SF State’s Voice returns with blind auditions

HE SET IN JACK ADAMS HALL may not have been an exact replica of the major Hollywood production, but the talent on display during the blind auditions round at SF State’s Voice competition showed that there are stars in our midst. The Student Life Activities Board hosted the University’s take on NBC’s popular competition, “The Voice.” The contest originated on campus last year when Student Life combined the abundance of student talent with the premise of the popular televised singing competition. After last year’s SF State’s Voice had strong interest and a large turnout for auditions, Student Life decided to continue the competition for a second year. event. Participants in the blind auditions chose one song to perform for a panel of four judges, whose backs were turned to judge the competitors based solely on talent. “The blind audition is strictly you showcasing your voice,” said Christa Laosantos, one of four judges as well as a contestant and runner-up from last year’s competition. “We don’t know how you look or anything like that, we just know how you present yourself.”

Possible BART strike threatens students’ Friday commute cpalmer@mail.sfsu.edu
As labor talks continue between BART management and their unions, commuters across the Bay Area look for different ways to make their commute — and that includes SF State students like 24-year-old Danielle Hodge, biology major. Hodge is one of more than 400,000 daily BART riders whose daily commute is threatened by the ongoing labor talks, as unions prepare to strike Friday, October 11, if no agreement is reached. With no compromise so far,
nightmare. “I would have to drive here, that’s the only way (other than BART) I would be able to get to school. And that’s extremely inconvenient for me,” Hodge said. SF State, however, has been preparing for this possibility on strike in early July. The University has set up a website offering options to students commuting from the East Bay including telecommuting options for students, faculty and staff, expanded parking
at places like UA Stonestown Twin and shuttle options from Daly City BART. “In the absence of BART there is going to be an impact while we can’t mirror one to one negating that impact we can look into exploring supplemental options,” said Corinne DaCunha, associate director of business continuity at SF State. “The fact that it exists is a remitment to the San Francisco State University community.”

2 NEWS SF STATE SPEAKS OUT HOW MIGHT THE POSSIBLE BART STRIKE AFFECT YOU?
10.09.13| GOLDENGATEXPRESS.ORG
Q&A with President Wong:
Exclusive Interview
How would you describe your last year here and what are your goals looking forward?
JAMES KLINKHAMMER, 21 COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR
Well I wouldn’t be able to make it to school, that’s about it though. I don’t really have any other options (other than BART). I would have to drive which would force me to pay for parking and that’s not good.
LORENA ORTIZ, 21 COMMUNICATIONS MAJOR
Well I’ll be very affected, honestly, because I take classes Monday through Friday here and I ride BART. For them to go on a strike will mean for me to miss a whole day of class and I’m paying for these classes so it’s really affecting my education and my learning experience.
Coming to a campus with a stellar reputation with probably the brightest students I have been around in my 40 years in higher year is the effort we spent to connect to alums, was I think critically important. Another thing that I’ll mention...you have to have a deep staff to really make the machine run well. I think they often play a really important but unheralded role within the University. I want to try a slight shift this year to visit a lot of classrooms. I want to see more directly what faculty are doing, the great work their doing in the labs and in the classrooms. On a different level, I spent a lot of time last year connecting to the sports program, both club, intermural, and CCAA, our intercollegiate stuff and I think we’re moving ahead really nicely, in giving them some attention that they’ve not had in a long time.
What do you see in your future as president? We’re going to continue to try to build a lot of bridges to corporate America particularly in San Francisco, build more opportunities for graduate and current students. I’d like to lay out some big ideas to get us to 2025. We’re also preparing for the campaign to raise the kind of money we’ll need to be the best university, not only I have not been shy about telling people, we’re talent rich and asset poor. When you loose a third of your budget and a lot of staff, we need to be very serious about raising dollars to enable faculty, staff, and students to really do what they’re doing.
HAYLEY WATSON, 23 PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR
I would freak out because I have class at 8:10 in the morning.
Xpress sat down with SF State President Leslie E. Wong to discuss the University’s future. How’s the search for a fulltime athletic director going? We’re forming up the committee. I want people to understand that the search for an athletic director could very well be one of the most important searches we do. The potential for athletics is immense. I’ve been very clear with all of you in the community, athletics is the front door to a university. We’re looking at the leadership of the athletic department to really rebuild that front door because the rest of the
What are your thoughts on the current implementation of the Affordable Care Act? Number one, I think it’s about time we extend healthcare to what we believe are 50 million citizens that don’t have it. I think the ability to provide some fundamental healthcare services is critically important. Second, I think the way in which the president is rolling it out is smart, and I believe it will work; despite the protests of a very small group. In many ways, I think the Affordable general that’s going on. In Michigan I was a trustee at a major hospital in northern Michigan and so the whole transformation what they call ACOs, accountable care organizations, has been very quick, much quicker than I thought it would be.
What is the current status of the Taser program? I’m expecting the policy for its use from Chief Wasley. The training, I want to be completion now. I can tell you without hesitation that campus safety is a number one priority. It is For employees, for students, for guests, and I’m really pleased so far with our ability to provide an extremely safe campus. conversations with University police was: do you believe you are currently equipped to provide a safe campus and if not, what’s out there, how are we looking ahead? I asked a lot of questions about a comprehensive campus safety plan and I just wanted to be reassured that we were always thinking about getting better and so I asked about Tasers long ago because I’d discovered that some CSU campus police had Tasers and some did not.
Last evening (Oct. 6), you went to the 44th anniversary of the ethnic studies department. What does it mean to you to support such a historically unique department? Francisco State when I was 18 years old. One of my mentors when I was a street urchin in Oakland, in Chinatown, was a faculty member from San Francisco State and I thought that he was a great mentor. That was in 1966. Some of my own intellectual and social roots started with him. I think he’d be proud not only of me but also others in the group that he affected. I’m really pleased that Dean Monteiro honors the strikers from 1968, but also recognizes the incredibly critical work that the college is doing now.

Slow progress in BART talks prompt contingency plans BART management and their unions remain hopeful for a last minute compromise, and last week some progress was made. The two sides argue over a pay increase, health care beneBART’s largest unions, SEIU Local 1021 and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555, presented their third offer of the cool down period while management BART wants their unions to pay 1 percent of their salary toward their pensions increasing 1 percent a year to 4 percent at
the fourth year. Unions want a 12 percent pay increase over three years while BART has offered a 10 percent pay increase over four years. Unions want a 15 percent increase in health care, they currently pay $92 for an entire family, while BART wants to limit family coverage. BART workers average and a pension, but don’t qualify when they retire. There have been other
attempts to keep the trains moving as well, including a California Senate Bill which aims to force unions not to strike. Other contingency plans include BART to triple the number of free charter buses between the East Bay and SF, and possibly offer limited train service through Transbay Tun-
nel driven by managers who used to be train operators. Carpool lanes will also be enforced all day on 680 and 880 and 80 trucks will possibly be allowed on 580 to ease congestion. “If I was an industrious student and I was here on Monday and I had a midterm exam Tuesday, my strategy would be A: how can I stay on campus
overnight, so can I study till 2 take the exam, then go home,” SF State President Leslie E. Wong said. Student, staff and faculty who commute are encouraged to visit http://safety.sfsu.edu/ content/business-continuity for more information on transportation options during a strike.

rack was my lock and my front wheel but everything else was gone,” Fiouszi said. “My two other friends had their bikes stolen on campus too and I think this issue needs a lot more attention and there isn’t a lot being done about it.” The resolution proposes to reduce bike thefts by 50 percent by August 2018 through three new practices drafted by SF SAFE. The three-step plan in the resolution is based on the comthrough their neighborhood watch committee meetings, according to Morgan St. Claire, a public safety specialist at SF SAFE who became more passionate about the issue after her own bike was stolen.
L
AST Tuesday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution that will attempt to cut bike thefts in half over the next bike registration and quicker responses to reports of stolen San Francisco Safety Awareness for Everyone or SFSAFE, proposed the plan to combat the
rise of stolen bikes in the city. Biking in San Francisco has increased by 75 percent since 2000 and bike thefts have increased at nearly the same rate. In 2012 there were 4,085 bike thefts, approximately three times that of smartphone thefts, costing San Franciscans more than $4.6 million in stolen property, according to a statement released by the District 1 last month. At SF State, University police reported at least 36 stolen bikes between August 2012 and August 2013, according to Reg-
gie Parson, deputy chief of the University Police Department. SF State senior Kyle Fiouzi, Business major, had his bike week last semester from the bike racks outside of Thorton Hall at the University. Fiouzi reported his stolen bike within three hours to the University Police but was unable to track it down because he didn’t have the vin number they needed to identify it. “After I got out of class, the only thing I found on the
a citywide voluntary bike registration system managed by SF SAFE. This system will record bike serial numbers and make tracking stolen bicycles and returning them to their rightful owners a more successful process. “A lot of the stolen bikes that get recovered by the police don’t get returned to their owners because they simply can’t track them,” said Peter Lauterborn, legislative aide for District 1 Supervisor Eric Mar. The second part of the resolution urges the San Francisco Police Department to respond more quickly to reports of bike
thefts. Currently, the response time to reports of stolen bikes vary within police stations and this resolution calls for a more resolution asks the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to increase secure bicycle parking facilities. There are currently 3,000 on-street bike racks to handle the 75,000 average daily bike trips and to remedy this problem, the city plans to add 1,000 new bike racks, a 22 percent increase in overall racks available for San Francisco’s bikers. “Like so many bicyclists, over the years, I’ve had so many bikes and pieces of bikes stolen in San Francisco,” said David Chiu, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and a regular bike rider. Once the city enacts the resolution, later this year, SF State University Police Department will review it and determine what aspects of the resolution can be applied for the bike riding community on campus, according to Parson. The UPD urges SF State riders to use the Bike Barn, a caged bike garage available for students located near Lot 6 at the University, or to secure bicycles with a reputable lock and secure or remove all quick-release items from the bicycle before parting with it.

hour will have the nation’s second highest minimum wage, while the federal minimum sits at $7.25. Currently California remains at $8 per hour. “It costs so much to live here,” said Vaughn Aun, SF State student who works at Rack-N-Cue. “There’s no way you can live on minimum wage.” However, the wage increase doesn’t do much for San Franciscans. Although the city boasts the highest starting wage in the nation, at $10.55 an hour, it is linked to rises. SF State conformed to the $10.55 an hour increase, which went into effect last January, but students who work on campus are limited to 20 hours a week, which students say is not enough. said Carlos Robles, SF State senior, who also works at the SFSU Bookstore. “Even with the raise it’s not making a difference in the end; everything’s price will still raise.” The California Chamber of Commerce called the bill a job killer, and added it to their list of bills that hurt
economic growth. They argue that the bill will put a burden on businesses by driving up the cost of employment, thus causing employers to decrease hours to counteract the increase in wages. They also argue that the new wages add strain to businesses alpro-worker legislation. Meanwhile, those same employees living in San Francisco are paying 3.7 percent more for their housing costs than last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With the average one bedroom apartment in San Francisco going for $2,800 per month and areas surrounding campus averaging $2,000 or more, living in the Within the year, the cost of food in San Francisco rose 2.4 percent, along with medical care, which rose 3.9 percent. “When you take it all into account, minimum wage should be higher,” said Lariza Torres, SF State junior who also works at the SFSU Bookstore. “I struggle with paying rent, I have to live paycheck to paycheck and I’m always stressing out about money.”

That’s been nine competitions that it’s been recognized in some way,” Hoxter said. “It’s always encouraging as a writer.

The idea of someone who is stuck in a world and wants to get out has always been a powerful idea for me.” His assistant and former student, Hoxter has always put an emphasis on tune their work. “He’s all about movies where everything has to do with the story,” Houk said. “He shows ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ (in class) which is a blockbuster kids movie because everything that happens in it, happens for a reason. It’s all about telling a story and it’s really about a character, even though this character is placed in an extraordinary world.” Despite the awards and recognition, Hoxter said that the screenplay isn’t a -
acter-driven and explores themes such as bisexuality. The screenplay has done better in contests that are more interested in story rather than commercialism, which Hoxter added hasn’t surprised him. “This is not a conventional movie. It’s sort of a big-budget indie movie, set in space; meaning nobody will buy it or make it,” Hoxter said. “I’m just realistic. I don’t think that Disney is going to buy a story Hoxter added he does however believe commercially successful. He is currently adapting the screenplay into a novel. “It would have to hit exactly the right person with exactly the right passion and if it did, it could work,” Hoxter said. “But if people are looking for the next Jason Statham movie, and I must admit on behalf of the country of my birth I apologize for Jason Statham, it wouldn’t get past them.”

SF State turns attention to mental health with first suicide prevention conference

HEN Kevin Hines jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge 13 years ago, as he was falling toward the water, he realized he didn’t want to die. Miraculously, he survived. He is one of 34 people recorded to have survived jumping off the iconic bridge, and is now on a mission to raise awareness about mental disorders. suicide prevention conference, “We All Matter: Creating a Community of Caring,” October 18. The University’s mental health initiative team hosts the day-long event consisting of workshops and speakers that aim to raise awareness about student suicides. “Mental illness is real and they need to be treated right away from a diagnosis point,” said Hines, who himself is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “And these people need to know that they are not alone. The people that have these struggles mentally and think they cannot talk to anyone, actually have people to talk to and will listen, and will try to help.” The conference is a response to former Cal State University Chancellor Charles Reed’s initiative for the California State University system to develop peer-to-peer curriculum on mental health. Workshops at SF State’s conference will include information and
resources for diverse entities including Chinese immigrant adults, military veterans, law enforcement, people with eating disorders, Middle Eastern cultures, LGBTQ, students with disabilities and even a workshop on how to help a friend.
According to Active Minds, a national organization that advocates for students with mental disorders, 1,100 students die by suicide each year, making it the second leading cause of student deaths. “What we want to achieve is to

Courtney Stich, Active Minds at SFSU president and psychology student, said she was impressed by the multiethnic and diverse entities that will be present at the conference. Caitlin Ryan, director of the Family Acceptance Project, a research and policy initiative that researches LGBTQ youth and their families, will be a keynote speaker at the conference. She will speak about the critical role families have in promoting well-being for LGBTQ youth, who she said are four times more likely to attempt suicide. “We’re very appreciative of the work that Active Minds is doing on campus and that Dr. Gamboa and the suicide prevention initiative that she introduced on campus,” Ryan said. “Many young people are ashamed of suicidal thoughts and feelings and they conceal them and not tell others. And I think this conference will really help people understand that mental health issue are extremely important and we need to talk about them. Young people need to feel safe to express their despair when they are really feeling like they can’t cope and they don’t know what to do. “ The conference is free and registraStudents can register at tinyURL.com/ WeAllMatter.
Professor makes light-bending discovery beza@mail.sfsu.edu
For the last four years, Weining Man, an SF State physics professor, along with her research team of students, dedicated nights and weekends to manipulate light. Their discovery is now nationally recognized. Man received a $400,000 research grant from the National Science Foundation in July for her discovery in optic materials. “This is the largest grant we’ve gotten for this project, we’ve gotten smaller ones, but this a big deal for the project,” Man said. Man has been working on this research for 10 years, which began as her Ph.D. thesis at Princeton University. The experiment showed a light. Models were designed on a computer then printed using a 3-D printer from plastic. With the creation of channels in the models, photons could be controlled and steered following the path. Light could be steered
in curves and bends. It is an unprecedented way to steer light. The NSF grant is highly competitive, only top researchers nationally are granted the small number of grants in this type of physics, according to SF State Dean of Science and Engineering Sheldon Axler. “The grant demonstrates Weining’s standing in her at universities across the U.S. and internationally,” said Ron Marzke, associate chair of the physics and astronomy department. Man’s journey to reach SF State was a long one. At 15, she traveled more than 1,000 miles to attend a four-year university, Jilin University in Changchun, China. “I fell in love with physics in the 8th grade,” said China-born Man. By 27, Man had received her Ph.D. from Princeton. After Princeton, Man wanted to teach,
and it was her interview with Dean Axler that steered Man’s decision to teach at SF State. “He said, you can work at Princeton, but even if you are not there, those students will still go on to be successful. Here, you will have a chance to make a real difference in student’s lives,” Man said. And that’s the most rewarding part of her job, said Man, the opportunity to collaborate
and work closely with students. “Our faculty, such as Dr. Man, make a real difference in students’ lives by getting our students involved in exciting research projects,” Axler said. The next step will be to use the NSF funding to take the models to a scale of 500 nanometers. This will take the work to real world application capabilities. Upon completion, the science could be used to create
more effective solar energy panels, as well as used in the One-third of the grant will go to the University to help with overhead, said Marzke, making it not just great publicity but a “She pitches in more than we even expect. She is very hopeful of the work of the department. She’s an outstanding teacher,” Marzke said.

Step up your résumé design to stand out from the crowd
L
ET ME GUESS, EVERY RÉSUMÉ you’ve ever made was on Word. Duh, you’re probably thinking to yourself. What else would I be making it on? Aren’t all résumés made like that? The answer is no. And this week, I’m going to tell you why you should ditch a word processor for a design program. Why on earth would you do that? The answer is best put by Blue Sky Résumés; you wouldn’t show up unkempt or messy to an interview, so why should your résumé? The design of your résumé is the equivalent to the clothes you wear to an interview. Sounds like a pretty impossible task for many of you, but using programs like Adobe InDesign isn’t too hard (it’s all drag and drop text boxes, guys! Just like Paint!). While word processor programs present the easy alignment options and columns, there are certain features you can only get when you step outside of the Microsoft Word realm. Am I saying you need to have a page full of rainbows and decorations? Absolutely not. You don’t want it to be overwhelming and more confusing to look at; a well-designed résumé should be simple to follow and pleasing to the eye. Brazen’s “4 Tips for Designing a Résumé That Will Get You Hired” gives really easy to follow tips: use readable fonts, create separation through white space, use your header space wisely, and write in bullet points.
Of course, you could do that on a Word document as well. Why on earth would you bother learning your way around a design program for one little piece of paper?
