Rising indie-pop Australian band Royel Otis () performed in San Francisco at the Rickshaw Stop on May 18 to a sold-out crowd on their “PRATTS & PAIN North American tour.” The concert was opened by fellow Australian band Girl and Girl ().
Formed in 2019, Royel Otis’ name joins the first names of musician Royel Maddell and lead vocalist Otis Pavlovic, respectively. The two were accompanied on stage by keyboardist Jim Flair and drummer Julian Sudek.
After releasing three EPs and an album, Royel Otis had already secured a loyal audience in Australia. However, it was not until the past year that their success became globalized with their viral covers of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” and The Cranberries’ “Linger.”

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The name “Juneteenth” is a blend of “June” and “nineteenth”, marking the date in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of slavery, effectively enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation.
On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that all enslaved people in Confederate states were to be set free. However, the enforcement of this proclamation largely depended on the advance of Union troops. Texas was the most remote of the slave states, and the enforcement of the proclamation had been slow and inconsistent. The arrival of General Granger and his troops was the decisive factor in ensuring that the emancipation was enforced in Texas. Following General Granger’s order of the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, celebrations broke out among newly freed African Americans, and over time, the celebrations spread to other states. Juneteenth holds significant cultural and historical importance as it symbolizes the end of slavery in the U.S. and the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
The early celebrations of Juneteenth featured prayer and family gatherings and later included yearly pilgrimages to Galveston by former enslaved individuals and their families. Nowadays, the celebrations include family gatherings and cookouts, and musical performances. Some cities will hold large events, such as parades and festivals with residents, local businesses, and more.
Come and join our potluck this Thursday! Everyone is welcome, feel free to bring your own goodies as well.

In the early morning hours of June 6, at 1:46 a.m., an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base, lighting up the sky over California. This was the second of two tests scheduled for this week with the other missile lifting off at 12:56 a.m. on June 4.
These launches were part of routine operational testing to verify the performance and operational readiness of missiles and launch crews. Both launches carried inert reentry vehicles, targeting the Ronald Reagan ballistic missile defense test range at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, located approximately 5,000 miles away in the Pacific Ocean.
This pair of tests comes amid rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Russia. Two weeks ago, on May 22, Russia conducted large-scale military exercises, simulating the large-scale deployment of tactical nuclear weapons, in what the Kremlin called a response to provocations from western powers over the war in Ukraine.
The U.S. plans and announces nuclear missile tests months in advance to avoid routine testing being mistaken for an act of aggression or provocations.
The LGM-30G Minuteman III is currently the U.S.’s sole land-based ICBM and has been the primary land-based nuclear deterrent since its introduction in 1970, with 400 currently in service.

To Tase or not to Tase– that is the question:
FHDA Police Chief Danny Acosta introduced a proposal to equip FHDA campus police officers with Tasers on February 15 at a Police Chief’s Advisory Committee meeting. The proposal has since become a polarizing topic across the district and with the general public, as students, staff and community members have been raising concerns about it at administrative meetings.
Our La Voz staff reporters Xitlaly Martinez and Joshua Hascall weighed in on this discussion with two opposing stances in an op-ed showdown; swipe through the slideshow for a brief summary of their debate, or visit our website to read their full opinion pieces.
Let us know your thoughts on this proposal as well!

Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, is a federal holiday in the United States dedicated to honoring and lamenting the US military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties. The day has been observed on the last Monday of May since 1971.
The history of Memorial Day dates back to the aftermath of the Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865. At that time, various communities began holding springtime tributes to fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers, and reciting prayers. In 1868, General John A. Logan, leader of an organization for Northern Civil War veterans, advocated a nationwide day of remembrance. He designated May 30, 1868, as Decoration Day. However, in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May. This change took effect in 1971, and Memorial Day was declared a federal holiday. After World War I, the holiday was expanded to honor all American military personnel who died in all wars, not just the Civil War.
On Memorial Day, people usually visit cemeteries and memorials, and some people wear a red poppy to pay their respects to fallen soldiers. Memorial Day parades, often featuring military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations, are also a traditional way to celebrate the holiday.

We hope everyone is having a great quarter so far! Here's a quick rundown of the upcoming administrative holidays and academic deadlines for the rest of the quarter.
There will be no classes or campus services on Memorial Day (May 27) and Juneteenth (June 19) as they are federal holidays. Make sure you don't show up on campus on those days because no one will be there.
Additionally, if you are unsure about or tired of any of the classes that you are currently taking, you can choose to drop the class and receive a W until the drop deadline (May 31).
Finally, if you are transferring or receiving a degree or certificate this Spring, your graduation ceremony will take place on June 29.
There's only a few weeks left in the Spring quarter, make them count! You got this!

De Anza Classified Senate hosted an ice cream social outside the Media and Learning Center on May 22 to celebrate the hard work of the school’s classified staff, as a part of the annual statewide Classified School Employee Week, also known as Classified Professionals Appreciation Week. The event began at 12 p.m., just in time for faculty members who were taking their lunch break.
A cart of chocolate and vanilla ice cream and a table containing an assortment of dessert toppings located under the shade of umbrellas and tents enticed passerby in the warm spring weather, invoking curiosity, and perhaps hunger as well. It appeared that staff members had priority when receiving their ice cream treats at the start of the social. However, later on as the ice cream began to melt, the organizers started serving it to students.
According to FHDA Chancellor Lee Lambert, there are over 500 classified employees who contribute to the district “in a variety of critical areas, including financial aid and enrollment assistance, instructional and administrative support, compliance with state and federal regulations and fiscal standards, access to high quality benefits, essential classroom and office equipment and technology, safe and attractive grounds and facilities, and so much more.”
As the academic year comes to an end for students and instructors, many classified staff working in logistical areas are busier than ever. We at La Voz would like to extend our appreciation for all the De Anza College staff who always keep things running smoothly, making the campus a lively and safe place.

Last week, La Voz staff worked on producing layouts for the print newspaper. Opinions editor Sonny La and copy editor Joshua Hascall shared some thoughts on creating a layout for the opinions page.
“[We’re] just setting up to make sure everything fits within the confines of the page,” La said. “When you put it onto InDesign, you have to change the font, put it into columns, and adjust the formatting.
This issue’s opinion page will feature an editorial.
“I don’t really agree with it, but I think it’s well-written,” said Hascall. “But it hit me, though, the way it’s laid out. It was really nice.”

International Workers’ Day, alternatively known as International Labor Day or generally referred to as May Day, is a commemoration of workers and their contributions. This celebration is promoted by the International Labor movement and takes place annually on May 1, or the first Monday in May.
The history of May Day dates back to the late 19th century when workers in industrialized nations were facing harsh working conditions, including long working hours, low wages, and unsafe working spaces. In 1889, the Second International declared May 1 as a day to support workers and commemorate the Haymarket Affair, which took place in Chicago in 1886.
Many countries celebrate Labor Day on May 1, while some countries, such as the US, Canada, and Australia, celebrate it on different dates. In the US and Canada, Labor Day is on the first Monday of September.
On May Day, people often organize events, including speeches, rallies, and parades, to advocate for workers’ rights and to honor workers’ achievements.
Saluting the diligent efforts and commitment of workers worldwide!

If you were awake from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 20, you may have been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of polished bonnets and tires, or hear the roar of souped-up engines as the Auto Tech Club () and local car enthusiasts set up for the annual car show in Lot E on the De Anza campus.
Dre Scardina, a recent graduate of the Auto Tech program and now a lab assistant, said that this year was different compared to car shows in recent years, which saw smaller turnouts than pre-COVID.
“Before COVID it was like we had lost our way,” Scardina said. “But since then we’ve seen more and more students show up.”
The show will continue next year for more car enthusiasts to enjoy.

Happy International Women’s Day from La Voz to you!
The first ~National~ Women’s Day was observed in the United States on Feb. 23, 1909. This celebration continued to be celebrated on the last Sunday of Feb. until 1913.
It wasn’t until 1913-1914 that International Women’s Day was adopted on March 8th. International Women’s Day started in Denmark on March 19 for women to gain the right to work and vote. Russian women celebrated their first Women’s Day the same year, amidst WWI, on Feb. 23.
The date was shifted to adopt the Georgian calendar and officially became March 8th where it was quickly adopted by British women with many other countries adopting soon after.
Women wanted to celebrate their achievements and campaign for their rights across the globe. This day continues to be an advocacy standpoint for women.

President Lloyd Holmes announced his resignation on Thursday, Feb. 29, through a publicly posted “message of thanks” on the De Anza website.
Vice President of Instruction Christina Espinosa-Pieb, who served as interim president of De Anza from July 2018 through June 2020, will step into the role during the search for a new president.
Chancellor Lee D. Lambert announced that the nationwide search for the next president will begin immediately. A town hall has been scheduled for tomorrow, on Friday, March 1 at 1:30 p.m. through zoom.
Lee said this town hall will allow the De Anza community to ask any questions about the next steps.
Holmes bid his farewells with no mention of his next steps or reasons for resignation.
“It is with a lot of emotion that I write (to) you today to share that I have made the decision to leave De Anza after almost four years. My time here has been filled with highs and lows, but all has been rewarding and seen as a growth opportunity by me,” Holmes said in his letter.
This is a developing story.

The De Anza Model United Nations club () met for the first time since its reactivation on Feb. 22 in room L73. Members introduced themselves, discussed what being in the club will entail as well as what the UN is and potential flaws with its system.
Club president Yin Yung (://www.instagram.com/yinwayung/ ), 18, political science major, said he and a handful of other students who met in Jim Nguyen’s comparative politics class decided to restart the Model UN club as a way to come together over their shared interest in politics.
“It’s a great opportunity to reactivate,” Yung said. “(De Anza) has club funds already. We have a basic structure and everyone knows about (what Model UN is).”
Yung said beyond the current officer team, he is hoping to help set the club up to continue long term.
“We’ve just started. We’re laying the groundwork for what’s to come in the future,” Yung said. “Hopefully we can foster an environment where new leaders can come and take over from us.”

Bot students inhibiting precious campus resources.
Scammers invade classes, displace real students.
Ghost students continue to overwhelm De Anza and its faculty to the detriment of actual students this winter quarter.
On June 27, the spring 2023 the La Voz Editorial Board wrote about “ghost” students at community colleges. This editorial will reach further with data from a Google Form that La Voz emailed to every part-time and full-time instructor listed in De Anza’s directory.
Ghost, bot or phantom students are fraudulent students, often using artificial intelligence to get through classes. They enroll in college and apply for financial aid, receiving the awards but not doing the work or taking part in classes.
