At approximately 6:45 p.m. on Friday, April 10, California State University, East Bay students, faculty and staff received a “timely warning” through a variety of alerts regarding the threat of a possible shooting on campus the following day, Saturday, April 11. It started with an overheard conversation on the school campus’ track, according to Sheryl Boykins, Chief of University Police. Boykins said a student was jogging on campus and overheard a conversation from a group of males that he neither knew, nor recognized. Boykins explained that one of those students said something about having acquired a gun and planning to bring it to campus on Saturday. “That was the extent of our information at that time,” said Boykins. The student who overheard the conversation shared the information with another CSUEB student, who then posted the information on Facebook, Boykins said. This prompted calls from the campus community, including concerned parents who read the Facebook post online. “And once that information was out before we could vet it, we decided to put out a timely warning to the campus,” said Boykins. Jeff Bliss, executive director of university communications, said this is the first time the university has sent out this type of alert. The university sent emails, phone calls, social media and text messages utilizing “AlertMe,” an alerting and warning service for students, staff and faculty. After alerts went out, Bliss received dozens of emails and phone calls inquiring about the alleged threat. After hearing the details, he was asked by concerned citizens why the university

CSUEB recruiting unconventional By Louis LaVenture
California State University, East Bay’s Associated Students Inc. extended its application deadline for candidates looking to run for student government to Friday, April 17 by 5 p.m. The date was extended to give students more time to apply and be a part of ASI, according to ASI Executive Vice President Marie Ibarra. According to Hebert, prior to this year, approximately 10 percent of the student body voted in the elections. “ASI aims to increase the student participation through the use of social media, giveaways, tabling, and events that will help to promote the elections and the candidates running,” said Ibarra. There are 14 ASI Board of Director positions that students can apply for. The executive positions are President, Executive Vice President, Vice President of Finance, Vice President of Internal Affairs, and Vice President of External Affairs. The director positions that students are able to apply for are Director of Legislative Affairs, Director of Programming Council, Director of Sustainability Affairs, Director of Concord Campus, and the Director of Wellness. The senator positions are the Senator of the College of Business and Economics, the Senator of the College of Education and Allied Studies, the Senator of the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences, and the Senator of the College of Science. Previously reported by The Pioneer last year, four out of 25 students ran unopposed for their position. This included the ASI President, Vice President of Finance, Vice President of External Affairs, and Vice President of Internal Affairs. But since April 14, all 14 positions are occupied, according to Ibarra. “We anticipate more candidates running in this year’s election with less positions unopposed as in previous years,” said Stan Hebert, associate vice president and dean of students.

SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITORS When most people hear the term “recruiting” they have their own idea of what that means. Generally people think it means a talented high school or junior college athlete that is being courted by a slew of NCAA Division I blueblood schools. Schools offer full scholarships to these athletes in hopes that they will choose to attend their school and bolster the sports program. However, for California State University, East Bay and similar schools that aren’t Division I, recruiting has a completely different meaning. For a Division II school like CSUEB, the appeal to top-level high school and junior college athletes is not as strong as it is for Division I schools. Institutions that are in the NCAA Division I are able to offer prospective athletes full scholarships that cover tuition, books, and housing for most of or usually their entire athletic-collegiate career, something that CSUEB does not do. “We operate on a partial scholarship model,” Beth Murdock said, the CSUEB Assistant Athletics Director in charge of Compliance and Student Services. “Each head coach has a scholarship budget that they manage. Just over half of our student-athletes receive some athletically related aid.” Scholarships are part of the athletics department budget that is included in the complete school budget that is ap-

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry’s stellar play during 2015 NBA season is why he is the most deserving player to receive the 2015 NBA Most Valuable Player award. Fans of Rockets shooting guard James Harden and Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook may beg to differ, but the key statistics say otherwise. Curry’s current net points rating of +873 stands as the best single season total in NBA history. The net points statistic measures how many points a player’s team scores when he is on the court versus the amount his team gives up. It reveals the overall impact that a player’s performance has on the outcome of the game by considering offensive and defensive contributions. Curry’s rating is followed by two other Warrior teammates. The next closest non-Warrior player is Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul who has a rating of +686. This simply means that throughout Curry’s 2,565 minutes spent on the court this season, the Warriors have outscored opponents by 873 points. Westbrook’s rating is +199 and Harden’s is +320. Their points minus their opponent’s points combined is still a mere 354 points behind Curry’s mark. What makes Curry’s net points so high? His lethal ability to unleash a three-point shot from anywhere on the court at any moment. Curry set the NBA record last week for most three pointers made in one season, at 281. Teammate Klay Thompson is next up with 223. The 3-point shot is the single most momentum-changing play in the NBA, and Curry is the master of it. Countless times this season, when the Warriors were on the verge of being put away by an opponent, Curry stepped

tam.duong@csueastbay.edu
ILLUSTRATOR That driving force has undoubtedly been Curry as he has done everything you could ask of an MVP. Looking for highlight plays? Curry felicitously hits circus layups he has no business making, often while being fouled. He also has the tendency to make opponents look foolish on the court with his filthy ball handling skills. Just ask Chris Paul, the most recent sacrificial victim Curry punished to display his talent on the court. All you’ve got to do is log onto your preferred social media website to see a clip of Curry make Paul trip over his own feet. When you break down all the statistics, they are clearly in Curry’s favor. How could you choose Harden or Westbrook for the award when they rank one and two in shots missed this season? You couldn’t. The MVP is Curry. Give the man the hardware.

Correction:
In the April 9, 2015 issue of The Pioneer, the article titled “More parking spaces for CSUEB,” the name Derrick Lobo was misspelled. The grace period for students to purchase a parking permit applies only to General Student Parking. Lobo’s recommendation was to park in Lots N and P. The shuttle that can be taken from University Village to the campus is the Castro Valley Shuttle. The bike service is called Zapster and is a collaboration that is paid for by both the Parking & Transportation Services Department and the Campus Recreation Department. A portion of transportation funds also helps to subsidize the cost of The University Shuttle Service. The graphic stated the student parking permit is $135, but the cost for a parking permit is $130 this quarter. In the article titled “East Bay wildlife scorched by the drought,” the name Wendy Winstead was misspelled.

Shooting From Page 1 would send out a series of alerts for what seemed like a low threat situation. “Out of an abundance of caution. We all know the history [of school shootings] out there. We know the story. It’s better to be safe than sorry,” said Bliss. He continued to say that he wanted to give the students and community all the information they had so that people could make the best decision for their personal safety. Depending on the nature of the threat, CSUEB can have increased police presence on campus as long as they have the resources to provide them. Bliss says the university maintained communica-
tion with local and statewide officials throughout the duration of the threat. “It’s part of preparation as well as follow up,” said Bliss. According to Boykins, this is the first shooting threat in CSUEB history, although she could not verify this with certainty. “Anytime there’s information of that type we don’t have the luxury anymore of taking it for granted or not taking it serious,” said Boykins. UPD is in the process of putting posters in every building that explain what to do in the case of an emergency, as well as hosting an active shooter training throughout the campus for each building to guide students through the protocol of what to do and how to act in the event of a school shooting. “We’re doing it in small groups. I
think that’s more effective,” said Boykins. “Each building has its own unique emergency responses and escape routes.” After the initial notification, students began to post on social media about the threat. A member of Sigma Sigma Sigma at CSUEB posted in a Facebook group that the threat was towards Alpha Phi’s third annual Red Dress Gala to be held on Saturday evening. The event was cancelled as a result of the alleged threat. “I’m very heartbroken this had to happen, but it is for our best,” said a member of Alpha Phi. Boykins cautions students to think before posting on social media in the future. “When [students] post things on social media, be aware of the consequences of their posting,” said Boykin.

Perhaps best known for his book “Race Matters,” the philosopher, activist, and commentator Dr. Cornel West has spent four decades exploring issues of race, class, and gender in America through dozens of written works, academic lectures, and talk radio. West will speak on the topics of equality, education, and economics in America at 7 p.m. on April 23 in the California State University, East Bay’s University Theater as part of the an ongoing CSUEB Talk series hosted by Associated Students, Inc. After hearing West speak about leadership years ago Marc Cochran, CSUEB’s student government program coordinator, invited West to speak on campus this month. “One of the things that kind of reached out and grabbed me was the fact that he was saying these days we find so many flaws in our leaders to the point where we incapacitate them to lead and so we can’t greatness out of them because we’re looking for flaws,” Cochran said.
Cochran hopes that this event will inspire students and remind them that everyone has flaws, but in spite of those flaws, they still have the potential to do great things in the future and be equally as influential as leaders that have come before us. West first visited CSUEB’s campus in 2011 during a faculty strike. Signs were held that read “Fewer Classes, Higher Fees, CSU is Run by Thieves.” With a bullhorn in his hand, West spoke to a picket line during the strike in front of the university. Video footage of the strike shows West saying, “It is international because there’s precious human beings in every corner of the globe. When you have faculty who straighten their backs up and take a stand and connect with the students and administrators then you got something special going on. That’s what’s going on here at California State University, Hayward.” After the free event, there will be a book signing for West’s latest book “Black Prophetic Fire,” an examination of African American leaders including Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr., Ella Baker, Malcolm X and Ida B. Wells.

Hayward theater portrays Hank Williams’ life Theater revives music of Country Western icon By Sam Benavidez ARTS AND LIFE EDITOR In their upcoming production of “Hank Williams: Lost Highway,” Hayward’s Douglas Morrison Theatre tells the life story of the highly influential American singer almost entirely through music. Originally produced by Manhattan Ensemble Theater in 2002, DMT’s version of the musical biography will open on Friday. “Hank Williams: Lost Highway,” follows the short life of 1940s Country Western singer Hank Williams, played by Kevin Singer. The play explains how some of his most famous songs came to be and aims to show how influential Williams has been on modern day musicians. “There’s comedy, there’s drama, there’s sadness, there’s gun violence, there’s sex … Everything you could want, it’s better than television,” said Rebecca Faiola, who plays Hank Williams’ mother Mama Lilly. Faoila said the production was close to her heart because her father was a farmer. “It’s a way to get a message across. There’s a lot of pain in the show, so my role as Mama Lily is kind of the comic relief,” said Faiola. “She’s that mother that we would all like to have that directs us and loves us so much and would fight for us.” The on-stage band, who also play members of Williams’ band, The Lonesome Cowboys, perform songs like “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” as well as “Move It on Over.” The production touches on some of the low points in Williams’ life as well: dependency on drugs and alcohol are believed
to be a major factor in his death caused by heart failure at age 29. “It makes it a special challenge and especially interesting, because of course you need to find that wonderful combination, the actor and musician,” said Susan Evans, artistic director at Douglas Morrison Theatre. “[The band is] the real deal. You do tend to have a little more intimacy when you have a band on stage.” Casting the play was not always easy, Evans said. They wanted performers who had experience with bluegrass, country and the hillbilly style. Faiola was drawn to this role because of her roots in southern music and culture. Originally from McKinney, Texas, she performed locally there as a child before relocating to the Bay Area. Fiaola is also a member of Bay Area jazz group “Jet Black.” Band members were cast from all over the Bay Area, and getting a brand new band together to create the chemistry needed for a successful show was uniquely challenging, Evans said. Musical biographies are becoming more popular, Evans explained. Productions have also been done on the lives of Johnny Cash and Billie Holiday. “I think that everyone should learn about this part of American history because Hank Williams’ music has affected so many lives and so much of our music,” Faiola said. DMT’s production of Hank Williams: Lost Highway will run for two weeks, opening Friday with a barbeque party. A Wednesday show has also been added for April 22. On Saturday, April 25, in between a double-header, the band will stay and answer questions from the audience after the matinee showing. Tickets are available for all nights on the DMT website and at the theater box office.

CONSEJERO DE FACULTAD Por Pavel Radostev Pushina EDITOR DE COPIA EN ESPAÑOL
El gluten es una proteína que se encuentra en el trigo, la cebada y el centeno. El especialista en dieta alcalina Gabriel Gaviña, explica que esta proteína dificulta el proceso de la digestión. En ocasiones, causando problemas en los órganos que se encargan de procesar la comida, tales como el intestino primo. Hace ya un tiempo que la tendencia de escoger menús que no contienen gluten está ahí fuera. Ya sea porque así lo deciden o porque tienen intolerancia al gluten o celiaquía, cada vez más gente se une a esta posibilidad. Los que hemos estado en estas condiciones durante un tiempo sabemos que hay una gran responsabilidad en un plato 100% sin gluten. Los ingredientes sin gluten son relativamente fáciles de obtener, lo que verdaderamente supone una dificultad es preparar dichos ingredientes en un espacio libre de gluten por el componente de contaminación cruzada. Muchos no comemos fuera de casa por esta razón, ya que demasiados restaurantes sirven comida sin gluten pero no la preparan de manera que no contenga nada de gluten. Es un proceso difícil ya que conlleva mucho razonamiento. Por ejemplo si se usa una sartén donde
previamente se preparó algo con gluten puede transferir las trazas del susodicho si no se limpia con atención. Para las personas que deciden comer sin gluten porque encuentran que es más saludable esto no supone ningún problema, pero para aquellos que son intolerantes o sufren de celiaquía hace la diferencia. Los restaurantes se están dando cuenta de esta diferencia, y cada vez más comprenden esta necesidad. La gente tiene cada día más opciones de comer en restaurantes que satisfacen este requisito. Algunos restaurantes de Hayward y sus alrededores ofrecen esta estupenda opción: 1) Wendy’s en 23969 Mission Blvd, Hayward, CA 94544 Mucha gente desconoce que las opciones sin gluten también son una posibilidad en restaurantes de comida rápida. Wendy’s es una excelente opción ya que presenta una gran variedad de platos sin gluten, incluyendo casi todas sus ensaladas y papas fritas. Desafortunadamente ningunos de sus sándwiches son sin gluten. Están muy bien documentados sobre el tema e incluso su página web ofrece una detallada descripción de todos los platos que contienen gluten y/o que puedan contener gluten debido a la contaminación
cruzada de alimentos. Nótese que la soja también es considerada de contener trazas de gluten debido a su proceso de cosecha. 2) Zest Bakery en 1224 Arroyo Ave San Carlos, CA 94070 Si manejar un poco con tal de disfrutar de buena comida no es un inconveniente para ti, Zest Bakery tiene increíbles opciones de panadería sin gluten. Este restaurante está especializado en comidas sin gluten, así que no hay contaminación cruzada y los alimentos son 100% sin gluten. Visítalo y prueba su pastel de queso sin gluten. 3) Jules Thin Crust Pizza en 5804 College Avenue, Oakland, CA 94618 Si lo que se te antoja es una buena pizza que no contenga nada de gluten este es el sitio que deberías de visitar. Este lugar comprende muy bien lo que es la contaminación cruzada. Las pizzas sin gluten son muy difíciles de encontrar por lo que viajar hasta Oakland para disfrutar de un trozo vale la pena. No importa donde estés, tienes la opción de buscar y encontrar restaurantes que sirven comida sin gluten cerca de ti con el uso de la página web: www.findmeglutenfree.com.

Primera Amenaza de Tiroteo en UECBE Por Kris Stewart EDITOR DE LA RED TRADUCCION POR PAVEL RADOSTEV PUSHINA Aproximadamente a las 6.45 pm del viernes, 10 de abril, los estudiantes, profesores y personal de la UECBE recibieron un “aviso a tiempo” a través de una variedad de alertas con respecto a la amenaza de un posible tiroteo en el campus el día siguiente, sábado, 11 de abril. Todo comenzó con una conversación que tuvo lugar en la pista de atletismo del campus, de acuerdo con Sheryl Boykins, Jefe de Policía de la Universidad. Boykins explicó que un estudiante estaba corriendo en el campus y escuchó una conversación entre un grupo de hombres que no conocía, ni podía reconocer. Uno de los estudiantes dijo algo acerca de haber obtenido un arma de fuego y traerla al campus el sábado. “Esa fue la
información de la que disponíamos en ese momento,” dijo Boykins. Después de oír a los estudiantes hablar de traer un arma al campus, el estudiante que escuchó la conversación la compartió con otro estudiante de la UECBE, el cual publicó la información en Facebook, dijo Boykins. Esto conllevó a llamadas de la comunidad universitaria, incluyendo a padres preocupados que leyeron el mensaje de Facebook. “Y una vez que la información estaba afuera antes de que pudiéramos controlarla, decidimos poner un aviso a tiempo a través del campus,” dijo Boykins. Jeff Bliss, Director Ejecutivo de Comunicaciones de la Universidad, dijo que esta es la primera vez que la universidad envía este tipo de alerta. La universidad envió correos electrónicos, llamadas telefónicas, mensajes de texto y de redes sociales que utilizan el sistema “Avísame,” un servicio de alerta y aviso para estudiantes, personal y profesores.
Después de las alertas, Bliss recibió docenas de correos electrónicos y llamadas telefónicas preguntando sobre la supuesta amenaza. Después de escuchar los detalles, los ciudadanos preocupados le preguntaron porqué la universidad enviaría una serie de alertas para lo que parecía una situación de amenaza mínima. “Fuera de un exceso de precaución. Todos conocemos las historias [de tiroteos en escuelas] que están ahí afuera. Es mejor prevenir que curar,” dijo Bliss. Continuó diciendo que quería dar a los estudiantes y la comunidad toda la información que tenían para que la gente pudiera tomar la mejor decisión y cuidarsen bien por su seguridad. Dependiendo de la naturaleza de la amenaza, la UECBE puede tener mayor presencia policial en el campus, siempre y cuando cuenten con los recursos necesarios. Bliss dice que la universidad mantuvo contacto con los oficiales locales y estatales durante toda la duración de la
amenaza: “Es parte de la preparación, así como del seguimiento”, dijo Bliss. Según Boykins, esta es la primera amenaza de tiroteo en la historia de la UECBE, aunque no lo pudo verificar con certeza. Debido al cambio en la atmosfera del campus a lo largo de los años en respecto a violencia con mano armada que está creciendo a través de toda la nación con el paso de los años, no querían correr ningún riesgo de que esto fuera una amenaza seria. “Cada vez que hay información de este tipo, ya no podemos permitirnos el lujo de darlo por sentado o no tomarlo en serio,” dijo Boykins. El Departamento de Policía de la Universidad esta en proceso de poner carteles en todos los edificios del campus explicando que hay qué hacer en caso de una emergencia, así como presentar un entrenamiento de tiroteo por todo el campus en cada edificio para educar a los estudiantes del protocolo a seguir en caso de un tiroteo en la escue-
la. “Lo estamos haciendo en pequeños grupos. Creo que así es más eficaz,” dijo Boykins. “Cada edificio tiene sus propias y únicas respuestas de emergencia y rutas de escape.” Después de la primera notificación, los estudiantes empezaron a publicar en las redes sociales sobre la amenaza. Una miembro de Sigma Sigma Sigma de la UECBE publicó en un grupo de Facebook que la amenaza era hacía la Gala de Vestido Rojo, el tercer evento anual de las Alpha Phi, el sábado por la tarde. El evento se canceló debido a la presunta amenaza. “Me duele en el corazón que esto tuvo que pasar, pero es por nuestro bien,” dijo una miembro de Alpha Phi. En el futuro, Boykins advierte a los estudiantes que deberían pensar antes de publicar en las redes sociales por los consequencias que pueden pasar. “Cuando ellos [los estudiantes] publican en las redes sociales, deben de ser conscientes de las consecuencias de sus publicaciones,” dijo Boykins.

Oakland one of the best startup cities in America By Shannon Stroud METRO EDITOR
Based primarily on its availability of space and a thriving local creative industry, Popular Mechanics ranked Oakland third this year on a list of best cities in America for creating a startup business — beating out every other city in California. “No disrespect to San Francisco or Brooklyn, but we wanted to identify the next wave of cities building an ecosystem to turn innovators into entrepreneurs,” wrote the editors of Popular Mechanics. So why is Oakland ranked so highly on the list? The Popular Mechanics article attributes it to Oakland’s growing makerspace movement. Makerspaces are large industrial spaces where makers – or creative people, artists, painters, designers, glass blowers, metal and steel works – rent communal spaces so that they can produce art, products, and gadgets to sell or show in art galleries and festivals. According to Popular Mechanics, makerspaces like American Steel, The Crucible, 25th Street Collective and Nimby are just a few of the spaces that have helped make Oakland the makerspace destination of the East Bay. “[Oakland] is a port city and the trains run through here, so it’s always been a manufacturing community. People have always been building and creating here,” said Margot Ledere Prado, senior economic development specialist for the City of Oakland. “There’s still that manufacturing community, but now there’s more skilled craftsmen and
ILLUSTRATION BY BRITTANY ENGLAND/THE PIONEER
tradesmen in the community.” Prado attributes growth of makerspaces in Oakland to a few things, the first being that Oakland has always been a manufacturing city. She explained that manufacturers in Oakland have always been working with their hands, and with the maker movement it transitioned to artists doing sim-
ilar hands on work. Prado explained that artists and makers are also attracted to Oakland because over the years the city has remained affordable in comparison to other cities throughout the bay. According to real estate agency CityFeet, industrial space in San Francisco with 3,100 square feet is approximately $12,000 a
month, whereas the same square footage a space in Oakland will cost renters around $6,500 a month. If individual makers are not interested in renting their own spaces, makerspaces like 25th Street Collective in Oakland offer cheaper opportunities. Owner Hiroko Kurihara rents out spaces at her collective for $700 a month.
As makerspaces are on the rise in Oakland and have become a viable option for the starving artist, makers have gained more direct support from the City of Oakland. “The City of Oakland granted the 25C [25th Street Collective] with $10,000 in redevelopment funds for handmade shelving units on wheels to define the individual spaces and some funds for signage and to improve our facade,” said Kurihara. Besides helping individual makerspaces the City of Oakland also helped launch the organization Oakland Makers in 2013, by providing the non-profit with $25,000 to get started. According to Oakland Makers, the organization is partnered with the city and supports the Industrial Arts Community and helps increase the visibility of local manufacturing innovators. “There is a wellspring of creative, artisans and makers here in Oakland, from gutsy to high-tech. As the manufacturing sector continued to grow, we realized that we needed to create an organization that could support the creative economy here at every level, from education to expansion,” explained Kurihara, who is also one of the founders of Oakland Makers. Oakland Makers will launch its “Made in Oakland” campaign later this year to help the makerspaces become more profitable in Oakland. The campaign will feature a label which makers in Oakland can attach to all of the items they create. Prado explains that the label will hopefully encourage customers to purchase more locally made items.

corded her second win of the season after she gave up just three hits and one earned run in over four innings of work. “I have been battling a shoulder injury all season so it is hard for me to throw for long periods of time. I have been struggling this season because of that, not only physically but mentally,” Perlich said. “I just tried to keep things simple on Saturday. I was trying to take everything one pitch at a time and to listen to my body. My shoulder does a good job at telling me when it’s had enough, so after the fourth inning, I told Coach Pierce that it was almost at it’s end for the day.” The Pioneers will host conference foe UC San Diego (22-20 overall, 12-16 conference) this weekend at Pioneer Softball Field on the Hayward campus.
Recruiting From Page 1 proved by the Board of Trustees every year, according to the CSUEB Budget Services website. In 2012, the Elias Sports Bureau conducted a survey of over 3,000 former Division I college athletes, and over 90 percent of the athletes said that, “receiving a full scholarship was the primary factor in their final college choice.” Not being able to offer full scholarships to athletes is a major factor in why CSUEB and similar schools have trouble landing top-level talent. Women’s volleyball Head Coach Jim Spagle has been at the helm of the Pioneers’ squad for 19 seasons now and is very familiar with the ups and downs of recruiting at Divi-

sion II Cal State East Bay. “I would say at least half of every volleyball roster in the CCAA [conference] is comprised of athletes who have had NCAA Division I offers,” Spagle said. “If we are not recruiting athletes who are also being recruited by Division I schools, we are not recruiting athletes who will be successful at our level of play.” Many of the CSUEB coaches acknowledged that despite their Division II status, they still target top-level talent when recruiting. CSUEB second-year men’s basketball Head Coach Gus Argenal is familiar with recruiting athletes to Division II and III schools after coming here from Chico State. “We go after a lot of players that are getting recruited by Division I schools because those are the level of players that we need to be successful in the
CCAA,” Argenal said. “You never want to waste time by recruiting someone that has their sights set on something different. After a while, recruits realize what level they are because those are the schools that have continued to recruit them throughout the entire process which can last years in some cases.” Senior point guard from the CSUEB men’s basketball team Jacari Whitfield knew of Argenal and his recruiting style. Argenal was a coach at Chico State during Whitfield’s stellar career at Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School in Alameda. However, Whitfield eventually chose CSUEB over Chico State and several other schools that were recruiting the standout guard. “My recruiting experience was definitely different than most,” Whitfield said. “I wanted to stay close to home and family so that had a lot to do with my choice. But coach [Argenal] was really cool and he definitely got my attention with his vision and specific plans for me.”
According to Murdock, prospective student-athletes are allowed as many unofficial visits to a school as they would like but are limited to just one official visit to any school. Visits can’t take place before the summer prior to their junior year in high school. The school pays for official visits, but the players are responsible for their own expenses on unofficial visits. These visits are often organized by the school, have a structured itinerary for the prospective student-athlete, and often have a group of prospective student-athletes on one official visit. Coaches are also allowed to contact players through phone, email, and text as much as they want beginning in the summer before their junior year of high school. Social media contact is also acceptable according to the NCAA compliance guidelines. “The biggest change in recruiting over the past five to six years is the Internet,” Spagle said. Social media websites and applications like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and Instagram have also become major factors in recruiting since their incep-
tion in the mid to late 2000s. Many prospective athletes have credited the social media sites with the primary reason that they signed a letter of intent to attend a school on a full athletic scholarship according to ESPN. In 2014 University of Kentucky men’s basketball Head Coach John Calipari credited social media for a small part of his consistent recruiting success. Kentucky has had the number one ranked recruiting class the last two years in a row, according to ESPN. “Some kids get overwhelmed with the sheer number of contacts they receive, but one thing is clear. No matter how overwhelmed a kid is, they still check their social media so I like to maintain a presence there as well,” Calipari said in an interview with ESPN last month. CSUEB junior pitcher on the women’s softball team Emily Perlich said social media did not play a part in her recruiting process. “[Coach Barbara Pierce] never used social media to contact me. Personally, not many coaches do from my experience. Social media is unprofessional in my opinion,” Perlich said.

Pioneer of the Week: Ali Cerminara By Louis LaVenture
SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR Cal State East Bay sophomore catcher Ali Cerminara is the Pioneer of the Week. Cerminara was instrumental in the 2 - 2 home stand over the weekend when the Pioneers hosted the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros. Cerminara helped CSUEB break even in the home series as they won both games on Saturday to bounce back from two losses on Friday at Pioneer Softball Field. The five-foot-six-inch sophomore from Phoenix was vital not just behind the plate on defense but at the plate as a batter as well. Cerminara managed just one hit on Friday but exploded offensively on Saturday and recorded five hits that included two home runs, a triple, and a double. She finished the day a perfect five-for-five at the plate and drove in a total of four runs in the two victories over the weekend. “I was hitting the ball hard Friday but it wasn’t finding any holes,” Cerminara said. “Saturday I kept my confidence in my swing up and was more successful. For both aspects I try to keep calm and not think too much. I just try to trust my ability to perform my best.” The offensive outburst was no surprise as Cerminara has been stellar at the plate all season. She has team-highs in batting average, .397, RBIs, 36, and doubles with 12. Cerminara has also been great behind the plate for the Pioneers
and amassed a .986 fielding percentage committing just two errors all season. “She’s a big hitter for us in our lineup and always comes through when we need her to,” CSUEB senior pitcher Emily Perlich said. “She has a big bat but I don’t think she gets enough credit for what she does behind the plate for us. She’s a wall and keeps runners on base paying attention because they know she has a great arm too.” With just two other catchers on the CSUEB roster, Cerminara has dominated playing time behind the plate and appeared in 41 of the teams 43 games this season. Her attitude has been a major factor in her team’s success, according to her battery mate Perlich. “She’s great all around and is always making a joke about something,” Perlich said. “She keeps the atmosphere light, and as a pitcher, it helps to feel that in stressful situations.” CSUEB senior utility player Kelsey LaVaute also took notice of the sophomore’s strong play in just Cerminara’s second season as a Pioneer. “[Cerminara] doesn’t only hit people in but starts rallies by getting on base and getting the team going,” LaVaute said. “She keeps people off the bases by throwing them out consistently and always works hard behind the plate by blocking everything. As a teammate she likes to joke around with everyone. She gets along with everyone on the team and is able to be a leader when we need her from the catching position.”

CSUDH improved to 21-21 overall and 14-14 in CCAA conference play after they defeated the Pioneers 2-0 and 6-1 on Friday before they lost by finals of 12-4 and 5-1 on Saturday. CSUEB junior Gabby Gonzalez and sophomore catcher Ali Cerminara were huge in the home series for the Pioneers and accounted for 12 of their team’s 18 runs. Junior Jamie Duran and freshman Alyssa Valinches delivered dominant pitching performances for the Toros in their two victories on Friday. Duran pitched a complete game shutout and gave up just three hits in the 2-0 triumph, her tenth of the season. Valinches gave up just one run and five hits to the Pioneers in a complete game effort and earned her tenth victory of the season. “We came out on day two with a fire,” CSUEB senior Kelsey LaVaute said. “We were ready for the opponent and wanted to dictate the pace of the game and the outcome of the game. We started having more fun and the outcomes and the results that we wanted came.” CSUDH sophomore Madison Murphy blasted two home runs on Friday that drove in four runs
and finished with four hits in eight plate appearances. CSUEB junior pitchers Sierra Clark and Tatiana Beilstein both picked up losses on the mound for the Pioneers on the day. “After Friday’s games we talked as a team and reevaluated our team morale,” Cerminara said. “Saturday we were playing for each other and really focused on having fun again.” CSUEB came back with a vengeance on Saturday and dominated the Toros, outscoring them 17-5 in the two Pioneer victories. Cerminara laced a triple down the right field line in the first inning and blasted a home run to left field in the third inning. Gonzalez was three-for-four at the dish for CSUEB and also roped a homerun to left field in the fourth inning. The Pioneers exploded for 15 hits in the 12-4 game three triumph over the Cal State Dominguez Hills. Clark went the distance on the mound for CSUEB and picked up her eleventh win of the season, after she gave up just four hits and two earned runs in five innings on the hill. Duran

The last game of the series was a lot closer, but a three-for-three performance at the plate for Cerminara helped secure a 5-1 triumph for the Pioneers.

Cerminara also roped a homerun to left-center field in the bottom of the third inning that made the score 3-1 in favor of CSUEB.
