THESE WERE THE WORDS TERRY PETTIT’S DAUGHTER WROTE HIM DURING YESTERDAY’S SHOOTING IN SAN BERNARDINO. 14 DEAD and 17 INJURED IN THE DEADLIEST U.S. SHOOTING SINCE SANDY HOOK. MORE INFORMATION ON PAGE 3.

As Janay Watts studied in the Nugget last year, she noticed none of the televisions were tuned in to coverage on the indictment of O� cer Darren Wilson, who killed unarmed black man Michael Brown.

Despite her deep sense of fear that Wilson would not be indicted, she held on to hope that maybe the system would deliver a due measure of justice.

When the news hit of Wilson’s non-indictment, her fears were con� rmed, but nobody else in the room seemed to take notice.

“Looking around the Nugget everyone was happy and jolly just going about their lives,” said Watts. “I remember thinking, ‘Why is nobody else in this room so upset? So concerned?’ I had never felt that heavy, and I didn’t un-derstand how we are expected to be students and carry on like life is normal.”

� e next day she reached out to join a Black Lives Mat-ter chapter and actively made activism a part of who she was.

According to its website, BLM is a chapter-based black-led national organization founded by Alicia Garza, Par-tisse Cullors and Opal Tometi in 2012. It was created in response to the acquittal of self-proclaimed neighbor-hood watchman George Zimmerman, who fatally shot unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Given the organization’s pro-black stance, BLM has garnered a lot of attention for its organizational structure and tactics. Speci� cally, the fact that white allies are not

permitted to directly participate in the organization. “Being a black-led movement is intentional because

in every movement that we examined or seen in the past other people have tried to co-opt and take over,” said Watts. “Even if you’re an ally that gets it, there is no way to speak for someone who is black if you are not black- you can advocate, ask questions but you cannot live that same experience.”

According to Melina Abdullah, Los Angeles chapter leader and chair of Pan-African studies at Cal State Uni-versity, Los Angeles, one of the main tactics employed is non-violent direct action through disruption of white spaces.

White spaces are settings that are overwhelmingly white and considered to be informally “o� limits” for black people, according to “White Space” by Elijah An-derson, a Yale University sociologist and director of the Urban Ethnography Project.

Despite the restricted nature of white spaces, blacks are required to navigate the white space as a condition of their existence, wrote Anderson.

“As long as our community continues to live under a state of occupation, rage cannot be con� ned to the black community,” said Abdullah.

� ough tactics are non-violent, many have associat-ed anger and violence with the movement. Anger that is understandable and rightfully placed, said James Sauce-da, race expert and director of the CSULB Multicultural Center.

“What I think a challenge for a movement like the Black Lives Matter Movement is, is to restore a kind of moral philosophy, because what we are seeing is just an-gry group against angry group and that doesn’t change anything,” Sauceda said.

“� e non-violence shows you who the real perpetrator is, there’s the brute, but if you can’t di� erentiate who’s the brute because they are both doing the same thing then that’s not civil disobedience, that is not a higher level that we are held to.”

� e Associated Students, Inc. Senate discussed the Resolution to Support Fair Wage for Faculty in the CSU Sys-tem and passed it in its second reading a� er adding some revisions and notes to it Wednesday.

� e Senate added that they support fair wages for all sta� at CSULB. � ey also added wording to clarify that the money for the fac-ulty raises should come from the state budget and surplus money. � e resolu-tion also states that ASI feels that fac-ulty members are underpaid, and they deserve an increase that correlates with in� ation.

“It’s not really a resolution to support 2 percent or 5 percent, this is just a res-olution just to support our faculty in the California State University system,” ASI vice president Miriam Hernandez said.

In the resolution for “issues to con-sider for CSULB policy 99-24,” or the Monday, Wednesday, Friday class pro-posal, the Senate further discussed the implications of the policy on the di� er-ent colleges and programs on campus.

� e College of the Arts has been particularly vocal about the policy for fear that the rehearsal spaces and classrooms they utilize on Fridays will be occupied for other classes. Dhushy Sathianathan, interim vice president of Academic Planning, has said in a previous interview with the Daily 49er that the administration would not take space already being utilized, even if it were not technical-ly being used for classes. Despite this,

COTA is still concerned.“We are worried because you’re not

going to take our rooms, you’re going to take our students, so we still don’t have a rehearsal because you’ll be taking out of our rehearsals to attend classes on upper campus on Fridays,” faculty rep-resentative Je� Jarvis said.

Other senators brought up that they and many students do their required hours for their respective colleges and research programs on campus on Fri-days. � ey also said that they have still not been given su� cient information from the administration as to how this policy will be implemented.

“� is is the least transparent propos-al I have ever seen in my life, it’s kind of like, ‘Just trust us, we’ll � gure it out and you’ll adjust, don’t worry about it,’” executive director of ASI Richard Haller said.

Part of the problem lies in the Chan-cellor’s O� ce, which has evaluated that CSULB has su� cient space to ac-commodate the in� ux of students the school is receiving, so they will not give CSULB any more funds for new build-ings. Sen. Devin Ablard suggested that the Senate oppose the way the Chancel-lor’s O� ce measures space.

� e provost search is bringing the � rst student forum to be involved in an administrative search, student rep-resentative Jordan Ares said. A provost is a Senior Vice President of Academic A� airs, and they oversee curriculum, instruction and research. � e � rst fo-

rum will be � urs-day from 3:45-4:45, according to a cam-pus-wide email.

� ere will be con-struction this winter on the � � h � oor of the library to add more study spaces and outlets, Hernan-dez said.

� e resolution to support the licensing of athletic trainers

in California passed its second and � -nal reading. A� er some revisions were made, the Senate moved to make this the � nal reading rather than wait until next semester to have a third reading.

Haller reported that Associated Stu-dents Fund is “in the black” for their operating budget and expenditure. He also reported that the ASI and USU stock portfolios are recovering some of their losses from earlier this year. In October and November, ASI port-folios gained a combined $43,391 and the USU portfolios gained a combined $71,929, Haller said.

� e Royal Bank of Canada recently purchased Citi National Bank, which currently manages the investments for ASI, and because most of the peo-ple who were managing ASI’s portfolio have moved to other companies as a re-sult, ASI is going out to ask for propos-als from other investment � rms.

Senate moves resolutions forward to ‘support faculty’ and oppose the policy for forced Friday classes.

Two people allegedly entered and shot 31 people at a holiday party for the San Bernardino Department of Public Health at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino on Wednes-day around 11 a.m.

Fourteen people have been report-ed killed and another 17 were injured, according to the FBI Los Angeles Assistant Director in Charge David Bowdich in a press conference. Au-thorities have yet to report a motive for the attacks.

The shooters were armed with as-sault rifles and semi-automatic hand-guns and were reportedly wearing “dark tactical gear,” according to San Bernardino Chief of Police Jarrod Burguan. He also reported that police found at the Inland Regional Center three devices that they believed to be explosive that he described as a “pipe-bomb type design.” Those devices were disposed of.

The shooters were not apprehended at the scene. According to Burguan, the initial investigation led police to a residence a couple hours later in near-

by Redlands, where the officers spot-ted a vehicle matching the description of one at the scene. This led to a police pursuit back into San Bernardino.

The suspects were stopped roughly two miles from the Inland Regional Center, according to the Los Angeles Times. After a shootout with police, two suspects, identified by San Ber-nardino police has a man and a wom-an, were killed during the confronta-tion.

At a press conference at around 10 p.m., Burguan reported the two suspects as 28-year-old Syed Rizwan Farook and 27-year-old Tashfeen Ma-lik. Farook was working as an envi-ronmental specialist for the city of San Bernardino for around five years. The Los Angeles Times reported that co-workers said Farook had returned from Saudi Arabia recently with a new wife, whom he had met online. The L.A. Times also reported that Farook and Malik had a 6-month-old child.

Burguan reported that one officer was shot during the confrontation, but was expected to be in a stable condi-tion.

San Bernardino police detained a third suspect after residents reported seeing him running from the shootout. It has yet to be determined if that person was actually involved in the shootout however.

“This is a marathon not a sprint,” Bowdich said at the second news con-ference following the shooting. “We will go where the evidence takes us.”

After the shootout with police, SBPD searched a surrounding neigh-

borhood for any additional suspects. Burguan said that several residents called to report hearing somebody jumping fences in the neighborhood.

“We don’t know if that was possi-bly responding officers, but we took a cautious approach, we locked down the neighborhood, we asked people to shelter in place and we searched that neighborhood extensively,” Burguan said.

Burguan said that no suspects were found in the neighborhood and the area was reportedly opened back up a few hours later. He also included that there was “some degree of planning.”

Bowdich added that any assertions that the shooting was an act of interna-tional terrorism were still premature.

“I know one of the big questions that will come up repeatedly is, ‘Is this terrorism?’” Bowdich said. “We don’t

know that yet, and we aren’t willing to go down that road yet.”

Though no motive has been found by authorities, Burguan confirmed reports that Farook left the party an-grily, which is what led police to the residence in Redlands.

This is the deadliest shooting in the United States since the December 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook El-ementary in Newton, Connecticut.

“Guns are never going to be taken away from bad people. Even if the mass shootings stop, there’s

always going to be people bombing or terrorizing just

because of their experi-ence and the psychologi-cal key. Because as a child if you keep on with those

thoughts, you’re more like-ly to do something about it

in the future.”

—Gabriella Mendoza, junior studio art major

“In other countries, like say Australia, they pretty

much banned all guns. You don’t hear of any shootings

there. Even though bad people are still going to get guns, I don’t think there’s a

solution.”

—Kevin Constantino, senior graphic design major

“There’s so many people in this world unattended. People have their own

thoughts and they’re going to do what they’re going to do and if they want to go

around shooting people for whatever reason, they’re

going to do it. I don’t think it can be stopped.”

—Brandon Reyes, junior illustration major

Why are mass shootings still happening in the united states?

No motive reported by authorities in deadliest shooting since Sandy Hook.

Captain’s Log: A year ago, in a college not too far away, director and California State Long Beach film alumni Joshua Hoh set out the cre-ate the next big fan film after his award-winning “Steven Spielberg and the Return to Film School.”

His new film, “Star Trek Wars,” follows the same format, parodying film directors within the premise of one of their own films. Although the new film’s title references George Lucas’s “Star Wars” and Gene Rodenberry’s “Star Trek,” the plot involves the irony of J.J. Abrams directing the newest “Star Wars” film, despite having also helmed the recent “Star Trek” reboot.

According to the film’s writer and director Joshua Hoh, he created this film because of the forthcoming theatrical premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Hoh sought to release the

film ahead of major motion picture, which he managed to do just on Dec. 1, when “Star Trek Wars,” made its premiere at Lakewood’s Pacific Theater.

In attendance were the two actors who por-trayed main characters George Lucas and J.J. Abrams.

“Well, I kind of look like George Lucas,“ said Johnny Bolton, who played Lucas in the film. “I grew a little beard. I went in to audition, and when I got a callback, my beard [grew] in a little more, and I looked even more like him.”

According to both actors, they researched their roles by extensively, watching behind-the-scenes footage and interviews of the real life filmmakers.

“It’s a challenge in a way because J.J. is such a likable person. I was very curious to see if I could notice a difference in [J.J. Abram’s] public perso-na and a maybe a little bit more off the cuff,” said Ronan Barbour, who played J.J. Abrams.

Although Hoh graduated from CSULB in 2013, he collaborated with many existing CSULB film students and alumni.

Several of the film’s scenes were shot on lo-cation here at CSULB, including The University Student Union Ballroom, the Hall of Science, LifeFit Center, and the University Telecommu-

nications Building. Amelia Benavente, one of the film’s producers, said the crew shot on campus because CSULB film students receive a discount on the filming permit.

The crew also turned to Kickstarter for addi-tional funding. Despite surpassing their goal of $12,000 and allowing the movie to be shot in a major studio for free, the film ran out of funding during principal photography, so they turned to Kickstarter again to fund the post-production, such as the animated space battle in the credits and the computer-generated lightsabers. They succeeded again with $4,000 financed from do-nors.

Some of the film’s backers believed in the po-tential of student-made films. Dr. David Lieu, a physician from Alhambra, donated $5,000 to the film outside of Kickstarter. As thanks from the film’s crew, he received cameo in a scene.

“I wanted to help these young film producers and artists,” said Lieu. “I do a lot of charity work actually, so I enjoy helping young people—espe-cially with education.”

“Star Trek Wars” is currently available to view on Filmvisionary Productions’ YouTube channel.

As a fan of filmmaking and all things geeky, I managed to se-cure an on-screen role as an extra in “Star Trek Wars” so I could see

how a movie is made. It has always been a life-long dream to be in a film, but I was shooting my hopes way too high when I wanted to be in a super-secret production like “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Baby steps. First step is being an extra in this film; then soon, I’m in a leading role as Chewbacca...

I found it interesting to see how a film is made. The crew would take almost the entire day to shoot footage that would last at least two to three minutes on-screen. Witnessing all of the movie magic behind the scenes ig-nited my interests into how a film is made and how much I would like to be involved in another one soon.

During my time as an extra, filming took roughly five days on the weekend. Perhaps the most physically exhausting time was filming the battle scene, where I went into the film studio at the crack of dawn. After filming ended for the day, I went outside wondering how the sun got back down that fast.

Instead of driving your mind crazy at department stores shopping for a secret Santa gift, look no further than the campus Art Department.

The California State University, Long Beach School of Art will be holding its 48th Annual Holiday Art Sale commencing this Sunday. Both students and faculty of the visual arts program will be participating in the event showcasing and selling their original hand-made artwork to the public.

Over 200 pieces, ranging from works of photography, ceramics, sculptures, printmaking and jewelry

will be on sale. The expected price for art pieces will start at $25 and go up to $500.

In the past, lines have formed out-side the sale so shoppers are advised to arrive early.

School of Art professor and head of the ceramics program Tony Marsh credits the public for the event’s suc-cess that has been going on for nearly half a century.

“The public supports a public in-stitution and student life and receives beautiful handmade art and works of craft at a great price,” Marsh said. “It is a great long running interface with the local community.”

A majority of the proceeds will stay within the art department, going toward scholarships, guest speakers, supplies and other necessities to sup-port the art program. The rest goes directly to the students themselves.

“A fair portion is also returning to students in the Ceramic Arts pro-gram to help pay the cost of Student Club travel abroad and art materials

during the semester,” Marsh said. Art lovers can get their shop on

starting Sunday at the event’s open-

ing reception from 4-7 p.m. and Mon-day through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The sale will be held at the

art department’s gallery complex be-tween Fine Arts buildings 2 and 3 on upper campus.

CSULB School of Art opens its 48th annual holiday art sale Sunday.

DAILY 49ER

The trial of Officer William Porter, one of six officers charged in the murder of 25 year-old Fred-die Gray, has Baltimore residents uneasy about the possibility of the city erupting in violence if there is no conviction at the end of the trial.

Some city officials believe that the future of Baltimore rests in the hands of the jurors in the trials of the six police officers, but in reality the outcomes that transpire after these trials will only be a small piece to a much larger problem in the city of Baltimore.

Baltimore’s inner cities are rich in violence and poverty, and defi-cient in peace and optimism.

In the month of November following the riots in Baltimore, the city surpassed a record high of 300 murders in one year, the first time since 1999, according to the Washington Post.

This vast amount of violence has prompted the city to dispatch

several dozens police officers to the impacted communities, but little recourse was taken due to the capricious relationship formed between the police and the resi-dents of the communities that they patrol.

Prior to the Freddie Gray inci-dent, residents of Baltimore’s inner city areas were already wary of the police, citing constant harassment and excessive force from patrolling officers.

Residents have also claimed that the police have a bad habit of being negligent to crimes that are taking

place in the most deadly areas of Baltimore.

Baltimore Police Captain Robert Jackson reported that the drug-in-fested areas of Baltimore host up to 40 heroin and cocaine markets, creating a toxic environment of drugs and violence.

“A citizen complained about a corner, and we swept in, made arrests and the corner was clear for the day,” Jackson said in a Wash-ington Post article. “But it was a short-term fix. The next day, the dealers were back.”

Jackson even went as far as

acknowledging that the efforts by the police are lackluster to say the least and have not contributed to deterring drugs or violence in the communities.

“It doesn’t take much to know this isn’t working,” Jackson said.

In addition to the turbulent relationship between the Baltimore community and the police, the burden of poverty has inner-city residents weary and impatient for empty promises.

In an interview with the Christian Science Monitor, Police Commissioner Kevin Davis is also

pessimistic about the fate of the city if there are no convictions in the trials that will take place.

“Everything is at stake,” Davis said. “The future of the city is at stake.”

Instead of the politicians and other state officials wondering what will happen after the trial, more focus should be directed towards what the city can do for the residents right now, who have nearly lost all optimism in the light of the morbid conditions they have been forced to live in long before Freddie Gray’s untimely death.

The Long Beach State women’s basketball team ended its five-game road trip with a 68-60 win against the University of Pacific on Wednesday inside the Alex G. Spanos Center in Stockton.

Junior guard Jewelyn Sawyer finished with 13 points, junior for-ward Madison Montgomery picked up 11 and sophomore guard Jessica scored 10 to propel LBSU (6-1) to victory. Montgomery also nabbed 13 rebounds to finish with a dou-ble-double on the night.

The Tigers (4-3) limited their turnovers in the first half, only coughing up seven to the high-pressure defense of the 49ers.

Pacific took a 33-32 lead into the half thanks to 10 points from se-nior forward Erin Butler, on 3-7 shooting from behind the three point line, and eight points from sophomore guard GeAnna Luau-lu-Summers.

The 49ers provided a balanced effort as nine different players put points on the board after two quarters. Sophomore guard Gigi Hascheff led all LBSU scorers with six points in the first half.

In the second half, LBSU began to pull away and carried a 53-44 lead into the fourth quarter. Gertz led all 49ers in the third with five points. In the final quarter, LBSU maintained the pace and held off any serge from the Tigers to bring home the eight-point win.

Sawyer led the way with eight points in the second half. Pacific’s senior guard Hailie Eackles came alive in the second half with 12 points. She led all scorers with 17 points in the game.

The 49ers return home next for a matchup with Colorado on Sunday at 2 p.m. inside the Walter Pyramid.
