While a variety of classes can help students secure a career, self- defense helps to secure personal

safety.In the first four weeks of the spring

semester there have been criminal threats, stalking, grand theft and disorderly conduct reported on campus.

Self-defense, unlike other martial arts, is concentrated on discovering the quickest and most direct means to get oneself out of danger.

“MMA and Ultimate Fighting have too many rules,” instructor of self-defense, Dennis Blue, said. “They have like 60 something rules. That’s like saying we’re going to war but you can’t do this, you can’t do that. You can’t defend yourself.”

The self-defense class is combined with a technique called Jeet Kune Do. Jeet Kune Do literally translates to “the way of stopping the fist.”

Created by Bruce Lee, this style of fighting takes parts of fencing, boxing,

kung fu and other combative styles and gets rid of all the unnecessary parts. It is about a daily decrease, not an increase. A style-less style that is concerned with the individual not the style.

“The most important thing we want our students to get from our classes is a sense of self-awareness,” assistant instructor, Steve Borden, said. “It’s kind of like when you learn how to drive, you learn how to read the road,so you can see something before it happens.”

The Bureau of Justice reports that 45 percent of all crimes are violent crimes, which include aggravated and simple assault, rape and robbery.

“Since I have a son now, I’m more cautious about where we’re at, especially at night. It’s good to know how to defend myself and protect my son,” nursing major Felicia Marquez said.

Jeet Kune Do teaches that there is no help but self help. A teacher guides the student and it is up to the student to find personal truth and liberation.

“I teach the basic principles and you

adapt it to yourself because no two people are the same or built the same,” Blue said. “There are no cookie-cutter techniques. Jeet Kune Do is very alive, constantly moving. It’s not what most people expect.”

Blue also teaches off campus at Self Defense Arts in Upland. Students from Chaffey and throughout the community go to further their self defense and Jeet Kune Do skills.

“It’s a good activity, something good to know and it’s fun to learn,” geology major Stewart Simon said.

“I want to get into law enforcement so I thought I would start in self defense first before I went to the academy,” Raul Felix, administrative justice major, said. “This is real world stuff.”

There are no belts or trophies to be earned at self defense. The hard work one puts into it means something different to each person and each reward is unique to every experience.

“If I’m attacked,” Andre Jackson, communications major, said, “then walking away or killing the other person is my reward.”

LINDA EVAN

Californiaʼs budget crisis has already delivered a severe blow to college and university students, but the

worst may be yet to come.Chaffey’s 2011 summer semester will

be cut to only 90 courses, which is 45 less than offered last summer.

The courses will be limited to core general education classes, and very few vocational and elective courses will be offered.

In addition, evening classes will not be offered, student services will be reduced and there will be no library or Success Center access during weekends.

This is in preparation for further cuts the college may suffer as a result of the state’s budget crisis. The funds allocated to community colleges may be cut anywhere from $4 to $10 million, depending on the final budget and voter-approved tax extensions.

“We are planning for the worst-case

scenario,” Sherrie Guerrero, Vice President of Instruction and Student Services, said, “which is approximately 800 classes being cut for 2011-2012 and hoping the worst does not happen.”

Many students will be adversely affected by the limited number of courses offered and reduced campus hours.

“I work full time, and its already difficult enough for me to get classes,” accounting major Kimberly Sandoval said. “I guess I can only hope for the best.”

With the small number of courses being offered, competition for classes will be fierce. Guerrero urges students to plan early, pay for courses when payment is due and commit to their classes. She believes that through these difficult times students and college staff can work together to ensure the best possible outcome.

“Be assured we will offer as many courses as we can financially afford given the constraints of the state budget,” she said. “We remain committed to student access, success, and completion.”

The parking ticket machines are cre-ating an inconvenience and safety issues for students and visitors.

Luis Sanchez, undecided major, missed 10 minutes of class trying to buy a day ticket to park.

“The first machine I tried was on the ground, and the next one I tried didn’t work,” Sanchez said. “The one at the VSS parking lot didn’t take my ATM card.”

After trying three different machines

and three parking lots, Sanchez ended up going to the administration building to buy a parking pass. Sanchez had planned to buy a pass, but after this hassle he realized that he needed to buy one immediately.

Some of the machines have been placed in unsafe locations. For example, the two machines located at the entrances to the north parking lot off Wilson Avenue are behind a no-parking fire lane. When driv-ers enter the parking lot and stop in front of these machines to buy a ticket, they create a traffic jam and block the lane. Other driv-

ers entering the lot have to go around into opposing traffic.

The north parking lot is at a lower el-evation than Wilson Avenue, impeding vis-ibility for incoming drivers. A small tree at the higher elevation to the entrance of one of these driveways is an obstacle for incoming drivers, making them unable to see a driver parked in front of the parking ticket machine.

Some of the machines are broken and rusty and are lying on the ground. Others are brand new, but have never been in-

stalled and are dismantled on the ground. Some of the parking lots do not even have a parking ticket machine.

The machines that have been removed due to malfunctions or age are stored be-hind the campus police station and the ATL building. They are not stored under any protective covering and are exposed to the various weather elements.

The campus police are responsible for the installation and maintenance of the machines. Attempts to contact Campus Police for comment were unsuccessful.

Students and faculty members attended the Battle of the Books, a competition in which they voted for

the best of three books presented.Every book was summarized and shown

in its best light by the speaker.The first one presented was “The

Botany of Desire” by Michael Pollan. In this book the author describes the four

main desires humans have—sweetness, beauty, intoxication and control—and compares them to plants—respectively, apples, tulips, marijuana and potatoes.

Pollan wrote in his book how the human need for control caused people to genetically engineer their food, like potatoes, to have a certain taste, shape and color. The second book presented, “The Absolutely True Story of a Part-time Indian” by Sherman Alexie, depicts and is narrated by a young high school Native American boy.This boy is caught between his desire to leave his reservation and the social repercussions of doing so.

The book features humorous drawings of sad or humiliating situations in the boy’s life, manipulating the pathos of the story.

Alexie’s book also raises awareness of Native American communities and alcoholism.

The final book shown was “Sula” by Toni Morrison. This novel features a young black woman who fights to be independent in a town where women are expected to be at home with children. Throughout the book, themes like “sex as power” and “females in male roles” predominate the story.

“Sula” was nominated for the National Book Award.

The results of the competition will place the winning book as Chaffey’s Book of the Year, used across the curriculum as supplementary reading material.

The book is also the foundation for programs, field trips and discussion groups throughout the college year.

“Students will be reading this book in classes next year, and teachers will use it in activities,” said English instructor Leona Fisher. “The student vote usually sways the competition.”

Faculty will be voting on their favorite book until Friday, Feb. 25. The results will be tallied and announced by the end of that day.

Colleges are full of students running around trying to make something out of themselves.

For some, the transition will be fairly easy with minor obstacles along the way. Others will face stress that will have a greater impact on their physical and men-tal state.

This negative effect on students can possibly take a turn for the worse if they are not properly treated. Simply talking to them and figuring out what is wrong can make a world of difference.

Eva Rose, Faculty Success Center co-ordinator, said, “If we can just see beyond what we see in the classroom and see what

[students] are going through, then I think we can meet them at a different level and understand why they feel hopeless and im-patient and aggravated.”

On Jan. 14 a series of workshops were provided for faculty, one of them being a panel discussion on “Managing Aggres-sive Student Behavior in the Classroom.” More than 50 people attended this particu-lar workshop, although it was not manda-tory.

Informational handouts such as “Tips on Dealing with Agitated or Aggressive Students” stated, “It is…not true that all disruptive students have a psychiatric dis-order.”

Some students act out of nervousness, lack of self-esteem, being frightened, or

being new to the learning environment.Rose agreed with this statement, as she

explained that there have been students who sleep in their cars, and some that rent a couch to stay in someone’s living room because they have nowhere else to go.

The stress of not having privacy or a de-cent place to sleep can be hard on a person and make him or her lash out.

In cases like these, instructors must be able to keep their own anger in check and try to speak to the student one on one. They must be confident when dealing with the situation.

Seeking help for the student and show-ing them resources that can improve their current status will definitely make a change for the better.

“There are no easy answers,” Rose said, “but as much as we can be student orien-tated and engaging we can solve a lot of problems at a lower level.”

When instructors form an environment of trust up front, before a situation occurs, then they will be able to form a relation-ship that involves mutual respect and it will be easier for them to diffuse a difficult situation.

The workshop has received positive feedback from the teachers, and although the semester has recently just begun, in-stilling confidence and the right tools is expected to make a difference.

After all, “The teaching pedagogy [is] to create a learning climate where we cre-ate safety and help the student,” Rose said.

More than 20 students from Linda Lewis’s Photo 20, photography for publications class visited

The Breeze’s office to get information on submitting photographs to the student newspaper.

This information came straight from the source — The Breeze’s own Photo Editor, Justin Kenward. Kenward covered basics such as style, format, what can done to a photograph and other information for the photographers to use.

Kenward gave handouts and showed

the class several examples of photographs used in the paper. He also explained what a photo editor does to prepare photographs for publication.

Breeze Adviser Doug Walsh explained the importance of writing captions and the publishing process.

All this was in preparation for Photo 20’s requirement that each student has to get a photograph published either in the pa-per or on The Breeze website.

Photo 20 teaches students about re-quirements and techniques to get their pho-tographs published in papers, magazines and websites.

In honor of Black History Month, a poetry slam was held Feb. 23 in the Student Activities lounge area. African-American Literature teacher Charles Wil-

liams gave a lecture on how African-American poetry started, a poetry competition was held, and free food was served

Williams educated listeners about some of the first African-American writers and what poetry is really about. He related it to today and how it has evolved into music.

“Poetry is not you reading it over and over until you understand it. I need to understand poetry now and have it make me act now,” said Williams.

Students participated in a competition for best poem as they recited their pieces in front of the audience. Hotel Hospitality major Chaz Coggins won first place with her

poem “Dreamers.” Psychology ma-jor Reggie Cater and English major Hero Carlisle tied for second place.

“I thought about the friend that inspired the poem that died, and that’s why I got emotional,” said Carlisle.

“I wrote [the poem] after the election, after Obama won,” said Coggins.

It was an inspiring event for the diverse group of listeners, as stu-dents from every race and culture shared how Black History Month relates to their lives. Each poem was unique and told a different story.

“I put my head down and put my fist up for those who struggled,” said Cater when reciting his poem.

Each speaker captivated the audience with poems that had rhythm and purpose and demonstrated well the meaning of Black History Month.

Nearly 250 students crowded the Quad in a lively celebration of Black History Month on Feb. 24. Following student performances of poetry and gospel, a raucous crowd cheered

and danced along with the DJ, Angie V, who presided over a lively contemporary dance competition that scored three winners prizes of $100, $50 and $25.

The event coincided with an invatation from the AMan/AWoman club to students of Rancho and Lososos high schools to visit the campus. Other sponsors of the celebration included the Black Faculty and Staff Association and the ASCC.

The winners were Will Goodman, 1st place, Henry Jackson, 2nd place and Kellie Moore, 3rd place.

Going to school for some is a dif-ficult task. With kids and a job to juggle, not all believe that they can

make the time for their education. Kati Bee is one former student that can prove to oth-ers that the impossible is possible. Author, composer, and keynote speaker Kati Bee first started out her career at Chaffey.

After 15 years Bee decided she was ready to go back to school. By that time, she had two teenage boys and was work-ing as a full-time teacher’s aid for the Fon-

tana school district. Therefore, going full time was not an option for Bee. Instead she dedicated her Saturdays to school and took three classes a semester for about a year to get the equivalent of 62 units and her AA. Her goal was to reach all the requirements to become a pre-school teacher.

While taking child development class-es, Bee was told that she had a gift with music. From there she followed that and began composing and was hired to do her first music presentation for the school.

Her classes focused on her goal, and with the help from all those around her, she

was able to finish her schooling and be-come a pre-school teacher. “It was a good fit, and the atmosphere there was great there,” Bee said. “The counselors were a big help. They made it easy for me to get back into college.”

Bee used all her skills and connections to start her own franchise of music and videos that show kids that they should love to learn. Bee is now known as Mrs. Flut-terbee, a ‘modern day hero’ and has made a number of educational products for pre-school kids. Her CD’s and DVD’s allow kids to learn while they play. Bee’s goal is

to bring her products into classrooms and into music programs, giving all kids the opportunity to learn about the arts.

Her products have helped kids to learn and have introduced a different way of learning for them. Bee has made such a big impact that she has even been on national television to share her story. “It’s never too late to go back to school,” Bee said. “The biggest key is balance.” Her schedule now consists of doing events where educators and directors can hear about her teaching mechanisms.

Bee has stayed in close contact with the Alumni Association and being involved on campus. In December of last year, Bee performed in a concert on campus. She continues to go to school and wants to get her Master’s in psychology to make a more powerful impact. “It is an exciting jour-ney,” Bee said. “We go all over the place.”

Bee’s experience shows the value of education. “Sometimes you just have to have the degree,” Bee said. Regardless of how much time students put in at school, if they have the motivation, their hard work will pay off.

On Feb. 22, a panel of the board members with 16 people in the audience gathered in CAA 211 to

discuss careers in photography.The event was hosted and moderated

by Ardon Alger. The panel consisted of professional photographers who work in various areas. Panel members were Tom McGovern, who has a book out called “Bad Boys, Bad Girls,” and Tom Alleman, a photographer who works freelance and is known for well-lit portraits. Andi Campognone has worked as a curator and currently has a show at the Metro Art Gallery in Pomona. Ryan Beck is a local and well-known commercial photographer who does work for the Target store chain among his clients.

All spoke about working various jobs, their education and how they came to love photography and the process of making an image.

McGovern talked about the importance of having a well-rounded education including taking math classes and being prepared for opportunities to come. “Chance favors the prepared mind,” McGovern said.

The Chaffey Art Organization is open to all students, faculty and staff. Its mission is to promote the arts.

Another event is scheduled for March 29, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in CAA 211 called “Artists and Their Day-jobs.”

JOSHUA HICKEN

A small number of ethically curious students (and a few faculty mem-bers) attended a forum discussion

on cheating last Wednesday, Feb. 16. The forum, “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Cheating but Were Afraid to Ask,” was hosted by the Ethics Across the Curriculum Committee.

The few students who attended may have been misled by the title’s reference to a racy Woody Allen movie, since the forum actually addressed life’s less pleasurable forms of cheating, such as test-copying and plagiarism. The possibility that the Com-mittee had not obtained permission to para-phrase Woody Allen’s movie title for their forum was not discussed.

Instead, philosophy professor Ryan Fal-cioni led three panelists in discussing key aspects of academic cheating: its consti-tution, the ethical issues it raises, and the consequences its practitioners face.

To open the discussion, philosophy pro-fessor Barbara King invited the scant at-tendees to share what they thought about cheating. “Most of us consider ourselves honest… but what are the parameters of cheating?” King asked.

King then asked a more concrete series of questions about cheating: Is a student who knowingly allows someone to copy his or her work guilty of cheating? Does the temporary benefit of cheating outweigh long-term incompetence? Why do we hesi-tate to turn cheaters in?

Ultimately King posited that students who are complicit in cheating are also guilty and should take some action to pre-vent others from using their work. The few students who responded to King’s ques-tions rewarded her with lukewarm agree-ment. “I don’t wanna say yeah but yeah,” said one student.

With common guilt established, Theresa Hull, Dean of Health Sciences and Student Discipline, then took the floor to burden her audience with the gravity of cheating.

Hull reminded students of the poten-tially fatal danger of cheating (or allow-ing cheating) within high-risk fields such as health science. “If those students allow each other to cheat…[and] you go in to get a prescription filled and they get the cal-culations incorrect, you have the incorrect dosage.”

“What are the procedures for determin-ing guilt?” asked one student. Hull re-sponded by outlining the procedures that

she and instructors follow in dealing with students who cheat, to no further spoken interest.

In a second attempt to evoke students’ opinions on cheating, English professor Cathy Decker circulated a quiz about what constitutes plagiarism/cheating.

Decker’s handout could possibly have elicited interesting responses, but rather than ask students to take the quiz, Decker spent most of her time extolling turnitin.com — a website that instructors can use to analyze student work for instances of plagiarism. Presumably this was meant to expose the futility of cheating to the audi-ence.

In one of the few moments of student-faculty interaction, Decker did clarify for one student that it is considered cheating to reuse your own work. “Plagiarizing old work [is] trying to get out of doing work… it’s cheating and it doesn’t count,” said Decker.

Decker concluded the forum simply. “It’s a lifetime commitment not to be a cheater,” she said.

For a topic that faculty consider so im-portant, it’s unfortunate that the turnout to “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Cheating…” was miniscule, and the response mild.

The lukewarm reception is also not sur-prising. Even as the forum began, discus-sion leader Falcioni said, “It’s an ethical issue but it’s not one that’s hotly-debated. It’s like debating child abuse or some-thing… there’s not a pro-cheating lobby.”

While there probably isn’t a lobby to defend plagiarism, it is likely several sup-porters could be found to discuss the mer-its of other varieties of cheating. A forum that compared and contrasted sexual affairs with academic cheating could have raised far more attention.

The next time the Ethics Across the Curriculum committee wants to promote an event, it shouldn’t rule out the risqué – sex sells at least as well as prefab essays, and probably for a lower price than Woody Allen’s royalties.

It is finally here! Marvel vs. Capcom 3 hit the shelves Feb. 15. This game has been much anticipated since

the previous title became an arcade phenomenon. This new installment happily did not disappoint.

The setup is very similar to the previous title, where you pick three characters from a mixture of Marvel and Capcom characters to fight against another three.

The controls are smooth and a little simpler than before since there are only three attacks (light, medium and hard), which is actually a better mechanic for

the game. The simple controls make special attacks a little easier, so people jumping in for the first time can still have a chance to win. The only downside to this mechanic is that it allows people to fight cheaply.

The graphics are amazing, and everything flows smoothly. The art style is a cross between cartoon and modern comic book, which makes the art seem natural for whatever character you choose.

The new characters are definitely an

improvement. If you have ever had a dream that Deadpool was kicking Ryu’s ass with Chris Redfeild providing backup, your dream is now a reality.

The single-player mode is a little short but is well worth it when Galactus shows up. Let’s be fair; fighting games are made

mainly for multiplayer. Even if you cannot get your friends

over, there is online play which will take some time to get sick of.

Sometimes people buy a used copy of a fighting game so they can return it if they do not like it, but there is

a very slim chance that any video gamers will be disappointed by this game.

Missed foul calls by the referees ended up not being a problem as the women’s basketball team

was able to bring home the victory against Los Angeles Pierce College in what turned out to be a great start to the playoffs on Feb. 23.

The first half of the game ended with the Lady Panthers up 43-33. 6’1” sopho-more Arione Nabors led the way as she ended the game with 20 points and eight rebounds.

Stephanie Scott added 14 points of her own while Rosalind Barnes threw in 17. Physical contact was everywhere in this game, and there were many instances when fouls could have been called and free throws could have been made.

“That’s playoff basketball,” Coach Gary Plunkett said. “We just had to keep doing what we were doing and stay the course.”

Narbors displayed her talent throughout the game but fouled out toward the end

of the second half. This proved a difficult blow to Chaffey. Pierce outscored Chaffey 43-38 in the second half and created a couple tense moments for Plunkett and his team as the game was tied several times.

“It was a poor call, and honestly the of-ficial admitted to me that he made a mis-take,” Plunkett said about Nabors fouling out. “That could have cost us, but we still had a lead and we were still able to hang on.”

Four out of the five Chaffey starters were in double digits as the ladies got their first win in the Southern California Play-offs.

Nabors, Barnes, and freshman guard Tianna Jones were each named to the 2011 All-Foothill Conference Team. The Lady Panthers, 19-11, are ranked No.16 in Southern California while Pierce, 18-11, who is now eliminated from contention, came in to this contest one spot below at No. 17.

Editors Note: The Lady Panthers played the No. 1 seeded Fullerton College on Feb. 26.

The men’s basketball team was able to defeat Barstow on Feb. 19, 68-60, and ran away with the Foothill

Conference title, their first since 2006. Sophomore Deondre Brodie led the

Panthers with 12 points while Naz Rich-ardson followed closely behind with 11 points. This is the second time this season that the Panthers have defeated the Bar-stow Vikings. Both games ended up devel-oping into hard fought battles between two great talented teams.

The men were not the only ones to take home honors, as head Coach Jeff Klein was named the 2011 Men’s Basketball Foothill

Conference Coach of The Year. Over the last 10 years under Klein, Chaffey has been the most winning program in the Foothill Conference, averaging 24 victories a sea-son. Over that span of time, Klein has compiled a record of 230-85 and is making his ninth appearance in the state champion-ship.

The men finished with a dominant 12-2 record in conference play, and a 19-7 re-cord overall. Mo Aldaba, Deondre Brodie, Erick Ellis, Donte Godlock, Ryan Jeffer-son and Steffon Neal were all named to the 2010-11 All-Foothill Conference team.

Editors Note: The men played Los An-geles Trade Tech on Feb. 25 in the first round of the playoffs.

At 3 o’clock the Panther basketball team began its practice with a film session assessing each player’s

performance as well as the upcoming opponent. After a half an hour the play-ers hit the court with Captains DeOndre Brodie, Steffon Neal, and Donté Godlock leading the team.

In what may have been one of the toughest seasons, as they began with a record of 1-4, the captains led their team to an impressive 12-2 season record in the Foothill Conference division and have qualified for the playoffs.

“These players have worked their way up, “ Head Coach Jeff Klein said about his three captains. “They have a great friendship and work really well together and have earned the respect of their team-mates.”

Having played on the same travel bas-ketball team, Brodie, Neal and Godlock have a true dedication to the basketball game and look to further their athletic careers. Brodie, a correctional science major, plays the point guard position. He played 10 years of basketball and played all four years at A.B. Miller High School in Fontana alongside fellow captain Neal. Brodie plans to play basketball at the next

level and is currently being recruited by schools in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Conference such as South Western University.

“I would like to go all the way and play in Germany,” Brodie said. “I want it to be my job.”

Much like Brodie, fellow teammate forward Neal also played at A.B. Miller High. Neal is a kinesiology major and hopes to play in a division 1 school. He is currently being recruited by universities such as Clark University, an NAIA school.

“I would love to play in the NBA someday,” Neal said. “But I would like to finish my degree in kinesiology first.”

Godlock, a sophomore shooting guard, is finishing his general education and is planning to transfer to a four-year univer-sity. He plans to stay in California to be with his son Damien who is eight months old.

“I would like to play at the next level,” Godlock said. “I’m just weighing my options since I have a kid and I would like to stay in California, but no schools have made an offer.”

These three players are taking the necessary steps to succeed in the game of basketball. The captains will never be satisfied until they can call themselves champions.
