Parking permit cost to increase

Parking plans to raise price to $229 in 2013 and $236 in 2016.

JOEY BECERRA Daily Titan

The rising price of parking permits will not stop anytime soon.

Parking permit fees will increase to $229 in July of 2013 and to $236 in 2016, according to Cal State Fullerton’s List of All Student Fees document provided by the university.

Some students like Miranda Galindo have given up on parking on campus entirely.

“I used to have a parking permit last semester, but I don’t have one anymore. It was such a pain to find parking,” said Galindo, a secondyear psychology student, about parking on campus at CSUF. Galindo described the parking situation at CSUF as a nightmare.

“Everyone’s getting here at the same time,” she said. “And it’s a big frustration trying to find parking on campus when everyone is fighting for spots.”

As if students didn’t find the parking situation at CSUF bad enough, students who park on campus are also facing increases in the cost of their parking permits.

WILLIAM CAMARGO / Daily Titan While some students avoid parking tickets by buying permits, they may face future problems as permit fees increase. Currently, normal parking tickets cost $60 and parking with a forged ticket costs $300.

It is hard to imagine that one day he could be a big superstar, riding in limousines, getting catered to and living the life.

Even if this were to happen, though, Jonathon Thiranop would remain humble. Upon talking to him, one can quickly see how he is surrounding areas in the world of DJ-ing.

Sporting shades, a tank top and a big smile, Thiranop, 20, one half of the DJ duo Dyphekta, opened up about everything from his family life, his friends, who I fondly come to think of as a mini-fraternity, and his music,

his deepest passion and something he is quite talented at.

His dad, an immigrant from Thailand, and his mom, an immigrant from Indonesia, met in California where they started a life grounded on hard work and sacrifice. When Thiranop’s dad, Uthai Thiranop, who is manager of the Titan Student Union cafeteria, came to America, he was 18 and had no money.

Although his parents were very supportive of everything Thiranop did, his childhood wasn’t perfect, but made him a stronger individual overall.

The TitanCard is not just a card students use to check out books and print out homework. It has many more features students can utilize, like as a check card for checking accounts and as a bus pass.

As many students know, money can be added to the TitanCard and used around campus. What many students don’t know, said Gladys Maldoon, assistant director in the Division of Information Technology, is that it can be used as an ATM card when linked to your US Bank checking account.

Titan Tusk Force starts its annual week of Titan Pride to encourage student involvement CAMYRON LEE Daily Titan

Titan Tusk Force’s annual Spirit Week is in full swing at Cal State Fullerton and the organization has already hosted a variety of events to promote school pride, community and greater student support for the Athletics Department. “(The Titan Tusk Force) puts on events like Spirit Week this week to make students aware that

Maldoon said students should keep in mind that only TitanTender can be used for copying and printing in labs. Checking accounts and TitanTender are two different things.

TitanCards can also be used as a free buss pass on the Orange County Transit Authority. In order to ride the bus for free, your card needs to be encoded, which can be done on the first floor of the Pollak Library.

Faculty, staff, undergraduates, graduate students and visiting scholars are all eligible to ride the bus for free.

if you are a Titan, you should be proud to be a Titan and make the most of your school experience. It makes college more enjoyable for students who are attending,” said Alina Rotariu, the director of Tusk Force.

They kicked off this week with a fashion show which revealed a Titan-inspired clothing line available at Titan Shops.

A “Housing Social” was hosted Tuesday in the courtyard of the new student housing on campus.

The social was open to all students, not just dorm residents.

They chose to hold the Tuesday festivities in the student housing area to get those living on campus excited about being a part of CSUF. The event included free food, drinks and music.

Wednesday the Tusk Force hosted Spirit Week’s tailgate in Parking Lot G before the men’s soccer game against Cal State Bakersfield. The goal was to get students to attend the event for the free food and stay to support their fellow Titans on the soccer team. A major goal for the Titan Tusk Force is to create a larger student turnout for sporting events on campus.

“School spirit is basically students supporting their fellow students by

coming out and cheering them on,” said Taylor Delgado, the athletics director for the Tusk Force. “We want students to get involved, go out to the games and support our Athletics Department, and at the same time get involved on campus.”

Delgado, a second-year business major, started at CSUF as a fresh-

man. She said she did not know a lot of people until she became more involved on campus. She hopes these events will give new students the same opportunity she had to build friendships on campus.

SoCal may be at risk for tsunami Geologist shows how a tsunami works SUSANA COBO Daily Titan

Mark Legg, geologist and president of Legg Geophysical, appeared at the Department of Geological Sciences seminar Wednesday as a guest speaker for a lecture titled “Tsunami Hazards in the South Coast Region.”

Bryan Rue, a geology major, said he found the seminar to be informative and interesting.

“Dr. Legg was my mentor–taught good merit badge in boy scouts,” he added.

The seminar addressed whether people should be concerned about tsunamis in Southern California.

“I think it’s good to be well informed, but personally I don’t have a fear of tsunamis,” said Adam Piestrzeniewicz, a geology major and tsunami enthusiast.

The risk of a tsunami is rare in Southern California, but we have seen, in different scenarios, that they can be fatal. They are unpredictable, can wipe out lives and destroy thousands of expensive homes, he said. Tsunami damage also impacts tourism, coastal infrastructure and downtown and coast-

al areas, and the long-term need of rebuilding.

Tsunamis are a series of long waves that can range up to 100 feet or more, or be so small that they are not noticed by the untrained eye, said Legg. This is contrary to what some people typically believe. Some think tsunamis are a single wave or giant walls of water.

However, the series of waves are not only caused by earthquakes, but can also be a result of volcanic activity, landslides, meteorite or asteroid impacts, or other large disturbances

of the sea surface, like glaciers or nuclear explosions. While the initial force stops, a large volume of water generates tsunamis because the water still has to settle–like a domino effect.

To better explain, this can be simulated with a bowl of water.

Drop a pin and ripples of water will travel outward in all directions, making waves, one after another.

That’s the equivalent of a tsunami on a smaller scale.

In regards to earthquakes, the size of the tsunami depends on the

earthquake magnitude, and these usually come from “big thrust faults,” Legg said.

“But in Southern California we don’t have that (big thrust faults), but that doesn’t mean we don’t have dangerous tsunami faults,” Legg added.

Most damaging tsunamis are caused by earthquakes of magnitude 7 or higher.

Legg said if there was an earthquake of magnitude 9 in the Aleutian Islands or in Samoa, the energy of the tsunami would be strongest traveling to San Diego in comparison to zones like Japan, the western coast of South America and parts of the eastern coast of Asia.

But you can’t outrun a tsunami, Legg said. The best method of surviving a tsunami is evacuating the beach city within two to three hours of the quake, even if the epicenter of the earthquake is not where you’re located.

“When it starts getting kneedeep, which is a half a meter roughly, that’s when it starts to become potentially deadly, and if you add a bunch of debris, it’s even worse,” Legg said.

Huntington Beach and Dana Point are examples of tsunami-ready cities in Southern California, he said.

CSU to compete BROOKE McCALL Daily Titan

The Cal State University Summer Arts is looking for CSU students to submit entries for the 2011 Media Arts Festival.

Submissions are due no later than Oct. 3 and can be made online at MediaArtsFestival.org.

The festival, sponsored by the CSUF Radio-TV-Film Department and the Entertainment and Tourism Management Program, is open to all 23 CSUs and scheduled to be held Nov. 12. It will be the third consecutive year that the festival is held at CSUF. There will be several awards, including $1,000, $500 and $250 cash rewards. The areas for submission are narrative, animation, music video, experimental, documentary, television, interactive media and video games.

“While I love connecting students with the industry, I think that getting to see the best work that is happening across the Cal State system really gives students, not just from Fullerton, but from everywhere, a sense of where the bar needs to be set,” said MAF Director Joanne Sharp. “What I hope is that everyone comes and sees the screening, then goes back and makes it their mission to do better and win the festival next year to create something that’s going to be impressive to our audience, faculty and industry judges.”

The finalists will be judged by pro-

fessors from each of the CSU campuses in each of the media art disciplines.

The faculty judging takes place at the Chancellor’s Office in Long Beach where the nominated pieces in each category will later be sent to industry professionals in the specific categories.

Shelley Jenkins, a professor in the RTVF Department and Fullerton MAF contact, encourages students to submit their work.

“It never hurts to get feedback.

(CSU students) do get feedback from doing this even if they don’t get to the final round ... If you are chosen and if you actually make it into the nominee group even if you don’t win, you now actually have industry professionals telling you why you were selected, what you did well,” she said.

The festival will host a private industry mixer and keynote speaker for the nominees. After the judges select the finalists, a free public screening and awards ceremony will be held in Steven G. Mihaylo Hall Nov. 12 at 6 p.m.

At last year’s Media Art Festival, Cambria Edwards, 20, a CSUF RTVF student, submitted a media piece in the music video category.

Edwards recalls the feelings she had when she attended the awards night.

“You were definitely on edge because you don’t see the other finalists’ films until the awards night,” she said.

“You are also nervous because not only are you representing yourself, but you also want to do your professors and

ALVIN KIM / Daily Titan A seminar called “University-Wide Consortium on e-Learning” was held Wednesday.

CSUF gets technological ALVAN UNG Daily Titan

About 50 people, consisting of faculty, staff and administrators from all departments, gathered Wednesday in Steven G. Mihaylo Hall to listen to a presentation about technology.

In addition to listening to the seminar titled “University-Wide Consortium on e-Learning,” the attendees were treated to lunch.

Speakers at the “University-Wide Consortium on e-Learning” went over the use of new and developing technology, stressing how it could benefit both students and teachers.

“Technology is a tool for every segment of campus activity,” said Sean Walker, vice chair and associate professor of biological sciences. “If it doesn’t make your life easier, you should not use it.”

Walker, who was a speaker at the seminar, stressed the importance of adopting new technology as a way to facilitate engagement and collaboration between students and teachers.

He talked about various Google Apps available to teachers, including Calendar, Docs, Spreadsheets and Forms.

He also gave a few examples of how teachers could take advantage of such tools, like scheduling appointments with students, posting syllabuses, keeping track of attendance and even to “fly through Rome” using Google Maps, he said.

Walker has used Google Apps for Finish in Four advisement plans, students’ presentation notes and potluck plans.

“I was shocked that it worked,” he said about his potluck plans coming together. He stated that Google Apps are powerful tools for students to use as well.

The best part of working with Google Apps was that he wasn’t “swimming in sheets” by the end of the semester.

Dave B. Brounstein, vice president of Echo360, said their Lecture Capture technology could be utilized as a way to enhance both teaching and learning.

Echo360 is a company that developed Lecture Capture as well as other technologies, such as SafeCapture HD and EchoSystem.

Lecture Capture allows instructors to capture all aspects of a lecture, including video, audio and a feed of the projector.

The content is then uploaded to a cloud online where students can access the lecture. So far, he said, students who have used Echo360’s Lecture Capture said they love the online content and “personalized playback,” or the ability to view the lecture at one’s own pace.

The lecture capture technology, he said, helps keep course materials available for students and improves information retention.

He said teachers could “see more than the tops of their (students’) heads” because students would spend more time interacting with the professor, rather than constantly scribbling everything down.

Lynda Randall, professor of secondary education and faculty coordinator of technology, said she was pleased with the level of energy and turnout Wednesday.

The purpose of the seminar, she said, was to raise awareness about these technological tools in order to save time and money, as well as encourage student-teacher interactivity.

By teaching faculty, staff and administrators across all disciplines how best to utilize new technologies, “we’re promoting, encouraging and enhancing innovations” in technology, Randall said.

Randall said there are future plans to educate CSUF faculty and staff on developing technology, including a campus-wide technology day and a seminar on optimal use of iPads.

Edwards recommends CSUF students to get their work “out there.”

“It really was fantastic to see the work of the other students from different schools (last year),” she said.

“They are all doing some amazing

things and I would like to see more Fullerton students have their work in there.”

PARKING: Ticket money pays for program that allows students to ride bus ...Continued from page 1 Student fees related to parking have been on the rise since 2009 and are expected to keep rising. According to CSUF’s Parking and Transportation website, student fees for parking permits were $169 for the spring 2009 semester. As of July 1, 2010, permit fees increased to $220 for the spring and fall semester, and the price will continue to increase.

CSUF’s Parking and Transportation website states the increase in student parking fees pays for the three new parking structures built on campus. The site also states the most

recent addition of the Eastside Parking Lot supplies an additional 1,500 parking spaces.

Students on campus are also disgruntled about having to pay parking tickets.

Maria Ramirez, a child and adolescent development major in the Credential Program, paid for her first parking ticket Wednesday.

“It really pisses me off,” said Ramirez. “You see nice (displays) telling you how many parking spaces are left and my money might have paid for that.”

Jay Jefferson, Associated Students Inc. vice president, describes CSUF’s parking tickets as a “redis-

tribution of wealth.”

Jefferson said the money collected from parking tickets goes back to the students.

“As a student it obviously adversely impacts me … But what I found interesting is that the revenues that are generated from those ticket fees go toward paying for a program that allows students to ride the OCTA transit system for free,” he said. “So being a student who used to catch the bus here, it kind of changed my perspective, it made me see it as something that is providing a service.”

Genevieve Smith, a comparative literature student, said if she needs to get to class, she is willing to park in a

spot that will get her fined.

“It sucks going to your car and finding a ticket,” she said. “But if you need to get to class, you do it anyway.”

According to CSUF’s Parking and Transportation website, students are charged for parking permits and fines because the parking program on campus is wholly selfsupported.

The FAQ section of its website states that the purchase of a parking permit pays for the university to “build and maintain the lots, provide frequent patrols to parked vehicles and purchase supplies and equipment necessary to operate the program.”

Recall petitions surface against council Residents begin to collect signatures STEVEN YUAN Daily Titan

The Fullerton police beating of Kelly Thomas has spiraled into a simmering political matter, as Fullerton residents have joined forces to recall Mayor F. Richard Jones, Mayor Pro Tem Don Bankhead and Councilman Pat McKinley.

The recall petitions against the council members were approved Sept. 9, and the organizers immediately launched a plan to circulate the petitions and gather signatures from Fullerton registered voters.

Tony Bushala, a real estate developer, and Chris Thompson, a Fullerton school board member, have organized a recall effort against the City Council members.

If Bushala and Thompson can gather at least 10,554 registered voter signatures per council member petition by Feb. 16, 2012, the members may be voted off the City Council in the next election primary.

Many of the volunteers have different motives for supporting the cause.

“I want to send a message to the Fullerton Police Department. I want that message to be heard by the people that support the Fullerton Police Department. I want that message to resonate through the people that support the people that support the Fullerton Police Department,” said Chuck McGlawn, a retired businessman, while working a table at Albertson’s on Malvern Avenue to get signatures.

In terms of how many signatures have been gathered so far, organizer Chris Thompson did not want to give specific numbers for strategic reasons.

However, he hinted that the effort is doing well.

“We are gathering at a rate which will allow us to qualify in a fraction of the time required,” said Thompson.

TITANCARD: A student ID, ATM card and bus pass ...Continued from page 1

ALVIN KIM / Daily Titan Few students utilize all the features and perks of their Titancards. Many don’t know that it is also an OCTA bus pass.

The OCTA bus program is managed by Parking and Transportation, and eligibility for students is based on fees that students pay.

According to Maldoon, the card also gives students discounts at participating off-campus venues like restaurants and movie theaters.

Students living on campus also use their cards to access their dorms and meals at the Gastronome, which is managed by TitanCard systems.

The card also gives access to several facilities on campus, like free admittance into sporting events and priority seats at the annual Associated Students Inc. Spring Concert. For students who are graduating, the card is used to pick up graduation tickets.

Departments also use the TitanCard for various purposes, like Chemistry Lab 101, as a fourth-year student pointed out.

“You had to have a balance on it so that if you didn’t return the equipment at the end of the semester, they could take it out of your card,” said Patricia Mendoza, 20, a health science major.

Faculty and staff also benefit from their TitanCards.

“Faculty and staff are also able (to use) it as their library card, it also gives them discounts off campus, and I was recently told by a faculty member that it gave him free admittance/discounts into museums in other countries,” said Maldoon.

TitanCard also offers specialty cards on campus for special events and the cost is dependent on several factors like color, magstripe and the design on front and back.

According to Maldoon, prices usually range from $1 to $5 and $50 for a custom design.

A new bonus the TitanCard Office is offering is TitanCard GiftCard, which can be personalized and used anywhere TitanTender is accepted.

call effort as a politically motivated grudge.

“I disagree that any of these three council people have done anything that would rise to the level of malfeasance and anything worthy of a recall,” said Bennett.

McKinley, among those being targeted for the recall, said, “It’s a political ploy.”

“The same people spent a lot of money trying to defeat me last November. Now they see an opening and are trying to do it another way, to get all the people off there they disagree with, and get their folks on there,” McKinley said.

DTSHORTHAND Chicano Lecture Series Thursday Gustavo Arellano’s lecture series will begin Thursday with cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz, who plans to talk about culture, art and National Hispanic Heritage Month at the Fullerton Main Library.

“It’s a pretty interesting time when those two are talking together on the stage, so that’s going to be our kickoff event,” said Alexandro Gradilla, chair of the Chicana and Chicano Studies Department.

The lecture series, titled “Gustavo’s Awesome Lecture Series,” and co-sponsored by the Cal State Fullerton Chicana and Chicano Studies Department, is back for its first night after taking a few months off during the summer.

Author of the OC Weekly column “Ask a Mexican,” Arellano is also a part-time lecturer in the Chicana and Chicano Studies Department at CSUF. The origin of the lecture series began about a year ago with Arellano’s desire to create a bridge between the Chicana and Chicano Studies Department and the community of Fullerton, said Gradilla.

Arellano’s first lecture at the library was last fall, drawing nearly 200 people. This success set the stage for Arellano to perform more lectures at the library, a speaker series that spanned the entire spring 2011 semester, Gradilla said.

Political cartoonist Alcaraz will help Arellano reboot the series tonight.

His cartoons, which address issues regarding minorities, have appeared in newspapers across the country.

The lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Fullerton Main Library, 353 W. Commonwealth Ave. Brief by Sean Viele

The number of sex partners matters Men and women are both at fault for the amount of promiscuity that is common today KIMBERLY FLORES For the Daily Titan

WILLIAM CAMARGO / Daily Titan Men aren’t criticized as much as women for their slutty sexual behavior, but this doesn’t give them the right to sleep around at will. They need some self-restraint just like women.

Contact Us at dtopinion@gmail.com

Since one in four American teen girls has or will contract a sexually transmitted disease, I have come to the conclusion that sex is being abused and girls are way, way too easy.

I grew up being taught that sex was something that was to happen between you and one other person once you were married.

Of course, this belief soon fades away once being exposed to today’s society and media where sex is used to market generally just about everything.

It’s easy to view sex lightly and not look at it as a gift of yourself for one other person.

This misinterpretation has led our society to think of sex as something casual and entertaining.

Before you stop reading let me make this clear.

This is not some religious article where I’m going to preach to you about how sex is horrible and you’re a slut if you do it before marriage. No, my view of sex is quite the opposite.

Sex is beautiful and should not

be regarded as something seen as a negative thing.

My intention was to save myself for marriage, but things didn’t turn out according to my original plan. Not that this was a bad idea.

I met my boyfriend four years ago and have been sexually intimate with him and only him.

If we were to one day break up and I desired to be in another relationship, I know I would take into account a guy’s sexual past.

It’s not the most important thing to me when looking for a relationship, but it still is a major factor. I don’t want to be sexually involved with a promiscuous guy where I’d be just another girl who let him “get it in.”

I wouldn’t want to be compared to all the other girls he’s slept with or bragged about to his friends on whether I was good or not.

The reason behind this abuse is simple: girls are giving it up way too easily.

“For a girl to have a sexual past with a plethora of guys means she doesn’t respect herself. She uses sex to try and be accepted,” said Scott Kajisa, 18, a biology major.

Ladies: Have some respect for yourselves. You don’t have to be a virgin to have respect for your body. Everyone should.

After all, it’s the only body you have and abusing it just isn’t right.

There are other ways to be accepted and despite a common belief, guys will still like you even if you don’t have sex with them.

And if he doesn’t like you because you won’t give it up, then he shouldn’t be worth your time.

Guys: You too should have respect for yourselves.

It is more commonly acceptable for males to be promiscuous than it is for females.

However, this doesn’t mean you guys have to act like society has said you’re allowed to and be so easy yourselves. Why do you feel it is necessary to have sex with every girl that opens up her legs and lets you?

“I wouldn’t want a girl to be sleeping with a bunch of guys. I’d feel used and it basically shows she’s not smart,” said Nabeel Mohammad, 18, a business major.

“It’s a gift to me and a gift to her. It’s not right to abuse it,” Mohammad said.

This statement proves that it is not only girls who take into account the sexual past of a potential mate.

It can be as important to a male as it is to a female.

If acquiring a reputation equivalent to that of a harlot isn’t enough to stop you from being promiscuous, then maybe being cognizant of sexually transmitted disease statistics will be.

According to NursingSchools. net, the rate of women with an infectious disease is three times higher than men.

It further states that only about 54 percent of college students will use a condom regularly when they have intercourse.

About 19 million new infections occur every year. These affect both males and females aged 15 to 24.

We have all this newfound freedom here in college now that we are on our own.

But is it really necessary to use sex as a hobby?

Let sex be something special and intimate that isn’t shared with the whole world.

Have some respect for yourself and stop being so easy.

Students’ thoughts on Sexual Partners Men get away with everything, so why not have them sleep around with as many women as possible? Eight sounds reasonable.

Karl Peralta Kinesiology Major

Anything over five before you find the right companion is a little much ... Sex should be an act taken seriously, not how it is now.

Elizabeth Wilkins Biology Major

Women aren’t “allowed“ to be promiscuous like men, but it’s not fair. Who’s to say they can’t act like college guys do?

Francis Halloway Philosophy Major

I say people should act with reason and not indulge in acts that could be harmful to their overall health.

Odd Future gets a rise out of critics JUSTIN SHANNON Daily Titan

It’s difficult to differentiate free speech from hate speech, especially within a country whose freedoms rest heavily on the First Amendment. But when it comes to these freedoms, musical artists often push the boundaries of protected speech.

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA), or simply Odd Future, is a 10-member collaborative rap group from Los Angeles who continue to make headlines with their lyrical content and public appearances. The group of friends, led by Tyler the Creator, has developed a cult following by pushing verbal boundaries, but not without criticism.

Lyrics involving rape, murder and homophobic slurs have drawn the attention of listeners and numerous people within the music industry.

Odd Future’s popular song “Kill People, Burn Shit, F--School” summarizes the group’s aesthetic. The question is, are they simply a group of friends making offensive music or are they encouraging intolerance and hate to a massive audience? Should music like Odd Future’s be censored?

“I think that stuff should be censored on the radio, but everyone should be able to say what they want,” said Molly Andersen, 23, a liberal studies major.

“If people have a choice to not listen then I think it’s OK, but if they’re forced to listen then I think it should be censored,” Anderson said.

There are supporters, protesters and people like Anderson who see both sides of the issue. Her outlook seems to be a common one. There are pros and cons to art and its ability to freely express.

“Art is where we push the boundaries of free speech. Ideas that change the norm have come from art, so we have to be careful in discouraging it,” said Adam Golub, an American studies professor.

Golub teaches an introductory course on American pop culture and sees the dangers in censoring artists like Odd Future. On the other hand, he acknowledges the influential abilities artists can have.

“They can enforce negative stereotypes...and rewarding them for degrading others may send the wrong message, but censorship is a fast, slippery slope,” Golub said.

A big reward came recently when Tyler the Creator was named MTV’s “Best New Artist” at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. An expanding fan base resulting in sold-out concerts and countless downloads is evidence that people are listening and supporting, but not everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.

Indie rock group Tegan and Sara have expressed their opinion of Tyler the Creator via their website: “Why should I care about this music or its ‘brilliance’ when the message is so repulsive and irresponsible?” said Sara.

What is the point of derogatory attacks and Odd Future’s general approach to the music industry?

Music Professor Charles Sharp thinks Odd Future is simply out to shock people and there’s little artistic value in what they do.

“Part of the price you pay for having great art is having crappy art,” said Sharp. “But the most important thing is how people interpret Odd Future, not what Odd Future are intending to do.”

Although Sharp said censoring Odd Future would be as ridiculous as the music itself, Sharp also said that Odd Future’s issues mostly stem from the stereotypes that the group references.

“I’m concerned that they’ve become popular because they’re satisfying grotesque stereotypes, but frankly I think that Justin Bieber is doing a lot more cultural harm than Odd Future,” Sharp added. “He promotes a consumerist mentality over a creative one.”

Dead awaken at ‘3AM’ CLARK PAGADUAN Daily Titan

The dead are rising at 3 a.m. and for one lonely, graveyard-shift security guard, his sanity is about to be tested.

When sucked into their world of the undead, his life is in jeopardy whenever he enters a possessed room. The dead come to life and are after him.

This is the premise that sets up 3AM, a horror short-film created by and starring Cal State Fullerton students. The film will be showing at the third annual Big Bear Horro-Fi Film Festival Friday through Sunday. It will be competing against other films for various outstanding film awards and honors.

3AM, which was written by Emmanuel Alvarado, 24, a radio-TV-film major, and produced by Guillermo Arredondo, 34, an RTVF major, was originally a group project for an RTVF class last semester.

The film had no intention of being anything beyond a class project, but an actress on the cast suggested to Alvarado and Arredondo that they submit the film for entry into the festival.

“We pretty much thought that we had nothing to lose by sending it in,” said Arredondo. “Next thing we knew, they contacted us and told us we were in. We were really stoked.”

The Big Bear Horro-Fi Film Festival is an annually held event that takes place at Big Bear Lake, Calif. The festival showcases a mix of indie and studio projects that are catered to audiences within the horror and sci-fi genres. The festival is gaining in popularity and had doubled in attendance last year from the previous year, according to its official website.

Arredondo was told by festival rep-

CLARK PAGADUAN / Daily Titan Radio-TV-film majors Emmanuel Alvarado, 24, and Guillermo Arredondo, 34, worked on 3AM, which will be showing at the third annual Big Bear Horro-Fi Film Festival.

resentatives that over 500 films were received for entry into this year’s festival. Only 24 films were selected for viewing from the entries with 3AM being one of them. This was a dream come true for filmmakers Alvarado and Arredondo.

“When we were told of the process of how difficult it was to get in, I was just looking at him (Alvarado) saying, ‘Dude, we should be really proud,’” Arredondo said.

Alvarado added, “Yeah, at the beginning of the semester, we were feeling sky high. Then when we started doing our next film, we had to bring it back down and move on to the next project.”

According to Alvarado, the inspiration for the movie came from a building he worked in that was supposedly haunted. With the building’s hauntings in mind, the film’s story was developed. He asked his boss if he could borrow the building for shooting the film and was given the green light.

“The story was already there in the building. There are so many stories about it. It’s pretty old,” Alvarado said.

Michelle Chi, 22, a recent theatre alumna and an actress on the film, was ecstatic when she heard of the film making it to the festival.

“I’m really excited about that. They did a good job editing it. I didn’t know how it was going to come out but when I saw it, it was really good. I was happy with it,” said Chi. 3AM, which is 11 minutes long, now has its own IMDb.com (Internet Movie Database) entry and has been submitted for viewing at three other film festivals. Alvarado and Arredondo will find out toward the end of the month whether it was accepted.

For now, the filmmakers have one message for their fellow students: “Come out to Big Bear and watch our film!”

Five Guys v. In-N-Out

ALLAN XIU / Daily Titan Five Guys, located at State College Boulevard offers more menu options, but In-N-Out on Chapman Avenue has lower prices.

TIM WORDEN

For the Daily Titan

Move over In-N-Out, a new hamburger place is taking over.

For a long time, In-N-Out was the favorite for laid-back Southern California. The fast-food chain has over 20 restaurants in Orange County and has its headquarters in Irvine.

But Five Guys, an East Coast eatery that boasts President Barack Obama as a fan, has become a new nationwide favorite.

Five Guys dethroned In-N-Out last year in Zagat’s fast-food survey for best hamburger. It defended its title this year by winning best burger and most popular large fast-food chain, while In-N-Out scored second and fifth, respectively.

In-N-Out makes its name from its excellent customer service and generous employee benefits. Established in Baldwin Park, Calif. in 1948, it has expanded to much of the Southwest as far as Texas.

Five Guys, founded in 1986, became renowned in the Washington, D.C., area for its quality burgers and has spread to 750 locations nationwide. And this year will see 200 more locations open, according to its website.

Both chains are conveniently located a block away from campus. InN-Out is on Chapman Avenue and

Five Guys, which opened in May, is on State College Boulevard.

So what is a hungry student to do?

In-N-Out is always a good choice: simple menu, quality food that is decently priced and great service. Even a demon would admit In-N-Out’s

The taste of a burger, as with any food item, is what defines a great hamburger.

How filling it is is what defines a great meal.

Saul Ulloa History Alumnus

fries are heavenly.

Five Guys, the new restaurant on the block, has the momentum of nationwide popularity. It has a cult reputation among fans and a welcoming atmosphere. The variety of burger toppings is very impressive and a regular order of fries comfortably feeds two people.

Customers can eat complimentary peanuts while waiting for their order.

Saul Ulloa, 25, a history alumnus, said he prefers Five Guys for having a home-made taste and for being more filling.

“The taste of a burger, as with any

food item, is what defines a great hamburger. How filling it is is what defines a great meal,” said Ulloa.

All good things come with a price, however. A meal at Five Guys costs considerably more than In-N-Out. A burger costs $4.79 and a meal costs nearly $10, compared to an entire meal costing less than $6 at In-N-Out. There lies In-N-Out’s allure. It is a customer-friendly restaurant seemingly void of corporate greed and still manages an old-fashioned menu and extremely affordable prices. It is comforting to watch workers cook your food fresh while you are ordering.

Adrian Banales, 23, a senior kinesiology major, said he prefers InN-Out because their burgers have a distinct taste he cannot get at home.

But it is In-N-Out’s customer service that impresses him the most.

The chain holds the customer service standard for many companies including his employer, Auto Zone, according to Banales.

“Even our management at Auto Zone says they try to have good service like In-N-Out,” he said.

Both restaurants have excellent food. The fact that In-N-Out maintains its quality at a low price is reason enough to head on down after a day of classes. Although, an occasional Five Guys burger never hurt anyone.

DJ DYPHEKTA: Thiranop, one-half of DJ Dyphekta, strikes a balance between spinning, school and brotherhood ...Continued from page 1 “(I heard) gunshots every night and I didn’t really sleep well because of it. I was really scared,” said Thiranop, who now resides in Fullerton.

Thiranop grew up in an AsianAmerican family with a younger brother, who is now a junior at CSUF. Despite his family’s hardships, Thiranop has moved on to become a wellrounded individual.

He not only has a love for music, but for athletics and the outdoors as well. This passion led to his decision to become a kinesiology major. His ultimate dream would be to DJ full time, but he would love to become an athletic trainer for a pro or semi-pro team.

Thiranop has made DJing into more than just a hobby, but also as a platform where he can inspire people.

Meagan Blanton, Thiranop’s girlfriend of two years, said she did not have much faith in this novel idea of DJing, but soon she saw how his persistence has paid off.

“I have to apologize to him, because when he first got into it and started spending $300 on things, I said he was going to be over it soon. I would keep telling him to just not do it, and despite everything I said, he kept doing it,” said Blanton, a senior at Troy High School.

Seeing the blond Blanton talk to her boyfriend, it is evident of how supportive she is of Thiranop. Blanton goes to nearly all of his gigs and even serves as the unofficial photographer at events.

Thiranop’s sincerity speaks for itself when he performs live, where the true love of the music and seeing people get into it is the ultimate reward for him.

“I do it because I love the music, not the money,” Thiranop said.

Thiranop’s partner-in-crime and other half, Ian Martinez, 19, a thirdyear fine arts major at CSUF, makes up the “Dy” in Dyphekta.

Dyphekta, a name created on a whim of inspiration, is basically a spinoff of the well-known term “trifecta” but changed to Dyphekta because their duo only consists of two. Martinez and Thiranop met during sophomore year and have been inseparable since.

“It was music that brought us together. I loved how passionate he was and he really fueled my energy and

ALVIN KIM / Daily Titan DJ Dyphekta (Justin Thiranop, 20, a kinesiology major, and Ian Martinez, 19, a fine arts major) use Numark N57 turntables and the Serato DJ program to blend different types of electronic music popularly used in clubs.

taught me a lot,” said Martinez.

The duo have already played plenty of gigs in the Orange County area, including graduation parties and other house parties in Chino Hills, Diamond Bar and a Phi Tau fraternity party on campus. Sometimes they get double-booked, but conversely gigs can be few and far between, averaging about three shows per month.

Their next show is a Filipino debut at the Summit House in October.

Along with outside performances, the pair signs contracts with the Student Recreation Center every two months to play at all scheduled events, which Thiranop really enjoys.

“(Seeing classmates) is pretty cool, because they don’t know who you are outside of class, and it also helps getting the name out for sure. Friends tell friends,” Thiranop said.

Thiranop cites Dub FX, Deadmaus, KIIS FM’s DJ Drew Scott and Pauly D as some of his biggest inspirations.

Along with electro house, Thiranop “absolutely loves” Kid Cudi. Thiranop is inspired by the raves he attends.

“The first time I fell in love with music (specifically house music) was at Audiotistic 2009. The DJs were so amazing and inspirational. From there I bought a small portable mixer for my room and began mixing there

for about a year. Now it has led me to where I am now, ” Thiranop said.

Dyphekta’s sound is something many of their friends have said sounds like what they hear in the clubs in Las Vegas. Dyphekta fuses Top 40 hits, house and electro-house beats with their Numark NS7 turntables using the Serato DJ program.

Thiranop puts 100 percent into every aspect.

“I was raised a specific way. My dad said, ‘No matter what you do I’ll support you, just manage your time well, get school done, family, friends and work, just manage it well so you can have time to do everything you want,’”

Thiranop said.

When he’s not DJing, Thiranop works part time at Target in Fullerton with two of his best friends, Martinez and Phillip Osmialowski, his longtime friend from high school. Osmialowski, much less artsy than Thiranop and Martinez, completes the trio who call themselves the “Brotherhood.”

When seeing these three interact, their bond is undeniable. Thiranop manages to balance enough time to see Osmialowski every Friday, which the friends have so cleverly dubbed “Phil Friday.”

Phil Friday, a monumental weekly event, is shared between them and

some of their other close friends. It started with a “Man of the Week” contest they held every week, choosing the guy they felt went above and beyond in some way that week. Osmialowski always ended up winning, so the contest was turned into a day dedicated just to him.

“The brotherhood is my best friend,” said Osmialowski.

Because of his genuine desire to share music with others, DJ Dyphekta is sure to become a true household name in the world of house music in the years to come.

Dyphekta will play at the SRC Friday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Students find ‘Treasures of Mexico’ SUSANA COBO Daily Titan

Whether you want to rediscover your cultural identity or are eager to learn about a culture new to you, the “Cultural Treasures of Mexico: The Phurépecha of Parangaricutiro” will fulfill your desire.

Cal State Fullerton’s Anthropology Teaching Museum created an exhibit not only to educate the public about a culture, but also to show a different aspect of Mexico.

“When people think of Mexico, they think of the Aztecs and the Mayans as one of the oldest cultures, so they forget about other people,” said Jeanne Ruppelius, 22, marketing intern for the exhibit.

The display features four different presentations: an introduction, the history and culture, the wildlife and ecology, and the language, writing and music. Each presentation includes a video portion as well as art with information

presented in English and Spanish to emphasize the bilingual quality of The Phurépecha of Parangaricutiro.

Damien Montaño, 26, a Chicano studies major, was moved by the exhibit.

“It was a beautiful thing. How else will we learn about our people and our indigenous community today?” said Montaño.

But what makes the exhibit exceptional is the community’s contribution to The Phurépecha of Parangaricutiro. “(Parangaricutiro) has petitioned for those pieces to be left in a community museum so that people in that community can appreciate their own culture,” said Tricia Gabany-Guerrero, curator and assistant professor of anthropology.

The exhibit features a large collection from Parangaricutiro, including obsidian points, blades and ceramics from the Federal Registry in Mexico, otherwise known as the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia.

“This exhibit was a first step to create a draft plan for the community museum that’s going to exist in Parangaricutiro and will be part of the plan for the construction of the exhibit space that’s going to start in January,” Gabany-Guerrero said.

Additionally, people from the Diasporan Phurépecha communities in California donated personal pieces that are on loan until December.

The Anthropology Department will host Noche en el Museo Oct. 20, an event that will coincide with the exhibit. Noche en el Museo will feature a film and discussion on the Phurépecha people and witchcraft dating back to colonial times.

“Cultural Treasures of Mexico: The Phurépecha of Parangaricutiro” is located in the Anthropology Teaching Museum, Room 426.

The Titans’ next game will be against the Cal Poly Mustangs tomorrow night in San Luis Obispo at 7 p.m.

The Mustangs currently have a record of 6-4-1 and will be coming off a 3-2 overtime loss Friday and a draw earlier last week.

The Mustangs have not won a game since their 4-1 victory over the Nevada Wolfpack Sept. 16.

Although the Mustangs have not won a game recently, Mustang forward Tiffany Gummow has put up five goals in four games. Chances are the Titans will be watching Gummow very carefully tomorrow.

After the Mustangs, the Titans will face UC Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara Sunday. The 5-5-2 Gauchos have not lost a game since Sept. 16. They are coming off a draw to Cal State Bakersfield and have clear momentum.

Gaucho Erica Shelton scored the tying goal in the 76th minute of the match to salvage a loss. Shelton has scored a goal in two straight games.

After the Gauchos, the Titans will face the 7-3-1 Long Beach State 49ers.

The 49ers have not lost a game in four straight and are coming off a 4-1 win against UNLV and a 6-0 win against Saint Mary’s. The 49ers have scored 12 goals in their last four matches and are the Big West Conference leaders for goals scored with a total of 26.

Junior 49er Nadia Link has a teamhigh 10 goals on the season and is the first 49er to reach that tally since the program was reinstated in 1998. Link

is on pace to break the record for goals in a single season at 16, which has been held since 1984.

The only team in the conference ranked better than the 49ers is the UC Irvine Anteaters, whom the Titans will battle Oct. 14 at Titan Stadium.

Although the Anteaters have been inconsistent as of late, they started the season at 5-0 and have held the No. 1 position ever since.

Natalia Ledezma is the leading scorer for the Anteaters. She has scored six goals for the season so far, including a goal that helped the Anteaters come back and win against the University of San Diego Toreros. UCI will be aiming to build on an 8-0-0 league season in 2010.

The 5-4-2 Titans should not be underestimated. The Titans have not lost a game since Sept. 9, thanks to the foot of leading scorer Ann Marie Tangorra.

Tangorra posted her fifth goal of the season against UNLV and has scored goals in three consecutive games, not to mention her hat trick against North

Titans tie Bakersfield CSUF men’s soccer battles to a 0-0 draw against nationally ranked Roadrunners RICK GOMEZ Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team may not have scored a goal, but shutting down the Division I leading scorer made up for it.

Senior goalkeeper Trevor Whiddon and the Titans’ back line endured heavy pressure and contained unbeaten Cal State Bakersfield’s dangerous forward Gyasi Zardes to a scoreless overtime draw in their last non-conference match of the season Wednesday night at Titan Stadium.

“Overall, I was pleased. Our defense did a tremendous job against (Zardes). We made it a priority to not let him score,” said Titan Head Coach Bob Ammann.

Zardes entered the match with a Div. I-leading 11 goals. He also had three hat tricks this season.

Wednesday night, he was held to four shots, three of them on goal.

Junior defender Jonathan Birt had to cover him most of the night and felt he had no problem doing it.

“He was no different than past forwards we faced. We have faced some of the top forwards in the nation already before him,” said Birt.

Zardes was able to run wild down the wing a couple times, but he was falling into CSUF’s game plan.

“That’s how we wanted to play him. We wanted him to drift outside,” Birt said.

Both teams were offensively relentless, exchanging counter attacks and creating scoring opportunities.

CSUB’s midfielder Scott Luedtke had the best look of the night with three minutes left in the first period of overtime when his shot hit the right post.

After senior midfielder Kevin Venegas’ shot was saved, CSUB’s goalkeeper Eric Shannon had a quick restart and passed it down field to Luedtke. Luedtke split two defenders with only the keeper to beat, but couldn’t finish.

ward and could have had the game winner minutes after.

After a bad clearance from the Roadrunners, Blanco had a gift he just couldn’t capitalize. His shot went wide left as the first period of overtime concluded.

Both teams had 18 shots and both shot six in overtime.

CSUF was quiet offensively through the first half but had its share of scoring opportunities, especially late in the second half.

With 12 minutes left, the Titans sent a corner kick to the middle of the box with Venegas going up unchallenged. His shot went wide left.

Later in the half, Venegas dribbled down the middle of the field on a counter attack with plenty of options to choose from.

As he cut right he was fouled with seconds remaining, setting up one more shot before overtime.

His free kick was off target.

Junior midfielder Oscar Aguero remained productive and led the Titans with six shots total, two of them on-goal.

He also had two crossed that were nearly converted into goals in the first half.

CAMILLE TARAZON / Daily Titan Junior defender Jonathan Birt plays the ball in the Titans’ 0-0 draw against Bakersfield Wednesday. Birt helped hold Bakersfield forward and Div. I goal-leader Gyasi Zardes scoreless.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t score, but I tip my hat to our defense for shutting down one of the best forwards,” said Aguero.

Fullerton will now travel to Cal State Northridge to open up con-

ference play. It’s the last time to compete in conference with the rest of the Big West beginning Wednesday.

Northridge defeated UC Davis, 3-0, in its opener Wednesday.

Texas. She has also had points in the last four, adding up to a team lead with 13 points.

Tangorra is not the only one who has had a golden foot. Ten different CSUF players put up shots against UNLV. The Titans have yet to play a Big West Conference game, but they better be ready because eight of their next 11 will be conference games.

With the Titans’ momentum, they have the ability and skill to beat any one of the conference teams and move up the standings.
