The Saddleback College IT department’s plans to expand the campus’s network connection, which frequently drops users, will be addressed in their first meeting at the end of March.

Anthony Maciel, director of Technology Services and Broad-cast Systems, is the driving force behind this initiative. He first not-ed the spotty coverage when he be-gan working at Saddleback in July of 2013.

“I noticed areas of the campus did not have wireless coverage,” Maciel said. “The terrain and mere size of the campus poses a chal-lenge for complete wireless cov-erage.”

Maciel asked the Basic Aid Al-location Resource Committee to help pay for an expansion. He has also been working with the tech-nology committee to conduct a survey for students.

He also worked with the Dis-trict-wide Technology Committee to compose a survey of Saddleback student experiences and concerns. The results of the questionnaire revealed wireless connection was a main concern, especially for stu-dents who brought more than one wireless device to school.

“The goal is to design a wireless network that will cover the campus and be able to sustain the demand of student and employee use,” Ma-ciel said. “This is a very complicat-ed project because there are many components to it, such as electrical power, trenching, drilling, etc.”

The IT team is going to replace the current system with new hard-ware and software, giving the staff and over 2,200 students using the

THE SKINNY CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY

Saddleback College Women’s and Gender Studies Advi-sory Committee, ASG and SMART Theatre Production

brought the amazing play, “We Did It For You” to campus. This adventure through the history of American wom-en was a perfect way for Saddleback to bring awareness as well as to cele-brate women’s history month.

As the 2016 presidential elections get closer, more women then ever are reaching towards the top spot in our government, President of the United States. This play gave a glimpse into the history which made this possible.

“We Did It For You” was written by Dr. Thea Lberall, and is performed by many others, all of which are volunteers.

For the last five years this program has traveled all over Southern California, mostly to high schools and colleges.

“We do workshops in colleges and discus the script in depth,” Lberall said. “The play can only touch on a small portion of the history.”

It was first written for the Women’s Journey Conference in 2010; however, Lberall has a much larger goal.

“We want to perform at the White House,”Lberal said.

The play itself started with college student Melanie (played by Deana Kenney) having a conversation on a cell phone, complaining about her homework. This is when women vis-it her from the past. Lilly LedBetter (played by Mary Grace Carpenter)

was the first and she basically narrated the rest of the play.

The play hit many of the main women in history, such as Anne Hutchinson, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Sandra Day O’Connor and Hil-ary Clinton. All these women visited Melanie (Deana Kenney), each telling a story about the struggles they had fighting for women’s rights.

Many of the topics that these wom-en disused were: the 19th Amendment, birth control, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the National Organization of Women.

During the performance there was a consent list scrolling behind the stage with a list of important women in American history. “We Did It For

You” did not miss much, and the lyr-ical wittiness of the songs performed were awesome.

“They stuffed a lot of amazing in-formation into this show,” Nolan Mat-ter political science and history stu-dent, 21, said. “It gave a glimpse and a deeper in depth look at what these women did for our history. One of the most important things this play did, is portray the importance of women of all ages to get involve in government.”

In the end, Melanie decides that she wants to study politics and in the future, run for President. An ending that revealed Women’s history is still being written to-day. “Women rights are human rights.”

The annual Friends of the Library silent auction event is back again at Saddleback to raise funds for the campus and students

HUSH HUSH: One student signs up for the Friends of the Library silent auction in the Learning Resources Center.

The Friends of the Library silent auction kicked off Monday, raising funds for student scholarships and library maintenance.

“We usually give out one or two $1,000 scholarships a year,” said li-brarian Ana Maria Cobos.

Now until March 13, exhib-it cases in the Learning Resources Center lobby will display various works for sale. The auction features signed books by Maria von Trapp, Don Imus, Iris Johansen and Henry Kissinger, along with “Rembrandt’s Eyes” by Simon Schama and a 1936 set of works by John Steinbeck.

enthusiasm, said Cobos.“It’s an exciting time because we

brought back the silent auction that we haven’t done in so many years,” Cobos said. “It takes a lot of work to set up because over the course of the year, the Friends look for special books that are out of the ordinary and get set aside with special re-search being put into those books.”

Along with the silent auction, Friends of the Library will also fea-ture a book sale, beginning in April to coincide Earth Day activities. A full list of works at the auction can be found at www.saddleback.edu/library/friends.

network at the same time a stronger signal as well as gigabyte speed.

“I like having the option to con-nect to the Wi-Fi for faster results when I bring my laptop to school and need to look something up, or when I need to check my email to see if a class got cancelled,” said 21-year-old marketing major Sier-ra Adams.

Brittany Graham, a 27-year-old nursing major, would like to see the process of joining the network made easier, as she uses her com-puter in many classes.

“I would like it if they made logging on less difficult,” Graham said.

The plan for the expansion is said to last about 12 months, but as with major projects like this one, the end date may be prolonged. The Wi-Fi will be up and running throughout the process of upgrad-ing, but at some point it will need to switch to the new system. When the time comes to change over, it will be done during a period of lit-tle campus activity.

Solutions to slow internet speed and availability on campus are forthcoming

Advanced Placement classes have long been considered one of the best tools for students to get an edge when going into college. Though they don’t immediately spring to mind as a source of strife, they’ve become an unexpected battlefield that began with changes to AP U.S. History courses by the College Board.

The changes were made in an attempt to present a more balanced history of America. In addition to placing a greater emphasis on important American doc-uments, such as the Bill of Rights, the course also focuses more on the chal-lenges numerous ethnic groups have had to face.

Yet, as Education Week reports, the supposedly good intentioned changes

have not been warmly accepted. Op-ponents, mainly of a very conservative mindset, claim that the new changes are anti-American and aim to only teach stu-dents what’s wrong with America.

Politicians of the same mindset have taken aim at the courses too. Lawmak-ers, namely in Georgia, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma, have pushed back at the changes. Oklahoma for instance passed a bill last month to virtually ban the cours-es reports Think Progress.

All these attacks are unfounded ac-cording to the Hechinger Report. They conclude that the new changes aren’t anti-American. The new coursework is fairly solid and improved.

Such points have been ignored by opponents and he fight over the courses looks to continue indefinitely. This isn’t due to ignorance but is totally deliberate. It’s the latest chapter in the war to con-trol history. It’s being fought between those who wish to preserve it and those who wish to manipulate it for their own ends.

History doesn’t just make for good conversation. It’s a tool to improve ourselves and for achieving a better to-

morrow. Philosopher George Santayana famously wrote “those who cannot re-member the past are condemned to re-peat it.”

To control history is to control the fu-ture. Just as it can be a tool for great im-provement it can also be used as a weap-on to cripple the intelligence of others. Allowing people to better understand the past the way the AP courses are teaching them will result in many people having less influence over the mindsets of oth-ers.

Not even the supposed good guys in this fight are without faults themselves. In the same report by the Hechinger Report, the College Board still has not mentioned any notable people such as James Madison and George Washington Carver in the tests. The coursework still has flaws and students are not getting as good of a history lesson as they should.

History not only needs to be defended but needs to be taught well. The conflict over the history in AP courses is a re-minder to do both. If not, we are destined for a very bleak future.

Saddleback College has proven to be a breeding ground when it comes to creating student-run clubs.

The colleges Club Rush which took place in early February resulted in 33 student clubs being born into existence for this semester.

Each club varies in purpose and interests, but all are open for students to join, and each offers a community of like minded individuals.

Whether your interested in anime or the ocean, Saddleback probably has a club that’ll grab your attention.

One standout club at Saddleback is the Lending Love Club. The name says it all.

Lending Love club is for those who want to give back and help individuals or groups in need throughout the community.

Lending Love makes it easy to extend a helping hand to those who need it, and is not a long-term commitment for students.

Club members meet biweekly to determine what sector of the community should receive attention.

They’ve written letters to soldiers overseas and created birthday cards for homeless children.

Lending Love has now decided to focus their attention on orphans.

Club members were in the quad last week accepting donations to raise money for the Orangewood Children’s Home in Orange, California.

“We’re planning to make tie-dye T-shirts for the kids at Orangewood,”

club president Shaine Behar, 19, said.This isn’t Lending Loves first trip

to Orangewood and will most likely not be their last, Behar said. The club has previously surprised the orphans with board games and toys, but chose to design custom tie-dyes for the kids on this trip.

While the group has created a number of strong relationships with institutions throughout south Orange County, they are always open to new volunteer suggestions.

In front of a chaotic crowd in Saddleback College’s Gym Saturday night, the Gauchos men’s basketball team defeat-ed the third seeded San Ber-nardino Valley College Wol-verines handily, 53-32. The win places the Gauchos in the California Community Col-lege Athletic Association State Tournament for the first time since the 2011.

The game began with SBVC getting the first basket, but the Gauchos quickly responded with a three-pointer.

The game remained ex-tremely close until the first stop-page of play when the score was 8-7. From then on, Saddleback played like a team destined for greatness.

The Gauchos went on an 18-2 scoring run with help com-ing primarily from sophomores Dusty Baker, Andrew Bournes and Conor Clifford and fresh-man Maleke Haynes.

“[Jalen Hall] was injured tonight, so I had to put more on my shoulders in handling the ball duties,” Haynes said.

When the Gauchos offen-sive barrage was finally fin-ished and the dust settled, Sad-dleback was leading 28-14 at halftime. The Wolverines did have a chance to cut into the lead near the end of the half, but they were unable to make four easy free throws.

and just like in the beginning the game, the Gauchos coun-tered with a big three-pointer. The Wolverines were able to make it interesting again after this, going on an 8-0 run and making the score 33-24. This was the the closest SBVC got to the Gauchos in the second half.

For the rest of the game Saddleback played lockdown defense, fed the ball inside

to their centers Clifford and sophomore Kyle Hoag and got big three-point baskets from Bournes and Baker.

“Coaches gave us confi-dence and we played tough defense tonight,” Baker said. “We come prepared every time we play and we took care of the ball tonight.”

When all was set and done, the Gauchos celebrated a 53-32 victory.

“We tried to get [the ball] into the big guys and when they started doubling us every time, we just kicked it out and got open looks,” sophomore forward Collin Host said.

Saddleback head coach Andy Ground was very dissat-isfied with his team’s defen-sive performance in the pre-vious game, but had different thoughts about the way the team played on Saturday.

“I thought the defense was the reason we won the game,” Ground said. “[The players] executed the game plan to a tee and that’s why we came out on top.”

Even former NBA player Reggie Theus and current Cal State Northridge men’s bas-ketball head coach gave his thoughts.

“It was a fun game to watch especially in the first half. I

thought both teams really played hard. It was a solid game all the way around,” Theus said.

The Gauchos will now trav-el to Cerritos College to play in the “Final Four.” Their first opponent will be the Canada College Colts from Redwood City, California. The game will be on Friday, Mar. 13 at 7 p.m.

IVC pitching gets them another big win in conference

The Irvine Valley College baseball team got a shutout vic-tory over the Orange Coast Pi-rates last Saturday with a score of 4-0. The Lasers now hold a record of 11-7 on the season and maintain the third place spot in the Orange Empire Conference standings.

Both IVC and Orange Coast started the game by playing strong defense and allowing nei-ther to score. This changed in the bottom of the second inning when Lasers first baseman Rob-

bie Espinosa helped his team thanks to an error by Orange Coast, bringing the score to 1-0.

The game then entered a lengthy stalemate. Orange Coast players were denied any leads due to excellent teamwork from the Lasers and superb pitching from Ryan Abady. Fielders Clint Jack, Dillion Millar and Brett Hamilton all made key catches that prevent-ed Orange Coast from scoring.

The standoff would finally end in the bottom of the eighth inning. IVC would break the si-lence with three runs provided by Jordan Gillerman, Cory Men-doza and Millar.

Orange Coast had one more attempt during the ninth. After two outs and a walked player by Abady, IVC would end the game victorious after the Pirates Jack Pulcheon was sent packing with

a ground out.“I thought we played defense

really well,” Tancas said. “That was probably the reason we won the game. They [Orange Coast] seated some balls up that we made some great plays on and I think that was the difference in the game.”

Espinosa thought his team executed their game plan very well.

“I think it went well,” Espino-sa said. “We executed a lot better today. We found a lot of oppor-tunities and when we had our chances we came through. Ryan Abady pitched a good game for us, kept us in it and I thought it was a good win for us.”

The Lasers will next play at Saddleback on Tuesday, Mar. 10 at 2 p.m.
