VVC Students Talk Safety
By Jessica Boykin
RamPage Reporter
One, Two, Three…, Ten
seconds speed by, flashes of
gunfire, fellow students down.
Take a moment to think about
that. How would you react in
an instances notice? In the
wake of Oregon’s mass shooting, many people from various
colleges including Victor Valley College students began to
voice their concerns about
safety on campus. Nearly two
months to the date, a shooter
opened fire on the campus of
Umpqua Community College,
killing ten students and injuring nine. The ability to know
when a shooting is going to
occur is nearly the same as
knowing when you’re going
to be involved in a traffic accident. These incidents are
unpredicted, undiscriminating,
and unexpected. Due to these
circumstances, there have
been 142 school shootings in
the US since the Sandy Hook
shooting in 2012. “That is
near average of one a week,”
cites Mass Shooting Tracker.
You may be asking yourself;
how it can be that easy for a
shooter to obtain a gun?
Some say gun laws are not
strict enough and others may
say that the root of the cause
is mental illness. Realistically
both mental illness and gun
laws may be strong factors.
On October 1, 2015 following
the Oregon shooting, at a
news conference Obama
strongly advised journalists to
tally up the amount of Americans who have been killed by
terrorism attacks and the number of Americans who have
been killed by gun violence.
Shockingly, 24 Americans
have been killed by terrorism
and 280,024 have been killed
by gun violence in the past
decade. Although this large
number is combined with other mass shooting and not only
on campus shootings, it is
definitely a number to consider. Earlier this week, a poll
was conducted and 20 Victor
Valley College students were
surveyed about the safety on
campus. When asked if students were aware

VVC Scores with
San Manuel and
Edison
By Albert Monge
Sports Editor
A helping hand is nice to
have and fortunately, VVC
has two. The San Manuel
Band of Mission Indians and
Edison International made
generous donations to the
school. A donation of
$107,362 from San Manuel
Band of Mission Indians was
given to the Emergency Medical Services Program (EMS).
The program will receive five
Electrocardiogram
(EKG)
machines; a critical component of the EMS program.
The second donation of
$25,000 was from Edison
International, parent company
to Southern California Edison. The donation is given to
students who are pursuing
education in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering,
and
Mathematics
(STEM). This donation will
provide 25 scholarships to
STEM students and over a
thousand hours of tutoring to
all students in the STEM programs.
Every semester, at least
4,600 students at VVC need
tutoring in STEM subjects. In
2013, VVC opened the Math
Success Center, where students receive tutoring and a
quiet work space. VVC is not
the only school to be given
generous donations.

Provide the Helping Hand
By Angel Camacho
News Editor
Phi Theta Kappa is the
National Honor Society here
at Victor Valley College who
stands as a symbol for academic excellence. Most VVC
students understand the difficulty maintaining a high GPA;
however, being an honor student has major perks.
Students who have a GPA
of 3.5 or above and acquire
more than 12 transferrable
units can be a candidate for
the Phi Theta Kappa. Phi Theta Kappa represents and celebrates academic success; however, it is meant for more than
that. President Michael Gatewood believes that “successful
students should be a helping
hand for those that are not so
successful.”
When becoming a memSafety, from page 1
of the emergency information
packet located in all classrooms, of those 20 who were
surveyed, 15 students stated
they had no idea. Victor Valley student Jhana Dumas,
suggested in the comment
section, “I think only people
with ID cards with the current
ber, benefits will include but
not limited to: Scholarships,
College Fish, and Competitive
Edge. The scholarships are
dedicated to only Phi Theta
Kappa members. College Fish
is a website for transfer students that match you to the
best fit university for your
degree. Competitive Edge is
used for giving the students an
advantage for job applications. If needed they can also
provide a letter of recommendation.
Members of Phi Theta
Kappa, enjoy all the great
opportunities and experiences
The National Honor Society
has to offer. Phi Theta Kappa
is a team that provides services to the community and
the school. PTK help tutor
students and are involved in
many community service projects; while maintaining a five
-star rating.
College can be stressful,
however, striving for success
with a little help along the
way will shape students into
the most sought-after candidates for future jobs. “It has
been a personal growing experience,” explained Gatewood.

The Phi Theta Kappa will
include a membership fee of

received are priceless. To join

remains, what can you do as a
student to prepare for shooting in an instance notice? As
students, how important is
your safety on a college campus? Let us know on our
Facebook page.
On Monday, November
30th, an “active shooter” exercise/training will be held on
the Victor Valley College
campus. This exercise will
include Victor Valley College
Police Department, the San
Bernardino County Sheriff’s
Department, and Victorville
Police
Station.

bout 70% to 80% of what the human body does. This lab is a great
way to give the students hands on
training without having to worry
about putting a person's life at
risk. Terry Truelove, Professor
and Simulation Lab Facilitator, is
so excited to be able to utilize this
new building. He believes that
having these resources will be
very beneficial for nursing students.
As nursing students perform a
lab, there are no professors in the
room instructing them. "It allows
students to make their own decisions," Truelove stated. During
the lab, there is always someone
in the control room controlling the
robot and creating a unique and
realistic experience for the students. In the observation room are
other students to monitor what
their peers are doing. Following
the lab, everyone gets together
and discusses the positive and
negative aspects of the lab, giving
constructive feedback.
Nursing student, Rose Harrison feels lucky to be able to use
this building in her training.
Though she said that performing a
lab is nerve-racking, she explained that, "Hands on is much
better and we're not harming real
people." She also appreciates the
feedback from her peers that observe the lab and admitted that it
really does help.
Another great feature in the
Health and Sciences Building is a
computer lab. This workstation is
designed similarly to a room in
which nursing students would
take the NCLEX exam (National
Council Licensure Examination).
This test determines whether or
not a student is prepared to practice nursing. Truelove explained
that every time students have a
quiz or a test, it is taken in this
room to prepare students for the
environment of the exam.
Victor Valley Community
College has been placed in the top
five percentile in the nation for all
nursing programs, which is a
great feat for the school. The
Health and Sciences Building is
already proving to be a successful
addition to the campus.

VVC Student Goes From Riding the Bus to Winning a Car
By Hugo C. Valdez
Managing Editor
Generally, companies and
advertisers promote contest
and giveaways offering great
prizes if the required form is
completed. Most people usually pass them up, while others take the time to enter, never imagining that they will
win. Well, that wasn’t the case
for a very lucky Victor Valley
College student who entered a
contest on Valley Hi Toyota’s
Facebook
page.
On Friday, November 6,
Valley Hi Toyota presented
Apple Valley resident, Sonia
Espinoza, the keys to a 2005
Toyota Camry. That same
day, coincidentally, was her
19th Birthday. Sonia is a full
time student at VVC and up
until this past week, her only
means of transportation was
the public bus. “Every morning I take two buses and that
means I have to get up by 5:30
AM so I could be at the college by 6:15 AM”, stated
Sonia. “With college being so
expensive, I wasn’t able to
afford, or even think about,
buying
a
car.”
Sonia never dreamed that she
would win a car. “If someone
would have told me you are
going to win a car on your
19th birthday, I would have
looked at them and said,
you’re a liar.” Sonia first saw
the Valley Hi Toyota contest
on Facebook and figured,
“well it’s worth a shot.” A few
weeks went by and on the day
the winner was to be announced she anxiously awaited the results. “As I watched
the video and I heard my
name I couldn’t believe it. I
thought they have to be talking about another Sonia. I was
really shocked and truly happy.” After sitting down and
having a moment to take it all
in, Sonia ran to her mom so
she could share the great
news.
To her fellow VVC students, Sonia would like to say,
“Keep trying, with anything in
life it’s totally worth giving it
a shot. That one ounce of belief that you could win…is all
it takes.” Sonia also wished to
express her gratitude to Valley
Hi Toyota for helping make
her dream of obtaining a nursing degree even more of a
reality.
Over the past year, Valley
Hi Toyota has been putting
smiles on many local faces.

How VVC Students Get Their News
By Lauryn Jackson
Photo Editor
Social media is redefining
the limits of news. The group
that is using the power of social media more than any other is the younger generation
that grew up with it. The Victor Valley College campus
largely represents this demographic. On the 30th of September, students were interviewed on social media and
news.
Vinny Salazar stated that
he uses Facebook for a majority of the local news. He’s not
alone. The biggest social media giant used among them
was Facebook. According to
Pew Research, 63 percent of
all Facebook users use the site
to keep up on the news.
Facebook isn’t the only
social media site that students
at VVC use to channel in their
news. When asked how he
gets his news, Daniel Flores
(pictured below) states, “I get
my news from Reddit. It allows me to go on different
online news sites.” Twitter,
Instagram, and Snapchat were
mentioned as well. Twitter is
the second in the running with
Facebook and according to
Pew Research, 8 percent of
people use Twitter to share
and find news. Two out of the
eighteen students interviewed
said that they used this social
network for their news.
Despite how it may seem,
traditional news isn’t long
gone with this generation.
Many students read from a
standard newspaper; some
stating that they read Daily
Press from “time to time.”
Paul Lopez, a VVC student,
said, “Newspapers are very
blunt, but are important because they were the driving
force for the expansion there
[in social media] now.”
The daily 9 and 6 o’clock
television news are still alive
and relevant in today’s fastpaced-world. A surprising
amount of students said that
their news source is television.
Ashlynn stated that her main
something to give back to the
community and help out families especially during the holiday season. We also want to
make it fun and exciting. Every one of our winners tells us
they never win anything. It
becomes the perfect gift at a
perfect time. We enjoy making a difference,” stated Valley Hi Toyota’s Social Media
Manager Brian Ortega.
If you haven’t entered you
still have a chance to win.
Valley Hi Toyota has decided
to give away an 11th car. For
more information and to stay
informed be sure to like them
on
Facebook
(www.facebook.com/
valleyhitoyota).
source for news is ABC news.
ABC isn’t the only one, Miguel Magllon, 3rd semester
student, said, “I get my news
from CNN and Forbes.” The
top news channel mentioned
by students was Cable News
Networking -- or CNN.
In the not too distant past,
news gathered either from a
newspaper, radio or broadcast
television. Now, news is making a notable shift from the
traditional, to the innovative. As social media grows,
students here at VVC, share
how they keep up with the
news; differently than a few
generations prior.

Pledge Against Terror
By Chris Ibarra
RamPage Reporter
A bomb dropped in this
town, special forces take another town, US troops train
rebels to defend a town down
the road. Refugees are thankful for the involvement. However, is the chaos all the way
around the world our problem
in the first place?
There is a lot of speculation as to what the US’s role
should be in this conflict and
whether or not we should be
involved in the first place.
These speculations should
increase now that the Pentagon has presented a new plan
for combating ISIS. According to the Business Insider’s
article “Pentagon pledges
more raids, airstrikes against
ISIS in Iraq,” published October 28, 2015, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced
that the US military would use
a strategy that involves increasing the number of airstrikes and commando raids
(Sisk, 2015). The US would
also increase support for the
Syrian-Arab coalition and
Syrian Kurdish forces pressing against the ISIS capital of
Raqaa (Sisk, 2015).
When spoken to about the
severity of the events in Syria
and Iraq, former US marine
Dave Stoddard stated, “From
what I’ve heard my buddies
discuss, apparently ISIS are
only about as dangerous as
any other insurgent force
we’ve fought in the past, so
the tactics we’ve used before
should be effective against
them too.” He went on to say
that the real threat is the use of
the media.
Should the US have to go
in to stop these insurgent forces? An unnamed source gave
this strong response to that
question. “The Convention on
Genocide was among the first
United Nations conventions
addressing humanitarian issues. It was adopted in 1948
in response to the atrocities
committed during World War
II and followed G.A. Res. 180
(II) of 21 December 1947 in
which the UN recognized that
‘genocide is an international
crime, which entails the national and international responsibility of individual persons and states.’ We, as defined by the United Nations,
have a responsibility to protect those who can't protect
themselves.”
The US has done a great
job of accepting these responsibilities but it’s easy to sympathize with US citizens who
are tired of the constant conflicts. Jessica Lona, a student
at VVC stated, “We should
train them to relieve the US
from protecting them so they
(US troops) could be pulled...
(However) there’s two sides
you can pull from it. They can
take care of themselves or
they’ll arm up and begin a war
that we have to get involved
in again.” Lona said, alluding
back to US involvement with
Al-Qaeda before the attacks
on 9/11.
International policing duties are painstaking jobs but
maybe the best way to put it
is, someone has to do them.

the team into a two game
winning streak. With an overall 7-1 record.
The ASB held its annual
tailgating party and provided
delicious food, prepared by
the ASB student council. “We’re doing this for the
students wanting to say
thanks for their support,”
stated one of the council
members. They went all-out
by providing BBQ, hot dogs,
snacks, and drinks; all free to
students who presented their
VVC ID card. Foam fingers,
pompoms and other items
were given away. ASB cardholders received one item
free and any additional item
cost $1 each. ASB
also
hyped-up the crowd during
the game by giving out free
merchandise such as bracelets, necklaces and mini
foam footballs. Another awesome event carried out
by ASB; a dedicated and
highly motivated group who
desire to give back to the
student body.

Young Frankenstein
Brings the Audience To Life
By Brittany Nistler
RamPage Reporter
Victor Valley College’s
opening night performance of
Young Frankenstein the Musical was a hit and left the
crowd laughing long after the
show had ended. Director and
Chairman for the Theater Department, Ed Heaberlin, gives
his own praise of the musical.
“I’m very much pleased with
opening night. The way the
performers connected with the
audience, feeding off their
laughter and applause.” Ed
also said about his assistant,
Willow, “She’s been such an
amazing help with the production and keeping everything
organized!”
In the first Act, there are
11 scenes, each with about
one song, such as “Please
Don’t Touch Me” and “He
Vas My Boyfriend.” The second Act, included eight
scenes, with songs “Please
Send Me Someone”, and the
classic “Puttin’ On The Ritz”.
With its comical, yet raunchy
love songs, the musical is perfect for this audience. The
actors did a fantastic job in
leads and supporting cast. It
stayed tried and true to the
core material. With a great
symphony to boot! Overall
great acting and pretty hilarious.” Roth also said that he
would definitely be interested
in seeing the Theater Department do more musicals like
Young Frankenstein.
Another great addition to
the musical was the live ensemble, allowing the audience
to enjoy the music while the
cast sang and danced their
ways into the audience’s
hearts. Choreographer, Katherine Page, choreographed an
excellent dance piece, while
dance captains, Olivia and
Adam Rubio and the Dance
Core, danced gracefully on
set.
Ed passionately talks
about the Theater Department,
saying, “We hope to improve
the department by increasing
our budget, adding a shop
foreman and hopefully adding
another theatre arts instructor”. He also says that the
Theater Department has the
potential to be a center for
excellence and that they have
so many possibilities but are

Attendee, Tyler Roth, enjoyed the 1974 film, but had
never seen a live musical. He
was impressed and thoroughly
enjoyed the musical. He said,
“Impressive acting by the
limited in resources and staff.
Overall, the musical had
so many great assets and used

great heights; such as stage
props and costumes. Young

Recital Talent Runs Deep
By Swahn LaMar
RamPage Reporter
On November 13th, the
Victor Valley College Performing Arts Center featured
a music recital. The event’s
performers were students and
faculty of the school’s music
program.
The
musicians
played 10 different songs.
The event itself was somewhat chaotic, certain performers were sick and were unable
to attend which meant their
time slots had to be filled with
less practiced material by other musicians.
Regardless
of the situation,
the performers
were
facing,
they all played
very well. The
music evoked a
somber feeling
with intervals of loud emotion. The musician’s talents
were clearly evident.
The performance showed
that the school’s music program has potential and talent
and the concerts shouldn’t be
missed. The next concert is
called “Thursday Night Jazz”
and will be on the 10th of
December. The concert is sure
to be entertaining and enjoyable. The music students of
VVC their talent and are an
excellent addition to the
school.
Steve Jobs Film Review
By Diallo “Markus” Kahin
RamPage Reporter
Writer Arron Sorkin elects
to show who Steve Jobs was
by giving a glimpse into three
of his famous product launches. The film’s three acts are
shot differently.
The 1984 Macintosh sequence is filmed in 16mm
film to give it a grainy look.
The 1988 NeXT cube scene is
shot in 35mm, and finally the
1998 iMac presentation is shot
digitally giving it a glossy HD
look. These filming style aids
in differentiating something
that could otherwise be visually boring by the 45 minute
mark.
Michael Fassbender was
tasked with difficult role of
playing the brilliant but often
mean spirited and absurdly
stubborn Steve Jobs. Fassbender brilliantly portrays
Jobs as someone who abso-
lutely believes he is the smartest person in whatever room
he walks into. Seth Rogen
gets a chance to show off his
dramatic range by playing the
Apple co-founder and one
time friend of Jobs, Steve
Wozniak. He's the most likable character in the film and
his back and forth with Jobs
are the most revealing character moments. Jeff Daniels,
Kate Winslet and the three
actresses (Makenzie Moss,
Ripley Sobo, Perla HaneyJardine) who play the daughters of Jobs all do fantastic
work as well. This is one of
the most well-acted movies
I've ever seen.
Overall Steve Jobs is a
rousing success. It holds no
punches when exposing the
darker side of the man who
most of us only know for being the brilliant designer of all
things Apple. I give Steve
Jobs a 10/10.

October 28, the VVC
gymnasium had parents, fellow students, and athletes
cheering for the VVC Rams
volleyball team. The Rams
had a tough challenge facing
San Bernardino Valley College in a best of five match.
The Rams fought hard in the
sets, but were tragically beaten three to one. Although the
Rams did not leave victorious,
they displayed a tremendous
amount of teamwork, dignity,
and hustle; which demands
respect. Not one set was unevenly contested, with two of
the four matches actually going over the usual 25-point
mark because the two teams
were so evenly matched.
Through all of the highs
and lows of each set, Rams
never lost their cool, and the
crowd started to notice. Sud-
denly, the VVC gym started to
shake and got loud with fellow VVC athletes in the
VVC Rams volleyball rally together after defeat against San
Bernardino Valley College.

stands cheering each point
and pass on. San Bernardino
Valley College got a quick
message that they were the
visiting team, and it started to
show in the second of four
matches. This was the only
game that was not as close as
the others, with the Rams
winning 25 to 17.
The support was contagious. The fans began to
stomp and scream to show
their
support
of
the
Rams. The team really picked
up on the crowd’s vibe and
played extremely hard, but
were torn down by trivial mistakes. Each match more exhilarating than the last.
Women’s Volleyball may
have lost the match, but
gained the support of the student body and fellow athletes.
VVC Rams Bounce Back After Upset
By Bryan Garcia
RamPage Reporter
The Rams were successful
in bouncing back from a tough
loss to San Bernardino Valley
College, with a 79-0 victory
over Compton College. It was
their highest scoring game of
the season, with their previous
season high being 58 points.
VVC dominated their opponents from the beginning
and a second consecutive loss
was out of the question. Quarterback Sam Allen ran for the
first touchdown of the game
and threw for two more before
the end of the first quarter.
Dakota Prussia and Desmond
Johnson were on the receiving
end of Allen’s touchdown
passes.
The second quarter was
more of the same as Johnson
ran for his second touchdown
of the game, and running back
Jason Knowles ran for his first
and only touchdown. Devonte
Milligan and Justin Davis then
gave the Rams a 48-0 lead to
end the first half, scoring on
passes from Allen.
The result was decided in
the first half, and the Rams
seemed to cruise through the
following two quarters. Aaron
Parker, Emetrious Scott, and
Johnson rushed for a touchdown each. Also, Defensive
Back Ty’rail Hawkins prevented what seemed to be
Compton’s best chance of
scoring, returning an interception for 95 yards. Kicker
James Liker was successful on
a 26 yard field goal, and was

successful on 10 of the 11
extra point opportunities.
On offense VVC was unstoppable, seemingly scoring
at will. Their defense was also
impressive as they held their
opponent to only 82 yards
total and delivered their second shutout of the season.
They had 5 sacks, forced a
fumble, and had two interceptions, a lethal combination
that led to a Rams victory.
This win, as well as the
wins on 10/31 and 11/7 and
11/14 solidified a share of the
conference title with San Bernardino Valley and College of
the Desert. With these victories, the Rams have gained
entry to the SCFA American
Division Championship Bowl
scheduled for 6 p.m. on November 21, at Santa Monica
College.
