[ music ] >> hello and welcometo a brand new season of campus connectionspring 2009. i'm nikole ramirez500:00:31,176 --> 00:00:32,006>> and i'm clay murray on today's show we'll bediscussing the recent car burglaries on campus as well as issues involvingdomestic violence. >> later in the showwe'll examine how students and faculty are dealingwith the plummeting economy.

we will also discuss the newrenovations here on campus. >> also we'll check outthe men's basketball team and their hopes ofqualifying for march madness. >> but first more cars oncampus mean more burglaries. arielle yaminhas more on the story. >> early in the semestertwo cars were burglarized in parking structure 1 withthe similar incident occurring that same day in parking lot 14. though police reviewedfootage captured

by the university securitycamera system no suspects were caught on camera. >> in these particularinstances the time of the day, the cameras were not ina position to capture any of the images where the areas in which these offenseswere reported. >> though cameras were notable to capture footage of the burglaries universitypolice has launched an investigation on campusand in surrounding areas.

parking enforcement officershave joined the investigation trying to locate stolen permits. >> once they're reported stolenthey are immediately listed as such within ourdatabase and so, when parking enforcementofficers and police officers on campus are checkingparking permits, that would immediately alert us when we have found alost or stolen permit. >> if a lost or stolen permitis located on a vehicle, parking

and transportation serviceswould boot the vehicle in order to immobilize it untilthe owner returns. anyone caught with a stolenpermit would then be required to pay a $250 fine. however, if a student's permitis stolen there is no cost for a replacement permit, so long as they filea police report. >> the customer relationcenter requires that they bring in a copy of the report, aswell as their student i.d.

and once we see that we'llverify that they have at one point in time purchasedthe permit for this semester and if they fulfill all thoseobligations we will just refund -- we will give thema replacement permit, free of charge. >> despite the recent burglariesmany students feel they have no reason to worry about leavingtheir cars on campus lots. >> i feel safe leaving mycar here even though there are burglaries.

i've gotten a few parkingtickets actually pretty much on weeks since school started,so i know there's a lot of cops patrolling theparking structures. >> in order to avoid beinga victim of burglary, chief skipworthsuggests that in addition to lockingtheir cars students should make sure no valuable items arevisible within the vehicle. this is ariel yamin reportingfor campus connection. >> thank you ariel.

i'll definitely be more carefulnext time i park on campus. >> me too. the recent domestic violenceincident involving pop stars chris brown and rihannais a hot topic. >> but many don't realizeit happens on our campus. frances vegahas more on the story. >> help centers usually warnstudents against alcohol or walking alone at night. dangerous relationshipsare not discussed as often.

expert say one in threeteens report knowing someone who has been hit,punched, kicked, slapped, choked or physicallyhurt by their partner. >> it's common. it's really common and there'sand it's i think it more common than we realize because there'sa lot of silence and secrecy. people don't report,don't come forward. >> researcher say, youngwomen between the ages of 16 to 24 are more likely thanany other group to deal

with violence intheir relationships. domestic violence expert say itcan it can be hard for victims to realize they areeven being abused. >> even if a victim ora survivor has a hunch that they're in anabusive situation, they might also be gettinglots of messages that says that he's just reallypassionate or -- you know this abuse orcontrol as a sign of how madly in love that person is.

>> relationship violenceadvocate say looking at the motivation behindabuse may help researchers find solutions. however, it is difficultfor them to predict what causes violence. >> it is just somuch more complicated and so much more nuisanceto individualize and yet when you look at it, itseems like it's not that unique. >> other reasons researchershave found are low self-esteem,

stress, unemployment anda sentiment entitlement. >> if you tend to tryto be someone you're not and when you try to be someoneyou're not you run the risk of acting violent because you'reunsatisfied with yourself. >> rihanna and chrisbrown have proven that abuse can happen to anyone. those who need helpcan take advantage of this time of open dialogue. the women's resource centerhas established project safe

to guide victims ofrelationship violence. survivors can alsomake appointments with the school's counselingand psychological services. i'm frances vega reportingfor campus connection. >> i'm glad to know wehave local resources that help our studentsand community. >> and speaking of helpingour community we have tiffany ferrara of foundation for second chances here

to discuss the children'smentoring program with reporter jessiesims. >> thank you so much forbeing here today tiffany. so, why don't youtell us a little about the mentoringshipprogram that you run? >> foundation for second chancesmentorship program matches adult volunteers from the l.a.area with at-risk youth from grades four to five. >> how long haveyou been working

in non-profit organizations and how does this onediffer from the other ones? >> i've been a volunteer in anon-private sector for 12 years, employed for six years,predominantly doing work in the mentorship field. and this organizationdiffers from other agencies that i've seen, one becausewe are truly grassroots. what i mean by this is thatall the way from the top of our agency our executivedirector down to the people

who are program directors orprogram agents, we are involved with the parents, the youth, weknow our volunteers intimately, we know our youth andour community intimately and it's very hands on. additionally mostmentorship programs in the l.a. community areintervention programs that work with junior high and high schoolyouth who are already struggling because they've made somedecisions that are leading them down a negative life path.

our agency differsbecause we work with the elementary school youthand a means to prevent them from making negative lifechoices once they get in to the junior highand high school years, which are really crucialand formative years. so, our goal is to equip thekids before they get there, so they won't needsomeone to intervene, but they are alreadyempowered and fully capable to lead themselveson a path of success.

>> how can long -- cal statelong beach students get involved and what kind ofmentors do you need? >> we actually have volunteerstaff of people who are starting out in college all theway to the elderly. people can visit our website atwww.ffscinc.org or the best way to get involved in the mentorship programis actually to email me. my email is tiffany@ffscinc.org. >> what kind of mentorsdo you need?

do you need males,females all ages? >> actually, it'sa great question. the truth of the matteris in the volunteer sector in general you have a lot offemale volunteers, but not a lot of male and we have a huge,huge need for male volunteers. out of 30 mentors we currentlyhave 4 male mentors and yet we have about 20 young boyswho need men in their lives to be positive role models. >> thank you for having me.

>> after the breakwe'll take a look at how some student arefinancing an experience they won't forget. stay tuned. >> more than one millionamericans will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year. skin cancer can be deadly, butmost of it can be prevented. >> when you and your family areout in the sun you need to slip on protective clothing,slap on a hat

and slack on the sunscreen. >> skin cancer canaffect anyone. no matter what skin you're in. whether you're workingor playing. remember to protect yourself. >> welcome back tocampus connection. with the economy on a downturnlong beach state students are trying to find ways to fundtheir education overseas. katrina watson has more on the story.

[ sound effects ] >> study abroad ships are onthe rise at long beach state. each year students take on the financialobligation to finance a trip. the education abroad office hasover hundreds of trips offer to students that canmeet their budget. >> we just advice students on how they can financewhat they want to do. so, if they are receivingany financial aid already,

federal state loans, they canuse those moneys to study abroad and we help them figure out-- you know how they do that. >> statistic showthat less than 10% of u.s. college studentsactually study abroad. >> everyone in your generationis going to be working in the global economy andneeds to be prepared for that. so, i think students understandthat going abroad is one of the ways to preparethemselves to live and work in the global economy.

>> students who plan on attending a summertrip might not have to stretch their americandollar in other countries. >> if you're going for asummer trip you cannot use financial aid. you can use financialaid if you're going for the whole semesteror for the whole year. >> students are able to apply for student loansand scholarships.

staff in the education abroadoffice can assist students with finding more. >> i was lucky enoughto have money saved from a prior scholarshipthat had nothing to do with study aboard, so thatwas kind of like my base fund. and then on top of that i gota scholarship from cal state and then other than thati just put in the hours, six days a week waitressing. >> without the helpof financial aid

or scholarships studentsstill value what they gain from the trip. >> i think in the long runthe expenses i can pay back, but the experienceswill always be there and there'll be somethingthat i'll carry on throughout my life. >> if you're interestedin the many ways on how to finance your own study aboardtrip you can visit the education abroad office in brotmanhall, monday through friday.

this is katrina watsonreporting for campus connection. >> thank you katrina. that sounds like an amazingopportunity to travel and explore the worldoutside of our beach city. and with the economy as it isthe financial help is great. >> i know i'm motivated. here to speak about the currenteconomy is dr. seiji steimetz with reporter lydia ham. >> thank you dr. steimetzfor joining us today.

>> sir, currently we aregoing through a recession. does it compare tothe great depression? >> well, as an economist wehave to look at the evidence. we have to considerkey statistics that are often looked at. one would be unemploymentfor instance. now, we're currently atabout 8% unemployment rate that were 2.2% shorter injobs than we were last year. now, let's comparethat to the beginning

of the great depression, say in1930 when job loss was about 5% and in 1931 another 6.5%and then 1932 another 7%. so, on that front,we're not quite near with the depression wasas far as employment goes. another key indicator isgross domestic product. think of that as the valueof everything we produced. think of that as a reflectionof what -- what our income is. now, we actually had a rise in gross domesticproduct last year.

this year the congressionalbudget office projects that we're going to loseabout 2% in overall gdp. now, in 1930, gross domesticproduct fell by about 9%, 1931 by about 8%,1932 by another 13%. again, it's very difficult atthis point to make comparisons between a recession we areexperiencing now which is, although severe numericallynot a lot different than what we experiencein the early 80's. meanwhile in the depression --

you know we talk about25 to 30 bank failures. in the depression there wereover 10,000 bank failures. or we look at the stock market. we've lost about 40% of its peakvalues since a few years ago. during the great depression thestock market lost nearly 90% of its value. so, that's an economist'sshort way of saying that it's not quitea comparison yet. >> so, did the recessionsurprise you

or did it not surprise you. >> it absolutely surprised me. i lost 40% of my savings. economist are certainlynot immune form this and i think this brings up akey point about what we see in the stock market, thevolatility we see now is that it's not bad news about theeconomy that makes stocks crash. what's -- what creates thisvolatility is unexpected bad news, right?

then there's uncertaintyas to how to approach the informationthey are giving. well, the short answeris bad news is bad, but unexpected badnews is really bad and everybody's surprisedby it and that's when you see thingsstart to precipitate. >> so, presidentobama has been trying to raise our confidencein our economy. does our confidence matterat all in our economy?

>> yes, if you think about -- you know getting back forinstance to the stock market. if you think about why dowe invest in companies, it's to provide fundingfor businesses to develop their productsand to grow their businesses, to grow our economy assuch, to provide jobs. and if we're not confidentin the investments we make, we're not confidentenough to place our capital in their hands then that's goingto stifle the growth that comes

from these investments. >> okay. thank you, dr.stimos for joining us today. >> thank you. >> when we return the buzzon the new renovations that students can't seemto stop talking about. don't go away. >> the most dangerous thing... >> our kids have todeal with today... >> isn't violence.

>> it isn't drugs. >> it's unhealthy food. >> too many of ourkids are overweight. >> they're headed for diabetes,heart problems, or worse. >> they need to eathealthy things. >> like vegetables, fruits,high fiber vegetarian foods. >> as our kids grow, the rightfoods can help protect them from obesity, heart problems,diabetes and even cancer. to find out more callfor a free booklet

or visit our websitekidsgethealthy.org. >> welcome back to the show. >> good news forhungry students. the campus outpostrestaurant has finally opened. >> robert guerra has more. >> almost a full yearafter the first schedule of the opening date the newlyrenovated campus outpost grill and convenience storeis back in business. >> when we originally planned,we want to be open a year ago,

but that was very ambitiousand probably too ambitious. we wanted to be openmore realistically, probably last fall. the construction delays tookas past that until this date. >> penrod says that in overlyexpensive first design, difficulty locating undergroundutilities and the series of non-responsive generalcontractors were just a few of the snags in the five and a half milliondollar renovation project.

>> we planned for some of that,some of that we didn't plan for. we've managed accordinglyto make sure that we're -- you know doing what we needto do to manage our financial and economic conditions. times are a little hard now,but we're going to be okay and we are happywe are open now. >> during the months thatthe outpost was closed for renovations students andfaculty openly complained about having to hikethe upper campus

to buy their foodand school supplies. >> in the past i've had to go upto upper campus and get a bite to eat and now that the outpostis open it's very convenient since all my classesare in the pe building. >> customers can buy everythingfrom a single location, while also being provided withboth indoor and outdoor sitting to study and socialize. >> and it's just nice tohave places to sit down and just relax and enjoyyourself, take your time eating,

instead of just havingto be in the rush. >> coupled with the completionof the new parking structures in lot 11 and theanticipated grand opening of the new rec center in 2010campus officials believe outpost business will thrive as aresult of the high volume of traffic in the area. >> this was always reallyour most popular location on the whole campus, sowe expected to go back to being number one on the list.

>> reporting for campusconnection, this is robert gara. >> looks like studentsenjoy having a place to eat at lower campus. >> yeah, sure does. i like their chilicheeseburgers myself. >> i might try it sometime. >> yeah. >> well, studentscan also look forward to the opening ofanother facility.

only this one will helpthem stay in shape. >> erica mcclaugherty previews the student recreation and wellness center. >> cal state long beach hasfinally started the construction of a $61 million studentrecreation and wellness center. the facility will offer fitnessclasses, 8 basketball courts, an indoor track and anolympic-sized swimming pool. with the center studentswill be encouraged to stay on campus longer.

>> i think it's a great,great way for people to -- who would normally just comeand leave campus really quickly to come and stay and enjoythemselves on campus. >> in a time when jobsare scarce those in need of employment canlook to the new center for jobs and internships. >> and this is one of themost exciting things -- components of therecreation and wellness center because it's bringing 200

to 300 more studentjobs right on campus. >> the center will hirecsulb students before hiring outside applicants. >> the neat jobs and that ourstudents are not being hired not only because there'snot enough jobs outside, but also because they're notgraduated yet, so in campus or on campus job will bethe greatest, greatest, greatest solutionto this problem. >> students can usethe center to study,

socialize or just take a break. >> i think that with the reccenter on campus there's going to just be that atmosphere ofwhere if a student wants to go and work out or justgo somewhere and relax, you can be able to nap. >> to get a sneak peak of the center you cantake a virtual tour online at asi's homepage. >> the 3d animation thatfeature that we'll have

on our website once it'scompleted will have a virtual tour of the facilityalong with the voice over and handicapped feature sothat people would visually -- hearing impaired canalso watch the video. >> students are lookingforward to the completion of the recreation and wellnesscenter in the summer of 2010. now, you know what'sover the green fence. this is erika mcclaritywith campus connection. >> thanks erika.

one long beach statealum is making good use of the skills he learned here. >> rob freker interviews john canalis. he's a former editorof the daily 49er and is currently a reporterfor the press telegram. >> john, thanks so muchfor joining me today. >> oh, you're welcome. i'm happy to be here.

>> tell me about workingfor the press telegram and what you enjoymost about your job? >> well, i enjoy the variety ofthe experiences i get to have. one day i'll be handling --you know an act of violence or something horrible like that. the next day i'll be doing afeature on a wonderful librarian and then after thatit's on to politics. so, i enjoy the fact thatthe job changes everyday. >> your executive editor richarchbold was recently on campus

for the career's day and hesaid newspapers have the wrong business model. do you agree with that? >> i think that thebusiness model is changing. i think it was theright business model for the last hundred years, atleast to the press telegram. and now we have to find a wayto make money off the internet and so that's thebiggest challenge we face. the old business model isstill paying our bills.

we make 95% of our revenue fromprints still and right now, so that leaves about5% from online and it's quite a challenge tosort of, foot those numbers, but that's the directionwe have to go in. >> what are some of thethings that they're trying to put on the internet? >> well, we put allof our daily content, all of the printcontent goes online and then there arealso a lot of things

that are exclusiveto the website. these days we can't fit as manystories as we'd like in print, so a lot of them endup running online only. there are also a lot of videofeatures, photo galleries, some limited amount of databaseanalysis and things like that from our area, crimestats, that sort of thing. >> uci dean erwinchemerinsky recently said that if newspapers fail,no one will bear witness. what does he mean by that?

>> well, i think thathe probably means that no one will be there towatch the government or watch over the government,watch what it's doing and keeping eye on it. and like i wouldn't be one todisagree with erwin chemerinsky, but i also think that therewill be people who will step in. i mean, there are alreadyour bloggers and lots of news organizations thatare sort of keeping an eye on government again andbearing witness to history.

but i'm not sure ifthe depth will remain that you get from newspapers. >> do you think there are anyadvantages or disadvantages of working in long beachmedia market as opposed to l.a. or orange county? >> well, there area lot of advantages because we have agood size city, about half a million people andthen the press telegram goes into neighboring citieslike lakewood and cerritos.

so, we probably havea circulation -- i mean a population in the -- our coverage areasprobably over a million. so, you get a goodsize urban environment, but at the same time, youknow, it's small enough that it's accessible and thatyou can get the stories quickly. but, we are -- are always goingto be overshadowed by l.a. and orange county in a sense because these arebigger markets.

>> it seems that asa recent graduate of long beach state you wereone of the last to be able to seamlessly transition into a newspaper jobhere in long beach. what do you think is aprospect for future journalists? >> i think it's going to bechallenging for a journalist in print and broadcast,in electronic media. a lot of the organizationsare shrinking, so you have to be aware of thatreality and within long beach,

it's pretty toughright now to say that nobody is reallyhiring as far as i know. but, i think it will start toopen up with the economy, so... >> john, thanks so much forspending some time here with us. >> thanks a lot. i appreciate it. >> alright. when we come back we'll look at a place some considerthe birthplace of the world

and it's right here on campus. >> he graduated from oneof the best medical school, walked in to a built-inpractice. as an air force flightsurgeon, he's learned that not all battlesare fought in the air. and to understand the stressesof high speed flight he has to experience them first hand. so if you want topractice medicine in a more stimulatingatmosphere, call 1-800-423-usaf.

>> campus connection reporternicki mcvey looks another history and future of the sacred puvungnasite on campus. >> the 22-acres site alongbellflower boulevard may just appear to be an overgrown lot. however, to the people of the gabrielino tribe itis a site of significance. it is believed tobe the birthplace of their lawgiver and god.

it is also believe bysome to be the place of the creation of the world. >> puvungna, thou artcreator [inaudible]. with the last of the creations,of first being the earth, the water, the rocks,the plants, it was the last ofthose creations. >> beginning in the 1960's thegabrielino tribe has fought to preserve the land frompotential development. the university first attempted

to build a stripmall on the site. this was met with protestand a lawsuit being filed to halt any construction. the tribe contributes thesuccess of their protest to 78-year old lillian robles. robles slept on the land for 2weeks facing police, developers, campus officials and bulldozers. the gabrielinos value andrespect elders such as robles for all they have done.

at the annual puvungnaevent held on campus gabrielinoelders were honored. >> i'll tell you who foughtharder for us to be here, our grandparents, the elders. they are the ones whohave suffered for us. and they are here representingtheir elders, our relatives who are no longer with ussuch as lillian robles. >> currently thereare symbolic items on the site including a crossand poll adorned with ribbons,

beads and shells amongsome other things. the items are decorated withpaintings in the colors red, black, white and yellow. they also involved the tribesaying, of honor the circle. while no formal decision hasbeen made about the land, the site has remained untouched and the universityhas never interfered with the tribe's activities. reporting for campusconnection, i'm nicky mcvy.

>> after the season they hadlast year nobody would have predicted the kind of successthe men's basketball team is currently having. >> they have a shot at the bigwest conference championship and the ncaa tournament. aaron huerta has more. >> from hard work by theplayers in the off season and countless hours put in bythe coaches out recruiting, second year head coach danmonson believes they have found

the right components for successful programtoday and the future. >> it's just likebuilding a house. it doesn't happen in oneday or even one year -- you know we're we've got agood foundation right now. but if you look at a foundationof a house it's just a bunch of cement and it's nota very pretty house and that's what weare right now. we still got to buildingto do so that five years

from now once you get thathouse built it looks the same for years to come. >> after a tough preseasonagainst powerhouse programs like wisconsin, syracuse andoregon, the 49ers heading in to conference play withthe five and seven record and having many peoplewonder if this year was going to be a repeat of last years. but coach monson didnot panic and understood that a basketballseason is a marathon

and use his team's strengths tobe successful in conference play and now making a runfor the big games. >> well, i think our strengthof our team is our depth, you know we lose our bestplayer or rating score and are still able to contentfor a league championship. i think that tells you one thing that it's not justbased on one player. it's been a teamthrough and through. >> this team coach monson isreferring to is a young squad

and has a brightfuture ahead of them with three [inaudible] freshmenplaying significant minutes this year. but with march madnessplay right around the corner the teamis focused on this year and as a contingent for a regular season bigwest conference championship, a two round by to start off thebig west conference tournament and a spot in thencaa tournament.

>> play as a team. we're all -- we're allback donovan’s back, arturas' is back,so our families back together, so we are going tojust dominate. >> win the last four-- four games. win the big west of course. >> courts out of thepyramid, i'm aaron warta, reporting for campus connection. >> i hope they makethe tournament.

>> yeah, we all do. well, that ends thisedition of campus connection. >> be sure to join us againfor our broadcast next time. >> thanks for watching.
