CSUEB names new Director of Athletics By Louis LaVenture Sports Editor

alifornia State University, East Bay named Joan McDermott the new Director of Athletics last month, following the departure of Sara Lillevand Judd earlier in 2014. McDermott was one of 74 applicants that applied for the position following Judd’s acceptance of the Director of Recreation position for the city of Piedmont. “I am from the Bay Area [San Francisco], so it is safe to say that I have always been interested in Cal State East Bay,” McDermott said. “The main reason I am coming to East Bay is because division II athletic director jobs don’t open up much and this is a great opportunity to do what I love in the area that I am from.” McDermott has held the same position at Metropolitan State University of Denver since 1998 where she was the Director of Athletics for 17 years, and recognized and awarded for her work many times. “I was excited about the opening at East Bay and I felt like I wanted to get my name in there for consideration,” McDermott said. “I wasn’t sure once I got there [East Bay], but being around the administration and meeting some of the staff and coaches really got me excited.” Associate vice president of Student Support and Development, Andrea Wilson headed and selected the search committee that included Paul Carpenter, the Chair in the Department of Kinesiology, Marissa Parry Clavin an Associate Athletics Director in Internal Operations, Lisa Cooper the

Hayward garbage rates increase By Louis LaVenture Sports Editor

he city of Hayward garbage rates will increase as much as 10 percent by March 1. The previous seven-year agreement between the city and Waste Management expired on May 31, 2014. The first rate increase on March 1 cannot exceed 10 percent of the total rate from the previous agreement. Residents previously paid $27.29 for a standard 32-gallon trash, recycling, and yard waste bin for weekly pickup, but the rate will now increase in the new agreement to $30.02. “After the franchise agreements expired an extension was granted for one year in order for both sides to negotiate a new agreement,” Frank Holland, Community and Media Relations Officer for the city of Hayward said. According to the city of Hayward in a letter to property owners and ratepayers, “The new franchise agreement includes new services and establishes the rate setting procedures for the seven years of the franchise agreement and for three optional additional years. The recommended agreement includes revised rates that, if approved, will be reflected in the billing statement begin-

ning March 1, 2015.” Additional bulk item collection days and improved bin are some of the new services added by waste management. The proposed deal will have a threeyear option following the seven-year initial agreement. The rates would increase annually, three percent in the first year; three percent in the second year and then up cannot exceed a 10

percent increase in the third year of the new franchise agreement. The final four years of the new deal would have an annual increase with a minimum of three percent and a maximum of six percent. “Generally, cities negotiate contracts with a hauling service provider or the city has its own waste service department (see Berkeley),” Joe Camero, Senior Communications Specialist for Waste Management said. “Rates vary based on services requested including public education, bulky service, compost giveaways, diversion requirements, etc.” Despite the increase in rates Hayward residents still pay far less than several other Bay Area cities. In the city of Piedmont the same service is $51.88 monthly while in neighboring Castro Valley the current rate is $36.92 per month. The average monthly fee for a weekly resident pickup in the East Bay is $28.62. “What the hell else am I going to do? Save up my trash in the back and do a dumps run every so often?” Hayward resident Bruce Carchetti said. “I don’t think so. I’ll pay the few extra dollars and keep my yard maggot free, I just hope these increases don’t get carried away or I’ll have to invest in an incinerator.”

he media constantly covers stories about domestic violence because it’s an issue that won’t go away. Headlines like “Man arrested for Domestic Abuse”, “Woman attacks spouse”, “Parents in custody for harming child” and so forth has been smeared across headlines. Our media is constantly covering stories about domestic violence because it’s an issue that won’t go away. Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments is an organization that battles the violence that is prevalent in so many lives. The organization advocates for men, women, and children who have been affected by domestic violence since 1976. On Tuesday, Jan. 13 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. SAVE is hosting the second annual “Cop’s for COPS” event at Washington Hospital, honoring five law enforcement officers from Fremont, Hayward and San Leandro. “COPS [Community Oriented Preventation Services] is one of the programs we have where SAVE advocates are placed at local police stations,” said Assistant Director of SAVE’s community outreach, Tina Fernandez. “The advocates work closely with officers to help individuals who have been affected domestic violence.”

Scott transcended sports with words ball to tennis. Scott took songs from the greats like Slick Rick and Snoop Dogg while delivering Sacramento Kings highlights in the early 2000’s,

By Louis LaVenture Sports Editor

“Vlade, Doddy, he likes to party, he don’t cause trouble, he don’t hurt nobody.” Initially his style was viewed as offensive, degrading, and even

ongtime ESPN personality, Stuart Scott died on Saturday following a third bout with cancer, when he was just 49. However, Scott was much more than just a talking head on the all sports everything network, he was one of the men who helped define the station’s signature show ‘SportsCenter’, helping make it a worldwide success. Scott broke down the color lines with a battering ram and became the first African-American to be prominently featured as an anchor on the daily live sports highlights show. He hosted and anchored several shows and specials including the Emmy award winning Monday Night Football coverage along with NFL greats like Steve Young and Ray Lewis. He was the first person to use terms “Booyah” and “As cool as the other side of the pillow” in sports highlights incorporating a sense of hip-hop and urban culture that had never been done before. Coming from an urban inner city environment, it is rare that you can see people on television you can relate to or identify with, especially in the sports world. Most of the people of color on the station were former players so it was refreshing to see somebody representing a part of the population that is largely forgotten in on air media. Scott would routinely take lines from the most popular rap and hip-hop songs utilizing them in highlights while describing sports from basket-

corny, but as Scott developed his style, he became an icon transcending his sports anchor role into that of a superstar celebrity. Scott even managed to incorporate terms like “You see, what had happened was,” an urban term that means something happening that wasn’t supposed to happen. In addition to the hundreds of athletes showing their condolences for Scott’s passing, even the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, released a statement. “I will miss Stuart Scott. Twenty years ago, Stu helped usher in a new way to talk about our favorite teams and the day’s best plays. For much of those twenty years, public service and campaigns have kept me from my family – but wherever I went, I could flip on the TV and Stu and his colleagues on SportsCenter were there. Over the years, he entertained us, and in the end, he inspired us – with courage and love.” Scott received the Jim Valvano Perseverance award at the 2014 ESPY awards where he told the audience, “When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.” Scott transcended sports, he created a new way to deliver highlights and news that was mocked and then became the standard that we know today. However, his distinct connection to urban culture and the use of its references in his words ushered in a brand new way to discuss all of the daily events around the world. Scott truly was as cool as the other side of the pillow.

Campus 3 8 things you should not waste money on By Bryan Cordova Managing and Spanish Editor

7. Microsoft Office: The office suite sells for a yearly subscription of $80 or $7.99 a month, but the Google drive is free and is compatible with Microsoft’s service. Also CSUEB now offers students the

full suite with their horizon emails; so don’t waste your money. 8. Cable TV: TV shows, movies, and news can all be viewed online for free or for a much lower price

ith the start of the quarter being just after the holidays, some students find themselves strapped for cash, yet anxious to shop. The temptation of spending is easy to give into, but some things should just be avoided no matter how good the deal is. Here are some things students should save their money on this quarter. 1. Scantrons: Scantrons cost about $1.79 per pack or 15 cents each. There is really no need to buy scantrons when ASI gives them out for free on the second floor of the New Union. 2. A Printer: As convenient as a printer may seem for home printing, the cost of ink and paper, and some of the frustrations that last minute technical problems that seem to happen at home should be avoided. Printing in the library is ten cents per black and white page, and 50 cents per color page. Now that most assignments are submitted online via Blackboard or turnitin.com, you can avoid the hassle all together. 3. A High End Laptop: The most common use of a laptop in college is for writing papers, streaming videos and using Wikipedia. Any strong program like Visual Studio or Adobe Master Programs are available at the library computers along with the many computer labs on campus. Buying an expensive computer isn’t needed for simply using Microsoft Office, and Blackboard. Library also issues loaner laptops at the reference desk on the second floor. 4. An External Hard Drive: As tempting as some of the deals are, 1TB for $40, the convenient and free Google Drive and Dropbox with almost 20GB of free storage are always available and have little to no records of lost files. Also CSUEB now offers 1TB of storage with Microsoft Cloud. 5. Textbooks: With new book prices in the hundreds, rentals come at just under and average of $60 on Chegg.com, and some professors tell their students to get previous editions or don’t require books at all. Sluggbooks.com is another great place to find the best rental book deals on the Internet for a cheaper price. 6. Anti-Virus: Some anti viruses come as trials for new laptops and require users to purchase the full version after a few weeks. There is no point in spending so much money on the programs, when there are great free anti viruses such as AVG for Windows and Sophos for Macs.

CSUEB Art Gallery to Host Annual BFA Exhibit By Beatriz Alvarez Contributor

alifornia State University, East Bay’s Art Gallery starts off the New Year with an exhibit set to open next week. The theme of the exhibit is the Annual Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition. The exhibition occurs annually and originated with the former gallery Director Lanier Graham in 2004. “It is intended to showcase the newest and best work by students in the BFA program,” said Art Gallery Curator, Phillip Ringler. Ringler is alumni of East Bay and graduated with a BFA. He started out as a student assistant during his undergrad working in the art gallery and has been with the department for over 14 years. His previous experience included photography for San Diego State’s Daily Aztec, and also holds a MFA from John F. Kennedy University. “The Bachelor of Fine Arts program is for students with a strong art practice who plan to attend graduate school for Fine Art,” said Ringler. “Students in this program are required to take more units as well as meet several times with a panel of instructors and lecturers for a more involved critique of their work.” Students featured in this event are Evelin Saavedra, Justin Pastores, Carolina Gainey-Vejar, Jun Oregana, Jon Bischofberger, Charles Williams, Jessica Brooke, and Melanie Williams. Students decide on the work they want to display. It’s up to the Art Gallery Curator and Staff to design and install the exhibition. The opening reception for the exhibition is Tuesday, Jan. 13 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and it will run starting on Jan. 13 to Feb. 5, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Improv club earns their name in Fremont By Shannon Stroud Metro Editor

hen thinking of Fremont, many associate it with Mission Peak, Historic Niles, Lake Elizabeth and the Saddle Rack. With almost four years in the business, Made Up Theatre, can be added to that list. Made Up Theatre, or MUT, is the only improv show in Fremont. The show features five comics every Saturday night at 8 p.m. MUT alternates between two different types of shows, 5 Play and Laugh Track City. “The main difference between the two shows is Laugh Track City is short form improv and 5 Play is long form improv,” says co-founder Sean Taylor. “Laugh Track City is similar to the TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” where we play short improv games that have a unique twist to them.” MUT started under the original name 5 Play with a core team of five guys, Taylor along with Ben Stephens, Bobby August, Dustin Seidler and Steve Seidler. The group met at Comedysportz, their primary outlet for improv. As a group, they decided to break away from Comedysportz and started doing their own shows. They practiced in living rooms and found various venues to perform at once a month. In 2010, the group finally found a home to call their own on Seldon Court in Fremont. “There [was] nothing to do in Fremont. When we started, we didn’t even have a movie theater here, so if you wanted to do something on a Saturday night, you would have to venture to other cities like San Jose or San Francisco for entertainment. Our goal was to create a new experience for the people of Fremont and give them a unique way to spend their evening,” said Taylor. MUT, which now consists of Taylor, Stephens, August, Dustin Seidler and former student Karin Plow, also offers improv classes to a diverse group of students. Taylor says

that improv attracts a variety of people because it offers multiple benefits like meeting new friends, overcoming shyness, improving public speaking, and becoming more spontaneous. “When we first opened Made Up Theatre, we started classes almost immediately. One of the ways to become a better improviser is not by just performing or taking classes but also by teaching. When you teach, you learn. You get to see the tactics that you’ve learned put

to practice but from an outside perspective,” said Taylor. Among teaching and preforming weekly, MUT still makes their way to different venues around the Bay Area. The have preformed at the San Francisco Improv Festivals for the last five years. In 2013, they won Best Improv Group at the Sacramento Comedy Festival. In February, MUT will be adding an additional show time to their weekend schedules. On Sundays at 6:30 p.m. they will be showcas-

ing new groups comprised of veteran students, after that they will be hosting their show called The Playground. “[The Playgorund is] where anybody can just come out and play improv games and do improv scenes. We get a huge turn out for this, and the people who come range from no experience at all to more advanced improvisers, but everybody is incredibly supportive and helps each other out,” said Taylor.

High-Speed Rail system breaks ground By Louis LaVenture Sports Editor

he California High-Speed Rail Authority held a groundbreaking ceremony in Fresno on Tuesday for the first highspeed rail system in the country. California Governor Jerry Brown led the ceremony for the project originally conceived in his first term in the early 1980’s. CHRA set 2029 as the completion date for the upcoming “bullet train.” California voters approved the initial funding of the project in 2008 and allocated nearly $10 billion in bonds to start phase one of the rail construction that will run from San Francisco to Los Angeles in three hours. Local railroad systems along the proposed route will serve as “feeders” for the high-speed system. Voters also approved $950 million to improve the current local systems. Grants and fees implemented by President Barack Obama following the initial approval of funds could potentially lead to $1 billion every year for the project. According to the CHRA, “As of 2014 the project’s estimated year of expenditure cost is $68.4 billion.” The CHRA faced several environmental issues along the proposed route and did not acquire all of the land ahead of time, which stifled funding. There is still over $50 billion in unsecured funds for the project during groundbreaking time. “We don’t have the money yet but we will,” Gov. Brown said. “That’s why I am here, to fast track this and turn that corner.” CHRA chairman Dan Richard is well aware of the financial and legal issues surrounding the project but feels, “advertising and real estate development rights along the route could lead to additional funding for the project.” In 2012, due to the acquiring the necessary

CHRA is hopeful that private investors and additional funding will come once a working piece of the rail is fully functional.

Child care awaits funds and site Pamela Geary, Staff Writer Wednesday, July 1, 1987

tudents voted last spring to adopt a fee increase to pay for an on-campus child care center, but it will be several years before enough money is accumulated to begin construction. The $1.50 increase in student fees is due to go into effect in September, and could raise over $18,00 in the fall quarter. Enrollment for the fall is projected at 12,497, said Director of Institutional Studies, Leone Nidiffer. “Now that we have the fee increase, it’s all about the little stops to get it implemented,” Associated Student President Deborah Evans said. One of these steps is finding a permanent site. A vacant lot alongside the Arts and Education building is being considered, as is an area by the baseball field parking lot, Evans said. In December the Cal State child care task force recommend the site by A and E despite its location on part of the Hayward fault. Evans said the new AS administration, which is “definitely behind” getting an on-campus child care facility, will work toward achieving that goal. “There are a few students who feel the student body shouldn’t support someone else’s children, but overall there has been little opposition. “The election showed that students are concerned about the issue, and would like to see child care on campus,” Evans said. An on-campus survey last spring report-

ed that 17 percent of the student body has children under the age of 12, Nidiffer said. Also based on the survey, there are 138 to 226 students who said they would like to use an on-campus facility for child care, she said. The current child care facility, located 10 minutes from campus on Patrick Avenue, can accommodate 47 children. Harper said she hopes the new on-campus facility will be able to take care of 100 children, with expansion capabilities. Evans said it may be five to six years before construction can begin. Until that time the money will be set aside in a spec i a l fund.

CSUEB struggled to support parent-students By Andrea Dupree Copy Editor

oughly nine years after the above article was written CSUEB’s Early Childhood Education Center was constructed. According to an article written about the center in 2005, the center was providing low-cost child care to approximately 72 children and their families. Due to low enrollment and excessive costs the ECEC was forced to close its doors in 2011. Prior to the closure of the center ASI tried to keep the center open by proposing a fee increase of $28 per quarter spread over four years. That never happened and it was decided that the center was burning a hole in the pockets of the university.

As a student-parent myself, I understand the struggle to find adequate and affordable care that is on-campus or even in close proximity to school. Oftentimes my child was the one sitting quietly in the back of the classroom with crayons and scratch paper. Articles in CSUEB’s online archives written in 2005 and 2011 outline the center’s struggle to remain open. Not only was this a huge loss for student-parents, but for Early Childhood Development students as well. The center was also an opportunity for those students to earn their service hours. In the 2011 article written Aug. 18, it was mentioned by ASI Executive Director at the time Randy Saffold that, “In the end, everyone was losing money.” Saffold admitted that unfortunately there just wasn’t enough financial support and funding for the center. In the two years prior to the center’s closure Safford reported $300,00 had been lost due to a contract with Child Family Community Services that required payment from ASI for empty enrollment slots and high admission costs. Money talks and the roughly $39 million new five-story, 67,000 square foot Warren Hall replacement is going where the Early Childhood Education Center once stood. Unfortunately the center couldn’t be saved. But alas, who needs a safe and secure place on-campus for their children to be nurtured while they earn the higher education they need to improve their lives and the lives of their children? Not CSUEB students.

Athletic Director From Page 1 Head Coach of the women’s water polo team, Alan Sue the Head Coach of the men’s and women’s golf teams, and Trey James a Student Athlete on the men’s soccer team. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics awarded McDermott the Under Armour NCAA Division II Athletics Director of the Year in June 2014 for the second time in her career. McDermott received this award in 2008 and it is based on the overall progress of the athletics program during a calendar year including factors like the success of the teams, graduation rates, and revenue.

Professor Emeritus of Kinesiology, Don Sawyer took over the position on an interim basis at CSUEB following the departure of Lillevand Judd and will maintain that role until McDermott officially begins on April 1. “We are extremely grateful to Dr. Don Sawyer for his leadership and service as our Interim Director of Athletics,” Stan Hébert, Acting Vice President for Student Affairs said. McDermott was recently named President of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators and also serves on the Denver Sports Commission board of directors and the NCAA Division II softball committee. The Denver Post named her as one of the top 15 most influential women in Colorado sports.

McDermott held a distinct advantage not just in experience but also with accolades over the other two finalists Stephanie Shrieve-Hawkins and Douglas Hupke. Shrieve-Hawkins is the Assistant Director of Athletics at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga while Hupke is the Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving at San Francisco State University. “I think I can help the department grow because we have done that here [Metropolitan State],” McDermott said. “We have done a lot of community partnerships and even some sponsorship things with organizations like Major League Baseball and the Denver Parks and Recreations Department. It is great for the campus to get the community involved.”

Men’s basketball riding on four-game skid By Louis LaVenture Sports Editor

he road has been tough on the Cal State East Bay men’s basketball team this season. Twelve games into the season, the Pioneers are just 3-9 overall and 0-7 in contests on the road. The Pioneers have lost at least two consecutive games four different times this season, losing all of those games by a minimum of ten points. Their fourth consecutive road loss came on Saturday in Rohnert Park against Sonoma State who demolished CSUEB 71-51. A dismal of 23 percent shooting from the field for CSUEB allowed the Seawolves to build a huge lead, taking an 18-point advantage into the halftime break. “We have to continue to improve our shooting percentages through extra work, shot selection, transition play, and execution with pace,” CSUEB Head Coach Gus Argenal said. Senior guard Cody Kale scored eight of his nine total points in the first half but could not help overcome the scoring barrage by Sonoma State. Kale finished with nine points and five rebounds in 28 minutes on the floor for the Pioneers. Junior guard Jack Pasquini led the way statistically for CSUEB in the loss totaling 16 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. “I’m still finding my rhythm a little bit like

everybody else is on the team,” Kale said. “We have to stay aggressive regardless of what happens.” The 18 point first half lead was too much for CSUEB to overcome despite being outscored by just two points in the second half 35-33. Freshman forward, Patrick Marr scored 11 points in the losing effort and senior guard, Jacari Whitfield added in eight points and six assists. The loss dropped the Pioneers to 1-5 in California Collegiate Athletic Association play while Sonoma State improved to 8-2 overall and 5-1 in conference competition; good enough for first place in the division. CSUEB will have to rely on some home cooking to get their season back on the winning track with a two-game home stand scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Pioneer Gymnasium. At 7:30 p.m. on Friday the Pioneers will take on Cal State Dominguez Hills who are 4-8 overall and 0-6 in conference play. Cal State Los Angeles, 4-6 overall, 2-4 conference, will visit at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday in the second game of the home stand for the Pioneers. “This weekend will be a huge test for us and will be a chance for our team to compete on our home floor in front of our fans,” Argenal said. “Dominguez Hills and CSULA are extremely well-coached and tough teams that have distinct styles that we will have to prepare for.”

CSUEB women’s hoops win streak snapped By Louis LaVenture Sports Editor

onoma State managed to cool off the Cal State East Bay women’s basketball team on Saturday snapping the Pioneers’ five game winning streak. CSUEB is now 9-3 overall and 4-2 in California Collegiate Athletic Association play after the 68-66 loss at the hands of the Seawolves. Sonoma State is now 6-4 overall and 4-2 in the CCAA conference competition, currently riding a five game winning streak. The Pioneers shot just 36 percent from the field and a miniscule 16 percent from behind the three-point line in the first half. The Seawolves capitalized and made more than half of their shots in the first half taking a 33-26 lead into the break. “We didn’t take care of the little things all night long,” CSUEB Head Coach Suzy Barcomb said. CSUEB senior guard Stephanie Lopez and junior forward Tori Breshers lit up the scoreboard for the Pioneers in the second half combining for 31 points in 34 minutes on the court. Despite the offensive onslaught, Sonoma State managed to hold off the Pioneers securing the win at the free throw line late in the contest. Lopez finished with 18 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and three steals

while Breshers totaled a game-high 24 points and five steals in the losing effort. “Our communication on the backside end, we need to work on that and once we get that on the table we usually do better and focus more,” Breshers said. The poor shooting night poured over to the free throw line for the Pioneers where they missed two in the first half and ten in the second half. The combination of 14 missed points from the charity stripe and poor shooting contributed to the conference loss. “Unfortunately, our missed free throws cost us the game tonight,” Barcomb said. “We had plenty of opportunities to earn the win, but lack of focus hurt us in a big way tonight.” Lopez noticed the lack of focus Barcomb described during a victory earlier in the season over conference foe Cal State Monterey Bay. “There was just like no fire in the first half and it was a little bit upsetting, but we will work on it,” Lopez said. CSUEB will have to work on it quick with a two game home stand on the horizon Friday and Saturday at Pioneer Gymnasium in Hayward. Friday the Pioneers take on Cal State Dominguez Hills, 10-4 overall and 5-1 conference at 5:30 p.m. and on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. CSUEB faces CSULA at 3-7, and 2-4.
