world to create a hybrid landscape. Zayas’ dedication to the Los Angeles River rivals that of Claude Monet’s to his lily ponds. Zayas, whose studio is located just a few miles from the river, has been painting the river for
over 20 years. “We live in a concrete society where we are surrounded by buildings. One day I walked down to the river and started seeing how beautiful it was. Even the areas that are ugly were beautiful to me,” Zayas said during

49ers strong-arm Buffs LBSU continues its hot start and remain undefeated at home. By Will Hernandez Contributing Writer
It was a fight to the finish, but the Long Beach State women’s basketball team managed to hang on and defeat Colorado 59-42 on Sunday inside the Walter Pyramid. The 49ers (7-1) are off to another fast start to the season. It is the second straight year that LBSU has started off the season with only one loss in the first eight games, something that hadn’t been done since the 1990-91 season. From early on, the 49ers’ stingy defense took the Buffaloes out of their game and forced Colorado (3-4) to turn the ball over 22 times. “We knew their defense was like that, we played them last year and remember that,” Colorado head coach Linda Lappe said. “They never let you get comfortable, they’re always

Fear for safety abroad Students and faculty discuss studying abroad in the aftermath of Paris attacks.
MOLAA exhibit and panel sparks conversation about Los Angeles River revitalization.
The Los Angeles River in the paintings of Victor Hugo Zayas’ is rendered through changing light, through different levels of smog and pollution, through neighborhood lines, through time, lucidly and dreamlike, and yet the works manage to make the river feel coherent. Earth tones emerge as the unifying color palette of the river. Lines smudge, bleed and create networks. The metaphor is clear: humans and nature are inextricable. They are part of the same ecology. Our infrastructure and chemicals merge with the natural

f lying around and trying to get charges. They take you out of your rhythm offensively and that is what they did to us.” Last season, the 49ers knocked off the Buffaloes, 62-56, on the road in Boulder, Colorado. This time was no different; however, the 49ers needed to scrap for the win. Given the size of LBSU’s roster, the 49ers understood that they needed to play smarter and tougher. “We’re small and everyone knows we’re small,” LBSU head coach Jody Wynn said. “We’re not going to get any bigger, [but] we can play bigger, play smarter, play tougher, and today was a full 40 minutes of being tougher.” Despite their lack of size, the 49ers outscored the Buffaloes 34 to 12 in points in the paint. “We made a concentrated effort of getting the ball in the paint,” Wynn said. “Our guards did a good job of penetrating in the lane and they themselves scored in the paint as well.”

The importance and love of traveling is no foreign concept to many students at California State University, Long Beach. However, in light of the Paris attacks and terrorist threats around the country, the value of safety has become an important component to students going abroad next semester and to prospective students who plan to travel alongside their course study. “I really wanted to study abroad, but my parents aren’t allowing me to anymore,” human development major Gabriela Neely said. “Honestly it’s just a different world now, and I wouldn’t feel safe going right now, but maybe in the future when things calm down.” The International Program advises students to remain educated on current world affairs when faced with the prospects of traveling. The study abroad office does provide safety information for students and emphasizes the importance of doing so. “For every program for both faculty and students, we have a thorough orientation,” said Jeet Joshee, the associate vice president of international education. “We give safety tips, like a do’s and don’ts of foreign travel.” Despite the Paris attacks, in which CSULB student Nohemi Gonzalez was killed, the program has not seen a decline in enrollment for study abroad programs. According to the CSULB website, more than 20,000 students have taken advantage of the international program in its existence. The program’s website lists many reasons why studying abroad is important, including degree credits and life See ABROAD, page 2

Sounds of the season PHOTOS AND STORY BY ARIANA SAWYER Contributing Writer
As Janay Watts studied in the Nugget last year, she noticed none of the televisions were tuned in to coverage on the indictment of Officer Darren Wilson, who killed unarmed black man Michael Brown. Despite her deep sense of fear that Wilson would not be indicted, she held on to hope that maybe the system would deliver a due measure of justice. When the news hit of Wilson’s non-indictment, her fears were confirmed, but nobody else in the room seemed to take notice. “Looking around the Nugget everyone was happy and jolly just going about their lives,” said Watts. “I remember thinking, ‘Why is nobody else in this room so upset? So concerned?’ I had never felt that heavy, and I didn’t understand how we are expected to be students and carry on like life is normal.” The next day she reached out to join a Black Lives Matter chapter and actively made activism a part of who she was. According to its website, BLM is a chapter-based black-led national organization founded by Alicia Garza, Partisse Cullors and Opal Tometi in 2012. It was created in response to the acquittal of self-proclaimed neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who fatally shot unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Given the organization’s pro-black stance, BLM has garnered a lot of attention for its organizational structure and tactics. Specifically, the fact that white allies are not permitted to directly participate in the organization. “Being a black-led movement is intentional because in every movement that we examined or seen in the past other people have tried to co-opt and take over,” said Watts.

“Even if you’re an ally that gets it, there is no way to speak for someone who is black if you are not black- you can advocate, ask questions but you cannot live that same experience.” According to Melina Abdullah, Los Angeles chapter leader and chair of Pan-African studies at Cal State University, Los Angeles, one of the main tactics employed is non-violent direct action through disruption of white spaces. White spaces are settings that are overwhelmingly white and considered to be informally “off limits” for black people, according to “White Space” by Elijah Anderson, a Yale University sociologist and director of the Urban Ethnography Project. Despite the restricted nature of white spaces, blacks are required to navigate the white space as a condition of their existence, wrote Anderson. “As long as our community continues to live under a state of occupation, rage cannot be confined to the black community,” said Abdullah. Though tactics are non-violent, many have associated anger and violence with the movement. Anger that is understandable and rightfully placed, said James Sauceda, race expert and director of the CSULB Multicultural Center. “What I think a challenge for a movement like the Black Lives Matter Movement is, is to restore a kind of moral philosophy, because what we are seeing is just angry group against angry group and that doesn’t change anything,” Sauceda said. “The non-violence shows you who the real perpetrator is, there’s the brute, but if you can’t differentiate who’s the brute because they are both doing the same thing then that’s not civil disobedience, that is not a higher level that we are held to.”

enrichment. “Studying abroad was one of the best experiences of my life,” junior Kelly Smith said, who hopes fear will not prevent students from traveling. Smith studied abroad in London for the spring 2015 semester. Joshee said that the program is in talks of increasing social media presence for faster and more convenient communication between the school and its students abroad. Joshee also said that the program is in talks of possibly requiring students to have a Twitter handle when studying abroad so they have the easiest form of contact to a student in lieu of phone calls.
Students at CSULB are often highly encouraged by professors, friends and advisors to go abroad. “When I went to my advisor for registering for classes, he recommended I go abroad,” sophomore Leah Reyes said. “I plan on it, even though my parents really don’t want me to because of the student [Nohemi Gonzalez] who died.” In conversations between students, questions of security and schedules came up and students wondered if there would be strict itineraries being initiated in the programs. According to Joshee, there will be no decrease in activities or plans to restrict students from them. “Certainly the hesitation and fear will be there, but we can’t live in the fear. But we can make sure that everything we can do for safety is done,” said Joshee, advising students who may be contemplating studying abroad in light of recent events. “You have to pursue your dream.”

Movie review: ‘James White’ is a well-done “James White” opens with its title character drifting restlessly through a club, his ear buds pulsing music, sweat on his brow. The camera, as insistent as a gnat, tracks the bearded twentysomething as he downs drinks and moves around the dark, throbbing bar, maybe in the company of a woman (maybe not — they’re not talking), and finally emerging on the New York street. It’s daylight. And this stark study in self-destruction is underway. An accomplished and compelling film by writer/director Josh Mond, “James White” is also pretty much a bummer. Played with rattling energy by Christopher Abbott, James is a writer who doesn’t write, a smart, single dude who does singularly stupid stuff. Drugs. Bar fights. He has also had to help his mother, Gail (Cynthia Nixon), through a bout with cancer, getting her prescriptions, taking her for treatments. She’s in remission now. He sleeps on the couch in her apartment. Nick (Scott Mescudi), his best buddy, drops by. Mond breaks his film into chapters: “November,” “December,” “January,” “February,” “March.” It’s in December, after sitting shiva for his father (long estranged), that James decides he needs to get out of town. Mexico. He’ll meditate, stop taking drugs, “get healthy,” get his act together — and re-

At the beach resort, James picks up a high school girl from New York (Makenzie Leigh). They drop acid. Nick materializes (he has got a job there). They party. Then, Ma calls. The cancer is back.

But unlike Monet, Zayas is not an impressionist. His paintings, which are mostly oil on canvas or wood, are abstract landscapes. They straddle dimensions; close up the mounds of paint create a ripple-like topography of ridges and depressions, as if the painting itself is a product of the river. In seeing beauty where most see only a concrete wasteland, Zayas’ art exemplifies what poet Lewis MacAdams, who has been called the Best Friend of the Los Angeles River, wrote: “Whether its ugly or beautiful, / poisoned and imprisoned, / or f looding fresh and free, / the Los Angeles River will always f low; / and lovers will always walk / along its banks holding hands.” Art & the L.A. River: A Panel Discussion broached the
Stage 4. James is on the next plane home. Will helping his mother through her steep decline (dementia, incontinence, crippling pain) bring James some kind of focus in his life? Will the responsibility turn things around? Do we care? That’s the problem — my problem,
anyway — with “James White.” Does the portrait of a selfish, screwed-up guy — even a fully realized portrait — warrant our attention, our consideration? Are we supposed to recognize ourselves in James, or recognize the fact that anyone is capable of veering off this way — given the right (or wrong) set of circumstances? What’s
questions of what the artist’s role in the revitalization of the Los Angeles River is. During the panel, Zayas said he hopes his art raises awareness of a natural resource that is largely unknown to many Angelinos. Long Beach is home to approximately nine miles of the Los Angeles River, which originates in Canoga Park. In August, Mayor Robert Garcia requested that the City Manager update a plan drawn up by the city in 2007 to create continuous green space along the banks of the river. A project to restore 39 acres of wetland adjacent to the Los Angeles River in North Long Beach began earlier this month. This is part of a larger master plan to have the entire 51mile river revitalized by 2025. And so ultimately, Zayas may be doing the work of a clairvoyant, his lush paintings envisioning the future of the Los Angeles River. “In the years to come,” said Zayas, “I hope to see the river unify communities usually divided by the river.” Victor Hugo Zayas: The River Paintings can be viewed at the Museum of Latin American Art Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is $10 for non-members.

Letter to the Editor
T
he virtue of any organization is demonstrated in what it advocates. 49ers for Israel at California State University, Long Beach advocates for peace, love and life. Interest in the club has increased dramatically this semester as more events are held and positive word of mouth starts to spread. At weekly Monday meetings members enjoy each other’s company while chowing down on free food and newcomers are greeted warmly. The group focuses on pro-Israel education and advocacy discussions. Most conversations even on serious matters remain civil and positive. Most importantly, 49ers for Israel take the high road in the face of hate and negativity. At the beginning of the semester, hostile individuals gave nasty looks, knocked pamphlets off tables, and on one occasion threw trash at a member. Police security has become necessary at times. The fight against anti-Semitism, especially on college campuses is
ongoing and takes on many forms. CSULB students for the most part are focused on their own personal struggles and are unaware of what is going on in the Middle East. Some groups exploit this lack of information and bombard students with disturbing visuals and false information on their way to class. In November, 49ers for Israel hosted Gil Cohen-Magen, a prominent Israeli photojournalist whose works have appeared in the New York Times and Reuters, at one of their meetings. Gil showed his incredible collection of photos and described what it was like taking pictures in a war zone under fire. Another event in November attended by many 49ers for Israel members was a lecture by David Makovsky, a former advisor to Secretary of State John Kerry. He shared his thoughts on the Paris attacks, Israeli-Palestinian relations, and Middle East peace to an enthusiastic crowd at the Walter Pyramid. Both speakers gave great lectures and were well received by the audience. 49ers for Israel hopes
to hold and promote even more fun events throughout the school year and welcomes all students. On our campus a wall of hate is revealed every year denouncing Israel during Palestine Awareness Week. Events such as “Genocide in Gaza” displayed numerous bloody images for all to see. Phrases like “Crimes Against Humanity” and other buzzwords are spelled out in bold red font to catch the attention of people passing by. These emotional appeals have made an impact. Some on campus become less likely to think critically and thus are more likely to accept the narrative they have been given. A newer tactic being used on many college campuses is to compare the struggles of one minority group, like undocumented Mexican students, to the struggle of the Palestinians. These comparisons are false, misleading, and exploitative in nature. Human rights have been violated and continue to be violated all over the world. Humanitarian disasters, from Syria to Darfur, where thousands have died and millions have been
displaced, are not protested on campuses anywhere near as much as Israel. There isn’t a wall for women getting stoned to death in Saudi Arabia or journalist being beheaded by ISIS. The reality is Israel is a small democratic nation surrounded by much larger authoritarian regimes. It defends itself in response to aggression just like the United States would. It is also the United States’ only ally in the region. Israel is undeniably the Jewish homeland; this is based not just on religious text but on archeological fact. There has always been a Jewish presence in the area for thousands of years. The Palestinians have been offered their own state on several occasions, but have refused any territorial concessions, have denied Israel’s right to exist, and have waged an almost constant war. Palestinians are indoctrinated by anti-Semitic propaganda from a young age to the point where all they know is hate. After Israeli soldiers completely left the Gaza Strip in 2005, removing longtime
Jewish residents from their homes in the process, Palestinians almost immediately began launching rockets towards Jewish cities. The Jewish people have endured incredible persecution throughout history. They are a true underdog story. It is their resilience as a people, which has kept them going. Following the holocaust, the UN General Assembly recognized the need for a Jewish state to prevent more massacres from taking place. Israel wants to live in peace, others do not. Now more than ever our university needs to stand up for Jewish students as anti-Semitism on and off campus grows. Please do not blame Israel for the war being waged by Palestinians. I urge everyone to please take the time to learn the history of Israel and the Middle East conflict before believing false accusations that distort the reality of the situation.

Toning your waist, torturing your organs Riva Lu Staff writer

ig chest, small waist and voluptuous booty. Such are characteristics of what the ideal female body is in today’s society, or at least that is what the media is constantly portraying. In order to obtain this image, some women are undergoing plastic surgery, slaving away at the gym or using waist trainers for that hourglass figure that is hard to achieve on their own. “There are two different types of waist trainers,” sales associate of Exotica Lingerie Barbara Mary said. “There is a steel bone and spiral boning; both are made of
metal.” Mary said that the steel bone, the skeleton within the garment, is the element of waist trainers that people complain about the most. I realized the ridiculous trend was growing when I saw that my 48-year-old mother had one in her closet. “Our society sees women as beautiful figures if they have a full hourglass body, which celebrities aim for or have,” senior psychology major Lisa Can said. “In this day and age, with all the technology we have, it is easy for women to compare themselves to others, which leads to crazy weight loss trends.” California State University, Long Beach lecturer Dr. Rosie Kar said that there is a long history, colored by Eurocentric aesthetic standards, of wanting to achieve an “ideal” hourglass figure.

Wysocki said that conventions of attraction are limited to a narrow set of factors. “These factors are determined by the men who deem what is sexy,” Wysocki said. “[These are] the men who run the media as well as the fashion, beauty, diet and fitness industries.” Wysocki said that in an ideal society, we would value a wide variety of woman’s choices to present themselves visually. But in order to get to this point, we as a society would need to not care as much about the way a woman looks. “Women see themselves as objects in this society, and then adhere to the centuries-old conventions set by men,” Wysocki said. “This fashion trend is connected to the fact that we live in a patriarchal society that dictates dominant messages about ideal beauty.”
Women who can’t lose weight are turning to a 500-year-old invention.

Kar said that people need to keep in mind that people like celebrities that photograph themselves using waist trainers and then post those images on social media are often given monetary compensation for doing so. “Capitalist endeavors and business ventures are famous for preying on insecurities, and for many people, weight/body image is something very serious,” Kar said. According to an article by Marie Claire, the 500-year-old device crushes your organs, compresses your lungs and fractures your ribs. Having a device that can restrict my breathing and potentially deform and move my organs does not sound so ideal to me. Truthfully, I’d rather be overweight than harmful to my body to conform to what ideals society sets out.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
49ers come up short in loss to Bruins LBSU wears down in the final minute as UCLA’s big men prove to be too much. By Joshua Caudill Staff Writer
The Long Beach State men’s basketball team went the distance with UCLA, but fell just short of an upset on Sunday night as the Bruins overpowered the 49ers in the closing minute for the 83-76 win inside Pauley Pavilion. After a pair of free throws by junior guard Branford Jones, LBSU found itself trailing 78-76 with 1:10 remaining in the game. However, UCLA’s Isaac Hamilton would connect on a basket plus get a foul, which would seal the fate of the upset-minded 49ers. “I liked our fight today for it being our fourth game in six days but in the end, their inside was just too big for us,” LBSU head coach Dan Monson said. “We wore down a bit because of fatigue. But they [UCLA] are a good basketball team and we’re getting better.“ Senior guard Nick Faust racked up 24 points, including five three-pointers on the night, for the 49ers, but UCLA would not be outdone as the coach’s son, point guard Bryce Al-
ford, would match Faust with the same numbers. Coming off a victory over No. 1 ranked Kentucky, UCLA had to prepare for a completely different style of play from LBSU. “It’s difficult to adjust since it’s an opposite team. You go from one team that you want to shoot the three to a team that where you have to stop the three,” Bryce Alford said. “We did a decent enough job to win but it’s good for us to grind it out.” With the 49ers lacking a true center, UCLA exploited the lack of a big man with their own duo of bigs; Tony Parker and Tyler Welsh. Both Parker and Welsh posted a double double on the night. Parker had 16 points and 10 rebounds while Welsh had 15 points with 10 boards. Due to the 49ers focusing on those three players, the Bruins’ Hamilton took advantage and played spoiler with 21 points of his own. “I was worried about the emotion we put into Thursday night against Kentucky and the fact that we had Long Beach State and the respect I have for [Dan] Monson and his team; I was very concerned,” UCLA head coach Steve Alford said. “We’re still not as nasty as I want to be though. We’re going to take a break for finals but we have another tough contest against Gonzaga. All in all I’m pleased. They’re a well-coached team and a good team.” LBSU led the entire first half and controlled the tempo early. Having hit 44 three-pointers over their previ-

Senior guard Nick Faust defends UCLA’s Isaac Hamilton in LBSU’s 83-76 loss to the Bruins on Sunday, Dec. 6, inside Pauley Pavilion. ous four games, the 49ers picked up right where they left off and hit seven shots from behind the arc in Sunday’s game. Faust put up 15 points in the first half and his fourth three-pointer of the night in the closing seconds of the first half gave LBSU a 38-37 lead going into the locker room. Point guard Justin Bibbins would hit a three-pointer to open up the second half to give the 49ers a 41-37 lead, but UCLA would find another gear and
started to play to their strengths; their big men inside, and outside shooting from Bryce Alford and Hamilton. The Bruins outscored LBSU 23-10, which featured a momentum-changing steal by Aaron Holiday that led to a dunk by Hamilton that got the crowd inside Pauley Pavillion on their feet. UCLA never trailed again “I want us to sustain this. We played really solid for 30 minutes,” Monson said. “Our last five minutes
of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half were unacceptable. They played harder than us for those two stints. The rest of the game we more than held our own. We have to understand against great teams, you got to sustain it for the whole game and that’s what we got to take from this tonight.” LBSU will travel to Malibu to take on Pepperdine inside the Firestone Fieldhouse on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

One of those guards was junior Jewelyn Sawyer, who scored a game-high 15 points. Sawyer and fellow classmate Raven Benton were the only 49ers that finished in double-digits. On defense, the 49ers limited Colorado to 21 points in the first two quarters. Wynn credited the experience and maturity of LBSU’s juniors to helping the 49ers stay focused and execute on every play. “Our juniors are kids that have gotten reps and played since their freshman year,” Wynn said. “This is their third year, and they understand the expectation of every possession. They’ve been leaders on the court and helped the sophomores and freshmen just as much as the coaches.” In the third quarter, both teams struggled to get any rhythm going offensively; each team only mustered up nine points. Colorado could not get its shots to fall. The Buffaloes converted only eight of 38 attempts from the field in the second half. “When you work so hard to get shots, you want to be able to knock them down,” Lappe said. “Whether they were inside or outside, we
didn’t get enough shots because we were turning the ball over way too much. Credit Long Beach, they outhustled us and they wanted this game and they took it.” Even though the 49ers’ offense got off to a rough start, turning the ball over three times in the first three minutes of the game, they rebounded by playing tight defense and hitting key shots. One of those shots came with 8:43 left in the game. After Colorado’s forward Lauren Higgins knocked down a three-pointer that cut the 49ers’ lead down to four points, Benton made a tough shot off the glass that gave LBSU a 4135 lead. From there on, LBSU outscored Colorado 18-7 to run away with the win. Even though LBSU is off to a hot start, Wynn said she understands the long road ahead. “We just talk about going into every game and only playing that game,” Wynn said. “We’re not talking about how small we are or what conference teams are in. We’re worrying only about what we need to do to be successful offensively and defensively. There is a better sense of poise among the juniors than they were as sophomores.” The 49ers will return to action on Tuesday when they host San Francisco inside the Walter Pyramid at 7 p.m.
