Story By Brittany Harter Reporter

Students attempting to transfer or graduate are con-cerned about Victor Valley Collegersquos counseling office but few realize that a suc-cessful college experience is a group effort When universities change a requirement VVC is updated by an email that goes to the transferring center and ar-ticulation officer Pamela James ldquoA community college is exciting because you get to work with students from the ground uprdquo said James She has been working for VVC since 1997 and is responsible for the transfer curriculum and general education re-quirements She communicates with all ten University of California schools and all 23 California State Universities If any policies change she emails all of the counselors an up-date ldquoWe in counseling can only be consistent if the stu-dent is consistently seeing usrdquo James said Students need to have steady appointments with their counselors if they plan on transferring If they re-ceived information from a

(students) need to have some sense of what they want to dordquo said counselor and coor-dinator of the Puente Pro-gram Eartha Johnson ldquoThey

need to know their strengths and limitationsrdquo Johnson has been offering academic advice to under-graduate students for five years Often students forget to ask important questions and so they leave their ap-pointments feeling dissatis-fied Coming to a counseling appointment prepared with transcripts educational plans and information on specific schools makes the process much smoother she says

ldquoMy counselors are so hard to get a hold ofrdquo said Ivonne Mateos a communications and psychology major in her second year at VVC

There is a stag-gering ratio of eight counselors to more than 13000 students Thatrsquos 1625 students per counselor The best way to meet with them is to make an appointment in advance Walk-in students are not always a c c o m mo d a t e d but itrsquos essential to make the proper preparations ldquoStudents must be assertiverdquo said James ldquoWersquore teaching (students) to plan ahead See counselors by No-vember because

The Social Network Review ldquoYou Donrsquot Get To 500 Million Friends Without Making A Few Enemiesrdquo

ldquoThe Social Networkrdquo is a fast-paced witty drama that is more than the story about the rise of an empire but the look inside the mind of the youngest billionaire in the history of the world The film places itself among the best of the year list and has generated tons of Oscar buzz It is all well de-served though Once the movie is underway you can tell that it has the makings to become a classic This time Fincher has re-cruited Aaron Sorkin to adapt a screenplay from the book ldquoThe Accidental Bil-lionairesrdquo by Ben Mezrich which is sure to be acknowl-edged as best adapted screen-play David Fincher the director of classics such as Fight Club and Se7en has his way with movies they are always dark and suspenseful It also helps that The So-cial Network has Trent Reznor the genius behind the band Nine Inch Nails and Atticus Ross creating the original score The score creates an atmosphere like no other sometimes it can be very subtle and other times the music hits you with its intensity The movie starts off in a bar setting on a fall night where we see our lead char-acter for the first time Mark Z u c k e r b e r g ( J e s s e Eisenberg) He is sitting with his girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara) discussing the possibilities of joining clubs and the benefit of

them Almost immediately you can tell it is a Sorkin screenplay The dialogue comes at lightning speed and is very intellectual Although it is hard to grasp all that is being said it all comes to-gether perfectly Zuckerberg turns the con-versation into a one-sided affair and this gets him into trouble not just in this situa-tion but throughout the movie After Albright breaks up with him Zuckerberg storms back to his dorm room and quickly goes online to blog about it While at the computer he puts to-gether a website in a matter of minutes that ends up crashing Harvardrsquos server and earning him academic suspension and the recogni-tion of the entire campus The movie then jumps back and forth between the creation of Facebook and the two lawsuits Zuckerberg faced after the fact One was with his best friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) who put up all the funds for Facebook to get its start and the other was with Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss (both played by Armie Hammer)

who claim Zuckerberg stole their idea During the proceedings Zuckerberg sits there barely paying attention to anything anyone is saying while he

doodles on his notepad Eisenberg was born to play this role His portrayal of Zuckerberg is spot on per-fect Zuckerbergrsquos attitude is very narrow-minded he can tune anything out that does not deal with what he wants to talk or think about about As the movie progresses we slowly see Zuckerberg and Saverinrsquos relationship start to fade as they both

want to go different directions with the com-pany Fincher has a way with making the audi-ence feel the animosity between the characters The plot really starts to thicken as we meet Napster creator Sean Parker (Justin Timber-lake) who thinks the idea of facebook is very intriguing Parker starts to be-come really close with Zuckerberg and it seems as if Zuckerberg is star-struck by Parker Saverin sees this from

the get go and tries to warn Zuckerberg that Parkerrsquos intentions are not the way to go This is where Saverin and Zuckerberg stop seeing eye to eye

The Social Network is eas-ily one of the best movies of the year It provides every-thing anyone wants in a movie and it defines a whole generation The only reason not to see this movie would be because yoursquore holding out to see the movie about Myspace which I hope will never be made but knowing Hollywood its in the works as I speak

Will Competition Breed Success for Rams Story by Shaun Canady Sports Editor The only good news the Rams can take from the sea-son thus far is the level of competition they have faced Through the first four games of the season the Rams have played against top junior-college programs The appalling 49-20 defeat at home to Saddleback College marks the end of their most difficult part of non-conference play Going into the contest versus Saddleback Victor Valley had several question marks that needed to be an-swered However the ques-tions remain un-answered

leaving the team and its fans in a state of disarray The Rams dont look very good said Luis Armondo Escobar Theyre going to have to make some major adjustments to save their season The Rams were never competitive against Saddle-back They constantly played from behind and even trailed 21-0 early in the second quarter Victor Valley Fresh-man Quarterback Starsun Fincel started the game but did not last long before being benched due to an unsatisfac-tory performance His first pass attempt was intercepted and returned for a touch-down Fincel continued to struggle locating his receiv-ers and was replaced by an-

other freshman quarterback Dalton Leilua Leilua didnrsquot play much better completing only six of 19 pass attempts for sixty yards The lone bright spot for the Rams was running back Jerrelle Green He scored twice and ran for 128 yards on 22 carries ldquoThe only positive thing today was the running gamerdquo said spectator Donald Elliott The Rams have one non-conference game remaining before they begin league play against Compton College on October 16 It will be im-perative that the Rams learn from their mistakes and capi-talize on their opportunities

vert Meeting rooms A B C and D into one board room There various clubs cele-brated heroes who have made major contributions to the Hispanic Culture and how their acts have influ-enced society

people think creatively We need to stop being right or left brained people and start

being whole brained people We need to get back to what made this country greatrdquo said Silva

The Social Network Review ldquoYou Donrsquot Get To 500 Million Friends Without Making A Few Enemiesrdquo

ldquoThe Social Networkrdquo is a fast-paced witty drama that is more than the story about the rise of an empire but the look inside the mind of the youngest billionaire in the history of the world The film places itself among the best of the year list and has generated tons of Oscar buzz It is all well de-served though Once the movie is underway you can tell that it has the makings to become a classic This time Fincher has re-cruited Aaron Sorkin to adapt a screenplay from the book ldquoThe Accidental Bil-lionairesrdquo by Ben Mezrich which is sure to be acknowl-edged as best adapted screen-play David Fincher the director of classics such as Fight Club and Se7en has his way with movies they are always dark and suspenseful It also helps that The So-cial Network has Trent Reznor the genius behind the band Nine Inch Nails and Atticus Ross creating the original score The score creates an atmosphere like no other sometimes it can be very subtle and other times the music hits you with its intensity The movie starts off in a bar setting on a fall night where we see our lead char-acter for the first time Mark Z u c k e r b e r g ( J e s s e Eisenberg) He is sitting with his girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara) discussing the possibilities of joining clubs and the benefit of

them Almost immediately you can tell it is a Sorkin screenplay The dialogue comes at lightning speed and is very intellectual Although it is hard to grasp all that is being said it all comes to-gether perfectly Zuckerberg turns the con-versation into a one-sided affair and this gets him into trouble not just in this situa-tion but throughout the movie After Albright breaks up with him Zuckerberg storms back to his dorm room and quickly goes online to blog about it While at the computer he puts to-gether a website in a matter of minutes that ends up crashing Harvardrsquos server and earning him academic suspension and the recogni-tion of the entire campus The movie then jumps back and forth between the creation of Facebook and the two lawsuits Zuckerberg faced after the fact One was with his best friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) who put up all the funds for Facebook to get its start and the other was with Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss (both played by Armie Hammer)

who claim Zuckerberg stole their idea During the proceedings Zuckerberg sits there barely paying attention to anything anyone is saying while he

doodles on his notepad Eisenberg was born to play this role His portrayal of Zuckerberg is spot on per-fect Zuckerbergrsquos attitude is very narrow-minded he can tune anything out that does not deal with what he wants to talk or think about about As the movie progresses we slowly see Zuckerberg and Saverinrsquos relationship start to fade as they both

want to go different directions with the com-pany Fincher has a way with making the audi-ence feel the animosity between the characters The plot really starts to thicken as we meet Napster creator Sean Parker (Justin Timber-lake) who thinks the idea of facebook is very intriguing Parker starts to be-come really close with Zuckerberg and it seems as if Zuckerberg is star-struck by Parker Saverin sees this from

the get go and tries to warn Zuckerberg that Parkerrsquos intentions are not the way to go This is where Saverin and Zuckerberg stop seeing eye to eye

The Social Network is eas-ily one of the best movies of the year It provides every-thing anyone wants in a movie and it defines a whole generation The only reason not to see this movie would be because yoursquore holding out to see the movie about Myspace which I hope will never be made but knowing Hollywood its in the works as I speak
