CSUF will have a food pantry Chancellor

Students will have permanent access to free groceries on campus. JESSICA BENDA Editor

The Associated Students Inc. Board of Directors voted unanimously to pass a resolution that will establish a permanent food pantry on the Cal State Fullerton campus. Logistics, such as the location and cost of the pantry will be determined in future months. “By having all of the current people vote on it, especially unanimously, it shows the actual support and need from our school, which is a really big deal because we haven’t been able to get to this point so far,” said Lorren Baker, chair on the ASI board. Though the resolution is the first of several steps, it is

critical to establish the need for a pantry, Baker added. Last year, a California State University study found that 41.6% reported experiencing food insecurity. Nineteen CSU schools have a permanent space for students to pick up free groceries, leaving CSUF as one of four CSUs without one. “All the other campuses are ten steps ahead, and we’re still lagging along back here, so even just to be level with the rest of the CSU students so we can move together as a whole is very imperative for the whole CSU system,” said Tori Hust, ASI’s chief governmental oﬃcer. The food pantry will provide a space for students struggling with food insecurity to pick up free groceries. Though CSUF established a mobile food pantry last fall that provides free

monthly groceries every month, a starting step to its first permanent food pantry. Keya Allen, ASI executive director, said she wants to ensure the future space is properly equipped and that students feel welcomed. “You should be able to have fresh fruits and vegetables every day. You should be able to have access to food and water and a variety of foods that are healthy, instead of what’s the cheapest and what you can or cannot aﬀord,” Allen said. ASI Vice President Mansi Kalra noted that many local community colleges and CSUF feeder schools already have permanent food pantries in place, including Fullerton College, Orange Coast College and Santiago Canyon College. Several staﬀ members and students attended the meeting to voice their support for the food

pantry. Among them was Associate Vice President of Student Aﬀairs Dave Edwards, who encouraged students to vote in favor of the resolution. “It was about four years ago when I was working with the board here that I was asked to chair a task force, and we found that the number one recommendation from that task force was the creation of a food pantry,” Edwards said. Baker and Allen said this resolution should be one step closer to not only helping students, but destigmatizing food insecurity. “First, we need to show the need for (a food pantry), then we need to start educating, then we have to be addressing people and giving them the help they need,” Baker said. “And then hopefully, someday down the road, there isn’t going to be a need for a food pantry.”

The CSU Board of Trustees is looking for a new leader to fill Tim White’s role. STEPHANIE DELATEUR Asst. Editor

The California State University Board of Trustees held an open forum at Sacramento State University on Tuesday to discuss the appointment of the next CSU chancellor. After eight years, Chancellor Timothy White announced his retirement last month at the end of the 2019-20 academic year. Adam Day, chairman of the board has appointed trustees to a committee responsible for conducting a national search for the next CSU chancellor. “You’ve got a hard task in front of you. You’ve got to find somebody better than Tim. And so you’re challenged to do that, and we want it to happen. But we’ve got the right group of leaders to do it,” said Robert Nelsen, president of Sacramento State. Seventeen audience members took turns at the microphone, voicing the requirements and qualities they wanted the new chancellor to have. Some topics of discussion were inclusion and diversity, the counselor-to-student ratio and the representation of the overall student population. SEE CSU

CSUF men’s basketball will end its three-game road trip against Wyoming. BILLY HUYNH Asst. Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team will try to snap their losing streak Wednesday when they face the University of Wyoming — a team the Titans have never beat. Wednesday’s matchup in Laramie, Wyoming is the final stop of a three-game road trip to begin the season for the Titans. The Titans are 0-2 to start the season and are coming off a 7054 defeat to Stanford. Sophomore guard Wayne Arnold led CSUF with 14 points and graduate transfer Brandon Kamga provided the scoring punch off the bench with 10 points. The Titans lowered the deficit to seven points early in the second half, but were overwhelmed by the defensive intensity of Stanford guards Tyrell Terry and Daejon Davis. Terry’s 10 points in the second half helped ensure that the Titan comeback fell short. Offensive struggles have plagued the Titans as they rank 331st in the nation in scoring offense averaging 56 points per game. SEE HOOP

The Begovich Gallery in the College of the Arts is displaying nearly 50 years of artwork from its permanent collection through the exhibit, “A Place for Everything And Everything in its Place.” The exhibit, which opened on Sept. 7, displays work from renowned artists including Andy Warhol, Laurie Lipton, Robert Rauschenberg and Masami Teraoka. In addition, the gallery features work from former Cal State Fullerton faculty John Leighton and alumni Patrick Nagel and Ann Phong. “It’s pretty evident that we have a good collection of well-known artists,” said Jennifer Frias, the director of the Begovich Gallery. “If you’ve ever taken art history, a lot of these names are in your art history books.” The art collection features art from all around the world, with Teraoka’s pieces reflecting his Japanese heritage and Lipton’s work drawing from European influences throughout her 36 years abroad. Born in New York in 1953, Lipton began drawing at four. She was the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania with an honors degree of fine arts in drawing.

ASI treasurer juggles leadership roles Brittany Cook is a vice president, peer mentor and student assistant. MARIAH SANCHEZ Editor

Brittany Cook is currently a part of the Board of Directors as the Associated Students secretary and treasurer, vice president for the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, a peer mentor for the Think Like Einstein program and a student assistant for the history department. While she puts on many different hats, she credits her ability to do everything at the same time to strategic planning. Cook regards her position as a representative for the college with sincerity. “She is always willing to advocate for others, and making sure everyone feels represented,” Sherman said. “I think she does a good idea of making sure she advocates for our college, as well as other people who aren’t represented as others on campus.” While Cook has a strong passion for her college, another goal for her is to be more transparent in ASI proceedings because some students are unaware of issues and events on campus. Going forward, Cook wants to focus on a more balanced allocation of funds across ASI and the Inter-Club Council. “They’re allocated in a way that makes the greatest impact on students,” Cook said. “Even as we’re experiencing this semester, some organizations, some (councils) have more than they need and some others have a lot less than they need to get the job done.” Cook is a biology major with

an emphasis in plant biology. She plans to attend graduate school and a Ph.D. program where she will continue to learn how to make horticulture and agriculture more sustainable. Cook decided to attend Cal State Fullerton after she attended a welcome day event. Cook was originally torn between CSUF and Cal Poly Pomona, but after feeling truly welcomed and wanted at the event, she made her decision to be a Titan. “I think at its core, I love the opportunities of Cal State Fullerton,” Cook said. “I feel like everyone is trying to help you out. There are so many resources on campus that can help you get involved, help you

personally, help you financially, help you academically. It’s just overwhelming support and involvement.” Cook was homeschooled from birth to high school, and said she disputes the typical stereotypes for homeschooled kids by being sociable, intelligent and involved in her college. However, Cook found the transition from non-traditional schooling to the classroom setting diﬃcult during her first semester. “Basically, school was new to me. In a way, I guess, it was the first time I was coming to school,” Cook said. “I think I made pretty good adjustments, I think it took probably a full year to really adjust.”

Cook felt her adjustment was quick by being an orientation leader the semester before her sophomore year. During this time, Cook met Jessica Sherman, now a close friend, who was also an orientation leader. The two grew together, taking on leadership positions within the College of Natural Science and Mathematics. “When I was giving her the position, I felt really confident that she could do the position well and she has exceeded my expectations, and other people’s expectations as well,” Sherman said. Along with loving to give back to her school and being a representative, Cook expresses her creativity by spending her

free time on creating costumes based on anime characters. Cook said that she grew up on Studio Ghibli movies like “Kiki’s Delivery Service,” “Totoro” and “Spirited Away,” and associates these movies as being ingrained in her personality. “A different passion of mine is theater. If I couldn’t be a biology major I would’ve been a theater major. So I feel like cosplay is filling an outlet for becoming a character,” Cook said. Her first costumes were created mostly with fabric, but now she is starting to shift toward armored costumes, incorporating foam and LED lights. Cook has never created a whole costume from scratch, but it is an ambition of hers for the future. Furthermore, Cook has enjoyed attending Titancon every semester since 2016. She is also a peer mentor for the Think like Einstein program, a 16-week course which incoming freshmen can improve on critical thinking, argumentation and reasoning to prepare them for math and science courses. As she went through struggles in her first year at CSUF, Cook offers help to freshman from her personal experiences. “As a peer mentor, I know since I was in that position, just a few words of encouragement can really make a world of a difference. I’m hoping that I can give that, I’m hoping that I can create the next me,” Cook said. Through all her involvement on campus, Cook has grown out of the timid and quiet girl she once was when she first came to CSUF. “I feel like she was a small seed at Cal State Fullerton, and now she is a beautiful flower,” Sherman said.

Preserving the Muslim American identity The Muslim Student Association discussed Islamic faith last week. HOSAM ELATTAR Editor

WENDY CHAVEZ Staff Writer

The Muslim Student Association held a discussion on the topic of Muslim American identity in the Titan Student Union on Nov. 7. The goal of the event was to educate students and build a community for Muslims at Cal State Fullerton. “We’ve been trying to grow the MSA. We want to cultivate the Muslim environment for Muslims on campus and to raise awareness and bring important issues to the public eye,” said Abed Nahhas, the club’s event planner. Guest speaker Muhammad Ataya presented the topic, “Perserving the Muslim American Identity,” which highlighted the importance of unity among the Muslim community. Ataya works with Islamic nonprofits to reach the youth through lectures. “The best way to preserve the Muslim American identity is

twofold. The first is, internally, we need to unite around the correct belief,” Ataya said. “The second step is to reclaim those sources of Islamic identity, such as praying five times a day, wearing the Islamic clothing, wearing the hijab if a woman wants to wear the hijab.” He added that explaining Islamic practices to others, such as why and how Muslims pray, is part of reclaiming the Muslim American identity. Ataya also discussed the perception of Muslims in America and how it is shaped by media portrayals. “We, as Muslims, need to frame our Muslim American identity instead of having it framed for us by other people. Sometimes, it’s by people who have a bad agenda or an agenda to harm Islam or the image of Muslims in the world,” Ataya said. Azaan Barles, a fourth-year business analytics major, said attending these events, rather than learning about the culture elsewhere, can help students to better understand the community. “Everything that you read is either people denouncing Islam, like talking bad about it, or people being really intense about it,”

Barles said. “And having these communities just makes us feel more human.” According to a poll about how the public perceives Muslims in the U.S. done by the Huﬃngton Post and YouGov, a London-based international research data and analytics group, 55% of 1000 Americans that took the survey have an unfavorable opinion of the Islamic religion. Muslim students throughout California are bullied at twice the national rate of other students, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Ataya said to combat this, world history books should dedicate larger sections to Islam. He also said that those sections should be written by Muslims and that it should discuss the contributions that Islam has made to society. “We need to talk about how we opened one of the first schools, one of the first hospitals and how we came up with a lot of the mathematical concepts people are learning in school. If we teach to K-12 students, then they’re not going to walk away with this idea that Islam is something mysterious,” Ataya said.

According to Ataya, a reoccurring misconception among the Muslim community is the necessity of having to identify oneself as either Muslim or American, as opposed to both. He said that after 9/11, the public perception was that you can’t be Muslim and American. “Being Muslim and being American are not mutually exclusive. America is really a country of hyphenated cultures,” Ataya said. “To take some of the Islamic

culture and concepts and to fit them in our life as Americans — those two things should not be mutually exclusive.” Nahhas said he believes Muslim Americans tend to put pressure on themselves to assimilate. “I don’t think that should be the case. If anything, people should put more eﬀort to teach and show people what Islam is,” Nahhas said. “Islam is a religion of moderation; it doesn’t teach what you see on the media.”

CSU: First open forum held at Sacramento State CONTINUED FROM

“Please bring us someone who understands the culture of the CSU with a vision, but not a vision that tries to overcome or overtake that culture but to build on the culture that already exists,” said Christine Miller, interim vice provost for strategic services at Sacramento State. Lee Simpson, the Sacramento State director of the general education and honors program, said she wants a chancellor who is aware of the systemic and institutionalized racism, sexism and ableism that exists in higher education. “Higher education has done a lot of harm even though it has done a lot of good,” Simpson said. “I want to know that we have a chancellor who is really going to be pushing from the top down for hiring of

faculty of color and more women — especially in STEM — so that our students have faculty who look like them in the classroom.” Yahaira Victorino, a member of the Students for Quality Education organization, said the chancellor needs to be someone who can work with student communities on campus to create resource centers for Dreamers and African American students. “We need someone to be an ally to students, who is ready to build bridges to make the CSU feel more like a university than it is a business,” Victorino said. Marlyn Jones, a professor in Sacramento State’s Criminal Justice Department, said the new chancellor should “seriously consider” allowing counselors to take the tenure track, after pointing out the long wait times for students to

see counselors. Neptaly Aguilera, the co-chair of the statewide University of California Chicano Latino Alumni Association, said it is important that the next chancellor is representative of the CSU student population and have a good relationship with community organizations, parents and alumni. “We’re seeing such a dramatic change in higher education throughout California and the southwest. The demographics of our students has completely changed within the University of California system, within the CSU system and community college,” Aguilera said. The selection committee will also be hearing from CSU students and employees through multiple forums scheduled through Dec. 5.

JENNIFER FRIAS Begovich Gallery director

Similar to many of the artists featured in the Begovich Gallery, Lipton’s art has its own unique twist, drawing thousands of fine cross-hatched lines while strictly sticking to a colorless black and white image. Contrary to Lipton’s color scheme, Teraoka uses many hues to depict his cultural identity through the Ukiyo-e style, a Japanese traditional woodblock print. After moving to the U.S. in 1961 to study art, Teraoka began exploring the clash between Eastern and Western culture in his work, depicted as visual commentaries on sociopolitical issues. Teroka’s work has been displayed at CSUF before in a 2017 solo survey, “Floating Realities: The Art of Dr. Masami Teraoka.” Many of the artists featured in the Begovich Gallery have had their art displayed at CSUF before and a goal of the exhibit was to highlight their pieces whether it be within the arts department, Pollak Library or all around campus. From solo exhibits to honorable features, every artist has a place in “A Place for Everything And VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Everything in its Place.” Frias said the exhibit is a resource for students and community members to learn more about the artists that made significant contributions to art in Southern California. The oil paintings, lithographs, drawings, photos and sculptures tell a history of CSUF’s involvement in the art world. “An art institution’s art collection is a reflection of who they are, who the community was and is,” Frias said. After speaking with archivist Debra R. Winters and former art professor G. Ray Kerciu, Frias wanted to launch the exhibit as her first order of business since beginning her role in July. Frias learned that the college had never displayed a majority of the full collection, including screen prints from Andy Warhol. Much of the collection features decades of famous artwork such as Robert Rauschenberg’s lithograph from his “Stoned Moon” series and a small reproduction of the world’s largest photo ever taken, done by turning an airplane hanger into a gigantic camera. Frias wanted to highlight these works while also reflecting on the relevance and diversity in art. The curator sought out works that represent multiple cultures and identities. “A collection is a reflection of the community and our community is pretty diverse,” Frias said. Frias’ first acquisitions as the new curator were pieces by Ann Phong, a Vietnamese American painter, CSUF alumna and adjunct professor at Cal Poly Pomona. In the back of the gallery, her oil painting from 1996 titled “Blood and Bone #4,” hangs near wooden sculptures. Phong said the theme relates to the Vietnam War, with elements of fire and shadows representing the fear and anger of those affected by the war. Phong wanted to keep the identity of the piece anonymous because it is supposed to depict not just one person, but multiple people suﬀering. She considers having her work

displayed in the exhibit “an honor.” “All the art works you see here are essentially from the school collections,” said Shirley Villalobos, a graduate art history student. Villalobos said the framed artwork in the exhibit makes up 80% of the total framed work at CSUF and about 40% of the work in print. One of the pieces she pointed out was by Patrick Nagel, which is the cover art for Duran Duran’s “Rio” album in 1982. Villalobos helped put the exhibit together, from hanging and framing the artwork to painting the walls and taking inventory of the collection. The collection started in 1963 when Kerciu purchased prints for students and faculty to study as a resource. His connection with famous print workshops Gemini G.E.L. and Tamarind allowed him access to more famous works by Roy Lichtenstein and Rauschenberg.

Titans win slew of Big West conference awards CSUF men’s soccer team brings home a haul of six All-Conference awards. ARNULFO GONZALEZ Editor

Owen Lambe (30) challenging Florida Gulf Coast’s Noah Bushey on Sept. 15.

The Big West released the 2019 All-Conference team Tuesday morning with six Titan soccer players earning honors for their work during the regular season. The list was released three days after Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team’s postseason ended with a 2-0 loss to UC Davis in the Big West Tournament semifinal. There were two players who made the First Team, Christian Pinzon and Oscar Flores, who were recognized for their contributions oﬀensively to CSUF. On the defensive end, Sam Molz and Paul-Andre Guerin earned nods to the All-Conference Second Team and Big West Honorable Mention respectively. The final two players to earn recognition for CSUF were freshmen Sebastian Cruz and Owen Lambe, as they were picked in the Big West All-Freshman team. Flores had the best season of his college career, as he collected 20 points oﬀ of seven goals and six assists. Both career highs for the red-shirt senior, who also collected two game-winning goals this season. Flores was tied with two other players on the team for second in game-winning goals, along with Lambe and Jessy Sotelo. Pinzon was the outright leader in assists on the team, but was tied with Flores in goals, scoring seven as well. He also had

seven assists despite playing two games less than Flores. Pinzon’s 21 points led the team. Pinzon and Flores were the only two Fullerton players who were in double digits for points. The junior forward’s 21 points were tied for second in the Big West, behind Cal State Northridge’s Daniel Trejo, with 25 points on the season. Pinzon also led the team with his three game-winning goals, this mark was also good enough for third in the Big West. Pinzon led the Big West in shots with 58,narrowly beating out Trejo by one shot who only recorded 57 shots. Defender Molz earned his honor from starting in all 20 games for the Titans this season and being a part of the defensive line that only allowed 1.2 goals per game while recording five shutouts. Guerin was one of the main reasons behind the five shutouts that CSUF collected this season.

Guerin lead the Big West in saves made during the season, as he made 96 saves, almost 30 more than the second-place goalkeeper, UC Santa Barbara’s Ben Roach, who made 69 saves on the season. In save percentage, the Fullerton keeper came in second to UC Davis’ Wallis Lapsley who had a 0.818 save percentage. Guerin was behind him with a 0.793 save percentage tied with Roach. Guerin was also tied with Lapsley and Roach in wins as all three of them collected 12 wins. The Titan goalkeeper played the most minutes out of all Big West keepers with 1,869 minutes. Lambe and Cruz got nods to the All-Freshman team due to their contributions oﬀensively, as Cruz scored two goals and assisted four other goals after starting in all 20 of the Titans’ games. Lambe also scored two goals and assisted another in a more limited role, playing in 19 games but only starting five of them.

Hoop: Sixth all-time meeting with the Cowboys CONTINUED FROM 1 The lack of oﬀensive presence against showed against Stanford as CSUF shot 33.9% from the field and went 18.22% from the 3-point line. Defense has also been a factor in the Titans’ unsuccessful start. CSUF is allowing 73 points per game which places them 235th in the nation for scoring defense. To get their first win, the Titans need strong performances from guard Austen Awosika, the team’s leading scorer and forward Davon Clare, who had a career-high 15 rebounds in the last game. At 1-1, Wyoming is hoping to rebound after a 66-32 blowout loss to South Carolina. The Cowboys struggled oﬀensively shooting 9 of 39 from the field

at 23.1%. They totaled only five assists and were out-rebounded by 20 by the Gamecocks. The Cowboys were stifled by the Gamecock defense. They allowed 32 points, the fewest amount of points the Gamecocks allowed since 2005. Wyoming’s nine field goals were also the lowest allowed under South Carolina coach Frank Martin’s tenure. Similar to the Titans, the Cowboy oﬀense has underperformed to start the season, and are ranked 345th for scoring offense with 43 points per game. The lone bright spot for the Cowboy oﬀense would be redshirt sophomore Hunter Maldonado, who is averaging 21 points per game. Against Idaho State, Maldonado scored a career-high 32 points accounting

for 28 of Wyoming’s 33 second-half points. While they have struggled offensively, the Cowboy defense could give them the advantage on Wednesday night. Wyoming is allowing only 53 points a game, which puts them as the 25th best team in the nation for scoring defense. Their lone win was against the Idaho State Bengals where the Cowboys held their opponents to only 40 points on a 31.9 shooting percentage. Wednesday night’s matchup will be the sixth time Cal State Fullerton and Wyoming battle it out on the court. It will be the first meeting between the two in nearly 20 years. The Titans and Cowboys will face oﬀ on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Arena-Auditorium.

The balance that you are aiming to strike today seems to begin and end in the same practical location -- your wallet. Reality demands that you stick to a budget and make the most of all available resources.

The sights, sounds, and scents of the great outdoors are registering with rare intensity on an emotional level today, and maybe even spiritually, too. It is inspiring to be by the personality of a favorite pet or wild creatures.

There are things your inquiring mind needs to know. However, it may take longer than anticipated for your understanding of a venture’s purpose to come into focus today.

You can hold your own in nearly any rough-and-tumble arena from business to sport to fast-flying debate. But it is when you are free to express the nurturing side of your nature that you are to be the most content today.

Your communication style is direct and straight to the point today. Others who are used to your typically detailed storytelling might find your yes or no answers unusual.

Your appetite for change might be so voracious today that you could switch horses midstream without missing a step. Your sense of urgency puts the secret of success at least temporarily.

You may be preoccupied with gathering a crop today. Perhaps your bounty is comprised of the rewards for recently completed work or the fruits of karma set in motion by a good deed performed long ago.

Your mind could be repeatedly drawn back to just one option today, no matter how many alternative angles there are to a situation. Your singular focus may mean this is the right choice.

Climbing to the top is an adventure as well as a challenge. But the view from high up may be lonely if you let the trek become so selfabsorbing that you tune people entirely out.

Your interest in science, mechanics, or astronomy today might best be described as ravenous. You’re apt to be found diving into literature with enthusiasm of a kid in a candy shop.

There is a message that you are determined to convey to others today in one way, shape, or form. It could be a private signal sent by your subtle behavior that tells another to back off or come closer.

You may not need to go looking for a break from routine today. One could be plunked onto your doorstep or desktop in a way that is apt to be more exciting than annoying.

Women will lose the Presidential race America is not ready to give executive power to a woman.

ALYSSA LOPEZ Editor

Wanting to have a woman seated in the White House and running this country is nothing more than wishful thinking. This is not to dismiss the idea of a woman being president — a female running this country would be great. Gender doesn’t halt ability in women as ignorance is the only thing that blinds people from seeing that. To skip past the cliche that ‘girls can do anything,’ the country is simply not where it needs to be in terms of gender equality for a Ms. President to sit in the Oval Oﬃce. It seems that with all the recent eﬀort put towards the fight for gender equality, now would be the perfect time to have a woman in the White House, and not just as the first lady. Unfortunately, women are, for the most part, the only ones truly fighting for women’s issues. For there to ever be equality across the gender spectrum, changes have to be made. There are five women currently running for president in the 2020 election, and none of them

stand a chance. Not because any of them lack fierce female energy, but rather the nation isn’t truly ready to give women that much power. The fear of granting a woman that much power hides in the shadows of stereotypes and beauty standards which are incessantly placed on women. The seemingly smallest issues have the most impact on gender equality. Gender stereotypes and the physical criticism that often come with being a woman are what holds most back from aspiring to receive the respect and the power that they work hard

for. Continuing to enforce gender-based assumptions while criticizing those who do not adhere to the status quo, does not allow women to move forward, nor does it allow society to ever disrupt its toxic way of thinking. If we can’t let go of the miniscule things, the bigger issues will never get resolved. In January of this year, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore hoops and red lipstick to her swearing-in ceremony as a way to stand up against the sexist and racist beauty standards placed on women in politics. She stated

on Twitter, “Lip+hoops were inspired by Sonia Sotomayor, who was advised to wear neutral-colored nail polish to her confirmation hearings to avoid scrutiny. She kept her red. Next time someone tells Bronx girls to take oﬀ their hoops, they can just say they’re dressing like a Congresswoman.” It’s ridiculous to think that with real threats like climate change and California fires, the accessories or makeup a woman in power daunts is even a topic of conversation. Let Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez do her job. While people worry about what color lipstick she’s wearing, she’s trying to ensure people have a viable future. It’s ignorant and stupid to think that what a woman wears, or doesn’t wear, has anything to do with her ability to think and make decisions. Criticism of a woman’s clothes or makeup is an example of the small things that really don’t matter, yet still diverts public attention and causes social impact. If the barracudas of American society can’t stop themselves from getting distracted by the shiny jewelry women wear, being taken seriously as a leader will never happen, and women will not even get the chance to prove skeptics wrong. The current rise of feminism is helping women climb the ladder to equality, but it’s foolish to think they’re anywhere close to the top. In 2016, “more Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in U.S. history,”

according to CNN. While Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote in the 2016 elections is a sign that society is taking steps toward progress, it also shows that the people in power are still not ready to make actual progressive change by electing a woman to hold the most important job in the country. Clinton won the approval of citizens but still didn’t win the presidency. It is clear that the electoral college would rather elect a bigot to run this country than a woman who is far more qualified. While she made her share of mistakes, having Hillary Clinton in office would be better than having a racist Cheeto puff calling the shots. It was hard enough that Clinton was a woman trying to run for president, but the odds were already stacked very high against her. Clinton’s email mishap seemed to be the final nail in her coffin. Whether or not she was the best out of all the candidates that ran in the 2016 election will always be debatable, but deciding between her and Donald Trump is an obvious no-brainer. Sadly, her gender was probably the deciding factor for most electors to say no. It’s unfortunate that because of the lack of true gender equality in the United States, a woman has no chance of winning the presidential election. To change that reality, society needs to stop focusing on what women look like, abandon the stereotypes that plague them and instead, focus on what women can and will do.

Rage Against the Machine is hypocritical By headlining Coachella, the band ignores their roots.

REBECCA MENA Editor

As a rebelling teenager, there is nothing more empowering than lifting a fist in the air in defiance to a country that has failed many citizens. There’s nothing like grinding teeth, clenching the jaw, and grunting along with Zack de la Rocha as he shouts, “F--- you, I won’t do what you tell me” in response to the abusive authority that plagues society. Rage Against the Machine sparked a fire of rebellion within its listeners. However, that fire is less empowering when the same band returns years later to headline for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, an overpriced music festival with a disputable reputation in our current social climate. This is not the first time the band has headlined for Coachella. They had headlined at the first Coachella Festival back in 1999 and again in 2007. But back at the festival’s inception, it made sense that the band would headline. The diﬀerence between Coachella 1999 and Coachella 2020 is staggering. Tickets

were sold at $50, rather than its current general admission price of $429, the attendee numbers ran between 17,000 to 20,000 per day and are now 99,000 to 125,000 after the city of Indio expanded the venue back in 2016. But most importantly, Coachella was the rebuttal to the mayhem of the 1999 revival of Woodstock. The music festival of peace and love was fueled by violence, sexual assaults and a shortage of resources like water and hotel rooms for attendees and festival workers. Rage Against the Machine performed at both festivals. Through the bad times of Woodstock and the good of Coachella, the band came out as the prime example of what advocates for social rights can exemplify. However, after announcing their comeback tour last week, their self-proclaimed bridge between music entertainment and activism has begun to crack. The tour will take place at various spots along the Mexican border, which include El Paso, Texas; Las Cruces, New Mexico and Phoenix, Arizona. Their last two dates will end at the Coachella Festival, which leaves a bad aftertaste for long-time fans. For a band that centers their music around social activism and political awareness, headlining for a music festival that is in the hands of a conservative multibillionaire, Philip Anschutz, and his entertainment company, starts their descent into hypocrisy. Consider their past support for the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, an indigenous guerrilla group in Mexico. The Zapatista Army stood against

the lasting effects of colonialism that have been around Mexico for centuries including social effects such as racism, the erasure of indigenous groups and exploitation of lower classes. Rage Against the Machine should question their decision to work with Anschutz Entertainment Group if they stand behind the beliefs of the Zapatista Army. Especially since its owner has donated a hefty amount of money to Republicans and groups against unions, science and the LGBTQ community in the past. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, a research group dedicated to tracking money in U.S. politics and its effect on elections and public policy, Anschutz and his family has donated $1,099,800 to the Republican party, and not even a cent towards the Democratic party. In an attempt to counter the backlash received for his controversial donations, Anschutz donated $1 million toward the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s LGBT Fund. However, in a billionaire’s world, $1 million is nothing. This is not the first time the band has been criticized for their involvement with wealthy entertainment groups, such as Sony Entertainment, and its subsidiary record label, Epic Records. After all, it is difficult to follow a band that has been active in the fight against elite corporations that also works for one too. Rocha addressed the criticism and carefully justified the contract with Sony in an interview with Propaganda.

“To me, not using Sony or abusing them to tell people what’s going on in the U.S. and Europe, would be the same if the Zapatistas didn’t use the guns they’ve stolen from the

about their band’s image. There has yet to be a response from the band in regards to the critique from social media users. With a history

Mexican army,” Rocha said. Music, film and pop culture publication Consequence of Sound tweeted the Rage Against the Machine’s tour announcement and 1,600 retweets ensued. These retweets were a mix of critique towards the band and excitement for the reunion, putting Rage Against the Machine in the controversial limelight over whether or not they are neglecting their roots and are morphing into an advertising tool for the festival. In that same interview, Rocha said that he was not worried about falling prey to the advertising culture. At this point, Rocha should start reconsidering whether or not he should worry

rooted in years of activism, it’s alerting to see that Rage Against the Machine will headline a music festival that has taken baby steps to slowly transform to the horrific entity that Woodstock 1999 was. A piece of advice for the band would be for them to retrace their steps and revisit their contributions to both activism and conglomerate corporations. They need to remember their humble beginnings at their first public performance at Cal State Northridge because shouting “Killing in the Name” lyrics at this point is as eﬀective as the lyricless version they play at CSUN’s quad.
