Originally from Bakersfield, California, a town seven times larger than San Luis Obispo, civil engineering senior Lance Collins describes his hometown as being its own isolated bubble with a unique culture.

However, upon coming to Cal Poly, he embraced the new town’s community-like atmosphere.

His desire to connect students with the campus and San Luis Obispo community has made him more involved with Poly Reps for the past four years. He was also selected last May to be on the Orientation Board, a group responsible for putting on transition programs such as Week of Welcome (WOW) and Soar.

Growing up in Pleasanton, California, agricultural business junior Owen Schwaegerle spent much of his childhood outside exploring with his three brothers. He participated in Boy Scouts and eventually received his Eagle Scout badge.

Schwaegerle was also a founding member of both his high school’s speech and debate team and football team, sang in the choir and played a number of musical instruments, including the fife and the flute.

He found his way into student government, serving first as the sophomore class’ chaplain and then as the senior class vice president.

Environmental management and protection junior Kyle Jordan is running for Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) president as a write-in candidate.

“Being a transfer student and being new to the campus does mean that I don’t have the same time and perspective as the other c andid ates,” Jord an s aid. “At t he s ame time, I’d say being a transfer student prepares me for the position because I have a diverse perspective.”

Jordan was originally going to run for the ASI Board of Directors for the College of Agriculture, Food & Environmental Sciences.

The Audio Files: DIY music

| When Hoffman selects records to play on KCPR, she looks for raw, authentic music.

Roxanne Hoffman @kcpr913

Song recommendation: “Confidence” by Linda Smith As KCPR’s music director, I decide which albums get added each week. With all the albums we receive, one thing I look for is honesty and originality in music. Often, the more original the music is, the more likely it is made independently.

These could be the same artists who work at your local department store, library or even perform odd jobs while touring on the side. These are the artists who drive my love of music.

Someone once asked me what the goal is for

these smaller, “DIY” bands. This sparks the question: Why make music at all if the aim is for something other than commercial success?

I asked one of my favorite DIY musicians, a lesser-known Baltimore artist named Linda Smith, why she pursues music and what she wants to accomplish. Her response: First inspired by the punk and post-punk of Patti Smith, The Raincoats and Young Marble Giants, Smith decided to “make music that was very much (her) own, though, not an imitation of anyone (she) admired.”

The winning formula is seemingly simple for the Cal Poly baseball team when it plays Hawaii: Get down early, then come roaring back with multirun innings to put the game out of reach.

The Mustangs followed that blueprint to a T against the visiting Rainbow Warriors on Sunday afternoon.

Cal Poly scored four runs in the third and fourth innings — and tacked on runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings, to give the Mustangs a 12-5 win and series sweep at Baggett Stadium.

“We did what we had to do,” head coach Larry Lee said following the game. “It just keeps us relevant for the next conference series … For us, everything is about conference. The only

possibility of postseason competition is to win our conference.”

Cal Poly (14-18, 4-2 Big West) came back from five runs down on Friday night and two runs down in Saturday’s game before overcoming another 2-0 deficit on Sunday.

To earn their second straight postseason appearance in as many years, the Mustangs will need to collect the Big West’s automatic qualifier spot by winning the conference regular season title. This weekend’s sweep was a step in the right direction.

“I think this is really good momentum going into next week and the rest of our season because we have a couple tough series coming up,” sophomore catcher Brett Barbier said.

Lance Collins continued from pg 1.

JOSEPH PACK | MUSTANG NE WS

“Having the opportunity to work with him the past two years on Orientation Team, I have been able to watch him commit to countless tasks and complete each of them with ease,” sociology senior Allison Stoner said. “Lance is able to gauge a group and alter his leadership style (to) truly inspire growth of those around him.”

Collins’ current campus involvement stems widely from introducing prospective students to campus in addition to connecting alumni with the Cal Poly community — all from being a part of the Campus and Community Life Committee where he dedicates a lot of time each week.

“I want the opportunity to finally represent the students that I have introduced to Cal Poly,” Collins said. “Everything I do is based on ‘What can we do to make students the most successful?’ (on) day one. I now want to take that (and) really apply it to what we can do for you for the next four years.”

His community involvement

work around campus has given him a well-rounded perspective of the various groups at Cal Poly. Collins said his exposure to the campus community as a whole will allow him to implement changes within the campus to benefit all organizations.

If elected Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) president, Collins wants to have his executive cabinet involved closely with other groups on campus, such as Cal Poly Athletics and University Housing.

Bringing together each organization with their respective strengths will improve the university collectively, he said.

With ASI working side by side with various Cal Poly groups, an open channel of constant communication will develop between each organization to work together as a community to achieve each desired goal, Collins said.

Concerns have been raised due to Collins’ lack of involvement in ASI, specifically.

However, Collins does not feel his inexperience with student government will set him back.

“My biggest response to that is I’ve learned and developed as a leader these past four years I’ve been involved with orientation (and) Poly Reps. I see it as me having a different perspective, an outside perspective. I’ve watched and seen this campus change and grow.”

Being ASI president would give Collins the chance to represent the current students of Cal Poly, a rewarding and exciting opportunity after working diligently for years to connect prospective students and alumni to the university.

“Lance genuinely cares about the ideas of the people and does an exceptional job representing and implementing those ideas,” Stoner said. “He works constantly until he is confident the task meets his standard and gives 100 percent to everything he cares about.”

His core campaign team includes child development sophomore Anna BlackHogins, graphic communication senior Jillian Ray and political science sophomore Andrew Robinson.

Owen Schwaegerle continued from pg 1.

DAKOTA GREENWICH | MUSTANG NE WS

Former ASI President Jason Colombini encouraged Schwaegerle to get involved in student government. Schwaegerle talks to Colombini, his great-grandbig in Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT), about once or twice a month now that Colombini works for the fraternity’s national office.

In the same way he was anchored to ZBT, Schwaegerle wants students to get anchored to their own group on campus.

“Jason was just hugely inspirational,” Schwaegerle said. “He was honest in everything he did, and he held (me) to a very high standard, and that inspired me to be a man of quality that lived up to those standards.”

One important aspect of Schwaegerle’s life is his faith. He identifies as a non-denominational Christian and attended a small religious high school called Valley Christian School.

Schwaegerle got involved in the campus Christian organiza-

tion Cru, shortly after coming to Cal Poly and participated in Bible study.

“Two things about Christianity that I really think don’t get expressed enough: It’s about loving God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and loving your neighbor as yourself,” Schwaegerle said. “What I try to do, as a Christian, is love others as God loves us: unconditionally.”

Current ASI President Joi Sullivan was active in both ASI and Cru before her election, which may have helped her win over certain demographics. Colombini went into his election as the Interfraternity Council (IFC) president, which encouraged fraternity and sorority members to vote for him.

After completing his freshman year in Fremont Hall, Schwaegerle returned as a resident advisor as a sophomore. He joined ZBT the same year and was voted the new member class president.

Already involved in University Housing and greek life, Schwaegerle successfully ran for ASI Board of Directors in the College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAFES) at the end of his sophomore year.

He has served alongside political science sophomore Cyrus Ebadat, a fellow ZBT. “He’s very organized, always on top of his stuff,” Ebadat said.

“He’s all over the place, but he’s organized with it, so that’s what I love about him.”

Schwaegerle’s primary campaign team includes campaign manager and architecture senior Young Choi, graphic communication junior Nicole Smith, communication studies junior Chris Lopez and his girlfriend, biology sophomore Camille Lethcoe.

Lethcoe is a member of the University Union Advisory Board (UUAB) and Sullivan’s executive cabinet.

She commended Schwae-

gerle’s outgoing spirit and love of others.

“He has this genius heart full of love and compassion, and he wants to share that with other people. He doesn’t stop until he gets the job done, which is something that I really admire (about him),” Lethcoe said.

Once a week, Schwaegerle finds a random person on campus, has a conversation with them and posts a picture to Instagram for what he calls “Total Stranger Tuesday.”

Open campaigning begins on April 12, and Schwaegerle has no distinct plans for his 10 days to win over Cal Poly voters besides distributing T-shirts. But he’ll be out shaking as many hands as he can, trying to win over voters one at a time.

“I want to move people,” Schwaegerle said. “I want them to feel connected to Cal Poly and inspired to get involved. That’s what I really want to do.”

Kyle Jordan continued from pg 1.

JOSEPH PACK | MUSTANG NE WS

After his friend decided not to run for ASI president at the last minute, Jordan decided to run with similar goals in mind. He missed the deadline to file for candidacy, so he registered to be a write-in candidate.

“I felt like the things that he was going to support were some of the things I wanted,” Jordan said. “I don’t know enough about the other two candidates yet, but I feel like the things I wanted out of him, I can represent for the campus.”

Being a write-in candidate means Jordan’s name will not formally appear on the official ballot. Rather, voters will have the option to type in his name at the bottom of the ballot on their Cal Poly Portal.

According to the ASI Election

Code, Jordan will be able to participate in ASI events along with the other candidates. ASI Recruitment and Development chair Gabriella Bragoli could not be reached for comment.

With his campaign slogan, “Write in your future at Cal Poly,” Jordan wants to be the voice between the students and the administration to help improve communication between the two groups. He envisions better inclusion in the decision-making process in all of the university’s diverse interests, Jordan said.

“It’s not so much that I want to be president,” Jordan said. “I want somebody to be president who’s good at listening to everybody, who’s good at making the right decisions based on those

recommendations and making sure that campus is headed in the right direction.”

Jordan doesn’t have any previous experience with student government, but in the short time he has been at Cal Poly, he has been already been appointed to current ASI President Joi Sullivan’s executive cabinet. He has also had experience in his major with conflict management classes, resource management classes and working with diverse groups of people to come to decisions.

Jordan has been elected as the mountain bike race director for next year for the Wheelmen, a bicycle racing team and club on campus, where he’ll gain experience running and organizing races for the club.

“People have already put a lot of trust in me, and I’m trying to get the rest of campus to do the same,” Jordan said.

He also feels qualified for the position because he worked either part-time or full-time while continuing his education, he said. He has experience working with the public, colleagues and vendors, as well as communication and coordination with others.

“I’m not going to lie and say that there’s not a lot of unknown and I’ve never done it before, but I am up for the challenge,” Jordan said. “I’m not a stranger to hard work or long days.

I’ll put in the effort needed to take both the campaign and the job seriously.”

DYLAN SUN | MUSTANG NE WS IT’S PERSONAL | “Do it yourself ” bands pour their hearts and souls into their shows and recordings.

AUDIO FILES continued from pg 1.

Smith’s first step to creating music of her own was with four-track cassette machines, which created lo-fidelity recordings while giving them a more “personal sound.”

When the recording is one-of-akind, lo-fi and minimally made, I hear the honesty of the music. I no longer care about the appearance of the album cover or whether or not the album is popular.

In my position at the station, I’m allowed to add older music alongside the new alternative stuff. For me, these are often forgotten albums and overlooked gems. This is when I break out Linda Smith’s rare CDs and sev-

en-inch records, bands started by New York art scene proponents like David Wojnarowicz’s 3 Teens Kill 4, and adolescent post-punks like United Kingdom group The Prats.

Smith is not the only artist of her kind. San Luis Obispo has its own DIY scene where dozens rally into houses to hear touring folk virtuoso Stephen Steinbrink or join the dance frenzy as local queercore group Loko Ono jams before touring down south. Why do these smalltown artists perform in houses, where the audience is probably one-hundredth of the size they would be at a festival? It’s because these performances are personal, where exchanges between the band and the audience

become memorable.

Personal example: When I saw the band Bronze perform in San Luis Obispo, I noticed they brought a small coffeemaker. As we stood against the wall where it was brewing, the coffee pot inevitably spilled but the audience did not care and the band continued enjoying the show as the rich smell of coffee filled the air. Though the experience was bizarre, I felt lucky to have been there.

Whether the sound is coming from a screaming face one foot away or a croon into a cassette recording in someone’s bedroom, my favorite thing about music is the unadulterated honesty and creativity that the artist personally employs.

#IAmCalPoly photo campaign to put student diversity on display

JOSEPH PACK | MUSTANG NE WS #I A MC A L P OLY

| The Multicultural Center and Robert E. Kennedy Librar y have teamed up for a campaign celebrating diversity among Cal Poly students’ personal identities and stories.

Brenna Swanston @brenna_swanston

“Just because I am quiet doesn’t mean I am invisible. I fought hard to be here.”

“I am American. I am Muslim. I am Lebanese/Syrian. I am Munir.”

“I am Saisa. I am unique. I do not fit into a category or box. I am me!”

These were some personal statements made by Cal Poly students as part of the MultiCultural Center’s (MCC) #IAmCalPoly campaign, which kicks off April 17 to celebrate student diversity across campus.

The campaign will include a photo exhibit on the second floor of Robert E. Kennedy Library, displaying portraits of students of different ethnicities, areas of study, personality types and passions. Each portrait, captured by a student photographer, is complemented by its subject’s handwritten self-description.

Biomedical engineering senior

Munir Eltal was one of several Muslim Student Association members invited by the MCC to participate in the campaign.

They, alongside members of other campus groups, answered a series of questions about their Cal Poly experience, such as whether they felt welcome on campus when they first arrived or if there was ever a time they felt they couldn’t be themselves.

“It was them trying to spark discussion among students from diverse backgrounds,” Eltal said.

At the end of the interview, Eltal and other participating students were given a whiteboard and asked to write whatever they identify themselves with.

Students responded with their ethnicities, religious affiliations, sexual orientations and other characteristics.

“It really helps to see students coming in from different backgrounds, different religions, different races,” Eltal said. “It makes people aware that, hey, this may

not be the norm and this may not be what you see every day, but these are the students here and this is what’s happening.”

The MCC intends for the campaign to provide a platform for students to share their personal statements and stories. The exhibit’s webpage describes it as giving “a visual and first-hand account of student perspectives on cultural identity and the importance of the campus coming together to embrace the evolving diversity on campus.”

UC Santa Barbara professor Kip Fulbeck inspired the campaign.

He will accompany the student photo series with parts of his own traveling photo exhibit, a multiracial identity project called “Kip Fulbeck: Part Asian, 100% Hapa.”

The photo exhibit will be on display in the library from April 17 to June 5. Fulbeck will also host an opening reception and talk on May 8 from 3 to 5:30 p.m. on the library’s second-floor Cafe Lounge.
