Cigarette smokers at CSULB might soon be holding onto their butts.

During Friday’s Convocation speech at the Carpenter Center, Cal-ifornia State University, Long Beach President Jane Conoley announced plans to eliminate smoking on cam-pus by August 2016.

As part of the plan to ban smoke and tobacco, Conoley also announced

a new campaign: Breathe. This project will try to educate smokers about the health risks associated with tobacco.

The campaign will also include training for people to manage their lifestyle without smoking.

“Part of smoking really is the envi-ronment,” Conoley said. “You know, ‘whenever I have a cup of coffee I do this...’ [We’ll] look at those kind of triggering environments and come up with a more positive behavior.”

Another part of the Breathe cam-paign includes the removal of the ashtrays from around campus and putting up signs encouraging people to quit, Conoley said.

Though smoking will be banned on campus next year, Conoley said that a grace period of one to three years will be given before students begin getting citations for breaking the ban.

The president is still finalizing

the details of the Breathe campaign; CSULB’s executive director of news Michael Uhlenkamp said it will be re-leased soon.

The move to a smoke-free campus

began last year with the formation of a smoking task force that researched the

Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign has been gathering a sig-nificant and unexpected amount of support from citizens over the past few months.

Peacefully resolving confronta-tions with the Black Lives Matter movement after a near-disaster at a rally on Aug. 8 in Seattle has put Sanders in position for a primary win. This comes at a time when Hillary Clinton’s campaign is under

fire for her lack of transparency. The missteps in Clinton’s campaign and Sanders’ new ideologies, has created a perfect storm.

The BLM movement — creat-ed after the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown last year — recently took the initiative to speak with Sanders at one of his speeches in the least subtle approach. During the event in Seattle, Sanders was scheduled to speak to an audience at a city park, when two members of the BLM movement grabbed the microphone and began stating their cause.

The members began demanding that the audience to hold Sanders “accountable” for not putting in enough effort to address the loom-ing issues of police brutality and ra-cial inequality, the primary focuses of the organization. They were met with boos and requests from the crowd for police to arrest them.

Those actions were a blessing in disguise for Sanders. The confron-tation exposed a kink in Sanders’ populist campaign. As appealing as his policies might sound to the average hard-working American, racial equality has not been at the forefront of his campaign.

Jose Negrete for fYf fest

Kanye West steamed up the the first night of FYF Fest on Saturday night at the L.A. Memorial Sports Arena.

Eleven years ago, when FYF Fest start-ed out as a small hardcore and punk festival in Echo Park, with a bill full of

thrashy guttural performers such as Wires on Fire and The Mean Reds, nobody would have ever guessed F*ck Yeah Fest would one day be headlined by a commercially successful rap su-perstar.

This year, after Saturday night headliner and alternative hip-hop performer Frank Ocean dropped out—cancelling due to scheduling con-flicts, according to a statement released by his publicist—Kanye West was brought in to plug the hole.

When the announcement was made, the reac-tion on social media was mostly negative, rang-ing from disgust and immediate ticket hawking to disappointment over the festival’s direction.

It seems FYF Fest is either having an identi-ty crisis or trying to diversify its range of per-formers. Looking back at previous line-ups, the turning point between a more underground sce-nester-geared line-up and one that tilts toward mainstream and electronic acts was 2011—when Goldenvoice, the promoters behind Coachella and Stagecoach, began co-producing the FYF Fest.

This year the genre boundaries have been pushed even further. With such an eclectic array of performers, FYF Fest risks becoming diluted and losing its identity. On the other hand, by of-

Identity crisis or not, FYF Fest still had attendees grooving their funky little hearts out.

MDissatisfied with the 23 presidential

candidates you’ve been hearing about? Don’t worry -- you’ve got at least 650 more to choose from, including a few dozen Californians.

As of Friday, 673 people across the nation had filed statements of candi-dacy with the Federal Election Com-mission.

Well, “people” might be an exag-geration. The list includes at least two cats and one dog, as well as some dodgy characters such as Buddy the Elf of North Pole, Alaska (of course); His Majesty Satan Lord of Underworld Prince of Darkness of College Station, Texas (of course); and Sydneys Volup-tuous Buttocks of Buffalo, New York (a town you probably thought was mostly about wings).

All of the unknowns might be feel-ing better about their chances now that one of their own has broken through into the headlines. Deez Nuts, of Wall-

ingford, Iowa, managed to get his name included in some recent Public Policy Polling surveys -- and turned out to have 9 percent support in North Caro-lina, 8 percent in Minnesota and 7 per-cent in Iowa.

Of course, Deez Nuts doesn’t really exist -- he’s actually 15-year-old Brady Olson. But Google reported Friday that search interest in “Deez Nuts” had sur-passed interest in “Hillary Clinton.” So, of course, Brady is now being inter-viewed by reporters from around the world.

Although the U.S. Constitution deems him too young to serve, he’ll have one heck of a “what I did this sum-mer” story when he returns to high school as a sophomore this week. (Also, remember to watch for “Olson 2036.”)

Article II of the Constitution re-quires presidents to be at least 35 and natural born citizens. The canine lobby might point out that a 35-year-old dog

would be only about 5 years old in hu-man years. But because words in Article II like “person” and “citizen” are gen-erally understood to mean “human,” that’s bad news for candidate Bailey D. Dog of Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

In case you’re wondering: The FEC’s form requires individuals to list their names, addresses and party affiliations, but not their birth dates or species. And there’s no filing fee -- and obviously no screening process. So the list continues to grow.

In California, it’s no laughing matter for some of the unknowns.

Jerry Leon Carroll, of Stockton, has declared his candidacy in every presi-dential election since 1996, as has His Royal Majesty Caesar Saint Augustine De Buonaparte of Malibu.

“I’m more qualified than those peo-ple nowadays running,” said Dr. James Chen, 58, of Hillsborough. “I’ve been contemplating. I’ve been studying. I’ve

been watching. I’ve been formulating the policies for decades.”

The Taiwan-born physician, who is running as a Democrat, said “this country has to resume its leadership,” and the major candidates “have no basic understanding about lots of phi-losophies and histories and humanities. They are just totally ignorant of funda-mental knowledge.”

Asked if any of the major candidates appeal to him, Chen allowed that “I think Bernie Sanders can be my vice president,” though “I’m much broader in terms of understanding about the whole world.”

“My being elected would be proof that this country is for working Ameri-cans. Otherwise it’s bull -- and this country is for the oligarchs, the super rich or the career politicians,” said Chen, who -- however earnest -- is in-eligible for the presidency because he’s a naturalized American.

Philip Bralich, 63, of Monterey, con-tends that of the 650 “nontraditional” candidates, he’s “the most electable.” A linguist who used to teach at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey but now makes a living as a writer, Bralich said he’s a “very liberal” independent who is triangulating by wooing three key con-stituencies: the youth vote, the women’s vote and “the redneck biker vote.”

“I’m running on a tax-the-rich plat-form -- not only tax-the-rich but tax-the-rich punitively ... until they sit up straight, fold their hands on the table and give the money back,” he said.

“I have no money. I’m doing all this by social media,” he acknowledged, although he’s hoping that winning his $250 million software patent lawsuit could eventually bankroll the cam-paign “just like Donald Trump -- only a little bit poorer.”—Josh Richman, The Oakland Tribune

Nearly 700 presidential candidates include dozens from California

practices of other campuses that have banned smoking.

The announcement of Breathe was met with loud applause during the president’s speech. But it was not the only remark that got the crowd ex-cited.

Perhaps the biggest applause came from a remark Praveen Soni, chair of the Academic Senate, made about the parking challenges on campus.

The other topic that nearly every speaker ad-dressed was the ongoing salary negotiations be-tween the California State University system and the California Faculty Association.

“Our university has the challenge of mending the fractured faculty morale, and rewarding the daily professionalism and dedication of the great faculty and staff of the institution by providing re-spectable salary increase for all faculty and staff,” Soni said. “As well as substantially reducing or eliminating the gross inequities that exist in the salaries in all ranks, in all colleges.”

Conoley said during her speech that although there have been improvements in the state budget

for the university, CSULB is still $65 million below 2007 state funding levels.

“I have asked the vice presidents to work with leadership in each of their divisions to develop strategies for addressing faculty and staff compen-sation challenges,” Conoley said. “While working hard to match the market in total compensation for every one of our employees and meeting our collective bargaining obligations.”

She added that she believes the current funding model for rewarding the service of the faculty is not sustainable.

The focus for everyone was on the future of CSULB. Interim provost David Dowell spoke about a number of long-term goals for the univer-sity including: creation of a new student center, ex-panding digital instruction for students, a greater focus on graduate programs including a new grad-uate center and greater expansion of tenure-track hiring.

“We are poised to continue our evolution as an urban land grant university,” Conoley said. “One that parlays local action into global recognition, creates budget models that buffer against volatile state budgets and political swings, values student learning and creates and evaluates innovative [methods] to ensure it and takes responsibility for the economic development of its region. Tall order.”

Letter from the EditorUnless you are really into Roman numerals, you may have missed that the volume num-ber on the front page of the Daily 49er was incorrect last year. It’s an easy thing to miss.

Turns out, it’s really easy. In fact, it’s so easy that the Daily 49er has neglected to change it for quite some time. Seven years to be exact.

For those of you keeping score at home, while the volume number read LIX last year (and the one before that, and the one before that), it is actually supposed to change with

every new school year. So don’t be alarmed that the volume number now reads LXVII, you didn’t happen to

miss seven years of college. We did. Our bad.

Mac DeMarco pulls as many heart-strings as he bends guitar strings in his newest album “Other One,” released on Aug. 7.

While his previous efforts have touched on coming-to-age themes, this album explores the myriad of emotions that accompany love. From what it’s like to be in love to what it’s like to lose someone you love, Demarco’s lover-boy self is revealed in this latest release.

His genre of music has been dubbed “slacker rock” because most of his tunes often vibe like classic ‘70s soft rock that sways ever so slowly and gently. The

tracks on this album follow that same vein. They have a nostalgic lo-fi quality that results in a dream pop sound—they are the tunes born from memory’s echo chamber.

DeMarco’s has ascended from play-ing the smallest stage at FYF Fest in 2013 to playing the main stage at this year’s Outside Lands. So what exactly is the key to his success?

The biggest factor was likely his breakthrough album “Salad Days,” which really allowed him to showcase his lyrical talents, and “Other One” is no exception to his poetic sensitivity. Though only 25 years old, DeMarco exudes the type of unpretentious lived wisdom of a much older soul.

What isn’t cliché anymore when singing about love? The penultimate track “Without Me” proves that even cliché sentiments can still be fodder for great music. On the track, Demarco sings, “Will she love me again tomor-row / I don’t know, I hope so / That’s fine, fine by me / As long as she is happy, happy.”

Though some may call these words simplistic or even maudlin, the effect he produces by repeating “Without Me” multiple times over a chiming guitar riff is devastating. The beauty of DeMarco is that he can make you feel so much pain with such simple phrases.

If you are already a fan of his music you will without a doubt enjoy this al-bum as it’s the same old Mac from the previous albums you have grown to love.

Not much has really changed about DeMarco’s sound since he first started, in fact by now it seems like Demarco has developed a formula for crafting al-bums. He picks a theme, sticks with it, writes simple songs saturated in more emotion than the previous album and makes sure the record clocks in at less than 35 minutes.

Beneath the simplicity, his music has the emotive force to transport you to the moments in life in which you are most vulnerable, because in the end, what is the point of art other than to make you feel?

fering mainstream acts alongside stuff closer to its punk and alter-native roots like Metz and Joyce Manor, FYF Fest hits attendees with music outside their purview.

A testament to the diversity this year was that on one end of the festival shoegaze pioneers Je-sus and Mary Chain were blast-ing their serrated noise rock, while a five minute walk away, Kanye West was mish-mashing Nina Simone’s mournful cover of Strange Fruit with plaintive, au-totuned lyrics about a culture of hedonism and superficiality.

Improvements to the festival this year were a more easily navi-gable stage layout and sets that went later into the night. The long lines of last year were addressed, and entering the festival was a breeze.

Some highlights of the night included Kanye West cramming in ten hit songs in the last ten minutes of his set. He opened the spitfire barrage with “FiveFour-Seconds” and was joined on stage by Rhianna. Bloc Party and Mary and Jesus Chain had healthy mosh pits going and hip-hop duo Run The Jewels shook a the fes-tival grounds with their fat, fero-cious beats.

FYF Fest continued Sunday at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and Exposition Park with night-two headliner Morrissey.

Yet according to Pew Re-search, in 2012 over 90 percent of African Americans who voted, voted Democratic in the general election, and Sanders is going to need to win them over to beat Clinton.

Since the incident took place, Sanders has made it a prior-ity to address the inequalities among African Americans in the U.S. The night following the BLM stage rush, Sanders made it clear that his focus was

also on racial inequality by stating, “On criminal justice and reform and the need to fight racism there is no other candidate for president who

will fight harder than me.” After the confrontation in

Seattle, Sanders appointed Symone Sanders as the national press secretary for his presiden-tial campaign. Symone, who has no relation to Bernie Sanders, serves as the national youth chair for the non-profit orga-nization Coalition on Juvenile Justice.

The new press secretary has already made an impact

on Sanders’ campaign, stating that Bernie is now pushing the idea that “racial inequality and economic inequality are paral-lel issues.” She also elaborated on why BLM felt that he was not addressing the issues of African Americans.

“I [told him,] you know, eco-nomic equality is an issue, it’s something we need to address,” she told The Huffington Post. “But for some people it doesn’t matter how much money you make, it doesn’t matter where you went to school, it doesn’t matter what your parents do... None of that matters.”

The term “going postal” was coined in 1986 when Patrick Sherrill, 44, walked into the post office where he was

employed and opened fire on his coworkers. Sherrill murdered 14 employees before turning the gun on himself. Though this was the first time this appalling behavior was labeled, it was not the last time it was exhibited.

This week, Regal Entertainment group announced a change in its security policy. According to the company’s website, listed under “admittance procedures,” “backpacks and bags of any kind are subject to inspection prior to admission.” The company also stated, “we acknowl-edge that this procedure can cause some inconvenience [...] but hope these are minor in comparison to increased safety.”

But checking bags is not the solu-tion to this countries’ mass shooting epidemic. If someone is committed to ending the lives of innocents, a f lashlight and light groping of a bag is not going to stop them.

This change in policy is most likely a direct response to multiple

mass shootings that occurred in movie theaters over the past five years. Though the most deadly attack occurred at a Century Theatre in Colorado, Regal theaters in Tennes-see and Louisiana were both attacked by different individuals this summer.

Mass shootings have become so frequent they are almost as com-monly reported on the news as the weather. A FBI study from 2000 to 2013 noted a drastic rise in these types of shootings, from an average of 6.4 in the first seven years, to an average of 16.4 over the last seven.

The story is usually the same. Though the location often changes, the coverage is always heart break-ing. But that outrage fades, and the

country’s policies rarely change. It’s clear that a policy change is

necessary, but who needs to be making the changes? Regal’s decision to search bags upon entry is a step in the right direction, but where does it get us?

Looking at a list of mass shoot-ing rampages complied by The L.A.

Times, it is clear that attacks are not exclusive to any one location. In 1984, 21 people were slaughtered in a McDonald’s by an unemployed security guard. On April 20, 1999, two students entered Columbine High School and massacred 13 people, including students and a staff member. In 2007, a Virginia Tech senior gunned down 32 people on the campus. The list is endless.

What does this mean for our safety? Should bags and backpacks be searched everywhere? When you board a train, walk into an office, or go to drop a letter in the mail? Or should we just accept these inci-dences as a new part of the human condition?

With the amount of shootings that have occurred at educational institu-tions how can such increased secu-rity measures be enforced? Should CSULB install metal detectors over every doorframe? Should all bags and purses be checked before someone enters the campus? With over 30,000 students enrolled this is an impos-sible feat.

The solution to this intricate problem lies not in the removal of firearms but placing more of an emphasis on mental health treatment in America.

If psychological support were more accessible to those in need we could prevent people from “going postal” and save countless lives.

Overtime loss mars big weekend for LBSU

After controlling Auburn for nearly the entire game, the LBSU women’s soccer team fell 1-0 in the second over-time period of Sunday’s game at George Allen Field.

The 49ers (1-1-0), coming off of a surprising win over No. 4 UCLA on Friday, out-shot the Tigers (2-0-0) 19-12 and controlled possession over long stretches of the game. Despite the loss, head coach Mauricio Ingrassia said he loved his team’s performance and was satisfied with the way they went toe-to-toe with the higher ranked Auburn.

“I’m just as proud of them for their effort today than I was on Friday [after the win against UCLA],” Ingrassia said.

The only goal of the game came in the 102nd minute of play after an Auburn player made a run on the right side and crossed a ball that was deflected up and into LBSU goalkeeper Ashton McKe-own’s hands. McKeown somehow lost the ball and Tigers’ midfielder Brook

Ramsier was in the right place at the right time to tap in the game winner.

“I honestly couldn’t tell you ex-actly what happened,” McKeown said. “When I’m in a play I kind of just blank, I kind of black out. I just know that’s something I’m not going to do again.”

That mistake cost LBSU the game, but it didn’t take away from the fact that the 49ers were far superior than Auburn for most of the game.

The Tigers pressured the 49ers high in the first 30 minutes of the game, forc-ing the defenders into making mistakes in the buildup. Senior Val Margerum called the back line a little “frantic” to start the game, but they were able to settle down and shut out Auburn for 101 minutes.

The 49ers took control of the game around the 30-minute mark and didn’t let go for a very long time. LBSU had several chances to put the ball in the net, but Tigers’ goalie Sarah Le Beau was there every time the 49ers were on target.

LBSU’s best chance to score came in the 73rd minute when the 49ers’ most menacing player of the game, mid-fielder Mimi Rangel, curled a shot from outside the box that forced Le Beau to make a superb save. Rangel had 4 shots on goal in the game.

In overtime, the first threat to score came in the 95th minute when forward Casie Rasmier broke away and missed

the goal by several feet in a one-on-one showdown with McKeown. However, it didn’t matter in the end, because seven minutes later her sister would score the match winner on an error by McKe-own.

The 49ers had all the confidence to beat the Tigers after senior forward Vania Robles scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory against the No. 4 Bru-ins on Friday. The goal came in the 67th

minute after sophomore striker Ashley Gonzalez made an incredible run on the left side and hit a low cross through a defender’s legs to Robles.

The win marked the first time the 49ers were able to beat UCLA since 1983. On Sunday, LBSU failed to build its historic night into a historic week-end with the tough loss to Auburn.

Freshman fullback Sarah Maher made her first official appearance for

the 49ers and impressed at the left back and center back positions. Ingrassia praised her flexibility and ability to pro-vide offense.

“She did very well,” Ingrassia said. “She gave us that attacking option, she went in at center back and was looking good and then she went back outside and did well.”

LBSU’s next game is at home against Iowa State on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Team USA’s Matt Anderson spikes the ball past Vuiatci Renan in Sunday’s match against Brazil at the Walter Pyramid. Brazil won the match 3 sets to 2.

Carnivale at the Pyramid dunks team USA

It was a battle of the crowds dur-ing the 2015 United States of Amer-ica Volleyball Cup men’s match as Brazil took down the USA in five sets Sunday in the Walter Pyramid at Long Beach State.

Proud supporters from both countries donned their team’s col-ors and draped their bodies in their respective national flags. Brazilian fanatics stomped their feet as the match point fell to the ground, seal-ing the 3-2 victory.

Team USA jumped out to an early lead taking the first set be-fore Brazil stormed back to win the next two in unforgettable fashion.

A chant war erupted between the two countries’ crowds in the third set in what seemed like a never-ending amount of set points. At set point eight for Brazil, the team was able to put it away, 36-34, as Matt Anderson’s free ball over the net sailed out of bounds.

The Pyramid shook as USA won set four, 25-20, taking the match to the fifth and decisive set.

The USA crowd gathered up its last bit of energy in the fifth set to try and lift the team to victory, but the Brazilians fans were louder, and their team took the final set 15-13.

LBSU alumni David Lee kept his

spirits high after the loss. “It’s awesome to play in the Pyra-

mid again, it’s cool to see family and friends, and to come back to Long Beach,” Lee said. “We’ve done an event here for the last three years and that’s really special for me and the other 49ers to come back here and play where we went to univer-sity.”

Lee said that he hopes in the fu-ture, Hawaii will be a match loca-tion to knock out a game and some vacation time.

“Traditionally we’ve been in the mid-west and now we’ve been try-ing to make a push out to the West coast,” Lee said.

Team USA continues the USAV Cup against Brazil Tuesday, Aug. 25, at the University of San Diego at 7 p.m.

Brazil defeated the U.S. in five sets Sunday night.

VOLLEYBALL

New school versus old school

The Beach returned to the court and debuted its new lineup of transfers and freshmen in an exhibition game against former Long Beach State women’s vol-leyball players Saturday night at the Walter Pyramid.

For assistant coach and class of 2005 alumnae Erika Dilliard, Saturday night was a good opportunity for the new 49ers roster to iron the wrinkles out.

“I love the alumnae game because it’s a great opportunity for these kids to go through a game situation and get some of those nerves out before open-ing weekend,” Dilliard said.

LBSU welcomed back more than a dozen former players to The Beach for the alumnae match. For some of these ex-players, it was a trip back to the glory days.

“Coming back in the Pyramid; it’s been awhile and it’s awesome,” said Ashley Lee, class of 2011. “To play with old teammates and players I’ve never played with but who are Long Beach alumnae, that was a great experience.”

Overall, the current 49ers showed up with an almost entirely new ros-ter compared to last year, featuring 11 freshman players. However, LBSU does return the reigning Big West Player of the Year, senior setter Jenelle Hudson, and the reigning conference Freshman of the Year, sophomore middle blocker Ashley Murray.

“I felt like we had a lot of good chem-istry for a new team and I feel like it’s going to grow,” Murray said. “I defi-nitely feel like if everyone keeps work-ing and keep listening to Brian we can definitely be better than last year.”

The current 49ers took the first set, winning 25–16. The alumnae won the second set 26-24 after Hudson’s dunk at-tempt failed because she jumped into the net. But the current 49ers finally won the third set 25-17 to take the match.

LBSU will start the regular season with a three game home stand starting on Friday and ending on Sunday. The 49ers will welcome Alabama, Duke and Saint Mary’s to the Walter Pyramid.
