Cal States becoming out of reach?
VALEEN GONZALES
Students may find it more difficult to afford a California State University education in 2013. Proposition 30, an initiative on the Nov. 6 ballot, would fund public K-12 schools and higher education by raising sales tax by .25 percent and increasing taxes on income over $250,00 per year. Proponents say it will have a severe impact on budgets state-wide if it fails to pass. For CSU students and prospective students, this would translate to a tuition increase and fewer admissions. “It sucks for people who are trying to transfer,” English major Tesia Foster said. “If they were to raise the prices it would affect a lot of people that are hurting right now.” The CSU Board of Trustees met Sept.19 to vote on a contingency plan that the CSU press release stated would trigger a $250 million budget cut if Prop. 30 fails. The boards’ final vote was 11 to 3 on Prop. 30. The contingency plan would raise tuition five percent, $125 per semester, effective January 2013 to $2,135 per semester for a full-time student. “Sure, it’s cheaper than a lot of places,” Faculty Senate President Ardon Alger said. “But it’s still expensive.”

Students and faculty echoed the concern over the rising cost to attend a CSU. “If I was to transfer right now, it would be hard for me because it’s expensive,” nursing major Jessica Gutierrez said. “Nothing is cheaper than a Cal State,” English professor Sean Stratton said. “If students are priced out of attending, there is really no other option.” Another factor contingent on the result of the Proposition 30 vote, according to the press release, is whether or not there will be resources to admit another 20,000 new students to CSU campuses next fall. “It crimps your chances of getting into a Cal Sate,” Alger said. If proposition 30 passes, not only will 20,000 more students have the opportunity to attend a CSU, all CSU students can look forward to avoiding the proposed five percent tuition hike and seeing the reversal of the nine percent tuition increase that was implemented this fall. This would bring tuition down to $2,736 per semester for a full-time student retroactively in effect for the current fall semester. “It’s an incentive for students to vote,” political science major Jorge Garavito said. The CSU Board of Trustees has left it up to the voters, many of whom are also students, to decide what a CSU education is worth.

The proposed tuition increase that would take effect if Proposition 30 fails could put the cost of a CSU education just out of reach for many students.

Students show outpour of support for fellow Panther JANET TRENIER
The Paws for a Cause fundraising campaign is in full swing as cascading donation Paws line the archways of the Panther Express and bookstore. The story of student Gustavo Galicia, who was diagnosed with renal failure five years ago, has been inspiring. On the second day of the crusade, Jared Ceja, director of auxiliary services, saw promise for Galicia. “We had a great response so far,” Ceja said. “It’s going really well. We have another stack of Paws to put up already.” Upon seeing the fundraising flier created by ASCC, Galicia posted his gratitude on Facebook. “I am amazed. Thank you, Chaffey College, for the help,” Galicia said. “It really means a lot to me from the bottom of my heart.” According to the California Transplant Donor Network, more than 110,000 individuals are on the (UNOS) United Network for Organ sharing.
Nationwide, minorities represent 54 percent of organ transplant candidates and more than 60 percent of those awaiting kidney transplants. The support of students shows the philanthropic thread that runs through all of the campuses. “People just came in and said, ‘I just want to donate.’ I didn’t even have to ask,” bookstore employee and nursing major Ashlee Boldon said. Students, staff and faculty have all reached out to Galicia. Many wrote encouraging words to him on their donation paws. “Take care, be well and keep smiling,” “Praying for you,” “One dollar is not much but it’s sincere.” All of the one dollar donations will add up to a great help for Galicia’s cause. ASCC has also been collecting money for his cause at its campus coffee nights, and will continue to do so until November. The final tally of the Paws for Cause drive will be calculated after Oct. 12.

Interim Counseling & Matriculation Dean is here to help the students
LORRAINE CABRERA
KIMBERLY JOHNSON
New Dean of Counseling and Matriculation, Amy Nevarez, is happy to help students.
Hit and run driver arrested:
One thing undeniable about Amy Nevarez, Chaffey’s new interim dean of Counseling and Matriculation, is her willingness to help. “My goal is to help students on their pathway to completion,” Nevarez said. “I never miss an opportunity to help someone.” After attending Mt. San Jacinto Community College and CSU Long Beach, Nevarez has a B.A. in sociology and a Master of Science in Counseling and Guidance/ Pupil Personnel Services Credential from CSU San Bernardino. Nevarez has 10 years experience in Student Services and has worked in counseling, assessment, career, transfer, outreach, athletic counseling, ESL counseling and taught guidance classes. Her tenure at Chaffey began in the summer of 2005 when she was hired as an EOPS counseling faculty member. Last summer, Nevarez was afforded the opportunity to apply for the Interim Dean of Counseling and Matriculation. Her term as interim dean is for the fall and spring semesters where she hopes to have the opportunity to apply for the position permanently. She plans to make an impact by implementing new programs that will greatly benefit both incoming and continuing students.
One new change is group education plans, which encourage students to participate in the college’s new student educational planning workshops. The workshops are geared to help those students who are undecided, interested in transferring, and/ or students who are interested in completing an Associate’s Degree or certificate. During these workshops, students will begin to work on a minimum 4 semester educational plan. “This is to have students have an education plan completed much sooner in hopes to get new students to see a counselor much sooner with continuing follow up,” she said. “We would like students to come in and use resources more. If I can stress anything to all students, it is to plan your educational experience here at Chaffey College early and to use all the resources that are available to you.” One thing made very clear about Nevarez is her dedication to helping all of those around her. She takes a piece of life from everyone she comes into contact with and uses this as inspiration to work hard, not only for herself, but for everyone else around her. “I am inspired daily by my husband, children, parents, brothers, colleagues, friends, strangers, everyone,” she said. “Each person that I have been blessed to know and learn from has inspired me. “
Police arrest man in connection with death of local bicyclist CHARLES LEIGHTON A two-week search for the hit-andrun suspect wanted in connection with the death of Michael Vega has resulted in an arrest. Police were able to put the case to rest on Sept. 13 when 30-year old Jason Cox was arrested. Vega was killed Aug. 28 while riding a bicycle on Foothill Boulevard near Ramona Avenue. (See Breeze Sept. 17 edition, page 3) The Press Enterprise reports that Cox was charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, as well as hit and run resulting in death or injury.
Cox is being held on $250,000 bond after police found front end damage to his work vehicle. Further investigation revealed that paint matching Vega’s bicycle was found on the truck. On Sept. 11 the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department released a video online pleading for the community’s help in locating the driver of the work truck that struck Vega. On Sept. 12 an anonymous tip led them to Cox. The Sheriff’s Department acknowledged that strong community and media support surrounding the incident led to the We-Tip evidence that helped them locate Cox.

ASCC President Carlos Huizar opens the Constitution Day event on Sept. 17 in Student Activities with a welcome and a reminder to students about the importance of voting.
We the people of Constitution Day
VALEEN GONZALES
Students gathered on Constitution Day to hear ASCC President Carlos Huizar, Associate Professor Kevin Cameron and ICC Commissioner Jen Nieves, discuss the history of voting in the U.S. and some of the current issues affecting students. Huizar opened the Constitution Day celebration with a discussion of Proposition 30 and its direct effects on the budget and students on campus. “We have a vote and we have a voice,” Huizar said. Cameron followed Huizar with an informative overview of the constitutional foundations of voting and how the Constitution has evolved over the years to expand and protect citizens’ voting rights. Cameron provided an explanation of the grounds on which the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act as constitutional. Cameron also explained the Electoral
College system of electing the president and how it came about. “The writers of the Constitution didn’t have a whole lot of faith in the common people,” Cameron said. “They wanted the states to have greater power over who was president than the people.” Austin Turner, environmental engineering major, was one of the students in attendance who disagrees with the continued use of the Electoral College. “We should change the Constitution,” Turner said, “and get us closer to a true democracy.” Nieves and Huizar closed the Constitution Day discussion with a plea for students to inform themselves of the repercussions of Proposition 30. They detailed the cuts that would happen on campus if Proposition 30 fails and asked students to vote to protect their higher education opportunities. “If community colleges fail,” Nieves said, “they fail our communities.”

No way, Jose: Sexual assault suspect identified SEVANNY CAMPOS
Campus police are gathering evidence about a man who has allegedly sexually harassed women on campus. Since the beginning of the semester, many female students and at least two faculty instructors have come forward exclaiming that they have been harassed by a man on campus. Only known by his first name, Jose, he is described as a tall, stocky, Hispanic man who has been approaching women on campus and introducing himself by a shake of hand. The innocent gesture would normally be seen as a way of introducing oneself, but in this case has been a way of inappropriately grabbing victims and pulling them in. An investigation is being conducted on every incident that has occurred on campus over the span of five weeks. A civil suit is expected to be filed in the coming weeks. “He was in my music class, and it was the last day to add. The girl sitting next to me became very uncomfortable, like she knew him,” kinesiology major Brittany Bootman said. “He was trying to talk to a girl in class and then the teacher kicked him out. It wasn’t until after class that we
found out who he was,” she said. Jose had been avoiding police for more than a week before he was detained. He had been seen on campus since the beginning of the fall semester but was not enrolled in any classes. He was in possession of an old and faded Chaffey student I.D. when he was detained on Aug. 22. According to Campus Police officer Lamar Bell, the man in question had a good idea of what he was doing. He figured out the times classes started and ended. He had also been hiding in empty classrooms and near the Center for the Arts building. His actions might have gone unnoticed, but an accident involving theatre instructor Kelly Ford brought Jose’s activity to light. Ford was in the dance room between classes. The room is normally left open for students to use and rehearse. Jose stumbled into the dance room where he then found Ford. “He seemed startled to find me in the classroom, like he didn’t expect me to be there,” Ford said. “He introduced himself and held out his hand. I shook his hand and when he didn’t let go, he pulled me in and touched me.” Ford reported the incident to Campus Police on Aug. 20. There had been previ-
ous complaints prior to Ford’s earlier in the semester. Once the instructor was harassed, police got involved and made taking down Jose a top priority. On the morning of Aug. 22, Ivanne Recio, psychology major and student in Ford’s class, saw Jose sitting on the stairs of the CAA building. Recio called the campus police who arrived at the north part of campus minutes later. “My friends and I were walking to the Center for the Arts building when we saw him by the stairs. He kept looking at us, and I felt really scared, so I called the Campus Police,” she said. Jose was taken into custody and was given a 14-day suspension from campus. He had a hearing on Aug. 29 with the Dean on Discipline, Leonard Crow. He was told to leave campus immediately after his hearing. However, he has reportedly been seen walking around the campus wearing sunglasses and a hat to disguise himself. Campus Police say an investigation is underway but charges have yet to be made. Following Campus Police guidelines (see bottom right), female students are encouraged to walk in groups of two or more to prevent being victimized.

Campus Police offer safety tips for students
Students with concerns for their safety or security while on campus are encouraged to contact the Campus Police in person, or call 909-941-2626, for assistance. The Department of Public Safety offers an escort service for students and staff from classrooms to vehicles. On campus, be especially aware of your surroundings at times when you may be less alert and more vulnerable. • Use discretion and caution when taking shortcuts through isolated parts of campus. • Know the location of emergency phones on routes to and from class. • Keep personal belongings in view while in class, the library or lab. • If you see or hear someone who might be in trouble, your options include running, yelling, confronting, and calling the police. • Learn self-defense techniques by enrolling in a self-defense class. • Use the escort service provided by Campus Police.

A fair deal for Chaffey students
ALEX MARTINEZ
KELLY BOWEN KELLY BOWEN Corn dogs and other fried foods are fair favorites. Chaffey Day ad the Fair is best seen from the height of zip line.
“If it wasn’t for the fact I’m a Chaffey student, I wouldn’t have gone to the fair this year,” psychology major, Dominic Martinez said. On Sept. 15 the L.A. County Fair hosted Chaffey College Day, granting free admission to all students and staff. Discounted tickets were also available for alumni, family and friends. There was a plethora of deep fried food, copious amounts of barbecue and carnival rides for students and staff to enjoy. “Not that it was cheap, I still spent 80 bucks,” Martinez said. “It’s worth it. You can’t get most of this food just anywhere.” Students were also encouraged to wear Chaffey apparel to show their panther pride. The Foundation, Alumni Association and Chaffey bookstore had a tent with raffles and giveaways, including Chaffey T-shirts, tote bags and concert tickets for students. College staff took part in the parade celebrating diversity that went through the fair at 1 p.m. There we many popular attractions people look forward to each year, like bungee jumping, a petting zoo, many different exhibit halls, and lots of shopping attractions. “I love fried food, so the fair is the place for me,” Ivanne Recio, dance major, said. “My next goal is to bungee jump next year.” Students from Chaffey’s photo department and fashion design program also had work on display in the air-conditioned exhibition halls, — a great way to beat the 90-degree heat that day. “It’s nine at night and I’m still sweating” undecided major, Nathan Goltz said. “The heat didn’t stop me from enjoying myself though.”

Hispanic heritage month celebrated SARAH SANDOVAL
Hispanic Heritage month was celebrated in the Student Activities lounge Sept. 26 with a lecture that gave students the opportunity to learn more about what being Latino really means. Instructor Luis Bohon gave a compelling presentation about Hispanic heritage and culture. “I thought it was really interesting and the things he decided to speak on were informative,” Allison Tapaya, environmental resource major, said. “His lecture had every students’ attention.” According to Bohon, the most common definition of “Hispanic” is a person that is from or identifies with a Spanish-speaking country. Bohon said that ethnicities such as Brazilians, who speak Portuguese, are often labeled as Hispanic or Latino, regardless of the language difference. Bohon informed students about the state demographics, using dynamic maps through his Power Point presentation that showed the movement of the Latino population. He also gave the percentage of Latino population at Chaffey, which makes up 50 percent of the student body. “It gave me shivers to know that there is such a high percentage of Latinos that are attending Chaffey,” Evelyn Garcia, business marketing major, said. Bohon also discussed “American” and “Latino” foods and consumer products. For example, the term “burrito” originated in the United States, but is now commonly used elsewhere. America has become the country that absorbs other cultures and creates a fusion
between here and other countries such as Mexico, Bohon said. Here, salsa outsells ketchup and the poinsettia — which is only sold for six weeks out of the year — outsells the rose. These foods and objects that belong to other cultures have been Americanized and sold more frequently in the U.S. than traditional American products. “I thought his lecture was spot on about how America absorbs other cultures,” Garcia said. “His lecture was really informative and even encouraging.” Bohon also corrected misconception about Cinco de Mayo, which is in fact an American civil war holiday. The actual Mexican Independence Day is Sept.16. Bohon also provided a bar graph featuring high school and college graduation statistics for white, Latino and African American men and women. Just 50 percent of Latino men and women graduate high school. The graph also showed ratios of men and women by ethnicity that graduate with a bachelor’s degree. Latino and African Americans graduate at a rate of about half or less than their white counterparts. Lastly, Bohon explained that Latinos are not taught at an early age that getting an education can drastically increase their chances of financial success. Bohon informed students about the array of resources available to help them succeed, transfer and receive the best education possible. “I agreed with instructor Bohon 100 percent when he mentioned how we’re not educated about education,” Garcia said. “Most (of us) growing up are just told to go school and learn something, but that is the extent of most Latino parents’ knowledge.”

Students explore options at college Transfer Fair JOCABETH SALVADOR Plenty of students and college representatives filled a usually empty quad at the Transfer Fair on Thursday Aug. 27. A combination and variety of both private and public colleges showed up, ranging from online schools to small liberal art private colleges to large public universities. Students interested in transferring to “a small liberal arts, Christian school in Irvine California” could seek out Concordia University. Representative Jose Hernandez said that Concordia is a great school for students who are interested in “small student to teacher ratio and a great education.” The Concordia brochure mentions that while annual student costs add up to a total of $37,000, 98 percent of all students receive some type of financial aid. The deadline for spring applicants is Nov. 1, and the deadline for fall applicants is Feb 1. For more information make sure to check out their website at www.cui.edu. The National Hispanic University was another private university in attendance. Brenda Marquez, field representative for NHU, said that the school offers rolling admission, which continues every eight week. “Transfer students will need a 2.5 GPA to apply, and the application deadline in Oct. 22,” Marquez said. The main campus is in San Jose, but the campus may be the answer for students interested in education, business or technology degrees. For more information, visit the website at www.NHU.edu.
La Sierra University also made an appearance. La Sierra’s main campus is in Corona, and although it offers different majors, representatives were promoting the criminal justice program at the fair. La Sierra representative Matthew Williams said that “La Sierra offers a four year lock program in which students take 12-16 units a quarter.” A “lock program” guarantees students 12-16 units, but classes are chosen for students based on their major. Free online applications are available. For more information visit www.lasierra.edu. Students planning to go in to health care may look to Pacific College in Costa Mesa. Representative Angelo Lioudakis said that while the college is in Costa Mesa the school also offers satellite campuses and online programs. Lioudaski also said that Pacific accepts transfer units, and they also have a fast-track program. Students have access to 12 hospitals for internships, and they can earn certificates for Nurses in Oncology as well as take classes to renew licenses. For more information visit pacific-college.edu. Another small private college that specializes in nursing is West Coast University in Ontario. Irene Haislip, admission adviser, said, “[West Coast] offers an accelerated program that allows students to finish in 3 years and 3 months with a B.S. in Nursing.” She said that the campus recently finished completion of a simulation center, which allows students to observe human like “patients.” They have an observation deck and a control room, in which the professor administers symptoms to a simulator
and students can go through a simulation process. West Coast offers rolling admission. For more information visit westcoastunivesity. edu or explorewcu.com. For students interested in psychology, Argosy University in Ontario may be a good chose. Frank Navarette, admissions representative, says the university specializes in psychology also offers other majors in business, criminal justice, liberal arts, and education.

Poets... and they know it KIMBERLY JOHNSON
Poetry enthusiasts made their way to the Center for the arts on Sept. 20 in honor of Poetry in Motion. Students and faculty found seats where the opportunity arose while some simply stood outlining the CAA 218 classroom, all awaiting their poetic fix. The event, made possible by The Chaffey Review and Poets and Writers, was a platform for some of the campus’ brave new voices to exhibit their work uncensored and unashamed. “College students are just beginning to find and explore their authentic voices, differentiated from their families of origin,” English professor, event coordinator, and faculty adviser of The Chaffey Review, Michelle Dowd, said. “Very few have ever published or had the opportunity to read their work in a
public setting,” she said. “I am thrilled and honored to facilitate ways for these new voices to be heard.” Chaffey alumna and respected author, Beverly Clearly, was once quoted as saying, “Writers are good at plucking out what is needed here and there.” The nonrestrictive, better yet nonexistent cap on poem topics for the event helps make this quote even more self evident. Themes from all spectrums of the writing world were exhibited. These included “Learning to Lie” to Patrick Jimenez’ testimony to sexual orientation. Ronald Koertge, author of poetic novels including “Indigo,” “Fever,” and “Making Love to Roget’s Wife,” got in on the festivities as well. In what can be connoted as the solemn world of poetry, achieving a smirk on the face of one person out of a room of 100 can be quite difficult.

Passion for printmaking JESSICA RUBIO Hustle and Roll are not usually the first words that come to mind when you think of art. From Aug. 27 through Sept. 21, Chaffey College and the (U)ntitled Club had a collection of student pieces up in the CAA building for all to see. “Hustle + Roll aims to highlight contemporary printmaking in all its various formats,” Megan Flanders, Chaffey Alumni and curator of Hustle + Roll said. Students had a chance to meet three of the artists displayed at the panel discussion to talk about the idea of print in the digital age. Artists Megan Flanders, Cynthia Garcia and Riane Redmond were all there to discuss their process of printmaking and the inspiration behind their work. “You have to try and get as much as you can out of a piece of paper,” artist Riane Redmond, said. Hustle and Roll involves a variety of contemporary printmaking pieces. Each piece involves a rigorous process and much time to create. For these artists the materials, cost of
equipment and resources to make their artwork has become scarce. Megan described how printmaking is now often considered a “dead art form.” “Printmakers really have to be paper sluts,” Flander said. “We can’t just go to staples and grab paper.” All three artists went on to talk about how difficult it is to find equipment in this day and age where people are now going green. “You beg, bargain and steal,” Flander said. When looking at the art one can see that time and preciseness are seen throughout every one of the artists works. Each artist has their own way of creating their work, and each artist dabbles in different areas of art. “I’ve always been a fan of lines,” artist Cynthia Garcia said. “I started pushing myself to add more detail and be precise.” Regardless of what the art world and others are saying about print “being dead,” these artists will continue to make masterpieces for all to enjoy. “By all mean means, make art that makes you happy,” Megan Flander said.
KIMBERLY JOHNSON Josh Austin, education major, presents his poem to the audience of over 100. Somehow, Koertge easily managed to presenting their works. Additionally, Poetry in Motion will stir more than a bit of laughter from the crowd at the same time, sharing some of soon be extending the torch into the art his life excerpts for the audience’s listening of filmmaking.

Sometimes when I’m writing I’ll make myself laugh out loud and wake up the cat.” But whether you have a cat to help lose sleep, or just a literary itch you’ve been dying to scratch, writing is encouraged as an important means of mental exploration and a sense of documentation. “I think that most folks think poetry is only this dry, dusty thing that is better left to dead men,” Josh Austin, education major and participant said, “when in reality it is more than just words on paper or things found in books. “Poetry can be found in all aspects of our life, we just need to take the time to notice it. When we do, we’ll see ourselves come alive.” The next Poetry in Motion event will KIMBERLY JOHNSON be Oct. 26, with published poet Genevieve Patrick Jimenez presents a poem about Kaplan and a whole new batch of students unashamed sexuality.

Rehearsals for this semester’s production of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” are underway. Cast and crew are working on perfecting accents, make up, costumes, blocking, lighting and characters lines. Playgoers are in for a fully immersed experience. The play is set in the south, so expect to hear some southern accents. “Vocals are hard because we have to use an accent,” Steven Rogers, theater major said. “And we have to maintain it the exact same for the whole show.” The actors must also develop their character’s clothing and make up style. Michelle Bierman, who teaches theatrical make up, gave the actors some advice. She also led a demonstration which transformed baby-faced Rogers into a sixty-five- year old man for his part as Big Daddy. The full cast is a very diverse group and even includes five children from the community. “The kids are very adorable. They’re professional kids, and they enjoy what they’re doing here,” Jesse Garcia, assistant stage manager said. “It’s a different experience, but it’s a lot of fun.” The children rehearse their parts right along with the rest of the cast.

“Remembering blocking and character lines are most important,” Marco Garcia, undeclared major, said. “When you’re up there and don’t know where to go or what to say, you can’t embrace the character fully.” The play’s director, Christa El-Said, and

Breeze Reviews: Resident Evil disappointingly painful HANAJUN CHUNG
What a poser. The awkwardly titled Resident Evil: Retribution feels like a long, pointless episode of tired serialized television show. Retribution poses an actual three-act structure but drops the third act to set-up the next installment. Imagine if Star Wars: A New Hope didn’t end with the award ceremony for Luke, Han, and Chewie, but instead with the team on Hoth, preparing to meet the Empire for battle. Retribution poses a deep, interconnected universe, but it’s really an excuse to bring back dead characters from previous installments. It poses from multiple genres such as zombies, thrillers, and martial-arts, but never fully commits to either one. The characters literally pose in front of the camera every couple minutes with a “oooh, I’m so badass” look that’s presented in slow-motion, even when they should be fleeing in terror. Speaking of the slow-mo, its overuse during the moments that should thrill the audiences, results in complete diffusion. The acting — across the board—is terrible. It’s unfortunate for the few foreign actors and actresses that are trying to break-out locally by playing Americans, but their stilted dialogue and uncomfortable delivery point out the obvious. The framing, I’ll admit, is impressive, recalling the look of old-school sci-fi such as 2001: A Space Odyssey or Solaris (Tarkovskiy, not Soderbergh). But that style adds to the contemplative nature of those older films. Here it’s just ostentatious, flaunting its budget rather

than servicing the story. By the way, if audience members are interested in computer-generated bullets, axes, and blood flying directly to your face (in slow motion!) then they might dig the 3D. I didn’t, and those extra dollars would’ve been useful in purchasing concession. The fifth film from director Paul W.S. Anderson’s series has our hero Alice (Milla Jovovich) back in action in trying to save the last of humankind from the zombie outbreak, while attempting to disable the mysterious and sinister Umbrella Corporation threat. If by chance people forgot the series, the film will spend a few minutes catching the viewers up on each film via Alice’s narration.
The story continues directly after the fourth film, with a brainwashed Jill Valentine successfully capturing Alice for Umbrella. The whole chunk of Retribution is Alice escaping from the Umbrella Corp. Headquarters with the aid of Ada Wong (Li Bingbing). They both encounter familiar faces from their respective histories, eventually teaming up for a similar cause. The main draw of this film (or the other series for that matter) is the zombie action, and Retribution has its moments. Fans of the video game series will recognize many characters, and those fans are going to be mostly disappointed in their portrayal.
The voice-acting in the video game’s cutscenes were acted better. Judging by the weekend opening, there are fans out there. Apparently, people are slightly curious or interested. I highly recommend seeing something else. The Good: It’s short. 95 min. The Bad: Resident Evil: Retribution. The Weird: The electronic music was pretty powerful, but more in a music video sense rather than the traditional function of a score. Overall: F

Title IX: Women’s sports looking pretty good at 40

SEVANNY CAMPOS
This past summer history was made at the London Summer Olympics. This was the first Olympiad that every country had female representation. For team USA, the women not only outnumber the men with 269 - 261, but they also outdid their male counterparts. 56% of the medals accumulated by the
US team was won by female athletes, 66% of those medals being gold. Audiences everywhere were glued to their television as the women’s US soccer team took on World Cup champions Japan or when the women’s gymnastics team won the all around gold. The passing of a small piece of legislation made moments like the Olympics and every nail biting, heart racing, and` excit-

T GOES TO PROVE THAT A RESIL
The Lady Panthers Water polo team plays hard, swims fast and scores strong. On Sept. 19 the Panthers faced the Pasadena Lancers and came away with a 11-9 victory. The Panthers started the match with a pregame song to get themselves hyped up before the toss in. Energized and ready to go, the Panthers started the game strong. Second meter offense, Kaitlyn Tanner opened up the game within the first five minutes by scoring the first goal. The team was in offensive mode against the Lancers. Focused on the offense the Panthers did not defend in the first quarter. “Our defense was poor,” coach Jennifer Moon Spalding said, “We were not at our best this game and it is something they are continuing to work on.” The Lancers took advantage of the lack offense when attacker Milene Minassians, scored their first goal to tie up the game and then followed up with a second goal. Going into the second quarter the score was 5-4 Panthers. Quarter one was just the beginning of the back and forth battle. “We would score a goal, and they would get right back,” Spalding said, “The Lancers kept the match interesting by always coming back to match the Panthers with a
goal.” Starting the second quarter Lancers came in strong answering with a fifth and sixth goal. Marisa Rack and Makenzie Blank were lead in goals. Panthers ended the second quarter stronger than they started. Tanner scored the sixth goal to tie up the game for the Panthers. With the second quarter coming to an end, 7.9 seconds remained on the game clock and the Panthers took the matter into their own hands. Driver Jessica Moser scored the last goal to put Chaffey up by one. The third and fourth quarters were the most intense. The crowd cheered for both sides which led both teams to keep the energy up and the offense and defense fast paced. Chaffey ended the fourth quarter strong with their offense leading them to the victory. “Once we started moving, I think we did okay and created opportunities for ourselves,” Spalding said. Offensively the Panthers were tougher in getting the ball in the goal. The bond of the Lady Panthers is what made them a solid force in the water. It goes to prove that a resilient bond between teammates can lead to a victory.

ing moment in women’s sports possible. This year is the 40th anniversary of Title IX. A section of the 1972 Education Amendment. It states, “No person in the United States, on the basis of sex, be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” The act proved to be the gateway for
women in collegiate sports, paving the way for amazing athletes such as gold medalists Mia Hamm, Lisa Leslie, Nastia Lukin and many more. After the passing of Title IX in 1972, there was a struggle within the NCAA whether women’s athletics should be implemented in universities, claiming Title IX was illegal. After a year long struggle Title IX stood strong and women’s athletics was integrated into universities. 40 years after the passing of Title IX women’s athletics are thriving. At Chaffey College, women have dominated the athletics program. With water polo, soccer, swim, softball, basketball and volleyball being available the Lady Panthers are passionate about their sports. The women’s water polo team is currently undefeated in the conference and the women’s soccer team is experiencing a five game winning streak. Title IX enabled women to have athletic scholarships to big name universities or to get the experience they needed at colleges like Chaffey. Title IX made it possible for women to have careers in athletics. The small text shorter than a tweet gave women a chance to be competitive and with only 40 years under the belt, Title IX is now looking pretty good.
