OUR VIEW: Is gender neutral housing for all? Cal State Long Beach will be introducing gender-neutral housing for the ¿UVW WLPH WKLV IDOO Director of Housing and Residential Life Carol Roberts-Corb said that a limited number of spaces at Beachside College will be reserved for the gender-neutral housing, which will be provided to students who request special accommodations on their housing application. Students interested in the genderneutral housing can select a new option on their housing application. To complete the request, students must DOVR ¿OO RXW D VXSSOHPHQWDO OLFHQVH agreement before being assigned the room. Roberts-Corb said the genderneutral dorms will not be physically labeled in effort to create a safe and comfortable environment for all students. These changes come after the introduction of 11 gender-neutral restrooms came to campus in September. We aren’t really surprised, as gender-neutral dorms seem to be the next step. CSULB is one of many campuses across the U.S. that has or will make gender-neutral housing available, including San Diego State and the University of California, Riverside. The introduction of gender-neutral bathrooms on campus sparked a discussion about providing genderneutral housing back in September, GXULQJ WKH ¿UVW FOLPDWH FRPPLWWHH meeting for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex students on campus. DJ Elders, former Associated Students, Inc. Secretary for LGBTQI Affairs, said, “there’s been several
students who had to ask, ‘Hey, can I have another LGBT student, speFL¿FDOO\ D WUDQVJHQGHU VWXGHQW >DV D roommate?],’” during the September meeting. Seven months later, we’re excited to see the progress CSULB has made. Both restrooms and housing are extremely important in creating a comfortable environment for the student, or any individual for that matter. Although we have been given a little bit of information about the change in housing, we are proud to see our campus going in this direction. And we’re also curious to see how this will all pan out in March, when housing applications are made available. Although the details are still being worked out, we do have a few questions: What exactly does gender neutral mean? Is this for all students, regardless of gender or sexual orientation? :H XQGHUVWDQG WKDW LW¶V GH¿nitely an improvement for LGBTQI students and that it is of the utmost importance for students to live comfortably and safely, but we need to know what the university means by “gender neutral.” Can anyone apply for gender-neutral housing? How does the acceptance process work and how many students will be accepted? If there is a limited number of rooms, not all students are given the opportunity to choose a roommate based on gender. The limited amount of space available concerns us and we just hope everony student who requests a room
can get one. We also wonder where the line for gender neutral is drawn. There may be students who want to live with the opposite sex, would this

details, everything will clear up. Maybe it’s just the title that confuses us, but ultimately, we would like all students to feel safe and comfortable, whatever that entails.

The death of cursive in grade schools By Paige Pelonis Contributing Writer
In elementary school I learned to write in cursive. Now in college, I don’t even buy pens as a school supply because I type everything. Thank goodness that’s the case, or else no one would be able to read my work! But, this brings up a pretty common, though fairly useless, debate: should students in the U.S. public elementary school system still be taught to write in cursive? There is merit in the supposition that cursive writing is of absolutely no use in the practical world, where most tasks are completed via type. Logically, it follows that a shift toward technological education should take precedent. On the other hand, there are those who feel that learning to write in curVLYH LV D PDMRU EHQH¿W WR FRJQLWLYH brain development in children. For instance, the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) came out with a Policy Update in September 2012, in which they presented evidence that supports the aforementioned claim. The NASBE report opens with the
explanation that the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) lack guidelines for cursive handwriting. In fact, the CCSS are structured to emphasize keyboard skills instead. The CCSS are a result of an effort led by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council RI &KLHI 6WDWH 6FKRRO 2I¿FHUV (CCSSO), So naturally, when states began adopting the CCSS in 2010, the debate of whether or not to include handwriting standards slowly developed among members of state education boards. Indiana State Senator Jean Leising was said to the INDYSTAR that she agrees with the assertion that cursive writing improves motor skills, memory and brain development. The article implies that it is for that reason that she has successfully convinced her state’s Senate to advance a bill that requires the public education system in the state to teach students to write in cursive. Indiana is one of a handful of states — along with California, Georgia, Alabama and Massachusetts — mentioned in the NASBE update as having
Last December, NPR ran a report that detailed the results of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The report explained the latest assessment from 2012, which found that U.S. high school students ranked below average in math, though they were close to average in reading and science. Bringing it back to our worthless debate: If American Facebook students are performing better fought to keep handwriting standards in reading than they are in math, then LQ WKHLU VWDWHV SHU WKH VSHFL¿FDWLRQV why would we worry about teaching of the CCSS for allowing states to them cursive? incorporate some of their own stanClearly math literacy is the subject dards. that needs more attention, not literacy The CCSS Initiative wesbite home itself. page explains that the goal is to betI think a more productive conversater prepare students once they enter tion would be to talk about requiring college courses and the work force.

of a relationship to brain development in order to justify an emotional waste of time. For example, North Carolina’s “Back to Basics” bill, signed into law in 2013, requires all students in the state’s public education system to learn to write pro¿FLHQWO\ LQ FXUVLYH E\ WKH HQG RI WKHLU ¿IWK JUDGH \HDU :K\" In an article released by the Today Show, North Carolina State Rep. Patricia Hurley, who co-sponsored the bill, said she received many thank-you notes from fourth grade students printed from computers. “It struck me as strange that they weren’t writing ... It was like these kids weren’t educated.” In other words, her fundamental, perhaps somewhat sentimental, attachment to the old-fashioned writing style drove the state to add the cursive element to the already rigorous and complex Common Core State Standards. Yes, I do know how to write in cursive. Yes, I use it more than I use ordinary hand-writing. But, given the choice between that and typing, for a professional document, I would choose a keyboard. Typing is faster, cleaner, and easier to transport. Now let’s talk about math.
