Christian Questing for quidditch fame faith group no longer recognized by campus By Samson So @SamsonSo426

A notable Christian group on campus will no longer be considered an official sanctioned group at San Jose State Univer- sity because of its decision to require all student leaders to comply to a set of Chris- tian beliefs. Two weeks ago, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on SJSU was informed they would no longer be recognized as an offi- cial group and would not receive the ben- efits of an official group on campus. Issued by former Chancellor Charles Reed, SJSU becomes one of the 23 CSU campuses to implement executive order 1068, which requires that all CSU official groups allow leadership positions be open to any student. Wesley Moots | Spartan Daily Any group discriminating against its Chaser Natasha Baltazar pushes into scoring position with the help of Chaser Jacob Schekman against the Skrewts members will not be recognized by the on Sunday at the South Bay Spookfest at South Campus. university.

By Lauren Hernandez @LaurenPorFavor

Skeletons sauntered around Dia de los Muertos-inspired artwork exhibited in the City Hall Rotunda last Thursday. Colors in the Hue of Mexico: Remem- bered art exhibit served as a kick-off for Viva Fest’s 5th Annual Dia San Jose Festival at St. James Park on Saturday, according to event producer David Ocampo from Mila- gro Marketing. “There are cultural aspects of who we are embedded in this event like the pan de muerto when you came in with Mi Pueblo providing, art and some of the traditional celebrations,” Ocampo said. Specifically celebrating the death of loved ones, the exhibit had altars offered to the dead on Saturday and Sunday for the day of the dead, according to Ocampo. “In our culture, it’s common to build al- tars at home for them during this time of the year,” Ocampo said. “We celebrate their life with all of the elements that they like — the food, the drinks, and all the traditional elements that were important in their life and we bring it back for them.” The rotunda had live music from a cel- list, violinist and vocalist, all of whom were adorned in colorful skeleton masks and flowers that were reminiscent of the flow- er of the dead, cempasúchil — otherwise known as marigolds.

TUESDAY OCTOBER.28.2014 A&E 5 Review ‘Pedal ’ takes visitors on artist’s wild ride Digital media artist Genki Hagata’s exhibit allows people to interact with beautiful scenes of Highway 1 captured on coastal journey

By Sonya Herrera @Sonya_M_Herrera

Genki Hagata, a senior digital media arts major, gathered about 20 hours of video footage during his 200-mile ride from Santa Cruz to Pismo Beach. He’d known for some time the purpose of his journey. “I wanted to give a perspective into en- durance art that wasn’t just a performance, that had audience participation and interac- tion,” Hagata said. “Once I had the idea to share the coast of California, then every- thing else started to trickle into place.” Pedal California, an SJSU Art building exhibit featuring Hagata’s collection of videos and photos, documented his coastal campaign down Highway 1, allowing view- ers to immerse themselves in the artist’s ex- perience. A bright green bicycle, which Hagata used during his trip, was stationed in front of a large, curved screen. The screen displayed a slowly progress- ing view of the highway recorded from a camera mounted atop Hagata’s helmet. Visitors at the exhibit could mount the bicycle and pedal while watching the screen. The artist designed and programmed his Sonya Herrera | Spartan Daily equipment so footage moved as quickly as Adam Jones rides Genki Hagata’s stationed bicycle on the final night of Hagata’s “Pedal California” exhibit.
