We see them everywhere. They freckle Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, especially. They are

#hashtagged, dolled up and taken opposite a mirror, with a “selfie stick” or by a friend or relative. The Palace of Versailles in Paris, the National Gallery in London and the Coliseum in Rome have banned them.

They are “selfies” and they are a nec-essary evil in contemporary society.

A “selfie” is “a photograph that one takes of oneself with a digital camera or a front-facing smartphone, tablet, or webcam, especially for posting on a social networking or photo-sharing website,” according to Dictionary.com, which also dates the noun’s origin in 2005.

Urban Dictionary defines a “selfie” as “a picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, MySpace or any other sort of social networking website.” Oxford dictio-

nary named “selfie” the word of the year in 2013.

Last May, The New Yorker framed the “selfie” as an enabler for narcis-sism, but what about when the selfie is used to show off friends or a cool location?

In the 1987 critically acclaimed post-war novel, “The Culture of Nar-cissism: American Life in an Age of Di-minishing Expectations,” Christopher Lasch argued that post-war America “had become addicted to instant gratification.”

Well, we aren’t post-war anymore, and the instant gratification of posting a picture of oneself online is not a bad thing.

Whether they are planned, taken with a tablet or smartphone or posted on social media, “selfies” have been a controversial phenomenon, but they really aren’t hurting anything or anyone.

Jerry Sultz of Vulture magazine wrote in January 2014 that selfies have become a “new visual genre.”

Yes, clogging your friends’ feeds with extended-arm shots of yourself post-gym is annoying and a bit over-bearing. But if they aren’t having it, they can simply unfollow you.

Although men are predominant in commanding from the sideline, women are advancing in the coach-ing world as well.

According to a national 2012 study by Vivian Acosta and Linda Carpenter, two former physical ed-

ucation professors at Brooklyn Col-lege, men coach 57 percent of female teams while 43 percent are coached by women. Female coaches head only 2 to 3 percent of male teams.

It raises the question: is there a difference in coaching styles?

“When we are preparing for a competition, we go through the same mental, physical preparation.” LaTanya Sheffield, assistant coach for sprints, hurdles and relays of the track and field team at California State University, Long Beach, said.

Sheffield said that she has no strategy for either gender as far as coaching methods because she does not think they should be approached differently.

“They want to compete at a high level,” Sheffield said. “The intensity is just as equal.”

Sheffield said the first thing she noticed in her male and female ath-

letes is that they love to compete.Jeff Joyner, associate head coach of

the women’s soccer team at CSULB has worked with men’s soccer as well. His career has revolved around women’s soccer for nearly 15 years.

“A male can take the comment, find the information and make the correction,” Joyner said. “Girls take the comment and find the infor-mation, but also tie something to it emotionally.”

Based on his observations, his style has not changed completely, but has made him sensitive to situa-tions when a female player may take critiques more personal.

Dustin Thoman, a psychology professor at CSULB, said that the best way to combat any possible misunderstandings between a coach and an athlete is to have two-way communication.

“It is possible that the female ath-

letes interpret feedback differently,” Thoman said. “But also for the coach to let them know what he does and what he doesn’t mean.”

Thoman said that from an early stage, children are talked to differ-ently and engage in various styles of play that bleed into their overall social growth.

“Growing up with different com-munication styles might lead [boys and girls] to interpret the same mes-sage differently,” Thoman said.

Communication is crucial as may not only lead to mixed messages, but also a break or build the athlete’s confidence.

Tucked away in the north end of campus and in the back of most stu-dents’ minds is the College of Educa-tion.

The College of Education is hosting Education Week at California State University, Long Beach all week to highlight the services and programs it offers students.

“[The CED] feels this is a good way to showcase all of the programs in the college, and to make sure all CSULB students know that the College of Edu-cation is here, ready with information,”

Cynthia Grutzik, the CED associate dean and coordinator of the week-long event, said via email.

The California Public Education System is ranked last in the United States based on student to teacher ra-tios. An additional 100,000 teachers need to be hired in order to reach the national average, according to the Cal-ifornia Teacher’s Association.

California has the highest ratio of students enrolled per teacher in pub-lic elementary and secondary schools, with an average of 24 students per

teacher in fall 2012, according to re-ports from the National Education Association.

“We’ve had a slump in hiring teach-ers the last five years because of the economy but it’s really turning a cor-ner,” Grutzik said in the article.

Mary Ann Rose, the director of graduate studies for the CED, said that undergraduate students often major in what their parents want. She said that

Dear Student,

As you may be aware, in previous years Isla Vista has attracted thousands of out-of-town visitors in early April to an un-hosted, unsponsored street party called “Deltopia.” Because approximately ninety percent of those cited and arrest-ed are from out of the area each year, it is important that you are fairly warned about the possible outcome of a visit to Isla Vista for Deltopia.

During Deltopia, more than 300 officers and deputies will be deployed in the half square mile that makes up Isla Vista to enforce the law and local ordinances, heightening the risk of visitors leaving the Santa Bar- bara area with an arrest record.This represents a substantial increase over previous years in the number of officers present in the community. Most misdemeanors, such as public intoxication, along with felonies, will mean spending at least one night in the Santa Barbara County Jail.The Santa Barbara County District Attorney is asking for the highest possible fines and anyone under 21 years of age who is arrested for public intoxication faces the loss of his or her driver’s license for one year and probation for three years.

Here are a just a few of the enforcement efforts planned:• California Highway Patrol (CHP) sobriety checkpoints in the Isla Vista and Goleta areas• Stringent enforcement by CHP of vehicle code violations on the Highway 101 corridor from SanLuis Obispo to Ventura• Alcohol and Beverage Control agents monitoring Isla Vista and Goleta for sales of alcohol to mi-nors and the illegal transportation of alcohol• CHP,UC Police,and Sheriff ’s Department saturation patrols in areas surrounding IslaVista• Sweeps of Goleta hotels by Sheriff ’s Officers for underage drinking• Zero tolerance enforcement (no warnings)

Residents of Isla Vista are being urged to host only private celebrations and not to allow access to people they don’t know. In an effort to provide safe alternatives, UCSB will be hosting events for UCSB students only (with campus ID required for entrance). Potential visitors should also note that there will be no live or pre-recorded amplified music allowed in public in Isla Vista during the first two weekends in April— from Friday, April 3 through Sunday, April 5 and Friday, April 10 through Sunday, April 12, each evening from 6 pm to 7 am the following morning. Sheriff ’s officers will be enforcing local ordinances that prohibit people from blocking public right-of-ways (e.g., streets and sidewalks). Street parking in Isla Vista and on neighborhood streets in Goleta will be severely restricted, and tow companies are pre- pared to tow illegally parked cars. Out-of-town visitors will not be allowed to park on the UCSB campus or in commer-cial lots surrounding Isla Vista, and UCSB policies prohibit weekend guests in our residence halls and apartments during the first two weekends in April.

In addition, the inter-Greek governing council leadership at UCSB would like to notify fellow fraternity and sorority members from other campuses that our Greek chapters have adopted strict weekend guest policies, and will not be open to non-UCSB sorority and fraternity members during the first two week- ends in April.Given the strict enforcement and the negative impact that out of area crowds have on the community of Isla Vista, I hope that you will respect the wishes of the community and decide to stay away for your own safety and protection.

Sincerely,Debbie FlemingSenior Associate Dean, Student Life University of California, Santa Barbara

as they go through college they realize they want to give back through education.

“It’s never to late to be an educator no matter what your major is,” Rose said. “No matter what type of other background experience you’ve had teaching, counseling and school psychol-ogy are always available to you. There’s no limit.”

The Education Job Fair, which is the last event of the week and is held every spring, is open to all students, graduates and community members. More than 90 employers are partici-pating in the job fair.

“Last year, our students were getting job offers that same day.” Grutzik said an Inside CSULB article.

On Monday and Tuesday stu-dents can explore programs in the single subject credential pro-gram, special education creden-tial program and master’s degree credential program by speaking with CED staff and faculty.

“This is a great way for stu-dents to find out more about becoming a teacher or earning a Masters degree,” Grutzik said.

There was a Preventing Sexual Violence in Education Settings forum to increase un-

derstanding for professional de-velopment on Monday, accord-ing to the CED website.

An International Education Mixer, also on Tuesday, will inform students about study abroad programs. Students can access information about educa-tion career opportunities in an international setting, according to the Education Week informa-tion page.

On Wednesday the CED will host a College of Education Stu-dent Assembly Mixer entitled “COE-Chella.” Students can network with students, faculty and staff, according to an Inside CSULB article.

“[COE-Chella] is an oppor-tunity to come and meet other students who are in the college of Ed program,” Rose said.

Students can participate in an open forum with the Dean of the CED Marquita Grenot-Scheyer, where they will have the op-portunity to ask questions, give feedback and voice concerns about their CED experience, ac-cording to the Ed Week informa-tion page.

Students can find more in-formation and a detailed break-down of Education Week at www.ced.csulb.edu/edweek.

A program through the Student Health Services center is attempting to deconstruct the stigma behind addiction amongst students.

California State University, Long Beach’s Alcohol, Tobacco, & Other Drugs program will be screening “Anon-ymous People,” a 90-minute film that documents stories about U.S. students and other Americans from drug or alco-hol addictions. The screening will be in the Beach Auditorium on March 25 from 4 - 6p.m.

There will be a discussion panel after the screening of Anonymous People. Jennifer Layno, an ATOD health educa-tion assistant encourages students to ask questions and have them answered by those in the Beach Recovery program.

According to the Beach Recovery website, recovery from substance depen-dence is a voluntarily maintained life-style characterized by sobriety, personal heath and community.

“Most people don’t seek help because they feel like they don’t have a problem,” Jackie Provencher, a counselor at New Found Life, said. “It’s a disease and a per-

ception that they don’t think they have a problem. It is important for people to seek help because they will not be able to take care of their addictions on their own and it will continue and progress.”

New Found Life is a residential addic-tion treatment center in Long Beach that offers cost-effective, individual care for patients, according to their website.

“[Alcoholics Anonymous] is for [re-covering alcoholics] to give back to new-comers and provide advice and treatment tools they need so they can go back to their life,” Crystal Rodriguez, a counsel-or at Twin Town Treatment Center, said.

Twin Town Treatment Center is an in-tensive outpatient program for substance abuse with numerous locations in Los Angeles and Orange County that has a five-month program in three phases.

“People choose to stay anonymous because they believe that it lowers their standards in society,” senior sociology major Alissa Doan said. “It is important to get peer support because you get to interact with people going through the same process as you.”

The ‘ManyFaces1Voice’ movement

is a collaborative effort that has many sponsors and over 23 million recover-ing Americans, which aims to challenge perception and public responses to the addiction crisis.

“My sister was a former alcoholic and was ashamed of herself,” Doan said. “I wish that she knew of the ManyFaces-1Voice campaign so that she wouldn’t have felt so discouraged throughout her treatment.”

CSULB’s Beach Recovery program has a goal of making the university campus a nurturing, affirming environment for students seeking recovery where they can find peer support as well as other recov-ery support systems.

“Peer support is good for people to know that they are not alone,” Rodri-guez said. “It’s about people changing their whole mentality for something they know. The thought is to know that they’re not doing it alone, so the support within a group is a big thing.”

CSULB hosts various events and meetings for students interested seeking recovery. ATOD runs weekly AA and substance abuse meetings.

CSULB and the city of Long Beach provide numerous recovering commu-nities for people who suffer from addictions.

Charlottesville, Va., police an-nounced Monday that they could find no evidence that a rape happened at aUniversity of Virginiafraternity as described in a Rolling Stone article and said they were suspending their investigation.

Charlottesville Police Chief Timo-thy Longo, in a televised news con-ference, said the college student who reported the rape, identified in the article only as Jackie, declined to coop-erate with police and that investigators found inconsistencies in the stories she previously told to Rolling Stone and to campus officials.

“That’s really the extent of this in-vestigation,” Longo said. “Unfortu-nately, we’re not able to conclude to any substantive degree that an incident consistent with the facts in that ar-ticle (occurred at the fraternity house named in the Rolling Stone story) or any other fraternity house, for that matter.”

Longo added: “That doesn’t mean that something terrible did not happen to Jackie. ... I can’t prove that some-thing didn’t happen.”

An attorney representing Jackie, Palma E. Pustilnik of the Central Vir-ginia Legal Aid Society, told the Los Angeles Times in an email Monday, “We have no comment at this time.”

The police investigation centered on an incident describedin an explosive Rolling Stone magazine story, pub-lished in November, that said a woman identified as Jackie had been gang-raped at a Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.

After critics raised questions about the accuracy of the account, Rolling

Stone issued an apology thatsaid the magazineno longer trusted the story told by Jackie.

The saga rocked the University of Virginia, which the storyaccused of having a rampant culture of sexual vio-lence, as well as the world of journal-ism, in which observers criticized the story’s author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, for what they saw as lax and flawed re-porting techniques.

Concernsalso mounted that the sto-ry would damage the credibility of rape survivors elsewhere, whom advocates say are often not taken seriously by law enforcement officials and the public.

Erdely did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Mon-day. Investigators said she had cooper-ated “as best as she could” with police without compromising her sources for the story. A spokeswoman for Roll-ing Stone could not immediately be reached for comment following the po-lice news conference.

University of Virginia President Teresa A. Sullivan, who had asked law enforcement to look into the alleged assault shortly after the publication of the Rolling Stone story, said in a state-ment Monday that the police finding “confirms what federal privacy law prohibited the University from shar-ing last fall: that the University pro-vided support and care to a student in need, including assistance in reporting potential criminal conduct to law en-forcement.”

Sullivan added, “There is important work ahead as the University continues to implement substantive reforms to improve its culture, prevent violence

and respond to incidents of violence when they occur.”

Investigators proceeded without co-operation from Jackie, who had previ-ously told a campus dean and a Char-lottesville police detective about the alleged 2012 rape in April 2014, when she had reported a separate incident of being physically attacked by four men on campus, Longo said. (Police found inconsistencies in Jackie’s account of the April attack, but Jackie did have an abrasion on her head, Longo said.)

Jackie didn’t want to push for an in-vestigation into the 2012 rape at that point, the chief said, and again de-clined to do so when investigators con-tacted her after the Rolling Stone story appeared.

Campus deans, fraternities, em-ployees and friends of Jackie provided documents and accounts to police that did not support Jackie’s claims of an at-tack at the fraternity on Sept. 28, 2012, Longo said.

Charlottesville police had already cleared Phi Kappa Psi of involvement in the alleged rape, announcing in Janu-ary that they found “no basis to believe that an incident occurred at thatfrater-nity.”

In a statement released Monday through a public relations agency, Phi Kappa Psi criticized Rolling Stone for “recklessly and prejudicially” featuring the fraternity in its story and for leav-ing the story on its website, where it is preceded by a lengthy editor’s note that details some of the discrepancies in Jackie’s account.

Fiction fans can rush to theaters and cringe, yet again, as they accept and embrace unexpected additions to the film adaptation of “Insurgent.”

Director Robert Schwentke adapted the second installment of Veronica Roth’s Divergent Trilogy, “Insurgent.”

Although Schwentke’s interpretation strays from the dystopian series’ origi-nal plot, it’s refreshingly entertaining.

The March 20 release picks up where “Divergent” left off with Tris Prior, played by Shailene Woodley, and her brooding love interest Four, played by Theo James.

Tris, Four and their band of diver-gent misfits are on the run after the se-ries villain Jeanine Matthews, played by Kate Winslit, deem the outcasts as traitors.

Most of the film focuses on Jeanine’s search to discover what is inside a se-cret metal box, an addition to the screenplay not featured in the book, and her manhunt for a divergent who can open it.

Many readers may be surprised with how well the box works within the plot, acting as a guiding tool to the truth behind a dystopian Chicago.

Woodley’s skill prevails with portraying Tris’ evolution from a suffocated Abnegation member to a dauntless member. She becomes even more aggressive and violent during her transformation, putting another strong female lead on the screen who refuses to ease up and please others.

And her new haircut didn’t hurt, either.

Tris and Four’s mommy-and-daddy issues pull at audiences’ heartstrings, but Woodley’s depiction is significant-ly more convincing than James’ cold and distant demeanor. He needs more than a table slam and strong finger pointing to convince audiences that he is still mourning.

With a PG-13 rating, the film in-cludes more action, violence and sexu-al content than its box-office-breaking

predecessor. Various gravity defying angles and

special effects really put audience members in the action, as if they are experiencing the simulations first hand.

Tris and Four have an underwhelm-ing yet steamy, almost-sex scene, fuel-ing the fire that is James and Woodley’s great on screen chemistry. For the sake of the film’s PG-13 rating and parents everywhere, the clip cuts short.

Woodley does not seem to have a problem connecting with her lovers on screen as she also starred in “The Spectacular Now” with Miles Teller who plays “insurgent” character, Pe-ter, and “The Fault in Our Stars” with Ansel Elgort who plays Tris’ brother, Caleb.

When Woodley, James, Teller and Elgort are all seated at a table in the film, the actors successfully take on a different dynamic centered on their leading lady.

Teller shines through as he takes on

a significantly larger role than the first film. His raspy voice combined with the perfect comedic timing adds light-ness to the film’s darker themes, also contrasting the serious roles Woodley and James play.

The film’s use of inception-esque dreams keep the audience on it’s toes, as it was difficult to decipher whether or not Tris was dreaming, in a simula-tion or actually awake.

Real world thoughts were often dis-tracting and brought up many rhetori-cal questions such as how did Tris get that adorable pixie cut by cutting her hair herself with scissors?

And, where are the misfits getting all these cool clothes that fit perfectly if they are basically nomads on the run with no bags?

With small swaps from text to scripted screenplay successfully keep-ing audiences attention, there is hope of sending puffy-eyed fans off with a pleasurably painful final installment of “Allegiant.”

“Madness”Epitaph RecordsMarch 13, 2015

Sleeping with Sirens goes pop-punk

With the release of their fourth album, post-hardcore giants Sleep-ing With Sirens took another step away from their roots and toward the catchy, crowd-pleasing sounds of pop punk and radio rock.

“Madness” consequently sounds like a mix of every related genre possible.

The first single “Kick Me” and the rallying ballad “We Like It Loud” are on the album’s heavier side with a wide range of vocals, crackling static and high-energy riffs.

“Kick Me” welcomes listeners in with the opening line, “Let’s hang the jury / you sick, judgmental

fools / I’ll bury you six feet deep / so tired of your rules.”

It’s a song that pays homage to the Sleeping With Sirens of the past by simultaneously represent-ing the lyrical style and melodies that old fans of the band may be looking for.

In contrast, “Go Go Go,” “Don’t Say Anything” and “Gold” are reminiscent of works from swooshy-haired pop punkers All Time Low.

Considering that Sleeping With Sirens worked with John Feldma-nn on “Madness,” the pop punk super-producer who’s worked with All Time Low in the past, it isn’t all that surprising.

But anyone looking for a fol-low-up to the band’s debut album “With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear” may be stuck between feel-ing estranged and confused with the changes.

The biggest advantage to “Mad-ness” is the band’s knowledge and use of frontman Kellin Quinn’s unique countertenor. His croon-ing vocals set Sleeping With Sirens

apart from the crowds of scream-ers and singers who try to slot themselves into the post-hardcore genre.

This is most evident in “The Strays,” which opens with Quinn singing about “hubcaps and ash-trays” and transitions right into the perfect melody to hook listen-ers into pressing the repeat button.

“We are The Strays,” Quinn belts slowly and without much buildup. “My whole life they said I’d be nothing / well I’m something.”

Past that, the lyrics “hold on, don’t look back / you know we’re better, we’re better than that,” also sound like a letter to anyone doubting the band’s turn in direc-tion.

Where “Madness” falls flat is in its lack of cohesion. No one is saying that Sleeping With Sirens has to be entirely post-hardcore or entirely pop punk, but to switch so often on an album leaves listeners struggling to keep pace.

That missing link is the final push “Madness” needs to head into repeat territory. As it stands,

things are a bit too disjointed to achieve the perfect flow from track-to-track.

Still, a majority of the songs are fun enough to find their way onto individual play-lists. Most even feature similar hook-heavy writing and big vo-cals, like the undeniable stand-out track “Fly.”

Sleeping With Sirens took a lot of risks in making “Madness,” and gambled righteously with only a few slip-ups along the way. It would have been easy enough for them to crash and burn trying to bridge the gap between genres, but instead they managed to keep their head above water and possibly even swim closer to shore.

There’s no denying that the change is drastic. The question now is how fans will respond.

The new sound shows that the band absolutely refuses to be type casted. Sleeping With Sirens man-aged to shake the post-hardcore label fans gave them and fight it with the release of each successive album.

The five-piece from Florida bridge a genre gap with a fourth album called “Madness.”

versity, focuses on research re-garding efficacy in sports, stating that the strongest dimensions of coaching efficacy deals with moti-vation and character-building.

Sheffield focuses on the athlete’s capabilities and placing goals re-gardless of gender. She said that the way they are spoken to lets them

know one believes in them.“They stand on the lanes by

themselves,” Sheffield said. “But they know I’m on the stands sup-porting them and I believe in what they’re doing.”

As great as coaching for the sport one loves is, coaching the opposite gender also has its rewards.

Joyner said that he feels he has more of an impact on the girls he has coached compared to just play-ing on a team.

He said that boys watch soc-

cer and try to emulate their heroes while girls do not have as many ath-letic idols to look up to, so girls nat-urally refer to themselves whenever they accomplish something great.

“When you see it, it’s like I helped them,” Joyner said. “I helped them get to that moment in the game.”

Joyner said that there is not much opportunity for women’s soccer be-yond college, hinting at the larger issue with gender and its limitations in athletics.

“There are professional teams

and there are contracts out there,” Joyner said. “But there’s nowhere near as many opportunities [for women] as there are for men.”

Sheffield said that when she par-ticipated in the 1988 Summer Olym-pics in Seoul, South Korea, women were not seen in the same light as a man.

“It was felt that we should not ex-ert ourselves because we were too fragile,” Sheffield said.

Although the perception of wom-en in sports may have shifted to

an extent, the stigma is still there. Sheffield’s example was how female sports are not given as much airtime as male sports.

“[Women] can stand on an Olym-pic podium or any arena and be as competitive,” Sheffield said.

It is noted that methods vary more depending on the coach rather than their gender or the gender of their team. While gender sets limi-tations on other aspects of the game, it is no longer a man’s game, but one that belongs to women as well.

LETTER TO THE

EDITOR

Michaelangelo landgrave

Economics graduate student

The Long Beach State Re-publican Club President, Nestor Moto Jr., recently came out in favor of clos-ing down the Dream Re-

source Center. The Dream Resource Center pro-

vides basic information services to the university’s Dreamer popula-tion. Moto’s main argument is that Dreamers are not “real students who pay taxes.”

Moto is plainly wrong in this claim. Dreamers are taxpayers. I know this because I am a Dreamer, and I filed my taxes only a few weeks ago. My family has paid taxes ever since we first migrated to California. I remember as a young child being angry whenever I looked at my fa-ther’s paycheck and saw how much was being taken out for services we never received. Social security? Medi-care? We will never see a penny from any of these programs we paid for.

Contrary to public opinion, the estimated 11-12 million illegal aliens

in the U.S. do pay taxes. I would be all too happy if the Internal Revenue Service was abolished, but I can’t deny that it is one of the few govern-ment bodies to treat everyone equally.

The IRS does not care if you are a native-born citizen, a student on a visa or an illegal alien. The IRS will happily take your taxes without dis-

crimination. The Immigration Policy Center estimates that illegal immi-grants pay around $90 to $140 billion in taxes – federal, state, and local – each year.

I am all too happy to concede to Moto that the Dream Resource Cen-

ter might not be cost effective. If he wishes to reframe his argument so that all university initiatives should undergo a cost benefit analysis, I would happily offer my support.

However, I cannot support Moto if his argument rests on the prem-ise that Dreamers and their families aren’t taxpayers. To be frank, I am deeply disappointed to hear that a fellow member of the political right wishes to further the movement’s popular image of being ‘anti-mi-grant.’

Let me assure readers that, despite Moto’s actions, the political right is not homogenous for migrant issues. There are those, such as my-self, who desire a world where no one is persecuted on a basis of their place of birth.

The ability to migrate freely is a fundamental human right. Anyone who identifies himself or herself as a free marketer has an obligation to fight for free trade in goods and labor.

Dreamers experience

taxation without representation.

SelfieSContinued from page 1

Selfies are the fingerprints of the digital age. They proclaim to social media “Look at me!” and “I’m here too!” There is nothing wrong with claiming your stake online. Tastefully and with good timing, a “selfie” can bring you confidence with the “likes” you get from your across-the-pond auntie or an ex who stumbles upon your Twitter.

“I take them, but not often. I don’t see any harm in taking selfies,” junior psychol-ogy student Natalie Urteaga said. “Posting selfies help people get the self-esteem that they might need.”

These photos we take of ourselves with our new abs, our new makeup and our old dog do not harm anyone. They merely claim a stake, allowing our followers to

check us out.“Selfies” have also addressed issues and

have been tools for social change.Celebrities and comedians alike posed

with Lena Dunham’s pink Planned Parenthood tees. Dashing male actors took pictures with signs stating: “This is what a feminist looks like” after Emma Watson braved the United Nations platform pro-moting her He for She campaign.

Recently preteens used “selfies” as a way to protest against bullying. They were showing the world that they are real people, and letting the world know that bullying can’t take that away from them.

The only harm a “selfie” might inflict is to lower your Twitter, Instagram or Facebook friend count. Who needs fol-lowers when you’ve got pictures of yourself that you enjoy, bring you confidence and remind the world that you aren’t going anywhere?

Men’s Vollyball

In a league loaded with top ranked teams, the No. 9 Long Beach State men’s volleyball team’s inexperi-ence may ultimately cost them in the postseason.

Head coach Alan Knipe has reiter-ated all season that the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation is the most difficult league in the country, and the NCAA stats seem to support that.

Nine schools from the MPSF hold a spot in the top 15 Division I rank-ings, including No. 1 Hawaii. 16 of the last 22 NCAA National Champi-ons have come from the MPSF, the most recent being UC Irvine in 2013.

The top eight schools in the MPSF will advance to the tourney, and the 49ers currently hold the No. 7 spot in the league. It would not bode for well for LBSU’s chances if stayed in the seventh spot, where it would face either UC Irvine or Hawaii.

With the MPSF tournament quickly approaching, it is imperative more than ever for the 49ers to show they belong among the best.

The farthest the 49ers have advanced in the MPSF tournament

was in 2013 when they lost to BYU. LBSU recorded one its best season in schools history with a 24-8 overall record in 2013. Led by a senior squad in 2014, the 49ers were unable to get past Pepperdine in the tourney quarterfinals.

The top teams in the MPSF such as Hawaii, BYU, USC and Pepper-dine have senior laden squads, all of whom have played together for many years. By comparison, the only re-turning starter for LBSU was junior middle blocker Taylor Gregory.

Many of the 49ers’ key contribu-tors this season — such as junior opposite hitter Cody Martin and sophomore setter Curtis Stallings — either redshirted or had limited play-ing time off the bench last season.

The 49ers struggled after starting the season with a four-game winning streak. LBSU’s youth was on display when it was swept against tougher competition such as UC Irvine, BYU and USC.

With just five matches left before the start of postseason play, the 49ers are quickly running out of opportu-nities to improve. The competition won’t be getting any easier as other teams in conference prepare them-selves for the grueling tournament to come.

With the passion and drive that is carried into each match they play, the 49ers have the opportunity to make a statement in their upcoming matches

against Pepperdine and UC Irvine. Like college basketball, March is

the month for Cinderella teams in volleyball’s postseason. The 49ers

can still make a dream come true and bring home not only an MPSF Cham-pionship title, but also an NCAA Championship.

EXPERIENCE OVER SKILL

As men’s volleyball nears tourney time, all roads are pointing to No. 1 Hawaii to take it all.

C a m p u s V o i C eHow do you feel about HaVing an nfl team in los angeles?

“I like the idea, but at the same time the normal practice of how these things are done it’s usu-

ally the people that get shafted on this. It could benefit us by attracting more businesses in local

surrounding areas.”

—Richard Corey, senior, religious studies and history major

“I think it’s long overdue. I remember they left when I was four years old. It doesn’t make sense why we don’t have an NFL team. I think it will be

very good for the economy.”

—Christian Walker, senior, public rtelations major and minor in communication

studies

“I think it will be really great because it is rela-tively closest to Long Beach. The closest team is

the Chargers. I’m a fan of the Chargers but I will feel a lot closer to a team if they aren’t that far

from where I live.”

—Alex Doan, freshman, journalism major

“I think it’s something we needed when the Rams and Raiders left. I will support the team, but I will be a die-hard 49ers fan forever. I like the possibility of the Rams since the owner owns

land out here and he seems determine to bring the team back.”

—Jesus Pardo, sophomore, economics major
