Francois Englert, a visiting professor at Chapman, won the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics Oct. 8. He shares the award with Britain’s Peter Higgs, 84, for the pair’s discovery of the Higgs boson particle, popularly known as the “God particle” and “miss-ing piece” in the Standard Model of modern physics. Jeff Tollaksen, director of Chapman’s Institute for Quantum Studies, was in Brussels with Englert when the an-nouncement was made. “I saw him only an hour later at the University of Brussels,” Tollaksen said. “He was still in a state of shock, but as soon as he saw me, he hugged me and we were so excited about it.” Englert, 80, is a Belgian theoretical physicist who joined Chapman’s Insti-tute for Quantum Studies as a found-ing member in 2011. He now serves as a Distinguished Visiting Professor in Residence, meaning he does research with the institute and holds lectures on campus. “We are extraordinarily fortunate that he is associated with us,” Chancellor Daniele Struppa said in a statement. Higgs and Englert will split a prize of $1.2 million, to be awarded in Stock-holm Dec. 10, according to an article published in The New York Times Oct. 8. Englert has been dividing his time between his primary appointment at Universite Libre de Bruxelles in Brussels and at Chapman. The prize was announced in Stock-holm by the Nobel Committee for Phys-ics, and recognizes Englert for proposing the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, which was later validated by the discov-ery of the Higgs boson. The Nobel Committee said the two men were chosen “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contrib-utes to our understanding of the origin of subatomic particles mass, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experi-ments at CERN’s Large Hadron Col-lider,” according to the official citation from the awarding committee. Englert has made influential contribu-tions in statistical physics, quantum field theory, cosmology, string theory and supergravity in his career. Other Nobel Prize winners with Chap-man connections are professor Vernon L. Smith and Presidential Fellow Elie Wiesel. Smith, a professor of economics and law and founding member of Chap-man’s Economic Science Institute, won the 2002 Nobel in Economics. Wiesel, an acclaimed author, human rights advo-cate and Holocaust survivor, received

the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. “Englert’s discoveries have revolu-tionized the field of physics, and his work continues to break new ground,” President Jim Doti said in a statement. “We are grateful for his presence here at Chapman, which enlivens the intellec-tual life of our campus.” Luz Jimenez Vela, a senior physics major, said she first met Englert when he gave a talk at Professor Yakir Aharonov’s 80th birthday conference. “In my opinion, out of the panel of physicists present, he articulated his points most clearly. He left an impres-sion of being a very kind, welcoming and intelligent individual,” Jimenez Vela said. “It’s an honor to know that a Phys-ics Nobel Laureate is now affiliated with Chapman.”

The Higgs boson particle was tentatively confirmed to exist March 14. 2013, and would explain why some fundamental particles have mass. Scientists, including visiting professor Francois Englert, have been searching for the particle for more than 40 years.

Chapman purchased a property on the corner of Shaffer Street and Sycamore Avenue earlier this year, planning to move a faculty member in to regulate student party activity nearby. The current leasers of the residence, five female Chapman students, said they are upset and feel that Chapman attempted to nullify their lease after buying the house from their landlord. They have been permitted to stay for now, but must move out at the end of the academic year. The students signed a lease May 6 to rent the house. The property is located at the intersection commonly known as Syc & Shaf, and was later purchased by Chapman in June. Kate Cole, sophomore political sci-ence major and current resident of the house, said she and her roommate signed

the lease to the house and paid a month of rent before Chapman purchased the property. “Almost immediately after we signed, we received an email from the current land-lord at the time, which said Chapman had informed her that they would nullify our lease,” Cole said. “At first we were freaking out, but then I realized that they probably had no right to do that.” Sara Chester, the landlord of the house at the time, sent an email to the new resi-dents explaining that she had received an offer from Chapman and that she couldn’t turn it down. “Unfortunately once Chapman buys the house, the leases with you are not longer valid,” Chester’s email said. Harold Hewitt, executive vice presi-dent and chief operating officer, said that Chester approached Chapman with the opportunity to purchase her property in late spring and the purchase was finalized shortly thereafter.

Chester told the residents that authori-ties at Chapman were making it a priority to put them at the top of the housing list, and that the offices of the dean of students and off-campus housing would work with them directly to make sure they had a “great place to live.” Cole was unsure how to deal with the situation and contacted her uncle for help. He was directed to Josh Le Vesque, special projects administrator, who originally agreed with Chester and said Chapman had the legal right to nullify their lease. “He seemed a little iffy about the ques-tion,” Cole said. “He initially said that they had the right to kick us out, and then later on took it back and said it was a misun-derstanding, but the entire experience was super stressful.” Le Vesque denies telling those involved in the process that their leases would be nullified. “I informed the gentleman that this was not our intent, we had never said that,” Le

Vesque wrote in an email. “I told him that I had not yet received copies of the lease agreements (at the time) and could not speak to any of the conditions that might have been established therein.” Le Vesque said he was surprised to hear what the residents had been told. “We simply proposed other options to the ladies. The university typically avoids the purchase of properties which have existing lease or rental agreements,” Le Vesque said. “We were approached directly by the seller who felt that we would be ideal stewards of the historic property.” Cole said that the Chapman authorities could have prevented this misunderstand-ing by communicating differently. “They approached the situation like we were being forced to move out on such short notice,” Cole said. “It made it seem like Chapman didn’t think we represented the neighborhood well enough to live there, which was really hurtful to all of us.”

Why did you decide to run for this seat? After going from feeling like Chapman’s biggest outcast my first year to now being one of the highly involved school-spirited and social Chapman students, I have a perspective far different from most. What would you like to see improved on campus? A welcoming student diversity center, programs spreading awareness about diversity and current events as well as more reaching out to the minorities on campus.

The special election for junior class senator in Student Government As-sociation (SGA) begins today and ends Wednesday at 5 p.m. Go to www.chap-manvotes.com. to cast your vote. The junior class senator serves as

representative for the Class of 2015, and is responsible for advocating for the concerns of all students, but their skills and experiences should be tai-lored to meet the needs of the junior class specifically. Junior public relations and adver-tising major and former junior class senator Nicole Moy resigned Sept. 20

because of time conflicts with athletics and her sorority. “I decided to resign because it conflicted with other activities that I was part of,” Moy said. “As much as I wanted to represent my class, I felt I would be doing a disservice by not being able to represent them as well as another senator could.”

Festival features diverse speakersRACHEL FECHSER Staff Photographer

Iserson is a film and television writer who recently worked on Fox’s “New Girl” and wrote a young adult novel called “Firecracker.” The book festival returned to Chapman this year and featured panels about the role of social media in the life of an author, the current state of sports journalism and the comic book industry’s role in litera-ture. Speakers included television anchor Lara Spencer and Marvel Comics editor Bill Rosemann.

Business students can have meals with mentors

The Argyros School of Business and Economics (ASBE) debuted a program aimed at strengthening faculty-student relations with the first of seven Distinguished Faculty Dinners in the chef ’s room of Randall Dining Commons, Oct. 10. Each dinner brings together Kelly Rogers, ASBE academic advisor, one faculty member and up to eight business students for a free meal and an opportunity for discussion outside of the classroom. Student Government Association (SGA) voted 18-0, with three abstentions, to approve $910 in funding for the new program at a senate meeting Oct. 4. The money will come from the senate fund, which is used for senate-related projects and has $10,590 remaining for the year. Spencer Berry, ASBE senator, who introduced the idea to Rogers and Ken Murphy, assistant dean of ASBE, said the program was influenced by previous experiences he had speaking to business professionals in a casual environment. “One of my greatest experiences has been talking to professionals in an informal dinner or lunch setting,” Berry said. “This was the inspiration to recreate a low pressure environment for business students to talk life, careers and advising.” Students are only allowed to participate in one of the seven dinner events and can sign up to attend on a first come, first serve basis through ASBE Connect, an online portal for business students to find jobs and register for events. Each dinner will be held on a Thursday from 5-6 p.m. once a month for the remainder of the academic year, with the exception of January. Rogers said that a wide variety of topics will be discussed at the dinners. “We’ll talk about everything from four-year plans, internships and jobs to volunteer opportunities,” Rogers said. “We’re going to keep it pretty open to whatever the particular students at that dinner want to discuss.” Donald Booth, a now-retired professor of economics, was the faculty member in attendance at the first dinner. “We discussed procedures for ensuring that a student is making appropriate progress toward a degree, opportunities we offer that will enrich your resume and networking strategy,” Booth said Bayli Anderson, junior business administration major and one of five students present at the dinner, said that the new program has many benefits. “I wasn’t necessarily sure what to expect going in, but it was a great experience to get to talk with Dr. Booth and Dr. Rogers about planning for the future,” Anderson said. “It was also nice to get to know the other students there a little better.” Murphy said the student and faculty dinners are just one of several interactive events the college offers for business students on campus. “For a long time it’s been one of my missions to break down barriers and get faculty more involved with students outside of the classroom and this is a perfect opportunity,” Murphy said. “It’s not the only thing we’re doing but it’s an example of it.” Murphy and Reggie Gilyard, ASBE dean, regularly attend ice cream and pizza socials for business students in the dorms. “We need to give them opportunities to see the faculty in other lights,” Murphy said. “And that doesn’t always mean it has to be through an intellectual conversation.”

Television actor to speak about disabilities

R.J. Mitte, known for his role as Walt Jr. on the hit television show “Breaking Bad,” is coming to campus tonight. However, it won’t be to discuss his character, or the recent series finale of the show. Mitte, who suffers from cerebral palsy, will speak on the topic of social justice for people with disabilities. The event, hosted by University Program Board (UPB), will be held in Memorial Hall at 6:45 p.m. His speech entitled “Overcoming Adversity: Turning a Disadvantage into an Advantage” will focus on his struggles with cerebral palsy and should be a motivational and inspirational experience for the audience, said Nandi George, UPB

awareness director. “He’s relatable because he’s around our age,” George said. UPB also announced a contest that will give two students the opportunity to have dinner with Mitte before he delivers his speech. To enter the contest, contenders must make “I want to have dinner with advo-cate and Breaking Bad actor, RJ Mitte!”, tag @ChapmanUPB and hashtag #RJatCU in their posts, and Facebook message Chapman UPB their reason for want-ing to attend the dinner. The deadline is today at noon, and the winners will be announced shortly after 2 p.m. UPB Chair Camellia Khalvati said that Mitte wasn’t chosen for his celebrity. “She [George] wanted to shed light on

this topic that’s never really talked about,” Khalvati said. “It’s just a perk that he happens to be a big time actor and we’re really excited for what he has to say about the issue.” George said that it was a coincidence that the event was scheduled just weeks after the show’s finale. “I wish I could say that I planned it strategically,” George said. Khalvati said that UPB is expecting a relatively large turnout and that students should arrive early. Miranda Melling, a junior health sci-ence major and “Breaking Bad” enthusiast said she entered the contest after it was announced on UPB’s Facebook page. “I’m getting in line at 5 [p.m.],” Melling said.

With the tagline “a history of good taste,” I was fully prepared to enjoy what I thought was going to be a fulfilling dish with years of perfection of texture and flavor. What I got was quite the opposite. Kolache Factory opened Oct. 8 in Tustin, about 10 minutes driving dis-tance from campus. The bakery chain originated in Texas, and Tustin is its first location in California. A Kolache is an Eastern European baked sweet dough filled with a dollop of meat, cheese or fruit. Kolache Fac-tory filler flavors range from sausage and gravy, Philly cheese steak, Texas hot Polish sausage and chicken enchi-lada. An employee told me the most pop-ular customer pick is the Ranchero Kolache with ham, egg, cheese, jalape-ños and salsa. A friend and I ordered this along with a ham and cheese croissant, one of the other dough op-tions available. Our expectations of a hearty breakfast were squandered. We both left unhappy and stopped at Bruxie, the waffle house on N. Glassell Street to sooth our hunger pains. The kolaches and croissants sit be-hind the counter on shelf racks. Upon

ordering, they are put into a white paper bag. If you request them warm, the bag is zapped in a microwave that sits right under the counter. When cutting into the warm dough exteriors, I was disappointed to not see any steam from the bland minced meats and sticky scrambled eggs. The dough was too plain and the fillers were tasteless. The restaurant environment didn’t include any place to sit apart from a few corner bar stools and two outside tables. It was a challenge to sit com-fortably and order a cup of coffee. All items are under $4. The Ran-chero Kolache was $2.69 and all crois-sants are $3.39. Although the bakery fits a small budget, it leaves a small impact on any breakfast experience. Kolache Factory is open Monday to Saturday 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sunday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Miley Cyrus seems eager to prove she is no longer a wholesome Dis-ney girl. “Bangerz,” released Oct. 4, is on par with what you might expect after seeing her recent live perfor-mances: exuberant, shallow and immature entertainment. The lyrics are absurd and laugh-able for an album with song titles like “#GETITRIGHT” and “Love Money Party.” A pop hit doesn’t have to have intelligent content, but Cyrus takes the simple “party and have fun” theme further with lyrics like “I feel like I got no panties on.” She’s either trying too hard, or the electronically-tinged overproduc-tion gets in the way. There are mo-ments when her vocals shine, but they are few and far between. With rare exceptions, most of the songs fail to have solid hooks. Lead singles “Wrecking Ball” and “We Can’t Stop” are catchy, as are “FU” and “Drive.” However, for every decent song,

there are two bad ones, like “Adore You” and “Rooting for my Baby” that lack any emotional heft, or hook-less electronic numbers like “SMS (Bangerz)” which nearly drove me insane with repetition. There are a few featured artists, including Nelly and Britney Spears, but none of them made any impact on me. Ludacris, whose verse on bonus track “On My Own” serves to make Cyrus’ attempts at rapping on several tracks seem even more lackluster. Cyrus will please her target audi-ence, women ages 13 – 21. However, her confidence seems totally un-founded in an album that is shrill, meaningless and, worst of all, a little boring.

Erin Condren planners: tool or trend?

During class, Rachel Shatz pulls out her notebook, pencil and an Erin Condren planner. She flips through the planner’s colorful pages to the current date, and begins cross-ing off and adding notes to her busy college schedule. “Everyone has an Erin Condren planner,” said Shatz, a junior communication studies major. “But none of them look alike because you can customize them.” Women like Shatz at Chapman purchase the planners from the online calendar and sta-tionary store, Erin Condren, for $50, and sport them on campus as a fashion statement and an organizational tool. The planners outline an entire year and are customizable with more than 80 different design and color combinations. Condren founded the company in 2005, and since then, her customer base has expanded to college students and even younger high school and middle school-aged girls. “I first found out about Erin Condren through a promotional deal through my sorority,” Shatz said. “That’s how I got my first one.” Erin Condren, CEO and founder of EC Design LLC, appeared on the “Today” show’s “Mompreneur” segment Sept. 25, where she discussed launching her business while raising twins. “After years in the apparel industry, I found myself at home on bed rest with a surprise twin pregnancy. I started designing at home,” Condren wrote in an email. “I quickly learned that paper products are incredibly viral.” Junior communication studies major Alexa Biglow said she first heard about Erin Con-dren planners at Chapman. “I’ve always had a planner, but having an Erin Condren is a fashion statement,” Biglow said. Among the company’s other products like gift cards, stickers, stationary and invitations, Condren wrote that the planners are her best-selling items. “I love to see that in this day of high tech apps and technology at our fingertips, hundreds of thousands of people still prefer using ‘old fashioned’ Life Planners to schedule their busy days,” Condren wrote. “They are more productive and successful as a result.” Biglow said in the midst of many student planners on the market, Erin Condren planners have the reputation of being the trendiest. “When girls see girls who have them, I think they then feel like they should get one too,” Biglow said. “It’s like a chain reaction. No other place has anything just like Erin Condren.” Biglow said her planner has stickers to help her organize, a plastic case to hold small items and inspirational quotes throughout the pages.

Erin Condren planners: tool or trend?

Condren wrote that she learned the importance of organization when she was a college student. “I remember the action packed days when I attended UCLA, I had an internship at the college newspaper, designed and sold my own collection of jewelry and maintained the busy social schedule with my sorority,” Condren wrote. “I like to reiterate that ‘no one plans to fail, they simply fail to plan.’” Condren wrote that her inspiration for the designs came from her previous work experi-ence in the apparel industry. “I have always been obsessed with fashion and textiles, so many of my designs were in-spired by fabrics and trends I’ve seen on the runways,” she wrote. “I also think that statio-nery, a Life Planner, iPhone case and other accessories can say so much about a person.” Sophomore strategic and corporate com-munication major Matt Callans said there is a stereotype that goes with women and their planners. “I think girls take pride in their planners,” Callans said. “I’ve heard from multiple girls that you can tell a lot about a person by the planner they use.” But some students, like junior health sci-ence major Nicole Oliveira, find the plan-ners unnecessary. “At sorority meetings when everyone has their Erin Condrens, I just bring sticky notes and then put it all in my phone calendar later,” Oliveira said. Biglow said Erin Condren is about more than just having a planner, though. “It’s a fashionable way to be organized,” she said.

here was a sur-prising number of young

people for a small-town campaign fun-draiser held on a Friday night. I was expecting the attendees to be middle-aged

politicians and party donors, yet the backyard barbecue was

lit with the energetic faces of high school and college students, all trained in the art of fake laughter and subtle self-promo-tion. We were all there for the same reason, and it wasn’t to write a check or enjoy the free cucumber water. With smiles glued to our faces, we participated in the duty of every career-driven college student: networking. From career development centers to classrooms, it has been made clear that in such a competitive job market, network-ing is required to get ahead. But as we are taught how to socialize our way to suc-cess, it’s important to examine what we lose when friendships turn into career-connections and who you know trumps what you know. Last semester, one of my professors brought in a guest speaker: a bright and successful graduate with an envious job in Los Angeles. We, the wide-eyed students working hard to enter the same industry in which she was thriving, pressed her to give us the key to her success. Was it un-relenting determination? Creative ideas? Dedicated work ethic? “Networking,” she replied, shrugging off our idealized expectations. “It’s about who you know and when to call in a favor.” Despite her intellect and admirable work ethic, she made it clear that her ability to work a cocktail party was most responsible for her success. As children, we were taught that we could achieve anything through hard work and determination. How disap-pointing, then, to learn that achievement relies on our ability to mingle, and that successful careers bend toward the most connected rather than the most qualified. Though networking may be about so-cializing, it can feel fiercely individualistic. By placing the value of friendships on whether or not they can get us a job, net-working tokenizes human relationships into stepping-stones for our own personal gain. At every networking event I’ve attended, I was hard-pressed to find a moment of real human connection. Empathy is im-possible when conversations are no lon-ger for us to listen to and understand one another, but to find opportunities to cozy our way into a fatter paycheck. It has been reported that Americans are among the loneliest people on the planet. But is that surprising when we are encouraged to build social networks only for the benefit of our career, and value other people only for what they can do for us? Networking has a time and a place, and social skills are incredibly valuable to many industries. But the incessant networking craze must be kept in check. When networking is valued over hard work and merit, it doesn’t matter if our connections land us a dream job when we lack the skill or passion to do the job well. It may be difficult to see now, as col-lege students in a university bent on the benefits of networking, but your career is not your life, your personality is not de-fined by your LinkedIn profile and your self-worth is not gauged by your ability to self-promote. And when you finally do land that pres-tigious job, you’re going to want to com-plain to some real friends.

EDITORIAL

Students shouldn’t endorse superficial priorities

The Panther Editorial Board

BuzzFeed, a popular website among Chapman stu-dents, features short and pithy articles, photos, videos and other viral content. The posts are relevant and relatable to lovers of pop culture, news and cultural phenomena. A BuzzFeed user posted a story Oct. 10 with the headline, “10 Reasons Chapman University Is The Best School In America,” citing reasons including the “fact that all the girls are actually hot!” and “the loca-tion of drunk food heaven.” The article was shared on Facebook, as most BuzzFeed stories are, and cir-culated quickly through the Chapman community. But before posting articles like this, students should think about whether or not this is the way they want others to think about their school. Aside from being poorly written, superficial and inaccurate, the article was also dismissive of many of Chapman’s distinguishing features that draw students of intellect and ambition. There was no mention of the knowledgeable pro-fessors here, or the small class sizes, or the research and internship opportunities open to students. The 90 student organizations that provide out-lets for community service, social justice, religious expression, academic recognition and artistic per-formance must have fallen just below item No. 10 on the list, which boasts Chapman’s proximity to Disneyland. There was no shoutout to any college, undergradu-ate or graduate, besides Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, and even then only its ranking was praised. The list included no reference to any sort of social

life beyond venue parties. Ultimately, it portrays Chapman as a film set in-stead of an institution of higher education. The post was created by a user and was not vetted or endorsed by BuzzFeed’s editorial staff, meaning it is not a credible reflection of the university. Still, it pervades stereotypes of life in a Southern Californian college town that should be dismissed instead of celebrated and shared. Some may question the harm of one superficial article representing Chapman, but the BuzzFeed article reflects a common thread of vanity that exists in campus culture. Though it may give the fleeting ego-boost to rank high on an unofficial “hotness” rating, such articles and rankings are completely superfluous, and col-lectively cause more damage to our reputation than good. What are we promoting when we decide Chap-man’s absolute strongest quality is the “hotness” of its students? Chapman is a nationally-ranked university, not an NFL cheerleading team. A compliment is a compli-ment, but when the flattery published remains skin-deep, this school may never be taken seriously as a truly competitive school of higher learning. Not one of the 10 reasons posted on BuzzFeed as to why Chapman is “the best school in America” includes students’ intellect, drive and passion. Such an article promotes a superficial stereotype and discredits the many students, both those at Chapman and those considering applying, that don’t care about things like physical beauty or venue parties.

Networking: schmooze and lose

Considering I hadn’t moved in 45 minutes, I was sur-prised at how fast my heart was beating. The stares toward me ex-pressed confu-sion, support and disgust, to name only a few. I wasn’t the only one, either. There were nine other people lined up beside me, along the

knoll facing the Harold Hutton Sports Cen-ter, participating in a silent protest during Chapman’s annual Homecoming Game. I had no doubts about why I wanted to stage a silent protest. The recent spike in hate incidents led my peers and other activ-ists into a feeling of rejection, sadness and frustration, and I felt strongly that some-thing needed to be done. But the question

that so many peers and friends had asked me leading up to this moment, was still in my own head: “Why are you doing this?” It was then I heard my mother’s voice reverberating in my head: “Nayobi, there’s going to be a time when I’m not going to be there to stand up for you, and you’re going to have to be the one to stand up for what you think is right… by yourself.” I continued to hear that statement from her throughout my 20 years, but I didn’t fully grasp what she meant. I didn’t truly understand when she told me to stand up to a girl who told me I was a “disgusting dyke” because my mother was gay. Nor did I grasp it when I had to explain the concept of “fluidity” to people when they told me I didn’t “act” bisexual. Nor did I grasp it when I defended myself against an individual who said I was “too sensitive” when someone placed a note in our anony-mous Student Union suggestion box advis-ing “less minorities.” I didn’t realize that my university would be the place I learned this. I assumed I was safe from ignorance, that at this level of higher thinking, I would surely be judged by the content of my character, rather than my identities. I assumed wrong.

Then, it clicked. I finally grasped the meaning of what she said, when I sat silent-ly, with fewer peers than I imagined would support me, in the Piazza, with a sign that read: “You accepted me but you still don’t accept me.” Over the past three years I’ve realized prejudice is everywhere, contrary to what my naiveté had thought. It hides in corners where it can be easily ignored. It hides in our humor, our language and publicly on our faces. It hides in articles named “Keep calm and ignore ignorance” that tell you to “choose your battles - but wait! Not that one… and no, not that one either” and it hides in our fearful unwillingness to learn, to be uncomfortable and to be challenged. So I ask you to stand up in whatever way you can: as little as the questioning of someone’s usage of the word “gay,” or as big as a Piazza rally. You might feel isolated, and you might feel angry that no one has spoken up before or you might even feel ashamed because you’re alone — but you’re not. I stand with you, and rest assured everyone that supports the fight against oppression, prejudice and injustice stands with you too. Join me in realizing our true potential as a unified society.

Back in July, I applied to a program that allows students studying abroad to discuss hu-man rights is-sues at the U.N. in Geneva, Swit-zerland. This program was created by Dr. Ariel King from the Ariel King Founda-tion and pro-moted by Se-mester at Sea. I applied because I had an interest

in global relations and wanted to learn how the U.N. works to improve human rights violations. Fortunately, in August I received the news that I was accepted, along with 17 other students, to be a part of this once in a life-time opportunity. Each represented country was allowed to have one speaking delegate and an alter-

native delegate to sit directly behind them. All of the signs were in alphabetical order, but each meeting was called to order with a new letter of the alphabet so that different countries were awarded to sit in the front. Each seat was equipped with a microphone for speaking and an earpiece for listening to translators. Accordingly, six languages were trans-lated: Russian, French, Arabic, English, Spanish and Mandarin. As the agenda stated, 10 countries had five minutes to discuss how their particular country contributes to the protection of human rights. Among the countries that presented were Ireland, Malaysia, Australia, Algeria, Albania, Spain, Qatar, Romania, the Maldives and Rwanda. In addition, time was allotted for the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to express their concerns regarding specific human rights violations. Later in the day, we had a side event in which my Semester at Sea colleagues, and other student representatives from NGOs, discussed different human rights issues. Seven students discussed the injustices of women in African and Middle Eastern countries, global education and the war on

drugs in Mexico. Overall, we all felt for-tunate to be the first students to have our voices heard at the U.N. Article 1 of the Declaration on the Right to Development states: “The right to devel-opment is an inalienable human right by virtue...in which all human rights and fun-damental freedoms can be fully realized.” To me, the right to development means the right to have access to education. Many nations do not provide substantial schools for their youth, if any at all. I view this as a violation to human rights. An example of an NGO that promotes the improvement of education is Pencils of Promise, which helps to provide educational opportunities and works to build schools in developing nations. My favorite part about exploring the U.N. was realizing how Chapman is preparing its students to become aware of the worldwide problems that exist today and the problems we face as an interconnected world in the future. From the community strand in the integrated educational studies major to human rights-conscious campus organiza-tions, Chapman students are truly guided to become global citizens.

Meghan HarneyJunior integrated educational studies major

My friend told me about a guy who graduated with a screen-writing degree. He had always dreamed of living in Santa Monica and now he finally lives there. He even has a job. Well, he works as a server, but he is a server in the city where Brian Grazer and Paul Haggis reside. Screenwriting

is a relatively new and small major at Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, populated by a couple dozen kids hoping to be the next Aaron Sorkin or Charlie Kaufman. This is more than the industry can hold, if we add all the other screenwriting students from other schools, and all the people who write screenplays but are not pursuing for-mal education. But I am not writing this to whine about

how hard it is to get a job. Every branch of the film industry is overpopulated, and so are many other industries. What I am writing about is how screen-writing students coming out of Dodge are not fully prepared to work in the industry. Why, you might ask? Because they never see how a film is made. The program doesn’t require them to go on sets, and after four years and a lot of money spent, they graduate from one of the most prestigious film schools in the country with-out having participated in the creation of an audiovisual medium. Even worse, they never see how a film they’ve written is made. They are supposed to write for the screen, but they end up writ-ing to fill up the drawers in their room. So whose fault is it? 1. The screenwriters themselves. Most of them have never sent their work to a festival. We can’t expect our resume to boost up on its own. There are a lot of screenplay compe-titions that have low or no entrance fees, and an award would look legitimate when apply-ing to a studio — and help with the chances of having it produced. 2. Directing students. Dear directing stu-dents: screenwriters are your friends, not your enemies. It is painful to watch poorly

written student films just because the direc-tor felt only he or she could tell this story properly on their own. You know, there’s a reason people pursue screenwriting. And, if I dare say, screenwriters are better at writing screenplays than directors are. There, I said it. So you have an idea for a thesis? Ask some of the screenwriting profes-sors — I am sure they will be able to recom-mend a writing genius. 3. Dodge. I can’t understand why Dodge is perfectly fine with directors writing the piec-es they will direct. That’s not how it works in real life. Yes, there are Quentin Tarantino and Woody Allen, but they comprise a mi-nority and an exception in the industry that Dodge is supposed to prepare us for. The film school should introduce a rule where a thesis has to be at least co-written by a screenwriter, with the director keeping the right to come up with an original idea. It will teach both writers and directors about collaboration and bring us closer to the way the industry works and I am abso-lutely sure that in many ways it will make thesis films better than they are now. So yeah, I want to live in Santa Monica too when I graduate. But I’d rather work at Lion-sgate, not Chipotle.

Chapman football, currently first place in SCIAC and on a four-game winning streak, refused to slow down in a resounding 62-21 victory against Pomona-Pitzer Saturday afternoon. This season marks the third time in school history that Chapman has been unbeaten after four games, and the team is off to its best start since 1996, when the Panthers began the season 5-0. Chapman (4-0, 2-0 SCIAC) scored in all but one possession en route to its slaughter of Pomona (0-4, 0-2 SCIAC) with a split passing and running attack and strong pass protection. “The number one thing for us to do is control the line of scrimmage,” said head coach Bob Owens. “The linemen are the heart and soul of this team. Those guys are great. They really help us go.” Junior quarterback Michael Lahey passed for 312 yards, almost doubling his yards per game average, and three touchdowns. Nine receivers caught at least one pass and five different Panther receivers got into the end zone.

The scoring began three minutes into the game, when junior running back Cody Chapple put Chapman on the board with a one-yard run. Senior running back Kyle White caught a Lahey pass with four min-utes left in the quarter, but the Sagehens scored with 10 seconds left to bring the score to 13-7. White scored twice in the second quarter on short yardage runs. Sophomore wide receiver Sean Myers, junior wide receiver Spencer Jordan, sophomore wide receiver Riley Guilbeault, junior running back Darek Mendoza and senior quarterback Kevin Hunter also added touchdowns in the high-scoring game. Converting on six of eight third downs and both fourth down attempts helped the Panthers keep the chains moving and pre-vented the Pomona defense from grabbing some much needed oxygen. The average drive time on scoring possessions was two minutes and 35 seconds. Although the Panthers ran for only 218 yards, their lowest total of the year, they still averaged 6.2 yards per carry, which helped the Panthers convert 30 first downs. The no-huddle offense has made its way into practically all levels of football, and

Chapman has adopted it to create one of the most efficient, explosive offenses in the nation. Chapman had entered the game ranked No. 3 in the nation in of-fensive scoring in Division III, according to NCAA.org, and is now averaging 57.2 points after four contests. The unsung heroes of Chapman’s team are the linemen, both defensive and of-fensive. Junior linebacker Greg Johnson led Chapman on defense with 14 tackles, including two for a loss and one quarter-back sack. On the other hand, Lahey has been sacked just twice this year. “We’ve got such a great offensive line. We run the ball so effectively, when we play-action off it, guys are wide open,” Lahey said. Sophomore offensive line Jacob Speer said that speed is the key to the linemen’s success. “Speed is our advantage and we use it,” Speer said. “As linemen, our goal is to give our skill guys a chance to make a play…The pace used to be exhausting, but our endurance has built up and it’s empowering to see the fatigue in the defense.” The Panthers continue conference play at Occidental Oct. 19 at 7 p.m.

Chapman volleyball was upset on the road Tuesday night, losing 3-2 in a back and forth fight with Occidental. Chapman (14-7, 7-2 SCIAC) was able to salvage the week and hold down second place in the Southern California Intercol-legiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) with a dominating 3-0 win over Redlands. “We went in thinking that we were going to win,” said junior libero Andi Frisina. “They did not do anything special, we had plenty of opportunities. We just had an off night.” Chapman started strong in the upset loss to Occidental (11-7, 5-3 SCIAC), taking the first set 27-25, only to have the sets knotted up at 1-1 after dropping the second set 25-22. Chapman rallied in the third set 25-21, but from then on it was all Occidental. “We can’t take anything for granted in volleyball, and that’s what we did against Occidental,” said freshman outside hitter Halle Erdhal. The Tigers outscored the Panthers 40-21 over the course of the last two sets to clinch the win. Junior middle blocker Val Geiger contin-ued her record-setting pace, recording 22 more kills while sophomore outside hitter Michele Hammer added 21 kills. Frisina led the team with 35 digs and senior setter Corrine Ostrovsky added a team-leading 50 assists. Chapman was dominant from start to finish against the Redlands Bulldogs (5-13, 2-8 SCIAC), winning each set by five or more points. “We had two really good practices after losing to Occidental,” Frisina said. These practices helped Chapman refocus and prepare for Redlands. “Last time we played them, our crowd was really rowdy,” Frisina said. “Their coach was not happy about that and made a big stink. We wanted to prove that we could go into their gym and win 3-0, and that’s what we did.” Chapman really brought the hammer down in the second and third sets, win-ning 25-17 and 25-16 respectively. Gieger led the team in kills once more, with 18, bringing her season total to 388 and ever closer to the Chapman record of 440. Sitting in second place in SCIAC, Chap-man still has its sights set on first place. “We are extremely motivated,” Erdhal said. “When we play hard, we are at our best, and when we are at our best, we can win SCIAC.” Chapman will hit the road to battle Cla-remont (15-3, 5-3 SCIAC) on Tuesday for its only game of the upcoming week.

.. Women’s soccer climbed its way into SCIAC’s third place spot last week, defeat-ing and jumping past La Verne and Clare-mont in the standings. Chapman (8-5-1, 5-3 SCIAC) had little difficulty with its Southern California In-tercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) foes, beating La Verne 3-1 and Claremont 2-1. The Panthers began the week with a non-conference draw, tying UC Santa Cruz 1-1 in overtime. “The way our offense works, we don’t rely on one player to win the game for us,” said senior forward Val Sobol. “Everyone is playing hard and anyone on our team can win a game for us.” Chapman’s defense was stifling against La Verne (6-7-1, 3-4-1 SCIAC), holding the Leopards to one goal and four shots. Fresh-man goalkeeper Kristin Kleinow relieved usual starter junior Marissa Ferhman and played all 90 minutes in the net, surrender-ing one goal while recording three saves. “We switched from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-2-1 defense a few games ago,” Sobol said. “The change has allowed us to help each other out more when one of us gets beat.” Offensively, Sobol headed in Chapman’s opening goal off a corner kick by freshman midfielder Katie Bell in the 38th minute, and Chapman would not relinquish the lead. Sophomore midfielder Haley Feddon scored the first of her two unassisted goals six minutes into the second half, before adding an insurance goal in the 64th min-ute and giving Chapman its 3-1 lead. Chapman’s defense was dominant once again Saturday morning against Claremont (4-6-3, 3-3-2 SCIAC), holding its opponent to one goal for the fifth straight game. “Our defense has been working on win-

ing every ball in practice,” said freshman forward Rosie Kerstetter. “It is really trans-ferring into the game.” Ferhman was back in the net and re-corded two saves. “We’re playing with a lot of confidence in our defense right now,” said head coach Courtney Calderon. “We are playing much better as a team.” Chapman trailed at the half to Claremont before senior defender Aisha Elmasri scored her first goal of the year, tying the game at one. The Panthers took the lead back in the 87th minute after an unassisted goal by top scorer Kerstetter. Earlier in the week, Chapman wrapped up its nonconference schedule in a 1-1 tie with the Banana Slugs of UC Santa Cruz (7-4-2). “Our bodies were exhausted,” Sobol said. “That game was about recovering our bod-ies.” Chapman struggled to convert opportu-nities against the Slugs, turning seven shots on goal into just one score. Kerstetter assisted freshman forward Kourtney Kingsmore, who tied the game in the 77th minute to send the game into its first over time. Kleinhow started the game in the net for the Panthers, giving up the lone goal for Santa Cruz, before being pulled in favor of Ferhman following Kingsmore’s goal. Chapman continues SCIAC play this week, hosting Redlands (2-7-3, 2-4-2 SCIAC) and Whittier (1-12, 1-7 SCIAC) Oct. 16 and 19 respectively. Redlands, who defeated Chapman 1-0 in overtime Sept. 21, has been circled on the calendar since the tough loss. “We really want to get them back,” Sobol said. “We feel that we are a better team. It has been a few years since we have played them the way we should.”

After my injury I ran track for a season for fun to get me in shape for the next soccer season, but I really liked running and coaches told me I would have a better future in cross country.

2. What is your favorite TV show?“Friends,” because it is hilarious. I started watching it with my parents when I was young and I still watch it now.

3. What has been your most embarrassing moment at Chapman or while running cross country?I tripped on the first run as a team and scraped my arm and leg, which at the moment was funny.

4. What is your pregame meal of choice?Most races are in the morning, so I typically have oatmeal or a cliff bar.

5. If you had any super power, what would it be?I would control the weather, because if you can control weather, you can control other things in life.

6. If you could meet any famous person, who would it be?Emma Watson. She is talented, gorgeous and really intel-ligent.

7. What is your No. 1 thing on your bucket list to do? I want to go to the Azores, which are the islands off the coast of Portugal. My mom was born there. I also would like to run a marathon there.

8. If you could play any other sport at Chapman, what would it be? Soccer, because I miss it a lot and wish I could play it again.

9. What other activities are you involved in at Chapman? I am one of the newest members of Kappa Alpha Theta and a part of the Explore SoCal committe of University Program Board.

Chapman men’s soccer fell 3-0 to visiting Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in a tight and gritty game Saturday night, preventing the team from moving up from its current fifth-place Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Con-ference (SCIAC) standing. The Panthers (7-5-2, 5-4-1 SCIAC) came into the match riding a four-game win streak, but took the field without injured senior forward Nick Echeverry. The Stags (8-4-1, 7-2-1 SCIAC) took advantage of mental errors by the Pan-thers and recorded 11 shots on goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Nick Berardi said the defensive errors eventually cost Chapman a shot at victory.

“Their midfielders came through our defense completely unmarked,” Berardi said. “We didn’t communicate and allowed them close shots because of that.” The teams maintained a 0-0 tie for most of the first half that featured tough defense from both sides. On multiple occasions, the referee was forced to stop the game to tell players to tone down the physicality. Yet with 2:36 left in the first half, Claremont junior midfielder Joseph Romano broke through the defenders and scored on an assist from freshman defender Elijah Lichtenberg to put the Stags up 1-0. The Panthers came out of halftime with renewed energy and pushed the tempo from the start. The team had one of its best scoring opportunities when freshman midfielder Sam Rudich

pushed a free kick wide to the left. Shortly after, Chapman attempted a corner kick that left junior defender Mikey Stoddard writhing on the ground from an injury. Stoddard even-tually got up and left by his own will. However, the second half belonged to the Stags as they maintained possession and controlled the flow of the game. Relying on a tough defense that held the Panthers to only five shots, the Stags were able to repeatedly attack Chapman’s defense and capitalize on their mistakes. “We didn’t defend as a group,” said head coach Eddie Carrillo. “We need to learn to work better as a team to pick up pressure when it comes.” With 34:02 remaining, Claremont senior forward Ethan Hallberg blew through Chapman’s defense en-route to the Stags’ second goal of the night.

But they weren’t done scoring as Stags sophomore forward Hogan Mar-hoefer knocked in a controversial goal in the 73rd minute. After the goal, Chapman players screamed in protest at the referee for not allowing a substitute to come in for the injured Stoddard. “We had a sub on the line waiting to be allowed into the game and I guess the ref never saw him,” Berardi said. “It meant we only had three defenders back which never should have hap-pened.” Carrillo said that the final scoreboard didn’t reflect Chapman’s effort and that the team played a good game. The Panthers travel to last-place Caltech (0-12, 0-10 SCIAC) Wednesday and will face third-place Cal Lutheran (8-3-2, 6-2-2 SCIAC) Saturday.
