The Gauchos lost their second game in a row by three points to the Riverside Tigers in double overtime Saturday night at home, 37-34. Freshmen line backer Blake Whitlock was honest about how they played, “We made too many mistakes– period. Defensively and offensively.” Despite their loss, some key players stood out in the near win for Saddleback. Whitlock alone had 6 tackles and 1 sack against the Tigers. Starting quarterback Ricky Bautista threw a whopping 412 yards and helped score four touchdowns for the Gauchos. Sophomore wide receiver Forrest Dunivan, who scored two touchdowns and ran for 214 yards with 10 receptions total, was disappointed but realistic about the loss, “Riverside is a very good team. But our offense was on-point tonight.” Yet Dunivan remained positive about the rest of the season for the Gauchos, “I feel really good about this season. There’s a big difference with our inten-

short stories, poetry and art and illustration, are slated to be presented. “Students from Larry Radden’s speech class will do an oral interpretation of some of the works,” said WALL Faculty Advisor Gina Shaffer, “while others will be presented by the contributors themselves.” “The reading is a chance for students to see the immense talent on campus,” Shaffer said. “WALL offers intense personal stories, shared lessons and experiences that other people can learn from and relate to. It’s a celebration of the human tragedy and the human condition.” WALL’s 2014 edition was recently released on campus and can be found in the Business and General Sciences Building
near the elevator, the Student Services Center near the entrance to the cafeteria, across from the art gallery in the Fine Arts Complex, and near the third-floor circulation desk in the Learning Resources Center. Copies will also be available at the public reading. A digital version of the journal can be accessed at http:// www.saddleback.edu/la/wall. For students interested in contributing the the 2015 WALL, submission deadlines are February 10, 2015. Members of the WALL staff, students enrolled in the spring course English 160, also have the opportunity to get a personal piece published.
Irvine Valley College held their 9/11 commemoration ceremony in the Performing Arts Center last Thursday in the afternoon. Outside the PAC, a bomb squad, emergency services personnel, police, as well as a helicopter gathered around the outside of the building, while videos from the attacks on September 11, 2001 played on large-screen TVs and photos and a timeline hung on the wall. "The New York Bomb Squad lost team members during 9/11. They had to conduct a blast investigation, figure out where the blast happened, how it happened, as well as why it
happened," said a member of the OCSD Bomb Squad. White roses piled onto the floor below a poster of the American flag that was made up of the victims' names. "I think it's important to remember and observe because it was probably the greatest American tragedy of all time. It made no sense when it happened. To me it still makes no sense now," Tameka Hall, 18, said. "Regular people just going about their days were killed for something they had nothing to do with. It was more than a slap to America's face, it was robbing sons and daughters, mothers and father, sisters and brother's from people who loved them." Orange County Sheriff Sheriff Hutchens spoke at the com-
memoration ceremony along with Lieutenant Aroon Seeda, a military chaplain, and TJ Prendergast, president of the South Orange County Community College District's board of trustees. Singer Robbie Britt performed the "Star Spangled Banner" and "Amazing Grace" during the ceremony with a special performance from Brittany Case and Anne YoonYoung Shin performing "Wind Beneath My Wings." After the ceremony, people gathered outside to meet the OCSD's Canine Search and Rescue Unit on the PAC lawn.
