Students for Quality Education held a strike across campus Wednesday on April 10 to protest against the 34% tuition increase approved by the California State University Board of Trustees last semester.
Protesters were holding signs containing phrases, such as “freeze the fees” and “stop the 34% tuition increase,” and later hosted a few student speakers.
The Board of Trustees met to discuss a tuition increase proposal and officially passed it on Sept. 13. The proposal consisted of raising tuition rates by 6% each year for a collective five years and is set to begin in the fall 2024 semester.

A wide array of artwork lines the walls of Kadema Hall, the art department at Sacramento State. In an industry that has historically excluded Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Sac State’s fine arts department is bringing diverse artists and their works into the limelight.
R.W & Joyce Witt Gallery viewers can expect to see artwork that critique religious upbringings and challenge societal norms in the hall.
Vibrant depictions of the Virgin Mary, bright blue and green luchador masks and icons of Filipino culture are just some of the many pieces that have been displayed in the gallery. The State Hornet spoke to several BIPOC artists featured in the gallery carving out a space for diverse artistry in the fine art community.

Before vampires sparkled in the sun and went vegetarian, they wore sleek leather jackets and dangly earrings in the 80s gothic film “The Lost Boys.”
“The Lost Boys” is a 1987 film that takes place in the supposed murder capital of California, the Santa Clara Pier, in a town overrun by mysterious, dangerous and powerful vampires.
These vampires aren’t only vengeful and peculiar, but also extremely good looking. The vampires of this film wear short crop tops, embellished leather jackets, mullets and chains to portray their version of sexy vampires.
A lot of 80s special effects films like “Teen Wolf” and “Harry and the Hendersons” rely on make-up and costuming to create a peculiar storyline, but “The Lost Boys” relies on the natural beauty of their actors.
