McCallum, early college leader, dies after illness BRIANNE O’SULLIVAN News editor Neil McCallum, a former counselor, dean, and acting president of Ohlone College, died April 15 after a short illness. He was 87. McCallum began his 22year career at Ohlone in 1969 as a counselor. He was then quickly appointed the
director of Arts and Sciences. Shortly after Ohlone moved from its temporary Serra Campus to the current Fremont campus, he was appointed vice president of instruction, a position he held for 16 years. “Under his astute direction, both the college’s curContinued on Page 2

JOY MOON Staff writer More than 50 people gathered to celebrate the student artists of Ohlone at the Juried Student Art Exhibition reception on Tuesday. Teachers were elated to see their students’ faces light up when receiving awards. There were 10 categories, and three awards in each category. The President’s award was personally given to students by college President Gari Browning. The two other awards were Juror’s Choice. “Every juror is different; there is so much good work in here,” Gallery Director Dina Rubiolo said. “Everyone reacts to a different way. Let’s celebrate for the people that won awards, and let’s
keep working hard, and it will definitely pay off.” Faculty and students who were involved in the show thanked students in the Museum Studies and Gallery Techniques class, which provides an introduction to the operation and display techniques of visual art within a gallery and museum space. Many of the students saw their classmates receive awards. “I didn’t really expect anything, but the most important thing is that at least I participated,” said Rajeev Bhayro, who won a Juror’s Choice award for 2-D Design. “Besides, if you discover your inner self, your inner talent, that will help you to explore your ideas, then you’ll always expect the unexpected.”

Playwrights Festival returns to Ohlone for second year RISHABH SINGHAL Staff writer The Student Repertory Theatre will perform a series of 10-minute plays by writers all over the country. More than 400 submissions were made for the Playwrights Festival after the large turnout and enthusiasm for last year’s festival. “We started this festival to promote and cultivate new plays that will engage and speak directly to a younger audience,” festival producer Michael Navarra said. “It’s great to see a strong interest in this endeavor on and off
campus.” The Department of Theatre and Dance chose 10 submissions for the festival, with the aim of engaging college students and acquainting youth with live theatre. “Me and My Shadow,” written by Ron Burch and directed by Mario Rappa, is one of the selections currently in rehearsal. “It is a dialogue piece between the main character, Robert, and his shadow,” Rappa said. “They have been together since Robert was
born, but Robert is very boring, and the shadow wants out. It kind of reflects the pushed-down aspect of our psyche that wants something different from what’s familiar.” The performances will be at 8 p.m. May 5 and 6 at the Smith Center on the Fremont campus. All 10 plays will be performed on both nights. Tickets cost $10, and can be bought at the box office or at the Smith Center website at www.ohlone. edu/org/smithcenter.

FEATURES Responses to KISQ format change In my last radio column, I reported that KISQ changed their music format from rhythmic oldies to a soft adult contemporary format and re-branded itself as 98.1 The Breeze. Many readers expressed outrage over this change. Here is a sample of the comments that I received on the Monitor website: “I don’t get it, all the iHeartRadio publicity concerts and contest? Why did they change, they should [have] just bought another station they can afford it. I understand about the other comment that 98.1 is one of the very few you can get clear in some areas! Seriously that’s true, so know we get ‘oldies’ not ‘old school throwbacks’ WTF hey no offense but the ‘baby-boomers’ generation are going, & going fast. This
is our time now Generation X! Game Recognize Game.” - Alicia “This is very sad! There’s another Old School station you should check out that’s called Steve Fox’s Old School on the web. It’s right here in the Bay Area and it’s great! It’s perfect for those who listened to 98.1 KISS FM.” - Steve “But we already had adult contemporary music radio stations ‘Grandmas radio stations’ from the Bay Area 94.5 KBAY, 96.5 KOIT, and Now breeze 98.1 all play the same format, same songs. The bay now flooded with grandmas’ radio stations.” - Kevin from San Jose “KOIT ditched their ‘lite rock’ format for ‘music for a better workday’ (and booted all their old air staff in the process). Nowadays they’re inching more into top-40 territory, playing the likes of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and No Doubt, which is hardly ‘grandma music.’ 94.5 and 98.1 don’t come in all that well where I live, and even their respective playlists are apples and oranges.” - WordzofWizdom “Not too disappointed over this, to be honest. I liked KISS 98.1 a lot, and no more Sunday night oldies is gonna suck, but they had already lost me as a listener last August after switching to that ‘throwback
old-school’ (a redundancy if there ever was one) format. They instead regressed into a sad knockoff of the superior Q102.” - WordzofWizdom

Sports talker KNBR has signed afternoon host Tom Tolbert to a long-term deal. Tolbert, who also does color commentary for The NBA’s Golden StateWarriors radio broadcasts, has been with the station since 1986. “I’m incredibly fortunate to do what I do where I do it ... signing with KNBR for multiple years was a nobrainer,” Tolbert told the radio industry website All Access.

A new app for women A new iPhone app was just released for women meeting other women! (But it’s not what you think). It’s an app that allows women to find friends and expand their network. The San Francisco-based app was released to the public in January by the company, VINA. VINA is also the creator of LadyBrag.com, a site for women to share anything they are proud of that day. The Hey! VINA app uses quizzes to personalize your profiles and match you with women who share your interests, personality traits, and lifestyle. You can make professional connections or find a friend to talk to, hike with, grab a cup of coffee with, and so much more! According to the Hey! VINA blog, the creators developed the “common
MONITOR APRIL 28, 2016
belief that all it takes is one friend to change your whole life, a passion for bringing people together, and the shared challenge of making new friends as an adult.” I LOVE THIS APP. I don’t personally have the app because I don’t have an iPhone (major bummer), but I looked over someone else’s app and profile. It is well designed, super clear to use, and the general concept behind the app is amazing. This app works to dissipate two common mentalities in our society: the “I just don’t get along with girls” mentality and the “I’m not like other women” mentality. ‘ We all know someone who just doesn’t get along with girls, or isn’t like other women – as if being a woman is a bad thing, as if being feminine is a bad thing, as if having a vagina is a plague. I truly believe that an app like this is a great first step to taking down the stigma about women’s relationships with one another. It will allow women to help build each other up instead of helping society tear them down. For more info on their app and other endeavors, visit www.vina.io.

The big ‘Oh....’ VANESSA LUIS Editor-in-chief When I first met my boyfriend six years ago, he was sexually experienced and an active consumer of porn (as are most boys his age). In the years leading up to our relationship, every girl he was with was happy, pleasing him in every way porn productions showed them how. I’ve never been that girl. I wasn’t a porn star, I wasn’t experienced, I wasn’t graceful or traditionally sexy, and I definitely wasn’t going to sacrifice my pleasure so that he could live out his sexual fantasies (exactly as provided by the porn industry). The average person does not have sex like a porn star. Average sex is not always graceful and perfect. Average sex is sometimes sweaty and uncomfortable, cramps and laughing. The average person doesn’t always orgasm
and the climax is not as sexy as the porn stars (sometimes it’s downright ugly). Being with someone who has a very firm idea of what sex is “supposed” to be was really awful for my selfesteem, and it took time for us to overcome. Now, porn cannot take the full blame for this. Some of y’all just really need a reality check. But the porn industry’s depictions of a healthy sex life are just so inaccurate (and hetero normative, but that’s a talk for another day) that it makes it easy to believe in and romanticize. So what happens when someone has sex with people who do not perform like porn stars? Disappointment and lack of satisfaction. On both ends of the spectrum, porn can be extremely damaging to relationships. However, if used wisely and realistically, porn is a perfectly suitable sexual pastime.

When Beyoncé gives you Lemonade... VANESSA LUIS Editor-in-chief On Saturday night, Beyoncé shut the pop culture universe down with her hourlong film, “Lemonade,” part of her visual album of the same name. The film first aired on HBO and now is available on iTunes and Tidal. I think we can all agree that Lemonade was a masterpiece – powerful, poetic, empowering and devastatingly beautiful. In fact, Beyoncé’s Lemonade is a series of firsts for me: the first time I’ve ever pur-
chased an album and the first time I’ve ever listened to one in its entirety at one time. The Bey-Hive has been buzzing since the release of the album. Lemonade is artful, heartbreaking, and relevant in so many ways. The relevance of this piece, however, has become something of a problem for people whom it is not meant for. This is something you may or may not want to hear, but Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” belongs to Black Women. Since the release of
CAMPUS COMMENT
Lemonade, I’ve witnessed backlash from people who have taken offense to this simple concept. This is not to say that we who are not black women cannot view, consume and appreciate the film; this is to say that the message is by a black woman, featuring black women, for black women. It is empowerment for black women and it is the epitome of #blackgirlmagic. Furthermore, unless you are a black woman, your analysis, critique and suggestions are unwarranted. Do not offer your 2 cents,
do not deconstruct the piece, and do not explain how it is relevant to black culture when it is not your culture. This may seem harsh, but it is necessary. It is critical that we all understand that this art was not meant for me or you. We are outsiders looking in on this historic piece of art. While we may relate to the story of love and betrayal, we must respect the history, culture and power displayed in this film as something for black women. We can support, we can
cheer this movement on, but what we cannot do is pretend it’s ours. Because we, as non-black women, can never fathom what it’s like to be a black woman. It’s time we all sit back and watch #blackgirlmagic in action.

Democrats could win back Senate Copeland to return May 4
Democrats may have a chance to win back the Senate in the upcoming election. Republicans hold 54 seats in the Senate, so Democrats need just five more seats in order to secure the majority. 24 Republican seats and 10 Democratic seats will be contested in 2016. There has been much tension between President Barack Obama and the Republican-held Senate. The latest has been the Senate majority leader’s refusal even to hold a hearing for Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland. If the Democrats are able to hold down the presidency and win back the majority in the Senate, it could seriously change the political atmosphere, and Democrats could become more successful in pushing their agenda. Whomever parties choose as their nominee will have a significant impact on straight-ticket voting. Straight-ticket voting
is a practice where voters in a general election will vote for candidates based on their party affiliation. If there is a presidential candidate who does not garner enough excitement, voter turnout will be low and it may hurt the other candidates in their party. Combined, the parties have reserved $65 million
for Senate television ads. There are seven key elections that Democrats will turn their efforts to in hopes of winning back the Senate: Nevada, Florida (former presidential candidate Marco Rubio decided he would not run for re-election), Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.

Ohlone falls to first-place Cabrillo CRISTIAN MEDINA Sports editor The Ohlone baseball team lost a critical game on Tuesday, losing to the first place Cabrillo College Seahawks. The Renegades’ pitching couldn’t contain Cabrillo’s offense as they went through six pitchers, giving up 10 runs on 14 hits. Ohlone’s offense was kept scoreless until the
bottom of the ninth, but by then it was too late for a comeback. The final score was 10-4. The Renegades have lost two of their last three games after winning three in a row. This comes at a poor time as Ohlone still looks to make a playoff push with two games left and two teams still above them in the standings. Their next game will be today at second-place Cañada.
Softball loses last game of the season CRISTIAN MEDINA Sports editor The Lady Renegades’ regular season didn’t quite end the way they wanted it to as they lost to Chabot 6-4 on Saturday. Ohlone went into the bottom of the fifth inning
ahead 3-1, only to give up five runs to Chabot and never reclaim the lead. Chabot pitchers Dakota Targett and Brenna Lopez kept the Ohlone hitters at bay for most of the game splitting innings. Targett pitched three innings while Lopez threw four. The duo
allowed just three earned runs combined. Pitcher Oceana Orndoff went the distance for the Renegades, pitching six innings with only four of the six Chabot runs being earned runs. Offensively, Ohlone hitters Kassondra Kochan,
Mckayla Saavedra and Shelby Slate accounted for three of the four RBIs in the loss. The Renegades finish the regular season with a 1916-1 overall record and an 8-4 record, good enough for second place in the Coast-North Conference.
In a big but not unexpected move, the Philadelphia Eagles traded for the No. 2 pick in this year’s NFL Draft. The team is expected to draft a quarterback – either Jared Goff or Carson Wentz, depending on who the Rams take at No. 1. Last season, the Eagles traded quarterback Nick Foles to the Rams for the 2010 No. 1 overall draft pick, Sam Bradford. The experiment proved to be unsuccessful as the Eagles finished 7-9 and Bradford capped off another mediocre season. After signing a twoyear extension, Bradford initially reacted to the move by the Eagles to trade up to No. 2 with surprise yet class. However, Bradford now is demanding the Eagles trade him and is refusing to attend any offseason programs. Guess he’s not too thrilled that Philadelphia is getting ready to draft his replacement. He should’ve known there wasn’t much security in his future in Philadelphia. He isn’t the answer at quarterback for this team, or for any team for that matter. The Eagles are going to draft a quarterback and he’s going to replace Bradford whether he likes it or not. It’s also not like teams are lining up to throw money at the bust that is Sam Bradford. He’s been paid like a No. 1 overall draft pick but he sure hasn’t played like one. Five injury-prone and unsuccessful seasons in St. Louis, another lousy one in Philly and now he’s acting like he deserves elite quarterback treatment? Nope. Sorry. I doubt many teams will be intrigued by the thought of bringing the noodle-arm, immobile, system quarterback into their offense. The Broncos maybe, but come on; Who else do they have? Mark Sanchez? Bradford needs a realityTAM check, and no DUONG JR. /when MONITOR one wants to sign him after the Eagles cut him for not being at training camp, he’ll have one.
