A week after hurricane Harvey made landfall, Houston and surrounding communities remain crippled. Malerie Wilkins Staff Reporter
On Aug. 25, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the southern coast of Texas. Classified as a Category 4 Hurricane, Harvey wreaked havoc throughout Texas, specifically in the Houston area. Cities such as Beaumont, Corpus Christi, and Port Arthur were among the heaviest hit, experiencing the majority of the damaging wind and rain. At the time of publication, the death toll stands at 45. The disaster itself has forced gas suppliers and water pumps to temporarily shutdown. As the hurricane damaged natural gas lines and forced suppliers to cut operations, threats such as chemical explosions were tracked by Harris County Sheriff 's Office.

Carlos Gomez Managing Editor - Web On Aug. 22, the Cal State LA community received information about the passing of the former Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Herman D. Lujan. Lujan died in Vallejo, California. He was 81. After earning his Ph.D in Political Science at the University of Idaho, Lujan came to Cal State LA in 2001. He brought with him ideas on how to diversify the learning opportunities for students at the University. In an article in Cal State LA Today from 2001, Dr. Lujan addressed the idea of technology in academic innovation: “We are entering an age of technology and technologyassisted learning is becoming increasingly important. It should be included in how we provide access and excellence
In an email sent to each students and faculty on campus, President William Covino admired Lujan's work during his period at the school:

“Herm came to Cal State LA in 2001 and brought a wealth of experience.

Herm was a leading voice for higher education. I was pleased to serve on the CSU Provost’s Council with Herm, where he was a valued mentor for many of us.” Dr. Lujan’s service will be in Peleau, Hawaii, where he was born, and is tentatively scheduled for the end of the year. Cal State LA offers its condolences to Dr. Lujan’s family.
An Evening With Jaime Camil ‘Jane the Virgin’ star offers Cal State LA students career advice. Odeniyi Omolola Contributing Writer Jaime Camil is a Mexican theatre professional who was
invited to campus to work with students in the Theatre Arts department. The evening was organized and hosted by Professor Stephen Rothman. During the event, Camil focused primarily on attitude, talent, skills, hard work, self-development and most importantly, self-confidence. It
was made clear that the acting and theatrical industry comes with a lot of rejection. He also reflected on his experiences from auditioning which was mostly guided by persistence. This event was filled with laughter as his expressions made the evening quite comical. In talking about his personal life, Camil mentioned that he is self-made and encouraged every young person to be responsible in their affairs, while at the same time maintaining gratitude in every opportunity that is offered. In respect to directing, he mentioned that it’s completely alright to point out what’s wrong on set as long as it’s done in a polite manner. Rather than being critical, providing support and encouragement allows an individual to strive in future endeavors. “How important is social media in this field?” asked a student. “Social media is generally unfair to the talent one may have because projects differ, which brings multiple levels of popularity. Due to the complexity of the industry, one mustn’t just go by the ‘rule book’, but know how to go around certain situations in order to avoid being a ‘yesman,’ said Camil.

Another student asked, asking “What advice do you have for newly hired individuals in the industry?” “To the newbies: figure out preferences in terms of specialty, such as acting and comedy, because that way a level of confidence is maintained. Find networks
and subscribe to mailing lists offering relatable opportunities but most importantly, practice consistent humility and discipline,” responded Camil. Throughout the engagement, students acknowledged the benefits of hearing Camil speak.

ANTIFA and Alt-Right Clash, Again Bay area protest turns violent leaving dozens injured. J. Aaron Delgado Managing Editor - Print Danny Robles Deputy Copy Editor A “Rally Against Hate” took place on Sunday, Aug. 27 in Berkeley, CA to protest a planned anti-Marxist gathering in the Bay Area. Despite the right-wing gathering being cancelled, thousands still came together from the left, right, and those that strictly support Trump. The protest became violent when several rightwing protesters and Trump supporters were pursued by groups chanting, “Nazis go home!” Fights broke out between protesters at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center. Video taken at the scene helped identify the perpetrator as an anti-fascist protester, who beat an alt-right protester. The violence prompted a large police presence in Berkeley. Protesters were arrested on multiple charges including: carrying banned items such

as clubs, which could serve as a weapon, and violating regulations involving covered faces. KRON-TV, a local San Francisco news station, reported that the police arrested 13 people on charges that extended from assault with a lethal weapon, to violations of city code. According to CNN, police stated that one officer was injured during an
arrest and others were hit with paint. Paramedics treated six people, two of which were hospitalized. Berkeley Mayor, Jesse Arreguín, expressed his views on the events that happened that Sunday on social media. “I applaud the more than 7,000 people who came out today to peacefully oppose bigotry, hatred and racism
that we saw on display in Charlottesville,” Arreguín said on Facebook; “However, the violence that a small group of protesters engaged in against residents and the police, including throwing smoke bombs, is unacceptable.

Trump promised to immediately repeal the program while campaigning in 2016, but during an interview with ABC earlier this year, he changed his tune and claimed recipients should not be worried. Since his interview with ABC, multiple cases of DACA recipients being held by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) have been reported.
might just not care. Adela Tubon, who works at the Cross Cultural Centers (CCC), says she has never seen the President around the CCC. President Covino’s connection to Cal State LA students is vague to many, and school wide emails seem to only increase tensions.
On Thursday Aug. 31, Cal State LA students rallied in support of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. The rally was organized by a community of undocumented students and allies, including Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MECHA) and Students United to Reach Goals in Education (SURGE). Students and professors trickled in despite the ninety-eight degree weather to lend their support for the cause. DACA, an Obama-era program signed into law in 2012, provides undocumented children with a work permit and safety from deportation. The future of the program has been in question since President Trump took office January.
members in black violently attacking conservative protesters, Arreguín requested University of California (UC) Berkeley to cancel plans to host conservative provocateur, Milo Yiannopoulos, during “Berkeley Free Speech Week” this month. The event is hosted by the Berkeley Patriot, a conservative campus newspaper. UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof responded by saying: “We have neither the legal right nor ability to interfere with or cancel [students groups’] invitations based on the perspectives and beliefs of the speakers.” The situation caught the attention of President Trump, who addressed the probability of stopping funds for the school because it is a public university. “If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view — NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” tweeted Trump. Arreguín supports the first amendment, telling the San Francisco Chronicle: “I obviously believe in freedom of speech, but there is a line between freedom of speech and then posing a risk to public safety.”
At the end of the rally, multiple students called for a roundtable discussion with the President in order to sort differences and build a safer campus community. “Email me and we’ll talk” said Covino. Erron Franklin
DACA protesters rally at The administration building
President Covino issued a statement on Wednesday through a campus wide email regarding the issue: “Cal State LA firmly believes, unequivocally, in the rights of DACA students to realize the dream of pursuing a university education. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to educating, supporting and protecting our students—regardless of their immigration status.” Despite the sentiment, activists on campus did not believe in Covino’s sincerity. During the rally, student organizer Zamaria called his words empty, asking why no real action has taken place. As
Covino arrived, activists made it known that they were the ones running the show. “You’re going to listen; you owe us at least that,” said Zamaria. The energy of the rally shifted from defiance in the face of adversity to justifiable anger. Students began to make demands, first for the abolishment of police around campus. “We are not. We are going to have police here,” said Covino. The next demand was to claim Cal State LA as
a sanctuary campus. This was met with, “We’re doing everything we can,” from the president. Time and again students’ questions about armed police on campus were met with direct replies from the President.
The impact and future of DACA recipients was discussed as a town hall meeting. On the panel was California Congressmen Jimmy Gomez, whose father was an undocumented worker in the U.S.
“Can we talk about the DACA issue, is that not why we’re here?” said Covino.
His message to students was clear and concise: “the fight for justice never ends, ever! Even when we achieve and protect DACA, there is still a fight for comprehensive immigration reform.”
President Covino’s lack of presence on campus was an issue raised by students. Beyond the rally, there’s uncertainty amongst some students that the President
If Trump decides to end the program 800,000 undocumented youth would be at risk for deportation, including some Cal State LA students.

Is Google Recording Our Conversations? Questions emerge about information shared with Google’s virtual assistant. Richard Molina Contributing Writer Google’s virtual personal assistant has been found to occasionally record conversations and audio without alerting the user.
Google Assistant works much in the same way as Apple’s Siri does, but this unsolicited feature was discovered particularly on Android devices. The virtual assistant is activated by saying the phrase “OK Google” to the phone, which then activates the device’s microphones to listen for and process vocal commands.

Escaping the Pressures of the “Model Minority Myth” Students share their stories about the pressures of being Asian Americans. Marcela Valdivia Staff Reporter On Tuesday, Aug. 9th, the Asian Pacific Islander Student Resource Center held “Sharing Our Stories: Navigating Conflicting Pressures” at the Cross Cultural Centers. The event allowed a group of students to share experiences regarding their conflicting expectations. To help accomplish the event’s goals, the Asian Pacific Islander Center partnered with the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Stephanie Van, Coordinator for the center, reached out to have conversations with students from different family backgrounds and cultures, as well as to describe the concept of the “model minority myth”. She contacted Jennifer Reyes, counselor at the Student Health Center and licensed clinical social worker. “The model minority myth is the idea that there is an expectation that Asian Americans are to be successful and are supposed to act a certain way when they are in college or a work setting,” said Reyes.

stereotypes of how Asian Americans are expected to be more intelligent, as well as more tech savvy compared to other ethnic groups. Students then shared their experiences, explaining that their peers tend to believe that they must obtain straight A’s or face disgracing their family. The discussion’s goal was to analyze and discuss the common pressures Asian Americans encounter as a result of expectations that are placed upon them. “I remember when I was in middle school, if I got lower than an A, I would forge my mom’s signature,” said Jennifer
Reyes. “It was the idea that it was not safe telling my mom I was struggling in math.” “The event gave me more perspective and understanding of how people are also affected by being model minorities and the pressure that everyone else is facing,” said Jessica Pinlac, a Cal State LA biology major. For students who require counseling and psychological services, the center holds workshops of up to ten students, Monday through Thursday at 3:15 p.m.
The Asian Pacific Islander Student Resource Center’s next event is “Not Your Model Minority! Mental Health” on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. in the Alhambra room. “I think this is a great event because it helps create a dialog that we have always been wanting to have. Specifically, it helps communicate how the minority model myth affects Asian Americans, but we never really had that space to really talk about it,” said Andrea Wasawas, nutritional science major.

On Aug. 23, 2017, in the Asian Pacific Islander (API) room on the 2nd floor of the Cross Cultural Centers (CCC), the Vietnamese Coffee Hour was held to
celebrate and educate students on the culture’s method of coffee production.
Vietnamese coffee traditionally emphasizes relaxing and hanging out around street corners. It’s uniquely made by a process called “single filters” whereby one starts off with pouring condensed milk into a cup. Next, individuals place the filters over the cup and grind the coffee through the filters (and into the cup). Finally, individuals pour hot water into the filters and allow the coffee to sit until it’s completely drained.

HISTORIA
"¿Dónde está Santiago Maldonado?" La desaparición de un joven genera agitación en Argentina. Por Eduardo Ramos Argentina continüa a más de un mes preguntándose por el paradero de Santiago Maldonado, un artesano y tatuador nacido en la ciudad de Veinticinco de Mayo, provincia de Buenos Aires, que al parecer desapareció durante la represión de una protesta de indígenas mapuche en el sur del país. El primero de agosto de 2017, siendo aún de noche, la Gendarmería Nacional entró por la fuerza en el territorio mapuche Pu Lof en ResistenciaCushamen. Los agentes reprimieron a los habitantes, según los denunciantes, mientras algunos de los que se encontraban en el campamento huyeron hacia río Chubut y hacia un bosque cercano al campamento. “Tras los disparos con balas 9 mm y anti-tumulto de la Gendarmería nos dispersamos corriendo y cruzamos el río. Ya del otro lado, escuché los gritos de Santiago y vi cómo los gendarmes lo rodeaban y pegaban”, aseguró un testigo. Los antecedentes a esta desaparición están relacionados con el reclamo por parte de los grupos indígenas mapuche contra las propiedades rurales del Grupo Benetton. Se sabe que Benetton es propietaria de alrededor de 900,000 hectáreas en todo
el país, de las cuales un tercio están ubicadas en Chubut. Este grupo opera en la región bajo el nombre de “Compañía de Tierras Sud Argentina SA” desde comienzos de la década de 1990. En el 2006 la empresa reconoció parcialmente los derechos constitucionales del pueblo mapuche y ofreció entregar a la provincia de Chubut 7,500 hectáreas pero luego de realizar estudios técnicos sobre la propuesta, se concluyó que se trataba de tierras improductivas, inadecuadas para atender el reclamo mapuche. El 13 de mayo de 2015 una comunidad mapuche, perteneciente al Movimiento Mapuche Autónomo del Puel Mapu (MAP), instaló un Lof (Comunidad) de resistencia dentro de la estancia Leleque. El 28 de junio de 2017 fue detenido el líder mapuche Facundo Jones Huala, generando una sucesión de protestas y marchas en reclamo de su libertad. Entre las más recientes la del 31 de julio de 2017 donde organizaciones mapuche y de derechos humanos realizaron un corte de calle frente al Juzgado Federal de Bariloche para pedir la liberación de su lider. En la madrugada del día siguiente se produciría el allanamiento del Pu Lof de Cushamen y la desaparición de Santiago Maldonado. La familia de Maldonado afirma que el joven "nunca tuvo militancia política. Porque descree de la política. Él tiene compromiso social." y que no es miembro del grupo conocido como Resistencia Ancestral Mapuche (RAM).

Descubren mosaico antiguo durante excavaciones en Jerusalém Autoridades de antigüedades de Israel confirmaron que pertenece al siglo VI. Por Lissette Flores Los arqueólogos revelaron a la prensa la semana pasada que el mosaico de más de 1,500 años de antigüedad fue encontrado durante las excavaciones en la Puerta de Damasco, en Jerusalén. Éstos descubrieron que contiene una inscripción en la que menciona al emperador bizantino Flavio Justiniano, que vivió en los años 482-565 d. C. y al clérigo de Jerusalém de alto rango, Constantino. La pieza data de los años 550-551 d. C., tiene una forma rectangular de 1,14 metros de longitud y contiene el mensaje “En tiempos de nuestro más piadoso emperador Flavio Justiniano, también estableció y levantó todo este edificio Constantino, el sacerdote y abad que más ama a Dios, en la decimocuarta indicción”. La palabra indicción, se refiere al método de contar años en el calendario bizantino y su uso era con ocasión de convocar una junta para posiblemente exigir tributos.
Los investigadores creen que el mosaico era parte de un edificio ubicado cerca de la Puerta de Damasco. El edificio fue construido en el siglo VI bajo el imperio Bizantino y tenía la función de “hotel para los peregrinos” que visitaban el templo, dijo la experta en inscripciones griegas, la Dra. Leah Di Segni. También dice que la Puerta de Damasco sirvió durante cientos de años como principal entrada al norte de Jerusalém.
Bajo el imperio de Justiniano se construyeron iglesias y monasterios en varias partes de la región. En 543 d. C, se construyó la iglesia de la Asunción de la Santísima Virgen y era uno de los templos más grandes de la ciudad de Jerusalém. Según Segni, anteriormente se había encontrado una reliquia con una inscripción muy similar a ésta, cerca de la misma iglesia. El mosaico se expuso en el museo Rockefeller en Jerusalém 23 de agosto, 2017.

On Tuesday, Sept. 5 (10p.m. on FX), “American Horror Story” will forge ahead as one of the first shows to hit home televisions. The show’s seventh season is rumored to address the 2016 election as a living nightmare. “It is a true American horror story,” said co-creator Ryan Murphy to the Hollywood Reporter, “The show begins election night, and then the national conversation, and both the euphoria and the fear.”

Mayweather claims victory over McGregor with perfect 50-0 record.

Michael Levitsky Contributing Writer Last week, fans of both boxing and UFC finally saw Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Conor McGregor battle it out in Las Vegas. From a marketing perspective, this was the most anticipated fight of the century and certainly unlike any we had ever seen. No boxing match in recent memory had as much build up as this mega fight. Maybe because a professional UFC fighter with no professional boxing experience, took on a world champion boxer with a 49-0 record returning from a 2-year hiatus from the sport. Several press conferences were held nationwide and in the U.K. leading up to the bout. These wildly entertaining press conferences included McGregor saying that Mayweather could not read;
