Manchester in Mourning England mourns the dead after bomb blast leaves 22 concert goers dead including many children.

Ani Nalbandian Copy Editor Among the 22 killed in the Manchester bombing are children as young as eight, a police officer, a schoolteacher, college students, and a young couple. The victims were children and parents waiting for loved ones leaving the Ariana Grande concert on May 22.

A suicide bomber was on the forecourt of the arena where he detonated explosives at the end of the concert. The explosion was the result of a nail bomb, where nails are placed inside the bomb to act as shrapnel once it is activated, causing mass casualties.

In the subsequent days after the bombing, the attacker, a British citizen of Libyan

carrying out the concert attack. Two of those arrested were released and nine remain in custody for questioning.

ISIS has claimed to have planned and carried out the attack. However, their statement raises a few questions.

The terrorist organization’s statement said the bomb was placed “in the midst of the gatherings.” However the bomb was neither placed (it was a suicide bomb), nor was it in the midst (it was outside the stadium).

Ariana Grande’s stage manager, Art McConnell, recalls the moments after the explosion, saying "My job was to change gears ... to [help] all of our people [crew] exit the building through the back into the loading area and make sure they were all accounted for.”

Grande was quickly rushed from the arena after the bombing, where she was taken to a safe place and checked for injuries. Once she was able to, Grande tweeted “Broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. I don't have words.”

After her mother made desperate appeals for information from the public about her daughter’s whereabouts, Olivia Campbell, only 15, was found dead from the attack. Chloe Rutherford, 17 and Liam Curry, 19, were a young couple that died during the attack.

They were described as “perfect in every way for each other” by both of

The final victim to be named, 15-year-old Megan Hurley, was with her brother at the concert, who sustained serious injuries. Another 14-year-old, Sorrell Leczkowski, died beside her mother and grandmother, who are both still in the hospital. Nell Jones and Eilidh MacLeod, both 14 year olds, were confirmed dead by both sets of parent’s days after the attack.

Making Clean Air A Reality Monika Kim South Coast Air Quality Management District Most people associate the sky with the color blue.

However, growing up in Southern California, I never thought of the sky as blue. I found it strange that pictures and movies portrayed the sky so v i b r a n t l y.

I thought that the sky was supposed to be the hazy, murky combination of yellow, gray and blue that I always saw when I looked up.

On our family’s weekend commutes into the city, I would look out and see cars, trucks and buses, backed up for miles and miles on the freeway. I came to accept the smell of what I now know is diesel exhaust – exhaust emitted from diesel engines, like the ones in big trucks and buses – as commonplace.

What I didn’t know then was that there are serious potential health issues associated with breathing in diesel fumes.

Diesel fumes, especially particulate matter and other air pollution can cause both short term and long term health effects, such as irritation to the throat and lungs, aggravated asthma symptoms, heart disease, heart attacks and cancer.

Prior to starting my internship with

the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) my freshman year of college, I knew nothing about air pollution and the immense risks it had for our health and the environment. I never realized how greatly it impacted people living within the South Coast Basin.

The first few meetings I attended during my internship at SCAQMD truly opened my eyes to the hardships that families face because of poor air quality, especially those living in environmental justice communities. I had no personal experiences with asthma or other air pollution-related illnesses, but I heard continuously about babies who had to wear masks to breathe, about children who had to sit on the sidelines and watch while others played games and about people who were suffering.

I heard hundreds of stories throughout the course of my internship, and all of them touched my heart. In the end, the messages that we were hearing were the same: they wanted things to get better. They didn’t want the ones they loved to be sick. They wanted hope for the future. They wanted clean air for themselves, for their communities and for future generations.

I’ve learned that protecting the air we breathe isn’t easy, and it definitely isn’t cheap. Considering how many people are affected by this issue, we need to make air quality a priority. We need to make sure that the federal and state governments make it a priority so that clean air can become a reality for you and me.

In an average lifespan, a person will take almost 700 million breaths. It’s up to us to make sure that each one counts.

I knew that after all I’d heard and learned, I couldn’t just walk away. Three years after my internship, I returned to SCAQMD in 2016. I came back to SCAQMD to work as a full-time employee in the Legislative, Public Affairs, and Media Department. We all must continue the fight for clean air in our communities.

In an attempt to save her 11-yearold niece, Kelly Brewster, 32, died in the blast. “She ran to shield Hollie from the blast as best she could. She threw herself in front of her,” said a friend of Brewsters’. Michelle Kiss, 45, was killed while accompanying her daughter to the concert. Philip Tron, 32, step-father of Courtney Boyle, 19, were both confirmed dead after desperate pleas on Facebook for information.

The youngest child confirmed dead is Saffie Rose Roussos, eight years old, who was separated from her mother and her sister - they are still receiving hospital treatment. She was a student at Tarleton Community Primary School in Leyland, Lancashire. “Saffie was simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word. She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly,” said Chris Upton, headteacher at Roussos’ school.

The day after the explosion Grande tweeted, "There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better…

However I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need help in any way."

Ariana announced that she will host a benefit concert in Manchester in honor of the victims and to raise money for their families. Details about the concert will be announced once the gig is confirmed. "Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before," said Grande.

Show Me The Money A guide for securing funds to support your education at Cal State LA Anthony Karambelas Staff Reporter For those new to the Cal State LA community, finding the right scholarship opportunities can be intimidating. Luckily, our school makes it easy for all students to request the funding they need.

For starters, financial aid works in a myriad of ways. Some types of aid (grants and scholarships) do not need to be repaid, while others (loans) do.

Grants are offered through the Federal and State governments, and are given to those students who demonstrate financial need. The most common type of grant is the Federal Pell Grant, which varies in size depending on a student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC).

The maximum disbursement for the 2017-18 school year was $5,238. This number, of course, depends on the information provided in a student’s FAFSA application.

Scholarships are less specific and can be merit (purely based on academic achievement) or can factor in the financial need of a student. Cal State LA offers over 400 scholarships every year. The Center for Student Financial Aid & Scholarships provides all the necessary tools to get you on your way to a significant sum of money.

All students have to do is submit a General Application. Scholarships are then matched to the student depending on their major or career interests. To be eligible, all one has to do is prove that they are a current Cal State LA student and that they will be enrolled in the following year.

Graduates

Off-campus scholarships are run by the National & International Scholarships and Fellowships Program.

Their advisor, Cassidy Zimmerman helps prepare students’ applications to off-campus forms of financial aid.

Contact and additional information can be found through their website: http:// www.calstatela.edu/nisfep.

Loans are a bit trickier, partially because they involve a return payment.

As a result, Cal State LA recommends that students pursue campus-based aid or grants before taking a loan.

Direct Federal Loans are regulated disbursements of money from the government that are affordable and can, on occasion, target lower income students. Private loans, on the other hand, are credit-based loans offered by independent vendors. These should only be requested after a Direct Federal Loan.

“What ASI is going to probably going to do in one of our first board of directors [meetings] is approve a resolution that says ASI is in support for this smoking [and vape] tobacco free, and that we as students are for it.” The ASI president is looking forward to seeing to seeing Executive Order 1108 implemented, but how do individuals on campus feel about the ban?

Under the Cal State University System (CSU) Executive Order 1108,

all CSU campuses will be 100% smoke, vape, and tobacco free starting September 1, 2017.

The executive order was issued

by CSU Chancellor Timothy White, and takes the place of Executive order 599, which gave each campuses the option to implement their own smoking policy.

Under Article III of Executive Order 1108, exceptions to the smoke, vape and tobacco ban are listed.

Nicotine cessation products regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration are permitted, and “Smoking in university-sponsored theater and dance productions, student-authored or sponsored scenes, showcases or

workshops produced as part of the department of theatre as well as ceremonial campus events may be authorized by the President or designee only when a required part of a specific performance.”

Article III also states, “Campus presidents or their designees shall have the responsibility of implementing

Ricky Rodas Managing Editor this Executive order on their campus with an anticipated implementation date no later than September 1, 2017.”

All of the CSU’s have set up taskforces to ensure a smooth transition in making their campus a smoke-free environment.

Troy Allen oversees Cal State LA’s taskforce, and ASI President David Zitser sat on the taskforce to help create the marketing for it and determine how to address the problem of smoking on campus.

I can see the negative effect smoking has had on students,” she said.

Others like Administrative Assistant Douglas Ramon don’t smoke, but sympathizes with campus smokers. “I’m not a smoker so it doesn’t affect any of my habits and I feel pretty indifferent toward it, but if I had to take a position I would want people to be able to smoke on campus… it would be nice if they could at least have smoking section.”

Structure C, adjacent to lot 5, is convenient for accessing King Hall, the Music building, the Student Union and the library.

Students will be able to purchase fall parking permits online and in person the Parking & Transportation Service Center which is located South of lot 3 beginning July 31. Permits for Students and Housing Residents are now $182, a $17 increase since Fall 2016. Whether in person or online, students are encouraged to bring, along with their payment, a student ID, and vehicle information when making the transaction.

If students do not wish to purchase a permit for the semester, daily permits are an alternative. The cost is $3 for four hours and $6 for the entire day.

Cal State LA has erected four parking structures around campus to make it simple for students to park their vehicles close to most major buildings and halls where classes are held. Adjacent to lot 2, across from Salazar Hall as well as the physical sciences building, Structure A is the only dedicated edifice that allows students to park on all four levels with a semester and daily permit. Semester and daily permits are also valid in Lot 2. Structure B is directly across from structure A and is under Salazar Hall and the

Lot 1, (the) closest to the Hertzberg-Davis Forensic Science Center and campus police headquarters, allows the semester and daily permits to be used all the way in the front of the campus. Lot 7, excluding Lot 7A, which is dedicated to the resident dorms, also allows for daily and semester permits to be used. Although the semi-lengthy staircase, coined “cardiac hill” by many students, deters many from parking in lot 7, it offers many available parking spaces even during peak hours, but availability varies during the first few weeks of the semester.

Carmen Gachupin, Director of Public Safety on campus, advises students to arrive at least one hour to an hour and a half early to avoid arriving late to class since lots do start getting busy in the morning.

“Cars [are] already lined

up for parking as early as 8:30a.m.” said Ashley Hsu on a Facebook post that featured a number of cars lined up in a campus structure. “Many of us have signed a petition for more student parking. What is the next step to resolve this issue,” she asked?

“As enrollment increases, unfortunately drives will continue to experience difficulty finding an available parking space, as parking space is limited on campus,” said Director Gachupin.

“Construction for a new parking structure begins in Summer 2018. While the new structure gets underway, drivers should expect delays as the construction will have an impact on available parking.”

Gachupin and the department of Parking & Transportation encourage students to use alternate transportation options such as public transit, carpool, bicycle, and ride sharing services.

Gachupin advises students to not alter any daily permits as the fine is $208. Parking in the staff or faculty lots, misuse of anyone’s handicap placard on campus, stalling traffic for any reason or parking in non designated parking locations.

In order to avoid any infractions, students should take the time to familiarize themselves with the campus parking rules.

The University will begin construction on a new parking structure during the summer of 2018.

Las vacaciones están por llegar y muchos buscarán las playas para pasar estas vacaciones, sin embargo, las playas que no se deben visitar son las de San Clemente ya que ha habido reportes de docenas de tiburones blancos en sus aguas.

Las autoridades del condado de Orange se vieron obligados a cerrar las playas de la ciudad a las 10:30 a.m. del domingo ante pasado, después que notaran la presencia de 25 tiburones. La zona fue temporalmente reabierta por un par de horas el pasado lunes,

hasta que un pescador atrapara con su anzuelo un tiburón de 12 pies cerca del muelle, por lo que las autoridades se vieron nuevamente obligados a cerrarlas para los bañistas y surfistas del área.

Aparentemente no es la primera vez que se clausuran estas playas, ya que el mes pasado fueron cerradas debido a que un tiburón mordió a una mujer en la pierna. Además, a principios de este mes 15 tiburones fueron observados cerca de las costas.

Según los expertos, los tiburones se están acercando a las costas debido al fenómeno climatológico de El Niño, el cual ha hecho que las aguas de California permanezcan más calientes de lo normal, causando que estos animales no sigan sus patrones migratorios.

El investigador Chris Lowe del Shark Lab, de la Universidad Estatal de California en Long Beach explica que la cantidad de tiburones en esta época del año es inusual, pero esto se debe a que “durante el fuerte fenómeno de El niño que tuvimos en el 2016 los tiburones que etiquetamos ese verano nunca se fueron, porque las temperaturas del agua no se enfriaron tanto”.

Por lo tanto, los patrones migratorios del animal se alteraron y por esta razón es que se detectaron más tiburones en estas áreas. Es de esperarse que el incremento de la temperatura no solo afecta y altera el clima en todo el mundo, sino también afecta los comportamientos de los animales.

TEMAS GENERALES

Ex presidente peruano, prófugo de la justicia Alejandro Toledo es acusado de corrupción por sobornos Por Eduardo Ramos La Fiscalía de Perú continúa la investigación sobre supuestos sobornos por alrededor de 20 millones de dólares entregados a Alejandro Toledo, ex mandatario de ese país, por la constructora brasileña Odebrecht entre 2005 y 2014.

El pasado mes de febrero, el juez Richard Concepción dictó la orden de arresto contra Alejandro Toledo por soborno; sin embargo, esta no es la única acusación que hay contra él.

En abril, el juez Mario Guerra ordenó 18 meses de prisión preventiva para Toledo y su esposa, Eliane Karp, como parte de las investigaciones del caso Ecoteva. Dicho caso empezó en el 2013, después de que se descubriera la compra de una vivienda y una oficina en Lima por cerca de 5 millones de dólares a nombre de la suegra de Toledo, Eva Fernenbug, con fondos de una empresa creada en Costa Rica llamada Ecoteva.

Las autoridades sospechan

que el dinero de Ecoteva podría provenir del lavado de activos, delito del que se acusa al exmandatario y a Karp. La justicia peruana quiere que Estados Unidos, donde se encuentran Toledo y familia, extradite al expresidente para que enfrente las acusaciones.

Hace unos días Toledo negó, desde Nueva York, que sea un prófugo o que haya huido de su país, pero evitó precisar cuándo piensa regresar para enfrentar cargos por corrupción.

"Nunca en mi vida he recibido 10 soles, ni menos 20 millones, en sobornos" dijo el ex mandatario en una entrevista para la cadena CNN en español. “Sin avisarme me acusan, pero ¿quieren para mí una prisión preventiva? ¿Dónde está el estado de derecho? Yo no voy a regresar para ir a la cárcel sin que escuchen antes mi versión.” Agregó.

Ante la pregunta de por qué no da la cara, responde: "Yo doy la cara. Yo no soy fugitivo.

Yo estuve aquí cuando me avisaron de eso (el pedido de prisión). Yo no me he escapado de mi país, quiero que usted sepa. Se acabó. Y no le voy a responder nada más".

En Febrero de este año, el New York Times publicó que, en diciembre del 2016,

la empresa Odebrecht aceptó haber firmado acuerdos con los gobiernos de Estados Unidos, Brasil y Suiza para pagar multas por hasta 4,500 millones de dólares por haber infringido la Ley de Prácticas Corruptas en el extranjero, lo cual implicó sobornos por 800 millones de dólares a cambio de lucrativos contratos. Por su parte, los fiscales dijeron que la compañía pagó dichos sobornos por 100 proyectos en más de una docena de países, de México a Angola; en un caso llegó a comprar una sucursal bancaria local para ocultar las transacciones, e incluso abrió una división dedicada exclusivamente a manejar pagos.

La misma empresa admitió ante el Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos que un intermediario del gobierno peruano los contactó, en nombre de un alto funcionario, para ofrecerles la adjudicación de un proyecto de infraestructura a cambio de 20 millones de dólares entre el 2005 y el 2008. Según lo que algunos medios locales informaron, el proyecto mencionado se trata de la carretera Interoceánica Sur, que une a Brasil con el sur de Perú. Dicho contrato con Odebrecht se firmó en agosto de 2005, durante el gobierno de Toledo

Seventeen and Serving 17-year old ASI President David Zitser shares his plans for next year Ricky Rodas Managing Editor The Cal State LA Campus felt empty on a random Wednesday following spring finals week. While many students were likely relaxing at home and making travel plans for the summer, newly elected Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) President David Zitser, was working at the UniversityStudent Union (U-SU) alongside other members of ASI. Zitser will begin his term as president this week and will begin working with his team and newly elected vice presidents on fleshing out their plans over summer break. At age 17, he might just be the youngest ASI president Cal State LA has ever seen, but his maturity is evident. Zitser attended one year of high school before transferring to Cal State LA to study biological chemistry.

He’s entering his fourth year at the school.

He addressed the issue of his age relative to the responsibilities of student government, saying, “This is actually

my third year with ASI; I started out as an environmental committee member, and then a Natural Social Sciences college (NSS) representative, and now as the president-elect; I’m using that experience [so] like if people ask me, ‘do you have any experience because you’re so young,’ I can say, ‘Yeah, I actually do’, so I balance it out like that.”

He initially began his foray into school politics because of his passion for environmental issues and sustainability, leading him to join ASI’s environmental committee.

Friend and former ASI member Hanz Legaspi suggested to Zitser that he become a college representative. As an NSS College Representative, he learned what ASI’s mission statement was and what the organization stood for, which prompted him for his bid to presidency.

“Because I now know what ASI is about… I decided there are some changes I want to see within ASI, and the direction I want to take it; I could only do [so] by becoming the next president.” One of these changes is pushing to fill often-vacant positions within ASI. “Throughout the year we [sometimes] don’t have people applying for vacant positions, and one of ASI’s main things

is actually filling those positions… when we can’t get the positions filled it’s bad,” Zitser said. “There are different committees that the university has, and basically what ASI’s job is to represent the students and the way we do it is bringing students on those committees; so when we can’t get students to sit on those committees, those committees basically don’t have any student

representation.”

Zitser’s plan to generate student involvement involves the creation of club councils. The first step of this plan is filling out the ASI internal board of directors, which includes the college representatives. “Currently we have the opportunity to get 12 college representatives on the board, we only have four; [we have] two for NSS, one for A&L [College of Arts & Letters], and one for CCOE [Charter College of Education], so the first step is to get qualified people for those [remaining] positions,” Zitser said.

After finding the right people to be college representatives, Zitser will work with each of them to establish a club council for their respective colleges. The purpose of the club council is getting these college representatives to “gather all the clubs within their college into a room, and each club will have two representatives, and they’ll be discussing issues [that] each club has faced individually and whether other clubs can work [together] to fix that issue.”

This model for building student involvement is ambitious in scope, and could produce positive results for the campus body if implemented correctly. While the position of ASI president comes with more than its fair share of obstacles, newly elected Vice President for Administration David Garcia believes that Zitser has the leadership skills necessary to achieve their goals.

“David has a strategic leadership style, since he’s always thinking of how to do the best job and create strategic initiatives to improve workflow,” Garcia said. “In addition, [he exhibits] democratic leadership because he listens to everyone’s opinions and concerns.”

Garcia and Zitser previously worked together as NSS college representatives, and Garcia is excited to continue working with him on a higher level.

“I believe we accomplish important things for students in Cal State LA as representatives of the College of NSS,” Garcia continued. “I’ll be working with David to improve, support, and provide the best initiatives, resources, and programs for the students in Cal State LA. “

Cal State has a myriad of ways students can get involved campus Marcela Valdivia Staff Reporter With the start of school just around the corner, it is important to be aware of the opportunities on campus to become more involved at Cal State LA. There is an abundance of activities and organizations to choose from.

The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) is the heart of campus involvement at Cal State LA. CSI offers students the opportunity to network, attend discussions, be a part of interactive programs, develop leadership skills and so much more. “Getting involved starts with being able to explore one’s interests and matching them to what’s available to help those interests turn into action or participation,” said Frangelo Ayran, Assistant Director of Student Development for the Center of Student Involvement.

The resources provided

by CSI through campus activities aim to enrich the college experience of students.

The Center for Student Involvement is located on the third floor of the UniversityStudent Union.

“I would definitely recommend students to start by exploring the various involvement opportunities available on campus (and there are a lot),” said Ayran.

“Involvement also allows for students to develop their knowledge and skill sets around: leadership, communication, problemsolving, group development and management, budgeting and finance, presentation and public speaking, and much more.”

The Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) is governed by the ASI Board of Directors, which oversees some programs and services at Cal State LA. ASI is the student voice on campus that addresses concerns and makes important decisions. Students can become involved in ASI as part of the Board of Directors as college representatives, justices, commissioners, or academic senators. For more information the ASI office is located on the second floor of the University-Student Union.

The Cross Cultural Center (CCC) is home to the Asian Pacific Islander Student Resource Center, Chicana/o Latina/o Student Resource Center, Pan African Student Resource Center, and Gender & Sexuality Resource Center.

These centers are designed to embrace the diversity on campus through programs and services. The CCC offers study space and a place to relax . The Cross Cultural Centers are located in the second floor of the University-Student Union.

“Being involved encourages and advances one’s

The Greek Life at Cal State LA compromises over twenty organizations and governing councils. The priority of all fraternities and sororities is to promote academic success among students to achieve their goals. Being a part of a brotherhood and sisterhood allows Greek Life to become a member of the community, develop leadership, and increase network opportunities. To learn more about Greek Life, visit the Center for Student Involvement or contact the Fraternity and Sororities Life Coordinator Michael Maksymowski at mmaksym@ calstatela.edu.

“I would also encourage students to take risks and try something new or even something they never saw themselves doing before.

“By being involved, students can meet people and make friends with those who have similar interests which leads to greater self-satisfaction and feelings of purpose,” said Ayran.

The Educational Participation in Communities (EPIC) is a place for volunteers to help in the community throughout the Los Angeles area. Volunteers serve the public good by becoming responsible individuals and developing leadership skills.

Some of EPIC programs include: A Toy and Food Drive, America Reads and America Counts programs, and the Summer Youth Employment Program.

The University Times is a student-run weekly news publication that reaches students, staff, and faculty through newsstands, an online website, and social media platforms. The University Times accepts submission articles from contributors for the weekly publication.

Also, the University Times seeks interns who want to take a role in positions such as, editorial, advertising, business, production, social media, writing, and much more for the newspaper. For more information, visit the

College is a great time to explore one’s interests and passions while connecting it to one’s future career. You’d be surprised as to what you’ll learn about yourself when you try new activities, volunteer off campus, meet people who are different from you, attend events and workshops, and

develop new skill sets,” said Ayran.

All these campus involvement opportunities serve students as a resume builder. These programs and organizations are all geared to help students grow by developing skills.

A review of a Netflix show often judged by its title alone

May 30, 2017

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

'Dear White People' subscription cancellation as a way to boycott the show. One twitter user, @Brandongroeny, sparked a major reaction when he tweeted, “Can you imagine the outrage if there was a show called ‘Dear Black People?’ Cities would burn. This anti-white rhetoric needs to stop.” His tweet was matched with hundreds of responses that started the hashtag #DearBlackPeople from people of color.

Javonne Crumby Contributor The new Netflix series “Dear White People”, based on Justin Simien’s 2014 movie by the same name, satirically tackles the microaggressions of White people and what it is like being a Black face in a White space. The show also tackles a myriad of issues in the Black community like the stigma of interracial dating, assimilation, respectability politics, cultural appropriation, the use of the “n-word” by White people, and in police encounters.

Each episode is designed to make the viewer think more critically about whether or not we are living in a “post-racial” society. “Dear White People” takes a critical look at the life of Black students attending Winchester University, a PWI, or predominately white institution.

The movie, was told from the main character Sam’s narrative based on her campus radio talk show “Dear White People.” The series is told from the viewpoint of all of the characters in an episodic format. This gives the audience a closer look at each characters life and delves deeper than the movie.

The series picks up with

Sam after a Blackface party was thrown by white students.

While she is rallying other black students about the racist party, she is exposed of her closeted relationship with Gabe, who is white. Lionel, a nerdy and introverted journalist is coming to grips with his sexuality and where he fits in the Black community.

Troy, whose father is the dean of the university, is internally struggling with staying the “golden boy” and keeping up his perfect image. Coco deals with trying to assimilate to white people and rid herself of being associated with stereotypes. Reggie, a very confident and smart student is given a harsh reality check

after an encounter with campus police escalates.

While the show has received a 100 percent critic’s rating on the website Rotten Tomatoes, the reaction from the viewers is not as unanimous. People were ready to denounce the show before it was even released.

Back in February when it was announced that “Dear White People” was being turned into a series, many white people were turned off by the title alone.

Many took to social media to label the show as using “reverse racism.” Some even tweeted their confirmation e-mails from Netflix of their

One tweet read “Dear Black People I’m sorry for undermining your experiences with my racial privilege.”

Another read: “Dear Black People I’m sorry for our history of oppression and genocide.” Another twitter user @JaleelSpeaqs tweeted “Every show that portrays black ppl in the same racist stereotypical degrading roles we’ve had since the 1800’s is a ‘Dear Black People.’

That tweet was favorited and retweeted by over 200 users.

I got reactions from a few people who have watched the series.

Cal State LA alum, Johnny Cotto-Macias said of the show, “As a Mexican American I totally understand the struggle and the chaotic/racist world we live in. The Latino community in this country is of great importance to me! However, I don't know what it's like to be Black in America therefore I'm so happy they made this show!”

Undergraduate Jose Trinidad

Senior, Castaneda

III says “I like it. I was screaming [laughing] the entire time. The story, the really nuanced jokes and poignant social commentary, the power relations, the multiple perspectives, the unapologetic Blackness, and the relationships.”

These reactions not only show appreciation for the show but understanding of the shows purpose. It creates an opportunity for honest discussions about race (and racism) in America.

So just what does “Dear White People” creator and director Justin Simien think about the controversy? He says, “The point of the show is to bring to light a lot of things that were once kept in secret, and unfortunately, one of those things is the lives of Black people — like the actual human, intersecting lives of Black people. But another one of those things is the depth and pervasiveness of racism in the country… I think it’s a meta thing to not only have a show that’s about all these subjects but also in real time is sort of like proving its point. So I actually think it’s cool.”

Clearly Simien is not bothered by the backlash from people who won’t give the show a chance or can’t read between the lines. In fact, it’s the ignorance of these people who prove the need for this show’s existence. “Dear White People” is streaming now on Netflix.

Universal Upgrade Universal welcomes moviegoers to a multimillion dollar cinema upgrade

set the new standard for the moviegoers experience.

J. Aaron Delgado Photo Editor As we progress into the age of modern technology many things have changed, including the way we watch movies at the theater. Recently Universal Cinema at Universal CityWalk underwent a multimillion dollar upgrade to enhance and

Whether it is your first time visiting the Universal Cinema or you are a frequent visitor, all guests will be stunned by the aesthetic renovations that the theater has undergone. The more notable transformations are the ambient lighting and seating areas that feature film memorabilia and the use of set inspired lighting lamps. These additions set the mood for watching movies on the big screen.

The new AMC Marketplace has a new experience for

The University Club

purchasing concessions with a whole new area dedicated to a large variety of food items and it is controlled by the user. The addition of the Marketplace has made it simple to order and pick up snacks in a speedy manner as compared to the traditional concept of waiting in lines to pick up concessions.

One of the many upgrades the theater underwent was the replacement of the standard seats that many movie theaters currently have, with spacious reclining seats. The idea of reclining seats only adds enjoyment to experience, making it as if one was watching the film at in the comfort of their own home.

The seats feel like the most comfortable seat one can sit on with the reclining being adjusted from a casual leg lift, to a point where it almost feels like one is lying comfortably.

on their back.

Jonathon Gonzalez, a frequent movie goer, says the experience with reclining seats have set his standard for movie going. “It [the reclining seats] not only feels like I’m watching the movie in the comfort of my home but the quality of experience with the laser projector only immerses me more with what is happening on screen,” Gonzales said “the experience has definitely set the bar up high for movie going.”

Seating is not the only part of the multimillion dollar upgrade as Christie RGB laser projection adds to the experience of the film by illuminating every crisp detail to make the picture appear much more vibrant and clear.

The upgraded sound system only compliments the comfort

and high quality picture with the Dolby Atmos immersive surround sound system.

“It’s as if I was in the scene of the movie I was watching,” Gonzalez said “The character’s voices sounded as if I was there and the sound effects sounded very natural.”

The Director’s Lounge is a luxurious bar that offers many drinks in the movie theater while keeping it classy. The lounge is perfect for having a drink prior to showtime or after the movie has ended before leaving the theater to enjoy the rest of Universal CityWalk.

Taking a visit to the Universal Cinema is perfect for watching any movie and will definitely set the standard for how anyone will watch movies in the theater.

OPINION/SPORTS

Who to follow The best social media accounts for Cal State LA students to follow Carlos Gomez Web Editor As new students arrive on campus they will be filled with doubts and questions. Where should I go first? What time does the food court close?

Where is the financial aid office? In order to facilitate them there are several groups on social media that new students should follow.

One of the most popular groups on campus is the CSULA Book Exchange. This Facebook group is dedicated to helping students buy and sell their used books to other students save the buyer's some money. Most of the books tend to be in good condition and fairly priced compared to the price displayed at the university bookstore. While the group is focused on books, it tends to become a marketplace for other items as well as a forum to express student’s opinions of a recent happening on campus. Items sold in this group range from laptops to clothing.

J. Aaron Delgado

Cal State LA's official Twitter

Christian Calvo, a civil engineering student, believes that this group will eventually die out. “It allows students to easily get books at a cheaper price,” he said. “But I think it’s been in a decline because a lot of students, including myself, simply rent books they need online.”

Another Facebook group that can be extremely helpful for incoming freshman is the CSULA FAQ’s. This group is filled more with simple

questions such as what happens if you take a leave of absence and where certain offices are located. Apart from this, it can also be a hub to connect to other students on campus and find common interests. CSULA FAQ’s also tends to have items for sale, but not in an overwhelming matter like the CSULA Book Exchange Jessi Perez, a second year Psychology major mentions that she does not follow this

group. “Whenever I have a question, I usually turn to my friends or the Book Exchange for answers. It’s more active, gives me more recent information, and is more useful to me as a student.”

Since students tend to work a lot on their laptops, phones, and tablets, following ITS (Information Technology Services) on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter is a must. They are dedicated to helping the campus community

with all their technological needs, be it from connecting to the Wi-Fi or being locked out of the My Cal State LA portal.

ITS also sends out updates regarding the Annex Link Lab and the Union Link Lab. In case you can’t find them on social media, or simply prefer an in-person visit, the ITS Help Desk is located in the Palmer Wing of the Library.

Since there are more students enrolled at the University than there are available parking spots, finding parking on campus can be a real chore. If you opt for traveling to and from campus via public transportation, students should follow the Parking and Transportation Services on Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. Parking and Transportation updates students on line delays, and options to commute to campus.

These groups will help students, new and old, facilitate their stay here on campus, and provide them with the information they need. There are many other groups to follow but these are the trendy and resourceful groups on campus. Be sure to hit that like and follow button, and you will be set to tackle many obstacles in your university career here at Cal State LA.

Cavaliers and Warriors face off for NBA Finals Mike Nelson Contributor On Thursday June 1, two bitter rivals will start a seven-game series for a third consecutive season in the NBA Finals. With LeBron James on the Cleveland side, this will be

his seventh straight NBA finals appearance. It is objectively an incredible feat, and a record that most likely will never be broken.

The last time LeBron wasn’t paying in the NBA finals was in 2010, when the Los Angeles Lakers won their last championship, defeating the Boston Celtics in a very memorable seven game series.

But enough about LeBron James, let’s preview this great Finals matchup.

Last season when the Cavaliers and Warriors met in the NBA finals, the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the series and proceeded to lose the next 3 games, including Games 5 and 7 with home court advantage.

Over the summer, the Warriors signed Kevin Durant which has definitely made the team even more dominant, having gone 12-0 in these playoffs.

The Warriors are now only the third team in NBA history to go undefeated in the first 3 rounds of the playoffs.

This Finals matchup has been yearned by the NBA and its fans all season long. Last year’s Game 7 was watched by close to 28 Million people according to the Nielsen ratings. Many people are excited to see Kevin Durant in his first Playoff Finals with the Golden State Warriors and have hope that he can be the key in this series.

The Golden State Warriors are going to have trouble once again guarding LeBron James

Djanimal

and Kyrie Irving. Coming off the bench for the Cavaliers will be Kyle Korver and Deron Williams, both midseason acquisitions for this team.

Both of these players are very streaky shooters and make this Cleveland bench even more dangerous than it already is.

During finals last year, the bench made a big difference in that Game 7 victory.

Another factor of this series will be the rebound battle.

The Warriors get most of their rebounding from Draymond Green, while the Cavaliers have Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love and LeBron James who are all very good rebounders.

Kevin Durant will have to be

at the top of his game in this entire series for the Warriors to have a chance at this championship.

Also, if Kevin Love gets hot, I think the Warriors may be in trouble, especially if Klay Thompson on the Warrior doesn’t start playing better, his playoffs have been dismal.

Thompson has been shooting 38 percent from the field, and only averaging 11 to 14 points a game.

My theory is that the Cavaliers take this series in seven games, but it should be one heck of a series and undoubtedly an unforgettable one.
