Fallen Soldiers Honored By PAULINE GUIUAN EL VAQUERO STAFF WRITER

laza Vaquero took on the aura of a memorial park Nov. 8 with hundreds of gleaming white crosses spreading from the Administration building walkway up to the cafeteria. A recreation of the Arlington West display held every weekend in Santa Monica, the 856 crosses that lined the grass, some draped with flowers and American flags, represented fallen American soldiers in Iraq. This powerful memorial, erected in remembrance of the 2,055 dead and 14,902 wounded American soldiers in Iraq, was one part of the Day of Remembrance celebration put together by the GCC Justice Coalition, Veterans for Peace and the Iraq Veterans Against The War (IVAW) as a timely commemoration of Veterans Day. Members of these organizations set up the crosses by hand, one by one, earlier that day. A program composed of speeches and poems representing anti-war sentiments was held at the Plaza See REMEMBRANCE, Page 3

Sarah Menold rules the airwaves from 5-9 p.m. on Mondays.

hat do KGCC Web radio and approximately 20 million people have in common? Myspace. That’s right, KGCC has joined the Myspace revolution in an effort to raise awareness for the campus Web radio station. Myspace enables GCC students, as well as the fellow Myspace community, to listen to radio broadcasts through a link provided on the radio station’s page. The torch bearer in this effort is Sarah Menold, a 25-year-old radio broadcast major who jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the campus radio station while taking Media 107,
the prerequisite course for the “radio station class,” Media 207. “I didn’t even know we had a radio station on campus until the class began and the instructor mentioned it,” said Menold. Menold currently hosts a weekly show called “Happy Mondays” which airs Monday nights from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Menold describes “Happy Mondays” as a modern/British rock show, even though Menold considers herself to be all over the place when it comes to her show’s music play list. “I play everything that I deem good and everything that I think people should hear and get into,” said Menold. Menold’s enthusiasm for the radio station spawns from her love of radio See KGCC, Page 4
