Farewell from
the Chef
When I first started
writing this column, I had no idea what to write about.
All I knew for
sure was that I had an audience that was willing to read what
I would print. With that in mind, I managed to find
something to write about each and every week.
This will most likely be the last time I am privileged with
the opportunity to regale Cal State Long Beach with my thoughts
on stuff.
Therefore, I just wanted to use this final column to shed
light on things that should be addressed on this fine campus
of ours.
First, this Forty-Niner staff works hard - relentlessly hard
- to produce a coherent, informative and entertaining paper
every day for free.
From the advertising staff to the reporters to the copy editors
to the main editors, every level of this paper hustles tirelessly,
usually, to bring the campus the high-quality publication
that it deserves.
Keeping those things in mind, read the Forty-Niner daily -
it's good for you.
Also, if you didn't already know, our university has a fine
NCAA Division I athletic program.
Watch the basketball games, water polo games, volleyball games,
soccer matches and any other sport I may have missed. The
sports teams at The Beach are truly fun to see and deserve
adequate recognition from their fellow students.
For example, the men's basketball team faced a tough challenge
about two weeks ago against the University of North Carolina-Charlotte,
who were Conference USA Champions last year, and barely anyone
showed up to The Pyramid.
It would have been nice to see more faces in the stands cheering
for their team.
Just as a reminder and added incentive, all home games for
any sporting event are absolutely free to all students. So
there really isn't any excuse not to go.
But if you really cannot make it to those games, then pick
up the Forty-Niner the following day and find out all about
it from the top-flight reporting of our sports staff.
Lastly, I just wanted to thank everyone who read the paper
and my articles day after day.
Thanks, everyone. It's been fun.
Good luck on finals and God bless. The Chef hopes that all
of you have a very safe and Merry Christmas.
Ben Dimanpindan is a print journalism major at Cal State
Long Beach.
