Video: Professor grabs student

By Madison Wilber CONTRIBUTOR

A San José State history professor allegedly assaulted a student during a protest at Sweeney Hall on Feb. 19.

Jonathan Roth, a history professor, allegedly grabbed a student's wrist and twisted it before being removed by SJSU’s University Police Department.

Suhila Bennett, a San José resident attending the protest, allegedly witnessed Roth grab the student.

“He decided to grab (the student) by her hand and twist it, twist it hard,” Bennett said.

Michelle Smith McDonald, senior director of media relations for SJSU, stated in an email there was an altercation and that no injuries have been reported.

McDonald also stated there were no arrests and that no charges had been filed at the time of the incident.

The Spartan Daily reached out to Roth for comment multiple times and he did not respond back in time for publication.

If he does, this story will be updated online.

The Spartan Daily also attempted to speak with the student who was attacked, but they were not comfortable officially recounting the timeline of events due to fear of retaliation and safety.

Tarentz Charite, a philosophy sophomore, said he was “right there” when Roth allegedly made contact with the student.

“We had been occupying the hall and then they (Roth) had suddenly come out,” Charite said. “Then he grabbed the student.”

Pro-Palestinian supporters originally met to protest a lecture being held by California State University, Long Beach Professor Jeffrey Blutinger, who they referred to as a zionist, and who was preparing to speak about finding a peaceful resolution between Israel and Palestine among the conflict in the Middle East.

McDonald said the university administration made the decision to end the lecture and armed-police escorted Blutinger

safely off campus.

Blutinger, who teaches Jewish studies, said he was not scared, but thinks the students at the lecture were robbed of an opportunity to learn.

“They don’t want Jews to speak,” Blutinger said. “I think it’s anti-semetism.”

He said he has protested speakers before, but never to the point of ruining the speaker’s chance to talk.

Blutinger said this protest was an interference to academic freedom and the freedom to learn.

After Blutinger and attendees of the lecture were escorted out of the area, protesters went outside in the rain to continue to voice their concerns.

Bennett said she thought that SJSU hosting Blutinger as a speaker was completely inappropriate.

“He tried to justify peace moving forward,” Bennett said. “But I think it’s lost (in) translation to have peace when you’re currently massacring 30,000 plus civilians.”

Bennett said the Palestinian

people do not want peace, they want freedom.

“We want liberation, not to shake hands with our occupiers (or) to live neighboring with our colonizers,” Bennett said.

Dorah Rosen Shuey, a Santa Cruz resident, said as a Jewish woman she does not agree with Zionism and was looking forward to attending the lecture and to having an open discussion.

Zionism refers to the national movement for the return and rebuilding of Jewish people to their homeland in the Land of Israel. The Land of Israel differs from the present day State of Israel because it includes more land, according to the Jewish Virtual Library.

Rosen said she believes Zionism goes against the Jewish religion.

“God had decided that we were not worthy to stay in Jerusalem, the temples were destroyed twice,” Rosen explained.

The Jewish Community Relations Council Bay Area tweeted a response to the protest,

stating the tactics used against Blutinger were intimidating and “deeply troubling.”

The organization also urged the university to take action in order to keep Jewish students safe.

Schools across the United States have seen a rise in discrimination and harassment on college campuses and in K-12 schools since the Israel-Hamas conflict that began on Oct. 7, according to a webpage from the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights. Since Nov. 2023 the department has launched an investigation into seven institutions.

“If you look at most religions, they have pretty much the same ideals for people being cooperative with each other, living in peace and harmony and also being in harmony with the rest of nature,” Rosen said.

“And that's what I feel like and that's the side of Judaism that really speaks to me.”

Day of Rememberance arrives

By Kaya Henkes-Power STAFF WRITER

San José State University hosted its second annual Day of Remembrance at the Hammer Theatre Center on Monday.

Four educational events were held to acknowledge the anniversary of Executive Order 9066: three of which were panels, and an art walk to view the Japanese-American Internment Memorial Statue.

The statue was created by modernist sculptor Ruth Asawa to commemorate the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese and JapaneseAmericans in California during World War II, according to SJSU’s College of Humanities and the Arts.

Roosevelt, which forced the incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans.

This order required JapaneseAmerican citizens to move into constructed camps surrounded by armed troops and barbed wire, where they were also denied their Fifth Amendment rights, according to Dartmouth College.

The first educational session for the Day of Remembrance was a viewing and panel for the film “Nisei” by SJSU alumnus Darren Haruo Rae. Nisei in Japanese translates to “second-generation”. This term was used in reference to a child of Japanese immigrants who was born and educated in the United States, according to a PBS article.

Julián Castro speaks to students

By Nikita Bankar STAFF WRITER

Former Mayor of San Antonio and former Democratic Presidential candidate Julián Castro participated in a Q&A on Monday in the Student Union Ballroom and over Zoom to share pieces of his life and give advice to future aspiring leaders.

President Cynthia TenienteMatson hosted the event, and asked Julián Castro questions about his upbringing and how he rose to his positions in the political world.

Julián Castro said he grew up in a neighborhood in San Antonio, Texas that was 95% Mexican American and low income.

“I grew up with my mom and grandmother because my parents split up when Joaquin, my twin brother, and I were about 8 years old,” Julián Castro said. “After we graduated from school in 1992, we both got scholarships to come out here to Stanford.”

Joaquin Castro currently serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, according to his U.S. Congressional website. He was the 2013 co-president for the House freshman Democrats and the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus for the 116th Congress, according to the same site.

Julián Castro said growing up in a household that was very focused on justice and equality, and having his mother be a Chicano activist and Democratic chairman is what interested him in going into public service.

He said he did not think he was going to Harvard Law School until his second or third year of college.

“I got an internship at the White

House after my sophomore year, and I worked in the office of Cabinet Affairs,” he said. “In 2014, when I became a cabinet member, it was a great full-circle moment.”

Julián Castro was on the San Antonio City Council from 2001 to 2005, and served as the mayor of San Antonio from 2009 to 2014, according to an article by ABC. He then served as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development from 2014 to 2017 under President Barack Obama, according to the same source.

Julián Castro said he first ran for mayor in 2005, and after losing that race, he ran again and got elected at age 34.

“The thing about losing in politics is that failure is very public,” Julián Castro said. “However, you really do learn more when you lose than when you win.”

Before being invited by former President Barack Obama to join the Oval Office, Julián Castro said he worked on an organization called Pre-K 4 SA, which was raising the sales tax to fund high-quality fullday pre-K for students.

The education plan was unveiled in 2020, and Julián Castro joined other candidates running that year in calling for tuition-free higher education, universal preschool and increasing teacher salaries, according to PBS. Expanding prekindergarten was Julián Castro’s most impactful achievement during his five years as mayor of San Antonio, according to the same site.

Leonardo Plazola, chief elections officer for the Students’ Elections Commision under Associated Students, said Julián Castro became the youngest city councilman in history at the age of 26.

Julián Castro wears a red pin that reads, ‘MOMS DEMAND ACTION’ while attending an event.

“He also made history in 2012 by delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, being the first Latino to do so,” Plazola said. “Castro has distinguished himself as a strong leader and successful public servant for nearly two decades.”

Julián Castro also said since there were 24 campaigns at the time for president, everyone was competing for talent.

“I’d be lying to you if I said it wasn’t a tough competition,” Julián Castro said.

President Teniente-Matson asked Julián Castro what it was like for him to be a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC News, since he mentioned giving thoughts about originally becoming a journalist.

Since withdrawing from the

2020 Democratic primary, Julián Castro has appeared as a guest on numerous Microsoft NBC talk shows during daytime and primetime programming, according to The Hill.

“I was very paranoid the first time I did it, but I realized that in the workplace, if you have a good team around you then your job is easier,” Julián Castro said. “It made it a lot less scary.”

Teniente-Matson said being a guest anchor must have been a fun experience for Julián Castro.

“To be able to shape that conversation that is influencing so many individuals that are watching is such a lovely opportunity,” TenienteMatson said.

Julián Castro said in terms of the future of politics and today’s

world, he admires the current young generation’s idealism and aspirations for making this country better.

He also said because former President Donald Trump gave people permission to go in a different direction and galvanize this, division in the country increased.

“My hope is that we’re going in a new and better direction that is more inclusive, and one that is going to be led by young people,” Julián Castro said. “Every time we have a new generation coming up, it is a chance for us to make significant progress in the country.”

REMEMBERANCE Continued from page 1 The short film is about two brothers who served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in World War II. It is based on the diaries of Rae’s grandfather, who served in the military unit. “(Darren’s) grandfather wasn’t very open with a lot of it, just a little hints of here and there,” producer and co-director of Spartan Film, Nick Martinez said. “Then when he passed everything (was) given to Darren.”

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was a segregated Japanese-American military unit that is considered the most decorated military unit in U.S. history. This unit earned over 4,000 Purple Hearts with a unit of 18,000 men according to the National WWII Museum.

The film took 8 months to complete and around 40 to 70 hours of work each week, according to Martinez.

This short film has won six awards, one of those awards coming from the Cinequest Film and Creativity Festival, which resulted in a consideration for the 96th Academy Awards.

Carolyn Brown, acting vice president of the board of directors at the Japanese American Museum of San José said the film “did a nice job of shining the light on what happens when racism and xenophobia are elevated above the level of the individual.”

Brown said that the country's debate about immigration is alive and well, and it demands that people look at history and learn from it. She said that the history of what happened directly affects us today.

“If you look at today’s generation, there's this myth and it’s of the model minority,” Brown said The model minority is a myth that is based on stereotypes and characterizes Asian Americans as a group that achieves a

higher level of success than the general population, according to Learning for Justice.

“Consider for a moment that (Asian youth) aren’t trying to be better,” Brown said. “They’re trying to get their seat at the table in society.”

The Day of Remembrance is also a way for SJSU to acknowledge the campus’s role during Executive Order 9066.

During this executive order, SJSU’s campus had a building that acted as a registration center for 2,487 people of Japanese descent before being forcibly removed to incarceration camps. This building is now Yoshihiro Uchida Hall and was formerly called Spartan Complex West, according to San José State University’s blog.

This building is named after Yoshihiro Uchida, a SJSU alumnus who established the judo program at SJSU. After only a month into his studies,

he was drafted into the U.S. Army serving as a medical technician, according to the Japanese American Museum of San José.

Business sophomore Jake Shimada said, “This is history right in front of us, and we have to tell these stories because who else is going to tell the story that they were here.”

Shimada said that it’s really important for the younger generation to make sure they keep the history alive and to tell their history and stories.

In between the first educational session and the second educational session was a Kumi-daiko performance by the San José Taiko Group.

Kumi-daiko is the art of Japanese drumming with the use of drums (taiko), according to Stanford University.

The San José Taiko Group was founded in the late 1960’s and was established

by PJ Hirabayashi, who also helped establish SJSU’s Asian American Studies, said Wisa Uemura, a performer and executive director of San José Taiko Group.

Following the Taiko performance, a series of four speakers talked about the reason why the Day of Remembrance is important to the SJSU community.

“We’re here because we want to make sure we never forget the injustice of the Japanese internment during World War II,” Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez said.

Chavez said that she is proud of SJSU for acknowledging the role and wrongs it played during Executive Order 9066. She said that a part of healing is being able to say ‘we were wrong’.

Nina Chuang, former SJSU Associated Students president, said she thought about how it was important for someone

who wasn’t Japanese to take this history in her term as president.

“The fact I, an Asian American woman, served as student body president representative of thousands of students with various identities for an institution that was complicit for this injustice to happen,” Chuang said, “Made me feel like a contradiction.”

She said increasing awareness of the campus’s history is integral to the healing that must occur for the university to advance in serving its students.

“To better understand our institution we must acknowledge and condemn this injustice and take the steps to make sure this never happens again to any campus,” said Chuang.

Greek Life meets San José State

By Ethan Li STAFF WRITER

The United Sorority and Fraternity Council (USFC) held a showcase to demonstrate their performances and culture in the housing quad on Thursday afternoon.

The USFC Showcase takes place ever y semester, and is hosted by the United Sorority and Fraternity Council, which is the largest at San José State. According to their website 17 different organizations fall under their umbrella.

“USFC is made up of identity and cultural based organizations,” said Shantay Saddi, a psychology senior and president of Sigma Theta Psi. Saddi said that all members of the sorority can “embrace their cultural diversity and differences with one another.”

She said when she entered college, she did not know whether or not she wanted to join a sorority, but the sisters of Sigma Theta Psi were very welcoming to her.

Saddi said that the process was transformative and Sigma Theta Psi turned her shy self into an outgoing and proud sister.

She said it was “good timing” when she joined because the sorority served as a support network to keep her afloat

when she needed it.

The showcase allows students and the SJSU community to learn the traditions and history of each chapter, according to the SJSU USFC website.

The event featured a DJ and live performances from the chapters to get attendees interested in their organizations.

Kristine Nguyen, business marketing

junior, Alpha Kappa Delta Phi sister and one of the performers at the event, said the sorority practiced for weeks leading up the event, staying late nights to practice their performance.

Nguyen said the performance was an opportunity both to “appeal to rushees” and to people watching the event.

She said the dancers could show off a side to them that people would not see in their day-today lives.

Andy Romero, business management junior and member of Nu Alpha Kappa said that the small chapter sizes work in their favor as they give more of an opportunity to connect with each person.

He said each member

knows each brother on a close first name basis, and that the limited numbers allowed the organization to foster deeper understanding and connection within the brotherhood.

Romero said while Nu Alpha Kappa is a Latinobased group, that does not mean that they only bring in Latinos, because its bonds of brotherhood

are open to all.

“Our org and our whole council accepts people of all races, all backgrounds, no matter who you are,” Nguyen said.

First dates are pho-cking hard

Dylan Nichols COLUMNIST

time, I matched with a woman named Nancy (not her real name) on Tinder. Following a couple of days of flirtatious exchanges and banter, we agreed to meet at a local pho restaurant.

After our initial meet and greet, we were seated by the hostess and began perusing the menu. Having grown up on the east side of San José, I was no stranger to Vietnamese cuisine.

Unaware that my meal choice would cost me the date, I placed my order along with Nancy’s.

We hit it off instantly. There was undeniable chemistry. Our euphoric bliss lasted until my first slurp of soup. Shoot, I was already imagining what our future children would look like.

My romanticized fantasies of consummation were dashed the moment I inhaled my food instead of swallowing it.

Picture this, you’re in a crowded restaurant, sitting across the table from a beautiful stranger as the aroma of soulsoothing soup flavors the air.

Nancy’s conversational attempts were cut short as the situation got worse . . . much worse.

Meanwhile, the golf ball-sized wad of noodles lodged in my windpipe constricted my ability to breathe, let alone respond to whatever story Nancy was telling.

I thought I was certainly going to die.

My face turned as red as the Sriracha sauce I’d doused my noodles in.

Sweat dotted my forehead like the droplets of beef broth dribbling from my lips.

Nancy, continuing her story, didn't notice my subtle efforts to

index finger down my throat, gripped the clump and finally hocked it out . . . right into Nancy’s soup.

Her look of disgust intensified as my slimy, mucus-ridden noodle ball splashed soup on her face.

Despite the fact I nearly died, it was like she didn’t even care.

I think Nancy threw up a bit in her mouth, but she didn’t miss a beat in signaling for the check, which by the way, I had to pay.

Needless to say, a goodnight kiss was not on the menu.

Tune in next week as I recount my one and only date with a homeless woman.

clear my throat. After 45 seconds of asphyxiation and all attempts failed, drastic measures were taken.

I shot up from my chair, wrapped my clenched fists around my diaphragm and began a self-initiated Heimlich maneuver. As 15 more seconds passed, I gasped for air to no avail.

By this point, I’d caught Nancy’s attention as well as everyone else’s in the restaurant.

Instantly, with everyone watching, I dropped to my knees and tried to heave out the clump of noodles. Just imagine what a riving cat goes through while hacking up a hairball and you’ll have a comparison to go by.

After a minute of choking and multiple failed attempts to dislodge my clogged esophagus, I finally reached my thumb and

In his sleevies.

Finding a location for a first date is a lot like finding a home in the real estate business – it’s all about location, location, location.

It’s also impossible to predict how a first date could end.

A hug? A kiss? A trip to the emergency room? The potential outcomes are endless.

The date I’ll be rehashing today ended with one of us choking on something long and wet.

Now I know what you’re thinking, but the lengthy and moist choking hazard in question was a pho noodle.

It’s a bit thinner than you were probably expecting, but nevertheless, eating pho for a first date is never a good idea.

Love, or the lack thereof, lingers in the air leading up to Valentine’s Day and remains once it’s passed. Whether you’re single, taken or in a polyamorous love pentagon, this Hallmark holiday stirs up our emotions like ingredients in a witch’s love potion.

Either way, love is a convoluted and bittersweet cocktail of emotions, especially around Valentine’s Day. Keeping this in mind, I found myself reflecting upon Valentine's Day dates that didn’t end well.
