LBUSD students enroll in ethnic studies High schoolers earning college credit visit campus. By Greg Diaz Editor-in-chief

A small group of teachers stood in a circle in the University Student Union Ballroom as nearly 300 high school students danced to the pounding of a Native American drum to show appreciation for their instructors’ work. This was the conclusion to the first Ethnic Studies Conference at California State University, Long Beach on Saturday. The conference brought Long Beach Unified students from six high schools together for a day of workshops, panels and guest speakers. The Long Beach Ethnic Studies Program debuted this fall to give high school students the opportunity to earn college credit with a weekend ethnic studies class taught on Long Beach high school campuses. “What we are accomplishing here is a national model that I believe will be played out over the years to come in many other settings,” said Armando Ramos, CSULB lecturer and coordinator of the California Mexico Project. Ramos set up the program with help from the four ethnic studies programs on campus. Six Long Beach Unified high schools offer two sections of U.S. Diversity and the Ethnic Experience. The program covers Africana, Chicano and Latino, Asian and Asian American and American Indian Studies. The Ethnic Studies Program began as a proposal by Ramos for a February meeting of Long Beach’s My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge. President Barack Obama launched My Brother’s Keeper in February to increase collegiate opportunities for black and Latino young men. Ramos drafted a proposal for the program soon after and wrote an opinion piece for the Long Beach Press Telegram to gather support. Ramos then received the backing of LBUSD Superintendent Christopher J. Steinhauser to fund the initial 12 classes for around $1.25 million for a launch this past fall. This meant that Ramos and his group had four months to put together the program. “Nobody believed it; nobody thought it could be done,” Ramos said. “But I ran with it because I believed it was the right time, and when you are given the resources and given the opportunity, you don’t back off. You seize the moment.” The ethnic studies program was de-

he rhythmic pounding of drums pierced the air around us. A man blared his horn, more reminiscent of the feasting call than Dia de los Muertos. The woman called the spirits with a sound akin to a child’s shriek; the dead have returned. Children, dressed as the deceased, move to the pounding rhythm of the drummers while a crush of people look on in bemusement. It was time for the adults to join. The searing hot sun, feeling only feet away on this impossibly warm November morning, beat down on the bare skin of the dancers performing in front of the Museum of Latin American Art. Its life-giving rays contrasted with the scene

in front of us, a celebration of the dead. A procession led from the front doors of MOLAA to the sculpture garden through the center of the museum. Altars honoring the dead lined the halls on either side. A throng of living moved past the elements of death. Paintings commissioned for the event stood next to altars. They depicted beautiful women, covered in traditional calavera-style make-up that evinced a panoply of colors atodds with the typical depiction of death, black. “Dia de los Muertos is an indigenous tradition,” said Sandra Acosta, who built an altar featured in the gallery. “People forget that Latinos […] and Mexicans are indigenous and very much a part of the traditions that have been here for thousands of years.” Sandra Acosta, a founding member of the Protectors of Earth Mother, or POEM, an organization dedicated to protecting the rights of native people all over Latin America, spoke on the similarities between all Latinos and Hispanics. Dia de los Muertos, which is a Mexican holiday, is a celebration more related to the indigenous as-

LB aims to curb human trafficking By Jordan Daniels Staff Writer
To aid in the reduction and eventual minimization of human trafficking in Long Beach, the city began awareness training on Thursday that included identifying trafficking indicators, identifying victims and engagement procedures. The training is a result of the My Sister’s Keeper awareness campaign that came as a $1.5 million California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention Program grant. “The CalGRIP grant is aimed at preventing gang membership and gang victimization among at-risk females between the ages of 10 and 24 years,” the press release stated. “The project includes a human trafficking awareness campaign, mental health treatment,
housing assistance, and mentorship.” Earlier in October, Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said in an article for the Los Angeles Times that police forces in L.A. County would no longer be arresting children as prostitutes, but instead treating them as victims and survivors of human trafficking. According to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, human trafficking is defined as the transfer or abduction of persons through means of threats or force to achieve control of a person for the use of exploitation through services such as prostitution or forced labor services. The city of Long Beach sees human trafficking as a form of modern day slavery, according to the press release. In 2014, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center received more than 3,500 reports on Human Trafficking around the country with Long Beach reporting 17 cases. According to an article by Jonathan Van Dyke for the Long Beach Gazette, the Long Beach Police Department filed more human trafficking cases in 2013 than any other agency in L.A. County. My Sister’s Keeper is now a part of Safe Long Beach, the city’s violence prevention program, which plans to reduce all forms of violence whether it is bullying, hate crimes, gang violence, etc. The campaign will contribute to the goal of “building a safer Long Beach by 2020.”

Long Beach will be making streetlights kinder to both the city’s budget and environment. Over the next two years, city streetlamps will be retrofitted with LED lights that emit fewer carbon dioxide emissions and cost less to maintain. An estimate from program directors anticipate an annual savings of $1 million in energy and maintenance costs once the lights are put in place, according to a press release Thursday. Sponsored by the Los Angeles County Energy Network, an energy saving commission created in 2012, the streetlight revamp will take a little over a year to be fully completed. The press release noted that the first phase of the re-installment would take two months and affect nearly 2,000 street lamps. The secondary phase will last throughout 2016 and complete
work on over 24,000 lights. The retrofit program is one in a series of attempts the city is making to create a more eco-friendly place to live. “These LED streetlights showcase our commitment to environmental and fiscal responsibility, and will also provide better illumination, improving safety for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians,” Long Beach City Mayor Robert Garcia said in a statement. A Port of Long Beach Mitigation Grant for $659,000 is supporting the project alongside Southern California Edison. “Our mitigation grants are an important part of showing our commitment to being the Green Port,” Board of Harbor Commissioners President Lori Ann Guzmán said in the press release. The LED lights that will be used for the streetlights have a projected lifespan of about 24 years of life if used for 12 hours per day, according to the press release. The release also noted that projected lifetime savings for the retrofit are estimated at $15.1 million. The city projects that it will fully recuperate all costs in the span of the next three years, according to the press release.

veloped over the summer through CSULB’s College of Continuing and Professional Education. When fall rolled around, all that was left was to find out if students were interested. To promote the course offering, the program set up orientations for students and parents at the six high schools. Ramos said that the first orientation at Cabrillo High School had roughly 500 people attend and necessitated a change of venue from the school’s library to its auditorium. Each of the successive orientation meetings was nearly as popular, Ramos said. Yet with only around 300 spaces available, priority was given to high school seniors. “We’ve got different programs going on simultaneously; trying to get highly-talented high school students college-level courses with college-level instructors,” said Terri Yamada, the chair of the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies. Students will complete the inaugural semester of U.S. Diversity and the Ethnic Experience in early December, but the Ethnic Studies Program is hoping to add more courses for the spring semester focusing on a more specified ethnic studies education. Ramos said that the long-term goal is to create a minor in ethnic studies and offer enough courses so that high school students could have much of the requirements completed before even entering college. “Our campus has suddenly become extremely innovative.” Yamada said. For the students, they were offered an opportunity to make suggestions about how to improve the program. They suggested adding more guest speakers, selecting an even more diverse set of authors and making courses available online for students that work on the weekends. But when the students were asked if they would be interested in taking another ethnic studies class, an overwhelming majority of the students’ hands shot into the air.
Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships This workshop will focus on common communication challenges faced by college students whether the relationship is with a friend, romantic partner, family, academic or work relationship. You will learn the basic rights in a relationships; how to recognize the “Red Flags” and the cycle of violence, power, and control in relationships; how to get out of an abusive relationship, and/or help a friend. You will participate in self-reflective and interactive activities designed to help you learn and practice strategies to maintain healthy relationships in your life.

Progress doesn’t equal equality John Broadway Staff Writer
T
his year has been a momentous one for those in the LGBT community. With the legalization of same-sex marriage and the resulting Kim Davis fiasco, Caitlyn Jenner and her reception of the Arthur Ashe ESPY award for courage and National Coming Out Week taking place a couple
Coming out will not be easy until homosexuality is no longer sensational.
weeks ago, the LGBT community has been in the spotlight very much recently. National Coming Out Week is simultaneously a reminder of the progress that has been made regarding how homosexuals are viewed and treated, and that still more needs to be done. Unlike 40 or 50 years ago, it is no longer legal to fire someone or deny them a right to marry due to their sexual orientation. America has progressed to the point where the federal government will not tolerate discrimination based upon sexual orientation. Celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner, Ellen DeGeneres and Michael Sam have helped raise acceptance for those in the LGBT community to an all-time high. Yet year round, even during National Coming Out
Week, so many homosexuals decide to stay in the closet due to the social stigma that still surrounds homosexuality. Senior California State University, Long Beach communications studies major Kurcel Joseph is a member of the LGBT community. “There is still work to do in the hearts and minds of people in America,” Joseph said. “Yes, people are entitled to their opinions, but there is still a standard of reasoning and acceptance that needs to happen among people today. To be honest, there will never be a day when people are fully accepting of the LGBT community, due to people’s ingrained and personal opinions.” People are entitled to believe that homosexuality is abnormal. Statistically speaking, they are correct but normality does not always equate to righteousness, though. Slavery, gender oppression and religious persecution are all things that were “normal” at some point in society, but that didn’t make them right whatsoever. Those who view homosexuality as unnatural need to ask themselves when they decided to be attracted to the opposite sex. If the answer is “I don’t know” or “I was just born this way,” then isn’t it fair to say that people can naturally be born with an attraction to the opposite sex? Even if people stopped ostracizing and looking down upon LGBT members, coming out would still be difficult due to the condemnation of homosexuality by Christianity and other religions. Joseph noted this as a reason for why he felt unaccepted by his fellow brothers in the Christian fraternity Alpha Gamma Omega. “The two concepts of ‘Christian’ and ‘gay’ just do not mix in the mind of those that are a part of Christianity,” Joseph said. “Do not get me wrong, I love my brothers, but I also know that some of

them do not, and maybe even will not, fully accept me because that’s what the Bible tells them. Being gay is a sin to them. To me, I see it as a part of me, and who am I to judge what God bestowed upon me. I do not blame my brothers because they have been taught to see homosexuality as a sin, but I do wish that they could hear me out and see the issue from my side of the field.” Joseph’s statement is profound because of his understanding of why his brothers feel the way they do, so he does not hold contempt for them not accepting him. If Joseph’s fraternity brothers tried to be as understanding and loving as he is, then they’d see that his sexual orientation is a product of Joseph being the person that God made him to be. Asking a devout religious person to condone homosexuality can be difficult because of their beliefs. However, if Joseph can be understanding and loving to people who won’t even accept him for who he is, then religious people should be understanding and loving to those who are born gay or have different views than them. If religious people did their part to be more understanding and less ostracizing, then announcing oneself as someone who is born with an attraction to the same sex would not be followed by stigmatization like it so often is. The LGBT community should be proud of the immense progress that has been made, but the fact that there needs to be a week dedicated to encouraging people to reveal their true selves. Yet people still don’t, shows that there is still room for more progress. Once someone can state that they are homosexual and it is viewed as casually and stigma free as someone stating they are heterosexual, then true equality will have been reached.

the Dead. Hundreds upon hundreds of people filled the wing of the museum that bordered the sculpture garden. Here, children learned to draw, they had their faces painted and they were taught the meaning of Day of the Dead. “The day of the dead is two fold, […] there is a spiritual side and the tradition. On the other you have a playful side, the party side,” said Nalini Elias, Education Programs Coordinator at MOLAA. “It could mean two things: getting in touch with your roots, or it could mean… a fun holiday for children where they get to decorate sugar skulls and dress up as Calaveras.” Not far from where Prendez was set up, just outside the sculpture garden, an opera singer belted out a song that danced through the air and into the hearts of anyone who could listen. Hundreds of people stood in front of the woman, captivated by the power of her angelic voice. Not all knew what she was saying, but everyone knew what she meant. “It’s a day where you remember those that passed away,” said Jake Prendez, 39, a Highland Park resident and artist. “It gives us a great way to celebrate… every year you lose somebody.” Prendez added, “It’s kind of a conversion of Mex-Americana, a blending of Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos. We’re Chicanos, we grew up here. It’s a thin line.”

49ers claim Big West title LBSU heads to the Big West Tournament with a share of the regular season championship in hand.
hard. Our defense didn’t give them any easy opportunities and our offense scored when we needed to.” The 49ers (11-5-2, 6-2-0) had the ball for the majority of the game, beating the Aggies (9-7-2, 2-4-1) in time of possession, shots (9-5) and corner kicks (5-1). LBSU broke the scoreless tie in the 38th minute after junior midfielder Mimi Rangel found sophomore forward Victoria Bolden
who spun away from a defender before sending the ball into the bottom left corner of the net. Rangel continued to set her teammates up as she’d done all season. In the 61st minute, she found sophomore forward Jessica Vincent streaking down the sideline. Vincent shot the ball into the goal with her first touch, giving the 49ers a 2-0 lead. The Aggies came right back at the
49ers, nearly scoring a goal on backto-back header attempts in the 62nd minute, but freshman goalie Imani McDonald deflected both attempts, helping her earn her second shutout and third win after taking over for the injured Ashton McKeown. McKeown played the last 11 minutes of the game, getting her first playing time since she dislocated her shoulder on Oct. 16 against UC Riverside. The 49ers are headed to the Big West tournament as the top seed after UCSB dropped a 4-3 thriller to CSUN on Sunday. Although it was a considerable feat, the 49ers are looking for more than just a Big West conference and tournament title. “Getting into the Big West tournament is an accomplishment, but our primary goal this year has been to make a run in the NCAA tournament,” Rangel said. The 49ers will have a chance to get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament if they win the Big West tournament. If the 49ers don’t win the tourney, their record and strength of schedule could still be considered Tournament worthy. The 2015 Big West Tournament begins on Thursday, Nov. 5, with semifinal match-up between LBSU and UC Riverside at 5 p.m. at Titan Stadium in Fullerton. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.
LBSU trumped by Stanford
The Long Beach State men’s water polo team lost 13-8 to Stanford in the first game of its doubleheader on Saturday, but hung on to defeat Golden West College 9-8 at the Ken Lindgren Aquatics Center in the finale. The 49ers (10-12, 1-5 MPSF) trailed Stanford 8-7 at the end of three periods. However, Stanford’s goalkeeper Drew Holland’s four saves in the fourth period stymied LBSU’s late come-from-behind attempt. The 49ers’ matchup with Stanford was highlighted by a record-setting performance by the Cardinal’s Brett Bonnani. Thirty seconds into the match, Bonnani scored the first goal of the game on a five-meter penalty shot to tie former Cardinal Tony Azevedo’s school record of 332 career goals.
Bonnani scored five more goals in the game and now owns the all-time Stanford and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation scoring record with 337 goals. In their second match of the day, the 49ers came-from-behind in the fourth period to beat Golden West College in an exhibition contest. LBSU was down 6-4 to Golden West at the end of three periods before a five goal fourth period lifted them to a 9-8 win. Redshirt freshman attacker Max Cusator netted the game-winner and senior Dimitrios Lappas scored three goals in the match. The 49ers will play their last home game of the season against No. 1 UCLA on Saturday at the Ken Lindgren Aquatics Center.

The Long Beach State women’s soccer team ended the regular season on a three-game win streak and claimed a share of the Big West title by shutting out UC Davis 2-0 at George Allen Field on Thursday night. The 49ers finished at the top of the Big West, tied with Cal State Fullerton and UC Santa Barbara, for the first time since 2008. Head coach Mauricio Ingrassia attributed this season’s success to the maturity and talent of his team. “We’re deeper and more experienced than in previous years, a little bit wiser and a little bit older,” Ingrassia said. “I do feel like we left a couple wins on the table this season, but we’ve definitely grown as a team and I like the direction that our team is headed.” It was senior night on Thursday

LBSU cross country runs into top 10 Two 49ers finished in the top fifteen at the Big West Conference Championships. By Kayce Contatore Assistant Sports Editor
The Long Beach State men’s and women’s cross country teams finished in fourth and sixth, respectively, at the Big West Conference Championships at UC Riverside on Satur-
day. Two 49ers, juniors Kathleen Dunne and Emilio Nunez, finished in the top 15 in their races. Dunne finished 12th in the women’s 6,000 meter race while Nunez took home the 15th position in the men’s 8,000 meter race. For the women’s teams, Cal Poly took home the top spot, followed by UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, UC Riverside, Cal State Fullerton and LBSU. The LBSU women’s team had three more runners finish in the top 50 of the race. Sophomore Mikayla Florez finished in 35th place with a time of 22:08.45 while juniors Ashley Carrera
and Pauline Mandel ended up in 40th and 41st, respectively. On the men’s side, UCSB captured first place, Cal Poly came in second and UC Davis finished third, ahead of the 49ers. The 49er men’s team had four more men claim spots in the top 40. Junior Sam Bautista finished in 17th, junior Kevin Ramirez took home the 21st, freshman Andres Barragan ended one spot behind Ramirez in 22nd and senior Tim Bergstrom finished in the 37th position. The 49ers continue their travels as they head to the NCAA West Regional race hosted by the University of Washington on Nov. 13.
