Enrollment freeze will only worsen problems

California State University officials see that closing the doors for enrollment as a solution towards the budget crisis, but by doing so they’re taking away the chance for students to create a better life for themselves. Axing thousands from the opportunity to attend college will not only hurt the future of the economy but the future of education as well.

Trayvon Martin Shooting is All About Race

The Trayvon Martin shooting unavoidably has race written all over. Martin’s skin color, George Zimmerman’s racial background, even the teenager’s hoodie. Now set that aside, and one is left with initial problem. What right did Zimmerman have to interrogate Martin in the first place? He is not a police officer.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has invested in a $54 million ad campaign, graphically depicting the realities of diseased smokers for the next 12 weeks.

Religion and Politics, Two Different Ideologies

The First Amendment in the Bill of Rights emphasizes the importance of separation of church and state. Both the Bible and the Bill of Rights agree on the fact that religion and politics do not mix, just like oil and water. At one point or another, they are bound to disconnect due to the differences of ideological values and components.

Healthcare lies in the hands of Supreme Court

The United States Supreme Court is currently considering whether the healthcare reform act signed by President Obama in March 2010 is constitutional.  Although the act may not be perfect, it has made healthcare more accessible and affordable to millions of Americans, and has especially benefited young adults.

Bullies must be held responsible for suicides

In the current Rutgers University case involving the September 2010 suicide of 18-year-old freshman Tyler Clementi, his ex-roomate Dharun Rhavi was convicted Friday on fifteen charges including invasion of privacy, the hiding and tampering of evidence, and bias intimidation, in other words, a hate crime.

Protesters’ verbal attacks cloud messages to Board

On Friday June 14th, from 9 to 1pm outside studios
On Friday June 14th, from 9 to 1pm outside studios across Los Angeles, members of SAG-AFTRA and the WGA took to the streets for the first day of a historic double strike. This marked the 1st day of picketing for striking actors, and the 73rd day for members of the Writer's Guild. 

The picket line outside Netflix's Sunset Blvd. studio was described by WGAW strike captain Henry Gammill as, "a very friendly riot."

Happy summer! 🌻☀️Students and staff away fr
Happy summer! 🌻☀️Students and staff away from PCC for the summer are missing out on several floral blooms across campus right now: 

1. The common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), a true fan-favorite. Sunflowers are native to North America and Mexico. 🌻

2. Acanthus is more commonly known as bear's breeches. This plant is native to Europe and Africa and its leaves bear toothed edges below delicate petals. The plant is considered invasive in California. 

3. A drought-resistant Lophostemon confertus tree is in full bloom. Native to Australia, these trees are sometimes called vinegar trees due to a smell caused by a substance within the tree after its twigs break or snap. 

4. Lobelia erinus (commonly called edging lobelia) is a small but vibrant flowering plant native to southern Africa and gathered in a tiny and undeniably cute patch. 

5. Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) native to Texas, is another drought-tolerant flowering plant that pollinators are attracted to. 

6. Myrtus communis, also known as common myrtle is native to the Mediterranean and parts of northern Africa. It has countless bees buzzing for its blooms across from the automotive workshops.
