Nigeria was declared Ebola free by the World Health Organization (WHO). According to WHO, “In order to de- clare an Ebola outbreak over, a country must pass 42 days with active surveillance in place, and with no new cases detected.” “This is a spectacular success story that shows Ebola can be contained,” said WHO. Some citizens of Nigeria were infected with the virus in July by a sick air traveler. The country of Nigeria reacted by isolating and treating those who had been infected or had come in contact with someone who had contracted the virus and then physically monitored them for 21 days. Although Nigeria did not place a travel ban, they still became restrictive of all air travel. Air traveling to any surrounding infected countries was simply suspended. “The U.S. should have temporarily re- stricted air ﬂ ights coming in from any of the Ebola affected regions,” said student Josh Lingurar. Andrew Freedman reporter for Mash- able concludes, “The CDC is currently examining Nigeria’s response to the Ebola outbreak to see if its efforts could be re- peated elsewhere.” Oppinions Chronicle Page 5 Monday, October 27, 2014 Government interests change Internet privacy By ALEX CARDENAS Staff Writer

Recent cases of online censorship have demonstrated that people need to fi ght back against intrusive governments. An open Internet is necessary to allow a web where people can easily communi- cate information without third party inter- ference, and keep governments and established businesses from using the Internet for their own interests. Since Oct. 10, the Venezuelan government has denied their citizens access to the Internet news site Infobae. The site was blocked after posting pictures of a deceased Venezuelan government offi cial that was fatally stabbed. As a counter move, Infobae recently introduced a number of unblocked do- mains which would allow Venezuelan citizens to access the news website. This event is an example of the struggle between government censorship and the public’s right to the availability of information. As the Arab Spring showed the world in 2010, the Internet is one of the most powerful weapons that the public can use Joaquin Junco Jr. | Chronicle Illustration to protect themselves from government In 2007 the National Security Agency (NSA) established a data mining program, PRISM, that collected and stored Internet communications as well as other content for portfolio fi ling. powers that would otherwise be impossible to defeat. the public to ensure that everything is done cause of this, thousands of popular sites sor Tim Wu in 2003, for the principle that The Arab Spring was a fl ux of revolu- to keep the Internet out of government’s including Google, YouTube and Facebook Internet service providers should treat all tionary demonstrations and protests, which control. would become subject to government con- Internet data equally to maintain an open ultimately led to the expulsion of rulers Issues of Internet censorship exist trol.

Dating in college can come easy for some and may not be a priority for others. Some go to college looking to fi nd their future spouse while the rest are enjoying the single life looking to have a good time. “College students prefer short-term, casual relationships over long-term relationships because it allows them to focus on their academic and career goals,” according to an article by Heather Fishel from campusex- plorer.com. “I’m perfectly okay with being single right now. I’m young and I just want to make the best of my college experience and not let anyone get in the way of it,” said student Cheyenne Crawford. Since many students would prefer to stay away from committed relationships, it can be diffi cult for people to fi nd a signifi cant other during their college career. “You can’t look for ‘the one.’ They just kind of appear naturally. There’s no big fl ashing sign saying ‘pick me.’ You still have to go on dates and make sure you can be comfortable and your absolute self with them without listening to your hungry, hungry hormones,” said student Melanie King. With over 18,000 students attending CSUSB, you would think that it would be easy to fi nd your soul mate, but “one-third of college seniors have been on fewer than two dates,” according to Fishel. “Don’t move too fast with anything. Travis [boy- friend] and I met at CSUSB fi ve months before we went on our fi rst real date and I wouldn’t have had it any other way,” added King. Based off the interviews I held, most students in their twenties aren’t even familiar with the term “going steady” or the use of promise rings.

Features Chronicle Page 9 Monday, October 27, 2014 Timely graduations grow uncommon Tuition, money and class availability all play huge factor in graduating on time

By IVANNA CARLOS Staff Writer

Nowadays, many students are taking longer than they had hoped to earn their college degree, making the four year plan seemingly impossible. It has become uncommon for many college students to graduate within the Ivanna Carlos | Chronicle Photo typical four year time frame. When CSUSB students purchase a stool in preparation for graduation, he or she might encounter unforeseen obstacles--personal, fi nancial, or a class schedule related--impediments. The CSUSB website includes a head- line link that promises incoming freshman, who sign a commitment contract, they can graduate in four years. These obligations include signing a four year pledge contract, promising to register for 15 units every quarter, and staying aware of the pledge obligations. “I am starting my sixth year at CSUSB and it is defi nitely not what I intended,” said student Suna Haddad. Most students do not start college with the intention of being here more than four years. Unfortunately for them, it happens often. Sometimes students start off their college years undecided. “Instead of jumping to a four year university, I took my time at Chaffey before getting admitted to CSUSB because I was undecided on what I wanted to do,” said student Nathan Runyan. “I felt like the professors at Chaffey didn’t care, which made me take Chaffey as a joke as if it were high school all over again,” continued Runyan. In other cases, it can be that universi- ties make it diffi cult for students. “Instead of offering classes only for selected quarters, they need to offer them year round,” said Haddad “I have to wait for them to offer the classes I need, which pushes my graduation date back and keeps me in school longer,” continued Haddad. It is hard to imagine anyone wanting to stay in school for more than four years because it just means paying more money and possibly more loans. “As soon as I transferred to CSUSB, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I put in more work and time into my studies and realized I am getting older,” said Runyan. “I realized I was wasting time and money.” In my case, it’s taking me a while because I started off as a liberal arts major and ended up becoming a communications major. I realized I wasn’t interested in liberal arts and teaching anymore. After taking a couple communication classes, I fell in love with that major. In the process of changing majors, I had wasted time, as well as money, that, unfortunately, I could not get back and it just extended my time here at school. Taking more than four years to fi nish college is usually unintentional. Who willingly wants to spend more money than they have to? Arts & Entertainment Chronicle Page 10 Monday, October 27, 2014
