J: Most people think rape happens by a
stranger; they think it’s [when] you’re
walking down a pathway, it’s late at night,
and then a stranger attacks you. But actually,
the circumstances are that it will be someone
you know, someone you trust—someone
you even loved at one point.
It happened [to me] during my Spring

On April 23rd, come to...
Take Back the Night, a peaceful rally beginning at 5:30pm at the Maxson Plaza.
Speak Out, which will be held from 6:30-9:30pm in the Soroptimist House.
Support students like J, share your own stories, and advocate for the elimination of sexual assault and relationship violence. End the silence!speak out and take back the night.
Last semester, I had the privilege of becoming acquainted with a woman who, for the purposes of this article, will be referred to as J. J is a passionate, dedicated, energetic student at CSULB—and she is also a survivor of sexual assault. In honor of next week’s Speak Out / Take Back the Night, a semesterly event advocating the elimination of sexual assault and relationship violence, J has volunteered to share her story.

³6a�V`�QV§PbYa�to describe the feeling I had when I received the Most Inspirational PR_aV½PNaR�S_\Z�the Alumni Association.”
Recently, the student publication the Daily 49er published an article that collectively endorsed a particular candidate in the mayoral race for the city of Long Beach. This endorsement, though seemingly benign and located in the Opinions section, is a misrepresentation of the student body as a whole.
While it is common practice for some major, privately owned media outlets such as FOX News or the LA Times to endorse political candidates, it is equally common for them not to, as is the case with the Chicago Sun-Times and the Wall Street Journal (both of which have staunch non-endorsement policies).
I personally take great pride in our country’s First Amendment, which guarantees the rights of the press not to be infringed upon. As a former United States Army Ranger under Special Operations
Command, I have fought and killed to protect this right. As such, I acknowledge that it is the right of the aforementioned privately owned news organizations to choose whether or not to publicly endorse a political candidate.
What I do not abide is being misrepresented. I was not born into wealth; I have bled and sweat for everything I own. When I am required to pay money to the school which will be put towards student media, I would like to believe that money will be used responsibly towards broadening student awareness and not towards furthering the political agendas of those in control.
The reality of this article being located in the Opinions section of their publication has not escaped me. For the article to be unauthored and to make assertions that “We support” a certain candidate, however,
strikes me as being a wholly unethical use of the platform as a means to sway political opinion in this city that I call home. Had the article’s author taken personal responsibility for his or her statements, there would be no issue.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and a diversity of informed opinions can be the foundation of healthy, positive change in our school and our community. For what equates to a publicly funded news source of this school to make endorsements of political candidates is an irresponsible use of ASI funds and should not be tolerated. Like the men and women who fought to establish this country, if I am going to be taxed, I would like it very much if my voice was not misrepresented.

For me, latest doesn’t always mean greatest, especially with technology—and drones are aUR�YNaR`a�V[�dRN]\[`�aRPU[\Y\Tf��»_`a�ORV[T�b`RQ� "� fRN_`� NT\�� 6� »[Q� `\ZRaUV[T� QRR]Yf�troubling about drones. For those of you who don’t know, drones are unmanned, remote-controlled vehicles. They can be used for spying or for carrying out military strikes. Both uses seem extremely dangerous to me.
While drones are indeed used more commonly by the military overseas, there is a rise in the domestic use of drones. Some companies, such as Amazon, have experimented with drones, attempting to create a new delivery system. I wonder U\d� RÞRPaVcR� N� QRYVcR_f� `f`aRZ� PN[� OR�when someone can easily shoot down the device and pick up a neat little present for themselves. Although these package-delivering drones are also concerning, they’re not nearly as life-threatening as military drones.
The nature of the military drone is a frightening one indeed. A drone can be remotely controlled by soldiers in Nevada yet be carrying out a mission half way around the world in Pakistan or Yemen. This video game-like structure takes away the human element from warfare. While some might argue that it’s good for the safety of the
soldiers, I argue that it’s not so good for the safety of those on the receiving end, especially when a majority of those victims aren’t the intended target but rather innocent, non-combative civilians. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism—a UK-based [\[�]_\»a� \_TN[VgNaV\[°Q_\[R� `a_VXR`�have killed between 400 and 900 civilians in Pakistan alone, and around 200 of them are children. Civilian casualties, especially in a war against terrorism, are unacceptable.
Something seems all-around perverse to me when innocent people are killed. I understand that accidents happen and innocent people die for no apparent reason sometimes, especially in war, yet when planned attacks are carried out to eradicate whole families due to the suspicion that they might be harboring a terrorist, something is downright wrong. It is absolutely reprehensible that families are being wiped out with a single missile—a missile whose total cost to build and deploy is more than what that family has or will ever earn in their entire lifetime. Can you seriously see soldiers earning medals for valor, courage, and honor for conducting such video game-like warfare? There is no honor in drone warfare.

Vinyl DestinationRecord stores will always hold a special place in my heart. They are to me what libraries are to voracious readers. A record store gives you the unique experience of being surrounded by ]\``VOVYVaf�� aU\b`N[Q`� \S� QVÞR_R[a�stories, countless memories of loves lost and found, tales of triumph, fables of failure, and the always-relevant stories of just trying to make it in a world that wasn’t built for artists and creative types.
While the Internet seems to mark record stores for the dustbin of history, their staying power lies in their physical presence. Each EP, box set, album, and dingy old cassette tape demands your attention. It makes itself a presence in your life, something that a listing on iTunes or a torrent on The Pirate Bay will never be able to do. When you walk into a record store, every tangible thing you see enters your life, whether you pick it up or not.
There’s something special about physical music. Technology changes very quickly. The wax cylinder gave way to the vinyl record, the record gave way to the cassette tape, and the cassette tape gave way to the CD. And since digital music entered the fray, the change has been accelerated. Copy ]_\aRPaRQ� »YR`�� `a_RNZV[T� `R_cVPR`��internet radio; all of this takes some control over your own music library

Yeah, it’s inconvenient sometimes to have to go home to listen to music or to have to delicately handle a CD, but no matter what, it’s yours. You own it, and as long as you have the means to play it, nothing can take it away from you.

medium of choice far surpasses anything you can access online. CD fans cite the studio quality sound and lack of compression as integral to the musical experience.

It’s easy a\�»[Q�aUR`R�VZ]R_SRPaV\[`�R[QRN_V[T��Even cassette tapes have made a comeback, with people remembering the old traditions of the mixtape and the ease of copying them.

If you could describe Amoeba Music in one word, it would be “massive.” It’s about the size of two high school gymnasiums side by side with a second story added for good measure. Speaking from personal experience, it’s easy to get lost in there for an entire day if you’re a fan of music and movies. Of course, with this amount of space, no matter what `\_a�\S�Zb`VP�f\b´_R�V[a\��f\b´_R�T\V[T�a\�»[Q�R[aV_R�NV`YR`�QRc\aRQ�a\�Va���
Amoeba makes a name for itself in variety, which is amazing for those of diverse tastes. It’s the only place I could imagine buying myself some cheap punk EPs along with a Gershwin record and some sweet merch on top of that.
The vinyl selection at Amoeba was great, an entire side of the store dN`� QRc\aRQ� a\� cV[fY�� dVaU� Z\_R� `PR[R�`]RPV»P� cV[fY� `a\PXRQ� V[� \QQ�places peppered around the whole store. It was easy enough for one of our editors to spend enough to feed a small village on vinyl alone, collecting dozens of classic LPs throughout the store.
The CD selection was the centerpiece of the store, taking up most of aUR�¼\\_�`]NPR�N[Q�Z\`a�\S�Zf�aVZR��AUR�NZNgV[T�aUV[T�NO\ba�.Z\RON�was the fact that they seemed to constantly beat online prices for albums, and that’s before you even consider the used and clearance sections. I got myself a copy of a Joyce Manor CD for one third less than I saw it on their own label’s website, which is quite impressive.
AMOEBA MUSIC 6400 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028
This one is strictly for you “dad rock” fans out there. Tucked away in a small neighborhood of boutiques in the hipster-ridden depths of Silver Lake, this is a shop for those of you who love classic rock.
Coming to this place right after visiting Amoeba required a bit of NQWb`aZR[a��AUV`�`U\]�dN`�\OcV\b`Yf�N�`]RPVNYVgRQ�NÞNV_��dVaU�P_NaR`�\S�records that reminded me of what might be found in my dad’s garage as opposed to an actual shop. They had plenty of live records in there: Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles, but mostly things that a committed fan would love as opposed to an average listener
And surprisingly, for a store that seemed to specialize in one of the most accessible genres of music (classic rock) was immensely closed \Þ� a\� ]R\]YR� \ba`VQR� \S� Va`� _RTbYN_� Pb`a\ZR_� ON`R�� dUVPU� `RRZRQ� a\�consist solely of middle-aged men.

However, if you’re planning on making a purchase of some rare memorabilia, be prepared to pay dearly for it. I saw a set of Beatles cups from the height of Beatlemania going for about 200 bucks. So if you still have an eight-track player or are very into classic rock collectibles, I would recommend Rockaway Records. Otherwise, I’d say pass.

Atomic Records is clearly for the vinyl enthusiast and doesn’t do much to cater towards other folks. There are boxes of old rock, soul, R&B, jazz, and world music. If it was over 20 years old, they seemed to have it. It was far too easy to get lost digging through crates of vinyl and setting aside everything I found compelling before the stunning realization that I had a budget to work with.

The CD selection was unremarkable in every way. Your typical bargain bin selections of Simon & Garfunkel and such weren’t very compelling, and the prices were comparable to what you would pay elsewhere. Maybe it’s alright if you’re in the neighborhood, but there’s no reason to make the trip up there to purchase CDs.

A clerk stood behind the counter enjoying what must be a pretty relaxing job while two or three people walked around checking out records. It felt sort of like a library, which isn’t a bad thing.

Fingerprints’ reputation is the neighborhood record shop serving Long Beach. I know that in this town, when someone for some odd reason is inclined to pick up a physical copy of an album, they head straight for Fingerprints in the Arts District.

It’s a minor complaint, but sometimes I enjoy looking at a record and wondering if it’s any good. With Fingerprints, the answer is always “Probably.”
Of course, what they lack in mystery, they make up for in atmosphere. 6´cR�[RcR_�ZRa�N�S_VR[QYVR_�`aNÞ�Na�N�_RP\_Q�`a\_R��N[Q�Va�]Nf`�\Þ��6�UNcR�never walked into Fingerprints and felt unwelcomed or out of my league.

The vinyl selection is marked by a collection of odd genres at incredibly low prices. Hell, at 99 cents, even Chuck Mangione seems worth a second look to me. The bargain bins and the stacks of records appeal to the person looking to take a chance. Ever wonder what the hell Krautrock is?

The premise of the store is buying, selling and trading records, and the person at the front counter really considers the records people trade in, searching for that perfect balance between quality and uniqueness. They even had a good selection of turntables at reasonable prices, so this would be a great place for the aspiring record collector to start.

East Fourth Street. Fourth Street, also
known as Retro Row, is home to other
thrifty shops such as The Feed Store and

My roommates and I went shopping here
early last semester for our funny ‘80s family

gold cardigan with lapels and pockets that
worked splendidly for our portrait, which we
now proudly display on our living room wall.
Countless antiquarian jewelry lies

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be in an episode of Iron Chef or Top Chef? If you have, well, sorry—you just missed out on aUNa�PUN[PR�a\�SbY»YY�f\b_�SN[aN`f��DUVYR�f\b�were in your class last Thursday, or maybe `abß[T� f\b_� SNPR� dVaU� Xb[T� ]N\� PUVPXR[�from Panda Express, students battled it \ba� Na� aUR� @\baU�DR`a� AR__NPR� a\� `RR� dU\�could make the best dishes from typical dorm room ingredients and cooking tools for bragging rights and to become CSULB’s »_`a�RcR_�1\_Z�0URS�PUNZ]V\[`�
Just like Top Chef, the contestants were given a couple of key items, which they needed to incorporate into their dishes.
AUR`R� V[PYbQRQ� `]NZ�� dNàR`�� N[Q� A\]�?NZR[�� .YY� \S� aUR`R� `abQR[a�PUNYYR[TR_`�were divided into four groups, and each team was given a blender, a frying pan (which are not technically allowed in dorms since they PN[�ZNXR� `Z\XR� N[Q� `Ra� \Þ� NYN_Z`��� N[Q� N�toaster oven. I remember when I lived in a dorm myself, and we weren’t even given a microwave or fridge like other residential living areas. Even though the concept was interesting to play out, these items and tools were not even close to available in my dorming days at CSULB. But, let’s get back to the actual competition. Some of the other V[T_RQVR[a`� \ÞR_RQ� S\_� V[P\_]\_NaV\[� dR_R�mainly produce, like tomatoes, onions, fresh berries, and banana, as well as bacon bits, nutella, rice, string cheese, and seaweed.
The student teams created some amazing dishes. As I took notes and photos of how and what they were making, I kept thinking to myself, not only did the food look tasty and normal, despite the odd ingredients, Oba� Va� Y\\XRQ�ORNbaVSbY��.YaU\bTU�aUR�aRNZ`�did not have a premeditated plan for what they would be cooking on Thursday, it sure
`RRZRQ�YVXR�aURf�QVQ��DVaU�\[Yf�ad\�U\b_`�a\�serve an appetizer, entree, and dessert for the three judges who had culinary experience, they all did an absolutely phenomenal job.
My eyes immediately gravitated to the creativity of the masubi dish, which featured `]NZ�� ZbYaV�T_NV[� _VPR�� N[Q� `RNdRRQ�� URYQ�a\TRaUR_� Of� N� aUV[� _VOO\[� \S� `a_V[T� PURR`R��My God—why wasn’t I one of those judges? I would have given anything if I could have tasted it.
Let me take a moment to pretend I had been one of the judges...“Mhmm...” I clear my throat, “..mhmm. The winner for the most creative dish is the croquette�²� DUf��you ask? Because the team made up of engineering students that created it made the most innovative twist using most of the items available to them. They blew my mind when they blended the ramen in the OYR[QR_�`\�aURf�P\bYQ�b`R�Va�N`�¼\b_�a\�ZNXR�a croquette. I have seen people use oats for an alternative, but ramen? That really was \ba�\S�aUR�O\e��
The second prize for being a devilishly, deliciously genius dish would have gone to
