EO guidelines may be risking student failure Executive Orders 1100-R and 1110 bypass faculty governance with sweeping changes ROMONA KIVETT

Campus News Editor

n the edge of the CSUN campus, in the ill-furnished cultural Omatsu House, hidden from the eyes of the school, Diego Paniagua lays on his chest across the carpeted floor, designing banners and posters covered in calendar dates and slogans. The 27-year-old is quiet, rubbing the bottom half of his face between his thumb and forefinger and scrolling through a list of dates on his laptop, his hair tied up in a neat knot on the back of his scalp. If you’d just walked in on him, you might think he’s working on a school project, but his notebook and pens lay dormant next to him as he reads out quotes to a fellow student cutting large rolls of paper into window-sized sheets. For this graduate student, the past two years have been more than the usual struggle of due dates and sleepless nights. Paniagua has spent his last four semesters organizing a student coalition focused on protesting the removal of CSUN’s unique ethnic studies course requirement, known as Section F, and the radical, almost overnight changes to the wider California State University system’s general education curriculum via Executive Order from the Chancellor’s Office at the head of the CSU system. “I think as students we feel we’re exhausted,” Paniagua admitted in a Sundial article. “We did two back to back years of protests and marching and we’ve convinced the faculty senate twice to vote no. We’ve rallied other campuses, we’ve spread awareness throughout the state ... And administration is continuing to do what they want.” Executive Orders 1100 and 1110, commonly referred to as the “EOs,” were introduced in August 2017 by the CSU Chancellor’s Office and sought to transform how the university system manages incoming freshman students and the General Education curriculum they’ll need to graduate. Rocio Rivera-Murillo, a double major in Chicano/a studies and sociology, member of Revolutionary Scholars and fellow influential student protestor alongside Paniagua, summed up the student perspective during a February protest hosted outside CSUN’s Oviatt Library. “So basically these executive orders are fucked up,” Rivera-Murillo said at a rally and reported by The Sundial. “And they’re going to affect our students of color, they’re going to affect our working class students because they’re basically trying to make the entire Cal State system ... very uniform.” While EO 1100 (now referred to as EO 1100R) has yet to begin instatement, the requirements and course structures of EO 1110 were put into place in the fall semester of 2018, barely a year after they were announced, effectively removing remedial math courses and transforming how students are placed in early English courses. “We just completely transformed general education because of a mandate by the chancellor,” said Susan Fitzpatrick-Behrens, professor of history at CSUN. “All of these things are being framed in terms of economics. If we could

actually move the conversation back to education then both things would be valid. We need both things.” For Paniagua, the students alongside him and a number of faculty blindsided by this sudden move, they were now on the frontlines of defending an entire department of Chicanx, Asian American and Africana studies courses, many of which are celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2019. Dr. Gina Masequesmay, department advisor and professor of Asian American studies at CSUN, said that during the original lead up period to each of the EOs, the Chancellor’s Office was providing no data to CSUN faculty about the effectiveness of these changes or how they’d contribute to the betterment of students. “How can you make these crazy decisions without knowing the impact, without having studies to back up why we do what we do?” asked Masequesmay in a 2018 Sundial article. “That is just like we have to do it because they tell us so. That’s stupid, that’s not being an educated person.” CSUN President Dianne Harrison maintains, however, that the changes undergoing implementation are founded in benefits for students. “We are trying to do whatever we can,” Harrison said. “We’re not just pulling it out of our ears. We’re looking at national trends. We’re looking at other campuses as well as our own. What seems to be working, what doesn’t seem to be working. Because there is no single magic

bullet that will help improve the quality and the experience of students in order for them to complete their degree so we’re doing many things.” The orders outline a number of changes to all General Education areas, known throughout the CSU as GE sections A through E that cover everything from English to lifelong learning. However, CSUN has another section in its unique GE program, Section F: Comparative Cultural Studies, that was not exempted from the demands of the EOs. Associate Vice President of Undergraduate Studies and Executive Secretary of EPC Elizabeth Adams explains that EO 1100 was meant as a consistency measure for the CSU. “(The Chancellor’s Office) would say that the point of EO 1100 was to have consistency of what GE was across all the campuses so that a student could transfer from any community college to any CSU, or from any CSU to any CSU, and have all the courses be consistent,” Adams said. “The F requirement is an additional GE requirement and is not part of the EO.” This meant that while implementation of 1100 at face value would indeed make CSUN a uniform institution alongside the other 22 CSU campuses, it would do so at the cost of Section F, a highly valued course requirement from the viewpoint of CSUN faculty that serve a predominantly minority population. According to Harrison, just having Section F and arguing its merits weren’t enough to convince the Chancellor’s Office to exempt it.

“Understand, see, every other system in the campus, the other 22 campuses, do require multicultural competence. In different ways,” Harrison said. “And so, for us to argue we were the only ones that did this, and this made us special, it wasn’t quite compelling. Because other campuses had managed to figure it out without an F.” In October 2017, in response to the seemingly imminent elimination of Section F, students at CSUN began what they called a “Week of Action” that included a boycott of campus goods and a hundreds strong class walk out. This led to CSUN’s own Faculty Senate voting to not participate in the implementation of either EO 1100-R or EO 1110. “We had been talking about this for several months about trying to keep F ... there were multiple campuses that were not entirely pleased with the Executive Orders, 1100 in particular,” Harrison said. “The students and the faculty who were protesting having to get rid of F helped provide some ammo for me.” As a result, the combined effect of student protests and faculty outcry led the Chancellor’s Office to back off of CSUN’s unique Section F requirement, creating a distinct exemption for the campus’s unique requirement. “The F exemption was a huge concession on (the Chancellor’s Office’s) part,” Adams said. “They did not want to give us the F exemption.

(It was kept) in a large part because of student and faculty protests. That worked.” But this was far from the end. While CSUN’s own Section F was exempted from 1100-R in large part because of CSUN’s adamant student protest movement, 1110 and the rest of the massive changes to curriculum, in particular those to writing and math placement, went into effect in fall 2018. This meant that while Section F remained, faculty are still concerned that courses within departments reliant on Section F, departments like Chicanx studies, Gender and Women’s Studies, Asian American Studies and Queer studies, could be driven to the fringes of curriculum under the reasoning that they didn’t fit into the new GE plan for the CSU. According to Martha Escobar, an associate professor in Chicanx studies, this was the Chancellor’s Office’s way of finding a way around EPC and the Faculty Senate. “Yes Section F is there, but by how they’re maneuvering all of this it’s still going to move folks away from our departments,” she said. “If you don’t play nice, you’re gonna get screwed.” Interim Provost Stella Theodoulou maintains that such a shift in where students are enrolled won’t occur. “What we’ve seen is that there’ll not be a shift,” Theodoulou said. “In the option that has been implemented, there will not be a shift in F enrollment. In fact there’s a good chance that F will either stay the same or we’ll see an increase in enrollment.” However, this wouldn’t be the only instance of the Chancellor’s Office allegedly maneuvering to enforce these administrative changes. As reported by The Sundial, a 2016 task force was created to review the CSU’s mathematics criteria, headed up by CSUN mathematics professor Katherine Stevenson. Upon completing their report, they were prevented from presenting their findings to the statewide academic senate before the unveiling of EO 1110. “The Chancellor’s Office told us we weren’t allowed to present to (the deans) because if we presented to them, we would bias them in favor of our report,” Stevenson said in the Sundial article. “I think by the time we turned in that report they had already made up their minds and knew what they wanted to do, and the report was irrelevant.” Stevenson says in the article that this left campuses to interpret the work themselves without explanations from the team that carried out the work themselves, leading to unintended results. While the Chancellor’s Office says that recommendations from the task force have been implemented outside of the Executive Orders and the conversations on the matter continue, Stevenson feels that, ultimately, the report was ignored to avoid cooperation with faculty. “If they had sat down with us they would have realized we might have been going in the same direction and asked us what we needed to bring the faculty on board,” Stevenson said in the Sundial article. “We could have gotten there.” Because of how recent the implementation of 1110 is, there’s almost no data on how it’s affecting student performance as of yet. But that doesn’t mean some faculty aren’t already feeling the effects. Professor Irene Clark, director of the composition program in CSUN’s English department, says that English 115, a basic skills English course intended for incoming freshmen students who are already proficient in the language, saw a record number of failures after 1110 went into effect. 1110 expanded the use and scope of “Multiple Measures,” an assessment system that, despite what its name implies, places students in writing courses based on their highest overall score in a single assessment method, be it SAT scores, ACT scores or general GPA, rather than their individual skill sets. “They pick the highest,” Clark said. “So if you have a B average in high school, and you’re great in math but can barely write, you go into 115.” Clark’s data (obtained from CSUN’s own Office of Institutional Research) shows that, in 2015, 1,638 students were placed into English 113, a slowed version of beginning college

English 115. By contrast, in the fall of 2018, only 339 students were placed there. “The data shows that there has been a tremendous increase of students being placed into (115) in their first semester. Tremendous,” Clark said. “Does this mean that these students are all way better writers than they used to be? They’re using different ways of categorizing them. That’s all.” Theodoulou insists that focusing on the failure rates of these courses is a misinterpretation of the data. “Record numbers failed. Well, yes, record numbers passed,” Theodoulou said at an April Faculty Senate meeting. “Because record numbers enrolled. So what we’ve really gotta look at is the passage rate.” Clark, however, remains unconvinced. “Say you have half the class that belongs there and the other half doesn’t,” Clark said. “Who are you talking to? You have to lower your standards. You have to. You’ve got a very vulnerable population teaching these classes.” Prompted by the early results of the EOs, professors in the ethnic studies department have begun the process of proposing a new graduation requirement for CSUN students: a mandatory six units (three units for transfer students) of cultural and equity studies they’re calling the “Equity and Justice requirement” that seeks to augment Section F. The requirement is still in the process of development and is currently under review by a number of faculty and department members before the Educational Policy Council. Some faculty, including history professor Susan Fitzpatrick-Behrens, say this requirement is more important now than ever. “We are diminishing the social sciences and humanities,” Fitzpatrick-Behrens said at an April EPC meeting. “That is a reality. So this is in part a response to that.” Adams is concerned the Equity and Justice requirement might be just another reason for the Chancellor’s Office to get involved in CSUN’s curriculum, however, the consequences of which might not be obvious right away. “They can be subtle and they can be overt,” Adams said. “Sometimes it’s money. They wouldn’t give us new funding. Or they wouldn’t give us our proportion of funding. And you’d never be able to point to it. They’d be too smart for that.” The timing of the Equity and Justice requirement’s consideration coincides with a new legislative one in the California assembly. Introduced by Shirley Weber in February, AB-1460, a graduation requirement for CSU schools would enforce a mandatory three-unit course in ethnic studies. “(The) CSU educates the most ethnically and economically and academic diverse student body in the nation,” Weber said at an April meeting of the California Assembly Higher Education Committee. “That diversity should be celebrated by the institutionalization of a curriculum that is inclusive and reflective of the student culture and background they serve.” The Academic Senate of the CSU’s official stance on the proposal is one of opposition, citing multiple procedural and structural reasons, from the bill conflicting with existing articulation agreements with public colleges from around the state and fundamental disagreements with how curriculum should be determined, CSUN’s own Statewide Academic Senator, Jerald Schutte, explains. “We debated all four (stances),” Schutte said. “We fundamentally do not want the legislature imposing curriculum. Unfortunately that means curriculum we agree with or we don’t agree with. To let that slippery slope happen mitigates our faculty’s control over curriculum.” As for the state of writing and math courses at CSUN, faculty will have to wait and see the student performance results at the end of CSUN’s spring 2019 semester. Until then, CSUN faculty continue to ask questions about the true efficacy of these changes. Harrison reminds us all, however, that CSUN is just one piece of the picture. “We are part of a system. And that means I can advocate, the faculty can advocate, statewide senators can advocate, students can advocate,” Harrison said. “But at the end of the day, after all is said and done, we have to accommodate what the Cal State system is.”

AS funded club trip to discriminatory state CSUN’s Robotics Club received private funding to attend a competition in Kentucky NICK GRIFFIN

Reporter

ssociated St udents funded the Matador Robotics Club’s trip to the VEX Robotics World Championship in Kentucky, one of nine states banned from receiving California state funds due to LGBT discriminatory laws within their education system. The competition took place from April 23-27. On Jan. 1, 2017, Attorney General of California Xavier Becerra added the state to the travel ban list because Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin signed Senate Bill 17, a legislation that legally permits students within Kentucky universities to cite religious or political beliefs in order to stop LGBT students from joining their clubs and organizations. California’s Assembly Bill 1887 prohibits CSU campuses from using state funds for expenses such as transportation and lodging in Kentucky but does not outlaw the use of private funds. The CSUN Robotics Club requested private funding during the weekly AS Senate meeting on April 8 and the Student Government unanimously voted to allocate the trip $10,000 from a reserve account handled by The

University Corporation, a “corporation providing commercial and administrative services to CSUN,” and “operates for the sole benefit of California State University, Northridge and does not receive any state support,” according to their website. The transfer was approved by AS Executive Director David Crandall.

“The AS Senate has informally voiced its support for respecting the travel ban,” said Crandall. “They elected to diverge from that stance because of the special circumstances of the VEX competition.” Nicknamed the “Matabots,” the CSUN Robotics Club was created in 2012 and has competed at the VEX Robotics Competition in

Kentucky every year since. Alejandro Bernardo, the president of the Robotics Club, has requested funds through the TUC since the travel ban took effect. The Matabots do not currently have any LGBT members. “We only go to those states to compete, but we represent CSUN,” said Bernardo. “California does

not allow funding to Kentucky, even though CSUN itself represents the community.” Sarina Loeb, manager of the Pride Center, was not able to comment on the AS decision on the behalf of the Pride Center. The TUC reserve account, titled “Special Projects,” is funded by endowments under the CSUN Foundation. Donors give broad guidelines as to how their contributions are distributed, but the TUC holds the funds until departments, such as AS, request it for a specific purpose. In June 2017, the Robotics Club was funded $5,215 through the Special Projects account, according to TUC. The following year, they were funded $10,277. “We will be asking the attorney for the Auxiliary Organizations Association for an interpretation of whether we can use funds that do not come directly from the students for such things,” said Crandall. After the AS executive director approved this year’s request, it was signed by Vice President for Student Affairs William Watkins. “The travel policies of Associated Students do not contain specific provisions restricting travel to the states on the ban list,” said Watkins, who approved the funding in lieu of President Dianne Harrison.

Arts&Entertainment Bedroom producer finds success at CSUN With technology so accessible, music composition becomes a practice made personable CHELSEA HAYS

Photographer

oyal Dean, 22, is a senior who composes and produces all of his own music from his very own studio ... which also happens to be his bedroom. Dean moved to Northridge in early 2017 as a transfer student from Moorpark College. He grew up with a musical mom and a doctor as a dad. Following in his mom’s footsteps, he learned to play piano at an early age and grew up in the musical realm. Going into high school Dean began making beats in GarageBand but as the years went on he became savvier. Dean learned he could create music from his piano and alter the sound to make it sound like other instruments. After figuring this out, he composed music for a few short films in high school which is where he really found his passion for music and knew this was the career he wanted. His first and possibly one of his most important steps was to decide on a school. In the midst of the pressure, Dean ultimately decided to enroll in a community college and work his way through. With heaps of research under his belt, Dean found his home at the CSUN musical program. “Hearing about the program, it was right up my alley,” Dean said. “It was exactly what

I was doing and it was exactly what I wanted to do and it was exactly what career I wanted.” In college, he took a class where he was given muted scenes and he got to create his own music. “What’s cool about this is that when we’re given it, it’s a completely blank canvas and we can do whatever we want with it and that’s what is so cool about whether it’s this, a school project or a real-world project, is that you can be creative and you can do whatever you want,” he said. Normally when a composer makes his music, there’s someone he can pay who will transcribe everything onto a sheet of scales for a conductor to look at when bringing the song to life, but Dean has learned how to create his music, transcribe it and conduct it all himself. “Coming towards the end, it’s amazing to look back at my time at CSUN and to see my progression,” he said. During his time on campus, the musician joined a four-man band and passed classes that taught him to apply conduct, composition and collaboration. Now, nearly two years later, one more semester until graduation, Dean has a lot to look forward to. This fall, he will attend his first internship which he hopes will ultimately give him the experience he needs to attain his first composing job after college.

CSUN Discussions: A look into Solange Knowles’ impact CSUN students discuss Solange Knowles’ message on blackness and her eccentricity DEJA MAGEE

Assistant A&E Editor

oming back from her critically acclaimed album “A Seat at the Table,” Solange Knowles’ career has been on a whirlwind. Solange has always been into music like her elder sibling, Beyoncé, and both of them have taken different routes in terms of genre in recent years. Beyoncé has chosen to incorporate the trap genre into her repertoire, while Solange has taken an avant-garde approach to her music that was previously a mix of funk, soul and R&B. Performing at Coachella two years in a row, Solange has catapulted herself from indie-soul artist to a mainstream black power artist with a truly distinct message, as seen from her combined music video for her songs “Things I Imagined” and “Down With the Clique” from her 33-minute short film for her new album “When I Get Home” released earlier this year. Taking each of the songs and their corresponding videos apart lets one be immersed in all the black Texan symbolism that is compacted into the short film. The “Things I Imagined” video opens up with Solange dancing with a fully-jeweled man, just as she is similarly. Other images in the video include black cowboys and blackrobed individuals walking to a circle in the middle of the field. The cowboys symbolize the dexterity that Solange is in tune with. “Seeing what they do to their

bodies for the sake of entertainment, which is something I can relate to,” said Solange at the screening of her film, via INSIDER. The interlude mixed in with the two songs features soundbites from Houston-born actresses Phylicia Rashad, known for her role Clair Huxtable from “The Cosby Show,” and her sister Debbie Allen, famous for being in the 1980s show, “Fame.” The next song, “Down With the Clique,” emphasizes the imagery of the black cowboy motif that is shown throughout the film. Solange’s inspiration is not just a call to her Texan southern roots but also the concept of Afrofuturism, the idea of trying to imagine a time where colonialism in the African diaspora didn’t happen. The footage of black women walking past Deloreans in “Almeda” could be interpreted as an homage to the originator of the term “Afrofuturism,” Mark Dery. According to INSIDER, Dery “coined the term Afrofuturism more than 25 years ago in his essay ‘Black to the Future.’” Two CSUN students talked about their connection to Solange in her symbolism and stance on black history. Charnelle Bethune, 27, a TV production major, said, “With both of her albums, she really made black people embrace who they are.” She also spoke about how Solange’s song “F.U.B.U.,” which is an ode to the iconic black-owned brand by the same name from the early 2000s meaning “For Us, By Us,” is significant to her. “A lot of people do take what is ours

and turn it into something else. Why can’t we have our own thing instead of making a twist off of it?” said Bethune. “For instance, the cornrows. They only became popular because Kim

Kardashian started wearing them and they were named after her, but it’s just like those are cornrows. I had those when I was little, but now they’re popular. I got teased for big thick braids,

but now they’re popular. We’ve been doing this.” Bethune also mentioned the musicality throughout the album and how she liked Solange’s overall artistic vision when it came to putting the fourth album together. “(‘A Seat at the Table’) was supposed to make you think, but this album, she just wanted you to feel it,” Bethune said. “Even though she didn’t have a lot of lyrics for this album, it’s supposed to be one collection vibe.” Tiffany Abodoh, a junior majoring in public health, discussed how she appreciated Solange’s differences from other artists. “She has a different style, different type of music, and she’s different in R&B among other women, and she collaborates with others who other musicians wouldn’t work with,” Abodoh said. “In her new album, Tyler the Creator produced three of her songs, and usually people don’t like working with Tyler because he’s different as well. I like that because she’s not trying to box herself in and step out of that. And that also goes to her black empowerment message too. She’s not saying you have to fit this label that black women have to look a certain way, she does what she wants.” Solange has used her platform to open people’s minds, see themselves for who they are, and has opened the conversation about taking a deeper look into what it means to be black and what it means to be a multi-faceted black artist that goes against the grain when it comes to the mainstream hip-hop, R&B and soul genre.

s the end of the semester approaches, many students ﬁnd themselves scrambling to raise their grade after a few months of slackin’ off. Others are rooting around in their phone contacts for people to list as references and request letters of rec from. They think, “If only I had a strong working relationship with my professors!” and then spend three hours staring at the wall in an unproductive manner. Don’t let this happen to you! Whether you’re about to graduate or are just starting your college career, knowing how to garner the favor of your instructors is a valuable skill. Bribes that aren’t bribes: The general vibe of college is “tired,” and students aren’t the only ones who are sleep-deprived. Ask your professor what their coffee order is and bring them a cuppa joe on a day of student presentations (which are always Bad and Boring, don’t @ me). They’ll appreciate the caffeine boost to keep them awake while students read off of a PowerPoint slide in the most monotone voices they can muster, and you’ll earn brownie points. Be noisy: If you don’t speak up during class discussions, the professor will never know how smart and insightful you are. They won’t give two shrimps about helping you out when your grade is 89.96% and you just need half a point to feel like you accomplished something. If someone gives their opinion and you agree with it, say so. If the professor asks a question, answer.

Sports Editor Tyler Wainfeld sports_sundial@csun.edu

Professors want nothing to do with students who slouch in the back, silently scrolling through their social media; they want to feel like they are reaching their students, and if you speak up, you are validating them as educators and as people. Bonus points if you actually research your opinions before voicing them.

Assistant Sports Editor Bryanna Winner sports_sundial@csun.edu

Pay them a visit: Professors are required to have office hours. Those office hours are long, empty and boring as all Heck if no one comes in. Break up the miserable monotony of your professor’s life by popping in to ask a question, or tell them you liked their lecture earlier, or gossip with them about other students. Office hours are a great time to forge a personal connection with your professor without the judgmental eyes of other students making you sweat with fear.

Assistant A&E Editors Deja Magee Elaina Tovar ane@csun.edu

Laugh at their jokes: Even if they are bad. A polite chortle goes a long way. And if you hate each other: Accept it. Make it a joke. Disagree with them, but don’t get pushy. As long as you are civil with your professor and don’t insult their love of cats and “Harry Potter,” you will ﬁnd yourself proﬁcient in working with someone you dislike at the end of the semester. This is useful, because most of your co-workers for the rest of your life are going to be awful, irritating goblins, and there is nothing you can do about it. Unless you win the lottery. Then everyone (including the goblin coworkers at the job you probably quit) will like you because you have a lot of money.

CSUN’s Students of Color Coalition List of Demands: We, the members of the Students of Color Coalition, stand in solidarity with the current missions brought forward by the LBGTQIA+ movements and other like-minded student organizations at CSUN (i.e. AASPP, AISA, BSU, CAUSA, MEChA, Revolutionary Scholars), to ﬁght for the liberation and restoration of historically oppressed communities. The SCC has identiﬁed a number of issues between the university administration and the student population.

We demand, That CSU leadership, along with CSUN, immediately recruit, develop, hire, and sustain more faculty of color. Two more Black, Chicanx/Latinx, or Queer faculty be hired each year in the fields of STEM, until the student to faculty ratio is representative of the student of color population. We demand, That CSUN rename the campus library to something other than that of a historically racist and oppressive figure to the student population. Delmar T. Oviatt was a persistent opponent to the creation and existence of cultural studies at CSUN during his tenure as university president. We demand, That CSUN work in collaboration with the newly approved RISE Justice Center at the new USU. In writing, we demand that CSUN introduce the Black House, the Omatsu house, the Women’s Research and Resource Center, the Chicano House, and the Central America-American Indian House & Garden into the University Master Plan. We demand the university, along with the USU, develop a satellite office at the RISE Justice Center in order to generate forms of funding, sponsorship, and programming for the spaces mentioned. We demand, That the university endorses and fully supports AB 1460 or any future support of legislation or policy that introduces more Ethnic Studies courses to the CSU system. We demand, That Associated Students at CSUN takes two official votes effective immediately as the 2019-20 academic school year begins: 1) An official vote of no confidence against CSU Chancellor Timothy White for the insensitive and racist nature that was used to implement EO 1100-R & EO 1110 at CSUN. 2) We also demand that AS takes an official stance, vote, and pass a resolution that supports AB 1460 statewide.

Sports Softball doubles record has a new name Junior outfielder Megan Stevens breaks CSUN single-season doubles record with 20 BRYANNA WINNER

Assistant Sports Editor

n 1994, Shannon Jones, then a senior, became the single-season doubles record holder in CSUN history with 17. Fast forward 25 years, and that record now belongs to junior Megan Stevens. After two straight weekends in which she was largely ignored, having been walked 11 times (10 of them being intentional) in the two series against Cal Poly and UC Riverside, Stevens was finally able to break the record with a 2-RBI double in the fourth inning of the Matadors’ 10-2 win at UC Riverside on April 27, giving her 18 for the 2019 season. “I think it’s awesome,” said Stevens. “I just wanted that chance to hit the ball and just hit a gap and get to second. Once I did, it was an overwhelming feeling.” Her coaches felt her enthusiasm and excitement when she broke this 25-year-old record, commending her work ethic to reach the level necessary to have this opportunity. “(Stevens’) work ethic is tremendous,” said head coach Tairia Flowers. “She’s got confidence, and she’s a team player, so it’s not just about her and it’s nice for her to get that payoff.” “I think it’s awesome for her. She works hard day in and day out in practice, she’s been working on a lot of things and great to see the payoff for such a great player,” said undergraduate coach and former CSUN player Savannah Horvath. “She’s got great heart, great attitude all the time. So, for her to do that ... it’s very spectacular for her.” Her teammates also shared in the excitement, congratulating her. “Megan is a pure stud,” said

totaled three for the weekend, one in each game of the series, putting her at 20 overall with three games left to go in the regular season. Her parents were among the crowd in Santa Barbara when she hit all three doubles during the series, though the first of them, her record-breaking 18th, was the most special. “I knew before, so when I found out, I just looked at my parents and smiled and just knowing that everyone was on my side, it was cool,” said Stevens. Her strategy for the season is emphasized in every at-bat she has: drive in runs with clutch hits. “(My goal has been) just to hit

the ball hard, do better than I did last year and I was really striving for a better batting average than I had last year,” said Stevens. “Honestly, I just want to hit for my team and get those runs scored.” One thing she does extremely well at the plate is shift the momentum of a game. As the number three hitter in the lineup, Stevens is tasked with driving in runs and putting her mark on each game she plays in. “Megan’s a hitter. She swings it well, she’s got good power and she hits for average,” said Flowers. “It’s been great having her in the lineup and create so much momentum for us.”

ELIJAH CARR | THE SUNDIAL

Stevens waits for the pitcher while up to bat against Hawaii at Matador Diamond on May 4. She currenlty leads the conference in batting average (.440) and RBI’s (55).

Last season, she had a .301 batting average with 31 runs scored, 51 hits, eight doubles, one triple, 13 home runs, 48 RBIs, a .584 slugging percentage and a .371 on-base percentage. This season, as of May 4, she has a .440 batting average with 35 runs scored, 62 hits, 20 doubles, two triples, 13 home runs, 55 RBIs, a .887 slugging percentage and a .542 on-base percentage. Since last season, Stevens has been making changes to push herself to get better and make results like this to help the team succeed. “Getting as much extra hitting as I can,” Stevens said about how she prepared for this season. “I didn’t take advantage of it last year and I feel like this year I’ve taken every single opportunity to get the extra hitting in and make me feel more comfortable.” Not only is she sitting at the top of the list for CSUN’s single-season doubles record, she has also moved into third for RBIs with 55, ahead of Beth Calcante from the 1993 season, who had 51. Stevens was the Big West Athlete of the Week for March 4-10 and has been nominated multiple times since then, though she’s only won it just the one time despite her incredible stats. She is leading the conference in batting average and RBIs, and is second in home runs behind Hawaii’s Callee Keen, who has 14. If things keep going her way, it wouldn’t be premature to call Stevens the Player of the Year for the Big West conference this season, as she has consistently been able to both produce in big moments throughout the year as well as strike fear in the heart of her opponents.

Lancers come back late to beat Matadors Matadors give up two runs in the eighth inning in narrow loss to Cal Baptist TYLER WAINFELD

Sports Editor

he baseball team’s losing streak hit four after giving up a one-run lead in the eighth inning, dropping a tight game to California Baptist University 4-3 on Tuesday at Matador Field. With the Matadors up 3-2 entering the top of the eighth, junior Cruz Daddario was called out of the bullpen and got the first batter he faced to pop out on the first pitch. It would all go downhill from there, though, as he walked the next batter and gave up a bunt single before walking his final batter to load the bases with just one out. Junior Michael Cartwright would replace Daddario, but it didn’t get any better as he walked in the tying run, forcing head coach Greg Moore to give him the hook after just one batter as the bases were still loaded with just one out. Freshman Blaine Traxel then came in to put out the fire and despite getting his first batter to fly out, it was deep enough to allow the runner at third to score, giving the Lancers a 4-3 lead. Traxel would go on to strike out the last batter, but the damage had already been done as the Matadors had just six outs to get back in the game. It wasn’t to be, though, with the Lancers setting the Matadors down in order in both the eighth and ninth innings, holding on to win the game 4-3. “We gave too many pitches away, gave too many at-bats away,” Moore said. “In the eighth inning, we just didn’t throw strikes with our fastball.” Senior Cassius Hamm got the start on the mound for the Matadors after missing more than a month with an arm injury. He was effective in two out of the three innings he pitched, giving up two runs on three hits, striking out two while walking none in what could be his last appearance for the Matadors. “(Hamm) fought to get out there, he fought to stay out there,” Moore said. “He’s pitching injured, in essence ... You’ve got to give a guy a lot of credit for going through the therapy sessions in the training room but also fighting to be on the field, no matter what the arm feels like.” Senior Theron Kay came on to relieve Hamm to start the fourth inning with his team down 2-0 and immediately calmed the storm, getting through his first inning with relative ease. In the bottom of the inning, junior Blake Doremus came up with runners on first and third and hit an opposite-field 3-run home run to give his team a 3-2 lead. That would be the last output the Matadors would receive offensively, though, as the Lancers mixed and matched their way through the rest of the game, using six pitchers to hold the Matador offense to just four hits while striking out 11 batters. “We gave too many pitches away,” said Moore. Though the rest of the pitching staff was subpar on the day, Kay was excellent, giving

up no runs on two hits and facing the minimum amount of batters in his four innings of work. He had his defense to thank for being so efficient, as both times he allowed a runner on base, that runner was quickly dispatched courtesy of some nifty defensive plays. “It felt pretty good,” Kay said about his effectiveness on the mound. “It’s always good when you have a good defense playing behind you ... The defense was playing really athletic behind me. “The cutter’s been working really well for me recently. I had a slider early on in the year and me and coach Moore kind of workshopped the pitch into more of a cutter. So that’s kind of the pitch I’ve been throwing a lot recently.” After the Matadors’ fourth consecutive loss, their record now sits at 19-27 (6-12 Big West). CSUN next plays on Friday, May 10 at 2:30 p.m. at UC Davis in the first game of the threegame series, with sophomore Wesley Moore scheduled to start on the mound for the Matadors. Game two will be played on Saturday at 1 p.m. as senior Isaiah Nunez takes the mound, followed by the series finale on Sunday at 1 p.m. with freshman Blake Sodersten set to be the starter.

MATADORS OF THE YEAR Terrell Gomez

Channon Fluker

Named to the All-Big West First Team in his sophomore season, the undersized guard proved yet again why he is such a special talent. Averaging a career-best 19.2 points per game, Gomez led the Big West in 3-pointers (117) and minutes per game (37.7), finishing eighth in the nation in both categories. Those 117 3-pointers broke the Matador single-season record and placed him sixth on the Big West’s all-time single-season list. He also played the most minutes ever in a single season in school history with 1,283. He scored a career-high 32 points in a win against UC Riverside, tying that mark later in the season in a win over Hawaii. With 182 threes made in his career, Gomez is just 46 away from tying the school record for most career 3-pointers made.

Fluker finished off her last season at CSUN with a bang, getting over the 2,000-point mark to become just the ninth player ever in Big West history to do so. Though she was unable to repeat as conference Player of the Year after winning the award in back-to-back years in 2017 and 2018 (becoming just the fifth ever to do so), Fluker did repeat as the Big West’s Defensive Player of the Year after also winning the award in 2018. She was named First-Team All-Big West for the fourth consecutive year, the fifth player ever to earn the accomplishment four times, leading the conference in rebounding average (11.4) and blocks with a single-season school record of 112. Fluker was also named as 1 of 10 candidates for the 2019 Lisa Leslie Center of the Year award.
