Playing politics with gender Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign should not be tainted by her controversial husband’s past. Melitza Beltran Contributing Writer
What do first-time Latino business owners, Black expecting parents, a soonto-be-wed homosexual couple and Hillary Rodham Clinton have in common? They’re all in transition on the way to realizing their dreams and goals, and Clinton proposes to help. “Every day Americans need a champion,” Clinton said in the campaign video released last week. “And I want to be that champion, so you can do more than just get by.” For Clinton to win the presidency, voters will have to undergo a transition, too. They must separate their image of Hillary Clinton from that of Bill Clinton, a name that may be a campaign hazard for the former New York Senator. Although Clinton is no stranger to campaigning, it seems she must rise above the other candidates. Often judged by the actions of her husband, Hillary Clinton must distinguish herself. For example, when she was the first lady of Arkansas, she worked for the Rose Law Firm, which was at the center of the Whitewater scandal during Bill Clinton’s presidency. The scandal concerned a failed Arkansas real estate deal. Hillary Clinton’s critics and opponents have already tried to use this information to demean her campaign, according to Yahoo News Thursday. According to the National First Ladies Library, “Hillary Clinton sharply retorted to a journalist’s question at a public appearance that was being covered by broadcast media that the only way a working attorney who happened to also be the governor’s wife could have avoided any controversy would have been if she had ‘stayed home and baked cookies.’” She will also face a highly polarized country, in which many voters “harbor very old fashioned ideas about gender and women’s roles,” California State University, Long Beach political science professor Mary Caputi said. Yet Clinton has proven time and time again that she’s not only capable of being a first lady, she’s also worthy of being this nation’s first female president. “Just based on what she’s done in her record and the fact that she’s been in politics for so long stands her in really good stead,” Caputi said. “…She definitely knows what she’s getting herself into.” During her stint as senator she pushed for health care reform, like she had done as a first lady, and remained an advocate for children. Clinton is a member of the Armed Services Committee, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, Pensions and the Special Committee on Aging, according to U.S. News and World Report. The presidential candidate graduated with honors from Yale Law School where she volunteered at New Haven Hospital,

The smell of gasoline wafted into the crowd as freestyle motocross riders turned, flipped and whipped their bikes every which way Thursday night,
signaling the start of the Long beach Grand Prix. Thunder Thursday and the Lifestyle expo at the Grand Prix brought action sports to Long Beach residents and visitors alike. Freestyle motocross rider Rich Kearns entertained the crowd with Indian airs and nac nacs, whipping the bike

Young guns carry team at Blair Field The Dirtbags locked down another series win with an offensive explosion. By Eddie Rivera Contributing Writer
A 10-1 victory Sunday at Blair Field capped off a series win over Cal State Northridge as the Long Beach State baseball team continued its excellent play at home. Freshman righty Chris Mathewson had another dominant start, striking out a career-high 10 hitters while walking none in eight shutout innings in Sunday’s 10-1 beat down

of Cal State Northridge (11-26, 1-8 Big West). “[I’m] just being aggressive as [the season] goes on,” Mathewson said. “I’m feeling better and stronger, but I still have to work.” Junior right fielder Zack Rivera got the rout started by driving in two early runs with a double to left center field. Another double by junior catcher Eric Hutting pushed the Dirtbags’ lead to 4-0 in the first inning. The Dirtbags went on to score two runs in each of the next three innings, ballooning their lead to 10-0. UCR scored its lone run after Mathewson exited the game at the end of the eighth. Rivera said the team needed to change its approach as a team. “We had more aggressive swings during batting practice today,” Rivera said. “Look at the scoreboard, it worked.”

Daily 49er hires new editor in chief By Paige Pelonis Editor In Chief
On a warm April night, a handful of staff members from the Daily 49er sat around tossing adjectives around, waiting for one to land. They laughed while trying to come up with the best description of a friend and team member who will soon be their new leader. A quiet student with an eye for newspaper design, senior journalism major Greg Diaz, 31, will soon take over as editor in chief at the Daily 49er. “A man of mystery, Greg has an aloofness that pairs nicely with his trademark nods and shoulder shrugs,” Amy Patton, the news editor, said. “It gives him a well-earned heir of credibility.” Diaz jumped on board at the Daily 49er in the middle of a multimedia transformation. Starting as an assistant designer for the printed newspaper, Diaz worked through the long 2014 summer and became print manager in the early part of the fall semester. He embedded himself into the staff slowly; his first day in the newsroom, a little over a year ago, hardly anyone heard him speak. As the weeks of summer warmed up, Diaz did the same.

These days, Diaz is friend to many on staff — though the group enjoys teasing Diaz for his reserved leadership style. “Greg crept into leadership at the paper,” Danielle Carson, the print manager at the Daily 49er, said. “Somewhat like how he creeps up behind me to constructively criticize my designs.” On his way to becoming the most versatile member of the staff, Diaz took on the task of multimedia manager as the spring 2015 semester kicked off. As the semester rolled to an end, Diaz submitted his application for the chief editing position. He intends to expand the daily publication’s reach by engaging the online readership #49ernow, which stems from Diaz’s latest project at www.daily49er.com. Diaz is no stranger to the task of leading a campus newspaper; he worked as the editor in chief of the Hornet at Fullerton College before transferring to California State University, Long Beach. “It’s not that I can’t describe Greg,” photo editor Michael Ares said. “It’s just that I can’t think of the right word.” Ares eventually called Diaz ambitious and innovative, “a relatable friend and someone who is always looking for ways to improve.” Editor’s Note: Greg Diaz declined to comment.

Bill injected with threats
By Madison D’Ornellas Assistant News Editor
California Senate Bill 277 proposes an immunization requirement for children who wish to be admitted to school in California. The senate chambers received a death threat on Friday in response to

the bill, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The threat, along with others, led to an increase in personal security for bill cowriters Senator Bill Allen and Senator Richard Pan. Allen told the San Francisco Chronicle that an unidentified caller directed the death threat at a legislative staffer. Allen’s office reported incident to the Senate’s sergeant-at-arms, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Pan, who is also a pediatrician, said he looks to repeal California’s “personal belief exemption” with Senate Bill 277. He said he has been given added security in his office due to threatening emails, phone calls and social media posts from opponents of the bill, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. If the senate passes SB 277, California would join 32 states that do not allow parents to exempt their children from preschool vaccinations under a “perA dam fire in Corona and a brush fire in Fullerton yesterday signal the end of fire danger in Southern California until the end of April, according to the National Weather Service. The national Weather Service attributed the fires to the dryness caused by the drought. The National Weather Service anticipates temperatures to stay consistent through Tuesday with sunny skies and light breezes throughout Los Angeles County. Cooler, moister conditions starting Wednesday should keep fire dangers down, said to National Weather Service meteorologist David Sweet. Sweet also predicted that weak, low-pressure systems are move along the coast Wednesday through Friday evening, causing fog and chilly morn-

sonal belief exemption.” On top of eliminating personal belief exemption, the bill would require school districts to explicitly inform parents on immunization rates before the school year begins, according to Senate Bill 277. “The high number of unvaccinated students is jeopardizing public health not only in schools but in the broader community,” Allen said in a press release. “We need to take steps to keep our schools safe and our students healthy.” After the Senate Health Committee meeting last week, the bill needs five votes to move forward out of the Senate Education Committee. The bill would then go through the Senate Judiciary Committee, past the Assembly and ultimately to Governor Brown’s hands, according to the California Legislature status on the bill. ings. The National Weather Service gages a 20 to 30 percent chance of showers will move through the week beginning Wednesday evening. Next week, a miniature heat wave should return with temperatures in the 60s and mid70s, Sweet said. Although some April showers could bring May flowers, a little bit of moisture on the ground for a couple of days will not affect the drought. “Late April is the end of the rainy season,” Sweet said. “[The rain] will not change the overall situation [of the drought] at all.”

The rest of the weekend followed suit with fans retreating into the Long Beach Convention Center between races to take in the spectacle of thousands of corporate sponsors showcasing their products and giving away free merchandise. The expo featured a special demonstration session with a few of the world’s top BMX riders and skateboarders. Riders cruised down a half pipe, contorting their bikes and whipping 360 aerials on a skateboard inside the arena of the convention center. “Kids can’t walk in their garage and work on their Grand Prix car when they get home, but they see us and they can go home and try out these stunts for themselves,” Gabe Weed, professional BMX rider said.

at the expo last year. He said that a young man approached him, telling a story of how he first watched Coleman perform at the GPLB when he was 11, and that he came back to watch him again ten years later. “I was recently asked how many years I have been riding professionally and a fan came up to me saying that he watched me at his first Grand Prix event ten years later,” Coleman said. Chris Esslinger, the director of communications for the GPLB, said that the goal of the Grand Prix is to welcome as many different segments of the population as it can. Event workers want to have something for everyone. “[Action sports] draw in the younger crowd that are interested in the skateboards and the bikers, much like what we do on Pine Avenue with the motocross,” Esslinger said. Esslinger also said that action sports have been an integral part of the lifestyle expo and that the Grand Prix is always looking to expand on the demonstrations. The checkered flag waved in the constant breeze Sunday afternoon, signaling the end of another Grand Prix weekend in Long Beach. But for the athletes who embody the lifestyle of the Grand Prix expo, there is always next year.

The seemingly endless line for Record Store Day slithered down the Fourth Street sidewalk as the warm rays of the sun cracked through the tree branches. Inside Fingerprints music store, crowds dispersed in all directions to find hidden gems of different genres and eras as records went flying in the air Saturday. The cool, foggy breeze around the crowd reminded participants that it was still 7 a.m. According to those in the music scene, the popularity of vinyl records has grown exponentially in recent years, resulting in distinct trends within the music industry and with music consumers. Vinyl sales in the first half of 2014 increased by 40 percent since 2013, while total album sales fell by almost 15 percent due to diminishing sales of CDs and digital albums, according to Newsweek. “It’s becoming more and more of a major label thing where they’re shoving up more products to get more dollars for the consumer,” Los Angeles resident Steve Pettit said. “Unfortunately, that is hindering the business of more independent artists.” Several vinyl enthusiasts said that they believe that the instinct of major record labels such as Warner Music Group to capitalize on the trend defeats the point of Record Store Day, which is to boost independent stores as well as independent labels. “Independent labels were the reason why vinyl was started,” Pettit said. The finite number of record pressing plants also creates a barrier for independent labels. According to the Wall Street Journal, there is about 15 record pressing plants in the United States that face daily difficulties of breakdowns and supply shortages. “Say an independent label like TP records, who do newer psychedelic bands, like the Warlocks or Comet Control, sell out of their stock for a title that there’s demand for,” Pettit said. “The major labels have the ability to do more business because they’ve hypothetically got 3,000 Faming Lips records.” Since the larger labels are selling higher quantity records, the smaller la-
bels are getting pushed to the wayside as a result, Pettit said. He said that this not only impedes their Record Store Day sales, but year-round business as well. Entrepreneurs are weary about investing large dollars into the record pressing industry since it represents only 2 percent of music sales in the U.S., according to the Wall Street Journal. According to the Rolling Stone, those who choose to listen digitally, which precautions the music industry from steering its market towards vinyl, rival those who revel in the artisanal quality of records. “I think that [the vinyl trend] can go both ways”, Simi Valley resident Heba Elalami said. “I have friends who have grown up with records from their parents and appreciate listening to oldies. But there’s also a lot of people who have started collecting records but aren’t even interested in listening to them.” On the flip side, Fingerprints employee Quincy King said that he is glad to see a boost in vinyl sales. “I think there’s a lot of positive,” King said. “The negative things can be ironed out over time.” Hip-Hop has also played a role in making the comeback of vinyl through the prevalence of DJs, music sampling and obscure artists, such as Q-tip and Flying Lotus. “Combining older and newer [hip hop] sounds and introducing it to the culture helps promote [records] and creates a supply and demand for it,” King said. As the world immerses itself into the digital age, many music fans still crave something tangible. “I could order my records online, but that kind of defeats the purpose,” King said. “There’s something about actually going there and actually finding a record that you’ve been looking for forever.” The aesthetic nostalgia that comes with vinyl records keeps some on the lookout during Record Store Day. Fans appreciate the unique character of each disc— the beauty of the artwork and colors, or the fragmented sounds that come from some of the old records. “There’s a ritual that goes with it: you take the record out of the sleeve, you clean it, you drop the needle, you kind of listening to when it gets to where you have to get up and turn the record over,” Foster said. “It kind of forces you into the moment. Hopefully it’s an inexpensive vacation.”

Ban the abortion fort Tuyen Dinh Contributing Writer
Pictures of bloody fetuses and partially developed babies in metal dishes covered the wall. I stepped onto campus two weeks ago just as sad as everyone else that spring break had ended so quickly and began making the endless trek to class on upper campus. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, I noticed the tall wall of blown-up photos of aborted babies. Words like “genocide” were boldly printed beside the images. CSULB encourages progressive thinking and believes in the power of free speech, but the administration should draw the line when it comes to the anti-abortion demonstrators Bio-Ethical Reform. Most students probably saw them walking to and from classes. They were hard to miss. I was not the only person who was offended by the graphic demon-
strators. “The pictures were scarring,” junior computer science major Aaron Chai said. “If you look around, you could see that pretty much everyone was very uncomfortable with the pictures.”
No matter which side you’re on, the demonstrators went too far this time. A month or so ago, there was a group advocating veganism in the same area on campus. The organization was showing videos of chickens in slaughterhouses and animals living in poor conditions. However, their demonstration

methods were much more respectful. They would only show you videos and photos with your consent. The outside of the booth showed no traces of graphic content. Although I don’t plan on going vegan myself, I stopped by because I was genuinely curious. As for the genocide demonstration, passing by it once was enough for me to change my route to class for the rest of the week. This university has regulations set up for commercial and non-commercial solicitors. These solicitors must follow these guidelines in a manner “without voice amplification or other unduly loud noise, and without undue provocation, harassment or disturbance of persons in the area,” according to the CSULB’s website. Why doesn’t mental disturbance seem to count? The university administration needs to better monitor what groups are allowed to demonstrate on campus. Whether students are pro-life or pro-choice, these pictures should not be displayed in the center of campus ever again.

taking on cases of child abuse, according to the National First Ladies Library. She also volunteered with the city Legal Services, providing free legal service to the poor. After Bill Clinton served his two terms in office, Hillary Clinton captured the U.S. Senate seat in New York. In winning, she became the first wife of a president to seek and win national office. She was also the first female senator from New York. Her Senate campaign featured a “listening tour” in which she traveled around New York and discussed social issues with residents. Her 2016 presidential campaign video announced that she would once-again be talking to individual citizens while on her road trip from New York to Iowa, according to the Huffington Post.
“I’m hitting the road to earn your vote,” Clinton said in her video. The humble tour across America is supposed to reconnect the candidate with the very public she seeks to serve. Of course the politician is no stranger to controversy. Who could forget the Monica Lewinsky scandal, in which she received mass criticism for her decision to stay with Bill Clinton and the more recent Benghazi and personal email scandals? Despite the challenges and setbacks, Clinton is one among the most recognizable globetrotting diplomats who has used her position to raise awareness for important issues. “She has demonstrated an admirable persistence in decades-long fights for women’s rights and guaranteed health care,” according to USA Today Monday. Voters can either agree or disagree with Clinton’s politics, but one thing’s for sure: she’s definitely on an equal footing with any male candidate.

SLAM TITANS
Big games from sophomores Christina Clermont and Lauren Lombardi helped The Beach take game one of the series.
By Josh Barajas Contributing Writer
The Long Beach State softball team struck first in its series against the Titans thanks to another complete game by right-hander Christina Clermont and a grand slam from catcher Lauren Lombardi. The 49ers (19-22, 6-4) downed Fullerton (27-18, 5-5) 6-1 at the 49er Softball Complex on Saturday. Lombardi, who had two hits and four runs batted in on the day, could not fight back a smile after the win. “[Fullerton is] a really tough team, and we have that rivalry with them, so it was really nice to come out and take that first win,” Lombardi said. Both starters got off to strong starts. Clermont didn’t give up a hit until the top of the third when Titans leadoff hitter Samantha Galarza singled. Freshman outfielder Samantha Vandiver drove Galarza in to score three batters later on a one-out single that was just barely out of center fielder Leilani Tupua-Tautalatasi’s reach. Clermont escaped the inning without giving up further damage. “[Clermont] is a really great pitcher,” Lombardi said. “Even when her pitches aren’t quite on, she still gets the job done. Today was no exception. She just did what we needed.” The 49ers’ ace went on to allow only two more hits in the next four innings and completed the game. Long Beach State finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth. After a pair of singles by junior Haley Tobler and Lauren Lombardi, LBSU’s all-time home run leader Darian Tautalafua stepped up to the plate with a chance to knock in some runs when head coach Kim Sowder told her to do the unexpected. “I called timeout and just told [Tautala-

Titan’s catcher Kylie Padilla panicked and threw the ball over the first baseman’s head, allowing Tobler to score from second and tie the game. Freshman outfielder Summer Pohl stepped up two batters later and hit an RBI single that brought in Lombardi to give the 49ers the lead. However, the biggest hit of the game was yet to come.
With one out in the bottom of the fifth, LBSU managed to load the bases for Lauren Lombardi. Lombardi crushed a ball over the left field scoreboard for a grand slam. “The first thing that’s going to come into anyone’s mind is, ‘one out, I gotta get a big hit here,’” Lombardi said. “I just kept it collected up there and knew we just need to score the runs and it just came.” LBSU will wrap up its series with Fullerton in a doubleheader on Wednesday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the 49er Softball Complex. The games will be televised on ESPNU.
Freshman outfielder Joey Sanchez scored the game-winning run in the Dirtbags 4-3 victory on Saturday’s game. Sanchez went 5-5 in the 10 inning game. Freshman designated hitter Luke Rasmussen smacked his first career homerun in the second inning to get the game going for the Dirtbags. They took an early 3-0 by the third and never trailed after that. The Highlanders managed to tie it up in the seventh with a sac f ly, but a fielding error in the 10th inning by shortstop Joe Chavez allowed Sanchez in for the game-ending run. “I thought arguably [the young guys] played better than the veteran guys,” Buckley said. “It makes [our] team better because it’s internal competition.” The Dirtbags got on the board early on Friday night, but a late inning rally helped the Highlanders escape with a 3-2 victory. The win snapped UCR’s 11game losing streak. Sophomore shortstop Garrett Hampson led the game off with a base hit before eventually making his way to home plate. Freshman outfielder Tristan Mercadel kept it going by singling down the left side and advancing to third base off a hit by freshman designated hitter Brock Lundquist. Mercadel punched in the early 2-0 lead for the Dirtbags after a throwing error by the Highlanders. The Dirtbags failed to score for the rest of the game, which frustrated Buckley. “Some days it seems like we got a really good [plate] approach,” Buckley said. “[Then] there are other days where I don’t know what universe we’re on.” Senior righty Kyle Friedrichs only allowed three runners on base through the first six innings before the Highlanders began their run in the seventh. Friedrichs gave up five hits, including two doubles, which allowed the Highlanders to pull ahead 3-2. The Dirtbags were finally able to get a couple of men on base in the ninth inning after 14 of 15 batters were retired from the third to eighth inning. It was too little too late as Mathewson came in to pinch hit and went down swinging to end the game. The Dirtbags will hit the road again and take on Loyola Marymount University Tuesday night at 6 p.m.

Long Beach State opposite John La Rusch, center, spikes the ball as CSUN blocks on Saturday in the Walter Pyramid The Beach defeated the Matadors in the five game matchup.
The 49er crowd roared when Long Beach State juniors John La Rusch and Taylor Gregory propelled their team past Cal State Northridge on Saturday night inside the Walter Pyramid. The No. 11 49ers (15-12, 11-11 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) not only honored their seniors at their last home match, but also acknowledged two recently passed LBSU volleyball supporters Bill Lovelace and Teresa Farrell by wearing recognition patches on their jerseys. Blown up headshots of seniors Ryan Windisch, Tyler Kulakowski and Chris van Vurren floated in the crowd for the entire match as part of their final flight inside the Pyramid. LBSU head coach Alan Knipe presented each senior with a framed jersey while telling his fondest memory of that player as
teammates and family members looked on. “Ryan [played] on a bad foot, but he did great in his role tonight,” Knipe said. “I didn’t give Tyler the number of reps I wanted to because of the flow of the match. I thought Chris did a really good job in game one and he did a great job serving for us.” The 49ers head into the postseason as the seventh seed in the MPSF set to take on Hawaii in round one. Knipe said that after a two-week break, it was important for his team to get used to playing fast-paced volleyball again. “We had to play harder and get back into that competing mode and that competition mode,” Knipe said. “It was really good for us, not very pretty at times, but good for us.” The No. 13 Matadors (10-18, 7-15 MPSF) will miss the postseason following a difficult season that was plagued with injuries. Head coach Jeff Campbell said the match was typical of how his team’s season played out. “We’ve been very close,” Campbell said. “We’ve lost many more deuce games than we’ve won. It was a competitive match, [but] it didn’t mean too much for us since we’re out [of the playoffs.]” The 49ers ended their night hitting .189 percent compared to the Matadors .167. Junior outside hitter Andrew Whitt registered nine kills with only four errors. Whitt said his team came together when they were trailing in the match and adjusted well to hard serves from CSUN. “We had to bounce back and talk about communication,” Whitt said. “[We had to] fall back on what we are successful with, which is communication in the seams and sticking the pass.” The 49ers will take on No. 4 Hawaii in Honolulu April 25 for the first match of the MPSF playoffs.
