Saddleback College celebrated Veterans Day by holding a week’s worth of activities in The Quad at Saddleback College Nov. 7 through Nov. 10. Events ranged from information sessions with veterans themselves to an obstacle course that students could participate in side by side veterans and recruiters. “Veterans Day was established to signify the end of World War I,” said Marine Sgt. Jeremy Powell, a Lake Forest Marine recruiter. “It is a very important day for veterans in general being that I am a veteran. And that I surround myself with people of that stature, it means a lot to me because it allows us to take pride in what we have done and reflect back on the sacrifice that we as well as our predecessors have made for this country.” This week’s events were put on by the Veterans Student
Council, which provides support for the 450 registered students receiving aid using the GI Bill, not including other student veterans not represented through the GI Bill. “Coming out of highschool I was looking at what I could do to set myself up for success in life and I wanted to get into law enforcement,” said Marine Sgt. Andrew Cruz, a Mission
Viejo Marine recruiter. “One of the options was to have a military background to get into law enforcement, I pulled the trigger and I ended up joining the marine corps. I took a look at all the different branches of service and this is what felt like the best fit for me.” On Monday, Nov. 7, a Field of Flags were put in The Quad to celebrate and remember those
who have served in the military. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, a veteran spoke at an event titled Vet Talk to educate and inform the student body on the military experience. On Wednesday, Nov. 9, students participated in the Combat Fitness Course. On Thursday, Nov. 10, Veterans Week activities will come to an end with a concluding BBQ and a Marine Corps Birthday Cake Cutting. “I joined the Army because I wanted to see who was defending my family, see the people that were doing it and to serve my country,” said Chad Comes, 26, business major at Saddleback College, served for almost four years in the U.S. Army. “My favorite part is the brotherhood and getting to know all the guys.” The obstacle course put students through mock training in hopes of winning a prize as well as showing their strength next to veterans and recruiters.

Saddleback to review proposal for bachelor’s degree MEAGHAN CORKILL LIFE EDITOR
the course, students began by sprinting from the starting line to the first obstacle cone, dropping to a bear crawl and going from one cone to the next. Then students flipped over into a crab crawl followed by five pushups. Throwing a volunteer into a fireman’s hold, participants then ran from cone to cone until they reached a grenade simulant where the volunteer is dropped and the grenade is thrown. Continuing the course, students dragged the volunteer from one cone to the next and then finished by sprinting to the finish line. The fastest received two free movie tickets. “I feel like it is very important to not just thank a veteran for their service but to actually take a second to stop and ask them for their story,” Powell said. “A lot of people just say thank you for your service and just keep moving but it is really important that you stop and you ask that person if they can just share a little bit and enlighten us on how your experience was and what you are proud of.” The Military Appreciation Football Game will be the next Veterans Student Council event at the home football game Saturday Nov. 12. Free admission to the game will be offered for Veterans, active duty personnel, and their families as well as a halftime recognition.
The California Community Colleges chancellor’s office issued a press release in July, 2015 stating that bachelor’s degrees will be available for certain majors at select community colleges throughout California. The approved 15 colleges to develop bachelor’s degree programs in fields such as respiratory therapy, dental hygiene, automotive technology and aerospace manufacturing technology as part of a pilot program approved by the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown. Unfortunately, Saddleback College was not approved. The bachelor’s degree Saddleback was shooting for was applied science and sustainable environmental design. Dean of advanced tech and applied sciences, Anthony Teng informed us that there are still hurdles to face in order for a chance at a bachelor’s degree for Saddleback. “The CC Bachelors Degree initiative was a pilot program that limited the number of colleges approved to offer degrees. The idea was that the program needed to fill a need that the four year universities did not offer. It is my understanding that the maximum number of programs that would be accepted to offer bachelors degrees was originally 12.” said Teng, “Unfortunately, we were not accepted. There really wasn’t an explanation why we did not get it but the Chancellor’s office did say that there may be opportunities in the future.” As well as keeping an eye on the look out for an opportunity, Teng mentioned that Saddleback will continue to improve the proposal presented for the major. Teng also shared that actually, not all approved programs have even been accepted or implemented yet. This may be because there needs to be acceptance from the four year universities as well as finding the financial and physical resources to offer the programs. “Going into a 4 year degree require more faculty, curriculum, and resources to support students working on a 4 year degree,” said Teng. “Some California community colleges opted not to propose a bachelors program because they were concerned about the drain on resources on the rest of their college.”

Corrupt judges need consequenes ZARA FLORES SPORTS EDITOR
What happens when one of the most esteemed and trusted professions becomes corrupt? Within the past few months there has been an increase in sentencing criminals. Most famously, Brock Turner, 20, was charged with three counts of sexual assault. He left a party when he sexually assaulted an unconscious 23-year-old woman behind a dumpster on campus. Turners’ father, Dan Turner, wrote a letter in his sons’ defense stating that Brock is not violent and the act was only “20 minutes of action.” It can easily be construed from the father’s letter that Turner’s lack of appetite is punishment enough. Judge Aaron Persky, a Stanford University alumni, sentenced Turner to only six
months in jail instead of the two-year-minimum. Ultimately, Turner only served a total of three months from June to September. “A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him.” Persky said. “I think he will not be a danger to others.” But what about the victim? How could Judge Perky overlook the victim in this ordeal? Following the prosecution and release of Turner, Persky is no longer hearing criminal cases. It is a start, but is it enough? Most recently, in October, a Montana victim faced a similar injustice not only at the hands of a judge but also her parents. Judge John McKeon sentenced a 40-year-old father of three, Martin Joseph Blake, to 60 days in jail for sexually assaulting his 12-year-old daughter repeatedly. The mother and grandmother of the victim argued in the defense
of the man stating that his children, primarily his sons, would be affected more by the absence of their father than of his actions. According to reports, no one spoke on behalf of the 12-yearold victim. Even taking the mother and grandmother’s argument into account, how can the judge ignore that what the father did to his daughter and provide such an abysmal sentence for him? Unfortunately, the justice system is failing victims it is set to protect. It’s very formidable, but anything is possible if we band together and speak up about injustice. Petitions have been created on Change.org for the removal of Persky and McKeon. Not only do criminals need to be held responsible for their crimes but so do the judges who sentence so below the minimum, to disrespectful lows.

Students Speak on president-elect Donald Trump NATALIA POURAZAR OPINION EDITOR
The presidential election is over and results have been finalized. This past Tuesday, millions of Americans had their fair opportunity to vote, and then prepare themselves to find out the outcome of this year’s election. Whether you like it or not, Donald John Trump is officially
the 45th president elect of the United States. The controversy over this election had been on-going, repetitive and exhausting for many citizens, but it has finally come to an end. Yesterday, millions of Americans were filled with joy and cheers with the outcome of the election, while others filled with tears and fear. America does not know what is in store for the
next four years, but we do know for sure that Trump will be in it. Now former President Barack Obama quoted in his victory speech to Trump yesterday morning, that he will be handing over “the baton” to Trump with the satisfaction of knowing that he has made progress throughout the years. Obama said he wants to make sure the hand over of pres-
idency is well executed because we as Americans are all on the same team. Six students on campus were put in the spotlight, each with their own opinions on our new president. Students also explained how they felt about Trump lasting more than one term. Many of the students did have common feelings among each other.
AYLEN LOMBARDI, 18, SOCIOLOGY MAJOR “I’m pretty okay with [Trump],” said Lombardi. “It’s definitely going to be some drastic changes so that means that it will be something new. I feel as though Hilary [Clinton] would have been similar to Barack Obama so maybe this is a chance at something different. We will see what kind of changes it brings.” Lombardi said that Trump lasting more than one term will be determined on how well he does in the next four years.
ALINA HERNANDEZ, 18, FASHION MERCHANDISE MAJOR “I feel in shock right now, but [Donald Trump] is our new president, he won and it is what it is now,” said Hernandez. “The only thing I have hope for is our economy, he is a good business man and I do feel like that will be on his agenda.” Hernandez said she does not know what the future will hold for Trump, however she believes the outcome of his term will determine what’s in store for him.
LUKE FALON, 20, HISTORY MAJOR “[Trump] is not the ideal president that I would have hoped for, but he was elected through the system that we’ve always had, so we can’t really complain about the fact that we picked him,” said Falon. “It’s hard to say what he may be able to do, personally I do not think he has given us much insight into his plans for the future so as of now I do not know what he will do for the [U.S.].” Falon does not favor his policies and does not believe he will be reelected in 2020.
JOHN GAVER, 19, NUTRITION MAJOR “I don’t think he’s very trustworthy.” said Gaver. “he has said some very hurtful things and aimed at woman’s self-esteem, I didn’t like that. He is an establish business man though, so he does have some qualifications to deal with economic issues. From my stand point, I think he’s an idiot” Gaber does not believe he will last the full first term, so a second term is out of question. He joked about how he could possibly be impeached, and that his vice president [Mike Pence] will take over and that the U.S will be better off.
CARRY ROGLE, 18, PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR “I haven’t accepted that he’s my president yet to be honest,” said Rogle. “ I think he is going to set us back more than 20 years going back to civil rights and women’s right, I don’t think he knows how to prioritize what he’s trying to do. We elected a bully, how can you explain to little kids not to bully, when your president is the example of that.” Rogle does not believe he will reelected in the future and hopes that people will able to see throughout the four years why he shouldn’t have been elected.
CHRIS AVILA, 18, PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR “I don’t like it and I’m scared,” said Avila. “I’m worried about him working with the wrong countries, and how he speaks and handles things, but he might be good for our economy.” Avila does not believe he will last another term.

New York Jazz Trio visits Saddleback USC grad Matt Slocum leads performance at McKinney Theatre FILIP PEJCINOVIC NEWS EDITOR
Matt Slocum, an accomplished jazz drummer, partnered with Dayna Stephens on the saxophone and Steve Cotter on the guitar to create Matt Slocums New York Jazz Trio. All three musicians have collectively played around the world including most of the United States, but as a trio began touring Los Angeles on Oct. 13 and plan on ending in Kitano New York on November. The trio performed in Saddleback’s McKinney Theatre on Nov. 8 where they began the evening with a piece called “Is this America.” Bob Foisy, a student of music professor Ariel Alexander found out about the concert via an email she sent. “I’m a drummer, so I wanted to check it out,” Foisy said. Stephens and Cotter played a slow melody sometimes allowing one or the other to take the lead, while Slocum, using a variety of drum sticks with wired ends, made a slow showering noise. Sometimes Slocum would switch to traditional sticks creating a mellowed anthem-like feel. This was both Slocum’s and Stephens’ favorite piece of the evening. “It came off nicely,” Slocum said. Afterword they moved onto a variety of different songs including “I Can’t Believe that You’re in Love With Me,” “Decent,” Afterglow,” “Yarezel” and another song named after a dark river in Jersey, during which Cotter fingerpicks many notes and strums chords in a fashion that gives a sense of depth and mystery. Stephens plays interesting long fluttering tones followed by Slocum’s persistent beat and occasional solos. When the concert ended every one gave them a round of applause. Slocum’s trio provided a variety of well put together pieces each with their own feel and story. No two performances are the same. “We’re playing songs but we have the freedom to express them and interpret them the way we want,” Stephens said. “It’s almost frowned upon to play it the exact same

Slocum added, “I like that it encourages the development of the individual creative voice.” The trio is also not accompanied by a bass player making it “different” from usual jazz performances, Cotter said. “That’s the vision with this trio,” Slocum
said. To have internal dialog between an untraditional mix of instruments, with an “interactive approach and some collective soloing.” Slocum’s trio’s well-performed song line up and jazzy nature with unusual instrument interaction gave the audience a unique afternoon with its own vibe.

Does where you in class sit matter? Do you sit in the splash zone or too far away to see the board? And what does it say about you? FILIP PEJCINOVIC NEWS EDITOR
Students often choose to sit in different areas of classroom but what does it say about the individual and which area helps most academically ? There are lots of different places someone can sit when they first enter the classroom. Getting a good view, hearing instructions better, and making eye contact with the professor is easier if a student chooses to sit in the front. A study conducted by the First-Year Transition Services at Penn State University Altoona found students who sit in the front center of the classroom “tend to achieve average exam scores. “Studies show that students who sit in the front and center of the classroom tend to achieve higher average exam scores.” Test scores can be linked to how far away someone is from the front of the class. Those who sit in the front normally receive higher scores than those in the back. This was proven when students were told to switch seats with someone in a different part of the room
FILIP PEJCINOVIC
and correlation between test scores and seating still seemed to be the same. Of course there are some exceptions such as Deborah Ricker, dean of Athletics Services at York college Pennsylvania is quoted in an article saying, “Teaching and Learning is less about where the student sits and more about how the student thinks work and behaves ... I have personally had some very talented students sit in the middle and back of the classroom near the door.” Even though it is known that those who sit in the front of the class have an advantage there are reasons as to why people do sit in the back of the class. An article called The "Personality Dynamics of Sitting" gives good insight on what kinds of people could reside in a classroom.
Recipe: Oreogasm Lush After a nail-biting election, “the Donald” has wiggled his way through to become the 45th president of the United States. Here is a fall dessert recipe to help forget all the commotion that this presidential race may have unfolded. Ingredients: 3 cup heavy cream 1 cup powdered sugar 24 cup crushed oreos 48 whole Oreos 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding 1/2 cup chocolate sauce Directions: Lets whip this Oreogasm into shape by first mixing cream until
medium peaks form into a large bowl. Suggestion would be to use a mixer. Next in that same bowl add powdered sugar and again mix until it’s smooth. After pour in two cups worth of Oreos and mix. Using a 9-x-13" baking dish, use some of the mix combination from above and spread a thin layer of Oreo whipped
Some study better at home so they do not feel the need to pay as attention in class as those who sit in the front. Many like to be observers and look at the whole class learn from a safe place up against the wall. Others may just be oppositional or rebellious. Classrooms are not just made up of the front and back of a class but also include the sides and middle of the room. Those that sit by the door could give the impression that they are in a hurry and like a quick way out of the situation. People that sit near the window’s are most likely daydreamers and like to have a view. Lastly those who sit in the middle of the classroom might want to have a moderate amount of attention from the teacher and want to assimilate with the class better.
cream to use as a base. Add regular Oreos all across in the baking dish and top with a layer of pudding, then Oreo whip cream and chocolate sauce. Repeat the cycle until ending with Oreo whip cream on top. Next top the dish with crushed Oreos and cover with plastic wrap to refrigerate until hard. Usually takes at least six
hours, to which after it is ready to serve. Enjoy your orgasmic dessert, to forget and most importantly have fun. –Denisse Hobson

(of that white supremacist in the White House) By Zara Flores
Trump came in like a wrecking ball and triumphed over Hillary, prompting reflection on the results and the man hiding under the toupe, our new President-Elect
D
o you remember where you were or what you were doing when the host of “The Apprentice” became President of the United States? As a Mexican-American, I do. I began the day opening multiple tabs on my cellphone, visiting every social media and news outlet feed I could to get information, predictions and progress reports on the presidential election. Sporadically throughout my work day, I checked my phone for any information and to reassure myself there’s plenty of support for Hillary Clinton. I went for a run. And for a time, I could run away from my worries.
All I could focus on was the beaming tightness in my chest. I rewarded myself with pizza. My friend held the door to Bella Roma in Laguna Niguel open for me, and I stepped into an empty little restaurant, just a large flatscreen TV mounted on the wall. It blared red and blue, with a bunch of numbers that drove my anxiety up. It made me nervous. The kind where I want to stress eat, but my stomach was in knots. I still ate. We ordered a small pepperoni and pineapple pizza and faced sideways to watch the
about global warming. I dressed in all black, to mourn, despite 90-degree weather. All across America, people protested and turned to every outlet they could to express their opinions. No escape. The damage was done. Not only I but millions of Americans now have a very legitimate reason to fear for their wellbeing and the wellbeing of those they love. America hides in a shell made of inclusivity and peace that actually harbors racism and sexism that was clearly showcased by the re-
“When you’re a star they let you do anything,” Rump said. “You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything,” Following the audio leak, Rump released a statement that only amplified his misogynistic, sexist character. Billy Bush, TV and radio host and member of the Bush family, was fired from his position at the “Today” show once the audio was released. Bush was fired for his lewd comments, but the person who began the conversation, Rump, is now our President-Elect. Both Lochte and Bush faced serious consequences as a result of their actions. In spite of all the evidence, accusations aside, Rump still somehow managed to cruise by this election with half-minded policies and plans. So what do we do now? We are a nation divided. We are a nation regressing. We are a nation failing our women, children, LGBT citizens, citizens of color and varied race. As unfortunate as it is to admit, Rump is our next president. There is not much to do about it. Now, it’s time to shift our focus from the election to our communities. The damage has been done. As hope for Hillary was stomped out by Trump. We must still hold out hope for ourselves and our communities. It’s time to step aside from one label or another. We are no longer pressured to vote republican or democratic because we already have. It no longer matters what color or animal you identify with, we can’t let it matter. What matters is how you behave as a human and how you treat other human beings no matter how different from you they may be.
As the night went on, the beacon of hope for Hillary became more and more clouded by a spray tan, orange storm cloud. election coverage. I burned my tongue on the pizza but knew it wouldn’t be nearly as painful as watching the election coverage all night. It was just past 6 p.m. when we left. I felt hopeful. A few states’ polling locations were closing. Rump was ahead of Hillary, but it was still far too early to call. We walked back to my friend’s house and picked up some Half Baked Ben and Jerry’s ice cream to help swallow the dread from election night. As the night went on, the beacon of hope for Hillary became more and more clouded by a spray tan orange storm cloud. I sat through an awkward, uneasy and painful silence as I watched. Burning red came over me. I held back tears and choked between each breath. It was time to come to terms and face our new president-elect, Donald John Trump. The next morning, I awoke in hell, proving Rump wrong
sults of the election. How can we stand behind this man? Ryan Lochte, heavily decorated Olympian, was banned from all competition for 10 months following the Brazil scandal. Lochte and fellow Olympians falsified information given to the police. Lochte represents the United States of America at competitions and in the world of swimming. He was rightfully punished. Rump is a misogynistic, sexist, racist, white supremacist. And yet, millions took to the polls to vote for him. If that’s not enough of a comparison for you, chew on this. In 2005, Rump and Billy Bush were recorded making vulgar comments about women and sexual assault. The recording occurred on a segment on “Access Hollywood” in reference to Rump appearing on a soap opera. The pair were on their way to meet up with one of the stars on the soap.
