hands-on training during the rst
semester. Students feel quantityis not an issue because of thequality of training offered in eachclass.“The cinema department and
lm school here help you nd
your voice,” Jason Chang said.“They give you directions, theygive you guidance and they give
you interaction with other lm
-makers too, because for one person alone [it] is very hard toget into this business ... This is agroup effort.”Jason Chang shared his jour-ney as a 19-year-old student to becoming a full-time performingarts technician in the department.When he began his studies atLACC he was unsure of what hewanted to do. After taking sever-al classes he earned an associatedegree in cinema inspiring him to pass on his knowledge to others.Chang returned to City Col-lege as a teacher’s assistant tosatisfy his avocation for guiding
edgling lmmakers. He cur 
-rently works in the cinema de- partment maintaining equipment.Instructors also enjoy shar-ing their craft with students. One particular person is Professor Tom Stempel a full-time facultymember since 1972.“I love teaching at LACC,”Stempel said. “The instructorsin this department are absolutely
rst class. We don’t have the kindof political ghting that other de
-
 partments do and that’s denitely
a good sign.”

os Angeles City Col-lege's Cinema Depart-ment thinks their envi-ronment is different.Students enrollto have an enter-taining experi-ence and stay in order to realize
their dreams. The Hollywood
sign, the lights, cameras and allof the action draws charismaticstudents to LACC's Cinema andTelevision Department, but it isthe faculty that makes them stay.Cinema offers a two-year pro-
gram and is one of the few lm
schools in Los Angeles to offer Stempel attended Yale Uni-versity where he earned a Bach-
elor of Arts degree. He served
in the U.S. Navy for four yearsand later attended UCLA wherehe earned his M.F.A and Ph.D. in
screenwriting. He has written six
 books including his most recent,“Understanding Screenwriting:Learning from Good, Not-quite-so-good, and Bad Screenplays.”One of Stempel’s former stu-dents and cinema major RolandWirywan, hopes to transfer toUCLA Film School in the falland says that his current cinemaclasses are interesting and infor-mative.“I liked [Stempel's] class be-cause he teaches about the his-tory of documentaries and welearned not only the American
Film Student Reects on Achievement at Cannes
 By Abimael Rivera
“Sadie POWER,” a lm by
LACC cinema student, CamiKidder found its place amongthousands of submissions at theFestival de Cannes in France lastMay.More than 4,000 journalists at-tended Cannes to cover one of 
the biggest lm festivals in the
world, which dates back to 1946and has run almost every year 
since. In addition to the lm fes
-tival, the Marche´ du Film (FilmMarket) was created to host buy-
ers and sellers of lms who meetto discuss the lm industry.
“There is nothing routineabout Cannes, it is really a 27-7event,” Kidder wrote for www.seacoastonline.com during her trip to Cannes.Kidder studied theater artsat Keene State College and is afull-time student at LACC. Shewas able to attend the festivalthrough The American Pavilion’sStudent Program, which offers
internships to lm students. The
 program reaches out to approxi-mately 150 students like Kidder every year for an opportunity to
learn more about the major lm
market.On the French Riviera eachday, movie screenings began at8 a.m. with the last screeningshowing at midnight or later.Kidder attended three red carpetscreenings, which required her towear gowns.“Even if you are not a star,you get to walk on the carpet,”Kidder wrote. “I had a few of myown paparazzi moments.”She was a little more casual,however, when attending other festival related events. She devel-oped a unique marketing strategy
for her lms. She would wear a
tiara, a Red Sox jersey or bothat the same time during her six-hour shifts as a waitress. It was part of the internship opportunity.“One could argue, and manydid, that I drew the short straw by being assigned to wait tables inthe restaurant,” Kidder wrote for the Sea Coast Media Group add-ing that there were other “cooler” jobs that were offered, such as jobs with production companies,sales agents and distributors. “Iused to say after I moved to L.A.that if I ever had to work in a res-taurant again I’d shoot myself inthe head. But I will refrain fromsuch an activity, as it is only for two weeks.”When students were notwalking the red carpet they wereworking at coffee bars, confer-ence centers or with any other sponsor or company doing busi-ness at the festival. This givesstudents the opportunity to meetwith industry professionals.Kidder was at the right placeat the right time which enabledher to obtain the "Market Guide",a reference directory which listseveryone from every countrywho is in the industry and atCannes, complete with picturesof the players, phone numbersand e-mail addresses. This book is given only to people who arelisted and is not for sale. Kid-der received it through a couplethat ran the Fort Lauderdale FilmFestival during one of her shiftsat a restaurant at Cannes.Although Kidder did not
manage to sell lms on her own,
she said her trip to Cannes was a“very important experience.” She
recommends other lmmakersnd internships like The Ameri
-can Pavilion Student Program.Kidder advises students to formtheir own network.“I expected a little more guid-ance in a foreign country andhaving to travel a lot and speak alanguage I did not know so well,”Kidder said.At the Festival de Cannes,Kidder learned all she could
about work in a major lm mar 
-
ket with both short lms and fea
-ture documentaries.“It’s a form of strength in this business to be as diverse in your skills as you can,” Kidder said.

Treasuring Home-GrownHollywood
D
ear fellow students of Los Angeles City Col-lege, the “Collegian”would like to introduce the
“Home-Grown Hollywood”
issue. Take a moment and joinus as we acknowledge the ac-complishments of our cam- pus’ artistic history and alum-ni. After all, we happen toshare a campus that was oncegraced by great actors, in-cluding Morgan Freeman andClint Eastwood. Respectedindividuals such as L.A. CityCouncilmen, Tom LaBongeand Bernard Parks, U.S. Dis-trict Court Judge Lourdes Gil-lespie Baird, and Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright, CharlesGordone also attended thiscollege.The seductive sex symbol,Marilyn Monroe, referred to
Hollywood as “a place where
they’ll pay you a thousanddollars for a kiss and 50 centsfor your soul.” Although akiss these days is rather over- priced, and sex does seem tosell, many LACC students are proving that they have soul,and it is worth far more than50 cents.As you may have read in past issues, filmmaker andLACC student, Cami Kidder, produced an extraordinaryfilm that took her all the wayto the Cannes Film Festival inFrance. There was also a fea-ture written on legendary the-atre director and chair of theTheatre Academy, Fred Fate,who brings mesmerizing pro-ductions to City College timeafter time.Another article mentionedAl Rossi, the Theatre Acad-emy director who broughtmemorable plays such as “TheOdd Couple.“ These are threeof countless individuals whohave set this college apartfrom the other schools, and se-
cured its title as a Hollywood
landmark.This historic campus tells atale as diverse and proud as thestudents who strolled throughits halls. For 80 years, the“Collegian” has documentedaccomplishments, tragedies, productions, events, and high-lighted the musical and theat-rical performances on campus.The extraordinary performersat LACC are as diverse as thecolors of a rainbow. Chris-tians, Muslims, Jews, Bud-
dhists and Hindus share the
stage in the Theatre Academy.Caucasian, African-American,Middle-Eastern, Asian, Latin,and Armenian students pro-duce rhythmic melodies in uni-
son at the Clausen Hall.As Hollywood continues to
move forward and set the inter-national standards in the worldof entertainment, LACC is thefirst to move with it.When the Theatre Academycelebrated its 75thanniversary,star alumni such as Cindy Wil-liams, "Laverne and Shirley,"
Mark Hamill, "Stars Wars,"
Annette Cardona, "Grease,"Maggie Roswell, voices for "the Simpsons" and Bill Ew-ing, former Vice President of Columbia Pictures, gatheredtogether to perform. Theywatched montages, and sharedstories of their time at LACC.We are one of a limited number of colleges that can boast aboutsuch an impressive group of successful entertainment-in-dustry individuals.On the campus that gives“everyone a chance to suc-ceed,” sit back and take thetime to read through the pages
of the “Home-Grown Holly
-wood” issue. As new build-ings emerge and give a freshface to this legendary campus,LACC professors are moldingthe next group of City Collegestar alumni.Dear Editor:
A
fter having read LACCOperations Manager Lawrence Busey's let-ter (The Collegian, Vol. 160, #2; page 2), I found myself simmer-ing in indignation.Busey exhorts LACC stu-dents to "Wake up!" But I positit is Busey who should wake up.While the original topic that ex-cited Busey was bathrooms oncampus, his staff—like the bath-rooms they should service—re-quire far more oversight than is being extended.I have watched the golf-cartdriving operations staff speedingaround and nearly run into eachother in the walkway between theFinancial Aid and Special Servic-es offices—where the majority of  blind people on campus may befound. (If the operations can onlynarrowly avoid running into eachother while whipping their golf carts around small, highly popu-lated spots on campus, surely itis but a matter of time before a blind person is injured.) I havewatched Busey's staff pilot thegolf carts with one hand holdinga drink and wearing earplugs at-tached to iPods or similar musicdevices. I have watched his staff use the golf carts to speed downthe sidewalks along Vermontfrom the north end to the south— for no more than a bit of break-fast for which they could havewalked to obtain, from the Jack in the Box on Vermont—andmake a nuisance of themselvesto the couple hundred studentsstreaming out of the Red LineStation on their way to the 9 a.m.class. I have watched staff mem- bers park their golf carts in the breezeway with the vending ma-

chines, blocking students' access,so the operations personnel couldchat up young females or thehave idle conversations with the person stocking the vending ma-chines. I have watched Busey'sstaff smoke in front of signs thatclearly state that smoking within20 feet of the sign (or the door on which the sign is posted) is il-legal.I have most of the aforemen-tioned events recorded on video.This brings into questionBusey's comment about "thestaff [being] committed to mak-ing [LACC] the flagship of the
district." He asks for our support,
and I am offering it: instill somediscipline and common sense inyour staff.But back to the campus bath-rooms that has Busey so excited.I am wondering when the Staplessheet will be removed from the plastic sleeve in the men's roomin the new Child DevelopmentBuilding. It has been there for two months, and I understand itis meant for the daily cleaningchecklist.Sincerely,
Randall Fleming

What I Like about LACC
ChasingMy Goals
New StudentDreams ofNew Campus
ChasinMy gals
 By Joe Jackson
W
hat I like about LosAngeles CommunityCollege is that it hasall the different classes one cantake. The variety of academiccourses are simply awesome!For example, if you want to bea music major, LACC offersmany classes that will enable youto do so. The instructors at thecollege are from many differentcountries, and the teachers are
qualied to teach. Many of the
instructors who teach at LACC,such as John Freitas, who is thehead of the chemistry depart-ment, have doctorial degrees.Also, many of the instructorswho teach at the community col-lege are nice people and havecongenial personalities.There is a large number of students who attend the college
who are getting nancial aid.
This college gives a great amountof money to its students in need.For instance, if I were not get-ting a fee waiver, there stands astrong chance that I could not at-tend this college. I am sure that

t is hard enough to nd one’s
way around a new campuswithout the looming danger 
of walking face rst into a chain-
link fence around every corner.It would be great if some of the new money were used towardupgrading the bathroom facilities.Why are bathrooms alwaysleft out of grand renovation plans? Facilities are currently ad-equate, but the off-white tile andindirect lighting makes it feel likea hospital thriller movie about togo awry. It would be nice for ger-maphobes if there were a way toget out of the bathroom withouttouching the door handle, thusnegating any prior hand-washing.I am just the latest in a loud
I nd their tactics to be in
-credibly off-putting. It seems thatif their agenda were so inspiring,they wouldn't need to be so ag-gressive in securing supportersfor their movement.I spoke with a few "volun-teers" at their table who actuallyaren't volunteers at all, at leastnot all of them. They were hesi-tant to tell me how or if they got paid. What do they have to hideand why does it matter if they are paid or not? I asked one younggentleman whether or not he got paid, and he responded by tellingme "not really." When I pressedhim to explain why he was beingso ambiguous about a simple yesor no question, one of his cohortsresponded by letting me knowthat they receive a stipend.Why be so hesitant to sharethis kind of information if they'renot trying to pull the wool over our eyes in some regard? One hasto wonder why they're trying tocome off as "volunteers" whenthey actually get reimbursed for their time by having living ex- penses fully paid.That was not the only oddexperience I had with the volun-teers. I mentioned that I mighttake a picture of them at their table for a school project andone of the volunteers threatened
to sue me if I did. He refused to
acknowledge that they were on public property, which allowedme the right to photograph them.Again, why the need to be so se-cretive about their organization?This response seemed shady andcompletely antithetical to their whole reason for being there,which I thought was to spreadawareness about their organiza-tion and the programs offered.If you are thinking of joiningthe La Rouche team, I would sug-gest you do so with hesitancy asthey don't want to operate under amodel of transparency. All of thisleads me to believe that they havesomething to hide.
To Cosolidate ornot to Cosolidate
 By Lisette Alvarez

ollege is expensive.Students may takeout loans to decreasethe burden, but what hap- pens if one doesn’t pay it back? One’s loan goes intodefault. Which prevents onefrom receiving any aid un-til the loan is brought back to good status. There is noneed to fret: that is whenconsolidating a loan comesto the rescue. Or does it?Consolidation is the termused to describe lumping all past and current loans intoone convenient payment.The purpose to consolidatefor most students is to bring past loans into good statusso that aid can be received.
However, there are some
risks involved if one con-solidates any loans that are indefault.What most students don’tknow is that despite the factthat the loan will be put in goodstanding after one consolidates,it will still show up as having been put in default status periodon one’s credit report. In the longrun, this might damage any stu-dent’s chances of applying for acar loan, home loan, and or anyother types of private funding.In some cases, a negative rat-ing on one’s credit report will takeup to seven years to be erased.But during the time in between,a default status on one’s credit re- port can lower your FICO score,resulting in not being able to ob-tain a low annualized percentagerate (APR)when getting a creditcard.So what does one do if a loanis in default? Fortunately, mostlenders have a rehabilitation program that requires one tomake consecutive paymentsto bring the loan to good sta-tus. The downside: one mighthave to wait up to a year. Theupside, once a loan is broughtto good status, the defaultwill be removed from one’scredit report, and thus allow-ing to continue to receive aidif still in school. But at that point, do not forget to sub-mit an in school defermentrequest which allows one todefer payments until after graduation.So if one has the needfor speed, then by all meansconsolidate. But remember this: preventing the defaultsof today could actually bringalong more money in the fu-ture.chorus of students grumblingabout the construction, lend-ing my voice and following thehorde. I am sure once all is saidand done, nailed and painted, wewill all be in awe of our new fa-cilities.The construction will be a dis-tant memory as we sip lattes fromTully’s and surf the WiFi whilehaunting Twitter and Facebook and Google and any number of web sites.Currently, the campus looksas if it were tossed into the air whole and splintered into a dozen pieces upon impact. They mightalso take down the “Nuclear Shelter” placards as the Cold War threat from the USSR has wanedover the years.
