The Scripps Voice

Earlier this semester, voice conducted an informal survey to get some feedback on how our paper was being received. Although the number of participants was small, we at voice got some valuable insight into how the college newspaper is seen on campus.

We were called uninteresting, “weird” and “not really relevant.” We were chastised both for being “written like an opinion,” “a collection of editorials,” and for not publishing more radical opinions or promoting activism. Though some criticized our “self aggrandizing articles on Scripps,” there were also those who said they read voice for its relevance to Scripps. For some, it’s the only news publication they read. And, amid all of the criticism, there were glimmers of praise: “thanks for all of your hard work,” “voice is a good thing to pick up randomly and read,” and “I feel like [voice] is pertinent to me and my life in ways [other 5C news publications] are not.”

Responses were mixed, but we’re working to address as many of the complaints as we can. Though a majority of our changes will be implemented next year, with a new layout and more “news-y” look to the paper, we have been making efforts to respond to reader requests in our past few issues. We have, for instance, taken readers’ suggestions to run a few fashion articles. (A response to which can be found in this issue’s Letter to the Editors. We are making an effort to choose articles that our readers will find relevant and interesting, and have developed more intimate correspondences with our writers to keep them abreast of the publication process. We want to deliver a quality publication to all our wonderful readers, one that can be a source of pride for the entire Scripps community.

And deliver that paper we do. Since the 2009-2010 academic year, voice has been delivered to Scripps students’ doorsteps by our hardworking editorial staff. Though 48 out of 69 people who responded to the survey’s question on our door-to-door distribution of the paper said they appreciated the service, there have also been several complaints about the waste of paper and the fact that students leave their copies of voice in the halls for our housekeeping staff to throw out.

We at voice thank those who responded to our survey, and encourage students to engage with and contribute to discussion about the Scripps community—whether that be through the using the comments sections on our articles, writing letters to us, giving us story ideas or by submitting articles and photos.

As always, voice cannot publish a full issue without the support of the community, and we welcome further conversations on our website as well as more constructive suggestions.

In honor of our passionately anti-paper readers, and in acknowledgment of Earth Day on April 22, voice is trying something new. This issue is going green. That means no 12-page newsprint doormat, no bench-warming newsroom stack and—most importantly—no voices being disposed of, unread.

In our Feb. 12, 2010 issue, voice columnist Allie Lockwood voiced her opinion that, in this modern age, our articles should switch from paper and publish online (Scripps College Online). Well, Ms. Lockwood, you’ve got your wish.

Your Editors-in-Chief,

On April 1, students and alumni of the Claremont Colleges launched the start-up company ProfessorDibs. It is based on the idea of a daily coupon—such as Living Social or Groupon—but is exclusive to students and professors of the 5Cs.

Mike Goldberg (PZ ’10) came up with the idea two years ago. However, as a member and captain of the Pomona-Pitzer baseball team, he was not able to focus his energy on ProfessorDibs until after graduation. He was joined by Briana Lassig (PZ ’10) as well as other 5C students and alumni.

Larger websites, such as Groupon, have a greater variety of deals which causes the deals to be very hit-or-miss. Since deals on ProfessorDibs are personalized for Claremont, they are more likely to be “things Claremont students actually want and need: movie tickets, frozen yogurt, awesome restaurants, drinks and more,” said Lassig.

“What’s important for students to realize is that we’ve been there,” Lassig said. “We know college students have a million things to worry about but money shouldn’t be one of them. Claremont is a college town, so that means students are as important to retailers as retailers are to students. So why not work together?”Another thing that sets ProfessorDibs apart from its competition is the close connection it has to the 5Cs and the greater Claremont community. Each week The Professor offers a “Give Dib” in which a percentage of the earnings go to various community or school groups. This allows Claremont students to save money while helping their community.

The coupons are usually about 50 percent off retail prices. To check out the daily dibs for yourself, go to www.professordibs.com.

By President Elect Antoinette Myers ’12

Hello Scripps! What an honor it is to be writing to you from my desk as the new SAS President Elect for the upcoming 2011-2012 school year. When I first arrived at Scripps, I would not have guessed that I would be in such an important position on campus. But, alas, I am here for only one reason: to be the best facilitator of discussion that I can be. As a first generation, working class student and only the third Black woman to be elected as SAS President, I am truly honored and humbled to serve my community here at Scripps.

The biggest key word that we all are so used to hearing is COMMUNITY. But what should our Scripps community look like? While we may not ultimately have the same vision of what our community should be, I hope that as a student body we can begin to have more grounded conversations on race, gender and class. In “The Art of Conversation,” President Bettison-Varga urged us to feel comfortable calling her Lori. This request was part of a blog post in which she made herself extremely vulnerable, in a way that I have not seen of an administrator before. With that gesture, I believe she wants us to begin allowing ourselves to be open with each other, in hopes that we can truly build a collective unlike any other college campus.

I believe that becoming this sort of open community is truly possible, considering just how small our population is. What I want to see is a larger unified community outside of specific friend circles and dorm hallways. When I see another Scripps student that I may not know, I should feel comfortable approaching her and starting a conversation. I find that the most rewarding conversations of my day come from random encounters with Scripps students. Students with whom I have never had in class, students I don’t live near. Even if I cannot strike up a deep, philosophical conversation, the least I can do is say hello.

In my thoughts for next year, I often wonder if there are reasons why Scripps students feel their voices are not being heard. From my own personal experience, I find that being forthright and honest about what I would like to see happen at Scripps is the most productive method of discussion about our campus. I have noticed that in our community we have a lot of uncertainty about what we can do, who we can talk to and what kind of processes we have to go through to get things done. I hope to eradicate confusion and miscommunication about what can be done on our campus by sending out a fact about Scripps with every one of my SAS updates. For example, did you know that the Student Union is painted a color called Scripps White? Did you also know that students can file a formal, confidential complaint against a staff member at the Human Resources office in Vita Nova?

In the coming year, I look forward to having more open and honest conversations about who we are as a collective student body and community, what we want our image to be and what we want our campus to look like. We are the most powerful voices and I think it is time that we truly begin to use them. I am sending you all best wishes for the end of the semester and my warmest congratulations to the graduating class of 2011!

Next year, I hope to be a person that you feel comfortable approaching during your time here on campus. Whether I have my long braids or my afro, I am sure that you will always see me running around. Do not ever be afraid to stop me and ask questions, or just say hello.

Growers spend roughly five billion dollars cultivating that which—in California, at least—is only legally available to those who can prove their medical need. The resonance of the U.S. agricultural investment that is Cannabis lies not just in the plant’s presence in the fiscal sphere. It is a crop whose tenuous legal status and the subsequent means of cultivating it—using indoor sources of heat and light—implicate it in issues of power.

A new study reveals that the production costs of the United States’ largest cash crop—marijuana—make up one percent of the nation’s total electricity production. Marijuana has a surprisingly large carbon footprint. It’s estimated that one joint of marijuana represents almost 2 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. The energy used to cultivate marijuana represents 3 percent of California’s electricity use, 30 hours spent running a 100-watt light bulb for that single joint.

A scientist from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory conducted a study that found that the majority of energy consumed in marijuana production is a result of inefficient methods of heating and lighting used to keep indoor cannabis production hidden from law enforcement. The requisite secrecy for those who grow the crop illegally has an accompanying inefficiency. Being unable to police marijuana production also means being unable to police its inefficient energy expenses.

Greenhouse gas emissions can be regulated through programs and legislation when the energy demand is acknowledged and addressed in a realistic context. The electricity demand from marijuana cultivation must be acknowledged as such to be adequately standardized. California’s Air Resources Board could implement policies that set efficiency standards on marijuana production, or use city zoning in favor of medical marijuana cultivation, if only it were acceptable to acknowledge the reality of the plant’s production beyond the narrow scope of medical dispensaries.

Ashok Amritraj, CEO and Chairman of Hyde Park Entertainment and Hyde Park International, spoke at Vita Nova Hall on April 19 as part of an event sponsored by Intercollegiate Media Studies and Scripps Career Planning and Resources. The event was free and open to all 5C students, faculty and staff.

Intercollegiate Media Studies (IMS) at the Claremont Colleges is an interdisciplinary program that investigates social histories, cultural contexts, theoretical approaches and technologies of media forms. The program is oriented toward “independent” narrative forms, documentary, video and digital art and community-based and activist media.

At Tuesday’s event Amritraj showed clips from the films his company has produced, including footage from the not-yet-released “The Double” (featuring Richard Gere, Topher Grace and Martin Sheen). He also discussed how he built a progressive, global independent production company.

“I was not educated in the movie industry,” Armritraj said in a telephone interview before his visit. “I had to learn about it as I went on.” He said that because he came from a different country—India—and was a tennis star with a brother who was also a tennis star, the “family business was tennis” and “it was a real journey” breaking into the business of the movie industry.

Tennis is what brought Amritraj to Los Angeles, when Jerry Buss—who now owns the L.A. Lakers—invited him to play for the Los Angeles tennis team in 1975. Amritraj “took the plunge” into the movie industry by accepting a film role in 1980, but remembers his first five to six years in entertainment as being “very, very tough.” Not only was being an Indian in the United States a struggle in the 1980s, Amritraj said, “Everyone wanted to play tennis with me. Nobody wanted to make a movie.”

When Amritraj played tennis in the 1970s, playing in major tennis tournaments, such as Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, the hotel he stayed at in London overlooked Hyde Park. Amritraj said he had had his “nicest days” there, and the allusion to the park in his company’s name “brings back nice memories.” He sees his perspective as a tennis star as contributing to his business success, in spite of tennis being “such an individual sport,” because it has helped his ability to focus. He said that tennis, like business, requires skills of hard work, discipline, focus and passion. “My office,” said Amritraj, “is where the creative and business meet.”

Amritraj founded the Hyde Park Entertainment Group in 1999. As an independent studio, Amritraj said, Hyde Park Entertainment can “operate like a mini studio” and is, as opposed to Hollywood studios’ “unweildly, long-term process, more efficient.” The company’s international sales arm, Hyde Park International, has represented films such as “Machete,” “Blue Valentine,” “My Idiot Brother” and “Peep World.” Films produced by Hyde Park include “Bringing Down the House,” “Premonition,” “Moonlight Mile,” “Traitor,” “Shopgirl” and “Walking Tall.”

Amritraj’s appearance on Scripps campus was advertised through the IMS website, and provided background on the CEO’s initial forays into the media sphere, including the fact that Hyde Park Entertainment Group partnered with Imagenation Abu Dhabi in November 2000 “on a $250 million financing deal to develop, produce and distribute up to 20 feature films over seven years—with additional financing for the production of cross-cultural films.” This partnership was extended in 2009 to include Singapore’s Media Development Authority in the funding of several films a year, with an estimated production value of “75 million USD over the next five years.”

“Our industry,” said Amritraj, “is one that’s not for the weak of heart. Discipline and perseverance can overcome everything. It’s less about talent and more about passion.”

Every year in Indio, California, music lovers unite for three days under the sweltering sun. Thousands of people, filled with the rush of music and creativity, come together to hear their favorite songs—and maybe discover new artists—against the stunning backdrop of mountains and palm trees. The incredible lineup for this year’s Coachella Music and Arts Festival, featuring big names as well as new bands that are sure to be headliners in the years to come, made this past weekend one which will not soon be forgotten.

This was my second time attending Coachella, but once was enough to completely convert me. Despite the cost, the heat and all the interesting mishaps that are sure to happen along the way, Coachella is a priceless experience. Seeing your favorite artists back to back in such a surreal setting is incredible, amazing, overwhelming. This year, Arcade Fire swept the main stage with an incredible on-stage presence and set up, fulfilling every avid fan’s wildest dream with the quality of their music and their passion in their performance. The climax came with practically everyone in attendance surrounding main stage, singing along to “Wake Up” at the top of their lungs. Giant glowing orbs the size of beach balls cascaded over the face of the stage. I was right up front with one of my best friends and we completely lost it, dancing and bouncing under a blanket of the glowing lights.

Sunday night, Kanye West rivaled Arcade Fire’s performance with his incredible one man act. One man, that is, plus all of the ballerina dancers he brought with him. His entrance set the tone with its expectation-flouting delighting of the audience. While ballerinas danced on the stage, the audience was transfixed. Expectation built for Kanye to burst on stage, but instead he appeared over the crowd on a rotating crane, sweeping full circle over the crowd. Even if you don’t think much of Kanye West as a person, you have to admit that he puts on a hell of a show. He blew the stage up with his presence.

But the presence of Crystal Castles’ lead singer Alice Glass earned both my admiration and my respect. She rocked. Hard. Glass—one badass chick—performed with a broken foot. Instead of letting her foot hold her back, Glass took advantage of the extra props with which to rock. She gyrated on amps, flaunting her protective boot and slinging a crutch. The broken foot didn’t even stop her from crowd surfing, and she continued to wail her croon into the mic even when she fell into the divide between the stage and the crowd. Needless to say, I was extremely impressed with—and have a renewed love for—just how crazy Crystal Castles is.

Though their performances were less intense than the crutch-wielding Crystal Castles or the crane-riding Kanye West, The National and Mumford and Sons both managed to bring their songs to life onstage. It’s refreshing to see they can just as good up onstage in front of their many fans as in studio.

The Black Keys disappointed on main stage. It wasn’t because they didn’t sound good, but rather that they lacked the stage presence of the aforementioned performers. A two man band is just difficult to rock on that huge of a stage. The Strokes, however, had awesome stage presence. I would lop off an arm to hang out with Julian Casablanca at least once a week.

These were all the main acts, but there were performers there for every musical taste, popular, obscure, high-energy or relaxed. Mount Kimbie put on one of the most high quality sets I’ve ever seen, and Boys Noize made everyone go wild, per usual. Indie bands—if you care to classify them as such—like Best Coast, Delorean and Glasser all sounded great, as did The Morning Benders and Radio Dept.

Long story short, Coachella is an amazing experience because it’s three days away from reality. It’s a world of music, art, liberation and friends! If you ever get the chance to go, the experience is sure to leave a lasting impression on you.

We at voice were recently contacted by Ford Motor Company. The representative from Ford said she was interested in providing college students with “relevant and up to date information” from experts, to help address “rising gas prices, smart technology and green issues (as they relate to vehicles).”

We informed Ford that not too many students at the Claremont Colleges have cars, that biking tends to be sufficient means for getting around on campus and students tend to use van rentals through the College, or check out Zipcars or take the Metrolink or bus system to get out of Claremont. But, since we know 5C students are passionate about green issues—and this issue of voice is an extra-special green issue—we were curious as to just what Ford’s experts were so eager to tell us.

We wanted to know whether Ford had any sort of insight on transportation resources as they are available to Claremont College students, why students should be interested in Ford Motor Company even if they’re not necessarily driving a Ford car (or won’t be buying their own vehicle for another few years). Here’s what Dan Pierce, environmental communications manager for Ford Motor Company, had to say in response:

Ford had the insight years ago to invest billions in significantly improving the fuel economy of smaller, more affordable vehicles, while not sacrificing the technology and fun-to-drive features we know college students care about.

For example, Ford’s all-new Fiesta gets 41 miles per gallon and has class-leading in-vehicle technology. Other automakers tend to skimp on technology in small cars to make them more affordable, but Ford has found ways to include these features while keeping the car affordable. More Fiestas are sold in [the Claremont] area than anywhere else in the country, with a large percentage of those buyers being college grads and first-time buyers.

Additionally, Ford’s Transit Connect Electric is an attractive option for many university campuses because it is 100 percent electric but still meets the needs of the commercial segment. Many college campuses are excited to incorporate them into their fleets to help make their campuses greener.

Finally, Ford experts have compiled eco-tips to help all drivers conserve fuel and save money at the pump, while at the same time helping the environment and improving traffic safety.

1. Slow down and watch speed – Drive 55 miles per hour instead of 65 to save fuel. EPA estimates a 10-15 percent improvement in fuel economy by following this tip. Also, aim for a constant speed. Pumping the accelerator sends more fuel into the engine. Using cruise control whenever possible on the highway helps maintain speeds and conserve fuel.
2. Accelerate and brake smoothly – Accelerating smoothly from a stop and braking softly conserves fuel. Fast starts, weaving in and out of traffic and hard braking wastes fuel and wears out some of the car components, such as brakes and tires, more quickly. Maintain a safe distance between vehicles and anticipate traffic conditions to allow for more time to brake and accelerate gradually.
3. No idling – Today’s engines don’t need a warm up. Start the car immediately and gently drive away. Don’t leave your car idling. Prolonged idling increases emissions and wastes fuel. Turn the engine off in non-traffic situations, such as at bank and fast food drive-up windows, when idling more than 30 seconds.
4. Check your tires – Keep tires properly inflated to the recommended tire pressure. This alone can reduce the average amount of fuel use by three to four percent. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance and reduce fuel economy. They also wear more rapidly. Check the vehicle’s door sticker for minimum cold tire inflation pressure.
5. Be kind to your vehicle – Maintain proper engine tune-up to keep vehicles running efficiently. Keep the wheels aligned. Wheels that are fighting each other waste fuel. Replace air filters as recommended. Use a fuel with good detergent additives to keep the vehicle engine clean and performing efficiently. Always consult the Owner’s Manual for proper maintenance.
6. Travel light – Avoid piling a lot of luggage on the roof rack. The added frontal area reduces aerodynamics and will hurt fuel economy, reducing it by as much as 5 percent. Remove excess weight from the vehicle. Unnecessary weight, such as unneeded items in the trunk, makes the engine work harder and consumes more fuel.
7. Minimize use of heater and air conditioning – Use heating and air conditioning selectively to reduce the load on the engine. Decreasing your usage of the air conditioner when temperatures are above 80 degrees can help you save 10-15 percent of fuel. Use the vent setting as much as possible. Park in the shade to keep car cool and reduce the need for air conditioning.
8. Close windows at high speeds – Don’t drive with the windows open unless your keep your speed under 50 mph. Driving with the windows open at highway speeds increases aerodynamic drag on the vehicle and lowers fuel economy.
9. Choose the right oil – Use good quality oils with the viscosity grade recommended in the owner guide. Ford recommends SAE 5W-20 oil for most cars and trucks to provide the best fuel economy. Only oils “certified for gasoline engines” by the American Petroleum Institute (API) with the starburst symbol should be used.
10. Consolidate trips – Plan ahead to consolidate your trips. This will enable you to bypass congested routes, leading to less idling.

Dear Scripps voice,

As a newly-avid reader, I cherish the fact that Scripps has its own media outlet that is not overshadowed by the Student Life or the CMC Forum.  I love the fact that confident, courageous and hopeful Scripps students can literally “voice” their own opinions about the events and issues concerning Scripps women and their larger community.  I take voice to be a representation of the Scripps atmosphere and the Scripps mentality: Open and welcoming, while still being intellectual and thought-provoking.  voice, as a student-run newspaper, should be illustrative of the Scripps student as a hard-working, creative, ingenious woman.

I do not think that voice truly personifies the Scripps woman in your “Scripps Style” articles from your past two Features sections.

Sure, the section in your last issue was lighthearted, interesting and fun. Albeit vapid and shallow.  In fact, I was originally fine with the article concept.  I assumed that, with a not-so-newsworthy week, perhaps the voice staff was thinking of creative and exciting ways to spice up the more than half a page that was left over after all of the “real news” had been addressed.  In fact, I had fun looking at my classmates, seeing where they got their fashion inspirations and where they bought their wardrobes.

As a student who’s been wearing the same straight-legged jeans since high school and loves re-wearing old, baggy sweaters from my brother and fathers’ closets, obviously fashion isn’t really so much of a passion of mine so much as a necessary nuisance.  It’s evident that we have some very fashionably-enlightened students here at Scripps–I notice every time I step foot in the Motley and someone’s wearing a hipster/grunge/hippy/Idon’tevenknow-chic “trying-to-look-like-I’m-not-trying” outfit, or when I stumble into the Humanities Courtyard and see what seems like endless students in their beautiful sundresses and perfectly coiffed side-braided hair.  Without a doubt our students know how to put clothes on their backs.  But do we really need to showcase these sorts of talents?  Is voice aiming to truly display the intellectual beauty of Scripps students, or merely aiming to passively address our culture’s consumerist craze?

It wasn’t until the article in this past issue that these questions really concerned me.  The caption exclaiming the “hit” of the last Scripps Style article continued with a goal to “keep up the good work” (wait, really?) and explained a new plan to feature “one of your fashionable classmates in each issue.”  Okay, voice. I get it. Using up half a page that probably wouldn’t go to anything else, it’s good to use it addressing the wonderfully diverse, intelligent, amazing students we have on campus.  But, are these REALLY the type of things we want to showcase?  This article (and apparently this new recurring feature) brings women back decades into the vapid, intellectually immature, clothing-obsessed, consumer of the 1950s.

Not to insult anyone, I do treasure (and am quite jealous of) our students’ fashion awareness. But does it really matter that Ms. Carlson has “been rocking some variation of hats, bows and dresses since a very young age”?  Can we not use this space to highlight our students’ intellectual, musical and athletic talents?  A one-time thing was fine, but I know for a fact there are several incredible, motivated and brave students who better, at least in my opinion, demonstrate what it means to be a Scripps student than wannabe fashionistas.

I implore you, for the sake of our Scripps students and for the sake of womankind everywhere, to not resort to perpetuating this societal-induced fashion craze, but instead to break the barriers of social norms, and focus on the inner beauty of our amazing Scripps women.

Sincerely,

Rachel Weiner ’13

Since the near government shut down earlier this month, Democrats and Republicans alike have taken sides in the fiscal debate concerning the enormous U.S. deficit. First-year Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin (R), an unlikely candidate, offered a plan for financial reform. His plan, “A Path to Prosperity,” has inspired nationwide protest due to its calls for extreme cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. President Obama also offered a budget proposal, calling for spending cuts such as the end to Bush-era tax cuts for families earning over $250,000, in order to decrease the trillion dollars of U.S. debt.

While some of the repercussions for the two different plans are obvious—President Obama’s plan caters to liberals in favor of taxation while Congressman Ryan’s proposal appeals to Republicans desiring less government involvement—the effects of the both on the green movement are mostly unknown. The reason for government spending’s seeming lack of concern toward the green initiative stems largely from the belief that there are more important issues to worry about in the economy, such as job creation, education, the mortgage crisis and social services. Essentially, funding that the government has slashed at every given opportunity.

Attempting to take a closer look at the budget proposals’ consequences for the green movement proved more difficult than I had originally anticipated. Most news coverage focused on the most controversial issues that the budgets proposed, with Medicare, Medicaid and tax cuts for the rich competing for headlines. Only after actually scanning the budget proposals, searching for any mention of the Departments of Energy or Interior, did I find some of the densest charts of fiscal management that I—and probably many Americans—have ever seen.

President Obama’s summary tables cut surprisingly little of the money toward the green movement. In fact, government funding for the Department of the Interior and the Department of Energy are actually set to increase by 2019, going from $12.1 billion to $12.9 billion for the former and $16.6 billion to $20.9 billion for the latter. The only cut toward the environment seems to be a decrease in the Environmental Protection Agency from $10.3 billion dollars to $9.6 billion dollars.

Congressman Ryan’s summary chart tables seem at first to break down spending into larger categories—Security, Global War on Terror, Medicaid, Medicare, etc.—while grouping much of the budget into a slightly confusing category labeled “Other Mandatory.”  One of the last charts, however, shows that his goal for “Natural Resources and Environment” plans to reduce spending from $40 billion dollars to $26 billion by 2021, a 35 percent decrease in funding. He also plans to cut financial support from $7 billion down to $1 billion in a slightly ambiguous category simply labeled “Energy.” Looking more closely at the fine print from Ryan’s plan—curiously, in the “Eliminating welfare for energy companies” section—I found that he states that spending cuts are best in the “non-core functions,” meaning that green initiative “development projects [are best] left to the financial sector.” Most of his irritatingly long sentences are difficult to dissect, but what I can gather from Congressman Ryan’s proposal is that the private sector should take charge of green development.

In order for private companies to change their development toward more sustainability, they need incentives. And most incentives are provided by the government. Unless companies have a reason to stop using the Earth’s finite resources for their own capitalistic gain, they will not change their ways. Changing the status quo means waiting years, possibly decades, for a turnover in profits, something most companies can’t afford in the current economic climate. I don’t believe that the federal government should completely fund the green movement, but without its help, how will the private sector begin?
