Making Their Mark
It’s the week of finals, and the Wilson Library at the University of La Verne is overflowing with students. The spacious study is filled with a multicultural mix of students. Most are traditional undergraduates between the ages of 18 and 25 – many of whom are native Californians who live on campus or commute from nearby cities.
But scattered among them are international students who are thousands of miles away from their families. More than 800 international students called ULV home during the 2013-2014 school year. They all have their own stories of how they chose ULV and what they hope to gain from their adventures. Throughout a typical semester most of these international students go unnoticed by traditional students, remaining a mystery to them.

Women’s Group Celebrates Suffrage Anniversary
Imagine Love

For all his fame as a recording artist and founding member of the Beatles, many might not have imagined that John Lennon started out as a writer and an artist, one who sketched and painted up until his death in December 1980.
Lennon actually studied at the Liverpool College of Art as a teenager in the late 1950s, well before the skiffle-rooted band that he helped form first went on to fame in England and then exploded onto the global pop music scene in 1964.
Members of the socialist feminist group Radical Women gathered Sunday to commemorate the 95th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the 70th birthday of member and eco-socialist advocate Christine Browning.
Bryce Beseth and his wife Gay Nakahara are sometimes able to skip going to the grocery store. A produce section, figuratively like Whole Foods, is just steps away in their backyard, abundant with fruits and vegetables. In early October, avocados hang from the tree, enormous and green; in summer, the limes are round and juicy, and in fall the Granny Smith apples are glowing.
Aloe plants, most commonly used for medical purposes, are scattered around the backyard, along with a large cherimoya tree that delivers decadently sweet fruit. Jalapeno peppers bring out an aromatic spicy delight in the garden. For further visual pleasantry, Bryce and Gay plant Kalanchoe flowers, which bring a vibrant and vivid atmosphere as other different fruits and vegetables grow around them.
