Family Weekend to bring new traditions Fortuna Bowl, sports events, fun to allow families space for bonding BY TESS SCHOONHOVEN NEWS EDITOR
Juliana Bontrager | Banner
California Baptist University’s Parent and Family Weekend, will take place Nov. 10–11 and features new activities as well as timeless traditions. In the past, the weekend has been the celebration of the university’s homecoming with Fortuna Bowl, the intramural women’s and men’s flag football teams championship. However, this year campus staff decided to move homecoming weekend to the spring semester and create a new event for students called Parent and Family Weekend. The three-day event will reach out to the parents and families of current students as well as alumni to bring them on campus and experience some of the best activities CBU has to offer. Tyler Cox, recreation coordinator for the Office of Community Life, said the presence of parents during this weekend is a new concept for the school. “We didn’t have a parent’s weekend on campus before,” Cox said. “So the Parent-Alumni Relations Office decided this would be a good weekend to have parent’s weekend. So now it’s parents and family weekend featuring Fortuna Bowl.” Cox said Friday will be activ-
ities for parents such as tours, lunch and the first basketball games. Saturday includes a breakfast, more tours, an afternoon basketball game and Fortuna Bowl in the evening. The weekend will also feature a fireworks show after Fortuna Bowl and, for the first time after the games, a concert with contemporary Christian artist Kings Kaleidoscope. Cox said the original reason of why Fortuna Bowl was connected with homecoming weekend was because the attendance was outgrowing the Van Dyne Gymnasium. CBU staff said they wanted to reconnect homecoming weekend with a large event on campus, and they saw the next logical event to be Fortuna Bowl. Community Life staff said they still wanted an event connected to Fortuna Bowl so they created the Parents and Family Weekend. “Homecoming grew because of Fortuna Bowl and Fortuna Bowl grew because of homecoming,” Cox said. “Now we have a new Events Center. It’s big enough to hold that amount of people and so the university made the decision, ‘Hey, let’s pair homecoming back with an athletics event.’” Parents of students received an email inviting them to the event for $10. Students are encouraged to begin signing up their parents as soon as possible because space is limited. Students will get into the basketball games, the Friday night pre-party and Fortuna Bowl for free. Games and food trucks will be available on the Front Lawn starting at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday and the women’s flag football game will start at 5:30 p.m., with the men’s game
immediately following. “It will be fun to get a ton of people on campus,” Cox said. “It’s fun when there’s that buzz around an event.” Libby Otten, sophomore communication disorders major and intern for Comm unity Life, said this event measures up to Midnight Madness, which will take place Nov. 5, as one of Community Life’s biggest events of the year. “Students should look forward to free giveaways, food trucks, the fireworks show and halftime show,” Otten said. “This is our biggest event so we expect a big turnout.”

The annual Residence Life Halloween Party enabled students to enjoy Halloween at California Baptist University. The event, hosted Oct. 31 in The Colony Apartments living area, included themed carnival games, face paint, and food as CBU students dressed to impress in Halloween costumes. Residence Life paid tribute to “The Lion King” (1994) during the event, continuing its traditional truck hayride with a movie-themed twist. The hayride showcased residence advisors as they illustrated scenes from “The Lion King.” Residence Life began planning the popular event in April when RAs selected “The Lion King” as the theme. Preparations started at the end of August, and a Residence Life Halloween committee brainstormed and organized
through October. Taylor Rilling, residence director for The Cottages and one of three RDs on the Halloween committee, reflected on the purpose of the event. “Our goal in Rez Life is, like a lot of other offices — to foster community,” Rilling explained. “We work with students who live here on campus, so the goal of the event is to give students an opportunity to come, have fun and be with friends on Halloween on campus.” Rilling said she hoped the event would cultivate community and provide the opportunity to simply have a good time. “Ultimately, I hope students feel connected to campus and to their RA,” Rilling said. “The event is also a really cool thing for RA staffs to do together as it helps bond and build their community as well. ” Abbie Scroggins, junior

Hollywood Teen pageant was to bring awareness to the importance of education and how things you do in high school can affect your future opportunities. Janella Garcia sees her title as a way she can bring awareness to the importance of education and how things you do in high school can affect your future. Janella said she sees her title as a way she can bring awareness to issues she cares about back home. “I want to be able to have my platform be about education, bullying, self-confidence — more than one thing. Everyone thinks you have the sash, photo shoots, looking good, but there’s so much more to that,” Janella Garcia said. “So many people look up to you as a role model and it has allowed me to really show what means a lot to me.” After winning Miss Hollywood, Garcia said she got one “cheat meal,” In-N-Out, and was then immediately set up with a personal trainer and sponsorships by local busi-

so I enjoyed the event,” Scroggins said. “My roommate is also an RA and was a giraffe for a skit, so I got to support her. ” Rilling said all RA staff dedicate time to prepare for scenes by making costumes, assembling games and food and planning skits for students to view during the hay ride.
Rebecca Boyd, sociology and psychology double major and resident adviser in The Cottages, shared her excitement for the annual event. “It’s a time where residents and commuters can come to campus on Halloween night and just enjoy a big party and fun alternative for Hallow-
een,” Boyd said. “Community is built by food, so the event includes free candy and food. It also gives students an opportunity to see their RAs, RDs and classmates in a different light. You’re all just hanging out, laughing, playing games, and enjoying the Halloween festivities.”
nesses supporting her platform and was required to stay up-to-date on current events and happenings within the community. She said she is excited for this upcoming pageant because of the independence she has with decisions within the competition. “I feel like so much more myself this year,” Janella Garcia said. “I have so much more impact on the decisions: What I’ll be wearing, how I’m presenting myself, my own questions. It’s really me, so I’m excited.” Janella Garcia started partitcipating in pageants four years ago in response to her older sister, Giselle Garcia, who began doing pageants before Janella Garcia started to notice the positive impact the pageants were making on her (sister). “(Giselle) started because she wanted to do modeling,” Janella Garcia said. “From there, I saw how she grew and how she really blossomed. Her speaking skills were better and her confidence was better. It was amazing and I knew that I wanted to have that same experience of growing as a per-
son. It’s definitely helped me in more than one way, not just my confidence but also my speaking skills have excelled.” A typical pageant for Janella Garcia includes a lot of preparation, ranging between working out to practicing questions. Pageants can be about two days in length covering interviews with judges, the runway walk with two different outfits and progressing into final rounds, which repeats the previous format with less competitors. The final round focuses on the top-five competitors who are asked questions live on stage. Janella Garcia said pageants have helped her personally grow in many ways but she has also seen pageants improve skills, such as interviewing, in other contenders as well. In each pageant, she is interviewed about her personality, ways she serves her community, and who she is as a person. Janella Garcia said explaining those facets of herself to others in a short, three-minute time period has been a stretching, but helpful, experience. “(Pageants) allow you to really formulate your opinions
in a short amount of time and get your point across on the message you want to show,” Janella Garcia said. In addition to interviewing skills, pageants have caused her to become more involved in her community by serving in ways she would not have been involved before. Janella Garcia said the service she has done because of pageants has helped her become a more well-rounded person — happy and eager to serve others without getting anything in return. “I’ve done community service for cancer organizations,” Janella Garcia said. “Then my great-grandmother got diagnosed with cancer and now when I go to the events, I have more of a purpose and a reason to be there because I have experience with it.” Janella Garcia said the biggest way she has grown is in her self-confidence. “I’ve learned that I love myself for who I am,” Janella Garcia said. “As cliché as it sounds, we all have different bodies and you have to learn to really accept yourself and that really comes into play with your confidence.”

Riverside County’s second annual Costume Walk took place Oct. 28. The walk was sponsored by Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey as part of “Walktober” Month. More than 60 people attended the event to meet the mayor, get some exercise in a family-friendly environment, and show their holiday spirit with creative costumes. After a poll on Facebook, the community decided Mayor Bailey’s costume would be Woody from the “Toy Story” franchise. The event featured a five-mile hike up Mount Rubidoux led by Mayor Bailey. Bailey said he wanted to emphasize the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle and being able to better communicate with the community. “We want to encourage ‘fit, fresh and fun’ which is our motto to encourage a healthier lifestyle,” Bailey said.

The community also promotes this lifestyle with similar events, including visiting the local farmer’s markets and visiting community gardens.

Career fair brings jobs to students BY OLIVIA QUEBE
ASST. NEWS EDITOR The Career Center is made available to students to help them feel confident as they make the transition out of college. The Fall Career Fair, sponsored by the Career Center of California Baptist University, took place Oct. 25 in the Recreation Center with 104 companies represented at the fair. This event gave students the opportunity to network with companies from all across southern California. Lisa Singer, associate director of employer relations at the Career Center, organized the event and said her hope every year is to bridge the relationship between employers and students. “I have the privilege of not only working with employers but also students so I get to broker that and be the liaison,” Singer said. “I build a relationship with employers whether it takes one year, two years or three years so they have the opportunity of stepping onto our campus and meeting strong candidates.” It offers opportunities throughout the year to help prepare students for events like the Career Fair with résumé workshops, a list of the employers attending, and a free rental of professional garments for students. “My job is over once an employer meets our students,”
Singer said. “I don’t have to try any longer because of the caliber of students who are coming out of CBU. Time after time we are hearing from employers about how the caliber of students here is absolutely amazing.” Mary Brannon, junior nursing major, attended the Career Fair for the first time this year because she said it was time for her to start thinking about her future after college. “The Career Fair is helpful because getting a job is a critical element to having an income to pay bills,” Brannon said. “I have been looking at companies that I’m not really interested in because I’m trying to build confidence to talk to people who I’m trying to impress.” One of the companies that have consistently been a part of the Career Fair is Target. Billy Jones, CBU alumnus and representative of Target, said the company keeps coming back because of the quality of students applying for jobs. “The talent pool we get from this campus is unlike other ones, not only from the background they bring but the ethics that they learn on this campus go a long way and really relate to what we’re really driving as a company for Target,” Jones said. “A lot of people don’t know about the jobs we offer at Target and it gives the students an opportunity to see not only our company but all the companies

character is far more profitable.” Singer said she hopes that students will take into consideration the time and money put into their education and take every opportunity to get in front of an employer. The next Career Fair will be Feb. 21 with 120 companies represented, followed by the Teachers Fair and the Nurses Fair. To prepare for the event, the Career Center will offer the list of employers and résumé workshops for students interested in the opportunity.

Lifestyle Tries: No-bake chocolate lasagna dessert BY VICTORIA PAUL LAUREN SAWDEY LIFESTYLE EDITOR ASST. LIFESTYLE EDITOR If chocolate is the dessert of choice, then this no-bake lasagna is sure to hit the spot. All one needs to create this chocolate lovers’ paradise is 1 package of Oreo cookies, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 brick of cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 3 1/4 cups milk, 1 tub of Cool Whip, 2 packages of in-
stant chocolate pudding and a bag of mini-chocolate chips. • To begin, butter the dish the lasagna will be in and set it aside. • Start removing the inside filling of the Oreo Cookies and place in a bag to be crushed. • Once the cookies are crushed, place them at the bottom of the dish, to serve as the crust or base of the dish. • In another bowl, whip the cream cheese until it is fully
whipped and add 2 tablespoons of milk and sugar. Mix until all is combined. • Add in half a package of Cool Whip. Then spread the mixture lightly over the crust. • While it is cooling in the fridge for 10 minutes, in a separate bowl, combine the chocolate pudding and cold milk and whisk together until thick. • Spread the pudding mixture lightly over the cream cheese layer and place in the

quired, so one can feel free to eat this cool dessert straight out of the pan. This chocolate lasagna is filled with creamy flavors and different textures that will make the taste buds happy. The recipe looked easy, as most things do on Pinterest, but in real life it was more difficult than expected because of the sheer number of steps involved in making the dessert. It is difficult to follow what
needs to be done when there are so many different actions to be taken. In addition, it can take up to five hours to fully complete. We would not recommend attempting this recipe in a dorm unless your kitchen is straight out of the Food Network stocked with things such as whisks, hand mixers and spreading utensils because without these items it will take twice as long to create the chilled treat.
Students volunteer with Big Brother, Big Sister BY VICTORIA PAUL LIFESTYLE EDITOR
The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences has many service-learning internships students can go through in order to help their community while building their résumés in the process. Many California Baptist University students are choosing to make an impact on today’s youth while gaining future job experience by volunteering their time with Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Inland Empire. “What students don’t know, or many times no one tells them, is that sometimes your admission to graduate school is based more on what you do in addition to your academics than just your GPA,” said Marilyn Moore, associate professor of sociology. Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America is a non-profit organization with a goal to help all children reach their potential through the support of one-on-one relationships with the volunteer mentors as they provide emotional support and supervision to the children. Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Inland Empire started in 2013 with the intent of recognizing the void of not having
a mentoring program in the region. The program has many quality mentoring role models that help more than 600 children each year. “I decided to get involved because I realized that I could be a mentor and share my life experiences with a little girl who maybe hasn’t had adults tell her that she can.

New Midnight Madness venue leaves students excited BY AMBER JACKSON
ASST. LIFESTYLE EDITOR With the basketball season quickly approaching, Midnight Madness will provide the perfect opportunity to stir up excitement among the California Baptist University student body Nov. 5 at 10 p.m. Midnight Madness will take place in the Events Center for the first time and the expecta-
tions for the event are at an alltime high “I expect to meet lots of new people, engage in the community and get hyped for the upcoming basketball season. The Events Center is such a nice building and seems like it’ll be the perfect place to host allschool events like this,” said Brieanna Dillashaw, freshman nursing major. With the dunking and
3-point contests, alongside the school spirit competition, this event is designed to kick off the basketball season. Students can come to the event by wearing their “Crazies” T-shirt or showing they have a ticket. Kristin Holderman, director of campus activities in the Office of Community Life, hinted at some of the benefits of having Midnight Madness in the
Events Center and surprises for students. “There will definitely be some enhancements for Midnight Madness because of the Events Center and there will be a mix of familiarity from previous years as well as some brand-new activities. However, we want the students to witness these first-hand at the event, so I cannot disclose the new additions,” Holderman said.
With basketball being one of CBU’s most renowned sports, the season will draw attention. Jordan Gonzalez, freshman business major and guard for men’s basketball, said he thinks the event will be a success. “Midnight Madness will be a good way to show the talent of this year’s team, as we’ve put a lot of hard work and effort into our skills and playing compatibility,” Gonzalez said. Hopeful-
ly, the student body gets excited about the season because the players definitely are.” This year’s team has put` an immense amount of time and dedication into their talent and skills. The student body will surely be united behind their support for the basketball players, and a night to celebrate the team’s potential is a great way to introduce that unity to the school.

Fortuna Bowl legacy continues
Students get ready to play intramural flag football championship BY LAUREN SAWDEY ASST. LIFESTYLE EDITOR
The upcoming annual Fortuna Bowl, set to take place during Parent and Family Weekend Nov. 11 at California Baptist University is the highly anticipated flag football championship each year. The event is a two-decadeold tradition that continues to be passed down from previous to current students who play on the men’s and women’s flag football teams. Located on CBU’s Front Lawn, the 26th Fortuna Bowl has a historic connection to the campus. In 1955, CBU, formally known as California Baptist College until 1998, moved from El Monte to the current Riverside campus, which houses the original James Building and Fortuna fountain. “It is named Fortuna Bowl because of the Fortuna fountain, which is the original history of CBU as it was there when we moved here. We’ve kept Fortuna looking the same as when we got here,” said Paige Cooper, senior civil engineering major and Community Life intramural sports intern. While Fortuna Bowl has not been around since the move to
CBU’s current campus, those who play on the teams feel a sense of history within the tradition itself. Teams such as the Bus Drivers form long-standing connections through Fortuna. Cooper, who is a Bus Drivers team member, said the team has been around for at least 15 years and has won the championship 10 times. For students playing intramural football, the connections made between those on teams are just as important as the history behind Fortuna Bowl. Playing on the teams creates friendships that add to the legacy of lasting relationships made through the friendly competition. “It connects us all because we wouldn’t meet otherwise if it wasn’t for football. The group of girls we have on the team are different ages, different grades, different majors, commuters and residents,” Cooper said. “There are so many differences among all of us, but we come together for this one thing.” The sense of family is shown further through alumni who attend games and connect with current students playing intramural football. The Fortuna Bowl represents a deeply rooted relationship between past and present players. “Our last game we had one of our legacy players come out and watch us, so there is a sisterhood there,” said Hailey Mount, senior psychology major and Bus Drivers player. With its history and legacy, Fortuna is also an event that fosters school spirit among the

CBU community. Family, friends and students all join together to show support for teams, such as Bombshell and S.W.A.T., and to enjoy the food trucks, fireworks, and for the first time, a concert after the Fortuna Bowl game. “Flag football teams leave
a legacy of competition, hard work, fun and a community of players who come together as one to compete,” said Nikki Barahona, junior nursing major and Bombshell player. “Since CBU doesn’t have a football team, flag football brings football to the students, mak-
ing Fortuna Bowl a community event of fun competition and a time when students can get excited and cheer on their favorite teams.” The Fortuna Bowl fosters community for all. “It allows students to get involved in the sport, be excited
for the teams and just watch some good flag football,” Barahona said. Fortuna Bowl is a campus-wide event that reaches beyond the championship games, it is a time for students and their families to enjoy lively competition along with food and music.
DTR Farmer’s Market adds charisma BY AMBER JACKSON
ASST. LIFESTYLE EDITOR Downtown Riverside hosts a farmer’s market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m, located on Main and sixth streets, that displays the charm and character of the Inland Empire itself. A variety of booths and local businesses sell goods and connect with their customers. The atmosphere of a farmer’s market usually is one of laid-back shopping and carefree browsing of different booths. Wildflowers are made into beautiful bouquets that can be purchased and a few booths are dedicated to succulents and other interesting plants. Everyone can find something that attracts them at local street fairs. Customer service can be a difficult line of work. People are not always agreeable, and poor communication can hinder an individual’s shopping experience. Randy Floyd, owner of a local fruit stand, Sage Mountain Farm, gave insight to the experience he has had with his customers. “Most customers have very good attitudes. People
come here to have a nice outdoor shopping experience so they’re in a good mood. That makes it easier to interact with them,” Floyd said. Several booths offer items that are interesting and not often heard of. Laurette Noblin has worked at the market every Saturday with her company, The Seeds of Xanxadu–Microgreens and More, since June. The company produces a variety of different greens and herbs that can be added to sandwiches and hamburgers for an enriched flavor. “I love the environment here. No one is in a hurry and it’s funny to see customers get excited about our product when they were first afraid of trying it,” Noblin said. She discovered an ad on Craigslist to work at markets like this and it was her boss’ dream to become more well known. Farmers markets can attract a large variety of people as a local activity or a tourist attraction. College students can use this as an opportunity to get away from school for a few hours and enjoy a carefree Saturday.

Fresh naturally and locally grown fruits and vegetables are displayed for the onlooking customers . A variety of produce is grown locally in the Riverside area, Chris McGillen, a tourist from Ireland, said he was excited about being able to visit the market while in the United States. “This was my first time vis-
iting the downtown farmer’s market but I will definitely be back with my wife,” McGillen said. “It introduced me to a whole new side of Riverside culture. It is charming, ro-
mantic and fun. It sort of reminded me of simpler times in Western Europe from my childhood.” A relaxing weekend can rejuvenate a long school week.
CBU students can benefit from the market’s proximity and lighten the mood of mundane Mondays with fresh flowers and a healthy locally produced breakfast.
CBU meme account gains popularity BY VICTORIA PAUL LIFESTYLE EDITOR
Memes, or virtual internet jokes, have taken over the internet as one of the most popular trends in social media. One cannot go on the internet anymore without seeing a picture with a funny caption on it. The first meme can be attributed to the 2001 blockbuster PlayStation game “Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty,” where recurring clones of the main character are referenced as memes.
In 2012, the word “meme” skyrocketed to mainstream popularity and has taken off since then. Memes have become a popular mode of expression for many millennial college students as a way to joke about their everyday struggles and angst. Recently, many colleges have started to create meme social media accounts and California Baptist University is no exception. CBU has many official Instagram pages but one of the most popular unofficial accounts
is the CBU Memes Instagram account with more than 2,000 followers that can be found @ cbumemes. “I started the CBU Memes page because I saw that there were so many problems, jokes and situations that CBU students, in particular, could relate to,” said the CBU Memes page creator, a criminal justice major, who wished to remain anonymous. “I wanted to create a page in which the student body could look and see that their fellow classmates were struggling with the same day-to-day frus-
trations and laugh about it.” CBU students are able to submit memes they have made to the account in hopes it might be posted. With an average of 450 likes per meme, the account has grown to have great success, showing just how popular memeing has become. People make memes out of things like current events, politics, celebrities, work, school or any topic one could find funny. There are so many different memes that almost anyone can find one to which they relate. “My favorite types of memes
are usually ones about celebrities or funny animal pictures because they always force me to stop and laugh even when it’s a busy day,” said Maddie Alexander, senior early childhood studies major. “They are a good stress-reliever.” Students said they enjoy the humorous internet pictures because they feel they can sympathize with them while getting a good laugh. “Memes are funny when they are original and are relatable,” said Ryan Reed, senior biochemistry major. “It is nice
to see that other people are going through the same things I am.” Some may argue that memeing is just a fad but because of their suddenly overwhelming popularity, many would say otherwise. “Memes will change over time but will still be around in some form or another,” the CBU Memes page creator said. Memes have been flooding social media for quite some time and it appears as though they are not going any where for the time being.

much more than exciting activities in which to partake. Not only does it build character and community but it provides an opportunity to grow with Christ.

The wrestling team at California Baptist University has been preparing for this season all semester and is starting its season on a high note. Wrestling debuted as the No. 3 ranked team in the NCAA Division II Wrestling Coaches Association Top-25 preseason rankings. Lennie Zalesky, head coach of the wrestling team, is training his wrestlers, both new and returning athletes, for a breakout season. “Some of our athletes went home for the summer.

Vowell thrives as ‘Voice of the Lancers’ BY CULLEN HOLT
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR Recognize that voice? You probably do if you are at a California Baptist University athletic event. The voice is distinct. It is the “Voice of the Lancers.” Do you know the man behind the voice? Maybe, but you might know him by his other name: “Chapel Guy.” Brett Vowell, director of Chapel, became “Chapel Guy” when he took a position with Spiritual Life in 2003. He became the “Voice of the Lancers” when the athletics staff asked him to do the public address announcing for a men’s water polo game in 2012. Vowell said he told athletics, “I think you’ve got the wrong guy.” It turns out they had the right guy because Vowell has now announced every CBU sport, with the exception of swim and cheer. “I just gradually learned what to look for, what to say and just the craft,” Vowell said.
Vowell now focuses on announcing indoor sports. While his background is not in athletics, participation in theater and music has helped prepare him for the public-address role. He recalled a dramatic reading of “By the Waters of Babylon” during his college days as one of the first times people acknowledged that his deep, resonating voice was tailor-made for the announcing microphone. “My voice, having the deeper voice, is a little bit different and unique, and I’ve learned how to control it and use it well,” Vowell said. Over time, Vowell became better known as “Voice of the Lancers” instead of “Chapel Guy.” “I see people out in the community and at my church and they say, ‘Oh, Voice of the Lancers,’” Vowell said. “I hold it as an honorable title but I always feel a little shy or boastful if I say I’m the ‘Voice of the Lancers.’” Originally from Oklahoma,
Vowell came to California for three years of seminary. He has now lived here for 20 years and has been at CBU long enough to see significant growth in the student body. “That’s what attracted me (to CBU) from the very beginning. Coming to CBU, just the students that I met and that’s continued to be true. That’s what causes me to continue here at CBU and motivates me in my work, whether it be in Chapel or with athletics,” Vowell said. “We have a great campus and a great student body.” He also said he enjoys interacting with the fans, the Crazies and alumni that come back for CBU sporting events. “There’s the team on the floor but you also have this team on the perimeter that you have to coordinate yourself,” Vowell said. “What’s being said on the mic, you’re not wanting to overstep what’s being said or done with the Crazies, with the band or with the cheer team.”
“A lot of that is planned out on paper but there has to be just kind of this unspoken communication,” Vowell said. Vowell also acknowledged the changes, like the move into the Events Center, in Lancer athletics will bring some adjustments for him as the public-address announcer. “I got a little bit of a warm-up at the Tip-Off Dinner last week. That was the first behind the mic in that space as the ‘Voice of the Lancers,’” Vowell said. Another change is the anticipated move to Division I competition next season. “I hope I’m up to the challenge,” Vowell said. “I’m open to improving and learning how best to speak at the games at that level.” When Vowell is not “Chapel Guy” or the “Voice of the Lancers,” you can probably find him taking in a movie at a local theater. However, Vowell has no plans to step away from the mic anytime soon.

Athletics announces future dance team Search for new dance coach continues for 2018-2019 school season BY KRISTA ABRAHAMSEN SPORTS EDITOR
The Athletics Department at California Baptist University has exciting changes in store for the 2018-2019 sports season. Not only is CBU transitioning to Division I but a dance team will be added to the university as well. Tami Fleming, head coach of cheer, said CBU decided to add the dance team to the Athletics Department to offer more opportunities for female athletes, expand the spirit program, and create a more exciting game day environment. “The team will be featured at basketball games, special events on campus and will be found often side-by-side with our CBU Golden Girls (cheerleaders),” Fleming said. A dance coach has not been picked yet but a nationwide search for the coach that will best fit CBU is currently taking place. Once he or she is selected, the coach will have the opportunity to choose regional-, state- and eventually nationallevel competitions in which the team can compete. One of the Lancers excited about the new addition of the dance team and considering trying out is Sierrah Scarpine, sophomore business administration major and base on the Golden Girls cheer team.
“Dance has been my whole life since I was a baby,” Scarpine said. “I have danced and been a part of different dance crews since I was 2 years old. Then, I got into cheer in high school and that’s why I do cheer at CBU.” Scarpine said the dance team will make a great addition to CBU because it will give dancers a platform they have not had in the past. “This team will be a great addition because it will give new dancers a chance to see what CBU is all about and give us a chance to showcase different aspects of talent never seen before at this school,” Scarpine said. Olivia Miller, assistant coach of cheer, said that any Lancers who are interested in joining the team will have the opportunity to try out once the coach has been chosen. “Very similar to our cheer program, CBU Dance will recruit throughout the current season and will hold an open tryout at the end of the school year,” Miller said. Fleming added what qualities the coach will be looking for in new potential recruits. “The new coach will be on the search for motivated and talented dancers to help create the first-ever CBU dance team,” Flemming said. If students are interested in making history by being a part of the first CBU dance team, they can fill out a recruiting form on the CBU Athletics website. Be on the lookout for the new addition to athletics in fall of 2018 as the dance team will be making CBU games and events even more thrilling than before.

Lavin speaks at first Tip-Off Dinner for basketball BY JEFF KISSEL SPORTS EDITOR
The California Baptist University Events Center hosted the inaugural Tip-Off Dinner for CBU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams Oct. 20. Fans of the basketball teams at CBU had the opportunity to buy tickets for $50 to get into the dinner while getting to know the men’s and women’s teams and the cheer team’s game-day squad, Golden Girls. Steve Lavin, former college basketball coach for Purdue University, the University of California, Los Angeles, and St. John’s University and former television analyst for ABC and ESPN, spoke and hosted a question-and-an-
swer session. Rick Croy, head coach of men’s basketball, and Jarrod Olson, head coach of women’s basketball, spoke about the season and posed questions about this season to athletes from both the men’s and women’s teams. Lavin said the main purpose of the dinner was to celebrate the start of another college basketball season. “One purpose is to energize the base of Cal Baptist University’s basketball fans,” Lavin said. “It’s coming together to celebrate the Events Center in all it’s glory and an opportunity for the fans and Lancers to spend time with the team.” Lavin also said this is his 30th year associated with NCAA Division I college basketball, both coaching and doing
analytical work for TV. After coaching for many years, he is currently working with Fox Sports and the Pac-12 Network. Lavin said CBU has all of the necsessary elements to succeed in Division I. “It does not happen overnight, but they have leadership,” Lavin said. “Dr. (Micah) Parker’s (director of Athletics) ability to elevate athletics is impressive.” Olson said the point of the Tip-Off Dinner is to connect with the CBU community. “Men’s and women’s basketball has a lot of great people on their teams and it’s great to be able to interact with people in our area,” Olson said. With this season being the last in Division II, Olson said the season should be interest-
ing to see what it has in store. “We are going to put everything we have and do the best job we can,” Olson said. “I’m hoping to try some new things and to accept challenges.” Croy said the Lancers have great depth going into the season and said he felt good about going into next season. “We have great senior leadership that is really excited to get going into the season,” Croy said. Men’s and women’s basketball will begin their season in the CBU Events Center Nov. 10. The men’s basketball team will play against California State University, Dominguez Hills, at 7 p.m. The women’s basketball team will play against California State University, San Marcos, at 11:30 a.m.
World Series players hail from Riverside Polytechnic High School BY KRISTA ABRAHAMSEN SPORTS EDITOR
It’s not every day two athletes who went to high school together in Riverside end up being on Major League baseball teams, let alone the two teams competing against each other in the World Series. This year, Austin Barnes, catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Jake Marisnick, center fielder on the Houston Astros, both competed on the most renowed baseball cahampionship in the world. Both Barnes and Marisnick played together for two years when they went to Riverside Polytechnic High School. Although Marisnick has not been participating in the World Series because of a
thumb injury, Barnes was in the starting lineup. Gary Voelker, former Polytechnic High School baseball coach and teacher, coached Barnes and Marisnick and said while they both have the persona needed to make it to the big leagues, the two have very different personalities. “Austin is intense in everything he does. He also used to avoid every class I ever taught,” Voelker said. “Jake’s approach was ‘I’m just happy to be here, but I know I have to work hard.’ Plus, he took my classes. But they both worked and battled hard.” Brad Pounders, former first and third baseman on the San Diego Padres, echoed Voelker’s opinion of Barnes having an intense personality.

scene, Austin was a seasoned veteran who played with a powerful team his freshman year. Jake, as a stumbling freshman, was trying to fit in but they complemented each other,” Voelker said. Voelker also said despite the athletes being close in age, he viewed both Barnes and Marisnick as players from different time periods. “Even though there was one year between them in school, Austin was the last holdout of a great era and Jake was the shining star of a new era,” Voelker said. For baseball fans at California Baptist University, knowing there are players who come from the same city as their university brings a sense of pride and added even
more excitement to this seasons’ World Series. Kyle Oyama, junior business administration major and infielder on the CBU baseball team, said he was inspired by MLB players who have their roots in Riverside. “It’s awesome to see someone who went to high school right down the street be playing on the biggest stage in baseball,” Oyama said. As a Dodgers fan, Oyama said knowing where Barnes came from is encouraging. “Seeing his success only makes me work harder at my own craft,” Oyama said. No matter what team students favored to win the World Series, it is motivating to see World Series athletes who are from Riverside.
Golf takes time off from tournaments, preps for spring season BY RYLEY COLLOM STAFF WRITER
California Baptist University’s men’s and women’s golf teams are preparing to take a nearly four-month break from tournament competition. The teams have been on a roll this season and the players expressed their plans to keep up that momentum heading into their off-period. The gap between tournaments is in accordance with NCAA rules because the NCAA prohibits any team to participate in tournaments between the end of October until the beginning of January. “There are some technical aspects of the game that we need work on during that period that we have not been able to work on during the season because we are focused on competing,” said Ben Hallam, junior
business administration major. Sharon Oh, junior health science major, said her plan is to stay fresh. “I want to maintain the momentum that I have and keep improving on my short game,” Oh said. “I also want to keep the same kind of practice routine and enter into some individual tournaments to stay fresh.” Marc Machado, head coach of women’s golf, said having a large gap between tournaments can have its advantages because it encourages the players to work on their skills and rest. “The advantage is there is less burn-out,” Machado said. “They are top-level athletes.” Both of the coaching staffs said they have no doubt their teams will be ready to play coming off the break. “These guys are self-motivated enough to go out there and work on the things they need to
work on,” said TL Brown, head coach of men’s golf. There will be high expectations as both teams have been successful in their fall tournaments. “We would love to go to nationals this season, especially, since it is our last year in Division II,” Machado said. The players also said they have confidence in themselves and their respective teams. “We are going to keep doing better. We are going to do well as a team and keep trying to climb up the rankings,” said Erica Wang, junior business administration major. Men’s tournaments will resume next Feb. 5 at the Fujikura Tournament in Vista, California at 8 a.m., and the women’s tournaments will also start Feb. 5 at the Point Loma Nazarene University Reach in San Diego at 8 a.m.

Popular television show ‘Bob’s Burgers’ hits theaters in 2020 BY ISABELLA DAMEN
ASST. A&E EDITOR
“Bob’s Burgers” has announced its move to the big screen. The franchise is set to release a full-length film in July 2020, as confirmed by Fox Animation. The television show is centered around Bob Belcher, his family and their modest burger joint, which has been successful in creating a strong and faithful fan base. “Bob’s Burgers” first aired in 2011 and has since won two Primetime Emmy Awards. Although Fox Animation has yet to announce what the film will be about, news of the film created an enormous amount of excitement among its fans. The show is known for its clever comedy and sly references to classic films and television
shows. Gerry Brana, freshman psychology major and self-proclaimed “Bob’s Burgers” fan, said he wants to see a more adventurous approach. “I want to see an Indiana Jones-like adventure with references to a lot of other classic films thrown in there the ‘Bob’s Burgers’ way.’” Upon Fox Animation’s announcement of the show, series creator Loren Bouchard shared her excitement for the series. Bouchard also expressed her knowledge of the fans’ hopes for the show, as well as the high expectations. “We know the movie has to scratch every itch the fans of the show have ever had, but it also has to work for all the good people who’ve never seen the show,” Bourchard said.
Although the franchise has done well on the small screen, many wonder if that success will translate to the big screen. Other animated series, such as “The Simpsons,” have been successful in making the transition. However, in an animated movie, characters must be stronger and more complex to engage audiences. Mitchell Douglas, freshman business major, expressed his concern for the plot. “Even though it’s a funny show and I enjoy it, they can’t hold a plot and don’t deliver story or character development enough,” Douglas said. “It could be funny but it wouldn’t be a very good movie.” Audiences can decide whether or not the movie will succeed when the film hits theaters July 17, 2020.

YouTube changes policies, affecting users
BY PAUL JOHNSON ASST. A&E EDITOR
Recent YouTube policy changes are causing monetary loss for YouTubers as of late and Casey Neistat, popular vlogger, said he believes he has been a consistent recipient of unfair treatment. Neistat sought to use his YouTube channel to promote a GoFundMe page dedicated to helping victims of the Oct. 1 Las Vegas massacre that was later restricted by YouTube. “I put an ad at the beginning and an ad at the end, so all of the AdSense revenue from this video will also be donated,” Neistat
said in his video posted Oct. 2. Although the GoFundMe page is fulfilling its intended purpose, having raised nearly $300,000 in the first 13 days of its existence, Youtube disqualified Neistat’s video from accruing ad revenue from the video itself. YouTube stated it did this because of its policy not to run ads on videos reacting to tragedies. Neistat and other YouTubers Phillip DeFranco and Ethan Klein claim this is where YouTube is being hypocritical. The YouTube channel “Jimmy Kimmel Live” published a video Oct. 2 in which ABC late-
night television host Jimmy Kimmel spoke about the horrific tragedy that took place in his hometown. However, this video contains an advertisement, not aligning with the YouTube ad policy to demonetize videos discussing tragedies. In response to criticism, YouTube told DeFranco Oct. 9, that “for nearly eight years we have allowed a small number of large, white-listed partners to run partner-sold ads on videos.” The channel has been allowed to directly seek advertisers for their video and takes on the responsibility for the suitability of the ad.
YouTube stated in the case of tragedies, it is in the process of discontinuing ads on such content and will soon finish. YouTube intended their policy to be implemented so people do not make money from tragedies unethically. Christian Toma, YouTube personality and director of happiness at Next Generation E-Sports, said he understands YouTube’s point of view. “If people are putting (up) videos about the biggest mass shooting in American history, then it makes sense that YouTube will demonetize the video,” Toma said. “YouTube is as-
suming the worst out of people and doesn’t want people making money from a tragedy.” Toma said he understands this is a complex topic. “It needs to be on a case-bycase basis. You agreed when you signed up as a YouTuber and you need to be OK with that,” Toma said. Braden Sapp, junior music education major, said he understands both sides. “YouTube has been going downhill with their new policies just popping up. There’s not as much freedom as there used to be. People are getting censored. I do agree with YouTube, but
(policy enforcement) should be spread across the board,” Sapp said. Neistat released another video titled, “DEMONETIZED DEMONETIZED DEMONETIZED,” Oct. 17 that stated YouTube does not do enough to support its community, a distinct attribute of the site. In the video, Neistat notes that a travel vlog he uploaded was demonetized, seemingly without reason. Though YouTube has been criticized for its recent policy changes, it also accepts such criticism and applies it to the site for the benefit of viewers.

The ‘Unhappy Hour’ strikes once again Celebration of macabre literature is success for department BY PAUL JOHNSON ASST. A&E EDITOR
The Department of modern Languages and Literature at California Baptist University hosted the fourth consecutive “Unhappy Hour” on Oct. 30 in the A.J. Staples Room. The event providing a platform for literature and scary stories. Dr. Laura Veltman, professor of American literature, established the evening in theme, joking, “You are all too happy,” which was followed by a night of petrifying poetry reading and exciting excerpts from longer pieces of literature to set the spirit of the room. The event was broken into Halloween-themed sections. The first event was a game of bone-yard bingo that con-
tinued throughout the night. Words placed into a bingo style board could be crossed off as live readings of poems using the words were spoken. Prizes were awarded as participants won the game all throughout the event. After the ongoing game was introduced, poetry was read aloud at a podium in front of the group of attendees. Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare and other poets also were celebrated for their focus on the fantastic as well as their literary merit. Dr. Jennifer Newton, associate professor of English, read an excerpt from “Beowulf” in its original Old English, accompanies by the same passage translated into modern English. Each version, scary in its own right, brought the spooky theme of the event together with the theme of education through performed literature. Student participants read cherished selections as well as original works. Classic, chilling compositions of the season were read including Poe’s “The Raven,” Johann Wolfganag von Goethe’s “The Erl-King,” and part of Masters’ “Spoon River

Anthology.” Adeleigh Sexton, sophomore music performance major, noted the emphasis of creative liberty in the readings. “The freedom for everyone to speak on any passage in what-
ever tone or accent they wanted made for some really funny performances,” Sexton said. Veltman said she particularly enjoyed the mixture of the two themes. “It’s people enjoying reading
poems to other people. When else does that happen?” Veltman said. She said she appreciated the mixture of the crowd; some eager to read their favorite morbid piece, dressed up and doing voices, while others
were more comfortable waiting to be persuaded to read. Sexton said she was thrilled the event prepared her for the Halloween season. The Unhappy Hour will likely return again next year to
Majid Jordan releases sophomore R&B album ‘The Space Between’ BY AUDREY STODDARD A&E EDITOR
Majid Jordan released their sophomore album, “The Space Between,” Oct. 27. The Toronto duo Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman are signed to OVO sound, the record label co-founded by Drake. The Canadian duo wrote and co-produced Drake’s hit song “Hold-On, We’re Going
Home.” With a sound similar to Partynextdoor, Majid Jordan dropped their second studio album with intentions of making waves in the world of rhythm and blues. The hit songs on the album include, “My Imagination (feat. dvsn),” “One I Want (Partynextdoor)” and “Gave Your Love Away.” Majid’s vocals in “Body Talk”
flawlessly mix with the rhythm of the song. This song gives off Weeknd-vibes and will most likely find itself ranked on a top -40 chart. The duo’s first album “Majid Jordan,” peaked at NO. 6 on the United States R&B and hip-hop chart. “The Space Between” combines 13 smooth tracks, creating an album that shows the pairs’ chemistry. In an interview with the
Hot97 Studios in New York, Al Maskati and Ullman talked about the album title. “The name is open for interpretation. It can mean a lot of things,” Al Mataski said. “It could mean like the space between truth and fiction, reality and perception. The ‘space between us as people.’” Majid Jordan will be on tour January 2018 and will perform in Los Angeles.
Organist performs at Disney Concert Hall BY PAUL JOHNSON ASST. A& EDITOR
The Walt Disney Concert Hall held its yearly silent film showing Oct. 31. This year the film shown was “Phantom of the Opera” (1925) scored and performed on pipe organ by Clark Wilson, preferred organist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. According to Wilson’s biography on the Los Angeles Philharmonic website, he “is one of the most prominent and recognized scorers of silent photoplays in America today.” The website says that Wilson has been scoring films
and touring North America since 1980 for various events and festivals. Among his many achievements, he has been organ conservator and resident organist at the Ohio Theatre for the Columbus Associate for the Performing Arts since 1992. Stephen Sleeper, senior music composition major, noted the musical excellence of the performance by Wilson. “I particularly enjoyed the meticulous work put into syncing up the music and the picture on certain cues,” Sleeper said. Wilson demonstrated his musical prowess on organ, appropriately depicting the images on the screen to affect his
audience in a way that followed the themes and feelings associated with the chilling story. Sydney Funderburk, 2016 film studies alumna, recognized another aspect of the performance. “I always think it’s interesting how the audience reacts to the acting in silent films because every year it’s different.” Funderburk said. “It’s funny to see how differently the picture translates 80, 90 years later whereas people were terrified watching this before and we’re sitting here, laughing, enjoying it in a completely different light.” Braden Sapp, junior music
education major, attended the event for the first time and said he learned something pertaining to his major. “The Zimbelstern surprised me because I didn’t think the organ had an instrument like that,” Sapp said. Sapp said he was interested to hear the different varieties of sound the organ made during the percussion stops. “I would definitely go again. It’s a great way to spend Halloween,” Sapp said. The event will continue yearly at the Disney Concert Hall, educating and entertaining newcomers and returners alike.

Season two of ‘Stranger Things’ entices, excites fans BY AUDREY STODDARD
A&E EDITOR
Netflix released the long awaited ”Stranger Things: Season 2” Oct. 27 with nine new episodes. The Netflix Original sequel was released 15 months after the first season, which immediately became popular among Netflix users. Alanna Saldana, junior nursing major, saw the premiere showing at the Fox Theater in Westwood. Cast members, including Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler) and Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), attended the showing to watch the first two episodes of the new season with the audience. Saldana said it was exciting to be in the same room experiencing the opening night with the cast members.
“This season is more fastpace and is more graphic. It is also mysterious so it keeps you interested,” Saldana said. “I binge-watched the whole thing the day it came out — that is how interesting it is. Most of the characters are the same, with the exception of a few, so the viewers already have connections with some of the characters.” New characters of “Stranger Things: Season 2” include Max (Sadie Sink) and her older brother, Billy (Dacre Montgomery). “The new characters add a new dimension to the show,” said Hailey Adams, junior health science major. “By adding new characters the show will become more complex, therefore keeping its viewers intrigued.” The first episode of season two starts out in the streets of

watching the new season. “The first episode (of season two) sets up an awesome theme for the season,” Coleman said. “I loved that they brought in new characters right away and
gave some information on cliffhangers from last season,” Though season three has yet to be announced by Netflix, Matt Duffer, one of the creators of “Stranger Things,” said the
third installment is still in the writing process. There will be a time jump since the actors will be older by the time season three is ready to begin shooting.

City of stars provides food, art, film A few ‘must sees, must dos’ during a day trip to Los Angeles BY NINASOPHIA STOWE BUSINESS & TECH EDITOR
While many students at California Baptist University have grown up in Southern California, not all have taken the time to fully experience Los Angeles and all that the nearby city has to offer. One hotspot in L.A. that brings in a heavy crowd is Grand Central Market a downtown landmark that has hosted multiple food vendors in one warehouse location since 1917, and has been growing in popularity since. From coffee bars to street tacos to chop suey, Grand Central Market brings together a variety of cuisines from different cultures to one location to give locals and tourists the ultimate customer’s choice meal. Roxy Jones, barista at G&B coffee bar, speaks highly of the Grand Central Market and its reputation. “I used to work at the Chelsea Market in New York and a lot of the vendors in there were hit or miss, but the thing about Grand Central Market is that
you can’t lose here. I haven’t had any food here that wasn’t amazing. Everything here is amazing,” Jones said. Another favorite stop in L.A. is the ice cream shop Salt & Straw — a one-of-a-kind ice cream shop because of its rare and interesting flavors. Each month, Salt & Straw releases a brand new set of bizarre flavors. For the month of October, the flavors were under the Spooktacular Series, including Dracula’s Blood Pudding-which has actual pig’s blood in the recipe,-the Great Candycopia, Creepy Crawling Critters and Freckle & Hyde Potion. All the ice cream sold in the shop is handmade locally in its downtown L.A. kitchen. “I really like this place because it’s super communityorientated. You feel like you’re with family when you’re here. Plus, we play really good music here,” said Graciela Pulido, Salt & Straw employee. The New Beverly Cinema is another must-see in L.A. While the theater is small, it is extremely significant. The New Beverly Cinema is owned by American director, actor and writer Quentin Tarantino. However, the building itself was established in the 1920s. Since becoming the owner two years ago, Tarantino decided the New Beverly would only project film. “I want the New Beverly to be a bastion for 35mm films. I
want it to stand for something,” stated Tarantino on the New Beverly website. “When you see a film on the New Beverly calendar, you don’t have to ask whether it’s going to be shown in DCP (Digital Cinema Package) or in 35mm. You know it’s playing in 35 because it’s the New Beverly.” When it comes to the arts, the New Beverly is not the only entertainment pit stop in LA. Amoeba Music is one of the most popular stops in LA for tourists and locals. Amoeba is known for being one of the largest independent record stores in the world. The store has the most variety in merchandise with CDs, vinyl, DVDs, T-shirts and posters, and is located at the heart of Hollywood. Clay Fringe, Amoeba customer, spoke of its reputation and how it brought him in. “I’m in town for work and I’ve never been here and wanted to see the craziness of it all. It’s huge, you can find a little bit of everything here,” Fringe said. “There’s nothing like this where I’m from. It’s almost overwhelming.” From food to shopping to entertainment, Los Angeles has a lot to offer for college students looking for something fun to do on a day off. The opportunities are endless. However these local and tourist favorites are just a short list, not even including the many museums or art exhibits

Tech companies move toward eco-friendly cars and planes BY KYLIE VODA
ASSIT. BUSINESS & TECH EDITOR Companies are doing their part in society’s concern for taking care of the earth by creating environmentally friendly technology, products and innovations. EasyJet, Wright Electric, Tesla, Toyota and more are creating eco-friendly planes and cars in order to encourage people and competing companies to foster a more environmentally safe ecosystem. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the word “emissions” is used to describe the gases and particles released into the air.
These emissions are incredibly dangerous for the environment because they increase the levels of harmful gases present in the air. By creating more options for eco-friendly cars and planes, the smog problem could be minimized and important advancements could be made toward a cleaner and safer environment. Companies such as Tesla are actively producing vehicles that reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the air. Tesla features a live count on its website to allow people to see the total tons of carbon dioxide being saved by the company’s customers. Though the 2 billion tons of
dangerous gases being saved by Tesla’s environmentally clean vehicles is appealing, most cannot afford a relatively expensive car such as a Tesla. Toyota also offers environmentally efficient models for a more reasonable price, compared to other eco-friendly car companies, for a middle-class customer. Toyota offers 14 hybrid models, and the company stated its goal by 2050 is to eliminate almost all CO2 emissions from new Toyota vehicles. “We’re working today to explore and innovate advanced vehicle technologies that move our fleet toward zero emissions — like next-generation hybrids and zero emission hydrogen
fuel cell vehicles,” said Toyota in a statement released on the company’s website. Wright Electric is starting to build battery-powered planes for a budget airline called EasyJet. “As technology moves on, attitudes shift, ambitions change and you see opportunities you didn’t see,” said Peter Duffy, EasyJet’s chief commercial officer in an interview with The Telegraph. “This is genuinely exciting.” Within 20 years, Wright Electric plans to release a battery-powered plane that is 50 percent quieter and 10 percent cheaper. Reise Lenders, junior avi-
ation flight major, expressed his interest in the idea of a battery-powered plane. “There’s no reason why you wouldn’t want to fly a plane like that. You can get up to speed and up to your higher altitude faster. Also, it reduces noise so residents won’t complain as much about noise pollution,” Lenders said. With the battery-powered planes and the plans to eliminate all CO2 emissions being made in the distant future, many feel that the advancements are too late. “I’m for going green but with regulations,” said Briana Lingad, junior environmental science major. “It’s difficult to
do stuff like that. It’s not financially beneficial for a lot of big companies to go green now so they won’t. They are only thinking short-term profit so they end up depleting the resources of the environment so it ends up being more harmful. The progress being made toward going green isn’t moving at a fast enough pace to where it is actually helping the environment.” Though changes to create a more green environment are being implemented for the future, people can do their part in preserving the Earth by using less plastic, reducing the use of water and recycling when possible.
New Ataribox, Tamagotchi releases evoke ’90s nostalgia BY KYLIE VODA
ASSIT. BUSINESS & TECH EDITOR
Sarah Dane | Banner
Nineties technology is making a comeback with the release of many classic toys and popular video games, such as Tamagotchis and the upcoming Ataribox in 2018. Bandai America, Tamagotchi’s parent company, is releasing a smaller device of its classic game for its 20th anniversary Nov. 5, and Atari has plans to recreate itself through the release of a new gaming system called the Ataribox. Many kids who grew up in the 1990s said they remember playing with Tamagotchis, virtual aliens that need an abundance of care and constant attention before they are ready to return to their home planet. Though updated, Tamagotchis have been altered in the past years with technological advances like text message capabilities, but nothing resembles the classic Tamagotchi toy, according to fans. Now, Tamagotchis are returning a little bit smaller than the original models but with the same packaging fans of the toy remember. Kids and adults of all ages can enjoy Tamagotchis as they are being released into
stores like Toys R Us for the retail price of $14.99. “The enduring power of Tamagotchi is its clear expression that nurturing and love never goes out of style,” stated Tara Badie, marketing director for Bandai America in a press release. “It’s such an honor to bring back one of the most beloved toys in a way that captures the magic and joy of a generation while embracing the sensibilities of new generations.” Bandai America warns fans that a quick sellout is expected as only limited quantities will be available. As Tamagotchi celebrates its 20th anniversary, the company welcomes back the iconic toy to children looking to experience what some think to be a 90s icon and to nostalgic adults looking to reclaim their favorite childhood toy. “Kids can get the experience their parents had when they were kids,” said Jared Oliphant, freshman biology major. “In games, such as Tamagotchi and Pac-Man, you have to actually strategize instead of just looking at an iPhone screen.” Atari, famous for games like Pac-Man, Pong, Asteroids, Frogger and more, is releasing a video game console in spring
2018 that the company promises will bring the “full PC experience to the TV,” according to its press release. Daniel Herrera, senior music composition major, spent many hours playing games at the arcade as a kid. Games such as Pac-Man and Frogger were all too familiar to him. “I am very excited, especially for DigDug because it’s so nostalgic. It’s going to bring me back to my younger days when I would mow lawns and walk dogs for arcade money and spend all night at the arcade. So I’ll probably purchase an Ataribox,” said Herrera. The Ataribox is expected to be competitive with Microsoft’s Xbox One X because they are similar in prices ranging from around $300–$500. “Video games today are pretty mindless,” said Austin Dubyak, junior graphic design major. “The video games in the 90s were not as violent and they made kids use their minds.” With releases from Tamagotchi and Atari, what many may consider iconic games of the 1990s, welcoming back their favorite childhood games is evoking nostalgia in true “90s kids.”

American Online ends AOL instant messaging BY NINASOPHIA STOWE BUSINESS & TECH EDITOR
After just over 20 years, the internet world can officially say goodbye to the legendary American Online’s Instant Messenger (AOL). “All good things come to an end. On Dec. 15, we’ll bid farewell to AIM. Thank you to all our users!” AIM tweeted Oct. 6. “AIM tapped into new digital technologies and ignited a cultural shift, but the way in which we communicate with each other has profoundly changed,” said the company in an interview with TMZ. Mairin Deasy, senior communication studies major, reminisced over her times chatting on AIM and how this news made her feel. “It was the pinnacle of my middle school career so I’m sad,” Deasy said. “We’ve moved on to bigger and better things so we are OK but it’s sad. It’s completely different now.” Many students grew up using Instant Messenger on AOL as a way to communicate with friends and chat about games or movies. Andrew Williams II, junior music education major, said the end of AIM made him feel old. “I was about 9 years old and I remember my friends and I would stay up way too late talking about the animated ‘Batman’ and ‘X-Men’, which were really popular shows during the ‘90’s and early 2000s or video games like the ‘Super Nintendo’ on Instant Messenger,” Williams said. “I would get in trouble with my parents because they kept hearing the chirping noise from dial-up really late at night.” While saying goodbye to such an iconic part of ‘90s technology, it is safe to say anyone with a social media account will be satisfied with other forms of communication.

Piep shop sells affordable home plants BY NINASOPHIA STOWE BUSINESS & TECH EDITOR
Mackenna and Leland Rowley, Riverside residents and owners of Rowley Press, decided to open a sister company Oct. 14 called Piep, a plant house located at 3770 Orange St. in downtown Riverside. “We already had a printing business here, Rowley Press, and we thought why not start another one? Because we are insane and it’s been really fun,” Mackenna Rowley said. Pilea Peperomioides, otherwise known as the “friendship plant,” was the primary token inspiration for the Rowleys to open up the plant house. “We love this plant. My
husband loves plants and we thought we should make this available for less than $180,” Rowley said. “The reason it’s called the friendship plant is because the leaves make these little babies and you can cut them off and then repot them and give it to a friend. That’s how it spreads and it’s really fun,” Rowley added. After finding a well-priced seedling online, the owners started to develop the idea of opening the plant house. “We thought we should see how popular (the friendship plant) is and see if we can find a way to grow it,” said Rowley. “So, we created an Instagram account and it now has more
than 20,000 followers. It’s just reposts of pictures of the plant and people love it.” Leah Schar, senior marketing major and Piep employee, got connected with Piep Plant House through the California Baptist University Career Center because of an email sent out to all marketing majors inquiring about an open position for Rowley Press. However, once they mentioned they had two companies, she jumped on board for both and is now a public relations and social media account manager for both companies. “I love (the job). It’s better than I could have asked for,” Schar said. “I was looking at big companies too, but being
at a small company, I think it’s better because I get to do more hands-on work and I get to learn more than if I were at a large company getting coffee.” Rowley mentioned that Schar has been a huge help since she was hired. Even though Schar works for both companies, she is more involved with Piep. “I was not a plant person, but I’ve definitely gotten more of a green thumb. Now all of my roommates ask me about plants and now I’m way more into plants than I was before.” Schar is not the only CBU student who has expressed interest in Piep. Some students have been waiting for the store to open since the construction
of building started and interior decorating began. “I had seen Piep in the process of opening and I kept wondering what it was being turned into,” said Courtney Chandler, sophomore graphic design major. “Finding out it was a plant house was a great surprise. I love plants and I always get so excited when the art club sells succulents on campus, so it was great to go to a place that permanently does the same thing.” The store’s friendly interior can be seen from the outside through large glass windows in the front of the store, inviting potential customers to have a look at all the home decor available for sale. The store is open Tuesday-Saturday, 12-7 p.m.

Antonio Mellado, sophomore accounting major at California State San Bernardino, shops for decorative antiques in the Mission Galleria Antique Shoppe.
Mission Galleria Antique Shoppe is a remarkable store in not only its size but also its content and age. The store draws in customers from all generations — older customers looking to relive memories and younger customers searching for old trends to revive. The Mission Galleria Antique Shoppe, located in downtown Riverside across the street from the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa, was opened more than two decades ago and is currently owned by Craig Johnston. Customers walk into the shop and are greeted with hundreds of antiques from cameras to jewelry and see huge chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

Customers come into her coffee shop from the inside of the Galleria because not many people know they are connected. The coffee shop might be a surprise for the customers, but many do not know that in the basement there is a restaurant called the Hideaway Cafe. The cafe is known for its affordable prices on food and for its night club atmosphere that have people waiting in a line outside for hours. The Mission Galleria has been a part of the downtown Riverside atmosphere for many years and is looking forward to many years to come.
NFL sponsors respond to debate over national anthem BY KYLIE VODA
ASSIT. BUSINESS & TECH EDITOR The recent National Football League protests have impacted the company’s sponsors severely, regardless of which side the businesses support. Companies that are supporting the players’ choices are now seeing a direct negative effect on its success. After many players chose to kneel or stay in the locker room during the national anthem,
President Donald J. Trump took to Twitter releasing statements about those who do not stand for the “Star Spangled Banner.” “If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the national anthem. If not, YOU’RE FIRED. Find something else to do!” Trump tweeted Sept. 23.
Since then, companies and sponsors have been stuck in the middle of the debate, and are still facing backlash for their support for the NFL. The Ford family owns the Detroit Lions and the naming rights to the Ford Field in Detroit. Ford’s truck is also the official truck of the NFL. After several Lions players kneeled during the national anthem, the owners of the Lions franchise spoke out in defense
of their players’ actions. “Our game has long provided a powerful platform for dialogue and positive change in many communities throughout our nation,” said Martha Firestone Ford, owner and chairwoman of the Detroit Lions and a member of the Ford family, in a statement referring to Trump’s tweets. “Negative and disrespectful comments suggesting otherwise are contrary to the found-
ing principles of our country, and we do not support those comments or opinions,” Firestone Ford said. Sheriff Julian Whittington in Louisiana declared the Sheriff ’s Office will stop purchasing Ford police vehicles because of Ford’s statement and the company’s choice to continue advertising with the NFL. ESPN’s viewership is plummeting and companies are facing detrimental boycotts.
The NFL has lost three million viewers per game since its peak of 205 million viewers per game in 2014, even before the protests, according to Forbes. “As a criminal justice major, if I ever become a part of a police department like that, I would immediately quit,” said Ben Higgins, freshman criminal justice major. “If Ford chooses to support their team and the choices they make, that shouldn’t affect the public.”

too common. I fear this hashtag has overshadowed the importance of awareness by too many people using and by possibly using it in the wrong sense. I worry this hashtag misrepresents the gravity of harassment and assault cases. #MeToo was meant to open eyes and I’m sure it did, but it wasn’t meant to just be a trending hashtag. It wasn’t meant to be used by those like me, who have to wonder if it applies to them; it was meant to give voice to the voiceless people who know it has happened to them. The sad truth is sexual harassment and assault in today’s society is more common than we may think, but thankfully, the worst hasn’t happened to everyone. #MeToo should be used by those who are certain and not those who are unsure.
‘Fast fashion’ harms the planet
BY GIOVANNA BERROCAL OPINION EDITOR Stop buying cheap clothes. Yes, I said it. Please spend more money on clothes if you’re going to buy anything at all. Why? Because “fast fashion” is the second largest pollutant in the world after oil. Fast fashion is a contempo-
rary term of expediting production processes at all costs to get trends to the market as quickly and cheaply as possible, similar to fast food. Yes, you can donate your clothes to Goodwill or Salvation Army, but most of it isn’t sold because of the clothes’ condition. The average American throws away 81 pounds of clothes each year. Fast fashion brands such as Forever 21 and Primark sell “trendy” clothes and roll out dozens of new collections every year, feeding into this epidemic of consumerism. They sell average clothes at prices Americans can afford, myself included. Providing beautiful articles of clothing at a cheap price is not the major problem – careless consumerism is the major problem.
Americans value having an abundance of clothing. We always need more no matter the cost. Don’t get me wrong – cheap deals are great, but is your $5 shirt worth all the negative effects? According to an article by My Green World, the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan, the fourth largest lake in the world, has been rapidly drying up due to the amount of water cotton needs to grow – the cotton used to make that $5 shirt at Forever 21. You can see how careless consumerism impacts more than just your bank account. Stop buying clothes just for their affordable price. I’m sure we all have more than enough compared to the rest of the world. As college students, we can’t afford expensive articles of clothing but we can buy
staple pieces that we can wear more often. Although some fast fashion retailers such as Forever 21, Zara and Primark still do not show any signs of shifting into a sustainable and fair-trade brand, some retailers are realizing the impact of their actions. They now understand that the dyes for their textiles and the pesticides used to grow cotton are killing rivers and oceans. H&M launched their Conscious Collection in 2012 and Mango recently committed to several projects that deal with environmental responsibility. One way to check if a certain fast fashion retailer is committed to produce better quality products is to go on their website and find the section that talks about their company’s ethics.
Moving home after graduation is acceptable
BY TORI PAUL LIFESTYLE EDITOR
You get to college, graduate and get married, right? For most students that is how they feel their lives should end up. This is not always the case. Some feel when you are handed a college diploma and move back in with your parents you are taking a step back. This statement is false as it is nowhere near a step back but a step forward because it is a very beneficial financial decision. By moving back home, you are only gaining a better financial footing that will benefit you for years to come. Moving back home, while
not an option for everyone, can be a smart decision for those postgraduates drowning in student loans debt. Many entry-levels positions give graduates barely enough money to pay for basic needs, let alone make a dent in those student loans — that is, if you are lucky enough to have a job waiting for you after graduation. Most students have to take at least a few months to go through the process of finding a job after graduation. Having a chance to live at home allows you to save money
on things like rent and utilities. The money being saved can go straight to student loans as it is important to start paying them off as soon as possible.
“
One should not be embarassed to move back home or feel as if they are taking a step back in life. Another great advantage to moving back home is that it allows the opportunity to start building an emergency savings. One may never have a better
opportunity in his or her life to build that rainy-day fund quicker than when a person is working full time and not having to deal with the obstacle of living expenses. Post-graduation is a time of figuring out what you want to do, what you like and what you are good at. This may include having to acquire multiple different jobs until an enjoyable one is found. There is no better time to play the field than when you do not have to worry about bills or living expenses. One can jump from job to job without
having to worry about a steady paycheck. The stigma of moving back home after finishing school is slowly becoming non-existent as many students are realizing the benefits. According to CNBC, 36 percent of graduating seniors are planning to live at home for at least one year or more after graduation. One should not be embarrassed to move back home or feel as if he or she is taking a step backward in life because the pros clearly weight out the cons.

Medically, they are used for types of pain relief as substances like morphine, heroin, codeine, fentanyl, heroin and oxycodone. Opioid use disorder is a medical condition characterized by a problematic pattern of opioid use that causes clinically significant impairment or distress. Addiction and dependence are components of a substance use disorder and can manifest as physical dependence, psychological dependence or both.

Opioid Addiction
Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illicit drug heroin as well as the licit prescription pain relievers oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, fentanyl and others. Opioids are chemically related and interact with opioid receptors on nerve cells in the brain and nervous system to produce pleasurable effects and relieve pain.
Addiction is a primary, chronic and relapsing brain disease characterized by an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors. Of the 20.5 million Americans 12 or older that had a substance use disorder in 2015, 2 million had a substance use disorder involving prescription pain relievers and 591,000 had a substance use disorder involving heroin. It is estimated that 23% of individuals who use heroin develop opioid addiction.
