CSU system, union reach agreement to avert strike

BREAKING GROUND

BRIANNE O’SULLIVAN News editor The California State University system and its faculty union reached a tentative labor deal Friday that averted a strike scheduled to begin this week. In February, the CSU faculty union announced that it would hold a system-wide strike in April if the union and CSU system failed to reach an agreement over salaries. The strike was planned for April 13, 14, 15, 18 and 19. Cal State employees were asking for a 5 percent raise, but the CSU administration had only been willing to offer 2 percent.

An independent fact-finding report concluded that CSU faculty members were being paid below the market rate. According to CSU Chancellor Timothy White, this prompted the two sides to reach a three-year agreement. The tentative agreement includes three general salary increases: 5 perent on June 30, 2016, 2 percent on July 1, 2016, and 3.5 percent on July 1, 2017, and an additional 2.65 percent service salary increase in 2017-18 for certain faculty members. It is reported that the tentative agreement also doubles the Continued on Page 3

One of his top concerns and priorities is the national debt, an issue he thinks young voters should be particularly invested in because it will affect their futures and possibly our country’s autonomy. After graduating from a public high school in San Jose, he attended De Anza College in Cupertino and went on to transfer to and graduate from San Jose State University.

candidates’ proposals for free higher education. “Making it free is like Santa Claus,” he said. Oliverio went on to say that, while it is a state issue, he supports making public universities more affordable. As for the federal aspect of making college more financially attainable, Oliverio agrees with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s proposal that federal student loans

should be set at the same rate that banks charge one another for short-term borrowing. Banks borrow at a much lower rate than federal student loans. Oliverio explained that throughout his 10 years as a City Council member he has “looked at the merit of proposals and then made pragmatic, independent decisions,” and said he can be counted to do the same if elected to Congress.

Both the CSU governing board and union members still have to vote on the agreement. White expects the changes to salaries to cost about $200 million. More than half of the costs will be budgeted by CSU, but both faculty members and the CSU administration also plan to lobby the state government for more funds.

“This dispute was an unfortunate symptom of a core problem in California, which is that the California State University and for that matter, the University of California, are underfunded relative to the state’s need for an educated populace,” White told the Associated Press. There are 23 campuses in the CSU system serving 470,000 students. From 2014 to 2015, 487 Ohlone College students accepted admissions to a California State University.

Day of Dialogue offers open forum on mental health Continued from Page 1 tor of personal counseling and life coaching services. “We partnered with AFSP and have been doing this walk ever since, which brings awareness to people that there’s help available, that no one has to feel alone, and prevents the taking of life by suicide.” Wednesday’s walk was done on a trail that surrounds the Newark campus. All proceeds from donations and fundraising go toward suicide-prevention

initiatives and mental health counseling. The event followed Tuesday’s Day of Dialogue, which was held in the Newark center lobby. The event, which lasted from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., is done annually to “promote awareness of mental health and break the stigma from people getting help for their mental issues,” O’Neill said. The Day of Dialogue also was organized by STEP Up Ohlone. This year, the group launched a new Show Your Love Campaign to promote

healthy lifestyles for men and women. Its program also included live depression screenings for students, social outreach through a weeklong “Text, Talk, Act” initiative, and fun activities like bingo. As part of their campaign, STEP Up representatives “dressed up as different vegetables with catchphrases such as ‘I Care-ott about You,’ ‘Let-tuce Talk’ and ‘You’re the Apple of my Eye’ to ease people into the atmosphere and open up,” health promotion specialist

Luwissa Wong said. “More people come in to talk about their problems after every Day of Dialogue, which is the goal of events like these, to get people to reach out,” O’Neill said. “We know for a fact that when we talk, it releases our stress. So people come to me for that. It’s completely confidential and I’m

removed from their social circle, so it becomes a safe space for them to express themselves.” Students pay a $19 student health fee, which entitles them to come to either the Newark or Fremont health centers. The Newark office is in the lobby, and the Fremont office is on the third floor of Building 7.

FEATURES CBS Radio for sale It’s been rumored for what seems like years, and last month CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves officially confirmed that the company is planning to sell its entire radio division. Moonves said the company will explore all alternatives including a sale, a spinoff or even a swap. The goal is to “unlock value for our shareholders.” Here’s the statement sent out from CBS Radio headquarters about the plan to move the radio stations: “CBS Radio is a terrific organization, with a tremendous history and a great future. It makes sense that CBS Corporation, a company that is now focused primarily on premium video content, would choose to unlock the value of its radio operation. While it is still

very early in this process, we are enthusiastic about the possibilities that lie ahead, and look forward to competing in this evolving industry with the strongest portfolio of major-market brands in the radio business. Going forward, we will do everything we can to assist in this transformative action and believe it will be to the benefit of our division, our stations, and our people.” CBS began in 1927 as a radio company, and at its peak owned close to 200 AM and FM stations. Its holdings include many iconic stations including the allnews outlet WINS-AM in New York, known as 1010 WINS with the motto, “You give us 22 minutes, we’ll give you the world.” It has seven stations each in New York and Chicago, and six in Los Angeles. CBS Radio was also the birthplace of CBS News and the launching pad for legendary journalists Edward R. Murrow, Eric Sevareid and Walter Cronkite. Over the last several years, radio has become less of a priority for CBS. CBS currently owns 117 stations in 26 markets, including San Francisco stations KLLC (Alice at 97.3), KMVQ (99.7 NOW ), KITS (Live 105), and the all news

combo of KCBS-AM and KFRC-FM.

New format for KLIV KLIV in San Jose has announced that it will change the all-news format that the station had for three decades to classic country music within a few weeks. Empire Broadcasting owner Robert Kieve made the announcement on the station’s website, saying, “We hope that you can view this change with sympathy – and that you give our new format a fair listen. Although the changes are still weeks away, we wanted you to know about our plans.” Kieve, 94, was a member of President Dwight Eisenhower’s administration in the 1950s.

Pay attention to down-ticket races Media coverage and discussion of the presidential race and politics can, at times, be incredibly frustrating. One of the most maddening things about the upcoming election is the lack of attention that candidates for non-presidential positions receive. In fact, due to the amount of coverage they receive, you would think that Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Clinton and Sanders are the only people running for a position in the

Trigger Warning Last week, Kesha posted an Instagram selfie with the caption “so. I got offered my freedom IF i were to lie. I would have to APOLOGIZE publicly and say that I never got raped. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS behind closed doors. I will not take back the TRUTH. I would rather let the truth ruin my career than lie for a monster ever again.” You may remember her 2014 claim that DJ and

entire federal government. However, nothing could be further from the truth. In 2016, there are 34 U.S. senators and 435 House members (all of them) up for re-election. There are even more elections at the state and local levels; the people elected to these positions are making decisions that affect the average person every day. When you compare the quantity and quality of discussions about these candidates and races to the presidential candidates and race, there is a huge disparity. No one is paying enough attention to the other races. So, why aren’t people showing interest in these other, crucial elections? It might be that the presidential campaigns are much more romantic than, say, the campaign of someone running for City Council. You get the big endorsements, you get to talk about the big issues, and you might just go down in American history.

This isn’t necessarily the case with more local elections. Or maybe it is because the public is led to believe that the race for president is the end-all-be-all of politics – get the right guy (or gal) in the Oval Office, and all our problems will be solved. In all honesty, it matters little whom you elect president if Congress continues to be gridlocked. Partisanship and a lack of compromise has made it so very little is being done about important issues. Think of Barack Obama’s presidency and all the things he had planned compared to what he was able to enact into law. He struggled with Congress every step of the way. Congressional contests do matter, although they get very little coverage. Many issues we face today that we want to see changed are under the jurisdiction of local and state governments. But if people aren’t engaged enough with these candi-

dates, their stances, and local avenues for change, nothing will progress. The President of the United States of America is an incredibly important position, person and institution.

producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald sexually assaulted her. More likely, you may remember the recent wave of public support for Kesha from fans and other celebrities using the hashtags “IStandWithKesha” and “FreeKesha.” Kesha has been seeking freedom from her Sony label so she can finally remove herself from the man who she claims sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused her for a decade. The court denied her request to break the contract, on the basis that Kesha may work with other producers on the Sony label. *eye roll* A spokesperson for Dr. Luke provided a statement to the Huffington Post claiming that Kesha’s post and other claims of abuse are false; the statement also attacks Kesha for continuing to work with

Dr. Luke after the abuse “supposedly happened.” Now that you have some background on the matter at hand, we are going to talk about two of the many issues I have with this entire situation: 1. The court’s refusal to allow Kesha to be removed from her label. 2. The insinuation that Kesha lied because she continued to work with her alleged abuser. The court refused Kesha’s motion on the basis that she can work with other producers with the label. Sounds fairly reasonable, right? Wrong. Forcing Kesha to stay in the same general vicinity as the man who she claims abused her is an extremely violent act in itself. Being a victim of rape and abuse is something that is difficult to explain, and it is different for every victim.

But one thing remains: the paralyzing fear of the person who violated their body in the most awful and personal way possible. At the beginning of this column, I put the words “Trigger Warning”; the reason for these two words is that rape and abuse do not end when the abuse ends. They continue, every single day. Images, words, smells, anything can trigger the feeling they had when their attacker hurt them. Now, imagine that Kesha’s label, the image of her abuser, the very music she made with him, may be her triggers. Working with the Sony label will make Kesha’s entire life a “Trigger Warning.” Now, let’s talk about the fact that she continued to work with her abuser, did not turn him in, and “allowed” the abuse to continue.

CAMPUS COMMENT

However, more attention needs to be paid to local leaders and other state and federal candidates. One person cannot bring about the change our country may – or may not – need.

You can register to vote online by filling in the application on the Secretary of State’s website at https:// covr.sos.ca.gov. In addition, voter registration forms are available at the Alameda County Registrar of Voters Office in the Alameda County Courthouse at 1225 Fallon St., Room G-1, Oakland, CA 94612. Forms also are available at all offices of the Department of Motor Vehicles, city clerk’s offices, public libraries and post offices. For more information, call the Registrar of Voters Office at 510-267-8683 or the Secretary of State’s Elections Division at 800-345-VOTE. To register to vote, a person must be a U.S. citizen; a California resident; not in prison or on parole for the conviction of a felony; not declared mentally incompetent by a court; and at least 18 years old on the date of the next election. The voter registration deadline is 15 days before an election. Voters who register after the 29th day before an election may not receive a sample ballot. To be clear, I must state a few things: No one “allows” themselves to be abused. Abuse and violence happen to them and that is not their fault or in their control. The mental state of someone who has been abused is unfathomable and cannot be understood by someone who is not in the victim’s situation. The fear that comes with abuse can be so paralyzing for a victim that turning in their attacker seems like an impossible task. So, the violence that Kesha says she experienced was not her fault, no one can possibly understand the mental state she would have been in during the attacks, and turning in Dr. Luke must have taken all the courage she had left. #IStandWithKesha #FreeKesha

Much of the students’ work was hand-picked by juror Gina Borg, and is now on display at the LouieMeager Art Gallery in the Smith Center. There were 10 different categories: painting, drawing, sculpture, 2D design, 3D design, photography, ceramics, graphic arts, interior design and glass. Students could submit up to five pieces in any of the categories. “I am happy and proud, because they were able to share their work to the greater Ohlone community,” Professor Gabriel Navar said when asked how he felt about his students’ work being displayed. “I think it is really advantageous in

their career development.” The show will run through May 13. At a reception on Tuesday, three pieces in each category will be hand picked for special recognition by the jurors. “Best in category” winners will receive $100. “It is inspirational, it is encouraging,” gallery Director Dina Rubiolo said. “You get good feedback from people. You see the other levels and skills that are in the gallery, and that helps you strive higher too.” For many students, this was their first time seeing their own work in a show. “I am just happy,” Angelica Rodriguez said. “It feels nice and happy to see my own work in a show, but I’m mostly happy for my fellow classmates that were entered in the show.” The exhibition is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and by appointment.

The Renegades, hoping to gain ground on the Colts, played two games against Cañada, splitting the series by winning the first game on Thursday and dropping the second in a comeback that fell short. The first game saw Ohlone tally eight total runs, with seven of them coming in the bottom of the seventh inning. Pablo Artero and Daniel Priwin led the offensive attack with three RBIs each.

Softball drops both games in doubleheader CRISTIAN MEDINA Sports editor The Ohlone softball team traveled to Monterey for a non-conference doubleheader on Saturday, but lost both games. Game One of the doubleheader was a tightly contested one, going into extra innings. After a back and forth offensive showcase, Monterey scored the single go-ahead run in the eighth inning and beating the Renegades 6-5. In Game Two, Ohlone looked to even things up after the tough one-run extra-inning loss. Monterey jumped out to an early five-run lead, forcing the Renegades to play comeback for the entire game. After cutting the lead to one in the fifth inning, Ohlone collapsed in the top of the seventh, allowing three runs and losing the second game of the doubleheader 9-5. Even though the games were tough losses, they were non-conference and did not affect Ohlone’s standings in the Coast-North Conference. The Renegades’ next conference game will be today against a struggling De Anza team that is last place in the conference.

The Lady Renegades batted in seven runs in their win over Chabot College in Hayward on March 31.

History has been made. The chase is over. The Golden State Warriors now stand alone. They have written their names in the history books, winning 73 games this season. The 19951996 Chicago Bulls regular-season win record has been broken. After high preseason expectations, the Warriors had the greatest NBA regular season of all time. Golden State never lost consecutive games, boasted the best shooting backcourt, and only lost one home game all season. They didn’t make it easy for themselves, however. After a few inexcusable losses, the Warriors needed to win the last four games of the season to break the record. Two of those were against Western Conference foe San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs were on their way to history as well, attempting to go the season without losing a single game at home. The Warriors spoiled those chances in the second to last game of the season, beating the Spurs 92-86. That game ended San Antonio’s home win streak and tied the Bulls 72-win record. For the last game of the season and the potential record-breaking game, Golden State faced a team that had given them trouble defensively in the past.

They’ll face James Harden and the Houston Rockets in the first WestTAMround DUONG of JR. the / MONITOR ern Conference Playoffs, and will try to get to the NBA Finals and repeat as Champions.
