3 NEWS 5 SCENE 6 OPINION #BroncoPosi honors Legendary director Finding purpose as diverse identities visits campus college students

COLUMN Students Show Up to Support Sam Perez ASG President on Presidential Search Committee

Dear members of the Santa Clara community, The correspondence thus far surrounding our search for a new president following Michael Engh S.J’s retirement has yet to come from one of the students involved in this process. I write to you today in hopes of bringing forth a different perspective to provide further transparency and heightened communication after the most recent meeting between members of the Presidential Search Committee (PSC) and student leaders. I do think that at the most recent meeting on Jan. 11 with members of the PSC, steps were made in a positive direction. To give the student perspective value is to acknowledge the equal investment we all have in this en- deavor—the equal care with which we regard who will lead us into becoming a place where each student feels a sense of belonging and where we can be the family and community that we often distinguish ourselves to be. Now that students will be involved in the final interview stages for the presidential candidates, the Trustees have committed to reforming the protocols of the Presidential Search Committee so students, faculty and staff receive proper representation. We are also taking a closer look at the constituencies of our university governance committees beyond the PSC as an added result of this situation. Due to these new measures promised in the most recent meeting, I feel far more optimistic in working together toward our shared goal of enriching the student experi- KEVIN NGO ence at Santa Clara to the highest extent we At a rally organized by members of the Adjunct Faculty and Lecturer Organizing Committee on Saturday, supporters of adjunct faculty participated in a dem- are capable. onstration over the lack of fair vote on unionization for adjunct faculty members outside Golden Circle, the annual univeristy fundraising event, in San Jose.

After years of dreaming, a few months of intense planning and generous aid from the community, professor Michael Whalen finally got his wish: Francis Ford Coppola, acclaimed director of “The Godfather” (among other masterpieces) visited Santa Clara. Despite the torrential rain pounding against the de Saisset Museum, Coppola— who once braved the tropical rainforests of the Philippines for more than a year to film “Apocalypse Now”—took the time to chat with students and members of the community for the sixth annual Vari Symposium.

Future’s latest album challenges the norms of music and the whole music world

Azariah Joel The Santa Clara

Future has defied the system again by ignoring traditional album cycles. This past week, the be- loved artist dropped a new album just three months after “Wrld on Drugs” was released. Future has gained a reputation of releasing two or more projects a year since he started creating mixtapes about a decade ago. “The WIZRD,” his tenth album, arrived not too long after the preview songs were released. Yet to my surprise, the album hasn’t gained much attention in the media. “The WIZRD” has about 20 songs—only two of which have features. Future has explained the meaning behind the title was based on a nickname the late rapper OG Double D gave him. Future then began posting on Twitter, before the album’s release, with snippets of the project’s tracks which were accompanied with a visual—some of which featured the most iconic wizards in pop culture: Lord Volde- mort from “Harry Potter,” Saruman from “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Wizard of Oz.” FACEBOOK The album starts out with a song titled “Never Stop” which Future’s latest album, “The Wizrd,” was released by Epic/Freebandz on Jan. 18. The album is signature Future material which steps out of the usual album release cycle used by most contemporary artists. On “The Wizrd,” Future challenges his artistic world’s complacency in and propogation of recreational drug use—something fresh and rebellious. establishes a slow, melodic mood. Predictably, Future dives right into his drug addiction. He says, “Tryna that may be impossible to change shake the devil, on promethazine/ because of his fan base.
