T

he Haute Dog Howl’oween Parade gave local dogs an opportunity to soak in some of the Halloween spotlight.

Countless costumed hounds and their owners flooded Marina Vista Park in Long Beach yesterday to display their Halloween get-up, walk in a parade and — of course, socialize with fellow dogs.

There were hundreds of dogs of all kinds, shapes and sizes in DIY costumes.

Women hold about 4.2 percent of CEO positions in America’s 500 largest companies, according to a 2016 article from Fortune.

In response to this statistic, the 1,000 Dreams Fund is providing women in high school and college scholarships and other opportunities to be mentored by industry professionals in order to close the gap.

According to its website, 1,000 Dreams Fund has a goal of providing 1,000 $200 scholarships for women across the nation; so far it has given out 29 scholarships.

Its newest five-week online challenge, #MentorMe, is aiming to inspire young women by allowing them to learn from professional mentors.

Program participants will be able to speak to anyone from the programs board of directors in a one-on-one session and receive financial assistance to help pay for expenses such as textbooks, study abroad programs and electronic devices.

Money for the program is largely generated from donations.

“One of the other things we realized is that scholarships programs are hard to find. The #MentorMe challenge grew out of that,” explained 1,000 Dreams Fund founder Christie Garton. “We wanted to make it even easier to access funding by doing it on social media.”

To join the challenge, which runs from Oct. 11 to Nov. 11, participants must follow and tweet to the 1,000 Dreams Fund account @1000DreamsFund.

Entrants must finish the sentence “#MentorMe so I can [insert your idea] @1000DreamsFund.”

1,000 Dreams Fund started from Garton’s previous project, U Chic, a woman-to-woman advice book and website which women can refer to if they have specific questions about school.

The organization began giving out scholarships after officials realized that the cost of college is a setback for most students..

Since Garton created the fund in 2015, more than $40,000 in scholarships have been given out.

This money gives women in high school and college one-time financial help with any educational needs they might have.

“A lot of scholarship programs are very niche and narrowly targeted to a certain school or areas of study so it excludes a lot of students from even applying,” Garton said.

“I wanted to, with the 1,000 Dreams Fund, to create a place where any young woman who have a variety of interests can be funded.”

HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The original Hippocratic Oath for medical doctors says to do no harm to the patient. This election will give us a different doctor to try to cure the ills of the country. Thus if you have confusion about for whom to vote, vote for the person which will do the least harm. Accept no excuses from either party.

Republicans will do the least harm and should do the most good. 1. Republicans are more fiscally responsible than the Democrats. President Obama has doubled the national debt to near our GNP. Japan showed that when this happens, growth slows down and then economy is stagnant. If you want a job, vote Republican. 2. Mr. Trump will put first things first. The constitution first and foremost provide for national defense. The Democrats reduce the military budgets to buy votes. You pay now or in the future. The future price will be your blood and that of my fellow military friends. 3. Mr. Trump will not use my funds to support Planned Parenthood but instead will support actual women health clinics. There are more black babies killed in NYC than are born. Hopefully, this will be reversed. 4.

Mr. Trump will have real policies so that both women and men are paid what they are worth. Hillary pays women fifty percent of what she pays men in her foundation. Mr. Trump promotes and pays his women managers the same as men for the same work. He pays for results, not resumes. 5. Donald Trump will return education to the states and local governments. Democrats have controlled the inner city education for the past 50 years and it has been downhill since I went to PS-29 in NYC in the 1950’s.

Mr. Trump supports vouchers and the control of education by the parents, not Democrats who are proselyting the students to have them believe socialism is the best form of government. 6. Mrs. Clinton has shown she cannot be trusted with classified information and her decision making is flawed. The latest incident has Mrs. Clinton’s revealing a critical, top secret information on our nuclear response in the final debate. This added to all the classified information on her unsecured server and her non response to our soldiers under attack in Benghazi proved to me she is not qualified to lead our country.

Hillary Clinton would be Obama 2.0 with more spending, more corruption, more lies, and a collapsing heath care system. This is a binary choice election. Mr. Trump is the best choice to help heal our country.

Protesters to take down Dakota pipeline barricades

By Lynda Mapes The Seattle Times

CANNON BALL, N.D. After an allnight showdown with police, protesters against the Dakota Access Pipeline were by midday Friday beginning to dismantle their highway barricade of burned trucks and plywood scraps.

Facing them was a phalanx of police in armored personnel carriers, behind a hastily erected wall of concrete Jersey barriers.

A tribal elder who intervened in the escalating conflict defused tension, counseling demonstrators to follow police demands to move back from the bridge on the highway where they built the barricade an d to remove the barrier. More elders continued to arrive to assist in calming the situation.

Demonstrators, who call themselves Water Protectors, set multiple fires on the bridge overnight. They still had not dispersed as of late Friday afternoon, but tribal members were working with law enforcement in an attempt to disperse them.

Police are trying to move all demonstrators to a camp farther south on the highway, where opponents of the Dakota Access Pipeline have been gathering since last spring. That camp is on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, where police told

day to return to a camp they were pushed out of Thursday. It’s on private land belonging to the developers of the pipeline, in the path of construction. Demonstrators were allowed under police escort to return to the former camp to retrieve their teepees and other property. In all, they were there less than a week, after taking the land back under eminent domain under the treaty of

1851.

Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier in a news conference Friday afternoon said another arrest of demonstrators had been made, bringing the total over the two days to 142 people. In all, a total of 411 demonstrators have been arrested since Aug. 10 in connection with protests against the pipeline.

Police used pepper spray, rifles that shot

bean bags and sponges, concussive grenades (a device that generates an ear-piercing noise) and Tasers. The sheriff reported the latter was used in one instance when a protester threw pepper in an officer’s face Thursday.

Demonstrators burned at least nine vehicles and construction equipment, the sheriff reported. No serious injuries were reported.

The chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, Dave Archambault II, has called for intervention by the Department of Justice to keep the peace.

“By deploying law enforcement to support the Dakota Access Pipeline construction, the State of North Dakota is collaborating with Energy Transfer Partners in escalating tensions,” he said in a prepared statement of the pipeline developer, based in Dallas.

“We need our state and federal government to bring justice and peace to our lands, not the force of armored vehicles.”

Archambault also called on demonstrators to be peaceful as they stay tried to stop the pipeline, which the tribe and thousands of opponents who have joined them say threatens clean water, because of the developer’s proposed pipeline crossing under the Missouri River.

“We won’t step down from this fight,” Archambault said.

Win the title of ‘Belle of the Ball’ Delta Lambda Phi hosts Legends Ball, an alternative homecoming.

By Xochitl Abarca Staff Writer

Vogue and catwalk your way to the crown at Cal State Long Beach’s Delta Lambda Phi Second Annual Legends Ball on Nov. 5.

The Legends Ball will take place from 7-10 p.m. at the LGBTQ Center of Long Beach at 2017 East Fourth Street. “[The Legends Ball] was initially created as both a fun show and competition for people to take part in, but also educate others on the underground ball culture created by queer people of color,” CSULB alumni graphic design major and Delta Lambda Phi brother Ricardo Davis said.

Solely funded by the CSULB chapter of Delta Lambda Phi, the ball was started by the Beta Alpha class of Spring 2016 as a fundraising event that turned out to be a success.

Delta Lambda Phi is a fraternity open to all men, though it does welcome gay members.

“You don’t have to be a part of the LGBTQ community to be part of the organization,” sophomore microbiology major and Delta Lambda Phi Fellowship Chairman Brandon Ha said.

According to sophomore kinesiology major and Delta Lambda Phi President Ignacio Gutierrez, the fraternity’s goal on campus is to show people that they are outstanding members of the community who seek to help those around them no matter who they are; they promote positivity and diversity through educating people about different cultures and various ideologies that some may not be familiar with, including the LGBTQ community.

“I think the Legends Ball is important for CSULB students because the ball is meant to be educational,” Gutierrez said. “A lot of people — especially those that are part of the

LGBTQ community — aren’t aware of the ball culture or what they have done for the LGBTQ community.”

The Legends Ball will host 10 categories judged by four secret guest judges. Each category requires different outfits except the categories of Reading, Vogue and Lip Sync where you can wear other category’s outfits.

There will be changing rooms available to use throughout the night between categories. If students need to show up early to get ready for the event, Delta Lambda Phi can accommodate.

The event will have food and prizes for top contenders in each category. The top competitor who wins the most categories will win the title for this year’s Belle of the Ball and will be given a trophy declaring their title.

“Expect to hear music that puts you in the mood to strut your stuff and express yourself,” Davis said.

Fashion will range from tame and casual to extravagant and drag.

“People can come dressed up in whatever it is they want, whether it’s something they made on their own [or] an outfit that draws inspiration from different fashions,” Ha said.

“The fashion at the ball is hard to describe but fun to see.”

According to Gutierrez, attendees from last year were very diverse. The event had people from different age groups, ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations.

“The event is open to everyone to learn about how important the ball culture is and why it should be remembered as something great,” Gutierrez said.

Presale tickets are $6 which includes free competition entry and atthe-door prices are $7 plus a $5 competition entry fee. Attendees can buy tickets ahead of time through http:// tinyurl.com/hv5vtoz.

‘Mourning Dove’ leaves the nest Senior FEA major starts work on film about the refugee crisis in the Middle East.

By Amber Costa Staff Writer

Cal State Long Beach Film and Electronic Arts senior Alexandra Petrus is a first-generation American born from an Iraqi refugee family.

She is in the process of directing her senior film on the refugee crisis in the Middle East, called “Mourning Dove.”

Petrus is from Oakland, California and finds a connection to what

is happening in the Syrian civil war, drawing her interest into making a film about the current crisis regarding the impact that it has on kids specifically.

Her family lived as refugees in Iraq because of racial and religious persecution. Petrus’ father had a choice to either join Saddam Hussein’s Ba’th Party or to fight in the Iran-Iraq War. Her father fled before being drafted from Iraq when he was 17 years old in the late ‘70s.

“What people don’t realize is these places hold the oldest cultures and civilizations that we know of, and in a very short amount of time are being destroyed,” Petrus said. “I see what I consider to be a homeland being destroyed and the attitude toward it is that these people are insignificant.”

Petrus hopes to bring awareness of what is going on in these countries and how it affects the people who live there through her film. “[Mainstream media] prioritize subjects such as the election and pop media over the fact that 400,000 people have died in the countries in the past five years. My duty is to give these people a voice because half of the people that are being killed are children,” Petrus said. “There is an apathy toward the Eastern world from the Western world because have learn to sort of demonize anything east of Europe.”

Currently, Petrus is in pre-production for the film after the script was selected to receive a starter fund by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Now she is fundraising online, and once she finds out how much she has raised, pre-production will be finalized. Filmmakers have just finished casting, and now are currently looking for a location to film.

Once the pre-production is done, rehearsals will begin, the crew will be filled out and then filming will begin. The crew is mostly all female, which is Petrus’ way of responding to the gender gap in the film industry. “[I wanted] to give women an opportunity to both learn and have roles that they are often discouraged from,” Petrus said.

For casting, Petrus had to go through a professional casting director. It was a difficult process to find the main character in particularly because of the specific needs for her. The main

character in the film, Youna, was cast for an Arabic-speaking girl.

In Syrian, Youna means dove, which is why the movie is named “Mourning Dove.”

“A mourning dove makes the sound of someone who is in mourning. The story is about [Youna] healing and so many girls in mourning of the death of their homeland,” said Petrus.

The whole film will cost about $9,000 to $10,000. To donate for the film, go to indiegogo.com and search for “Mourning Dove Film.” Petrus has currently raised about $3,600 of her $4,000 goal.

The screening of the film will occur at the end of next semester in May with the nine other senior films on campus.

11 last-minute Halloween costumes Don’t let procrastination get in get in the way of dress-up fun.

By Jason Enns

Arts & Life Editor

T

ired of your friends calling you a stick in the mud because you didn’t go out and buy a Halloween costume? Don’t worry, you can still make that Halloween party tonight with these last-minute, throw-together costume ideas.

1. Dancing girl emojis All you need for this simple and timely costume is a headband, cardstock and black clothes. Get cozy in a pair of black shorts and a black t-shirt. You might have to make a run to the office supply store, but all you’ll need is some black cardstock to make into bunny ears and attach to the headband. Throw on a pair of black socks and you’re ready to go.

2. Grapes A bunch of grapes isn’t exactly the sexiest costume, but it’s super easy and no one will ask you what you are. All you need to do is go out and pick up some purple balloons. Blow up as many purple balloons as you can attach to your clothes. A matching purple cap can really sell the outfit if you have one. This costume is also a great excuse to drink wine all night.

3. Raining Men Granted, this costume isn’t even a noun, but everyone will know the reference. This costume is completed in just a few simple steps, and can be made without a run to the store if you have some string handy. First, put on your favorite rain gear. Next, print out several head shots of today’s dreamiest men like your David Beckhams, your Jamie Foxxes and Johnny Depps. Hang the faces from the edge of your umbrella and you’re ready for the storm of compliments you’re bound to get from your imaginative costume.

4. Risky Business One of American pop culture’s most recognized, referenced and imitated movie scenes is Tom Cruise sliding on the hardwood floor in his socks and undies in the film “Risky Business.”

This costume is the perfect example of a costume that’s probably hiding in your closet right now. You just need some shin-high, white socks and a large, white dress shirt. If you don’t have any tighty whities, or just don’t want to go out in underwear, short shorts should still get the point across. Put on your slickest pair of black shades and you’re ready to take those old records off the shelf.

Illustrations by Miranda Andrade-Ceja

5. Identity Thief This is one of the simplest conceivable costumes. You may be asking yourself how does one dress up as an identity thief, but it only takes one easy step. Get some, “Hello my name is” stickers, and write any name that isn’t your own. The more names worn, the better the thief. It may take an explanation but pun-friendly crowds will get a kick out of it.

6. Ceiling Fan If you really want to get punny with it, you might consider being a ceiling fan. All it takes is a Sharpie and a plain white tee.

Write, “Go Ceiling!” on the front of your shirt to show your support for the top of the room. When people ask you what you are and you reply, “ceiling fan.” It may take some people a second or two to get it, but it’s a classic case of a humorous double meaning.

7. Cat Stevens Have an old cat costume lying around, aka a pair of cat ears?

If you want to put a fresh taste on one of the most overused last-minute costumes there is, it’s easy – become legendary musician Cat Stevens. Put on your ears and draw on your whiskers, then right on your shirt or make a sign reading “Stevens.” To really sell the outfit, a guitar will pull it all together.

8. Wilson It’s easy to become a very convincing Wilson from “Home Improvement,” because no one ever sees below his nose. For this costume you’ll need a fishing hat and a little bit of arts and crafts skills. Go buy some large popsicle sticks and glue them togeth-

er to create a makeshift fence, with another stick at the bottom to act as a handle. Every time you lift the fence to just below your eyes, every 90’s kid will immediately recognize their favorite faceless neighbor.

9. Brawny man It doesn’t get much easier than this costume. If you happen to have a plaid red flannel then you’re already there. Roll up the sleeves and tuck it into some blue jeans to create that extra rugged man appeal. On your way to the party pick up a roll of Brawny and display it with pride. Voila, you just became the famously handsome paper towel spokesperson.

10. Error 404 Did I say it doesn’t get easier than Brawny man? I lied. Now presenting the ultimate costume cop-out, error code 404. Pretty much everyone who has surfed the web has seen this frustrating, “Website not available” message. To become the human equivalent of this nuisance, pull out your Sharpie and a white t-shirt and write, “Error 404, costume not found.”

11. Pinterest board Have you been scrolling through Pinterest to find that perfectly clever Halloween costume? If you weren’t able to find the right costume for you, forget the posts, and just go as the Pinterest board itself. Get a piece of cardboard and print out the Pinterest logo and all those posts of costumes that didn’t make the cut this year. Glue on your pictures and hang the board around your neck.

Mexican journalists are under siege throughout the country both from organized crime and abusive government authorities.

topic as challenging as the killing of Mexican journalists by Mexican politicians and members of organized crime deserves to run in both English and Spanish to properly depict the murderous trend.

Both op-eds are by writer Ivette Manriquez, who was born and raised in Mexico and is currently a second-year student at Cal State Long Beach. Both versions of the article provide plenty of information, yet the one in Spanish showcases the matter in a greatly particularized manner.

The silencing of Mexican journalists

El callar de los periodistas Mexicanos

How Mexico’s government is making freedom of the press problematic.

El gobierno de Mexico crea problematica en la libertad de expresion.

Elidio Ramos Zarate, 45, was shot in the head and killed in Oaxaca, Mexico on June 19, according to an article titled “Executed Newspaper ‘El Sur’ reporter in Oaxaca” published in Mexican magazine Proceso by Pedro Matias.

Ramos Zarate, who was a reporter for the newspaper El Sur, is the most recent journalist to be murdered in Mexico.

I believe it is a journalist’s obligation to give voice to the voiceless and report injustices to the public; people trust journalists to accurately report any kind of harm affecting a community. For this reason, I decided to be a journalist and stand up against inequities, especially those enforced by politicians which are not denounced publicly.

Unfortunately, Mexico is one of the most politically corrupt countries in Latin America and is a top contender when it comes to countries that are most dangerous for journalists, with 91 percent of journalist murders being unpunished, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

In the last 15 years, 103 journalists have been murdered and 25 are still missing, ac-

Elidio Ramos Zárate, 45, fue asesinado en Oaxaca, México el 19 de Junio con un tiro en la cabeza por dos individuos no identificados que se conducían en una motocicleta según la página de internet de la revista Proceso.

Ramos, quien era un reportero del periódico El Sur, se convirtió en el último periodista asesinado en México.

La tarea de un periodista es dar voz a aquellos que nadie toma en cuenta y hacer públicas las injusticias; la gente confía en nosotros para publicar lo que les dana. Es por esta razón que decidí ser periodista, por que no puedo soportar ver una injusticia sin ser denunciada.

México es uno de los paises mas peligrosos en el mundo para ser periodista teniendo 91 por ciento de sus asesinatos impunes de acuerdo a la página de internet del Comité de Protección del Periodista.

En los últimos 15 años, 103 periodistas han sido asesinados y 25 siguen desaparecidos según informe de la PGR, publicado en el periódico Mexicano La Jornada.

México también es considerado en el sexto lugar de homicidios impunes contra

cording to the Mexican Attorney General’s report.

As reported by the CPJ, Mexico has attained the sixth spot on a list of the 13 countries where murdering journalists goes unpunished the most, with Somalia being at the top. Furthermore, the committee reports that 76 percent of murders of journalists are committed by those involved in organized crime reporting followed by the 30 percent for corruption reporting and 24 percent by political reporting.

I spoke to journalist Alberto Robledo, who is a reporter for a Mexican newspaper Milenio Laguna. Robledo shared that article 7 in the Mexican Constitution gives journalists the right to report news to the masses freely, as long as the information does not affect third parties.

Unfortunately, it’s those within the Mexican government who don’t allow the application of the aforementioned article as the citizens’ right. After having lived in Mexico

periodistas, siendo Somalia el primer lugar, según el CPJ. En mi entrevista con el periodista Mexicano Alberto Robledo del periódico Milenio Laguna, el “artículo 7 de la Constitución Mexicana señala como inviolable el derecho de la prensa, y las personas que la generan, a publicar escritos sobre cualquier materia, siempre y cuando no afecte a terceras personas.”

Tristemente el propio gobierno Mexicano es quien no permite la aplicación a este artículo. Nosotros, los Mexicanos, sabemos como funciona el gobierno y lo difícil que es probar su culpabilidad dado a que desaparecen cualquier tipo de prueba y simplemente no responden a las preguntas del pueblo.

Esto es lo que llamamos un “secreto a voces,” cuando algo es tan obvio y todos sabemos la verdad, pero que por alguna extraña razón no ha sido publico o ni pruebas hay.

Por lo tanto, los asesinatos a periodistas Mexicanos son un acto de cobardía, son la

for the majority of my life, I can easily say that most Mexican citizens are aware of the government’s corruption, although it may be difficult to prove as a result of politicians successfully hiding most of the evidence.

This is what many people deem an open secret — all know the Mexican government is responsible for the plethora of journalistic murders, but due to the lack of hard evidence, those murders have gone unpunished.

Therefore, the murders of Mexican journalists are an act of cowardice, they’re a way of organized crime and politicians to silence journalists from reporting accurate information to the masses.

Since we reside on this side of the Bravo River, it’s easy to ask questions like, “Why don’t Mexican people report these murders or threats?” Well, unfortunately, Mexico’s organized crime is often backed by politicians in the Mexican government.

It’s hard to file a police report when

manera de callar lo que es obvio.

Dado a que vivimos de este lado del río, nos es muy fácil preguntarnos, “¿y por qué no denuncian las amenazas o los asesinatos?”

Desgraciadamente el crimen organizado está respaldado por el gobierno Mexicano.

Es imposible levantar una denuncia cuando ni siquiera se puede confiar en las mismas instituciones de gobierno.

En los Estados Unidos los medios de comunicación están protegidos bajo la primer enmienda que permite a los periodistas la libertad de expresión y de prensa y aquel que falle a esta libertad, encontrara castigo.

Por otra parte, el gobierno Mexicano, incluido el de Peña Nieto, no logran responder a las preguntas del pueblo.

Por ejemplo, los 43 normalistas desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa, México

cuando, segun El Pais en su articulo “Decenas de estudiantes desaparecidos tras un ataque de la policía en México” escrito por Jan Martínez, se conducían a la ciudad de México para participar en los actos en memoria de la matanza estudiantil de Tlatelolco de 1968.

Después de tomar varios transportes públicos, los estudiantes fueron interceptados por la policía municipal, los cuales abrieron fuego dejando dos normalistas muertos y cinco otros heridos.

El resto de los estudiantes huyeron por la ciudad en grupos llenos de miedo. Hasta el dia de hoy no se sabe la ubicación de 43 de los normalistas.

Tanto el pueblo cómo los familiares de los desaparecidos han sido negados a una respuesta o búsqueda de la desaparición.

De acuerdo al periódico La Jornada en su artículo “Llama Peña a ‘superar’ el caso Ayotzinapa’ por Rosa Vargas, el Presidente de México, Enrique Peña Nieto, declaró en el 2014 que sería más fácil impulsar su propuesta para mejorar la economía

students from reaching the capital.

The reason why is not clear, but there is speculation among civilians that the government didn’t want a protest or riot to break out during the commemoration.

The police ended up opening fire on the unarmed students — two were killed while five others were seriously injured. The rest of the students fled to the city, filled with fear.

To this day, nobody exactly knows where the students went, or where they are. Many are convinced the government is behind their disappear-

the police is backed by a corrupt government.

Many times Mexican citizens cannot trust the people in charge of protecting them.

Furthermore, Mexican politicians — including the current president of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, fail to answer the community’s questions regarding government activity.

For example, the disappearance of 43 university students from Ayotzinapa in 2014 is a topic many citizens still want answers to. It’s more than just silencing journalists, the Mexican government also provides little to no transparency about many of their decisions, which makes reporting accurate facts nearly impossible.

As reported by writer Jan Martínez in an article titled: “Dozens of students disappear after a police attack in México,” for Mexican newspaper El Pais, the students were on their way to Mexico City to commemorate the Tlatelolco massacre — a macabre incident in which an estimated 300 students were killed by police in 1968.

The Ayotzinapa students were ambushed by the police; the authoritative forces wanted to impede the

ance – as am I. Both the public and the family members of the vanished students have not been given any information about the students’ whereabouts or if any are still alive.

As reported in an article titled, “Llama Peña a ‘superar’ el caso Ayotzinapa” by Rosa Vargas for Mexican newspaper La Jornada, Peña Nieto stated in a 2014 speech that it would be easier for him to share his plan to better the country’s economy with a “positive attitude.” He advised the Mexican public to essentially get over the disappearance of the students and “move forward.”

If journalists aren’t able to report freely because politicians are omitting important information to the public, how will citizens know what is going on in the country they call home?

Robledo describes the Mexican government as “apathetic, egoistic and egocentric which leads to corruption.

Politicians aren’t worried about the consequences that may come from their illicit acts, what they do care about is nobody finding out about them — that’s where censor-

ship comes in and freedom of speech ends.”

In Mexico, freedom of the press and freedom of expression are limited as a result of the monopolization of power initiated by politicians and those involved in organized crime.

“It is known that much of the public officials in [the Mexican state of] Coahuila have or had something to do with the [organized crime] Zetas,” Robledo said. “[But] our responsibility is to practice journalism with social interest and not political.”

If only government officials were to refrain from filling their bank accounts with the country’s money and instead generate more employment opportunities with better pay, less people would be forced to take part in criminal activity for dire pay which, in turn, leads to the murders of journalists in the nation.

What is currently happening in Mexico is everyone’s issue since it affects people within the country and even other countries. While these things don’t change, there is no other choice but to fight against the government and the organized crime by making their crimes public, because even if they kill us, the truth won’t be silenced.

en la corrupción.”

Robledo concluye diciendo que “[a los funcionarios de gobierno] No les preocupa las consecuencias que pueden traer los actos ilícitos que comenten, lo que su le importa es que nadie se entere, y es ahí cuando entra la censura y en donde choca la libertad de expresión.”

En México tristemente la libertad de expresión y de prensa son limitadas muchas veces por el crimen organizado y por políticos.

“Se sabe que buena parte de los funcionarios públicos en Coahuila tienen o tuvieron algo que ver con los Zetas,” comenta Robledo. “[Pero] nuestra responsabilidad es ejercer el periodismo con interés social y no al político.”

De acuerdo al CPJ, el 76 por ciento de los asesinatos a periodistas son hechos por el crimen organizado, seguido del 30 por ciento por corrupción y el 24 por ciento por política.

Como ética profesional, la primer obligación de un periodista es la verdad y esto implica decirle a los ciudadanos lo que está ocurriendo en el

país.

Por lo tanto, por que tendría un periodista que limitarse al decir la verdad o cuidarse la espalda después de hacer una denuncia pública? Es una injusticia ser asesinado por cumplir con tu trabajo.

Todo se volvió un círculo vicioso en donde no se sabe cual es la entrada y cual es la salida.

Quizá si los jefes de gobierno dejarán pensar en sí mismos y en cómo llenar sus cuentas bancarias con dinero del pueblo, quizá si hicieran realmente su trabajo y generarán más empleos con mejor pago, habría menos personas con la necesidad de hacer dinero fácil.

Estos sucesos es algo que nos concierne a todos cómo sociedad y a ciudadanos de otros paises que tambien son afectados por el crimen organizado.

Mientras estas cosas no cambien, no queda de otra más que pelear en contra del gobierno y el crimen organizado informando al pueblo, porque ni aunque nos maten, callaran la verdad.

2016 STANDINGS | WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL BIG WEST GAMES

ALL GAMES

By Monica Gallardo Staff Writer

The Long Beach State women’s volleyball team suffered its first Big West loss to UC Irvine Friday, but bounced back to sweep UC Davis Saturday at Walter Pyramid.

The 49ers’ (15-8, 9-1) nine-game win streak came to an end when UC Irvine (10-14, 5-5) gave them their first loss in Big West play. LBSU maintained control at the beginning of the game and took set one 25-19, but then committed 11 errors and saw their hitting percentage drop from .370 to .125 in set two. The 49ers managed to get the 29-27 win, but could not complete the sweep as the Anteaters took set three 25-20.

While the Anteaters gained momentum after intermission, the 49ers continued to watch their hits get blocked and their passes fly off their arms and into the seats. LBSU had 13 errors and made just 9 kills on 44 attempts in set four, giving UCI the 25-17 win.

UCI then completed the comeback win in an unconventional manner that led to the 49ers calling for a protest.

“In the beginning of the fifth set, [the referee] pulled out his yellow card and then put it back, so we assumed we didn’t get it,” LBSU head coach Brian Gimmillaro said.

The 49ers unknowingly received two yellow cards for arguing calls before Gimmillaro was served a red card. This led to UCI gaining the final point and winning the fifth set 15-12 and taking the match 3-2.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association will now determine whether or not the game will

be replayed.

The 49ers later regrouped and looked like a first place team again when they hosted UC Davis (12-11, 5-5) Saturday night.

After showing their dominance and sending the Aggies to the bench for two timeouts early in the first set, the 49ers nearly lost control and played tug-of-war with the lead. Tied at 16, an ace serve by defensive specialist Kobi Pekich and defense from middle blocker YiZhi Xue led to a 25-19 win for the 49ers.

Set two quickly went in favor of the 49ers as they started off with a 6-0 run and allowed just five kills from UC Davis. LBSU took the set 2511 and completed the sweep in set three by a

score of 25-23.

Barber had a team-high 18 kills and Xue hit .692 throughout the game.

“It was a crucial win. We’re still in the hunt for a conference championship,” Barber said. “It was a good bounce back.”

The 49ers host Cal State Fullerton (6-17, 1-8) Tuesday at 7 p.m., but are preparing for their upcoming match at Hawai’i (16-5, 9-1), with whom they share first place.

The Rainbow Warriors fell to the 49ers in a five-set thriller on Oct. 8 at the Pyramid.

For the Long Beach State women’s soccer team, its Big West Tournament berth hopes came down to the final game, but the 49ers punched their ticket with a 1-0 win over UC Santa Barbara Sunday at George Allen Field.

It took extra effort in the second half by junior forward Tori Bolden to get a penalty kick for the 49ers, which set up junior forward Ashley Gonzales with a chance to score and take the lead.

“I just got the ball and just wanted to get around her [defender], break it to the end line and she did and we got the penalty kick.” said Bolden.

Gonzales delivered on the penalty get as the 49ers (8-6-4, 4-1-3) defeated the Gauchos (11-6-2, 2-5-1) on Senior Day. LBSU honored five seniors during the event: goalkeeper Cynthia Diaz, goalkeeper Ashton McKeown, defender Mimi Akaogi, midfielder Celeste Dominguez and midfielder Mimi Rangel.

“It’s very bittersweet for sure, but I’m glad it’s not over,” Rangel said. “We all went into this game that we couldn’t lose and that was the mentality – that we couldn’t lose because we are hosting the tournament at our home and there’s no way we are going to miss out on that.”

The first half was dominated by the 49ers as they had six shots compared to the Gauchos’ two. LBSU didn’t cap-

italize on set pieces, as it had chances in corner kicks and free kicks but couldn’t connect.

The UCSB defensive line held the 49ers’ forwards in check as LBSU was forced into a total of six offsides calls.

Coming off of four consecutive away games, the nerves of 49ers were gone in the second half as both teams pressured each other.

In the 65th minute, Bolden pressured the Gauchos’ defender, leading to a foul inside the box that set up a penalty kick.

Gonzales put it away in the bottom left corner of the net in the 66th minute.

After the goal, LBSU dominated the rest of the game and finished with a total of 13 shots to UCSB’s five.

“I think we played very well, we stuck to the game plan and we stayed very composed,” Dominguez said. “It worked to our advantage, we had complete control of the whole game and we knew we were going to win this game.”

The 49ers’ defense only allowed one corner kick throughout the game.

LBSU head coach Mauricio Ingrassia enjoyed the way the game was played between both teams with pressuring the ball and thought it was entertaining for the crowd.

“It’s at home and I think today was a big test for us,” Ingrassia said. “If you lose today and UC Davis wins you are out. Playing an elimination game like this it’s only a positive when you come out on top.”

Other teams that will also be in the Big West tournament are UC Irvine, CSUN and CSUF. LBSU will look to carry its momentum into the Big West Tournament as host when it plays CSUN Thursday in the Big West Tournament semifinals at 5 p.m. at George Allen Field.
