Theater department acknowledges Indigenous land ELAC built on BY EDUARDO MARTIN SANCHEZ Staff Writer
A Land Acknowledgement event held by the East Los Angeles College Theater Department, with an Indigenous theater group at the event, recognized the college was built on Indigenous land. DeLanna Studi said East Los Angeles College students can help increase awareness of Indigenous art and Indigenous equity at ELAC. Studi is the artistic director of Native Voices, a theater group, at the Autry. The Theater Department invited Studi as part of their Mentor Month and Studi was also invited for the Land Acknowledgement the school held.
Native students enrolled. Bernard said, as of fall 2021, Natives make up 0.14 percent of the district and 0.18 percent of ELAC students. Vanessa Pellegrini, professor from the Theater Department, said she reached out to Anahuacalmecac International University Preparatory of North America to create a partnership in the hopes of increasing the number of Indigenous students at ELAC. The preparatory school is a K-12 school that helps with education as well as keeping Native communities thriving. “We are here with open hearts, open minds and know that land acknowledgment is not the goal or the ending, it is a beginning and it is a call to action,” Pellegrini said. Studi said that for over 50 years, tribes had been fighting to get rid of the Washington Redskins’ team name. It wasn’t until the Black Lives Matter movement called out the racism behind it that change was made. “We are so much stronger when we are together,” she said. Studi said students can help make a difference by being a part of movements. “Learn as much as you can, find out how you can be of service, and show up… It’s not speaking for the person but it’s nice to know you have your back up,” Studi said. Studi’s kindergarten teacher told her she was required to teach that Indigenous peoples were extinct. Studi and her family are from the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. Decades later at a college meeting
Studi said she hopes to make Native students feel welcome and to tell them that their culture is valued.
Studi’s story helped those present better understand how to be welcoming to Indigenous students. “As an educational institution, we recognize our responsibility to highlight Indigenous histories and advocate for practices, policies and actions that bring justice for past, present and emerging native communities,” Julie Bernard, professor in the Anthropology, Geography and Geology department, said. This was read from the Native Acknowledgement Dialogue. The ELAC Theater Department hopes to change the low number of

CELEBRATING CULTURE—DeLanna Studi sharing how she has seen others honor Natives and their languages. discussing low numbers of Asian and Native students at the college, the school did not bother to find actual numerical percentages for Native students. This erasure is something Studi hopes to change through her work in Native Voices. Studi said she hopes to make Native students feel welcome and to tell them that their culture is valued. “Native Voices is the only equity theatre in the country that is devoted to producing and developing
indigenous plays,” she said. Studi said in Indigenous culture storytelling is medicine and is seen as an act of healing. She said Native people turned towards the artists for comfort at the start of the pandemic. It was because of the pandemic that Indigenous people were finally able to get internet access in many areas. Studi said during the first year of the pandemic the number of elder speakers that the Cherokee Nation
lost due to the virus was near the thousands. Receiving internet access allowed for various improvements beyond safety.. “It (the use of the internet) was to keep our elders safe, so that our students can have virtual schooling. Because we know that when we lose an elder we don’t just lose a loved one. We lose language. We lose culture. We lose ceremony. Because in a lot of our cases–if we can’t do the ceremony in the language, you
shouldn’t be doing the ceremony,” Studi said. It not only allowed lectures to go virtual but gave the families of those in Native Voices the chance to finally see the plays their children were a part of. “Acknowledging the people that are still here is a step in the right direction,” Studi says. She advises students to learn as much as they can about issues and address them.

EAST LOS ANGELES COLLEGE CAMPUS NEWS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2022
Masks remain at LACCD, not K-12 BY RAYMOND NAVA Staff Writer California’s decision to lift the mask mandate on March 11 for schools is a bad decision. The move comes as the number of reported cases in the state has been dwindling. The logic behind ditching the mandate doesn’t appear to be based on scientific data. The state will now only be strongly recommending that masks be worn in the classroom. The fact that the state will now just strongly recommend mask wearing seems to suggest that wearing a mask is still important. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t still be recommending people to wear a mask. This decision feels like it was made due to backlash from antimask people. With the mask mandate ending, it has become a recommendation to wear masks. This recommended that people wear masks. This is a bad idea. One of the reasons it was a good idea to reimpose the mask mandate was because it was very likely unvaccinated individuals were not wearing masks. This likely caused cases to spike back up in 2021. Relying on the honor system was an idiotic idea. Obviously people can lie about vaccination status. Now that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people aren’t required to be masked, those who are unvaccinated will be unlikely to wear a mask now. This could possibly take away any incentive they might have had to finally get the vaccine. While the lifting of the mask mandate will only apply to K-12 schools and child care facilities, this still poses a dangerous risk. The Sacramento Bee reported that the most recent state data as of February 28 shows that only 36.5% of kids ages 5 to 11 are partially or fully vaccinated. Yet despite this statistic, the

This is important to take into consideration. would also likely result in masks not
needing a strong recommendation. High vaccine rates would not need mask usage. Unfortunately, masks are still being recommended. This means there is still great risk of the virus threatening a portion of individuals. Since the state is continuing to strongly recommend masks, then that gives the impression that masks continue to be vital, which would make removing the mask mandate counterintuitive. Los Angeles Community College District colleges will continue enforcing mask wearing and that is the right decision. So long as masks
are still seen as vital, then we should not be removing mask mandates. The mandate has been attacked by anti-maskers but that should not mean that the state bows to their demands just to boost approval ratings. Letting our guard down was what let COVID-19 spread in the first place. The state can’t get complacent when only 36% of school children are vaccinated. The mask mandate should remain in place.
Unchecked Data collection targets youth, change needed
is a fairly new problem. Younger generations may not even realize the impact this collection and social media influence is having on them. Social media has made it necessary for children to learn how to navigate very personal ads that directly influence them. It is important that Biden not only follow through with his approach, but also that he begins the process of regulating tech companies with new bills. These bills should take into account how little information the public has on what collecting data does, and should help parents protect their children from collections.
BY ALMA LIZARRAGA Staff Writer Minors should be protected from going online and having their data collected by social media companies. Younger than ever, children are on the world’s most used online platforms; TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. TikTok is used the most by these younger groups. There aren’t many restrictions put on social media platforms enforcing security for younger users. The ones in place are outdated and can’t account for today’s online risks. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was enacted by Congress in 1998. The rule is in place to allow parents to protect their kids from having their information collected. COPPA has been criticized by social media users and social media personnel. Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg publicly opposed COPPA in 2011. Since then many other public figures have come out against it. COPPA was shown to be financially damaging to smaller businesses, as their penalties for non-compliance can put businesses out of practice. During President Biden’s State of the Union Address, he mentioned a mental health crisis in young people due to the lack of accountability from social media platforms. Biden mentioned tech companies collecting data from children to advertise to them. He has appointed some social media critics to positions of power and has added funds to further research the negatives of

social media. Accountability from these companies is important, but what is necessary is a new bill to reflect the times and keep up with the tech companies’ technology. A vast amount of people do not understand what they are agreeing to when they sign up for social media, or how much
of their information is being collected. Children and teenagers are even less aware of this. They are a lot more vulnerable to, not only data collection but the advertisements targeting them based on that data. Current online laws are not reflecting today’s social media
usage, because they’re not addressing the issue. Biden’s approach is correct. There needs to be more research put into exposing what exactly tech companies are doing with our data. There needs to be more studies on how data is collected and how it correlates to mental health as it

It is important that they don’t interfere with social media companies from running smoothly through implementing deterrents. New laws should be put into place that do not harm the progression of social media. However, we need to reevaluate how much of what is going on in data collection is ethical, especially when it is collected from children.

Gamers can save humanity in new sequel BY JUAN CALVILLO Staff Writer Guerrilla Games has crafted an engaging, expansive and exciting sequel in the, so far, exclusive Playstation title “Horizon Forbidden West.” Set months after the first game, the events of this title lead Aloy, the protagonist of the Horizon franchise, into meeting new characters and threats in an entirely new area of the world. The Horizon games are set in a future where mankind has been defeated and machines roam across what remains of the world. Humans have become tribe-like and superstitious. In “Horizon Zero Dawn,” the story’s protagonist, Aloy, battles an artificial intelligence designed to destroy the world. As the story progresses, Aloy learns more about her mysterious past and how she is destined to save humanity. “Horizon Forbidden West” continues Aloy’s story as she makes her way into the west. Over the span of dozens of hours, players learn more about this world's past and how Aloy plans on fixing it.
Players will encounter new groups and tribes of peoples, more powerful enemies and dramatically different areas than they have in the series. Aloy is voiced by Ashly Burch. The character is the definition of a conflicted hero. While the world seems intent on making her the focus of world changing events, it’s the smaller moments where Aloy’s character shines. Aloy’s kindness, stubbornness and courage make rooting for her a simple task. Yet, it’s the moments where Aloy interacts with Sylens that are the most enjoyable. Sylens, voiced by Lance Reddick, is an interesting character and a thorn in Aloy’s side as well as a helpful hand. Reddick is great at making his character sound just the right mixture of superior and menacing. Booting up “Horizon Forbidden West” on the PlayStation 5, the game is also available on the PlayStation 4, gives players the first glimpse into what the PS5 can actually do. The game is beyond beautiful. The environments run the gamut of arid wastelands, lush jungles and futuristic underground bunkers. Character models are detailed and

the attention to minutiae is a sight to behold. While the time spent playing this game does not include the highest possible settings for a game of this type, the game was
still awe-inspiring. On the gameplay side of things, “Horizon Forbidden West” keeps the mechanics of the first game. Players can take down their
enemies either through stealth or they can battle “guns blazing.” Luckily, Guerilla Games has made some additions to vary the gameplay.
There are additional weapons that expand the ways Aloy can battle and take down her enemies. New gadgets give players interesting ways of traversing the game's lush world. Players can use stealth to take down smaller enemies in their path with their staff. In addition, new special abilities have been added to use long-range weapons as part of the stealth option. The larger mechanical beasts take more of a beating and highlight the newer weapons that are at the player's disposal. The choice to play battles stealthy or full tilt is fun and the game handles both styles well. The climbing mechanic has been refined with attention being paid to not only where Aloy climbs, but also how she looks while doing it. Traversal is just one of the updated mechanics in the game. The inventory system and item creation is streamlined which allows for less time spent inventory managing. “Horizon Forbidden West” has an interesting story and fun gameplay. It is rated T for teen and available now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

BY JESUS HERNANDEZ
Director Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” is the best Batman movie to grace the screen for it is dark, serious, intense and is visually stunning. Reeves creates a version of Batman that has never been portrayed on the big screen before. This Batman, played by Robert Pattinson, is focused on crimesolving instead of crime-fighting as seen in other live-action adaptations of Batman. This Batman lives up to the title the comic books give him as “the world’s greatest detective.” Pattinson is a perfect Batman and doesn’t go overboard with his acting. He perfectly portrays the mysterious nature of Batman and looks intimidating in every scene he wears the suit. He also plays a very cold Bruce Wayne who only cares about being Batman and not wanting to make public appearances. There are only a small number of scenes where Pattinson is not dressed as Batman. Not only does Pattinson do an
amazing job, so does the supporting cast, notably, Paul Dano as Riddler, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, and Colin Farrell as Penguin. These are the characters, including Batman, that are portrayed like never before. Kravitz turns Kyle into someone with depth and emotion, and isn’t a kleptomaniac like previous depictions have been portrayed. Farrell’s Penguin is menacing and has a mobster look different from the comical penguin suits and features in earlier depictions. Dano’s Riddler ditches the comical green suits and goes for a sinister green army jacket and face mask. Dano’s Riddler is not the quirky and enigmatic character seen in other iterations.. This Riddler is brutal and terrifying. There are parts in the movie where viewers will feel on edge because the Riddler is so psychotic. The movie in general feels like a crime-thriller and not a superhero movie. There are a lot of twists and turns. Viewers never really know where the movie is going to go next. It’s a beautifully crafted movie that respects the source material.

DARK AND MYSTERIOUS—Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman in “The Batman.” Unlike Christopher Nolan's “The Dark Knight” series, this Batman is more realistic and isn’t heavily militarized. You can see that a lot of his gear is hand-crafted. Even the batmobile is just a muscle car with a jet engine, which makes sense because Batman hasn’t been fighting crime for long. The sound could have been better. There is a lot of whispering in the
movie. There are also parts where people talk in low voices. It sets the mood, but also happens when it’s just two people talking alone. In situations like that there is no real reason for such low audio levels. Other than that, this movie can not be recommended enough. Fans of superhero movies or those who like true crime, should watch this film.
Docu-series details the life of a scammer BY BEATRIZ GARAY Staff Writer Hulu’s new original series ‘The Drop Out’ tells the true story of the rise and fall of businesswoman Elizabeth Holmes and her tech company Theranos. Holmes, portrayed by “Letters to Juliet” and “Dear John” actress Amanda Seyfried, has a dream to become a billionaire and make a change in the medical industry. With the help of investors, she develops healthcare technology that would revolutionize the medical industry but risk the lives of hundreds of patients. In the first episode we see a young Holmes wrapping up her senior year of high school. She is to attend Stanford University. During her freshman year, she begged a professor to let her in his graduate program, but he wouldn’t let her. She met him once again and convinced him by finding a mistake in the program he was working on with his students. She had found the solution to it. Amazed by her solution he allows her to join his graduate program. During a summer break from college, she goes abroad to work and study in the medical field. When she came back, she became interested in developing a type of technology that would improve diagnostic testing and therapeutic assessments. During her sophomore year at Stanford she tells her parents she's going to drop out of college and pursue her dream of starting a tech
company and she wants to start the company with her college fund. Her parents aren’t very happy with her decisions. She drops out regardless and starts on her tech company Theranos. Hulu rolled out three episodes on its premiere night. In the next episodes, Holmes starts moving forward with the development of her healthcare technology. She soon discovers the technology isn’t working the way she thought it would. Instead of working it out to improve it, she turns a blind eye and keeps moving forward. Holmes starts to look for investors. She starts to pitch to millionaires, even billionaires investors with false information of
false data from a test that worked the first time but then their blood test machine failed every time they tried to make it work. They believed her at every pitch she made, gaining millions and millions of investors' money. She soon was running a big company with many employees. As a result of lying to her associates in the efforts to keep the company alive, one by one each employee was either fired by Holmes or left voluntarily due to the work environment. To compensate for the loss of workers, Holmes enlisted the help of different engineers to make up the work effort needed to keep the company afloat.

MONEY HUNGRY—Amanda Seyfried playing Elizabeth Holmes in new Hulu series, “The Drop Out.”
She had become too ambitious. She wanted to be the next Steve Jobs of Silicon Valley. Holmes was actually almost voted out of CEO, but she managed to save herself by using a personal experience where she went to the Apple Store to fix her phone but got her data erased by accident. By using this event, she managed to persuade the board to keep her on as CEO and even got her lover Sunny Bawani a position in the company as COO. By staying as CEO, she managed to earn more funding for the company and created new tech to maintain the illusion that she was keeping her promise to her investors. As the series develops, we’ll get to see how an employee starts to question if the technology is actually working or if she’s just lying to everyone. She puts hundreds of patients' lives at risk with her technology by giving false diagnostics and false treatment. We’ll see how she starts to crumble and fall as well as her company Theranos does and lawsuits start to roll in. If anyone has been following this story, Holmes was found guilty on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit fraud. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for each count. She is set to start her sentence in September of this year. As of now, she married Billy Evan who is an heir to Evan Hotel Group and lives on his $135 million estate with their son. www.ELACCampusNews.com
