NUMBER ONE: The Irvine Valley College Forensics Team shows awards from March 23-25 Tournament.
Irvine Valley College’s Speech and Debate Team won two national titles at a tournament that took place from March 23 to the 25 at the University of Pacific. The speech and debate team of 20 students and 10 coaches were awarded the titles “2013 National Champion of Two Year College Tournament Sweepstakes” and “2013 National Champion of Two Year College Season Sweepstakes.” The tournament was held by the National Parliamentary Debate Association (NPDA) in which both two-year and four-year colleges attended. According to the NPDA’s official website IVC was awarded the “National Champion of Two Year College Season Sweepstakes” based on the team’s
121.42 cumulative points they received from a combination of four tournaments. Amongst the 197 two-year and four-year colleges that attended, the team placed sixth overall. “We teach public speaking here differently than anybody in the country,” Forensics Coach Gary Rybold said. “Which means doing a lot more speeches, having a lot more small groups and getting a lot more student engagement.” Rybold attributes much of the team’s success to the numerous amounts of practice each student receives in the program. The coaches yearn for all students’ communication skills to improve as well as their overall personnel. “We focus on life skills,” Director of IVC’s Forensics Edwin Tiongson said. “It’s about presenting [the students] and

Saddleback and Irvine Valley Colleges had already been working on trying to deal with the bottleneck courses before the California Senate Senate President Pro Tem Darl Steinberg’s Senate Bill 520 was proposed to the California Senate on March 13. Senate Bill 520 is proposing to enforce University of California, California State University and California Community College systems to give class credit to approved online course providers to help clear the impacted classes. Steinberg is proposing the budget of $10 million to the UC’s and CSU’s and putting $16.9 million toward Califor-
nia Community Colleges towards this online education proposal. According to Dr. Kathy Werle, dean of Academic Programs at Irvine Valley College, these impacted classes would not be occurring if the Senate issued more money to the schools. “We have been working out this problem for a long time,” Werle said. “In the context of the budget
have been working on numerous of solutions to help with the impacted classes, even before the new Senate Bill was proposed. One solution they are proposing is to try to build a student-centered schedule. This will allow students to plan ahead the classes they need after they take their assessment tests. Through this, they can see the

IVC currently offers approximately 10 percent of their courses online. “We offer 15 percent of our classes at Saddleback online,” President of Academic Senate Bob Cosgrove said. “[This is] one of the highest in the state.” Werle said that pieces from senate bill 520 already fit into what they are currently working on. “We are both colleges working to make sure that students get through our programs,” Werle said. “There’s a lot of motivation to do that outside the bills accountability.” Senate Bill SB520 is currently being proposed and amended in the Senate.

Bruce Gilman, chairman of the Student Success Committee, revealed a list of six proposals which would put Saddleback on track to reaching the many academic improvements specified in the Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act during last week’s Academic Senate meeting. The Student Success Committee, formed in October of 2012, aims to localize and focus the suggested changes from the Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act to best fit Saddleback. State Senate Bill 1456, approved by Governor Brown in September of 2012, allowed for the creation of the Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act, which “targets state resources on core matriculation services that research has shown to be critical in increasing the ability of students to reach their academic and career goals.” (Seymour-Campbell Sec. 5. 78211.5). During his presentation,Gilman defined student success as sanctioned by the Student Success Committee-“At Saddleback, successful students define, pursue, and achieve their educational goals. A collaborative effort between all individuals in the college community actively engages students,

In each booth, employers will also be able to talk about job opportunities related to your field of major. There will be another booth provided by the career center to critique your resume. The Career and Technical education program from IVC will also have a booth to educate the students about their different certificate programs. “We are hoping that the student turn out will be good for this one, because we are only having one,”
Kay McDonald, Career Center Project Specialist said. “I hope they take advantage of this opportunity. In the future we are hoping to do a fair once a semester.” Walk-ins are allowed during the event, but McDonald does suggest students who are interested in talking to the employers to dress appropriately by wearing either a suit or dark jeans and a nice shirt. A representative from Mary Kay will also be available to do makeovers. To help prepare students for this event, McDonald is holding orientation sessions on April 16 and 18 at 1 p.m. In these sessions they will go over what to expect from the career fair, how to write your resume, tips on how to present your self and to help come up with your thirty-second pitch for the employers. You can RSVP for these orientation sessions by emaling kmcdonald18@ivc.edu. If you cannot make it to the orientation sessions, you can also make an appointment with the career center. This event is open not only to IVC students, but also to Saddleback students and the public. vfregoso.lariat@gmail.com

2 LIFE The man and a hose: Art or controversy?

Students speak out about the photo series that includes a man and a hose, located on level one of the LRC. Kris tine M a r t i n e z

A picture series involving a man with a hose is located on level one of the Library Resource Center (LRC) at the Saddleback campus. The series has served as a controversial subject as many students attempt to depict the meaning behind it and determine whether or not it should be up for display. In an informal survey conducted by the Lariat, 21 out of 25 Saddleback students said they found the images to be disturbing. “I immediately think of death and suicide,” Jared Ward, 22, kinesiology major, said. Although some stdents felt otherwise. “I don’t really see how it’s controversial, I see a lot of art that has the same context as this but isn’t shown in schools,” Matt Pence, 21, art history major, said. The first picture in the series (top left), consist of two hands griping the hose near the nozzle. Pouring from the nozzle is a substance which carries down to the picture below. The hose manages to wraps its way to the right towards the second picture (top right), where it tightly coils around two ankles of an unknown body. From the legs the hose makes its way down to the next picture (bottom right) in which it wraps around a person’s neck that

The hose then continues to the left into the last picture of the series (bottom left), in which the hose reaches the beginning of the faucet. A man’s hand is placed on top of the faucet as he stands directly next to it with a substance, from the top left picture,
pouring over his head. “The whole thing put together makes it special,” Nasir Faryabi, 23, engineering and chemistry major, said. Some students viewed the artistic quality in the photographs. “I suppose the man is using the hose as a metaphor for life. If you tie yourself up with too many things you could harm yourself,” Jeff Tscoumangos, 21, undecided, said. “You need to water the plants gradually over time, not just pile it all at once or the plant could possibly perish.” There were also students who found the series intresting, although unsettling. “Considering what just happened with the Syed case, I don’t think that the school should be portraying any images that could reflect harm or suicide,” Kristen Holt, 19, psychology major said. “The school should be more respecting in that aspect.” Out of the 21 students that found the series to be disturbing, 18 thought that the images should be taken down. “I think these three look cool [top two and bottom left photo], but I just don’t like this one,” Alexa Thavorn, 20, health science major, said as she pointed the picture with man disguised by a sack. “To me this is disturbing because I’m a happy person and that just kind of freaks me out.” Many students agreed that the series would be more artistic and appropriate for school grounds if the man with a sack over his head was removed from the series. Who created this series? Why was it created? What were the intensionts? The series belongs to the Saddleback Photography department but the motives and meaning behind them remain anonymous as no one has taken ownership of the four controversial photos.

Review: Nothing On Noises Off!
ANIBAL SANTOS A&E Editor
anibal santos/ lariat
HOLD IT!: The director, Llyod (bottom right) played by Terry Christoper, questions the poor timing of his actors, Vicki (top right) played by Lindsey Brehm and Freddie (center) played by Hayden Lane. The play is a parody of the common problems actors face during rehearsal.
ANIBAL SANTOS A&E Editor
“Noises Off” takes place in the 1980’s during the last hours of practice before the cast of the sex comedy, “Nothing On” makes their matinee premier. The conflict and entertaining side is that the cast is terribly mismatched and is not prepared for the play, which is hours away from premiering. Each character is different and brings their issues with them on stage: Dotty playing Mrs. Clackett is forgetful, Garry playing Roger stutters his lines, Brooke playing Vicki is inexperience in theater and
Philip playing Frederick lacks courage and is slightly arrogant. The other cast of characters include: ambitious director, Lloyd, elderly actor, Selsdon who may be drinking backstage and the kind, but oversensitive stage assistant, Poppy. “Hold it, hold it, hold it and God said hold it!” Lloyd the Director said. “I’m starting to think how God felt when he was creating the world.” Besides forgetting lines, the cast has to also deal with doors that don’t open, missing props as well as love triangles, which add chaos to the play. During Act One, the cast of “Nothing On” are amusingly unprepared. Llyod’s huge ego and demanding personality doesn’t help the production, but add to the growing production problems. Throughout much of the per-
formance, the cast seen running up and down the prop stage with doors opening and slamming shut. The activity on the stage is extremely kinetic, but well paced. In Act Two, the audience gets to see a new perspective to the play. The stage is rotated around allowing the audience to get a different perspective to the play. The ability to see the backstage antics of the characters as they struggle and physically fight among themselves to perform is what helps make, “Noises Off,” an entertaining play. After a shocking discovery at the end of Act Two, the actors are faced with the result of the play’s future as the last days of the play come to a close. In Act Three, the actors are burnt out and tired from performing the play. The play and
the backstage drama has tired the actors and it begins showing onstage for all to see creating more problems for the cast of “Nothing On.” The ability to see the backstage antics of the characters as they struggle and physically fight among themselves to perform is what help make, “Noises Off,” an entertaining play to experience. “I loved the play, I thought that pacing was great and the performance was hilarious,” said Amanda Picard, 19, theater arts. “Noises Off” will be showing April 10 to the 13 at 8 p.m. in IVC’s Performing Arts Center. Matinee shows will be held on April 7 and 14 at 2 p.m.

The Saddleback Steamroller WoodBlock Party is rolling onto campus on Friday, April 19 at 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the fine arts and theater division. This is the second year the event is being organized by the printmaking department. “We did it for the first time last year and the students enjoyed it so much that we decided to do it again,” said printmaking instructor Vanita Voogd. “What I have is for the students to make large carved wood blocks and then they will be inked on the day of the event. They will be then printed on large sheets of paper using the steam roller which is a road roller to press down the asphalt onto the roads.” Voogd was inpsired by the etching press rollers in the print studio; however, the class will be using a three-ton steam roller for creating art. “I thought it would be a fun event for students to do outside of the classroom and for the community to see as well to see what printmakers do to create artwork,” said Voogd. The Steamroller Woodblock Party will also include additional activities like custom t-shirt printing, woodblock carving, educational stations, a student print sale and food trucks. “It’s so much fun,” said printmaking student Sandra Babayan. “We did it last year and we got such a good response.” Babayan will have her art prints featured in the print sale. Babayan will also provide the plate which will be used to be printed by the steamroller. The event will feature stations which will allow anyone the opportunity to try printmaking. Free art woodblocks will also be available for guest to try printmaking for themselves. “I hope people will come out and enjoy our event because it’s fun and it’s really good learning experience as you see art out in the streets, “ said Voogd. “It’s a really good exposure to art and see what printmakers are doing.” The Saddleback WoodBlock Party is free and open to everyone on April 19 in the fine arts and theater division.

Rustlers outlast Gauchos Se an Byrne
Staff Writer
The Saddleback College baseball team ran out of steam on Thursday as they dropped the conference matchup to the Golden West Rustlers 6-5 in extra innings. The game started out in what seemed to be like another gem thrown by the Gauchos top pitcher, Evan Manarino. Throughout the first six innings Manarino only gave up two hits and only one run. The Rustlers put the first run of the game up on the board in the fourth inning, but the Gauchos struck back in the bottom of the inning to tie the game. An RBI single from second baseman Jeff Butler gave the Gauchos the lead in the fifth inning. A sacrifice fly from shortstop Josh Fuentes gave Saddleback a 3-1 lead through five innings. The Rustlers managed to tie the game again in the seventh inning, but the Gauchos responded by plating two more runs in their turn at bat. With Manarino now out of the game, Seth Pederson comes in to take his place. Even with the Rustlers constantly being sucked back behind the Gauchos after they tie the game every time, they still didn’t give up. The eighth inning saw the Gauchos commit two errors, one an overthrow to first base from Pederson and a wild throw home from right field, and this resulted in bringing
the lead down to one. “We let them right back in the game after we took the lead,” Coach Sommer McCartney said after the game. With no action from the Gauchos in the bottom of the eighth, the Rustlers came in clutch during the ninth inning to make sure they weren’t leaving just yet. Anthony Shew came into the game for the Gauchos with a one run lead. A double play would end the game and give the Gauchos another win and out them closer to being number one in the Orange Coast Conference. An errant pickoff attempt by Shew led to the runner on first advancing to third on the error. Now with only one out and a man on third the Gauchos were then at the risk of not closing out the game. Batter Soloman then popped up to center field to bring home the tying run. The inning ended shortly after that, but the damage was done and the Gauchos had to try and win the game at the bottom of the ninth. With Golden West playing an immaculate inning, a quick three up three down, the teams then went to extra innings. At the bottom of the 10th inning it looked like Saddleback was finally going to seal the victory against the Rustlers. Brandon Cody started the inning off with a double, but with an interference at second base he was allowed to advance to third by the umpires call. So with no outs and a man on third, the Gauchos had everything going for them, but disap-

year. He only gave up one earned run on four hits over seven innings.
pointingly to the team no one could bring Cody home for the win. At the top of the 12th the Rustlers were able to take the lead, the first time since fourth inning. Daniel Dewol hit a single to left field getting him on first, but with a wild pitch he then advanced to second in scoring position. Sean Whiteman then doubled to center field and brought Dewol home to get the lead that eventually led to a win for the Golden
West Gauchos. It was rough game for the Gauchos, riddled with wild pitches, missed opportunities and errors. “Anytime you have five errors you will be very lucky to win the ball game.” McCartney said. The Gauchos next game will be on Thursday, April 11 when they host the conference rival Santa Ana Dons. sbyrne.lariat@gmail.com

Los Angeles on Friday. Reedy’s throw set the national junior college record at 192-feet 1-inch, breaking the previous record by over five feet. Tepe set the record last year also at the Tiny Lister Invitational with a throw of 186-feet 8-inches. Saddleback College holds the record in both the women’s and men’s hammer throw. Former Gaucho Remy Conatser set the men’s record last year with a 217-feet 4-inch throw.
The Irvine Valley College women’s tennis team managed to only win one match in singles play in the 6-3 loss to the Cypress College Chargers. Lasers sophomore Alyssa Harper took the No. 1 singles match 6-0. 6-3 for IVC’s lone singles victory. The Chargers swept the Lasers in the No. 3, 4, 5, and 6 singles matches. The No. 2 singles match was the only match to go to three sets, as Sofia Robolledo of the Chargers defeated Lasers freshman Ashley Athanas 3-6, 6-3, 7-6. The Lasers saw most of their success in the doubles matches as Harper and freshman Kristina Ebon won the No. 1 doubles match 8-6, while Athanas and freshman Gabrielle Alviar took the No. 2 doubles match 8-4.
Gauchos softball gets crushed by Santa Ana’s offensive onslaught Gauchos opening day starter Sydney Abounassar was knocked around by the Dons on Friday, giving up seven earned runs on nine hits in the 10-0 loss. Over five innings of play, Saddleback’s offense was only able to get three hits, and failed to have a runner advance past second base. Abounassar surrendered five or more runs for the third time in her last five starts as her ERA rose to 5.44 on the season. With the loss to Santa Ana, the Gauchos have lost three straight, and have failed to score a run for the second consecutive game. Their next home game will be on Friday, April 12 when they host the Fullerton College Hornets.
