“When I started this series I had no intention of showing it whatsoever,” said Geni Genis, one of the eight artists exhib-iting at the Wignall Museum of Contem-porary Arts’ When I’m 64 exhibit as she pointed to The Pack Rat, her favorite shot of her series.

The photo depicts a nameless gray-haired man surrounded by the boxes, pa-pers, chaos, and clutter associated with hoarding.

“I was doing it as a personal therapeu-tic thing because I was taking care of my mother who has dementia,” she said. “My only kind of respite was waiting till she went to sleep and taking walks at night. So when I started seeing inside these windows

and the loneliness, I got really compelled to photograph it. The fi rst night I decided to give it a go. The very fi rst shot I got was that.”

Genis’ series was captured by uncon-ventional means. Nights fi lled with hiding in bushes, being chased by a coyote, and nearly being arrested twice, play into this unconventionality.

The concept of thinking and acting out of the norm is freely exposed at the current exhibit. The importance and emphasis of the overlooked world of aging in America is the underlying necessity.

“This exhibit really depicts the positive aspects of aging, as well as the challeng-es,” explained Katherine Bacus, event co-ordinator and gerontology professor.

“Years ago, I had a folder of ideas set

up for exhibit ideas that were brewing and topics that I felt needed some attention. Among them was the idea of aging and the process involved, not only the chal-lenges, but the beauty of it,” event curator and Wignall Museum Director, Rebecca Trawick, said.

“Around this same time, gerontology professor Katherine Baucus was a new teacher here and actually approached me about an event focusing on aging,” Trawick said. “Right then, a lightbulb went off and I just had to put this in motion.”

Gathering artistis of various mediums, varying ages, and differentiating messages, the exhibit shines a much needed spotlight on aging issues and how we as a culture perceive them.

“Sorting through possible artists to ex-

hibit was a diffi cult process. Katherine and I worked closely looking at art trying to fi nd pieces that would get conversations started among people and get them to think about the aging process in a different way,” Trawick said as she gave a short descrip-tion on the art selection method.

When I’m 64’s opening reception had no shortage of conversation starters. Talks of admiration for the tones and composi-tion of Jessica Ingram’s Grandma’s Walk to Church and Troy Aossey’s Sun City Cheer-leaders were among the dialogue sparkers.

Photography Major Henry Jackson commented on the dynamics of the exhibit by pointing out that it provides a different take on aging.”

What began a year ago, thanks to the dream of campus visionaries, the Food Pantry continues to aid students in need.

“As long as the food keeps coming we will be here,” Susan Stewart, Director of Student Activities, said.

Stewart said the inspiration for the pro-gram came from Dr. Sherrie Guerrero, Vice President of Instruction with receiving contributions from the Black Faculty and Staff Association, Chaffey Association of Management Professions (CAMP), Clas-sified Senate, Faculty Senate, the Latino Faculty and Staff Association, employees, and groups.

The giving doesn’t need to stop with the employees or with the groups. It may also come from students, their friends and their families. Any and all help is appreciated.

Donated items must be new. Among the suggested items are fruit snacks, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, beans, pasta and soups. In addition to food, the pantry dis-tributes hygiene products as well.

“We’ve always had a extra bin to pick a hygiene product out of,” Stewart said. “Now the hygiene products are included.”

Interested persons who visit the Office of Student Activities can see an updated list of everything they can donate to sup-port the pantry. The best part is, it doesn’t always need to be food or hygiene prod-ucts. It can be a check made out to the Stu-dent Activities Auxiliary Foundation ac-count. Every little bit helps and will keep the project alive.

The pantry is a savior for those in need. Any student is allowed to come a get a bag. The only requirement is that student must have a current semester registration print out.

Last year the program helped 535 stu-dents.

“We try and make it as easy as possi-ble to receive the bags,” Stewart said. “We don’t think one bag of food will help you with everything, but we hope it in reinforc-es what you are doing and the importance of finishing your classes.”

CHARLES LEIGHTON

Students across campus are mourning the death of Michael Vega who suffered fatal injuries from a hit-and-run accident while riding his bicycle on Foothill boule-vard. Near Ramona Ave on Aug. 28.

The driver of the white work truck who fled the scene of the accident around 6:40 p.m. remains at large. Sgt. Greg Kreps from the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Dept. released a statement that said, “Nothing other than having a traffic accident taken is going to come of this.”

At the accident sight flowers, notes, and a large sign with Vega’s photos are re-minders of the tragic event. A group ride beginning at the site of the memorial was held Aug. 9 to raise community awareness

about Vega’s death and to promote bicycle safety.

Vega was the second victim of a hit and run cycling accident within seven miles of campus in the last two months.

Jarrod Mcdonald, business major, said, “I’ve been riding every day for the past few years, and I think this might be the wakeup call the community needs to be aware of the presence of cyclists.”

Friends, family, and the community as a whole joined together to create a huge internet response to Vega’s death. Twitter was alive with the news, and an image urg-ing anyone with information to aid law en-forcement with their search for the driver was circulated.

Brandon Boyd, lead singer of Vega’s fa-vorite band, Incubus, wore a bracelet with

“Michael Ray Vega” printed on it during their recent concert and also tweeted in support of Vega. Kim Kardashian and a number of other celebrities also tweeted to support Vega.

A blog that can be found at mikevega.blogspot.com has been set up that allows friends and relatives to post memories and photos of Vega as well as make donations. In total $2,250 had been raised as of Sept. 6.

While Rancho Cucamonga has in-creased its number of bike lanes on main thoroughfares over the past few years, cy-cling related deaths are still a reminder of the dangers of what some use as a main form of transportation.

Anyone with information about the ac-cident can call (909) 477-2800.

The story “Graceless parking” (see Sept. 4 edition of the Breeze, page 1) in-dicated that the traditional two-week grace period for parking permits at the beginning of the semester had come to an end. But campus officials have informed the Breeze that only “warnings,” not tickets, were is-sued during the first week.

The issued warnings were “to accom-modate all students who are trying to fa-miliarize themselves with the campus or make adjustments to their class schedule,” according to an official memorandum sent to all staff and faculty.

The warnings confused not only stu-dents, but even the Faculty Senate as well. It sent mixed messages that the parking permits were being enforced from day one.

“As a body, Senate recommends that the campus be consistent in both commu-nication and consequences, regardless of whether or not there is a grace period,” stated the minutes from the Faculty Senate meeting on Aug. 28.

Another surprise was the increase in

parking costs — both daily and semester permits went up. The daily permits jumped from $2 to $4. Semester permits have gone from $40 to $50.

“An increase in parking fees, the first in over 10 years, and better enforcement are reasonable and expected measures to en-sure that the college has a balanced budget for this program,” stated Lisa Bailey, Vice President of Administrative Services.

Parking revenues have gone down in recent years, thanks to programs like the OmniTrans Go Smart program, and in-creased carpooling.

The lack of advanced warning to the students was acknowledged by Bailey.

“We underestimated the extent to which students were aware of and reliant upon the College’s practice of providing a two-week courtesy parking period,” Bailey stated.

“We regret the inconvenience caused during the first few days of school and are committed to providing better communica-tion, including the use of existing technol-ogy, in the future,” she stated.

Confusion reigns over changes to grace period parking rules

Registration is a ‘major’ dealGENE SANUDO

California will soon change its registra-tion date policy for students who are cur-rently working on a degree or are planning to transfer to a four-year college. Priority registration will be given to those students who are on track.

Students that are undecided majors will get a very poor registration date.

The whole point of this policy is to give students who have a goal in their educa-tional career a better chance of succeeding quicker and moving on into the workforce of their choice.

“It is unfair. We should all be treated equally,” undecided major, Martha Sang, said. “I want my education.”

Before, students could register in any class they pleased as long as there was room on the registration list or the waiting list. This policy challenges the students

that are not sure what they really want to major in and puts pressure to really get their careers going.

Community colleges have taken a loss of more than $800 million dollars from state funding. This means less instructors and classes, which turns the two-year ex-perience into a five-year or maybe even six.

This new policy does not go into effect until 2014, but campuses will be allowed to execute the policy sooner.

Some policy critics believe classes of-fered at Chaffey College such as the guid-ance sequence are needed by some stu-dents. They are important, but not in path for a career.

“It is a great idea because it gives peo-ple who have a decided major and up-per hand over students who aren’t taking school seriously,” said photography major, Darren Lindley.

NADINE KAISSIASINATE FONUA

With its many perks and considerably generous amounts of resources, the Student Success Center is built to accommodate to the students’ needs and set students up for a successful journey through their college experience.

Already in exsistence for 10 years, the Student Success Center is a place where students can obtain supplementary knowl-edge as well as buff up their studying hab-its. Its purpose stands to provide and assist student learning allowing them to engage in a subject and achieve their academic and personal goals.

We all know classes can be challenging, so why not take advantage of the various tutoring opportunities offered through our Student Success Center, which is acces-sible in multiple cities such as our main campus library, Fontana, and even the Chi-no Campus. The Rancho Success Center has conveniently relocated to the library in room 7E.

Now you may be wondering when can a student come in to take advantage of the wonderful resources that are provided and how much is it. The Student Resource Cen-ter is available Monday through Thursday eight a.m. to eight p.m. and Fridays 10 a.m.

to two p.m.They have created a place that offers

free tutorials, workshops, learning groups, directed learning activities, and computer/resource access to assist students in their academic development and success. The one thing they do require is that students present their current Chaffey College Pho-to ID, it is used for verification for being in the Success Center. Students swipe the card for log in and log out.

Walk-ins are always welcome, or one can simply make an advanced appoint-ment, which is recommended to receive priority.

“Those who work in the success center are faculty members and tutors with bache-lor’s degrees,” Rundquist said.

He also mentioned the new success guide program which is a program that started a year ago. This program involves college success skills and is similar to the Success Center but involves more help for students who don’t understand require-ments in the classroom.

The center has a schedule that lists ev-ery subject that is available and the times students may come in to work in those cat-egories.

Students are encourged to take advan-tage of the colleges beneficial programs and resources.

JANET TRENIER

The seed of hope has been planted this fall for one student in need of a miracle.

At the age of 25, Gustavo Galicia has a weekly schedule that is challenging and arduous.

Currently enrolled at both the Rancho and Chino campuses and taking a total of 16 units, he also follows a rigorous medical schedule which includes dialysis treatment 18 hours a week.

“Gustavo’s our student,” said Susan Stewart, Director of Student Activities. “He has a great family that supports him, but it hasn’t been enough to reach his fi-nancial goal.”

Galicia has end-stage renal disease and has been on the kidney transplant wait list at Loma Linda University Medical Center for the past five years.

“In 2007, I was in the hospital for 32 days,” Galicia said. “The doctors told me I would need a transplant. I weighed 190 pounds when I went to the hospital, and I weighed 120 pounds when I came out.”

His illness may have ravaged his body, but it has not destroyed his resolve to have a better life and a future.

Recently, Loma Linda informed him that he would need to obtain a minimum of $20,000 to remain on the active transplant list.

Although he has medical insurance, many expenses are beyond the scope of his coverage. Without the amount requested, he could possibly lose his seniority on the transplant list.

”When I got sick, they told me I was gonna die,” Galicia said. “That was the worst part. Now this is just a bump in the road.”

The hard fact is that Galicia may not have another five years to live without the hope of a transplant.

Serendipitously, he has discovered sev-eral true champions for his cause.

Student Activities, ASCC and Chaffey Auxiliary Services have pledged to help Galicia on his journey of survival.

On Club Rush Day, Sept.12, ASCC President Carlos Huizar invited Galicia to join his table so that students could meet him and hear his story.

ASCC has posted information about Galicia on its web page and will collect donations during their coffee nights on all three campuses. They will match any do-nations up to $1,000 at the end of the se-mester.

“We will collect donations at all of the campus ASCC coffee nights,” Carlos said. “The week before Thanksgiving will be the last collection night.”

Additionally, Jared Ceja, Director of Auxiliary Services, has created a generous fundraising campaign.

The Bookstore and its auxiliary service

outlets on the Rancho, Fontana and Chi-no campuses will promote in-store events through Oct. 12. Customers will have an opportunity to help Galicia by purchasing “Paws for a Cause” mobiles. Anyone can donate a dollar or more, and 100 percent of the donations will go to the non-profit established for him.

“After we are done collecting the paws and when the campaign is over, we will post a list of the donors,” Ceja said. “I ap-preciate the opportunity to help with this fundraiser.”

Stewart implemented many of the key components of Galicia’s fundraising alli-ance.

“People all want to help,” she said. “When they don’t have a lot to donate,

even donating one dollar helps. It makes them feel good.”

All of the care that has been put into helping a fellow Panther has humbled him.

“I am speechless; I can’t believe it,” Galicia said.

His long term goal is to complete his degree in business administration and be-come a successful entrepreneur.

With the help of his fellow Panthers and the rally of champions around him, the hope of staying on the donor list and receiving a new kidney is closer than ever.

Donation information can be found di-rectly at: http://www.helphopelive.org/.Click “donate now,” ”donate to a patient’s campaign,” “Gustavo Galicia,” and “kid-ney.”

Paws for a good cause

Student Success Center College funding in hands of votersLUIS SUAREZ

In the 2011-2012 school year the com-munity college system suffered a $750 million cut, and the another possible cut of $338 million seems to be on the horizon if Proposition 30 does not pass.

Proposition 30 temporarily increases taxes to fund education and guarantees lo-cal public safety funding.

It calls for increasing sales tax ¼ of a cent for four years and increases person-al income tax on annual earnings over $250,000 for seven years.

Both of these conditions aim to raise $6 million in which 89% of the revenues would be allocated towards K-12 schools and 11% towards community colleges.

If Prop. 30 does pass, schools will not receive the addtional funding for 18 years.

If Prop. 30 does not pass schools will experience the cuts to funding in spring 2013.

“The bottom line is additional sessions will be cut and there will be no more sum-mer sessions,” Dr. Shannon, Superinten-dent/President, said. “The college is fund-ed by the state and when the state support goes so does the support of the budget.”

In a letter to the Editor published Sept. 2 in The Daily Bulletin, Shannon and Chaf-fey Governing Board President, Paul Go-

mez, said, “The Chaffey College budget has been cut nearly $10 million over the past four years.”

The letter went on to say, “California’s community colleges, once the envy of the country, are now heading in the wrong di-rection at the very time when higher educa-tion is most critical. The good news is that, despite these tough times, Chaffey College has remained a strong educational institu-tion.”

The Associated Students of Chaffey College decided to show support on Propo-sition 30 in order to keep their school run-ning at its full potential.

A recent poll, done by Pepperdine Uni-versity it stated that Jerry’s Brown initiative of Proposition 30 is leading 56.2-39.2% on a positive margin.

In addition to this proposition, Prop. 38 will be on the ballot which is similiar to Prop. 30 in that it looks to raise revenue for public schools.

The difference is that Prop. 38 will tax everyone, not just those that make over $250,000 a year.

If Prop. 30 and Prop. 38 pass, the one with the higher percentage of voter ap-proval will take precident and decide the budget.

Both propositions will be on the ballot in November for the voters to decide.

LORRAINE CABRERA

The new Dean of Mathematics and Sci-ence, Ted Younglove, comes from Ante-lope Valley College and has a wide range of experience that will help him succeed at Chaffey College.

For six years before coming to Chaffey, Younglove was director of research and planning and then Dean of Institutional Ef-fectiveness Research and Planning at AVC.

“Before that I was at UC Riverside for about 24 years, and that was good prepa-ration for coming here and being Dean of Math and Science,” he said.

Younglove has a Master’s degree is sta-tistics and while at UCR he worked fi rst in the Air Pollution Research Center. Later he worked at the college of engineering and then ran a statistical consulting lab.

“It was good preparation for working with the math people and the engineers and all the different science areas in the division in the school of math and science here,” he said.

The new dean also taught statistics for two years at UCR before going into insti-tutional research, but he missed working with students.

While serving as Vice President of the California Research and Planning group, the new dean met two current Chaffey staff members, Laura Hope and Jim Fillpot, who were instrumental in Younglove’s de-cision to come here.

“They do such great work on using data to help students succeed,” he said. “It’s a model for other colleges around the state.”

Younglove is enthusiastic and is ready to begin working on his goals. His No. 1 goal is to maneuver through some tough budget times while still providing access to as many students as possible. He also wants to help increase student success rates.

Younglove offered struggling students some sound advice from his early days in college.

“When I started at UCR, I took fresh-man calculus, and going into the fi nal I was getting a D,” he said. “But it fi nally start-ed making sense the last half of the term. I ended up getting a good grade in the class. I think that’s something people might not guess, but yeah, the Dean of Math and Sci-ence going into the fi nal was getting a D in calculus.”

His message to students: “Don’t lose hope. Get help and keep trying.”

For a group of students, their school mother and friend is gone.

Sherrill Stansbury died Aug. 27 at her home in Fontana after losing her battle with cancer.

Stansbury is survived by her hus-band, Edward Stansbury, and two daughters, Victoria Stansbury and Ve-ronica Toothman.

While she left behind a family, she also left behind a large group of stu-dents who will miss her.

Stansbury attended Chaffey Col-lege most of her adult life. Because of her experience and friendly, welcom-ing nature she was a mother fi gure to a group of students who fondly called her “Momma Sherrill.”

“She was a mother to us all,” said Clarence Smit. “It didn’t matter what your background was or where you came from she was a mother to all of us, and she loved us.”

On Sept. 6, Smit, a theatre major, held a memorial for Stansbury at the sport center quad.

Smit organized the event and invited more than 50 people to the memorial on an event page of Facebook.

“I wanted to have a memorial for just her family at school, since some of us won’t be able to go to the memo-rial,” Smit said. “I asked everyone to wear purple because it was her favorite color.”

Thirty students attended the memo-rial, mourning the loss of their friend and fondly remembering her — and wearing purple.

“Even though Sherrill isn’t here with us,” Smit said, “she is always in ours hearts.”

“It’s here so that the public can come in and see an actual artist working and they can ask questions,” Bob Hurton, art and education major, said.

“Taking art away from just being an ob-ject that we see in a museum and making a real life thing that somebody’s creating.”

Perma Dirty has been a special com-munity art exhibit since January early this year. At fi rst when thinking about art ex-hibits one thinks of very strict no touching rules.

This is defi nitely not the case, according to Cynde Miller, creator of Perma Dirty. This is a place where anyone can come to be an artist and to see one’s work.

The gallery’s welcoming atmosphere attracts all different age groups and all who are willing to further their education and experience with art.

Chaffey students had many positive things to say about the Claremont art gal-lery.

“It’s more than just an art gallery,” Ca-mille Alaras, health administration major, said.

Other students of Miller can agree that

this helps them gain experience and gives them an opportunity to get their work in. Aside from this, many students have gone on to say that Miller has opened them up to being more social and open to new chal-lenges.

“I think Perma Dirty makes art more accessible to people.”Perma Dirty started as a type of remem-

brance for Miller’s father to keep his leg-acy going and eventually evolved into a community experience.

Often a fan of collaborating art, she had been working side by side with a friend when others asked if they could join in. After numerous people had taken a part in this, she decided to leave the canvas out to let members of the community paint on it.

This later led to the “Community Draw, paint, sculpt” show, where anyone can go and feel like an artist, with friends, family, and people of all ages.

This show will run for three months and is something not to be missed.

When Professor Michelle Dowd and the staff of the Chaffey Review throw a party, people fl ock to join the fun.

“I did not expect this,” said Marco Nuñez, poetry major and head of poetry for the Review. “I expected either crowd-edness or not a big turnout, but it’s kind of like the right amount.”

Despite the heat and the small venue, more than 250 people turned out to cel-ebrate the release of volume 8 of the Re-view on Sept. 9 at Simplicitea in Rancho Cucamonga where 53 copies of the book were sold. There was food, beverages, live music, poetry readings and even a stand-up comedian. Dowd felt the turnout was es-pecially surprising given that the event was only marketed on Facebook and by word of mouth.

Released each spring and fall semes-ter, the Review is a literary journal. “We take contributions in art, graphic design, paintings, sketches, fi ction pieces, nonfi c-tion pieces and of course poetry,” said Cari Mak, literature major.

Everybody can be featured in the journal according to Shakisaha Harvey, liberal arts and sciences major and contributing read-er for creative nonfi ction as she explained that submissions can come from on or off campus. “Professionals, students, faculty, I

believe there is even an 11-year old child who submitted work to the volume we are working on now,” she said.

But the Review is more than just a liter-ary journal, it is a labor of love for Dowd.

“It was this little idea I had because I felt we had something missing in the arts,” Dowd said about the start of the Review in 2008. “I didn’t know how well it would do, but it has been such a success.”

Dowd set out to create a community for artists and along the way has inspired peo-ple.

“I have had students decide to come back to school after they had a submis-sion accepted because they felt there was a community here for them,” Dowd said.

As special as the Review is to Dowd, it is just as meaningful to those who have their work accepted.

“I was really excited because this was my fi rst time being featured as a writer,” said Harvey. “I’ve been featured as an art-ist in international magazines, but this was the fi rst time I was vulnerable in the sense of people getting to read my thoughts.”

The Review is completely student run. The environment in the Review classroom is one of controlled chaos. There is the con-stant hum of student readers poring over and discussing submissions.

“It’s a lot of work,” said Nuñez. “It would be easy to say it’s easy and fun, but it’s also really stressful. Even so, I love go-

ing over people’s work not just from Chaf-fey, but from around the world.”

And that’s what the Review is all about, bringing together artists of all kinds from all over. Not one to rest on her laurels, Dowd only pauses a moment to bask in the success of the launch party before she and the Review team are back to work putting together Volume 9 and engineering the growth and evolution of the Review.

For the fi rst time, the Review is also ac-cepting music and fi lm submissions. Music can be submitted via Soundhoud up to the Oct. 30 deadline. Films can be submitted until the Dec. 14 deadline and the accept-ed fi lms will be screened at the Inaugural Chaffey Review Film Festival on Feb. 9, 2013. Literary and art submissions for vol-ume 9 close on Sept. 30. More information on how to submit pieces can be found at www.chaffeyreview.org.

Copies of volume 8 can be purchased in the Bookstore, the Language Arts offi ce or online at the Review’s website.

If you are a lover of poetry, you can join the Review team at their Poetry In Motion event on Sept. 20 at 12:30pm in CAA 218. Made possible by a grant from Poets & Writers, a national nonprofi t literary or-ganization, Poetry In Motion will feature readings from students and professional poets including Ron Koertge, author of In-digo, Fever and Making Love to Roget’s Wife.

When I’m 64

KIMBERLY JOHNSONTroy Aossey’s “Sun City Cheerleaders” at the Wignall’s opening reception for “When I’m 64,” on Sept. 11.

“The focus of this exhibit and the public profile is to educate on our age group which is growing rapidly. We need to under-

stand and appreciate, but also make plans to accommodate for this transformation in our community so that we can support this older population that has so much to give back.”

From page 1

“People usually think of aging as ‘bad,’ but aging is life,” Jackson said.

Steve Lama, public relations director for the Visiting Nurse Association & Hos-pice of Southern California, agrees with the trend of commemoration. “I think it’s really cool to be part of an exhibit that aims to change the perceptions of aging.”

The comprehension of aging as being apart of life is heavily exuded in Martha Wilson’s photo, Before and After 1978 and 2008. The simplistic dual portrait consists of a bare bodied Wilson at the age of 31, and again at the age of 61. Hoards of view-ers flock around the portrait to discuss re-actions.

Social Worker and gerontology student, Vanessa Romo found interest in the photos raciness.

“It’s really interesting that she took pho-

tos like this even back in the 70s, but to take another 30 years later is pretty brave,” she said.

Words like brave and bold stand syn-onymously with the exhibit itself. There is intent and determination tied within each artistic piece and in the hearts of those in-volved. Besides artistic gratification, the intentions of educating and informing our culture hold profound weight.

“The focus of this exhibit and the pub-lic profile is to educate on our age group which is growing rapidly,” she said. “We need to understand and appreciate, but also make plans to accommodate for this trans-formation in our community so that we can support this older population that has so much to give back.”

The Wignall Museum of Contempo-rary Art will be exhibiting When I’m 64 through Nov. 21.

Club Rush, which was held in the quad on Wednesday, Sept. 12, was a huge suc-cess. Many students came out to see the different types of clubs being offered, while others went for the free tacos. What-ever the reason, the quad was packed with eager students going up to booths and asking questions to get more information about the clubs and what they had to offer.

The variety of clubs was definitely plen-tiful, ranging from the Magic Club to the Feminist Club and everything in between.

Some clubs, such as the Dental Club, used costumes, appropriately shaped as a molar, to help attract students. The mascot, which also happened to be the President of the Dental Club, Christian Montnalvo, ex-plained that the club helps to educate the community about dental hygiene. He said multiple fundraisers are on the club agen-da, and the group is still looking for vol-unteers. Students interested are welcome to attend the club meetings, which are held Wednesdays. Or check out the club web-site, www.chaffeydentalclub.com for more information.

For those more interested in the arts than teeth, they may want to check out clubs such as the Glee Club, which holds its meetings on Tuesdays from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m., Thursdays from 5 to 6 p.m., and Fri-days from 3 to 7 p.m.

There is also Physical Performance Art, which is a subdivision of the Theatre Club.

“We are looking for actors, musicians, dancers, writers or any type of artist,” said Sergio Valacio, a theatre major and mem-ber of the Physical Performance Club. He also said that their current big project was getting people aware of Prop 30 so that voters can make more of an informed de-cision. Valacio also said that they are plan-ning to do a few flash mobs. Students inter-ested can attend meetings, which are held on Mondays at 12:30 p.m. in TA-10.

Other clubs such as the Cinema and Television Club advertise to all movie and TV lovers. Club President Bradley Smith said that members work on producing their own shows as well as watching movies and hosting an annual student film festival. They encourage anyone to join. As their fli-er states, “Come all inspired students who want to be involved in the entertainment industry or if you just love movies and TV!” Meetings are held on Fridays from 4 to 5 p.m. in room CAA 218.

The Muslim Student Association is dedicated to “[dissolving] misconcep-tions about Islam and make students more aware about the real aspects of religion. The MSA seek to promote unity and joint action among Muslims on campus, and to conduct religious, charitable, cultural, ed-ucation and service activities according to the Islamic tradition.” The MSA meets ev-

ery Monday at 10 a.m. in room CAA 215. Interested student can check out the club’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/groups/chaffeymsa.

The Magic Club, which is run by Hen-ry Lang, is designed for anyone trying to learn magic tricks. Lang said that the club is planning to do a lot of fundraisers for charity and will also be preforming for local hospitals. Those interested should contact Lang for more details at [email protected], or go to the club website at www.nebulamagic.com.

The Club of Secular Understanding looks interesting. The intent of the club is to talk about issues that are important to people.

“We get different viewpoints and argue in a setting free to disagree without offend-ing anyone and we come out with a better understanding,” Eugene Jones, club vice president, said. “We want people to come and argue and say they believe in some-thing not because of their Holy Bible, but say ‘We researched and discussed this, and that’s why we believe in it.’”

Jones said that members discuss top-ics such as the ethics of organ transplants, euthanasia, evolution and carnivorism. Meetings are held every Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m. in room SS 108. Students can also check out the club Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/Leagueoffree-thought.

The Chaffey College Car Club is the club responsible for bringing the cool car shows to campus as well as other events. Club member Jesse Osuna says the club does fundraisers to offer grants and schol-arships. Interested students are invited to the club’s first meeting, which will be held on Friday, Sept. 21 in room ATL-115 at 7 p.m. For more information, contact club President Manny Tenorio at (909) 938-5942.

The Sociology Club will be discussing basic sociology events happening around the world, and will have similar discus-sions at their meetings. They will also be discussing fundraiser ideas to go to a con-ference in March in Las Vegas. Meetings are held on Mondays at 6 p.m. in Wargin Hall.

The Online to College Club also made an appearance. They are known for their crazy yet amazing fundraisers such as the “Shave it For Cancer” fundraiser and the “24-Hour Gameathon.” Online to College is a club that was founded to give back to the community of the Ontario-Montclair school district and Chaffey College. The first meeting will be held on Monday, Sept. 17 at 2 p.m. at an as yet undetermined lo-cation. Interested students can contact the club at [email protected].

Obtaining a degree in philosophy can allow you to focus on the traditional “con-tinental” philosophy, in which you study the history of Greek and European philos-ophers, or analytical philosophy.

A few good characteristics for one who chooses to study philosophy include; at-tention to detail, abstract thinking, puzzle solving, debating, and great reading skills. For those of you wondering, yes, trying to find a job in this setting can be frustrating.

The only listings you’ll find are mainly in academic positions at colleges and uni-versities.

However, since you have developed analytical and critical thinking and writing skills, you should be in high demand in a variety of industries.

In this case, a philosophy degree is ad-vantageous because of the abstract reason-ing and research background it provides. You might be suited for a career in busi-ness, writing/editing, public service, law, foreign service and diplomacy.

Most students who major in philosophy study it for its intrinsic interes.

If you are thinking about getting a phi-losophy degree, you might consider going to law school.

Students with a philosophy degree tend to score really well on the law school ad-mission test.

Philosophy has some of the toughest reading out there. It allows you to study how the mind works and why things are the way they are. Being able to get through complex reading will make that section of the LSAT feel like a breeze.

Philosophy degrees are often combined with other fields, and in order to teach at a college or university you will generally need a PhD.

There is currently no universal form of certification for a philosophy degree hold-er since the career choices tend to be so broad.

There are, however, a large selection of professional and academic associations that an individual can join to receive cur-rent article submission, debates, and dis-cussions with peers.

I think; therefore, I major in philosophy

GABRIELA AGUIRREMost students know that it is very

easy to quit, and there are teachers who say “never give up,” which people rarely ever take to heart. But little do they realize teachers have gone through tough trials as well.

Sabrina Wilhelm, a guidance instructor at both the Rancho and Fontana campuses, is a perfect example of having to strive to her goals, and it wasn’t an easy task.

One of the many things that kept her go-ing was her love for helping people.

She recalled that she had a teacher, Coach Leonard, of a soccer team during her elementary years, who had somewhat awakened her love and enthusiasm for pos-itive guidance. “Surround yourself with positive people,” she said. “Life’s an ad-venture — go for things!”

She was a trainer for customer service, education and interviews when she worked for University of Riverside, where she first started her career. She thought it was great helping people train, but she wanted to help people develop themselves and reach their full potential. She wanted to have real, au-

thentic and meaningful conversations with people.

The energy of her classes really moti-vates her. When gaining positive responses from her students, it’s encouraging to her as an instructor. Wilhelm’s enthusiasm for excitement has not only empowered her and her students, but also her activities outside of school. As a hobby, she loves to run. Before graduating from school, she had ran a marathon.

“I’m a runner,” Wilhelm said. “But it’s not about the medal — it’s about how I strived.”

Even through her success, there were many obstacles she had to encounter. On July 21 at 7:30 p.m., Wilhelm was on the I-15 freeway going south and attempted to merge, but instead a collision occurred. She ended up with six stitches on her left forearm, but what was amazing was that she had survived.

“I was confronted with “How are you even alive?’” she said. “The wind shield was fully broken into.”

Despite the hindrances that had inter-rupted her, she kept going.

She has obtained two masters’, one for Educational Counseling and Industrial Or-ganizational Psychology. She was nomi-nated and got an acceptance to go to Ox-ford, England for submitting an abstract, and soon enough she was on her way to do a presentation by a committee of col-lege presidents and people from around the nation. Looking at higher education, she

was focused on women in universities. It would be perfect to tie hope and leadership together — the Hope Theory. She wrote an abstract around it, using research on Hope Theory, which talked about pathways, mo-tivating factors and how to set goals.

“‘When things are down and out, what can you have? That’s when you say ‘Hope’.”

Inherently, folk tales have a specifi c draw to listeners, due to the real-life pos-sibilities that the tales may be based upon. The vocal history and tradition of the folk tale—retellings and embellishments—con-tains a tiny sliver of plausibility and pos-sibility.

Either way, the story is kept alive. So as John Hillcoat's Lawless progresses with the “Based on a True Story” label preced-ing it, you wonder if this story is based on written, accountable truths, or the truths deriving from folk tales.

The fi lm contains moments that are baf-fl ing and challenge factual credibility. For-tunately for the fi lm, I didn't think about this until after it ended, because Lawless is a viscious, gritty gangster fi lm that's en-tertaining until the end. It has a mixture of great performances from the cast, powerful action and dialogue to create some unnerv-ing suspense throughout, with or without a fi rearm present.

It's violent, just like a fi lm titled Lawless should be. What's surprising is that the fi lm is also soulful, darkly comedic and senti-mental. You wouldn't have guessed that based on the trailers and marketing, but it was handled quite well.

It could have all culminated in another costumed period fi lm, but thankfully, the natural setting and beauty of the Virginia landscape adds to the look of authentici-ty. The story told in the fi lm doesn't make much sense, but the larger than life charac-teristics of the Bondurant brothers add to the folk-hero charm.

Lawless tells the story of the Bondurant brothers and their successful moonshine bootlegging business during prohibition

and depression in Franklin County, VA., circa 1931. Forrest (Tom Hardy) and How-ard (Jason Clarke) are the two eldest who handle the main highs and lows of their business, while the youngest, Jack (Shia LeBeouf), drives them on their runs. For-rest, Howard and the county are content with business, but things get turbulent when Federal Agent Charlie Rikes (Guy Pearce) wants a cut of the action.

While Forrest fearlessly refuses, it's the ambitious Jack—dreaming of fancy suits, cars, and courting Bertha (Mia Wasikows-ka) – whose eagerness to deal to his crimi-nal idol Floyd Banner (Gary Oldman) that endangers the operation and Forrest's new store employee Maggie (Jessica Chastain).

This is the third fi lm from Australian fi lmmaker John Hillcoat, who's responsible for creating a post-apocalyptic nightmare

in The Road and capturing the outback in the Australian western in The Proposi-tion. This is Guy Pearce's third collabora-tion with Hillcoat, this time playing a very memorable villain. Rikes is despicable, psychotic, and serpentine in his demeanor and appearance, making you root for the outlaws even more.

You could tell Pearce was having fun in the role. But the true standout is Tom Hardy. Everyone should recognize Hardy from Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, and his work here is better than either fi lm. Hardy is a commanding, stoic and a fearful presence as Forrest Bondurant, so much so that even the authorities approach Forrest with care and hesitation. But his security and love for those nearby make this a char-acter you'd want on your side at all times.

Any fans of the gangster or western

genre should check this out. It tells an in-teresting story about three brothers and a quick look at the history of bootlegging. The visuals are complemented with a soundtrack that switches between soulful gospel and dirty Appalachian tunes. The fi lm's end credits affi rm the “Based on a True” opening with revealing the book (The Wettest County by Matt Bondurant) that inspired the screenplay.

The story isn't fl awlessly told, as there are some bizarrely illogical moments. However, what happens to the Bondurants displays interesting yet fragmented mo-ments of character, much like a folk-tale.

The Good: The acting. Direction. Ac-tion and Violence. The humor is heartfelt, character-based, and earned.

The Bad: The focus of the story is Jack Bondurant, and his journey somewhat pales in comparison to characters like For-rest and Rikes. Some characters are also in-troduced in great fashion, but their story's are eventually dumped.

The Weird: Shia acting outside Trans-formers. It may be weird, but the guy can act. The violence can actually be too much at times. Painful, cringeworthy wor-thy. Some characters have odd behavior-al choices, but I'll attribute that to all the moonshine they be drinking.

Overall: B

Side note: I have not read the book that this was based on, and do not know the ex-tent of historical accuracy of the events of both the book and fi lm. This review is sole-ly based on the fi lm.

The boys of fall are back. The pan-thers football season started on Sept. 8. Sixty-three players walked on to Grisby fi eld looking enthusiastic to play the Santa Monica College Corsairs.

Having already used their bye in the fi rst week of the season the team was rest-ed and ready. However the excitement and ambient atmosphere didn’t last long as the Panthers fell to the Corsairs 34-20.

Having a reputation for having a defen-sive dominant team, the Panthers was de-fense quite the opposite on Saturday.

Having lost two of their starting safe-ties to injury before the season, the defense was not the threatening force that it had been in past seasons.

“We have a lot of new inexperienced guys — freshman. We are relatively young and have key people in our defense miss-ing,” Coach Beach, said.

In the fi rst quarter of the game the Cor-sairs were able to get past Chaffey’s de-fense.

Corsairs freshman quarterback Michael Miller completed a 33-yard pass to sopho-more wide receiver Ralph Gordon III for a touchdown, giving them the fi rst lead in the game 7-0.

Throughout the game, there were slop-py play on both sides of the fi eld. However, the Panthers had four turnovers, whereas the Corsairs had one.

Despite losing by 14 points, there was major improvements in the offense.

“We are far more capable than past seasons on the offensive side we have the potential to move the ball better,” said Beach. “Our quarterback Harrison Stewart

is doing really well as well as our running backs, and we have a very strong wide re-ceiver core.”

While looking stiff in the fi rst peri-od, the offense began to work in the sec-ond with a 32-yard touchdown pass from freshman Harrison Stewart to sophomore receiver Alex Jefferies.

This would be the fi rst of many dynam-ic plays for Alex Jefferies, who had four catches for 75 yards throughout the game.

“We made some downs and moved some distance down the fi eld, but we made some bad judgement call and that stopped us from being in goal scoring position sev-eral times during the game,” Beach said.

While the Panthers failed to get in scor-ing position throughout most of the game, kicker Eric Zamudio shortened the point distance between the two teams.

Zamudio made two fi eld goals when the offense failed to score, as well as the extra kicks for the Panthers two touchdowns.

By the fourth quarter Panthers were down 34-13, with three minutes left in the game the second quarterback, Dominic Barnett made a 30-yard pass to wide re-ceiver Tim Diaz for a Panther touchdown.

Making the fi nal score 34-20, the loss was not taken well by the Panthers, as a fi ght erupted between teammates after the game.

Coach Beach and football staff quickly stopped the fi ght and got the team in order.

“We lost the game and a loss lingers with the players and get them frustrated,” said Beach. “We are going to use this as a learning tool. We have some strength and some weaknesses. The most important thing is that we stay healthy.”

The day might have started gloomy but the Lady Panthers brought light to their victory.

The 2-1-1 Panthers faced the 1-3-0 L.A. Harbor Sea Hawks resulting in favor for the Panthers 4-1 victory.

Panthers offense was powerful for the entire game, which is what carried them to victory.

The Sea Hawks arrived to the field with a win on their mind, but the Panthers were not going to give it up easy.

Panthers were able to keep the fast pace and played good offense with several goal attempts.

Harbor’s defense was able to keep up with the Panther’s offense during the first minutes of the game.

Later during the first half of the game their defense broke down.

Panthers game play was persistent leav-ing the Sea Hawks caught off guard, con-fused and in awe at how uptempo Panther offense.

Panthers played an aggressive and ener-getic starting first half. They continued to attack with grace as well as attitude.

The Panthers forced their way to the first goal. They led into halftime 1-0, with the first goal made by Latriece Turner.

Entering the second half with the lead, the Panthers came out seeking more ven-

geance, resulting in a goal in the first ten minutes.

Scoring the second goal was Kara Tabi-ta. Never letting down on defense or of-fense, the Panthers kept up their game.

“Defensively, I think I did pretty good playing inside goal side,” Deanna “Diesel” Briones said.

Briones scored the third goal and also made an assist to Angie Herbts for the fourth goal.

Briones, thinks her team did a great job keeping their opponents from scoring.

The Sea Hawks were able to sneak a goal in at the last minute of the match with a corner kick.

The men’s soccer team played against undefeated L.A. Harbor as if it were a play-off game.

While it wasnt do or die, the victory does count toward points at the end of sea-son.

While the windy condition was an ob-stacle, it didn’t stop the team from making plays and following through with every kick.

The first half of the game was all in fa-vor of the Panthers.

Just minutes into the game, Carlos Ra-mos kicked the ball straight past Harbor’s goalie, Ngwa Blessing, for the first blood.

It seemed like an easy task but work-ing past L.A. Harbor’s defense prevented Ramos from kicking to the back of the net.

“I haven’t made a goal in a long time,” said Ramos, criminal justice major. “So, before the game that was the only thing on my mind. It was my time to push myself for the team,”

But the mindset of one player didn’t help the team. It was the group effort of constant communication on the field and each teammate taking advantage of the sluggish Harbor team by staying with the ball.

It wasn’t until the end of the first half that Harbor was able to score and put them-selves on the board making it 2-1.

But Harbor didn’t stay close behind. Chaffey’s opponent put the ball in Har-bor’s own goal, making the new score 3-1 Chaffey.

The frustrations were high on the field with Harbor’s teammates yelling at one an-

other about which direction the ball should have gone.

Harbor had trouble staying in control of the ball, and Ramos took advantage of that to score another goal.

While Harbor couldn’t keep balls out of their net, goalie Erik Zamudio made his presence known on the field by blocking every ball that came his way.

The second half proved that undefeated Harbor was willing to take desperate mea-sures to try to win against the Panthers.

It started with a hit in the back to Jona-than Hernandez. And things only got more heated when Harbor tried to make a goal but only got the post three times in a row.

Harbor was lucky enough to get a penal-ty kick, but Zamudio stood tall and blocked with confidence.

At times Zamudio wasn’t the only body

covering the net. He always had help from his teammates.

As the plays got more aggressive, more yellow and red cards were being pulled by Chaffey.

Harbor pushed their way to another goal, making it 3-2. But in the end, the un-defeated team left the field with their first loss.

“Harbor was a good team. They came out hard but it feels great to beat an unde-feated team,” said Ramos. “Now I feel like we can beat any team.”

The Panthers made sure their eyes nev-er left the ball and beat the previously un-defeated Harbor, making the title more of a possibility. Their next game will be on Sept. 28 at 4 p.m.
