SJSU students ‘shelter in place’ By Vicente Vera SPECIAL PROJECTS EDITOR
Two types of students strolled in and out of Campus Village on Monday: those carrying luggage to their cars and those walking out of the Village Market with paper bags full of food. “We were just worried that we might not be able to get stuff since almost every store my friends went to were out of stock,” said aviation freshman Sungwoo Cho, who resides in Campus Village B. “We don’t really have a car to go into the stores in the first place.” The Santa Clara County Public Health Department announced a shelter-in-place order Monday, instructing all residents to stay indoors except for “certain essential activities.” Cho and his friends bought a 24-pack of water, stacks of frozen food, bags of Doritos and a few bottles of Gatorade as well. “We basically cleared out the freezer so we could actually survive,” he said. “But if some restaurants stayed open for Uber Eats or something, we would get that primarily and then eat this [food] second.” Many shelves at the Village Market were empty, including the sushi, juice and some of the freezer aisles. Students also emptied the chip and ramen noodles racks, with market employees restocking items just as fast as students took them to the register. Village Market employees were unavailable for comment. The Spartan Food Pantry, Dining Commons and

Students load up on food and supplies as they prepare to “shelter in place” because of the coronavirus Monday.
Village Market were the few campus food services that remained open after the “shelter-in-place” order. At the food pantry, students staying in San Jose lined up to pack bags of food and avoid packed supermarkets struggling to stay in stock. “I actually went back to [Los Angeles] hoping I was going to be a little bit better over there but going to Target and seeing, like, my family kind of struggle to get goods was kind of scary,” meteorology senior Liliana Chicas said. “So then I came back here and then it was kind of the same thing.” She said that she passed the food pantry by chance and immediately hopped in line to grab goods.

outside of SJSU, she said customers have emptied far too many shelves for her to buy anything in bulk. “I feel like it would be really difficult to stock up, especially with the amount people are grabbing,” Chicas said. “I personally don’t think I could do it. So I’m kind

for today,” said business freshman Natalie, who chose to only provide her first name because of privacy concerns. “We tried to be healthy and get some fruit, but there wasn’t much.” She stocked up on Cup Noodles, Lunchables and water before heading back to her dorms, unsure about what could happen the next day. After finding out she would be out of a job for the next few weeks, Natalie said she is staying in Campus Village B until the university sends a mandatory eviction notice. “I’m from really far away, I don’t know if my parents can pick me up. I could get on a flight but I don’t know if the airports are closing down,”
Natalie said. “I’m just living day-by-day right now.” International business freshman Cesia Kawada said she went to sleep Sunday night with the intention of staying on campus through spring break. The next morning, she found herself quickly getting ready to go back to her Los Angeles home. “I’m still packing, it’s been more than 30 minutes,” she said. Meanwhile her roommate in Campus Village 2, graphic design freshman Alison Chen, came out of the apartment complex with a pillow over her hamper full of clothes. “For me, it was two hoursish to pack,” Chen said. Some students, on the other hand, are more concerned about rallying for tuition reimbursements because of classes moving online. Mechanical engineering freshman Taha Abdulsalam said he wants to petition for the school to give him a refund on lost in-person services, such as parking, Wi-Fi and health services. “Just because the coronavirus is taking effect and it’s spreading, doesn’t mean we have to take the loss on our finances,” Abdulsalam said. “It’s also good for the university because they can take pride in their name by showing how they care about their students.”

SJSU cancels study abroad trips over pandemic risks By Chelsea Nguyen Fleige EXECUTIVE EDITOR
Japanese food and language, the warm welcome of a homestay family and the promise of rich cultural immersion to finish off a senior year all gone. “When the program was canceled, I could honestly say I felt heartbroken and crushed,” said sociology senior Samantha Vazquez. “Going to Japan was a huge dream of mine and it
was finally going to be a real possibility. I had already gotten my hopes up and was imagining what this big adventure was going to be like.” Vazquez signed up in January for the Faculty-Led Program to Japan. However, because of the new coronavirus pandemic, SJSU canceled the travel portion of the trip on March 11 for precautionary reasons, said Kenneth Mashinchi, senior director of media relations for SJSU. Students signed up to
travel on university trips were notified on Monday of the Study Abroad and Away program’s cancellations. “The news came after we were alerted that school was closed for the rest of the semester, which added extra disillusionment to the fact that my senior year was ending so abruptly,” Vazquez said. Mashinchi also confirmed that the travel portions of the TRAVEL | Page 2
With public schools shut down and only essential personnel working, many Californians are stuck at home. For undocumented immigrants, this may cause anxiety. But the approximately 2.6 million undocumented immigrants living in California, as estimated by the Public Policy Institute of California, don’t need to fear a knock on their front door from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. ICE announced Wednesday that it would stop making arrests, except for those that are considered “mission critical” until after dangers posed by the COVID-19 crisis had passed. In a tweet posted March 5, Department of Homeland S e c u r it y sp oke sp e rs on Heather Swift said, “ICE does not conduct operations at health care facilities. Anyone in need of medical care should seek care.” Exceptions to this temporary policy include people without legal status who pose a risk to public safety or those who are subject to detention on criminal charges, ICE stated.

Gina Di Napoli, University Police Department chief, said in an interview with the Spartan Daily that at any given time, it’s highly unlikely for ICE agents to be at the San Jose State campus. “ICE is looking for people that are selling drugs, committing felonies, doing stuff that is criminal to the community,” Di Napoli said. She said that San Jose State students don’t need to worry about ICE coming on campus. “We have never got a tip or anything regarding if a student was undocumented or not, and even if we did, we wouldn’t do anything,” Di Napoli said. However, ICE could still be present outside of San Jose State. “People should be aware of what’s going on, having general knowledge with anything IMMIGRATION | Page 2

IMMIGRATION Continued from page 1 that goes on, not just on campus but in the city too,” psychology junior Shawn Miranda said. More than 200,000 Deffered Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients live in California, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Ana Navarrete, SJSU’s UndocuSpartan Center program coordinator, said students who fear ICE should know their rights in case they are ever detained. The SJSU UndocuSpartan Center is a student resource center where staff aid undocumented students in gathering legal resources. “As a campus, our message for the students [is] know your rights if you are questioned by an immigration officer and to create a plan in the event that ICE might come and detain you,” Navarrete said. Navarrete said fear of detainment and deportation has been prevalent in the Bay Area community for a long time now. In the event that ICE agents are spotted in a Santa Clara County community, she said there are organizations like the Rapid Response Network, run by the Sacred Heart organization, that aim to protect

SJSU history professor Alberto Garcia said that immigration advocacy groups should do more educational campaigns to inform immigrants of their rights. ICE agents must abide by search and seizure rules established by the Constitution and the Fourth Amendment when conducting investigations because every person in the U.S. has protected rights regardless of legal status, Garcia said. He added that undocumented citizens don’t need to open their doors to agents if they don’t have a warrant. ICE’s suspension of enforcement announcement followed ongoing criticism of the Department of Homeland Security for not implementing safety precautions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic weeks before. On March 5, Rep. Judy Chu (Pasadena) and Rep. Karen Bass (Los Angeles) signed a public letter sent by a Congressional tri-caucus calling on ICE to “suspend implementation of the public charge rule in order to protect public health,” especially around hospitals and medical clinics. Bay Area officials are taking public safety precautions even further. On March 10, San Francisco’s public defender and district attorney announced a move

In the email sent to students registered for study abroad courses, the office also stated that students should take the opportunity to finish the course online in the summer as it is cheaper than typical summer session units and will

There was some wellused slow motion in the film, reminiscent of fight scenes from the movie, “300.” However, once the fight scenes ended, the movie fell flat. Garrison then met his former ally Jimmy Dalton, played by Sam Heughan, who ended up talking negatively to Garrison, making the rest of the film extremely predictable. Dalton is another supersoldier created by Rising Spirit Tech. The viewers could easily tell what was going to happen throughout the film, and it simply made the plot uninteresting to follow. In a movie like this, the action scenes have to make up for a lazy plot, and ‘Bloodshot’ does at times. But it never recovered its story quality after Garrison began taking advantage of his superpowers. There was a scene where Garrison clashed with other hyper-enhanced beings, including Dalton,

including Dalton. The movie would have pierced it’s one dimensionality if it had offered up any explanation or the rivalry between Dalton and Garrison. It was quite fun to see Garrison seek vengeance on the guy who trash-talked him in the first place, but it wasn’t as exciting as it should have been because of a lack of buildup and fight choreography. Diesel’s performance as Garrison was passable, only because he did not need to step out of his comfort zone at all. Garrison isn’t a character with depth. He’s simply an angry dude seeking vengeance and violence to fulfill his needs. The movie wasn’t bad, but it’s a good definition of a “weekend thriller.” It’s a fun movie to watch for its nearly two-hour run time, but then you’re back to reality dealing with the quarantine situation.

Should sports continue with empty seats? No, everyone’s health is Yes, sports can still go more important right now on without fans in seats Austin Turner SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Remember on March 11 when a Utah Jazz team doctor rushed onto the court in Oklahoma City, stopping the team’s game against the Thunder because Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus? That was only eight days ago. It feels like it’s been an eternity. Sports serve as a distraction to us, so during a time when most are self-quarantined with nothing to do, there’s an obvious void. But don’t let your boredom cloud your judgment. The cancellation of most sporting events for the foreseeable future wasn’t just a good call — it was the only call. Some would argue that the games and events could still be held, just with no fans in attendance. The WWE is continuing to do that, with its recent announcement that WrestleMania will continue at its performance center in Orlando on April 5. But contrary to the apparent belief of many sports enthusiasts, fans in the stands aren’t the only people that can contract coronavirus. The continuation of sports puts the athletes at risk as well. As of Wednesday, there are seven NBA players that have tested positive for COVID-19, more than any other professional league or college conference in America. This includes household names like Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell and Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant. And that’s without most teams being tested. Not only do these players and others in different sports participate in physical games that surely violate the new societal guideline of social distancing, but logistically there are
simply too many risks to having these competitions continue. According to the Associated Press, four players on the Brooklyn Nets, including Durant, tested positive. In March, the Nets played five games. Two of them were on the road. This means that twice, the team boarded planes, took bus rides, stayed in hotels, ate in restaurants and did whatever else people do on a work-related trip. Plus, NBA players are among the most recognizable athletes on earth. Just the thought of how many fan interactions the Nets have in Brooklyn while going about their daily lives makes me want to wash my hands. That alone is a frightening thought. The players could have passed the virus onto anybody, and that’s not even considering that they played in games and shared physical contact with other players. Not to mention, the arenas they play in often host concerts or other sports like hockey. Now, compare this to collegiate athletics. More than likely, there is at least one NCAA athlete with coronavirus, whether they know it or not. That person’s classes are now probably online. So now, they’re going home to see their parents or other family members, who could be at risk. Continuing to have these events would be irresponsible and reckless. As much as we might miss sports, we need to remind ourselves that athletes are just like us. They have families and friends that could be high-risk, just like we do. In times like this, we need to look out for each other. And when this all blows over, I’ll catch you at the bar, beer in hand, while we cheer on our favorite teams.

On Monday, the WWE hosted a live event with zero fans in attendance as they celebrated “3:16 Day” with wrestling star Stone Cold Steve Austin. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this in wrestling, but the reasoning behind it this time is drastically different. Large social gatherings are being canceled around the country to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. COVID-19 has been labeled a global pandemic. Almost all sporting events and leagues around the world have been canceled or suspended to help keep athletes and fans safe. In Italy, sporting events continued with no fans in attendance when news of COVID-19 first broke out. UFC has done the same, with Gilbert Burns winning a match in an empty arena in Brasilia, Brazil. Sports should not have to stop because of the coronavirus. Many illnesses have come and gone like the swine flu, SARS, H1N1 and Ebola. But games were not canceled. Michael Jordan even delivered an iconic performance in the 1997 NBA Finals with the flu, later dubbed “The Flu Game.” Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James was one of the first athletes to speak out on the possibility of playing in games with no one in attendance. “We play games without the fans? Nah, that’s impossible,” said James to reporters in a postgame interview on March 6. “I ain’t playing if I ain’t got the fans in the crowd. That’s who I play for. I play for my teammates, and I play for the fans. That’s what it’s all about. So if I show up to an arena and there ain’t no fans in there, I ain’t playing.”

My immediate reaction to this was what about the fans that watch the games from home. I also wonder what would happen to the workers of these various arenas and stadiums around the world. Kevin Love, a forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was the first NBA player to pledge to pay the workers of the Cavaliers’ arena. Several other players followed in his footsteps around the league, including rookie phenom Zion Williamson. Professional athletes typically have the means to adjust well to the current climate. On the other hand, collegiate athletes are dealing with much more complex matters. San Jose State’s senior infielder Troy Viola said it best according to previous reporting from the Spartan Daily. “I gave my life to baseball . . . All this time and effort I exerted to make my dream of playing professional baseball a reality and in hopes of getting Spartan baseball their first [Mountain West] championship in a long time . . . All just to have my senior year ripped out of my hands, it’s devastating,” he said in the story. So many NCAA athletes will be missing out on their last opportunities to play. Questions about eligibility relief have come up but none have been answered by the NCAA. March Madness being canceled also hurt a lot of college athletes’ draft stock. In the past, we’ve seen players like former Davidson College guard Stephen Curry and even former SJSU forward Brandon Clarke use the tournament to show teams they are a lottery pick. The absence of fans shouldn’t be the reason why athletes cannot perform. Let’s be real, what will we do without sports? I’ve already watched Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals twice now on YouTube. We need sports, now more than ever. Follow Kellen on Twitter @KC_Journalism
