Saddleback and Irvine Valley Colleges had already been working on trying to deal with the bottleneck courses before the California Senate Senate President Pro Tem Darl Stein- berg’s Senate Bill 520 was proposed to the California Senate on March 13. Senate Bill 520 is proposing to enforce University of California, California State University and Cali- fornia Community College systems to give class credit to approved on- line course providers to help clear the impacted classes. Steinberg is proposing the budget of $10 mil- lion to the UC’s and CSU’s and put- ting $16.9 million toward Califor- nia Community Colleges towards this online education proposal. According to Dr. Kathy Werle, dean of Academic Programs at Irvine Valley College, these impacted class- es would not be occurring if the Sen- ate issued more money to the schools. “We have been working out this problem for a long time,” Werle said. “In the context of the budget crisis in California, lack of growth in money, and reduction of the work force, we have cut back the number of courses and sections we have of- fered, because there has been no money coming forward in the state.” Even though the budget has been low toward education, Wer- le said that IVC and Saddleback have been working on numerous of solutions to help with the im- pacted classes, even before the new Senate Bill was proposed. One solution they are proposing is to try to build a student-centered schedule. This will allow students to plan ahead the classes they need after they take their assessment tests. Through this, they can see the needs for the classes prior to mak- ing the schedule according to Werle. Another solution is using mas- sive on-line courses to help students prepare for assessment and place- ment tests. This it can help students skip basic level courses to help speed their completion time and to lower their cost of schooling. After getting the assessment data, they can plan for the courses needed. At IVC and Saddleback, they already have a high majority of their courses offered online. IVC currently offers approximately 10 percent of their courses online. “We offer 15 percent of our classes at Saddleback online,” President of Academic Senate Bob Cosgrove said. “[This is] one of the highest in the state.” Werle said that pieces from sen- ate bill 520 already fit into what they are currently working on. “We are both colleges work- ing to make sure that students get through our programs,” Werle said. “There’s a lot of motivation to do that outside the bills accountability.” Senate Bill SB520 is currently being proposed and amended in the Senate. The hearing date for the Com- mittee on Education is on April 24.

Saddleback and Irvine Valley Colleges had already been working on trying to deal with the bottleneck courses before the California Senate Senate President Pro Tem Darl Stein-berg’s Senate Bill 520 was proposed to the California Senate on March 13.

Senate Bill 520 is proposing to enforce University of California, California State University and Cali-fornia Community College systems to give class credit to approved on-line course providers to help clear the impacted classes. Steinberg is proposing the budget of $10 mil-lion to the UC’s and CSU’s and put-ting $16.9 million toward Califor-

nia Community Colleges towards this online education proposal.

According to Dr. Kathy Werle, dean of Academic Programs at Irvine Valley College, these impacted class-es would not be occurring if the Sen-ate issued more money to the schools.

“We have been working out this problem for a long time,” Werle said. “In the context of the budget

crisis in California, lack of growth in money, and reduction of the work force, we have cut back the number of courses and sections we have of-fered, because there has been no money coming forward in the state.”

Even though the budget has been low toward education, Wer-le said that IVC and Saddleback

have been working on numerous of solutions to help with the im-pacted classes, even before the new Senate Bill was proposed.

One solution they are proposing is to try to build a student-centered schedule. This will allow students to plan ahead the classes they need after they take their assessment tests. Through this, they can see the

needs for the classes prior to mak-ing the schedule according to Werle.

Another solution is using mas-sive on-line courses to help students prepare for assessment and place-ment tests. This it can help students skip basic level courses to help speed their completion time and to lower their cost of schooling. After

getting the assessment data, they can plan for the courses needed.

At IVC and Saddleback, they already have a high majority of their courses offered online. IVC currently offers approximately 10 percent of their courses online.

“We offer 15 percent of our classes at Saddleback online,” President of Academic Senate Bob Cosgrove said. “[This is] one of the highest in the state.”

Werle said that pieces from sen-ate bill 520 already fit into what they are currently working on.

“We are both colleges work-ing to make sure that students get through our programs,” Werle said. “There’s a lot of motivation to do that outside the bills accountability.”

Senate Bill SB520 is currently being proposed and amended in the Senate. The hearing date for the Com-mittee on Education is on April 24.

A picture series involving a man with a hose is located on level one of the Library Resource Center (LRC) at the Saddle-back campus. The series has served as a controversial subject as many students attempt to depict the meaning behind it and determine whether or not it should be up for display.

In an informal survey conducted by the Lariat, 21 out of 25 Saddleback students said they found the images to be disturb-ing.

“I immediately think of death and suicide,” Jared Ward, 22, kinesiology major, said.

Although some stdents felt otherwise. “I don’t really see how it’s controversial, I see a lot

of art that has the same context as this but isn’t shown in schools,” Matt Pence, 21, art history major, said.

The first picture in the series (top left), consist of two hands griping the hose near the nozzle. Pouring from the nozzle is a sub-stance which carries down to the picture below. The hose manages to wraps its way to the right towards the second picture (top right), where it tightly coils around two ankles of an unknown body.

From the legs the hose makes its way down to the next pic-ture (bottom right) in which it wraps around a person’s neck that

is disguised by a sack and slightly tilted to the right. The hose then continues to the left into the

last picture of the series (bottom left), in which the hose reaches the beginning of the faucet. A man’s hand is placed on top of the faucet as he stands direct-ly next to it with a substance, from the top left picture,

pouring over his head.“The whole thing put

together makes it special,” Nasir Faryabi, 23, engineer-ing and chemistry major, said.

Some students viewed the artistic quality in the pho-tographs.

“I suppose the man is using the hose as a metaphor for life. If you tie yourself up with too many things you could harm yourself,” Jeff Tscoumangos, 21, undecided, said. “You need to water the plants gradually over time, not just pile it all at once or the plant could possibly perish.”

There were also students who found the series intresting, al-though unsettling.

“Considering what just happened with the Syed case, I don’t think that the school should be portraying any images that could reflect harm or suicide,” Kristen Holt, 19, psychology major said. “The school should be more respecting in that aspect.”

Out of the 21 students that found the series to be disturbing, 18 thought that the images should be taken down.

“I think these three look cool [top two and bottom left photo], but I just don’t like this one,” Alexa Thavorn, 20, health science major, said as she pointed the picture with man disguised by a sack. “To me this is disturbing because I’m a happy person and that just kind of freaks me out.”

Many students agreed that the series would be more ar-tistic and appropriate for school grounds if the man with a sack over his head was removed from the series.

Who created this series? Why was it created? What were the intensionts?

The series belongs to the Saddleback Pho-tography department but the motives and meaning behind them remain anonymous as no one has taken ownership of the four con-troversial photos.

The man and a hose: Art or controversy?Students speak out about the photo series that in-

cludes a man and a hose, located on level one of the LRC.

1) Pick a major you love: Instead of going after a high salary, pick something

you’d enjoy. There are well paid people in every field and you should not pass up the opportunity to love your job.

2) Evaluate your interests: To do this you have to ask yourself the question, what

do you want to achieve? Taking personality tests can help.

3) Browse all possible majors:There are hundreds of majors available out there. Find-

ing the perfect one might take more research than expect-ed.

4) Take an applied psychology class: There are many different forms of this class, including

academic planning, career and vocational exploration.

5) Visit a transfer counselor:They are happy to help with letting you know which

universities offer which majors ,which can also be a factor in your decision.

6) Get active! Joining clubs and volunteering can help with getting to

know what type of work you would like to do as a career. There are many different clubs offered at Saddleback Col-lege and the best part is they are free to join!

7) Consult your family and friends: Sometimes they can recognize your strengths better

than you.

Still don’t know what to do?! Don’t worry it can take awhile to make such a big decision. Make a list of your strengths and possible career choices, the rest will fall into place.Visit lariatnews.com for the full story, including where to find personality tests and all the majors available.

Saddleback and Irvine Valley Col-leges’ part-time faculty contribute their personal time, exceeding their teaching requirements, offering advantages and guidance to their students.

April is part-time awareness month, according to Beth Clary, part-time chair representative and film studies instruc-tor.

She said that she wants people to know that, “they care just as much for the district and work just as hard,” as full-time staff.

“They’re an important part of the foundation for the district,” Clary said.

Randy Pile, part-time music instruc-tor teaches Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced and Ensemble Guitar as well as online Fundamentals of Music in four different districts at Saddleback, IVC, Orange Coast College, Mesa and Palomar.

“I think we have more rules and dead-lines to remember since each school has their own,” Pile said.

Regardless of the extra effort that Pile provides, he remains enthusiastic about his students’ success.

“[I enjoy] sharing something that I really love with so many different people and seeing them come to some understanding of the material,” Pile said. “Some students go on to be great musicians and some learn to appreciate what it takes to be a great musician.”

Clary said that a few issues that part-timers face include having to work at several districts to support themselves, little health benefits, stress and pres-sure figuring out the different school schedules and rules, and having no of-fice space or time allotted to meet with students.

“lack of office space means lack of privacy,” Clary said.

She refers to part-timers as “freeway fliers,” since they are constantly driving between schools.

Since the part-time staff members don’t get paid for regular office hours, some offer their own personal time to

meet with stu-dents.

“[I offer] my availability out-side of class, and beyond the sub-ject matter, to students that have a sincere enthusi-

asm about music,” Pile said.Clary said that it’s difficult not know-

ing whether or not they have a job from semester to semester, regardless of how many years they’ve been at a school or what classes they’ve been consistently teaching.

“I probably work 60 hours a week, but the compensation is not 60, it’s barely 10!” Christina Hinkle, political science, part-time teacher said.

Hinkle expresssed that they get paid decent for the time spent in the class-room but extras are not.

“There is an inequality. [Part-timers] have no idea if they will be given a class, the same class or the number or classes,” Clary said.

““They’re an important part of the foundation

for the district,” -Clary

“Noises Off” takes place in the 1980’s during the last hours of practice before the cast of the sex comedy, “Nothing On” makes their matinee premier.

The conflict and entertaining side is that the cast is terribly mismatched and is not prepared for the play, which is hours away from premiering.

Each character is different and brings their issues with them on stage: Dotty play-ing Mrs. Clackett is forgetful, Garry playing Roger stutters his lines, Brooke playing Vicki is inexperience in theater and

Philip playing Frederick lacks courage and is slightly arro-gant.

The other cast of characters include: ambitious director, Lloyd, elderly actor, Selsdon who may be drinking backstage and the kind, but oversensitive stage assistant, Poppy.

“Hold it, hold it, hold it and God said hold it!” Lloyd the Director said. “I’m starting to think how God felt when he was creating the world.”

Besides forgetting lines, the cast has to also deal with doors that don’t open, missing props as well as love triangles, which add chaos to the play.

During Act One, the cast of “Nothing On” are amusingly unprepared. Llyod’s huge ego and demanding personality doesn’t help the production, but add to the growing production problems.

Throughout much of the per-

formance, the cast seen running up and down the prop stage with doors opening and slam-ming shut. The activity on the stage is extremely kinetic, but well paced.

In Act Two, the audience gets to see a new perspective to the play. The stage is rotated around allowing the audience to get a different perspective to the play.

The ability to see the back-stage antics of the characters as they struggle and physi-cally fight among themselves to perform is what helps make, “Noises Off,” an entertaining play.

After a shocking discovery at the end of Act Two, the ac-tors are faced with the result of the play’s future as the last days of the play come to a close.

In Act Three, the actors are burnt out and tired from per-forming the play. The play and

the backstage drama has tired the actors and it begins show-ing onstage for all to see creat-ing more problems for the cast of “Nothing On.”

The ability to see the back-stage antics of the characters as they struggle and physically fight among themselves to per-form is what help make, “Nois-es Off,” an entertaining play to experience.

“I loved the play, I thought that pacing was great and the performance was hilarious,” said Amanda Picard, 19, theater arts.

“Noises Off” will be show-ing April 10 to the 13 at 8 p.m. in IVC’s Performing Arts Cen-ter. Matinee shows will be held on April 7 and 14 at 2 p.m.

“Noises Off” shows backstage antics of a cast rushing to block a sex comedy.

HOLD IT!: The director, Llyod (bottom right) played by Terry Christoper, questions the poor timing of his actors, Vicki (top right) played by Lindsey Brehm and Freddie (center) played by Hayden Lane. The play is a parody of the common problems actors face during rehearsal.

Steamroller Print Party

[email protected]

The Saddleback Steamroller WoodBlock Party is rolling onto campus on Friday, April 19 at 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the fine arts and theater division.

This is the second year the event is being organized by the printmaking department.

“We did it for the first time last year and the students enjoyed it so much that we decided to do it again,” said printmaking instruc-tor Vanita Voogd.

“What I have is for the students to make large carved wood blocks and then they will be inked on the day of the event. They will be then printed on large sheets of paper using the steam roller which is a road roller to press down the asphalt onto the roads.”

Voogd was inpsired by the etching press rollers in the print studio; however, the class will be using a three-ton steam roller for creating art.

“I thought it would be a fun event for students to do outside of the classroom and for the community to see as well to see what printmakers do to create artwork,” said Voogd.

The Steamroller Woodblock Party will also include additional activities like custom t-shirt printing, woodblock carving, educa-tional stations, a student print sale and food trucks.

“It’s so much fun,” said printmaking student Sandra Babayan. “We did it last year and we got such a good response.”

Babayan will have her art prints featured in the print sale. Ba-bayan will also provide the plate which will be used to be printed by the steamroller.

The event will feature stations which will allow anyone the opportunity to try printmaking. Free art woodblocks will also be available for guest to try printmaking for themselves.

“I hope people will come out and enjoy our event because it’s fun and it’s really good learning experience as you see art out in the streets, “ said Voogd. “It’s a really good exposure to art and see what printmakers are doing.”

The Saddleback WoodBlock Party is free and open to everyone on April 19 in the fine arts and theater division.

The Saddleback College baseball team ran out of steam on Thursday as they dropped the conference matchup to the Golden West Rus-tlers 6-5 in extra innings.

The game started out in what seemed to be like another gem thrown by the Gauchos top pitcher, Evan Manarino. Throughout the first six innings Manarino only gave up two hits and only one run.

The Rustlers put the first run of the game up on the board in the fourth inning, but the Gauchos struck back in the bottom of the in-ning to tie the game. An RBI single from second baseman Jeff Butler gave the Gauchos the lead in the fifth inning. A sacrifice fly from shortstop Josh Fuentes gave Saddle-back a 3-1 lead through five innings.

The Rustlers managed to tie the game again in the seventh inning, but the Gauchos responded by plating two more runs in their turn at bat.

With Manarino now out of the game, Seth Ped-erson comes in to take his place. Even with the Rustlers con-stantly being sucked back behind the Gauchos after they tie the game every time, they still didn’t give up. The eighth inning saw the Gauchos commit two errors, one an overthrow to first base from Pederson and a wild throw home from right field, and this resulted in bringing

the lead down to one. “We let them right back in the

game after we took the lead,” Coach Sommer McCartney said after the game.

With no action from the Gauchos in the bottom of the eighth, the Rus-tlers came in clutch during the ninth inning to make sure they weren’t leaving just yet. Anthony Shew came into the game for the Gauchos with a one run lead.

A double play would end the game and give the Gauchos another win and out them closer to being number one in the Orange Coast Conference. An errant pickoff at-tempt by Shew led to the runner on first advancing to third on the error.

Now with only one out and a man on third the Gauchos were then at the risk of not closing out the game. Batter Soloman then popped up to center field to bring home the ty-

ing run. The inning ended shortly after that, but the damage was done and the Gauchos had to try and win the game at the bottom

of the ninth.With Golden West

playing an immaculate inning, a quick three up three down, the teams then went to extra innings.

At the bottom of the 10th inning

it looked like Sad-dleback was finally going to seal the victory against the

Rustlers. Brandon Cody started

the inning off with a dou-ble, but with an interfer-ence at second base he was allowed to advance to third by the umpires call. So with no outs and a man on third, the Gauchos had everything going for them, but disap-

pointingly to the team no one could bring Cody home for the win.

At the top of the 12th the Rustlers were able to take the lead, the first time since fourth inning. Daniel De-wol hit a single to left field getting him on first, but with a wild pitch he then advanced to second in scoring position. Sean Whiteman then dou-bled to center field and brought De-wol home to get the lead that even-tually led to a win for the Golden

West Gauchos.It was rough game for the Gau-

chos, riddled with wild pitches, missed opportunities and errors. “Anytime you have five errors you will be very lucky to win the ball game.” McCartney said.

The Gauchos next game will be on Thursday, April 11 when they host the conference rival Santa Ana Dons.

One year after the women’s hammer throw re-cord was set by former Gaucho Liz Tepe, soph-omore Julia Reedy set a new record at the Tiny Lister Invitaional at California State University. Los Angeles on Friday.

Reedy’s throw set the national junior college record at 192-feet 1-inch, breaking the previous record by over five feet. Tepe set the record last year also at the Tiny Lister Invitational with a throw of 186-feet 8-inches.

Saddleback College holds the record in both the women’s and men’s hammer throw. Former Gaucho Remy Conatser set the men’s record last year with a 217-feet 4-inch throw.

Gauchos opening day starter Sydney Abounas-sar was knocked around by the Dons on Friday, giving up seven earned runs on nine hits in the 10-0 loss.

Over five innings of play, Saddleback’s offense was only able to get three hits, and failed to have a runner advance past second base. Abounassar surrendered five or more runs for the third time in her last five starts as her ERA rose to 5.44 on the season.

With the loss to Santa Ana, the Gauchos have lost three straight, and have failed to score a run for the second consecutive game. Their next home game will be on Friday, April 12 when they host the Fullerton College Hornets.

The Irvine Valley College women’s tennis team managed to only win one match in singles play in the 6-3 loss to the Cypress College Char-gers.

Lasers sophomore Alyssa Harper took the No. 1 singles match 6-0. 6-3 for IVC’s lone singles victory. The Chargers swept the Lasers in the No. 3, 4, 5, and 6 singles matches. The No. 2 singles match was the only match to go to three sets, as Sofia Robolledo of the Chargers defeated Lasers freshman Ashley Athanas 3-6, 6-3, 7-6.

The Lasers saw most of their success in the doubles matches as Harper and freshman Kristina Ebon won the No. 1 doubles match 8-6, while Athanas and freshman Gabrielle Alviar took the No. 2 doubles match 8-4.
