Signed letters or emails are welcomed, appreciated and must include authors’ name. editor’s note BY sAsHA MiLeNA When I learned about Cal State Long Beach student Jordan Seggman and how he started a charitable business out of a dorm room, I immediately knew that his story had to be told. Seggman’s story about Drop Goods is so compelling because he’s just a regular guy from Riverside, Calif. who goes to class every day just like you and me, but decided to be more than just an average student. I finally met the man behind the bracelets at the cover photo shoot, where he graciously posed for our new photographer. Dig has featured original student photography on the cover of every issue since September. This issue was no exception when Dig Photo Editor Natalie Bouroumand brought on CSULB photo major Jonathan Castillo to take Seggman’s photos. If you live in Long Beach, especially near downtown, you might not need an alarm clock this month. The thundering sounds of race cars practicing in the wee hours of the morning can only mean one thing: The Long Beach Grand Prix has arrived. Our city becomes inundated with motorsport fans from around the world, but locals can partake in the fun as well. In “Driving Sideways,” we take a look at an alternative motorsport that will take on the streets of Long Beach this month - Formula Drift. For those looking for a more mellow experience, the LA Times Festival of Books held at the University of Southern California is sure to please book lovers. You’ll also find CSULB professor Charles Harper Webb reading poetry excerpts from his new book, “What Things Are Made Of.” Speaking of what things are made of, it also happens to be Earth Day this month. Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect on the impact we have on our planet. At CSULB, many students make the environment a priority. Turn to page 11, to see what other students are doing for Mother Earth and to see what you can do for the planet this month. From smoking tires to going green, we’ve got you covered this month.
