OUSTON JONES, senior cinema and television arts major at CSUN, was an unpaid intern at the Santa Barbara-based Montecito Picture Company. However, Jones did not perform

any tasks related to film. He brewed coffee, ordered food for his supervisors and ran errands for which he was not compensated for gas mileage.

“I felt like Montecito Picture Company didn’t offer anything at all, except for a recommendation letter that seemed to be a [template],” Jones said. “Even though it was in a film production company, it didn’t feel film-related.”

Internships have become staples for students looking to gain work experience while they earn their degrees, but similar situations like that of Jones have sparked a backlash in recent years against companies who seem to take advantage of temporary workers.

In a recent New York federal court ruling, Fox Searchlight Pictures was found to be in violation of labor laws because they wrongly labeled four unpaid trainees as interns rather than employees while working on films “Black Swan” and “500 Days of Summer.”

In December 2012, Charlie Rose, Inc. settled a lawsuit and agreed to pay 189 interns up to $250,000 for work done on the “Charlie Rose” television show.

AssociAtes from CSUN’s radio station, KCSN-1, celebrated the launch of KCSN-2, the first 24/7 Latin Alternative Rock station, Wendesday.

The station hosted a session with Los Lobos, a popular Latin American rock band that has been considered a pioneer in the Latin American music move-ment for 40 years ago.

Sky Daniels, general man-ager of KCSN-1, said he is surprised that no commercial station has dipped into this for-mat as the market for a pre-dominantly Hispanic audience is growing nationwide.

Daniels said L.A.’s popu-lation is 50 percent Hispanic and the CSUN population is an excellent representation of that. The Hispanic population at CSUN is about 40 percent, according to 2012 statistics on the CSUN website.

Keeping in mind that the new target audience for KCSN-2 is between the ages of 18 and 32, the music played is very diverse hitting popular genres such as hip-hop, EDM, rock and alternative.

Artists such as “The Cure” and “The Smiths” have a large

following in the Hispanic-Amer-ican community. Elvis Costel-lo and the Roots did a song in Spanish which exemplifies the converging genres moving towards a multi-cultural nature. This is a better representation of the second and third genera-tion of Hispanic-Americans and what they listen to.

Gloria Star, a senior at CSUN, describes the music she has heard from the new station as a mix of rock, Cumbia and Mariachi, primarily in Spanish.

“The music seems diverse to Spanish speakers but not really diverse to everyone,” Star said.

Daniels said the vision of

the station being Latin-based needs to be clear before broad-ening to a more diverse plat-form. Star is apprehensive on how the new format will accommodate the evening news broadcast but believes the station will quickly become very popular considering the CSUN population.

Daniels describes the choice of aired music as a horizon-tal format rather than the ver-tical one used by commercial stations. To keep profits high, commercial radio pulls from the same top 40 songs. Dan-iels challenges this by pulling from a pool of 40 thousand. The

intention is to reach the broadest young audience.

KCSN-2 will offer a variety of music to serve the people’s diverse tastes. In other words, something for everyone.

“The sounds of the sta-tion represents a multicultural community,” Daniels said. “This is one of the primary dif-ferences between public radio and commercial radio. The aim is different. The funding comes from sponsors and lis-teners which means the audi-ence feedback is listened to.”

KCSN-2 is launching a cam-paign to have students as music hosts. Students with knowledge

of Latin Alternative from the music, visual communication, drama and journalism depart-ments are encouraged to join the KCSN staff and broadcast.

KCSN-2 aims to provide a place for artists who have no radio home. Although Los Lobos started out with very American influences, namely in punk rock and blues that rebelled against the music of their heritage, they now feel the need to pay hom-age to where they came from by incorporating traditional his-panic music – the music of their parents – into their style.

Los Lobos felt privileged to volunteer their time and tal-ent because they “respect what we’re trying to do,” according to Daniels. Steve Berlin, member of Los Lobos, said that he has been waiting 30 years for a sta-tion like this.

KCSN is a public radio sta-tion that relies on bands coming and donating their time to play free sessions for their listeners. KCSN also wants to work close-ly with the Valley Performing Arts Center to put on shows of their listeners’ favorite artists.

Daniels said that he wants students relating to the music and taking pride in it as listeners.

“The station should be emblem of pride for CSUN,” he said.

“Radio is in my blood,” Daniels said. “Radio is being lost in this generation. We can

challenge that. It doesn’t mean it can’t happen, just not in the commercial format that cares solely about profit and revenue.”

Students walk around cam-pus carrying phones, not radios. To accommodate this genera-tion of listeners, KCSN-2 will be broadcasted online at latinalt.org. They aim to create their own app but may just link to the Sundial app so that students can find it more easily and save space on their display page.

Daniels has high hopes for this new station.

“We are gearing up for what might be another lightning in a bottle,” Daniels said.

CSUN to celebrate Trans Awareness Week

The Pride CenTerand the CSUN LGBTQA will host Trans Awareness Week from Nov. 18-21. This week will feature free events in hopes of bringing awareness of the transgen-der community to CSUN.

Trans Awareness Week will begin with Trans 101 on Nov. 18 at 1pm and 4pm in the Balboa Room of the USU. The lecture will enlighten students about the transgender commu-nity by exploring defini-tions and terms used within the community and the do’s and don’t s involving the culture according to the event website.

The Privacy For all Stu-dents Coalition (PFSA) has recently attained enough signatures to put AB 1266 on the ballot in Nov. 2014. The proposed bill gives transgender students rights when it comes to freedom of gender identity expression in the hopes of overturn-ing the assembly bill which goes into effect January 1.

With this new episode developing within the transgender community, the Pride Center and the LGBTQA community are emphasizing the impor-tance of Trans Awareness Week since as many votes as possible will be needed next year to keep AB 1266 in effect.

“The plan for Trans Awareness Week is to not just target the LGBTQ community but to target our allies and the straight community who don’t have much knowledge on the LGBTQ community.” said Timothy Nang, a junior who is majoring in humanities and currently works as the public relations coordinator for CSUN’s LGBTQA. “If we target only the LGBTQ community we would be preaching to the choir.”

Other events, which will also take place on Monday include Rethinking Trans, a seminar by Dr. Rachel Levin who will be present-ing her multi-year research on transgender identity, and Trans 2.0, a discus-sion on what the various identities and communi-ties under the transgender umbrella talk about.

“Even if people don’t

necessarily want the infor-mation, it will be good to have because they may have someone in their family or a friend that’s trans who they could help through knowledge and understand-ing.” said Nang.

The Starlight Ceremony will be held on Thursday Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. which will include an award cer-emony at 7:30 pm and The “T” is not Silent talent show at 8pm.

“We’re looking forward to having the trans commu-nity be visible again.” said Nang.” What do you have to lose besides being more aware and having more knowledge with which you can teach others, accept it, or not accept but at least you have more knowledge about it.”

Creator of “Catfish” shares life experiences

APPlAuse and the flash of cameras welcomed Nev Schul-man, the star of the MTV series Catfish: The TV Show, to the stage of the at capacity Northridge Center in the USU on Wednesday night.

Using a series of anecdotes, personal photos and internet memes Schulman gave the audience a glimpse into his life and emphasized that the road to success is a road that is very rarely straight.

“When I was 19, I hit my lowest low,” Schulman said.

He had spiraled out of con-trol until his brother was bru-tally honest with him about the person he was becoming, Schulman said. This revelation was the galvanization that pro-pelled him to be a better friend and person all around.

Schulman reiterated the importance of having a core group of people to challenge you to be the best person you can be.

“Be brutally honest with yourself,” said Schulman. “Find people who are willing to do the same.”

Marlene Santoyo-Rosales, 18, freshman kinesiology major, was randomly selected from the audience to take a selfie with Schulman but not before saying hello to all the self-identified single men in the room.

The path to the stage took her on a twisted route which Schulman used as an analogy of the road of life and reaching the finish line.

A fan of the show, Santoyo-Rosales said she was not fall-ing in love via the internet, as Schulman did in the origi-nal documentary, and said she would stick to old-fashioned way of finding love after hear-ing his experiences.

Victor Molina, 22, senior

and liberal studies major said he had never seen either the documentary or the show.

Working as a special events assistant in the USU for the event, Molina said he gathered from people waiting in line that Schulman’s work aims to help people realize the dangers of false identities of people online.

“I think this (Catfish) is the most relevant PSA (public ser-vice announcement) because it resonates with us (college students),” said Molina.

Schulman also touched on buzzworthy topics such as safe sex, the need to make the not-so-elusive “dick pic” a thing of fiction and how important it is to think before you post to social media.

Another hyped up comic book film found its way into theaters this past weekend with the Viking sci/fi epic, “Thor: The Dark World.” The newest Marvel offering continues Thor’s story as well as the overarch-ing Avengers plotline, and to no one’s surprise, these movies are still killing it at the box office.

The universe created by these films has tapped into people’s curiosity, allowing moviegoers to get a two-hour escape every year by watching their favor-ite superhero fight off another super villain while simultane-ously wrestling with their own issues. The formula is tried and true, and has been working for

years. And therein lies the prob-lem: by taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, you can’t help but notice that these are all just the same movie with a different face.

Marvel’s world of Avenger-associated superhero films has become staggeringly large since they began their ‘Phases’ in 2008 with “Iron Man,” not to mention the recent movement to television with “A.G.E.N.T.S of Shield” and the newly announced Marvel series on Netflix. In the time between then and now, there have been eight films put out by Marvel - half of them featuring Tony Stark. The cracks in Marvel’s armor started to show not too long after the sequel to “Iron Man” was released. In the first film, we were taken by sur-prise. How in the hell did Robert Downey Jr. rise from the ashes

and make “Iron Man,” one of the most watchable movies of the year? It’s simple, really. The guy has enough charisma to fill multiple trilogies, and seeing him play Stark is always a treat, even when the story around him gets repetitively ridiculous (looking at you, Iron Man 2 & 3).

The assertion that superhero movies are starting to lack originali-ty isn’t a new one by any means, but it is one that is becoming increas-ingly obvious. There’s just not that much you can do with a super-hero movie anymore. You’ve got the flawed hero (Stark, Thor, Hulk etc.), standard villain (with the exception of Loki), damsel in distress (Pepper Potts, Jane Foster) and a problem that is usually solved by a mix of big explosions and smashing the bad guy into multiple buildings.

It wasn’t until 2012 when “The Avengers” was released that things started to get fun again. The

movie shouldn’t have worked, but writer/director Joss Whedon set the standard for how to take what was old and stale about comic book movies and make it fresh again by poking some fun at the giant ego of superheroes. Then a film like “Thor: The Dark World” comes along and reminds us that we’ve seen this all before.

The stories are essentially written before they’re even put on screen. And that notion is disregarding the comic book source material, and highlighting the fact that the audi-ence can probably guess how a movie like “Thor: The Dark World” will end before the first act even begins.

That is not necessarily a prob-lem, but more of a drag. Where are all the surprises? Can the hero once, just once, not come out on top at the end of one of these mov-

ies and save his triumphant return for the inevitable sequel? There’s probably not a definitive answer to that, but is it so much to ask?

For those who would say it’s unfair to just be picking on Mar-vel films, DC superhero films, while a bit darker, are also repeat offenders. The lackluster “Man of Steel,” jaw-droppingly bad “The Green Lantern” and even “The Dark Knight Rises” all suffered from ‘been-there-seen-that’ as well. And now with DC mixing up its characters (the forthcoming Superman vs. Bat-man film), it seems that the studios bringing us these flicks are about to have their cake and eat it too by mixing bankable heroes in one movie, while we as filmgoers are left to watch the same story be told to us every

year under a different title. But with all that said, it’s

OK, because these movies are at the point where they don’t really have to try anymore. Not that those involved in the films aren’t giving it their all, they just recognize that the mechanism is working and there’s no need to fix it. People like watching something familiar, but at the same time they want to retain the feeling that what they’re seeing is somehow different from the rest. Despite playing it safe for the most part, these movies are still exciting and have fun with their premises, but eventually the predictability factor will catch up. When it does, lets hope “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” is there to pick up the pieces.

Paving the way for the next-gen

The “Mass Effect” series made a huge impact, but it was the second title in the series, “Mass Effect 2,” that set standards for the next generation. Develop-ers design their games with player agency in mind, meaning gamers have vary-ing levels of control over their characters and in some cases, the outcome of the title’s story. “Mass Effect 2” offers gamers a defined player agency. Gamers can dictate almost every plot point of the epic space opera, as well as intertwine their personality with that of Commander Shepard’s, the series’ protagonist. Players choose how they will interact with other characters and events in the game, thus setting off unforeseen consequences that shape the “Mass Effect 2” story into a unique and immersive experience.

Of all the titles on this list, “Wii Sports” has had the greatest influence on not just games, but the consoles too. With “Wii Sports,” Nintendo showed that motion gaming was more than a gimmick. “Wii Sports” was intuitive, easy to learn for casual and non-gamers, but immersive enough for the hardcore gamers to get into. “Wii Sports” was packaged with every Wii, which was incredibly smart on the part of Nintendo. It allowed everyone to experience the intuitive motion controls of the Wii, giving the traditional controller a break for once . The industry responded positively to Wii and “Wii Sports,” with Sony and Microsoft releasing their own motion controls. “Wii Sports” influence over games and the industry is by far the largest compared to many other great games that released this generation.

The “Call of Duty” series ruled this generation of consoles, it also did so while becoming a multi-billion dollar franchise. However, first-person-shooter developers will undoubtedly take notes from “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” regarding the next generation of consoles. “Call of Duty 4” changed the landscape of multiplayer with a leveling system akin to role-playing games that made it easy for people to sink countless hours into. The game also introduced a perk system that allows players to customize their play style without breaking the balance of the multiplayer. “Call of Duty” has turned into an annual franchise that some say has overstayed its welcome. While it’s tough to say that is true, it’s easy to admit that the influence of “Call of Duty 4” will long be felt in the next generation of games.

The nexT Two weeks are going to be interesting for the video game industry. New consoles are here, yet no one really knows what the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are capable of. More importantly, many people are asking what new gaming experiences developers will deliver with the new hardware. In order to get an idea of what to expect, the industry should reflect on some of the most influential titles of this generation. Take a look at this list of four games that are the stepping-stones for the next-generation.

The opening moments of “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” alone are the building blocks for the next generation of video games. Hanging from a destroyed passenger cart of a train, Nathan Drake, Uncharted’s protagonist, must climb his way out of the train to avoid falling to his death in the vast canyon below. It’s a short sequence, but the tension lasts forever, making “Uncharted 2” one of the most important games of this current generation. Naughty Dog, the studio behind the “Uncharted” series, set standards for developing immersive gameplay with “Uncharted 2.” The scale of the action sequences is unrivaled by most games that come out in the current generation. “Uncharted 2” will surely influence many studios for the next generation.

Five apps to help support student procrastinationTech Talk

Make your class presentations pop with the Prezi app.the walking dead

(free version, no dlc packs)

Fans of the show will be slightly underwhelmed by “The Walking Dead” app for iPad. Yes, it is free, but therein lies the problem. The majority of the storyline consists of character development, and users will find that the gameplay offers little in the way of difficulty. Action commands are literally point and touch, and the only way to die is to find an unfortunate limb being sampled by a predatory zombie. Instead of playing as the series’ protagonist, Rick, the game takes you on a journey through a completely different set of eyes. As Lee, you find yourself on the run from zombies and people alike, searching for shelter, weapons, ammuni-tion and food. Additional downloadable content packs can be purchased through the App Store for $19.99, which includes Episodes 2-5, and a Special Episode map pack “400 Days.”

This semesTer, the myCSUNtablet Initiative was unveiled to students and faculty within various academic concentrations. CSUN’s long-term goal is the ‘widening deployment of portable devices and cloud technology for teach-ing and learning.’ With hundreds of students currently equipped with tablet devices– more exclusively Apple iPads– the bar has been raised for academics and entertainment. Here are a few iPad apps that will help you get through those boring classes, and some to recoup much-needed course points for said snoozers.

lumosity (brain-training/strengthening game)

When life’s curveballs has your brain feeling like a warm bowl of Jell-O, turn to the “Lumosity” app for some cerebral invigoration. Employing a unique set of brain training and strengthening “games,” “Lumosity” offers helpful exercises to help you retain information and promote hand-eye coordination. Recall patterns of objects in Memory Matrix, do math on the fly in Raindrops and test your spatial awareness in Speed Pack. You are given 3-5 activities per day to complete each week, and games can be customized to suit aspects of memory you choose to improve.

scarecrow (by chipotle + moonbot games)

If you haven’t seen Chipotle’s new ad campaign for sustain-ability, it’s time you had. “The Scarecrow” commercial became an overnight hit, and has accrued over 7 million likes on YouTube since its late September introduction. Besides being impressive eye candy, “The Scarecrow” campaign was subsequently turned into an Apple-friendly entertainment app. As the purveyor of Scarecrow Farms, it is your job to bring fresh produce and sustainable consumer practices to the City of Plenty. Carefully navigate your way through radiation-filled food plants, rescue farm animals and prevent mechanical crows from spoiling your GMO-free fields. Although the gameplay may seem juvenile to some, its overall message is enough to keep you interested in its quirky delivery.

prezi

Recurrent Apple users should have little trouble adjusting to the Prezi app for iPad. Similar to the laptop-platform presenta-tion application, Powerpoint, Prezi boasts an impressive array of templates and designs. Navigation is a bit more intricate, as users have the ability to incorporate more interactive visual enhancements and cues. Your finished work can be exported as an email or copied with a URL code to share with others. Use Prezi for your next group presentation, or at work to impress your boss!

apps gone free

Apps Gone Free is the The Holy Grail of iPad apps. Instead of endlessly navigating the App Store for the latest in free games and apps, Apps Gone Free forwards you 7 top picks each day to download. Apps are slashed from prices ranging from $.99 to upwards of $5.99, and once you’ve downloaded them onto your Apple device, there’s no obligation to pay for concurrent updates or data. Just remember the app holds true to the “here today, gone tomorrow” mantra, as each days’ apps are only available on the day they were posted.

Unified We Serve display charity donations

richard Weinroth, food bank director and executive chef of meet each need With Dignity (menD), said he was greatful for all the hard work that CSun put into the clothing and food drive. all of the donations raised were given to menD, an organization focused on helping impoverished people and families.

a representative of the fraternity pi Kappa alpha, Jack roach, 21, a civil engineering major, volunteered, not only to complete his hours for his fraternity, but to help the less fortunate as well.

uWS and Community engagement volunteers stand amidst the 9,013 non-perishable goods raised at their annual clothing and canned food drive. they collected goods from CSun students, staff and faculty for two weeks.

During the Commemorative Ceremony, uWS activities coordinator, Justin Weiss, gave a speech thank-ing those who volunteered. “We could not have done what we did without all of you,” he said.

volunteers lined up non-perishable goods, clothing and toys across the oviatt library steps to represent the large amount of donations CSun raised. this year’s clothing and food drive was co-sponsored by unified We Serve and Community engagement.

For those living below poverty or working with a low income, a well-balanced meal may be a luxury. One cannot truly comprehend the value of a can of beans or a hand-me-down sweater unless one has also expe-rienced poverty. Donated food and clothing can make a tremendous difference in a persons well-being.

Based on a study in August 2013 from The Pub-lic Policy Institute in Cali-fornia, low income house-holds made up over 16% of the population in 2011, and this number is on the rise.

CSUN’s Unified We Serve (UWS), a volun-teer program offered by the Matador Involvement Center and Community Engagement (CE), a ser-vice learning department, partnered their volunteers and held their annual Cloth-ing and Canned Food Drive from Nov. 4 to Nov. 13. The donations raised are given to Meet Each Need With Dignity (MEND), a non-profit organization dedicat-ed to helping those living in poverty and to lead them toward self-reliance and financial stability.

Richard Weinroth, food

bank director and executive chef of MEND, said “The collaboration with CSUN is fantastic. The Matador spirit and support of UWS volun-teers is great.”

Volunteers lined up non-perishable goods, clothing, books and toys across the Oviatt Library steps to rep-resent the large amount of donations CSUN students, staff and faculty have raised in only two weeks time.

“[MEND] serves about 20,000 people and families every month. We would not be able to do this without CSUN’s help,” Weinroth said.

UWS and CE held a Commemorative Ceremony at the Oviatt Library lawn on Wednesday and announced the donation numbers. Among the donated were 9,013 non-perishable goods, 950 articles of clothing, 25 toys and 50 books. 10,038 items were donated in total, twice the amount from last year’s drive.

During the Commemora-tive Ceremony, UWS activ-ities coordinator, Justin Weiss, gave a speech thank-ing those who volunteered.

“We could not have done what we did without all of you,” Weiss said.

He also thanked those who participated in gather-ing items to donate. Among those who donated was soci-ology professor, Dr. James Ballard whose classes col-lectively donated over 3,500 food items.

Hey, you! Yeah, you – the student nearing the end of your college career with a sparkle in your eye, ambi-tion in your heart and real-ity right around the corner.

You’re looking for a chance to break into your chosen field, right? You need the connections. You also need the experience. The best thing you can go for is an internship, regard-less of pay, right?

You’ll be working along-side professionals doing what you hope to do one day and get a sense of what your future environment may be. So what if you aren’t getting paid, it’s the experience that matters.

This is what you typi-cally hear from companies offering internships to eager college students or recent graduates.

But let’s look at the cri-teria for an unpaid intern-ship. According to the U.S. Wage and Hour Divisions of the Department of Labor, there are six criteria for internship programs:1. The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educa-tional environment.

2. The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern.

3. The intern does not dis-place regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff.

4. The employer that provides the training derives no imme-diate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded.

5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclu-sion of the internship.

6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the

time spent in the internship.That doesn’t sound so

bad. It sounds to me like interns have the opportunity to observe professionals as they work, but what will they be doing if they can’t do anything their employer will benefit from?

Maybe go on coffee and lunch runs? Then why should the student even bother spending so much time in that office if they can’t even be productive?

Stephanie Martin, 22,

senior marketing major, is an unpaid cause-related marketing intern for Power 106 and some of her respon-sibilities include assisting in finding contact information for possible sponsors to host events that will raise aware-ness for a particular cause.

She believes that it is important to take on intern-ships in order to give the student an insight into the business and realize if whether or not that career is right for them.

“I think it’s fine that it is unpaid, as long as they have a good program and that the student is actually learning something,” Martin said.

Although Martin seems to be benefiting from the internship, it sounds to me like her employer is totally benefiting from her work, so shouldn’t she be paid?

The Unpaid Interns Lawsuit is an entire web-site dedicated to filing law-suits against NBCUniversal, Conde Nast, the Hearst Cor-

poration and Fox Search-light. These complaints were submitted by past interns who felt all their work and hours deserved compensation.

“The practice of classify-ing employees as ‘interns’ to avoid paying wages runs afoul of federal and state wage and hour laws, which require employers to pay all workers whom they ‘suffer or per-mit’ the minimum wage and overtime,” the Unpaid Interns Lawsuit website states.

If results are what these large corporations are look-ing for, then paid internships is what they should be offer-ing. Interns should not be taken advantage of simply because they are students.

Many students will take the unpaid internship over no internship and do the work because they want that experience to fill up their resume.

Besides, these corpora-tions are big enough to pay interns decent wages for their work. It’s not like they desperately need the free labor in order to keep their business afloat.

According to a National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) student survey, among 2013 gradu-ates who had applied for a job, those who took part in paid internships enjoyed an advantage over students who took an unpaid intern-ship or none at all.

The results of NACE’s survey revealed that about 63 percent of paid interns received at least one job offer compared to only 37 percent of unpaid interns or 35 percent for those with no internship experience.

The starting salary also varied, with paid interns receiving $51,930 after graduation compared to $35,721 for unpaid interns and $37,087 for grads with no internship experience.

In the end, an unpaid internship may not be the best route. It may lead to making connections but it can also lead to being taken advantage of and working long hours with no promise of a job offer.

The best thing would be to find a paid intern-ship, one where you will be allowed to work alongside professionals and receive constructive criticism based on that work.

We may be college stu-dents trying to break into our field but that does not make us any less deserving of a fair working experi-ence that will ultimately benefit us in our future endeavors.

Internship is work without the payA survey shows that people who have had paid internships end up getting higher paid jobs after graduation

Unpaid vs. paid internships Through the Career Center, CSUN

offers students a website called SUN-Link, where employers post jobs, fellow-ships and internship opportunities.

Jordan Helo, peer educator intern specialist at CSUN’s Career Center, has interned at five different locations. She is a graduate student in recreation tour-ism management and hopes to become a wedding planner. Helo said internships are beneficial to students.

“If you get into an internship and you think this is what you want to do for the rest of your life and you go and you dislike it, then you know this isn’t for (you),” Helo said.

Helo said approximately 75 percent of the internships offered through the website are unpaid, but she said students should recognize other potential benefits that internships offer, such as college units or pay for meals and gas.

“(Internships are) also helpful in net-working,” Helo said. “You meet people at your internships. Even if you don’t get a job with them right away, you’ll always have that contact, whether it be for a let-ter of recommendation or later down the future (to) see if they know any positions that open. I think that’s great.”

Ross Perlin, author of “Intern Nation: How to Earn Nothing and Learn Little in the Brave New Econ-omy,” argues unpaid internships are “bad news across the board.”

“An unpaid internship may be legiti-mate if it’s a short-term training oppor-tunity, or if it’s just another word for a bona fide volunteer situation,” Perlin said. “Paid internships have some real benefits in terms of landing people jobs, showing them how certain industries and employers operate, teaching things that can’t be learned in a classroom.”

Perlin’s book uses four years of research to tackle subjects such as internships and their effect on the economy, how internships impact the lives of young people, social inequal-ities potentially maintained by intern-ships and the effects internships have on certain industries.

the growth of Unpaid internships:

In the 1930s, the term “intern” was reserved for those who earned a medical degree but had not yet been licensed to practice in their field. Some time later, it became a term that substituted for a political apprentice, according to a Time magazine article.

By 1983, the number of colleges offering co-op programs — situations in which students would receive job training at a company while they were in school — rose to 1,000. These pro-grams were initially more common than the internships people participate in today, which started in the 1960s.

Today, pre-job training contin-ues to grow. According to a 2013 survey by the National Associa-tion of Colleges and Employers, the number of internships is pro-jected to increase about 2 percent this year. Co-op programs are also expected to rise about 6 percent.

The survey also found 67 percent of paid internships lead to a full-time job compared to 33 percent of unpaid interns successfully getting work. In addition, 35 percent of students who did not have an internship got at least one job offer.

The study also revealed a gap in starting salary among those with internships versus unpaid intern-ships. The average starting salary of new graduates with paid internships was just under $52,000 compared to almost $36,000 for graduates

with unpaid internships. Those who graduated with no internship expe-rience earn about $37,000, which is more than students with unpaid internship experience.

Income and even gender also seems to play a part in whether a person takes an unpaid or paid internship. According to a 2010 report released by Intern Bridge, Inc., women and students with a higher economic background were more likely to participate in unpaid internships at for-profit companies.

the faces behind Unpaid internships

Helo said industries that most commonly offer paid internships via SUNLink are ones involving an advanced skill such as engineering and computer science. In regards to unpaid internships, she said most come from small businesses or the entertainment industry.

According to the Intern Bridge report, the academic majors offer-ing more unpaid versus paid intern-ships were education (34 percent paid), social sciences (35 percent paid), health sciences (39 percent paid), communications (41 percent paid), and arts and humanities (43 percent paid).

The study also found 57 percent of the internships offered by smaller companies and firms were unpaid, while larger companies had 17 percent of their internships unpaid.

There are six criteria which deter-mine whether someone working for a company can be unpaid under the Fair Labor Standards Act, according to the United States Department of Labor. Some of the criteria include that the intern work under close supervision, other employees must not be displaced by the intern, the

employer must not benefit most from having an intern, and others.

Perlin feels the guidelines are a good start, but are being taken advan-tage of by employers.

“I wouldn’t say they’re perfect, but I think the (Department of Labor) stan-dards provide reasonable guidance, demonstrating that there (should) only be a very narrow exception from pay for short-term training programs,” Perlin said. “The biggest problem right now is that these guidelines are not being enforced (and) that so many employers are ignoring them.”

Helo feels the act is not currently doing any good for students who wish to pursue an internship.

“Right now, it’s kind of construct-ed where it’s very general and it’s kind of hard for us to make it relevant for every student because there’s a lot of holes in it,” Helo said. “That’s basically why, right now, all of these things are changing because a lot of students are suing companies because they were taken advantage of, they didn’t get their academic credit, (a company) promised something that they didn’t do or (companies) were using them for 40 or more hours per week, unpaid.”

However, not all unpaid intern-ships turn out to be horror stories. Jones worked for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, a nonprofit organization, and said he was involved with much more film-relevant tasks and felt his time there was positive. This January will be his fourth year as an unpaid intern for the festival.

“There was a lot more that was offered for the people working as interns,” Jones said of the company. “The fact that I had fun and the perks that came from doing it pushed me to working hard and doing a good job and in the end, that got me invited again.”

Men’s Soccer: Women’s Basketball:

DAVID HAWKINS / DAILY SUNDIAL

Junior forward Stephen Maxwell led the way for the Matadors with a double-double. Maxwell finished the night with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Matadors dropped by Trojans, fall 95-79

AFTER ONLY being down four in the second half, the Matadors (1-1) were hit with a 16-3 scoring run and suffered a blowout loss to the USC Trojans (1-1) Tuesday, 95-79.

The Matador offense was ice cold, only shooting 33.3 percent for the game. The Trojans shot an efficient 57.1 percent and outscored CSUN in points in the paint, 50-26.

Junior forward Stephen Maxwell recorded his second straight dou-ble-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Senior guard Josh Greene led CSUN in scoring with 19, but only shot 4-15 from the field. Junior guard Byron Wesley had 16 points and 11 rebounds for USC.

The first half was a back-and-forth game of runs. CSUN got off to a quick start, scoring the first five points of the game. But USC answered back with a 12-4 run capped off by a two-hand dunk from

freshman guard Julian Jacobs off of a lob pass from Wesley.

After junior forward Stephan Hicks put in a jumper to cut the Tro-jan lead to five, USC went on a 10-4 run which consisted of either layups or free throws. The Matadors trailed at the half, 42-31.

CSUN had trouble with seven-foot-two senior center Omar Oraby all night. He scored 17 points, blocked two shots and only missed once from the field. His seven made baskets all seemed to come from inside the paint.

“He’s 7’2”, so he’s going to get a couple baskets like that,” Greene said of Oraby. “But it was a collec-tive effort. We should have blocked him out a little bit more [and] made it tougher for him.”

The Matadors went to a zone defense to start the second half, which allowed them to stay within striking distance of the Trojans. But USC kept making shots and connected on 50 percent of their threes in the half.

Head coach Reggie Theus was disappointed with his team’s reliance on the three-point shot after making only five of 22.

“The one thing I am not happy with — we’re not a team that shoots 22 threes,” Theus said. “That’s not something that we do. I think that that’s too many threes.”

Drew agreed with Theus about the team’s overuse of the long ball.

“I don’t think that’s our game,” Drew said. “We really should’ve been attacking a whole lot more.”

Greene felt the Matadors were forced out of their high-speed running game due to USC’s effective shooting.

“In order for us to run, we gotta rebound the ball,” Greene said. “We gotta get defensive stops and if we’re always taking the ball out of the basket, then that stops our momen-tum. When we actually got defensive stops, we were able to push the ball and got good things.”

While this is the first loss of the season for CSUN, Drew felt the team’s effort was a positive takeaway.

“All in all, I felt like we really fought for the most part and I’m proud of how we played,” Drew said. “We didn’t back down.”

The Matadors travel to Fresno State for a road game against the Bulldogs on Saturday, Nov. 16.

ALEX VEJARDAILY SUNDIAL

Despite an even first half, Northridge played out of character and suffered its first loss of the season in the Galen Center against USC
