Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee Foundation help students boost creativity and well-being

BY TERESA ACOSTA Staff Writer During the first in a series of three workshops organized by the Bruce Lee Foundation, Shannon Lee, daughter of martial artist Bruce Lee, shared practices for bettering the mind.

Held in the Proscenium Theater

on Wednesday, the workshop titled, “The Empty Cup: Quieting the Mind and Creating Space,” focused on tools used to help open the mind to improve creativity and wellbeing.

Lee answered questions from the audience, all of which were focused on her father. She talked about what it was like growing up with him calling him playful and energetic

with a huge sense of humor.

“He was pretty regimented, if you can imagine, and he was very direct,” Lee said.

The family would practice martial arts together at home. She listed her ever-changing favorite films of his including “Enter the Dragon” because it is the only movie that is not dubbed and includes her father’s

voice.

Lee said she has a passion for her father’s teachings and ways of thinking. She reminded the audience that he was not perfect and that perfection is not what people should strive for.

It is the continuous work of growing and self inquiry that should be the focus of the journey in life.

She said her father spent as much

time and energy working on his mental health as he did his physical health.

Attendees were invited on stage to participate in some of the exercises. They were asked to do deep breathing, journaling and affirmations. Lee said these exercises may not work for everyone and encouraged participants to use what works for them.

She also said that although these exercises may not work now, perhaps in the future they may be useful when they are at different stages in their lives.

The next workshop will be held on March 27 from 10:30 a.m. to noon and will focus on the tools and strategies for growth and wellness.

Workshop urges students to learn time management

BY BEATRIZ GARAY Staff Writer The First Year Experience encouraged students to manage their time in their Time Management workshop and introduced techniques to help balance their time.

Leslie Arciniega, a student at East Los Angeles College, hosted the FYE event.

Arciniega has been through what many students deal with when it comes to learning how to properly manage time on things, ranging from home life to student life.

Arciniega knows well that sometimes one can’t always manage all things in life in the way one wants, but there are methods that can lessen the stress that comes with it and make life easier.

The methods Arciniega described were quite basic but enlightening.

Not many are informed about these when entering and attending a higher education institution, as they are left to their own devices.

Some may not have the resources that others do with handling how

time consuming college can be when they first enter.

Arciniega also gave some ideas for students who want to try something new when it comes to preparing for exams.

She wants to ensure that students do not overexert themselves when studying, as stress during school time can greatly affect their learning.

Arciniega presented a number of practices, including using a basic regular planner to keep track of all the things one needs to get done and not feel overwhelmed. A technique called the pomodoro technique was also introduced. The pomodoro technique involves studying for a certain amount of time and taking a break for about five minutes to prevent mental exhaustion.

Arciniega encouraged students to take breaks from school and studies.

It’s important to avoid mental and physical exhaustion from sitting on a chair in front of the computer.

During the workshop, Arciniega mentioned a few methods she’s

heard about from students at different colleges. One she finds to be quite effective is called the “active recall method.”

This method is where students quiz themselves using flashcards that summarizes information they gained.

This method helps students quiz themselves to see if they are able to become familiar with the information they learned. She mentioned that if students use this method over and over it will help them.

The idea Arciniega wants to convey the most to students is that it is important to be aware of how time can be something that many can’t control.

They should adapt in a way where they are not overwhelming themselves. She also spoke on how one needs to find a balance for themselves.

They can enjoy the time they want with their families while pursuing something that can give them a better life that they want. www.ELACCampusNews.com

Coach Mosley offers words of wisdom in discussion panel

BY STEVEN ADAMO Staff Writer Before screening a portion of Netflix’s “Last Chance U,” East Los Angeles College basketball Coach John Mosley and other stars of the show met earlier this month in a panel discussion.

The panel also featured Tyrelle Hunt, Demetrius Calip, Jon Sanders and JT Langston; who are in the 2021-22 ELAC Basketball team and also on the series.

“Live in your gift, not in your curse,” one of many words of encouragement Mosley shared with the audience.

A recurring theme of Mosley’s was “paying it forward.” He said that if all he ever did was pour energy into “me time,” only he would benefit from that, not his students.

Recalling a time when he was “a screwup” and “in the gutter,” Mosley said that people still gave him a chance and offered new opportunities, which helped him turn his life around.

Because of the opportunities and guidance he received during this time, Mosley applies this to the students he coaches who may also be acting out similarly. “Those who deserve love the least, need it the most,” Mosley said.

Sanders, of the ELAC basketball team, said that Mosley’s selflessness is part of what helps him deal with his toughness as a coach.

“His expectations are really high, almost unrealistic at times, but it’s coming from a good place.” ELAC basketball’s Langston said that Mosley not only wants the players to succeed in basketball, but also in their academic studies at ELAC.

OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED—Coach John Mosley and Basketball players answer questions before the screening of Netflix’s “Last Chance U: Basketball.”

One quote of Mosley’s that stuck with Langston is “live in your gift, not in your curse.” Mosley said that regardless of personal or generational curses, “You have a gift, so live in that.”

Langston also shared the differences between pressure of being on the series versus a regular season. “We had to live up to the hype,” Langston said.

With more people in the stands now, Langston said he can spend more time having fun.

A dream of Calip’s is to be in the NBA like his father, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was 4,” Calip said.

Aside from the many accomplishments of his players, Mosley said he was also proud

that the team made it through the season with the added stress of being filmed.

Accor ding to Mosley, the expectations from others also had an impact on the players, from their playing to also having to live up to the previous seasons of Last Chance U. Mosley said that even though he has received offers that triple his

salary, his time at ELAC allows him to spend time with his family and “the freedom to pour into lives.”

He recalled a time when he was traveling a lot and his six-year-old daughter at the time was excited that he was able to sleep at home. “She was six and she said ‘You’re staying at our house…’ I never want that,” Mosley said.

Black History Month on campus over the years TIMELINE BY STEVEN ADAMO

1984 Black History Theater Arts class provided entertainment for two 45-minute shows for Black History Month in 1984. Instructor Dave Wells planned the show with students and student Curtis Taylor wrote the narratives.

In Taylor’s narrative, ELAC Campus News staff writer Vicki Chong said that Taylor’s emotional narration featured past and present Black History, brushing on stories about slavery, the Harlem Renaissance and closing with a description of events at the time.

Taylor used music to accompany his words for his performance.

“We wanted to inform the public about Black history and about all my people’s plights in the past and also about recent accomplishments,” Taylor said in 1984.

2014 The Black History Continuum arranged a mixture of arts at the S2 Recital Hall in 2014, focusing on themes of love and unity. ELAC Campus News staff writer Cynthia Laguna reported that the event featured the song “Samba no CN/JESUS FIGUEROA Pé” that included live music and dancers.

1976 Students of East Los Angeles College have celebrated Black History Month in a variety of different ways throughout its over 40 year history. The very first celebration of Black History Month occurred in 1976 and featured the west coast premiere of “Bayou Legend,” an Opera by William Grant Still at Ingall’s Auditorium.

The event was sponsored by all the Black Studies departments of the nine Los Angeles Community College District colleges. The president of ELAC at the time, Armando Rodriguez, said “with this program, we hope to bring public attention to the contributions of Black American composers in the field of classical music. Too often when people recall a Black composer, the immediate response is to associate him with popular music, thus perpetuating a false image.”

Also in 1976, poet William White was featured and shared some of his poems and stories with ELAC students. ELAC Campus News writer Mary Simpson wrote that “if you just listen to White’s poetry, you only get half the meaning,” explaining that the use of his hands, eye movements and rhythm made up the other half.

White released a novel titled “The Soul and Uncle Sam” about his time in military service and a book of poetry titled “Moods of a Black Man” which focused on dealing with racial problems and other problems of the day.

Baseball team swings, misses against Pasadena

BY OSCAR MARTINES Staff Writer The baseball team was dealt another tough defeat, falling against Pasadena City College in a 4-1 losing effort.

Huskies’ pitchers David Morales and Isaiah Ayala both had a rough evening, despite striking out a combined nine players throughout the game.

The pitchers performed almost evenly for a combined 11 hits allowed, and each pitcher gave up two runs.

The first four innings of the game ended scoreless; Morales struck out five Pasadena batters and only allowed three hits.

When Pasadena seemed to start picking up momentum, the Huskies prevented them from scoring any runs.

The Huskies batting was a completely different story.

They managed to only get one hit from a combined 13 players a bat.

One of the highlights from the game was in the bottom of the second inning.

A hit from second baseman Moises Nolasco was swiftly

recovered and led to a double play that closed out the inning.

At the top of the fifth inning, Pasadena looked to score the first runs of the game after Morales allowed two players on bases.

Pasadena catcher Matthew Delgado struck first with a 2 RBI single to left center field, opening the score in the game and giving Pasadena a 2-0 lead.

After the play, Morales retired from the game; he played 4.1 innings with five strikeouts, five hits and two allowed runs.

Pasadena right fielder Jakob Guardado arrived on the seventh inning to bat with bases loaded and an opportunity to claim a grand slam.

Although Guardado was unable to hit a grand slam, he still connected with an RBI single to left field. This increased the Pasadena lead to 3-0.

The Huskies finally showed some signs of life by scoring their first run during the bottom of the seventh.

the Huskies on the scoreboard and gave them their only run of the game with the score changing to 3-1.

Men’s basketball dominates, advances to SoCal Regional Final

BY MIGUEL DOMINGUEZ Staff Writer The men’s basketball team won against Riverside City College 94-77. Constant pressure gave the Huskies dominance in the game.

This forced Riverside turnovers and missed shots. Riverside had a total of 19 turnovers, which resulted in 25 points for the Huskies. They also made 10 fastbreak points.

It was a fast-paced game in the first half. The Huskies got it going as they made their shots and got back on the defense quickly. This made Riverside use up most of the shot clock as they passed the ball around. Riverside looked to drive in the ball, but the Huskies double teamed players. This forced shots and led to missed passes.

These tactics led to the Huskies committing many team fouls. Coach John Mosley had to sub in players to avoid fouling out. www.ELACCampusNews.com

The bench did its part, as they outscored Riverside 37 to 16. The Huskies led in the first half 44-30, then Riverside got close as they caught up to the Huskies 48-46, early in the second half. But, the Huskies got back into the rhythm they had earlier in the first half.

For the rest of the half, the Huskies continued their dominance and used up the clock by passing and holding on to the ball. This also made the crowd quiet, but guard Demetrius Calip got the crowd cheering when he did a reverse dunk. Calip was surrounded by a couple of his teammates and fans as they cheered him on. That was the last shot in the game.

Riverside only led once, and it came early in the game. The score was 3-2.

The Huskies took the lead when guard Jon Sanders shot a two pointer and gave the Huskies a 4-3 lead. From that moment on, the Huskies never trailed in the game.

ELAC had 32 points from the paint. From the field, the Huskies made 55% going 30-54. The Huskies made 7-13 three-pointers.

Riverside made 75% from the free throw line, The Huskies made 69% of their shots.

Sanders led the Huskies in scoring with 26 points. Sanders was nearly perfect in shooting, as Sanders went 8-8 from the field and 4-4 from the three-point line. He went 6-8 from the free throw line. Sanders also led the team with five assists.

J.T. Langston struggled in scoring points as he had a total of seven points for the Huskies. He did contribute to the team with four rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block. Langston went 5-8 from the free throw line.

Mosley and the Huskies will go on to the next round and face LA Harbor in the SoCal Regional Final.

The game will be played on March 4 and starts at 7 p.m. and will be played at ELAC.

The top of the ninth inning continued to demonstrate Pasadena’s dominance at bat.

P as ade n a f i r s t b a s e m a n Jake Trabbie—with the bases

loaded—landed a hit to secure an RBI sacrifice to right field and increased Pasadena’s lead over the Huskies to 4-1.

Pasadena pitcher Rider Gardner, who came in for Noell during the bottom of the

seventh, closed out the game only allowing one hit despite striking out one player.

The Huskies fall to a 2-10 record in the season.
