In an attempt to inspire Eastside youth into an engineering career in academics and beyond, the engineering club held the “Noche de Ciencias,” (Science Night) last Friday night in Ingalls Auditorium.

The event was designed to inform parents and students of the college enrollment and funding process.

More than 150 parents, students and community members joined with club volunteers and their sponsors in staging their version of the “Caine’s Arcade, Global Cardboard Challenge.”

The global challenge was inspired by 9-year-old Caine Monroy, who created a cardboard arcade game in his father’s auto shop in 2012. Also, in a short film, Monroy challenged children around the world to do the same.

“We wanted to show students the fun side of engineering,” Engineering Club Faculty Adviser Brian Vazquez said.

The East Los Angeles College event was a collective effort by the engineering students of ELAC who envisioned, planned, organized and staged the event on their own.

“This is what’s so special about this event. It is wonderful to see students organize a conference like this,” ELAC President Marvin Martinez said.

Club Interim President Candelaria Flores said she wants to make a difference in this community by leading by example, by working hard and being focused on her academic career, which is

why she chose to be a part of this event.

The chemical engineering major, who wants to go to USC, grew up in a family of eight and wants to be a role-model for her younger siblings and for what she calls this underrepresented community.

“I love reaching out to the community. I want to be a leader for the community and my family. I want to show them that they can also succeed,” Flores said.

Mechanical engineering major and project leader Albert Venegas had a similar take on the reasons why he volunteered for the project.

“I want to give back to the community. Kids get exposed eve ryday to th ings why not something to better the

community?” Venegas asked.He also said that there was

nothing like this when he was growing up and that he wanted to broaden the horizons for students of the community.

After the brief opening ceremony inside the auditorium, students were escorted to the foyer where they began working on their projects under student volunteer supervision.

Since students from K-12 participated, the stations were divided into three levels to accommodate students from all backgrounds, with the younger students on level 1 and the older students on level 3.

“We wanted to take students all the way through the engineering/

design process,” Vazquez said.Vazquez made this a fun event

for the students with hand clapping, desk banging and chanting throughout the night.

“I wanted to show them that engineering was more than just math and physics,” Vazquez said.

This fact was not lost on Dean of Career and Technical Education Laureano Flores who stressed the importance of an engineering degree.

“When I came to this country, I knew no English, but I had my civil engineering degree. That opened doors for me,” Laureano Flores said.

Rough sketchArchitecture 202 students are

developing a housing complex for the city of Vernon as their final project of the semester.

East Los Angeles College architecture Instructor Orhan Ayyuce was doing research to enter into the International Architecture Biannale of Rotterdam (IABR),but through research found that the city of Vernon wanted to develop a housing complex on 52nd and District Street.

Ayyuce then proposed the project to the IABR with the theme being “food and the production of food” and received funding.

Ayyuce, who is a senior editor at archinect.com, has been preparing

his students since the beginning of the semester for everything that’s involved in their project.

The team will tackle this project on a site surrounded by meat-rendering plants, slaughterhouses and other suppliers of food for Southern California.

With a focus on urban design, the team will meet and lay out their floor-plans to bring a new structure to the city of Vernon.

During the spring semester, Ayyuce had students working on a project to design a museum of contemporary art for East Los Angeles. The museum was designed for the Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights.

The previous year, students worked on the the Sunset Triangle Plaza in Silverlake, to make it more

pedestrian-friendly.At weekly round-table

discussions, Ayyuce and 21 students discuss concerns about politics and geography of the site where they are currently working.

“Like (Ayyuce) was telling us from the beginning, it’s like a big think tank. He kept telling us that he was going to treat us like a firm. So that when we get into the workplace this is what we’ll be dealing with,” team-member John Estrada said.

This city has seen its problems in politics and toxic refuge in the soil in recent years. This team seems determined to confront those problems.

“The city has arrived to a certain place, because of the political scandals and all that they had.

Staff WriterDiego Linares There’s something about Vernon

every day in the newspapers. What we are trying to do is conceptually make peace between the politics and the place,” Ayyuce said.

“Since we’re getting introduced to more of an urban design and more of a larger aspect, we have to deal with more issues and problems. We have to figure out solutions for those specific needs,” team-member Anthony Rodriguez said.

The students have learned to appreciate their professor and will look to him for guidance.

“I love this professor. I feel like he’s expanded our minds so much.With this project, it’s like he’s letting us into something that’s his and letting us explore it. We’re learning a lot,” Estrada said.

Minimum wage increase affects everyone

Students should be wary when meeting strangers

It’s a dangerous world out there, and you never know who you might meet.

About a week ago in Monterey Park, a 26-year-old man named Andrew Van Bui was charged with sexually assaulting two females he met at his job in Alhambra.

Van Bui kept in contact with the women through the use of social media and was eventually able to persuade them to meet up with him at his Monterey Park home.

Rudabeh Shahbazi, a reporter from ABC, interviewed Monterey Park police Lt. Bill Cuevas about the incident.

“This is typical of sexual predators. They use social media so they can hide their identity, their intent and perpetrate their crime,” Cuevas said.

This incident surprised Van Bui’s coworkers as well as the customers, who were waited on by Van Bui. They were fooled by the person they thought he was.

Sometimes having a mutual friend can make the difference in

The California minimum wage increase will affect East Los Angeles College students who work.

It is difficult to find a job and even harder to find a well-paid job. Many students at ELAC work to provide for their family and/or themselves; however, the $8 an hour is not enough.

A person who gets paid the minimum wage only makes about $16,000 a year.

Since their income is not enough they are forced to get a second job or get help from the government, which could be stressful.

The increase of minimum wage promises to give them relief on the economic crisis.

After almost six years, the new law which would increase the minimum wage from $8 to $10 was passed.

The senate first approved the new California bill by a 26-11vote. Subsequently by a 51-25 vote by the assembly.

Governor Jerry Brown signed the final approval without hesitation for he believed it was about time for an increase.

The $10 wage will take some time to be enforced since it is a three -year plan.

the employees they have, therefore discharging the workers.

Also, because people will have more money to spend and to pay the employees, the merchants will increase the prices of the products and services.

Not every employee is benefiting from the new minimum wage, like employees who are currently paid $10 or more an hour.

Most employees have worked their way up to the wage they are being paid.

This is unfair for them because their wage is not enforced to rise by the government as long as they are being paid the minimum.

If an employee is paid $10 an hour; when the minimum wage is $10 they will not get the extra $2 they were making before, unless the employer decides to do so.

California will be one of the top states with a high minimum wage. Like California, other states hope to pass a new minimum wage that might benefit the economy.

Most ELAC students will face the changes the increase of minimum wage makes since it is a working class community.

With all the good and bad possibilities, people must be prepared for anything.

It will be great to get a better pay. It would also be hard to look for a new job if the negative possibilities occur.

The minimum wage will rise to $9 an hour by July 2014 and by January 2016 it will increase to $10 an hour.

The $2 increase may create some changes that are both positive and negative.

When the minimum wage hits

$10, people will have more money and be able to provide more for their families.

Also, it may help fix California’s economy because as people will be getting more money, they will be spending more money therefore

moving the money around.On the other hand, the increased

could cause negative change, one of them being the loss of jobs.

Because the employers will be forced to pay the minimum wage, they might not be able to afford all

club and gave my number out like any single person would.

Even though I didn’t know his background or what kind of person he was, the only thing that swayed me to give him my number was that he was friends with one of my close friends.

When meeting someone who sparks an interest in your mind, you obviously want to continue talking to the person and give them your number.

Even if a mutual friend introduces you, there is still a risk of them being a creep. Yet, it’s a little better because the mutual friend will most likely know if they are a creep.

People can lie about who they are - especially in this age of social media.

Van Bui may have been nice and hardworking, but he turned out to be a horrible person.

“The environment we provided to have a cozy environment for our customers, he found a very sleazy way to take advantage of that, and it upsets us a ton,” said Jerry Tou, during an interview for ABC news.

Melissa AntinoBiology

“Twelve dollars. Everything is more expensive than it was before. People need more money now.”

Robert UlloaBusines Administration

What do you think minimum wage should be and why?

Who knows? More females could have been involved with Van Bui.

People should be aware of what they put on their social media pages or make it private.

Also, once you meet someone, you shouldn’t go to their place alone. Set up group meets and see how the person reacts to that.

Even when using websites like Craigslist, people should be waryabout meeting strangers - even if it’s to simply purchase an item from them. There have been countless cases where online meetings have gone awry or even deadly.

Even though women seem to be more of a target, the same goes for men. You may meet the girl of your dreams, but she could turn out to have weird to borderline obsessive qualities.

Even though there are some genuinely nice people online, people should think twice about giving out their personal information to a stranger.

Sometimes your conscious influences your decisions. Don’t be another victim. Give out your number wisely.

for tickets.

The Grids restaurant brings a new and fresh taste to Alhambra with crisp flavors.

The Grids soft opening was on Aug. 23 and has its grand opening on Oct. 18.

Upon the grand opening, The Grids will enhance the menu with more waffle creations to choose from.

The restaurant offers an open parking lot connected to small businesses making it a breeze to find multiple parking. To get started, guests order from the menu displayed above the register.

There is a selection from different categories of sweet and savory waffles no higher then the price of $7.49 along with salad at the same price and side dishes at $3.49.

There is also a selection of smoothie drinks $3.49 and cheaper, coffees ranging from $3.99 and less, and fresh juices ranging from $3.79 and less.

The two recommended and highly purchased savory waffle dishes are the pork belly with black forest ham waffle that includes shoestring fried onions, pickles and sweet apple BBQ sauce.

The smoked salmon waffle

Set in the 1970s era of Formula 1 racing, “Rush” is a race car drama that stands out. Much of this comes from the film’s strong performances, especially from its two leads, skilled direction, and a well-written script.

Based on a true story, the film covers the lives and careers of Formula 1 racers, James Hunt, played by Chris Hemsworth, and Niki Lauda, played by Daniel Bruhl.

The story is mostly based on the rivalry between the racers. Spanning from most of the 70s, the film’s story opens with the beginning of rivalry between the two.

Yet, it is their love of the sport that fuels them into one-upping each other. This rivalry comes to a head when a near-fatal accident

Staff WriterMicole Guevera includes cream cheese, diced red

onion, capers, fresh diced hot-house tomato with spring mix green and a dill honey mustard spread.

They make every waffle fresh. Once guests have ordered, they are given a number for a self-seated table to have a server bring the food items.

The ambience of the restaurant is calm and earthy with its green and wood grain interior décor.

Seating is spacious as four or more available seats per dine-in table, with indoor and outdoor options availble.

The restaurant offers free Wi-Fi, but there is only one electrical outlet if guests are planning to use it.

The kitchen staff wasted no time serving the meal. The order made was the smoked salmon waffle, served with a side of waffle cut fries, and the fresh seasonal berries waffle.

All dishes were served in a beautiful and clean display.

Taking the first bite into the smoked salmon waffle was delicious. The freshness of the salmon is noticed right away because of its attractive bright pink salmon color.

All the ingredients were well proportioned and had the right amount of flavor that does not overpower each other to leave the

taste buds satisfied. Who knew salmon and waffles

would go great together to make a must have dish?

Sadly, the waffle cut fries did not reach expectations.

The fries lacked taste and they needed to be served with ketchup

Although taste was not up to par, The Grids serves a generous amount that could feed two or three people per basket.

Lastly, the fresh seasonal berries waffle was served with fresh blueberries and strawberries that were the perfect amount of sweet along with whip cream, chocolate drizzle and a light caramel drizzle.As simple of a waffle dish this sounds, it was fantastic.

There was no need to add the maple syrup that came with the dish.

The waffle alone without the toppings tasted rich in buttermilk and vanilla.

All the toppings are all additional bites of heaven.

Another great selection in the sweet waffle category is the baked apple with vanilla ice cream on a Belgium waffle that serves a tasteful punch with each bite.

The Grids is located 4.9 miles away from East Los Angeles College on 1468 E. Valley Blvd Alhambra, CA.

happens to one of the men. It’s a sports-drama that puts its

storyline and actors well-above it’s action sequences.

Instead, the action is portrayed as moving the story along, always and never losing focus on the people it is representing.

The film is expertly directed by Ron Howard. Much of Howard’s best work as been within the biopic genre.

Bringing the skilled craftsmanship he bought to those films, Howard is able to elevate “Rush” to his best work’s list.

Screenwriter Peter Morgan generates the interesting storyline. Like Howard, Morgan’s background is also in the biopic field.

Morgan’s interest in the people involved in the real events keeps “Rush” separate from other race films focusing on the emotion and the characters over the action.

“Rush” is able to be the total

opposite. One of the factors that adds to this is that the characters are written to be completely likeable. It is a mixture of their humanity and quirks that makes them feel human.

On the act ing s ide, every supporting player does a nice job.

However, it is the two leads that keep the film’s engine going.

Hemsworth brings a magnetic charm to his performance. He is able to make the hard-partying Hunt the most human in the story.

Bruhl plays the intelligent Lauda with a calm confidence. He plays Lauda as someone who views himself as being ahead of everyone else.

Bruhl is also able to give the character a human quality, making the audience relate with him as he progresses.

Not only does the film have strong substance, but also it carries amazing style.

The visual style is separate from

other action-style films. Rather than be a hyper-stylized

action romp, the fi lm under Howard’s eye goes for a more grounded and natural look. It brings a more down-to-earth feel to the film.

The action sequences themselves are well done. Most common Hollywood action films try to add action scenes that have no bearing on the story whatsoever.

“Rush” allows the action to help tell the story, which also adds to it being well paced.

At a time where most car-related action films value style over substance, “Rush” is a film that carries both hand-in-hand creating a intricate balance of the two.

The result is a film that is not only entertaining, but compelling.

“Rush” is rated R for sexual content, nudity, language, some disturbing images and brief drug use.

Athlete arrives at ELAC after leaving home country

scoring with rhythm—Men’s soccer forward Hector Aguilar works on one of his hobbies- songwriting- during a break from practice.

cn/Jesus Figueroa

Hector Aguilar left his home country Honduras hoping to reunite with his mother after 20 years of being apart. This decision brought him closer to his biggest passion, his dream of becoming a professional soccer player.

Aguilar, 23, lived a tough life back in his home country. He grew up with four siblings and their grandmother from his mother’s side, who he considers his second mother.

Unlike most kids, Aguilar never knew his father. He grew up without a father figure to answer his questions about life and to guide him, but that never stopped him from fighting for his dreams.

Everything changed for him a year ago when his mother Elena asked him to come live with her in Los Angeles. She has been living here for more than 20 years and Aguilar accepted the offer because he wanted to be closer to his mother.

“I decided to come to the United States because I wanted to have a better life. I enrolled in college

because I was lucky to finish high school back in my country, but it was tough. The economy and family problems are the reasons why I am here today,” Aguilar said in Spanish.

His first year with his mother has been tough for him. The last time Aguilar saw her, he was only 3-years-old. According to Aguilar, even though he and his mother

clash, he hopes that within time their relationship will grow. Aguilar is now part of the East Los Angeles College men’s soccer team, where he plays forward.

“For me, soccer is amazing. I love to win and I feel great when I play. It is my passion, and becoming part of the ELAC team has been a blessing and the best thing that has happened to me,” Aguilar said.

While he was in high school back in Honduras, Aguilar worked in order to keep studying to graduate.

According to Aguilar, the decision to play soccer was inspired by the example his grandfather provided in his life.

“I decided to play soccer after my grandfather passed away. I was 15 years old and some of my friends started doing bad stuff. (They) were going on the wrong path. I didn’t want that for myself.

“Maybe he didn’t have a perfect life, but he always tried to give us everything. So, I wanted to follow his example,” Aguilar said.

The first thing Aguilar did once he got to Los Angeles was to get a soccer ball to play in the street. It wasn’t until he tried to socialize when he realized that the language barrier was going to be a problem.

“English has been a huge obstacle for me, but I’ve started to move forward. I have learned a lot of

things and my teammates have helped me a lot,” Aguilar said.

Once he became part of the ELAC soccer team, Aguilar found friendship and support from his teammates and coaches.

For Head Coach Eddie Flores, Aguilar is a very talented player who could really help the team.

Assistant Coach Melvin Rubio said that Aguilar is a great player with a great work ethic, but he also believes that there are some areas in which Aguilar needs to improve.

“He listens and pushes himself during practice. I believe his greatest strength is his physical ability. He is very strong and fast, but lacks the ability to read the game and make effective runs,” Rubio said.

Rubio also said that what caught his attention when he saw Aguilar playing for the first time, was his humility.

“When you correct him, he is listening and makes an effort to fix his errors. (He) appreciates it because he cares to make himself a better player,” Rubio said.
