UCLA Health told UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine residents they would receive a $5,000 housing stipend after tax. When the residents and fellows received their stipends Aug. 31 as part of their September paycheck, they noticed it was hundreds of dollars short.

Medical residents at UCLA
said they received only a frac-
tion of a $5,000 housing sti-
pend that the David Geffen
School of Medicine promised
them.
The David Geffen School of
Medicine sent an email to resi-
dents and fellows in February
announcing its first housing
stipend, which was supposed
to be $5,000 after taxes.
Program directors at UCLA
Health planned to share this
information with prospective
residents, according to the
email. Medical residents, or

Professor helps creates website to track Costa Rican baby monkey

BY NIDHI UPADHYAY
Daily Bruin senior staff

A new website allows stu-

dents to virtually follow a mon-
key through a jungle more than
3,000 miles from UCLA in an
effort to engage the public with
science through technology.
Susan Perr y, a professor
in the department of anthro-
pology , led the project and
has been studying capuchin
monkeys in the Lomas Bar-
budal Biological Reser ve in
Costa Rica since 1990. HowTo-
BeAMonkey.org offers insight
i nto the da i ly routi ne of a
baby capuchin called Winslow
Homer, as well as the team
of researchers who track the
monkeys’ behavior.
The website was created by
Matt Ziegler, a doctoral can-
didate in computer science at
the University of Washington
and a former field researcher
on Perry’s project. Ziegler said
about 7,000 people have visited
the website since its launch in
2015.
Perry said the website has
two main goals: to encourage
people to connect with nature
and to demonstrate the meth-
ods of observation and data

in their research. She said she

Westwood| City fails to provide students basic living essentials
BY OMAR SAID
I
t takes a
village to
raise a child.
Thank goodness
UCLA students have Culver
City.
Students have long
complained about their needs
being neglected by the West-
wood Neighborhood Council.
Many have perceived these
complaints as being primarily
about the lack of nightlife –
bars, dancing, live music and
pool tables. Sometimes, the
conversation has extended
to lack of affordable and
compelling restaurants, such
as Lemonade, which almost
came to Westwood Village in
2015 before being covertly
ousted, or Tocaya Organica, a
new Mexican restaurant which
missed its announced goal to
open in late spring of 2018.
And don’t even get students
started about the lack of avail-
able movies on Westwood’s
pitiful two movie theater
screens.
It’s understandable that
students have called for a
transformation of the Village.
And these demands have
historically faced resistance
from community leaders
because it’s easy to refute
calls for more bars by evoking
imagery of alcohol flooding
down Broxton Avenue.
But I hate to break it to you:
Entertainment isn’t the only
thing broken in Westwood. So
is your access to basic needs.
Westwood is still reeling
from the debilitating, linger-
ing effects of the previous
era, despite the WWNC being
replaced by the new North
Westwood Neighborhood
Council – a council that
promises a more student- and
business-friendly neighbor-
hood. Despite offering mini-
mum services for students, the
Village does not offer options
for students looking to fulfill
their most basic shopping
needs.
There are few stores built
CARTOON
to serve students, and if
these issues are to be solved,
soon-to-be-elected NWWNC
members must be prepared
to tackle them, ensuring
Westwood serves students
from the ground up – giving
them everything from basic to
entertainment needs.
It’s clear Westwood is
broken, and not just when
it comes to nightlife. Sure,
WWNC kept that out, and it’s
what most arguments have
been about thus far.
Despite Westwood’s
hobbling services, students
have lived on. With services
like Target, Ralphs, Chick-
fil-A – except on Sundays
– and In-N-Out, it seems like
students would have all they
might need in the Village.
But ask any student, and
you’ll hear about the calculus
of choosing the best from
generally subpar options.
When it comes to students’
everyday needs, Westwood’s
CityTarget is the only real
option for buying home
furnishings, cookware and
many other staple goods,
including electronics.
But Target hasn’t been
able to match the demands
of students. Westwood’s
Target is a CityTarget, which
are typically smaller than
others in the franchise.
CityTarget stores are meant
to serve communities with
smaller retail space and less
reliance on one store for all
goods. Unfortunately, while
homeowners in Westwood can
mostly drive to other shopping
areas, students can’t. This
results in high demand for a
store that has lower stock, less
staffing and few options.
During the first days of
move-in this year, families
piled in to help their children
buy last-minute essentials.
Lines at both of the store’s
entrances were long, and it
was difficult to move around.
Like any student would, I
visited Target to get bare
necessities: a trash bin and a
broom.
Wednesday, October 3, 2018
Despite the thousands of students living in Westwood to attend UCLA, the Village has few options for them to shop at and locate the essentials they need while living here.
Three days and many hours
later, I was still broomless and
still searching for somewhere
to throw my trash. That’s still
the case even a week later.
Westwood’s Target sold no
plastic trash cans, let alone
brooms by the time I got there,
and there were few, if any,
employees who could talk to
customers with questions or
concerns. And when I pressed
staff members for answers, I
was told I could just order a
bin online.
It’s not just brooms and
trash cans. Westwood has

Q&A
Alumna makes Broadway debut in ‘Waitress’
BY DEIRDRE KLENA
Daily Bruin contributor
Nicolette Robinson spends her days
serving up lobster rolls on stage.
The UCLA alumna recently made
her Broadway debut, starring as Jenna
in “Waitress.” The show, currently run-
ning at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre
in New York, focuses on a waitress
who escapes the struggles of an abu-
sive relationship in the kitchen. The
first mother and woman of color to fill
the role, Robinson spoke to the Daily
Bruin about motherhood, femininity
and her transition from television to
theater.
Daily Bruin: You’re the first wom-
an of color as well as the first mother
to star in “Waitress.” How do you feel
about the achievement?
Nicolette Robinson: I feel
honored and grateful. Every day I
continue to take in how special this
moment is, and that it’s larger than
just being a special moment for me.
It’s really opening a window for other
women of color to play roles like this
on Broadway, which is important at
this time. It’s something that inspires
me and helps push my dreams for-
ward, and I hope it does the same for
other people. I’m so grateful for this
opportunity and the fact that this will
hopefully create more opportunities
for people after.
DB: Do you think these factors will
influence your portrayal of the role in
any way?
NR: Sure. When you perform, you
bring your own experience and your
own life and personality to the role,
and you try to sprinkle things in
based on your personal experiences.
Being a mom has changed my life tre-
mendously, and it certainly informs
my work in a deeper way. Hopefully
the people that come to see the show
will see that. I think that having a
woman of color in the role brings a
new perspective to be told and heard.
DB: What are some of the most sig-
nificant experiences that have shaped
you as a performer?
NR: As a performer, you get no’s all
the time. You get doors shut in your
face and you hear “no” more than
Conference to shed light on African diaspora in Italy
BY CAMERON VERNALI
Daily Bruin staff
Organizers of a conference
about migration issues in Italy
ran into a potential problem:
They were afraid one of the
speakers would be denied entry
by A mer ica n border patrol
agents for visiting Iran years
prior.
T h e c o n fe r e n c e , “ It a l y
and the Geopolitics of Migra-
tion: Aesthetic Approaches,”
w ill take place Thursday in
Melnitz Hall for the first half
of the day and Royce Hall in
the afternoon. An additional
screening of Medhin Paolos’
“Asmarina” and a Q&A will be
held in Melnitz on Sunday. The
event is a collective effort of
multiple departments on cam-
pus, including the Italian, Afri-
can American studies, and film,
television and digital media
departments.
The conference features art
focusing on the migrant experi-
ence created by migrants living
in Italy. Dominic Thomas, chair
of the UCLA French and Fran-
cophone studies department,
said he hopes to hu man ize
migrants living in Italy by shar-
ing their stories in the cinema
and literature presented at the
conference.
“What we think in organiz-
ing this conference is (to show)
the number of filmmakers and
authors of fiction that have con-
centrated on this particular
issue,” Thomas said.
T wo f i l m ma kers, a mon g
other panelists, will attend the
event: Documentary filmmaker
Paolos will host a Q&A after the
screening of her film “Asmari-
na,” while Andrea Segre’s “The
Order of Things” will be shown
later in the day. “Asmarina” fea-
tures Eritrean and Ethiopian
communities in Milan, while
“The Order of Things” focuses
on the politics and challenges
of the Libyan and Sicilian bor-
der relationship.
The current political climate
in Italy and its relation to immi-
gration over time has sparked
different views of the situation,
expressed creatively in this
event. Many African migrants
you hear “yes.” It can be challenging.
Hearing “no” quite often, it can either
take you down or it can force you to
be resilient. I think that, going on
this journey, the ups and downs of my
career have certainly helped me be
stronger and also not take moments
like these for granted. Certainly, that

has been a significant thing. Also,
motherhood: The journey of growing
a human being in your belly and then
childbirth and now navigating my
way through motherhood is certainly
one of the biggest things in my life
because it’s shaped me as a human
being and (has also affected) my
immigrants but also deport
established migrants who lack
a paper trail, Harrison said.
Migrants, Thomas said, are
often talked about in statistical
forms but rarely discussed indi-
vidually as a way to understand
them on a personal level. With
the power film and literature
possess to bring these people
to life, Thomas hopes the media
screened at the conference will
humanize migrants and change
how people approach the topic.

ciate professor of cinema and

ian cinema before she joined

work.
DB: “Waitress” focuses on female
empowerment and independence.
What aspects of the musical present
these themes?
NR: Sometimes (my character
Jenna) bakes and puts all her emo-
tions – her sadness, her dreams – into
the conference. She was espe-
cially excited to bring “Asma-
rina” to campus since it shows
how Eritrean and Ethiopian
communities have been present
in Italy for decades and have
mixed in with Italian culture
over time. This intermingling
of cultures presents a new look
at migrants and how they affect
Italy as a whole. Immigration
is more than just recent news
stories – it’s an integral part of
Italy’s history, she said.
“What these two films really
do is that they give us very com-
plex visions of migration in and
through Italy, especially Afri-
can migration,” Greene said.
Greene thought “The
these pies. From my experience as a
woman, I feel like we carry so much
within us. She uses these pies as an
escape. She puts all of her creativ-
ity and her passion into these pies.
Within the show, we use the pies in
a fantastical way, and when I make a
pie it’s a little bit out of real time and
into a more fantastical world. I think
it shows how large her imagination
and creativity can go. Sometimes
I feel like, as women, we put our
dreams, our needs and our passions
aside in order to help other people. I
certainly feel that as a mother, and I
think that’s something Jenna in the
show deals with in her journey – find-
ing a way to put herself first. I think
she discovers that through her love of
making pies.
DB: How has your work on TV
shows like “The Affair” prepared you
for your Broadway debut?
NR: Theater is a whole other beast
than television. Theater is probably
my first love. I grew up in theater
and I studied theater at UCLA. In TV,
you show up to work one day and do
a bunch of takes and you hope they
capture the magic in one of those
takes, and then you watch it postpro-
duction. With theater, you’re right
there in front of a live audience every
single night. And every night is dif-
ferent depending on the energy of the
audience and the energy of the per-
formers and how you’re feeling that
day and what emotional headspace
you’re in. It really is exciting and
alive. I love working in the theater
because you just show up and go on
a journey every single night and take
this audience on the ride with you.
DB: Did you ever envision yourself
going into the world of Broadway?
NR: That’s been my dream since I
was very young. I’m not sure if I knew

it was ever going to happen to me. I’ve
certainly dreamt of it. I’ve dreamed
of it since I was very small. I listened
to cast albums in my living room and
sang along to it in the car. I dreamed
about seeing myself up on the stage
one day. This is certainly like I’m liv-
ing a dream right now.

Ghost stories liven up unremarkable visit to Bullocks Wilshire

Los Angeles is supposed to be the City of Stars, but once those stars fade, where do they go? Do they stay behind, forever attached to their final location, spooking
guests who dare to enter their domain? Or do they just simply disappear? Each week, Daily Bruin columnist Eli Countryman will set out to discover the truth by
exploring supposedly haunted places in the Los Angeles area, rating their spookiness so you don’t have to.

T
he task was
simple: find
evidence of paranormal
activity in the Bullocks
Wilshire building.
However, as a college stu-
dent, I had to first plan a meth-
od of transportation to make it
to my ghostly meetup. As any
skilled ghost hunter knows,
Uber works wonders. En route
to Bullocks Wilshire, now the
Southwestern Law School, my

floor of the building, where an
old-fashioned machine room
with the old elevator engines
sat in the dim light.
As we entered the elevator,
Kane shared her stories of the
little ghost girl – who she play-
fully calls Evelyn – messing
with late-night guests. Dur-
ing late nights at work, Kane
said she would often enter the
elevator and click the button
for the fifth floor but would be
brought to the second f loor
instead. “She wants me there,”
she joked of the little girl. She

second-floor button, but quick-

go to the third floor instead.
The button briefly lit up but
darkened again. After pressing
the button two more times, we
were finally taken to the third
floor. I brushed off the occur-
rence as a mechanical glitch,
despite the coincidental nature
of the story Kane had shared
moments before – I did not yet
know that others would tell
me similar stories about the
second floor.
Other notable sights were
the secret compartments in the

the room’s wooden walls and

Fleming were both called to
the 2018 CONCACAF Women’s
Championship for the United
States and Canada, respec-
tively.
This season, the Bruins have
scored 19 goals through 10
games, with 159 shots and 83
on target. Over the same period
in the 2017 season, without
absences from Mace or Flem-
ing, UCLA recorded 27 goals
with 154 shots – 75 of which
were on target. Mace netted
seven of those goals in the first
10 games and Fleming had
accounted for two goals and six
assists.
The drop could be due to the
strength of schedule this year,
but despite the Bruins record-
ing close to the same number of
shots and shots on target, they
have lacked the same goalscor-
ing prowess of early last season.
Mace and Fleming were both
placed on the MAC Hermann
Trophy Watch List prior to the
start of the season, an award
given to the best collegiate
female soccer player in the
nation.
Last season when the
Bruins advanced to the NCAA
Women’s College Cup final,

and 33 points, while Fleming
recorded six goals and eight
assists. Fleming was named a

Senior golfers mentor freshmen fighting to prove themselves

BY SAM CONNON
Assistant Sports editor
Four young Bruins joined UCLA
men’s golf this September, and while
some were thrown straight into the
fire, others have been fighting for the
spotlight.
The one freshman who has seen time
in the lineup this fall is freshman Sean
Maruyama, while Rory Feng, Ahmed
Ali and Bryan Wiyang Teoh have been
playing in individual tournaments.
Maruyama was in the lineup for the
Golfweek Conference Challenge, but
after finishing in 56th place, he was left
out of the rotation a week later at the
Windon Memorial Classic.
“As freshmen, when you’re com-
ing into a situation where you’ve got
upperclassmen who are really good
and understand what they’re doing, it’s
tough to crack into that lineup,” said
coach Derek Freeman. “You have to
earn everything you do, so the fresh-

legiate in September. One week later, he posted a top-10 finish at the Mark Simpson Colorado Invite. just like the upperclassmen understand
that.”
Maruyama had a top-20 finish at the
Windon, but he competed as an indi-
vidual and his 2-over 218 did not count
toward the Bruins’ seventh-place finish.
The other three freshmen – Feng, Ali
and Wiyang Teoh – made their season
debuts at the Northern Intercollegiate
on Sept. 15 and 16. Wiyang Teoh tied for
28th, the best finish of the freshmen,
and followed that up with a top-10 finish
at the Mark Simpson Colorado Invite a
week later.
Wiyang Teoh said that while he has
been away from some of his teammates
when playing in the individual tourna-
ments, they have still built a relation-
ship and helped him mold his game.
“I came in (to the season) not play-
ing too well, and my game plan was a
little off,” Wiyang Teoh said. “The good
thing is that, as time went on, the team
relationship got a little better. We got
used to each other ... and helped push
each other a little more.”
One of the senior leaders on the
team, Jack Ireland, has been the top
UCLA finisher at both of the team tour-
naments this season. He said that he
and the other three seniors have made
it a group effort to help acclimate the
freshmen.
“I think (the seniors) all are (tak-
ing on leadership roles),” Ireland said.
“I think all four of us, being different
people, have different things to say
about what guys should do, and that
helps the guys out a lot.”
Ireland, however, said that he feels
like he and the other seniors have taken
their leadership roles seriously off the
course as well.
“It’s cool to be in a position to be able
to help them out, and not just things in
golf, but the little things,” Ireland said.
“How do I park in Lot 7? How do I get to
(Bruin Plate) for dinner? How do I get
an ID card?”
The four freshmen, Ireland and the
rest of UCLA will next play at the Golf
Club of Georgia Collegiate from Oct.
19-21.
