Stevenson Hall to undergo major renovations

The estimated $99 million project is expected to begin by fall 2020 as asbestos will be targeted during construction, ‘to create a welcoming environment’ JENNIFER DE LA TORRE STAFF WRITER

O

ne of Sonoma State’s oldest buildings is expected to have a complete new look following a renovation project that is expected to start by fall of 2020.

Built in 1966, Stevenson Hall will soon be remodeled completely. The updates of the renovation were discussed in the Academic Senate meeting on April 5.

“A complete renovation of the building and reimagining of the program space is required to meet the needs of the administrative leadership, as well as the Schools of Business and Economics, Education and Social Sciences,” said Christopher Dinno, associate vice president of administration and finance facilities operations and planning at Sonoma State University. According to Dinno the

construction costs, will be in the range of $70 to $75 million dollars. The total cost will be around $99 million, with the money coming from a state revenue bond.

With asbestos being a concern for older buildings like Stevenson Hall, Dino said the entire building will be renovated and through this renovation all of the hazmat will be gutted and taken care. Dinno said the core objectives of the Stevenson Hall renovation are to create a welcoming environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors, reduce the usage of resources like energy and water, improve the use of space in the building and to provide faculty offices to support planned academic growth.

The goal is to not have classes for students disrupted during the renovation work.

“The intent is to have no disruption at all to student access to classroom spac-

es and to provide the technology required for teaching and learning,” he said.

In terms of where students will be relocated, Dinno and his team are looking at several options for temporary classroom space before Stevenson Hall is closed off for renovation. All of the offices within the building will have to move their programs temporarily. Similarly to how the Darwin Hall Renovation project was handled.

It is all being looked at in the short term, for faculty and deans offices to temporarily be relocated. Dinno said the president’s and provost’s office relocations are currently being discussed.

“We are currently developing some options on campus and still working through these details for a temporary relocation solution not yet confirmed,” he said. According to Dinno, the construction schedule is not confirmed yet but the

estimated time frame is that construction will begin in the fall of 2020 and ready for use in fall 2022.

When it comes to the renovation plans, Dinno says it will be similar to that of Darwin Hall in terms of the construction and delivery process, however the finishes and interior design will be different.

The Darwin Hall renovation was completed in 2006. That renovation was an 18-month process and included the addition of new classroom equipment, costing $29.5 million. There will be a more efficient layout and use of space for Stevenson Hall.

The intent is to also fill in the eastern part of the building with additional footage and utilize that space. With the Stevenson Hall renovation being a similar process as Darwin Hall, it is expected it will look completely different in the end.

Sonoma State Star wins top award at statewide CNPA journalism competition SHANNON BROWN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

T

he Sonoma State Star, the university’s studentrun newspaper, was honored Saturday by the California Newspaper Publishers Association with two first-place awards in the college division, including a First Place award for General Excellence.

The Star also received a first place award in the column writing category for the work of Opinion Editor Olivia Hunt.

The judging for general excellence was based on two editions, including one that editors of the Star raced to have on campus newstands the first full day of class following the October fires. The edition including coverage of the fires and its impact on Sonoma State University, which was closed for nine days.

“Strong, strong news coverage under tough conditions” the judges said. “Interesting opinion pages. Good writing.

Clean copy. Very good photos.

Good sports pages.”

In both categories the entries were evaluated alongside journalism produced at twoyear and four-year universities in California. Second place went to the UCLA Daily Bruin.

“To come in as a finalist against some of the best journalism schools in the state, let alone win first place, is a tremendous feat for a small campus newspaper,” Editorin-Chief Shannon Brown said.

“It just shows that if you have the drive, it will reflect in your content no matter the size of your audience.”

The Star is a 12-page student-produced weekly newspaper that is published 14 times each semester. These are believed to be the first honors the Star has received as part of the coveted CNPA competition.

“I could not be more proud of the editors, writers, photographers and other staff members who have set a high standard for themselves, a standard

that was particularly evident during some challenging times this past year,” said Paul Gullixson, faculty adviser to the STAR. “Their hard work has paid off, and I don’t think they will ever forget this experience.”

The two columns by Olivia Hunt in the column-writing category included one on Feb. 14, 2017 about efforts by Republicans in Congress to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren. (“Nevertheless she persisted) The other from May 16, 2107 was on President Donald Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey. (“Trump abruptly fires FBI Director James Comey”) The judges noted: “An excellent example of quality writing. Well researched, organized and clear. Important and timely subject matter. Well done.”

University President Judy K. Sakaki shared the excitement of the staff. “This is a remarkable accomplishment for our student-run publication, and we are all so proud,” she said. “It’s a well-deserved first-time recognition for our talented Star students.”

A number of local newspapers also were recognized at this years CNPA awards ceremony for their work during 2017.

The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa took home 12 firstplace awards, including top awards for general excellence and its print and online breaking news coverage of the October wildfires.

The newspaper also won four second-place awards and 11 other recognitions. The Sonoma Index-Tribune received 12 awards, including four first-place awards. These included awards for public service journalism, writing, editorial comment and news photo.

The Petaluma Argus-Courier took home 11 awards, including three first-place honors for breaking news, local government coverage and photo.

Sonoma State STAR // Nate Galvan Technology High School, housed in Salazar Hall, ends its almost two decade stay on Sonoma State as it prepares to move to an off-campus location.

Technology High School to leave Sonoma State University after the 2018-19 school year ETHAN HELMS

EXECUTIVE EDITOR

S

ince joining the Sonoma State University campus in 1999, Technology High School has served as a college preparatory magnet school with programs focused on science, math and engineering. On Friday, Sonoma State announced that a tentative agreement had been reached to transition the Tech High program to an off-campus location after the 2018-19 school year.

With tentative plans to relocate the campus to Waldo Rohnert Park Elementary School for the 2019-20 school year, according to the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District, the 12 classrooms and two computer labs utilized by Tech High will be available for university use during the renovation of Stevenson Hall slated to begin in fall of 2019.

Robert A. Haley, superintendent of the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District, said

in a statement that the school had outgrown the space in Salazar Hall and that the move will allow for growth in shop facilities, classroom space and areas for physical education.

“We believe this agreement and plan is in the best interest of the district as a whole and our community,” Haley said. “Sonoma State University has been, and will continue to be, a great partner with us.”

According to the tentative agreement, Technology High School will continue to work with the SSU School of Education and Department of Engineering, as well as allow students access to SSU facilities for certain activities.

President Judy K. Sakaki said she is pleased to continue the relationship that the university has built with Tech High over the years, according to a Sonoma State press release.

“We have grown with Tech High over the years and have been proud to have been a part of the development of this distinguished high school,” said Sakaki.

Incoming freshmen guaranteed housing for the first time SAMMY SINATRA STAFF WRITER

S

onoma State University can now be added to the list of colleges that guarantee housing to first time freshmen, beginning for students committing to come here in the fall of 2018.

First time freshmen admitted for fall who pay their housing down payment, enrollment reservation deposit, and orientation deposit by April 23, 2018, will be

guaranteed a spot in on-campus housing for the 2018-2019 year.

This does not guarantee a particular community or specific room type.

“Part of this is based of enrollment targets, not current freshmen students,” said Nicole Hendry, director of student housing at Sonoma State. “We used a date that we felt that we would be able to accommodate students without having to add additional spaces.”

Hendry said that triples will

be added into one of the freshmen living villages, Verdot Village, to free up more space.

Because of this, there will be additional space for the current population such as in the upperclassmen living in Sauvignon Village.

More space in Sauvignon Village implies that more space will then be offered to current students who will want to live on campus next year. see HOUSING on pg. 5

STAR award shows journalism still matters

S

onoma State University has a population of around 9,000 students, each one with a different background that has led them to our university.

While our school pride may not be as celebrated as some other California colleges, students at Sonoma State strive to acquire tools that can be used after their time is done here, while also creating as many lasting memories as possible.

The STAR was honored Saturday by the California Newspaper Publishers Association with two first-place awards, including one for General Excellence, trumping other CSUs and UCs. An accumulation of hard work during numerous heartwrenching situations, including the Sonoma County October fires and the shooting of an SSU student during the Las Vegas massacre, convey what’s possible when our students feel they have a duty to inform and acknowledge their peers. The awards won by our 11 member editorial board and our writers, photographers and other staff members are not only a representation of what we and our staff writers can accomplish when given the proper resources, but it should represent

Sonoma State’s student body as whole. The awards solidify the fact that our small liberal arts college can compete with top universities like UCLA. The creation of studentbased content, which leads to the discussion of news, opinions and information only pertaining to Sonoma State, is necessary to keep our campus connected as a community.

However, the resources and communication between administration and students hasn’t always allowed student outlets to give the most to the campus pertinent information.

Sonoma State doesn’t have a proper journalism program, meaning the STAR must train new staff writers every semester on techniques of writing, interviewing and editing in a newspaper setting. Without any notable help from administration in giving answers to our paper’s questions on stories directly relating to Sonoma State students, our writers can not fully embrace the knowledge our board is trying to instill in them. If the administration doesn’t make helping student outlets a top priority, our campus community will only grow farther apart.

This process begins with our president, who has made many

claims that she will make efforts to make administration more student focused.

“At Sonoma State, because we are a diverse and caring community of people and ideas,” President Judy K. Sakaki said at her Investiture Ceremony almost one year ago, “We value inclusive excellence, globalization, sustainability and appreciate just how interconnected and interdependent we really are.”

Yet a year later there are still student outlets who continue to hit brick walls on their search for answers that would directly affect our community.

Looking towards the coming years, as suggestions to downgrade student outlets creative spaces arise, including the STAR’s production lab, administrators needs to recognize the harm that comes with giving student voice a lack of resources.

As a sole representative for the campus community, if students feel disconnected with their university we are the ones who can stand up for them.

Students are the driving force of this institution, and our connection with administration matters for not only our campus community but our college experience as a whole.

Editorial Policy: The commentary expressed in the unsigned editorial represents a majority opinion of the STAR Editorial Board on a topic facing the campus community in keeping with journalistic precedents of other major newspapers, and may not be shared by all staff writers. The board encourages readers to write letters to the editor about all topics, including the editorial.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

D

ear Editor: For Earth Week and beyond, here are a few small things you can do with the potential to make a big difference.

1. Turn your car on when you are ready to drive; turn it off when you park. Want to help reduce the greenhouse gases that drive climate change? Don’t sit in your car with the engine idling while you do other things. Get your seatbelt on, adjust the mirrors, then turn on your car. Park, turn it off, then fiddle with whatever it is you’ll be bringing with you. And sitting in your car with the heater or AC running while you check your phone is just plain wasteful. If you need climate control, stay in a building until you’re done with your messages, or get to your destination and then check away.

2. Don’t use the handicap

button to open doors for you unless you need it. Every time you open that door using the button, Northern Kentucky University estimates it costs two cents in terms of electricity, repairs (the buttons break down), and lost heating/AC. Doesn’t sound like much? Add up the number of people going in and out of a door each day, and multiply by the number of doors on campus, and then by the number of days in a semester, and it adds up to a chunk of change. The NKU campus of 14,500 students wastes $364,000/year in this way, so SSU at 9,500 students comes to about $236,600, which could be better spent on other things.

3. Look before you toss. The green receptacle is for recycling (bottles, cans, clean office paper and cardboard, and a few other items like plastic coffee cup lids).

Most everything else should go

in the black garbage cans; or, when in the student center, compostables can go in the compost container. The blue office paper lidded cans are for office paper and broken-down cardboard boxes, not your Clif bar wrapper or leftover lunch. SSU garbage cans are full of recyclables and viceversa: it takes just a moment to toss your disposable in the right receptacle.

4. See something that shouldn’t be on the ground, pick it up. Someone dropped a bottle or a straw. Do a quick squat and develop your glutes while you tidy up. See #3 above for disposing of your treasure. This keeps errant plastic from our waterways, where it ends up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

U.S. involvement in Syria sparks fear of war

AARON WASKOWIAK

STAFF WRITER

I

n a joint operation with France and Britain on Friday, the United States launched three separate air strikes on suspected chemical weapon production and storage facilities in Syria.

This act of retaliation by the Trump presidency and its European allies follows last week’s reports of a potential chemical weapons attack outside Damascus, which left 40 dead and many countries concerned and outraged with the Assad regime’s seeming disregard for the ban on these weapons.

President Donald Trump said from the White House, “These are not the actions of a man, they are crimes of a monster instead.”

On Saturday, reports began to come out of Douma, a small town outside of Syria’s capital of Damascus, describing what appeared to be the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government in an effort to retake the area from rebel fighters.

Independent medical groups working in the area found injuries concurrent with the use of chlorine gas among civilians. Foaming mouths, breathing problems and burning eyes, along with witness accounts of a strange smell, all begin to paint a horrifying picture of a recent development in this brutal civil war.

The BBC cited a rescue worker with the Syrian Civil Defense, saying not only did he smell chlorine in the air but they “later discovered the bodies of people who had suffocated from toxic gases. They were in closed spaces, sheltering from the barrel bombs, which may have caused their quick death, as no-one heard their screams.”

With the U.S. and other European countries quick to condemn these actions publicly, Russia offered a different narrative entirely. With military assets assisting the Syrian government, it was expected that Russia would warn against any military reaction from the West.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a press conference Friday that Russia has “irrefutable data that [this] was yet another staged event and staging was done … by the special services of one of the countries at the forefront of the anti-Russia campaign.”

Russia went on to further say that 71 of the 103 missiles fired in the recent strike were shot down by Russian provided missile defense systems, a claim which the Pentagon denies.

With Moscow viewing this retaliatory move as an act of aggression on the part of

the U.S. and its allies, it is still unclear how President Vladimir Putin will respond as tension continues to rise.

This is not the first time Syria has been in the spotlight for their use of banned chemical weapons. A United Nations fact-finding mission confirmed the use of the nerve agent Sarin in multiple attacks in 2013, once again outside Damascus as well as Aleppo.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told the UN Security Council on Saturday that “If the Syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again, the United States is locked and loaded.”

Many Americans are understandably hesitant to become heavily invested in another conflict in the Middle East, and Trump promising just last week to remove forces from Syria raises some questions as to the extent of our coming involvement.

While chemical weapons are an obvious breach of humanitarian standards and should obviously be condemned by the world, this raises the age-old question of whether or not the U.S. should be policing these situations.

With many domestic issues still unresolved, some of which revolve around our tense relationship with Russia, it will be interesting to see how the administration shifts its focus. Are these strikes a one-time retaliatory effort? Will they work in dissuading the Assad government from further use? Or is this the beginning of yet another global conflict for the U.S. to get entangled in?

My generation has yet to experience a serious global conflict, and these develop-

ments leave me wondering if that is a reality we might soon see come to fruition. There are lots of seemingly sensationalized headlines sporting phrases such as “World War Three,” and while part of me wants to believe this is purely clickbait enticement, it is hard to look past the facts.

Russia is a superpower, accused of exploiting our democratic process and now at odds with us over a war-torn country which we just engaged. Not to mention our continuing tumultuous relationship with both China and, of course, North Korea. Our administration has requested Congress to approve a military budget of $686 billion for this coming year, with Trump saying the intention is “increasing arsenals of virtually every weapon.”

This scares me, as a student and the “future” of this country. Having seen the tail ends of Middle-Eastern conflicts, the thought of a new one involving multiple global entities is hard to be optimistic about.

I find some reassurance with midterms coming up, and with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan stepping down, there is huge potential for a shift in Congress. What that means for Syria remains to be seen, but until then we can remain hopeful for some positive change.

Vote. Make your voice heard, and perhaps we can avoid another multitrillion dollar Middle-Eastern conflict.

FBI raid could finally lead to answers

BROOKLYNN MILLER STAFF WRITER

I

magine this: your office has just been raided by the FBI and you are furious. Of course, you would never expect such an invasion of privacy, but in the case of Michael Cohen, there seems an ever-imposing feeling that both he and President Donald Trump could have anticipated such a bold move from the FBI. According to the New York Times, “The F.B.I. agents who raided the office and hotel of President Trump’s lawyer were seeking details on his relationship with the Trump campaign and his efforts to suppress negative information about Mr. Trump.” The vague nature of this statement allows one’s mind to wander into the multitude of possible answers as to why this event occurred.

Whether the raid was to gain more information on Russian collusion during the president’s campaign or further details on the Stormy Daniels case, one thing is for certain: the FBI would not have raided the office of the president’s lawyer if they did not have reasonable cause.

Surprisingly, the raid was equally directed at Cohen as it was at Trump.

According to CNN, “The search warrant sought records relating to Cohen’s personal finances and his net worth,” leading one to believe maybe Trump isn’t the only one who has proved increasingly difficult to trust.

Initially, this all seems reassuring, offering the possibility that Trump isn’t

so bad after all; maybe it is the other guy this time. On the other had, it is difficult to trust a man who works so closely and secretly with another who is as equally difficult to trust. The New York Times supported this, stating how difficult it is “to extract Cohen from his work for Trump.” For more than a decade, Trump has “unleashed Mr. Cohen on his foes — investigative journalists, business rivals and potential litigants. And the New York search warrant makes clear that the authorities are interested in his unofficial role in the campaign.”

A country divided has plenty to say on the matter, but there is one fact that cannot be denied because it is the law, and that is client attorney privilege.

Surely there are documents, facts or even recordings in Cohen’s office that are private between he and Trump.

When the FBI intervenes like it did, people raise questions on how well they respect this law and how it will hold up in court. Cohen’s attorney, Stephen Ryan, called the searches “completely inappropriate and unnecessary,” resulting in “the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney client communications between a lawyer and his client.”

This story goes around in circles, resulting in the same confusion. It has been, and is only further proving to be, a he-said she-said battle of pointing fingers and making accusations without enough backing to prove one way or the other. The prosecutors assert that, “they have confidence that any seized material would not fall under the significant amount of attorney-client privilege that Cohen has claimed,” according to CNN. There is a hearing set to occur on April 20, but the actual process of moving forward is slow. The country will continue to wait patiently for more information to piece together the mess of a puzzle we call our government, and reflect back on times when similar situations occurred.

How history repeats itself may turn out less of a mystery than expected.

Could it be time we prepare for a Watergate level scandal?

‘Roseanne’ reboot mirrors reality

LUIS MEJIA

STAFF WRITER

L

et’s play a game. It’s the mid ‘90s. I am a newly revolutionary breakout sitcom that has hit the waves of American syndication. I star a loudmouthed, opinionated matriarch heading a hectic family struggling to make ends meet. My husband is an easygoing drywall contractor. My sister is a neurotically gullible victim of low self-esteem. My daughter is a sarcastic tomboy.

Together we make up the Connor household; one big, happy family and the blueprint for one of the most influential television shows of all time that just weeks ago saw an impressive comeback.

Who am I? If you guessed “Roseanne,” congratulations, so did everyone else.

But in the wake of its record-breaking return at the end of March, according to Imagine Games Network, the hit series’ second coming did not thrill everyone. Look no further than the new season’s debut episode, where the topic of politics took center stage, except this time, the outcome was not as expected. Surprise, surprise, the main protagonist, Roseanne Conner, is a Trump supporter, and to no one’s surprise, a portion of Twitter quickly took exception, crying “bigotry” in a place it does not belong.

Likewise, The New York Times reports a portion of Twitter also took grandeur at the sight of an openly expressive conservative on the screen of an ABC program; a trope some viewers believe was long overdue. While the president’s name is never actually spoken, the implication is obvious, somewhat overshadowing the dialogue deserving more of a pondering session than a laugh track, especially now when the country is more divided than it has ever been.

According to Newsweek, one recent Rasmussen poll showed Trump with a 50 percent approval rating among voters and a 49 percent disapproval rating. Naturally, these type of reports are prone to becoming prey to the temptation of bias, but this did not deter from the impact of the point being made when Jackie Conner, Roseanne’s sister, asked why Roseanne voted for “him,” and her response was all too real.

“He talked about jobs, Jackie,” Roseanne said. It is not difficult to understand why such a promise would appeal to a character like Roseanne. Her foundation as a character was always based in the realistic portrayal of belonging to a lower-middle class family on a good day. She welcomed any hope she could get.

Meanwhile, Jackie represents the dynamic of an independent woman and single mother having endured her fair share of abusive relationships, thus resonating in an almost stereotypically appropriate identity for a Clinton supporter. In other words, the show makes sense, and people tune in because of that.

How about when Dan, Roseanne’s husband, ridiculed his grandson for wearing girl’s clothing and painting his nails? Is there not a discussion being held in 2018 regarding the confines of gender norms and masculinity, and that it means more than watching too many John Wayne movies? Or the inclusion of a black character into a previously all-white cast? Or a sassy teenager that talks back to her mother? The list goes on, but that’s just the first episode.

All viewers can do is receive these sentiments however they see fit. The point is the show is ambitious – a strategy it is no stranger to. Roseanne sheds light on a generational divide, representing her and Dan as dinosaurs in a world they basically do not understand anymore.

Since the ‘90s, the show has served as a social commentary bearing the mask of comedy in order to promote difficult discussions. Oddly enough, this is hardly a show guilty of promoting bigotry, or of making an effort to adopt one side over another. Instead, it brings them to the forefront, to be discussed, or at the very least entertained. And impressively, the result has indeed been entertainment.

Joan Baez brings to life the ‘Mischief Makers’ that shaped America

STAR EDITORIAL BOARD

J

oan Baez, the beloved international performer and political activist, is known around the world for her folk songs. But on Sunday, she was celebrated at Sonoma State University’s Green Music Center for another type of art work – a series of portraits of iconic leaders from Bob Dylan to The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King to writer Maya Angelou.

The series of paintings, which have been donated to the university by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, is known as the “Mischief Makers” and is an homage to the leaders of many social justice and civil rights movements over the past half-century.

During a discussion with Greg Sarris, chairman of the Graton Rancheria, Baez, now 77, said she had been pulling together some of her art pieces in hopes

of doing a show. “I realized that the political atmosphere that we are in now that I had to make some kind of statement,” she said.

She said the name for the exhibit came from something former Czech poet turned president Vaclav Havel when he came to visit her during one of her European tours. “We must make mischief,” he said.

“That’s where the expression for me started,” she said. “And I realized that all of these people that I had done paintings of, most of them I know, they all have this same vein of mischief making.”

She noted that is the side of many of these individuals that the public did not get a chance to see. “I mean, Dr. King was very, very funny, sarcastic and silly, but he was afraid to show that in public. So you

didn’t see that.” she said.

She called attention to “the importance of the kids in Florida” who are speaking out for stronger gun control laws in the wake of the shooting on Feb. 14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that left 17 people dead. “These kids are brave and willing to take risks . . .Three cheers to them,” she said. “This is the closest thing we have had to a movement in this country in a long, long time.”

Baez will be returning to perform at the Green Music Center in November as part of a world tour she is doing this year. But she said that will be the end of her formal touring.

“I don’t know who else I will (paint),” she said.

“I thought of painting these kids.”

Battle continues against CSU budget shortage CASEY HERRMANN STAFF WRITER

T

he California Faculty Association and Students for Quality Education are to hold a lobby day, in which they will petition state lawmakers to increase the current budget proposal to safe levels.

The current state budget proposal, written by Gov. Jerry Brown,calls for an increase of $92.1 million to the CSU budget, only one third of the $282.9 million the CSU requested last fall to improve infrastructure, mach rising faculty needs, and expand to better accommodate the thousands of eligible applicants the CSU already has too turn

away each year.

To help fight against this and to help promote other ideas and concerns held at the CSU’s, CFA and SQE have organized a day to lobby Assembly Members and State Senators who have been elected to represent their school’s district, usually with three to five people per statesman at a time, a tradition that has been ongoing for over ten years.

“The rally we held for a higher budget two weeks ago was very well received at the capital,” says Elaine Newman, professor of mathematics, statistics and chapter president of the CFA at Sonoma State. “We’re on pins and needles waiting for the response to our petition.”

Newman refers to the CFA rally that was held on April 4 at the state capital building in Sacramento. Several lawmakers attended, including Jose Medina, chair of the Assembly Committee on higher education in the California State Assembly, all of whom assured the crowd Gov. Jerry Brown had heard their objections, and that those lawmakers would work to remind him during budget negotiations.

Initially saying that “They’re not going to get any more. They’ve got to manage.” in a press conference, CFA has heard a slight change in Gov. Brown’s messaging.

“He said he’s done a lot for higher education, and now the legislation has

to work on it,” Newman said.

According to a report received by Newman in a CFA conference, the CFA and SQE has met with committee chairs in the California legislature to express their concerns. Assemblyman Medina has sent out a letter to his fellow assembly members requesting their support for CSU funding, which as of Monday has thirty signatures including Medina.

The lobby day will be held from April 30 to May 1, and is planned to start at noon and end at 5 p.m. the next day.

If students wish to participate, they should contact the local SQE organization, and if faculty wish to attend they should contact Newman.

HOUSING: Students find peace of mind with new policy continued from pg. 1

Lizeth Arroyo, a sophomore currently living in Sauvignon Village, says that more housing on campus could help students not be pressured to find housing outside of the dorms.

“For me, living in the dorms was the best option to get my college experience because I didn’t feel ready to have the responsibilities of what it takes to live off-campus and plus I don’t own a car,” said Arroyo.“Since freshman are exposed to this new college environment they should be able to have housing guaranteed and have one less thing to worry about.”

With more housing space freed up, current students will be kept happy and the school may also see an increase in student applicants.

The guarantee was designed to provide peace of mind to students and families that if they select Sonoma State housing will not be an issue and with the hope that this will contribute to Sonoma being a top option for students when selecting colleges. This guarantee will have to be evaluated again next year to see if they can continue with the same process for the incoming freshmen of fall 2019.

“I think that [guaranteeing housing] would influence people to come to Sonoma State just because of the fact that they can be guaranteed a spot and won’t have to struggle with finding housing,” said Antony Gonzalez, a sophomore currently living in Tuscany Village. “It will potentially bring in a bigger population to the school, which I think would be a really good thing.”

Sonoma State STAR The incoming freshman of fall 2018 are guaranteed on campus housing if they pay the deposit by April 23.

Washington D.C President Trump sent an attack into Syria on Friday.

The attack was a U.S chemical air strike that Trump believes was “vital to national security and foreign policy interests.” The purpose of the attack was to help prevent future chemical weapon attacks. Last week in the town of Douma, Syria chemical attacks were taking place and this was Trump’s response with the help of the UK and France. There were three different targets that were struck by our weapons, which were the scientific research facility in Damascus, the chemical weapons storage facility west of Homs, and a chemical weapons equipment storage site near Homs.

Although in the beginning it was reported that three civilians were killed, Russian defense ministry reported later there are no confirmed deaths. Trump did not rule out any possible future attacks and stated that he will take whatever actions he believes are necessary.

ach year, students at SSU enter their artwork into the running so a panel of judges can display them in the annual Juried Student Exhibition. Out of the many submissions, judges chose nearly 35 of them. Opened since March 29, the month-long exhibition houses original photographs, paintings, sculptures and unique, non traditional pieces.

“The exhibit was great! I had never been to one of the art exhibits on campus,” said junior Molly Butler. Each piece is unique and ranges from photographs and paintings to recycled materials transformed into clothing items. A culmination of artwork that students have created throughout the semester, or on their own time, the judged pieces carry growth and understanding visible through chosen techniques. “We need to spread the word about these types of things so more people know about them,” Butler said.

“White Noise,” a partial self-portrait by junior Emma Wason, depicts a girl whose face has deliberately missing features. Taking 15 hours to complete, “the face is replaced with a space of what can be interpreted as white noise on a television, or a computer error screen to convey a sense of blankness or inability to compute,” Wason said.

This year the jurors were not only professionals, as they are every year, but local. Carlo Ricafort, an artist from Oakland, CA, and Kara Q. Smith, who is the Assistant Curator at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art in Napa, helped curate and constructively critique the exhibition.

With the constant professional feedback, graduates whose art the juriors feature in this exhibit often go on to prestigious graduate programs and other careers in the art world.

The exhibit will continue until April 22 in the University Art Gallery. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday-Friday, and noon-4 p.m. on weekends.

‘Invasion of Privacy’ unapologetically drips with confidence

Review SIERRA SORRENTINO STAFF WRITER

L

ove her or hate her, you know who Cardi B is. She made a grand entrance into the rap scene this past year with her debut single “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” earning the coveted number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Cardi B is the first female rapper to do so since Lauryn Hill released her own debut single “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998. Those who thought Cardi was another one-hitwonder rapper will be disappointed to hear that her 15 minutes of fame are not over anytime soon, especially after the release of her first studio album, “Invasion of Privacy,” on April 6.

Prior to the release of her new album, Cardi dropped the single, “Be Careful,” at the end of March. This track has something that was missing from her two other singles; vulnerability and raw emotion. Instead of rapping about her newfound success and riches, she is talking about a more tender subject – her heart.

“Yeah my heart is a package with a fragile label on it / Be careful with me,” Cardi sings. Yes, you read that correctly, sings. Even though Cardi is not a trained singer, these lyrics, and the rest of the chorus for that matter, emote an emotional nakedness that is refreshing to hear. Despite the sensitive nature of the chorus, in the verses, there is still a strength to her voice which, ironically, communicates the insecurities she has felt in past relationships. Cardi has sultry, slower tracks like “Thru Your Phone” and “Ring,” featuring Kehlani, that also carry through this newfound vulnerability.

Also, interlaced in the mellow beats of “Be Careful” is Hill’s “Ex-Factor;” which was quite possibly just an untended homage to one of the female rappers that paved the way for others, like Cardi.

Fan favorites, like “Bodak Yellow” and “Bartier Cardi” featuring 21 Savage, appear on “Invasion of Privacy” as well, but she made sure the new additions do not live in the shadows of these successful singles.

The album starts off on a vulnerable note that has not been identified with Cardi’s music thus far with the song “Get Up 10.” It is a personal sentiment to the struggles she has overcome throughout her life while trying to achieve success in the music industry.

She has always taken pride in being herself, unapologetically, and embraces her rags-to-riches backstory; therefore, this song is undeniably Cardi’s life anthem.

Despite the Cardi-centered narrative, “Get Up 10” acts as a motivational speaker inspiring others to embody strength and perseverance when facing difficult circumstances. A wave of empowerment overwhelms the listener when Cardi’s passionate voice is heard in the chorus saying, “Knock me down nine times but I get up 10.”

Even though “Invasion of Privacy” debuted Cardi’s softer side, her fierce, sassy flare is not gone, but is simply modified by dabbling in different music genres. The song “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, is a perfect example of Cardi harmoniously blending her fun-loving personality with a new musical element; Latin inspired sounds.

This energetic, hip-swaying track will make you wish you were dancing at some Miami beach club and saying, “Havanna who?”

If there is one thing this album proves, it is that Cardi B has the potential to be a multifaceted rapper. She is far from one-note, but can still deliver her confident sound and quick-witted one liners fans have come to love in songs like “Money Bag” and “Bickenhead.”

The layers of intimacy and ferocity found in “Invasion of Privacy” are steps above your average rapper debut album and launch Cardi on her way to establishing herself as a rap god.

International travel while young is expensive, but not impossible DIEGO ACEVEDO STAFF WRITER

T

ravel does not have to be luxurious and expensive. Especially as students, the saving process for a trip on top of daily costs is difficult as is. But traveling while you are young and able is an experience far more valuable than money will ever be. And with diligence, it’s attainable.

Knocking out units while traveling gives you the best of both worlds. Most schools offer programs where it will be the same tuition cost as the college you are already at. Within Sonoma State’s Center for International Exchange, students can apply for over 18 countries, including Australia, Spain and Germany, through a range of majors. And because it’s through the university, students can use financial aid to keep costs low. If studying while traveling sounds like a chore, one can discuss student ambassador positions, intern and volunteer positions with International & Exchange Programs Advisor Hope Ortiz in International Hall. The adventure, thrills, memories and experiences that you get from travelling are second to none.

If you’re a go-getter, wanting to experience travel on their own, break out of your comfort zone and stay in a hostel to save money. Similar to hotels, hostels typically include common areas, places to store belongings, wifi connectivity, phone service and laundry services. But these places sacrifice your privacy, as they’re set up dormitory-style. Not only are you giving your wallet a break, but you may even have more memorable moments in this authentic, less touristic atmosphere. Staying in a hostel increases the possibility of meeting people in the common areas and maybe sharing a ride, dinner or some sort of trip.

They’re cheaper than hotels, but do vary among cities. City-square and downtown hostels range on average between $25 and $40 a night, while one can find hostels in suburbs and outskirts for $15, according to hostelworld.com. Airbnb’s are another great alternative, and you might even feel more at home.

When you’ve finally reached your destination, the want to explore will only get stronger. But be wary; tourist traps are a financial dagger. Everywhere you visit, there is a popular place to be or to

see, for an aesthetic or historical reason. Venture on your own path and find your own attractions. Buy locally, or from smaller dining places, instead of hitting popular and expensive restaurants. A memory is the best souvenir.

Walking is always your best bet, but it gets tiring.

Rather than ordering cabs and Ubers when your feet can’t take it, opt for public transportation or the city’s metro.

When doing your initial digging, make sure that your internet browser is on private or incognito!

Clearing your browser cookies and history while searching for hotels and f lights will give you the best deal possible. Websites often datamine, tracking prices you’ve already seen in to make things seem competitive and cheaper, making sure you are under

the radar when searching. Book things in advance and not last minute so you are getting the best price. Using regional airports will save you money, although they may be a little more out-of-the-way than bigger airlines. Consider traveling during the off-season of wherever it is you wish to visit. This is an assured way of saving money in f lights and any accommodations you will be making.

Most importantly, compare popular cities and their average tourist spending, but don’t let a thin wallet prevent you from seeing the world. Start budgeting and saving money, get out there and travel before you run out of time. Gapyear.com is a great resource for planning a trip.

Seawolves SPEAK! Are you worried about how social medias apps are using your private information?

KATHLEEN PERRY STAFF WRITER

T

he privacy debate has continued to fuel data breach after data breach. Our professional and social online identities refelct who we are by information, but also arguably by content. Regardless, we put trust in technology giants to keep required addresses, names and numbers private. After many scandals, the recent being Facebook’s breach, that trust is dwindling. Students analyze how much information they give to social networks, and whether what’s required is too much.

“I’m not really worried about how social media apps use personal information, because I am careful about what I post. I am more into using other apps, but even then I’m careful about exposing information I don’t want out there.”

-Alex Mancia, first year economics major

“I’ve always been taught to be careful about what I share online, but we grew up with social media, and I didn’t think much about how much my 13-year-old-self could potentially affect me as an adult until recently, when I realized my information isn’t really protected at all. It’s unsettling.”

-Victoria Rico, third year psychology major

“I have always been cautious with my personal information on social media because I do worry about how certain apps use my personal information. I have never been the type to overshare just because you never know where your information can end up when it comes to the internet.

-Alexandra Castillo, second year Hutchins major

“Not only is it scary to lose control of your personal information, but as we’ve seen recently, this information can be used to violate our rights and impact our democracy.

I am hoping that recent events will lead to stricter laws on social media and privacy, because I do not think consumers should have to worry about losing control of their personal information.”

Dare Drink and Drive, welcomed people to sign a pledge against drinking and driving, to remind everyone the risks and devastation that comes from driving intoxicated.

The third event, the Don’t You Dare Abuse Her Zumba, filled an entire room with women to dance together and support the ‘breaking the chain’ movement.

“Honestly, I thought three people would show up tonight,” Peralta said.

“The room was completely full, so it’s beyond anything I could have prepared for. I was so happy how involved girls have been.”

The last event to wrap the week up was Don’t You Dare Forget About Consent, where any student could take part in making stress balls or writing encouraging notes to friends or the cause in general.

‘Don’t You Dare’ campaign aims to raise awareness about sexual assault

STAFF WRITER

T

he 2018 Panhellenic Executive board started the Don’t You Dare Campaign this year at Sonoma State University to empower women and raise awareness of sexual assault in hopes of lowering the risk of being a victim.

There were four events held during the week in honor of this campaign, each representing a different issue at hand. The week began with the Don’t You Dare Bring Us Down event and ended on Thursday with the Don’t You Dare Forget About Consent event.

Bianca Peralta, vice president of the Standards of the Panhellenic board, created the campaign back in February with the help of the rest of the executive board and has planned to execute this week-long event ever since.

“I think it was really important for the Panhellenic community to have

one common goal, and that’s women supporting women,” Peralta said. “I think it’s a message that often gets forgotten.”

Sisters from all different sororities attended these events to unite as women and empower each other to stand up for themselves.

“The message is growing that feminism is a thing; I am woman, I am a person, I have feelings, I have emotions and I have power,” said Erin Furnary, an SSU student. “I think this campaign really emphasizes that and is reminding a lot of people that I am here, so you will listen to me speak. You don’t have to agree with what I say, but you will hear me speak because I am not afraid.”

The first event held, the Don’t You Dare Bring Us Down, brought Panhellenic women together to voice their thoughts and beliefs through empowering female quotes with chalk.

The second event, the Don’t You

to bring awareness of alcohol use, sexual consent and abuse to campus.

“A lot of people have been through these issues, and they are struggling to find their voice, and we’re here to try and help,” Wade said. “As a Panhellenic woman I am here to build girls’ confidence up and help them feel empowered in their day-to-day lives.”

Greek women on campus are taking the initiative to support all women at the university who have been sexually assaulted or it has affected in some way or another. The campaign has brought women together regardless of their past, skin color or story to support each other for the same cause.

“I hope for Greek unity, not just for this week, but hopefully down the line,” Peralta said. “I hope girls can see each other on campus and feel comfortable and when they see a Panhellenic sister in a situation where they are being hurt, they can stand up for them.”

First ever Writer’s Festival debuts on campus KAILEY PRIEST

STAFF WRITER

A

day and a half event filled with free food, wine, workshops, panels and internationally acclaimed writers made its way to Sonoma State University this past week.

Gillian Conoley, English Department faculty and poet in residence, and Stefan Kiesbye, English Department faculty and fiction writer, are responsible for putting on the first annual Writer’s Festival.

Conoley and Kiesbye spent more than eight months working and preparing to put the festival in place. Many creative writing student interns such as Jordan Myers, Brooke Wrisley, Cole Henry, and Noelle Dahl also worked tirelessly to help during the festival under the direction of graduate student Colton Deck.

“Sonoma Writers’ Festival is a natural outgrowth of Writers at Sonoma, the national and international reading series I’ve directed for 25 years at SSU,” Conoley said. “Through Writers at Sonoma, we’ve brought in Pulitzer Prize winners, like poet Yusef Komunyakaa, and National Book Critics’ Circle award winners as well as National Book Award winners, including Alice Notley, and many more.

“We strive to bring in wellrecognized authors, as well as those at earlier stages of their development, including first book authors as we believe these authors have great advice for our students who are looking to get their first books published,” said Conoley.

Anne Goldman, an English Department professor, was a speaker at the festival and said she was very pleased with the turnout of the event. Goldman

partook in moderating a panel discussion on creative writing with other writers such as Ianthe Brautigan, Angela Morales, and Noelle Oxenhandler.

“It was a pleasure and an honor to be invited to read,” said Goldman. “I was particularly happy to read my work for my own students and I was very happy to see them there.”

“I also worked to obtain the writer we invited in the position of creative nonfiction, Angela Morales, and so introduced her Sunday night before her reading and handled communication with her,” said Goldman.

One of the many students who attended was Cynthia Cushing, a junior an english major on the creative writing track.

Cushing was one of the many who had the privilege to have their work workshopped by internationally acclaimed writers.

“Everything about the writers festival was amazing,” said

Cushing. “But my favorite part would have to be attending the workshop later in the day where other students and author Angela Morales had read my own writing and gave me some great insights on how to improve.”

According to Cushing, this was her first time being workshopped outside of the classroom and it has inspired her to continue her writing.

“As for next year I would definitely go back and I would highly recommend others to go,” said Cushing. “It was an experience I will always remember.”

Although not everyone had the opportunity to be workshopped many students went just to enjoy the environment.

Another student who attended was junior Maureen Bach, an english literature major, who didn’t know what to expect but could not have been more pleased with the outcome.

“I loved the collection of literature enthusiasts,” said Bach. “ It was so wonderful getting to see so many passionate people gather together to eat, drink, and talk.”

“The event itself could not have been more lovely,” said Bach. “The speakers explained to us that they had very specifically chosen the title festival in order to properly convey the idea behind the event and I couldn’t agree more with their decision.”

With the end of their first successful Writers Festival the team of the English Department will work on organizing the second festival to be held next spring and plan for this to be a yearly event from now on.

“We wanted to expand our already vibrant creative writing community to the general public and vice-versa, and to foster a sense of joy in the art of wiring and forming community,” said

Alcohol awareness week strives to educate students on the dangers of drinking KAYTLIN ABAD STAFF WRITER

A

bout 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle accidents, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Many students walked past the crashed car in front of Salazar Hall and the few programs tabling in Seawolf Plaza last week during the promotion of Alcohol Awareness Week.

These programs were collaborative organized by Student Involvement, the HUB, Associated Student Productions, Counseling Center and Residential Life, the Health Center, and many other on-campus or-

ganizations who believe alcohol-related injuries as well as drinking and driving should be made aware of.

Mo Phillips, Student Involvement Director, says that they try to create social and educational as well as passive and active events for the community.

“The crashed car is a very powerful statement, that is passive, and all a student needs to do is see it to experience it on some level,” said Phillips.

“Other passive efforts might be poster campaigns, facts and trivia regarding alcohol on lobovision and the screens in the student center, or a social media campaign” The schedule for the week consisted of the arrival of the crashed car and tabling for The

Wall, where students could add different colored bricks to a wall if certain issues regarding alcohol pertained to them personally.

Tuesday consisted of members within the Panhellenic community during their “Don’t You Dare” campaign as they tabled to invite students to sign a pledge to never drink and drive. The day then concluded with speaker Jessica Rasdell who shared her experience of drinking and driving.

“Alcohol abuse, as well as drinking and driving has become too common on campuses.” said Aubrie Russo, a junior communications major and Panhellenic President. “We integrated this issue into this week to educate and elaborate on the effects and repercussions

of driving while intoxicated.”

Jessica Rasdell, the speaker on Tuesday night opened up to students about how one simple mistake of drinking and driving had a big effect on the rest of her life.

Rasdall awoke in her crashed vehicle a mile away from her best friends college campus. She later found out the accident left her extremely injured and tragically killed her best friend.

“Students were gripped and very emotional from her story since when this happened she was around the same age as many of us are,” said Russo.

“She served time in prison and now makes it her mission to share her story to both educate students and to honor her best friend’s life.”

Simple active events such as tabling and handing out flyers as well as interactive events such as The Wall allowed students to realize that alcoholism and drinking and driving is more common than people think. Handing out flyers and having beneficial speakers can help educate students and expand the knowledge of the dangers of drinking and driving.

“Drinking and driving is definitely a problem with college students that needs to be addressed and I think education is where it needs to start,” said Jennifer McNealy, a junior marine biology major. “Even the simplest things such as tabling and advertising makes students aware that drinking and driving is even a problem or an issue.”

Guest speaker shares tragic DUI story EMILY JENKEL STAFF WRITER

“T

he only thing worse than losing your best friend is being charged with her

murder.”

On February 25, 2006, college freshmen and childhood best friends would go out on a Friday night to a nightclub for what would be the last night of one of their lives, the other would be charged with a DUI, manslaughter, prison time, and the eternal feeling of living with the fact that she is the reason her best friend is gone forever. This is Jessica Rasdall’ heartbreaking story, and can be the tragic result of drinking and driving.

On Tuesday in the Student Center, she shared her tragic, impactful story.

Through a slideshow of herself and best friend Laura from ages five years old up until the night of Laura’s death, Rasdall painted their life before the accident where the two were laughing, putting on makeup, and getting ready; to the end of the night, where Laura’s lifeless body was covered with a cloth.

She discussed how when driving home, neither one of them thought twice about if they were fit to drive.

There is not a day that goes by that Jessica does not think of her best friend and that night, waking up in the car and seeing Laura’s lifeless body in her passenger seat after the deadly crash.

Rasdall made it a goal to share her story with over 15,000 people before being sentenced to a plea deal of four years in prison. After being released, Rasdall has shared her story of turning her “mess into a message” for nearly 10 years and has been featured on major media outlets including ABC’s 20/20, Katie Couric, Seventeen Magazine,

The Guardian, MTV’s Series Premiere of One Bad Choice and many more.

“To me, what stood out the most of Jessica’s story was the reality that something like this could happen to anybody, even one of my friends or I, which is really scary,” said Katie Mckee, a freshman. “Drunk driving is a very real thing, it can happen to anyone, and comes with consequences that can change the rest of your life.”

During her speech, Rasdall brought out State Attorney Rohom Khonsari, who defended Laura’s parents and aimed to get Jessica a maximum, fifteen year sentence.

“Jessica is like all of you, she never had been in trouble before and one decision changed her life forever,” said Khonsari.

Khonsari emphasized the probability of tragedy from just a few drinks using a current medical student’s case to explain.

The third-year student went out on a Sunday afternoon for brunch with friends and had three mimosas. After getting in the car and taking a five mile per hour turn, a speeding motorcyclist hit the medical student mid-turn and died on impact. As a result, the medical student is now facing a possible 10 to 15 years in prison, will have to live his life as a felon, and will never become a doctor.

Khonsar stressed the point of making a plan before going out and the risk you are taking when you drink and drive, regardless of the amount ingested.

Members of Phi Sigma Sigma, who lost their sorority sister Paulette Quiba back in November due to a driver’s careless decision to drive under the influence, took signatures for individuals pledging not to drink and drive. Every-

Students react to Facebook scandal TANNER GUNNING

STAFF WRITER

P

rivacy is something that is hard to find in 2018, so when the little bit that we have gets sold to large companies for profit, it upsets the ones affected.

According to The Guardian and The New York Times, as stated in their respected stories, more than 50 million of Facebook’s users had their profiles collected and sold to the British company Cambridge Analytica.

A huge media firestorm began that caught the attention of hundreds of millions of people. This number was later revised to as many as 87 million Facebook profiles later in March.

The articles sought to outline how the data of millions of Facebook users ended up with the England based company. In it, it detailed how whistleblower Christopher Wylie, a co-founder of the political data analytics firm, revealed the alleged practices to both newspapers. Wylie claimed the data sold to Cambridge Analytica was then used to develop “psychographic” profiles of people and deliver pro-Trump material to them online.

Sonoma State Students agree that there has been a breach of trust that Facebook and Cambridge Analytica broke with this scandal.

Clayton Chatterley, a junior geography major, said

that he will not be deleting his Facebook page anytime soon because of the scandal.

“I have nothing to hide,” said Chatterley. “I don’t really care if anybody has my facebook profile, there isn’t anything important on there beside general information.”

Morgan Arancio, a junior communications major, said she would not be deleting her profile as well, but not for the same reasons as Chatterley.

“If I could delete my facebook then I would,” said Arancio. “But, I need it for important groups, and to keep in touch with some out of country family members, so I am going to keep it.”

According to Arancio, she does not use the app for anything else besides those two main reasons, and this scandal will not make her come back.

“I do not personally think students would delete their whole Facebook accounts, but I do think they will maybe delete certain things off their profiles from now on just to be safe,” said Kalyn Shute, a junior criminal justice major. “We are so driven and drawn to social media and being in the know that it would make it tough for people to leave altogether.”

Facebook has a long way to go in order to regain the trust of its users. From empty-nest mothers, to middle school teenagers, there has been a breach of trust.

For the time being, Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook have legal issues and hearings to deal with.

FACEBOOK.COM These will tell the world how much he had to do with the scandal, and hopefully find some way to start the rebuilding process for Facebook.

Others thoughts that have risen about the scandal is that now students are not going to trust the multibillion dollar company.

“Yes my trust in the company has changed,” said Chatterley. “It has changed because it’s hard to trust someone when they do something of that magnitude without anyone knowing or giving permission.”

T

he Sonoma State University women’s water polo team faced off in a pair of games last weekend against Cal State East Bay and Santa Clara University. On Saturday, the Seawolves made their way down to Hayward, California to face conference rival Cal State East Bay in an afternoon matchup.

The Seawolves came out with a quick goal in the last six minutes of the first period from the efforts of Cassidy Mundt. The Pioneers fired back at the Seawolves by going on 7-0 run from the end of the first period towards the end of the second period. The Pioneer players responsible for these seven goals were Brooke Hodgkinson, Auriel Bill, Ivanna Anderson and Adrien Van Dyke. The Seawolves answered back with a goal by Taylor Brooks with two minutes left in the second period to make the score 7-2, going into the second half in favor of the Pioneers.

Cal State East Bay opened up the third period with a goal by Bill to make the score 8-2 at the beginning of the second half of gameplay. The Seawolves came back with a goal on an error by Lily Carlon to make the score 8-3 with five minutes remaining in the third period. The Pioneers answered back to make the score 9-3 with a goal by Van Dyke that kept the team’s momentum going.

Junior Seawolf Taylor Brown came up with two more goals in the third period to make the score 9-5, but was not able to put up any more goals throughout the rest of the third period. The Pioneers went on to pick up four more goals in the remaining span of the game to ultimately close out with an overall score of 13-6 to defeat the Seawolves.

Brown led the Seawolves by picking up three goals in the matchup against the Pioneers. The loss will bring the Seawolves’ overall record to 6-16 on the season.

Sonoma State hoped to bounce back on Sunday afternoon for Senior Day against the visiting Division 1 Santa Clara University Broncos at Sonoma State University. The team ultimately came up short in a well-contested matchup that ended with a score of 10-9 in favor of the visiting Broncos.

The Broncos came out with a fast start in the first period by picking up three goals—two by Lauren Paxton, and one by Hailey Eberle—to make the score 3-0 after the first. The Broncos kept their momentum to the second period, with a goal by Hannah Buck to make the score 4-0.

The Seawolves started to shift the momentum in the second period with two goals by Brown and one by Amanda Weddle to make the score 4-3 going into the second half of gameplay. The third period was an overall back-and-forth matchup which resulted in a tied game with an overall score of 8-8 going into the fourth period.

The Seawolves came out strong in the third period by picking up five goals; three by Mundt, one by Jordan Williams and one by Carlon. The Broncos were able to pick up two goals in the middle half of the fourth, which brought the score to 10-8 with three minutes remaining in the fourth. The Seawolves caught late momentum in the end of the fourth with a power play goal from Williams with two minutes left on the clock, which brought the team within one.

The Seawolves, in the end, couldn’t pull off the win against the Division 1 Broncos, with an overall final score of 10-9 in a bittersweet Senior Day loss at home. The loss will bring the Seawolves’ overall record to 6-17 and remain 2-4 in the WWPA. Sonoma State will next prepare for its final regular-season game at 1:00 p.m. on April 21 against Fresno Pacific in Fresno, California.

No. 1 ranked Wildcats sweep Seawolves at home LINDSEY HUFFMAN STAFF WRITER

L

ast weekend the Sonoma State University softball team went 0-4 in its series against school rivals, the Chico State Wildcats. The first game of the doubleheader Chico State had a quick lead to start the day off, commanding a 5-0 lead in the third inning.

The Seawolves responded in the fifth on a single from Malory Masajlo who would score Karly Macadangdang, allowing the Seawolves to get on the board, 5-1. The sixth inning, Alex Flores scored on a double by Alee Balanon, closing the Chico lead to three runs. The Seawolves weren’t able to capitalize and lost to the Wildcats 5-2.

The Seawolves, unfortunately, weren’t able to pull out a win and lost the second game 11-7.

Saturday’s doubleheader was just as tough as the last one, leaving the No.18 ranked Sonoma to lose the first game, 6-2.

In the second game, Brigid Ruiz pitched for the Seawolves, only giving up two runs out of five hits. But still wasn’t enough for the Seawolves as they came up short in the last game of the series, 2-0.

After going 0-4 this weekend with the ranked No. 3 Chico, players ref lected on the loss “I feel one of the biggest obstacles we had was not executing the little things, such as not being able to capitalize on outs or giving the other team free bases,” Macadangdang said.

“Well, we knew this weekend was going to be one of the toughest battles yet,” Gabby Dupree said. “I think Chico did a great job at capitalizing on some of our mistakes and having timely hitting. As for our performance, I think we did better than most teams in this conference, especially offensively against this team.

Most teams were not able to score the amount of runs we did against their pitching staff.”

Both seniors ref lected on the weekend and gave a positive outlook on what’s to come for the rest of the season.

“Our focus as a team is to focus on the little things,” Macadangdang said.

“Take one pitch at a time, one out at a time. I feel like all we can do as a team is learn and stick together and keep pushing through.”

Dupree said she looks forward to the next two weeks of the regular season.

“I think considering that we just competed with one of the best pitchers in conference, we are confident that we will be able to attack the rest of the pitchers and teams that are on our path,” she said. “This is just one stop on our championship journey and we’re only going up from here.”

The Seawolves fall to 25-18 for the overall season, while Chico State improves 39-3. Sonoma State currently sits tied for third place in the CCAA standing with Stanislaus State. Up next the Seawolves face the San Francisco State Gators at home for another four-game series.

Seawolves split four-game series against Golden Eagles

JESSICA BENNETT STAFF WRITER

A

trip down to Southern California left the Sonoma State University baseball team in a split against competitor Cal State Los Angeles.

From the SSU series sweep against Cal State San Bernardino to losing the first game of the series, the Seawolves came back and battled it out in the games against the Golden Eagles.

Starting off for the Seawolves was a right-handed pitcher, No. 5 Dominic Garihan, who in the last series against San Bernardino Garihan pitched a complete game.

Sadly, during this series he only went to four innings, giving up seven runs.

With the bases loaded, seniors Nicco Toni and Nathan Mann tied up the game 2-2. On the top of the fourth, Sonoma State’s shortstop’s error allowed Cal State Los Angeles to substantially take the lead. Headed into the sixth with bases loaded, Sonoma State walked in some of the Golden Eagles players, and was unable to match their runs.

In the eighth, junior Joshua Lenney’s solo shot and Evan Seidell’s RBI allowed Sonoma State two more runs.

Unfortunately, game one ended in a tough loss for the Seawolves with the final score at 9-4.

Starting off for the Seawolves Saturday morning was senior pitcher Michael Warning,

who went for 3.2 innings. During the first inning, Cal State LA earned three runs off of Warning.

Coming back during the fourth, Sonoma State player Daniel Hawkins’ groundout put SSU on the board. Junior Grant St. Martin hit the first homer of the series to right field. The Eagles had a one run lead at this time.

This is Martin’s fourth homer of the year and first in conference.

“It was definitely nice to get a good start to the weekend,” he said. Being a utility player, he came in to finish off the game and get his fifth save of the year.

“My mentality is just to come back in and be a rock for my teammates wherever I am needed,” he said. “Whether it be at the plate or on the mound, I just want to do what I can to contribute to a win.”

Coming back in the sixth inning, SSU woke up with a 6-3 lead over the Golden Eagles, and then scored two more runs over Cal State LA during the ninth inning. With a win, Sonoma State said they were ready to take on game three of the series.

Junior pitcher Tyson Canfield came in for 4.1 innings.

“One thing that I have to have on the day I pitch is some music because it gets me ready to go,” he said.

“I play some long toss and think about how I am going to pitch to the opposing team. Once I get to the field I make

sure my lower back and legs are stretched out. I throw 20 pitches in the bullpen, making sure all my offspeed pitches are working, like my curveball, slider and change-up.”

Going into the second game of the day, Sonoma State grabbed a quick lead in the first. Matthew Richards singled to right as Joshua Montelongo came in with a 1-0 lead.

Following the fifth inning, Richards grounded out, scoring St. Martin. In the bottom of the fifth, Cal State LA came in, taking the lead from the Seawolves.

The Seawolves fell to Cal State LA during the second game, with the final score of 8-5.

The final game made Sonoma State history, with seven home runs and the SSU Seawolves’ final score of 21-15. Bryce Nagata went six-for-seven and St. Martin hit two more out of the park. During the third, Nagata was back up to the plate and hit a grand slam, advancing Sonoma State’s lead to 14-4 against Cal State LA. However, the Golden Eagles came back hard with a 14-13 score in the sixth.

Starting pitcher Michael Byerline commented on this last game, saying, “It was definitely a game we needed to win. We put ourselves in a good position heading into the last few weeks, and as long as we keep playing the way we are then we should be fine.

“Today’s game was an anomaly because of how many home runs were hit. I am just glad that our hitters are in the groove; hopefully we can keep that up in these next few weeks.”

Sonoma State improves its standings to 22-16 overall and 18-14 CCAA. The Seawolves will come back home and play the No. 1 seed Cal State Monterey Bay this weekend. This four-game series begins April 20.

Right-handed pitcher Michael Warning reflects on his first and last season at Sonoma State STAR // Christine von Raesfeld

A

s a senior finishing up his first and last season with Sonoma State University baseball, No. 16 Michael Warning is ready to continue with his future endeavors.

Starting off in tee-ball at age five, Warning knew he would forever love baseball.

Throughout his baseball career, Warning said he never lost his love for the game.

“No one has inspired me to keep playing. I kept playing because of my love for this game,” he said.

Warning’s love for the game is what got him to Sonoma State University.

Because this is his first season, his first outing was against UC San Diego and doubled as the highlight of his baseball moments at SSU. As a pitcher, Warning has been attributed with six wins and five losses this season for the Seawolves.

“Being a pitcher is sort of tricky,” Warnings said. His most challenging pitch would have to be his curveball, while his favorite pitch is a change-up.

“I love pickoffs,” he said, “especially when we get to be creative.”

Warning is a superstitious man, and he has a very special routine when

it’s game day. “When I am pitching, I follow the same routine every inning,” he said. “I grab water and sit down in the same spot. Once they get an out I grab a sip of Gatorade. When we have two outs I grab my glove and sit at the end of the dugout ready to go.”

Throughout his time playing baseball, he has his family to thank. “My parents are so supportive, they have always [been] there for me throughout my baseball experience,” he said.

“They have given me everything I needed to succeed in baseball. They are my biggest fans.”

Junior Michael Byerline complimented his teammate.

“Mike is a great guy. He definitely leads by example in the sense that he works very hard,” he said. “Mike comes to practice early when he has class to throw a bullpen every Tuesday. By him being one of the seniors on the team, I know people respect him as a person and a baseball player because of the standards he holds himself to.”

As he finished up his time at SSU, Warning has found himself caught in the crossfire of wanting to continue to play and starting his future career as a hydrologist.

“There is not too much to look forward to, just graduating and starting my life,” Warning said.
