Occupy Irvine is one of many “satel-lite protests” that have risen in several U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland, and Denver. Wall Street has been “occupied” since September. Rebecca Smallwood, 36, was in attendance for an Oct. 22 march in Irvine. “I think the important thing is the perception of people protest-ing,” she said. With signs that read
“we are the 99 percent,” Smallwood aligns herself with a national move-ment that vows to topple the “one percent” of citizens who control the majority of our nation’s wealth. A growing dissatisfaction with American fi nancial practices was a common theme at the march. “I want the billionaires of America to pay…the percentage that we pay,” said Jennifer Schmitt, 38, whose sign read
“End Corporate Greed.” “I’m tired of seeing 40 percent of my check come out and hearing about General Electric not paying any taxes,” she said. Many are quick to write off the pro-testers as uneducated and misguided at best. Some even see the opposi-tion to capitalism as un-American. � e demonstrators, however, are quick to cite their First Amendment rights. “I believe in capitalism but I think corporations have totally taken advantage of [it] and what it really stood for, what America stood for,” Schmitt said. Orange County resident D’Marie Mulatierri saw what was happening in New York and decided to take ac-tion. “When Occupy Wall Street hap-pened, I was very excited, but I can’t get to New York,” she said. “I started seeing some Occupies spring up and I thought, why don’t we do that out here in Orange County?’’ “I’m just an OC mom,” she said.
OCCUPY MOVEMENT SPREADS IN THE O.C.
One Civic Center Plaza in Irvine, Calif. has be-come the epicenter for peaceful but passion-ate protest, forming a collective of people who claim to be fed up with corporate greed
and a faltering economic system. � e ongoing protest has been met with little opposi-tion from city offi cials and law enforcement. Dissenters — most of whom align with the grassroots Occupy Wall Street movement that originated in New York — have been protesting, organizing marches and shouting their demands since Oct. 15.
NEWS ANALYSIS/ BY ROBERT WOJTKIEWICZ AND JOSEPH O’BRIEN
Former Santa Ana College Speech Communications professor Kevin Strong passed away Oct. 29 after a years-long battle with spinal cancer and amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was 55. Mr. Strong began teaching at SAC in the fall of 1984 and retired in June. Even though he suffered from two debilitating diseases, he remained committed to his students’ success. When ALS eventually confined him to a wheelchair, Mr. Strong adapted to his work here and his life at home. Colleagues saw him as an amazing teacher with an amiable demeanor. He was easy to be around. Mr. Strong was an avid athlete, he enjoyed playing basket-ball before his mobility was hampered. Mr. Strong finished his undergradu-ate studies at the UC Santa Barbara and moved on to graduate work at CSU, Long Beach, where he studied communication with an emphasis in speech. Mr. Strong set high standards for his coworkers and students, an attitude that forced his disability out of mind. He is sur-vived by his wife Lisa and four children. / ROBERT WOJTKIEWICZ / el Don

� e Santa Ana College Interna-tional Student Program held its annual International Festival in the Quad on � ursday, showcas-ing the foods and cultures of several countries in an eff ort to raise money for the program. Students fl ocked to the booths to try new delicacies and experi-ence diff erent backgrounds as a reggae band played while the crowd bobbed and weaved. Booths competed for various awards, with the Japanese booth taking fi rst place for both its cul-tural display and national dress at the event. Awards were also given to Viet-nam, which won the Counselor’s and the President’s award for their contributions. SAC student Irene Pakpahan, who worked at the Indonesian
booth, was awarded fi rst place for her dance performance later in the event. “I’m so happy that I won, I’m thrilled,” she said as her eyes welled up with tears of joy. � e Mexican booth by far had the largest turn out, with students lining up to buy an assortment of meaty tacos. “We’ve had a huge line all day. Our beef defi nitely ran out the fastest,” said SAC student Oscar Iglesias, who was working the taco line at the booth. � e commotion even attracted the interest of a visiting kinder-garten class from SAC’s Child Development Center. “We had a really good turnout this year, as usual,” said Interna-tional Students Program Special-ist Junko Ishikawa. “We usually have around 16 booths, but even with 10, it was still really good.”
� e ISP off ers international students a chance to come from around the world to study at SAC through a variety of services. “Our division does outreach to bring in students from around the world,” Ishikawa said. � e program has over 300 stu-dents from 30 countries enrolled at SAC. � e Festival was to help support these students and the services that SAC provides. � ose services go beyond just helping international students ac-climate to life here in the states. “We help these students with transferring, immigration, and housing,” said Ishikawa. “We even work directly with embassies and homeland security to get these kids here.” Students can also fi nd counsel-ing and career planning services through the program. � e ISP’s offi ce is located in room U-204D.

The Santa Ana College Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program will
receive about $530,000 a year to reach students and those from around the surrounding community. � e grant is directed toward low-income Hispanic students that are interested in careers in math and sciences at SAC. “� e whole idea is to increase the number of students with majors that fall under the STEM program, and to help them transfer or get degrees involving STEM majors,” said Steve Bautista who is a counselor, instructor and coordinator at the Center for Teacher Education.
Bautista said the grant would provide students counseling and off er them hands on experience in various fi elds of study, ranging from mathematics to engineering. � e Tessmann Planetarium at SAC is also enjoying success of its own. STEM and SAC student Patricia Sullivan was recently selected as a National Community College Aerospace Scholar and will travel to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to design and create a rover. “Patricia has forged a bond between NASA and our college,” said Bob Menn, coordinator and program director at the planetarium. “It’s amazing what she has accomplished.” � e planetarium off ers shows appealing to all age groups. � ese include virtual tours of the universe that help explain the concept of outer space. Menn said the shows are fun as well as informative, and have the power to leave an imprint on children’s lives.
“� e shows leave a huge impression on kids. Sometimes we receive letters from kids informing us how much fun they had,” said Menn. “I once received a letter from a kid saying that seeing the show made him want to go to college.” � e planetarium staff encourages students in STEM fi elds to see some
of the presentations. “I see students during break outside just talking to each other. Instead of talking, they should make use of that hour and come to the planetarium to learn something,” said Menn. Admission for SAC students and staff is free. Otherwise, morning shows cost $5. Evening shows cost $6.

Diane, introduced in September, features a mix of two different floral aromas, each with a distinct personality. “Frangipani and violet are two entirely different animals. One is a clean white flower and the other a violet … the ying and the yang,” von Furstenberg said. Fragrance evokes a past memory or emotion. “The woods after the rain, the smell of sage, any smell in nature,
really,” is what reminds von Furstenberg of home. She wants her fragrance to stamp good memories. Diane differs from her earlier fragrance, Tatiana, mainly due to inspiration. Tatiana is more business-driven, whereas Diane was born from passion, she explained. Hoping to produce a classic, her main purpose in this project was to bottle all her love of life, her passion,
her wisdom, and all her secrets of seduction. “Fragrance has been a weapon since antiquity,” she said. Customers lined up in Nordstrom at South Coast Plaza to purchase Diane and meet the woman behind the fragrance. Many donned in wrap dresses, women of all ages patiently anticipated their moment with the icon. “It smells beautiful and feminine and unlike anything else,” customer Brenda Foster said. Dustin Gordon, women’s fragrance counter manager, commented that instead of a soft floral smell like Donna Karan, von Furstenberg added scents like frankincense and myrrh, creating a seductive element not present in other fragrances while keeping the flowery effect. Ranging in size, prices vary from $45 to $110. She also includes a body lotion in her fragrance collec-tion, all available at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and Sephora.

Studio lights reflecting off of the precious jewelry draped on her wrist, Diane von Furstenberg awaits our arrival, eager to share the secrets of her self-titled fragrance, Diane. Elegant and charming, von Furstenberg re-
minds you to “be the woman you want to be,” as her per-fume tagline promises. Fashion encompasses many facets of the senses, and to von Furstenberg, fragrance is “the full stop at the end of the sentence.”

Dance Watch
The show is about to begin. The audi-ence shuffles to their seats, the room becomes dark, the stage lights flash on and the music is cued. The dancers stand in the wings, silently waiting to take their positions on stage. Every semester the Santa Ana College Dance Department develops a produc-tion to showcase their advanced dancers’ abilities and educate and entertain the audience. This semester’s “Dancewatch 2011: Fall/Rise” will include routines by guest choreographer Joel Smith, who has been “creating a new piece of work for our advanced students,” said Dance Depart-ment Chair and show director Eve Kikawa. “It is very exciting and unique.” The UC Irvine jazz dance ensemble, Insight, will make a guest appearance and perform an African dance inspired by their recent trip to Ghana. “There will be an eclectic mix of many different styles of music: tango, blues, classical and sounds from all over the map,” Kikawa said. The hour-and-a-half show blending modern dance, jazz and ballet will take place in Philips Hall Theatre, Nov. 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 13 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available online and at the door, ranging from $12 for adults and $6 for children under 12. / arilia winn / el Don

With Smashbox Cosmetics you can create a polished, shimmering day look
Fall into style with one of the season’s hot makeup trends. Metallic colors are a
necessity for the fall season. Silver and gold shadows are typically intended for a night-time look, but there is a way to pull off the smoky, shim-mering tones during the day without looking over the top. Dark makeup colors are usu-ally worn at night, but with a rich purple shadow trend you can make it work even when the sun is shining. Cover your lid with a plum color and blend a shimmery gold into the crease. be care-ful not to apply too much eye-liner, and make sure to brush mascara on every lash. Finish off the look with bronzer and blush, using a fan brush to cover your cheekbones. vamp up your daytime look for a night out by applying a heavier layer of the eye-shadow from the Glambox 9 set. Just add water to achieve a darker look. A thicker coat of mascara and eyeliner adds drama and you are ready to go. To create a more dewy ap-pearance at night, try using the Halo Highlighting Wand on the top of your nose and cheeks.

ON THE ROAD TO BEING BETTER JOURNALISTS
Opinion
Airport Security
What happens when you take fi ve Dons and send them
to a collegiate journalism conference in Orlando for the weekend? Not what you would think. � ey come home better writers, editors and friends. � e nightlife was tempting, and there o� en seemed more benefi t to sleeping in than hauling ourselves out of bed to attend a seminar. But the experience was life changing. Advisers, faculty and profes-sionals from colleges across the country led scores of me-dia classes. Students poured their souls into their work and countless publications vied for the spotlight. � e thrill of winning Best
Of Show was only exceeded by the overall experience. Walking away with a hand-ful of awards and a network of new friends validated the countless hours spent by writers, editors and photogra-phers perfecting their cra� . Validation can lead to com-placency, but this journey has heightened our sense of duty to ourselves and to our peers. We were thankful for this op-portunity, and look forward to excellence in future issues. As journalists, we already had an incredible amount in common. But a� er this convention, we have more in common as friends than as colleagues, and this experi-ence is only the prelude of great things to come.
STAFF EDITORIAL A trip to Orlando
brings our staff closer to each
other, our school, and our cause
It was just one of those surreal mo-ments, you know? “I’m going to use the backside of my hands on certain parts of your body,” said the amiable yet thorough airport security officer as he ran his hands over my body, checking for who knows what. As I looked around, I noticed that not only had I been selected for a secondary screening at Orlando Inter-national Airport, but so had everyone else in my group. As if our situation couldn’t be any more improbable, some of us — TSA would not disclose who — tested positive for traces of explosives. How the hell did that happen? As random as the whole procedure was, everyone there was extremely nice, and they did everything they could to make the experience toler-able. The TSA should not get such a bad rap, they’re just doing their job to make everyone safer. At least I didn’t get a cavity search. / ROBERT WOJTKIEWICZ / el Don

Month long win streaks are no fl uke. Th ey are products of hard work, preparation, determination and a little bit of good luck. “My thing is to work hard on de-fense,” Head Coach Jose Vasquez said. “If you fi nish one off ensive chance you’ll win the game, as long as you play solid defense.” Seven players combined for all the goals with sophomore forward Briant
Rodelo leading the way with eight. Four other Dons players netted two goals each. “Th e mix we have, especially at forward, can come in at any time and fi nish a game for us,” Vasquez said. “We like a scoring variety. Teams who scout us before a game don’t know who to mark.” Effi cient fi eld communication leads to an understanding that allows the
team to run a lethal off ense with mul-tiple weapons. “We work the system over and over, connecting passes and moving around while communicating,” fresh-man defender Jose Ibarra said. “Th at’s why we are out here, to perfect how each other moves.” Th rough 10 games the team sat at (4-3-3) overall and (1-1-1) in confer-ence. Now the Dons’ record is (11-4-3) and (8-2-1) in conference, good enough for fi rst place in the Orange Empire Conference. “All the players found their rhythm,” Rodelo said. “All the diff erent aspects of our game came together.” In the beginning of the season the Dons alternated between starting goalies. During the seven game win streak freshman goalkeeper Jose Sosa played 575 of the 630 total minutes. His ability to communicate while

Hustle and fl ow are the reasons why the Dons outscored opponents 22 to two through a seven-game win streak. Th e team developed into a cohesive family-like unit with the ability to score at will.
“When you see a team rolling, all the hours you put in are fi nally paying off ,” Assistant Coach Jose Retiz said. “Th ey truly know it is not a one man team. Everybody wins together, everybody loses together.”
MENS SOCCER / BY ERIC LOMELI
Brief
Women’s Golf
Concluding conference play at the Orange Empire Conference Champi-onship at Los Serranos Golf Course, Justine Bresnahan shot a two day combined score of 184. The wind proved a factor as Bresna-han shot eight strokes higher than the first day of Regionals. Bresnahan did play with a driver during the tourna-ment. “My driver does not suit my new swing, it is too heavy and too short,” Bresnahan said. Heading to the OEC Regionals with an average of 84.1, Bresnahan said she has some work to do. “I need to practice over the weekend so I can figure out what went wrong during the tournament, and mentally prepare myself for my last round of golf at Santa Ana College,” she said. Teammate Erin Rapae shot a com-bined score of 187. “I did not play my best, but I did shoot a couple of good holes,” Rapae said. Rapae finished the season with an average of 91.1. “I am upset I did not make it to Regionals myself, but I am very happy for Justine and hopes she does well,” she said. / EVELYN KIELICH / el Don

dominating the box is why the coaching staff had the confidence to make Sosa the full time goalie after a 2-2 tie at home against Cypress Sept. 30. “We see him as a leader back there,” Vasquez said. “He talks more, is more aggressive and con-trols his area now.” As a red shirt, Sosa had the experience of practicing with the team a full season before stepping onto the field. He parleyed his exposure into a successful season thus far. Three shutouts and 60 saves contributed to the continua-tion of the streak. “I saw how tough it was last year,” Sosa said. “Being able to soak in all the training from last year has given me the opportu-nity to be more complete than if I came straight out of high school.” Winning seven consecutive games creates feelings of glee, ac-
complishment and courage while maintaining the desire to improve. “It makes me want to work harder and it gives the team con-fidence to keep going,” sophomore midfielder Cesar Hernandez said. “It starts self-motivation to help us bond and enjoy games more.” The team has put together a win streak of at least seven games every season dating back to 2004. During the 2005 season, the Dons rolled out 13 consecutive wins. “We wanted to be a team that represents what Santa Ana soccer stands for,” Ibarra said. The streak ended Tuesday, Nov. 1, with a 5-1 loss at Orange Coast College. The team has three OEC games left before the playoffs. The next game is tomorrow with the Dons hosting the Santiago Canyon Hawks. The Hawks will enter the game with an overall record of (4-13-0) and a OEC record of (2-9-0), seventh in the conference.

EFFORT / Work ethic and attitude takes Ario Winston towards the next level. / David DeRidder / el Don
Dons sophomore receiver Ario Winston is at least 15 pounds lighter than every other receiver on the team, but he
uses his slim build to his advantage. “I like to prove people wrong. To me, my size doesn’t matter,” said Winston, who is 6 feet tall and 155 pounds. “My speed is all I got. I’m a little too skinny to do all the stuff football players usu-ally do, so I just use my quickness to get past people.” Winston attended Mater Dei as part of the class of 2009. Playing for a storied football program that produces NFL tal-ent fostered the opportunity to feel the experience of a high profi le school while remaining close to home. “Mater Dei helped me grow up faster, and it was crazy fun.” To improve and evolve Winston talks with his fellow teammates, specifi cally the receivers and defensive backs. “I do a lot of bump and run at the corner,” freshman defensive back Davion
Orphey said. “He said he wants to do that more in practice, so that in the game it won’t be something new to him.” In high school, Winston also played basketball and ran track. Th e two sports played pivotal roles in developing Win-ston’s gridiron game. “I attribute my quickness, lateral movements and my ability to go up for the ball from my time on the basketball court,” Winston said. “He wants the ball and wants to win,” Webb said. “Watching him play makes me want to achieve more.” Focus is vital in running crisp routes and making great catches. As a freshman, Winston did not carry the mentality of an elite receiver. Winston’s hard work, dedication and commitment to show up during spring earned the trust of the coaching staff .“He has taken things more seriously and accepts coaching well,” Head Coach Geoff Jones said. “Maturity is the biggest part in his success.”
