Continued from Page 1 “I had thousands of students looking at me like I was a hero because I had brought the acid tests right onto campus,� Jost said, “and then others not knowing exactly what was going on and just thinking it was this great show with all these lights ... and there was this great band, the Grateful Dead, so it seemed like a really good idea at the time. I didn’t understand the full implications of it.� Jost said that even before the “acid tests,� people would always stare at him when he walked across campus to the dining hall to have lunch. “I certainly was a social outcast ... If I had cared,� he said. He wasn’t kicked out of the dorms for the acid tests, though. Instead, Jost was kicked out for his prank with the

Campus smoking policy should be made clear to students On a typical day at Cal State Long Beach, a student can expect to see at least one person using an electronic cigarette or vaporizer. According to University Police, some students have even been using e-cigarettes and vaporizers in hallways and classrooms. The smoking policy on campus is modeled after Assembly Bill 846, according to the university website. A 2003 Cal State University memorandum that ur iew discussed AB 846 did not mention the prohibition of e-cigarettes or vaporizers within 20 feet of buildings and windows. Although neither product emits tobacco smoke, however, campus policy mandates that anyone using such devices be at least 20 feet away from building entrances and windows. According to Dean of Students Jeff Klaus, e-cigarettes and vaporizers apply to the campus smoking policy because a federal agency

as traditional tobacco smoke. Although we think that e-cigarettes and vaporizers are safe alternatives to traditional cigarettes, we believe that those who use them should adhere to the university’s smoking policy. Because inhaling vapor may be unpleasant or even harm some students, we support the university for including e-cigarettes and vaporizers in the policy. All types of smokers, however, should be respectful of their nonsmoking peers. Those who suffer from respiratory conditions like asthma could be adversely affected by inhaling vapors from e-cigarettes and vaporizers. Ensuring that students adhere to the smoking policy is crucial to
its success. Like skateboarding on campus, we believe University Police should better enforce the campus smoking policy as it applies to both traditional smokers and vaporizer and e-cigarette users. If caampus police decide to crack down on e-cigarette and clear to students and explain how students will be disciplined for violating the policy.
As of now, it’s unclear whether students who smoke in prohibited areas will be warned or cited for violating the policy. What’s the point of includings e-cigarettes when it seems that there aren’t any increased attempts to enforce the ban? If the smoking policy isn’t enforced, smokers will continue to ignore it. Doesn’t that defeat the policy’s purpose? For progress to be made, the university must be willing to back up its policy.
Obama should reconsider widespread use of military drones A pair of human rights organizations alleged the U.S. has not been entirely forthcoming about the actual number of civilians killed by military drone strikes, according to the Los Angeles Times. Research data from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch appears to indicate that some of the drone strikes were illegal under international law. “The tragedy is that drone aircraft deployed by the USA over Pakistan now instill the same kind of fear in the people of the tribal areas that was once associated only with al Qaeda,” the Amnesty International report said. In addition, the reports allege that the number of actual civilian deaths is far higher than numbers reported by the U.S. If these accusations prove to be true, then it is vital that the U.S. re-examines the scope and magnitude of its drone policy.

are actively engaged against the U.S. is one thing. Killing civilians who mean no harm is another. the military drone program has drawn negative attention. Controversy arose in 2011 when a drone strike killed U.S.-born Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. According to CBS News, al-Awlaki was a jihadist hane who created numerous propaganda videos against the U.S. Although the U.S. believed it had the authority to kill al-Awlaki, the facts of the case suggest otherwise. What made al-Awlaki’s situation different from other jihadists was that he was born in the U.S. According to CBS News, at the time of his death, al-Awlaki had not been charged with any
S
crimes. killing an American who had not been charged with any crimes? Yes, al-Awlaki’s advocacy of jihad against the U.S. was deplorable. Since he did not commit a crime, however, the act of killing him was com-
newell
To order the death of an American in a foreign country requires a high burden of proof. Whether the U.S. had such proof remains
unknown. In addition to the killing of al-Awlaki, drones have also been responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians. United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counterterrorism Ben Emerson estimated that U.S. drone strikes have killed at least 400 civilians since 2002, according to CBS
News. There is no way on can justify an accidental killing of 400 innocent civilians in drone strikes. While drones may be welcome for some, it’s clear their presence has cast a dark shadow on U.S. foreign policy. The newly released drone reports should prompt President Barack Obama to reconsider his approval of the drone program. As any other piece of technology, drones should be used responsibly. Instead of being used solely as weapons, drones should be used as tools to help the U.S. better achieve its missions abroad. Let’s hope the Obama administration takes a fresh look at a program that is embroiled in murky legal territory. The lives of innocent civilians depend on it.

heta Chi will host the ultimate Halloween club event, Party in the Pumpkin, on Saturday at the Seaport Marina Hotel in Long Beach. Like last year’s Party in the Pumpkin, the venue will be packed with more than 800 attendees dressed in Halloween décor, such as faux spider webs, tombstones, skulls, lights and a fog machine to create a spooky atmosphere. The event is for ages 18 and older; however, for those who are of drinking age, there is a full bar so they will never be left thirsty. Although the event is aimed towards

Guests can carouse over some Halloween-themed cocktails, like the “Voodoo Doll” or “Brain Hemorrhage.” And of course, it wouldn’t be in the true fashion of Haunted Hollywood Sports without the park’s three airsoft and paintball kill houses.

there will be photographers at the event to take pictures and costume contests for the best costume and the best-dressed couple, who will be given prizes.

the full adrenaline of the kill houses and lack the airsoft and paintball skills, the park also has its Evil Axis Paintball Shooting Range. This range acts as a preparation course for the kill houses. Guests feel safe as they work with their teams to shoot the zombies as they draw closer. The goal is not to let them reach the target point or risk elimination. As for the kill houses, the park has three: Zombie, Voodoo and Deadman’s Trail. If you’re looking for an adrena-
line rush, this is it. Armed and ready with your airsoft guns, run through the course shooting at the onslaught of attacking zombies. Designated team leaders guide the group, so it isn’t an entire free-for-all. Be careful where you shoot, because the airsoft BBs ricochet. As for the monsters, these guys are pretty scary. Back-bending, sliding, growling and of course the ambushstyle scaring — they do it all. Offering no room for personal space, the monsters get extremely close and are pretty unrelenting if you show any signs of
fear. The monsters at Haunted Hollywood are equivalent to Knott’s Scary Farm, only with less rules and more room to scare. Haunted Hollywood Sports will be open Friday and Saturday from 7:30 to midnight as well as Sunday and Halloween from 8 to 11 p.m. General admission is $29 and tickets can be purchased on the Haunted Hollywood Sports website at www.hauntedhollywoodsports.com/.
