Staff members assist two participants from the Sports DisAbility Festival prepare to ascend the rock climbing wall located at the Student Recreational and Fitness Center on campus.
The DisAbility Sports Festival celebrated its fourth annual event on Saturday,
Oct. 2.
The festival allowed people of various
ages and abilities to take part in activities
like rock climbing, tennis, kayaking, and
various other sports.
“Sports help develop confidence, social skills, coping skills, and assertiveness,” said the director of the event, Dr.
Aaron Moffet.
Moffet launched the sports festival in
2007 after witnessing the inequalities people with disabilities encountered.
“I have not been rock climbing since
I’ve been in my wheel chair,” said participant Mark Jones.
It had been eight years since Jones
went rock climbing and five years since he
was in an accident that left him disabled.

Google apps saves big bucks

CSUSB has now merged with Google
Apps for Education and created new Gmail
accounts for every student.
Like most changes, it may take time
to get use to, and so far, the new student email accounts have gotten mixed reviews.
“The change wasn’t necessary, because most people don’t use it outside of
school anyway,” said student Veronica
Fonseca. “It was way too difficult to access.”
According to David Neighbours, interim asst. director of Telecommunication
Network Services, there have been over
250 calls so far, from students who were
having trouble logging into their new accounts.
CSUSB student, Chris White, said that
having a student Gmail account is a good
thing. “It’s nice to have all your e-mails
linked to your phone. With the other account, you couldn’t do that.”
Most students are still wondering why
the change was made at all.
“The primary driving force behind this
decision was economics,” said Neighbours.
“For at least 10 years, we have used SUN
[Solaris], but recently SUN was purchased
by another company. The new company
charges each person who uses the e-mail
system.”
He said the proposed charges would

LGBT community on campus poised to “come out”
By MELISA BUIGUES
Staff Writer
CSUSB recognizes National Coming Out Day by hosting a week of entertainment,
discussion, and information starting Oct. 11 in the Santos Manuel Student Union (SMSU).
National Coming Out Day is an internationally-observed civil awareness day for the
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) community and their supporters.
“Celebration meets education is the main purpose for this weeks events,” said Deejay Brown, student and head event coordinator of National Coming Out Week.
“We want students to feel comfortable identifying with other homosexuals,” said
Amaris Simmons, a student assistant of the Pride Center. “We are trying to create an
environment where students feel safe to express their true identity.”
National Coming Out Day begin today, Oct. 11, in the Pride Center (SMSU 223)
from 9 to 5 p.m.
Members of the center will be ready to offer brochures regarding underlying LGBT
issues such as advice on how to “come out,” or disclose their sexual orientation to family,
work and church members.
The day will also include Human Rights Campaign information as well as Pride
Center T-shirt giveaways. Morgan Lim, panelist for the Pride Center, wants to extend
an invitation to those who may not know about the Pride Center or visit SMSU.
“I’d like to encourage people from other parts of campus to ask whatever questions
they have because the whole purpose [of Coming Out Week] is to be informed and answer questions,” said Lim.
Founders Dr. Robert Eichberg and Jean O’Leary adopted this day in 1988, in celebration of the 500,000 people who marched in Washington, DC for gay and lesbian equality. This is the first year CSUSB will have an entire week dedicated to the celebration.
Here’s what to expect at this week’s upcoming events:

Budget squeeze pushes deadline
By JOSE MONZON
Staff Writer
The priority period to file an application for admission into CSUSB is from
Oct. 1 to Nov. 30 for the upcoming academic year.
In the past, deadlines may have been
more flexible, but budget restraints have
forced the university to limit admissions.
“It all boils down to the budget,” said
Arlene Reed, interim associate director of
the Admissions and Operations office.
“We are responding to the fact that we
don’t have the funds to serve as many as
we want to serve.”
Accepting fewer students may not
seem beneficial, but Reed said that it was
actually a good thing.
“It helps us give students better service,” said Reed. “It also gets students
ready for meeting their classroom deadlines.”
Both Reed and Sid Robinson, vice
president of university affairs, said that the
target goal of acceptable applicants has not
been determined for the fall of 2011 as it
has continually moved and shifted.
“We don’t deny many [applicants],”
said Reed even though she also stated that
more have had to be denied than in recent
years. She said most applicants were made
eligible for openings in the future rather
than denying them per se.
Reed also said that admissions looks
at local area students, defined specifically
as the ten community colleges in the area,
and later looks at students out of the area.
They are currently accepting applications for upper division transfers and first
time freshman.
According to Reed, “returning students are given additional consideration
but do not fall into the defined local area.”
This is one of those shades of grey where
there is no direct line of priority.
“We don’t want to discourage the
people who have been in the momentum of
school,” said Reed. “With the budget constraints we can’t shut off our community
colleges.”
For those who are interested in attending CSUSB, adhering to this deadline is
vital to gaining admission because
“There’s certainly a chance that we
will stop accepting applications,” said
Robinson, about Fall 2011.
Students can find more information by
visiting csusb.edu or contact the Admission office.
Pride Center comes out in support
Meet Your Campus Queer on Tuesday will be held in the SMSU lobby from noon to
2 p.m. Staff from the Pride Center, in an attempt to engage more students, will be offering
information and answering questions outside the comfy confines of the center.
“We want to put a face on the Pride Center,” said Amaris Simmons.
Coming Out Monologues will take place Wednesday in the SMSU Theater (SMSU
107) from 3 to 5 p.m. Through artistic expressions, students will tell their coming out
stories including spoken word, video, poem and song.
Live Out, the weeks biggest event, will unfold in the Event Center (SMSU 106)
from 8 to 11 p.m.
Live performances include the LOA Dance Theater and well-known LBGT comedian Sabrina Matthews. Stop by the Pride Center to pick up your free ticket. The first 75
people will receive VIP seating.
Out Fest returns to the Pride Center (SU 223) from 9 to 5 p.m. to recap the week.
In a relaxed environment, staff and students alike will encapsulate the weeks events while
enjoying movies and playing board games like “Gayopoly.”
For more information contact the Pride Center at (909) 537-5963 or visit theirwebsite at www.studentunion.csusb.edu.

CSUSB University Police Department and Parking Services ensure that CSUSB students and vehicles are safe on campus,
whether driving or parked. The Chronicle reminds you that parking tickets aren’t as bad as car theft or break-in.
Cruisin’ CSUSB
By CHELSI CHASTAIN
Staff Writer
CSUSB students hit: the brakes, the
speed limit of 25 mph at the northern part
of campus is now being enforced harder
than ever.
Despite the five posted signs that caution drivers of the speed limit and pedestrians, many still disregard the law.
Now that the speed limit is being enforced strictly, students are weighing in
with their opinions.
“It’s hard to go downhill and stay at
twenty five miles an hour,” said student,
Lyndsey Flores. “You have to use your
breaks the entire time. I understand why
the speed limit is so low; there’s tons of
runners but even when I’m going 35, people pass me up all the time.”
“There is no place to transition,” said
Kyrsten Sharpe in reference from to the
40 mph speed limit on Northpark Boulevard to 25 mph on East Campus Drive. “To
abide by the law, you must hit your breaks
hard which isn’t easy to do when there’s
traffic.”
When the campus police were contacted for comment, calls were not returned.
When contacted, the city said that the
speed limit is perfectly legal and abides by
all city laws due to the fact of the proximity
of the road to a school campus.
So the best way to avoid a citation or
ticket is to buy your parking permit, and
follow posted signs regarding both speed
and space designation.
Perhaps the most common and ongoing student concern, since before the recent
“speed trap” is parking.
“The easiest way to avoid citations is
to read signs and buy a parking permit,”
said George Hammons, the parking programs coordinator.
There are many signs sprinkled around
the parking lots that warn that permits are
required twenty four hours a day, seven
days a week.
Quarterly and annual permits are
available for purchase at parking services
the bursars office and online at parking permits.csusb.edu for eighty four dollars and
two hundred fifty two dollars respectively.
Daily parking permits are available for
five dollars at the parking kiosks and machines around campus.
Also available at kiosks are carpooling
placard that will be stamped upon entrance
each day to allow for parking in carpool
designated spots. To receive a stamp at
least two students, staff or facility members must be present in the car.
Commuter services, in university hall,
offer incentives for carpooling students.
Parking services handles all non-moving violations, where as all moving violations are handled by Campus police.
Drive safe.

Neighbours said that going Google has not only saved the university money, but they
avoided making cuts elsewhere to pay for e-mail services. He also alluded to more widespread use among other CSU campuses when he said that Gmail has made arrangements
with other chancellor offices.
If given the chance to do anything different, Neighbours described how he would

The more we connect...
...the more we disconnect

I
n a world increasingly tangled in
the interwebs, everyone and their
mom can “friend request” you
from their Twitter, Facebook and
(insert procrastination assisting social network here).
We can’t just ignore these virtual
friend requests, after all, they make us feel
special and wanted, and so we accept.
We accept a completely informal,
lackadaisical acquaintance. An acquaintance that does not serve any purpose in
our lives; a popularity fashion statement.
You give the same title to your best friend
as you do to the guy you looked at in economics class one time. Soon we develop a
fixation with maintaining our relationships
through superficial “pokes” and “likes”.
What use to be a face-to-face interaction has deformed into a half-hearted acknowledgement of a real relationship. Real
time conversations have become lost in a
world of SMS and wall posts.
Spoken conversations over the phone
seem almost taboo. It seems we have resorted to convenient and informal communication over practical and sincere.
I have seen countless circles of friends
where everyone is looking down at their
phones. My roommates even text each other across the room.
The new generation of technology has
made two separate social environments:
one in reality, and one on the World Wide
Web.
It’s clear that we do act differently in
our lives online.
People tend to be more secure with
themselves and what they say when on
the Internet. Ask yourself how much more
comfortable you are flirting with the girl/
guy in philosophy on her/his “wall” than in
class?
Facebook claims that 50 percent of active users log on each day. We are so accustomed to being our true selves over the
web, that we are becoming increasingly
unfamiliar with face-to-face interaction.
This unfamiliarity makes us prone to
isolating ourselves in reality as the distinction between virtual and live communication becomes apparent.
This level of disconnection has also
created a breeding ground for uncensored
opinions. You don’t have to look far on
any forum or YouTube clip to see people’s
honest opinions boiling over the webpage. Protected behind a computer screen,
people are quicker to reprimand others for
their beliefs when the conversation isn’t
happening in a Starbucks.
Another channel of this type of communication is available to children as well.
Xbox Live and Playstation 3 lobbies are a
cesspit of some of the most obscene and vicious 10-year-olds I have ever heard. I’ve
listened to more f-bombs in a 10 minute
period on Call of Duty than in a scene from
“Pulp Fiction”.
Websites such as 4chan encourage a
free-for-all, intolerant, shut up and listen
mentality of communication. The recent
story of cyber bullied Rutgers freshman,
Tyler Clementi and his suicide is a perfect
example of the worst of social networks
capabilities.
This effect extends beyond just social
interaction but to how we conduct ourselves in reality. A job search has become
as impersonal as downloading and submitting an application.
Handshakes and eye contact have
been replaced by e-mails and emoticons.
The new generation of communication
favors expediency over courtesy and nonchalance over professionalism. With the
recent release of the film, The Social Net-

work, maybe now people can see a little
of the darker side of their favorite addiction and learn how these sites evolved into
something bigger and more powerful.
The negative aspects of this culture
shift are more apparent as the number of
registered Facebook users exceeds 500
million, enough to be the third largest
country.
Social networks have connected us,
but are also inadvertently isolating us.
Why college students can no longer
forfeit their health for meaningless sex
The sudden freedom many experience, coupled with
the sea of new people, thrown together for hours a day
with no one telling them what to do often leads to things
such as unsafe sex. It’s something that shouldn’t be messed
around with.
Though sex is normal and shouldn’t be treated as an
oddity, many people aren’t safe about it. It is, in part, due
to poor sexual education during adolescence.
For example, many people are unaware that in order
for birth control to be as effective as possible, it must be
taken every day within 30 minutes of the same time according to ThePill.com. If not taken regularly, its effectiveness can lower significantly.
Moreover, as far back as 1990 in an article titled “Sex,
Lies and HIV,” featured in The New England Journal of
Medicine, 34 percent of men and 10 percent of women had
told lies in order to have sex- the results of a study of 665
southern California college students.
Now, with more people gaining access to universities,
imagine how much higher that number is today.
Additionally, there are staggering statistics that prove
sexual carelessness amongst young people.
For example, “In 2004, 88 percent of people with
STDs are between the ages of 20 and 29, with 32 percent
being 18 or 19,” said Lapriel Clark, a nurse practitioner at
the Bear River Health Department in Utah. Now, on the
cusp of a new decade, these numbers have undoubtedly
continued their upward climb.
We have long since left the age that valued waiting
until marriage for sex. As a culture, we have grown to embrace the “Sex and the City”-lifestyle of multiple partners,
casual sex and drunken hookups, and thusly, knowledgeable use of protection is becoming more and more pertinent.
It is important to understand the risks involved, especially with the rise of STDs. Many sexually transmitted
infections have incubation periods of up to six months, so
until you’ve had two clear tests six months apart, you can
never be certain that you’re not infected- and that’s only
if you haven’t had risky sexual encounters during that six
month period.
Avert.org reports that 1 in 5 people living with HIV
have not yet been diagnosed, and the total number of
people living with an HIV infection in the U.S. is thought
to be around 1.1 million. Avert.org also lists that between
2007 and 2008, syphilis cases increased by 18 percent. On
top of that, California is ranked as the state with the ninth
highest syphilis rate in America.
College students have the highest rate of sexually
transmitted infections in the United States, and a huge part
of it is due to our disdain for protection.
As young people who are dealing with the heavy
responsibility of earning good grades and carving out a future for ourselves, it would be foolish to risk our health in
exchange for a couple of one-night-stands when we didn’t
really want the deal the hassle of the five seconds it takes
to use protection.
People tell lies to have sex, cheat on their partners and
even have casual sex from time to time. The risk of unwanted pregnancy or disease is too high to avoid condom
usage. Part of growing up is being responsible and making
sure you are playing safely.

Gen eds: A waste of time?
Why excessive general education requirements may be costing students their competitive edge
By ALLISON UPSTILL
Staff Writer
The general education requirements
for undergraduates need significant change
and reform.
General education should only consist
of one year, as opposed to two, and capstones should be eliminated.
After your first year (freshman year)
you would be required to declare a minor
or major or both. Your second year would
consist of minor and the 3rd and 4th year
would consist of the student’s major and
completion of a minor.
As graduates everyone would have
a major and minor, thus creating a wellrounded student but, more importantly, a
focus and specialization started early on.
Why? Well because, as the requirements stand, they are not accommodating
this changing national economy, they do
not compete with international higher education standards, and they do not stimulate
participation and achieve higher graduation rates.
My point is that we need change and
reform to a system that is desperate for reevaluation and focus.
I believe that there would be a decrease in students changing their major
during the undergraduate process if there
was a greater emphasis on a more focused
and secure education.
According to CalState.edu, “taking
general education courses is a good way of
learning about the various disciplines and
helping you decide a major.”
I agree.
It guides a student’s decision for a
major or focus, but does it really take two
years of our lives
to discover what
interests us?
It also states
that the “CSU has
a dual purpose: to
provide a broad
education and to
prepare you for
specific professional and occupational goals.”
Why can’t this focus for “specifics”
start earlier on in the undergraduate study,
and help arm the students with a more focused curriculum?
Graduation rates are compared to the
schools focus on general education on the
website, WhatWillTheyLearn.com.
The site offers a chart that gives colleges a letter grade based on how they feel
the school emphasizes general education.
For example, when comparing Loyola
Marymount University and CSUSB, the
numbers proved fascinating.
In terms of their general education,
Loyola received a letter grade of an F and
CSUSB got a B. Loyola sustains an 80 percent graduation rate, while CSUSB sits at
45 percent.
Why do you
think they sustain an
80 percent graduation rate?
I believe one
reason is because
they place a smaller
emphasis on general
educations requirements and a core focus on major.
More students
finish with their undergraduate degree in
four years, the connection seems undeniable.
Former executive chancellor for academic affairs for the CSU system, David
S. Spence said, “We need to do everything
we can to help our students graduate. They
take so many courses they don’t really
need.
This would reward the hard working
General education
should only consist of one
year, as opposed to two,
and capstones should be
eliminated.
Rent texts,
high school students that already completed their high school degree, thus moving
to a more advanced general education but
only for one year.
Then, they would quickly transition to a more specialized area which
would help with their future and chosen
profession after graduation.
Some argue that reducing general
education requirements would produce an
overly focused education.
However, requiring a minor to be
chosen at the sophomore level would help
ensure a well-rounded education would be
secured.
Additionally, capstones are only for
money and revenue, they are not for our
overall benefit of “well rounded education”.
It would be more beneficial for the
students to focus and have a strong background in the area that they have chosen
and thus help give them a competitive
edge.
American students today need focus
and change to beat this national economy.
We need to arm our graduates with the
best weapons of knowledge and focus to
compete in this national and international
arena.
save big

It doesn’t matter if you buy textbooks
online or at the campus bookstore, it’s an
exhausting task, especially on your wallet.
We all know the campus bookstore
gouges us when we buy our books from
them and offer us pennies on the dollar
during buyback.
However, starting this fall quarter the
bookstore has offered us the option to rent
our textbooks instead of buying them. The
50 percent price discount is impressive and
the rent option is also cheaper than buying
a used copy of the textbook.
So why should you rent? One great,
obvious reason is so you can save money.
In these tough times I personally examine
all ways I can save money.
I have not purchased a textbook on campus for two years. I buy online because I
usually find my textbooks for less than 50
percent of the bookstore price.
The drawback to purchasing books online is you cannot see the condition of the
book. You also face the inconvenience of
waiting for the book to arrive. Sometimes I
cannot afford to wait two weeks for a book
I needed yesterday.
For those of us who wait until the last
minute to buy our books renting the book
on campus saves me time, money and possibly my grade.
What are the perks of renting? One perk
of renting is highlighting or writing in the
margins is acceptable. Water damage or
torn pages will cost you the price of the
book, but highlight away.
I decided to look into the option of renting this quarter. I found out that not all titles are available for rental and the publisher decides which titles can be rented. The
bookstore has no decision in the matter.
I was a little disappointed when my most
expensive text this quarter was unavailable to rent but quickly recovered when I
learned I needed three books for my English class. I was able to rent all three titles
for half of what I would have paid to purchase them all.
To rent textbooks you must have a state
issued ID and leave a credit card number
on file in case the book is lost or damaged.
If you’re like me and already buy used
books, renting them just makes sense. You
can rent the title for the full quarter term
and probably will not use the book again.
I did some research into renting texts on
campus versus online rentals. Barnes and
Noble and Chegg.com both offer rental options. At Chegg.com the rental time can be
extended but both sites offer enough time
to use the book for a semester or quarter
term without extending the time.
The price and rental terms are about the
same either online or here at the bookstore
so it would all depend on where you can
find the title you need for your class.
I love the rental option. I think the bookstore is smart to offer this option to us since
we must buy or obtain our books, plus the
bookstore is here on campus anyway, making it the most available thing for our budgets.

The reason we want a Verizon iPhone
An excerpt from the “Secret Diary of Steve Jobs,” a blog written
by Daniel Lyons, editor at Forbes magazine and writer for Newsweek, the
followings is from the popular “No-so-brief chat with AT&T“ that went
viral when the iPhone was first being rumored to appear with Verizon.
“... So let’s talk traffic. We’ve got people who love this damn phone so much that
they’re living on it. Yes, that’s crushing your network.
Yes, three percent of your users are taking up 40 percent of your bandwidth. You
see this as a bad thing. It’s not. It’s a good thing. It’s a blessing. It’s an indication that
people love what we’re doing, which means you now have a reason to go out and
double or triple or quadruple your damn network capacity.
Jesus! I can’t believe I’m explaining this to you. You’re in the business of selling
bandwidth. That pipe is what you sell. Right now what the market is telling you is that
you can sell even more! Lots more! Good Lord. The world is changing, and you’re
right in the sweet spot.
While I’m ranting, let me ask you something, Randall. At the risk of sounding like
Glenn Beck Jr. — what the $^&@ has gone wrong with our country? Used to be, we
were innovators.
We were leaders. We were builders. We were engineers. We were the best and
brightest. We were the kind of guys who, if they were running the biggest mobile network in the U.S., would say it’s not enough to be the biggest, we also want to be the
best, and once they got to be the best, they’d say, How can we get even better?
What can we do to be the best in the whole &$(!ing world? What can we do
that would blow people’s ^$*%ing minds? They wouldn’t have sat around wondering
about ways to &$#@ over people who loved their product. But then something happened.
... And now here we are.
Right here in your own backyard, an American company creates a brilliant phone,
and that company hands it to you, and gives you an exclusive deal to carry it — and all
you guys can do is complain about how much people want to use it. You, Randall Stephenson, and your lazy stupid company — you are the problem. You are what’s wrong
with this country.
I stopped, then. There was nothing on the line. Silence. I said, Randall? He goes,
Yeah, I’m here. I said, Does any of that make sense? He says, Yeah, but we’re still not
going to do it. See, when you run the numbers what you find is that we’re actually better off running a !&^$% network than making the investment to build a good one....”

That’s right, Apple’s exclusive contract with AT&T will end in January, making Apple’s iPhone a free agent.
But is Verizon’s iPhone too late?
The Wall Street Journal reported on
Oct. 6, that the Verizon’s iPhone “would
resemble the iPhone 4 currently sold by
AT&T, but would be based on an alternative wireless technology used by Verizon.”
Verizon Wireless and AT&T run on
different digital systems, making the adoption of the iPhone to the
Verizon Wireless family, in the past, nearly
impossible. This new
method brings faster
speed, comparable to a
broadband connection,
to Verizon’s iPhone,
finally giving true 4G
speeds.
Features such as
the iPhone’s video
chat will run smoother
and fewer calls will be
dropped on Verizon’s
new network, according to claims by company officials.
Some cell phone users, like me, may
have already lost faith in the iPhone.
Rumors have circulated for almost
three years about the iPhone coming to Verizon Wireless, without producing results.
I, for one, was once an Apple junkie.
I always wanted the newest iPod,
was raised on Macintosh computers and I
too, fell in love with the iPhone. But with
frustrations from being teased for years by
AT&T and Apple, the cost of over $250 to
cancel a current wireless contract, and the
eligibility for an upgrade, it is easy to see
why smartphone users have turned towards
alternatives.
It’s true that Apple may have been
innovative with their cell phone creation,
which paved the way for younger companies such as HTC and Samsung to create
their own cell phones and learn from Apple’s mistakes.
Blackberry has improved their ability
to support different media types and Blackberry Messenger can be very addicting.
Android has created powerful phones,
with the feature list
growing as new operating system updates are released.
Although,
Android
phones are new, in
their short time they
have managed to control over 20 percent of
the current cell phone
market, according to
Newsweek.
Potential iPhone
clients, like myself,
who were once in
awe of the iPhone,
have moved on and
purchased rival cell
phones such as the
Droid X, Blackberry Torch, or Samsung
Instinct.
Is Verizon’s new partnership with Apple their final attempt to try to dominate the
cell phone market?
Or maybe to remind young companies
like Android, that Apple leads the way in
innovation and creativity? I hope not.
I have kicked my Apple habit, fallen in
love with my Android phone and I would
never think of cheating on my new best
friend.
“With frustrations
from being teased for
years by AT&T and
Apple...it is easy to
see why smartphone
users have turned
towards alternatives.”

Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass) plays Abby, the eerie, misunderstood vampire child in the standout role in “Let Me In,” Matt Reeve’s adaptation of the Swedish vampire movie, “Let the Right One In.” The acclaimed film can be seen in theaters now.
Child stars wow horror audiences
“Let Me In” and “Case 39” make a devilishly good blockbuster duo, with Moretz and Ferland taking the lead
By STEVEN AVILA
Staff Writer
Kids are always tough in pairs and these terrifying
two need to be seen together. “Case 39” sets you up for a
ghastly ride and “Let Me In” delivers the final bite.
Two separate movies, “Case 39” and “Let Me In”
go hand in hand. Both feature preternaturally fearsome
young girls, one who revels in her nature and one who
fights against hers.
In “Case 39,” social worker Emily Jenkins (Renee
Zellweger) rescues Lily Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland) from
being murdered by her parents. For protection, Jenkins
takes the young Sullivan in.
As Sullivan admits to having bad thoughts about people and the unusual body count rises, it becomes clear to
Jenkins that there is much more to Sullivan than she lets
on.
Zellweger gives an honest effort in “Case 39,” but
falls short of the mark. Her acting doesn’t mix well with
horror.
Zellweger’s effort is mitigated though, by Ferland.
While Ferland portrayed an innocent child in 2006’s “Silent Hill,” she has gone to full-fledged demon child in
“Case 39.”
Ferland gives a great performance, able to come
across as quiet, sweet and utterly menacing in a single
scene. Her character plays against the conventions of the
little girl in distress.
While Bradley Cooper (Sullivan’s child psychologist) and Ian McShane (Jenkins’ detective friend) maintain
a strong on-screen presence, Sullivan really carries the
movie from beginning to end.
Most of all, the movie does an excellent job of dealing
with the issue of broken families and childhood trauma,
while adding a supernatural flair.
In terms of a double feature, Ferland and “Case 39”
brilliantly set up a feeling of dread and unease, but it
leaves the audience wanting more, which is when it’s time
to move to “Let Me In.”
Writer/director Matt Reeves, who also directed “Cloverfield” is at the top of his game. Reeves wrote a marvel-
ous remake of the Swedish film “Let the Right One In,”
based on the novel of the same name.
Reeves keeps several scenes pretty much intact from
the Swedish film, while adding his own style and tone to
the work.
In the best vampire movie since “30 Days of Night,”
“Let Me In” tells the story of Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee),
a boy living in a small town in New Mexico who befriends
his new neighbor, a young girl named Abby (Chloe Grace
Moretz). As their friendship develops, a trail of bodies
leads to Abby’s so-called father (Richard Jenkins) and
Owen is faced with the realization that his new friend has
a taste for blood.
Though Abby is the required vampire in this vampire
movie, the world of “Let Me In” is actually filled with
monsters. From Abby’s father, to the bullies that harass
Owen, it insightfully looks not just at Abby, but at the
monster in everyone.
Moretz, (who played Hit Girl in “Kick-Ass”), gives
a commanding depiction of Abby in “Let Me In.” She
draws empathy from the audience and comes across as a
girl with a genuinely good heart, despite her fearsome nature.
Moretz’s performance is punctuated by quiet dialogue, emotion-filled silences and chilling ferocity when
in full vampire mode. Even when she’s not saying a word,
she successfully hits a nerve just about every time she is
on camera.
Smit-McPhee’s performance compliments Moretz’s
very well. Just like he did in 2009’s “The Road,” he lights
up the screen.
He shows Owen to be afraid, yet fun-loving, and, in
many ways, just as strange as Abby.
In addition to the performances from the kids, Jenkins and Elias Koteas give simultaneously gripping and
frightening supporting performances as Abby’s “father”
and “the policeman,” respectively.
In the spirit of “The Grudge” and “The Ring,” Ferland
revives the creepy aesthetic of a little girl with long dark
hair.
Moretz in “Let Me In” brought back some much
needed dignity and fear to the vampire genre. It’s not a
movie for the faint of heart.
Bottom line: Moretz and Ferland bring terrifying and
goosebump-raising performances to the screen.
These movies are well worth the money to see.

The man behind the network
“The Social Network” shows us how one man’s own social life inspired the invention of our favorite addiction, Facebook
By JENNIFER BAUGH
Staff Writer
W
ith 500 million users
and counting, none can
deny the brilliance and
diabolicalness of Mark
Zuckerberg’s Facebook, as it simultaneously connects and isolates us.
It’s only likely that Columbia Pictures
would support director David Fincher in
sharing this story on a cinematic level.
However, if you are hoping to watch
this film on the basis of some sort of historical clarification as to the rise of this social
networking monopoly, think again. This is
by far, a more character-driven film.
What sets this movie apart is its portrayal of Zuckerberg as a cocky, yet socially-awkward genius disinterested in the
well being of those around him.
The start of the film introduces a
youthful bar scene filled with students near
the Harvard campus. It is here where we
are introduced to the undergraduate Harvard web-programmer’s crude, fast-talking
comments as we engage in a conversation
between the presumably, swollen-headed
Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and his girlfriend Erica (Rooney Mara).
This leads to him getting dumped as
she describes her dating him as “like dating a Stairmaster.” With the help of his
roommates, he begins to construct “FaceSmash,” a site where Harvard students may
choose which Harvard girl is the most attractive.
As the site reaches 22,000 hits within
a mere two hours, the university’s network
system crashes.
This act soon catches the attention of
two of Harvard’s most elite rowers, twins
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, played by
two actors Josh Pence and Armie Hammer.
The twins and colleague Divya Narendra (Max Minghella) agree to hire Zuckerberg to work with them in producing an
online dating service geared for Harvard
students called the “Harvard Connection.”
Just as Zuckerberg agrees to the task,
he soon realizes flaws in their strategy and
decides to construct his own site, “thefacebook”, funded by best friend Eduardo Sauverin (Andrew Garfield).
With all tension put in place, we are
brought into the future where Zuckerberg
faces lawsuits from two parties; the Winklevoss brothers joined with Narendra, and
Sauverin.
“The Social Network” presents a
sturdy cast with a most compelling performance by Eisenberg, who’s past work
should not be over looked with his performances in “The Squid and the Whale” and
most recently “Solitary Man” alongside
Michael Douglas.
The pairing of Fincher and writer
Aaron Sorkin seem like a match made in
heaven, and prove true on screen.
Their illustration of what Forbes Magazine had declared the youngest ever selfmade billionaire, suggests a man that is
transparent yet misunderstood, arrogant yet
redeemable. Zuckerberg, whether wanting
to or not created an online cacophony of a
social culture that he’s not quite apart of,
yet can’t get away from, nor can the rest

idea to first connect with girls, and later with friends, turned into one of the fastest growing phenomenons of the decade.
of us for that matter, as we seemingly are
forever logged in.
Fincher is best known for his mindbending thrillers such as “Se7en”, while
Sorkin is well crafted in writing dialogue
that’s fast-paced enough to hit you over the
head with phrases like “you can’t handle
the truth,” as heard in the film “A Few
Good Men”.
As the screen fades to black, you’ll
come to find that this is essentially a story
of a young man who chose to catch the
“3000 lb. marlin rather than the trout”. A
question of morality that leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
Banksy puts his mark on the big screen
The elusive limited release of “Exit Through the Gift Shop” casts shadows rather than light upon artist
By PATRICIA FISCHER
Staff Writer

One of Banksy’s iconic motifs; his humorous chimps/apes.
Courtesy of Banksy
A sort of self-portrait for Banksy, all the elements of regalness and gritty urban feeling set this artist apart.
Banksy’s documentary film, “Exit Through the Gift Shop,”
is the epitome of the notorious yet anonymous UK based stencil
artist’s lifestyle, without actually showing his lifestyle. Rarely any
appearance on film, wearing a black hooded jacket and distorted
voice to conceal his identity, the audience soon finds out the documentary is not about Banksy.
Leave it to Banksy to leave his audience with quite a surprise,
and no personal debut.
“Exit” is surprising, comical, and leads the viewer straight
into the cavity of urban art around the world.
Instead of getting a preview into the life of the famous stencil
artist, we are introduced to an interesting character, a Frenchman
by the name Thierry Guetta.
Guetta, a hyperactive and amateur home video maker, was
exposed to the world of urban street art on accident. With a video
camera in hand at all times, Guetta never missed a moment. His
introduction into this vast and semi-secret world of expression
through graffiti began with a friendly taping of his cousin Invader,
who recreates the “Space Invader” game around the city.
The hours of tape spent on his cousin were just the beginning.
Dark alleys, moonlit roof tops, and billboards became home for
the self proclaimed movie maker.
Guetta began to invest in hours of taping numerous street
artists and producing footage that would document the art of the
urban community. By this time, the Frenchman became known
around the streets for videotaping and at times, providing as an
accomplice for some.
With a new found obsession of street art, Guetta decides to
take his amateur video camera to document some not-so-amateur
artists. Starting with Shepard Fairey, founder of Obey, the propaganda based clothing line. Upon stumbling across Fairey at a local
Kinkos, Guetta soon encounters a once- in- a- lifetime opportunity, to show the infamous Banksy around the best graffiti walls
in Los Angeles.
Guetta would soon be known for his taping of the most notorious artist, filming the anonymous artist at work. Banksy was
now the main target for Guettas’ documentary. Although there
were strict rules on how to film were imposed, Guetta used this
friendship as the foundation to his coming success.
After befriending Banksy, Guetta becomes inspired to create
his own artwork. He decides to do his very first gallery in Los
Angeles called “Life is Beautiful,” and uses his gateway of self
promotion and exploitation of Shepard Fairey and Banksy as his
hype. Thierry Guetta morphs into his self made identity as “Brainwash.”
It worked. His overnight success from his so called “original” artwork can be accredited to Banksy. As the movie concludes
commentary from both Fairey and Banksy condemn Guetta for his
claim of original art, which is surprisingly similar to that of Andy
Warhol, Obey, and Banksy himself.
I’m left wondering whether or not Banksy, Fairey, and other
of Guettas’ inspiring artists are to blame or applaud for Guetta’s
success.
Overall I recommend the “documentary” type film to all urban art enthusiasts, egoists, and for Banksy fans, even though he
isn’t as present as the little annoying Frenchman Thierry Guetta.
The film is rated (R) and narrated by Rhys Ifans with appearances by Obeys’ very own Shepard Fairey and the still anonymous
Banksy.
You can catch the film today, Oct. 11 or tomorrow Oct. 12 in
Los Angeles at the New Beverly Cinema.

Still fist pumping
By ISABEL TEJADA
Staff Writer
The muscles, the tanning, the poof,
the nails, and don’t forget the fist pump!
These seem to be some of the essentials for
the cast of MTV’s hit reality show Jersey
Shore.
The fist pumping, tan loving cast started their love and hate relationships in December 2009 for season one.
Here the eight roommates: Snooki,
The Situation, Sammy, Ronnie, Pauly D,
Angelina, Vinny, and J Woww live in a
world where first impressions are everything.
Drama can describe most of the first
season as it involves everything from hook
ups, some with roommates and others
with random people at the club to fights
between roommates or outsiders, and the
drama is 24/7;
Season two of Jersey Shore aired in
July 2010, but this time the cast flew to
Miami.
So far in this season Sammy and Ron
have reconciled but Ron sneaks around behind Sammy’s back.
J Woww, Snooki, and Angelina write
Sam an anonymous letter telling her the
whole truth about Ron. This little act blows
up into a catfight between J Woww and
Sammy.
After more hookups, breakdowns and
long hours at the ice-cream shop Angelina
stirs up a fight with The Situation.
Angelina gets called a, “Dirty little
hamster” tells her roommates how she really feels about them which makes Snooki
go into a rampage against Angelina who
leaves the show again.
Throughout the episodes the show has
not changed as much. The only difference
could be that the cast members seem to be
more energetic and in your face type of attitude within each other.
The Jersey Shore has created so much
hype that that’s all people talk about. People go crazy with The Situation’s abs, their
infamous fist pump, and their crazy life
style.
Many people love their craziness’ yet
others cannot stand it.
Both ways the Jersey Shore cast is still
doing what they love to do and they are
going to keep going strong until they can’t
pump another fist.
Whether you follow the crew in earnest or laugh at their antics, Jersey Shore
provided as one of this summer’s entertaining shows and continues to deliver that
right amount of ridiculousness.
“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” is
a depiction of the stock market as we know
it today. The movie takes place in New
York during the housing market’s crash
many years after Gordan Gekko (Michael
Douglas), was sent to prison.
The movie starts with Gekko’s release
and it centers on a young up-and-coming
stock trader Jacob Moore (Shia Lebeouf).
He and Gekko form a partnership and together they devise a plan to get revenge on
Bretton James, (Josh Brolin) for causing
Jacob Moore’s mentor’s death.
For being a movie that was so highly
anticipated by fans of Oliver Stone’s original “Wall Street” and having such a heavy
hitting ensemble, you would think the
movie would be amazing.
This however, was not the case as the
movie definitely falls flat, as do most sequels. I should have realized I was in for
a disappointment when I walked into the
theater and there was only one other couple
there to watch.
Though I thought the premise of the
movie was interesting, I felt it fell short on
many accounts. One of these shortcomings
was the fact that the plot was very convoluted. I felt that it bounced around between
many plots.
The most noteworthy was the shift
from being a movie about corporate America to being a movie about the relationships
between the characters. To me it seemed
like it was two movies combined into one
script.
It also didn’t feel like any of the characters were all that endearing or that audiences could identify with any of them.
The characters seemed to abruptly change
throughout the movie, in a stop action fashion. The dislocation of the change in characters made it difficult for the movie to be
believable.
It seemed as though Stone would do
anything to get to that contrived Hollywood happy ending. Unfortunately in doing so, Stone led the movie down the path
of boredom.
Siren songs of the summer
Kate Perry’s latest album made a splash over summer
Courtesy of Myspace Music
By BRITTANY SHAW
Staff Writer
Katy Perry’s newest album Teenage Dream was the soundtrack of the summer for
many teenage girls.
The song “California Gurls” was ranked at the top of Billboard’s Top 100 all summer long, and was just about impossible to avoid. It played on the radio, gyms and night
clubs constantly.
California Gurls/we’re unforgettable/daisy dukes bikinis on top/sun-kissed skin, so
hot we’ll melt your popsicle.
These are just a few of the fierce lyrics from the song, but not even the lyrics prove
how fierce Perry can be.
“I’m not saying, ‘Oh, my God! “California Gurls” is a genius opus!’ I just know
what kind of card this summer needs, and that’s the one I’m playing,” Perry said to Billboard Magazine.
In fact, it was a genius card to play, turning Perry into a bigger music star then she
already was.
Perry’s songs are so upbeat and catchy, even guys are getting caught singing along.
It’s very typical to see a guy drive down the freeway with “California Gurls” blaring
out of his car. Another aspect that makes this song appeal to boys is the fact that rapper
Snoop Dogg is featured. He comes out rapping half way through the song, making quite
an impact of the hit song.
Although “California Gurls” is the most popular, it’s not the only great song on this
album. It’s accompanied by the hits, “Teenage Dream” and “Hummingbird Heartbeat.”
These songs are more about love and dreams you strive for in life. In the summer, it
seems every girl is focused on looking good and attracting that perfect boy.
Teenage Dream hits all the main points you’d expect from a good summer album.
You have your typical love songs, your upbeat dancing songs and your emotional,
yet inspirational songs. This album is unforgettable, fierce and fun. It brings many more
elements to the music world that had yet to be introduced by previous artists.
Perry has the, “girls just want to have fun” innocence about her but she also has a
little bit of a bad girl side that makes everyone think she may just be a little wild.
Her music has evolved so much from her last record to Teenage Dream. She seems
to be trying to make a name for herself and stand to out creatively.
Teenage Dream was the hit album of the summer, whether it brings good, bad, or fun
memories, when we look back at summer 2010, Perry’s album will always be apart of it.

actions speak
louder than words
By SHARONDA HARRIS
Staff Writer
Students are taking action and lending
a hand as well as becoming good examples
in society. For one club on campus, Christianity serves as the motivation for these
efforts.
Character in Action (CIA) was founded in the Fall 2007 in order to help spread
the word of Christianity through servicing
the campus and community.

Tuesdays are open to the general public
on the first and third Tuesday of the month
at 7:30 p.m. in the Santos Manuel Student
Union (SMSU). The students CIA committee meets every Tuesday in the SMSU theater at 7 p.m.
Lee started CIA because he wanted
Christianity to be shown through drama
and visual art.
“All the Greeks ruled the school and
being called Christian was cliché,” said
Lee.
CIA has successfully multiplied since
2007. On average, 300 attendees take part

I love having a club founder who is also a
student because it’s easy for him to relate
to our struggles.”
Both Brittney Brownridge and Kelsie
Lewis, who are continuous attendees of
CIA, said that it has improved their experiences.
“I continue to come to CIA because
of it’s uplifting, great choirs, drama, and
mime dance; plus it’s in the middle of the
week, and I like to support my friends in
CIA.”
“CIA student leadership is important because it is practice to help prepare
yourself for issues you will face in the real
world,” said Lewis.
Lee’s advice for youth and students
who desire to become leaders on campus,
and in the community is to stay focused
and to never give up.
CIA believes that you are never too
young to start making a difference in your
home, at school, and throughout your com-
munity, and they put this belief into action
through their efforts in reaching and teaching character.
A huge charity project that CIA will
be involved in this holiday season is the

Frustrated students ‘fess up
By JUSTINE DESAUTELS-ZARBATANY & MAUDE TESDALE
Staff Writer
There is only one thing on Viki Bernard Rivière’s mind when she is asked
what her biggest annoyance is.
“For me, it’s definitely the transportation. Compared to Quebec, where I come
from in Canada, the cabs take forever to
arrive. For the buses, I’m not familiar with
the system yet,” said Rivière.
For other students, commuting alone
is something that gets old. Whether it’s
driving at a snail’s pace due to traffic or
weathering the long trek alone, it’s enough
to put some people in an irritable mood.
Fellow commuter Naela Cansino and
CSUSB student understands the trouble
it is to be a student that doesn’t live on or
near campus.
“It’s a nuisance with traffic and the
weather, it’s time wasted. It sucks!” said
Cansino.
As if commuting wasn’t bad enough,
add to this the frustration of trying to find
parking- particularly when you’re late for
class and the lot next to your building is
already full.
Besides the daily driving hassles, there
are a lot of places on campus that bother
students. The food court and Starbucks are
only a few of them.
The food court is typically an area
where students can meet to eat lunch together. Unfortunately, at rush hours, it’s
packed and you can’t always find a decent
spot.
It is the same situation with Starbucks.
Most of the time, the line seems endless,
and your craving goes away by the time
you get to order.
Jennifer Poron, a student at CSUSB,
couldn’t agree more.
“Every time I want to go, there is always a big line. Once I waited, and it was
kind of slow, and I didn’t know why it took
so long,” Poron said.
Some other ways to get your coffee fix
would be to check out the Coyote Bookstore or the new Cafe au Lib in the library,
both of which offer half the wait time for
the same energizing boost.
Another situation that some students
get annoyed with is additional fees that
come after paying the initial tuition. For
some classes, you need to pay lab fees, and
on top of that the books for most classes
are expensive.
“When I saw the prices for all the
books I had to purchase, I was shocked.
Some of them go up to $200. At least we
can buy them used, or online, or even rent
them. That helps a lot,” said student Maggy Bougie.
Social life is certainly an important
aspect to consider for a student and it can
also be stressful.
Narine Amroyan, a student originally
from Rhode Island, talked about how different things are on this side of the country.
“Travelling across the country was a
big step in my life. I didn’t know what to
expect. It was really hard to be alone at first
but I’m adjusting slowly. I’m trying to get
involved as much as I can in groups and
activities on campus to meet people,” said
Amroyan.
Whatever your pet peeve is, there is
always a way to improve your situation
so that it doesn’t bother you all the time.
Make sure to plan ahead so you won’t get
frustrated with these everyday life situations.

Sigma Nu, first established at the Virginia Military Institute in 1869, currently
has over 275 chapters throughout the
U.S. and Canada. Its CSUSB chapter was
founded in 1990.
Since its inception, Sigma Nu’s local
chapter has been dedicated to promoting
the values of love, honor, and truth among
its members by encouraging them to volunteer within their communities.
Jeff Dominguez, a Sigma Nu member
and spokesperson, believes that volunteering has many positive effects.
“It benefits a man’s character to be

Jonathan Marquez proudly represents his fraternity. Helping out in the community is one of the many things they do.
willing to help out other people instead of
just concentrating on himself,” he said.
The fraternity has participated in several volunteer projects both on and off
campus over the last year. Many of these
projects benefited charities and other philanthropic organizations.
Last year, it held a charity date auction
which raised $2,300 for the Andre Sobel
River of Life Foundation, an institution
that provides financial assistance to needy
families.
In the spring, it raised $1,200 for breast
cancer research in collaboration with Zeta
Tau Alpha and other fraternities.
Sigma Nu members feel that volunteering is an extremely rewarding experience.
“I like helping someone who otherwise wouldn’t be able to receive help,”
said Brett Nicholas, a fraternity brother.
Aside from serving the needs of those
within their communities, Sigma Nu members also do their part to help the environment.
On Sept. 11, several of them partnered
with United Way, a community-focused
organization, to help pick up trash in a Riverside park.
Now that the new school year has begun, Sigma Nu has its eyes on recruiting
new members. Its rush began last week and
will continue until Oct. 14.
While current Sigma Nu members
are excited about new fraternity additions,
they want to ensure that like-minded people join.
For Jeff Dominguez, like-minded people are “those who live out the values of
love, honor, and truth in their daily lives.”
He and other members try to educate
potential recruits not just about Sigma
Nu but other fraternities as well in order
to help them decide which is a best fit for
them.
When it comes to educating people on
their own fraternity, Sigma Nu never uses
the hard sales approach. For them, it isn’t
about numbers.
“We’d rather have quality than quantity,” said Dominguez.
Regardless of how many people show
up to their rush events, Dominguez and
others will have plenty of good things to
say about Sigma Nu.
Gus Shalabi, a fraternity brother, has
enjoyed Sigma Nu because of the diversity
within the group itself.
Meanwhile, Dominguez is proud to
have surrounded himself with “gentlemen”
who abide by the principles of love, honor,
and truth – particularly honor.
“Honor is something everyone should
have,” he said.

CSUSB police shares resources with Chaffey
CSUSB’s University Police Department is working with the Chaffey College Campus Police Department to provide a unique shared police dispatch
service.
The combined dispatch operation allows communications with both campus police departments through a single dispatch center.
“Collaborating, partnering and sharing quality services with other law enforcement agencies presents the type of opportunities that law enforcement
administrators are seeking to promote in order to both enhance operational efficiency and to save taxpayer money,” said CSUSB Police Chief Jimmie Brown.
Based at CSUSB, the new service was launched on Sept. 1, and both agencies have already benefited from the partnership. CSUSB has a fall enrollment
of about 17,000 students, while enrollment this semester at Chaffey College
in Rancho Cucamonga and its campuses in Chino and Fontana is more than
20,000 students, further elevating the need for student services.

MLB teams heads for home as
postseason starts strong
By NICK HOLDING
Staff Writer
The MLB playoffs are already living up to the hype,
starting with a bang as Phillies Cy Young candidate Roy
Halladay threw a no-hitter in his first ever playoff start.
Halladay did something against the Reds in game one
that has only been done once before in postseason play. He
joined Don Larson in pitching the first no-hit playoff game
since the 1956 World Series.
“You know it’s just one of those special things you’ll
always remember,” said Halladay during a press conference. “The best part about it is… the playoffs take priority,
and it’s pretty neat for me to go out and win a game like
that.”
The Phillies finished with a 97-65 regular season record, winning the NL East by six games. In addition to
Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels make things difficult for teams who oppose the talented Phillies.
The NL Central champion Cincinnati Reds went into
the series as one of the best teams in the NL. Dusty Baker
leads the group that hit 188 home runs and drove in 761
runs this season, more than any other playoff team, including the Phillies.
Earlier in the day, the first round of the playoffs began
with the Tampa Bay Rays and the Texas Rangers, both of
whom have limited playoff experience.
Manager Joe Maddon led the Rays; finished the regular season with a record of 96-66, besting the Yankees by
one game to win the AL East.
Cy Young candidate David Price struggled in game
one, giving up five runs and taking the loss as Texas starter
Cliff Lee dominated the Rays. Rangers OF Nelson Cruz
hit a huge home run as the Rangers took control of the
series with a 5-1 victory.
Although Price didn’t have his best game he brings
hope to Rays fans, and leads a starting rotation that is one
of the deepest in the league.
The Rangers won the West by posting a 90-win campaign, getting past the rival Los Angeles Angels. The
Rangers haven’t made the playoffs since facing the Yankees in 1999.
The other NL Division Series begins in San Francisco
with the Giants and Braves meeting in the playoffs for the
first time since 2002, which the Giants won.
The Giants needed all 162 games to defeat the San Diego Padres in order to gain entry into the playoffs, winning
the NL West by a mere one game. The Giants are not unlike the Phillies in the sense that they both have dominant
starting pitching, including the two time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and up-and-comer Jonathan
Sanchez.
The Braves counter with three quality starting pitchers of their own, Derek Lowe, Tommy Hanson, and Tim
Hudson, who was named the comeback player of the year
after having Tommy John out for surgery.
The Braves story begins and ends with Bobby Cox,
the Hall of Fame manager who is retiring at the end of the
year. This is the first trip to the postseason for the Braves
since 2005.
The other AL division series between the Yankees and
Twins is one that fans should be familiar with, both teams
know each other well having met in three postseasons, this
time there is one difference.
In previous years, games one and two were played in
New York with the Yankees capturing the home field ad-

Volleyball team sets sight on the net
By CHRISTIAN MARTINEZ
Staff Writer
Although ranked No. 4 in the Coaches Top 25 Poll,
CSUSB women’s volleyball team aren’t content with resting on their laurels.
Already off to a 12-1 start and a 9-0 standing in the
conference, they are led by key returning players and recognizable team chemistry. Confidence plays a pivotal role
for the team as they set their sights on a national championship.
“Confidence naturally translates into more team
chemistry and willingness which allows the team to play
with more aggression and physicality; an also added year
of maturity plays into it,” said Head Coach Kim Cherniss.
Along with confidence, having a focused mindset and
a level of self motivation and boldness, CSUSB women’s
volleyball is expecting a stellar remainder of the season.
When asked if the team was playing with a chip on
their shoulder from last year’s loss to Concordia University in the National Semifinals, Coach Cherniss responded
with declination.
“When you get close to a national championship, it’s
tantalizing. You want to go back and do it again. There was
no chip on any of our shoulders, we as a team did not do
anything untoward,” she said.
“When you get as close as we did last year, you figure
that since we are almost there, we are positive we can do
this now,” Cherniss continued.
The team is led by senior Jane Chafeh, who had a
notable performance last season when she was named the
Next games:

San Francisco State
-October 16, against CSU East Bay
Daktronics West Regional Player of the Year, named to the
All-CCAA first team, and picked to the AVCA and Daktronics All-American first team as well as the All-West
Region teams.
“Chafeh is clearly one of the most dynamic and fierce
attackers in the country and is putting up good numbers
and hitting for a good percentage. We all suspect that she
will continue to only improve and as well as do a great job
defensively. She serves a primary role to this team,” said
Cherniss.
Though being high-ranked in the polls, CSUSB
women’s volleyball is expected to have a strong nationally
competitive program. However, the conference this year
brings much competition to the courts.
Coach Cherniss feels that this season is much different from the previous one and that the underdog teams are
rising in the rankings. Teams like CSU Monterey Bay (102) and CSU East Bay (12-3) are working just as hard for a
championship run.
“We have to play every game like it’s the top seed in
the conference, every single team is just as competitive as
the next,” said Cherniss.
As far as predictions for the remainder of the season,
Cherniss hopes to compete for a conference championship
and has driven the team to do so. She says seeing how the
second round of play in previous years will contribute to
getting the job done for a championship this year.
Cherniss is also hopeful to have a high seed in the
NCAA West Regional Tournament and possibly host it and
most importantly, play in an Elite 8 Championship.

“We want to show everyone what we are truly made of. To underestimate us would

So far, the team has faced some tough competition, and they have to make sure they
are all on the same page. They have made it a point to have more team bonding time, just
to make sure they are on the same page on and off the field.
The lady ‘Yotes have solid leadership in returning players, like as Unity Beddingfield
and Katie Liby.
They also have fresh new talent in sophomore Jani Carmona, a transfer from Hawaii
Hilo, who has previously played for Clarke.
The team practices hard and it shows on the field. Their quickness and ease with the
ball show off the amazing talent on the team this year.
“We have all the tools to be the best team out there. We just have to figure out how to
put it all together,” Jones said.
These ladies have some serious drive, and are determined to make this season the
best it can be. The talent is there, and so is the dedication.
Look for the team to be very successful this year, and come out to watch their exciting games!
