The City of Hayward has proposed the launch of a new shuttle service that would connect people living, working, or going to school in Hayward to various neighborhoods and BART stations in Hayward. Hayward’s Department of Transportation is conducting a study to find out if a shuttle service is a feasible option for the city. The study will evaluate how many shuttle routes are needed, how many stops will be added, and how often the shuttle will run. “The west industrial area, west of 880, is the biggest employment area of Hayward,” said Steven Chang, transportation planner for the City of Hayward Public Works. “Historically there is very little transit to that area, there is maybe one AC Transit route hourly. Basically we have been hearing from employers over the last few years that there are not enough transit services for employees, especially ones that connect to BART.” Hayward was given a $350,000 Caltrans grant, and earlier this year Hayward City Council approved an 11.47 percent match to fund the study, according to the California Department of Transportation. The study is broken down into research of two different areas in Hayward, residential area and industrial. “We are looking at areas that are underserved by AC Transit. They’ve actually cut back some services in Hayward over they years we are just trying to fill in the gaps,” said Chang. To help conduct the study, a survey

has been sent home to Hayward residents and Hayward business owners to give to their employees. The survey will help the shuttle’s project team understand the needs of residents and business owners in regards to public transportation. The survey asks questions like what times residents would want
the shuttle to run, how often residents go into downtown Hayward and if a shuttle would help with parking difficulties. In late July, Hayward hosted an outreach event in the Industrial corridor, near Life Chiropractic College. The goal of

BART approves station art By Louis LaVenture SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR BART’s board of directors voted unanimously Aug. 13 in favor of a project dubbed “Art in Transit,” which will give artists the opportunity to decorate designated areas in stations in addition to some current decorated areas. The three stations mentioned in BART’s plans include 19th Street Oakland, Powell Street and El Cerrito del Norte, however more stations could potentially be added eventually. According to the project packet provided by BART these stations were chosen as the first in the project because of their access and high traffic and visibility. Officials have also earmarked $207,000 in next year’s budget for a new position tentatively titled “arts manager.” It’s not clear, however, precisely how BART will pay the bill: According to a long term operating and capital financial outlook report for 2015 through 2024, “Projected operating needs over the 10-year timeframe total $9.8 billion, with a projected $500 million shortfall.” BART has also said that approximately $4.8 billion of a $9.6 billion Capital Improvement Program — a projection of all BART’s capital needs — remains unfunded.

Douglas Morrisson Theatre opens new season Pulitzer prize winner discusses racial profiling By Ian James Vitaga CONTRIBUTOR The Douglas Morrisson Theatre kicks off a new season this month with “By The Way Meet Vera Stark,” a satire by award-winning playwright Lynn Nottage that portrays one woman’s hardships with racial profiling in the film in-

dustry during the 1930s told as a satire. “This season is about secrets and other things revealed,” Susan Evans, the theater’s artistic director, said. “Each one of the plays has an element brought to the surface.” The production fits with the theater’s theme for this season, which is “Revelations.” Love, secrets, mysteries, murders, social criticisms, music, and comedy will be a part of this season. The play, which opens Aug. 27, is about a fictional African-American film star living through racial stereotyping
in Hollywood during the 1930s. Theresa Harris, the inspiration for the main character, was a pioneer for African-American actors and played many roles: maids, Southern belles, blues singers, waitresses, tribal women, prostitutes, and hat check girls. In this play viewers will see how Vera Stark struggled in the industry. During the 1930s, African-American actors were not offered main roles. Some productions even had black people portrayed by white

It turns out the community of Hayward is pretty strong. In the wake of the shooting death of Kionta Murphy Jr. around 1 a.m. on Aug. 4 several local organizations stepped up to help the Murphy family and the community. After the Hayward Unified School District heard about the 17-year-old’s death, they began to plan a vigil for the teen on Aug. 7. However, before the district could start the process several students had already informed them that they organized their own vigil for Murphy on Aug. 4 and more than 400 students confirmed they would attend. Several members of the HUSD including Superintendent and CEO Stanley “Data” Dobbs and Communications Coordinator Sabrina Aranda attended the student led vigil and funeral services for the Mount Eden High School Alum. “We decided to show up and give our support to the family, the students and the community,” Aranda said. “It meant a lot to the students. Several of them were talking about how important it was to have the principal and superintendent there. The support meant a lot.” Aranda also said the school district worked with a photo company that takes school pictures to provide a free portrait to the family for the services. According to Aranda, in cases like these the school will make an announcement to all students and have an open forum to discuss what the students would like to do in regards to the tragedy. Since the incident took place while school was not in session, Mt. Eden would have to wait to proceed with the discussion between students and staff until classes resumed on Monday. At the time of publication school officials had not made the announcement to students. HUSD weren’t the only ones to lend a helping hand. Glad Tidings Church of God in Christ in South Hayward allowed the family to use their facilities to hold the services, which has a much larger capacity than the other facilities that were originally intended to be used, according to church representative Pam Sharp. “His family had some connections to our church,” Sharp said. The Youth and Family Services Bureau is a part of the Hayward Police Department, where police officers and professional counselors work together to provide several unique services to residents of Hayward. The YFSB provides family counseling, crisis intervention and school-based counseling program and YFSB Counseling Supervisor Lynnette Davis said while they do provide these services, she could not confirm what was offered in regards to the fatal shooting. It is unclear how or from whom HPD received the information or sketches from at the time of publication. Murphy was a Mount Eden High School graduate and had no criminal or gang ties, according to HPD. The former football and wrestling team member while at Mt. Eden planned to enlist in the United States Marine Corps, according to the Murphy family. Police are asking if anybody has information in regards to the case to contact HPD Detective Steve Riley at 510-293-7034.

Debate: Quarters or semesters Eighteen weeks is way too slow By Alex Boucher CONTRIBUTOR
Cal State East Bay is one of the few California State University schools that runs on a quarter system rather than a semester system, but unfortunately that is going to change in 2018. All but two University of California schools currently run on a quarter system and even though a majority of the CSU’s run on a semester system, I think it is good that not all of them do. I think CSUEB should stick with the quarter system. A quarter system gives students the opportunity to finish college quicker. I recognize that quarters can be difficult for many students, as getting through classes in a quicker span challenges them to finish assignments in a timely, fast-paced manner. Students want to learn material in their courses without feeling rushed and not having enough time to finish assignments. According to CSUEB President Leroy Morishita, a semester system allows students to receive more indepth projects and richer learning experiences. They also provide better alignment with other colleges and universities, and will enable students to “transfer course credits more easily and apply them towards degree completion.” CSUEB, Bakersfield, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Pomona, San Bernardino and Los Angeles currently run on a quarter system, but CSUEB and CSULA are both converting to semesters, CSULA as early as 2016. The other 17 CSU schools run on a semester system. According to a quarter to semester transition report published in 2012 by Professor Emeritus of Eastern Washington University, the number of universities that run on a quarter system have declined from around 25 percent in the 1980s to around 10 percent. It is good to have those few schools that are not synchronous with others: that is what makes them unique. CSUEB is unique because it runs on a quarter system. There is something about the universities we attend that we look back on and say that my alma mater is known for being. For me, CSUEB is a one-of-akind CSU because of the quarter system and how it has the fewest amount of programs that are impacted. When a
program is impacted, it means that it is tougher to gain admission into it and it could take longer for you to graduate because of budget cuts. Many of us deal with professors that are atrocious: 10 weeks with a bad teacher is better than 15. Many of us have had professors that don’t posses an approach that is welcoming for students to achieve academic success. They would rather focus more solely on their paychecks than helping us thrive and prosper as we prepare for our futures. I went to Diablo Valley College for three years prior to attending CSUEB and I can tell you that the quarter system here enables me to graduate faster than if I went to another CSU such as San Jose State or San Francisco State. I am able to take 12 units in a quarter four times during the year as opposed to taking those units during the semester twice a year. Forty-eight units in a year versus 24 win the battle. Not all of us want to be in school for a long period of time. I sure don’t because of my desire to start my career and a quarter system gives students the opportunity to graduate and obtain their degree quicker. Many of us have siblings that have been through college or are on the verge of attending college. I have a younger brother and older sister and there was a point in our lives where all of us were attending college at the same time. This was a big financial predicament for my parents and other families that have gone through similar situations. We also have jobs outside of school. Since I only have go to school twice a week while still being a full-time student, this enables me to work fulltime as well. If we receive our degrees faster, we can find a career and sustain incomes that enable us to pay off student loans that can remain in our lives for a long period of time. It is disappointing that CSUEB is conforming to other CSUs and I hope that students who will become part of the semester conversion while still being part of a quarter system do not struggle to adapt to it.
Ten weeks is not enough time By Alfonso Galindo CONTRIBUTOR
Fourteen pages to write a week, for 10 weeks, along with 150 pages of reading assigned each week for 10 weeks. That adds up to 140 pages of writing, maybe more, and 1500 pages of reading all in 10 weeks. Mom said college wasn’t going to be easy but she said it was going to be worth it. Say goodbye to weekends and a social life: welcome to the quarter system. Cal State University, East Bay currently operates on a four-quarter system divided into fall, winter, spring and summer. Each quarter lasts 10 weeks. However, the university will convert from a quarter system to a semester system in 2018. I will probably have graduated by then, but I think it’s the right choice because students in a semester system are allowed more time to study and connect with professors and classmates. A semester system is two 16-week sessions with an eight-week summer session. The longer time span of a semester enables students to receive a stronger education by giving them more time to comprehend and absorb the information. According to a report from Concordia University in Portland, 71.2 percent of colleges in the U.S. use the semester system and this is a good thing. The semester system allows students to go more in depth and go through the learning process at a slower pace, not just rush through it. Students have more time to study their readings and study for exams. With semesters, students only have two midterms and two finals for the whole year. On a quarter system, we can have up to 12 exams by the end of the full school year. On a semester system, students only have to complete 120 units, as opposed to 180 units in the quarter system. I attend CSUEB and I feel rushed
throughout the year, going to class and completing all my assignments on time while also having a midterm in five weeks, possibly another midterm two weeks later, then a final in two more weeks. The stress builds up, winter and spring break feel like a breath of fresh air. I chose to attend summer classes this year, so I only get a two-week break before fall quarter starts. The quarter system may work for those who are on their toes and do not procrastinate. Keep in mind that what is covered in a 16-week semester is covered in 10-week quarter. If a student misses just one class it can be detrimental to their grade. Also if a student does not understand one section they do not have the time to go over that material for a few weeks because next week the professor is going to move on with or without the student. The student has to attend office hours as soon as they do not understand the material. This is not the case with semesters. With the semester system a student has a chance to breathe and not stress right away when they do not understand the material early in the semester. They have time to ask fellow classmates and build relationships within the class. It is suggested that every student attends their professor’s office hours if needed but there are schedule conflicts where students cannot attend office hours. Also a student has more time to connect with their professor over the course of 16 weeks and get more comfortable with the class and the material rather than just flying by. If a student feels that 16 weeks is still too slow, then they can take optional eight-week summer courses. A majority of the nation is already using semester system. It is beneficial for universities and students so lets not fear a change and support it.

the event was to hear from employees and business owners about what they need from public transportation. At the event, a map of Hayward was printed out and attendees took pushpins, to mark where they would like routes added to the city. “[The event] was very positive. People told us that they have been wanting a shuttle services for two years, but haven’t been able get one and they are happy that the city is picking it up,” explained Chang. The city will also look at working with Cal State East Bay’s shuttle system and expanding it to other locations like Southland Mall. CSUEB and AC Transit both sit on the advisory committee for the study. There are no final details on what the shuttle will look like and the initial study will conclude in April 2016.

Nottage won the Pulitzer Prize in Drama for her 2009 play “Ruined” and has a decorated career with many other awards. She is the recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant Fellowship, Steinberg Mimi Distinguished Playwright Award, the Dramatists Guild Hull-Warriner Award, the inaugural Horton Foote Prize, and many others. Her plays have been produced all over the United States as well as internationally. On a website that she created for her fictional character, Vera Stark, Nottage brings the actress to life with an autobiography and a short documentary about Stark with interviews by director Peter Bogdanovic, cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh, and film professor Mia Max, with actual footage of the play. This play was done at the Second

According to Chang, once the first study concludes and it finds the shuttle system feasible a second study will be conducted to determine the exact specifics of the shuttle, after that is when they will break ground on implementing the system. “We actually don’t know who is operating the shuttle yet,” said Chang. “We are just trying to figure out if we can do it.”

plan to incorporate art into stations but at the Aug. 13 meeting he said he would give this project “soft support” but would not support any financial commitments to the project at this point. There was an original plan in place on how BART would fund the project but at the Aug. 13 meeting the directors decided to wait until the new arts manager could be hired so their input can be included in the decision making process. In 2012, BART changed the cloth material seats to new seats made of synthetic vinyl, which is much easier to clean, according to BART’s website. In 2013 they also began to include temporary art
pieces in some of their stations, most notably a big red ball at the Embarcadero station in San Francisco on April 9, 2013 “to provide some entertainment to commuters,” according to BART’s website. BART created a website for artists to submit artistic plans for the designated stations. Exhibits will be temporary, permanent and some will be included in the structure of the buildings. There are currently 52 pieces of art at stations, which were paid for by BART, cities and art programs, according to BART officials.

This is the first time this play will be done in northern California and under a new director. Dawn Monique Williams, an East Bay native and a Cal State Hayward alumna was asked to direct the play. She was a 2014 Theatre Communications Group Leadership awardee. “This play is relevant because it crosses through four different time periods across Hollywood filmmaking,” Williams said. “The Revelations” season opens on Aug. 27 with a preview to “By The Way Meet Vera Stark” and the first public showing is Aug. 28. There will be fifteen performances will be staged from Aug. 27 to Sept. 20, on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There is an extra performance on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. with a special post-play discussion. A pre-show talk will be held on Sept. 4 at 7:10 p.m. The preview is $10, the premiere is $32, and every performance after that is $29.

Hayward considera nueva sistema de tránsito Hayward está llevando a cabo un estudio para un nuevo sistema de transporte Por Vanessa Pineda CONTRIBUYENTE
Traducción por Pavel Radostev Pushina
La ciudad de Hayward ha propuesto el lanzamiento de un nuevo servicio de transporte que conectaría a las personas que viven, trabajan o van a la escuela en Hayward a varios vecindarios y estaciones de BART en Hayward. El departamento de transporte de Hayward está realizando un estudio para determinar si un servicio de transporte es una opción viable para la ciudad. El estudio evaluará cuantas rutas de autobuses se necesitan, cuantas paradas se añadirán, y con qué frecuencia funcionaría este servicio de transporte. “La zona industrial del oeste, en el oeste de la 880, es la mayor empleadora de Hayward,” dijo Steven Chang, planificador de transporte para la ciudad de Obras Públicas de Hayward. “Históricamente hay muy poco tránsito a está área, hay tal vez una ruta de Tránsito AC cada hora. Básicamente hemos estado oyendo
de empleadores en los últimos años que no hay suficientes servicios de tránsito para los empleados, especialmente los que se conectan con BART.” A Hayward se le dio una subvención Caltran de $350,000, y a principios de este año el Concejo de la ciudad de Hayward aprobó un partido de 11.47 por ciento para financiar el estudio, de acuerdo al departamento de transporte de Hayward. El estudio va vevir en la investigación de dos áreas diferentes en Hayward, la zona de residencial y la zona de industrial. “Estamos analizando las áreas que están desatendidas por Tránsito AC. Incluso han recortado algunos servicios en Hayward durante los años en los que estuvimos tratando de llenar vacíos,” dijo Chang. Para ayudar a realizar el estudio, una encuesta ha sido enviada a casa de los residentes y dueños de negocios de Hayward para dar a sus empleados. La encuesta ayudará al equipo del proyecto de éste transporte a entender las necesidades de los residentes y los dueños de negocios en lo que cada respecta al transporte público. La encuesta hace preguntas como durante que horas quieren los residentes que el servicio de transporte sea ejecutado, con qué frecuencia van los residentes
al centro de Hayward y si un servicio de transporte sería eficaz contra las dificultades de aparcamiento. A finales de el mez de julio, Hayward fue sede de un evento de divulgación en el corredor industrial, cerca del colegio de quiropráctica. El objetivo del evento fue escuchar a los empleados y dueños de negocios acerca de lo que necesitan en cuanto a transporte público. En el evento, un mapa de Hayward fue imprimido y los asistentes tomaron tachuelas, para marcar los lugares de la ciudad donde les gustaría añadir rutas. “[El evento] fue muy positivo. La gente nos informó que llevan esperando un servicio de transporte durante dos años, pero no han podido conseguir uno y están contentos de que la ciudad se esté desarrollando,” explicó Chang. La ciudad también considerará trabajar con el sistema de transporte de la Uni-
versidad Estatal de California en la Bahía del Este y ampliarlo a otros lugares como el centro comercial de Southland. La UECBE y el tránsito AC ambos se encuentran en el comité consultivo para el estudio. No hay detalles finales sobre como se verá el servicio de transporte y el estudio inicial concluirá en abril del 2016. De acuerdo a Chang, cuando el primer estudio concluya un segundo estudio se realizará para determinar los detalles exactos de éste transporte, después de
eso es cuando van a empezar la construcción de la implementación de éste sistema. “Realmente no conocemos quien operará el transporte todavía,” dijo Chang. “Tan solo estamos tratando de averiguar si lo podemos llevar a cabo.” Para participar en la encuesta en línea sobre el sistema de transporte, visite www.resident.haywardshuttlesurvey.com.

Varios ciudadanos que asistieron la reunión se quedaron rascándose la cabeza con respecto a la siguente propuesta de arte. “Es como ponerle una peluca a un cerdo,” dijo Erica Foster-Nunez, residente de Berkley. “¿Arte?

En su lugar, hubo un plan original sobre cómo BART financiaría el proyecto, pero durante la reunión del 13 de agosto los directores decidieron esperar hasta que el nuevo director de arte sea contratado para que su aporte pueda ser incluido en el proceso de toma de decisiones.

High school rivals battle in alumni football game By Louis LaVenture SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR
When I played football in high school I used to get really nervous before the games. More than 10 years later, as I padded up for the Tennyson High School versus Mount Eden High School alumni game on Sunday, I didn’t get those nervous feelings. Even as I walked across the field late to warm ups and got called out by a player from Mt. Eden who said, “I want you 78!” referring to my jersey number, I still wasn’t nervous. I didn’t get nervous until my third play in the game at offensive tackle when I fell down on a block attempt and rolled my left ankle, which is now the size of a baseball. For the rest of the game it was a challenge to push off the pain but I still managed to play most of the fourth quarter. It was just like high school, except older and more out of shape than I remembered it being. However, it was the togetherness that made the game fun. I got to play tackle football with my friends, fellow Lancers and even my first cousin, which is something I would have never had the chance to do before. It’s funny, but when you go into battle with somebody on the football field, in pads, full contact, it creates a sense of trust and unity that no other sport can replicate. For people like myself, born and raised in Hayward, this game meant more than just a score. It was about a bond created between people who are connected through a school and have to trust each other in order to not just perform well, but stay safe too. Let’s be honest here, most of the guys in this game haven’t played full contact football in pads since their high school days, most of which have an interesting story about the Monarch-Lancer rivalry they experienced. For those of you not from Hayward, the Tennyson Mt. Eden rivalry is a big deal. Most of the students attend ele-

mentary and middle schools together before school district lines come into play and separate kids into Tennyson Lancers and Mt. Eden Monarchs for high school. The first contest, sponsored by Alumni Football USA, was held on June 29, 2014 at Tennyson High School, where the Lancers prevailed 41-28. This set up the rematch between the two squads on Sunday which saw the Monarchs tie the series at 1-1 after pulling out a 20-18 victory over Tennyson. The cool thing about the alumni game is it combines players from all years and gives a stark contradiction between the ages. The Lancers boasted a 42-year-old who played on the line offensively and defensively in addition to winning the award for the oldest player in the game. Mt. Eden wasn’t to be outdone on the age spectrum of things and they too had some elder statesmen, one of which was 39-years-old. Despite being outnumbered drastically, Tennyson managed to keep the contest close and despite having three touchdowns called back, by referees who were treating it like an NFL game, still managed to have a chance to tie the contest on a failed two-point conversion with less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. The offensive Most Valuable Player for Tennyson was Joe Pangelina who reflected on his experience. “Pain is temporary,” Pangelina said. “Going out like Spartans is legendary.” It was a family affair for Pangelina, his youngest brother Stephan graduated a few years ago and played offensive line, defensive line and linebacker in the game. Another Pangelina brother, John, is a coach on the Tennyson football team and also coached defense in the alumni game for Tennyson. The game had it all, big hits, long scoring plays, good tackling and in the end nobody was seriously hurt. The rivalry will continue in game three of the rivalry next spring in 2016.
