By Erika Aguilar |Staff Writer| After the election, twelve of the seventeen propositions were approved by voters; the other five that failed to do so will have an impact on Californians. Prop. 51 allows California to borrow $9 billion to improve overall education. "I think it's great because money has been taken away from school over the years and it's obvious it has had an affect on this generation," said student Breanne Downey. Prop. 52 guarantees funding for Medi-Cal to help low-income families. "It's great that this prop passed because it helps pay for health care services for children, low income families and seniors who pay for their medical expenses," said student … [Read more...] about California Props; Did we get them right?

Who should win the election? The battle between candidates
By Kyle Richardson |Staff Writer| Make America Great Again. We should all vote for Donald Trump. The 2016 Presidential Election is not the prettiest election, as many have questioned who they might be voting for. “I am unsure who I am voting for,” said student Evan Peckels. “But look at the numbers, [Trump] makes money, he can probably help this country and myself make some much needed money too,” added Peckels. First, he is not a politician—he is a businessman. If he is elected president, I hope that his cabinet will be filled with experts. As he is a businessman, he will not owe any other politicians any favors when choosing his top advisers. He will have the best of the best in … [Read more...] about Who should win the election?

Children need positive influences
By Cherae Hunt |News Editor| I would always hear my grandma say “you kids don’t do anything anymore. All you do is sit in front of the television. Back in my day...” then I tune her out as she keeps talking. Now as an adult, I think, “does modern culture ruin childhood?” Looking at my little sister, who is now 13-years-old, and hearing all the pressures she goes through, of course modern culture can damage a childhood, but I would not say it ruins it. We live in a self-absorbed world where having the right selfie and being in a relationship seem more important than going to college. “I think there is a greater emphasis on the self nowadays, which I don’t think is necessarily … [Read more...] about Children need positive influences

Coachella 2016
By Dalal Museitef |A&E Editor| Bandanas, people hovering over trashcans, overhearing conversations of Molly, okay line-up and overly expensive "hipster food" sums up Coachella 2016. For the attendees that actually witnessed the casual druggies passed out; this year we can collectively agree that it was not worth the over $200 GA wristband; not including the classy Motel 6 that had no Wi-Fi. The pros of experiencing the weekend was comfortably hiding in the media lounge where we hoarded free bottles of water and ice cream that refreshed our sandy mouths. While the first two days consisted of one hour gaps, it was the third day that overwhelmed and brought out my inner fangirl … [Read more...] about Coachella 2016

Lamar has proven again and again, that when it … [Read more...] about “Untitled Unmastered” The delicious leftovers
