Come Again No leaks in the Beach boat CSULB escaped the data breach that exposed non-sensitive student information for eight schools and 80,000 students in the CSU system. By Sophia Lepore Staff Writer

California State University, Long Beach officials confirmed that its students are safe from a hole in security that leaked information on students enrolled in a required sexual harassment course. According to a statement by the CSU, the breach affected nearly 80,000 students across eight other California State Universities. The CSU statement also said that no social security numbers, driver’s license numbers or credit card data was exposed. In response to the leak, CSULB President Jane Close Conoley addressed the issue in a mass email assuring university students that their data was safe.
At the peak of a heat wave this week, light showers visited Long Beach briefly Wednesday. The rainfall was due to Hurricane Linda nearing the Baja California coastline. Around 5 p.m., the city received 0.02 inches of rain within an hour timespan with 45 percent humidity. As the hurricane tapers off and heads westward, coastal residents can anticipate sporadic showers through the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
“If there was a breach at LBSU, we would notify you immediately,” Conoley said in the email. The data that leaked was through a vendor called We End Violence, according to the statement. We End Violence is one of three vendors that the CSU used to distribute the course across its 23 campuses, the statement said. CSULB offers the mandatory course through the vendor Not Anymore which was not affected, according to the university’s website. “We take the utmost concern to make sure that that data is protected,” said Mike Uhlenkamp, the executive director of news and digital media at

CSULB. The eight universities exposed were Channel Islands, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Maritime Academy, Cal Poly Pomona, Northridge, San Diego and Sonoma. “That sucks [for the other schools],” said Gray Bowers, a graduate student in psychology at CSULB. “Cal State campuses should better screen websites to see if they are susceptible to being hacked with sensitive information regarding students.” Students affected by the breach were contacted and advised to change their university login password, according to CSU system officials.

CSULB returning on investment CSULB’s arts and science programs rank among the top 10 in the U.S. for the best bang for the buck majors. By Josh Kang Staff Writer
Art and science majors at California State University, Long Beach rank in the top 10 for overall return on investment, according to a national report by Payscale, an online salary, benefits and compensation information company. The College of the Arts and the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at CSULB ranked fourth and ninth, respectively, in the company’s annual College Salary Report. Cyrus Parker-Jeanette, dean of the College of the Arts at CSULB, said in a press release that the university’s art

Physical and life sciences alumni reportedly average $45,100 in early career pay, and $96,000 for mid-career pay. “After graduation, the first thing I tried to do was find a job that could pay the bills, but also pay down my loans at the same time,” said Tom Nguyen, an alumni of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics who now works as a construction engineer. “It’s nice to know that alumni of CSULB are doing so well after school… It’s definitely reassuring.

Senate meeting brings new public defender, scooters By Valerie Osier Staff Writer
Associated Students Inc. Vice President Miriam Hernandez voted in a new public defender for the organization, breaking a tie at the weekly Senate meeting on Wednesday. A run-off vote between ASI executives came to a tie, leaving Hernandez, to vote in Yasmeen Gardner as the new ASI Public Defender. ASI also discussed new resolutions and received updates on the Executive Director’s Report. One of the resolutions will put motorized scooters up for rent to injured CSULB students. The scooters will arrive next week and are provided by donations from ASI, Disabled Student Services and Health and Human Services. Sen. Marvin Flores proposed the resolution to make scooters available to temporarily injured students after he tore his ACL last semester and found it hard to get around campus. Students will be able to go to the University Student Union or HHS to rent one after filling out paperwork for liability and paying a small deposit. The USU will have five on hand and HHS will have one available. The scooters will stay on campus, and will have no time limit to how long students can use them for, Flores said.
Also on the ASI docket: • ASI also discussed the recently replaced flooring in the Isabel Patterson Child Development Center Preschool. ASI Executive Director Richard Haller said that the flooring has not been replaced since the 1970’s. • The flooring in the adult bathrooms also had asbestos and was replaced. After the flooring was torn out, it was found that the electrical needed to be replaced as well. The entire project came in under budget, so they didn’t suffer a loss, Haller said. • The leases for the USU and the Student Recreation and Health Center have recently been renewed for 10 years. Previously, it was only possible to lease the buildings for 5 years at a time, Haller said.

News Waste into space CSULB compost program making it easier to be green. By Riva Lu Staff Writer
An educational campaign at California State University, Long Beach is encouraging more students to learn about the benefits of composting. CSULB sustainability committee Sustain U started “Compost Happens” in an effort to educate the university’s students about what things can and can’t be composted. “Composting is necessary and important because we need to preserve our planet and try to recycle whatever and whenever we can,” senior environmental science major Tiffanie Vu said. Holli Fajack, the CSULB sustainability coordinator, said that the campus is in the process of creatingaze-

ro-waste plan. Fajack said that a zero-waste working group is developing the plan, which will ideally include more compost bins around campus. Marinella Capa, an Associated Students Inc. sales associate for commercial services, said that ASI will also be looking into putting more compost bins around campus. Capa said that compost bins are currently “around every corner on every level of the USU.” The Sustain U program was created in 2014 after an audit was conducted in 2012, according to the program’s website. According to program’s composting page, the audit identified that 50 percent of waste going into the landfill from the University Student Union was food waste and biodegradable material that could have been diverted through composting. “You can basically put anything biodegradable into a compost bin,” Vu said. “Soiled paper products and your leftover food wastes are things that you can recycle into nutrients for gardens and agriculture. Why waste when you can just turn these items into potential space?” Composted waste from the University Student Union is picked up and taken to a compost compactor at the USU loading dock and picked up by the waste hauler daily. The collected material is then brought to a compost facility and processed into nutrient rich compost for agricultural end users, the website said. “Since resources are scarce, composting is a good way to recycle your garbage,” junior health science major Chastlyn Ancheta said. “It helps the environment by reducing garbage.” Ancheta said that putting up displays explaining what can be composted and adding more signs around the campus bins and would help students use them more often. “One person can make a difference, but in the end it really is a group effort to keep our planet green,” Ancheta said.

Staff Writer
Students and staff watching the live stream of the press event at the California State University, Long Beach bookstore had mixed opinions on the new releases announced on Wednesday by Apple. In the company’s annual press event, the tech-giant teased updates to the Apple Watch, Apple TV, iPad and the iPhone. Scott Vandegrift, a manager at the CSULB bookstore, said that the iPad Pro and the Apple TV were the most interesting part of Apple’s press event. “The iPad Pro is taking a direct competitor to the Microsoft Pro,” Vandegrift said. “It’s just like the pro – it’s a keyboard, tablet, laptop. The iPhone 6s updates seemed pretty standard, but I’m interested to see how the Apple TV will play out with the apps being able to play games.” The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be the largest Apple tablet so far. Apple also unveiled a smart keyboard, stylus, and Pro-specific applications for the tablet due out in November. Apple also announced two new smartphones, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Both phones will feature new 12-megapixel cameras as opposed to the former 8-megapixel, and record video in 4K. The phones will also use 3D touch systems aimed to make common functions more easily accessible. Both iPhones will be available for pre-order on Saturday and officially released on Sept. 25. The next model of the Apple TV will feature Siri integration and search capabilities as well as the ability to play several video games and applications straight from the console.

#LBTVirgin rides hard: ride along with Charlie
“
His hands, leathered with age and hard lovin’, cradle his book of horoscopes like they’re holding a baby chick.
Careful, he’ll try to get off before you do.
By Paige Pelonis Contributing Writer
In the moments that hang along 1st Street just before the bus pulls up, Charlie sits head down blowing smoke into the face of the thick black woman yelling at him for puffing on his cigarette too close to the curb. Charlie takes orders from no ma and no woman. Longhaired and stubborn, he waits for the bus and smiles into the face of a 22-year-old LBT virgin—or so she would seem. In fact, her first ride was the day before, and she hopes to blend right in with the crowd aboard the Downtown to CSULB straight-shot. Charlie’s smile—full of teeth paled and rotted by the rough life on the streets of Long Beach— rests on a tense line of lips as he marches military style across this newcomer’s face. He can see that she is unsure of which bus to ride and how to climb aboard. When the 93 finally revs to drive away, Charlie and his dirt brown duffel bag are the first to find a seat. His hands, leathered with age and hard lovin’, cradle his book of horoscopes like they’re holding a baby chick. Both palms face up beneath the weight of the falling-apart book as it cracks open and has a spine so weak it doesn’t fight to close itself again. Like Charlie, this book knows the theories of love and the patterns of the heart. When her single dollar proves too corrugated to cover the cost of her ride, the LBT virgin digs out a buck-twentyfive in change from a small black, butterfly-covered change purse that hangs around her neck The woman who hates smoking taps her foot from her seat on the bus across from Charlie; her hardened, darkened eyes carve into him like fingers breaking open the shell of a peanut before throwing it on the floor. Her high cheek bones
If you’re late for work, and you don’t know what the heck you’re doing because it’s you’re first time riding the LBT and that’s how you’re getting from point A-B today, this is a list of quick and dirty tips for your first ride. Once you catch the bus — the right bus! — give the tale of Charlie and me a chance to distract you from the rough road ahead. Here’s to you getting off at the right stop. 1. Yes, you can eat on the bus. It’s awkward, and there may rules against it, but no one really cares. No need to text your more experienced friends to ask like I did… Seriously, don’t do that, they’ll never let you hear the end of it. 2. Seriously, just go to Brotman Hall and get your Tap Card. Change is good at a vending machine on campus (because sometimes they decide not to accept your dollars or your credit cards), but on the bus it’s just so awkward and inefficient to try to flatten out your dollar bill or try to insert a handful
shift to the rhythm of her tongue and teeth sucking on her gums—are you allowed to eat on the bus, the business-casual, second-time bus rider wonders to herself. As if satisfy her hunger, Charlie offers his book of answers. “Are you European?” he asks, his voice flavored with a dash of out-oftown itself. Charlie breaks the kind of thin-spread silence that adds color to a 1st Street smile while waiting at a bus stop, and he breaks this kind of silence with urgency, and the laced-undershirt-wearing rookie on the bus shakes her head with a grin.
“Are you … a Virgo?” Again, she shakes her head. She tells him she is a Taurus, and feels guilty for encouraging the madness melting into the furrowed gap beneath his graying, two-ply eyebrows. The sunflower exploding at the heart of his clear blue eyes tells her not to worry—he’ll be leaving her soon, and she’ll be an unbending bundle of unbroken cold brew once again. Not too long ago, Charlie’s recipe for bitterness would’ve sweetened the nerve endings of this LBT virgin’s forehead; but as he promises her freedom in the days to come, and warns that a true Taurus is too bold for building bridges

in teams of two, she throws her stare to the street they are leaving behind and longs for the stops that are passed by. The climb from Downtown to the local university passes with ease as Charlie leafs through the moth-eaten pages of his book of love and life for his audience of one. He nods when she tells him, no, she is not married. He laughs when she says, yes, she is seeing someone. Charlie breaks her heart when he stuffs his light-green, barely bound book back into his bag and prepares to leave her. With a handful of winks and a faceful of grin, he tells her that he is

By this point in the semester, the Cashier’s Office probably won’t have too crazy of a line, and the Tap Card is free when you get it for the first time (if you lose it, it costs five dollars to replace). 3. Busses 91, 92, 93 and 94 stop on campus at LA1 and they all go from there straight to downtown—talk about convenient! I never lose my parking spot on campus because I can ride the bus from campus to downtown for work and back for night class, no problem. 4. Talking on the phone while on the bus: totally irritating and probably rude. The Jury is honestly still out for me on this one. What do you think? I’m on Twitter @PPelonis if you want to let me know your stance on bus-riders who catch up on phone calls while en route to their destination. #LBTVirgin wearing the same jacket today that he wore the first time he made love; he left it on while he rode because he wanted to break it all in at once. He brags that his body is still young, though he is a veteran of love as he nears his 63rd birthday. Maybe none of this is true, but she dreams into his wake as he steps onto the curb and wonders if a Taurus truly is destined to be alone. Unsettled, she picks up her phone to call a Gemini. The foot tapping across the aisle picks up speed to spite the soft laughter that dares Charlie to be wrong.

Tacography of Long Beach: Struggling to find handwork in a world of mass-production The hunt for the best taqueria in the LBC continues.
By Kevin Flores Arts & Life Editor
We meet again taco-freaks. Worry not, mijos and mijas, for the gastro-quest continues. As I make my way through the vast landscape of Long Beach taquerias—encountering the good, the bad and the ugly—I continue to contemplate the history behind this iconic Mexican finger food. When we last left off, we’d travelled to pre-Colombian Mesoamerica in search of the origins of the taco. Somehow we ended up in the depths of 18th century Mexican silver mines, unearthing the taco’s etymology. Today we’ll chart this most portable food’s migration across the border and find out how it conquered the palates of the norteamericano. Now many may lay claim to
being the taco’s welcome mat in the states—I’m looking at you Texas—but according Gustavo Arellano book “Taco USA,” Americans were first introduced to the taco in downtown Los Angeles. Olvera Street restaurant Cielito Lindo, started by Mexican immigrant Aurora Guerrero in the 1920’s, began selling taquitos—basically a rolled up taco that’s deep-fried. Copycats took this recipe and ran with it, and thus the hard-shell taco was born. Soon the first Taco Bell was founded in San Bernardino and Americans went crazy for their appropriated fast food. It wasn’t until the 1980s that Mexican immigrants began pushing back against this abomination that had been dubbed “authentic.” One of the first loncheras—or taco trucks—is credited to of Raul O. Martinez, according to Arellano. He modified an old ice cream truck, shoehorned a stove and a grill inside of it and began selling uncommon meat cuts such as al pastor and cabeza outside an East Los Angeles bar. So successful was this venture that he opened a restaurant, the first Taco King, and the rest is history.
Taqueria El Pacifico 1473 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach, CA 90813 Tacos: $1.00+ Inside of a bodega-slash-carniceria, the first thing I notice here are the heat lamps, under which sit pans labeled with meat varieties—bad news. The system works like this: You give the taquero your order then walk over to the register where you pay and get a ticket to claim your tacos back at the grill. I order two asada tacos and a carnitas taco.
The tacos are served naked, a hearty portion of meat on a double stack of tortillas. I like the DIY approach. The salsa bar has onions, cilantro, salsa verde and roja, limes, carrots—the works. There’s also a taqueria-style guacamole—emulsified and watery just how it should be. The moment of truth: carnitas are dry and on the gristly side, a direct result of the heat lamp. Any sign of the confit-style preparation that renders carnitas succulent is gone. The asada is sad, lacks seasoning and character.
The tortillas are mass-produced and decidedly not handmade. On top of this, they were heated in oil on the grill, imparting a greasy texture and giving the whole taco a funny canola taste. The standout among the salsas is the salsa roja, which registers a slight kick. I must unfortunately report that this is a classic case of quantity-over-quality. Let this be a lesson to taqueros across the land. You will never ascend to the heights of the taco ranks using heat lamps.
P hotos
Las Delicias De Michoacan 755 Magnolia Ave, Long Beach, CA 90813 Tacos: $1.25 This is a combo liquor store-taqueria you’d probably drive right past unless you were looking for it. More accurately, it looks like this place was once a liquor store when a tidal wave struck, washing up a taqueria and pulling most of the liquor store out to sea. The walls are mustard colored and the shelves above the register displays bottles of shampoo I must assume are for sale. I order two asada tacos and a carnitas taco from the lady working the plancha.

receive a Styrofoam plate with four “asada” tacos. Whatever, I’m hungry. The tacos are dressed with both salsa roja and salsa verde. From the first bite, I feel like my mouth has been flame-thrown. These tacos are spicy as hell and are not for the faint of tongue. The asada lacks sear and char and its texture and color resembles stewed steak. The tortillas are dry-griddled but unfortunately of the machine-pressed, store-bought variety. The tacos are overall pretty hohum and left me feeling like I’d been pepper sprayed in the face.

Street sweeping? Start weeping. Micayla Vermeeren Staf Writer
It is no secret that as lovely as Long Beach may be, the parking is absolutely horrific. Finding parking in residential areas without a guaranteed garage spot is most often an adventure in and of itself,
but the ridiculous street sweeping regulations throughout the city compound the struggle. Drivers can spend extended periods of time, a day’s worth of patience circling neighborhoods for sweep-safe spots. The unlucky ones end up with alarms set for 3:30 a.m. in attempts to outrun the 4 a.m. parking patrol. The city is earning over $13
million dollars in street sweeping tickets in the course of a year, according to the Long Beach City Council. Luck does not seem to be on the side of many. Families, students, employees and visitors consistently bemoan the state of parking, but there was a possible light at the end of the underpass this week. After years of resident complaints, Long Beach City Council voted on Tuesday to propose a $950,000 budget adjustment, removing the 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. street sweeping

restrictions. The proposal would also reduce the remainder of sweeping time slots from four to two hours and refurbish the 118,000 signs scattered about the city. Yes, there is an insane amount of traffic on the streets of Long Beach. Residents deserve to live in a city that has respectable standards of cleanliness and attention to detail. But, what’s going on is overkill. For all of our environmentally conscious friends, the street sweeping reform has platforms they can get behind, such as water conservation. With California’s drought rapidly worsening, it is not necessary for the city to waste water by cleaning asphalt nearly every day of the month. Although street sweepers don’t use water to actually clean the streets, rather to control dust particles from the sweeping mechanism, reducing the amount of time street sweeping vehicles are in use could save the city and its residents a substantial amount of precious water. Interestingly, an audit of city finances from 2012 showed that the
technology monitoring the payment of street sweeping fines was underdeveloped and allowed countless unpaid tickets to be swept under the rug.
The tragic state of Long Beach street sweeping may be taking a turn for the better thanks to the City Council.
Configuring the monitoring system to more consistently and efficiently collect payment on parking tickets would easily make up for the potential decrease in the amount of tickets. Hopefully the Long Beach City Council will announce the implementation of the reforms and make LBC living easier. And if not, any leads on where to purchase a one-woman hot air balloon would be greatly appreciated. If worst comes to worst and street sweeping maintains its current structure, I’ll be the first one in the air and off the roads.
Top 8 places to avoid on campus 1. Parking Structure:
Colton Maines Staff Writer
Not all nooks, crannies and go-to’s at California State University, Long Beach are glorious. The following is a list of places to avoid on campus and where to head for the same thing you’re looking for. Just better.
Ditch these places around CSULB and go elsewhere instead.
This dead horse could use a little more beating. All of us are quite familiar with this particular location. Parking is a nightmare to find in here and restricted movement makes it difficult to maneuver in the building. Parking lots near Atherton and designated parking at Hill Classical Middle School will usually offer better spots.
2. First floor of the USU: The University Student Union is the site where future college graduates sit, ponder and study. However for someone new here it’s a maze to navigate through, especially on the first f loor. The Nugget Grill & Pub is definitely the better hang out venue.

3. Smoking area in front of the library: The front area of the library serves as a place where the avid reader can enjoy a good book and fresh air. It also serves as the smoking area which would make that air somewhat of a coughing hazard. Sitting down on the nearby grass might serve as a better location.
4. McIntosh Building Elevators: The old McIntosh Humanities building, named after the second CSULB president, Carl W. McIntosh, has been standing for nearly 35 years as a rusting … I mean shining example of how far this school has gone since that time. Elevators for this nine-story building are not as shiny as they are old, rickety, and give a similar feeling to a certain California

up, there are microwaves in the same court.
5. Library Starbucks:
This bathroom is usually overcrowded and women have to wait forever in lines. The Language Arts 5 second floor bathroom is less crowded and offers natural lighting with its open windows.
We all love coffee and having a Starbucks at a library is like a match made in heaven. At least it would be if it wasn’t for the ungodly long lines and crowded tables. The Coffee Bean near the USU is a superior option for short lines and quality coffee.
6. Panda Express: I know what you’re thinking, who doesn’t like Chinese food? Well this is specifically between the lunch rush of noon to 1 p.m. Perhaps bring your own lunch and if you have to heat something

this season, and will prove to be a thorn in the side of a 49er team that often struggled to score in last week’s Triton Invitational. “We stressed a couple of things [this weekend], like trying to be emotionally stable and just learning how to compete regardless of the score,” Arroyo said. The Bruins have throttled both of their opponents this season with wins over UC Davis and Concordia, which totaled 34-8 in the scoring department. In their win over Concordia, 13 players got their names in the scoring column, showing just how much depth the defending champions are bringing into this anticipated match-up. LBSU will go as far as senior stars Zaccary Kappos and Dimitrios Lappas will take them. Lappas has 7 goals on the year and will have to be a major focus of UCLA’s game plan. The youth on the 49ers roster will have to be relied upon again to make an impact. LBSU goalie Pavo Ljepopio, who has already garnered 40 saves on the year, will face an onslaught of shots and will need to produce an incredible defensive performance to rival UCLA’s Danner as the best goalie in the game. The 49ers face the Bruins in the opening game of the UCLA Invitational on Saturday at 8 a.m. followed by UCSB at 10:30 a.m. and Pepperdine at 3:30 p.m.

the nation in Los Angeles on Saturday when they take on UCLA. No. 6 LBSU (2-2) will also take on No. 7 UC Santa Barbara (3-1) for the second week in a row and No. 8 Pepperdine (1-1), all in the same day. “They’re exhibition games, but It’s a great opportunity to play a lot of [teams] and see what we can do against the best,” head coach Gavin Arroyo said. The 49ers will see if lightning does indeed strike twice. Last season the unthinkable occurred when LBSU delivered a huge upset by beating the
Bruins (2-0) in the MPSF Tournament 9-3. It was one of only three losses UCLA endured and the last defeat they would suffer before eventually winning the national championship. LBSU, which trails the series with UCLA 20-73-1, will have their hands full trying to score on the Bruins with All-American Garrett Danner in front of the net. Danner only allowed eight total goals in UCLA’s first two games
