Dr. Jerry
Fliger Hosts
Town Hall
Introducing
BC’s new SGA
members
By Angela Medina
Reporter
On Wednesday, April 10
Bakersfield College’s Student
Government Association
(BCSGA) hosted a
Student Town Hall with
President Dr. Jerry Fliger.
BCSGA Vice President
Amanda Anguiano asked a
series of questions and represented
all of BC by speaking
on behalf of all student
body regarding academic
progress, campus life, and
overall educational success.
Dr. Fliger shared his educational
background in
college and related to BC
students and their journey
in their early college experiences.
Dr. Fliger stated that
after failing college following
high school, he never
gave up and tried again. He
went on to obtain a PhD in
education. “I found out I
like teaching, if you’re here
in your 20’s and don’t know
what to do yet, you still have
time,” stated Dr. Fliger.
With Dr. Fliger’s new position
as BC’s President,
Fliger is optimistic about
creating change and making
a difference at BC. Dr. Fliger
encouraged students to
stop by his office and voice
their concerns regarding
their BC experience.
As a first-generation college
graduate and not knowing
what to do career-wise,
Dr. Fliger stated he understood
how crucial it can be
for students to succeed academically.
“If it wasn’t for
you all here, all of BC, my
faculty, and I wouldn’t be
here.”
The BCSGA asked a series
of questions regarding
student parking, class scheduling,
campus safety, food,
and accessibility.
Dr. Fliger insisted it is not
a parking issue, but a convenience
issue. Although
students are not always going
to be able to park in a
desirable spot, Dr. Fliger
ensured there is still parking
available.
When asked about security
and their presence, Dr.
Fliger insisted that although
it is a complex issue and the
law prohibits BC from hiring
police, a possible solution
can lead to brighter
lighting on campus, at least
one security officer on shift
at all times and planning
conducted safety drills to
prepare for at-risk situations.
Another question was regarding
food costs for students.
With inflation and
the rising costs of necessities,
would that affect BC’s
Pantry services? Dr. Fliger
and faculty stated that food
costs are always studied and
measured and would not be
negatively affected.
Students can also look
forward to more improvement
in student spaces at
our campuses.
Everyone is always encouraged
to attend all of
BCSGA’s future meetings.

The Bakersfield College
Student Government
Association (BCSGA) announced
their new officers
for the 2024-2025 academic
year on April 11.
The new members of the
Student Government Association
are President Cindy
Ceja Miranda, Vice President
Raya Arafah, Senator
Trevor Turner, Director of
Student Organization Abigail
Tamayo and student
trustee Cindy Ceja Miranda.
“I decided to be a senator
because I was working very
closely with the senator who
came out this year but because
he couldn’t do everything,
he wanted it inspired
me to want to be a senator
also because I would like to
create new opportunities for
those who have problems
with your residence,” said
newly elected senator Trevor
Turner.
He wants to create changes
for those who have problems
with their residence
and thus be able to create
more help for those who do
not have the power to create
opportunities for all of
them.
Our new Vice president is
also willing to work so that
Bakersfield College students
can also do so and explains
a little about what excites her
most about being elected as
the new Vice President.
“This past academic year
I was one of the senators but
this year I wanted to have
one of the highest positions,
that’s how I decided that I
wanted to run to be the new
vice president and I am excited
to work with the students
of Bakersfield College
and be your of those who
do not have you” said Raya
Arafah.
“I registered in spring
2022 and I saw that the student
life office was just a table
and that’s how I decided
to be president because I really
liked the position and so
I could make changes,” said
Cindy Ceja Miranda.
All BCSGA members all
expressed their enthusiasm
about working their new
positions and are willing to
work to create changes in
BC to make the school a safer
place for all of its students
and Staff.

Our city’s Redlining history
By Joscelyn Martinez
Reporter
Recent research uncovers how Bakersfield’s
history of redlining may run
deeper than anticipated.
On April 8th, Director of Historical
Research Center (HRC) at California
State University of Bakersfield (CSUB)
Christopher Livingston, and specialist
in housing discrimination and history
of redlining, Donato Cruz, presented
a thesis on Bakersfield’s History of
redlining and housing discrimination.
The event began with Livingston giving
a brief description about the HRC,
and the resources it provides for students
and faculty. Established in 2014,
it has remained prominent in Bakersfield’s
community by resurfacing historical
artifacts that play a key role in kern
county’s history.
Following the introduction, Livingston
described how this thesis came to
be. In 2015, he went to a storage facility
that held real estate documents of a deceased
agent named Claude Blodgett.
There, Livingston found documents
on “Mayflower,” a formally segregated
neighborhood. “I pick up a file and see
Mayflower, and I knew it I didn’t have
to go any farther,” said Livingston. “I
am taking it.”
Following Livingstons introduction,
Gabriel Soria, A Bakersfield College
(BC) janitor, performed a song with his
guitar called “Redlining Blues.” His
favorite part of the song he wrote was
“and that’s how you got the redlining
blues.”
After Sorias performance, Cruz began
to present his thesis. He began his
portion of the presentation by defining
red lining as “many types of historic
race-based exclusionary tactics in real
estate.”
Cruz presented multiple sources in his
thesis, showing how real estate agents in
1938 were trained to racially segregate
by The Federal Housing Administration
(FHA). The instruction manual
provided to agents at the time taught
them that “no property shall be used or
occupied or be permitted to be occupied
by any person not of the white or
Caucasian race.”
Following this statement, Cruz displayed
a map showing the difference
between racially segregated areas and
white neighborhoods. This led Cruz
to exploring eminent domain in Bakersfield
highways. There, he learned
how highways may have been used as a
form of segregation. Using a map from
1938-1950, he was able to show how
highways only contributed to these previously
restrictive areas.
As Cruz continues his research, he is
hopeful in finding more discoveries on
the subject to share to Bakersfield residents.
Awards for students & staff

It was a night for celebration and
creating memories with families and
friends not only for Bakersfield College
students, but faculty staff as well, where
hard work and dedication were both
honored and awarded, even handing
scholarships to students at the Student
Leadership and Involvement award
ceremony held on the Panorama campus
on April 13.
The Student Leadership and Involvement

their hard work and dedication not only
with the time they spend on campus or
teaching, recognizing their outstanding
work as leaders making an impact on
peers and members on campus.
Over 150 Bakersfield College Students
and faculty members were nominated
to receive an award, which were
all chosen by students or faculty members
who have illustrated their roles of
leadership. Bakersfield College is like a
mirror to the city itself, which is filled
with diversity of people, this campus is
filled with many different backgrounds
and circumstances, and the ceremony
highlighted the diversity with the
awards that were handed out, like ‘The
previously Incarcerated award’ which
was handed to Michael Wyatt who
was previously incarcerated for over 17
years.
“I’m becoming the first person in my
family to finish college; I’m making up
for lost time.” Said Michael Wyatt as he
received his award.
Other major awards that were handed
out were BCSGA single parent scholarship
given to Brea Palacios, BCSGA
LGBT+ scholarship given to Andrea
Chaidez, Champion of diversity scholarship,
which was given to Amanda
Anguino, as well as many other awards.

UFC 300
NFL Draft
By Angela Medina
Reporter
After years of anticipation,
UFC 300 has arrived.
This card featured star
power and left audiences
with a night to remember.
The event took place at the
T-Mobile Arena in Paradise,
Nevada on April 13, 2024.
UFC 300 consisted of
eight Prelim matches, three
main card matches, and
a co-main event featuring
Zhang Weili vs. Yan Xiaonan,
and the main event
showcased Alex Pereira and
Jamahal Hill.
Pereira defended the light
heavyweight title against
Hill who has never lost the
belt in competition.
With an explosive buildup
to the main event, a
main card that stood out
was none other than Max
Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje
and also Arman Tsarukyan
vs. Charles Oliveira.
Holloway delivered a brutal
spinning strike that connected
with Gaethje’s nose,
appearing to have broken it.
With the fight lasting all five
rounds and just one second
before the final bell, Gaethje
was left lying face down
by knockout. Both fighters
fought for the title of “the
baddest mother…”, you get
it.
As for the lightweight title
shot, Tsarukyan had his biggest
win in his career thus
far
Ȧlthough it wasn’t Tsarukyan’s
win people were
talking about the next day,
it was him seemingly punching
a fan on his way to the
cage. Tsarukyan reacted
very suddenly showing to
have punched one fan and
then scaring another. Although
Tsarukyan defeated
Oliviera by split decision,
fans were not pleased with
Tsarukyan’s poor sportsmanship.
The co-main event featured
women’s strawweight
champion Weili Zhang who
earned a unanimous decision
over Yan Xiaonan. Both
women showed tremendous
strength and fought all five
rounds.
With a powerful matchup,
Weili’s grappling skills outshined
Xiaonan’s strength.
The main- event was cut
short due to a first-round
knockout by Pereira that left
Hill dazed as there was only
one minute and 45 seconds
left of round one.
Hill, the former champion,
who returned from a
torn Achilles last summer,
was left with the first knockout
loss of his career. With
Hill suffering this loss, he
was still left in good spirits
and said he was determined
to come back better.
UFC 300 was an intense
line-up and showcased fierce
talent that brought the biggest
streaming numbers yet
since the pandemic.

The 2024 NFL Draft is just
around the corner, with the
three-day event starting on
Apr. 25 in Detroit. Over the
course of seven rounds, 257
college football players will
see their dreams come true as
they will hear their name being
called in the first step of their
professional careers.
As is the case with most
drafts, the No. 1 pick is basically
a foregone conclusion before
the event gets started. USC
quarterback Caleb Williams
will take his talents to the Chicago
Bears after they traded
Justin Fields to Pittsburgh. In
Williams, the Bears hope to finally
land a franchise QB after
decades of mediocrity.
At No. 2, the Washington
Commanders are expected to
draft UNC QB Drake Maye.
The Commanders are another
franchise that has lacked
consistent QB play, and Maye
has the tools to be a successful
player in the NFL.
After the top two is where
things are expected to get
spicy. The New England Patriots
have the No. 3 pick, yet
they have been linked to Maye
and LSU QB Jayden Daniels.
If they don’t have the opportunity
to draft Maye, will they
pivot to the 2023 Heisman
Trophy winner? Or will they
trade down, as rumors have
suggested.
The wild card in this draft is
Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.
Fresh off winning the national
championship in January, Mc-
Carthy has vastly improved his
stock since. Mock drafts have
him between No. 3 through
No. 12, yet no one is sure who
will take him, or if a team
Gesus Garcia
trades up to acquire his
services.
The wide receiver group
in this draft is very stacked.
Ohio State WR Marvin
Harrison Jr. and LSU’s
Malik Nabers are expected
to hear their name
called within the top five
picks. Washington’s Rome
Odunze and Georgia TE
Brock Bowers are two other
pass catchers projected
in the top ten.
On the defensive side,
three names to keep an
eye on are Alabama edge
rusher Dallas Turner,
Florida St EDGE Jared
Verse, and UCLA EDGE
Laiatu Latu. It’d be a mild
surprise if anyone outside
these three are the first
defensive player off the
board, yet any of these
three can go first and it
wouldn’t be shocking.
The NFL Draft is an exciting
time for football fans
in between the six months
of no game action. The
first round is sure to deliver
a rollercoaster ride of
emotions for fans waiting
to see who their next face
of the franchise will be.

And All That Jazz
By Jonathan Wheelock
Reporter
The seventh annual KCMEA Jazz
Day was held on Thursday, April 11 in
the Simonsen Performing Arts Center
at Bakersfield College. The event went
from 9:45 am - 5:10 pm with a lunch
break from 1:00-1:30 p.m..
The indoor PAC quickly became
home to ten different high school jazz
bands and ensembles, along with everyone
else who was interested in the event,
filling the theater to near capacity.
The event was open to the public,
thus making it possible for many parents
to come and watch their child perform.
One such parent was Jose Flores,
the dad of one of the drummers for
Ridgeview’s Jazz Ensemble.
“This is a beautiful experience… getting
the chance to see him play with the
high school band,” said Flores.
The high school groups took turns
performing for everyone on stage.
The schools in attendance, in order
of their performances, were Bakersfield,
Shafter, Del Oro, Foothill, West,
Ridgeview, Centennial, Stockdale, Taft
Union, and Highland.
After Ridgeview played, it was time
for the BC Faculty Jazz Combo to play.
Kris Tiner, the group’s trumpet player
and Professor of Music here at BC, introduced
the group and the song they
would be playing. The song was a custom
arrangement by the group’s new
piano player, Tony Rinaldi, of the song
“The Night Has a Thousand Eyes.”
Once they finished, Tiner introduced
special guest Dawn Clement, “an internationally
acclaimed pianist, vocalist,
and composer” (BCJazz.org). The
group performed three songs together,
the second of which had the audience
clapping along throughout the entire
song, ending in an over 30-second-long
applause from the crowd.
The event also offered workshops after
lunch. Attendees would be able to
go to different spaces where they could
learn more about playing their instruments
along with general advice. Each
workshop was headed by a different
member of the BC Faculty Jazz Combo
ĊSUB Director of Jazz Studies Jim
Scully was also in attendance.
Scully would go on to say that the
event was an opportunity for the local
jazz groups “to share what they are
working on with their peers along with
seeing some world class talent.”

Let’s taco ‘bout it
By Carmen Gallegos
Reporter
Bakersfield College’s student government
invites fellow students to come
and join them for a “Let’s Taco Bout
It” event.
It gave students a chance to come
and get free tacos while having a conversation
with the Bakersfield College
student government. This took place
on April 9 from 12:30 to 2pm in front
of the cafeteria building on the lawn.
There were catered tacos provided for
50 students, so it was a first come first
serve. As students got in line for tacos,
the Student government was there
handing out and helping serve tacos
with a friendly smile. There were multiple
tables spread across the lawn with
a member of the student government
waiting to be talked to by students.
Jacob Palmbach, is a director of finance
and was responsible for planning
and running the event. He shared
the event was about giving students a
chance to talk about their Bakersfield
college experience with our student
government. It allowed for concern to
be brought up and expressed through
a personal level by a sit down conversation.
It gave students recognition and
to be heard by giving attention to their
time here at BC.
The overall turnout was great because
within only 20 minutes into the
event over 50 students had come ready
to eat tacos and talk.The tacos looked
delicious and fresh with the authenticity
of a traditional Mexican taco. There
are 15 members in Bakersfield College
Student Government, putting a name
to a face helps students get familiar to
recognize these members. The college
experience only makes improvement
by hearing out the ones who attend it
by being open to listening and ready to
change.
This event lets students voice out the
concerns within the college and brings
out constructive criticism. Along with
talking, providing tacos brought the appeal
for students to come.

Is AI taking over classrooms?
By Mia Washington
Reporter
Philosophy Professor Reggie
Williams hosted the
second and last Renegade
roundtable of the spring on
April 10. The roundtable is
a place where staff and students
can come by together
and share their thoughts on
topics concerning education.
The roundtable included,
Department of communication
Chair Angela Bono,
communication professor
Matthew Maddex, and Department
Chair of Biology
Joe Saldivar, along with
host Reggie Williams. Their
panel discussed the possible
effects AI could have on the
education system.
Williams opened by introducing
the panel and explained
that the event was
the gathering of BC instructors
to discuss a topic. He
prompted the audience with
a question, “How do you
think AI will affect education
for later generations? Will it
change things for the better
or for worse?”
Professor Bono shared her
opinion on the topic, “We
can either work with them or
stick our heads in the sand.
We either teach students how
to use it properly, or they’re
going to use it anyway unethically.”
To add to this, Professor
Saldivar expressed how
any unethical use could be
damaging to student development,
stating, “AI affects
critical thinking....CNBC
stated in 2017 that jobs that
rely on personal judgement
and critical thinking are going
to be more needed in the
future.”
Eric Testori, a student
viewing the panel disagreed,
“Some students use chat
GPT humanizers to cheat
and avoid AI detectors,” he
said.
“If you can’t think critically,
you’re unemployable. I
hope you don’t only seek education
for employment. Everything
we do for you in this
institution means nothing if
you’re getting a job where
you don’t know how to

think,” Professor Williams
said.
Jimena Rodríguez, a
young woman in the crowd
expressed fear of AI suddenly
making obtaining jobs difficult.
Stating, “As someone
that just go into the radiology
field, this is something I
find concerning. I was looking
at the news, some current
AOC she had been found to
be using AI for weeks.”
Professor Saldivar also
shared the importance of individuality
that the purpose
of higher education is not for
jobs, if AI is able to do better
than you, you have that one
human component.”

“3 Body Problem”
By Ace Warren
Reporter
One of Netflix’s newest
series could possibly be
one of the grandest sci-fi
television series ever.
“3 Body Problem” is
a new show based off a
book series by Cixin Liu.
The show is created by
David Benioff, and it has
a cast of many new actors,
like Jovan Adepo. Alongside
him are many seasoned
actors like Benedict
Wong, who many may
know from his role in the
MCU as Wong.
The series plays into
the idea that we are not
alone in the universe, and
it follows how the different
characters in the series
attempt to deal with
the threat of an imminent
alien invasion.
Many television fans
know about the series
“Game of Thrones.” Everyone
hails the series as
one of the best fantasy
television series ever, but
it is also infamous for its
terrible final seasons that
happened because the
show writers ran out of
material to adapt from
and instead went off script.
They did not do as good a
job as George R.R. Martin,
the author of “Game
of Thrones.”
Many fans of the “3
Body Problem” books are
afraid that something like
that could happen to the
show but for a different
reason. The book series
is not only fully written in
Chinese, but it is also very
famous for being one of
the most confusing science
fiction works ever that
delves into many intricate
science fiction topics and
theories of space. Therefore,
a lot of fans are worried
that this could cause
problems in the show.
Though it seems the opposite
may happen, the
series was a hit with cult
fans of the novels, and it
shows us that there might
be hope for the series and
the potential it has to succeed.
Viewers should tune
in now because this could
possibly be the future of
sci-fi television. If you
finish the show and can’t
wait to get more from the
franchise, you can pick up
the books and continue to
indulge yourself in Liu’s
world of pure science fiction
excellence.

RIIZE continues to rise
K-pop label SM Entertainment’s
newest boy group,
RIIZE, has released their newest
track “Impossible.” This is a
pre-release for their upcoming
mini album titled “RIIZING.”
The mini album’s release date
is still unannounced, but the
group will release three B-Side
singles on Apr. 29, which are “9
Days,” “Honestly,” and “One
Kiss.”
Returning to SM’s roots,
“Impossible” is a house-centric
track that features a fast-paced
tempo, smooth synths, and a
nice guitar sample through
the chorus. The second Sohee
starts off the track yelling
“Gimmie that beat!” You can’t
help but move. Instantly, you
are hit with a chant like chorus.
The group sings of lyrics
that speak of how nothing is
impossible when following your
dreams. It is very reminiscent
of a club anthem, and it’s a
very strong contender for song
of the summer. SM is known
for having extremely vocally
talented idols, and RIIZE is no
exception. Though “Impossible”
sonically is quite different
from the group’s previous release
“Love 119” which was
more like a modernized ‘90s
ballad, the vocal delivery over
this dance track is still impeccable.
The chorus is so catchy. After
just a few listens, it is bound
to be stuck in your head.
The accompanying music
video is equally captivating.
The locations of the shots are
unique. Beautiful shots of the
members on beaches and intricate
buildings are contrasted by
dance breaks inside abandoned
warehouses and subway tunnels.
The styling of the boys is
impeccable too. They manage

to fit the concept of the song
and look cohesive as a group,
while remaining unique to each
member.
The choreography was intense
as well. RIIZE previously
has had tough choreo, but this
time around they really outdid
themselves, especially with the
footwork. The group’s comeback
didn’t come without backlash
though, as former member
Seunghan was not featured on
the track. This would mark
the third RIIZE song without
him, including the recently
re-recorded version of their
pre-debut song “Siren.” He is
currently on an “indefinite hiatus”
due to controversy regarding
his life as a trainee.
In all, this was a new sound
for RIIZE, and with their first
mini album releasing soon,
there is no doubt that RIIZE
will continue to rise.
