What you see before you is a result of change.
The cost of printing continues to rise as advertising rev-enues and academic budgets fall. It’s true not just for general
readership and big city publications, but for college newspapers as well. The new el Don you’re holding in your hands combines the urgency and seriousness of newspapers with the impulsive fun of maga-zines. The paper may be smaller, but there’s more than one good way of telling stories. We’re shoring up our digital presence, with videos and Soundslides on our website. Change is good, but some things never change. We’re committed to bringing you the best college news source in America. -Blanca Valdivia, el don editor in Chief
FOR-PROFITS BLUNDERNEWS 5 / A government investigation found that four for-profi t colleges, including University of Phoenix, encouraged its students to make false FAFSA statements so they could get bigger loans and grants.

relatively inexpensive at $26 a unit, students still need to pay for books and other class-related materials. Students taking be-tween 12 to 15 units have to pay $300 to $500 for textbooks a semester. Many community colleges in Orange County have also seen a decrease in enrollment. At San-tiago Canyon College about 300 fewer students enrolled this se-
mester. Golden West dropped by more than 1,000 students, and Coastline Community College had about 4,000 fewer students this semester. From summer to spring, SAC met its FTES projections. “The full time equivalent students are where they’re supposed to be,” said Peter Hardash, vice chan-cellor of business operations and fiscal services.
The FTE formula is based on those students taking 12 units or more. The state provides funds for each community college depending on how many FTE students are enrolled. The legislature has not yet passed California’s 2010-2011 budget. One consequence is that Cal Grants have not been released to eligible students. “The less people there are, the less diversity, the less classes offered. Students have to go to another campus,” SAC student Mario Duenas said. In the previous budget for 2009-2010, California legislators cut funding for higher educa-tion by 20 percent. Many part-time faculty were laid off and courses and programs were cut. “Students will have trouble finishing their certificates and degrees in a minimal amount of time due to the difficulty in obtaining classes,” Fujimoto said.

Santa Ana College enrollment dropped by more than 1,000 students this semester.
“The economy has definitely caused problems with students attending classes due to cost,” said norman Fujimoto, vice president of academic affairs. The decline in registered students was also the result of a shortage of available classes, difficulty in finding jobs to pay for tuition, and the high cost of textbooks.

Textbook law brings relief tHe u.S. Department of Education enacted the Higher Education Opportunity Act in order to help students battle mounting textbook costs. Under the new law, institutions need to provide textbook information to students during registration in order to give stu-dents time to browse for cheaper copies. “It’s helping us because we get to compare prices online,” student Erik Velazquez said. Publishers also must provide professors with pricing information and a descrip-tion of any revisions made between cur-rent and former editions. Textbooks and other supplemental materials must be sold separately so college students no longer have to buy unnecessary CDs and study guides.

tHe Don expreSS has adjusted store hours in order to compensate for budget cuts. Six cashiers have been laid off. The new hours are 7:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8:40 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Previously, the Express was open all day.

he’s ready to leadWhen raul rodriguez stepped into his new role as chancellor this semester he took on several obstacles facing the rancho Santiago Community College District, which operates Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College. The former Superintendent and President of San Joaquin Delta College replaced retir-ing Chancellor Eddie Her-nandez, who retired in June after 13 years. rodriguez will earn about $315,000 a year, nearly $28,000 a year less than Hernandez. “rodriguez has a statewide reputation as a community college leader, having served
as a college president for more than 15 years,” said Board President larry labrado. “His professional experience demonstrates that he has the knowledge and skills to lead a district of our size and complexity.” “He did his homework. He’s very knowledgeable,” John Zarske, president of the Aca-demic Senate said. In hiring rodriguez, trust-ees took into account his accomplishments at a time when the district confronts falling enrollment numbers and reduced class offer-ings amid deep budget cuts. While in his former role as superintendent, rodriguez expanded San Joaquin’s online course offerings, increased enrollment and raised math and science majors’ transfer rates.
“We had our disagreements, but he was always willing to listen,” Diane Oren, president of the Academic Senate at San Joaquin Delta College said. “He respected the fac-ulty voice.” rodriguez directed a $300 million capital improvement that included construction of a new Math and Science learning Center, library, student services building and athletic facilities, and initiated “go green” programs to reduce San Joaquin Delta College’s carbon footprint. During a recent interview, the new chancellor addressed several of his goals. “Every UC campus, every CSU cam-pus, all the private colleges, they’re all different, they all have different requirements, and there’s no uniformity across the board.”
The Student Transfer Achievement reform Act, Senate Bill 1440, if enacted, will simplify the transfer process between the Califor-nia Community Colleges and California State Univer-sity systems. “We’re on board in keeping up with the progress of this, and doing everything we can in that regard to help it move forward,” said rodriguez. “If we get this completed with CSU, then hopefully UC will follow suit.” rodriguez also commented on facility renovation as a long-term goal. “The facilities issues are pressing at both campuses, Santa Ana College because it’s an old campus and buildings need to be re-placed, especially the Science Building. It’s not adequate for this day and age.”

Aft er spending three years and $70,000 earning a bachelor’s degree in anima-tion from Westwood College, Jeronimo Castro works at UPS and owes half of his student loan. “Th ey said I could apply for scholar-ships and fi nancial aid but I didn’t get either,” Castro said. For-profi t schools may seem an ideal alternative for working students, but as in Castro’s case they don’t always deliver. “Back then, I felt the college would help me out,” he said. “It was a good sales pitch and I got swept away.” For-profi t colleges are established by private companies. A bachelor’s degree
from Westwood College can range form $61,000 to $76,000. A community college education costs between $1,500-$2,500 per year and varies depending on the cost of books. As the economy struggles, students are drawn to programs that require less time to complete. Certifi cates and degrees can be attained in less time at for-profi t colleges. Th e U.S. Government Accountabil-ity Offi ce found that 15 colleges made deceptive statements to applicants. Four colleges encouraged fraudulent practices, including Kaplan University, University of Phoenix, and a division of Corinthian Colleges. University of Phoenix has two locations in Orange County and Kaplan University has cam-puses in riverside and los Angeles. Undercover agents investigated in six states, including California. Th e agents were encouraged to claim false infor-
mation on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Other recruiters exaggerated the potential salary aft er graduation, among other deceptive recruiting tactics. Such schools have no waitlists and less stringent admission requirements. “Most of my class, about 80 percent, waited two or two and a half years just to get into the nursing program aft er completing the prerequisites,” said lourdes Villa, a nursing student at Santa Ana College. Th e California Community Colleges chancellor’s offi ce had an agreement with Kaplan University that allowed students from community colleges to take its online classes. But Barry A. russell, vice chancellor of academic aff airs, terminated the agree-ment stating that the agreement could have a negative eff ect on students and the community college system.

Santa Ana College lost its season opener to rival Fullerton College 41-10 in a non-confer-ence game. This marks the ninth consecutive loss in the “Key to the County” rivalry. The Dons scored first when they capitalized on a second quarter turnover by Fullerton. Chase Lansford hit a 52-yard field goal to give SAC a 3-0 lead early in the second. The Hornets answered with two touchdowns to the brothers Downs to take a 13-3 lead into the half. The first score was a 22-yard touch-down reception by Willie Downs from Darius Banks. Banks connected with the other Downs brother, Lavon, on a 21-yard touchdown pass with 3:41 left in the half. Santa Ana scored early in the second half when Marcus Meraz found EJ Cheatham for a 33-yard touchdown minutes into the third quarter cut-ting the Hornets lead to 13-10. Fullerton answered two minutes later when Banks and Lavon Downs hooked up again, this time for a four-yard touchdown reception to put the Hornets up 20-10. It was all Fullerton after that as the Hornets scored twice more in the third quarter and once in the fourth. Kelvin York scored on a 65-yard touchdown rush before Banks threw his fourth touchdown of the game, this time finding Thomas Clarkson from 35-yards out. The final Hornets score came on a York four-yard touchdown run with just over eight min-utes remaining in the game. This was the 88th meeting between the two schools and 66th consecutive. The Hornets now lead the all-time series 43-41-4.

Using a tough defense, solid offense the men’s soccer team defeated Santa Barbara City
College in their season opener Aug. 31, 2-0 at SAC. While the Dons attempted a number of shots on goal in the first half of the game neither SAC or the Vaqueros were able to put the ball into the net. Early in the second half Dons mid-fielder Ronald Ybarra scored the first goal of the season on a penalty kick. The rest of the half remained score-less until the 87th minute, when Santa Ana defender Gilberto Castaneda scored the final goal of the match on a short cross from a corner kick into an empty net, ending the game 2-0.
Santa Ana’s offensive intensity pres-sured the Vaqueros throughout the game, with the Dons maintaining control of the ball most of the first half. Led by Ybarra and forward Jimmy Bohunita, SAC kept Santa Barbara’s defense struggling to push back against the more aggres-sive Dons. SAC’s defenders kept the Vaqueros from attempting only few shots on goal, with keepers Ivan Rodriguez and Jerrod Stith snuffing out Santa Barbara’s offensive efforts. After the game, defender Ivan Bailon was happy with Santa Ana’s effort. “ It’s a great start for our returners. We have a good team, we just need to connect and trust each other on and off the field,” Bailon said. The Dons play here Friday vs. Mt. San Antonio at 1p.m.

TEXTBOOK REFORM At a time when the slumping economy is limiting college stu-dents’ learning experience, the Higher Education Opportunity Act is meant to help fi ght rising textbook costs. � e law, which took eff ect July 1, requires that publishers provide professors with pric-ing information and a descrip-tion of revisions made between current and former editions. Publishers are also asked to sell textbooks and other supplemen-tal materials separately so that college students no longer have to buy the CDs and study guides if they don’t need to. Another feature of the new law is that institutions now need to provide textbook informa-tion during registration in order to give students time to search through websites such as Ama-
zon.com, half.com and Chegg.com to fi nd cheaper copies of the course books they need. For some students, a book on which they spent $180 the previous semester can now be sold to another student across the country for $150. Other students might try to sell a $200 textbook only to fi nd that a newer edition has been pub-lished and that the edition in their hands can only be sold for $5, if at all. � e textbook industry is a big business. Publishers need to make their money and they can’t do that if students are just sharing books with each other. But the price increase between editions as well as the short time span between each release is outrageous. � is act should help change that.

New textbook law relieves

PAYING MORE FOR LESS COVERAGE
It is ridiculous that insurance premium costs could increase in order for col-lege students to keep healthcare provided through school. College stu-dents between ages 19 and 29 are the cheapest group to insure, but are the largest group in the country without health insurance. As if paying for units, books and Top Ramen isn’t enough, another exaggerated expense is added. Campuses supply healthcare because college students’ finances are low. Campus healthcare centers take care of minor health concerns. Paying a higher premium for the same low-balled cover-age is preposterous. The only benefit coming from this new reform is increased profits for the insurance companies. If Santa Ana College were Facebook and this reform were a status update, I’d click “dislike.” / Cervante Pope
The new health reform bill will allow young adults to be covered regardless of medical background, workplace, or income. College students will be allowed to stay on their parents’ health insurance until they are 26 years old, meaning they will be able to see a doctor for years before having to worry about paying for insurance themselves. If you refuse to pay, you will be fined $750, but why risk not having health insurance in the first place? You never know when you might end up with a broken bone or life-threatening disease. By paying for health insurance you are saving more money in the long run. / Elaiza Armas

LeoneL miguez Q&A
rock en mi SAnGremusic has been Leonel miguez’s energy and inspiration for the past 20 years.
“La música es mi pasión, quiero vivir de ella hasta que me muera,” said miguez in his raspy Argentinian accent. He experienced his first taste of music at 7 when his
grandmother pushed him to sing along with her tango records, creating an ongoing desire to sing. After moving to new York he led alternative rock band “el Leon” for more than 10 years. currently he is performing in orange county as a solo artist. / By JERRy RodRiguEz & JEssica RuElas / el don
When was the first time you played an instrument? i started playing when i was 13 years old, and my first real audi-ence was at a talent show at 14 at my junior high school. That was the start of my stage life.
Did you ever think you would end up where you are today?i always knew what i wanted to do and what my passion is, but when you are young the future seems miles away. So i would say yes and no.
Was there anyone in your life who ever doubted or said, you would never get to where you are today?not in my family. i’m very fortu-nate that my parents supported me always, even though it was not what they wanted for me. They didn’t want me to do it for a living. They would always say, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
You are from Argentina. Where in Argentina and how often do you go back?i am originally from Buenos Aires, and i go back almost every year, depending on my touring schedule. it keeps me refreshed.
In what genre would you place your music?i have been placed in rock en español and even PoP rock en español, and i am ok with that.
What are some of your hobbies?l love to ride my motorcycle, fish-ing and playing poker, but most of
all i am blessed with the greatest friends and i love spending time with them.
During the time you were part of El Leon, what did you learn that has helped you now that you are a solo artist?el Leon has been the best school i could have ever asked for. Being a performer is something you learn and master while on stage. i played a lot of shows with them and i could practically say i’ve learned everything i know from being part of that band.
What have friends and family said about everything that is cur-rently happening in your favor?They are all very excited. most of them say it was about time i took this project into action.
What advice would you give to other musicians?Always follow your heart, listen to comments, advice and critics, but stay on track doing what you believe you were born to do. if it’s meant to happen it will. There is no better taste than succeeding with your true colors and passion.
What phrase best describes you?Always walking on the cliff, taking one more step forward at all times.
