Middle class gets chance at scholarships

Speaker of the Assembly John A. Pérez has created a new bill called the Middle Class Scholarship Act, which cuts college fees for middle class families by two-thirds in Cali-fornia by closing the single sales fac-tor tax loophole for out-of-state cor-porations.

“Any student or family with an income of less than $150,000 is eli-gible. Every single one of those folks will see the price of college drop by $4,000 for a CSU or $8,200 for a UC if we pass this bill into law.” said Pérez during his speech at the Fund Our Education rally. It is estimated that community colleges would re-ceive $150 million to reduce costs for students.

Since the 2003-2004 school year, student fees at the California State University level have increased by 191 percent, from $2,046 to $5,970. Fees in the University of California system have increased 145 percent from $4,984 to $12,192.

With fees at the community col-lege level also increasing, many stu-dents are forced to take a larger fi-nancial debt and for some families, making the idea of attaining a higher level of education out of reach.

The Middle Class Scholarship Act works by closing California’s “single sales factor” loophole. As of right now, out-of-state companies get to choose their own rate for the taxes they owe in California. For compa-nies with fewer jobs in California, they receive a larger tax break.

By getting rid of the “single sales factor”, California would match tax policies of 23 other states, including Texas, New York, Michigan, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington. More re-cently Governor Chris Christie re-

moved the loophole in New Jersey. By ending this tax break that only benefits big out-of-state corporations, the enactment will bring in more than $1 billion.

Speaker John A. Pérez’s proposal is contained in two pieces of legis-lation: AB 1500 and AB 1501. AB 1500 closes the “single sales fac-tor” loophole and deposits revenue into Middle Class Scholarship Fund. AB 1501 creates the Middle Class Scholarship program and awards the appropriate scholarships to CSU and UC students as well as funding for community colleges.

“We commend Speaker Pérez on this innovative bill that invests in the accessibility and equity in our com-munity college system! Strategically, this bill gives local control to districts to address community-specific is-sues. It will encourage our districts to connect with their communities on a deeper level to address obstacles preventing students from pursuing and continuing a higher education.” said Emily Kinner, president of the California Community College Asso-ciation of Student Trustees and a De Anza College student.

In 2010, the non-partisan Legisla-tive Analyst’s Office (LAO) recom-mended closing the loophole created by that change. The report stated that the by closing the loophole it would generate $1 billion from out-of-state corporations. It went on to state, “ California has been criticized at times for having high costs of doing busi-ness. The single sales factor would reduce costs for mobile firms who sell into national or world markets and are more of a flight risk than firms who sell only onto the California market.”

The 2010 LAO report shows changing to double weighted sales from single sales would create Cali-f o r n i a

Jason Ames, Forensics coach here at Chabot, was named Coach of the Year by the North-ern California Forensics Asso-ciation (NCFA).

“I am truly grateful, and it re-ally is an honor to be recognized by my peers, and all the love and support I have received from the college and past students has been overwhelming. I’m lucky to have such amazing students who really dedicate themselves to Forensics,” Professor Ames said. “I also think that I’m fortu-nate to have such a visible pro-gram that enables me to receive recognition. There are a number of people at Chabot who deserve an award for their amazing work and the amazing teaching they do day in and day out,” he added.

The award is given out each year and is voted on by other Northern California coaches. Professor Ames said that some of the struggles the Forensics Team faces are time and money.

“We simply don’t have enough resources to take the team to all the tournaments we want to go to, and trying to bal-ance students’ lives, their work schedules, and the demands of Forensics can be challenging.” Professor Ames added that he thinks the team does a great job of overcoming these struggles, mainly because they understand how rewarding Forensics can be for them.

“One of the great things about Forensics is you have a lot of smart people talking about a lot of smart, interesting, and important ideas and concepts. This year,

With the coming fall semes-ter, the wait is finally over for Chabot’s newest class available, Law and Democracy.

Approved last semester, the Law and Democracy program, according to Mr. William Hanson one of its instructors, is one of the only kinds of its program in the nation for community colleges.

According to Mr. Hanson, “The class is a cross listed class where you get credit in both po-litical science and administra-tive justice. It is one of the, if not the first team taught class here on Chabot’s campus.” Pre-requisites for the class include either introduction to adminis-tration of justice or introduction to political science.

The class will be taught in conjunction by both Mr. Han-son, and political science teacher Dr. Sara Parker, who have been meeting every Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. to discuss the class and issues that they plan to go over in the class.

“We want to make sure that we are always up to date and dis-cussing up to date issues in the class,” Mr. Hanson said of the foundation of the class.

The class will also feature unique class times. “On Tues-day there will be one large dis-cussion with both teachers and on Thursday there will be four small discussion groups,” de-scribed Mr. Hanson. “I will have a primary responsibility for those in administrative justice and Dr. Parker will be responsi-ble for those in political science. We will rotate with those groups, so those students can get a dose from both sides of the matter.”

As anticipated as the class is, both teachers understand that it is their first semester and they can only expect so much.

“I am excited and I hope the campus is excited,” said Dr. Parker. “I do understand that I can only expect so much, which is why Mr. Hanson and I have been recruiting former students of ours to take the class so they can help get the word out.”

To get more information on the class, email Mr. Hanson at whanson@chabotcollege.edu or Dr. Parker at sparker@chabotcol-lege.edu. Email the writer at jakey-poo@thechabotspectator.com.

On Thursday May 10, writer, scholar and BBC correspondent Joanne Griffith is on campus to discuss her recent book from noon until 2pm in room 301.

Joanne Griffith has been traveling throughout the nation promoting the book and has had several appearances in the Bay Area.

Joanne Griffith’s ca-reer is one of storytelling and sharing tales of the known and the anony-mous worldwide.

Following the historic U.S. presidential election of 2008, Joanne was ap-proached to put her skills to use for a new collabora-tion between the Pacifica Radio Archives and City Lights Books.

The result is her first book, “Rede-fining Black Power: Reflections on the State of Black America.”

According to http://joannegriffith.net/, Griffith is also a journalist and likes creating an atmosphere of trust, which is key to any event where open, honest and thoughtful dialog is the ob-jective.

Joanne’s skills as a storyteller, mod-erator and discussion moderator on sub-jects ranging from race relations and gender politics to diversity and the pace of history in the contemporary conver-sation are much sought after.

Griffith’s book is about the Obama presidency and how it represents a ma-jor milestone in black history and the struggle for political, economic and

cultural equality in the United States, but has the first black presidency helped move things forward for people of col-or?

The result of the book is a rich and wide-ranging exploration of the hot button issues facing African Ameri-cans today from religion , law and media to education and the economy to every shifting meaning of Obama’s contributions and impact. The book features Van Jones, Michelle Alax-ander , Julianne Malveaux, Vincent Harding , Ramona Africa , Esther Armah and Linn Washington Jr. (http://www.citylights.com/book).

At Chabot on Thursday, Griffith will host an afternoon discussion on the Obama presidency and conversation surround-ing race and race relations in America, as we head into the 2012 presidential election.

This event will look back on some of the Black power and civil rights leaders who paved the way, via audio from the historic Pacific ra-dio Archives, this is a free event and all are welcome.

Other events from Griffith this week: Saturday May 12th 6:30-8pm in Oakland, CA; Marcus Books. Griffith will have a special open forum event designed with Bay Area youth in mind.

What are your thoughts on the way the Trayvon Martin case being handled? What are the issues that concern young people in your community? The floor is yours from 6:30-8pm .

Bring your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles for an evening of open dialog and community building. For more information on this event you can call 510-652-2344.

tax payments at 8.84 percent for California based firms from $176,800 for single sales to $442,000 for double weighted. For out-of-state firms the California tax payment at 8.84 percent sin-gle sales $123, 760 to $79,560 for double weighted discouraging risky flight corporations and promoting investing in California.

In 2011, Governor Brown stated on closing the single sales loophole that this is, “A critical step in making sure the state does everything it can to support local job creation.”

At the California State University level it is estimated that 150,000 students will receive the Middle Class Scholarship and save $4,000 per year resulting in students paying only $1,970 per year of the $5,970 system wide fees.

For the University of California level, it is estimated that ap-proximately 42,000 students will receive the Middle Class Schol-arship and save up to $8,169 per year resulting in UC students paying $4,023 per year of the $12,192 system wide fees.

For most middle income families who are not awarded aid, these students will have to rely more and more on students loans to cover fee hikes. These loans have high interest rates, which put students more in debt and place a large financial bur-den once they graduate, consequently to spend a large amount of their earning in out of state banks.

With the Middle Class Scholarship it is estimated student fees will be slashed to below 2003-2004 levels and below 1992-1993 levels adjusted for inflation.

For the Middle Class Scholarship Act to pass and the sin-gles sales factor law modified, will takes a two-thirds vote of the Legislature with at least four Republican Legislators to support the plan.

Over the year’s tuition for higher education institutions has steadily increased from fee hikes to budget cuts, as more stu-dents/returning students feel the pinch and turn to loans. As a community it is our responsibility to see to it that we ensure last-ing financial aid to secure our education and that of our children. The cost of education should not be a hindrance for those seeking to better their lives nor drive them deeper into debt disparity.

I learned about a solar powered suitcase, the power of protest for the women’s movement, and a lot about Chi-na,” Ames said.

“Also I’ve learned a lot of patience and to have fun. There are some things you can control, but there are so many other things you can’t control. You have to learn the ‘controllables’, and try to manage everything else.”

Professor Ames also said he believes that Forensics is, “One of the most life-changing programs on the campus!”

When asked about Jason’s award, team member Bi-anca Contreras said, “Unlike other schools, Chabot un-fortunately doesn’t have the luxury to have many coach-es and/or assistant coaches. Not only does Jason make himself available to everyone on the team but each ses-sion is personalized.”

Contreras also emphasized how much Ames cared, even in moments of stress. “Even in chaos such as been delayed at an airport for 5 hours Jason made it his priority to make sure we were all taken care of and safe.”

Contreras continued, saying, “I wish everyone could have a chance to work with Jason, I’ve had great instruc-tors, directors, and coaches but none have ever been more deserving that Jason.”

A window into different culturesOn Tuesday, May 1, 2012, the Chabot College International Club held its 13th annual “International Night” in room 702.

It was the biggest event of the year for the International Club. Currently their club members are Chabot students from over 30 countries in the world. According to the event emcee Allen Lin, “Tonight’s event is our way of sharing our cultures with our American hosts. I think it’s a good way to share the same philosophy of promoting global understanding and acceptance through dance and music.”

International Club President Sophie Sojoung Kwak, Korean, is planning this International night since Feburary, 2012. Kwak said, “Due to the budget cut this year, we [wanted] to cancel the event, but I insisted on doing this because I think it is important; it is our tradition.

“We invited many performers from many countries, and prepared different foods from different countries.” Kwak added: “ The purpose of this event is to unite the International students at Chabot College, and introduce each culture.”

The event was $5 to enter. The dinner buffet started at 6:30 p.m. in the event center of building 700. Some of performers were from the community, and others were current or former students of Chabot College and Las Positas Colleges.

The first performer was “Heiwa Taiko” representing Japanese culture. “Taiko” is an ancient Japanese drumming used to notify villages of emergency and battle, but Taiko is also played at festivals and celebrations. The average age of the players was 72 years old, and the oldest one, Molly Kitajima, is 87 years old. They are a group of retired people who love to play Taiko.

After their performance, audiences were invited to go on the stage to play Taiko with the players.

The next performers were two girls, Mercy Uche and Grace Ekeoma from Las Positas College representing their country of Nigeria through dance. Jorge Loo Cheng from China then performed the Yang-style of Tai Chi. Hiraku Mihin performed Japanese Iaido. Lawrence Witkoswki and Jessica Hsu from Las Positas College performed a traditional Latin salsa dance.

If you are interested in the International Club, they have regular meetings every other Thursday in room 504. Their next event will be an International movie night in the fall semester.

On Sunday, June 24, the Chabot College Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) will be marching in San Francisco’s annual Gay Pride Parade, which has been going since 1972.

The parade begins at 10:30 A.M. from the intersection of Beale and Market St., ending somewhere around 2:30 in the afternoon at Market and Eighth Street. Near the end of the parade, judging will be set for the Absolutely Fabulous Awards.

The eight contests will be: absolutely fabulous o v e r a l l , a b s o l u t e l y fabulous individual who embodies the spirit of Pride, absolutely fabulous street act, absolutely outrageous, absolutely fabulous visiting contingent (group from outside the Bay Area), abso lu t e ly f abu lous musical contingent, and the absolutely fabulous theme contingent - which group best incorporates the year’s theme.

The absolutely fabulous marching contingent (just walking, without floats) is a category that the Chabot College GSA was awarded last year.

This year’s Pride theme is global equality. Chabot’s float will be a heart-shaped globe, with continents in gold and national flags from around the world on top of it. (See mock up below.)

It will be made out of paper mache and fabric by the students themselves, who have the work in progress at a student’s

home. Former Chabot student Dayne, lending his home to the project, has been helping the GSA make floats and march in the parade for many years.

Each member o f the group will also be dressed in the colors of their choosing. Currently, countries represented by student dressing in cultural garb will be Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Scotland and the USA.

Members of Chabot’s GSA are excitedly looking forward to show their colors in this year’s parade. “This is my first year actually going to be in the Pride Parade, it’s really a marker in my fully coming out, so it will be a great experience for me personally,” shared GSA member Joseph Rodriguez

For Chabot GSA president Angela Dunn, “It means bringing awareness to just about everyone, especially for Chabot College … that we’re actually an active club, and we’re doing stuff and putting our names out there and of course the general pride of being proud of who you are.”

The Active Dreamers Club of Chabot College recently played a short film called “Stories of Un-documented Youth”, which spoke on the immigration injustices in America today, specifically to-wards students who have grown up in America and aspire for col-lege and other accomplishments.

“There’s not just one face of what undocumented looks like,” said Pedro Reynoso, Chabot li-brary faculty. “There is diversity in the group, a lot of these stu-dents who graduate from high school are struggling in differ-ent ways because either they don’t know how to find informa-tion or they still fear that they are undocumented.”

The film presented examples of the immigration situation through these young individuals: Monica, a bubbly high school teenager; Jorge, a homosexual college student; Juan, a strug-gling young man; Simone, a Ja-maican college student; and Yo Sub, a successful Chinese high school student – all are undocu-mented immigrants.

Monica represents the typical American teenager. She likes fash-ion, enjoys going out, has a boy-friend and is unsure of what she wants to do with her life career-wise. She says she doesn’t feel like an immigrant and is unsure of how being undocumented is going to af-fect her life.

Jorge is another typical Ameri-can, whose own tribulations helped build the man he has become. He recognized early on in his life that

he is homosexual, due to this; he knew he had to stand up for him-self – despite anyone else’s wishes, including his parents’. His experi-ences with his personal choices taught him to stay true to himself, his way of overcoming adversity and remaining happy.

Juan represents the struggle of an undocumented immigrant without a strong education. He speaks of having to mature quickly because of his father leaving him and his mother at a young age.

Yo Sub, a Chinese undocumented

citizen, represents the supremely suc-cessful high school student who was denied from nearly every college he applied to, due to his illegal status.

“In 2050 you’re going to have the vast majority be Latinos and you have a generation of well, in-telligent students, graduating from college and what are they going to be able to do with their degree?” Santizo described further.

“Undocumented students are the same as any other person. The only thing that stands be-tween them is a piece of paper, literally,” described an Active

Dreamers club leader, Kayla Santizo. “So I hope that people understand that these are our classmates, these are your co-workers, these are our friends – because at the end of the day, it really comes down to you being human and it’s your right.”

According to the film, 60,000 students graduate high schools every year that are classified ille-gal citizens; while 5 million chil-dren in the U.S. have at least one parent who is undocumented.

Every person who lives in the United States has a right to the Fourth or Fifth Amendment regardless of whether you were born in the United States.

There are many people who live in Amer-ica who do not know the rights of these amendments, which are key factors in our everyday life.

San Francisco Immigration Lawyer Fir-ouzeh Foroutan came to Chabot College last Thursday to talk to a crowd of students in the Chabot Library building on the topic of “knowing your rights.”

Knowing the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their per-sons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

As well as the Fifth Amendment: “No per-son shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a pre-sentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be

compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, lib-erty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

Foroutan shared with the students who at-tended the event that she was an immigrant from India and understood there issues very well.

“We have rights even if we are undocu-mented, people incriminate themselves.” said Foroutan.

She explained about the belief that when ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforce-ment) agents go to people’s houses door to door, many don’t know what to do and due to the panic they go through they end up co-operating with ICE even though they do not need to cooperate.

One Detail that Foroutan added was that, “ICE can’t open the door without a warrant,”

but sadly expressed that, “the fact is most of the houses immigration enforcement go to usually people open the door.” In a time of an incident like that, the first thing you do is to not say anything until you see a lawyer. “You keep saying I have the right to remain silent until you’re blue.” said Foroutan.

Foroutan also discussed how ICE agents will try to find anything suspicious about you and try to use that against you, that being the way you might talk or even the clothes you are wearing.

“I got pulled over for having a rosario (ro-sary) in my rearview mirror”, shared Karina Lara with the crowd, a student of Chabot.

This is showing us that the measures are now getting out of proportion. Diego Cortez, a student at Chabot also shared a helpful web-site called E4FC.org where in this website you can submit your case if you have one against ICE and they help you free of charge.

At the end of the discussion Foroutan gave out red cards with the rights that undocument-ed people and people in general have. If you would like to receive a red card you can go to redcard.iorc.org to obtain one. You can even get up to 500 absolutely free of charge.

“Spread the word about these rights,” said Foroutan. As you can educate those and remind those of the rights we have here in America even if you are not documented.

Exercising your Fourth and Fifth Amendment rightsBy Sergio AlmodovAr

“Stories of Documented Youth” speaks on injustice

As we all know, Cinco de Mayo was last Saturday, and with that many of us are still recovering from a hangover.

This holiday impacts mostly where there are many Hispanics, such as California, Arizona, Chicago etc. But, why do we celebrate Cinco de Mayo rather than September 16, which is Mexico’s independence day?

As Mexican as I am, and proud of it, I could not understand the significance that this date had. To me, it has lost its true meaning.

I just see advertisers and commercials benefit from this holiday by appealing to the Latino audience. As well as being an excuse to party.

This made me question, why do we not celebrate Sept. 16?

Of course my first answer was obviously because this is not Mexico. But then I would ask myself, if this is not Mexico, then why do we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, if its not an American holiday, or is it?

When I lived in Mexico, I never once celebrated Cinco de Mayo. It is not celebrated in Mexico, like in the U.S.; no stores close down early on this particular day. The people who remember this day and commemorate it are the people in Puebla, where the battle took place.

As I read an article about the roots of this day on CNN.com, I came across the new findings of what Cinco de Mayo has to do with the Civil War and why

it’s only celebrated here. Professor of the University of

California, David Hayes-Bautista came across the answer through vast amounts of research he had recently done through old newspapers of the 1800’s.

His findings concluded that

Hispanics living in the U.S. were very tentative towards the war in Mexico and the Civil war. Hayes-Bautista explains, “I’m seeing how in the minds of the Spanish-reading public in California that they were basically looking at one war with two fronts, one against the Confederacy in the east and the other against the French in the south.”

He also added “In Mexico today, Cinco de Mayo means the Mexican army defeated the French army. In California and Oregon, the news was interpreted as finally that the army of freedom and democracy won a big one against the army of slavery and elitism.”

He continued. “And the fact that those two armies had to meet in Mexico was immaterial because they were fighting for the same issues -- defending freedom and democracy. Latinos were joining the Union army, Union cavalry, Union navy.”

Never the less, the celebration of this holiday in the U.S. was due to a network of Latinos called, “Juntas patrioticas mejicanas” (Mexican patriotic assemblies).

This juntas celebrated Cinco de Mayo monthly with parades, speeches, banquets, dances and bull fights as a memorable builder for Lincoln and Mexican President, Benito Juarez, as said by cnn.com.

The tradition was then celebrated by teaching the coming generations of this day. Veterans of the Union and Mexican army would put on their uniforms and give speeches of this memorable day every year.

Like I said, I’m proud of being Mexican and I’m proud for the victory we had that day, but the way this day is utilized has made many think it is a fake holiday since many are not familiar with the entire history of this day.

The battle of Puebla was fought in 1862 between Mexico and France. France lost 460 men in the battle and Mexico lost 83 men.

Cafeteria or Taco truck

How do you concentrate on your work if your stomach is louder than your teacher?

Well we all know that if you want food and you want it now you have two choices: the cafeteria in building 2300 or the food truck in between the performing arts center and building 1600.

Of course, you could always go across the street to Jack in the Box but that’s too much walking. So which one do you go to? Which one is better to eat at? Has the better service? Prices? And which has the better food.

Well, the cafeteria has some good food no doubt, I mean long lines throughout the week can’t lie, neither can many students who daily use the cafeteria for its food and convenience, but with cafeteria food, there comes a high cost.

There are a few students who have basically refused the cafeteria in general unless they are on the verge of starvation because it is too expensive. One being Nicole Torres who said “$1.20 for one apple? That’s outrageous!”

Student Sabrina Mele added “This chick charges $1.50 for one bagel while others charge less, she’s been overcharging all semester!”

On the other side of the school is the Taco truck. There are not many times that they have fruit, but the prices are less and the food is great. The burritos are only $3.50 while in the cafeteria they are $3.75 plus the charge for extra toppings.

Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate at the Taco truck are $0.50 cents while in the cafeteria they are $1.50.

The only extra charge you pay with the taco truck is walking a few extra feet.

Cafeteria hell no! Taco truck let’s go! Just sayin’.

Stressing over Finals?By sophia sChMagolD

STAFF WRITTER

The semester is about to end and we all are excited for our long and deserved summer break.

But before we can start to relax there is one more burden we students have to attend; final exams, The Olympics of College. Everybody deals with this differently. But one thing is clear; this is pure pressure for everyone.

This is the most stressful time for students. Some people make study schedules, some pull an all-nighter right before the test and some people just don’t study at all. But how is the best way to deal with this issue of pure stress with a side of pressure?

The answer is easy. It varies from person to person. I have spent a high number of years in school and I tried it all. Starting early enough, reading the whole book the night before, making a schedule, attending study groups, taking tutoring lessons and even resigning completely from studying.

But fact is, it depends on the subject and on the people themselves on how to studyThere are four different study types:

The additive type: This type needs to hear whatever they have to memorize. Reading out loud and having somebody read it to you will help your brain memorize. This is helpful when you want to learn another language, because self-study programs offer audio CD’s to listen to.

The visual type: The person needs to see whatever he wants to eternalize

in his brain; you basically need to read something to remember.

The haptic type: Haptic is the sense of touch, meaning that whatever you need to know you have to touch. This study type comes in handy for carpenters or any kind of builders and fixers. The haptic type will have a hard time studying from books but there is a hope: flashcards. With flashcards you basically touch the knowledge you have to memorize.

The cognitive type: People like this study without even knowing. They read something once, and are able to memorize it. They hear something they find interesting and it won’t slip their mind any time soon.

The last type is obviously the most desirable type to be, but a person is not only one type. Take me for example. With regular difficult stuff, I am a mix of the visual and the additive type, I write down notes to remember and read them over and over.

I read my notes out loud and have another person quiz me on it, so I actually hear the answers.

Once you find out for yourself what study type you are, you will have a much easier time remembering the important things from all your classes. Besides the studying, it is more than important that you try and relax your brain after a certain period of time (90 minutes for me) for about 10 minutes. play the guitar to relax.

I wish everyone the best for the finals and a great summer to relax after we were exposed to all the pressure! Enjoy!

OPINION

As I walk the campus of Chabot College on my own educational journey, every now and then certain stu-dents catch my eye.

The majority of Chabot’s student body are recent high school gradu-ates. But what is a student? As Webster’s Dictionary defines it: an attentive and systematic observer.

After reflecting on my own days immediately following high school, I was unsure of my future. I wasn’t apart of the fast track crowd. My future was not clearly etched in stone.

As I reminisce, my fo-cus turns to the students I see Monday through Thurs-day walking the campus of Chabot.

Why did they come to Chabot? Have they real-ized high school is a defin-ing marker, in that; high school can be the highlight of their educational lives? Or are they at Chabot for less scholarly reasons? Fi-nancial gains? Find a girl-friend? A boyfriend?

As I converse with stu-dents on the Chabot campus, I find the quality of their conversation is obvious of their commitment to their chosen goals. So, what are students talking about these days as they shuffle off to class? There are two sides to this discussion.

Maybe they discuss the day’s lecture notes or how important it is if they work as a group to solve the professor’s mathematical challenge.

On the other hand, they could be discussing sub-jects pertaining to their boy-friend or girlfriend, figuring out how to get more grant money this semester to buy the latest tech toy? Maybe they’re texting the latest rumor and gossip? I had no idea what a conversation with a Chabot College stu-dent would be until…

Last semester I met a young student getting lunch in the school’s cafeteria. I say there was nothing spe-cial about this student be-cause there is nothing spe-cial about me. She was not a beautiful, nor was she the other. She, was, as I see all persons, herself.

Paying for our lunch-es, lead to small talk. We talked mostly about her major, her ideas and dreams. This student had a clear hold on the world and where she stood in it. As we talked, I was taken in by the variety of topics she referred and how eas-ily she executed her ideas.

During my conversa-tion with this student, I discovered that she could carry a conversation be-yond five minutes, with-out popping out a tech de-vice or needing a cigarette break. We sat and talked on local, city and global issues.

It is sad commentary of today’s youth who ap-pear to be getting an edu-cation to learn. Many stu-dents on this campus are either, unprepared to, and incapable of, holding a five-minute current event conversation, on any-thing, other than what’s

happening in their own world, and that says mountains about our ed-ucation system.

Students today are so easily sidetracked by money, ego, technology, reality television shows, and themselves that get-ting an education beyond the level that is mandat-ed that they don’t really bother with homework assignments. As they say: out-of-site (class-room) out-of-mind.

What are you doing here at Chabot?By KhaDijah ForD

STAFF WRITER

TEchnology In SporTSSports, like a lot of things in life that bring out the emotion in people, is facing a dilemma of epic proportions.

How much technology do we want in it?

As technological advances cont inue to improve human imperfections, there are certain advances that fascinate us, while also making us uncomfortable. Human cloning, genetic engineering and nuclear technology all make us wary, but if used properly, these things have the potential to improve all mankind.

That is how advancements in sports are; if used properly, they have the ability to improve the respective sport. But used too recklessly, would elongate sporting events and completely remove the human element.

The NFL was the first major sport to use any form of instant replay when in 1999 they put in place a challenge system in which the head coach could demand a replay by tossing a red flag onto the field. This system has been extremely successful for the NFL and has brought on calls for other sports to have some form of instant replay.

However, there are many issues that must be dealt with before all sports bring on the instant replay. Many sports have to deal with the difference between subjective calls and objective calls.

In football for example, you can challenge whether or not a player actually caught the ball or whether or not they had two feet in bounds because those decisions can be easily verified by replay.

On the other hand, in baseball while there are plays that can and should be verified by instant replay, such as whether the ball was fair or

foul, but conversely there is a huge part of the game that is dictated by human opinion.

However, there are many people who believe that sports are in dire need of technology. “Technology in sports is past due. Some sports like football and hockey have adapted to times and implemented technology through instant replay. The sports in dire need for technology are baseball and soccer,” said Eliaser Hernandez.

“In the last world cup qualifying round we saw a country like Ireland get eliminated because of an unfair play, and in baseball we saw a pitcher miss out on a perfect game in the last play of the game by a missed call. I ask the leaders of these sports to make the change and help these sports become better for all.” said Eliaser Hernandez.

FIFA has recently decided to put in goal line technology, which would help referees determine

whether or not the ball has crossed the goal line, in a few live matches.

“I think technology is a must because a lot of little mistakes have been made with the refs, and in soccer they have at most 3 referees, usually 2 linemen and one in the center and it’s a really quick sport they can’t really catch all the mistakes that the players are making and the offside or corner kicks and little things like that really effect the outcome of the game or say in a really big tournament like the world cup.” said Andrea Preciado.

There are many different views about how much technology should be in sports and honestly there is no way to know what is right and what is wrong, but the world is always advancing and as long as we properly regulate technology there is no reason not to have it in our lives or in our sports.
