Just not enough Mustangs lose the Blue-Green game 2-1 Ayrton Ostly @ AyrtonOstly
The Cal Poly men’s soccer team lost 2-1 to UC Santa Barbara Saturday night in the latest edition of the Blue-Green Rivalry. As usual, the match was hard fought by both sides for 90 minutes, but the Gauchos managed to come away with the win in front of another sellout crowd at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Coming in to the game, the Mustangs (3-8-2, 1-4-1 Big West) were optimistic, wanting to win out the rest of conference play and have a chance at the NCA tournament. If they won, the Mustangs could have played spoiler to the Gauchos’ (8-5-2, 4-0-2) hopes of running away with the conference title. Many expectations and one night to make it happen. The game got off to a rough start as multiple fouls were called in the first ten minutes. A physical style of play favored the Gauchos with their bigger starters, including forward Nick DePuy at 6-foot-5 and midfielder Kevin Feucht at 6-foot3. The Mustangs’ starters were at a size disadvantage and had to overcome the slippery conditions to have a chance at victory. That aside, it looked like there might not even be a 44th edition of the Blue-Green game. The referees stopped the match at the 13-minute mark due to scores of tortillas raining down from the crowd onto the field. Six
minutes later, the announcer relayed multiple warnings to the sold out crowd that the game would be canceled if tortillas continued to fly. But the game continued on after the warnings and freshman midfielder Christian Enriquez scored the first goal of his career 31 minutes into the match. Enriquez fired the shot unassisted from 20 feet outside the penalty box. As the ball slid past the Gauchos’ freshman goalkeeper Titouan Le Roux, the crowd at Spanos erupted in cheers and shook the stands in elation. “We already had an advantage with the fans so we were pretty hyped up from that,” Enriquez said. “Scoring a goal in the first half just gave us more confidence to keep going.” However, the lead would not last long. Three minutes later, the Gauchos gained possession near Cal Poly’s net following a foul. After a few passes around the penalty box, junior forward Ahinga Selemani tied the game for the Gauchos. His shot deflected off the hands of junior goalkeeper Eric Kam into the back corner of the net to quiet the Mustang crowd. The 1-1 tie would carry into halftime as neither team completed attacks in the waning minutes of the half. Coming out of halftime, the rain started to pour down on the field and made the already damp conditions worse
for both sides. Nevertheless, the Mustangs had multiple chances at scoring in the first 15 minutes of the second half. Enriquez knocked a through ball in the 53rd minute to senior forward Justin Dhillon but was just inches too far for him to head into goal. Junior defender Tony Scimeca tried his luck at a header three minutes later, but Le Roux snagged another save. Enriquez later fired a pass from the corner to Scimeca in the box but the shot was far too high to make it in the goal. With the Mustangs unable to make the most of their attacks, the Gauchos had the chance to score the go ahead goal. Following a foul in the penalty box, Feucht lined up for a penalty kick. He drilled it into the corner of the net, as he’s done a conference-leading eight times before. That shot proved to be too much for the Mustangs to overcome. Sophomore forward Jared Pressley’s shot in the 76th minute came just feet away from tying the game, but was too wide. He had great position five minutes later, but Enriquez’s through ball missed him. Redshirt sophomore defender Nick Carroll had a corner kick on the Gauchos’ side of the field and got a chance at scoring off a blocked shot but his attempt was well wide of the goal. As time wound down, desperation led to penalties for Cal Poly. Pressley and senior midfielder Ruben Duran were both given

yellow cards in the 86th minute, two of the three total given to the team. By the final buzzer, an exhausted Mustang squad walked the edge of the field to high five the fans in defeat. On paper, this game favored the Gauchos in almost every way. They were a bigger, more experienced, high-scoring team at the top of the conference standings. The Mustangs putting up such a good fight is a win in itself and gives the team
a plan to go off of for next Saturday’s rematch in Santa Barbara. “We need to play faster in the first half and take advantage of finding the open spaces in the opposite side of the field,” head coach Steve Sampson said. “Those little details, understanding where the spaces are and how to exploit them, that has to take place next week.” The nation’s best rivalry didn’t go the Mustangs way this time but provided a great show in its

44th chapter. If this young Cal Poly team can put it together before the end of the season and into next year, the next chapters of the men’s soccer Blue-Green Rivalry will likely look different on the scoreboard. “Overall, with the young players—Jared Pressley, [sophomore midfielder] George Grote, Christian Enriquez, [freshman midfielder] Kenny Higgins, this program has a bright future,” Sampson said.

On-campus journals give students a chance at publication
Brendan Matsuyama @ CPMustangNews
Student journals exemplify Cal Poly’s Learn By Doing philosophy, involving Cal Poly students in the submission and editing process. Journals like Paideia, The Forum and Symposium even
have editorial boards made up entirely of students. Political science associate professor and Paideia faculty adviser Anika Leithner noted that a Cal Poly graduate’s Paideia submission put him above others when applying to John Hopkins University. Some departments spon-
sor the publication of these journals. Most are available online, while a number also offer printed editions — some for free. Five of Cal Poly’s academic journals are listed below with information regarding their history, discipline and submission information.
Focus (City and regional planning)
The Forum: Journal of History (History) Origin The Forum is a journal focused on historic topics and was created by Cal Poly’s chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, an honor society for history students and professors. Its editorial board is made up entirely of students. Submissions Published annually around the end of spring quarter in time for graduation and the history department’s annual banquet, the tentative submission deadline for The Forum is finals week of winter quarter. Student submissions must be recommended by a professor, but a student does not have to be a history major to submit. History department chair Lewis Call is the faculty adviser for The Forum and encourages interdisciplinary article submissions. “[The Forum publishes] student work from every level,” Call said. “Including 100-levels to senior projects and graduate students.” The Forum is available in both digital and print formats. The digital version is available on its Digital Commons page and more information is available on its website.
Origin Focus is the first academic journal for the city and regional planning (CRP) department and College of Architecture and Environmental Design. It began in 2002 and has been published annually since, making it one of the oldest Cal Poly journals still in publication. Submissions Focus publishes articles in topics related to city planning and urban design. The journal includes a section where submissions are blindly reviewed by guests to ensure academic quality. Its Digital Commons page has received recognition and awards from the Planning Accreditation Board, American Planning Association and Urban Planning Institute. Focus has had its articles downloaded more than 107,000 times via Cal Poly’s Digital Commons service at the time of writing, with print copies available via an on-demand print service on Amazon. City and regional planning professor and founder of Focus Vicente del Rio, thinks the journal’s reach goes beyond just Cal Poly. “Students achieve a wide recognition from a wide audience,” del Rio said. “[It] can help open doors for them when looking for a job, and attract potential new students and clients, or communities that would like our studios to get involved with doing a plan or a project in their cities.”
Paideia (Political science) Origin Paideia is Cal Poly’s political science journal launched as a senior project by political science graduates Joi Sullivan and Katie Magnus. “They did a lot of thinking about the Learn By Doing model at Cal Poly,” Leithner said. “They were pretty bothered by the fact that there was no tangible evidence that we [political science department] also do Learn By Doing.” Keeping in line with the Cal Poly motto, the editorial board of the journal is solely comprised of students. Submissions Paideia publishes annually in the spring and the submission deadline for Volume 4 of Paideia is week 5 of winter quarter. The journal only accepts submissions from political science majors and minors, political science alumni and public policy graduate students. The types of submissions accepted range from book reviews to senior projects, comparative essays, personal experience essays, research papers and op-eds. Print copies of Paideia are currently available for free at the political science department and the journal has plans to publish digitally– via Digital Commons in the future.
Sprinkle (Women’s and gender studies)
Symposium (College of Science and Math)
Origin Sprinkle was created in 2007 by education assistant professor Elizabeth Meyer as a collection of her students’ work during her time as a faculty member at McGill University in Montreal. Named after sex educator Annie Sprinkle, the journal publishes topics in feminist studies and queer studies, though it is looking to broaden its subject matter, according to associate editor Alex Castro. “As we discuss topics not usually touched on in mainstream feminist circles, we are helping to shape the discussions being had about feminist studies and queer theory,” Castro said. “We are hoping to incorporate more creative submissions into future journals, as well as broadening the scope.”
Origin Symposium is a journal published through the College of Science and Math created as a senior project by biological sciences alumna Lauren Young, who also acted as its first editor-in-chief. The student-run journal, whose editorial board is made up entirely of students, publishes works pertaining to the sciences.
Submissions Submissions for Volume 10 of the journal will be taken until the end of winter quarter, with publication planned in mid-May 2017. Additionally, Sprinkle is recruiting members for its editorial board for its 2016-17 edition with an application deadline set for Nov. 18. Sprinkle currently publishes digitally via The Freire Project’s website. Print copies of Volumes 5-9 are available at the women’s and gender studies department offices. “Sprinkle has allowed the students who submit a platform to showcase their work on a national scale,” Castro said. “Many professors use the articles that we publish in their classrooms, not just at Cal Poly, but all over the nation, so this is a huge opportunity to get their voices heard.”
Submissions In addition to conventional research papers, Symposium is considering publishing creative works such as poems or artwork that relate to the sciences. Biological sciences professor and Symposium faculty adviser Elena Keeling envisions accepting more creative submissions in the future to add variety to Symposium. “I’ve had students in some of my classes spontaneously write a pretty long poem about this topic in biology that we were talking about,” Keeling said. “That kind of creative writing might provide an avenue for more students who are thinking about science and math interests from a slightly different perspective.” Volume 3 of Symposium is set to release in the near future. Symposium is currently available digitally through Digital Commons.

Importance of flexing the student vote
ASSOCIATED STUDENTS, INC | COURTESY PHOTO
ROCK THE VOTE | The campaign encourages students to register to vote for the elections. The registration happens entirely online. Sydney Harder @ CPMustangNews
As voter apathy escalates across most college campuses, the Flex Your Right voter registration campaign hosted by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is actively combatting this at Cal Poly. Organized by ASI Chief of Staff and philosophy senior Anthony Haddad, Flex Your Right centers around TurboVote, an online platform that allows students to register to vote in less than five minutes. “Using that service, we can
actually go to classrooms, to clubs and have students register, even on their phones,” Haddad said. A crucial aspect of this campaign is encouraging students to vote not only on the federal level, but also in the San Luis Obispo city elections. “Our main focus is really registering people in SLO because this is our home away from home, this is where we spend four years of our lives,” Haddad said. The impetus for Flex Your Right
stemmed from the passage of stricter city ordinances two summers ago. Ultimately, student voices regarding the measures went unheard, sparking the need for this movement. Power in numbers Should they choose to exercise their political power, Cal Poly students would hold significant influence over local elections. Considering that 18 to 24-yearolds make up more than one third of the population in San Luis Obispo, students have a heavy
K-9 units join University Police Department

| UPD received two german shepherds for their first K-9 units. One of the dogs is from Germany.
Connor McCarthy @ conr_mccarthy
After months of fundraising and training, the University Police Department (UPD) has two new K-9 units to add to their force. UPD held a fundraiser in the beginning of the year to raise money for the dogs. It costs $80,000 for a K-9 unit, which includes a customized K-9 car, training for the dog and officer, food, veterinary costs and housing for the dog. As a result of donations, the department was able to receive one five and one two-year-old german shepherd. These dogs are trained to have many search skills. “It’ll be a patrol dog and then we are also going to train it in tracking,” UPD Chief of Police George Hughes said. “We can also train it in drugs and bomb sniffing.”
The five-year-old K-9, Xello, already has a history of tracking. His handler, officer Stephanie Pipan, said that over the past five years, Xello has found numerous children and elderly people who were missing. “He can track on asphalt, concrete, or anything that is hard surface,” Pipan said. “A lot of dogs have a hard time with it. You have to be fully trained.” UPD had been using dogs as part of their patrols in the past, but these K-9s were borrowed for the San Luis Obispo Police Department and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff ’s department. In January when there was a bomb scare on the city buses, Hughes said the department had to borrow resources. Having trained K-9 units within UPD will help in situations like this.
Yet these K-9s are not just police dogs, Pipan said. They are also community dogs. “They are not just for the students and faculty,” Pipan said. “They’re great protectors for all of us. The tracking is a great service for all of us.” The other K-9 unit, including two-year-old Brizaunt, just started as a tracking unit. He and his handling officer just arrived from training in Germany. Xello, on the other hand, worked in the Morro Bay Police Department for five years before Pipan transferred to UPD. Pipan has been Xello’s handler for his whole career and she is happy to be part of it. “So this is probably the best job I’ve ever had,” Pipan said. “I’ve always wanted to be a K-9 officer. Having a K-9 is the best job ever.”
hand on the vote. “A lot of people say ‘you don’t have a say, [the] majority is going to win’, but if everybody votes, you never know what can happen,” nutrition sophomore Kim Tuckness said. Breaking the “college student” stereotype Student voting can do more than just get their say on a certain ordinance or candidate— it changes perceptions. “Show the community that we’re here, we’re part of the community,
we care about the SLO community, we’re invested in it, instead of [residents] seeing college kids as always throwing parties, as a nuisance,” history sophomore Kristina Carroll said. Carroll added that the Flex Your Right campaign ultimately encourages students, especially freshmen, to become more invested in “[learning] the hard work and the effort it takes to be a participating citizen.” ASI predicts to have more than 2,000 new student voters registering by the end of the campaign
on Oct. 24. Following the end of Flex Your Right, student government will commence an informational campaign focusing on the logistics of the November ballot, including upcoming propositions many students do not know about. “One of my professors says ‘the study of history is the study of propaganda’,” Carroll said. “So if you can sort through it, you’re on your way to becoming a critical thinker and engaging with the issues.” To register to vote, visit www.calpoly.turbovote.org.

Seeing full-length tables on lawns around San Luis Obispo is not uncommon. These tables are typically set out for games of beer die. The origins of the tables and game in California are murky, but it’s no stranger to college campuses on the West Coast. Rumored to have started in Maine, the game of beer die consists of four players, two on each team. A die is thrown in the air, with the thrower hoping it lands on the other team’s side. It must bounce off the table without being caught in order for the thrower to earn a point. The opposing team may catch the die to prevent the other team from gaining points. The basic rules are universal, but one thing unique to the beer die community in California, and a few neighboring states such as Arizona and Nevada, is the artwork.
MUSTANG NEWS
How to combine art and beer “It gets people outside in our beautiful weather and playing together on what is essentially a canvas that people have put an amazing amount of time, effort and financial resources into,” journalism junior Wren Fox said. Table art has become quite popular throughout California, typically in college towns where large numbers of people enjoy playing table games like beer pong or beer die. “I love to paint and wanted a bigger canvas to take advantage of,” graphic communication junior Marley Thuma said. Thuma used her art skills to design a Sierra Nevada logo with Bishop’s Peak and Madonna Peak, adding a little bit
of San Luis Obispo in the middle. She sells stickers of this logo on RedBubble. Personalizing a table can be a fun thing to do with friends or roommates, but it can also be a bigger, better and more public way to display craftsmanship. Computer engineering junior Brianna Solorzano took a free table and turned it into a bonding activity with her roommates. “We got the table and it was large and boring and white,” Solorzano said. “My roommates and I decided we needed to come up with something to paint on it to give the table some personality.” An 805 Firestone logo with some San Luis Obispo customizations now spans the once plain table.
AUSTIN SELIG | “DRINKS OUT FOR HARAMBE”
People who are serious about the craftsmanship of their tables go so far as to buy materials and build the tables themselves. This art form can be enjoyed by everyone, whether you’re taking pride in your art or playing a game on a deckedout table. “At the end of the day, no matter what game is played on the table or what beverage it’s used with, no matter if you’re in greek life, a sports team or in a club, it’s something that can bring together the student body and community in general from pretty much all walks of life,” Fox said.

Music Production Union: Cal Poly’s hub for musical innovation Nicole Horton @ CPMustangNews
Coming into his first year at Cal Poly, industrial engineering senior Logan Kregness was in search of a place to express himself creatively. A po-
et-turned-rapper, Kregness wanted a community that would foster his talents and push him as an artist. After meeting musicians in his residence hall, Kregness realized he wasn’t alone in this search. Much to his surprise, no organi-
zations other than Cal Poly bands existed to celebrate the student body’s affinity for making music. Kregness took it upon himself to create this space, and in Spring 2014 he began the Music Production Union (MPU). What started as a group of
about 10 students from the Santa Lucia residence hall has now expanded to a flood of artists of all trades, skill-levels and backgrounds collaborating every Monday night from 8-10 p.m. in the lower level of Graphic Arts (building 26). Whether students want to offer their voices or lyrics for a producer’s new track, jam out to classic hits or present their original work, MPU encourages any and all acts of musical creativity. “This is an extremely friendly and uplifting environment, and although I still get horrible nerves when performing, this club has helped me tremendously in breaking out of my shell,”
ELENA AKER | “CUERVO CARTEL”
biochemistry junior Janine Bach said. “This is the place to experiment, find new friends, new music and yourself.” MPU members gain much more than musical skill in the club. For some, like singer-songwriter Bach, it’s the confidence to present their art in public. For others, like anthropology and geography junior and guitar player CJ Salyer, it’s lifelong friendships with people who share similar interests and values. “MPU has introduced me to so many great people,” Salyer said. “Not only do I have people I can hit up any day of the week to jam with, but I’ve met people I can
rely on and call my friends.” People can catch a glimpse of MPU at one of their quarterly shows in the University Union Plaza, or watch their rap and production group “Flak Mob” headline a show at SLO Donut Co. this winter. Also in the works is “Operation: Hip Hop,” possibly MPU’s biggest event that will feature student rappers, breakdancers and DJs in Chumash Auditorium on Feb. 10.

MUSTANG NEWS
The difference between political correctness and
racism
Elias Atienza @ elias_atienza
Let’s imagine two scenarios. In the first, we have a college student who joked about his looks, calling himself handsome in his Chinese class. For this sarcastic comment alone, he was forced to undergo months of bureaucratic punishment because students in the class took offense to the joke he made about himself. He was reported to the “Gender-Based Misconduct Office” that mandated he be “re-educated” because the case manager deemed his remarks as a classic example of white privilege. In our second scenario, a national news agency sends a reporter to Chinatown in New York, where he exclusively targets elderly Chinese people by asking them their thoughts on the election, then mocks them for their inability to speak English. All the while, he is littering the segment with references to Karate Kid and other common Asian stereotypes. Now, the first scenario is the classic example of political correctness gone too far — a college student who joked about his looks and was sent to the college administrators. This wasn’t a joke about minorities; not a joke playing on the prejudices of people watching a national television segment. This was a college student who joked about his own appearance. The second scenario is an example of playing on racial stereotypes and exploiting minorities for a cheap joke. Instead of doing an in-depth and consequential
analysis of what the Asian American community thought of the current political climate, Fox News targeted the older Asian community becasue they saw them as a demographic that’s easy to pick on. Their only defense for their actions was simply “The country needs to stop being so sensitive.” As if the ubiquitous negative reaction to their overt racism could simply be attributed to the growing trend of political correctness. Unfortunately, both of these scenarios are real. America is a place where some feel the need to report someone who calls himself handsome while others hand wave a news studio’s racist segment. There is a difference between political correctness and being borderline racist. The true debate is whether it’s a fine line or a gray area. Political correctness is a controversial topic; words can hurt people. Even the strongest of people can be brought down with a sentence. Nobody wants to be called names, especially when it comes to race and religion. Imagine if every day you were called a racial epithet, attacked or mistrusted because of your religion or perhaps you were denied certain things because of who you are. The real issue is that political correctness goes too far when it comes to countering racism. The original intent of political correctness, to inspire tact and sensitivity to other’s plights, has led to a crusade against anything that can be deemed offensive. However, instead of dealing with topics like race, religion and sex with tact and sensitivity, we tend to avoid

Breaking the right-left spectrum these conversations completely. This becomes a common effect of political correctness; because we no longer have the ability to deal with these topics without thinking we are going to offend someone. There is a difference between flouting the authority of the PC Police and actually being racist. The Chinatown segment, ran by Fox News’ Jesse Watters, was the classic case of actual racism. Why? Because they picked on people who could not defend themselves. They picked on elderly Chinese people who did not know English, and littered the segment with outdated references to a Japanese, not even Chinese, movie. They humiliated people because of their ethnicity.
Instead of looking to learn about what Asian Americans think of the 2016 election, they went looking for a cheap racist joke. Some of the defendants may claim the entire thing was about being light-hearted and opening up a conversation. That unlike political correctness, which is ensuring that we never talk about these topics, it’s creating a space for discussion. Cheap jokes at the expense of elderly minorities who actually might have an opinion on the subject is racism. Adhering to overly politically correct rules might ensure we never had this conversation in the first place,.But what Jesse Watters did was truly offensive. No resulting conversation can justify said racism.

Cal Poly lights up Portland State 55-35 Mustang News Staff Report @ CPMustangSports
CAL POLY ATHLETICS | COURTESY PHOTO F I R E AWAY
| S enior quar terback Dano Graves looks to complete one of his 13 passes in the win Saturday at Portland.
On Saturday afternoon, the no.19 Cal Poly football team used a successful rushing attack to take down the Portland State Vikings 55-35 in Portland. Senior quarterback Dano Graves led the offensive explosion, completing 12 of 13 passes for 166 yards and three touchdowns. Junior slotback Kyle Lewis put on a performance offensively as well, running for 158 yards on just 11 carries. Graves started the scoring early, throwing for two touchdown passes in the first 11 minutes to senior slotback Kori Garcia and redshirt freshman wide receiver J.J. Koski, respectively. Portland State (2-5, 1-3) countered the second Cal Poly (4-2, 2-1) touchdown quickly, as kick returner Kahlil Dawson took the ensuing kickoff 83 yards for a score to make it 13-7. Portland State used a pair of defensive stops in the second quarter to set up their offense in scoring position. Quarterback Alex Kuresa punched it in from four yards out to put the Vikings up 14-13. From that point on in the second quarter, Cal Poly scored 14 unanswered points before halftime. One touchdown came on a seven yard run by Garcia and the other came on a nine yard run by junior fullback Joe Protheroe to give the Mustangs a 27-14 lead going into halftime. After the half, it was clear Cal Poly was in control. Graves started the scoring five minutes into the quarter with a 28-yard pass to senior wide receiver Carson Mc-
Murtrey to put Cal Poly up 34-14. The Vikings responded with a 25yard touchdown pass to make it 34-21 halfway through the third quarter. Cal Poly returned the favor four minutes later when Lewis scored on a 20-yard run to make it 41-21. Not to be outdone, Portland State scored again in the final minutes of the quarter on a fouryard touchdown pass to close the third quarter. The Mustangs headed into the final quarter with a 41-28 lead. To close the game they dominated time of possession, keeping their offense on the field for four minutes more than Portland State. Protheroe began the quarter’s scoring with a 31-yard scamper up the middle for a touchdown. The Vikings scored on the ensuing possession to narrow the Mustangs’ lead to two scores. But, as they’d done throughout the game, the Mustangs responded right away with a score. Lewis took a pitch from Graves 70 yards to the house to give Cal Poly a 55-35 lead they’d keep for the final six minutes of the game. In a game that featured 90 points and 1,005 yards from both teams combined, it was Cal Poly’s run defense that came up with a good effort. Portland State averaged about 238 yards per game on the ground but the Mustangs held the offense to just 72 yards rushing. On the other side, the Mustangs’ rushing offense continued its impressive season, totaling 462 of the team’s 658 yards on offense. Next weekend, the Mustangs will host this year’s edition of the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe against UC Davis (2-5, 1-3).
