Khallifah Rosser Hurdling TO EXCELLENCE
A look at record breaking Golden Eagle Khallifah Rosser. Kenneth Cyprian Contributing Writer As unlikely as it now sounds, track and field wasn’t always Khallifah Rosser’s first love. While growing up basketball was his favorite sport. However, today, Rosser is a NCAA Division II National Champion and one of the fastest 400 meter hurdlers in the nation. Sports run deep in Rosser’s family; his father was a multisport athlete, his older brother ran the 400m hurdles at Humboldt State and his cousin had a stint in the NBA. Rosser turned his attention to track and field after failing to make the basketball team during his sophomore and junior year of high school. “I started running track to

NEWS Johnson Wins Presidency
“This is great news and it shows me that student voices do matter, that student votes do matter.” Jordan Hansen Contributing Writer The results are in: Nia Johnson is to be the next President of the Associated Students Incorporated (ASI). The election results were announced just before 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, signalling the end of a hardfought campaign between the two Presidential candidates: Nia Johnson and Medrik Minassian. Of the 1,141 votes cast by Cal State LA students for the President’s position, 841 votes were cast in favor of Nia–about 74 percent of the vote. This left her competitor with exactly 300 votes–roughly 26 percent of the total vote. The announcement was met with a round of applause from students and staff members who had gathered at the University-Student Union Plaza to hear the election outcome. “I haven’t felt this way since I found out that there wasn’t going to be a tuition fee increase,” said Nia as she took the podium on the plaza stage. “This is great news and it shows me that student voices do matter, that student votes do matter.” Speaking to the University Times after the event, Nia reiterated her elation at being selected as the next President of the ASI: “I am excited! This is an opportunity for me to make a difference and to really have an impact on Cal State LA, so I’d like to utilize every moment I have in this position.” Runner-up candidate, Medrik Minassian, also spoke to the University Times. Although disappointed, he was satisfied with the result and remained optimistic about his future: “I’m happy because I like
the way Nia ran the campaign. I’ve already congratulated her and reached out to see what we can do together. It’s all about the students working together; that’s the important part I think.” “I look forward to working with Medrik”, said Nia. “I know he’s going to be a great asset in the ASI and I know he’s going to help me with enhancing this campus.” Aside from the Presidential position, several other positions were also announced. Jennifer Martell, who ran uncontested, was elected as the next Secretary/Treasurer with 977 votes. Aaron Castaneda, who also ran uncontested, was re-elected as the Vice President for Finance with 980 votes. Jacquelyn Acosta received 788 votes to become the Vice President for Academic Governance, beating opponent Richard Shu who received 283 votes. Veronica GarciaMartinez ran uncontested and received exactly 1,000 votes to become the Vice President for External Affairs and Advancement. Finally, Jesus Mora received 565 votes to become the Vice President for Administration, narrowly beating Fritza Plasencia with 530 votes. This year’s election turnout was somewhat lackluster, with 1,175 total votes being submitted through the Golden Eagle Territory (GET) system on Wednesday, April 25 before polls closed at 7 p.m. This compared with 1,214 votes cast in the 2017-2018 election and 1,766 votes cast in the 2016-2017 election. Cal State LA currently has around 23,000 students enrolled in classes who are eligible to vote. Poor election turnout has been a concern for ASI, which has previously struggled to engage with students and make students aware of the importance of ASI. ASI is a non-profit student run organization that aims to provide a voice to Cal State LA students at the the University. This academic year, ASI had a total operating budget of over $1.4 million, which is entirely made up of a mandatory $54 fee paid by all Cal State LA students.

April 30, 2018
Los Angeles Has Officially Legalized Street Food for the First Time Ever. Melorie Cruz Contributing Writer The Los Angeles City Council has officially approved the legalization of
street vending with a vote of 11-4. Councilmembers Joe Buscaino, Curren Price Jr. and Jose Huizar have sixty days to create a sidewalk vending ordinance outlining exactly what street food legalization will look like in Los Angeles. According to Eater LA, various features still need to be sorted out. Specifically, the city must reach a settlement between street vendors and business owners about where and when they can operate together.
“This creates a fair system to allow 1000s of hardworking mostly immigrant, low-income workers come out of the shadows and feed their families.”

However, despite how long it will take for this to happen, this is the first time in the city’s history that street food is legalized. Councilmember Jose Huizar tweeted: “This creates a fair system to allow 1000s of hardworking mostly #immigrant, low-income workers come out of the

is relieved to know that street vending is now permitted: “I definitely think it’s a good thing for the city of LA to legalize street food because I can tell you firsthand how hard it can be for people like my parents that do street food, getting picked up by the city and throwing everything away. It’s honestly really heartbreaking because they work really hard to give us, their kids, everything we need”. Before street vending was officially legalized, seven female protesters from the LA Street Vendor Campaign were arrested in front of City Hall last month while protesting for the rights of street vending. A female street vendor who sells tamales described her experience selling food on the streets: “I’ve gotten my stuff taken away a couple of times and it saddens me because every day I wake up early to make my tamales so I can go out and sell them in the streets to make my own money, to pay the rent and provide for my kids without having to depend on the government system. So, when the city takes away my merchandise, it’s painful to watch how all my hard work is being taken away.”

Caravana de inmigrantes planea llegar a Estados Unidos NOTICIAS DE MÉXICO
Terrible final para tres estudiantes de cine en México
de Tonalá, un poblado cerca de Guadalajara, de hacer la filmación para la tarea de la escuela. Venían junto con otros tres compañeros pero los hombres armados les ordenaron directamente a ellos tres que subieran a sus vehículos, y se los llevaron a la fuerza. Después de un mes de desaparecidos, sus restos fueron encontrados en una finca, donde se presume los trasladaron después de muertos para disolverlos en ácido, e intentar desaparecer toda posible evidencia.

Los confundieron con miembro de un cártel de la droga Por Claudia Landeros Una vez más se repite la terrible historia de estudiantes secuestrados y asesinados en México. En esta ocasión fueron tres jóvenes estudiantes de cine de Guadalajara, Jalisco quienes fueron víctimas del crimen organizado. Desaparecieron hace un mes y este lunes, 23 de abril, encontraron sus cuerpos disueltos en ácido sulfúrico. Fueron secuestrados, torturados y asesinados por el cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación. Esto pasó mientras hacían una filmación para un proyecto escolar de la Universidad de Medios Audiovisuales CAAV. Los tres jóvenes eran menores de 25 años y fueron identificados como, Salomón Aceves Gastélum, de 25 años, de Mexicali, Baja California, Jesús Daniel Díaz, de 20 años de Los Cabos, Baja California Sur y Marco Ávalos, de 20 años de Tepic, Nayarit. Un grupo de seis hombres, armados y disfrazados de agentes de la Fiscalía los secuestró el 19 de marzo. Los jóvenes regresaban
Las autoridades han confirmado que los jóvenes no tenían ningún vínculo con el crimen organizado. Su único error fue rodar por dos días en una propiedad que antes había servido como una casa de resguardo de un grupo criminal. Al parecer el cártel Nueva Generación creyó que los estudiantes eran parte de otro cártel enemigo, Nueva Plaza. Así lo confirmaron dos de los secuestradores que han sido detenidos ya por las autoridades de Jalisco. Lamentablemente, la pelea por las plazas entre cárteles de la droga se ha incrementado muchísimo más desde la captura del Chapo Guzmán. En Jalisco particularmente, se ha agudizado mucho la violencia. Por un lado en un estado que atrae a muchos jóvenes estudiantes por la gran oferta educativa que tiene a nivel superior, pero por otro lado, el territorio también resulta atractivo para el crimen organizado. Desde su desaparición se movilizó una campaña de estudiantes a lo largo del país, pero principalmente en Jalisco, para pedir por su regreso. Hubo marchas continuas, y un gran movimiento en las redes sociales exigiendo que regresaran con vida. Tristemente no fue así. Este asesinato volvió a abrir la herida del pueblo mexicano. Aún no se ha resuelto el caso Ayotzinapa y se siguen sumando más y más muertes de jóvenes estudiantes. Lamentablemente no son casos aislados. Todos los días hay secuestros y asesinatos sin resolver, incluso, muchos sin reportar.

Trump no les permitirá pisar tierra estadounidense Por Yeraldín Estrada Tras meses de viaje, los inmigrantes centroamericanos han llegado a la ciudad de Tijuana, Baja California. Estas personas, en su mayoría, hondureños pretenden llegar en grupo al consulado americano para pedir asilo. La caravana inicialmente compuesta por más de 1,000 miembros, entre ellos mujeres y niños, se ha reducido ya que muchos de ellos han decidido tratar de llegar a Estados Unidos por otros medios. Los que mantienen la esperanza de una respuesta alentadora por parte del gobierno norteamericano llegarán este fin de semana ante las autoridades pidiendo ayuda. Las cosas no les serán nada fácil ya que el gobierno del presidente Donald Trump no tiene la intención de apoyarlos. El representante de la Secretaria de Seguridad Nacional, Kirstjen M. Nielsen ha dicho que las autoridades de inmigración serán muy estrictas y que el gobierno se está preparando para mandar

Primer debate en la elección presidencial de México Le llamaron "el debate crucial" Por Eduardo Ramos El pasado domingo, 22 de abril, se realizó el primero de tres encuentros entre los candidatos a la presidencia mexicana, López Obrador, Ricardo Anaya y José Antonio Meade de las coaliciones Por México al Frente y Todos por México, respectivamente. El debate además contó con los candidatos independientes Margarita Zavala y Jaime Rodríguez, alias "El Bronco". "El debate crucial", fue así nombrado debido a que los lectores podrían elegir al nuevo presidente basados en su resultado. Los expertos opinan que López Obrador fue el más atacado de los candidatos. Algunas de las críticas es su contra fueron acerca de la oferta de conceder amnistía a quienes participan en la guerra contra los cárteles del narcotráfico. Además, le cuestionaron su estrategia de aliarse con personajes de dudosa reputación y de cómo ha sobrevivido en los últimos años sin empleo. Sin embrago, López Obrador evitó los ataques y solo aclaró puntos relacionados con la seguridad. Amnistía "no significa impunidad" indicó. Luego

aseguró que si gana la contienda contratará especialistas para la estrategia de seguridad durante su gobierno. Algunas de las propuestas más controversiales en las redes sociales fue la de “El Bronco” para combatir la inseguridad. "Tenemos que mocharle la mano al que robe, así de simple", sugirió. "Eso no es malo, países que han salido de la corrupción así lo han hecho". La moderadora, incrédula y confusa de tal propuesta, tuvo que preguntar: "¿Habla literalmente?" a lo que sin titubeos Rodríguez respondió "Es literal. El que robe hay que mocharle la mano, voy a presentar una iniciativa para que los diputados lo aprueben" Según los expertos, ellos consideraron que el ganador del primer debate fue
Ricardo Anaya por ser el más contundente y el más claro. De Andrés Manuel López Obrador se dijo que se mantuvo con una estrategia de no pelear, lo cual no se sabe si fue algo positivo o negativo. Por otro lado, José Antonio Meade fue señalado como “tibio”, mientras que “El Bronco” como alguien que cumplió con su papel de darse a conocer. Entre los perdedores, los expertos apuntaron a Margarita Zavala, aunque algunos destacaron su propuesta, como mujer candidata, para poder cambiar la política, la cual no ha funcionado por los hombres. Los próximos dos debates se realizarán el 20 de mayo, en Tijuana, Baja California, a las 20:00 hrs. y el martes 12 de junio, en Mérida, Yucatán, a las 21:00 hrs.

“I’m happy that the tuition is not going up this year because I am an out of state student. My tuition is already high as it is so when it keeps raising every single year, it’s more loans that I have to take out and pay back. So by it not raising, at least it’s a little bit more money I’m saving."

New online database reveals 150 years of Mexican newspapers. Adriana Sanchez Contributing Writer In a political climate where people of Mexican descent are under attack, there has been a movement to reveal the voices that the United States has long suppressed. After centuries of English-speaking Anglo Americans dominating mass media outlets, students have begun promoting cultural recognition by gathering a massive collection of periodicals written by LatinAmerican journalists. The University of Arizona has developed the first online database showcasing 150 years of Mexican and MexicanAmerican newspapers. The periodicals date back from the mid-1800s to the 1970s with publications from Tucson, El Paso, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sonora, Mexico. The works feature coverage from cultural periods such as the Mexican Revolution and the Chicano Movement.

to the news outlets would shine light to the prevalence of Latinos in American history. “From the centuries since Mexican-Americans became part of the United States by the virtue of being incorporated as result of the MexicanAmerican War,” said Professor Jorge Leal of the Department of Chicanx, Latinx Studies.
“Our history has been seen as a footnote or in the sidelines and these newspapers reminders that we have been an integral part of the history of the US. It is important to identify how long our presence in the US has been–not just as workers and people, but as intellectual producers.” The articles in the database
“Because these publications were written by Mexicans/ Mexican-Americans, they definitely have a different tone– different information that you would not find such as issues on police brutality or state violence on people of Mexican descent that mass media is notorious for omitting. They have articles that specifically deal with the ethnic Mexican experience throughout history and perspectives that you would not be able to find in typical newspaper records,” said Leal. For those interested in finding out more information about the importance of Latino journalism, the Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park is now highlighting the photos of the Chicano Rights Movement of 1967-1977 with an exhibition on the Los Angeles bilingual newspaper “La Raza”.
The Great Healthcare Conundrum Los Angeles Times reporter Noam Levey discusses healthcare dilemmas. John Montoya Contributing Writer On Tuesday, April 24, the Department of Political Science teamed up with the Department of Communication Studies to host “Health Policy and Politics in Washington.” Invited guest speaker, Noam Levey, National Healthcare Reporter of the Los Angeles Times, discussed the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The event followed with a Q&A discussion where faculty members and students asked Levey about the Healthcare problems in the U.S. “Health care is something that people worry about every day,” said Levey. “It is a complicated issue that does not have a concrete answer and has a lot of different ways to go about. Even each political party has a different way of looking at it.” Healthcare is an issue that has many layers; one that Republicans and Democrats tend not to see eye-to-eye. When asked “What are the issues facing Universal Coverage?”, Levey responded that uninsured citizens have limited political clout because not every American has this privilege.
“uninsured citizens have limited political clout because not every American has this privilege” In his research he has discovered that Americans do not just have one healthcare system; rather there are a total of eight or nine. With individuals choosing between each system, some tend to be left behind when reform occurs. “Every time medical reform happened, we left a certain group of people behind,” said Levey. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was implemented by former President Barack Obama, and required all Americans to have some form of Healthcare. The core features of the ACA provided an insurance reform to Medicaid to individuals whose income was below 138 percent of poverty. However, there were many issues that manifested from the ACA.
I believe the requirement that all must have insurance was the biggest issue for Obamacare,” said Levey. “People didn’t like being told that they had to buy medical insurance.” Levey explained his opinion on the ACA issues: “The answer is that Republicans did not know what they were doing. The republicans would say that no one will lose medical insurance, but then they started tweaking the roles of what benefits a specific individual will get.” Regardless, students felt that they took away important information from the event: "I Definitely got something out of the conference," said Alfred Reyes, senior Public Health major. "Talking about how politics play a big role in Healthcare. Like the ideologies of people and how that influences politicians, which
then translate how they conduct themselves and communicate with people.” Other students found the Q&A portion to be significant, but still had concerns: "I wanted to ask him if our healthcare, due to the changes that has gone through, with
copayments and ACA, if it has shifted into luxury commodity?" said Rene Sandoval, Senior, Public Health Major. The topic of Healthcare remains unresolved as Democrats and Republicans continue to work for a solution.

Ethan Russell: Rock and Roll’s Photographer The Luckman Gallery presents Ethan Russell, an exhibit on his rock and roll photography. Kyle Frizol Chief Copy Editor Last week, the Luckman Fine Arts Complex’s Gallery celebrated its opening reception of Ethan Russell, the acclaimed photographer who travelled with The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and even The Who. Work from throughout his career made up the subject of the exhibit, featuring connections between his stage show “The Best Seat in the House” and his professional career as a photographer. Russell’s exhibition features collaged collections of photos from each major period in his career. Specifically, audiences have the ability to peer into specific photo sessions with The Rolling Stones, such as when Mick Jagger asked Russell to follow them on tour to capture truly intimate moments of them backstage, in rehearsal and with their personal acquaintances. Russell’s ability to capture these rock stars in their natural environments, while also remaining untouched and unedited, provided a narrative of just how popular and liked Russell was with the bands.
