Audi partners with Saddleback FILIP PEJCINOVIC NEWS EDITOR

Audi of America is partnering with Saddleback College's automotive technology program by providing computer-based training to give students handson, practical tools on which to learn how to repair and work with the manufacturer's performance and luxury vehicles, according to department chair Clifford Meyer.

The program is part of the Audi Education Partnership. The students will use tools to digitally scan to diagnose and repair Audi vehicles.

"This affords our students the opportunity to work on a major European automotive brand," Meyer said in a press release.

Technicians looking to work in Audi dealerships who pass 10 to 15 online courses along with hands-on Audi vehicle training, can expect to be placed in a higher position than they would if they had not passed the manufacturer's training courses.

Audi decided to partner with Saddleback after attending an advisory committee meeting

SHOP: The automotive workshop is located near the Village. where they were impressed with their tour of the Saddleback automotive facility. The auto tech facility on campus has all the tools needed to educate students in all aspects of automobile and motorcycle technology.

“We have the best equipped machine shop in the Western United States," Meyer said.

Meyer said before a student takes courses in the automotive program they can chose from five different specializations they have interest, they can even specialize in more than one field.

The college's auto tech pro-

gram offersfive occupational certificate programs as well as an associate degree.

When under Audi's program, students will still take the same courses accept they will learn certain mechanical details that differentiate Audi vehicles from other brands.

“This program from Audi is to augment our current student classes taken and enrolled in at Saddleback," Meyers said in an email. "The classes taken at Audi provide the students the opportunity to have focused training on the Audi brand”.

Some students who have heard about the partnership appreciate what it means to them and to their classmates.

“It's giving us an open door to get into the automotive industry,” said Leo Flores , a Saddleback sophomore who is pursuing a certificate as an General Automotive Technician.

Audi has just begun working with Saddleback College.

Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Honda, Acura, Jaguar, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge have been recruiting new Saddleback technicians into their workforce every year. Tesla and Land Rover are also possibly partnering up with Saddleback in the near future.

The auto tech program has an ongoing donor, Tuttle Click Group, which has donated $50,000 grants since 2008.

"We have a great scholarship program through the Tuttle-Click automotive group," Meyer said.

"Three weeks ago they just gave us another $50,000."

The Tuttle-Click scholarship program is a partnership that allows students to have a full-time or a part-time job, $750 a semester and a $4,500 Matco starter tool set.

Prop 63 background checks for purchase of amunition DENISSE HOBSON OPINION EDITOR

California citizens will be able to vote on Proposition 63 this upcoming state ballot on Nov. 8. For those unfamiliar with this proposition, it’s focused on requiring background checks for ammunition purchases for firearms.

There are now more registered voters in California than the population of 46 states, which continues to surge, state election officials say. 45.2 percent of the CA voters are democratic while 26.2 percent are re-

publican. The rest have no party preference or are categorized as other.

Recently, in California, two police officers were killed in Palm Springs by a man who was wearing soft border armor and possessed a high number of capacity magazines, that led to his arrest.

Incidents as such, are why lawmakers have put forth the proposition, which would require for background checks before ammunition purchases as well as the ban of large capacity magazines.

Idividuals that are convicted

of felonies and misdemeanors,found by a court to be a danger to themselves or others due to mental illness and either have a restraining order against them. would not be allowed to have firearms.

Californians would also have to obtain a four-year permit that they too would pay for in order to buy ammunition.

Supporters of the proposition known as Safety for All led

by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom of CA, voice that through this law, lives will be saved, as preventing criminals that are domestic abusers or are mentally ill will

diminish gun violence.

However, on the flip side, the opposition led by The Coalition for Civil Liberties, feel that it will cause for an unnecessary hinder on law-abiding citizens and the process they may be in for without stopping violent criminals from accessing firearms.

Already $4,709,796.24 has been raised in support for Prop.

63, while $653,826.41 has been raised in opposition.

For the ballot measure to be put forward 365,880 Californian citizens would need to sign, costing $2,228,384.05 alone.

How Prop 51’s $9B bond could affect Saddleback MEAGHAN CORKILL LIFE EDITOR

It’s almost November 8-voting day. Not only do people have to vote for our next U.S. president, but as local Californians, we must make decisions about our states.

A.K.A-voting for propositions.

The propositions this election period are very important for the state of California and one specifically may affect Saddleback College.

Prop. 51 is an education bond for $9 billion that would be issued into a 2016 State School Facilities Fund and a 2016 California Community College Capital Outlay Bond Fund if voters approve Prop 51. Proceeds will go to the following: 1) $3 billion for the construction of new school facilities; 2) $500 million for providing school facilities for charter schools;

3) $3 billion for the modernization of school facilities; 4) $500 million for providing facilities for career technical education programs; and 5) $2 billion for acquiring, constructing, renovating, and equipping community college facilities The fiscal impact statement is said to be state costs of about $17.6 billion to pay off both the principal ($9 billion) and interest ($8.6 billion) on the bonds. Payments of about $500 million per year for 35 years. Yes on Proposition 51- Californians for Quality Schools is leading the campaign in support of Prop. 51. The campaign has raised over $11 million dollars and the opposing side, including California Gov. Jerry Brown, has raised zero.

With no campaign contributions for the opposing side, the official political action commit-

tee was also terminated on June 27, 2016. The Yes on Prop. 51 campaign also states that upgrading community college campuses can increase the chance of affordable college for students.

Jonathan Lightman, executive director of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges is quoted in the California Voter’s Guide supporting Prop 51.

“By upgrading and repairing our community college facilities, we can increase access to quality, affordable higher education for all Californians, Our community colleges contribute to the economic and social strength of local communities throughout the state, and help college students avoid thousands of dollars in debt,” Lightman said. “We need to show our support to California’s students.”

However, opposing views think that this bond is morally

wrong, because the majority of the money will go to those schools first in line. That being said, most of the wealthier communities have had dedicated staff to fill out paperwork and will shut out poorer districts that need help most.

“I am against the developers’ $9-billion bond... [it] squanders money that would be far better spent in low-income communities,” Gov. Brown told the L.A. Times last February.

Some feel that this new Prop encourages improper spending in school districts and could possibly create more problems then benefits.

“Rather than forcing school districts into looking at less-expensive and more targeted ways to place much-needed investment into our schools, continuing to approve bond measures only encourages greater public indebtedness,” said the Orange County Register Editorial Board.

Pre-Law Society talks props MACKENZIE QUINN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Saddleback College has a wide variety of student run clubs to choose from. One of the clubs available to students is the ‘Pre Law Society’ club. These students strive everyday to teach others about their basic rights as Americans.

This year, the ‘Pre Law Society’ club is bringing something new to Saddleback College.

Members of the club, led by their president Raja Riahi, 26, business management major, are focusing on creating a ‘Student Bill of Rights’ that will be the basis for all students attending Saddleback College.

“We share the same goal, which is letting everybody, other students, know about their rights,” Riahi said.

Every week, from Monday to

MACKENZIE QUINN/LARIAT

IT’S YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE: The club is stationed out in the quad from Monday-Thursday in order to provide students with the knowledge about how legislature effects them.

Thursday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the ‘Pre Law Society’ club can be found out in the quad handing out pamphlets that supply students with the knowledge of their basic rights as an American. As well as accepting these

pamphlets, students are welcome to sit with members from the club in order to understand the laws more in depth.

“They’re benefiting the entire student population,” said Emily Quinlan, a teacher associated

Life

with the club. “Whether you’re an art major, or getting your degree in architecture [...] law applies to everybody, whether you want to be a lawyer or not.”

Voter registration is great, Riahi explains, but the best part of the club that I like is the Student Bill of Rights because that is going to be here forever.

“This is a long term thing that is going to affect thousands of people, and will have been put into action by current students,” Riahi said.

Students outside of the club are also welcome to add their opinion as well as contribute ideas for the Student Bill of Rights.

“It’s for everyone,” said Riahi. “If anybody has any ideas we really appreciate their input.”

‘Pre Law Society’ meets as a club every Wednesday at 3 p.m. in BGS 235.

Spoiler: ‘The Walking Dead’s’ Negan smashes viewers hearts DENISSE HOBSON OPINION EDITOR

It’s safe to say that if you’re a fan of this zombie apocalyptic show, you may have had a mountain of Kleenex by your side. And it’s for good reason because the world lost yet another favorite character(s).

After the end of season six in April left the biggest cliffhanger of them all. Many wondered who Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, would kill off. It comes as no surprise that 17 million Americans tuned in to see this heavily coveted episode, garnering an 8.4 by the Nielsen rating.

Our beloved Sgt. Abraham Ford and Glenn Rhee’s fate has come to a bloody end. No really, like bashing out brains gross that leaves you sick kind of way.

The episode titled “The Day

Will Come When You Won’t Be,” proved to be the most gut wrenching episode to watch on TV today.

Like a ticking time bomb fans were waiting to explode from anticipation as the episode prolonged, tricking the viewers by showing flashbacks from Rick of each member captured by Negan’s group.

Whether you hate him for his sadistic behaviour, Negan’s the villain you hate to love. He may be on many people’s blacklist, but can you really blame Negan for killing part of Rick Grimes’ group? After all Rick did kill some of Negan’s people, which may have anyone wanting vengence.

The fact of the matter is, that everyone on “The Walking Dead,” has done unspeakable things. At this point the living are worst than the dead, which anyone can testify to who’s watched the show.

AMC

UNDEAD: Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays Negan.

Negan’s testing Rick, trying to break him, and we can see that all throughout the episode.

He needs to know that Rick will no longer feel like the leader that he is, because there can’t be two.

And so Negan drags Rick around like some kind of animal. Even pushing him to cut off his own son’s arm until, in the end Rick’s

huffing and puffing his very soul out and we no longer see the Rick Grimes we knew.

Negan has won, and you can bet that he has more in store.

Our favorite redhead Abraham met the back of Negan’s barb wired bat named Lucille. Minutes later Glen met the same fate, except this time his eye came out of his socket and not unless you’ve read the comics, would you have been prepared.

This one hurt. Glen has been our favorite pizza delivery man.

He was an expecting father, and husband to Maggie who will now have to mother this baby alone.

Maggie, needless to say has really lost it all.

By the end of the episode, you’re left feeling emotionally exhausted. You too bow down to Negan because you just can’t see anyone else die anymore.

HUG A MUSLIM: Students get together to spread the peaceful message of Islam.

A peaceful protest

The Islamic awareness club wants Saddleback students to spread the word in peace KATIE GROAT PHOTO EDITOR

The Islamic Awareness Club held a “silent protest” at Saddleback College on Wednesday, Oct. 19 to bring awareness to the campus students and staff about Islamic culture.

“We are doing this to raise awareness especially around this time with the election that is causing a lot of attention with the media,” said Nathalie Chehayeb, 20, cell and molecular biology major, who is the president of the Islamic Awareness Club.

After the events of Sep. 11, 2001, coverage on the Islamic community increased throughout the news and social media as well as the way Islam was framed in the camera’s eye.

Trump said he wanted to make all Muslim-Americans register with a governmental database, according to CNN. “We want people to know what Islam is really about and how we can all lie together in peace,” Chehayeb said.

The concern of this strict segregation

was not only through the presidential campaigns but also through our campus. Students of the upcoming club walked around campus holding signs that wrote “hug a Muslim” going up to people and offering free hugs.

“The [Islamic Awareness] club is not only about Muslim people, I have a lot of people on board that are not Muslims, this club is really just about diversity and coming together in peace,” Chehayeb said.

Chehayeb said the club is designed to raise awareness about the Islamic religion and Muslim cultures as well as talking through questions, topics, and issues people have and discussions of these topics can easy be talked about in a calm manner through this club.

“I feel that it’s important that everyone feel comfortable around all types of people,” said Afsheen Nikkah, 18, theater arts major. “We should live in a world full of love.”

The club still has yet to decide on a date and place to meet, but for more information or to sign up, go through student development.

MEAGHAN CORKILL LIFE EDITOR

The human services department held the 26th annual Red Ribbon career fair on campus at 11 a.m., Oct. 26. The event is held to not only promote Red Ribbon Week but to give students the opportunity to pursue work experience in the drug and alcohol recovery facilities and other human services.

“This career fair is a great opportunity not only for people pursuing human services majors, but for everyone to get involved,” said Kim Branch-Stewart, department chair of Human Services.

The Whole Life Recovery booth was there to show students that no matter what circumstance you may be under with substance abuse, you have places to go and people to help.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” said U.R. Specialist Crystal Laseman.

As well as Whole Life Recovery, AGAPE House Recovery Centers was there to spread the word.

“I turned to AGAPE when I was young and it led me to Saddleback and get my education,” said Sarah Kelley, 30, Saddleback alumni.

Red Ribbon week was established in honor of Enrique Camarena, a DEA agent who was murdered in 1985. Congressman Duncan Hunter and high school friend Henry Lozano launched “Camarena Clubs” in Calexico, California for members to wear red ribbons and pledge to be drug-free in honor of the sacrifices made by Camarena.

Red Ribbon Week eventually gained recognition throughout California and later the United States celebrated during the last week of October.

STADIUM FINALIZES MAKEOVER Athletics gets a much needed face lift | story & photos by Mackenzie Quinn

S

addleback College has recently announced that they will completely renovating the stadium. In his “Annual Stare of the College: A Great College to Work For” Saddleback College President Tod Burnett mentions this new design.

“Design of our new athletic stadium and sports complex was completed in May 2016, with construction scheduled to begin in late spring or early summer 2017,” Burnett said.

The Saddleback stadium was original built in 1969 and

has not had much work done sense; because of this, the stadium press box and grandstands do not meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. Vice Chancellor Debra Fitzsimons addressed the price difference in order to keep up the stadium with modern times. The original total progress cost for the campaign was $10 million when it was first introduced in 2013. When Fitzsimons reintroduced the renovation project on July 27, 2016, the estimated price had increased to an estimated $49 million for the stadium alone.

Unfortunately, the original budget for the renovation was only $39.525 million.

In order to keep the cost down to $49 million, Fitzsimons has suggested that the stadium be the only thing to be renovated.

Other factors such as the Main Quad, CMU Site Wall, and parking lot will be postponed and available to be worked on separately in the future.

“The college and district discussed strategies to address the shortfall beyond removing those components of the site development project that were already removed,” said Fitzsimons in her presentation to the board.

The proposed ideas include 8,000 new seats, a nine-lane running track, new concession stand, storage facilities for sports equipment, new turf field, new scoreboard, and many other features.

College athletic staff stressed that a bigger stadium would raise awareness of the school in the community as well as qualifies Saddleback College as a location to host athletic competitions and other community events.

Being a stadium that is used for other schools, some feel that Saddleback’s current stadium sets off a bad precedent in its current

Coming soon designs have been posted on the gates outside of the stadium to show guests the future finished product. All those who enter the athletics stadium see these giant banners showing the improvements to be made and what is in store for Saddleback sports in 2018.

There are no restrooms available to the public in the stadium, and in order to find them many of the patrons must exit the venue; this causes many problems with re-entry.

Fitzsimon also stressed in her presentation that because the restrooms are not in the stadium, this could be a security risk when high schools, such as JSerra Catholic High School, use it as their home field.

After these types of events, many of the people who were attending believe that the stadium represents the college and not in the best of ways. Many people leaving are unhappy, with the overly crowded bathrooms and the tight fitting seating overweighing the enjoyment from whatever event they are there to enjoy. This causes people to create a negative connotation of Saddleback College, which is something that people like Burnett are hoping will dissipate when the plans are officially complete.

With these new renovations, staff and students are hoping that the updated stadium

state. Seeing as how the current stadium only seats 4,500 people and Saddleback has over 20,000 students, many big sporting events requires attendees to sit on the hillside once the grandstands fill up.

Chairs and makeshift seats are currently scattered throughout the dirt hills to accommodate those who wish to sit when all of the stadium seats are full.

will create a more welcoming environment as well as show others that Saddleback is a modern and up-to-date college that has a lot to provide students who have a focus in sports.

PCL Construction announced on Oct. 7 that they are partnered with Saddleback College in order to make this athletic stadium possible.

While it is not announced in any of the Saddleback budgets, PCL Construction claims that they will “add a new surface parking lot” to create convenience for those in attendance.

Much of the staff agrees that the stadium renovation is long overdue. After years of consistent whispers from previous board meetings starting back in 2007, even students are happy to see some breakthroughs.

“While I don’t play any of the sports at Saddleback, I think it’s great that they are finally revamping the athletic stadium,” said Justin McGuire, 20, undecided major. “It has been a long time coming and it will be nice for it to actually have things that are convient for the athletes and those attending.”

Burnett released that the renovation should be completed by 2018.

Men’s team brings home a win Gaucho players take action in clutch situations DENISSE HOBSON OPINION EDITOR

Saddleback College men’s water polo team executed a win on Oct. 26 against host Santa Ana College. The Gauchos left with a final score of 16-8, in their favor.

The first quarter of the game, Saddleback’s starting seven players in the water showed an effortless finesse to exchange the ball all across the pool.

Although the team may have been down into the first quarter with Santa Ana scoring 3, Saddleback reacted by putting 4 in the goal as well.

Defender Kai Duty scored into the goal with 4:01 minutes left, showing a solo effort as he pushed through with no defenders on him.

Goalkeeper Riley Webber leapt out of the water with 3:05 minutes left, stopping Santa Ana from further scoring.

With 2:33 minutes left of the first quarter, a foul was called against Santa Ana, in which Saddleback wasted no time, as they quickly showed team effort to get the ball to Jacob Smith to shoot into goal to score.

Leading scorer of the season utility player Max Gonter scored as he was able to shoot without much opposing defense on him with 1:56 minutes left, and again with only 42 seconds left.

Following the success of the first quarter, the Gauchos made substitutions switching out their goalkeeper Riley Webber for Jayden Leacock.

Early on, Gonter gave Santa Ana problems when he shot 30 seconds into the new quarter, missing hitting the post. Set player Spencer Perkins threw the ball, which skidded across hitting the edge of the post with 5:50 left.

DENISSE HOBSON/LARIAT

Big Splash: Players rush throughout the water in order to get the game advantage.

Freshmen Austin Hoff scored the first goal from across the middle of the pool with 4:23 minutes left.

“We had a slow start and then we came out strong in the second half,” said Austin Warren, 19, biology major.

After a deflection from the left side of Santa Ana’s goal post, Jacob Smith took control of the ball and attempted a goal but, Santa Ana’s goalkeeper made the save.

With 3:21 minutes left, Perkins scored from the half of the pool. Following Smith also scored after multiple passes from teammates to solidify the third goal of the second quarter from the right side of the pool with 1:33 minutes left.

Finally, with only 30 seconds left, Austin Warren lifted his body out of the water to score, leaving Saddleback at a comfortable 8 goal lead.

A goal by Perkins with 5:05 minutes remaining, into the third quarter, occurred after passing

from Kai Duty and Jack Dyer.

Gonter once again scored with 4:12 minutes left after a foul was called on Santa Ana. Santa Ana pressured Gauchos’ goalkeeper, Jayden Leacock, with 1:30 minutes remaining, but Leacock was able to deflect the multiple shots fired at him. Later Gonter would punish the Don’s with a goal at 3:13 minutes remaining on the clock, and again at 54 seconds.

Finishing off strong the third quarter with one second left, freshmen Nate Cunningham scored, leaving the scoreboard 136, advantage Saddleback.

The men’s water polo team scored only three in the last quarter of the game with goals from field player freshman Darian Primer early on with 6:01 minutes left. Later Saddleback goalkeeper Jeffrey Rebrukh saved a penalty from Santa Ana, keeping the Gauchos from conceding.

The Gauchos utility player Edward Montgomery added two

goals to his stats, with them at the 4:11 and 3:17 minute marks left of the last quarter to solidify the men’s water polo victory against Santa Ana College.

Head Coach Pat Higginson was pleased his team gained another victory, moving the men’s water polo team closer up in the Orange Empire Conference.

“I’m happy with the guys, we had a slow start but they finally put it together. Most importantly the second string of my team really did a good job,” said Pat Higginson, the teams head coach.

Saddleback players were also content with their win against Santa Ana College.

“We didn’t really have a good feel for the game at first starting off slow, and once we warmed up we did a lot better,” said Max Gonter, 18, political science major. “Hopefully we can do something with conference and make it to SoCal this season and maybe even state.”

Women win water wars Woman’s waterpolo leds in another victory against Santa Ana College NATALIA POUR OPINION EDITOR

Saddleback College women water polo took the win this past Thursday against Santa Ana College defeating them by a score of 17-6. Gauchos came in hard and eager to win after a few losses against Ventura and Mt. San Antonio colleges.

Saddleback dominated the first quarter of the game gaining the 17

points all within the first quarter.

Elle Catacutan, field player and sophomore, made the first two goals assisted by Lauren Kennedy, lefty field player and freshman, which eventually led to a victory for the them.

Gauchos encountered some challenges over the size of the Santa Ana pool and members of the team felt there was some disadvantages that came with it.

“We did well.” Kennedy said.

“Though the pool was a lot smaller than we’re used to and we felt more clumped together, which I felt kept us from driving as hard as we usually do.”

Even though Saddleback may have felt they were not able be as aggressive as they normally are that didn’t stop them from having a strong offensive team leading to a win.

By midway first quarter Gauchos led with a score of 14-0 with no shots

made by the Santa Ana’s Dons.

Maddie Alexander, set player and freshman, ended the first quarter making six scores contributing to the win.

Don’s finally made one by shot by the end of first quarter while Gauchos had a strong lead of 17-1.

Throughout the second and third quarter, Gauchos maintained excellent efforts to stay on top with their defensive tactics and pushing offense.

Alexander, who is also the team captain, was happy with the results of the game, however felt communication lacked and is definitely something the team will work on for future games.

“Communication was an issue that we had,” Alexander said. “We didn’t know where we suppose to go on our 6 on 5, but that is something we will work on and correct this weekend.”

Even with a strong win, Alexander

still looks for the improvements that can be made for the following games.

Ending the game with the final score of 17-6 the Gauchos were happy with their win. Head Coach Jennifer Higgison appreciated both efforts of each team.

“Santa Ana had some really good players and took advantage of some of our defensive weaknesses, but our girls went ahead, adjusted and played really well,” Higgison said.

Gauchos are preparing for a tournament this weekend and will be ready to give it their all.

“We have two games this weekend with Santa Barbara and Southwestern, and then we have conference next week.” Higgison said. “We are really excited and happy with the results [and] really glad that Santa Ana gave us a good game and made us adjust our offense and defense.”
