Obituary
DISSENT / Growing dissatisfaction with corporate greed is spreading across Southern California. / DANIEL HUBERT / el don
NEWS ANALYSIS/ BY ROBERT WOJTKIEWICZ AND JOSEPH O’BRIEN
OCCUPY MOVEMENT SPREADS IN THE O.C.
O
ne Civic Center Plaza in Irvine, Calif. has become the epicenter for peaceful but passionate protest, forming a collective of people who claim to be fed up with corporate greed and a faltering economic system. The ongoing protest has been met with little opposition from city officials and law enforcement. Dissenters — most of whom align with the grassroots Occupy Wall Street movement that originated in New York — have been protesting, organizing marches and shouting their demands since Oct. 15.
Occupy Irvine is one of many “satellite protests” that have risen in several U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland, and Denver. Wall Street has been “occupied” since September. Rebecca Smallwood, 36, was in attendance for an Oct. 22 march in Irvine. “I think the important thing is the perception of people protesting,” she said. With signs that read
“we are the 99 percent,” Smallwood aligns herself with a national movement that vows to topple the “one percent” of citizens who control the majority of our nation’s wealth. A growing dissatisfaction with American financial practices was a common theme at the march. “I want the billionaires of America to pay… the percentage that we pay,” said Jennifer Schmitt, 38, whose sign read
“End Corporate Greed.” “I’m tired of seeing 40 percent of my check come out and hearing about General Electric not paying any taxes,” she said. Many are quick to write off the protesters as uneducated and misguided at best. Some even see the opposition to capitalism as un-American. The demonstrators, however, are quick to cite their First Amendment rights. “I believe in capitalism but I think corporations have totally taken advantage of [it] and what it really stood for, what America stood for,” Schmitt said. Orange County resident D’Marie Mulatierri saw what was happening in New York and decided to take action. “When Occupy Wall Street happened, I was very excited, but I can’t get to New York,” she said. “I started seeing some Occupies spring up and I thought, why don’t we do that out here in Orange County?’’ “I’m just an OC mom,” she said.

Former Santa Ana College Speech Communications professor Kevin Strong passed away Oct. 29 after a years-long battle with spinal cancer and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was 55. Mr. Strong began teaching at SAC in the fall of 1984 and retired in June. Even though he suffered from two debilitating diseases, he remained committed to his students’ success. When ALS eventually confined him to a wheelchair, Mr. Strong adapted to his work here and his life at home. Colleagues saw him as an amazing teacher with an amiable demeanor. He was easy to be around. Mr. Strong was an avid athlete, he enjoyed playing basketball before his mobility was hampered. Mr. Strong finished his undergraduate studies at the UC Santa Barbara and moved on to graduate work at CSU, Long Beach, where he studied communication with an emphasis in speech. Mr. Strong set high standards for his coworkers and students, an attitude that forced his disability out of mind. He is survived by his wife Lisa and four children. / ROBERT WOJTKIEWICZ / el Don

The Santa Ana College International Student Program held its annual International Festival in the Quad on Thursday, showcasing the foods and cultures of several countries in an effort to raise money for the program. Students flocked to the booths to try new delicacies and experience different backgrounds as a reggae band played while the crowd bobbed and weaved. Booths competed for various awards, with the Japanese booth taking first place for both its cultural display and national dress at the event. Awards were also given to Vietnam, which won the Counselor’s and the President’s award for their contributions. SAC student Irene Pakpahan, who worked at the Indonesian
booth, was awarded first place for her dance performance later in the event. “I’m so happy that I won, I’m thrilled,” she said as her eyes welled up with tears of joy. The Mexican booth by far had the largest turn out, with students lining up to buy an assortment of meaty tacos. “We’ve had a huge line all day. Our beef definitely ran out the fastest,” said SAC student Oscar Iglesias, who was working the taco line at the booth. The commotion even attracted the interest of a visiting kindergarten class from SAC’s Child Development Center. “We had a really good turnout this year, as usual,” said International Students Program Specialist Junko Ishikawa. “We usually have around 16 booths, but even with 10, it was still really good.”
The ISP offers international students a chance to come from around the world to study at SAC through a variety of services. “Our division does outreach to bring in students from around the world,” Ishikawa said. The program has over 300 students from 30 countries enrolled at SAC. The Festival was to help support these students and the services that SAC provides. Those services go beyond just helping international students acclimate to life here in the states. “We help these students with transferring, immigration, and housing,” said Ishikawa. “We even work directly with embassies and homeland security to get these kids here.” Students can also find counseling and career planning services through the program. The ISP’s office is located in room U-204D.

SKY’S THE LIMIT FOR SCIENCE STUDENTS Bautista said the grant would provide students counseling and offer them hands on experience in various fields of study, ranging from mathematics to engineering. The Tessmann Planetarium at SAC is also enjoying success of its own. STEM and SAC student Patricia Sullivan was recently selected as a National Community College Aerospace Scholar and will travel to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to design and create a rover. “Patricia has forged a bond between NASA and our college,” said Bob Menn, coordinator and program director at the planetarium. “It’s amazing what she has accomplished.” The planetarium offers shows appealing to all age groups. These include virtual tours of the universe that help explain the concept of outer space. Menn said the shows are fun as well as informative, and have the power to leave an imprint on children’s lives.

The grant is directed toward lowincome Hispanic students that are interested in careers in math and sciences at SAC. “The whole idea is to increase the number of students with majors that fall under the STEM program, and to help them transfer or get degrees involving STEM majors,” said Steve Bautista who is a counselor, instructor and coordinator at the Center for Teacher Education.

Instead of talking, they should make use of that hour and come to the planetarium to learn something,” said Menn. Admission for SAC students and staff is free. Otherwise, morning shows cost $5. Evening shows cost $6.
“The shows leave a huge impression on kids. Sometimes we receive letters from kids informing us how much fun they had,” said Menn. “I once received a letter from a kid saying that seeing the show made him want to go to college.” The planetarium staff encourages students in STEM fields to see some

The show is about to begin. The audience shuffles to their seats, the room becomes dark, the stage lights flash on and the music is cued. The dancers stand in the wings, silently waiting to take their positions on stage. Every semester the Santa Ana College Dance Department develops a production to showcase their advanced dancers’ abilities and educate and entertain the audience. This semester’s “Dancewatch 2011: Fall/Rise” will include routines by guest choreographer Joel Smith, who has been “creating a new piece of work for our advanced students,” said Dance Department Chair and show director Eve Kikawa. “It is very exciting and unique.” The UC Irvine jazz dance ensemble, Insight, will make a guest appearance and perform an African dance inspired by their recent trip to Ghana. “There will be an eclectic mix of many different styles of music: tango, blues, classical and sounds from all over the map,” Kikawa said. The hour-and-a-half show blending modern dance, jazz and ballet will take place in Philips Hall Theatre, Nov. 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 13 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available online and at the door, ranging from $12 for adults and $6 for children under 12. / arilia winn / el Don

S
tudio lights reflecting off of the precious jewelry draped on her wrist, Diane von Furstenberg awaits our arrival, eager to share the secrets of her self-titled fragrance, Diane. Elegant and charming, von Furstenberg reminds you to “be the woman you want to be,” as her perfume tagline promises. Fashion encompasses many facets of the senses, and to von Furstenberg, fragrance is “the full stop at the end of the sentence.”
Diane, introduced in September, features a mix of two different floral aromas, each with a distinct personality. “Frangipani and violet are two entirely different animals. One is a clean white flower and the other a violet … the ying and the yang,” von Furstenberg said. Fragrance evokes a past memory or emotion. “The woods after the rain, the smell of sage, any smell in nature,
really,” is what reminds von Furstenberg of home. She wants her fragrance to stamp good memories. Diane differs from her earlier fragrance, Tatiana, mainly due to inspiration. Tatiana is more business-driven, whereas Diane was born from passion, she explained. Hoping to produce a classic, her main purpose in this project was to bottle all her love of life, her passion,
her wisdom, and all her secrets of seduction. “Fragrance has been a weapon since antiquity,” she said. Customers lined up in Nordstrom at South Coast Plaza to purchase Diane and meet the woman behind the fragrance. Many donned in wrap dresses, women of all ages patiently anticipated their moment with the icon. “It smells beautiful and feminine and unlike anything else,” customer Brenda Foster said. Dustin Gordon, women’s fragrance counter manager, commented that instead of a soft floral smell like Donna Karan, von Furstenberg added scents like frankincense and myrrh, creating a seductive element not present in other fragrances while keeping the flowery effect. Ranging in size, prices vary from $45 to $110. She also includes a body lotion in her fragrance collection, all available at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and Sephora.

Silver and gold shadows are typically intended for a nighttime look, but there is a way to pull off the smoky, shimmering tones during the day without looking over the top. Dark makeup colors are usually worn at night, but with a rich purple shadow trend you can make it work even when the sun is shining. Cover your lid with a plum color and blend a shimmery gold into the crease. be careful not to apply too much eyeliner, and make sure to brush mascara on every lash. Finish off the look with bronzer and blush, using a fan brush to cover your cheekbones. vamp up your daytime look for a night out by applying a heavier layer of the eyeshadow from the Glambox 9 set. Just add water to achieve a darker look. A thicker coat of mascara and eyeliner adds drama and you are ready to go. To create a more dewy appearance at night, try using the Halo Highlighting Wand on the top of your nose and cheeks.

ON THE ROAD TO BEING BETTER JOURNALISTS STAFF EDITORIAL
A trip to Orlando brings our staff closer to each other, our school, and our cause
W
hat happens when you take five Dons and send them to a collegiate journalism conference in Orlando for the weekend? Not what you would think. They come home better writers, editors and friends. The nightlife was tempting, and there often seemed more benefit to sleeping in than hauling ourselves out of bed to attend a seminar. But the experience was life changing. Advisers, faculty and professionals from colleges across the country led scores of media classes. Students poured their souls into their work and countless publications vied for the spotlight. The thrill of winning Best
Of Show was only exceeded by the overall experience. Walking away with a handful of awards and a network of new friends validated the countless hours spent by writers, editors and photographers perfecting their craft. Validation can lead to complacency, but this journey has heightened our sense of duty to ourselves and to our peers. We were thankful for this opportunity, and look forward to excellence in future issues. As journalists, we already had an incredible amount in common. But after this convention, we have more in common as friends than as colleagues, and this experience is only the prelude of great things to come.
It was just one of those surreal moments, you know? “I’m going to use the backside of my hands on certain parts of your body,” said the amiable yet thorough airport security officer as he ran his hands over my body, checking for who knows what. As I looked around, I noticed that not only had I been selected for a secondary screening at Orlando International Airport, but so had everyone else in my group. As if our situation couldn’t be any more improbable, some of us — TSA would not disclose who — tested positive for traces of explosives. How the hell did that happen? As random as the whole procedure was, everyone there was extremely nice, and they did everything they could to make the experience tolerable. The TSA should not get such a bad rap, they’re just doing their job to make everyone safer. At least I didn’t get a cavity search. / ROBERT WOJTKIEWICZ / el Don

Concluding conference play at the Orange Empire Conference Championship at Los Serranos Golf Course, Justine Bresnahan shot a two day combined score of 184. The wind proved a factor as Bresnahan shot eight strokes higher than the first day of Regionals. Bresnahan did play with a driver during the tournament. “My driver does not suit my new swing, it is too heavy and too short,” Bresnahan said. Heading to the OEC Regionals with an average of 84.1, Bresnahan said she has some work to do. “I need to practice over the weekend so I can figure out what went wrong during the tournament, and mentally prepare myself for my last round of golf at Santa Ana College,” she said. Teammate Erin Rapae shot a combined score of 187. “I did not play my best, but I did shoot a couple of good holes,” Rapae said. Rapae finished the season with an average of 91.1. “I am upset I did not make it to Regionals myself, but I am very happy for Justine and hopes she does well,” she said. / EVELYN KIELICH / el Don

ustle and flow are the reasons why the Dons outscored opponents 22 to two through a seven-game win streak. The team developed into a cohesive familylike unit with the ability to score at will. “When you see a team rolling, all the hours you put in are finally paying off,” Assistant Coach Jose Retiz said. “They truly know it is not a one man team. Everybody wins together, everybody loses together.”
Month long win streaks are no fluke. They are products of hard work, preparation, determination and a little bit of good luck. “My thing is to work hard on defense,” Head Coach Jose Vasquez said. “If you finish one offensive chance you’ll win the game, as long as you play solid defense.” Seven players combined for all the goals with sophomore forward Briant
Rodelo leading the way with eight. Four other Dons players netted two goals each. “The mix we have, especially at forward, can come in at any time and finish a game for us,” Vasquez said. “We like a scoring variety. Teams who scout us before a game don’t know who to mark.” Efficient field communication leads to an understanding that allows the
team to run a lethal offense with multiple weapons. “We work the system over and over, connecting passes and moving around while communicating,” freshman defender Jose Ibarra said. “That’s why we are out here, to perfect how each other moves.” Through 10 games the team sat at (4-3-3) overall and (1-1-1) in conference. Now the Dons’ record is (11-43) and (8-2-1) in conference, good enough for first place in the Orange Empire Conference. “All the players found their rhythm,” Rodelo said. “All the different aspects of our game came together.” In the beginning of the season the Dons alternated between starting goalies. During the seven game win streak freshman goalkeeper Jose Sosa played 575 of the 630 total minutes. His ability to communicate while

DONS: on hot streak dominating the box is why the coaching staff had the confidence to make Sosa the full time goalie after a 2-2 tie at home against Cypress Sept. 30. “We see him as a leader back there,” Vasquez said. “He talks more, is more aggressive and controls his area now.” As a red shirt, Sosa had the experience of practicing with the team a full season before stepping onto the field. He parleyed his exposure into a successful season thus far. Three shutouts and 60 saves contributed to the continuation of the streak. “I saw how tough it was last year,” Sosa said. “Being able to soak in all the training from last year has given me the opportunity to be more complete than if I came straight out of high school.” Winning seven consecutive games creates feelings of glee, ac-
complishment and courage while maintaining the desire to improve. “It makes me want to work harder and it gives the team confidence to keep going,” sophomore midfielder Cesar Hernandez said. “It starts self-motivation to help us bond and enjoy games more.” The team has put together a win streak of at least seven games every season dating back to 2004. During the 2005 season, the Dons rolled out 13 consecutive wins. “We wanted to be a team that represents what Santa Ana soccer stands for,” Ibarra said. The streak ended Tuesday, Nov. 1, with a 5-1 loss at Orange Coast College. The team has three OEC games left before the playoffs. The next game is tomorrow with the Dons hosting the Santiago Canyon Hawks. The Hawks will enter the game with an overall record of (4-130) and a OEC record of (2-9-0), seventh in the conference.

Orphey said. “He said he wants to do that more in practice, so that in the game it won’t be something new to him.” In high school, Winston also played basketball and ran track. The two sports played pivotal roles in developing Winston’s gridiron game. “I attribute my quickness, lateral movements and my ability to go up for the ball from my time on the basketball court,” Winston said. “He wants the ball and wants to win,” Webb said. “Watching him play makes me want to achieve more.” Focus is vital in running crisp routes and making great catches. As a freshman, Winston did not carry the mentality of an elite receiver. Winston’s hard work, dedication and commitment to show up during spring earned the trust of the coaching staff. “He has taken things more seriously and accepts coaching well,” Head Coach Geoff Jones said. “Maturity is the biggest EFFORT / Work ethic and attitude takes Ario Winston part in his success.” towards the next level. / David DeRidder / el Don
