In Search of Reform A brief history and (critical) In Search of Reform A brief history and (critical) argument in favor of third parties By: J.J. Christensen The independent voter and the third party spirit is necessary in the United States for this exact reason. The two parties cannot be allowed to continue to attempt to scare voters into falling in line come November—while they enact harmful and unpopular policies with impunity. It is also not the job of the voters to keep a party in power—it is the job of parties to court voters. If the Democratic Party does want these votes, they will go out and chase them instead of sidelining them. The more that the Democratic Party—the modern party most hostile to third party movements—moves further to the right, the more that liberal voters are left homeless and might end up finding their way to the likes of the Green Party or candidates like Cornel West—parties and candidates who will speak up for them without hesitation. You cannot, then, blame those people for voting for third party candidates. And the more people that find their way to these candidates, the closer they get to that ever-tantalizing 5%. Whether or not third party candidates like Jill Stein, Cornel West, Claudia de la Cruz or even Chase Oliver of the Libertarian Party cost either side enough votes to swing key states is yet to be seen. It is yet to be determined if any third party since Ross Perot has actually spoiled an election instead of simply bringing non-voters to the ballot box. If they do, however, do not place the blame on them. Place the blame on the corporate-funded, “too-big-to-fail,” entrenched two parties who continue to act as if they are owed their positions in government by divine right. #portlandstateuniversity #portlandstate #pdxedu #pdxopinion #portlandstatevikings #portlandnewspaper #studentnewspaper #psuvanguard #government #politicalparties #thirdparty #reform #politics #independentparty #democraticparty Slide 1 & 3: Ted Etyan, edited by Haley Hsu/PSU Vanguard
Find it at 5th: Apples A Greek film exploring memo Find it at 5th: Apples A Greek film exploring memory, identity and the search for self amidst a pandemic By: Milo Loza A worldwide pandemic causes amnesia, plaguing a large portion of the population and stripping them of their identities. Our unnamed main character wakes up on a public bus in Athens without any identification. When no family or friends come to claim him from the hospital, he is enrolled in a government program that is designed to help people like him build a new identity. In this seemingly modern world without the internet, our main character plays a cassette tape each day that tells him to perform casual tasks or try hobbies and take photos in hopes that each experience may assist in jogging his memory. In the meantime, we watch him eat the only thing he’s sure of—apples. … Released in November of 2020, Apples reflects the grief, loneliness and confusion that was felt by the world during our real life global lockdown. “There's that loneliness in it where he's desperately searching for something that's not real and he can't seem to move past—or he's moving past something in the wrong way.”—Clara Johnson—Projectionist at 5th Avenue Cinema #psuvanguard #portlandstateuniversity #artsandculture #portlandstate #pdxedu #psu #lockdown #filmscreening #5thavenuecinema #filmscreening #apple #pandemic #confusion Slide 1 & 3: The film poster for Apples.

PSU and LAIKA Announce New Partnership PSU’s Gro PSU and LAIKA Announce New Partnership PSU’s Growing Relationship with LAIKA By: Benjamin Wenck Given LAIKA's growing interest in the city, it was only a matter of time before PSU and LAIKA officially collaborated. Associate Professor and Director of PSU Film School Kristin Hole, expressed enthusiasm about this connection. “In film… we can have a diverse and nontraditional student body, so giving them those skills and directly mentoring them in areas that are employable, will help diversify these industries,”—Kristin Hole—Associate Professor and Director of PSU Film School #psuvanguard #portlandstateuniversity #artsandculture #portlandstate #pdxedu #psu #film #PSUstudents #collaboration #newpartnership #newcurriculum #diverseworkforce Slide 1: Students sit on a couch in the art building.

PSU students and professors come together to talk PSU students and professors come together to talk politics Civil Discourse Group encourages respectful conversation during a tumultuous election By: Henry Danford On Oct. 28, a small group of Portland State University (PSU) students and professors gathered around a table to spend an hour discussing politics in the new PSU Civil Discourse Group. The only thing these people had in common was their goal to respect one another despite disagreeing on reproductive rights—one of the most controversial issues this election season. Each week this election season, the Associated Students of PSU (ASPSU) hosts the Civil Discourse Group at Smith Memorial Student Union to allow members of the community to talk with others about the issues that affect them. This group is open to anybody and offers the campus a rare refuge from the divisive rhetoric that has become a hallmark of American politics. “We wanted to make sure that if people did have feelings that they had a space where they feel like they could express it without feeling judged, without feeling discriminated against, anything like that. This conversation allows other commuters, specifically [those] who may not feel politically accepted into the school, to have a space as well.”—Rowan Bean—the ASPSU Senate Speaker #portlandstate #portlandnews #portlandstateuniversity #pdxnews #pdxedu #psuvikings #psuvanguard #studentnews #studentnewspaper #psustudents #civildiscourse #politics #psustudentsandfaculty #opinions #discussion Slide 1 & 3: Students and faculty members sitting together at the Civil Discourse session on Monday, Oct. 28.

Students Facing Sanctions after Spring Protests De Students Facing Sanctions after Spring Protests Demystifying the Student Conduct System By: Ella Colcord Following the spring 2024 protests, the conduct process was initiated for students alleged to have committed violations. Students received various penalties—referred to as academic sanctions—if found responsible. PSU Vanguard spoke with PSU’s chapter of Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) about the conduct process, sanctions and their advocacy for students. FSJP has assisted with about a dozen conduct cases. … In the initial meeting, the conduct officer outlines the process and questions the student. According to Benitez, they pressured students to be fully transparent, saying it was in their best interest to provide information. Students were told if they were found to have withheld or lied about details, they would face harsher sanctions. The conduct officer suggested they may be more lenient if students cooperated and disclosed their involvement or information about others. “It’s really about figuring out they were there. It’s not really about anything they actually did; evidently, the only thing they need is proof that they were there physically. They can be found guilty by association.”—Molly Benitez—a Member of FSJP and Assistant Professor of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies #portlandstate #portlandnews #portlandstateuniversity #pdxnews #pdxedu #psuvikings #psuvanguard #studentnews #studentnewspaper #psustudents #academicsanctions #studentconduct #psupresident #protest #sanction Slide 1 ~ 3: Parker Patnode/PSU Vanguard
