Facebook IS NOW IMMORTAL YOUR PERSONA By MACKENZIE VIERA Staff Writer

Facebook had a change of heart and will now allow you to “immortalize” yourself. Users will be able to designate a page administrator who, upon your death, will be restricted on what he or she may do with your profi le. Prior to this new feature, Facebook would freeze the deceased person’s profi le, turning it into a memorial. Though the profi le would still exist, nothing could be add- ed or modifi ed. Facebook announced on their blog, after spending time talking to people who have experienced a loss, the appropriate way to sympathize with users is by showing support with developing the “Legacy Contact.” The idea of this feature was established with the help of researcher Jed Brubaker, a Ph.D. doctoral candidate at UC Irvine. “We’ve seen people use Facebook to grieve a person who has passed away, to remember that person, and to cel- Photo courtesy of galleryhip.com ebrate their life.

Women’s track and fi eld is coming to CSUSB. The team is excited to begin it’s inaugural season on Saturday, Feb. 28 at the Rossi Relays in Claremont. The track and fi eld program is still in its early stages and head coach Tom Burlesom is in the progress of building a team, as this is going to be their fi rst season competing in the California Col- legiate Athletic Association (CCAA). The track and fi eld program has re- placed CSUSB’s women’s Water Polo program, for budget purposes, which has been in CSUSB’s intercollegiate pro- gram since 1999. Associate Athletics Director Mark Reinhiller said that the addition of a women’s track and fi eld team, “allows a large number of women to compete be- cause of the nature of the sport.” Reinhiller also mentioned that it is important that our intercollegiate athletic program refl ects the campus’ six-to-four female-to-male ratio.
