WE ARE ONE DANCING WITH THE STARS HeForShe ﬁ ghts for SJSU’s gender equality

By Adolfo Oseguera @aosogordo

A new organization hit San Jose State University aiming to fi ght gender equality. Two weeks ago, the HeForShe SJSU organization was started to help educate students about the global issue of gender equality. “Our organization helps students by providing them with an opportunity to participate in a (worldwide) gender-equality movement and spreading awareness about the issue,” said Vice President of Finance Galina Owens. According to the offi cial HeforShe website, the organization was started by UN Women and is dedicated to gender equality and fi ghting for women’s rights. “HeForShe is a solidarity movement for gender equality that brings together one-half of humanity in support of the other half of humanity for the benefi t of all,” according to HeForShe. Actress Emma Watson is the spokesperson for the worldwide HeForShe campaign. She introduced the campaign a year ago during a UN Women gathering. She discussed the idea of how both men and women should be able to be feminist without fearing the rage of society. “Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong,” Watson said Kavin Mistry | Spartan Daily in her speech to the UN. “It is time that we all see gender as a Monserratti Corona, senior psychology major and Jeremy Dalton, kinesiology major, mem- spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals.” bers of the Spartan Mambo and Salsa Dance team performed at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Haley Bowers, president and founder of HeForShe SJSU, Jr. Library yesterday. said it was time to have something on campus to help students with issues involving gender equality.

LETTERS TOO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,

During this current semester, San Jose State University sent out approximately fi ve “AlertSJSU” emails to students. In the last year alone, we received 17 alerts. We are quickly approaching this statistic from last year considering we are only seven weeks into school. One of the most frightening and shocking emails that were sent right before school began was when a dead body was found on campus. SJSU never sent a follow-up email about the details of the death and if students were in danger. Not once, have we received follow-up emails regarding incidents that happen on campus. Along with the fact that we do not receive follow- up emails, we receive the emails hours aft er the incident occurs.

By Jose Munguia @JRMunguia92

San Jose State women’s soccer goalie Zoe Makrigiannis has made a name for herself on the fi eld and in the SJSU women’s soccer record books. Zoe Makrigiannis recently made SJSU women’s soccer history by becoming the school’s all-time leader in career individual shutouts with 12 total. But the soccer star was not always so sure she wanted to be a goalie. Born in Surrey, British Columbia, Zoe Makrigiannis learned the sport from her father when she was just 4 years old. The local soccer league had a 5-year-old age require- ment to participate at the time, but her father told league officials she was a year older than she actually was. From that point on, soccer was a part of Zoe Makrigiannis’ life. She did not have to look to professional players or teams for inspiration at a young age.
