OUT-OF-STATE STUDENT FEE ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES FEE FOR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS TO FUND LOW-INCOME IN-STATE STUDENTS

Rachel Marquardt @ rachmmarie

Cal Poly administration has proposed an increase in incoming out-of-state students’ fees to fund a grant to help incoming low-income California students. The Cal Poly Opportunity Grant (CPOG) will help pay Cal Poly fees for incoming California-resident students who meet specific low-income qualifications.

To accumulate the money needed to sustain this grant, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong proposed the Cal Poly Opportunity Fee (CPOF) to be applied to incoming outof-state students. The fee would begin as $2,010 per year for out-of-state students, either starting their freshman year or transferring to Cal Poly in Fall 2018. The fee would then increase by that amount for each new year. Freshmen starting in Fall 2019 would pay $4,020 per year and

freshmen starting in 2020 would pay $6,030 per year. Students starting in 2021 and beyond would pay $8,040 per year. In its first year in effect, the grant will only apply to low-income students in the College of Engineering. Armstrong said he hopes all majors will be included in the grant by 2023, depending on the amount of money the university obtains for the grant. The grant will be available to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) re-

cipients, but will not be open to low-income out-of-state students. The grant and fee have not been formally approved yet. Beginning this month, the proposition will be scrutinized by the Campus Fee Advisory Committee and will be presented to Associated Students, Inc. prior to a final decision, estimated to be made by mid-March.

New bill requires Health Center to provide abortion medication Aidan McGloin @ mcgloin_aidan

A bill that would require the Cal Poly Health Center to offer medical abortion has passed in the California Senate and will be debated at the Assembly. Medical abortion is non-surgical and induces abortion by ingesting a pill. SB 320, introduced by Sen. Connie Leyva, would establish a fund, supported by private donations, to pay for student health centers to provide the abortion pill, which can be taken orally within 10 weeks of conception. This would apply to the California State University and University of California systems.

“Termination of a pregnancy is a constitutionally protected right and women should be able to access that right in a timely, safe and financially feasible way,” Levya said at the third Senate hearing of the bill Jan. 29. The Senate passed the bill 25-13. Karen Meckstroth, a clinical professor at the University of California, San Francisco, spoke in favor of the bill. “The evidence is clear that medical abortion is about 98 percent effective for early abortion and extremely safe,” Meckstroth said. “Even Tylenol and Viagra have narrower safety margins and higher risk than these medications.” Sen. John Moorlach voted against the measure because he said he did not feel comfort-

able providing access to abortion through a state-funded office with some taxpayers objecting to medical abortion. “I’m wondering why we need to have state involvement and state costs involved here when a private foundation can do this without state involvement or state expenditures,” Moorlach said. When the bill was introduced in April 2017, 24 speakers in public comment were in favor — including the American Civil Liberties Union of California and Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California — and 10 speakers were opposed. If the bill passes in the Assembly without any changes, it will be sent to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk to be signed.

If [Cal Poly] is raising the tuition for 15% of it’s students, one would think 85% of people would vote “Yes” on this poll since it would benefit them. The irony is that 85% of people voted “No” on this poll, including in-state students.

The inexpensive tuition for out of state students is one of the biggest driving factors behind me coming to Cal Poly and also for me not graduating with crippling amounts of student debt like too many [people] in the country...

How it’s made: Cal Poly Chocolate Nick Dockery @ MNDockery

Is there anything as delicious as a fresh bar of chocolate? The smell. The texture. The taste. Whatever it is that draws you to chocolate, Cal Poly Chocolates perfects it. The process of creating chocolate is a mix of patience, quality control and troubleshooting. On Jan. 24, Mustang News had the chance to sit in as a team of 10 students created the flavors of the week: dark chocolate raspberry crisp. Though it isn’t Willy Wonka’s wonderland, Cal Poly Chocolates nonetheless brings the spirit of that chocolatier to life. The talented and disciplined group of students endeavor in the labs of the Food Processing (building 24) to create the perfect chocolate bar. From melting to mixing When the chocolate first comes to the Pilot Plant, it is in a relatively raw form, shaped in shallow tear drops. They mix it into a tempering wheel that slowly melts and churns the chocolate until it is smooth. Food science senior and Cal Poly Chocolates student manager Rachel Rosenbloom explains why the heating is vital to good chocolate. “Heating the chocolate to 97 degrees melts all cocoa butter fat crystals,” Rosenbloom said. “Bringing the temperature down to 89 degrees allows only desired fat crystals to form, while the rest stay melted. This tempering process makes the chocolate uniform and gives it a shiny appearance.” While it churns, flavorings like freeze dried raspberries are mixed in. Through this process, Cal Poly Chocolates produces anywhere from 100 to 125 pounds of chocolate per week. From its cycles on the wheels, the chocolate is poured into a depositor machine that equally distributes chocolate into mold trays, each with five bars. The machine is prone to deviation and the variation in flavors and fillings means it needs constant adjustment.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS 101 | Open communication, mutual respect for differing opinions and trust are several important factors that contribute to healthy relationships.

How you know you’re in a healthy and happy relationship Josh Ortlip @ CPMustangNews

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, many students think of love, romance and what it means to be happy in a relationship. Whether or not you are in a relationship, it is vital to consider what a good relationship looks like so you, your partner or your friends can be healthy and happy. Here are some ways to proactively pursue a healthy relationship and avoid the pitfalls of an unhealthy one. Communication Communication is essential to a relationship, whether it be in resolving an issue or just listening to what your partner has to say. Partners who have consistent communication will keep conflict to a minimum. Kara Samaniego, Safer office coordinator, weighed in on the importance of communication. “In a healthy relationship, people should feel comfortable talking to their partner, whether it’s about something good or something that might be bothering them. And listening — there has to be empathy and al-

lowing your partner the space to share their thoughts and be heard,” Samaniego said. However, no relationship is without its conflict. Disagreements will arise and that’s OK. This is when communication is most essential to keeping the relationship in check. “Being able to thoughtfully and respectfully navigate conflicts that might arise is important,” Samaniego said. Personal beliefs Having a strong sense of who you are as an individual is necessary in representing your personal beliefs. In a relationship, it is essential to share a common bond with your partner, something that unites you as people and helps define the relationship. Mechanical engineering junior Noah Thompson said he understands the importance of sharing personal values with a partner. “I think it is important to center the relationship on something that has meaning to each person, whether it be religion, hobbies or passions that bring each person closer to one another,” Thompson said. It is also helpful to respect your partner’s

differences. Not everyone may share the same beliefs, so it is important to be respectful. According to Samaniego, there must be mutual respect in relationships and those involved should have each other’s best interests in mind. Trust A healthy relationship is built around trust between partners. While spending time together is important, knowing you can trust your partner when you are apart is a significant factor in reducing stress on the relationship. Business administration sophomore Antoine Noel cites trust as a defining part of a relationship. “Trusting your partner when they are far away from you, that is really what is important, especially in a long-distance relationship or if you travel a lot,” Noel said. Spending time apart can be beneficial in a relationship even if you live together. According to Samaniego, spending time away from your partner can help strengthen trust. “Everyone needs time to recharge with friends or by themselves, and that should be accepted and encouraged by your partner” Samaniego said.

Jealousy and suspicion decrease if a solid foundation of trust lets you spend time apart. Signs of an unhealthy relationship It’s important to be able to identify the signs of an unhealthy relationship as well. Samaniego said she believes in the importance of recognizing and addressing harmful behavior. She believes it is necessary to ask yourself some questions when considering your relationship. “Is your partner being respectful, even when they disagree, or do they insult you and put you down? Do you feel safe speaking up when you disagree? Anytime someone feels unsafe in their relationship, it’s important that you find someone you trust to talk to,” Samaniego said. If you or a friend feel the need to speak with someone in confidence, Cal Poly’s campus resources such as Safer, PULSE and counseling services are great places to seek help and advice. Ultimately, a healthy relationship will leave you and your partner happy with each other and encourage you to spend time and make memories together as you go through your college experience.

Love has always been an inexplicable emotion. Even the great philosopher Socrates and his peers in Plato’s “Symposium” were left ultimately perplexed by the nature of love. Are we, as a species, really meant to only be with one person for our entire lives, especially now that technological advances have allowed us to live longer and connect with more people than ever before? According to anthropology professor Stacey Rucas, a majority of college students would like to have a committed relationship during their time in school. “Most people are looking for one person to love,” Rucas said. “According to a number of studies, 60 percent of college students will have a long-term relationship in college.” With jealousy ingrained into humans’ emotional motherboard, more people naturally tend to focus on one person when it comes to love. Rucas referred to love in three stages: the lust phase, the attraction phase and the attachment phase. During the lust phase, Rucas said a per-

son is simply experiencing the novelty of their new partner. When they move into the attraction phase, they begin to think about their partner constantly and their decision-making or productivity can be affected. In the attachment phase, Rucas said a person can no longer imagine life without their partner and their partner is always on their mind. When individuals are in the lust stage of love, the relationship is often polyamorous, or non-monogamous. Prior to becoming exclusive, partners will sometimes date multiple people at a time in order to be able to easily choose the best match. “It is possible to love more than one person at a time,” Rucas said. “But generally, the love a person experiences for multiple people is not equal. Generally, they are experiencing different stages of love.” For example, when a person is dating multiple people, they may feel different levels of attachment to their partners. However, many adults cross-culturally live in a pair bond and many cultures accept monogamy as the norm. So why do humans have such an incredible inclination

of technology, there may be a correlation between its advancement and the increasing complexity of cheating. Today, one can interact with more people than ever before, thanks to the internet. New ways of cheating have arisen, such as chatting with someone intimately online, or even watching pornography in some instances. Additionally, dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble have made it easier for people to succumb to temptations. However, while it has become easier to meet new people and cheat, the appreciation society has for a loyal partner in a temptation-ridden world has increased as well. When a partner wishes to present themselves as an open book, it is truly something magical. “Deep love overpowers the need for sleep, food, even sex,” Rucas said. “Without love, what do we really have?”

Millennials are getting married later in life Grace Arthur @ gracearthurrr

Millennials are not getting married as early in their lives as older generations. The Pew Research Center states that anyone born from 1931 to 1999 makes up the Millennial generation. According to a 2016 Gallup poll, only 27 percent of Millennial Americans are married. However, 32 percent of Generation X-ers and 40 percent of Baby Boomers were married at that age. According to a 2015 Pew Research Survey, the average age of marriage for women in 1963 was 21 and the average age for men was 23. In contrast, Millennial women marry at an average of 27 and Millennial men marry at an average age of 29. For many, it is not a matter of wanting to get married, but rather being able to get married. Millennials’ financial situations can hinder their ability to get married. According to Forbes, the median household income is 20 percent less than the Baby Boomer generation at the age of marriage. “Especially now with rising college tuition, younger people find themselves in more and

more debt when they graduate college,” software engineering freshman Sarah Samora said. “Marriage tends to be an economic partnership as much as anything, and it’s just not an ideal situation, especially if one person has more debt than the other and vice versa.” While some Millennials hold reservations about marriage for financial reasons, others do not see the purpose in getting married. “I don’t really see a distinct point in [marriage] other than possible tax benefits and other legal benefits, I could possibly see that,” psychology freshman Kat Scarry said. “But for myself personally, morally wise, I don’t see the tradition of marriage as being something that is a super important thing that needs to be carried on, or that you need it for a fulfilling life.” In spite of skeptical attitudes toward marriage, some Millennials feel differently. Camille and Owen Schwaegerle exemplify this. The couple married the summer after graduating from Cal Poly in 2017; Owen was 23 and Camille was 21. “All of our mentors, and all of our friends, all of our family members see how much Owen and I challenged each other to grow and what a mutual benefit it is for both of us to live our

lives married versus single,” Camille said. Camille said she believes there are many benefits to getting married at a younger age and mentioned that she has 20 to 30 friends who are already married, too. “We have [had] the opportunity to build an interdependent lifestyle from the start,”

Camille said. Although the majority of Millennials stray away from marriage or getting married later, it is certainly not true of all Millennials. Trends come and go, so the next generation could potentially return to the marriage rates of older generations.

Are humans meant to be in monogamous relationships?

toward infidelity? “A person cheating on their partner does not mean that they have fallen out of love with them,” Rucas said. “They still have deep affection for their partner in most cases. Cheating is an incredibly perplexing topic and we simply can’t seem to explain exactly why it occurs.” It is very hard to pinpoint why people cheat. Perhaps it is because of a person’s desire for independence or novelty. Simply put, it is individual-specific. Additionally, the data are difficult to grasp. According to Rucas, anywhere from a third to half of all adults commit infidelity, and the number could be even higher because some people may not admit infidelity under any circumstances. One of the commonly believed explanations for why individuals cheat is because they may become bored, developing a conscious — or unconscious — need for novelty. This could be the case in many situations, but cannot be generalized to all cases of infidelity “Long-term sex with someone you are deeply in love with is much different than casual sex with someone new,” Rucas said. “Different hormones are being produced. Flings are driven by lust, shock and unfamiliarity; naturally, they fade quickly. However, when you have sex with someone you really love, oxytocin is produced. Being the love hormone, oxytocin makes you feel deep affection and closeness, emotions that every human being cherishes and possesses the will to not only work towards, but to keep for as long as possible.” Looking at the exponential development

‘Don’t Believe The Hype’: the unique elements of the hip-hop library exhibit Isabel Hughes @ isabeljhughes

From April 12 to June 15, the Robert E. Kennedy Library will showcase an exhibit entitled “Don’t Believe The Hype: The Radical Elements of Hip Hop” in collaboration with the Ethnic Studies Department and the Architecture Department. The exhibit will feature cohesive, interactive displays encompassing the five radical elements of hip-hop: graffiti writing, breakdancing, deejaying, emceeing and knowledge production. An opening reception will be held April 19, which will consist of live performances by students and regional DJs as well as other opportunities to experience elements of hip-hop. Behind the Exhibition Every year, Kennedy Library hosts an exhibit fusing the expertise of a faculty member with student contributions to produce a display Cal Poly students can connect with.

SPIN

These exhibits allow faculty to publish their research and scholarship non-traditionally and collaborate with students. Exhibit and Campus Arts Curator Catherine Trujillo discussed last year’s exhibit, which was centered around incarceration, rehabilitation and art’s unique power to surpass social boundaries. “Last year, we had a project called ‘Between the Bars;’ it was a scholarship of Dr. Unique Shaw-Smith where it was trying to show rehabilitation can take place in prisons. We brought in the artwork of incarcerated men from the California Men’s Colony just up the road,” Trujillo said. Other past exhibits also exposed students to a range of topics including “Mars Within Reach: Arctic Melodies and Science from the Red Planet” and “ChismeArte ¡Y Que!: Expanding L.A.’s Chicano Aesthetic.” “It’s an opportunity for students who are in the library, going to and from class, in a group study, contemplating life quietly, to actually experience and engage with

this research that they might not have had the opportunity to engage with before,” Trujillo said. This year,Trujillo is working with ethnic studies professor Jenell Navarro on the exhibit. Trujillo and Navarro have collaborated to carefully gather a group of student scholars who have backgrounds in the different areas of hip-hop. These student scholars include sociology and ethnic studies senior Jeremiah Hernandez who will focus on the emcee element of the exhibit, landscape architecture senior Maren Hill, who will focus on the graffiti element, art and design senior John Duch, who will focus on the breakdancing element and industrial engineering senior Logan Kregness, who will focus on the deejaying element. Along with this team of student scholars, architecture professor Tom di Santo’s architecture seniors will be creating physical structures to represent the various elements of hip-hop. The students have been provided criteria to shape their creations along with an overview by Navarro to educate them on the magnitude of hip-hop’s influence and history. They have been divided into five teams of four that are each responsible for one element of hip-hop. “Their role in the exhibit is really to bring to life in built formation our conceptual development around the radical elements of hip-hop, and that’s no small task,” Navarro said. In addition to Trujillo, Navarro, the student scholars and the architecture students, there is a library exhibit team who will also curate the exhibit. This team consists of art and design senior Anna Teiche, who is the art director for the project, art and design senior Tommy Stoeckinger, who is responsible for fabrication, and art and design junior Hannah Travis, who is responsible for photo design.

Hip-hop as an educator These teams have worked together closely to produce an exhibit that will express how the true essence of hip-hop reaches far beyond music. They reject the misconception of hip-hop as simply music and highlight the social and political consciousness that hiphop encompasses. Kregness said he hopes the exhibit makes an impact. “I hope that it makes students think more about what hip-hop really is, above just music. I feel like a lot of people kind of get it skewed. They think that hip-hop is like dope beats and lit concerts and turn-up music and dope rappers and stuff like that, but it’s more than that. It is indeed a culture … I hope they consider the conscious side of it a lot more,” Kregness said. “I’m hoping that the audience of Cal Poly students who like hip-hop just for the music come through and kind of understand why it’s important to black culture and why it really is the people’s culture.” Navarro explained the exhibit will be immersive, consisting of quotes from artists, texts that explain each element, historical and contemporary photos and original student work from Hip-Hop, Poetics and Politics (ES 310). Trujillo said there will be moments for both reflection and engagement while experiencing the exhibit. The teams curating this event aim to educate students about the development and many facets of hip-hop, while shedding light on the experiences of communities of people of color. “For me, if hip-hop isn’t educating, then we’re not really listening, or maybe we’re not listening to the right hip-hop or telling the corrective history of this culture, because it’s an educational tool and that’s its most promising and perspective form,” Navarro said.

Viewing the Central Coast through the lens of landscape photographers Emily Merten @ e_merten

Landscape photographers across San Luis Obispo agree: from rolling green hills to deserts and dunes, the Central Coast provides a unique and diverse terrain for their craft. This is why renowned landscape and surf photographer Chris Burkard, a Pismo Beach native, has kept the Central Coast his home base in the midst of global photo assignments. “I was born and raised in this area,” Burkard said. “It was a small town and, like anybody, when I grew up I wanted to get out of here and see more of the world. I think what ended up happening was I realized some point along my early years of traveling that this was an amazing place to come back to.” Although traveling and discovering new terrain was essential to his development as a photographer, Burkard, who boasts an Instagram following of 2.9 million, often found himself yearning for landscapes that reminded him of home. “I really missed the open space and the open landscape,” Burkard said. “I think it was the rolling hills of Big Sur and the open dirt roads of San Luis Obispo — those were the places I missed and those were the places that inspired me the most. So when I was out on the road, I was constantly searching for places similar to home because that’s what inspired me. It made sense to stay here.” Industrial technology and packaging junior

HOME

Jesse Morrison started taking photos for that very reason: he was inspired by the diverse landscapes the Central Coast had to offer. “I started taking photos right around when I came to Cal Poly and that’s definitely not a coincidence,” Morrison said. Coming from San Clemente, California, Morrison was inspired by San Luis Obispo’s proximity to open stretches of vast land and wilderness. “All of Orange County is one giant suburb basically,” Morrison said. “But here, you can go like a mile [out] of town and feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. You can drive up into the hills and be the only person around for miles.” Morrison started to explore his new home and one day, he brought a camera with him. The occasional hobby cascaded into an obsession. He spent hours on end exploring and capturing images. In Fall 2017, he created Poly Photo Association, Cal Poly’s only active photography club. But his love for photos did not start with shooting. “Editing [photos] came a lot before actually taking photos for me,” Morrison said. “I never even considered picking up a camera before coming here, because I really liked doing the editing and digital art.” Morrison likes to combine two photos taken at different times or locations, a technique called compositing. He spends hours at a time in one location, capturing the difference in time and blending them together.

Post-production editing is standard among landscape photographers, but there is a growing debate over its purpose in the photography world. Some photographers keep editing to a minimum, while others utilize the tool to create a new image unlike the original. “It’s a pretty big thing that’s going on in the photography industry right now,” Morrison said. “It’s kind of a battle between traditional and modern technology.” Graphic communication professor Brian Lawler, who has been taking photos for more than 50 years, insisted that photo manipulation has been used for generations. Others just used different techniques. Before Photoshop, photographers would manipulate photos in dark rooms to enhance their images. Many of these techniques have been replicated as tools found on today’s digital photo editing programs. “There’s nothing wrong with it, ethically or otherwise,” Lawler said. “Landscape photography is art. You may do anything you want.” Morrison agreed. “With any kind of art, I think you only move the medium forward by breaking the rules,” Morrison said. “It’s making art in a way that wasn’t possible before.” For biological sciences sophomore Nico Aguilar, photography is about capturing the details of his surroundings as they exist. “I’m not very good at many other forms of art,” Aguilar said. “So when I got a camera for the first time, I thought, ‘Woah, it’s exactly

the way I like it.’ Because I like things the way they are. And photography allowed me to just share the perfection that is already out there.” Aguilar found ample opportunities for new and diverse landscapes when he came to San Luis Obispo his freshman year. “It combines that feeling of the Pacific Northwest, but also those sunny California beaches,” Aguilar said. Some of these photographers’ favorite shooting locations in the area are the Oceano Dunes, Montaña de Oro State Park and Serenity Swing. These locations exemplify the natural beauty that has inspired so many landscape photographers. “It’s somewhere everyone wants to be, but not everyone can be,” Aguilar said. “So I think sharing that with people who don’t have the privilege to come here is something really special that people enjoy to see.” Burkard loves to bring that same joy from his travels back to his hometown. With every location he has been, from the vast waters of Iceland to the beaches of India, Burkard has brought pieces of the world home to San Luis Obispo. “There’s something about being able to empower your own community and the people you love and care about — being able to realize that this place is what inspired me to want to get out and go see the world, but also bringing the things I learned from the world back here,” Burkard said.

Duch said that hip-hop’s power is also rooted in its ability to unite people through creative outlets. “I come from the b-boy background of it so to me it’s all about community, it’s all about love,” Duch said. “It’s a huge interest that brings so many different backgrounds together just based on one interest. When you go to sessions, jams, competitions you see so many different people, but all of them are interested in breaking or b-boy-

I hope this brings attention to underrepresented voices and viewpoints and challenges sexism and racism.

| Di Matteo argues that President Jeffrey Armstrong is unfairly targeting out-of-state students in an attempt to increase diversity through the Opportunity Grant and Fee.

Out-of-state pulling the weight: the Cal Poly Opportunity Fee is unfair Andi Di Matteo @ andimatteo_

Andi Di Matteo is a journalism senior and Mustang News social media editor. The views expressed in this column do not reflect the viewpoints and editorial coverage of Mustang News. Di Matteo was not involved in the writing or editing of “Administration proposes adding fee to out-of-state students to fund grant for low-income in-state students.” This month, Cal Poly unveiled a plan for yet another fee increase under the guise of increasing diversity. This time, it unfairly targets out-ofstate students and their families. The Cal Poly Opportunity Grant and Fee proposes increasing already high out-of-state student tuition to provide financial assistance to California students who couldn’t afford to attend otherwise. This fee would go into effect as early

as Fall 2018, meaning out-of-state students who receive acceptance next month may be forced to enroll elsewhere. Only 50 percent of the revenue from the proposed fee would actually fund the grant it’s named for, 25 percent would go to support services for low-income students and the final 25 percent would go toward the general Cal Poly budget, which can be used at the discretion of President Jeffrey Armstrong. Over a four-year period, out-of-state students starting in Fall 2018 would contribute an additional $2,010 per year to Armstrong’s fund. Once the full fee takes effect in 2021, out of state students would be giving $8,040 per year to Armstrong’s fund. Armstrong claimed out-of-state students have the privilege of choosing to attend a university in their home state or coming to Cal Poly. However, students in California actually have far more educational opportunity, with more than 200 four-year universities and colleges in the state.

For context, Utah has 35, Montana has 22 and Idaho has six. Cal Poly has failed over and over again to increase diversity, and it continues to fail students of color. A recent ranking deeming Cal Poly one of the nation’s worst institutions for Latinx students proves that funding for resources or scholarships alone does not improve the general atmosphere or make students of color feel accepted. Recent attempts to increase diversity, such as ending early decision enrollment, resulted in Cal Poly admitting an estimated 850 more students than originally planned, putting a strain on on-campus housing and class offerings. I’ve never had to defend my out-of-state identity or the validity of my position as a student here. Nor should I be made to feel like I’m taking the spot of a student who would statistically “improve diversity.” Having a few thousand more students of color means nothing unless Cal

Poly simultaneously encourages an accepting campus climate and equips students with the tools to have effective conversations about differences (Free speech wall? Milo Yiannopoulos? Anyone?). The “add poor people of color and stir” approach Armstrong proposes is equally insulting to Californians. Out-of-state families are just as invested in diversity as Californians. However, the best way to increase diversity is not by increasing tuition. Diversity and affordability are not synonymous. Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo are cost-prohibitive for other reasons, from exorbitant rent that continues to rise, to the expense of transportation to and from wherever students call home. Diversity exists in more than just race. Outof-state students, regardless of race or income, bring a different perspective to Californians. If only I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard a bad potato joke after telling people I’m from Idaho, maybe I’d be able to afford this tuition hike.

Three new student athletes hit the beach Lauren Pluim & Nate Edelman @ CPMustangNews

Cal Poly beach volleyball added three transfer students to its program: freshman Tia Miric, junior Tessa Tooman and freshman Jamie Stivers. All three have a winning pedigrees and will play for the Mustangs when this year’s season begins. Tia Miric A freshman transfer from Western University in London, Ontario, Canada, Miric led Canada to its first U-21 World Beach Volleyball Championship in 2014, also winning tournament MVP. She is also a three-time Provincial champion, which is the largest volleyball tournament in British Columbia, a three-time national champion, a two-time Provincial silver medalist and a twotime Provincial bronze medalist. She dominated as an indoor volleyball player, becoming a two-time Ontario champion, earning two consecutive Provincial All-Star Awards and two Canadian National All-Star Awards. Miric was mainly drawn to Cal Poly by beach volleyball head coach Todd Rogers. “For [Rogers] to contact me and ask me to play for him was the most incredible thing that could’ve happened, so that’s really what drew me here,” Miric said. “Then realizing what an amazing school this was just made it even better, so it was first Todd, but then reading into what Cal Poly is like was amazing.” Rogers remarked that Miric is “a fantastic defender with experience above and beyond her years.”

Tessa Tooman Tooman transferred from Santa Monica Junior College where she was the team’s number one seed and captain. She also competed for the San Diego Beach Volleyball Club, which was the number-one ranked team in the nation at the time. Tooman was also the number one seed for La Jolla High School’s beach volleyball team. For Tooman, Cal Poly has become somewhat of a family tradition. “A lot of my family has gone here,” Tooman said. “It really feels like home for sure.” Rogers called Tooman a “solid all-around player who can block or defend as well as play left side or right side.” Jamie Stivers Stivers is a freshman transfer from Duke University and will compete for both the Cal Poly beach and indoor volleyball teams. According to Rogers, Stivers has an exceptional hand-eye ability and touch on the ball. Playing on Duke’s indoor team, Stivers started 18 of the team’s 30 matches while finishing second on her team in aces and fifth in kills. She also was a Prepvolleyball.com High School All-American and Under Armour All-America honorable mention while at Coppell High School in Coppell, Texas. Stivers was also selected to participate in the USA Volleyball High-Performance Sand program from 2012 to 2015. “All three players are experienced players and there is no substitute for experience in beach

volleyball,” Rogers said. “The experience they have along with the experienced players on the team will help bring us to the next level; that level [is] being competitive with the top 10 teams in the country and making the NCAA tournament.” Miric, Tooman and Stivers will all be in action together for the first time when the Mustangs take on Louisiana State (LSU), Grand Canyon (GCU), and Pepperdine on Feb. 23 in Phoenix.

CAN YOU DIG IT?

“Our opening weekend in Phoenix, we will be playing three of the eight teams that made the NCAA tournament last year … this should give us an idea of where we stand compared to the teams that have been at the top over the last several years,” Rogers said. “Throughout the course of the season, we will be playing all but a handful of the top teams, so we will be constantly tested.”

Dynn Leaupepe climbs to third in all-time scoring as Mustangs down 49ers Sawyer Milam @ CPMustangNews

Cal Poly women’s basketball bounced back from Thursday’s loss to UC Davis by defeating Long Beach State 70-61 Saturday afternoon in Mott Athletics Center. With the win, the Mustangs (14-9, 8-3) remained in third place in the Big West Conference standings while Long Beach State (3-21,1-9) remained in last place. Senior guard Dynn Leaupepe moved into third on Cal Poly’s all-time scoring list with her first basket of the game early in the first quarter, finishing the game with a team-high 17 points along with a game-high nine rebounds, five assists and three steals. “It’s very humbling and I’m very blessed to be able to be mentioned in the top three in Cal Poly history, so I think I’m just going to keep working hard and go wherever the wind takes me,” Leaupepe said. The Mustangs trailed 20-11 at the end of

the first quarter as the 49ers sank five of eight three-point attempts while the Mustangs made only one out of their seven threepoint attempts. “I don’t feel like we were our sharpest today, but it is always good to get a win,” head coach Faith Mimnaugh said. “Long Beach State is very athletic and so young and scary.” Cal Poly’s cold shooting continued through the first half as they were held to 28 percent shooting from the floor before halftime. With just more than two minutes remaining in the second half, a flagrant foul by Long Beach gave the Mustangs momentum as Leaupepe sank the two penalty free throws. This sparked the Mustangs on a 7-3 run to close out the half with a 28-27 lead. When leading at halftime this season, Cal Poly is 11-1. Freshman guard Ayzhiana Basallo provided an offensive spark for the Mustangs off the bench, scoring five of her eight points in the beginning of the third quarter.

SWOOSH | Dynn Leaupepe moved into third place in Cal Poly’s scoring history Thursday.

“[Ayzhiana] is a walking bucket, you know when she gets in she’s about to give us something, she is about to do some crazy type pass and you better be ready to catch it,” junior guard Dye Stahley said. “She’s definitely another spark plug for us. She comes in and gives us instant offense.” After Long Beach closed it to a 49-48 Mustang lead, Cal Poly went on a 9-2 run to take a 58-50 lead with five minutes re-

maining. From there, the Mustangs kept the 49ers at a distance and closed out the game with a win. Both Leaupepe sisters moved up the leaderboard for career scoring in school history, with Dynn (1,517) going from No. 4 to No. 3 and senior forward Lynn Leaupepe (981) from No. 18 to No. 16. Cal Poly will travel to take on UC Irvine Thursday with tip-off at 5:30 p.m.
