Sam Ervin servin@foghornnews.com Hundreds of students affected by Hurricane Harvey have received financial assistance from to the Del Mar College Foundation, and help is still available. Shortly after the Category 4 storm swept through the region in late August, the Coastal Bend Community Foundation donated $100,000 to a special fund set up to help students recover. That, combined with $20,000 from the Texas Association of Community College and another $6,000 in general donations, allowed the foundation to award grants of between $100 and $500 to 294 students. The Coastal Bend Community Foundation has now donated another $95,000 to help students. With some students forced to find new places to live or work, school became a challenge for many in the fall. “It was just a huge financial burden,” said Mary McQueen, executive director of development at the Del Mar College Foundation. “Everything saved for food, gas and house expenses was used for evacuating, replacing food and hotel/living expenses.” The foundation sent out emails and made calls to students it thought had been affected to let them know help was available. “Our team personally identified and reached out to about 150 students in areas we knew were heavily impacted, because we knew who was registered in those areas and we had their information,” McQueen said. Students had to fill out an application then verify they were in classes. From there, they submitted proof that the hurricane affected them, including pictures of house (See Harvey on Page 3)
The power of science takes full speed in motor race Students from across Texas participate in the competition Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com Chemical engineering students from universities across Texas recently came to Del Mar College to compete in a chemical-powered car competition. Del Mar and Texas A&M University-Kingsville co-hosted the Southwest Region AIChE Chem-ECar competition March 31 in the Emergency Training Building on West Campus. The event brought out chemical engineering teams from the University of Houston, Texas Tech and others to spark an interest for DMC students in the field the same way A&M-Kingsville chemical engineering major David Juarez was inspired. “As a chemical engineer, I thought this would be a good opportunity for me,” Juarez said of the competition, which challenges students to build vehicles powered by chemical reactions.

I thought it was much similar to this,” Juarez said. Maverick Weidman, a mechan-
ical engineering major from Texas Tech, got into designing Chem-ECars while attending an organiza-
tion fair to work with cars, but in a different way from what most do in that particular field. “I went to the chemical engineering car booth and signed up for it two years ago and here I am,” Weidman said. Texas Tech’s Chem-E-Car, titled Tortilla Power, came in first. Weidman said his experience in working on robotics back in high school helped aid his team to victory while learning something in the process. “There’s a culture that comes with events like this, and it taught me that culture and how to participate in it,” he said. The event also brought out chemical engineers from Prairie View A&M University to compete in this competition for the first time since 2006. “We wanted to represent our university in a way we knew how, with chemical engineering,” said Elyse Hebert, Prairie View A&M chemical engineering major. This was Hebert’s first time in working in Chem-E-Cars and although they didn’t place, she added this was a learning experience. “We have some new ideas forming at the moment so we’re going to come back next year better than ever,” she said.

Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com Del Mar College’s Early Learning Club set out to give children a “gesture of hope” for its ninth annual teddy bear drive. By the time it was done, that gesture had been repeated hundreds of times. The Early Learning Center donated over 575 bears and stuffed animals to the American Red Cross to benefit children affected by disaster. “Last year, Hurricane Harvey hit and because it hit our area, it means more to us,” said Renee Torres, president of the Early Learning Club. She added that the purpose of the drive was to help children and families who have lost everything in recent disasters, including Harvey. “It is important that these stuffed animals are given to a child that has suffered a tragedy in their lives,” said Debra Murphy-Luera, executive director of the American Red Cross. She added that giving a stuffed animal to a family in need is their way of saying that the community is there for them. Murphy-Luera was more than pleased to see the numerous donations that came in after their donations from last year had been depleted. “Seeing the smiles of the people ... there’s a sense of pride in the program continuing the tradition,” she said. Once the Red Cross volunteers help sort out the donated stuffed animals, they are sent to be handed off to a family in need after the disaster. “We have our disaster action team members to meet with families individually after a disaster where they

Gabriella Ybarra gybarra@foghornnews.com Del Mar College journalism students attended the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association Conference in Dallas to compete head to head with colleges all over the state, bringing home a total of 50 awards including Two Year College Reporter of the Year. The annual spring event features competitions and live contests in newspaper, general magazine, radio and television. TIPA, which is the oldest college press association in the nation, honors students from across Texas who have a passion for the free press. Many of the students who received awards are reporters for the Foghorn News. Together the staff won first place in Headline Writing, Overall Newspaper Design and Special Edition Design. Students won a total of 11 first place awards, 13 second place awards, 13 third place awards and 12 honorable mentions. Among the most notable winners was dual-credit student Mia Estrada, who was named Two Year College Reporter of the Year. Estrada is the first dual credit student to win the award. “It’s very rewarding to win Reporter of the Year. I didn’t think I’d be nominated,” Estrada said. “I plan to spend the rest of my career and life dedicated to the art of writing and the truth. I’m proud to be a new writer. I want to share the stories of others.” Also among the winners was Josselyn Obregon, a Spanish reporter for the Foghorn News, who placed in several Spanish-related competitions. “You just want everyone to do great because not only are they your co-workers but they are your friends,” said Foghorn Editor-and-Chief Mark Young. “For some of them, this is what they want to do with their lives, so it’s nice to see that they are making headway on that.” Young won the first place award for General News Story. Publications Assistant Scott Beckett, who works with the Foghorn students in the journalism lab, was also recognized at the conference, being named Adviser of the Year. “To be able to work with the next generation of journalists, to see the passion they bring to every story, is exciting. It’s the same feeling that I try to bring to work every day,” Beckett said.

Social work club marches at the Capitol Del Mar group joins others from colleges across the state Julieta Hernandez jhernandez@foghornnews.com Noe Ruiz, a first-year Social Work Student Association member, was in for a long ride to Austin with high hopes and great intent. During his first visit with the Del Mar club to Student Day at the Legislature in Austin, Ruiz and six other students got to experience their passion for social justice with a community of students who are fighting for the same causes. On March 26, the group joined universities from all over Texas to hear a panel of social work advocates, join in group activities and rally to the Capitol with signs to speak at a podium about issues we face as a society. Systematic racism, poverty, gun reform, homeless veterans and immigration were among the topics discussed. “It’s just helping others, and making a difference. I got involved because I’m a veteran,” Ruiz said as he marched to the Capitol. “This helps me out with all the problems that I’ve got; it’s an escape. It helps me become more comfortable with myself.” The University of Texas at Austin hosts this event every other year in the Shirley Bird Perry Ballroom, but it was Del Mar’s first time showing up. Del Mar was the only two-year college among bachelor-level universities such as Baylor University, Texas State University, UT and many others. “The Capitol doesn’t really ‘know’ what social workers do,” said Will Francis, government relations director for the Texas Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers and one of the panel speakers of the event. He encouraged students to push change to their legislative officials on a local and state levels. “In reality, you have the right to talk to anyone,” Francis told the crowd. (Registration from Page 1) From April 2-5, the Student Enrollment Center held Registration Rallies for students to meet with financial aid and the advising staff. Students were able to receive assistance with the registration process. The events included fun activities, snacks and door prizes. Students who provided proof of registration received a free Del Mar T-shirt. “I’m registering for my classes early so I don’t have to wait in line for the second summer session,” said culinary arts major Melissa Villegas-Lopez, who was at the rally. “I also want to jump ahead in my classes, so I can knock out whatever I need for my degree.” If students do decide to register at the last minute, it’s important to be mindful of all the deadlines. “Deadlines for early on-campus and online registration for the fall semester is available until 6:30 p.m. July 11,” liberal arts adviser Debbie Ann Salazar said. For any questions about registration or admission, contact the Student Enrollment Center at 361698-1290.

It was very heartwarming.” Since we are now past the critical point of the hurricane, the remaining funds will be used specifically to help pay for and keep students in school. “Helping these students just falls into what the Del Mar College Administration’s mission is, removing the financial barrier. Our whole goal is to empower students to reach their academic goals,” McQueen said. If you or anyone you know has been affected by Harvey and is still struggling, visit the foundation’s section at delmar.edu to apply for the Hurricane Harvey Assistance Fund. You must be enrolled for summer or fall classes to receive funds.

Social Work Student Association members Maricela Huerta and Yvette Reyes hold up signs during the March 26 rally. This was the first year Del Mar was present in the Student Day at the Legislature in Austin. The Del Mar team had been preparing for the event all month, including making signs and T-shirts that read, “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” by Gandhi on the back. After listening to the panel speakers and asking questions, students gathered outside to march to the Capitol where they and officials took turns giving three-minute speeches about select issues. The crowd was made up of Austin residents and hundreds of college students from around Texas. The club not only sustained the Austin heat to attend this event, but had also been fundraising for months prior through multiple bake sales and a Valentine’s Day raffle, according to Imani More, who has been with the club since last year. “We got a feel of what really goes on for social work,” Moore said. “We got to talk to the other kids at bachelor programs to know what to expect.”

Campus offers healthy and tasty new options
From Foghorn News staff news@foghornnews.com
Realizing you skipped breakfast when you pull up to campus isn’t as scary as it was once was, even as a follower of specific dietary needs. As a busy college student with limited time and in need of brain food, the best tasting food I can eat is one I’m not making any dietary sacrifices or having to leave the comfort of my own campus for. Recently, Del Mar added extra options to Campus Dining that are able to be enjoyed by anyone of any diet. JULIETA HERNANDEZ During lunchtime in between classes, I went down to the East Campus cafeteria, where cook David M. Roberts introduced me to the new additions they’ve cooked up at the taco corner. On a flour tortilla, I ordered a mixture of vegan Puerto Rican style rice, black beans and sauteed seasoned vegetables. While speaking with Roberts, I learned that all of the ingredients in these foods were not only vegan, but also gluten free. Without having to worry about what ingredients were in it, I enjoyed my vegan burrito without feeling like I had to compromise on my dietary choices. Although all the fillings had a unique flavor, I especially enjoyed the rice; it had a blend of seasonings (one of them being turmeric, Roberts mentioned) that reminded me of the Spanish rice you’d find on

Campus Dining has been working on new healthier options. your plate at your tia’s house: homey, inviting and authentic. A lot of planning must have gone into these ingredients to create its well-rounded taste. A lot of what went into my burrito was focused on whole foods, according to Roberts. It was a guiltfree burrito that had an effortlessly healthy feel, even though I felt like I was indulging. Now I’m no burrito connoisseur, but this is one for the books. It had an authentic taco truck taste — except, not even a taco truck would have vegan and glu-
ten-free options. When I found out about Del Mar’s strive to offer healthier and more dietary inclusive choices in its dining options, I felt listened to as a student. What comes with the growing trend of vegan and vegetarian diets among younger generations is more college students being left out of options when it comes to when they can and can’t eat on their campuses. In addition to the meatless rise among millenials, there are some students or faculty who may follow a specific
diet for personal or religious reasons. When college campuses take the time to cater to those additional needs of their students, it helps create a more satiated student body and learning environment. Rating: 5/5 JONATHAN GARCIA Before heading to class, I decided to grab a bite at Del Mar College’s campus dining area rather than go off campus to eat. Each time I’ve eaten on campus, almost everything
there was absolutely delicious, but when I heard that they were adding more vegan friendly options I was curious. I am not a vegan — I love to eat hamburgers, steaks and pretty much anything involving red meat — but I’m always up to try new things. I went up to the back where they serve a select entrée with two sides and asked for the vegan options. I was guided to the Mexican food section where I ordered rice with black beans and some vegetable medley which consisted of squash, bell peppers and zucchini. I had to take into consideration before I ate my meal that previously there weren’t many vegan options at Del Mar besides the salad bar, which can get boring considering there’s many other vegan dishes. So the fact that Campus Dining was doing something about it was cool and the rice and veggies were actually pretty good. I loved the rice as it was flavorful and the beans weren’t hard from sitting there all day in the open. The veggies had a nice texture to them and I love zucchini so it was a given I liked the veggies. As stated before I am not a vegan and won’t go through with being one, but what I ate was delicious and I am eager to see what other options will be offered. For those who are either mildly or strictly vegan, Del Mar’s Campus Dining has got you covered. Rating: 4/5

Way Back When
Strikers demand better working conditions
for the warehousemen, brought the minorities’ attention to the committee, which led to the warehousemen being welcomed in spaces where strikers’ supplies were accessible.
Mia Estrada mestrada@ foghornnews.com
In the 1930s, Corpus Christi was at the forefront of labor strikes, organizing protests and walkouts against unfair working conditions. The city’s dock workers, on Sept. 20, 1935, went on strike in support of strikes being held in other port cities of the American south such as New Orleans, with the workers planning to get recognition from the International Longshoremen Association (ILA). The strikers demanded a coastwide agreement and control over hiring. In the early stages of the campaign, negotiations occurred. The Texas Steamship Men, a striking faction, made a final offer to strikers but the strikers quickly dismissed it as insufficient. Strikers felt there was a lack of communication throughout the ILA-charted unions. While only shortly after the strikes began, shipping companies brought in non-union, or “scab,” workers to replace striking dock workers. By October 1935, the ILA established the first organized walkout of all ports on the Gulf of Mexico. Nearly 7,500 workers at ports from Pensacola to Corpus Christi participated. UNION ATTACKS WORSEN In Corpus Christi, the union strikes got increasingly violent. A man was allegedly killed by a picketer, who is said to have beat him over the head with a brick. Another picketer was

James Allred to call for the Texas Rangers to enter Corpus Christi and take special measures. The Rangers used racial slurs and insults against the strikers based on socioeconomic status, which only worsened the ill-will between strikers and law enforcement, as well as union and nonunion workers. Gilbert Mers, a past longshoremen for Corpus Christi in 1935 and member of the ILA, wrote in his book, “Working the Waterfront: the Ups and Downs of a Rebel Longshoremen,” about the abuse of the Rangers. “The pickets, thus held at gun-
point by the Rangers, watched the provisions for the scabs pass into the port,” Mers wrote. The relationships continued to worsen, which led to Corpus Christi Sheriff William Shelly to deputize special police officers to protect the safety of the longshoremen against the Rangers. Shelly vowed to interfere in the strike when the law was completely broken; however, protesters were hesitant to call police when their lives were threatened. Minorities, such as Latinos and African-Americans, engaged in the Corpus Christi strikes more so than other longshoremen strikes in the ’30s. It is said, according to the Swarthmore College database
on the case of the Corpus Christi longshoremen strikes, that strikers were segregated, with dock workers who could take leadership roles within their own faction rather than if in an integrated environment. Most of the workers identified as minorities who participated in the strikes in Corpus Christi were warehousemen, who were part of a different group of workers than longshoremen. The warehousemen were mainly Mexican or Latino. Being from a different racial group and faction, the warehousemen were uncertain of taking advantage of food supplies and benefits given by the strike committee. Gabriel Cruz, a spokesman
NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN The strike committee began negotiations with independent shipping companies in Houston in December 1935. The strikers found that shipping companies were more compliant to their needs “if negotiations over western ports included a company of strikebreakers called the Houston Buffaloes, being contracted,” according to the Swarthmore College document. However, the longshoremen did not accept the Buffaloes due to them working outside the union and did not participate in the strike, which led the longshoremen to believe they should not be charted by the ILA. The Corpus Christi strikers were worried for the Buffaloes being chartered, the reason being they would not behave like a ILA-charted union because they had not been trained in unionized labor. Eventually, the strike committee accepted for the ILA to charter the Buffaloes, if trained in union work. By Dec. 12, terms had been reached with shipping companies. Wages were not improved and a coastwide agreement was not accomplished, although the workers stressed the ILA’s presence and importance through the eastern ports. This was one of the many union strikes beginning in 1929 with the economic downturn of the Great Depression. @miamiaestrada

'Las Tesoros' film inspires students DMC hosts screening followed by Q&A with filmmakers Erin Garza-Granados egranados@foghornnews.com Del Mar College shared the story of four women and their struggle to make it in the male-dominated mariachi industry for Women’s History Month. The March 28 screening of the award winning documentary “Las Tesoros de San Antonio: A Westside Story”took place in the White Library and was followed by a Q&A with the director Jorge Sandoval and editor/ producer Robb Garcia. “The project was a beautiful and inspiring experience,” Sandoval said of the seven years he spent making the film. The film, which follows the lives of four mariachi women making their mark in history in the 1940s-70s, started in 2009 and debuted in February 2016 at the 39th annual CineFestival. “My intention is to take it to as many schools as possible,” Sandoval said. “These women are trailblazers.”
ENTERTAINMENT
Garcia explained how through his editing process, the bond with these four women was strengthened. “I was asked to be on this team later in the process,” Garcia said. “There were over 1,000 archives to go through and it took over a year and a half to edit.” These four women had remarkable stories of how they entered the mariachi industry. Their ambition was amazing but life had different plans for all of them. Their dreams became dismissed by events beyond their control. After Garcia and Sandoval explored their stories and realized their dreams were yet to be fulfilled, a two-hour concert was put together in San Antonio to showcase the talents of all four women. “The message of the film is that there are both rewards and sacrifices associated with pursuing our talents and goals,”said Elizabeth Flores, professor and Mexican-American Studies program coordinator. Sandoval shared a message with the women in the room. “You can do anything. It’s possible. It’s empowering for everybody,” he said. “We need more women in power.”

'Far Cry 5' offers fun, thrilling gameplay
'A Series of Unfortunate Events' breaks the mold
Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com Ubisoft takes its famous openworld first-person shooter to the lands of Montana to face off against a doomsday cult in “Far Cry 5.” The series has always been known for its unique take on the genre by having each entry have its own storyline while pushing the envelope each time. When the fifth entry was announced, the story of the game spurred a huge controversy as it focused on an extremist doomsday cult that are Christian Americans and called for the villains of the game to be changed to Islamic terrorists. This latest installment manages to rise above its controversy, offering an entertaining title. The game centers around a custom-made protagonist named “The Deputy” and his team going to Hope County, Montana, to bring in preacher Joseph Seed after taking over the town with his cult Project at Eden’s Gate. Things go south as Seed’s followers prevent them from taking in their pastor and The Deputy’s team is captured by the cult. Alongside some allies fighting against Eden’s Gate, The Deputy must fight to take back Hope County and bring down Seed along with his brother John, Jacob and sister Faith to put an end to this crazed cult. The gameplay is a ton of fun as once again Ubisoft proves with this series it knows how to do a first-person shooter right. Each gun feels right and whether you’re us-

You can also customize your weapons, putting special attachments and even decals on your rifle. The open world looks beautiful as you take in the scenery of Montana to its mountains, farmlands and the woods. Leveling up your character has changed this time around as you have to earn “perk points” by completing certain challenges to upgrade your character’s abilities, encouraging the player to seek out these challenges. A new feature added also is the “Guns/Fangs for hire,” which you come across in the game by rescuing hostages and even dogs. The one you will use most is a dog named Boomer, who can sniff out wildlife for you, take down certain enemies with his teeth, and even take an enemy’s gun from him and hand it to you. However, the issues with the game center around the main character you play as The Deputy. Ubisoft tries to switch it up by custom making your character to be male or female, which is an admirable effort, but falls short as the character is silent. We’re in 2018, so there is no excuse when the lead character you’re supposed to get be-

Ubisoft also plans to release special DLC that makes getting the $30 season pass worth it as you get the DLC and “Far Cry 3” free of charge. With many season passes being the norm nowadays in gaming, Ubisoft promises this will be one you want to purchase. “Far Cry 5” manages to be a fun game with great gameplay, co-op, exploration graphics and strong content coming in the future, making this another entertaining entry.

Tye Sheridan stars as Wade Watts, also known as Parzival, in the virtual world the OASIS in Steven Spielberg’s latest film, “Ready Player One.” Based on the novel by Ernest Cline, the film grossed $186.5 million worldwide on its opening weekend.
Fans of ’80s likely to be disappointed with ‘Ready Player One’ Matthew Tamez mtamez@foghornnews.com It’s 2045, and most of humanity uses a virtual universe to escape from the problems of everyday life. “Ready Player One,” a movie adapted from the novel of the same name written by Ernest Cline, is a visual marvel directed and produced by Steven Spielberg. Written by Zak Penn and Cline, it stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn and Simon Pegg. This universe, known as the OASIS, was invented by James Hal-
liday, who dies before the story begins but leaves behind a video stating that he left a virtual Easter Egg hidden within his universe somewhere. The one who finds the Easter Egg will win controlling stock of his company and have complete control over the OASIS, making them the richest human on the planet. Wade Watts (Sheridan) is one of these “Gunters,” an individual looking for the egg. To find the Egg the Gunters need to collect three keys, the first of which is at the finish line to a race no one has been able to complete. However, with the Egg being of extreme economical importance, some people are willing to kill to win the Egg. Unfortunately, while most of
the production went into making convenience. a beautiful movie, it appears to Viewers hoping for a bit of ’80s have come at the nostalgia will find expense of pacit sorely lacking.

This lack of ’80s nostalgia
is a shame as the original novel was a love letter to the decade as a whole. Fans of the original novel likely will find themselves disappointed as well. The movie takes the main plot from the book, but as for individual story beats, few of them are taken from the book. Even the challenges they face to get the keys are all different from the book. The movie falls short in areas it adapts and the original story beats. What it does use for the main story comes of as contrived and cliché at times, including one of the fastest romance subplots I have seen in a rather long time. While “Ready Player One” is a visual spectacle, there isn’t much to see here besides that.
Sex With Mark
Stay safe while hooking up online Mark Young myoung@ foghornnews.com
Online hookups have become a big part of dating culture for young adults, and with that comes the danger of meeting random strangers who you have probably only seen a few pictures of and have only been talking to for less than a week. Many people reading that would probably say, “Why would anyone do that?” But the reality of our day and age is that hookup culture has traveled to the Internet and dating apps have taken over. While meeting someone in person is all nice and fairytale-like, most times, you don’t meet anyone outside of the circle of people you work with or your friends. Dating apps allow you to meet so many people at once and you don’t even have to get out of bed!
Dating apps also offer a way for queer people to meet other queer people, because while queer people look like everyone else, unless you ask you never know if a person is queer. We all have sex, it’s why you’re reading this piece, and hooking up with someone on a dating app is not shameful or embarrassing, but at least make sure you stay safe when doing the do with someone you barely know and don’t become a future plotline for “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.” So it’s a nice, cool Friday night, you’re feeling fresh and a little bit friskier than usual, so you get on Tinder. After swiping through dozens of “not todays” and strange/ clearly fake profiles, you stumble upon a beautiful human. Their profile is nice and funny, they have their Instagram attached to show that they are a true human being and, best of all, they liked you back. You both talk for a decent hour or two and decide that you look too good to not let anyone see
you. You tell them you want to go over and perform a monologue in a robe to help practice for a theater class you took for an easy grade but is a lot more work than you wanted, but at this point if you drop it you won’t graduate. You tell them you are also in the market for having some sex, because it has been too long and you know what you want. They tell you they will get ready and you can come over in 30 minutes. Now the game has begun. After showering and preparing your monologue one last time, you start to worry that this could be your last day on Earth and that this person could murder you. Meeting someone new at their house is a scary thing! First, you should tell a friend or two that you are going to a person’s house, share the address with your friends and arrange a time to check in with your friends so they don’t call the police and file a missing person report. After your friends are aware that you are going to get laid
Faith
Let Jesus help light your path Warren J. Maxwell wmaxwell@ foghornnews.com
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 In life we tend to let our emotions get the better of us, and at the end of the day tend to wonder what our next move is. God wants us to go to him with all of our problems no matter how big or small they might be. When times get tough and life gets the better of us, our lives tend to spiral out of control. It is at that point we must have full faith in God and the eternal promises that he has laid out for us. Even in the darkest of days Jesus’ eternal light still shines
through to help illuminate our lives. Through sadness and depression it’s really important to keep the word of God close to you because it is the only cure for a troubled heart. Whether you’re going through a bad breakup or having a hard time coping with a new transition in your life, God is always there to guide you in the right direction. We make the mistake of assuming that our problems are ours and ours alone, but what we fail to realize is that in fact our problems are God’s because he has already promised to solve them for us. Sadness is a problem that manages to ravage even the purest of hearts. We often can’t understand why certain things in our lives happen and when we are wronged this tends to put a negative feeling in our hearts. When the prophet Job was tested by God he had all of his fortunes taken from him. His
family, his livestock and his health were all taken away by God. Job had suffered tremendously throughout his life, but in the end remained faithful to God and continued to have faith in him throughout it all. But what does this mean? How can we just take all of the pain and suffering that we go through and just look the other way? The answer is simple. We have to realize that when we have periods of sadness and weakness that God is simply testing our faith and our ability to trust in him. God has made it perfectly clear that he will shoulder our burdens and comfort us in our time of need. So despite what you are going through just remember that God will take care of you until the end because it was promised to you in the beginning. @Maxwell_Foghorn
and are subsequently jealous and have since begun swiping on Tinder, you need to gather your materials. Don’t rely on them to have condoms and lube, bring your own! You are strong and independent and while you may not be financially secure, you can never put a price on having a good time and not getting gonorrhea. You nervously pace until the time arrives. You head over to the person’s house and do the weird nervous small-talk before you perform your monologue. Your performance excites and moves them, but it makes you thirsty. You ask for a glass of water and go get it yourself and then begin going over your monologue. One thing leads to another and they make a move on you. However, before you get too into it, you decide to go to the bathroom before you pee all over the other person. When you do, YOU BRING YOUR WATER WITH YOU, because them being into your monologue could be a cruel act and they are secretly trying to drug you.
Never leave your open drink unattended and always make sure that you see them make you a drink if they do, just like in the club. You and this person have sex as you discussed earlier and then you tell them you’d love to perform another monologue for them some time. You head home and call your friend to tell them you’re not behind a dumpster. While not all hookups will go like that, you still can never be too prepared. Be clear with the other person on what you want and if they get too pushy or scare you, don’t be afraid to leave. You don’t owe anyone anything! The last thing you want is for Executive Producer Dick Wolf from “Law and Order: SVU” to find out that you ended up in a dumpster behind Denny’s and then make an episode about you. While the show is fantastic, don’t make it your legacy! @mryoungmark

Editorial
Saving the planet takes teamwork, commitment As Earth seemingly falls apart more and more, we all need to be doing our part to help preserve the resources that we have. Being a school, DMC no doubt sees a large amount of paper and boxes flow through its campuses. The large amount of recyclable materials are no doubt being wasted as they are used once and then thrown away to be taken to the dump for seagulls to poop on and slowly rot in a mountain of trash. Recycling seems like a mundane thing, but it will be essential if we want to keep our planet clean. Americans create almost 200 million tons of garbage each year, according to DoSomething.org, of which the EPA estimates 70 percent can be recycled. We only recycle about 30 percent. Del Mar does some recycling. Professors Jim and Teresa Klein in Heritage Hall have boxes in the classrooms that they clean out and recycle themselves. Other than that, Del Mar recycles equipment in certain programs such as recycling oil, grease, select plastics and more, but should expand and recycle more. There is no widespread recycling for paper or other materials that the city commonly recycles. Del Mar should find a way to increase recycling and students should participate. However, students will also have to help out with this process. Many just haphazardly throw away trash without putting it in the proper bins. If recycling cans were set up, students would have to make sure that no food or other nonrecyclable materials get in. Corpus Christi already has a recycling program that accepts various papers, plastics and metals. However, when the plastic or paper is dirtied by food or the paper gets wet, the material can no longer be recycled. Recycling in our area is also important because of our vicinity to the Gulf of Mexico and the wildlife that surrounds us. Plastic is much more likely to find its way into the ocean or
Emily Jasso/Foghorn News
In what ways would you improve the recycling habits here at Del Mar? “Maybe start setting up fliers around so people read them and to start spreading the word around.” — Ryan Trevino, liberal arts
“I would say that maybe we should have more recycling bins around campus.” — Dustin Coronan, pharmacy “They have the recycling bins facing the walls so people just throw their food into the bin. So I think that they should face the recycling bins the correct way.” — Eliz Hernan, medical lab technician “Probably not drink so many water bottles, and maybe carry a water jug, which I have but don’t use. Stop throwing things in the trash and throw them into the actual recycling bin.” — Anna Anneler, liberal arts
into our drinking water. It isn’t also like Corpus Christi has had perfectly clean drinking water. Widespread recycling isn’t the only thing that can be done to keep Corpus Christi, and in turn the planet, cleaner. The college could change paper towels in the bathroom with air dryers that are not only cleaner, but are better for the environment. Some restrooms have these at Del Mar, but it is not the standard. Being more environmentally friendly can also find its way into the classroom, as technology classes could work on more environmentally friendly applications while science classes or clubs could sponsor events highlighting ways to be more pro-environment. DMC could hold a contest for clubs to clean up litter and trash in and around Corpus Christi, with the prize being more funds for their club. Helping the environment doesn’t mean having to entirely upend the college. There are ways for everyone to make positive changes that only take a little time. The Earth is not getting better. Every day, more and more stories are coming out about how humans are negatively impacting the planet to the point of no return. Just be a little smarter about your trash, because if you don’t, you yourself are trash.

“Well I don’t know about you, but I drink a lot of water. I go through about eight water bottles a day. One way to help the environment is to get a water jug rather than just wasting it on water bottles.” — Tatiana Estanislao, nursing “I usually carry a water jug and refill it every day, so I usually don’t use that many water bottles throughout the week. I think kids and adults should use the same water bottle throughout the week.” —Robert Johnson, radio/television
“Make the bins more noticeable because we have these big black trash cans and they’re fully noticeable. But it is kind of hard for the small blue bins facing the wrong way. It’s kind of difficult.” — Diego Montana, radio/television
“I guess don’t be lazy about it, because some people like to litter around, and they don’t pay attention to the labels they’re seeing.” — Jason Jimeney, digital media

Some of the many countries represented were Greece, Taiwan, Brazil and the Ukraine. The March 28 event included informational tables displaying the variety of foods, traditions and artifacts specific to each country’s culture. Many of the tables offered free food and sweets to passing students, such as the table for Cozumel, Mexico, which gave out Cachedas, a Mexican lollipop candy.

Lignou displayed photos of the Greek Parthenon, a historical religious temple in Athens, the capital of Greece, and the Syntagma Square, the central town gathering place in the heart of Athens. “My home island of Karpathos is very small, but I put all the traditions on my display because it’s important that we keep these traditions; it’s very hard,” Lignou said. “Among the Greek traditions, dance and the songs we sing mean the most to me.” The ESOL program, which organized the event, offers classes to students born in other countries who are looking to improve their spoken, written and grammatical English.
