Two sessionsplanned forsummer termNICHOLAS SAULEditor-in-Chief

Two sessions will now beoffered for the upcoming 2013summer semester. Senior VicePresident and AssistantSuperintendent of Academic andStudent Affairs Robert Bell con-firmed that the summer termwill be twelve weeks long inwhich it will be split into two six-week sessions—the first onestarting on May 13, and the sec-ond on June 24.

“This will allow for classes tobe scheduled that will be eithereight weeks or twelve weeks in

duration,” Bell said in an e-mail. The two-session summer

semester was initiallyannounced in a press release infaculty/ staff mailboxes, and inan advertisement published inlast week’s issue of the Courier.

This is a stark contrast to whatwas previously said by PresidentMark Rocha who initially saidthat despite the cancellation ofwinter, there would be no guar-antee that there would be a two-session summer semester, or thatthere would even be classes atall.

Students from afarforced to adaptTERESA MENDOZAStaff Writer

A late spring session will bescheduled to accommodate inter-national students who had madearrangements to travel or workduring the eliminated winter ses-sion, officials said.

Vice President of InstructionRobert Bell explained that 12-weekclasses will be offered during theSpring semester allowingInternational students to enroll in12 units or more.

These classes will begin in mid-February and conclude along withother classes at the end of thesemester in May

Faye Luo, fashion, had plannedto travel home during the wintersession and decided to workaround the new calendar.

“I want to travel to Taiwan so Ihave to start school late [in] springsession,” said Lou.

The Office of Instruction hasreceived numerous emails frominternational students with con-cerns about enrolling in classes forthe coming spring semester sincethey had made arrangements totravel out of the country duringwhat would have been the wintersession, according to Bell.

“The [12-week] class sessions

will be offered in the same manneras Spring Forward classes in the2012 Spring semester,” he said.

International students havetheir classes guaranteed so theynever have problems with theirtravel, according to the AssistantDirector of International StudentsAmy Yan.

In addition, priority registrationwill be available to internationalstudents for these classes accord-ing to Bell.

Art major Eduardo Remis, fromMexico, said that the new calendaris more convenient because he cannow graduate after the summersession.

“I may have needed the winter[session], but it is basically thesame because now we have twosummer sessions,” Remis said.

A majority of international stu-dents like Rachel Xiao Tong Wang,psychology, found out last weekabout the change in the academiccalendar and realized she wouldnot be traveling home to China.“There is not enough time to trav-el,” said Wang.

Survey shows most colleges in distressRAYMOND BERNALStaff Writer

Community colleges respond-ing to a survey conducted by theCalifornia Community CollegesChancellor’s Office paint a pictureof drastic financial distressthroughout the Golden State.

Of the 78 colleges responding tothe survey, 85 percent indicate thatover 472,000 students were onwaiting lists, with an average ofover 7,000 students per college ona waiting list.

Sixty-four of the responding col-leges say they will not offer wintersession in the 2012-13 academicyear and 13 colleges will cancelsummer session in 2013.

There are 112 community col-leges in California making it thenation’s largest community collegesystem.

Community CollegesChancellor Jack Scott, former PCCpresident, was pessimistic in aninterview on Sept. 11.

“If PCC doesn’t cut classes the

college will go bankrupt,” he said.“The state won’t give the collegesignificant [additional] money, butif we don’t train our students nowCalifornia won’t have the workforce it needs in the future?”

Reduction of staff has occurredat 87 percent of the colleges in thesurvey, with 21 percent being theaverage staff reduction per college.Part-time faculty cuts were madeat 75 percent of responding col-leges.

PCC student Sneferu Hines,communications, said he’s wor-ried. “With all these cuts studentswill not be able to finish their edu-cation and life will become a strug-gle,” he said. “Students dreamsand aspirations won’t happen.”

In the midst of drastic budgetcuts, President Mark Rocha wasmore optimistic.

“One of the concerns is that thestudents are scared, but shouldn’tdrop-out. Don’t give up hope,” hesaid.

“All students currently enrolledwill be able to get their classes.

Maybe not right away but theywill get the classes they need fortheir programs,” Rocha said.

Both Scott and Rocha said theyhope that Proposition 30 – a ballotmeasure on the November ballotauthorizing temporary tax increas-es – passes.

“We will get some of this fund-ing back if Proposition 30 passes”Rocha said.

Jason Carman, geology, is look-ing at alternatives “Some of myfriends are thinking of transferringto a private college,” he said. “Itmight be more expensive but at-least they’ll have their classes.Many are just so frustrated and aregiving up on PCC.”

The budget cuts affect almosteveryone on campus. Facilitymaintenance worker Jose Barretoexpressed concern for his job andsaid in Spanish

“The students education comesfirst, as it should, and I’ll leave myjob in God’s hands.”

Low-cost transit pass offeredTERESA MENDOZAStaff Writer

PCC’s partnership with theLos Angeles County Metropo-litan Transportation Authorityand Foothill Transit has renewedthe I-TAP program for a thirdyear this fall.

I-TAP offers a low-cost busand rail pass to full-time stu-dents enrolled in at least 12units, for $35 per semester. Thispass saves students $114 overnon-participating school passprices.

Associated Students VicePresident for Sustainability JuanDiego Ashton, whose initiativesdrive PCC towards clean trans-portation, emphasizes the imp-ortance of expanding the I-TAPprogram to all PCC studentsrather than just full-time stu-dents.

“My 2012 campaign goal wasto lower students’ eligibility to 9units,” said Ashton.

However, Ashton was notinformed when college officialssigned this year’s I-TAP contractwith Metro, he said.

Scott Thayer, Dean of StudentAffairs, said the goal was to

include as many students as pos-sible in the program, but theexponentially-increased costdeterred the program from beingextended to part-time students.

“The guidelines of a full-timestudent, 12 units minimum eligi-bility, for the I-TAP is establishedbetween the college and Metro.However, if a campus wants tochange that rule, they canenforce that with us,” said SarahZadok, communications manag-er for Metro.

“We need to show that there isa demand for ridership so thatwe can have a stronger case toextend the program to part-timestudents,” said Ashton. “Now[with the new] trimester calen-dar there has to be some dia-logue with Metro and we canbring up the point to them.”

Thayer explained that PCChas an agreement with Metro fora set amount of 2,500 passes.Ifridership increased by offering I-TAP to part-time students, thecontract would have to be re-negotiated and it would mean ahigher cost.

The Student Activity Fee fundsthe total cost of the program.

"This raises the question of

having the funds to cover it,”said Thayer. “As a business,Metro sets the parameters of thecontract and wants to make surethey are not losing money.”

At the initial meeting withMetro, according to Thayer, thecollege decided the 12-unit mini-mum eligibility criterion aftercontacting other colleges abouttheir implementation of the pro-gram.

The I-TAP program was dis-cussed at the Aug. 3 and Sept. 7Board of Trustees meetings.Associated Students and collegeofficials noted the success of theprogram in support of its contin-uation.

President Mark Rocha saidthat the program benefits morethan just the students who usethe I-TAP.

“It takes any number of 100vehicles per day out of the park-ing lots and creates parkingspaces for the students thatremain. It helps [not to] turnoffthe neighbors because the stu-dents aren't circling the campuslooking for parking…in terms ofsustainability, it's a big deal to beable to reduce individual vehicleridership,” Rocha said.

Cicely Chisholm / CourierStudents can use their I-TAP card, purchased from the Student Business Services, to use the Metro andFoothill Transit whenever they please for one low price for the duration of the semester.

Jack Scottreturns toPasadenaRAYMOND BERNALStaff Writer

After almost six decades in adistinguished career as a leaderin higher education and as astate legislator, CaliforniaCommunity Colleges ChancellorJack Scott, former PCC presi-dent, is retiring and returninghome to the Pasadena area.

“I look forward to returning tothe Pasadena I love so much. It’smy home,” Scott said as hereflected fondly with rich laugh-ter.

As one studies in ShatfordLibrary, shops the aisles of thecampus bookstore or parks avehicle in one of the parkingstructures, one should rememberthat it was Chancellor Scott –while president of PCC – whowas instrumental in the con-struction of these buildings andothers throughout campus, acco-rding to Mark Dodge’s book“Pasadena City College”.

President Mark Rocha said:“Chancellor Scott has been sucha tremendous help to me and thecollege over the years. I love itthat’s he’s coming home.”

With a child’s excitement inhis voice, Scott says he’s lookingforward to revisiting some of hisfavorite places in Pasadena, suchas Kathleen’s restaurant on LakeAvenue, Laemmle’s Theatre andwalking the gardens of theHuntington Library. But, top ofthe list, Scott says is “catching aLancer game or two and meetingsome of the students.”

Performing and Communica-tions Arts Division Dean JamesArnwine has fond memories ofScott. “[My early years were] anoptimistic and exciting timebecause the college was growingthanks to Scott’s efforts. He ismuch loved and revered here.”

“I’m so looking forward to vis-iting with my grandchildrenmore and to explore with themas I watch them and their mindsgrow,” Scott said in a proud andgrandfatherly tone.

Advice aims to help with work permits

Sept. 7A student was referred to

Psychological Services after say-ing strange things about Italianstrying to “get him.” The studentthen proceeded to walk back andforth in the cafeteria whileyelling at other people.

Sept. 10Staff reported a transient

destroying the garden on thesouth side of the L building. Anofficer responded to the incident,but he was unable to locate thetransient.

Sept. 11A student reported that a man

was following her at ShatfordLibrary for three days. Officersresponded to the incident andcaptured the man as he fled fromthe north side of the library.After the person was transportedto the police station, he admittedthat he followed the womanbecause he thought she was cute.The man was admonished of theconsequences of the repeatedbehavior and was then released.

Sept. 11Students reported a man, not

affiliated with the campus, in thequad holding a sign with writingthat was offensive to women,various ethnic groups, and thosewith opposing religious or moralbeliefs. When officers respondedto the incident, the man wasdebating with students who hadgathered around him. Officersand cadets remained near thesubject until he left an hour later.

Sept. 12A woman was asked to empty

her bag after she was suspectedof stealing a book from thelibrary. The front cover was tornoff, but the magnetic strip acti-vated the alarm. The library staffdid not press charges.

Sept. 12The Student Affairs Office

reported a man throwing itemsinto the bike racks near the gar-den. After an officer responded,the man was found to be a tran-sient. The transient was latercounseled regarding his behav-ior and escorted off campus.

Should taxes be increased?YES

NO

Schools needthe money fromProposition 30

NovemberBallot measurehas major flaw

LUIS RODRIGUEZStaff Writer

The November ballot is comingup quick and voters cannot letProposition 30 come and godown. Proposition 30 would pre-vent deep cuts in school fundingand would provide billions innew funding. Without proposi-tion 30, California schools andcolleges face $6 billion in devas-tating cuts this year, according toGov. Jerry Brown.

Proposition 30 will raise thestate sales tax by a quarter of acent to 7.5 percent from 7.25 per-cent for four years, and increasethe personal income tax rate fortaxpayers making more than$250,000 for seven years.

Few like to pay more in taxesbut the implications are clear ifthis opportunity passes.Classrooms from kindergarten tocommunity colleges and four-year universities will take anotherdevastating hit.

"It's about taking money fromthe most blessed and giving it tothe schools," said the governor.Brown says the only way to bal-ance the budget is by asking thewealthy to temporarily give upwhat they can afford to stabilize

the state’s economy. Eleven per-cent of the new revenue will beallocated to community colleges.

The League of Woman Voters ofCalifornia recognizes the impor-tance of Proposition 30 becominga reality. Proposition 30 begins tomove California toward financialstability and adequate funding forall the services residents expectfrom the government. The statecan’t continue to cut vital publicservices like schools and publicsafety, according to League’s web-site. The tax increase on allCalifornians is modest and it istime the top earners loosenedtheir purse strings if they care atall about posterity.

Proposition 30, also known asthe “The Schools and Local PublicSafety Protection Act of 2012” isclear that the money is goingdirectly to the classroom. “Thismeasure guarantees that the newrevenue it raises will be sentdirectly to school districts forclassroom expenses, not adminis-trative costs,” according to thetext of proposition 30.

This proposition will not, nor isit meant to, solve the crisis in edu-cation, but it is an auspicious startin uncertain times.

MARY NURRENBERNStaff Writer

“Money doesn’t talk, itswears,” Bob Dylan says in oneof his songs. If he is right, ourstate is cussing up a storm.

California’s financial situationcan be fixed, and Proposition 30on the November ballot wouldtake the right steps in taxing therich. But it would also tax thosewho need to save their money:the poor and the middle class.Gov. Jerry Brown believes he hasan answer to California’s finan-cial crisis with Proposition 30.Proposition 30 will increase per-sonal income tax on annual earn-ings over $250,000 for sevenyears, and increase sales and usetax by one-quarter of a cent forfour years. It allocates 11 percentof temporary tax revenues tocommunity colleges.

“The test of our progress is notwhether we add more to theabundance of those who havemuch; it is whether we provideenough for those who have toolittle,” said President Franklin D.Roosevelt.

Do we take from those whoare already struggling financial-ly? From students who can’t

afford to pay for classes? Frompeople who have lost their jobsor from families struggling tomake ends meet?

The current unemploymentrate as of July is 8.6 percent,according to the Federal Bureauof Labor Statistics. And 60 per-cent of students at PCC are onfinancial aid, according to KimMiles, dean of scholarships andfinancial aid.

Gov. Brown is trying to helpCalifornians. But is asking themajority of us to pay more taxesthe right way to do this?

The one good thing aboutProposition 30 is that it doesinclude taking money from thosethat who can afford to help. Itdoesn’t specify, however, howmuch the tax will be increasedfor those making over $250,000.

The analysis published by thestate Attorney General’s officesays: “Increases personal incometax on annual earnings over$250,000 for seven years.” Although Proposition 30 hasgood intentions of helping fundeducation, its major misstep is inincreasing taxes for those whotruly need the money.

QUESTION:So if all you’re doing is flipping the calendar, why not just keep the calendar as it is?

Why can’t the District just fund extra winter session classes under the same calendar as it always has done?

Why is this called a “tentative” calendar? Should I plan to be here on January 7 or not?

I’m a student planning to graduate and transfer in the Spring and I was planning to take a winter session class to meet the requirements of my educational plan? What do I do now?

I’m a student and I was planning to work full time or travel during the winter. Now what do I do?

OK, so when and how will I register and get my classes for the Spring semester?

Will the fall 2013 term finish after the holiday break?

When will the spring 2013 class schedule be available/ posted online?

Will the new calendar cost students more in fees?

Will there be summer classes?

I’m a full-time faculty member and I’m not scheduled to teach in the winter and I have already made other plans to be away. What do I do?

I’m a faculty member and I’m scheduled to teach a new course in the Spring and I was counting on the winter break to prepare.

City at night, private eyes,femme fatales, and a sense ofpredetermined fate – all of theseare key elements that make aclassic film noir.

Film as dramatic literaturewith Instructor Joseph Sierraexamines the quintessentialnoir films and the ideas, storylines, characters, and cine-matography by watching a clas-sic catalog of film noir.

“Generally we go through theclassic ideas of noir: shadowycinematography, the sense offate, the private eyes, femmefatales, and the crime. We see alot of great films,” said Sierra.

Sierra chose to focus his classon film noir because he foundthe cinematography and darkthemes beautiful and interest-ing.

“I find it aesthetically beauti-ful in a dark way. Its darkthemes are personally interest-ing to me,” he said.

For students who can’t getenough noir in class, Sierrabrings his own personal collec-tion of noir films for students to

borrow.“I bring my [Noir film] collec-

tion and I trustingly lend [thefilms] to the class,” said Sierra.

Sierra feels that the way stu-dents analyze films in his classis useful in other classes as well.

“What you learn in a filmclass you can use in other class-es [because] what you are doingis analyzing a piece of art,” saidSierra

English Instructor KathleenGreen, also believes that a filmclass can be helpful in subjectsother than the study of film.

“Taking a film class is helpfulfor literature majors. It helpsyou question how literatureworks. Many important ideas inliterary theory emerged in filmtheory,” said Green.

Green shows some of thesame noir films in her film asdramatic literature class.

“I think it’s a great class, Ishow some of the same films ina different class [film as dra-matic literature],” said Green.

Sierra hopes students whotake his class learn to love film,identify noir, and gain ideasfrom the films.

“What I want them to do isgenerally love film and to beable to identify and understandnoir as opposed to just a movie.Also to be able to get ideas andwrite about [them],” said Sierra.

Kem Turner a student whohas previously taken Sierra’sclass says she enjoyed the dis-cussions the class would havebefore watching the films.

“We would have discussions

before watching the filmregarding certain lighting ele-ments, locations, studios, direc-tors, and of course the historyof the genre,” said Turner.

Turner believes the classshould be a requirement forfilm majors.

“Professor Sierra’s noir classshould be a requirement for anyfilm majors and I would strong-ly recommend it for any one

that loves film and the art ofvisual storytelling, its evenhelped me become a betterwriter,” says Turner.

“The history of film noir isfascinating, I even learned to bea better writer,” said Turner.

Even though action films nowdominate Hollywood, Sierrabelieves that the noir genre willnever go away.

“Action films have pretty

much taken over but the look ofnoir is still there. I think thenoir will never go away. Itcomes and goes when a cultureis at a point where it starts toquestion things and there is anuncertainty and the foundationseems rocky,” Sierra said.

For those interested in filmnoir he recommends “The BigSleep” and “The MalteseFalcon”.

The annual Faculty Art Exhibitthat opened at the Art Gallery onSept. 6, featured 37 artists thisyear working in many genresacross the spectrum of at as wellas artists from different disci-plines.

With a mixture of differenttypes of art works and artisticstyles, the gallery had a piece foreveryone.

According to Brian Tucker,gallery director, as the Visual Artand Media Studies Divisionbegins to grow, awareness for artappreciation has developed eachyear with this event.

“The division has expandedand has increased diversity,“said Tucker. “Things like archi-tecture and fashion have beenadded.”

Art in the exhibition includedworks of photography, anima-tion, fashion, architecture, fineart, digital media, and painting.Themes found in the art variedfrom architectural appreciationto environmental awareness.

Artist Silvia Rigon, who teach-es 3D- modeling and animationas well as fine art, was the cre-ator of the Panta Rei piece.

She explains in her descriptionof the Panta Rei the incorpora-tion of an environmental issuewith cartoons in order to makethe piece comprehensible.

“It stands out simply becauseit’s animated, almost cartoon-like and it is integrated with dig-ital media,” said Rigon.

The piece is seemingly an infi-nite amount of animated trashoverwhelmingly flowingtowards the viewer through ascreen. Nevertheless, Panta Reiand digital media were not theonly standouts in the gallery.

Every single piece had a per-sonal quality that seemed toattract groups of viewers sporad-ically.

One of those was Jerry Graves’laser print, Art Comes From Life.Photography instructor andexperienced graphic designer,his piece was a redefining line ofwhat is fine art and what is con-sidered graphic design.

According to Graves, the fabri-cation of art is composed of theartist’s life.

“Art comes from life and lifeexperiences…in a whimsicalway if you’re making art thatdoesn’t come from your life, thenit is not art,” said Graves.

As a graphic designer this wasthe first piece he contributed tothe gallery that would be consid-ered fine art.

"In the overall diverse compo-sition of this year’s exhibit,pieces such as Art Comes FromLife brought a great number ofviewers all from different back-grounds willing to take sometime to appreciate art created byfaculty," said Kevin Figueroa anattendee at the show.

“I think it’s wonderful that wehave an active division,” saidRigon. She added that the divi-sion has made a huge effort topush forward art awareness andincorporate different types of art.

“Whether we have the moneyto fund [summer] is an openquestion at this point. Will therebe classes? We hope,” Rochasaid in an interview on August30.

Although Bell con-firmed that both sessions willindeed have classes, he did sup-plement the guarantee with theaddendum that there will onlybe two sessions “if it is deter-mined if [it] best meets the needsof students.”

Even though the tentative

three-semester calendar hasbeen established through theadministration, controversyremains over its passage.

“There is no guarantee of any-thing under a tentative calen-dar,” said Krista Walter, Co-chair of the committee that cre-ated and submitted the originalcalendar that included both awinter and summer interses-sion.

“It is not an official, legal cal-endar, hence the adjective ‘tenta-tive,” she continued. “This ten-tative calendar comes directly

from Rocha. It has been unilater-ally imposed despite heavy stu-dent and faculty opposition.”

The first summer session willinclude a number of specializedinstructional periods that looksto accommodate those who havemost been affected by the elimi-nation of winter.

The beginning of the firstsummer session (summer ses-sion I) will have a six-weekinstructional period that willcater towards students who arewithin 12 units of transferring orgraduating.

Leaned back in his chair with hischin in his hands, Stan Kong, assis-tant professor of Industrial Design,reminisces about his days in col-lege.

“The opportunity to learn is oneof the things I loved about college,along with the people,” said Kong.

As a boy, Kong”s family wereimmigrants and didn’t”t have a lotof money.

He made his own toys and wasfascinated learning how thingscame together by watching hismother (a seamstress) sew.

In high school he learned tobuild bicycles, skateboards andjewelry.

He eventually began to sell thejewelry. Design was in his blood.

His face lights up when he talksabout teaching.

He has taught at PCC since 1987and at the Art Center since 1983.

His students have gone on to

work for large corporations suchas Mercedes Benz, Disney, Appleand BMW.

“It makes me feel good to knowI have had a great impact on the

world in some way,” said Kong.Lauren Takayama, industrial

design, changed her major becauseof the encouragement she got fromKong.

“I didn’t think I had the abilityto do industrial design but withencouragement from Kong myperspective changed,” saidTakayama.

Kong”s mentor John Caldwell, afamous furniture designer, was ateacher at PCC who encouragedKong to go to PCC.

When Caldwell retired, Kongtook over the program thatCaldwell had started.

“He did wonderful things forme,” said Kong of Caldwell.

Kong was a student at ArtCenter of Design in 1983 and left topursue his career, but was offereda position to work there and tookthe job.

He decided to go back and gethis bachelors degree in 2002.

He chose that year because 12out of the 13 students that weregraduating he had taught and itwas special to him to graduatewith them.

Kong was working as an indus-trial designer and teaching at the

same time, but he decided to passon prominent jobs because teach-ing was so important to him.

He has no regrets. “There isnothing I would want to change. Iwant to be a teacher and I get to dowhat I want,” said Kong.

He stops and thinks for aminute, then starts to laugh. “Wellif I could go back, I would like toknow what the lottery numbersare,” said Kong.

“Stan has one of the best reputa-tions with students,” said JoeFuttner, Interim Dean of VisualArts and Media Studies.

“He makes you believe in your-self, he is always happy to helpwith questions and,encouragesstudents to follow their dreams,”said Oksana Byka, product design.

“I really like to be able to helpimprove peoples lives, the rewardis great,” said Kong.

Many say listening to music helps them to studySHELLY MALDONADOStaff Writer

Many students depend on thetunes streaming from their iPodsas an aid in keeping themfocused while studying.

It takes only a few steps oncampus to notice the innumer-able students working on theirlaptops writing papers, readingbooks, and studying for examsall the while having their head-phones glued to their ears.

The idea that listening tomusic while studying serves as away to remain better focused is

unmistakable on a stroll throughcampus.

Not everyone, however, oncampus is on board the music-makes-me-study-better band-wagon.

Performing andCommunication Arts Instructor,Steven Gates, has a different takeon this concept.

“[Students] probably should-n’t be listening to music ifthey’re trying to study,” saysGates.

Listening to music whilestudying does not strike Gates asthe best idea.

“Some people claim to do bet-ter when they have externalnoise, but for me, personally, Ineed silence,” says Gates.

Country seems to be a populargenre of music among studentstrying to concentrate.

“I like the songs,” said DuongLe, Computer Science.

“It relaxes me and makes methink better.”

The country trend, however,does not stop at a single student.“It helps… If I don’t have musicI get easily distracted,” says JayGedorio, Chemistry. “I find thatit calms me down and helps me

concentrate.”Student Breana Escobedo,

Psychology, says, “It puts me onthat state of mind.”

Other genres are also beingtaken into consideration in thequest for better concentration.

“I listen to indie, rock, andfolk,” says Andrea Cavillo,Animal Science.

“It’s only when I’m readingthat I need complete silence.Otherwise, I need some back-ground noise to help me focus.”

Other students do not haveany preference for music theylisten to when studying.

“Any kind. Whatever I’m inthe mood for,” says MichaelCalderon, mechanical engineer-ing.

“It keeps me focused, but itcan be distracting if I’m readingor trying to memorize some-thing.”

Gates has this to say for thosewho absolutely need back-ground noise while their nose isburied in school work:“Anything that puts them in agood place.”

Water polo falls short in road game loss

PHILIP MCCORMICKSports Editor

The Saturday night lights were on at RobinsonStadium and the crowd was cheering asQuarterback Justin Posthuma returned from hisinjury, but unlike the lights, the Lancers wereunable to shine. The El Camino College Warriorsliced through PCC with a winning score of 46-27on Saturday.

“I felt excited,” said Posthuma. “I was ready andprepared to play. Once we start working as a team,we will do better.”

The Lancers started off with good defense andwere able to hold off the Warriors, but with aboutone minute left in the first quarter, El Camino wasable to score a touchdown. PCC answered with a70-yard kick-off return from wide receiver TairenOwens, which led to a field goal by kicker MartinMagana, making it a 3-point game with 44.6 sec-onds left in the first.

“I felt pretty good about the game coming out,”said Owens who had 196 all-purpose yards in thegame. “And [Magana] is a really good kicker.”

“Our defense is great,” said Posthuma. “[Theoffense] has to do better, though. If we do our job,the defense can do their job.”

The Lancers were able to get back down the fieldeventually, but were unsuccessful in getting thetouchdown and had to settle for another field goalfrom Magana. The team couldn’t find the end zone.

“We are not good on third down conversions,”said Head Coach Fred Fimbres. “It’s an issue thatwe have to work.”

El Camino kept the pressure on PCC, as theyscored another touchdown to put the Warriors upby 12 points. Owens said that the coaches told themto “keep fighting”, when they went into the lockers.

“Due to injuries, we have been starting with guyswho have less playing experience than ourstarters,” said Fimbres. “They are still learning thegame.”

The start of the third quarter looked promisingfor the Lancers, as the defense scored on an inter-ception, making it 18-12 and keeping it a closegame. PCC was fired up, but about four minuteslater, disaster struck. The Warriors found the endzone three more time in the quarter and at the end,PCC was down 39-13.

“It’s really feast or famine with our defense,” saidFimbres. “We need to sharpen up, on that end.”

The Lancers tried to fight back, putting inQuarterback Zeek Julien who was able to get PCCtwo more touchdowns, but the damage had beendone.

“We beat ourselves,” said Owens “We need to bemore disciplined. But we’ll get better. We are stilllearning.”

Fimbres did say the team had improved on itsrunning game and that its kicking game was get-ting really good.

The women’s water polo teamlost to Long Beach City Collegeon Sept. 12 at the Aquatic Center.Despite a well played game, theLancers lost, 6-7.

At the end of the third quarter,PCC was down 4-6. That didn’t

stop the cheers from the audi-ence. Coach Terry Stoddard wasshouting at the team to directthem.

As the fourth quarter started,Long Beach scored putting theVikings up by three points.Disappointment fell over thesmall crowd of about 30 people,but PCC soon caught up and

scored twice. Cheers eruptedfrom the audience and the team.Players hugged and high fivedin the water.

The second goal was madewith only eight seconds left.Swimming hard and fast, PCCtried hard to tie the game, buttime ran out.

During the last minute of the

fourth quarter, a group of specta-tors started chanting “Let’s goLancers!” and the players on thebench joined in to cheer on theirfellow team members. The timerbuzzed to mark the end of thegame and all the players startedgetting out of the pool.

“We played really well togeth-er as a team,” he said. “In our

fifth game of the season to playthat well together as a team isgood.”

PCC fought really hard duringthe course of the game andrefused to be an easy win. “Weweren’t just going to be beaten.[Long Beach] was going to haveto fight,” said Stoddard.

Men’s soccer gets shut out in 1-0 loss to DesertJONATHAN BILESContributing Writer

The Lancers were unable to capitalizeon their multitude of scoring chances in a1-0 loss to the College of the DesertRoadrunners at Robinson Stadium onSaturday. Other than the late game con-troversy involving the Roadrunners’coach, the game was in PCC’s hands, butthey failed to turn their solid play into apositive result.

With a record of 0-4-1, the Lancers haveyet to put together a full 90 minutes ofcontinuity and continue to find it difficultto turn a possession advantage into scor-ing goals.

“It was one of those games,” HeadCoach Edgar Manvelyan said after thegame. “They’re a very good team and wedidn’t take advantage of our chances.”

The second half was more of the same,except for a mental lapse by the Lancers’defense, as a throw-in went into the PCCbox and was easily tapped in byRoadrunner Fabian Cortez in the 59thminute.

“We had four guys set up top, we gotno clear shots and their goalie did a fan-tastic job,” said Manvelyan.

The game had become contentiousbetween the two teams, but in the 89thminute, Lancer midfielder Larson went toretrieve a ball that had rolled out-of-bounds, and was impeded on his wayback to the field by Roadrunners HeadCoach Pipo Castillo.

“I went for the ball for the throw in, andhe got in my way,” said Larson after thegame. “He stuck his leg out, nudged me,and then cussed at me in Spanish.”

This episode resulted in both team’sbenches clearing to defend their team-mate and coach. After the teams hadrelaxed and the referee had broken up theshoving match, the head referee gaveCoach Castillo a red card and an immedi-ate ejection from the stadium.

“He was probably trying to wastetime,” Coach Manvelyan said about inci-dent, “but it’s very unsportsmanlike and Iappreciate the red card from the referee.”

Even after five extra minutes wereadded due to play stoppage, and anotheronslaught of chances for the Lancers, thegame ended in a 1-0 loss, with PCC out-shooting their opponent 16-7.

“We worked hard, we just couldn’tscore,” said Manvelyan.
