Student activists, who have had a relatively quiet presence on campus this semester, are focusing their attention on the greater community, according to student leaders.

Many organizing efforts on the part of student activists this semester have been focused on planning large-scale events with other campuses, including the college solidarity movement of Occupy Wall Street, said Krystal Brooks, member of Students for Quality Education,or SQE.

nly 63 percent of LAUSD high school graduates go on to college, 12 percent less than the state average, according to the California Department of Education.

Students in surrounding districts, such as Glendale and Arcadia, go on to college at higher rates, over 75 percent.

The national average is 68.1 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Jan Davis, administrative coordinator of LAUSD high school programs, said the data isn’t wholly accurate because it doesn’t factor in nonparticipating institutions.

“We don’t exactly know how the data vendors gather their data,” Davis said. “Some

schools, like UC Berkeley, do not give out student information, so kids who go on to those universities won’t show up on the count.”

The data also may not include every student who went on to community colleges, Davis said.

“There’s no indication that community colleges are counted,” Davis said. “That would greatly impact the percentage because many kids, especially in the last couple of years, have been enrolling in community colleges because of the economy.”

The new system combines data collected by California Longitudinal Data System (CALPADS) and tracks graduated students from Aug. 16, 2008, to Aug. 15, 2009, and the National Student Clearinghouse, which compares students on file to those who have enrolled in col-

petition to bring back Matador football was rejected by the Associated Students judicial court, which decided to temporarily refuse moving the proposal forward due to financial discrepancies.

The initiative, which sought to implement NCAA football, women’s lacrosse crew, field hockey and other scholarships, underwent a long process prior to the court’s decision.

The proposal sought to charge students $25 each semester, a fee that would increase to $86, to pay for the new programs.

A.S. senators Tuesday accepted a judicial court report that will halt the initiative on campus.

“They couldn’t legally put forward a referendum that couldn’t pay for itself,” said

A.S. President Amanda Flavin.

Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. William Watkins said that the proposal provided insufficient funding and details regarding the particulars involved with the introduction of the new sports, according to an email from chair of the student fee advisory committee Sharon Eichten.

In March, CSUN student Jeff Bens along with other CSUN students gathered signatures from 10 percent of the student population supporting the petition.

The senate is now facing the last stages of a petition started by Benson. However, they do not hold the power to pass any further legislation on the matter.

This initiative was the first A.S. received in at least 20 years, according to emails from A.S. General Manager David Crandall and Student

Mishima said CALPADS is looking into this problem and plans to fix it by next year.

aniel Santana-Hernandez, 22, grew up with the cards stacked against him, although he probably wouldn’t tell you that.

Santana-Hernandez grew up in Lynwood, Calif., near Los Angeles. At the time, Lynwood was an area that fell prey to multiple rival gangs and an ever-increasing epidemic of violent crimes.

While his older brother and sister got caught up in the gang life, Santana-Hernandez did his best to steer clear of that path, though he admits it was hard as his siblings and childhood friends had succumb to the lifestyle.

Santana-Hernandez was 8 years old when his parents divorced and his father moved away, leaving his mother to raise four kids on her own. She worked from early in the morning until late at night, putting the responsibility of caring for his older siblings on Santana-Hernandez.

He recalls feeling scared as a child, hearing gunshots outside his home at night and knowing that it wasn’t safe outside his front door.

At times his brother and sister would come home with bruises from being jumped and sometimes, Santana-Hernandez himself fell victim to the same fate.

When he was in high school he began working with MECha (Chicana and Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan), an organization that works to bring awareness to Chicana/o culture and issues in the community.

“Getting involved in organizations was a way for me to escape my home life and all the crazy things going on,” he said. “At the same time I felt like I was contributing to the betterment of my situation and others in similar situations. I wanted to see what needed to change and how things could be changed.”

Santana-Hernandez continued working with MECha after he graduated high school and throughout his career at CSUN.

in Spring 2012. He is a history and Chicana/o studies major and hopes to become a teacher.

“I want to teach high school students,” he said. “Growing up I felt that we needed more teachers who understand the youth of today. I had teachers who were supportive and tried to understand, but at the same time they still couldn’t connect with us.”

Santana-Hernandez wants to be able to use his experiences to help kids in similar situations.

He said he wants to open a community resource center in Lynwood, where he grew up, so he can be a resource to youth and an example to others that there is always hope no matter where they come from.

FACULTY AND STUDENTS ARE IN THE SAME BOAT, AND WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER Here’s a review of what’s happened around the CSU under Chancellor Reed:

263%

Increase The Chancellor has imposed massive fee hikes since 1998. Students have been paying more for less.

7% Increase There aren’t enough faculty to teach students as the number of instructional faculty has increased just 7% since 1998. At the same time, the CSU has added more than 60,000 new students.

Higher fees for students and poor pay for the faculty are two sides of the same coin. Students can’t afford to learn and faculty can’t afford to teach.

We won’t stop fighting the 263% jump in student fees since 1998. We won’t keep quiet about increased class sizes, slashed outreach budgets, and cuts to student services.

Fewer, overworked faculty means larger class sizes, fewer courses, less attention to students, less time for advising and longer time to graduation. In addition, when faculty are forced to leave the CSU for better pay and working conditions, the reputation of the CSU and the value of your degree are on the line.

Faculty and students both want the same thing, a high quality education for students.

On November 8 & 9, faculty members on CSU campuses will stage informational picket lines to demonstrate our outrage at the Chancellor’s lavish giveaways to CSU executives, massive fee hikes for students, and take-back bargaining proposals.

COME JOIN THE PICKET LINE! Join us in the fight to preserve quality education.

71% Increase The Chancellor has embraced an executive-first management style.

CSU campus presidents and other executives have received exorbitant pay raises since 1998.

“Our key goal, if nothing else, is education,” Brooks said. “If people are educated, then (our movement) is successful.”

Brooks said planning and awareness of on-campus efforts could use improvement, particularly for the Occupy Colleges event CSUN participated in late October.

“We always keep in mind that we have so many students on our campus and there will always be people that don’t know (about activist efforts),” she said. “But in this particular instance, we were unprepared because our action had to align with the nationwide college solidarity movement.”

“crashed” the President’s Summit in order to ask President Koester questions about tuition reform.

However, the Occupy LA movement has been one of the main focuses of SQE, Brooks said.

“If people ask, ‘Where are all the activists on campus?’

They’re at Occupy L.A.,” Brooks said. “That’s where our priority is. It affects everyone.

Being a student activist is just one part of activism.”

Student activists involved in tuition and education have emphasized the importance of organizing at the higher level.

Justin Marks, co-founder of the Activist Student Coalition, which organized the CSU budget-cut protest in March, said his activism is focused on CSU and UC organization of Initiative 1481, a potential oil tax that could bring $3 billion to California’s education system, according to the bill’s proponents.

Marks is also focusing on what he called the democratization of the CSU board of trustees and hoping to find stu-

dents from the Occupy movement to assist in this.

“To me, I feel like (activism) is everywhere,” Marks said. “When people don’t know about (progressive movements or) Occupy, I think, ‘How can you not know?’”

The challenge with student activism, Marks added, is the dense intersectionality of campus activists.

Marks, who is involved with the Black Student Union, SQE, Hip Hop Think Tank and other campus organizations, said activist networks tend to get very involved and forget about networking with other students.

Marks suggested that in order to connect to a larger group of people and increase awareness, the definition of activism needs to be expanded.

“Activism is not just protesting or asking people to sign a petition,” Marks said.

“Activism is working two jobs. Activism is passing your classes. The word is stigmatized because people don’t see the value in getting behind a megaphone.”

said kids may not get accepted into college because they lack college-level English skills.

“To get into college, you have to be proficient in reading and writing,” Rowlands said.

“Traditionally, in high school, the curriculum is based on fictional literature, but college courses are based more on academic essays and composition,

so kids aren’t ready for them.”

Rowlands also said the LAUSD is underfunded, causing overcrowded classrooms.

Adding the proposal of student fees to the petition forced it to go straight to A.S. judicial court for review. The entity deemed the petition valid in

May because it had 3,330 of the required 3,252 signatures.

The initiative then traveled to the student fee advisory committee in September for financial review.

Judicial court reviewed the committee’s observations and decided a referendum would not be valid because the project does not support itself.

Classroom on a mountain Postcards from abroad With George Taylor

I

t’s 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 3, and the alarm on Tom’s watch is blaring.

I wake up and bring just enough of myself out of my zero-degree sleeping bag to eat cereal with powdered milk, a meal prepared the night before to save time.

“What am I doing?” I think as I realize the scope of today’s endeavor, along with that of the expedition before and after today.

That was the morning of the 22nd day in the Waddington Range of British Columbia, Canada. I was a student of the 28-day Waddington Range Mountaineering course of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS).

I want to stay in the tent, in the sleeping bag. Staying in means warmth and the comfort that follows with satisfy-

ing such a basic need.

“Just get up. Once you get moving, you’ll warm up,” I tell myself. It’s the motivation needed to put on my warm layers and step out into the darkness of subzero temperatures.

After putting on boots rigid from the cold, I step onto very hard snow. With the crunch of the hard snow came the realization of how great this particularly cold morning is.

It’s a great morning because the hard snow means easier travel over the miles of glacier and up the several thousand feet we must climb if we plan to make the 9,110foot summit of Mount Chris Spencer today. It also means that we will have a reduced risk of avalanche, unlike what we experienced on our attempt two days earlier.

After several days of travel

Final push for the summit: The instructor leads the group of students to the top of the mountain.

to get to the backcountry, 12 students (later, 11) and three instructors traversed the Waddington Range from July 13 to Aug. 12. During this time, we covered over 70 miles from west to east on a variance of alpine terrain, primarily glacier.

I spent my first year at CSUN as a business major, but after becoming lost from my personal understanding, I had to search for something different.

I had enough money from a student loan to pay for the course and any necessary gear, so I made it a point to do whatever it took.

I finished the semester and informed my boss at CSUN’s Outdoor Adventures program, and told the school that I would be taking some time off.

My boss told me he understood and said I would be welcomed whenever my life brought me back, and the school told me I could take up to a year off without consequence. I was worried about how my parents would feel.

Though they were naturally concerned, they were supportive of my choice.

The first day at the National Outdoor Leadership School was fast-paced. We organized our gear, packing nearly 800 pounds of food for the 28 days, and rushed to catch a ferry in Vancouver, Canada.

The happiness and relief I felt at the sight of snow instead of alders was unreal. It meant a greater elevation. We wouldn’t be trekking through plants that pulled against our every movement anymore.

After taking small planes to our next stop, the next few days on snow were amazing. There were spectacular panoramas of snow-capped mountains as far as the eye could see, stunning peaks with aggressive lines and challenging faces. On these days, we learned the basics of safe snow and glacier travel.

We packed up camp and moved to a new location on

July 28. This was the start of student leadership on the course, one of the things that sets National Outdoor Leadership School apart. Students are given the opportunity to make all of the decisions. The next several days were spent with a rotation of student leaders to our next base camp below Mount Waddington (13,186 ft.).

We started at 7 a.m. one day to attempt Mount Chris Spencer and conditions quickly deteriorated in the hot sun.

After seeing a spectacular avalanche, we took our cue to return to camp. The next day we rested.

The following day we began a series of long treks to make our way out, taking one break day to allow the chance for ice climbing.

Our final two days of trekking were very arduous and long. The first of the two lasted 15 hours, until we reached a point where we had an open bivy, a one-person tent. We slept from midnight to 4:30 a.m. to begin trekking again by 5 a.m.

The next day, we traveled nearly 15 miles on a logging road until we were picked up by a strange but friendly individual named Chuck, who lives at a logging camp he purchased to host those desiring access to the Waddington Range.

I had my first shower in 28 days at Chuck’s camp on Aug. 11, and we began flying out on bush planes later that day.

Thanks to my trip, my passion for the outdoors has been strengthened, along with my understanding of self and a sense of accomplishment.

Before the end of spring semester, I changed my major to recreation and tourism management. I intend to return to school for the spring 2012 semester.

I am taking the fall semester off to allow myself the freedom to pursue the outdoors and outdoor career ideas.

As I move toward my future, I am grateful to have

had the chance to live and grow in the mountains. I can’t know for sure what path my life will follow, but I know I will always remember the lessons I’ve learned from the backcountry.

George Taylor took a year at CSUN and is currently taking time off to pursue outdoor recreation and will be back in the spring.

Weekly Column

Rivers not reaching potential in lackluster season Ron Rokhy Daily Sundial

A

ny top quarterbacks list with Philip Rivers placed high on it is now fraudulent.

Coming into the season, Rivers was projected as a top five quarterback, but what he’s shown so far barely has him cracking the top 20.

In the fourth quarter of Monday Night Football, the Chargers and Chiefs were engaged in a 20-20 lock when Rivers drove his team down the field, converting on a third and 18 to set up Nick Novak for a 33-yard chipper for the win as time would expire.

But the kick never came.

Before trying the field goal, the Chargers elected to center the ball so Novak could have a perfectly aligned kick, but Rivers fumbled the ensuing snap and the Chiefs recovered -- a mistake that sent the game into overtime and cost them the win.

Rivers’ untimely gaffe wasn’t his only mishap of the game: he finished with 369 yards, no touchdowns, and two first-quarter interceptions.

This kind of play has been common for Rivers -- he’s only thrown seven touchdowns on the season, but has somehow managed to turn the ball over 14 times (11 interceptions, three lost fumbles).

So how bad have things been going for Rivers, exactly? Well, let’s put it this way: Matt Hasselbeck has a

higher QB rating so far, and he plays for the Titans.

It’s safe to say Rivers isn’t playing up to his potential, but there are overlooked quarterbacks who are surging and surprising everyone with their excellent play. If things continue this way, Rivers might find himself surpassed.

Alex Smith (San Fransisco 49ers)

To put it bluntly: Smith has had an awful career. Branded as a bust after being drafted first overall in 2005, Smith has put up sub-par numbers his entire career, winning only 20 games until the end of 2010. His career passer rating is a laughable 74.7, and he’s barely thrown more touchdowns than interceptions, as his current ratio stands at 60-55.

But the start of this season changed everything. Uncharacteristically, Smith has lead his team to a 6-1 start, their best record in over a decade, completing a blazing 63.2 percent of his passes for nine touchdowns and only two interceptions.

Although he only throws for 182 yards-per-game, his passer rating of 95.7 is a career high.

Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers)

If there were any doubts Newton could play in the NFL, they’re gone now. Newton’s numbers are off-thecharts -- he’s thrown nearly 2400 yards to go along with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, Newton has also rushed for 319 yards

Courtesy of MCT

Philip Rivers (17) threw two interceptions and no touchdowns in the Chargers' loss against the Chiefs.

and seven touchdowns, meaning he’s accounted for 70 percent of his entire team’s points.

Quite simply: Newton is a stud. He can throw, he can pass, and he’s only 22-years-old. It’s only a matter of time before he jettisons well-respected players for their spots on top quarterback lists, but there’s one thing he hasn’t quite figured out yet: how to win. But the losses can’t all be attrib-

uted to him -- Newton has shown he can march down the field when needed, it’s not his fault his defense allows over 25 points-per-game and his kicker can’t put in chippers.

Jay Cutler (Chicago Bears)

Cutler has had a tough couple of years with the Bears: his first season with them he threw 26 interceptions, averaged only 6.6 yards-per-throw and had an abysmal passer rating of 76.8.

The very next year, his manhood and toughness were questioned by fans and other players alike after he left the NFC championship game against the Packers with a knee injury.

His third season with the Bears has been pretty decent so far. He’s led them to a 4-3 start throwing for 241 yards-pergame and nine touchdowns. His passer rating, while not amazing, eclipses Rivers’ by four points.

Season-ending walk-off Matadors eliminated from playoff contention, lose to UCSB in 2OT anthony carpio daily sundial

F

or the fourth time this season the Matadors lost in overtime, but this time it cost them the season.

To make matters worse, CSUN eliminated itself from playoff contention on an own goal with only 19 seconds left in the second overtime period against UC Santa Barbara as the Matadors fell to the Gauchos 3-2 Tuesday night at Matador Soccer Field and missed the Big West Tournament for the second consecutive season.

“I don’t know what it is,” midfielder and co-captain Rafael Garcia said. “I don’t know if it’s a fucking curse or what the fuck, you know? Like (CSUN head coach Terry Davila) says, we deserve good things in our lives.”

It was a valiant effort by Davila and his squad, but it wasn’t enough. After playing with 10 men since the 55th minute and down 2-1, CSUN (7-8-3, 3-4-2 Big West) scored an equalizing goal in the 89th minute to keep its season alive.

The own goal was knocked in by Matador defender Luis Gutierrez, as he tried to clear the ball away from the net, but instead sent it into the back in the 110th minute.

CSUN owns an overtime

record of 0-4-3 and a win from one of the extra period games could have changed its season.

"Losing to Riverside the last couple of minutes, losing to Davis in the last couple of minutes; those are the games we should have had. Those were our games," Davila said about CSUN’s inability to win in close games. "It was a valiant effort to stay in the game. There's a lot riding on this game, but we didn't lose it tonight. The Davis and Riverside games are when we lost the Big West playoffs."

The match was physical, with two yellow cards and a red card given to CSUN, and one yellow card to UCSB (12-5-1, 5-4). Matador midfielder Rene Anguiano received his red card after going for a 50-50 challenge with Gaucho midfielder Fifi Baiden that resulted in Baiden being carried off the pitch.

“It was too quick of a red card,” Davila said. “I was just done by the bench and the referee had to make a decision. He made it, and I don’t blame him for making it. It’s tough.”

CSUN lost two key defenders in the first half.

Israeli defender Yuval Barak had to be taken of the match after sustaining a cut to the head. Senior Jeremy Hohn replaced Barak, but found himself being carried off the pitch after UCSB midfielder

Rey Ezra-Simbwa gave him a hard tackle, which earned himself a yellow card in the 36th minute.

Gaucho midfielder Josue Madueno scored the first goal of the match, putting UCSB up 1-0 in the 17th minute. Forward Sam Garza’s through ball found Madueno in the box and junior

found the back of the net.

Matador midfielder Alberto Rosas found the equalizer for CSUN in the 44th minute. Defender Taylor Bowlin cross was deflected by a Gaucho defender and ended up at the feet of Rosas.

At that point, the sophomore squared up and attempted a powerful shot

from about 25 yards out. It made its way out of UCSB goalkeeper Andre Grandt’s hands and put Northridge on the board.

Filled with emotion about the loss, co-captain Joe Franco couldn’t find the right words to express his feelings.

“I mean shoot…damn. Oh my god. I don’t know,” he

spotlight

said. “I don’t know what else you’re supposed to do to get a win. But it is what it is.”

With the win, UC Santa Barbara clinched a spot in the four-team Big West Tournament.

CSUN now plays a meaningless game at Cal State Fullerton on Saturday to end the season.
