NEW MUSIC:
BRAID-“NO COAST”
I
llinois’ Braid, along with emo stalwarts the Get Up Kids, the Promise Ring, Sunny Day Real Estate and Jimmy Eat World were considered by many to be a pillar among the second-wave emo scene that was on the verge of commercial success in the late ’90s. The year was 1998 and Frame & Canvas, the band’s seminal third album garnered them critical and commercial success. Despite the many accolades and praise that came with the album, internal fighting and nonstop touring eventually tore founding members Bob Nanna and Chris Broach to the breaking point and eventually spelled the end. Braid was a band that should have been as huge as Jimmy Eat World is today. But sometime life can give us second chances, and on their new effort, No Coast, Braid have produced an anthemic and memorable album that was 16 years in the making. Time heals all wounds it seems, as Nanna and Broach have crafted a mature and refined version of their influential sound, while also branching out into new territory. The first thing you notice after your first listen of No Coast is how genuine the sound is, not saying that it’s genuinely produced, although the production on the album is very well done, but the album itself feels like something that could stand next to Braid’s ephemeral yet incredible catalog. Opening track “Bang” begins with a gorgeous blend of Nanna’s and Broach’s guitar lines interweaving and danc-

ing around the melody before crashing headfirst into a wall of guitar and anthemic choruses. The musical chemistry between the Nanna, Broach and the returning rhythm section of Todd Bell on bass and Damon Atkinson on drums is felt in every track. “East End Hollows” and the title track, “ No Coast,” have an energetic and contemporary feel that dispel the notion that with age comes a slower and softer musical agenda. There are no filler tracks or unnecessary songs throughout the album’s collection of 12. “Many Enemies” is a stand-out track that features great vocal interplay between Nanna and Broach, along with memorable hooks and melodies. “Pre-Evergreen” and “Lux” are probably the strongest tracks on the album. Beyond sounding like traditional Braid songs, the tracks have almost a latter-day Foo Fighters sound. The lyrics on “No Coast” are as impassioned and heartfelt as anything in the band’s repertoire and showcase a more mature side of Nanna and Broach’s songwriting abilities. This is the album that fans of this under-appreciated yet massively significant midwestern rock band have been waiting for. The overall spirit of collaboration that was once lost for the once young proponents of emo rock has been rebuilt though time apart. They say absence truly makes the heart grow fonder, and that fondness is felt throughout No Coast. It is an album that is both nostalgic and exciting in its freshness, rooted in rejuvenation rather than reunion.
ACXDC “Self-Titled” We had it coming. We’ve had it coming for years. The question was simply a matter of when deliverance would grace us. Finally, it’s unleashed. And it’s about damn time. It may be confusing for some of you STREET DATE: JULY 8 that this will have naught to MELOTOV RECORDS do with the Angus Young, wonder-from-down-under 4/5 multi-platinum rock band, as if ACxDC played with AC/DC, the former’s awesome heaviness would probably rip the poor Aussies’ heads off. Well, you know what– ACxDC isn’t “true grindcore” and thank God for that. If you look at the grindcore originators– Siege, Repulsion, Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror, and Carcass– each of them saw grindcore as way to break the rules. That is, grindcore. Yet, somehow, where grindcore once suggested infinite possibilities (most of them being sonically aggressive), now it has been reduced to a set of cans and cannots. After a decade of releasing singles and eps that were funny, twisting, off kilter, and generally badass, ACxDC has apparently become tired of the critcism that they aren’t true to form. Thus, on their debut LP, Antichrist Demoncore the group abandons an adherence to the rules that have been shackled around their feet and create an album that plays by the rules as much as it breaks them.
ECHOSMITH “Talking Dreams” When you discover a relatively unknown band and watch them skyrocket into mainstream popularity, it’s as if you’re watching your very own child taking his or her first steps. That may be an outlandish statement, but STREET DATE: JULY 8 that’s the kind of overwhelmWARNER RECORDS ing satisfaction I feel when I get updates on Echosmith’s 3/5 progress. While I’ve never particularly loved the band, it’s still nice to feel like part of a cool group or community, and that’s the sort of resounding positivity that Echosmith’s fanbase radiates. Their debut album entitled Talking Dreams is harmless generic pop fun, but it was my harmless generic pop fun. It doesn’t necessarily try to be deep and it doesn’t have to be, but man oh man there some embarrassing teenage diary lyrical material on this album. Talking Dreams is an enjoyable enough debut with some pleasant vocal harmonies and catchy guitar hooks, but the cliched lyrics can not be overlooked. In general the album is filled with upbeat guitar and baselines, but at the same time there’s a little bit of melancholy in Echosmith’s sound, which is undoubtedly the Joy Division influence shaping this young band’s sound. Echosmith is made up of family members: Sydney Sierota (Vocals), Jamie Sierota (Guitar), Noah Sierota (Bass), and Graham Sierota (Drums), and their father (who is a producer/composer) who played 80’s essentials like Joy Division and U2 really influenced the kind of music Echosmith plays, which is generally safe 80’s pop music. While they are normally characterized as some sort of rock band, they are the furthest thing from that. BRAID TEXT BY: EVAN SOLANO; ACXDC TEXT BY HENRY ROLLINS; ECHOSMITH BY STEPHEN CARPENTER

STUDENTS TO
SCIENTISTS F STEM majors get paid to put their knowledge to work on research projects
or science, technology, engineering and math majors at Citrus College, finding an opportunity to gain experience and earn a stipend may be only an application away. Project director Marianne Smith, Ph.D., provides STEM students with research opportunities in a real-world work environment through the Summer Research Experience program. “We developed this program so we could help get [STEM students] out into the world and really have intense experiences to learn a lot about themselves as a STEM majors,” Smith said. In summer 2014, Smith with the help of Alejandra Gonzalez, STEM coordinator, matched 50 students with organizations, programs and lab mentors that matched their long-term career goals. Though it is not considered an internship, STEM students participating receive a stipend of $5,000 throughout the duration of the eight to 10 week programs. Three grants support the program: one a collaborative grant held by California State University Fullerton in a partnership with Citrus, and a grant at Chapman on which Citrus is the primary partner. Since its beginning in 2011, the number of students participating in the SRE program has grown. Smith and Alejandra Gonzalez, STEM coordinator, place students in labs that are conducting research related to the students’ interest.

They offer labs in computer science, biology, chemistry, engineering, botany, mathematics, earth and space science, physics and environmental science. To qualify to participate, students must have successfully completed two STEM courses and also sign up for the STEM academy on the Citrus website. Smith said there are research experience programs at four-year universities that do not serve the same number of STEM students and community colleges will occasionally provide experience for a small number of students. “It sets us apart,” she said. “[Our SRE program] is unique among community colleges, and colleges and universities in general.” Gonzalez also comes from a STEM background, participated in an unpaid research program when she was in college at a private four-year institution. “I have that experience and understanding,” she said. “I know sometimes it’s hard to go and meet a professional who is looking at your application and says ‘You don’t know anything about science, you’ve never gone through it.’”

During her SRE she did have support from her professors and program, she said, but came to Citrus only to realize students at the community college level don’t have the same opportunities that she did in a private school environment. “There aren’t research projects going on at the community college level,” she said. “So when [STEM students] transfer as juniors and seniors, they’re going in without having had the opportunity to have research experience, and they sometimes feel it’s too late when in reality it’s not.” Biology professor, Barbara Juncosa, Ph.D., who helps to prepare selected students, said Smith works hard to ensure that the student is matched up with an appropriate lab that will supplement their career goals. Last summer for the first time, Juncosa and Biology professor Christine Goedhart, Ph.D., who also works with the SRE program, sponsored two students helpers at Citrus. Juncosa and physics professor Lucia Riderer, Ed.D., who also assists the SRE program, will occasionally serve as virtual mentors for students during their off campus research experiences.

Juncosa and Riderer also host workshops to prepare students to read scientific literature. “I try to provide them with some context to what the experience might be like, “ Juncosa said. STEM students often end up transferring and switching to other majors because of the number required units to graduate and the amount of work. The program focuses on increasing the number of students interested in and graduating with STEM majors to find gainful employment in the United States. “These kinds of experiences are what help cement your career goals,” Juncosa said. “When you get the hands-on experience of what science is really like, which is different from sitting in a lecture class, I think that’s what really pushes students to continue down the STEM pathway.” Juncosa considers paid research experience programs to be critical to the future of STEM students. Watching the transformation process of STEM students to professionals is the best part of the SRE program, Smith said. “What we know SRE does for a student is build their science identity,

Getting settled After several years of searching, the administration announces a new Vice President of Student Services
M
artha McDonald, Ed.D., has been a role model to Citrus students for more than 10 years and is the epitome of the American Dream. McDonald has been selected to serve as official vice president of student services of Citrus College. “My strong and hard work is what brought me to this level,” McDonald said. “I have always taken advantage of every opportunity given to me.” Despite coming from a self-described, harsh and humbling background, McDonald managed to raise herself up by her own bootstraps to find success at Citrus. She was born in Mexicali, Mexico and attended first through third grade in Guadalajara before moving to the United States where as an immigrant she faced difficulties overcoming language barriers. She grew up in Santa Ana and graduated from Santa Ana High school, where her mother taught her to follow her dreams. Her mother, McDonald’s biggest influence, worked day and night to help to support their family and encouraged McDonald that education is the key to breaking up the poverty cycle that her family lived in “She was a strong believer in education because she was not able to obtain an education,” McDonald said. McDonald was the first of her family to attend college and was accepted into California State University Fullerton. As a first generation college student, she encountered many obstacles like working a full time job and getting little financial support from her family in pursuing her bachelor’s degree, so she joined the United States Marine Corps instead of completing. She was on active duty for the Marine Corps for about eight years and then moved on to preserve in the military for about five years. Being a Marine proved to be a trial for her physically, mentally and most of all culturally.

As a woman who was raised in traditional Hispanic family the decision to serve in the military was controversial. McDonald eventually became the first female instructor to teach physical security, anti-terrorist measures and arms weaponry at Marine Corps Security Forces School. Her dream of pursuing higher education did not diminish, and McDonald knew that she was going to be successful one day. McDonald continued working on her education while serving in the Marine Corps and took night classes at a community college in Havelock, North Carolina to complete her education. “Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty,” McDonald said. McDonald received her B.A.in psychology from Chapman University, where she continued to work as an assistant director while earning her M.A. degree in counselling. McDonald returned to CSU Fullerton to earn her doctorate in education. After receiving her master’s degree, she worked at Fullerton College as coordinating operations and services manager for The EOP&S and CARE programs. In 2004 McDonald was appointed director of EOP&S, CARE and CalWORKS at Citrus College. In 2007, she was appointed dean of students and managed student affairs programs such as Student Life, Leadership Development, Student Discipline, Athletic Eligibility, School Relations and Outreach, Campus Safety, Cafeteria, Student Health Center and the Veteran Success Center. One of McDonald’s most memorable moments was the opening of the Veterans Center. “I was happy to see students grow,” said McDonald, who had put a lot of effort into growing the veterans program. After working with McDonald for three years, Arvid Spor, Ed.D., vice president of academic affairs, noticed that she did an excellent job of working with a wide variety of pro-
grams prior to her position as dean of student of affairs. Spor believes McDonald’s military background was a major advantage in dealing with the stress levels that typically comes with handling campus safety and discipline. “She was very professional that was one of the characteristics that I admired about her,” Spor said. In 2013, she was selected as interim executive dean to directly support Spor in his official position as vice president of academic affairs and interim vice president of student services. Spor admires McDonald’s ability to see ‘the bigger picture’ when working on important tasks such as accreditation, working closely with counselors and managers on program reviews and educational facilities master plan issues. “I enjoy working at Citrus College is because a lot of the students that I meet here are students with similar backgrounds like mine,” McDonald said. “That is the beauty of community college.” Dana Hester, Ed.D., dean of social and behavioral sciences and McDonald’s close friend, said she has a serious demeanor for discipline but shows a lot of empathy. Her previous administrative assistant in the office of student affairs, Terilyn Shamhart, who worked with McDonald for about eight years, describes her as very organized and a business first professional that understands the mission of Citrus. “She is a sweet lady with the hidden sense of humor,” Shamhart said. McDonald strives to serve as a role model for her family, children and siblings. She is happy that her children are obtaining higher education and developing careers and dedicates most of her free time to being involved in her four children’s activities. She is proud to have accomplished getting an education and being

successful when it seemed almost impossible. Her most important priorities are to be strong and to keep her commitment to the college’s mission. “[McDonald] is dedicated to student success and providing exceptional student service,” Shamhart said. “She is a team player on projects and puts in long hours to see a task to completion.” McDonald hopes to work with programs and identify gaps to help students complete their educational goals. She plans is to come up with new interventions, ideas and initiations to help students to move up to the next level. “It will be an easy transition for her,”

Lucky Thirteen Citrus athlete Savanna Lujan felt as though her soccer days were over after suffering from a severe season-ending injury only 30 seconds into a match against San Diego. Lujan, 20, tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) her inaugural freshmen season in 2013, took a medical red-shirt and played sparingly last season. Lujan, who wears number 13, has been recognized as the leading scorer of the Citrus Owls women’s soccer team, showing consistent performance on the field scoring four goals in 19 games. Lujan’s life consists of mainly school and soccer. Growing up in Claremont, Lujan started playing soccer at the age of four. “My parents were always heavily involved and that’s one of the reason’s why I always wanted to continue,” Lujan said. Later on, she started playing Club Soccer, moved up to playing AYSO and played for the Claremont Stars and La Verne Lazers in high school. Her senior year she attended Claremont High School where she met the head coach of Citrus College, Tim Tracey, who also coached her high school soccer team. Tracey convinced her to come play at Citrus after playing for him her senior year. “She’s a strong competitor,” Tracey said. “She’s one of those consistent players that gives you everything everyday.” It was tough for Tracey to see one of his best players suffer a severe injury, but her drive to get back on the field showed strong character. “It’s tough for any athlete to suffer this kind of injury,” Tracey said. “She showed determination, strength, and the will to get back to it very well. Practically playing soccer her entire life, Lujan’s injury was an obstacle to overcome leaving her in denial after tearing her ACL. “Every time I tried

to get up, I fell to the floor,” Lujan said. “I didn’t want to believe it.” Six months after her injury, Lujan started exercising daily and making her way back into shape, but the injury had affected her mentally and had her fearful to play as hard as she wanted to. With the emotional support from her teammates and the help of the physical therapy of the athletic trainers, Lujan was able to rebuild her confidence. “They wanted to watch me succeed so they encouraged me to play better,” Lujan said.

“My injury has motivated me to constantly work hard and do better, I feel like I’m trying to make up for a lost time.” -Savanna Lujan
Lujan’s teammate, Madison Hunt, 20, kinesiology major, was by her side while undergoing physical therapy. She saw her motivation to get back into shape and regain her strength. “You were able to see the passion and drive in her eyes,” Hunt said. Lujan needed to take into consideration that she had just suffered a serious injury and that it will take time to get to where she used to be.

“I though that it wouldn’t take too much time to progress,” Lujan said. “But taking a long time off, obviously it did.” By her side is her sister Sydney Lujan who is also on the Citrus Owl’s women’s soccer team. “I guess it sounds crazy to want to live with your sister, play soccer with your sister and spend every minute together but I absolutely love it,” Savanna said. Lujan has learned to appreciate the sport
that she loves and has given her all every moment she plays on the field knowing that it can suddenly end at any moment. “My injury has motivated me to constantly work hard and do better,” Lujan said. “I feel like I’m trying to make up for a lost time.” Lujan is unsure where she plans to transfer but intends on attending a four-year university and would love to continue soccer. “That injury has helped me realize that I can’t take it for granted.” L

College credits will not cover cost of living Unpaid internships take advantage of students and their contributions

s the semester ends, students might find themselves applying for internships for the spring and should remember: in an unpaid internship, the company cannot derive profit from your work. Unpaid internships take advantage of students who deserve to be paid for their contributions. continued >> FEB 2016 | LOGOS | 28

They also put low-income students interning at a disadvantage, as they are forced to choose either an unpaid internship and gaining valuable experience in a field they hope to be a part of or working a job that actually pays them so they can afford food, housing and education. More well off students do not have to worry about this, and can afford to not work a paying job and work an unpaid internship Giving affluent students the advantage at internships leads to lack of diversity in the professional field, leaving low-income people out of the professional world or working twice as hard to get there, despite being at the same educational level. Beyond being morally unethical, and physically and mentally disadvantageous, unpaid internships may also be illegal. In 2013, PBS talk show host Charlie Rose paid roughly $110,000 to settle a lawsuit out of court, which was brought on by former interns claiming Charlie Rose’s production company was violating labor laws. The third criteria from the United States Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division for Unpaid Interns states: “The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff.” The fourth criteria states that, “The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasions its operations may actually be impeded;” are most often overlooked or abused by internships in order to use students for free labor. If a for-profit company gives you onthe-job training and is providing you with work and responsibilities that they would give a part-time worker or full-time worker and benefits from your work, you

“Giving affluent students the advantage at internships leads to lack of diversity in the professional field.” deserve to be paid for that work, even if you are being provided with college credit for the internship. Colleges and universities should also be held responsible, as granting academic credit for unpaid internships allows for profit companies to have a stronger argument that they are providing students with an educational opportunity as opposed to being their employer. If a college or university allows their students to take unpaid internships and receive academic credit, said college or
university should provide their students stipends for their work, like University of California Los Angeles. Citrus College does not have a formal internship program, outside of the STEM internships which are paid. This may also leave our students at a disadvantage, because those students that do take unpaid internships will not even be paid in college credit if they are taken advantage of. A requisite for paid employment should not be unpaid employment, and you should not be treated like a slave. L

Between The Buried And Me w/ deafheaven intronaut the kindred

etween the Buried and Me have gone through an incredible transition over the past 10 years as a band. They have gone from the odd-man-out progressive death metal band that would open almost every deathcore/hardcore show imaginable, playing in basements handfuls of open-minded hardcore fans, to becoming one of the most forward thinking and well respected bands in aggressive music today. Their steadfast dedication to their unique sound and artistic integrity culminated into an amazing live performance March 12, to a sold out crowd in Pomona. The North Carolina band are still riding high on the success of their new album ‘Parallax II: Future Sequence’ released in 2012 on Metal Blade. On their last headlining run the band played the album in its entirety, but this time around the band decided to focus on a more career-spanning set as well as brining along a variety of notable support acts: Deafheaven, Intronaut and The Kindred to their ever-growing fan base. It was an arms race of incendiary
guitar riffs and boisterous songwriting, with every band bringing their unique blend of progressive technique and metal influence. The evening ultimately belonged to Between The Buried And Me, as the lights dimmed down the audience grew more eager and excited. Unlike their previous tour outing where they played the entirety of their latest album “Parallax II: Future Sequence” the band embarked on a tour-deforce assortment of songs from their extended and diverse discography. They started their set with the combo of “Foam Born (A) The Backtrack and (B) The Decade Of Statues that opened their critically praised album “Colors”. The unrelenting level of talent and musicianship that the band played at during their hour and 45-minute set was nothing short of astounding. Guitarists Paul Waggoner and Dusty Waring operate their instruments with machine-like accuracy; it was open-heart surgery set to the most uncompromisingly heavy and beautifully technical songs in metal today.
