer Paloma Faith’s music running throughout the bad moments and rock ‘n’ roll groups like Bands of Skulls gives you the perfect upbeat mood to enjoy the scenes even more.

With the film being almost 2 hours you will not be disappointed. You will laugh when you’re supposed to for instance, when Milly cracks jokes.

After getting to the root of the movie,

Jess is concerned when she asks, “How did the tumor get so big?” “Because it’s aggressive, like you!” Milly answers. She is always good for being sarcastic with her loved ones.

The highlight of the movie was their sense of realism to remain positive in the face of devastation.

Overall, this is a must see movie that will have any audience never wanting to leave their loved one’s side and seemingly helps them to cherish every moment with one another.

Prior to watching with my best friend I thought, “This movie seems so boring, I had never heard of it.”

I’m usually not the one to see a film if I haven’t heard anything about it but that just goes to show that you should never judge a movie by its trailer.

I am glad my assumption was wrong because I ended up enjoying it. As opposed to other dramedys that seem forced to show emotion, “Miss You Already” did not.

The movie is very relatable as well, because we all have those unexpected times where you just have to roll with the punches, but regardless, these two show you through their expertise how to deal with it.

I admired the relationship between the girls and hope it inspires the audience to grasp the lessons learned of death, marriage, family, and friendship unlike your typical cancer movie.

ALBUM REVIEW

Pretty gory for an angel

By ABEL ARRIOLA OLA Staff Writer

E

lectronic artist Grimes takes a different path in her mind maybe for the better, but for the mind of her fans it’s for the worst.

Claire Boucher, also known as Grimes is an electronic musician from Vancouver, Canada.

Creating a computerized mix of styles fused with contemporary instrumentals and vocals.

She released her newest album “Art Angels” on Nov. 6 and it seems she has taken a different lane.

If you compare it to her album “Visions,” which she released back in 2012, it seems like she has stepped away from herself. If you ask me, “Visions” was a great album with songs like “Oblivion” and “Vowels = Space and Time.” She really brings back that ‘70s retro, electronic vibe that makes you want to dance.

“Art Angels” is more of her hip-

ster side.

It is more of an indie style type album.

Her song “Flesh Without Blood” seems like something that you would hear at a store like Forever 21 or Urban Outfitters, which makes you want to shop.

As CSUSB student Margaret Hignett said, “she is trying to be something she isn’t, I hate how an artist can make one awesome album and as soon as they gain fame from that album, they want to go mainstream and make disappointing music like this new album of hers.”

For this album, Grimes tries to incorporate the issues we deal with on

earth like the deforestation going on in the Amazon rainforest as well as her supernatural fantasies.

“Butterfly” is a song that talks about the deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, it’s from the perspective of a butterfly witnessing the atrocious behavior.

Personally, yes that is cool and all, trying to spread change in the world, but to be honest people want to listen to songs they can relate to. If she still created her electronic-retro type music, it would be something I would consider listening to, as for “Art Angels,” I would not contemplate buying.

From the start, just by looking at the album cover, it’s an alien girl with three eyes crying tears of blood out in space, with a shooting star on the side also crying but regular tears coming out.

Don’t let the album cover fool you though. When I saw the album cover I told myself it could be a good album and something to look forward to. Listening to a couple songs in immediately disappointed me.

For example, there is one song called “Kill V. Maim” that Grimes explains in an interview by Q Magazine is written from the perspective of Al Pacino in the “Godfather Pt.2,” “Except he is a vampire who can switch [genders] and travel through space,” said Grimes.

“Being a fan myself, I also caught that in her song,” student Alicia Pacheco stated. “...excuse my language but this is the sh*t no one wants to listen to. I understand the change she is trying to make, but it is definitely not for her, I want the old Grimes back,” she continued.

For those interested in earthly issues and supernatural fantasies, this album is highly recommended for you. For those who enjoy the old Grimes, this album can be left on the shelves.

My life didn’t have meaning until I married Prince Charming.

I left my whole world and gave up my voice for a man I didn’t know.

Disney Hegemony Reinforcing Gender Roles & Stereotypes Since 1937

By SARAH JOHNSON Staff Writer

For most of us Generation Y-ers, Disney movies were typically what our parents popped into the VHS player for us to watch as children.

Fast forward to present Blu-ray days and watch “The Little Mermaid” (that is if you got it before they put it back “in the vault”) and see how you feel about all the sacrifices Ariel makes just for a man.

Ariel, princess, (of course) finds herself longing after a man she sees on a boat, then rescues and brings him onto land.

Singing to him on the beach “What would I give to live where you are/What would I pay to stay here beside you/What would I do to see you/Smiling at me?” she’s already willing to give anything to be “part of his world.”

This one minute of staring into Prince Eric’s shut eyes seems to instantly cause Ariel to fall in love, and boom, she’s hooked like a fish.

Ultimately Ariel decides that she needs to go to the sea witch, Ursula, to be turned into a human. Ursula agrees to give Ariel legs in exchange for her voice.

Ariel, rightfully so, is alarmed at the thought of losing her voice and questions how she will speak to Prince Eric without words.

The sea witch goes on to sing, “You have your looks, your pretty face/And don’t underestimate the

value of body language.”

Then continues in lyric about how men on land are not impressed with conversations and prefer a woman who holds her tongue.

The entire song implies that women only need their body to get a man, and what she has to say—thoughts, opinions, intelligence—will only bore and drive men away. It’s alarming now as a quarter-century-year-old female watching these childhood favorites and seeing how Disney promotes such sexist and hegemonic concepts in children’s movies.

Hegemonic masculinity is a concept derived by sociologist R.W. Connell; it is a proposed practice that promotes the dominant social position of men and the subordinate social position of women.

Another great example of masculine hegemony is in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.”

“Beauty and the Beast” suggests to girls that if a man is angry, rough or violent, instead of running for the woods, she should stick around to teach the “beast” to be tender and kind.

Dr. Carolyn Newberger, child psychologist, stated this film teaches to “overlook the abuse, overlook the violence, there’s a tender prince lurking within and it’s your job to kiss that beast and bring the prince out.”

I can’t help not to but think of the mental effect

these films have not only on both female and male children, but also on myself.

Dr. Justin Lewis, professor of Communication at Cardiff University, stated “The way the media influences the way we think is much less immediate and much less a sort of straight forward impact in the way we think.”

“After a while those images will begin to shape what we know and what we understand about the world. And that’s not an immediate kind of whiz-bang effect, that’s a slow accumulative effect and it’s much more subtle,” continued Lewis.

The sad fact is that Disney has been, and will continue to produce these films, over time brainwashing children into a certain set of ideas as how to view society and how to be a part of society.

Unfortunately there isn’t quite an exact way to “save” your children, or yourself, from this culture either.

Unless of course you wish to hide away from society or never allow your children out of the house.

With all the power that the Walt Disney Co. holds, I hope one day they’ll instead opt to educate children about the reality of the world they live in, omit the sexist gender roles, and take more pride in their films, rather than revel in the revenue.

Salary Transparency Glassdoor offers salary and employment information College students’ worst fear after graduating: the dreadful and sometimes discouraging job search.

With that diploma in hand, the job search can be stressful, painful, or non-existent. Well, there is a solution to your stress-inducing search, enter Glassdoor.

Glassdoor launched in 2008 by Robert Hohman, Rich Barton and Tim Besse, where their mission statement is “To help people everywhere find jobs and companies they love.”

Glassdoor, this lesser known online job search program, similar to Monster, allows you to search for a job as well as post your resume to the site for potential employers who use the site to find new employees.

Although it’s similar to Monster, that’s where the similarities end.

“Unlike other job search sites, we pair millions of job listings with more than 10 million company reviews, CEO approval ratings, interview reviews and questions, salary reports and more, directly from those who know a company best – the employees,” stated Glassdoor career trend analyst, Scott Dobroski.

Dobroski added, “Unlike any other site, this gives job seekers an inside look at what it’s really like to work at a company and allows them to make more informed job search decisions.”

During my research of the site, I discovered that after you register for an account to upload your resume to Glassdoor, and your account has been authorized and activated, you have 10 days of unlimited access to Glassdoor.

I found that Glassdoor is completely free—there is no subscription or data fees in order to use Glassdoor. However, they require past employment information, such as salary and employment position, in order to use their services beyond the free trial.

Students have the tools at their fingertips; the problem is, will students use this in order for them to find a job?

“I occasionally look at it to see if there are any emerging fields I should be paying attention to,” said student Mark Martinez.

“As part of Glassdoor’s mission, we are committed to workplace transparency. Research has shown that pay transparency can help reduce the pay gap, encouraging underpaid workers to negotiate for a wage increase or to find a better-fitting job,” stated Dobroski.

“This increases employee satisfaction, worker productivity and labor market efficiency overall, so it is good for a company’s bottom line as well,” added Dobroski.

Martinez used Glassdoor to research the salaries of potential jobs that he will apply for.

“It’s always nice to ballpark where your salary should be. It’s also a nice reference to have when your negotiating your salary with a potential employer as well,” stated Martinez, “that way you don’t get cheated on your starting salary.” Not only professional jobs are posted on Glassdoor, but entry-level jobs as well.

“Glassdoor has millions of jobs listed on our site across all industries, levels, occupations and locations,” stated Dobroski. We live in a time period where we as job seekers can access employee salaries before we even get the call back for the interview. Glassdoor may be the answer to the discouraging job search, take advantage of it, Coyotes.

YouTube the next Hulu?

By NICHOLAS WHITT Staff Writer

YouTube has created a subscription service called YouTube Red, and it opens up multiple avenues on how it may provide online video and educational content.

“Google has been breaking even in terms of revenue and cost production with YouTube for the past nine years,” according to Dan Bates, a writer for DailyMail. com.

Charging people money to watch some of their favorite creators make unique content is the same principle as the famous web based video content Hulu followed.

Hulu, back in 2009, used to be free for everyone and gained most of their revenue from ads, just like YouTube. Now, Hulu is a subscription service with only certain content able to be viewed for free after a certain amount of time, which then becomes blocked for subscribers only.

Paying for content that was free at one point may not be the ideal thing for the viewer, but this extra source of income allowed Hulu to syndicate certain shows like Seinfeld for its viewers to enjoy, giving a

reason to be a Hulu subscriber.

This idea may not apply the same with YouTube.

YouTube stated that it will be giving popular creators money to create more advanced content that would be exclusively available for Red subscribers to enjoy.

This may force creators to make more content for Red subscribers and less on their regular channel.

This will lead to less content made by some of your favorite YouTubers and more paid content that YouTube is controlling, according to Justin Dennis, writer for makeuseof.com.

This is not the first attempt YouTube has made with trying to switch to TV type of production.

In 2012, YouTube paid hundreds of millions of dollars to content producers, an early effort to create television-like chan-

nels, according to Rolfe Winkler, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal.

With YouTube giving money to creators to make larger production videos, this may remove the one-on-one experience from YouTube videos, which distinguishes YouTube from other entertainment sources and educational videos.

The podcast Dude Soup episode #36

by Funhaus, a group that works for rooster teeth, and Geoff Ramsey, the Co-creator of Rooster Teeth, talked about PewDiePie and said, he is as popular as he is because he has a one-on-one relationship with his viewers, as if you are actually there at his house playing or watching the game with him.

“Google wants people to turn on YouTube the way they turn on their TV,” according to Bates.

The issue with this is, the type of con-

tent on YouTube does not match TV production in terms in how it’s broadcasted and staged.

“There’s a lot of junk” on YouTube, said Pivotal Research analyst Brian Weiser.

“If they want meaningful TV budgets, they need to invest in TV content.”

YouTube is not making any money despite having more than a billion viewers, continued Dan Bates.

Google is struggling with YouTube and is trying to gain revenue any way possible, even willing to take down channels like ESPN in the process.

YouTube is “stripping away the powers from the creators,” by losing connections and freedom to work with their audiences, according to Dennis.

YouTube is even willing to take out of the viewers’ wallets; watch out everyone, the sharks are coming out.

Restaurant Review

MEXICAN GRILL

By MIREYA RODRIGUEZ Staff Writer Qdoba Mexican Grill, located only 30 minutes away from campus in Upland, is your Chipotle away from Chipotle. If you are a Chipotle fan, you will love this lookalike.

Positioned on the corner of a shopping center, Qdoba—pronounced Kew-DohBah, according to Qdoba’s official Twitter—can be found nestled next to a frozen yogurt shop among many other little shops and restaurants.

Cute, little round tables with white umbrellas are located outside the restaurant by a small porch.

Open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Qdoba serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

With a design-your-own setting, you can start by choosing between a taco, burrito, bowl, nachos, quesadillas, taco salads, or Mexican gumbo.

As I love burritos, but not the calories that come with flour tortillas, I chose a healthier version, a tortilla-less burrito, otherwise known as a bowl. There were a plethora of ingredients to choose from.

To continue, there is a choice of grilled adobe chicken, tequila lime chicken, ground beef, pulled pork, grilled steak, and shredded beef. Next comes the choice of rice, white cilantro or brown.

After choosing chicken and white rice, as I can not sacrifice taste for calories, I selected black beans instead of pinto. I chose black beans because they are lower in calories compared to pinto, and taste pretty similar in the bowl.

The big difference between Chipotle and Qdoba comes next: sauces!

You can choose up to 2 of these delicious sauces: 3-Cheese Queso, Queso Dia-

blo, Ancho Chile BBQ Sauce, or Smoky Chipotle Cream Sauce. To match the chipotle flavored chicken at Chipotle I got chipotle sauce.

Veggies are optional, but you can choose from guacamole or grilled fajita peppers. When you are almost done, the choice of salsa comes next.

From Pico de Gallo, Salsa Verde, Fiery Habanero salsa, Roasted Chile Corn Salsa, and Salsa Roja, I made the safe choice of Pico de Gallo as that is usually the least spicy.

To top it off, there is a choice of cheese, shredded lettuce, diced jalapeños, sour cream, tortilla strips, and bacon. I only chose lettuce and tortilla strips to finish my customized bowl.

Once I was done creating my bowl, I chose a fountain drink to complete my

order. There was a “freestyle” Coca-Cola machine, to tie it all together.

The employee who created my bowl and the cashier were both friendly and smiled throughout the whole process.

From the counter I took my tray to a little booth to finally eat my fantastic bowl.

From the crunchy tortilla strips to the creamy chipotle sauce, my bowl was delicious and definitely hit the spot.

“Better than Chipotle, straight off the bat. They have tons more options, better toppings, hotter salsas, and to top it off.... guac is free!!!! You won’t be disappointed!” stated Yelp user Leo. T. Done with my bowl, I threw away my trash, and refilled my fountain drink to go.

That was the end of my Qdoba experience, although full, it left me hungry to come back again.

Turkey time for 20 gobbles

By SANDY RODRIGUEZ Staff Writer Let’s face it, we can’t all make it home for Thanksgiving and we can’t all afford to cook an expensive dinner.

Some of us have homework and others have work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a home-cooked holiday dinner away from home or that we have to spend $30 on a turkey alone.

I made it my mission to prepare a savory Thanksgiving dinner without spending Thanksgiving money.

I made my way to Stater Brothers with only $20 in my pocket and went straight to the meat aisle.

I found a ready-to-heat, honey cured boneless ham for about $11.

I bought a can of pineapple for $1.50, so I could add it to the top of the ham, but that is optional.

Mashed potatoes are a must and I personally prefer actual potatoes instead of the two ingredient box type.

A small bag of russet potatoes was on sale for $1.50.

I decided to add cheese instead of gravy, a small portion of cheese goes for around the same as a can of gravy for about $2.

Veggies completed the dish so I decided to go for my favorite vegetable and bought broccoli for $2, which of course can be substituted for any vegetable of choice.

The purchase was completed and came to a total of $19.37.

I decided to use minimal utensils in order to simulate cooking in a dorm.

The following makes 5 to 6 servings.

Ingredients 1/4 Ham A large head of broccoli 7 Russet potatoes 1 tablespoon butter Salt and pepper to taste Garlic salt to taste Optional: Pineapple Jack cheese Crushed red pepper

Steps Set a 3/4 water-filled sauce pan on high heat; let it boil.

As you wait, wash the potatoes.

Place the potatoes in the boiling water for about 30 minutes or until you could easily poke them with a fork.

Pre-heat the oven to 375 F. Put a small amount of butter on a oven safe pan and set the ham on the pan, with an option of pineapple on the top.

Place the ham in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes once the oven is preheated.

Rinse broccoli and cut into desired slices and set it in a pan to steam for about 15 minutes with a small amount of water and a pinch of salt.

Wash sink in order to place the hot potatoes on it once they’re ready and soft.

Once the potatoes are cool enough, you may peel them with your hands, knife, or potato peeler and cut them into small cubes. Set them in a large bowl and mush them with clean hands if you don’t have a

potato masher.

Place the butter in a clean sauce pan. p Once melted, add the he potatoes, a cup up of milk, a tablespoon of garlic salt, a teasp teaspoon spoon of salt and a teaspoon n of black peppe pepper er and mix well. Once the mashed potato potatoes oes are close to boiling, you may add chee cheese ese and/ or red pepper if you wish.

Once boiled, your our mashed potatoes should be ready to serve erve along with w your ham and steamed broccoli. ccoli.

Bon appetite!

Total Due: $19.37

ENERGY DRINKS are unhealthy yet popular

“With Red Bull I think of parties, because of their crazy YouEnergy drinks like Red Bull, MonTube videos,” said student Jorge Sanchez. “Pretty much, everyster, and Rockstar have gained a rep- thing awesome is sponsored by Redbull.” utation for being poor for our health, yet their popularity continues to soar Energy drink brands seem to have among college students. no trouble gaining popularity, but like most things, when excessiveA major benefit to energy drinks is the boost of energy they provide, so it isn’t strange that many college students turn to en- ly used, energy drinks can become ergy drinks, particularly during midterm and finals week. dangerous and even harmful to our The caffeine and sugar inside energy drinks is what helps your body get that extra boost, according to an article by Inside Science. health.

“Caffeine makes you feel more energized by affecting your brain, while sugar refuels your body’s cells and helps keep you physically active longer,” said Ali Jennings.

This is what makes energy drinks attractive to so many, especially college students.

“If I really need to stay up, then yeah I will drink a Monster or Redbull, but if I just need some extra energy I will just get Starbucks,” said student Stephanie Monne.

Some may argue that for college students, it’s not the extra boost that attracts them to energy drinks, but the fact that these drinks are easily accessible.

When discussing energy drinks among college students, Monne mentioned that energy drink brands were a constant figure on her college campus and seemed to always be available.

According to an article published by Mayo Clinic, symptoms related to excessive energy drink consumption may include “nervousness, irritability, insomnia, rapid heartbeat, and increased blood pressure.”

In a similar report by WebMD, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, Suzanne Farrell, referred to energy drinks as

“there will be an energy burst, but it could also lead to agitation, difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity, a problem sleeping, nausea, and affect blood pressure.”

Many college students aren’t unaware of these negative effects.

“Sometimes it gives me a stomach ache, if I drink a whole Monster, but if I drink a smaller amount I feel fine,” said Sanchez.

It is no surprise that energy drinks are not the healthiest thing we could consume, but it seems that as long as they are consumed in moderation, there is not a lot of harm done.

“Out of my whole college career (4 years) I only bought one energy “For most people, occasional endrink, the rest of the time they were given to me,” said Monne. “They [en- ergy drinks are fine, but try to limit ergy drink brands] are really good at yourself to about 16 ounces (500 milmarketing toward college students.” liliters) a day,” said MayoClinic.

Many energy drink brands, such as Redbull and Monster, have marketed themselves as not just a drink but an entertainment brand.

By sponsoring exciting events, like Monster Energy’s Supercross and Redbull’s sponsored Grand Prix, these brands become more than just a drink college students need to stay up.

So next time you find yourself pulling an all-nighter on a paper or studying for an exam, try limiting yourself to only one energy drink.

Or maybe just play it safe and drink coffee—the superior stimulant.

basketball begins

By KIARA PAUL Staff Writer

Coyote men’s basketball lost against the California Polytechnic State University Mustangs in a back and forth battle, Nov. 5, 2015.

Although this was an exhibition game, it was still tough for the Coyotes to lose.

The first period begun with a shot by Mustang David Nwaba as well as a threepointer by Joel Awich, which gave the Mustangs at a five-point lead.

The Coyotes were bound and determined as they made their way to the hoop. Zeke DeBlase attempted a threepointer, but missed the shot.

Coyotes redeemed themselves with a rebound and tip-in by Phil Reed, the Coyotes now only three points behind the Mustangs. A foul by Reed allowed Nwaba to shoot a free throw, resulting in another point for the Mustangs.

The Coyotes were strong-willed as they made their way down the court.

Coyote Brandon Staton attempted a three-pointer, but missed the hoop.

A few moments later, Jarion Henry attempted a lay-up, unable to make it into the hoop. As the frustration of missed shots lingered, Coyote Aaron Cheatum made his way toward the basket.

As Mustangs blocked his access for a lay-up, Cheatum stopped on a dime and completed a jump-shot. At one point the Coyotes caught up, almost bringing the game to a tie. This was the only time in the entire game that the Coyotes came close to tying with the Mustangs.

The game was 15-8. The Coyotes seemed to be down on their luck until Juan Martinez shot a three-pointer, which brought the game to 15-11. The Coyotes continued with another three-pointer by Cheatum, the game now 15-14.

The rest of the first period was tough for the Coyotes and the Mustangs kept the lead until the end. The first half wrapped up with the Mustangs in the lead, 44-36.

The second half began with a layup by Henry, which brought about a new sense of hope for the Coyotes.

Still the struggle continued for the Coyotes as the Mustangs completed two lay-ups and one dunk.

The Coyotes were behind by 12 points as the pressure continued to mount.

Coyotes missed a jump-shot, then a three-pointer, and another jump-shot. The Mustangs snuck in a dunk by Nwaba, the score now 52-38.

Then Coyote Jordan Williams made a shot. Williams made his way down the court to the hoop and went for a lay-up, which brought the Coyotes up two points.

The Mustangs maintained their attack against the Coyotes, Mustangs racked up the points and remained in the lead.

As the game came down to an end, the Coyotes were still 11 points down.

A jump-shot brought the Coyotes two more points, but were not enough to bring them close to winning.

The Mustangs won 73-60.

Women’s soccer ends season

By SIERRA MARRERO Staff Writer This year the Coyote’s Women’s Soccer team had a toss up of five wins, 10 losses, and three ties in the 2015 Women’s Soccer season.

Eleven of the team’s 18 games were decided by one goal. Only two of the team’s games were decided by three goals.

The Coyotes opened up the season with a win of 3-0 against the Academy of Art Urban Knights, and were able to exhibit dominance in their offense and defense.

Freshmen Denae Verdine scored the initial goal and assisted in the remainder of the goals, as senior Melanie Aguayo scored the final two goals.

After losing to the Academy of Art Urban Knights, the Coyotes tied their second game with Dominican University, and then lost at the hands of Dixie State, with a score of 0-1.

The Coyotes suffered a three game losing streak, until they came back and won against the UC San Diego Tritons, with a score of 3-2. The Coyotes marked the defeat against UC San Diego as only the sixth time in CSUSB they were victorious versus the Tritons.

As the September winning streak continued, the Coyotes continued to face hard pressure from opposing teams.

In the game against Cal State Dominguez Hills, Verdine posted the only goal of the game in the seventy-fourth minute.

Following the game against Dominguez Hills, the Coyotes ended the game against

Cal Poly Pomona in a 1-1 deadlock.

During the first half, in the eleventh minute, Coyotes Gabby Evaristo shot the first goal. Coyote Ebony Squier was able to do a clean pass enabling Gabby to receive the ball in front of the box, and then drive in.

Also in the first half, during the sixtyfourth minute, Cal Poly Pomona was able to score as Ariana Fleischman fired from the right side of the goal from about 18 yards out. Unfortunately, the Broncos defense provided enough pressure that there were no more shots made by the Coyotes during the second half.

As the calendar flipped to October, the Coyotes rode high on emotions as they continued to have their share of dramatic finishes. The Coyotes could not seem to get out of their second losing streak.

After falling out in seven of the season’s October games, the Coyotes returned home and claimed a two-goal victory over Humboldt State. Senior All-CCAA forward Aguayo, broke the 0-1 score when she drove a shot from 25 yards out on a pass from Evaristo in the sixty-seventh minute.

Following the goal from Aguayo was a goal made by Paige Kang, by free kicking through the box, leaving the Coyotes with a winning score of 2-1. At the end of the season, CSUSB honored its five seniors—Katie Gagner , Kiersten Miller, Steffany De La Torre, Jill Wierzbicki and Melanie Aguayo—in a pregame ceremony.

The Coyotes finished the season at 5-10-3 overall and 4-7-1 in the CCAA.

Yotes’ winning streak comes to end

Every member of the volleyball team holds their hands over their hearts for the National Anthem before the start of their game. They are united as one, ready to take on their opponents with one goal in mind: to win.

By ANISSA VASQUEZ Staff Writer Number 17 Coyote volleyball team ended their 11 match winning streak with a tough loss to California State University Stanislaus on Saturday Nov. 7.

Coming off a strong win against California State University Chico, Coyotes hoped to bring the momentum from that match into the one against the Warriors.

The Warriors snapped a 29-match losing streak to the Coyote to post their first win over CSUSB since Nov. 3, 2000.

The Coyote loss was just the third in 43 all-time meetings.

Coyotes lost 3-2.

The Coyotes are now 22-4 overall and 15-3 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA).

The Warriors improved to 14-9 overall and 8-9 in the CCAA. Through five rounds of intense set play the Coyotes and Warriors were not going to give up the battle for the win.

The upset loss was humongous in so many ways.

Coyote sophomore Lauren Nicholson led with 22 kills.

Right behind her was senior Alexandra Torline, who struggled with hitting errors early, but regrouped late in

the match and had 17 kills.

Blair Ehrlich led the Warriors with 14 kills.

During the first match Coyotes and Warriors fought back and forth for the lead, however the Coyotes were able to secure the win 25-18.

The second round started off as a replay of the first until a service error turned the momentum for the Warriors.

No matter which way the Coyotes hit, there was a Warrior to defend as six players were in double digits in digs.

The Warriors would win the second round with a score of 25-21.

The Coyotes found their momentum again to win the third round 25-20. Leading two sets to one in the fourth, the Coyotes led 19-16 before the Warriors crept back.

The Warriors rallied late as Paige Walker hammered away a couple of shots.

The set was tied at 20, 21, 22 and 23 before the Warriors won with a kill and a Coyotes’ attack error to force the fifth set.

Warriors scored the first six points of the fifth round causing the Coyotes to try to come out of a deep deficit early in the round.

Warriors pushed ahead 10-5 before Coyotes came back.

A kill from Torline and a bad set cut the deficit to a three.

The Coyotes huddle to pump each other up for the next play, hungry for points and even hungrier for a win.

The Coyotes continued to try to find a way to shift the momentum back in their favor.

After a CSUSB service error, the Coyotes scored three straight points with block assists from Malika O’Brien and Torline.

O’Brien and Ashley Solis were able to help close the gap to 11-10.

But the momentum did not last long.

A kill from the Warriors and a service ace would put them ahead 13-10.

The decisive set eventually played out to 13-12 with two straight CSUSB points.

The Warriors and the Coyotes knew it was coming down to the end of round.

The Warriors would take a timeout and that would signal the end for the Coyotes.

Two consecutive kills by Walker and Ehrlich sent the team into a frenzy.

Warriors won 15-12 over the Coyotes.

The almost undefeated Coyotes hope to bounce back strong from this tough loss and continue to dominate throughout the playoffs.
