FROM CITY COLLEGE TO CITY COUNCIL CLS Instructor Seeks the District 1 Seat BY JASMINE YORO
Rampage reporter jyoro@therampageonline.com
A Chicano Latino studies instructor in her first semester at Fresno City College is running to be District 1 representative on the Fresno City Council. Esmeralda Soria, “born and raised here in the valley” to farmworker parents, is currently living in District 1, which includes the FCC campus. She said she strongly believes that District 1 neighborhoods “deserve the same quality of life as neighborhoods up in North Fresno.” The Tulare native launched her campaign 14 months ago and said
she is qualified to be on the city council because she is “relatable to the everyday voter.” Soria said she decided to run when she realized “that the city council is privatizing tax payers’ money.” She added that some of the other problems include the “quality of transportation and infrastructure.” She plans to work on public safety by “fixing our streetlights in a timely fashion, community policing, after school programs, and other activities for youth in the summer and cleaning graffiti.” Soria is focused on her “outreach to voters”

which has earned her a wide support base of “Republicans, Democrats and independents from different organizations.” A former professor at the San Joaquin Law School, Soria earned her bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley and a Juris Doctor from the UC Davis School of Law. She has a background in policy work in Sacramento and an extensive career involving politics. Soria said her background -- education and work experience -will be a great asset to her constituents if she is elected. For more information www.esmeraldasoria.com

BREAST CANCER ISSUES ADDRESSED
BY CRESENCIO RODRIGUEZ DELGADO Multi-media Editor crodriguezdelgado@therampageonline.com
About one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime, and it continues to be the most common type of cancer diagnosed among women in the U.S. According to information available on the American Cancer Society website, in 2014 alone, approximately 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women and about 40,000 women will die from the disease which is the second leading cause of
cancer death in women. With a one in 36 chance of dying from breast cancer, women are teaming up with other groups and mobilizing to stamp out the disease, and what better time than in October, designated nationwide as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Locally, several nonprofits hosted their traditional awareness events. Susan G. Komen Central Valley held its annual Race for the Cure at Fresno State over the weekend and attracted many supporters. Several team and individual supporters ran to raise funds for the local foundation.
WIFI CONNECTION ON CAMPUS BY DAVID CHAVEZ
Reporter dchavez@therampageonline.com
Are you having difficulty logging onto the Wi-Fi on the Fresno City College campus? Well, you are not alone. Many students and staff are facing the same problem when it comes to connecting to the Internet on campus. Students have found that there are areas on campus that work better than others and some students have issues with not being able to connect at all. Although students can do homework and research off campus, many would prefer to stay on campus to avoid distractions at home. But if they can’t connect to the Internet while on campus, what are they to do? “The campus does not have 100 percent coverage in all areas. It is a goal we are working towards but we are not there yet,” network coordinator, Harry Zahlis said. “If there are specific areas which students aren’t able to connect, they can send an email to harry. zahlis@fresnocitycollege.edu and we will see what we can do to add additional wireless connectivity.” Zahlis also recommends that students not bring personal Wi-Fi devices or try to tether their phones to their computers. These devices can and do interfere with the campus wireless network and it can have an effect on other users trying to connect. “One misconfigured personal wireless hotspot can all but negate the wireless access points that are part of the wireless network and that others may be connected to.” FCC President Tony Cantu said that technology is an issue that is being addressed and developed. “There’s a series of goals on a yearly basis of where we want to be,” Cantu said. The technology plan is aimed to resolve technical problems districtwide and on campus. He hopes improvements will increase the wireless access points on campus. Anyone unable to connect to the Wi-Fi should visit the the Technology Support Services office located in the Media Center. There is staff available to help students, faculty and staff get connected with their devices.
Another local event that attracts the community is the annual Pink Show, an art exhibition fundraiser for cancer awareness. The Pink Show runs through Oct. 31, and local artists will be featuring their artwork dedicated solely to breast cancer. The show is being held at the Brush and Easel Gallery on Shaw Avenue. While events take place annually for awareness about the disease, there are also local centers that work to provide patients in the valley with proper care daily.

PAYNE COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY PATRICK FORREST
Reporter pforrest@therampageonline.com
The president of the State Center Community College District board of trustees appointed an ad hoc committee to investigate allegations of misconduct against Trustee Eric Payne. The three-member committee includes Ronald H. Nishinaka, vice president of the board; Richard Caglia, trustee, and Patrick Patterson, board president. The committee will select an outside investigator to assist them. The committee will be guided by Board Policy 2715 “Code of Ethics/Standards of Practice” which details the process for the board to investigate if the actions of a board member are improper and if action is warranted. In its Oct. 7 meeting, the board voted for an investigation Payne can potentially be reprimanded by the committee. They have the ability to release a statement condemning the actions of the trustee and make it clear to the public that they feel his actions were “unbecoming” of a member of the board. According to a statement released by the district, the board policy permits the trustee subject to the charge of misconduct, Payne, to present information to the committee. The committee will then make a report of its
Care Breast Center offers mammogram screenings for women beginning at age 40. Otis W. Brawley, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at the American Cancer Society, is responsible for promoting the goals of cancer prevention and quality treatment through cancer research, recommends the screenings for women. “This is one screening test I recommend unequivocally, and would recommend to any woman 40 and over, be she a patient, a stranger, or a family member,” Brawley said, according to the W.I.S.H website. Breastcancer.org provides a clear step-by-step Breast Self
Exam process. While many associate breast cancer with women, men also get diagnosed with the disease. According to the American Cancer Society, men have breast tissue that can also develop breast cancer. However, since male breast duct cells are less developed than women’s cells, it is not as common for men to get diagnosed with breast cancer according to the ACS. According to the Susan G. Komen Central Valley website, breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without normal control.
CAMPUS BRIEFS findings to the full Board for consideration of action. Nothing has been released on when that report will be given to the rest of the board members. Trustee Payne has been accused of interfering in the hiring practicing at Reedley College and plagiarizing an opinion article for the Fresno Bee.

RAMS WIN HOMECOMING GAME
Rams dominate Gladiators behind Christian Rossi 4 touchdowns. BY KEAUNDREY CLARK
Sports Editor kclark@therampageonline.com
Fresno City College football has had an up and down season this year, the Rams rank No. 9 in the state (4-3 overall, 1-1 Central Valley Conference) and are riding high after a big homecoming victory over No.11 Chabot College (3-4, 1-1 CVC), 49 to 21, on Saturday Oct. 25 at Ratcliffe Stadium. “I was really happy with the way our team responded, how we redirected our focus this week in practice and responded to a tough situation,” said Head Coach Tony Caviglia. After losing 41-7 to Laney College last week, the Rams knew they had to come back home and dominate which they did from the opening kick. “We knew we were a better team
“ This game was about the guys in this locker room, how much pride they have, and understanding what it takes to win.”
-Head Coach Tony Caviglia than we showed last week,” said freshman running back Jeremy Smith. “We practiced a lot this week, executed everything coach taught us this week.” The Rams came out early and set the tone and ran the ball for 313 yards. They got a big game from freshman Jeremy Smith who ran for 168 yards. Smith is currently ranked 8th in the state in rushing.
Sophomore Errian Wingfield was also excellent on the night, running for 79 yards on 12 carries. “When we ran the ball like we did in the first half, it opens up the passing game,” said freshman quarterback Christian Rossi. “Our receivers ran good routes and I just tried to find them.” Rossi had his best game of the year, scoring four touchdowns for the Rams, two running and two passing. “We wanted to come out and show Chabot how good we were,” said Rossi. Sophomore wide receiver Darius Armstead led FCC with five receptions for 77 yards and two touchdowns. The Rams defense was strong all night long, allowing just 93 yards rushing. FCC also got great contributions from its special teams with a blocked punt by Deeldrick Taylor who returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. “This game was the guys in this locker room, how much pride they have, and understanding what it takes to win,“ said Caviglia. The Rams have just three games remaining this season to try and capture the Central Valley Conference title. Their last three games of the season will be at San Joaquin Delta on Nov. 1, at home against Modesto College on Nov. 8, and at the College of Sequoia on Nov. 15. “We have to build off this game,” said Rossi. “If we play like we should, we should win the next three games easily.” l TWITTER.COM/SLOCUM13

Alumni Remember Their Football Days at FCC BY KEAUNDREY CLARK
Sports Editor kclark@therampageonline.com
“This is the purest football there is; it’s all about you and your brothers on the field; hit like there’s no tomorrow.”
“It was great; being from the Central Valley, I got to play with a bunch of guys from school. It was a great experience. Focus on your grades because that will get you to the next level.“
-Sean Soares - Class of 2000,
-Ross Taliaferro - Class of 2000
“Playing here was amazing, building solid, lifelong friendships. Life’s a fight; keep your head on strong; stay positive, and hard work, it’s all about hard work.”
It was tremendous playing here; we won four straight state titles.” [To current and future FCC athletes] “Just hang in there; play your butts off.”
-Terrance Grant - Class 0f 2003
-Gus Short - Class of 1967
“Probably one of the best experiences of my life, building lifetime friendships while here made it special. Focus; take advantage of the moment. You only have a few of those in life, and this is one of them.”
It was a lot of fun playing at FCC, the most fun I’ve ever had playing football. The expectation here was to win every single game, and we pretty much did that.”

BY LAUREN BARNETT & DAVID CHAVEZ Reporters lbarnett@therampageonline.com dchavez@therampageonline.com
Want to have a Halloween party, but you’re on a budget? Halloween is a very popular festivity. Here are a few tips on having a great Halloween on a budget under $25 including decorations, food, party treats and a costume. The first step to do is pick a theme and colors for your party. You can use different colors and patterns such as orange, black and polka dot. You can find inexpensive decorations at your local dollar store or at a nearby party supply store. A few festive easy ideas are to change your framed photos to Halloween pictures or just add googly-eyed stickers or halloween stickers to your pictures. Drape Christmas lights around the punch bowl. Find a “Happy Halloween” banner and drape it! You can also drape a black sheet over your couch to set a dark and spooky mood. Now that you have a few ideas for some fun easy decorations.Halloween party finger foods can be the fun part of a party. There are plenty of ways to create Halloween themed finger foods. To create slimy witch fingers, pour green gelatin into vinyl gloves. Chill until set. Peel off gloves and lay on tray. Then there is “Monster Toes”, hot dogs with a small hole cut in the end wrapped in biscuit dough and then baked. For a nice sweet treat you can make “Ghost Suckers”, which are wrapped suckers with a tissue and tied at the bottom. Draw on scary faces with a marker. A large juice concentrate can be
used as “Halloween blood punch” for the thirsty vampires that will make an appearance. Costumes, can get pricey. A simple Batman mask costs at the least $20 or more at a Halloween store! If you’re looking for the full Batman costume, that’s going to cost at least $49.99, if not more. And you’re most likely only going to use it once! Almost any costume you can think of you can make by yourself. All you need is a little imagination and creativity. If you need some help or inspiration you can always browse the website Pinterest. There you’ll find all sorts of ideas, based on items you can find in your closet! Take for instance Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. All it takes is a black long- sleeved dress with black tights and shoes. Finish the look with a pair of braids and pale makeup. A zombie look can be made with any clothes and creative makeup. There you have it, an enjoyable evening without breaking the bank. l TWITTER.COM/FCCRAMPAGE

Have you ever wanted to step out of your comfort zone when it comes music taste? The Fresno City College Latin Jazz Band had an opportunity for that with a concert for students and the community to attend on Thursday. The concert was held in the FCC Theatre at 7:30 p.m. The event was hosted by Mike Dana and George Ramirez music directors and instructors at FCC, the students playing that night on stage were as ready as when they were busy practicing. The concert opened with a west jazz combo. The instruments were beating loud and the faculty were doing a great job playing each of their instruments for the crowd to hear. Tyler Howell, a student at FCC and pianist for the band, said he has been playing the piano for 17 years. He said that after all the practice he was ready to play. The students who participated in the Latin concert, practiced since
5
the beginning of the semester and were ready to go out and play. Patrick Beaston, said he played in the south combo portion of the jazz concert. “It is my first time playing in a jazz class and ensembles at the same time” said Beaston. Few of the players such as Richard Stark (singer) and Patrick Beaston (electric guitar) have played other types of different shows outside of FCC, but to play a concert like this was new and exciting. The north combo of musicians came on stage to perform the song “Route 66”, by Bobby Troup, from of the film “Cars”. Overall the concert was soothing a pieceful for anyone who sat in the theater seats. They all could sit, listen and enjoy the sounds and beats. Along with the Latin ensembles such as Mambo Inn and Typoon, the faulty did a great job keeping the audience entertained. The Latin Jazz Band will hold a “Jazz Combo” at the Tokyo Garden Inn at 6 p.m. on Sunday Nov. 19. Admission is free. l TWITTER.COM/FCCRAMPAGE

HORROR VAULT BY JARRETT M. RAMONES
Opinion Editor/Art Director jramones@therampageonline.com
Fear. The most powerful human emotion. Once spread fear can turn a sensible group into a blood-thirsty mob. Moreover, it is the driving force behind human history. Fear is the reason the horror film industry is as long surviving as it is. Horror films portray humanity’s worst fears, allowing viewers to not just experience but to overcome their nightmares; loss, isolation and death. The fear of these drives humans to resist the aggressor, to seek freedom and life. Horror films act as a direct critique of a given generation’s greatest fears. In the early days of cinema, the silent
Lon Chaney monster films brought to light fears of the returning disfigured World War I veterans. In the 50’s “Godzilla” films represented nuclear fears. Today, the most popular subgenre of horror is the modern possession film. Unlike other horror sub-genres, modern possession films feature very little actual violence and rarely a physical embodiment of evil. These films can be seen as mirroring typical American attitudes to world affairs. Sounds like a bit of a jump? Maybe. Consider the mindset of an average American. The great
boogie creature of this generation is the Middle East. The fear always stems from a mysterious organization that somehow is a threat to the foundation of Western civilization. The media is littered with images of rioting, American flags being burned and video of people training to invade America. American ideals are under constant threat of destruction at the hand of this mysterious organization but rarely are these effects felt in the states. Now consider the world of possession films, the victims of these films are average Americans being attacked by an unknown force, as
featured by recent releases “Annabelle” and “Ouija” (among countless others). This unknown force is always omnipresent and is often brought on by an outsider as seen in “Drag Me to Hell”. Blaming the unknown foreign antagonist resembles possession in horror films. As long as an omnipresent monster can be blamed for bad things taking responsiblility can be avoided.

Hankering for Horror? Checkout these films:
The Exorcist (1973)
House of Wax (1953)
What is left to say about “The Exorcist”. It laid the foundation for the entire possesion genre.
Basically anything with horror legend Vincent Price is a safe bet but “House of Wax” is easily one of his best.
The Mist (2007)
Lesser know gem, “The Mist” pays homage to classic horror with its use of social tension and the element of unknown.
Carnival of Souls (1968)
While not an altogether “scary” film. “Carnival of Souls” dreamy expressionist atmosphere will leave you haunted.

Reporter cownes-garrett@therampageonline.com
Why wait until after someone is gone to approach the topic of suicide? Suicide is a serious matter that society pushes away, so that people don’t have to deal with it. It is so much more than they see, it is very important that one who knows that someone is suicidal or has had suicidal thoughts, you have to be that person they trust for them to feel safe. Suicide is something that is frowned upon until someone is closely affected by it. Society as a whole needs to be educated on suicide as well as knowing what to do when someone reaches out for help when wanting to attempt suicide as well as having the thoughts of suicide. What causes people to contemplate suicide? People often desire suicide in very overwhelming, emotional periods of their life. Many people who often attempt suicide or suffer from thoughts of suicide have one or more of the following symptoms: depression, mental health disorders or even a problematic situation they can’t cope with that makes a person feel out of control with their life. When this negative mindset
begins it’s takeover, it controls one’s life to the point where they begin to shut down and shut everyone out around them. When that happens, they begin to think of ways to plan their death. It is important to let the person know that they are not alone. Someone who is suicidal often closes themselves off from society and allows the depression or whatever is bothering them to take over. It is very important to reach out to person way before that stage happens because just knowing that there is someone there to help you means so much more and allows the person to see you as their rock. Always remember that you can change someone’s life by being there to support them. Support is important to someone who may be suicidal or even severely depressed. Also, it is good to let the person know that there are suicide hotlines to help you get passed the bad and get to the good feelings deep inside. Never give up on anyone even if it is difficult to be supporting, never give up because you could be saving someone’s life!

Social Media Affecting Relationships
BY JULIAN RAMOS
Reporter jramos@therampageonline.com
Relationships; everybody wants one-right? Or maybe you prefer to not label what you share with another person-the whole “boyfriend/ girlfriend” is so elementary and played out by now. What does it matter what you and that special someone call yourselves; all that should matter is the bond, the good feelings that are shared when the two are with each other. It’s easier now than ever to share something special with someone because the two never have to be apart for as long as someone isn’t away from a phone or computer. School, work, family; these can all be strains on a relationship. Couples can now be with each other even when they’re far apart - there is absolutely no need to be alone anymore! Beautiful. But for every good there has to
be a bad, unfortunately. Just like it can bring people together, it can also contribute to the downfall of love. The internet sets unrealistic expectations for people, the same way movies did (and still do). It has a way of over romanticising everything - love and heartbreak. There’s nothing romantic about a broken heart and there certainly isn’t anything beautiful about having love pried away. Heartbreak is a bitch. And what people seem to forget is that what’s being depicted on screen or in a picture is just a moment - a moment that was purposefully written or posed. I hear it all the time, “I want a love like (insert indie movie turned Hollywood success here)” or “Why can’t my relationship be like...” and people seem to have forgotten why their love can’t be like that-because it’s
fake. You can’t model love after a scene in a movie. According to teens on social media, the most important thing in a relationship is pizza eating and butt touching. Pizza eating and butt touching are amazing but what about the other 20 hours that make up a day? It’s easy to get caught up in the over romanticisation and let it depress you, just as it’s easy to let things get stagnant when you are in a relationship. Social media takes something very personal and private and makes it impersonable. So much so to the point it can hinder the relationship. To all the happy couples out there, I wish you stay happy. And to those suffering through crippling loneliness, well, get used to it. l TWITTER.COM/WINE_DAD
