BC talks local
civil rights
By Tiffiny Wright
Reporter
Tuesday Oct. 15 the Levan
center hosted Professor
Oliver Rosales for Hispanic
Heritage Month to talk
about his book “Civil Rights
in Bakersfield: Segregation
and Multiracial Activism in
the Central Valley.”
The Bakersfield College
History Club organized and
volunteered at the event setting
up the chairs and telling
the students where to go.
Many students and staff
showed up for Rosales’ talk,
standing and sitting on the
ground once the chairs ran
out.
The event consisted of Rosales
talking about the chapters
in his book and what
each one covers in the history
of Bakersfield and the
wider areas.
Rosales said that he wrote
this book because it was very
close to home as his family is
from Bakersfield and it is a
subject that is not very well
written about or researched
regarding civil rights and activism
in Bakersfield.
“How do you destroy a
people? You destroy their
history” said Rosales about
why it’s important to cover
local history.
After the discussions of the
book by Rosales he opened
the floor to allow questions
from the audience. Several
students asked questions
about the book including details
about the writing of the
book and what is included in
it.
Rosales explained that this
book has been being written
since 2003 and started
as his dissertation topic before
he decided to write the
book which has been peer
reviewed.
Rosales talked about how
Kern County and Bakersfield
has a lot of history
that has yet to be explored
through research since his
book mostly covered the civil
rights movement and up
until the 1980s talking about
the important activists and
events that shaped Bakersfield
and its greater area even
still.
The history club held a free
raffle of 25 of the books to
give to students for free that
could be signed by Professor
Rosales.
Currently Rosales is trying
to get the book into the public
libraries. It can currently
be found in the BC Library.

Importance of self-defense
By Esme Garcia
Reporter
Bakersfield College puts on a humorous
yet important performance of
“How to Defend Yourself ” written by
Liliana Padilla.
Trigger warning, the play does have
foul language, defensive exercises, and
some sex talks with intimate movements.
There are some scenes that
might be sensitive to viewers but after
all, these are things that people do experience.
Padilla’s play follows college students
who participate in classes that teach you
self-defense. The students have joined
this course after a girl in a sorority was
hospitalized from an assault that included
rape.
During these classes we get to hear
different points of views of that night
from the characters. When the characters
discuss where they were that night
and what they saw, we can see fear and
guilt have taken them over.
These scenes were powerful because
it sends the message to be aware of
your surroundings. Especially at parties
because you could become the victim
or possibly save someone from becoming
the victim.
Audience member Maria Arias said
that she enjoyed the play. “There were
a lot of uncomfy parts, but I see that it
can speak to individuals with that trauma
and experience,” said Arias.
The characters gossiped about sex as
most college students do. While talking
about sex they made it clear that communication
is key.
Some characters show how easy it is
to discuss sex and what you like about
it. Other characters view sex as a more
sensitive subject.The representation
was compelling.
The self-defense class taught different
techniques to stay safe. Like holding
your keys between your fingers like
“wolverine” when walking by yourself,
sharing your location with someone
you trust, or pointing out the important
body parts to target on an attacker.
The play did include that defense
techniques do not always work. Realistically
there are some attackers who are
bigger and stronger than you. There
were great depictions of the hard truth
that do happen in real life.
The play portrayed a lot of scenarios
that could be considered atrocious.
There were plenty of scenes that had
hilarity and included great music.
Overall, the play highlighted the importance
of learning self-defense. They
managed to tackle the factors of safety
while using comedy to uplift the seriousness
of the play’s message.

Boos with booze
By Yahaira Rojas

The anticipation for Halloween is
growing and so is the risk of injuries
and dangerous activities. For college
students who are planning to celebrate
this “Halloweekend,” it is important to
be aware of the dangers that come with
it.
“Halloweekend” is a term popularized
within college communities, the
festivities occur before or on Halloween
to celebrate. Halloween parties
are often common with decorations to
spooky themed foods and drinks. Students
typically dress up in costumes
ranging from superheroes and movie
characters to vampires and memes.
Although it is an exciting time to hang
out with friends and catch a break from
school, it’s important to acknowledge
the risk of overindulging in alcohol or
drugs.
According to the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism it
is reported in 2022, roughly 1,519 college
students are killed from accidental
injuries and car crashes in the United
States. Age range is 18 to 24. This is
due to excessive alcohol consumption
that is taken during “Halloweekend.”
With alcohol consumption comes fatal
issues that can impact the people not
just partaking in the event. According
to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) about 10,000
people die each year due to alcohol related
car crashes in the United States
alone. With students partaking in festivities
during “Halloweekend” it increases
the risk of impaired driving due to
the excessive consumption of alcohol
and drugs.
If you or a friend are taking part in
“Halloweekend” festivities, it is crucial
to prioritize safety for yourself and others.
Designate a driver or arrange transportation
such as an Uber or Taxi. Do
not drive under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. It can lead to fatal consequences.
Some safety tips on how to stay safe
this Halloween are to go with a group
of friends, do not take open beverages
from strangers, or get a ride from
someone who is impaired, avoid walking
alone at night, walk on designated
crosswalks, and always stay alert.
Choose costumes that do not obstruct
your view.
If you happen to come across an impaired
driver report the driver to the police
by dialing 911. Give the dispatcher
as much information as you can such
as the vehicle’s make, model, color, and
license plate, all while staying at a safe
distance away from the possibility of
the driver being impaired.

BC women’s volleyball dominates the court
By Reina Garcia
Reporter
BC women’s volleyball took the victory
against Citrus College on the night of Oct.
18. With a score of 3-0 continuing their
winning streak of 4.
Before the game started, the team
worked just as hard practicing as they did
playing all 3 matches. This showed that
they were confident and ready for what
was to come. The excitement and readiness
that gleamed from the volleyball court
was well expressed through the team and
through the crowd in the stands as well.
The starters for the first match were Lucely
Para, Stevie Yursik, Sunnie Thomas,
Carly Hayes, Chloe Comstock, Kamryn
Briggs, and Amanda Zepeda. BC played
hard to win all 3 matches with the sets of
25-17, 25-17, 25-18.

Bakersfield College celebrated a homecoming victory with a
score of 48-35 on Oct. 19 against Allan Hancock.
The Renegades and Bulldogs were at a steady neck and
neck at the homecoming game. There was a lot of energy in
the stadium.
Allan Hancock was taking the lead in the first quarter with
fourteen points while BC scored seven.
It did not take long for BC to catch up. The Renegades
were the only ones to have scored in the second quarter, evening
out the score to be 14-14. The only interception in the
game occurred in the second quarter by Allan Hancock.
Halftime was kicked off with BC’s Alumni cheerleaders.
Brought on Halloween spirit, the cheerleaders danced to the
beat of Thriller which also included stunts.
Other entertainment consisted of a friendly game of kids
dressing up as football players and doing some football techniques
as a race.
Starting off the second half, both teams exhibited determination.
There was a lot of back and forth between the teams.
Plenty of good defense from both sides that intensified the
game.
Beginning the second half with an even score, BC took
the lead as they administered to score 20 points in the third
quarter. This concluded the third quarter score to be 34-21.
on their toes. It was clear to see that both
teams were eager to keep getting scores on
the board.
Although the game kept going back and
forth with many blocks, kills, and attacks
from both teams, Outside Hitter, Stevie
Yursik with 14 kills and 3 block assists, and
Outside Hitter, Kamryn Briggs with 12
kills really stood out throughout the game.
BC really kept their momentum up and
didn’t let Citrus intimidate them. Unfortunately,
Yursik had gotten injured halfway
through the game by trying to block the
ball. She landed on her side and was unable
to get up for a bit making her have to
exit for some time.
Carly Hayes, Middle Blocker, contributed
to many factors of the game as well
by having a total of 36 digs, this shows the
hard work she put in; not just for herself,
but for the team. Overall, the game was
well played amongst BC and Citrus College.
It was definitely an unforgettable one
because of how close each match was, but
luckily, BC just pulled it off.

Like most games, the ending is typically the most intense
part. The crowd was chanting “Let’s go BC, let’s go!” The
community was coming together to hype up the Renegades
for the win.The crowd engaged with each other as a floatie
was being passed around the stadium.
There was one fumble by BC in the fourth quarter. Both
teams scored 14 points in the final quarter.
Overall, there were 12 touchdowns in this game. The Renegades
made home proud by scoring seven touchdowns.
This game put BC back on a winning streak. There are

2024 BC Hall of Fame event
By Joscelyn Martinez
Editor-in-chief
Luigi’s Warehouse hosted Bakersfield
Colleges sports alumni night
and athletic hall of fame event, on
Oct. 16.
The event was dedicated to honoring
current and new hall of fame
inductees on their hard work and
dedication towards their athletics
and accomplishments. Not only
were the inductees honored, but the
1976 BC football team.
The 1976 BC football team had
an 11-1-win record, along with the
title of junior rose bowl and national
champions. They were recognized
and inducted for their winning season.
Each inductee and section of the
event was presented by a televised interview
recorded prior to the event,
and a follow up speech along with a
plaque. The televised interviews gave
insight into the lives of the former student
athletes and how they became the
people they are today.
All speakers at the event told stories,

reminiscent of their times playing or
competing for BC. Their stories set a
nostalgic and emotional tone for the remainder
of the night.
BC instructor Cathie Wilson Jones
was the only female inductee for the
night. She attended North High and
was an all-around track athlete. She
also competed in the California Regional
Junior Olympics
and won the 100, 200,
and 440 low hurdles.
Jones continued her
career at BC and later
transferred to Fresno
State University, where
the javelin became her
signature event.
In 1987, she was involved
in a car accident
that could have prevented
her from ever competing
again. However,
she bounced back stronger
than before and
nearly qualified for the
U.S. Olympic team in
1992.
Jones thanked her
family, coaches and
team for their love and support on her
career.
A common theme in many of the
speeches presented was what it meant
to be a renegade. The inductees all
detailed their experience at BC as life
changing and a time to grow.
All athletes are still proud to call
themselves a Renegade.

Art at BC finds light in the dark
By Kelly Dimas Gonzalez
Reporter
A thought-provoking and
somewhat controversial art
exhibit has come to Bakersfield
College.
Trigger warning: discussion
about sexual assault below.
Autumn Nicole, an artist
who is not a student here,
has a showcase displayed at
The Jones Art Gallery, located
inside the BC library.
There has been much discussion
among students about
the inappropriate items seen
within the exhibit. A few of
the pieces, which are quite
unusual, have sparked significant
conversation. Many
students have passed by the
art gallery and have likely
wondered why all the windows
are covered. A sign
reading “Viewer discretion
is advised,” along with a
trigger warning, is displayed
right outside the door.
Along with that, resources
available are posted as well.

seem to consist of merely a
few body parts; however, it is
much more profound than
that. The artist explains that
she used “casted life-size
candles to represent violence
against bodies that largely go
unreported, leaving behind
only remnants.”
Expression through art is
how many people find comfort
or use it as a symbol for
various issues. She also states,
“Each lit candle represents
an unreported case.”
Parker Slayden, a student
at BC who viewed the showcase,
remarked that art is an
“integral part of the human
experience.” He emphasized
the importance of art and
expressed excitement about
having this display on campus,
even bringing a friend
to see it a second time.
This showcase, which
opened on Oct. 7, is presented
at the Wylie and May
Louise Jones Gallery. Marshall
Sharpe, the director
of the Jones Art Gallery, expressed
his pleasure at the interest
and curiosity generated
by the current exhibitions.
Although there were some
concerns about Autumn Nicole’s
installation addressing
underreported cases of sexual
violence, many viewers
have strongly identified with
the work, feeling that it creates
a meaningful space to
discuss this difficult but important
topic.
These powerful works
of art are essential to bring
awareness to the people
about hard to talk about topics.

“Terrifier 3”
will make you
sick
The beauty and
tragedy of life
Film Notes
By Ace Warren
Arts & Entertainment Editor
By Abigale Paz
Reporter
Director Damien Leone
is back with his third addition
to the Terrifier movie
franchise, let’s just say don’t
watch this movie alone and
most definitely don’t watch
this movie if you are easily
squeamish and afraid of
clowns.
You may have heard of
these movies before, or you
may have just heard about it
due to the mass popularity it
gained through TikTok for
the genuine disgust and fear
it has given the audience.
“Terrifier 3” follows the
storyline of the previous
movie. After surviving Art,
the Clown’s Halloween
massacre, Sienna and her
brother try to rebuild their
lives during the holiday season
although Art returns
determined to ruin their
Christmas spirit.
In all honesty you can
walk into this movie not
knowing the plot or having
any acknowledgment about
Art the Clown. It seemed
like the gore was the focus of
the movie, showcasing the
vilest and boundary pushing
gore that has been on
the big screen. Each scene
just seems to get more and
more bloody showcasing the
most brutal deaths that have
played in the cinemas. The
sounds of the film somehow
even more gruesome than
the visuals.
Personally, speaking I
wouldn’t say that this movie
is scary, it does send an eerie
and chilling feeling down
your spine when a suspenseful
scene comes on screen.
The word that I would use
to describe “Terrifier 3”
would be disgusting.
David Howard Thornton
who famously plays the
role as Art the Clown, has
a silly but ominous feeling
throughout the film. You
can almost laugh at him until
the very next scene where
he brutally murders yet another
victim. The scenes are
so graphic that Thornton
has stated one particular
scene in “Terrifier 3” made
him physically ill while filming.
The audience let out loud
gasps while fans of the film
let out almost a cheer for the
clown, it was almost unsettling.
Many people in the
theater were even dressed
up as Art showing their love
for the movie. Art the clown
is a fan favorite, his first appearance
being in the 2008
short film “The 9th Circle”
causing an uproar for the famous
evil clown.
Whether you love Art the
clown or hate him, this is defiantly
a movie you’d want
to be mentally prepared for.
John Crowley’s “We Live in
Time” is the newest release
from critically acclaimed studio
A24 and is a take on one
of the most popular genres in
modern cinema, that genre
being romantic dramas.
The film tackles the concept
balancing the many
opportunities life throws at
us while feeling like you are
on a timer. This idea is portrayed
through a tragic love,
having one of the main characters
in the relationship get
cancer and only having a set
amount of time to live.
The characters Almut
(played by Florence Pugh)
and Tobias (played by Andrew
Garfield) are a couple
that go through many ups
and downs throughout their
relationship. From meeting
after Almut runs over Tobias
in her car, unconventional
birth locations, and dealing
with terminal illness. The
film highlights the real struggles
of a relationship and
does not sugar coat things
the way most romance films
do
Ṫhe main thing that the
film did differently than most
others in the genre is the way
the story was told, nonlinearly.
The story is given to the
audience out of order instead
of from start to finish
like most stories tend to go.
It added much intrigue by allowing
watchers to see things
that happen later in the relationship
and wanting to see
how it started or how things
got to what they are later.
Pugh and Garfield gave a
Ace Warren
phenomenal performance
with chemistry so good that
at some points it made me
forget I was watching a movie.
They are able to accurately
portray what a relationship
doomed to end is really like
as we watch them both learn
to accept how to live in the
moment and treat every day
as if it is the last.
Crowley hit it out of the
park and the film takes the
audience through the beauty
of life and shows you how to
embrace the world around
you as it is and to understand
that life does not last forever.
Pugh and Garflield’s performance
alone makes it worth
it for anyone to see the film.
Ultimately, we are all living
in time and this film shows
you how Almut and Tobias
tragically and beautifully accept
this and continue to love
each other through it all.

The beef birria is very juicy with
enriched flavors and a savory texture
provided with fresh beef stock.
Shrimp tostadas the appetizer for
the night was sweet and tasty with
flavors. Who does not love a quesadilla
a simple cheesy texture with a
tortilla with a bonus meat chorizo?
Black Bean soup is a classic who
does not love a simple black bean
soup? For a fact, black beans are
the healthiest and most nutritious
ones to eat.
Everyone’s favorite dessert with
two choices there is a traditional
tres leches cake slice that just hits
the spot in taste. Not too sweet and
not too dry because tres leches is a
milky drenched cake. Then paired
with a horchata ice cream with
chocolate drizzle, it was a good
rush of savory sweetness that made
a chemistry reaction of happiness
just like chocolate does.
The pleasure of speaking with tonight’s
guests’ culinary students Julie
Oberlies spoke on the best dish
for that evening being the “birria
& Mexican Cesar salad.” Along
with Aaliyah Walton agreeing the
same birria & the soup was the
best Walton & her partner Ariana
made the entrée. Oberlies had the
entree job of making with partner
Maribel Barajas, “We were on the
chicken mole for Mexican night.”
While Walton & Ariana, said, “We
made the birria with the consomé.”
Along with the birria it goes perfectly
