SJSU celebrates Black History
By Nageena Shinwari STAFF WRITER
Amid President Donald Trump’s rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the federal government, San José State students celebrate Black History Month even if threatened to be taken away nationally.
Black History Month occurs every February, in honor of celebrating African Americans and their role in shaping the United States. Each year there is a theme for the month, determined by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, and this year
it is African Americans and Labor, according to an Feb. 1, CBS news article.
Before Black History Month had started, it was originally identified as “Negro History Week” in 1926 which was created by the historian Carter G. Woodson, who chose the second week of February to be “Negro History Week” because it was in between Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas’s birthdays according to a Jan. 30, History article.
The civil rights and Black Power movement started to advocate for the first shift from Black History Week to making it Black History Month.
On the 50th anniversary of “Negro History Week” the Association of African American History made the shift to Black History Month. In 1976 Ford issued the first Black History Month according to an Feb. 1 AP News article.
The recent rollbacks of DEI that President Trump has done, have left many questioning if Black History Month would be a part of this or any so-called identity month according to an Feb. 5, WCNC article.
Dominique Thomas, a second-year humanities and liberal arts student and internal vice president of SJSU Black Student Union, was not worried about
President Trump’s removal of DEI programs.
When asked about the thought of Black History Month being removed, Thomas said she did not care.
“He (President Trump) can take away my month, but I am still going to be Black, and I am still going to celebrate.”
Federal agencies tried their hardest to agree with President Trump’s executive orders that reduce DEI programs. Sending emails to staff members in federal agencies, in the military, and celebration of cultural awareness events, such as MLK day and Women’s History Month according
Spot News: Evacuation order in Boccardo Business Complex
Fire alarms on two floors of the Boccardo Business Complex went off on Wednesday evening, forcing students on all floors to evacuate.
Lieutenant Rafael Alvarez, the Operations Bureau commander for the University Police Department at San José State, said police officers received two alarm calls at 7:54 p.m.
Alvarez said the first alarm came from the men’s restroom on the third floor and the second alarm came from the second floor of the building.
“(Officers) did a full walk through,” Alvarez said. “(They) didn't find anybody, didn't see anything (burning). Once our (Facilities Development & Operations) tech arrived, (our) … who resets the alarms – once that was cleared – the building was cleared and everybody was able to go back inside.”
Three officers walked to the building after university police received the call. Andrew Peck, a third-year business administration student, said he didn’t see or smell any smoke when the alarm went off.
“It's pretty loud, but I'm just a little surprised, but nothing, nothing too crazy,” Peck said. “We walked out in the hallway, and everyone was pretty calm.”

At San José State, many celebrate by organizing events coordinated by clubs such as the SJSU Black Student Union and The B.L.O.C. at SJSU.
The B.L.O.C. at SJSU and SJSU Black Student Union coordinating a Black History Month kickoff with a Book Talk alongside it, on Feb. 3 on campus, according to the SJSU events calendar.
“Having the chance to be able to express the love and joy of being Black, as well as the accomplishments of being Black are important to me, and that is why I celebrate the month.”
Thomas said.
Craig John Alimo, director for Social Justice Education at SJSU’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, sees college campuses celebrating Black History Month as a way to honor others and reduce bias.
“Black History Month and celebrating at college campuses are related to our diversity, equity, and inclusion outcome. We learn to celebrate other diversities,” said Alimo.
“Diversity, equity, and inclusion work, which is really important for our education not just for students going to our school but our faculty as well.”
The theme of African Americans and Labor, determined by Association for the Study of African American Life and History, was to highlight the influential impact African Americans had in the U.S. according to an Feb. 4 Black Enterprise article.
“The theme means to
The theme means to me that work is not just something that could go towards governments or systems that don’t serve us.

me that work is not just something that could go towards governments or systems that don’t serve us,” Thompson said.
“To me it means that there is not only work outside of adding liberation means we can help our communities and it doesn’t have to be seen as a negative thing but instead light.”
Jahmal Williams, director of DEI partnerships and University-Community Liaison Office at SJSU, said that the history and culture that Africans brought with them helped shape America and what it is today.
“It is (impact of African Americans) engrained throughout everything that exists in this country,” Williams said. “It is a way to celebrate the lives and the journey of Africans and Black Americans.”

Impact of Moss Landing fire uncertain
By Alina Ta SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Researchers from San José State’s marine biology program are preparing to increase their efforts to research the effects of heavy metals in the local ecosystems after the Moss Landing fire.
On Jan. 16, a battery plant in Moss Landing, Calif. caught fire at around 3:00 p.m., according to a webpage from Monterey County. By 8:00 p.m., the county opened shelters and sent community members notices to inform them that schools in the area would be closed.
The fire continued to burn for multiple days, forcing local residents to evacuate, according to a press release from San José State.
There were also multiple road closures and air quality concerns during the first, according to the same press release. By Jan. 19, the road closures on U.S. Highway 1 were lifted.
Brad Watson, the director of Community Affairs for Vistra Energy, said company employees were on site at 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
“There are still some battery racks that are intact, and those have some state of charge in them,” Watson said. “Fortunately, there was no flare-ups, there was no reaction, no emissions and we took some drones up earlier today at daylight and we didn’t see any problems developing.”
Watson also said the temperature in the building and around the batteries continued to decrease.
Ric Encarnacion, the director of Environmental Health in Monterey County, said his department is partnering with staff from
multiple departments, including toxicologists to help the county do more research on the environmental impacts of the fire.
SJSU announced on Thursday that Ivano Aiello, a geological oceanographer and a department chair for the College of Science, measured an increase in heavy metals in marsh soil two miles away from the battery plant, according to the same press release.
The three heavy metals that were recorded were nickel,manganese and cobalt, according to the same press release from SJSU.
“Fires out (its) still being monitored for safety, and there's no continuous deposition that you would encounter like with factories
It’s

or other businesses that may have constant emissions,” Encarnacion said. “In the aftermath of the fire, (what) we're trying to do is (trying) to determine what we can’t visually see.”
Moss Landing Marine Laboratories holds SJSU’s marine science program and focuses on research to gain a better understanding of marine life and to help solve environmental issues caused by humans, according to its webpage.
Aiello said his particular focus is on doing research on the nearby marshlands in Elkhorn Slough as he’s been trying to restore the marshes for several years.
“It’s beautiful, so it’s one of the few wetlands that are still preserved in the area,” Aiello said. “There are very few locations that are left pristine; it's an invaluable resource.”
Elkhorn Slough is a wildlife sanctuary that provides a habitat for diverse populations of birds, plants, fish and marine animals, including sea otters and seals, according to its webpage.
Aiello said the ecosystems in the marshlands are very unique and delicate, have overlapping food chains between land and marine mammals and act as a buffer for urban areas when sea levels rise.
“If you have a marshland that borders an urban area (it) helps relatively to slow down sea level rise,” Aiello said.
He is analyzing marsh soil properties as part of a decadelong monitoring program at the sanctuary, according to the initial press release on the fire from SJSU.
Aiello said his main goal now is to track how the heavy metals will travel throughout the rest of the ecosystem.
“We want to see the effects of tides, whether when (there is a) very high tide (or) whether those tides are picking up those particles,” he said.
Samples from the lab show there is a heavy metal layer in the soil, according to SJSU’s press release. These metals are used to produce lithium batteries and are highly likely to be connected to the fire at Vistra’s battery plant.
Aiello said he also formed a team on Tuesday with four other faculty members at the laboratory to help him continue his research.
He said the other researchers will help do research into how the heavy metals in the soil could affect the rest of the ecosystem and the rest of the food chain.
A build-up of heavy metals in the ecosystem often results in soil or water degradation, resulting in an unbalanced ecosystem, according to a journal article from the Manipal Academy of Higher Education in Manipal, India.
These toxins can enter food chains through polluted soil, water and air leading to food contamination, according to the same source.
In response to President Donald J. Trump’s workforce executive orders, the National Science Foundation is planning to lay off around a quarter and a half of its staff in the next two months, according to a Tuesday article from Politico.
The National Science Foundation is the United States’ leading group for collecting funds for science and engineering research, according to the same source.
Aiello said the wetlands in the marshes are both important to the ecosystem in Elkhorn Slough sanctuary, but they are also tourist attractions for local community members and visitors.
“We use them because they are beautiful,” Aiello
said. “They are a valuable resource to California.”
Nicholas M. Pasculli, Monterey County’s communications director and chief public information officer, said tourism is the county’s second-largest industry.
Around 4.6 million tourists visit Monterey County every year, while 435,232 residents live in the area year-rowund, according to a fact sheet from See Monterey.
“Anytime there’s a disaster – regardless of if it's a flood or a fire, wildfire, any type of natural or man-made disaster – there’s always economic impacts, and we're conscious of that,” Pasculli said. Encarnacion said Monterey County’s Environmental Health Bureau will continue to play a large part in ensuring emergencies do not affect tourism or the economic viability of the community.
Tourism in Monterey County raises money for taxes and revenue from local attractions, including hotels and restaurants, according to another webpage from See Monterey. This money helps fund the county’s schools, roadways, police force and other infrastructure improvements.
“I want the public to be rest assured, we’re not going away,” Encarnacion said. “We are a standard service for the county. You may not hear about us every day, (but) when the time comes for us to respond, we're always there.”
Watson, the director of Community Affairs for Vistra Energy, said Vistra has two programs to help the local community recover from the impacts of the fire, the Business Claims Process
and the Moss Landing Fire Relief Fund.
The Business Claims Process is a program run by a third-party claims administrator that will help businesses that were located in the evacuation zone or located at the Moss Landing Harbor, according to a webpage from Vistra.
Some of the costs that will be covered by the company include lost revenue and wages between Jan. 17 and Jan. 22, clean-up costs that were recorded after Jan. 16 and costs to make up for food spoilage for local restaurants, according to Vistra.
The Moss Landing Fire Relief Fund is a partnership between Vistra and the Community Foundation for Monterey County, according to a webpage from the foundation.
The fund will support households impacted by the fire, according to the same source.
Vistra has contributed more than $450,000 to establish a relief fund to offset expenses residents had to pay as a result of the 24-hour evacuation on Jan. 16, according to the foundation’s webpage.
Pasculli said the investigation into what caused the fire is still ongoing, but Monterey County is currently collecting and trying to preserve evidence from the site that could provide clues to what happened on Jan. 16.
“Everything will be looked at from top to bottom,” Pasculli said.

‘Nosferatu’ is a sexy gothic revamp
By Anahi Herrera Villanueva CONTRIBUTOR
Move over “Twilight,” Team Edward is dead; it’s Team Nosferatu’s time to shine.
Robert Eggers, the director of “Nosferatu” has revived the interest into vampiric horror films with this remake of the 1922 film “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horrors.”
“Nosferatu” is a gothic movie that surrounds the life of a young woman who is progressively possessed by a vampire who is obsessed with her, according to the film’s IMDb page.
Personally, my interest in this film would not have been piqued if not for the cast that truly embodied their individual characters.
Famous for playing characters in horror films, Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal of Count Orlok in “Nosferatu” really
delivered in embodying an ancient vampire that would bring chills to whoever would encounter him.
An essence of intense intimacy was felt during the scenes between Orlok and Ellen Hutter to a point where it felt like I, as an audience member was intruding when watching Hutter in scenes of sensual pleasure.
Lily-Rose Depp, who played Ellen Hutter, truly went above and beyond in her performance of this character.
Depp was truly unrecognizable in “Nosferatu.” Prior to the film, she had not stood out to me as an artist to
follow and had rather known her through her previous relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet and being the daughter of Johnny Depp.
Although LilyRose Depp's specific participation in the show
“The Idol” starring The Weeknd was praised for her portrayal of an emotionally devastated pop star, the show as a whole, was not the biggest hit, with critics delivering a 19% satisfaction score and general audiences giving it 41%, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
However, Depp delivers a nuanced performance as Hutter, capturing the character's vulnerability
and strength.
The movie follows her fear of Orlok actively seeking her out while simultaneously remaining strong to protect her loved ones. However, the one she fears the most is her husband, Thomas Hutter. Thomas Hutter, played by Nicholas Hoult, is put in a predicament where he is sent off by a real estate agency to do business with Orlok.
The count is interested in purchasing property where Ellen and Thomas Hutter reside to get closer to Ellen Hutter and fulfill a promise she had made to Orlok when she was younger and had possessed her.
The interactions between Thomas Hutter and Orlok continued the trend of eeriness. A feeling of hollowness and dread followed me when I would see the man’s desperation to escape Orlok’s castle while enduring the pain that the count would inflict.
While those three were the main characters that the movie follows, the beautiful performances from Aaron TaylorJohnson and Willem Dafoe. cannot go unmentioned.
It was my first time seeing Johnson in a gothic period piece and was a nice change as I mostly see him in action movies.
The second part of the movie follows Hoult, Johnson, and Dafoe’s characters in figuring out a strategy to stop the Orlok from getting to Ellen Hutter and bringing a plague to the village. Without spoiling the movie, the ending was one that I did not expect. Nevertheless, I was happy with the ending and wouldn't want it any other way.
“Nosferatu” was not only successful in my eyes, but fellow audience members seem to agree. Earning 85% out of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is safe to say that many may return to rewatch this film.
Not only did it score well in reviews, but it turned out to be a success financially, with the film earning $40.8 million since its debut, according to a Variety article.
Maybe this movie hasn’t made a large enough impact as the “Twilight” saga yet, but it has definitely made me more interested in watching other films of this genre.
Grammys make a new tune for awards
Nicole DeVries STAFF WRITER
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards brought the drama but with it a sign of a new future for award shows.
The Grammys, hosted this year by Trevor Noah, demonstrated a new direction for the Recording Academy toward more artist transparency through their selection processes.
From The Weeknd’s sudden return to the Grammy stage and many artist speeches commenting on our country’s current affairs, this Grammy Awards introduced an open conversation on the treatment, politics, and recognition of today’s artists.
This year’s Grammys was special. Even without mentioning surprises like Kanye West’s unexpected entrance and exit, this year symbolized a change in how we consume and understand the Grammys.
These changes will continue to impact how we consume and evaluate the Grammys in the future as they make an effort to respond to criticisms.
The current president and CEO of the Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr., spoke out on complaints from artists including The Weeknd since his start as President in 2020 while displaying the comments from past articles on the Grammy screen for the audience.
The CEO introduced The Weeknd after discussing the academy’s plan for a more diverse and younger voting panel that represents the values of present musicians.
I believe these changes have been long overdue and a necessary shift for the Grammys to make to truly represent an artist’s creative expression.
When award shows uplift music that focuses on a certain performer’s commercial success, it undercuts the achievements of artists and punishes their fans. Audiences watching these award shows feel the absence of musicians who have chosen to not attend or perform at these events.
Other artists including Frank Ocean, Drake, and The Weeknd have boycotted the Grammys in previous years for the Academy’s lack of transparency towards artists and their viewers, according to The New York Times.
The Weeknd’s return to the Grammys on Sunday showcased a medley performance of songs including “Cry for Me” and “Timeless” from his
newest album “Hurry Up Tomorrow.”
I believe that the Recording Academy’s actions to rekindle its relationship with The Weeknd will improve its public image and credibility. It feels nice to witness a change in these awards and we can only hope that this sentiment will demonstrate a difference in future award shows
The Academy’s plan included initiatives like the Black Music Collective, Academy Proud, and Women in The Mix, all dedicated to focusing on and implementing minority perspectives and communities into the Recording Academy decision panels, according to Harvey Mason Jr. during his speech
Although the academy is taking endeavors in the right direction for further representation in music awards, the road to complete change is yet to come.
If there was one aspect of the Grammys this year that created many defining moments, it was artist acceptance speeches.
The results of the awards have been widely debated. However, many notable wins represented the Recording Academy’s commitment to celebrating artists that both reached commercial success but also demonstrated great musicality.
Speeches usually are made with gratitude and appreciation for an artist's family or production team, but this year's speeches focused on being outspoken on issues that resonated with developing artists.
Of course, family members and collaborators received
their thanks but when artists took the stage, many of them found the greater issues of the world were important to discuss.
Artists such as Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan spoke out against recent actions against the transgender community during their time at the Grammys. This was in response to several of President Donald Trump’s executive orders signed this last month barring the transgender community from enlisting or serving in the military and participating in high school or collegiate sports among other things.
Gaga made her statement while winning the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her song “Die With a Smile” with Bruno Mars.
Gaga spoke out on the visibility of trans people
Roan’s music has inspired me and many other girls since its release and has opened a new perspective to queer music that I wasn’t exposed to.
This year, the event was overshadowed by the devastating wildfires spreading across Los Angeles and many of those who attended this have been affected just like thousands of others by the destruction this tragedy has caused.
Despite this, Hollywood decided to use their influence to advocate for donations in the Recording Academy’s partnership with MusiCares to go towards victims of this fire.
This underscores the reality of many of the individuals impacted in need of long-term support, as the aftermath of such a devastating
being the last woman to win as she presented the award to her for her album “Alligator Bites Never Heal.”
In Doechii’s acceptance speech, she spoke about her experience as a Black woman in the music industry and about how she wanted this to be a way for her to inspire other Black women out in the world to shoot for the moon because “anything is possible”.
Doechii’s win was not only a reflection of her talent as a lyricist and rapper but also a reminder of the achievements of Black women in art and their impact on music culture.
This victory is a stark contrast to the past underrepresentation and disregard of Black women in spaces like the Grammys when artists

in music honoring their right of deserving love and optimism in a space of artists from all cultures.
I feel that Lady Gaga’s statement served as a reminder that many in the transgender community are currently dealing with fears of cultural erasure and systemic discrimination. Chappell Roan continued to highlight the impact that transgender women have had on her career in a comment she provided to GLAAD, “I would not be here without trans girls.”
event requires sustaining resources over temporary aid.
This Grammys also featured phenomenal success for first-time nominations and Grammy winners including artists like Doechii, Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Doechii made history by being the third woman ever to win Best Rap Album since the awards installation in 1989, according to The Recording Academy. In Doechii’s speech, she acknowledged Cardi B
like Beyoncé received their first win for Album of the Year after 99 total nominations.
The Recording Academy’s failures to properly recognize Black women and the media highlight a consistent cultural bias that has resulted in the deprivation of their massive talent and influence.
Doechii followed her historical win with a stellar performance of her songs, “CATFISH” and “DENIAL IS A RIVER,” demonstrating her talent
in this category and her future in rap to come.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards was not only a win for top celebrities like Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Charli xcx to name a few, but a new tribute to rising genres and voices.
New category introductions including Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album, and Best Pop Dance Recording were established in 2024 to represent diverse tastes beyond mainstream Pop music, according to the Recording Academy website.
The Recording Academy has been focusing on addressing and appreciating all forms of music and artists through embracing smaller genres. There is now more visibility for categories like Latin, Indie, and Hip-Hop music that have defined cultures despite not receiving the same commercial success as Pop music.
This Grammy Awards was about recognizing past mistakes and taking action towards rectifying them through their influence. Part of this was shown in how artists took responsibility to address social injustices not only in the music industry but throughout their communities.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards are an example of the continuously changing music industry through the artist's impact on creating and defining culture.
Though the Recording Academy has made efforts towards accountability to focus on inclusivity and transparency in their decision process, it is still too early to tell if this change will impact the awards long term.

LIX might out party Mardi Gras
By Blaze Dayton STAFF WRITER
The Caesars Superdome of New Orleans is hosting Super Bowl LIX this Sunday, an anticipated rematch of Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Kansas City is no stranger to the big game, as it’s the team’s fifth Super Bowl appearance in the last six years; according to a Tuesday CBS Sports article.
The Chiefs advanced to seven straight American Football Conference championships, coming within one game of matching the all-time record set by the New England Patriots from 2011 to 2018, according to the same CBS Sports article.
The team defeated the Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII after a controversial defensive holding call against the Eagles’ cornerback, James Bradberry IV, to set up a game-winning field goal by Harrison Butker.
The loss has fueled the Eagles’ desire for revenge, even for a particular member of the team who wasn’t a part of the Super Bowl LVII loss, superstar running back Saquon Barkley, playing in his first Super Bowl of his career this Sunday.
Now that he’s in the Super Bowl with his new teammates, Barkley says he wants nothing more than to help them earn revenge, according to a Jan. 31 article on NFL.com.
This year, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the
must protect Jalen Hurts from Kansas City’s aggressive pass rush, which includes all-pro defensive tackle Chris Jones. The game is not the only form of entertainment the Super Bowl offers, as the presence of well-known celebrities attracts viewers from all demographics.
Celebrities such as worldfamous artist Taylor Swift are expected to attend. Swift, who is in a relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has added another layer of excitement and entertainment for fans who may be new to the sport.
Chiefs have the chance to make history and do something unprecedented in the Super Bowl era of the NFL.
Coming off back-to-back Super Bowl victories, Kansas City has the opportunity to win a third straight Super Bowl, also known as a threepeat, according to a Jan. 27, FOX Sports.
No NFL team has threepeated in the Super Bowl era (1966-present). Even though the Chiefs have the opportunity to accomplish a milestone never seen before, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the chance for a threepeat is not at the forefront of their minds.
Reid said that, though he’d been asked about it in the lead-up to the Super Bowl, he hasn't heard anyone on the Chiefs talking about the potential milestone, according
to a Jan. 31 article on Yahoo Sports,
To accomplish this historic feat, the Chiefs must stop the Eagles’ run-heavy offense. Philly’s offense is led by starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and star Barkley.
With only needing 29 more yards, Barkley could become the single-season rushing leader between the regular season and playoffs, according to a Jan. 31, Sporting News article.
After his 118-yard, threetouchdown game against the Washington Commanders in the National Football Conference championship, Barkley sits second-place alltime behind Denver Broncos Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis, according to the same article.
Barkley has a chance to break Davis' record this Sunday. After signing with the
Eagles, he envisioned making the Super Bowl with them.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is coming off a 14-3 regular season record and is also looking for revenge after the heartbreaking ending of the last Super Bowl matchup, according to a Jan. 27 ESPN article.
The team has the best defense and running game in the NFL, along with a potent offense.
Running behind a strong offensive line, Barkley has completely revamped this offense under Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
Barkley’s versatile play style has paid off as he led the league in rushing with 2,005 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, according to NFL.com stats page.
Philadelphia’s defensive game plan will be crucial in limiting the offense of Reid,
Mahomes, and tight end Travis Kelce.
The Chiefs entered the playoffs as the number one seed in the American Football Conference, finishing with an NFL best 15-2 record and enjoying a first-round bye.
Although he didn’t put up MVP numbers this season, Mahomes still passed for 26 touchdowns, which ranked him ninth in the league, according to Pro Football Focus.
If this past year indicates what the Chiefs can do, they tend to find ways to win close games. The Chiefs have won an NFL record with 17 consecutive games decided by one score, according to a Saturday ESPN article.
In close games, it usually comes down to the big men in the trenches with the offensive and defensive linemen.
The Eagles offensive line
This year’s 2025 Apple Music Halftime Show will feature Grammy-awardwinning artist Kendrick Lamar, with a guest appearance by SZA, according to an article on Fox Sports. Fans can expect an eventful week, with multiple events leading up to the big game and star-studded performances such as The One Party by Uber, led by Travis Scott on Feb. 7, according to a Billboard article.
Mahomes and the Chiefs want to prove that the impossible can be achieved by winning three straight Super Bowls, while Hurts and the Eagles want to prove they can take out the Chiefs dynasty. The stage in New Orleans is set, and the world is ready for an all-time clash between two heavyweight football teams.
