Share: In a unanimous vote, the Associated Students at Pasadena City College passed a resolution that pressures PCC and the school’s foundation to divest from major polluters and defense contractors by July 2025. The vote comes a week after around 300 students demonstrated on campus calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the foundation’s investments in companies linked to Israel’s military and profiting off war. “The Associated Students of Pasadena City College calls on Pasadena City College Foundation to refrain from making …
Faculty union pushes for adjunct pay parity
Share: As a single mother, Wendy Eller, an adjunct Spanish professor at Pasadena City College (PCC), spends more time on her non-teaching job outside of the college. Eller is one of the adjunct professors at the school who is not a ‘freeway flier,’ a term referring to adjunct or part-time faculty who spend most of their time driving between teaching jobs at various CalStates, UCs and community colleges in the region. In many cases, adjuncts are paid a fraction of what full-time professors make, but …
No coach, no problem! PCC’s track throwers prove that ‘Pasadena is it’
Share: For the 2024 Track and Field season, the throwers on the track team didn’t have an official coach. This certainly presented some obstacles, but the resilient Lancers still excelled this season. Three throwers, in particular, performed extremely well all season, all of whom managed to perform well enough in their events at the South Coast Conference on May 7 to move on to the State Championships. Before the season officially began, the throwers were informed that they would likely not have a permanent coach …
When ‘When Harry Met Sally’ exists, we want anything but ‘Anyone but You’
Share: In the modern age of romantic comedies, there are few and far between that resonate with us the way classics, such as “When Harry Met Sally” or “13 Going On 30,” have impacted us and continue to impact the generations following. After nearly three decades of cinema, many of these iconic movies still live within the cultural zeitgeist, making any new additions to the genre feel lackluster and much like cheap imitations of already near-perfect movies. Despite the fact that the genre continues to …
Kendrick and Drake are ruining each other’s legacies and leaving us in shambles
Share: Forget the recap, forget the breakdowns, forget the explanations. What in the world are we witnessing right now? There’s no way to minimize this rap beef now, heck calling it just a “rap beef” alone is diminishing at this point. Sure this was interesting for us at the moment but no matter how this unfolds we’re going to be suffering from this as time goes on. This is no longer a “bar for bar” feud between the heavyweights, it’s become allegation for allegation, crime …
Hornets sting Lancers in 8-2 baseball playoff loss
Share: The Lancers traveled to Fullerton College on Friday for a CCCAA playoff matchup against the Hornets. Fullerton would set the tone of the game early on, putting up seven unanswered runs by the 4th inning, which would be answered by a 2-run homerun by freshman center fielder Tyler Garcia in the 5th, accumulating Pasadena’s only runs of the game as PCC would go on to lose 8-2. Pasadena struggled offensively, putting up only 4 hits throughout the game, their lowest hit total in a …
‘A winner never quits and a quitter never wins’
Share: Growing up as an athlete that aspires to compete in a sport at the highest level possible isn’t an easy feat. It takes time, dedication, hard work and so much more to keep yourself motivated and to keep improving. PCC freshman track and field runner Jaylin Morgan, has first hand experience with the competitiveness of running and the dedication that comes with achieving the opportunity to be racing at the collegiate level. Morgan has been involved in the track and field world ever since …
NintenDon’t spend $70 on a video game
Share: For the past year or so, there has been a lot of discourse regarding the price of video games. Especially given that some recent releases like “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III” have been very shaky to say the least and the price jump just seemed to come out of nowhere. With the releases of Sony’s Playstation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X, the industry-set standard for AAA games is now at an all-time high of $69.99. The jump in price may not seem …
WILLOW sets a calm and comfortable tone for new fans on ‘empathogen’
Share: In the midst of the diverse dosage of music that has been released in the last few weeks, it’s easy for some worthwhile projects to get lost in the shuffle. Scouring the internet to make sure I didn’t miss a thing, I found myself stumbling across some hidden gems that wouldn’t normally be in my go-to playlists. Being mostly unfamiliar with WILLOW’s discography, the single that came my way first was “run!” and it latched onto me impersonating a warm welcome into enjoying a …
Surprise, surprise, another out-of-touch comedian is complaining about ‘P.C. crap’
Share: Has cancel culture gone too far? Jerry Seinfeld certainly thinks so. In a recent interview with the New Yorker, Seinfeld complained about the supposed lack of good, funny TV shows, claiming that, “This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.” This incredibly redundant take is not only very untrue, but also very poorly backed up. It seems like every mediocre male comedian has been coming out of the woodwork recently to complain …
