Voter registration will be available near the Student Union at L.A. City College next Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The deadline to register to vote is usually 15 days before an election. The last day to register to vote for the Nov. 8, General Election is Oct. 24, 2022.

eams of faculty and staff members greeted attendees at the enrollment fair in the LACC Quad with the phrase, “Welcome to LACC, good morning, and how can we help you?” The greeting could be heard over and over in the Quad.

It was a gorgeous, sunny and warn Saturday morning. Brightly colored canopies filled the main courtyard of

the campus and seemed to reflect the enthusiasm of the people behind the tables who represented their discipline and department. The longest line formed at the Theatre Academy as students presented filled-out cards that entitled them to a free computer. Speakers carried the sounds of music over the event, and lunch was hot and free.

“This event is welcoming the community back to LACC,” said City College President Mary Gallagher.

More than 200 pro-choice activists marched in West Hollywood on Sept. 3 in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v.

Wade, and the upsurge in attacks on Planned Parenthood clinics across the country.

The march began around 10 a.m., with organizers from a group called, By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), whose stated purpose is to defend affirmative action, integration, immigrant rights and the fight for equality.

The marchers moved along Hollywood Boulevard to rally at the intersection of Vine Street.

The Saturday morning protest was the third weekend in a row that Los Angeles activists protested in support of women’s reproductive rights.

At the same cross-section but at the opposite corner, pro-life activists gathered for a counter rally with nearly 100 supporters.

Most of the participants spent about five hours at the intersection where the prochoice activists outnumbered the pro-life supporters by a ratio of 2 to 1. The protest was peaceful overall, although participants

!"##$%&'( Loan Cancellation Benefits Students, the Economy

BY KATHY FORD

ILLUSTRATION BY CASSANDRA MUNOZ

Why Are We Focused on This?

BY LARA BARNEY Roe v. Wade allowed women to have access to safe medical abortions. This is not to say that abortions were simply not accessible before the decision, only that women had to undergo unsafe and illegal abortions in the shadows.

After the landmark decision to allow women abortions, the CDC found that the number of illegal abortions dropped from 130,000 to 17,000 and deaths went from 39 to five during the years of 1972 to 1974.

“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences,” U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito stated in his initial draft of the majority opinion.

When I hear him cite damaging consequences, I ask him to name them. Roe v. Wade has done nothing but bring safe access and education to women all over America.

Since the landmark case women have been empowered to take care of their bodies and practice actual family planning. The conversation has been moving toward less shame and stigma, and women can get an education easily and freely.

Alito goes on to say, “And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”

If the damaging consequences he is referencing are truly the deepened division in this nation, I question where his priorities lie.

How can he put the feelings of our

nation over the physical safety of its people? What about the damaging consequences of refusing to regulate guns? People every day are affected negatively by gun violence, yet we get silence from those who are supposed to guide us. I feel unprotected by the government. If I’m supposed to keep my unwanted child, how can I send them to a school that is unsafe?

Recently, baby formula was recalled, making the supplies sparse on store shelves. Almost 200 Republicans voted against a bill to provide $28 million dollars of aid to go to the FDA to combat the formula storage. Why would I bring a child into this world if I’m not able to feed it?

Alito goes on to explain that we need to heed the Constitution and it does not say anything about abortions. My argument against that would be that we are promised life and liberty and taking away our right to choose by putting it in the state’s hands is a direct attack on our liberty as individuals. Does the Constitution say anything about other medical procedures and our freedom to receive them?

Abortion is a safe, sometimes medically necessary procedure that has come so far from where it started. Most can now be performed at home. They affect only the individual having the procedure.

To bring everything back into focus, we should not make decisions around choice harder for women, when so many other public threats are more pressing and harmful to the community. It seems like it will only incite more frustration with the government and further divide us as a nation; contrary to what Alito hoped to achieve. A baby in the womb is worth two in the world.

President Biden announced student loan debt cancellation of up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt per borrower and up to $20,000 in debt cancellation for Pell Grant recipients.

The president claims that this will help the United States economy.

According to Scott Horsley with NPR.org, “debt forgiveness has the potential to raise the living standard for tens of millions of people.”

President Biden argues that with a decrease in monthly loan payments for those who qualify, people will have more money to spend. If the cancellation stimulates the economy, why is it a bad thing?

In Horsley’s article, “Is it fair to forgive student loans? Examining three of the arguments of a heated debate,” he analyzes some of the arguments against student loan cancellation.

Some economists argue that it will exacerbate inflation. At a time when the Federal Reserve is increasing interest rates to alleviate inflation, Horsley indicates an estimated 43 million people will see a reduction in their student loan payments and 20 million will have their student loans completely forgiven. For 63 million people, loan cancellation and partial loan cancellation will be a blessing.

This is a huge relief for community college students who currently have student loan debt up to $10,000 (or $20,000 for the

recipients of the Pell Grant). For many, it’s a weight or a partial weight (for those who owe more than $10,000) lifted off their shoulders.

We know that education is a powerful tool in decreasing poverty. If a smaller portion of the population lives in poverty, it seems like the economy, in general, would benefit from the economic stability of its citizens.

Many people who did not qualify for loan forgiveness have already repaid their student loans. Is it fair that they paid when many others will have at least $10,000 forgiven? And, what about the people who do not go to college? Is it fair that they do not receive some type of substantial relief?

Perhaps, but is that relevant when so many community college students struggle financially? It will also benefit students in that they may be able to continue and complete their educations with the relief of less student debt. That also seems like it would assist in stabilizing the economy.

Another argument against student loan cancellation is that it does not address the ongoing problem of tuition increases for college students. College tuition will continue to increase regardless of debt cancellation. However, some debt cancellation does not mean that the problem of increasing tuition is no longer addressed.

Overall, it seems that President Biden’s move to cancel some student debt is a benefit to the students with loans and to the economy.

There’s True Meaning in Student Loan Forgiveness

BY ABEL HABTEGEORGIS My brother and I spend a lot of time talking about finances. Money is top of mind given the state of the economy, rising costs, and the fact he is a new father.

Inflated pricing is hitting everything, f r o m entertainment and electronics to essentials like food, clothing and shelter. Living is expensive.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an 8.5% increase in the Consumer Price Index for all items from July 2021 to July 2022. This is among the highest inflation figures observed since the early 1980s. Consumer food prices increased 10.9 percent from July 2021 to July 2022. It is the largest 12-month increase since the period ending May 1979.

This is the world my nephew came into and my brother is parenting in, but he started college in a different world.

Years ago, my brother attended college in Northern California but never graduated. During that time, he took out a loan to help support his education and living. A series of unfortunate circumstances forced him to drop out, but like so many, he remained on the hook for repayment of the loan.

The need to repay has hung like a cloud over my brother for more than 10 years. It affected his credit score. Like so many of us have learned the hard way, credit scores affect approvals for

many goods and services. This includes credit cards, loans, mortgages and auto loans. Credit influences the interest rate and terms lenders may assign you upon approval.

An obligation made at 17 years of age has affected my brother for over 15 years. A few weeks ago, President Biden and other Democratic party lawmakers decided action should replace talk.

According to a White House fact sheet on the Student Loan Forgiveness program, the Department of Education will provide up to $20,000 in debt cancellation to Pell Grant recipients with loans held by the Department of Education, and up to $10,000 in debt cancellation to non-Pell Grant recipients. Borrowers are eligible for this relief if their individual income is less than $125,000 ($250,000 for married couples). In addition, the pause on federal student loan repayment will be extended one final time through Dec. 31, 2022.

Joe Biden’s package has real-world implications. The cancellation of the remainder of my brother’s loan was one, literally.

With the stroke of a pen, personal outlooks have changed, and financial situations have shifted for the better all because of this system update in the form of debt relief.

The reality is higher education is expensive for reasons many don’t understand. It does not always make sense. According to the Education Data Initiative, in 2007 when I graduated from college, the cost of annual tuition for a public four-year college was $5,666, and it was $20,517 for a four-year private school.

Fast forward to the 2019-2020

school year and a student would be paying an estimated $9,349 for a four-year, and $32,769 at a private college annually. To put that in perspective, since 1990, average tuition and fee rates have increased 130% after adjusting for inflation.

There are those on one side who hate this whole thing and question why “they” must pay for anything when “they” paid off their loans accordingly. Ironically, I am one of the “they,” so I get it. But cycles are meant to be broken, and I am more than willing to take part in the fun. In fact, let me be one of the millions who took out a loan, worked hard to pay it off, and now, I am in a position to help provide relief for the many today who are staring down debt in a world filled with doubt, disease, war, and turmoil. Why? Because like “them,” I went to school with the same sort of hope and understanding that it was what I needed to do to be successful. But unlike so many, my debt wasn’t crippling, and a series of fortunate events helped me to graduate. So, here I am, debt-free with employment that my college degree helped secure. I also sort of believe in that whole “I am my brother’s keeper” thing.

In the meantime, we’ll cheer for relief, one less thing one must pay for. I’ll also appreciate the fact that a government has heeded the demands of an important part of its base, providing us with a great case study of democracy in action.

I have not heard my brother this excited about anything political in a while. It was refreshing to hear him ask, “Whatsup with November? It’s time to vote!”

BY LUVLEIGHAN CLARK Guardian Scholars from Los Angeles City College hosted a pre-semester barbecue where current and former students could meet up, eat, and go on the pond in paddle boats at Echo Park on Aug. 24, 2022.

Socializing can be one of the hard parts of being a foster child, as most move at least five times while they are in the system, according to the Children’s Law Center of California. Very few are lucky enough to stay in the same home or only move once.

Some are on the extreme side of the spectrum and move multiple times, which makes social interactions difficult.

“I moved over 15 times in foster care, and 12 schools,” said Norma Lathan, a member of LACC Guardian Scholars. “I learned to meet new people but never had a best friend or boyfriend.”

It is a challenge that can be familiar for foster youth.

From 1978 to 2012, “Animal House” to “Pitch Perfect,” popular culture is full of movie examples where college is the biggest social interaction a person can face.

Guardian Scholars help students find their way. Alvaro Aguila at L.A. City College is the program coordinator.

ally will [attempt a] college degree … that’s why programs like Guardian Scholars and NextUp are important,” he said. Because we address the systematic barriers facing current and former foster youth and provide them with the personal and academic support, they need to be successful.”

Aguila says the program staff tries to provide foster youth with support and resources to break the statistics. Students achieved a 14% graduation rate last year.

He says that is four to five times higher than the national average.

“Guardian Scholars is a blessing … if it was not for them, I would not have stayed in school because of my disabilities … they hooked me up with disabled student services to help me with my accommodations for my classes,” Lathan said.

Guardian Scholars organized the first field trip of the semester to Cal State L.A. to help students learn more about furthering their education beyond community college.

To learn more about the program, students may visit Room 360 in the Student Services Building or call (323) 953-4000, ext. 2335, or ext. 2336. Guardian Scholars are also on Instagram @lacc.guardianscholars.Nextup and Facebook @LACC.GuardianScholars.NextUp

Espinoza-Guzman says one purpose of the fair was to help students start the conversation about their needs.

Participants passed through the Quad during the fair in search of information and tools to increase their chances of educational success. The Los Angeles Community College District organized simultaneous enrollment events at each of the nine college campuses. Organizers asked students a list of questions.

“Do you have a device to actually go to class? Do you need help with rental assistance? Do you have enough food to eat? And then, we can start tapping into those resources,” Espinoza-Guzman said.

Representatives from many departments answered questions and recruited new students. Education and career counselors, financial aid experts and enrollment assistants assisted students in real time. Students were able to add classes or enroll in any of the degree or certificate and career options offered at L.A. City College.

Students found many useful resources at the fair. There were three hot services that everyone was talking about: free tuition for two years, a free laptop and a $2,500 grant from the California Aid Commission.

“It’s an incentive for people who have not been in school and lost their job during COVID, they can get a $2,500 grant if

they register to take classes,” said President Gallagher.

“It’s a $2,500 grant and it doesn’t go against anybody’s financial aid. It’s something to encourage people to come back [to] school.”

Jackeline Martinez is a nursing student who received a laptop. She says student status was a requirement to be eligible for the computer. Martinez says the “Enrollment Fair Extravaganza” was well organized and useful.

“I want to let the students and the community know we are here,” President Gallagher said. ”We welcome them back, and we’ll do whatever we can to help them to get through successfully in their classes and in their program.”

from both camps often shouted at each other. When the two groups faced off, LAPD officers stepped in to separate the protesters during a shoving match. There were arrests after confrontations between the opposing groups.

Flyers carried by the BAMN participants stated they were working to “Defend women’s and LGBTQ rights, the right to birth control, healthcare, and all human rights won by progressive social struggles.”

BAMN blames the “proTrump anti-abortion fanatics” for “attempts to shut down the Santa Monica Planned Parenthood and harass women seeking services there.”

BAMN members claim part of their motivation for the protest rally was to stop the pro-life activists’ attempts to attack another Planned Parenthood location. The posters held by the abortion rights activists read “Legal Abortion Nationwide Now!” “Jail Trump and The Jan. 6th Authoritarian Coup Leaders!”

“Abortion on Demand and Without Apology!” “Defend The Right to Abortion, Fight for Women’s Equality and the Oppressed By All Means Necessary!”

The pro-life counter rally was entitled, “Children’s Lives Matter.” The activists held posters that read “Babies Lives Matter,” and a banner that read “Going Out of Business!

Planned Infanticide.”

ictory followed the L.A. City College Cubs in two early home games of the season over Santa Monica and San Bernardino Valley College when they beat the Corsairs 3-1, and the Wolverines 3-0 in their second win of the fall season.

New team players joined the Cubs this season, and half of the team returned from last year. Coach Javier Aguiniga Campos says he has great expectations this year and hopes to improve upon last season’s record.

“I’m excited this season,” Coach Aguiniga said. “I think we have a much better team than last year. Because we developed, and we improved, that’s always our goal to win and make as many players as possible ... move on to the next level.”

That afternoon the summer heat wave hit hard on the soccer field, but the Cubs were fired up and ready to play and win in despite the weather conditions.

During the game between the Cubs and the Santa Monica College Corsairs, both teams moved the ball and

showed off their soccer skills. But Alexander Lalor with the help of Javier Mendoza and Menez Jahra scored for the Corsairs in the 30th minute of the first half.

The Cubs were at a disadvantage with the score at 0-1.

They began to focus on their goal and reorganized their strategy of playing by arranging key positions. They got results within five minutes. Nicolas Magaña received the ball from Axel Miranda and scored for the Cubs in the 35th minute.

In the second half, the Cubs came back strong with more ball possessions. Edison Lopez scored in the 70th minute, and Axel Miranda scored in the 75th minute.

The Cubs scored three times in a 40-minute span with a 3-1 final score.

The Cubs celebrated a second victory on Friday night, Sept. 2, 2022. They thrashed their opponent, the Wolverines, with a 3-0 final score.

“Our guys responded, and we are putting in a lot of work,” the coach said. “It looks like we are doing a great job.”

Armando Villegas is a freshman at LACC and forward winger for the Cubs. He was satisfied with the way the game developed during the 90 minutes of action.

Parents and students seated in the gallery cheered and supported their teams during the game. Some of them dressed in their jersey team and followed them since high school.

The Rodriguez family came in support of David Rodriguez, the goalkeeper for the Corsairs.

“We liked the game,” said Fernando Rodriguez, David’s father. “Santa Monica needs to put a little more pressure.

That’s all, but the game was good.”

Fernando appeared satisfied with David and the Corsairs’ performance.

The Rodriguez family immigrated from Guatemala and established their residency in Santa Monica in the ‘80s. They have a daughter, Margarita, who is attending UC Santa Barbara and working on her Ph.D. in Linguistics, and David is a freshman at Santa Monica College.

Margarita came in support of David, even though she does not like soccer. Her mother is a different story.

Blanca Rodriguez cheered during her son’s game.

“I’m the mama, I’m the cheerleader, and I am the one who loves to see my son play,” Blanca Rodriguez said.

“My son is the best.”
