California is in the worst recorded drought in history, and voting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? on Proposition 1 will be able to mitigate the dire situation we are in right now.

According to the National Drought Mitigation center, a majority of California is currently experiencing an â&#x20AC;&#x153;exceptional drought,â&#x20AC;? which is the highest intensity used to categorize droughts. This has been caused due by the minimal amount of rain and snowfall the state has received over the past year. Temperatures have steadily been rising due to climate change (2014 is the hottest year so far on record in California, according to Paul Iniguez, the science and operation officer for the National Weather Service).

Water sources have been so depleted that according to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economic Analysis of the 2014 drought for California Agricultureâ&#x20AC;? released by UC Davis, California is entering its 3rd driest year on record. With climate change continuing to affect weather patterns, severe droughts are expected to continue plaguing the state.

Basically, the situation looks bleak, but you as a voter can take action.

Proposition 1, if passed, would authorize $7.12 billion in general obligation bonds to upgrade the current water infrastructure in California in order to make the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water usage more sustainable. $2.7 billion of this money would be used to upgrade water storage projects, dams and reservoirs so they will collect more rainwater instead of it letting run-off into the oceans. The proposition would allocate $900 million for competitive grants on projects to prevent contamination of ground water; additionally, it would set aside $725 million for water recycling and advanced research projects.

With the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances in much better shape than a decade ago, now is the time to tackle Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water preservation issues. Despite the fact that Republicans and Democrats traditionally hold staunch opposing views on whether a piece of legislation is passed, both the California Republican and Democrat parties endorse Proposition 1. When it comes to necessities of life such as water, not even the most bitter of political rivals can disagree that our state needs to take action in making sure future generations have access to this vital resource.

If you want to make a difference via voting, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? on Prop 1 will fulfill that cause!

/%68 SOD\HG IRXU JDPHV LQFOXGLQJ WZR GRXEOH RYHUWLPH JDPHV ZLWKLQ QLQH GD\V The last several games have shown a troubling trend for the Long Beach State womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team and head coach Mauricio Ingrassia.

The 49ers are making a habit of coming out sloppy and lethargic in the first half of games. For large portions of the first 45 minutes, LBSU has looked disorganized and exhausted, as if it were playing the second game of the doubleheader.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something new. Winning games masked slow starts early in the season, with consecutive comeback home wins against Georgia and Denver highlighting one of their best stretches.

Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catching up to them. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer able to muster enough energy to win games in the second half. They can still come back from one-goal deficits, like they did last Sunday night against UC Irvine. But every time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming a little bit harder.

A major reason for the 49ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first half struggles is their brutal travel schedule. It began last month with a trip to Provo, Utah to play BYU. Just two days after the Saturday night game, they were back home playing Wake Forest. Four days later, they traveled across the country to Florida to play the University of Central Florida and Florida International.

The 49ers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t responded well to the Florida trip. They have gone 1-2-2 in five matches since, the low-point being a 3-0 loss to Cal Poly to start Big West Conference play.

Now, after playing four games in the last nine days, the 49ers will fly to Hawaii for a Thursday night game before returning to California to face UC Davis in Sacramento on Sunday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the travel that has worn down the 49ers. The 49ers entered the season with the toughest schedule among Big West opponents, with 2013

Ingrassia says the schedule is what it is, but he was visibly frustrated with other conference opponents playing softer schedules. He made a point after Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game to let reporters know that it was only UCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second game in the last two weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was two teams on different physical levels,â&#x20AC;? Ingrassia said.

This is the schedule Ingrassia chose, though.

It makes sense to want to play the toughest non-

conference opponents, hoping that a few good wins can secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament if they were to falter in the Big West Tournament.

But the lack of recovery time between games has put a strain on his team that they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to overcome.

Still, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a challenge Ingrassia and his players are going to back down from. Already they are looking forward to facing conference-leading Cal State Northridge in their last home game of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got to get through that,â&#x20AC;? Ingrassia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a huge challenge for us, but I think one weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be excited for.â&#x20AC;?

The last time Long Beach Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track and field team competed on its home turf was eight years ago. In 2005, the team was forced to perform at Cerritos Community College because the LBSU facility was deemed inadequate to host meets.

Track and field/cross country head coach Andy

Sythe said his team wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait another year for a proper track. The eight-month construction process of building the Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand new $3.4 million track and field facility began on Sept. 8, and is expected to be ready in May 2015.

After dealing with a run-down track for more than half of his 25-year tenure, Sythe looks forward to this new development that will allow his team to reach its maximum potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the NCAA, everything is about performance for track,â&#x20AC;? Sythe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to hit a standard, run a fast time and the fastest advance. When you get to national championships, everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based on head-to-head competition. So where we go and compete has everything to do with our abilities to advance to the national championships, so we want a facility that can actually utilize the wind versus work against us.â&#x20AC;?

Ohno Constuction Company, a company that has worked on the Seattle Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centu-

ryLink Field and UCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spaulding Field, took over Jack Rose Stadium at LBSU and is contracted for $3.4 million, assistant athletic director Roger Kirk said.

Funds will come from campus reserves, which are cumulative unspent operating dollars that consist of state funds and/or campus revenues (deferred equipment purchases, salary and benefit savings due to vacant positions, utility savings, etc), associate vice president of budget and university services Ted Kadowaki said.

Sythe said he believes that the new installment will benefit, not only students and athletes, but also the campus as a whole through ticket sales, opportunities for kinesiology students to practice and a place for athletes to train and be supported during competition on a field they can call their own.

This facility will be open to the public, including students and faculty members, and some stu-

dents having mixed feelings about the new addition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have our own field, more people would come here and we would make more money with ticket sales and selling food and merchandiseâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? junior economics major Rosa Citraro said.

Senior mechanical engineering majors Stephen Vargas and Larry Cifuentas said they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever utilize the field since the recreation center already has an indoor track.

Junior economics major Nick Sybirski said he prefers running outdoors, and he believes the team deserves this gift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I came to this school for a scholarship, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come here knowing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to practice somewhere else,â&#x20AC;? Sybirski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have a track and field team, they should have the best track and field. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, especially when the other sports on campus have everything they need.â&#x20AC;?
