After being sent off on Wednesday, March 13 at a campus rally in the quad, the Panthers began started their spring break with a journey to Sacramento to play in the California Community College fi nal four semifi nals.

The men faced the undefeated City Col-lege of San Francisco Rams on March 15 at Consumnes River College.

The Chaffey Hustlin’ Panthers defeated the Rams 87-85. It was an intense game as the two teams were evenly matched. The score of the game constantly change favor but no more than one or two points. Nei-ther the Panther nor the Rams could pull away with a signifi cant lead.

With 37 seconds left in regulation San Francisco guard Chuks Iroegou tied the game at 85. The game looked like it was headed into overtime when Panthers soph-omore guard Sango Niang made it in the bucket with 3.2 seconds left in the game, giving his team a spot in the fi nal game March 17.

Later in the evening after defeating Merritt College, the Panthers were intro-duced to their opponent in the fi nal, the Mount San Antonio College Mounties.

“Before the season started, we felt we had a team that could not only win the Foothill Conference but a team that could win the State,” head coach Jeff Klein said.

The fi nal game took place at Com-sumnes River College. Ironically, the Hus-tlin’ Panthers journey found themselves

faced off against Mt. SAC, a college about 25 miles east of the Chaffey campus.

“One thing about this team is they have good character as well as they are good players,” Chaffey President Dr. Henry Shannon said. “Getting San Francisco was the epitome of team work.”

ASCC offered students a bus ride to Sacramento to root for the Panthers. Chaf-fey faculty, students and alumni traveled to Northern California to support the historic championship run.

The Hustlin’ Panthers came out of the temporary locker room with excitement and enthusiasm, and they started the game the same way.

Chaffey scored fi rst, leading early 11-7. That would be the Panthers’ last lead of the game, however, as Mt. SAC took over 15-13 with 13:12 remaining in the fi rst half.

The Panthers were led by sophomores Justin Long, Ryan Nitz, Kenny Morgan and Niang. The four sophomores were a constant presence throughout the game.

After one too many turnovers, the Mounties led by 23 points with 15:22 left in the game. Despite the signifi cant defi cit the Panthers continued to play hard.

With 3:35 left in he game the Panthers were down by just 8 points, thanks to a 3-point shot by state-recognized player Long.

“I told the team we have this. It was our time to step up,” Nitz said, “We had been down the whole game, and we cut it to 10 and we just weren’t

To carry or not to carry? A question of protection

KELSEY OGLE

Shots fired on campus! Hide in areas where the shooter can’t see you, and if he or she comes into your classroom, adopt a BS “survival mentality” and throw chairs, textbooks, binders and whatever else is on hand in an attempt to distract the person with a gun.

That was the basic message of the vid-eo that Chaffey students and staff were re-quired to watch after an active shooter drill on all three campuses on the morning of

April 3.It’s naive for people to think they would

be able to defend themselves against an armed person or persons by throwing ob-jects at the shooter or trying to rush and tackle the person.

The only way would-be victims of mass shootings anywhere — in a school, a movie theater, a mall, or wherever — can defend themselves against a shooter once he or she has entered the area is by having access to a gun and exchanging fire.

Throwing random objects at a mentally

unstable person who is determined to kill won’t have any effect.

The only way to fight gunfire is with gunfire.

That being said, teachers should be trained to use guns, and every classroom should have a gun safe containing a loaded gun built into the wall. Teachers and oth-er faculty should be the only people to be able to open the safes, and they should be properly trained in gun safety and how to effectively aim and fire a gun.

There should also be frequent mental

health screenings to ensure that teachers do not become the threats that the guns in the classrooms are intended to defend against. Using a gun is the only way to have a fight-ing chance against a shooter once shooting has begun.

There will always be mentally ill people who will commit mass shootings. But with guns in schools and other public places that only employees can access, people who find themselves in a mass shooting situa-tion will be protected.

SEVANNY CAMPOS

“There is a shooter on campus.” On April 3, students at Chaffey had a

Emergency Preparedness Drill in case such a thing should happen.

After the drill instructors showed stu-dents an active shooter video.

“I think the drill went well,” police ca-det Javier Alvarez said. “It’s nice to be pre-pared and good to know what to do when in a situation like that.”

The video gave students options on how to handle a shooter on campus.

One focus of the video was survival mentality and “take out the shooter.” The idea being that a person cannot just hide and hope the shooter will leave and have mercy.

The officers in the video said, “The per-sons must be fully committed to disarm-ing the shooter, throw whatever is at your

disposal to distract him and then make an effort to disarm him.”

An example of this tactic is Flight 93. The passengers on flight 93 on 9/11 knew the terrorists had the intent of doing as much damage as possible and killing as many people as possible. The passengers were fully committed to preventing this and moved to stop the terrorist. As a result the plane crashed in a open field. While the passengers died, they prevented any fur-ther loss of life.

This tactic has its drawbacks, however. It also inspires some to believe that arming teachers in classrooms is a good idea.

Republican Senator Rand Paul said to students at the University of Kentucky ,“The only thing that could have prevented the shooting would have been if the princi-pal had a gun at his desk or if the teacher had a gun at his desk.”

NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre previously

called this tactic “arming the good guys.”Most teachers disagree. A nationwide

survey done by the School Improvement Network found 72 percent of teachers would not handle a firearm at school, even if allowed to.

While the idea of arming the good guys seems appealing, for half a second, the reality is putting guns in classrooms is a terrible idea. The NRA is suggesting teachers go through a training to handle a gun during the case of the of a shooter on campus.

I do not believe a few 4-hour sessions with a hand gun is going to prepare a teach-er to handle a person who is intent on kill-ing everyone.

Shooting a weapon means an educator has the power to end a life. A professor with a weapon has not had the years of training with a firearm that a police officer has.

Law enforcement agencies go through intense training to remain calm in situa-tions like a shooting on campus; professors do not.

There is also a major possibility of higher casualties because their aim is most likely to be off.

It also makes the job for law enforce-ment much harder. When the police get on campus, it is going to be difficult to iden-tify who is the shooter with two people pointing guns.

Guns create aggressors and violence. The mindset of a professor in that situation is unpredictable. Preparation in the case of a shooting, like the video shown on April 3, will not prevent shootings from happen-ing, but it will greatly increase the handling of the situation and decrease the amount of damage a shooter can do.

Guns never end violence. Guns end lives.

CARLY OWENS

Censorship has been a hot topic this entire semester, with the Chaffey Review being pulled off the shelf, even temporarily. However, this issue just exemplifies the dis-connect that students feel from the administration.

In talking with administration about pulling the Review off the shelf, it comes across as if they don’t see what the real issue is. It seems like they feel they had the right to do that. But, according to the Student Press Law Center (SPLC), they don’t.

On top of freedom of the press being part of our coun-try’s constitution, California has very specific free-expres-sion laws as well.

According to the SPLC, these laws “shall not prohibit the right of students to exercise free expression including … the distribution of printed materials.”

The Review is currently working on its 10th volume, and there has been controversial material since volume 1 in one form or another either writing or art. It makes one wonder why it was this volume administration decided to pick on.

The fact that administrators didn’t seemed bothered by the students’ outcry of frustration makes students feel that we have no voice. But the truth is, we do. As the students, we are the reason administrations hold their positions. If there were no students, there would be no school, and no need for these administrators.

What the school needs, on every level, administration, faculty, staff and students, is a school-wide censorship ed-ucation. Not everyone knows the ins and outs of freedom of the student press, and that is understandable. By educat-ing us all, this entire situation could be avoided.

The dust has begun to settle, but my fear is that the administration feel they got away with it. There has been no major repercussions for them, and because of this, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to do something like this again.

It’s been a learning experience for everyone, but what administration really needs to learn is simple: They can’t censor us.

Guns never end violence; guns end lives and lead to tragedy

High court divided on marriage equality

GRAPHIC BY KIM GONZALES

Last week you couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing some type of news involv-ing the Supreme Court case on California’s Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act.

Prop. 8, which was passed in 2008, is a law banning same-sex marriage in Cali-fornia. The proposition, which passed on a slim margin of 52.24 percent to 47.76 per-cent, has caused controversy for the liberal state.

The case for same-sex marriage was opened when California’s Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to forbid same-sex couples the right to marry. This in turned raised opposition from those who believed that marriage should only be be-tween a man and a woman. The same year, Prop. 8 was put on the ballot, and was passed by the majority of California voters.

“I don’t see any reason why [same-sex marriage] shouldn’t be allowed,” Amy Burnett, chemical engineering major, said. “The idea that marriage is a religious thing is completely incorrect now, because peo-ple get married without a priest or a pas-tor.”

Burnett felt that the ban is similar to those people have faced in the past.

“It’s exactly the same when black and whites couldn’t get married, and it’s ridic-ulous,” she said. “I come from an interra-cial family there’s no reason why lesbians and gays shouldn’t get married.”

Ted Olson, the main litigator opposing Prop. 8, had the same conclusion as Bur-nett.

“You could have said in the Loving case, what — you can’t get married, but

you can have an interracial union. Every-one would know that that was wrong,” Olson said, referring to the Loving vs. Vir-ginia case that overturned all laws banning interracial marriage in the U.S.

“I think [Prop. 8 is] really silly,” Adri-ana Rafferty, undecided major, said.

“I think our children are going to look back at [Prop. 8] and think it was really stupid,” Rafferty said. “But props have a lot [to do with] political and insurance things as well.”

Jasmine Pittman-Soto concurred with Rafferty.

“Yeah, they have weird underlinings that you don’t know about,” she said.

What Rafferty is referring to is the fact that these cases are not just about the label of marriage, as Chief Justice John Roberts believes, but it also has to deal with the fi -nancial aspects as well.

Burnett said, “Let these two [gay] indi-viduals come together with the same rights, tax write-offs, tax benefi ts, insurance cov-erage, that everyone else could get.”

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which was signed into action in 1996 by President Bill Clinton, however, is putting a major strain on the case against Prop. 8. Section 3 of DOMA states that marriage is defi ned as being between a man and a woman, and it will either have to be struck down or upheld in court. This can play a huge role in the justices’ overall decision and perception of California’s Prop. 8.

Now that hearings have concluded, the Supreme Court justices will have time to deliberate their decisions. Speculation on the possible date of their fi nal decision is mid to late June of this year.

The Spanish Club knows how important donating blood is, and they’re making sure other students know too.

The club hosted a blood drive on April 1 and will host another on Wednesday, April 10, on the Chino campus, from 8 a.m. to 8p.m.

Most students are eligible to donate blood. To make an appointment to donate please call 909 772 8546.

These blood drives are part of a much larger national initiative — the Cesar E. Chavez Blood Drive Challenge. This chal-lenge encourages student leaders such as Andrea Ortiz, Spanish Club president, to organize blood donor recruitment cam-paigns on their campuses. Today more than 30,000 students across the nation partici-pate in this challenge.

“It was a great leadership learning ex-perience,” Ortiz said. “With the help of the Spanish Club we were able to get the word out about the drives throughout our cam-puses using fl yers and getting students to register through short class presentations.”

As an active club, the Spanish Club is trying to help build some student life on the two smaller campuses.

The donation process is quick and easy. The fi rst step is the registration phase.During this the donor is required to present a valid form of I.D. The second step is a mini-physical, during this physical the do-

nor will be asked about health history and any travel that the donor has done recently. They will also check temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and hemoglobin levels.

After the donor is cleared, the actual do-nation will take place. When the donation is complete, the donor is given refresh-ments. After 10-15 minutes the donor can leave the site.

There are several types of donations a person can do. The most common type of donation is a whole blood donation, during this donation a whole pint of blood is giv-en. This type of donation usually takes an hour. The actual donation takes about 10 minutes.

A person can donate whole blood ev-ery 56 days. Another type of donation is double red cells. As the name implies the donor gives twice the normal amount of red cells. This donation takes an hour and a half. The actual donation takes 30 min-utes. Donors for this type of donation have slightly different requirements.

More information about the process of giving blood, and where more opportuni-ties to give blood can be found are on the American Red Cross website.

Ortiz encourages students to donate.“You never know when your mother,

cousin or best friend may one day need a blood transfusion to save their lives,” she said. “With one blood donation you can save up to three lives.”

VALEEN GONZALES

Still stinging from the administration’s recent act of censorship, there was standing room only as students and faculty turned out to discuss students’ rights on March 27.

One Book, One College, ICC Commis-sioner Jen Nieves and Patrick Jimenez with the Gay Straight Alliance sponsored a pan-el discussion on the censorship of the Chaf-fey Review at the start of the semester, the effects of that censorship and what rights students have with their publications.

“I felt very helpless and vulnerable as a student, intellectual and member of the LGBT community,” Jimenez said. “The idea that they could silence my fellow stu-dents or attach a stigma to their work by attaching a grossly inflammatory warning label on the Review was alarming to me.”

The panel consisted of English pro-fessor and faculty adviser of the Review Michelle Dowd, English professor Angela Bartlett and director of the Wignall Mu-seum Rebecca Trawick. Political science professor Kevin Cameron served as mod-erator and shared his expertise in constitu-tional and legal issues. Members of the ad-ministration were invited, but were unable to attend.

Almost every seat in room 143 of the Health Sciences building was filled and more attendees stood in the back of the room. Both students and faculty had a lot to say about censorship on campus.

The panel discussed the events that led up to the Review being pulled from the bookstore shelves and the sticker that was affixed to the cover.

“The fact that a sticker was put on the book without consulting the students, or myself as a advisor so that I could consult the students, which linked this volume to school violence, I think that was an in-fringement,” Dowd said. “I’m saying that publicly because I think that made a lot of students very uncomfortable.”

Pablo Martinez, a student who joined the Review this semester, shared his feel-ings about the label.

“I am now associated with something they have named as violent,” Martinez said. “How can they associate me with that

and yet have no representation to back that action up? I’d like, as a student to tell them how I feel, bit it seems like I can’t.”

Cameron explained the legal ramifica-tions of administration’s actions.

“The irony,” Cameron said, “is by mak-ing an editorial decision about the journal, what the college did was create a legal lia-bility for itself that had not existed before.”

The majority of the event’s time was taken by students and faculty who had questions and comments about censorship and the Review incident.

It became a forum for students to air their grievances about the administration’s actions and for the many faculty from mul-tiple departments to show their support for students’ right to freedom of the press.

“I was happy not only about the turn-out,” Jimenez said, “but about the passion I saw in the students there.”

The sentiment from students at the event was that not only has there been no apolo-gy from the administration for removing

the Review from the bookstore, but there has been no acknowledgment that they vi-olated students’ rights or consequences for their act of censorship.

Dowd encouraged students to not let one act of censorship silence their creative voices.

“I encourage students to take risks,” Dowd said, “and I agree with Ai Weiwei that all of us participating in the artistic community have the responsibility to sup-port others in their freedom of expression.”

Adrenaline junkie, hard worker, and family man are probably the best ways to describe Chaffey’s starting men’s pitcher, Richard Plascencia.

The right handed pitcher is motivated on the field. Cur-rently Plascencia is concentrated in helping his team get past third place in the Foothill conference. But he is also driven off the field just as much.

“Sky diving, I love the adrenaline rush. If I had time, I would try to make that my hobby,” Plascencia said. The right handed pitcher has gone skydiving twice already. He thrives on doing activities that get his blood flowing and heart pumping.

Any outdoor activity such as hiking or fitness draws Plascencia’s attention instantly. The Panther is constantly working out both physically and mentally. He is always striving to be on point. He even works at a gym for his part time job. When he is not on the field or getting his heart pumping, he is cracking down on his studies.

“I try hard in the classroom. I am always a go-getter, and I try hard in everything I do,” Plascencia said.

He fits the term “student athlete” perfectly, saying ac-tually enjoys hitting the books just as much as he does hitting homeruns. Going to school and attending all his

classes brings Plascvencia a sense of being complete. “Hopefully it is baseball. If not I want to keep the

studying in my life. I don’t know what I would do without school,” Plascencia commented.

The pitcher is currently majoring in kinesiology with hopes of graduating and working in the field of sports medicine.

He has interests in studying business and aspires to have something to call his own one day. But nevertheless, his passion still lies with baseball.

“My father figured when he became a father he would put his kids into things he could not do himself as a child,”Plascencia stated. He has been playing baseball since he was four years old.

Plascenia played football and did karate as a child, but right before attending high school he decided on baseball. He comes from a family of die-hard Anaheim Angel fans, so baseball was always around him growing up.

“I have two brothers. Both of them are base-ball-holics,”plascencia said. Being the middle child of his siblings, he always had someone to look up or someone looking up to him, which was a way to keep him on top of his game of life.

Women’s Pantherbasketball ends season in second round of playoffs THIAM CHEATWOOD

Women’s basketball finishes third in the Foothill Con-ference. They end their season 20-9 overall and 11-3 in conference.

These women worked hard on and off the court. After having a bye for the first round of playoffs, they lost in the second round to LA Valley by 9 points.

It was an action packed game with the Panthers coming within two several times.

Head coach Gary Plunket said, “Ashlee Harper, Alyssa Domingo, and Malika Fofona really stepped up and gave a great effort.”

With all the effort put forth the Panthers ended their year ranked 13th in state.

Their hard work has paid off. There are two Panthers that made First Team All Conference: Ashlee Harper and Malika Fofona. Bree Ball made Second Team All Confer-ence. Ashlee Harper also made Second Team All State.

“In the eight years I’ve been coaching for Chaffey, Ashlee is the first Chaffey player to make All State since 1995,” Plunket said.

She has also given her commitment to Mary University in North Dakota where she will start in the fall. Also join-ing her will be Sheyenne Williams.

Captain Malika Fofona who led the Panthers with an average of 13 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1assist and 1steal per game has several schools looking at her as well.

She has not committed to any yet she is well on her way.

Bree Ball and Ja’Lisa Gatlin have also gained the inter-est of several schools.

Captain Alyssa Domingo who contributed 9 points, 3.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds. and 2 steals per game, has schools looking at her as well.

“Although there are schools that are interested in her, Domingo may want to start focusing on her nursing career instead because there is such high demand,” Plunket said.

If she applies herself to her studies in the same way she does on the court, Domingo should have no problem achieving this goal.

As well as the Panthers did this year it is time to look to the future, and the future looks bright.

They have two players who sat this year and will play next year. They also have three returning players; and this is just the beginning to a great team.

According to Plunket their team is a “really talented group of guards. We definitely will have more speed and more outside shooting with more of a transition game than we did this year.”

After a time out Mt. SAC went on a 7- point run, but the Panthers did not give up. The men’s basketball team played on until the buzzer rang and the season for commu-nity college basketball was over.

While the Panthers played with intensi-ty, the trophy went to Mt. SAC at the end of the game, 102-88. The Chaffey Hustlin’ Panthers were No. 2 in the state.

“When we came out in the second half, we didn’t let the lead get to us,” D’on Hall, shooting guard said. “We just ame out there like fire. We played our hearts out.”

The Panthers and Mt. SAC made col-lege basketball history by scoring a com-bined total of 190 points, the most points scored in a community college final bas-ketball game. The previous high score was Bakersfield versus City College of San Francisco in 1978, 100-85.

This is the first championship appear-ance for the Chaffey basketball program since the 1993-’94 season, when they also lost in the finals..

Klein and his Hustlin’ Panthers walked away from the championship game with an all-tournament honors for sophomores Long and Nitz.

Klein was named the Southern Region Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year. The Panthers finished the season 27-7 overall.

The amazing season began by winning the Fullerton tournament. The basketball team enjoyed success with only four losses before they faced a conference opponent. They clinched the Foothill Conference title against Victor Valley on Feb. 25, and Klein was named Foothill Conference Coach of the Year.

“I’m proud of our guys,” he said. “This was a great accomplishment and a great season.”

Panthers Unite to support undocumented students CHRIS JOHNSON

“No papers! No fear!” is what students chanted while waiving signs each with their own message in support of undocu-mented students Wednesday April 3rd.

The quad was filled with both undocu-mented and documented students who are

proud to show support for one another. Stu-dents from all corners of the world attend Chaffey College and besides the distance there are many obstacles for them while pursuing a higher education.

For some undocumented students it is a very difficult transition to attend an Amer-ican college, often separated from their

family and thousands of miles from home these students can feel very alone and in-secure. This event was held to show un-documented students that they are far from alone.

“This event has helped me meet people in situations similar to mine. So far my struggles here are just trying to afford col-lege,” Salvador Espinoza, mechanical en-gineering major, said.

“When I first started college, I was only doing part time so that set me back a few years but. I just kept trying and trying now, I’m almost done.. For the time I’ve been here I’ve accomplished several things, right now I’m president of the engineer-ing club and I’m also currently running for ASSC senator.”

No clubs on campus were responsible for this event--it was solely organized by undocumented students on campus. These remarkable students who have met through their journey at Chaffey have united to share with the entire campus their dreams and stories.

These students efforts were led by a young lady named Maria Varagon, com-munications major, who is also a proud un-documented student on campus.

“I organized this event to bring aware-

ness to the school and let them know that undocumented students do exist,” Varagon said. “As an undocumented student myself my experience here at Chaffey has been great. I have met wonderful professors that do things like letting me know about schol-arships and just always being supportive because I’m one of the few students who has the guts to reach out to the professors and tell them my story.”

Professors are a crucial resource here for undocumented students who can’t find much help for people in these situations anywhere else.

Students who have reached out to their professors are realizing that staff here at Chaffey doesn’t really care where students have came from and are here to help get students where they are going.

Some undocumented students think there should be more programs to help them though there college life.

“At first there wasn’t much support throughout the four years” Andrea Ortiz, landscape architecture major, said. “There isn’t a specific guidance counselor for AB 540 students which is difficult because we have to find our own way and resources.” she said.”It would be very helpful for fu-ture AB 540 students to have someone to guide them.As for me I’m graduating this semester with honors and I want to wish future undocumented students the best.”

AB 540 is a California state law that allows qualified undocumented student to pay in-state tuition, instead of out-of-state tuition at California’s public higher educa-tion institutions.

This law helps many students across California be able to continue their educa-tion.

These students are now letting the world know nothing will hold them back from achieving their dreams.

RAUL RODRIGUEZLinely Fabian, Criminal Justice major, marches alongside her friends and peers as she promotes the message of social change towards the stigmas and injustices associated with being an undocumented student.

Hurton uses Gutenberg press, shares art at InvitationalJANET TRENIER

The Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art celebrates Spring with the 36th Annual Student Invitational and Family Day at the Wig!

Through a discerning eye various ele-ments of art can be seen and interpreted in every facet of life.

A selected group of Chaffey student art-ists will present their creative gems to the public at the Student Invitational.

On April 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art will celebrate “Family Day at the Wig!” The Student Invitational begins the follow-ing day, April 15 and runs to May 16.

“I have been an artist my whole life,” Bob Hurton, art history major and student invitational participant said. “I’d just been denying it.”

“We are bringing art making into a pub-lic space,” Hurton said of the Student In-vitational.

Working mainly in the art of printmak-ing, his work involves carving and creat-ing art on blocks of either wood or artist grade linoleum, laying them on the bed of his “Gutenberg” press, inking and pressing the block against paper or other materials to get his images.

This device originated in 1440, when Johannes Gutenberg invented the machine that greatly altered the history of printmak-ing.

Hurton actually built his own press by hand after researching how to build it on the internet.

He will create a large collaborative group activity art project at the Chaffey’s Family Day at the Wig event on April 14.

Hurton will create an artistic interpreta-tion of a community map.

The map will be an artistic metaphor giving individuals the opportunity to ex-press “where they are now and/or where they want to be,” Hurton said.

“I am going to have 14 feet of linoleum and have people create maps of anything that represents them,” Hurton said. “I will draw an outline of the 210 Freeway and in-terchanges on the linoleum.”

Hurton will invite anyone attending the Family Day on April 14. to add their creations to this community art piece and incorporate their own creative representa-tions of their lives on parts of the map.

“Anyone can participate,” Hurton said. “We are all artists. I am trying to decon-struct where I can go in the future.”

Once the map piece is completed, Hur-ton will install it in the Wignall as part of his collection for the Student Invitational.

Hurton is just one of the students that have been chosen to participate in the Stu-dent Invitational Exhibition. All of the cho-sen students have worked collaboratively with specific faculty, museum curators and other affiliated artists.

The students have created a series of

pieces that will culminate in a presentation of their work at this group exhibition.

The 2013 complete list of featured art-ists are; Emily Burns, Cindy Dillingham, Karissa Ford, Timothy Haerens, Brittanny Hennon, Bob Hurton, Dolce Soledad Ibar-ra, Russell Kuch, Robert Tidwell, Ryan Timblin, Luis Valencia and Laura Wilde.

Family Day at The Wig! is April 14. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Student Invitational exhibition and reception is free and open to the public.

The Student Invitational artist reception will take place on April 17 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The Panel Discussion with the artists will be held on April 23 at 5pm.

For more information, contact the Wig-nall at (909) 652-6490.

DANNA FAKHOURYMembers of the Panther community,

faculty, staff, students and alumni alike came together on April 4 to recognize the accomplishments of former students, ath-letes and those that provided service to Chaffey's athletic program at the annual Alumni of the Year and Athletic Hall of Fame dinner.

Weaving together parallels of the past and present, all the honorees spoke fondly of their time at Chaffey College and of the great values and skills the Panther com-munity helped instill in them for years to come.

The recipients of this year's awards were humbled by the honor bestowed upon them and expressed gratitude for the col-lege's service and 130 years of existence.

“We have an outstanding faculty and staff and of course producing such leaders is critical for us and our success,” Dr. Hen-ry Shannon, president of Chaffey College, said.

The Alumni of the Year award seeks to recognize alumni for their service to the community and for serving as a representa-tive of the world-class education provided at Chaffey.

The recipients of this year’s Alumni of the Year award were: Dr. Bill Behrens, retired assistant superintendent of Human Resources Development of the Temecula Valley Unified School District; Michelle DeMott, vice president of Branding and Knowledge Management at Fairplex; and Gregg Owens, technical writing trainer in the Avionics Department at SpaceX.

Behrens reflected upon an Albert Ein-stein quote he used in his doctoral disserta-tion and commented on how it exemplified the role Chaffey played in his success.

“That Albert Einstein quote of provid-ing the conditions in which students could learn reflected what Chaffey College did for me,” he said. “They provided the con-ditions in which I could learn to go on.”

The lessons learned during college are not always realized immediately. Honor-ee DeMott spoke of the importance of her personal journey.

“I learned that education comes with the process, not the final grade,” she said. “It's the journey that we equip ourselves for a greater purpose and our final destination.”

Chaffey promotes the passions of stu-dents within its diverse community.

Owens expressed the need to do what

you love so that you never work a day in your life.

“Find your passion,” he said. “Work out of personal accomplishment and satisfac-tion rather than just chasing a dollar.”

Owens emphasized the need to finish school despite the obstacles a student may face in life.

“Finish school even if your plans change,” he said. “It shows employers your dedication and ability to finish tasks.”

The Athletic Hall of Fame award honors both individuals who have participated in athletics and those who have provided ser-vice to the program.

This year's inductees to the Athletic Hall of Fame were: Nick Davila, Panther football player 2001-2004; Lloyd Hunter, an athletic trainer from 1969-1985; and the Chaffey basketball team of 1993-1994 led by coach George Tarkanian.

The 1993-1994 team went undefeated for 30 straight games and was the second team to advance to the state championships since the college first opened in 1883.

The team also set a record at all levels when they scored 98 points in the first half of their game against Mt. San Jacinto.

The current Chaffey Hustlin' Pan-

thers basketball team, under the direction of head coach Jeff Klein, received great recognition from the 1993-1994 team for making it to the state championship and fighting a good fight.

“On behalf of the entire 1993-1994 team, we are very proud of the current Chaffey Panthers,” Tarkanian said, “I can't help but smile at the irony.”

Nick Nazarian, director of Alumni Re-lations, commented on the strength of the Panther community and how Chaffey will always be home to many.

“You can go anywhere but so many come back to serve in the community,” Nazarian said. “Chaffey College focuses on dedication to world-class education,” he said.

The night celebrated accomplishments of the past and present and proved that as a Chaffey student one can achieve greatness.

“Tonight we have proof that a Chaffey education not only makes dreams come true,” Dr. Cid Pinedo, associate superin-tendent of business services and economic development, said, when looking at recip-ient Owens. “It helps you go beyond your dreams and into outer space.”

130 years of excellence

CARLY OWENSRed canopies abounded in the Quad and along the promenade in celebration

of Chaffey’s 130 years during the first of three commemorative events. Many community members came to the event on March 9, along with alum-

ni and current students. The event was hosted by the Marketing Department and the Alumni Association, and had much club involvement which helped to show the community how many programs Chaffey offers to its students.

“This is the place where things happen,” Dr. Henry Shannon, President of Chaffey College, said. “We’re here to help you achieve your dreams.”

Many students involved in various presentations, exemplifying how Chaf-fey empowers them to pursue dreams.

During the 130th Ceremony, many dignitaries were present and gave speeches encouraging current students, and sharing how Chaffey impacted their own lives.

Dennis Michael, mayor of Rancho Cucamonga, presented Chaffey with a framed proclamation.

“I can’t thank you enough for your vision,” he said. Then on a lighter note, he thanked all Chaffey students for eating and shopping in Rancho Cucamon-ga, bringing much revenue to the city.

Various members of the governing board also spoke, reminiscent of their own days spent at Chaffey, and the various influences those days had on their life.

Both current students and alumni enjoyed the event, the first of three to celebrate Chaffey’s rich history. The next event will be held on April 13 at the Chino campus.

Arts & Entertainment | 11thebreezeonline.com | April 8, 2013 Hair lets loose with groovy fun!

HANAJUN CHUNG

*Review based on April 3, 2013 perfor-mance.

Keeping with the spirit of the charac-ters, Kelly Ford’s adaptation of Hair was free-spirited and mostly a fun time for ev-eryone present that night.

Based on the book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, it follows the American counter-culture youth of the Vietnam-Era 1960’s called “The Tribe,” focusing on the character Claude and his struggle with either joining or avoiding the Vietnam war draft.

The opening night show felt streamlined in mainly delivering the musical numbers, letting the plot slowly seep through each song, becoming more about the story to-wards the second act. The show opened with a moment with the protagonist Claude

that was dark and brooding, suggesting that the show will focus primarily on his character’s conflict. It didn’t seem that way for a while, but it cleverly goes back to that opening, adding some depth via bookend to a comedy that was already winning its audience by each passing number.

The comedy was constant, performing at a pace that’s slightly faster than some-thing like Annie or Rent. It was jarring at first, but the performers do a fantastic job in their united song and dance that I fol-lowed it without a problem. The quieter moments also small break for everyone onstage didn’t kill the pacing because it contained as much comedy as the musical numbers themselves.

The talent involved both onstage and backstage really brought a level of sat-ire to the show. The actors and actresses were directed to play their characters, but

were also made to interpret and paro-dy the people that would normally mock their drug-fueled and sexualized lifestyle. It hardly got too serious, and it benefited from it. Backstage, the lighting was subtle in all the best ways, while the set was min-imal and efficient, being half their “home” and half their view of “America.”

There were some elements of the show that didn’t work as well as they should. One was the sound. The numbers in unison went off without any problem, but many solos and dialogue exchanges were either too soft or the sound design was unbal-anced.

Another problem with the show was that it didn’t quite succeed in its interactivity. Audience members were hesitant to dance along when chosen, and things seemed uncomfortable on their end, but a part of me wants to think that it was intentional. But, the clever transition into intermission involving the police officers and the audi-ence was a definite highlight, a moment in which the interaction truly worked.

Either way, Hair left me laughing. Whether it was the character Berger’s MC-like antics, or the one-liners shouted by a supporting cast, Ford’s production kept everyone cracking-up throughout. Its self-aware, fourth-wall-shattering presentation fitted with everything that Hair had to offer that night, inviting everyone to a time and place in which certain audience members would either be too young to know or old enough to have forgotten.

They say that if you remember the 60’s, then you weren’t really there. Luckily for Chaffey Colleges Spring 2013 production of Hair, it won’t be a show that I and many others probably won’t be forgetting any-time soon.

William Robles, student, actorrememberedfondlyCARLY OWENS

In the midst of rehearsals for Hair, the spring 2013 Mainstage Production, actors try to prepare for the unexpected, but some things come as total shocks.

This was the case when William Ro-bles, theatre arts major and cast as Mar-garet Mede, died of a seizure on March 14.

Robles was loved by many in the theatre department and left a great im-pression on many, including Jonathan Ausubel, English professor, who was sharing the role of Margaret Mede with Robles.

“He was sweet and gentle, and dedi-cated to the show,” Ausubel said. “I was struck at how gently he offered criticism and how encouraging he was about each actor finding his or her own way to make the show work.”

The William Robles Scholarship has been set up through the Chaffey College Foundation, and the funds in it will go directly to help theatre students.

Kelly Ford, director of Hair, dedicat-ed the shoe in memory of Robles.

“He is the spirit and definition of Hair,” Ford said. “Hair is about humani-ty, love and kindness.”

To mame a donation to the William Robles Memorial scholarship, send checks to the Chaffey College Foun-dation, with “William Robles Scholar-ship” in the notation.

Coffee Night invites free expression, interactionCARLY OWENS

What started out as a vision to grow the student life on campus by offering free pastries and coffee, has grown into a much bigger event.

The event on March 28 drew large crowds, as not only were pastries offered but a few clubs were present, and the (un)titled club hosted an open mic night, that was open to anyone.

“Last year it just happened, unplanned,” Rocio Medina, secretary of (un)titled, said. “This year, people started networking on social media. There are even people from other schools here.”

Presentations were well received by the audience. Soheila Amin and Salvador Es-pinoza’s presentation was performance art, where the audience got to experience their art as it happened.

“Usually, no one gets to see how it [art] works, like what the process is,” Amin said. “We wanted to share it.”

Other artists performed poems, and music as well. When Gina Duran-Salazar,

performed her moving poem, “To Think,” members of the audience were moved to tears.

For many participants, it was their first time performing.

“It was my first time emceeing, but it was a blast,” Medina said. “This is my last semester at Chaffey and it is my hope that my club, (u)ntitled, will carry on this tradi-tion in the semesters to come.”

Jen Neives, commissioner of inter club council, is thrilled with the growth of the event. The vision was to invite the clubs so that they could promote themselves, and promote membership of the clubs, and now that is beginning to happen.

“Initially, at Coffee Night, people would come, get their coffee, and go. There was staying, there was no culture,” she said. “Now there’s this culture of I’m going to stay around and meet you. It’s really taking on it’s own life.”

The next Coffee Night will be held on the Chino campus on April 11, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

SARAH SANDOVAL

Among the hustle and bustle of Down-town Disney on a busy Friday night, tour-ists were oblivious to the accomplishments being celebrated by two Chaffey students.

Jimmy Purcell and Daniel Whitfield, both art majors, were celebrating the re-lease of the first volume of Forbidden Tales, a three-part anthology book pub-lished by The Forbidden Panel that their work is featured in, at the Naples Ristoran-te e Pizzeria.

The entire group was in high spirits, and the camaraderie among colleagues was easily felt.

The books were sold at this year’s Won-derCon at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Whitfield was the artist and writer of “The Woods,” which is the first to a two-part book.

The Woods involves a child getting lost, and although his book is for anyone, its main elements are magic and horror.

Whitfield developed the story after coming up with 20 different ideas within

15 minutes. After conversing with friends, he narrowed them down and ultimately set-tled on one.

“It’s always hard to choose one, because I elaborated on 10 then I have to choose one and completely discard the rest of them,” Whitfield said.

He met the publishing company Forbid-den Panel at 24-Hour Comic Book Day, an event that usually takes place in October. Artists draw for 24 hours and make one is-sue that consists of 24 pages.

Whitfield is now under contract with Forbidden Panel.

“Writing and drawing sounds fun, how-ever, a lot of time and effort is devoted to making just one issue,” Whitfield said.

“I think each issue is at least 200 hours for me, because the writing takes at least a couple hours and there’s revising and all of that,” he said. “But then there’s thumb-nails, pencils, inks and — if you’re doing color — color.”

Then the artist puts in another 10 or so hours per page using Photoshop.

“When I did Forbidden Tales I worked on it for two weeks, 14 hour days,” Whit-field said.

Purcell also met the staff of Forbidden Panel at the 24-Hour Comic Book Day.

He developed a friendship with them, and although he is freelance, also signed a contract to make Forbidden Tales.

Purcell had always been a fan of horror films but his comics, Been Better, are all comedy.

His inspiration came from Alfred Hitch-cock, who believed that the most vulnera-ble place was the bathroom.

“Everyone’s toilet, at some point or an-other, makes a sound without flushing,” he said.

Purcell decided that his comic would explain what was really happening in the bathroom, but instead of expected realistic explanations, he used hidden demons in the bathroom.

In his comic, he did not want to use anyone close to him as an inspiration, but sometimes it happens unintentionally.

“Every time I look at the old man, I see my grandpa,” he said.

Comic book pages are normally 17-by-11-inches. He draws the scene, scans it in and then edits it in Photoshop before deliv-ering it to the publisher.

Purcell was excited that he had the op-portunity to make Forbidden Tales and sell them at WonderCon.

“Any type of comic book convention is so stressful,” he said. “We’re [the small guys] are not going to get any sleep. I’m not going to eat well. I’m going to lose lots of money. But I do it every year.”

When students attend WonderCon it’s fun and easy, for those not behind a booth or promoting and selling their comic.

Purcell has learned a lot about selling from a booth, and gave some tips.

“If you’re working the booth, stand up, engage people, don’t fold your arms, and start a conversation that people don’t know how to get out of,” Purcell said. “Another way I try to get people to my booth is just by commenting on their superhero cos-tume. I talk about their enemy.”

A lot of time was devoted to the making of Forbidden Tales, and although Purcell is still attending school this experience of getting published made him realize that grades are just as important as networking.

HANAJUN CHUNG

When a motion picture is delayed from its original release date, it usually stems from something troubling. Originally slat-ed for a 2012 summer release, G.I. Joe: Re-taliation fi nds itself fi nally being released in March 2013.

It’s defi nitely better than the fi rst, but it’s still quite mediocre.

Based on the famous action fi gures by Hasbro, Retaliation picks up right after the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, placing the villains as the head of the United States, while our heroes are on the run after much of their unit is terminated by their own govern-ment.

This time around, our main “Joes” Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki), Flint (D.J. Cotrona), and fan-favorite Snake Eyes (Ray Park) must band together and take back the White House from Cobra’s menacing presence.

The plot is barebones for good reason. Being that this is mainly going to target children, it helps that all the political in-trigue and back-room dealings are avoid-ed for a straighton “good” vs “bad” type of story. It’s so barebones that anyone over the age of 16 would probably roll their eyes during the fi lm’s “serious” moments.

But the true seller of the fi lm is action, and it doesn’t fail to deliver. This isn’t like the fi rst installment, which introduced in-credibly farfetched technology and ideas that really seem like something from a toy line. While some of that is still here, the ac-tion this time around is meant to deliver on scope and scale through what each Joe can contribute to their mission. One set-piece

in particular involving a ninja battle on snowcapped mountains is thrilling and fun.

While it does have great moments, Re-taliation as a narrative feels like it’s from a cartoon (not quite the mid-80’s series).

Don’t get me wrong, there have been some great cartoons in the past, but this isn’t it. The dialogue is corny, character motivations are mostly shallow, and the emotional moments aren’t effective as intended. Director Jon Chu (Step Up 2, Step Up 3D) makes a great transition from shooting dance to action, proving that cho-reography is something that truly matters in both genres. But fi lms also need a great narrative that makes such scenes work as whole.

Depending on how well this performs in the oncoming weeks will determine whether or not another sequel will happen. G.I. Joe: Retaliation shows improvement, but not by much. They defi nitely haven’t missed the mark in reviving this franchise from obscurity, but the 30-year wait does backfi re if they’re trying to reach original fans while attracting a new generation.

It’s pretty much Transformers all over again.

The Good: Fun action. Ninjas.

The Bad: Plotting, Story, and everything in between needed to connect the set pieces.

The Weird: The strongest rumor of its delay stems from featuring more of actor Channing Tatum’s character. Prepare to be disappointed.

Viva La Vegan: Vegans coming out of veggie closet at Rancho eateryJANET TRENIER

Vegan Cornucopia!Although this tastologist is not a vegan,

I do enjoy a deliciously crunchy Ceaser salad or some rosemary, garlic new pota-toes roasted in olive oil, along with many other scrumptuous veggie options as an ac-companiment to a meal.

With thousands of diets and alternative eating plans, vegans keep it simple.

Essentially they eat everything that is a non-animal product.

I have recently encountered more and more individuals that are becoming vegan or have been so for several years.

In my pursuit of all varieties of deli-ciousness to satisfy the discriminating taste of Chaffey’s diverse student body, I ven-tured out to Viva La Vegan Grocery store in Rancho Cucamonga. In addition to gro-ceries, nutritional and health care products, they have an adjoining cafe that serves many different and creative vegan culinary creations.

“You want vegan, come in here you don’t have to worry about checking a la-bel,” Natalie Mullis, Chaffey student art major and cafe employee at Viva La Vegan Cafe, said. “At the cafe we make soy and wheat products that replace chicken, fi sh, and even chorizo. This building was origi-nally a packing house for oranges,” Mullis said

Their store website lists their products

as 100% vegan.“All vegetables are organic, made in or-

ganic soul, meaning the mother seed hasn’t been touched by any animal matter in two generations” Mullis said

With many students looking for health-ier options, including organic, vegan, or gluten-free products, this store offers just about every type of product imaginable.

They also have several gardens sur-rounding the market. where organic vege-tables and herbs are grown.

While visiting Mullis at the store, I tried my fi rst piece of vegan meat a product, non-meat-meat, was actually quite tasty.

People who suffer from allergies can also fi nd many benefi ts in a vegan diet especially if someone is trying to avoid gluten products. There is a wide variety of choices available in the world of the vegan lifestyle.

Although the cafe was closed on the day of my visit, I perused the menu which offered many interesting items, including vegan macaroni and cheese and even veg-an sushi.

I’ll try anything once. Why not. This tastologist is heading to Sunday

brunch in the next few weeks at the cafe and report back to my readers.

Viva La Vegan is located at 9456 Roberds St., Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91701. The cafe is open on Tuesday,Thurs-day, Friday, Saturday. and serves brunch on Sunday.

JANET TRENIERViva La Vegan in Rancho Cucamonga has a large selection of organic vegetables to choose from. The cornucopia of choices gives their customers man, options for creating complete vegan meals.

Driven, determined 60 East en route to success

MARK KLOPPING

A big stage and an even bigger dream collide when rapper 60 East with record label First Dirt hit the Paid Dues stage on March 30th which was sponsored by Hip Hop artist Murs and Guerrilla Union.

Dreams of succeeding and getting his voice heard are goals that business market-ing and communication major Joey Atila-no, also known as the rapper 60 East, have had on his to do list.

With opportunities not guaranteed in the Hip Hop community, campaigning for a spot at a well known festival like Paid Dues has been a test of drive and popular-ity.

This idea of campaigning has been brought to light by Inland Empire emcee/poet MC Prototype and his team who has been a huge part of the local Hip Hop and SLAM poetry community.

“I didn’t come up with the idea to cam-paign for Paid Dues alone. I credit my team, who at the time consisted of members of The Noise Academy, Original Knockoff, my wife and my street team,” MC Proto-

type said. “We had a lot of meetings at a round table, bouncing ideas back and forth staying committed to one thing, proving I deserved a spot at the largest independent hip hop festival in the world.”

The work of following in MC Proto-type’s footsteps for 60 East to perform on the Paid Dues stage has taken more than just a thought but a drive.

“I know Prototype personally and see-ing that, that’s really what inspired me,” 60 East said. “If he can get on like that, then I can possibly do the same.”

With that type of drive 60 East has a plan for success.

“I want to get a degree for myself and for my mom’s sake,” 60 East said. “But the reason I come to school is to get better at doing music. I’m a business marketing ma-jor because I wanted to be able to market myself as an artist and market my business and how to sell myself. I became a commu-nication major because I want to become a better communicator, taking public speak-ing classes to become a better performer.”

The plan is set and the dream is alive. The message he tries to get out comes to

life in what he gives to his listeners.

“I want to inspire people and motivate people,” 60 East said. “I involve a lot of my personal life, and I’ve got a lot of feed- back from people, especial-ly about the campaign about how we inspire them and motivate them to follow their dreams and that’s what I want to contin-ue to do.”

MC Prototype sees what he and his team innovated and is proud how he can in-spire some people and spark ideas that give people a chance to do something most never thought was possible.

“After making Paid Dues, it felt good to see fellow artists follow suit. I was proud to see artists like Noa James, Curtiss King, Stevie Crooks, and First Dirt successfully campaign for their spots on recent Paid Dues bills,” he said.

While working on inspiring people, 60 East takes his inspiration from what he sees everyday. When asked what inspire him he answers quickly.

“Life, like I’m a real deep, personal, passionate dude,” 60 East said. “Like, I in-volve a lot of my personal experiences peo-ple always tell me. Some people don’t like it, but other people praise me for it because they never heard someone be so open with such negative experiences. It kind of feels sometimes like I’m putting myself on blast but as an artist I feel that you gotta be open with yourself to your audience like that for them to really connect with you.”

When thinking of what he has sparked, MC Prototype said, “Every year since my campaign, there has been a multitude of artists rallying up their troops to fi ght for a spot on the Paid Dues lineup, thus spread-ing the word about the festival, sometimes

long before Murs and Guerilla Union start advertising it.”

Before Murs and Guerilla Union who are the founders of the paid dues festival even had a thought about the line up for the 2013 Paid Dues bill, 60 East and First Dirt started their campaign.

“We started our campaign at South by South West (SXSW) in Austin, Texas March 17th of last year,” 60 East said. “We campaigned for a whole year which is the longest campaign yet.”

With respects to what MC Prototype has done, he has taken his dream and brought it to reality. Working hard has gotten him on a well-respected lineup of artists that have paid their dues in the hip hop community just like he did with his campaigning.

“I never really expected to come as far as I have, but now I want to see how far I can go,” he said.

60 East information can be found on his Facebook page facebook.com/east60 which shows info on his campaign and also pictures of his well deserved perfor-mance with label mates from First Dirt. They currently are working on a campaign for the latest Guerrilla Union show, Rock The Bells.

Life after Chaffey Students mull transfer optionsELAINE DELEON 

Acceptance letters are flying in as stu-dents head toward the final weeks of the semester.

As college feedback comes in, transfer-ring students can now see the results of the application process that began last fall.

While many go through the process on their own, the Transfer Center provides guidance for hundreds of students each year.

“At the Transfer Center they helped me set up meetings with counselors and set up workshops for applying as well as work-shops for what’s next,” Paulette Villa said.

Between organizing transfer fairs, set-ting up meetings with college representa-tives and giving campus tours, the Transfer Center staff keep busy offering students direction about the best colleges available.

“We try to maintain a lot of information so students can make an informed decision while needing a little assistance for what’s best for their major — to identify the col-leges that best fit them,” Jenny Dannelley, director of the Transfer Center and Interna-

tional Students, said. For some, multiple acceptance letters

mean decisions are still to be made. The Transfer Center is ready with advice for any situation.

“For fall 2014, I’m planning to go to Cal State San Bernardino since it fits bet-ter with my major,” Paola Escobar, com-munications major, said. “At Chaffey, I’m planning to speak to financial aid to help me pay for it.”

The questions the center helps with include how far students want to travel, how much money the school is offering in scholarships/grants, and how comfortable the student feels at the college.

As for students who were not as for-tunate and didn’t receive any acceptance letters, the center recommends students to identify the next time frame to apply.

During this time the students can look over any courses they may have missed and/or add units that may help with their transfer status.

Tattoos: every body tells unique story

ANNALEY BARRIENTOS

In the past, if you had a tattoo, that meant that person was someone who looked for trouble. One doesn’t have to be looked on as a gang member in today’s so-ciety to have a tattoo. Although many stu-dents have tattoos, there are still those who don’t have any and plan to keep it that way.

Julia Jianu, bio chemistry major, want-ed to get tattoos in the past. Today she is happy to be ink free even though many of her friends have them.

“I think tattoos are a nice way for peo-ple to express themselves. Personally I wouldn’t get one because it’s a permanent decision,” she said. “In my past I used to want them, but now I appreciate the fact that I never got any because I think about my wedding. I just wouldn’t want to have any tattoos.”

Although Jianu can’t imagine getting a tattoo in her future, she recalls how in her past she wanted to follow her friends trend.

“In high school I wanted some tattoos and wanted to jump on the bandwagon be-

cause all of my friends had them and could tattoo people,” she said.

Mirian Tenrio, criminal justice major, also knows how to deal with pressure from others when it comes to tattoos.

“I think there is pressure to have tattoos, because most of my friends have them. I decided not to get any because of my ca-reer,” she said.

Her parents also have an influence on her decision in keeping her body tattoo free.

“My parents don’t like tattoos. They’d rather me get a piercing. Pierce anything instead of getting a tattoo,” she said.

Patricia Henry, psychology major, doesn’t have any tattoos, but it’s not by choice.

“I don’t have any tattoos, but I like them. I want one but can’t get any yet be-cause my mom hates them. She tries to make me promise her that I will never get any but I can’t promise her that, because one day I will,” Henry said.

Before getting a tattoo drawn up, many people have ideas of what they want and

the meaning towards it. Stephanie Go-mez, psychology major, thinks that tattoos should have meaning towards them since, they will be permanent.

“I don’t have any but I want some. I would want to get my moms name on my wrist because she has really impacted my life in many good ways and has protected me from a lot of things,” Gomez said. “I would want to get her name and favorite flower on me because if something was to happen to her I would still have a part of her with me.”

Jessica Cardona, communications ma-

jor, is one of the many who have one. In her case, she has three, one on the back of her neck, inner arm and ankle. Tattoos are painful, but the meaning towards them make the pain worth while.

“The one on my neck is my parents’ nicknames. My husband and I have match-ing tattoos, and it’s a Johnny Cash verse from our favorite song,” Cardona said.

Cardona doesn’t regret any of her tat-toos; and doesn’t plan to get anymore. However, she said that also after she got her first one she became aware of the possi-ble addiction that comes with tattoos.

MARK KLOPPINGChaffey students unashamedly show off their tattoos sharing information about their meanings and origin. (Left to right) Patrick Shanklin, mathematics major, has several tattoos, One of the most prominent being a tribal tattoo in acknowledgment of his Hawaiian heritage. Jesse Jinco, psychology major, shows his Virgin Mary/ Day of the Dead collaboration peice. Jinko notes the purpose behind the tattoo is protection. Kima Visor, psychology major, displays a lion piece trailing down her upper arm. Tiffany De Lallata, music major, poses with more than a dozen separate pieces all varying from Disney characters to traditional henna techniques. Lastly, Damien Torres, music major comments the purpose of his tattoos are “to express yourself without worry.”

Chaffey College as an institution came into existence 130 years ago. Since its founding, the college has cemented its philosophy of enriching the lives of those within its diverse communities by means of quality education and valued student success.

With a growing population, Chaffey College has expanded its academic institu-tion, currently operating locations in Fon-tana and most recently, Chino.

In January of 2000, the Chaffey College Chino Center opened in downtown Chi-no marking the beginning of a long-term partnership between the city of Chino and Chaffey College.

A General Obligation Bond (Measure L) was passed on March 5, 2002, providing the college with $230 million that would be used toward the expansion and devel-opment of its Chino campus and other fa-cilities.

Chaffey College Chino Information Technology Center opened in May of 2002 and was later renamed the Robert Pile Chaffey College Chino Information Tech-nology Center in 2004.

It serves as the fi rst community college facility in the state of California dedicated entirely to computer technology education.

The center was a $4.5 million project that spanned 21,000 square feet composed of state of the art equipment. The program consists of computer systems, computer user applications, industry certifi cation preparation and telecommunications.

In March 2005, college offi cials re-ceived the deed to 100 acres of land from

the State of California. This land was do-nated at no cost to the college and would be the future home of the Chino Campus.

Construction of the campus’ Main In-structional Building was completed in March 2008.

The estimated cost of construction was $8 million. San Bernardino County Fourth District Supervisor Gary Ovitt pushed for $4 million from the tobacco tax to be used toward the construction of the main build-ing.

On March 24, 2008 students attend-ed classes at the new Chino Campus. An estimated 1,700 students attended classed during the fi rst week of instruction.

The offi cial dedication of the Chaffey College Chino Campus took place on May 30, 2008.

The main Instructional Building is a 55,000 square foot building that hosts 16 classrooms, biology, chemistry, human anatomy, physiology, business, and com-puter laboratories. There is an additional large lecture room, library and two success centers.

On Oct. 22, 2009, the Chaffey College Community Center and Health Science Center were dedicated.

The community center currently holds a banquet hall that seats up to 350 individu-als and may host a variety of events.

Chaffey College plans to expand its Chino Campus over a 60-year period with hopes of accommodating 15,000 students on its 100-acre property.

The Chaffey community invites every-one to join in the celebration of 130 years of excellence on Saturday, April 13, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Chino Campus.

130th Celebration: Chino Campus
