I always wonder if I’m going to be accepted by my peers even though I come from a different background than most of the people in my classes. Although I feel most students are nice to foreigners, I can’t help but feel that some people don’t think I belong in this country.

It’s that time of the year again. Week of Welcome, an event sponsored by Associated Students Inc., is returning this Wednesday and Thursday in Cal State Long Beach’s central quad from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. At Week of Welcome, students can learn about the near 300 clubs that CSULB has to offer and find one that piques their interest. Fraternities, sororities, cultural and religious organizations will put up booths and try to encourage students to sign up, participate in club events and create connections. The hundreds of tables and tents crowded with club-oriented memo-

rabilia and sign-up incentives may be overwhelming to new students; however, the purpose of Week of Welcome is to showcase all the extra-curricular activities CSULB has to offer. There is a wide range of clubs at Long Beach — from CSULB Beach Cats, a club dedicated to the humane care and management of the campus cat population, to Democracy Mat-

The Hollywood Foreign Press Agency, which hosts the Golden Globe Awards, recently presented Cal State Long Beach’s College of the Arts with a donation totalling $105,000. According to Sandra Cuneo, the grant officer for the HFPA, the donation is specifically for the film and television division of the College of the Arts. The donation is comprised of three different funding categories: a one-time grant of $40,000, a HFPA Fellowship/ Scholarship Endowment of $5,000 and a Higher Educational Fellowships and Institutional Support of $60,000.
College of the Arts Director of Development Arlena Kauppi said in an email that COTA has been receiving money annually from the HFPA since 2005. This year’s donation was much larger than those of the past. In an article in Inside CSULB, Kauppi said that CSULB and HFPA have a strong relationship. “They love what our film students do,” Kauppi told Inside CSULB. “Our students write, produce, direct, and shoot fiction films and documentaries… Add to that the diversity all over the CSULB campus, which is especially so in our Film and Electronic Arts Department with students from all over the world.” The College of the Arts has many prestigious alumni including Academy Award-winning Director Steven Spielberg, Academy Award-winning Sound Editor Karen Baker Landers and Primetime Emmy-nominated Visual Effects Supervisor Ron

US hits goal to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees By Justin Sink Bloomberg News
WASHINGTON — The U.S. will hit its goal of taking in 10,000 refugees from Syria on Monday, a month ahead of the deadline set by President Barack Obama. The announcement is a victory for the administration, which has said that by accepting more refugees, the U.S. would both help people fleeing the brutal Syrian civil war and gain credibility as it asked European partners to shoulder the burden of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the violence. But it’s also sure to reinvigorate debate in the 2016 campaign, where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has warned that the refugees pose a security risk. His running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, directed agencies in his state to attempt to prevent Syrian refugees from resettling there, and other Republican governors have also vowed to put up roadblocks. Republicans in Congress have questioned whether the screening process for the refugees is stringent enough. Trump has criticized his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, for supporting Obama’s plan, saying she’s more concerned with providing jobs to those fleeing conflict than those already in the U.S. Clinton has accused Trump, who once proposed a temporary ban on all Muslim immigration to the U.S., of trying to stoke fear. Delivery on the president’s pledge to admit 10,000 refugees reflects a dramatic increase in admissions in recent weeks. In the first six months after
Obama’s announcement of the goal last Sept. 10, only about 1,200 Syrian refugees had resettled in the U.S. Susan Rice, the president’s national security adviser, said the uptick was “a testament to the hard work and dedication of employees across the federal government” in responding to the crisis. “While refugee admissions are only a small part of our broader humanitarian efforts in Syria and the region, the President understood the important message this decision would send, not just to the Syrian people but to the broader international community,” Rice said in a written statement. The International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian organization, said in a statement that it hoped the White House would increase refugee admissions by an additional 55,000 in the coming fiscal year. “Never before has the world witnessed such a dramatic scale of human displacement and suffering,” David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, said in a statement. “As diplomacy fails to curb the fighting in Syria, leaving over half the population displaced, the United States should lead the world in making concrete commitments to refugee resettlement.” The U.S. plans to hold a summit on refugee issues on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly next month. At that meeting, the U.S. will ask other countries, as well as businesses and nonprofits, to boost humanitarian assistance funding and double the global number of refugees offered chances to resettle.

What do you think about the potential increase to the Student Health Fee?
“The increase is fine if it means we’re able to provide more services for people and their mental health on campus. I think mental health is very important and if it means more help and more people to provide it, it’s good.” —Vanessa Ramos, freshman, biology major
“I think it’s a good idea. I don’t need mental health services personally but I know and feel that some students need it. If this increase means bringing in more staff, I think it’s fine.” —Emanuel Motino, junior, math education major
“It definitely poses more of a financial strain on students but if the services are needed, then I see no reason why they [shouldn’t] try to do their best to accommodate people. I see that there might be some discomfort about it in the long run but the fee increase is something that is needed then.” — Jasmine Reyes, junior, English major Navy Keophan | Daily 49er
interests. This is especially beneficial for the approximate 93 percent of students that commute and don’t spend as much time on campus as they would like to, according to the CSULB website. In the past, Week of Welcome has been joined by KBeach radio, food trucks and dance routines performed by members of dance organizations at CSULB. Student organizations will be giving out everything from informational flyers and pens, to snacks and candy. Week of Welcome will be concluded with Smorgasport, an event on Sept. 2 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. in CSULB’s parking lot 3, located just west of the University Student Union. Smorgasport offers students a more laid-back opportunity to meet fellow 49ers after their classes, rather than during. Students are welcome to join for food, music and games as well as free giveaways. The event is free, but only open to CSULB students age 18 and over with a valid CSULB I.D.

The Daily 49er is being recognized for its diverse reporting and multimedia platforms. By Michaela Kwoka-Coleman News Editor
The Associated Collegiate Press announced Monday that the Daily 49er is one of 30 finalists for the prestigious Newspaper Pacemaker award. According the the ACP’s website, the finalists were chosen because of their “professionalism, diverse coverage and risk-taking… clean design, engaging photography and creative, accurate headlines.” The 30 finalists were chosen from a pool of 155 applicants from universities across the country. The issue which qualified the Daily 49er as a finalist was the special April 25 issue regarding the deportation of José Alvarez. In February, Alvarez was
stopped by a Cal State Long Beach Police Officer about a mile off campus. After running Alvarez’s license, the officer was instructed to hold Alvarez until Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrived. Shortly after, Alvarez was deported to Tijuana. The deportation sparked outrage among students, community members, and immigration activists. In reporting the story of the deportation, the separation of Alvarez from his family, and the movement to return Alvarez to the U.S., then Daily 49er News Editor Ariana Sawyer and then Special Issues Editor Kevin Flores traveled to Tijuana to interview Alvarez and his family. Aside from the Daily 49er, other nominations from California colleges and universities include El Don of Santa Ana College, the Daily Bruin of UCLA, the Occidental Weekly of Occidental College and the Southwestern College Sun of Southwestern College. The winners of the Pacemaker awards will be announced at the National College Media Convention in Washington D.C. in October.

Brooks continued using Wilder in his films, casting him as the Waco kid in “Blazing Saddles,” a gunslinger with the fastest hands in the world that “crawled into a whiskey bottle” and never left. They retold the classic tale of Frankenstein with a hilarious Mel Brooks twist in a movie just as quotable as Wonka. “Young Frankenstein,” (pronounced Fron-ken-steen) was a childhood favorite of mine. Wilder’s Frankenstein, along with the crazy-eyed Marty Feld-
man as his assistant “eye-gor,” was always a go-to for a good laugh. One day, my parents sat me down in disapproval of my millennial sense of humor saying, “If you want to watch something funny, you watch this,” and threw me a copy of Silver Streak. The film is the first of many in which Wilder partners up with comedy juggernaut Richard Pryor. In the movie, Wilder is repeatedly thrown from his train but keeps making it back on to save his new love Jill Clayburgh, recruiting the help of Pryor,
“the thief,” along the way. Wilder and Pryor went on to make three more films together including the hit movie “Stir Crazy,” in which the two men are framed in a bank robbery and thrown into prison together. Somehow, I’ve never seen “Stir Crazy,” but it will be the first of my long marathon tonight in honor of our fallen hollywood treasure. We may have lost the man, but his legacy will live on through these classic films forever.

Dance your heart out with revised minor Andrew Vaca makes minoring in dance more accessible to students. By Elizabeth Ortiz Staff Writer
Cal State Long Beach has made obtaining a dance minor easier than ever for students with loose feet and a passion for thrashing. Now at the Beach, students who want to declare a minor in dance can now do so after completing six units in the department. With the revised declaration process, a dance minor can now be obtained by beginning and intermediate dance enthusiasts without the vigorous auditioning process called the Minor Technique Screening. The number of units needed to complete a dance minor has also been decreased from 24 to 20 units, according to the CSULB website. If a dance minor is interested in auditioning for department concerts, they are still able to participate — however, the student must pass the MTS in February, which allows students minoring in the program to take major dance level technique classes, as well as participate in concerts. CSULB is known as one of the top sought after dance universities, in part due to its proximity to the Los Angeles area and the resulting dance community and industry. “There was no problem with lack of [enrolling competitive] dancers, but if students didn’t pass the audition, then we couldn’t have them as a dance minor,” said Andrew Vaca, department chair and professor of dance. “Now someone who is a natural dancer can enjoy life and do what they want to do.” Vaca wanted to expand the program because of his dance history. He explains that it was high school competitive cheer out of Sacramento that gave him the discipline to pick up dance moves more quickly than other beginners. During his undergrad at Sacramento State he realized that dance was his calling, and made it his career. He ended up working for a professional jazz dance company called “Jazzworks, Sacramento” and now wants to help other talented students experience dance life.
Vaca started to think about how he can change the minor by allowing others to participate. He came up with a plan so students no longer have to be affected by the rejection due to the vigorous audition process. Vaca’s prior-choice of studying chemistry in college changed when he found a love for the arts, and he wanted to create a way for students to have both. “Could we change the minor to help passionate dancers?” asked Vaca. “The newly revised minor can allow students to participate at all levels, even from the ground up.” Major level dance classes allow students to practice higher technique classes, especially in ballet. Training on advanced machines like the Pilates Operates is offered as a gift for cross training at a higher level. Most people pay $40 or more per session to use these expensive machines in health centers. Eating properly is more emphasized by dance instructors. Hint: eat protein with veggies and fruit to save your energy and lay off the fatty fries. “ A dancer’s body is an instrument, not to be rail thin, or overweight,” Vaca said. The faculty is already adjusting the new minor-program by adding a few opportunities to learn dance theory. Vaca also believes this opportunity is good for the job market; one could add the finer skills learned through the dance experience on a job application. “Students can tell people that they have strong time management skills, and I would encourage anyone to come speak with us if they want to minor in dance; it will be easier to start off right from enrollment,” Vaca said. Through this program, Vaca said dancers learn how to take care of the body through technical training in various courses. “It is a nice opportunity to have something like this offered to me because I can meet common interest people,” said business major Joey Lopez, who has been dancing ballet for seven years. “With my only concern is I’m more ‘balletic’ and I would want to be more selective about taking ballet.” Lopez said he will consider looking into a dance minor because he meets the requirements to audition in February for the MTS, but ultimately he took classes for interpersonal fulfilment. Seven units outside of ballet could

take up too much extra time while he strives to meet his business major requirements. The Undergraduate Advisor of Dance and Music Ashley Garcia said Ballet Technique 1 still requires a screening. It is important to see the strength of a dancer mainly due to some injury concerns. This would not
get Lopez out of the screening if he was to pursue a minor in ballet; it would help him gain credit for taking lower level dance classes. “Students can get injured and it is better to start the process from the beginning; any student that wants to focus on dance now has the ability to pursue

Professor Michelle Stonis, because she’s a mom, she knows what she’s doing. She was a really good teacher so I feel like she would be really good at helping me.” Some fellow students remembered to think of life’s simple pleasures. “I want something for mental stability..like a book so I wouldn’t go crazy, I’d take water, knife, backpack, [and] solar power.,” said Karen Carias, a 21-year-old Biology Major. Ford and Carias both have loans out for about $22,000 but both, like many students, have no idea how to go about applying to scholarships.

their passion through declaring a minor,” said Garcia. “Before it was too restrictive and you had to have the technical skill of a dance major.” Garcia points out that the love for dance drives students to take extra classes. With the revised minor, students can collect them into something useful.
“I took out a loan for $7,000 but I don’t know about applying or if I even qualify for scholarships,” said Sarah Smart, a 20-year-old Civil Engineering Major. Connie Moreno, Coordinator for the Center for Scholarships at CSULB, urges all students to contact the center and get informed on all the types of scholarships offered. “You can’t win if you don’t apply,” Moreno said. “All students are worthy of receiving scholarships, they just have to take the time to research, apply, and put best effort into it.” The deadline for this gory scholarship falls on the spookiest day of the year – Halloween. There can only be one entry per student. Use the brains that the walkers, biters, and roamers so badly want to eat and don’t let them get you before then – apply, survive and win.

Preliminary analysis, all bad Men’s basketball team releases prelim schedule. By Matthew Simon Sports Editor
When you first glance at the Long Beach State men’s basketball team’s preliminary schedule there’s one word that comes to mind — yikes. Before we dive into the details, let’s talk about the facts. Over the last 4 to 5 years, the men’s basketball team has set up games against teams that it has no business playing. Head coach Dan Monson has been quoted as saying, “The schedule is going to challenge ourselves in the preseason against some of the best teams in the country. That will give us a good barometer of where we are as we head into Big West play.” This schedule will be not only challenge the men’s basketball team early,
but it will also show that while the 49ers are able to compete in the Big West, it has is outmanned against the top conferences in the country. Now, LBSU may surprise some people and steal some games, but the non-conference schedule will overpower this mid-major college. This year is no different, with early games against North Carolina, UCLA, Washington and Kansas – who are all members of Power 5 conferences. While there’s a reason to play the game, it’s safe to say LBSU’s record will not be above .500 after its tough non-conference schedule. Since 2011, LBSU has gone 28-49 when venturing away from the Walter Pyramid. That doesn’t bode well for the team that will be on the road for 8 of 11 games after Nov. 11. The 49ers’ first test will be against the North Carolina Tar Heels, one of the 2016 NCAA Tournament finalists. Since 2010, LBSU is 0-3 against the Tar Heels.
GOT AN OPINION? LET US KNOW. opedd49er@ gmail.com
Against UCLA, history is not in favor of the 49ers as they are 1-13 alltime against the Bruins. That’s just a sample of the LBSU’s history against Power 5 conference teams, which should be a good indication of what is to come. Adding to the uncertainty of LBSU’s early schedule, the team is also in a state of question with its roster. Outside of junior guard Justin Bibbins, the team will be without two of their top three scorers that puts into question on who will pick up the slack. And once LBSU travels back from their first major road trip, they will be back on the road immediately and have two tough games against Texas and Oregon State. Non-conference play usually allows for some mistakes, but the 49ers will hope for some quick learning or they will struggle early and often. There’s always a chance for history to change, but it is not likely.

49ers net three in win against Aztecs Long Beach State women’s soccer team use all-around performance in win. By Christian Gonzales Assistant Sports Editor
With another dominating performance, the Long Beach State women’s soccer team beat San Diego State 3-0 Monday night at George Allen Field. Redshirt freshman Chloe Froment was a catalyst for the offense, connecting with sophomore defender Sarah Maher and freshman forward Kaitlin Fregulia – who scored in the 25th and 31st minute, respectively. LBSU’s (3-0-1) defense has been stellar as it has kept opponents scoreless in seven consecutive halves. Senior midfielder Mimi Rangel scored after sophomore midfielder Dana Fujikuni delivered a low cross, to give the 49ers a 1-0 lead over the Aztecs (0-3-0). The team wasn’t done there, as Maher scored her first goal as a 49er, from 18 yards out, in the 31st minute. “The back post was open and Chloe played a perfect ball,” Maher said. “Then I took a touch around the defender and shot it.” The win adds to a building confidence the team has after playing solid in every facet of the game.
Lalig Tarbinian | Daily 49er
Sophomore defender Sarah Maher battles with San Diego State player for position of the ball. Maher scored the first goal of her 49er career as LBSU beat the Aztecs 3-0 Monday at George Allen Field.
“We worked on [set pieces] in practice,” Froment said. “I have to keep it up and I like to make players score even though I don’t score my team wins so it’s all good.” Playing team ball has been evident and multiple players have been getting playing time. “I feel good after this past weekend,” Maher said. “Those were two good games that we were able to come out of and earn two shutout which was good and we are ready for next weekend.” Maher wasn’t the only player to score her first career goal as Fregulia scored off a free kick in the 42nd minute as time was running down in the first half. While the team has been playing well, coach Mauricio Ingrassia knows that in soccer anything can change at a moment’s notice. “You don’t want to count shutout streaks or anything like that,” Ingrassia said. “It’s soccer and things are going to happen in the game but how we’re playing is what I’m enjoying and watching the team improve game by game and really handle what the season throws at them.” The 49ers will look to continue their great play when they host Loyola Marymount Friday at 7 p.m. at George Allen Field. “Loyola Marymount is going to be a dog fight just like this,” Ingrassia said. “It’s a team that went to the Sweet 16 last year and they’re going to be very motivated.”
