Music cheMists:AnibAl SAntoS / lAriAt
Jeff Denson’s passion and en-ergy lit up the McKinney the-atre on Monday night. He and his quartet brought their unique style of jazz to Saddleback Col-lege. the audience and the band shared the stage creating an in-timate setting for the jazz per-formance. “We always do it for the small-er groups, it just depends on the show. it reminds them of that club feel,” Music lab techni-cian of the McKinney theatre Kevin Mowry said. Denson played songs from his latest jazz album entitled
“Secret World.” Denson is the vocalist, composer, and plays double bass for the quartet. “A lot of these pieces come from images and concepts i see,” Denson said to the audi-ence. “Dusk is the moment you have the most incredible col-ors.” the audience received Den-son’s music well, but there were few who were indifferent. “A little laid back and not enough energy,” said Fredrico,
a member of the audience.Despite a few complaints, many audience members took the time to stay after the show and chat with the band. “Creativity is what keeps us going. the freedom to create what we love to do.” said drum-mer Gerald Cleaver about the motivation of being a musician. “A lot of the music is us impro-vising and Jeff’s music allows us to do that.” Cleaver said. Saddleback College was Jeff Denson’s last stop in his “Se-cret World” music tour before returning to new York for his next project.
Film Festival hosted by foreign language instructor, Carme-namara Hernandez-Bravo presented the 2012 Oscar for Best Foreign Film, “A Sepa-ration,” in Room SSC-212, Thursday.
“A Separation” is a dramatic film that follows a middle-class Iranian couple, Nader and Simin, after they decide to sepa-rate.
With their struggles within fixing their relationship, taking care of their Alzheimer’s suffer-ing grandfather, trying to keep
their daughter, Termeh, safe, and a conflict with another Ira-nian family, Nader and Simin’s future seems grim.
“Its a very different style of story telling. It made use of silence,” IVC student Olivia Baim said.
“I came in with an open mind,” Saddleback student Sydney Murai said. “Parts were boring because it was long, but the ending hooked me in. It was different. Out of the box. Not traditional.”
The film not only won an Oscar, but received many oth-er awards including a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Lan-guage Film, Best Picture by the Grand Jury Prize, Best Actor and Best Actress by the Berlin International Film Festival, and many more.
“It’s a universal film that doesn’t just deal with Iranian
issues. It has to do with loy-alty,” said Spanish Instructor Carmenmara Hernandez-Bravo on why she chose to screen “A Separation.”
“What makes ‘A Separation’ so compelling as a film is be-cause it is the antithesis of the typical modern Hollywood blockbuster,” cinema/TV/radio instructor Charlie Myers said.
“There are no special effects, no action sequence, no global stars, no big budget- just a com-pelling story simply told. Films like ‘A Separation’ made me a movie fan all over again,” Mey-er who also screens the film in his class added.
A discussion and recep-tion followed the film where Hernandez-Bravo displayed various types of Persian food for the audience to enjoy.

Arboretum concept presented to student government The committee had some-
thing new for the ASG Senate this last Thursday on Sept. 13 when Saddleback College Foundation Project Specialists Michelle Mareks came to talk about a new project she is trying to get the college to work on.
Mareks introduced an idea of an arboretum for the school which would go around the en-tire campus.
There would be two trails; one for walking, jogging and other types of cardio exercises, and another trail for bicycling.
The trails are marked by a red line in the picture seen. Mareks wants to provide indigenous plants in order to make more shade along the trail.
“If we can add shade; we can lower the temperature in the surrounding area,” Mareks said.
“This can lead to less power by using less air conditioning and saving the school money.”
The project will be expensive. with the trail itself costing more than $900,000 spread in four stages.
Planting trees and bushes will also be expensive and have three phases.
The project is getting funding from outside sources such as Toshiba and its contribution of $30,000 for seeds of plants for the arboretum.
Mareks said that the arbo-retum will produce unique opportunities for the college if the solar panels for Wi-Fi and lighting, which are already in-cluded in the budget are used to host outdoor classes.
The college can have some buildings whose sole purpose will be to produce shade for the outdoor classes.
The arboretum will go all around the campus and the trails
will also connect with some of the nearby public parks.
After Mareks gave her pre-sentation the senate opened for public comments to make a few
announcements. The senate moved on to then
discuss about how priority reg-istration will change next year starting fall of 2013.
They said that in order to get priority registration, a student will need to meet with their counselor.
They also noted that Sept. 20 will be club rush.
The senate wants to take this time to help out the clubs to get them to know that if they need help, the senate is there whether it would be funding or a rep-resentative for some type of important meeting that affects the clubs.
Once public comments were taken care of the senate spoke about assigning senators to par-ticular committees.
The parking committee, mar-keting committee, board policy and administrative regulation committee and outreach com-mittees already have a member of the senate assigned to them.
Others that needed a rep-resentative included the judiciary committee, budget committee, publicity committee
and diversity student council. The senate then moved the
approval of the budget to next week and then moved on to what they believed was more important.
The senate also wants to change the Associated Student Body stamp’s title - they have not yet decided but will ask stu-dent’s opinions.
An idea they presented men-tions possibility designating it as the Gaucho Stamp.
The senate then had to wrap up the meeting with taking at a quick look at the survey they will be conducting.
Some of the questions were where exactly are there Wi-Fi problems for students and if students felt obligated to speak with the solicitors that are in the quad sometimes.
The dotted line represents the proposed trail.illuStrAtion / lAriAt

States, Eleanor Roosevelt.“I’m very excited to get
(Roosevelt’s) story out to young girls,” said Swit. “I think it is important for girls to have such a role model.”
When talking about “M*A*S*H”, Swit spoke fond-ly of her time with the show. “’M*A*S*H’ was, for sure, the ultimate experience,” Swit said. She pointed out the fifth season episode, “The Nurses”, as be-ing one of her most memorable episodes. In it, Houlihan finds herself being left out by the oth-er nurses.
“It was a heartbreaking
moment for Margaret,” Swit said. “It showed how lonely it was at the top. It was a beautiful episode.”
After a brief question and answer segment with the audi-ence, Swit introduced Farr to the stage. Farr got the crowd laughing right away, cracking jokes about his microphone not working, and his nose.
“Is my nose in the way?” Farr asked after an audience member in the front row stood up and moved.
Farr started by talking about his career before “M*A*S*H”, about working with famous
comedian and entertainer Rich-ard “Red” Skelton, and about traveling to Army camps in Ko-rea and performing with Skelton during the Korean War. He told the story of how when he first appeared on “M*A*S*H”, he had no idea before shooting that he would have to wear a dress for his character.
His character only had a few lines, and was only supposed to be in that single episode, but, as Farr said, “I came on for that one day, and I stayed on for 11 years.”

This last week a man by the name of Kerne Erickson was campaigning in the quad area of Saddleback. Erickson was trying to not only gain student support, but also trying to bring awareness about Proposition 37. GMO is an acronym for genetically modified organisms. Ever since the 1950s there has been genetic research done to alter our foods. What Proposition 37 strives for is the labeling of GMOs on foods so customers can be aware of altered foods they are purchas-ing. Erickson first heard about GMOs while listening to a Gary Null interview of Jeffery W. Smith, who wrote the book “Seeds of Deception.” Erickson was shocked at the information and decided to take action.
GMO testing was done in the 1950s by big food companies. Monsanto, Kel-logg, Coke, Pepsi, Kraft, and heinz are just a few of the major distributors of such GMOs. Due to the food companies being in charge of the testing, the results were clearly skewed in their favor. The results were manipulated to show that foods con-taining GMOs had no possible dangers or side effects. The food companies have even tried combining DNA strands with beings that are not plants; such as flounder fish with tomatoes. They have also been adding DNA from bacteria and viruses to vegetables like corn. Corn is not the only food GMO has appeared in. Cotton, soybeans, canola, Hawaiian papaya and some forms of squash have all seen their fair share of genetic modification. GMOs are planned to added to grass and salmon as well and even have been put in certain nutrients such as vitamin C.
Erickson’s goal is to have California state laws reformed so that in order for companies to sell GMO products, the companies themselves must label their foods. In the past an investigation was conducted on the harms of GMOs, how-ever because this investigation was con-ducted by the food companies and their liaisons in the FDA and USDA the testing was done at their leisure. This resulted in delaying the research, skewed test re-sults, and manipulation of testing proce-
dures. Not only do GMO products not live up to their expectation, they also inflict harm onto their consumers. According to a study from the Institute for Responsible Technology young children are influenced the most. They are susceptible to allergies, problems with milk, nutritional problems, and antibiotic-resistance diseases.
Fifty countries around the world re-quire GMO labeling. Erickson explains California is America’s last chance to enforce this law. Vermont tried a similar law in recent years, but Monsanto claimed it would take the state to court. Vermont realized it could not win in court against big business so the law was never passed. If Prop 37 passes, it is believed that food companies will just give up because there are too many people in California to fight. Unlike Vermont, California won’t be so easy, if only due to a large population.
This win would show Monsanto and big business that they cannot take control of our food industry as a whole. California would set the precedent and other states would be able to follow, unafraid of get-ting sued.
Why hasn’t this law been passed be-fore? Why are big-time food companies able to sue state governments? One pos-sibility is how Monsanto works with the FDA and USDA. The company takes it employees and places them at the head of such government organizations so if a law is brought up that would affect the food industry, it can simply be vetoed by the head of the association that used to work for the food companies. Big food com-panies are practically forcing us to eat their GMOs, by simply hiding them. It’s a don’t-ask, don’t-tell policy that keeps consumers placated and ignorant on the contents of their foo
Farmers provided with GMO seeds are subjecting consumers to possible harmful chemicals, bacteria, or viruses that can lead to illness and cause diseases. One incident can be recalled in India, where many farmers were given Monsanto’s GMO seeds, with the promise of en-hanced crop growth and hardiness of their plants. Not all of the crops grew and as a result the farmers lost profits and were unable to sustain themselves. There have been over 200,000 farmer-related suicides due to the GMO deception.
If farmers in other countries could not grow anything of value from GMOs, they are not a guarantee, and they are harmful to the consumer; then doesn’t Erickson make a good point on the necessity of la-beling GMO products? If Prop 37 does pass on the ballot we face another chal-lenge: having big corporate food indus-tries, like Monsanto, suing the state. We should not be intimidated in the face of big business, we need to stand our ground. Especially since this is one of our last chance to raise this issue.

on a 16 yard pass from freshman quarterback Jake Geringer. It proved to be too little, too late, though, as the Gauchos were unable to score again, losing to the Tigers by a score of 13-51.
Penalties and mistakes cost Saddleback in the loss. The Gauchos were penalized eight times for a season high 95 yards against the Tigers. Sad-dleback also failed to convert on third downs, converting a season low six times in 22 chances. Gauchos head coach Mark McElroy said the main
reason for the low conversion rate, was due to the team’s play during first downs.
“We were not performing well on first downs,” said McElroy. “We didn’t perform at the level we need to.”
Gauchos quarterbacks were a combined 24-of-61 passing for 217 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. Sophomore quarterback Tim Bel-man went only 4-of-26 passing and threw both of the team’s interceptions.
After the game, McElroy said that part of Bel-
man’s poor performance was due to Belman be-ing injured in the team’s win against College of the Canyons. McElroy said that Belman had only practiced once during the week, and that Belman was still feeling the effects of his injury.
Walking off the field, freshman wide receiver Deveion Collins was disappointed with the loss, and said that the team didn’t do as well as they could have.
“We made a lot of mistakes on offense, de-fense, and special teams,” said Collins.
He continued on, saying that the team needed to make sure that they practiced hard in prepara-tion for their upcoming game against Santa Ana College.
The Gauchos have a bye this week, as they look to prepare for their first conference game of the season against the Santa Ana Dons (2-1). This will mark the thirtieth matchup between the two teams, dating back to 1981. The last time they played was in 2005, when Saddleback beat Santa Ana 45-24.
Already off to a fast start, the Ir-vine Valley College women’s vol-leyball team continued their win-ning ways against San Diego City, finishing them in four sets by the scores of 25-11, 25-14, and 25-9.
With the win, the Lasers be-come the fifth-ranked community college team in California.
The Lasers had a chance to fin-ish the Knights in three sets, but City capitalized on 15 unforced er-rors to take the third set by a score of 26-24. Despite the brief col-lapse, IVC rallied back and burned their opponents in the final and game-winning set.
Allison Cook led IVC in offen-sive with 16 kills and was backed up by Beckie Moodies’ 14 digs on defense and a team-leading two aces. Alexis Radecki had four blocks and Danielle Boyette ac-counted for an impressive 40 as-sists.
After the loss, City sees their record drop to a 2-1 mark, while Irvine Valley continues its pursuit of perfection after improving to 4-0.
