With the ASCC student govern-ment elections right around the corner, it is clear that a change

is going to come. The spotlight was on the candidates on

April 1, as students and staff gathered in the quad to hear four presidential hopefuls talk about the change they would like to bring to student government. A “race” for president is not a common event on cam-pus, as in recent years, the top ASCC spot is often uncontested.

Not this year. The four candidates in-clude James Applewhite II, Jackie Con-treas, incumbent Jason Wright, and John Schultz.

Another battle is on for the vice presi-dential spot, where three candidates have entered. They are Kansas Morgan, Jia

Clark, and Leticia Romero.Students in the crowd at the debate were

asked to fill out a piece of paper with a few thoughtful questions to ask the students who are running for student government.

Some of the questions students came up with were, “ What would you do to involve students more with campus activities and the local community?” Or, “What would you do to improve campus security, the cafeteria, and parking?”

Bringing about positive change to rep-resent the voices of Chaffey students is the spoken word amongst the candidates. These students that are running are yearn-ing to be the voice for all Chaffey students, and they are going to do what it takes to see to it that they get the votes that they need to succeed in this election.

“It is good to see students getting in-volved in school activities like this, the turn out was really good,” said psych ma-jor Keith Spann. “I just want to know what they’re going to do to make our school a better campus.”

In addition to the top two spots on the ballot, six students are running for Senator positions. They are Bryant Abodoh, Ilse R. Argueta, Andrea Cabrera, Rachel Dailey, incumbent Christiy Tirtatunggal, and Ni-colas Walker.

All of the candidates must be currently enrolled in six units during this semester, and must have completed six units in the fall of 2008. Candidates must have a GPA of 2.25 to run and remain in office. Candi-dates must also sign an agreement stating that they will abide by the election rules,

policies, and procedures.Prior to declaring for office, candidates

had to gather 25 signatures of currently en-rolled Chaffey students to be eligible.

In addition to choosing their student representatives, voters will also choose faculty and staff of the year.

Candidate statements and photos ap-pear in this special election edition on pages 6-7.

Students interested in voting should be aware that the polls open differently on all three Chaffey campuses. Fontana’s campus voted last Thursday and the Chino campus votes April 6 from 1 p.m.-4 p.m.

At the main campus, students can vote in the Student Activities Lounge on April 7, 8, and 9 from 8:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m., and from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

BEEN BETTER JIMMY PurCell

With the recent screening for 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama at the Lewis Family Playhouse,

it got me thinking. With all of the luxuries that average American students have, we tend to never fight the good fight. We have superficial motives and a tendency to never go out of our way to help others who need it.

The film 10 Questions… doesn’t raise those exact points; it is more a vivid telling of an interview with a great man. I don’t see eye to eye with the things that the Dalai Lama believes or says, but he is a man who is well aware that he is only a man. The film does show how daily life is for people in Northern India who have been kept away from their culture and rightful land of Tibet.

This past March marked the 50th anniversary of China invading Tibet. For the past 50 years, societies have stood by and done nothing to help these people. The most we can do is send out petitions and have live concerts. Which is odd because the Dalai Lama is one of the most beloved individuals in the world, yet all government officials want to do is just take pictures with him.

On the surface level he is just a photo op, but the real underlying issue is that everyone is afraid to help. China is quickly becoming the largest market for Western economies. Not one of these countries want to risk losing all the revenue or want to threaten China by standing up for the little guy.

With the past celebration of the Chinese New Year, Tibetans decided not to celebrate as a form of protest due to it being the 50th anniversary of Tibet being taken over by the Chinese government. Tibet was on lockdown, and armed Chinese guards stood by to make sure no one was able to enter or escape.

For as big and as powerful as China is, they are almost frightened of the Dalai Lama and his followers. They criticize him at any chance and they call him a tyrant for wanting to be with his people.

The Chinese government also adds that when they “liberated” Tibet, it was equivalent to the North winning the American Civil war, and calling it, “one

of the greatest achievements in the anti-slavery struggle.” All of it is propaganda that is being fed to the billion plus people that will listen and believe it. They only allowed the website Google to set up in China, if they regulated searches for the Dalai Lama, and had only negative articles show up.

The Chinese government is so afraid

of the Dalai Lama and the devotion of his people, that when it came time for the Dalai Lama to choose a Panchen Lama, who is second on the totem pole to the Dalai Lama and helps find the next incarnation, China took the Dalai Lama’s choice and put him under “protective custody.” Then China moved to nominate its own Panchen Lama.

The US government has tried many

times to have the guarantee of the boy’s safety, only to be denied by the Chinese government. It is speculated that after the current Dalai Lama’s death, that China, with help from the Panchen Lama, will choose its own Dalai Lama and use him as a puppet for the government. History has shown that this is not only possible but also almost a foregone conclusion.

The American government has shown that is it not afraid of annoying the Chinese government by meeting with and awarding the Dalai Lama accolades. In 2006, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. It upset the mighty Eastern power so much that the Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said, “It seriously violates the norm of international relations and seriously wounded the feelings of the

Chinese people and interfered with China’s internal affairs”

The Chinese government has been consistently breaking down the morale of the Tibetan people. They have used torture, coercion, and starvation to bend the people to their will.

When China took over Tibet, they later outlawed all religious practice, over 4,000 monasteries were destroyed and monks are either imprisoned or “re-educated.” I am not the most religious person, I don’t go to church often, nor do I feel the need to. But being raised under American values all my life, it is infuriating to see a culture victimized to this extent. No matter what religion, race, creed, or culture one has, not one human being should be forced out and beaten like the Tibetans have been.

Now mind you, it is not as bad as other cultures in the past, but it is inexcusable in today’s climate. After World War II, as a people we decided that never again will we let dictators and cowards hammer down a culture. But as one looks around our planet all I can see is that it is happening again, but it’s OK, because it’s happening to poorer and darker skinned human beings.

As our generation sits idly by and watches TV, plays video games, or listens to saturated music, we should take some time and pay attention to what is happening in our world.

There is constant death in Darfur from vile dictators to the sweeping famine. There is more to life than the small bubble that we all live in. For some, the end of the world is when you can’t get those new shoes or the hottest downloads on iTunes. But there are people in the world who rummage through whatever debris they can find and make shoes out of bottles of water and string. Everyone can be a McGuyver, if the poverty line is low enough.

So do something that takes little effort from you but means the world to others. Fight for something. If you want to be part of a change this is the time.

The 14th Dalai Lama said, “World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not the absence of violence. Peace is the manifestation of human compassion.”

A screening put on by the Spanish Club, “Innocent Voices” drew many students and professors to

the theatre on March 27.“Innocent Voices” is based on the

screenwriter, Oscar Torres’ real life experiences during the long twelve-year war that took place in El Salvador during the 80’s.

The film deals with the crude reality of what occurred during that war, including

recruiting young boys to fight as soldiers in the army.

The film presents the struggles the main character, Chava, representing Oscar Torres as a little boy, had to undergo. Among the many struggles he faces, helping his mother provide for the family becomes a battle of its own.

“It’s very powerful,” said Mercedes Limon, Spanish Club advisor and Spanish professor, “It’s very real.”

Professor Limon said she hopes that students gain an understanding of what

goes on in this world after watching this film.

Because “Innocent Voices” deals with a young boy’s encounter with the war and his fight to stay out of it, the film provided the audience with a lot of pain.

Small parts of the film brought smiles and laughter to relieve the audience of the enormous pain felt throughout the entire film.

“Innocent Voices” also provided the viewers with a little love story involving Chava and a classmate of his, which

brought some joy and playfulness among all the sadness.

“It seemed to capture his emotion well,” said Ashley Jones, an undecided major.

After the screening of the film, screenwriter Oscar Torres answered various questions dealing with his journey during and after the long war.

Torres said that what got him through it all was love.

Amid the pain and sorrow the film presents itself with, “Innocent Voices” offers a story mainly filled with hope.

‘Innocent Voices’ Offers Moving Story of Pain, HopeJulIe COsgrOve

When Chris McCandless strode into the wilderness, like many of us who enjoy mountain trails, he

underestimated the wild and gambled with his ability to survive all on his own.

His fate proved to be starvation and death, one that was “extremely uncomfortable,” according to nutrition Professor Candice Tinsley as she addressed an audience of almost 50 crowded into a small classroom in the Health Sciences Building.

In a talk that explored the medical and scientific aspects of malnutrition and starvation, Tinsley explained exactly what happens to the body when it is deprived of the calories (food) needed to function.

First, the body uses up all the glucose available and when no food replenishes the body’s storage, it begins to cannibalize first body fat and then protein and muscle. The organs become starved and, unable to run normally, begin to slow down, starting a downward spiral that, unchecked, leads eventually to death in about three weeks.

There is hunger in America. “12% of American households live in a state of food insecurity,” according to Tinsley. “Most of those households have young children.” Food insecurity means people are uncertain whether they will have a next meal.

And as part of her educational rotation

as a dietitian, she has worked in a homeless shelter where officials were forced to advise their clients how to find food in dumpsters still healthy enough to eat.

At the same time, Tinsley noted, “67% of adults in our nation are overweight, but likely to be malnourished.”

As a dietitian, she has witnessed Americans dying in hospitals because of

malnutrition brought on by unhealthy eating habits. “That 67% can be malnourished even if they are heavy,” she concluded.

In Alaska, where McCandless died, Tinsley was surprised to find the rate of hunger close to the national average, 12.4%.

Despite the growing phenomenon of hunger in our community, Tinsley seemed more interested in criticizing popular notions about weight loss, noting that low carbohydrate and high protein diets can lead to malnutrition by forcing the body into the same starvation syndromes.

To lose weight, she asserted, one needs to eat a low calorie but balanced diet, including carbohydrates.

She concluded with the advice: “To avoid the damaging effects of starving

or fasting the next time you walk alone in the wilderness, be prepared, pack lots of healthy snacks, pack lots of fluids, and pace yourself.”

Candice Tinsley is a Professor of Nutrition and Foods at Chaffey College and is also Hotel and FS Coordinator.

Surviving the Wilderness of Starvation, Nutrition

President/Student TrusteeJames Applewhite II

A dream you dream alone is just a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. I am James Applewhite II, a senator in ASCC. I would like to bridge the gap between students and faculty. I share your struggles and concerns. I am you. I strongly believe with your help electing me as president there will be no limit to what we can ac-

complish. I know exactly how it feels to have something to say, but also have the fear of not being heard. Together our voices will not be ignored. Our dreams will be made into reality.

President/Student TrusteeJackie Contreras

After serving as the ASCC Commissioner of Ac-tivities for the 2008-2009 academic school year, I feel that I have gained the experience and knowl-edge need to serve as the 2009-2010 President/Student Trustee. Having had the opportunity of working with students from diverse backgrounds this year, I believe that as President/Student Trustee I can positively represent every student at ALL campuses. I am passionate about helping and will always have an open door policy for

students. I thank you in advance for you support.

President/Student Trustee John Schultz

my name is John Schultz and I’m ready for a fight. I am ready to fight for what the students here at Chaffey need. I am willing to stand up for the rights students demand. I’m willing to fight for more of the amenities students crave, and I’m willing to fight for not only the honors students, but all students here at Chaffey. Come election Day do you want the nice person back-ing you, or do you want the guy waiting in your corner ready to get down and dirty and put up a

fight.

President/Student TrusteeJason Wright

my name is Jason Wright and I am running for President, and Student Trustee. I am the current Chaffey College Student Body Presi-dent, and Student Trustee. I have the experi-ence necessary to excel in this position. Under my leadership book, grants and scholarships were increased. I have fostered great rela-tionships with students, student leaders, and administrators all over the state. I have been a

positive representation of the student populace, and will continue to promote Chaffey awareness throughout the community.

Vice President Jia Clark

In many situations in life there is often an element of surprise. In my life there have been plenty of surprises. my first attempt at Chaffey was unsuccessful. However, with perseverance, endurance, determination and support I was able to get back on track. I used my resources. my G.P.A rose from 1.4 to a 3.7. Allow me to be your resource. With me, as Vice President the support that the students need is the support

that the students will receive. A lack of support creates weakness within the structure

Vice PresidentKansas Morgan

With many of us working and/or taking care of families, college can be a difficult place. My goal as ASCC Vice President is to change that. As a full-time student and single mother, I know how difficult college can be. As Vice President, I will strive to make sure every student can be successful at Chaffey College. I will establish lectures that touch every student at Chaffey College. I served as Senator on the

2008-2009 ASCC board and I am secretary of Changing the Globe; serving others is my passion and calling. Please allow me to serve you as your 2009-2010 Vice President.

Vice President Leticia Romero

my name is Leticia Romero, I have served as an ASCC representative since July 2008. I have had the opportunity to learn many leadership skills from being an ASCC Senator, and now as Chaffey’s ASCC Commissioner of Inter-Club Council. My responsibilities are to oversee all of

the all the clubs on campus. I have been apart of a great team that has brought about many great changes here on campus. It has been a great experience working for all the students at Chaffey College. As Chaffey’s elected Vice President I plan to continue implementing posi-tive changes that benefit every student that attends this college.

SenatorByrant Abodoh

As current Senator of Associated Students of Chaffey College, I find that it is important to keep an open ear to your needs. I am aware that a lot of these concerns have not received appropriate attention. That is why I am running for Senator, because I am willing to fight for

those changes in the student body that benefits us as students. I have also face adversity as a student. It is the time for us to take a stand and see to it that our problems are addressed. Fulfillment of those needs start with your vote.

Senator Ilse R. Argueta

From serving as a Senator my purpose con-tinues to be to represent the students, create activities, lectures, and events that will be beneficial to all. As a Senator it will be my duty to represent and voice your opinions; always listening to your concerns. In these tough economic times we must have better control;

of how we manage our budget and as a Senator I will make the best decisions that meet the needs of all the students.

Senator Andrea Cabrera

Although I have been at Chaffey College for 2 ½ years, I have not been as active as I would like to be. There are many things I would like to see changed at Chaffey and rather com-plaining I want to get involved and become the change. I want to represent all students at Chaffey, especially those who are not involved

enough to have their voices heard. As ASCC Senator for the 2009-2010 year, I will work hard to make Chaffey a better place for all students.

SenatorRachel Dailey

I would like to use my organizational and mo-tivational skills to make a difference at Chaffey College by being a school senator. Chaffey College offers its students a great education and many different opportunities. I would like to enhance the college experience by getting more students involved. I enjoy helping my school and community. I am a well rounded individual

who is involved in the Chaffey Honors Program and clubs. I am an empathetic person who relates to others well. I feel confident that I am a qualified candidate for this position.

SenatorChristy Tirtatunggal

I am rerunning for the position of Senator for the student government. I’m already a senator this semester and I am hoping to continue to be a senator for the next semester. The student gov-ernment for the Chaffey College is an important part of my life because I love being involved in the community and being able to help out in any way I can. I would love to continue participating

in the government activities and be a representative of the student voice. So don’t forget to use the power of YOUR student voice and vote! Hopefully for me Christy Tirtatunggal.

SenatorNicholas Walker

I am a firm believer that knowledge is power. my objective in running for Senate is to work closely with other ASCC officers and faculty advisors, to aim towards getting more students informed and possibly involved in activities around campus and in the community. I feel that if my fellow classmates here at Chaffey are more informed

and involved in our school then well-rounded decisions can be better made by students, to guarantee more healthy and successful futures. many students are unaware of activities here on campus, I want to start by making students knowledgeable of activities here at Chaffey.

Breeze staff members Opinion Editor John Schultz, Adviser Doug Walsh, Photo Editor Julie Cosgrove, Staff Writer Andrea T. Smith, Staff Writer Alan Aguilera, Features Editor Angelica Davalos, and News Editor Marvis Brown surround their hero, Graphics Editor Jimmy Purcell who took home four awards from the Journalism Association of Community College’s State Conference in Sacramento.

Seven Breeze staff mem-bers traversed to our state’s capitol and had the opportu-nity to partake in a conven-tion held by the Journalism Association of Community Colleges.

The convention was held over the weekend of March 26-28 and featured many workshops and competi-tions for aspiring journalists to attend.

Graphics editor Jimmy Purcell garnered four awards in total, including 3 in the Mail-in competitions, winning an honorable men-tion for editorial cartoon, first place for line illustra-tion, and second place in photo illustration. The fourth award came via the on-the-spot editorial cartoon competition in which he took first place.

All students who attend-ed participated in an on-the-spot event, and for most of them it was their first state competition.

Their main goal is to help you achieve your educational goals. make an appointment to sit down and talk to your counselor about your plans. They will aid you in taking the right classes and set up a plan.

5. Gather transcripts and applyThis is the moment that you have been waiting for, that moment in which you start that application, gather all your information and wait for your acceptance letter. So what do you need? First you need to figure out the deadlines to apply. Websites such as www.csumentor.edu and www.ucop.edu/pathways can give you that specific information and more.

Berkeley visits Chaffey! Well, Transfer Students Do

When news breaks, be the first to know

The Transfer Center was unable to take students up to Berkeley this year so they decided to bring

Berkeley to Chaffey.Three former Chaffey students, currently

room-mates at UC Berkeley, Chris Uller, Seshan Kazmi and Ian Scott shared their experiences as first year transfer students at Berkeley in the Campus Center Staff Dining Room on Thursday Mar. 26.

Kazmi, a media studies major at Berkeley, started the evening off by going through the Berkeley website. As they went through the website all three of them had various things to say about the different locations at chaffey.

“There is always something interesting to see” said Uller, an English Major at Berkeley.

They then talked about the numerous clubs and sports teams you could join.

“It’s really easy to get involved” Uller added “There is a place for you, you just have to go out and find it.”

They fed off each others’ energy and kept the mood lively and entertaining.

After they went through a quick virtual tour of the campus, they started talking about Chaffey students and Berkeley, giving advice to students interested in transferring.

“You should be seeking out the hardest classes at Chaffey. That will definitely help with your experience at Berkeley” said Scott, a Political Science major at Berkeley.

“Take advantage of the opportunities

you have here, set up an appointment with a councelor” said Kazmi who had worked at the transfer center while he was at Chaffey.

“Get familiar with schools as soon as possible” added Kazmi

Along with advice, they also had some encouraging words for students interested

in transferring.“There is no magical formula to getting

in” said Scott.“[Your GPA] does not reflect your

intelligence.” said Uller.“There’s a lot of opportunities [at

Chaffey] to keep you on the right track” said Kazmi.

After an enjoyable and enlightening evening with Kazmi, Scott and Uller, it was time for it to end. The three of them gave the Chaffey students an insider’s perspective of life at Berkeley and encouraged the students looking to transfer to a 4-year university.

CARLOS ACOSTA Chris Uller, Ian Scott, and Seshan Kazmi take time to pose after informative meeting provided by the Transfer Center.
