ROBERT HUSKEY / Daily Titan University Police officers arrest suspect Jose Ibarra, 34, near Steven G. Mihaylo Hall Thursday after he was found riding a black bike and in posession of a backpack containing bolt cutters, a hex wrench tool, a cut bike lock and gloves.

University Police arrested a man Thursday who fit the description of a bike thief they said they had been looking for outside the Eastside Parking Structure. The suspect, who first gave police a false name and was later identified as Jose Ibarra, 34, of Anaheim, was approached by officers at 1:18 p.m. An officer recognized Ibarra from the surveillance photos and information distributed to patrol officers. He was found riding a black bike and had a backpack containing bolt cutters, a

hex wrench tool, a snipped wire lock and gloves, said University Police Cpt. John Brockie. Officers questioned the suspect before detaining him in handcuffs and putting the stolen bike in a car. According to a press release, he was arrested at the scene for an outstanding arrest warrant and possession of burglary tools. Ibarra told police he stole the bike and had stolen another bike earlier this month, which he sold to an unknown person on the street for $50. He consented to a search of his car and motel room in Anaheim, during which officers found a bike that fit the description of one stolen on Aug. 30, as well as another set of bolt cutters.

Ibarra’s arrest provided police with leads on a possible accomplice, according to a statement. University Police have been focused on apprehending those responsible for the spate of bike thefts, according to a statement. Police have received more reports of bicycle thefts so far this year than in the entire 2011-2012 school year, the Daily Titan previously reported. “For our students, the loss of a bike is significant,” said University Police Cpl. Paul McClain. Police suggest that students use sturdier “Ulocks” rather than chain-locks, which can be cut by bolt cutters such as the ones found on Ibarra. After they are identified, the stolen bikes will be returned to their owners.

Cal State Fullerton’s AB 540 Taskforce hosted an informational conference in the Titan Student Union Portola Pavillion Friday titled, “Reaching the Dream Together: Helping AB 540 and Undocumented Students.” It was a free, all-day event that featured discussions on issues affecting students who lack legal residence. The event was designed to inform students about AB 540 and the resources that are available for undocumented students on campus. “The goal… was to help educate not only the campus community but outside community members about AB 540 and the undocumented student population,” said Elizabeth Munoz, co-chair of the AB 540 Taskforce and career specialist at CSUF. Event organizers intended for college students, faculty and staff members, high school and college counselors to become educated on the matter, since many people are unaware what being an AB 540 or undocumented student means. AB 540 is a California state law that allows qualified undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at public higher education institutions. On Oct. 12, 2001, former Gov. Gray Davis added a new section to the law that allowed students who attended high school in California and graduated with a diploma or GED equivalent to pay instate tuition. Because of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students can reap the benefits of the law without fear of exposure or deportation. SEE AB 540, 3

STATE | Food labels

Food fight erupts over 37 Proposition 37 would keep processing and handling of “natural” foods in check GARRETT YIM Daily Titan

A national food fight has been instigated about California’s Proposition 37, which will require foods made from plants or animals with genetic modifications to be labeled as “partially produced with genetic engineering.” The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has no governance over the growing, processing and handling of “natural” foods. Proposition 37 would bring greater public interpretation to what is safe to eat, and the assessment of food labels. Proposition 37 would prohibit and bring specificity to labels such as “natural” and “made with whole grain,”

which may imply a certain degree of genetic processing. Consumers are also mostly unaware of modifications such as biological insecticides that are developed within crops, as opposed to being sprayed on the outside. Foods that undergo this process are called genetically modified organisms (GMO). Cal State Fullerton environmental science professor Danny Kim noted that despite the quality of taste in food being relatively the same, many are still unaware of the concentration level of biological pesticides present in some GMO foods. “If there is a genetic change that amplifies the production of insecticides (in foods), no one would know the concentration of insecticides in the GMO foods unless tested in a laboratory,” he said. “Imagine consuming Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis, a soil bacteria that produce biological pesticide) crops

C o n t a c t US U sAT a tDTNEWSDESK@GMAIL.COM news@dailytitan.com CONTACT

from many different types of grain, vegetables, and fruits. One needs to think about the accumulation of Bt insecticides in the body.” The measure has been supported by coalitions of farmers, retailers and consumers within the organic food market. Supporters have mostly argued in favor of the proposition by claiming the consumer has a right to know. “We have a right to know what is genetically modified,” said Tim Abad, 30, a staff member at the Department of Distance Education at CSUF. “From there, I can decide what I am going to eat, and if I feel like experimenting with myself, maybe I’ll decide to eat genetically modified foods.” To the rest of the world, labeling GMOs is not an uncommon practice.

DT: Tell us about yourself, where did you grow up, what did you do in school?

Brief by KYMBERLIE ESTRADA

Eanes: I’m originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, I went to undergrad in New Orleans, Louisiana, at Dillard University. I got my master’s in social work at Boston University, and left there and got my Ph.D. in social work from Clark Atlanta University. I originally thought I was going to be a hospital administrator, I thought I wanted to go into public health administration and shortly after I graduated from my undergrad, just through a series of opportunities, I figured out that wasn’t what I wanted to do. I was attracted to the field of social work by a mentor of mine, who introduced me to the possibility of that being my area of study for graduate school.

Anaheim man fatally stabbed

Eanes: I had always had a work life in residence life, which was my (entry) to student affairs, I was a R.A. (resident advisor) when I was 18 and worked in residence life all during all of my education up until my doctorate education where I then peeled off into another area part of student affairs which was working with TRIO programs (programs designed to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds). DT: Tell us about John Jay College. What was that like? Eanes: John Jay is a liberal arts institution in New York City, it’s part of the CUNY system. CUNY system is a large university system of the City University of New York; they have 15,000 students, it is a hispanic-serving institution. It is the institution in CUNY that has the largest amount of veterans of all CUNY schools. It is not a criminal justice school, it is a school that focuses on justice as a theme. But they have liberal arts majors and all of the cadre of majors that go with that. I was charged with the management of the student affairs division there. DT: How do you bring that experience here? How do you use that here? Eanes: In some ways, I have to say there are some similarities because of the diversity of the student body, because of the commuter-style of the students on campus, because our students worked more and traveled long far to get there, and very much like Cal State Fullerton students come here very focused on doing what they need to do and going. Along with being a part of a cabinet for a new president at John Jay, which this is my second time doing that, I bring the experience of having managed a large division of student affairs. DT: I’ve heard that you want to get to know the students of CSUF better, how do you plan on doing that? Eanes: Well, I’ve already been out

Mexico’s lower house of Congress recently passed a major labor-reform law that allows bosses to hire workers for trial periods and to base employee promotions by “productivity, not seniority,” according to the Los Angeles Times. This labor-reform act is Mexico’s first change regarding employing M CO A. 1970, and would regulations since M BA O evidently Achange the employer-toCK R A .B employee relationship. W W W President Felipe Calderon said the law would boost job rolls and competition in the labor market. In opposition, this bill, now on its way to Mexico’s Senate, would strip workers of benefits they have under the existing labor laws. Under the new regulations, workers would also be paid an hourly wage as opposed to the day-wage they currently have. Many union members are worried that employers will use their workers for only a few hours of the day still paying at an hourly rate. “If there is no education, no work, and thus no money, so what are we competing with?” said union member Juan Jose Reyes, 52, to the LA Times. “It’s like going to war without a weapon.”

Vice President Berenecea Johnson Eanes sits at her desk in Langsdorf Hall. For a time, she worked in Ethiopia as a professor.

and about, I visit lots of meetings, have given several welcomes and attended several student events so far. (I’ve) attended athletic events, called focus groups with small groups of students so they can get to know me, met with all the departments that report to me so that they can also give me access to the students that they work with. Getting them to know my academic colleagues and asking them to invite me to events where students are going to be present, that kind of thing. I’m also busy trying to make sure that my office facilitates and assists in making sure that both President Garcia and I are with the students for key events and that we are in a place where the students feel they can speak to us. DT: So you’re trying to foster an atmosphere of accessibility, so we can actually talk to you? Eanes: Yes, of course, we’re very reachable. DT: What are you excited about the most about being here at CSUF? Eanes: Other than the fact that I actually think that one’s experiences are what make your life rich, so any new experience is exciting, I have to say I’m excited for the opportunity to work with president Garcia and be a part of her team as she defines and focuses us on the future of Cal State Fullerton. I think that if you notice, we have a bright future ahead of us even in the midst of very challenging budget times, this is a fantastic campus with fantastic students, wonderful faculty. There’s nothing to not be excited about. It’s easy. DT: What do you hope to accomplish, what are your goals? Eanes: I haven’t finished my first 90 days, and it’s my practice that I do a lot more observation, and that goals come out of working with your team. So primarily, I have to get to know my team and then align my goals with the university’s goals. My immediate goals are to observe with my team and to align things so that we can be good partners in the process of

developing the strategic plan that will lead us to ultimate goals. DT: If you had a chance to address every student and you had a few things to say, what would you tell them? Eanes: I think I would say: An experience and investment in your higher education is such an invaluable and exciting opportunity. I would want to ask all the students to take stock of how involved they are and how much they know about what Cal State Fullerton has to offer. And whether or not they can challenge themselves to take advantage of more. Sometimes, we get used to doing the same old thing or we get into our classes and we get busy and life overwhelms us. These kinds of experiences don’t come around everyday; I would want the students to do all that they could to make the best out of being here and make sure that they develop very strong relationships with the faculty, the staff, and with each other. That they learn the power of connection and quality in their interactions; that they also push themselves to be academically excellent because also these times don’t come frequently: where you can focus on nothing but improving yourself. There will be many days ahead that you will not have this time. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Eanes: I think we have great work ahead of us and a wonderful opportunity to further enhance student life here on campus. I want people to feel free to share with me their feedback around what they think could be even better. I want people to feel as if this campus, it has students that are engaged and are having not only a good time but are learning. That we have systems that prohibit from them being confused. We want students to advised well, we want students to graduate on time. We want students to be fiscally savvy, not graduate from school with a whole bunch of debt unless they choose to. We want our students to be healthy, and I think everything that I can do to learn about what I can do from my position to help that, that’s what I want to do.

Police searched for a killer over the weekend after a man was found fatally stabbed on the sidewalk along Ball Road in Anaheim, officials said. Few details were initially available regarding the mysterious stabbing, which was first reported just after 2:20 a.m. Saturday on Ball Road, just west of Euclid Street, according to Anaheim police Sgt. Bob Dunn. “(The victim) was found by two people walking down the street,” said Dunn. The passers-by immediately called 911, and rescuers rushed the man to a hospital where he died a short time later, the sergeant said. He had been stabbed in the abdomen. No information regarding a possible motive or suspect description was known, Dunn said. Anyone with information was asked to contact the Anaheim Police Department at 714-765-1900. Brief by BRIAN DAY

Friendly fire kills five in Afghanistan Two Americans and three Afghans were killed with several more wounded after a pitched battle broke out between soldiers of both sides about 30 miles southwest of Kabul Saturday. According to the New York Times, the fight occurred just two days after joint operations between the allied forces were returning to normal. Afghan officials said there was a misunderstanding that Americans had attacked an Afghan National Army unit in error. A coalition officer said the Americans were attacked first by what may have been an insurgent attack and returned fire. An Afghan official said the fight broke out when one Afghan soldier opened fire on a small American unit as they approached a checkpoint. At least 53 coalition forces have died this year as a result of these so-called “insider attacks.” The accident came at a time of delicate relations between Afghanistan and the U.S. as American officials try to transfer more military responsibility to the growing Afghan military.

Carlos Amador speaks to a crowd that filled the TSU Pavilions at the AB 540 conference Friday. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The law gave students access to their education records, an opportunity to have the records amended, and control over the disclosure of information from the records. With some exceptions, schools must have a student’s consent prior to disclosing education records. Keynote addresses began at 9:00 a.m. with Alejandra Rincón, a longtime advocate for undocumented students’ rights on equal access to a college education. She is the author of “Repository of Resources for Undocumented Students,” which includes information on admissions, financial aid and support organizations for undocumented students. Rincón was followed by various “breakout session” workshops. They covered a range of topics affecting undocumented students, including the federal and state immigration law and information on scholarships and financial aid. The AB 540 Networking workshop, presented by Melissa Montano-Ochoa, discussed the benefits of networking within the community and on campus. She described the various tools available to students on campus, such as the Chicana and Chicano Resource Center (CRC), in Pollak Library South Room 170A. The CRC offers information about on and off campus events, scholarships, student and professional organizations, and conferences. “The CRC provides primarily resources to AB 540 and undocumented students in a number of ways,” said Elizabeth Suarez, Ph.D., the

CRC coordinator. “We provide a safe space… It allows students to network across disciplines and across campus.” Suarez said they have access to computers, printers, events and scholarship information; it is essentially a home away from home. Speaker Joseph Cervantes, Ph.D., ran a workshop titled, “Balancing the Undocumented Immigrant Label with Emotional Wellness among University Students.” The group discussed the social psychological issues impacting immigrant youth in the university, as well as the various emotional challenges they face. Another workshop provided information about the CSU admission process, AB 540 eligibility and the California DREAM Act implementation. Speaker Ray Murillo went over the CSU admission application process and admission fee waiver for students hoping to attend CSUF. He also discussed the eligibility requirements for AB 540 and the changes in financial aid and support services under AB 130, AB 131 and the DREAM Act. CSUF alumnus Carlos Amador of UCLA’s Labor Center for Research and Education was another keynote speaker for the conference. He was a part of the national campaign to pressure President Obama to stop deportations and grant deferred action for undocumented immigrant youth. He is the project coordinator of the Dream Resource Center at the UCLA Labor Center, an active member of Dream Team Los Angeles, and a board co-chair of the United We Dream network.

Gabriel Sandoval Esq., Senior Advisor and Director of Policy for the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics explained Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). The program, which was announced June 15, will allow for young undocumented immigrants to apply for a work permit and a twoyear reprieve from deportation. Students seeking deferred action must meet certain criteria in order to qualify, including having a spotless criminal record, having lived in the United States before their 16th birthday and being under the age of 31 by June 15, 2012. The candidates must have obtained a high school diploma or GED equivalent, be currently enrolled in school, or have been honorably discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces, according to Don Lyster, director of the National Immigration Law Center in Washington, D.C. Attorney Rosa Elena Sahagun, Esq., who regularly appears on CNN En Espanol, Noticias Univison and Telemundo, gave an informational speech on deferred action in Spanish. She offered several tips on how to fill out the application, and went over common errors that applicants make. She was also available for one-on-one questions at the end of her speech. “We know how CSUF is a very supportive community for undocumented students so we always talk to them whenever we need them,” said Kenia Garcia, a member of the Orange County Dream Team.

President Barack Obama announced June 15 that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would not deport certain DREAM Act eligible undocumented youth. Under a directive from the secretary of the DHS, these youth will be given a type of temporary permission to stay in the United States called “deferred action.” Deferred action is valid for two years and may be renewed at the end of the two-year period. Individuals who receive deferred action may apply for and obtain employment authorization. One former immigration officer’s assistant for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a component of DHS, said the immigration process is lengthy and goes through several people in different departments before any decision is made. Depending on what the applicant is applying for, the paperwork varies. “For instance, a form, I-130, which is a petition to bring over a relative like parents or spouse, works in two general processes,” the former assistant said in an email. “The person petitioning has to pass the rigorous background check and go through all the steps to get approved. Then the person who would be the beneficiary has to also go through a background check and go through the process of being approved,” she said. In order for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) applicants to make the process run more smoothly, getting ap-

proved the first time is the most ideal because the appeals process is expensive and requires more proof through documentation. The process fees are all listed on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website (USCIS.gov). Those fees depend on what the applicant is applying for, but to appeal a decision any officer makes is one of the most expensive fees listed. Another USCIS officer said each time someone wants to appeal, they have to pay a fee that is hundreds of dollars. “It is not cheap to become a legal citizen of the United States,” the officer said in an email. Attorney Rosa Elena Sahagun said in her speech at the conference on the importance of providing proper documentation of being in the United States in order to make sure an individual’s application does not get denied. “Things like award recognitions to your school attendance counts as proof,” said Sahagun. “If you have any expenses or anything in your name you need to document it.” The USCIS officer said everything an individual claims needs to be backed up by their words in the interview process as well as the documents they provide. “In terms of applying for DACA or really for anything with Homeland Security, absolutely do not have any sort of convictions on your record. That’s an immediate red flag for any officer investigating the applicant,” the former assistant said. According to the officer, as long as a person has all the right papers and no criminal record, USCIS does not deny an applicant.

“Nearly 40 countries around the world already require consumer knowledge of what has been genetically modified. If companies tells us GMO is safe, why can’t they at least label it like everybody else?” said Aileen Hoang, 20, a biology major. Despite many wanting to know, some already find safety in GMO products. Propostion 37’s opposition has had huge financial support from companies such as PepsiCo Inc., Coca Cola and Kellogg, as well as various supporters of biotechnological information. So far, the opposition has raked in over $32 million, with biotech company Monsanto donating $7.1 million alone. The opposition claims that if the Proposition were to pass, it would add more government bureaucracy and increase taxpayer costs and that thousands of food labels would have to be monitored, all to please special interest groups. The implications of labeling would possibly put pressure on food companies to switch to nongenetically modified ingredients to keep up with consumer wants. Inevitably, this would also carry on a degree of cost to the consumer, as well as farmers who yield GMO crops, who currently have an important financial advantage because they “use less synthetic pesticides,” Kim said. Some associations such as the National Products Association (NPA), agree with the argument of “the right to know,” but disagree with Proposition 37 itself.

Courtesy of MCT The opposition to Proposition 37 claim there would be more government bureaucracy and taxation for citizens if it passes.

“Proposition 37 places every supplier, manufacturer and retailer of food products at risk of unreasonable and frivolous litigation… We’re especially concerned about the effect the enforcement provision could have on small retailers across the state, not to mention the possibility of fewer food options for California consumers,” said the NPA Board of Directors in a statement. Certain foods would be jeopardized, despite coming from a natural source. But the wording of Proposition 37 requires the process of making the food also to be natural. “Olive oil that is just olives, for example, is completely natural. But because olives are pressed to make oil, it cannot be labeled ‘natural’ under

the law. Nor can any wheat that has been milled—which is 100 percent of wheat, and none of it is genetically modified—it is also penalized under this law,“ said Hank Campbell, author and editor of online science forum Science 2.0. Proposition 37 seems to adhere to the emotional weight of “the right to know” and untested science, but it also may bring a greater weight than is necessary to natural food processing. Kim left off on a more philosophical note. “After all, Paracelsus, the father of toxicology, once said, ‘All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous,’” Kim said.

Time to move forward without the paddles The mere fact that we’re still practicing spankings in schools is just shocking JONATHAN WINSLOW Daily Titan

“Everything’s bigger in Texas,” as the old saying goes. From steaks, to belt buckles, to the paddle-born welts on a high school girl’s bottom. No, that wasn’t a call-back to the 19th century, it was a reference to a curious story that took place just last month. At Springtown High School in Texas, a 15-year-old female student named Taylor Santos was allegedly caught cheating and given two days of inschool suspension. The story took off when Santos decided she didn’t want to miss any more class, and instead opted for a paddling, which is still considered an acceptable form of punishment. To make matters worse, the one delivering the paddling was her male vice principal, who spanked her so hard she developed welts her mother mistook for burns and blisters. There’s so much wrong with this that one hardly knows where to begin. For starters, it likely comes as a surprise to many to learn that corporal punishment such as paddling and spanking are in fact still allowed in many schools. Beating sense into students is still a legal form of punishment in 19 states, including Texas, reports the Los Angeles Times. Even in those states that have banned it, it is still permitted in private schools, with New Jersey and Iowa being the exception. NBC News reported that 220,000 students were subject to physical punishment in the 20052006 school year alone. Modern society is filled with relics from our country’s past. For example, summer vacation from school is born from olden times, when students would need to stay home during certain seasons to help with planting and harvesting. However, there are some things that we don’t need any more. Beating a young girl until she nearly bleeds would hopefully immediately spring to mind as one of those things we could do to part with. Even now, paddling is primarily practiced in Southern states, which traditionally lean more conservative in such things. Going further, there’s a much darker element to this story that many seem to be overlooking, perhaps intentionally. Santos’ mother is speaking out against the school, absolutely livid at the injuries her daughter received during the paddling. She’s spoken out saying that it was wrong for a man to administer the paddling, claiming that men are too strong to be hitting more frag-

OPINION

OCTOBER 1, 2012 MONDAY

In the U.S. Currently, 19 states allow corporal punishment to be practiced in public schools (private schools are not affected). These states are: Alabama Arizona Florida Idaho Kansas Louisiana Mississippi Oklahoma Tennessee Wyoming

Arkansas Colorado Georgia Indiana Kentucky Missouri North Carolina South Carolina Texas

In the 2005-2006 school year, there were reportedly 49,197 students hit in Texas schools (1.1 percent of all students). (Center for Effective Discipline)

ile girls like her daughter. One would think that the fact that an adult male was spanking a teenage girl would raise some alarm bells just by itself. It seems somewhat naive to completely ignore the possibility of a sexual component in a story like this. School policy at Santos’ school states that only a faculty member of the same gender as the student may administer corporal punishment. This is a policy that the vice principal that spanked Santos claimed to be unaware of. Instead, he administered the spanking himself while a woman observed. If there was any sort of sense to be found in the school, they would have made sure no men were even looking into the room at the time, much less delivering the paddling themselves. But I suppose we can’t expect too much from a learning institution that still clings to an archaic practice. Imagine if sexuality came into play. We’d essentially be paying the school administrator to get his sexual thrills. There is no discussion of such an idea in this particular case, though it’s no great leap to imagine that it happened at some point. Harkening back to the 220,000 students that were physically punished in the 2005-2006 school year, even if only 0.1 percent of people are sadistic, it suddenly becomes a strong possibility that at least one of those cases was sexual in nature. Corporal punishment no longer has any place in modern society. We’ve developed to the point where force is no longer the only way to get a point across, and we’ve nothing positive to gain from paying administrators to partake in such questionable activity.

The only thing that can possibly be considered more valuable than money is time. So what happens when you lose 19 years worth of time from a wrongful conviction? In 1994, John Edward Smith, then 18, was convicted of the murder of two high school students killed in a drive-by shooting. Smith, a former gang member, was falsely identified by a witness and convicted of the murder. At the time of the murder, Smith continued to insist that he was at his grandmother’s house and was not involved. Unfortunately, witness testimony by one of the victims, Landu Mvuemba—deemed the LAPD’s “star witness”—placed the blame on Smith, according to the Los Angeles Times. Flash-forward 19 years later and add the interest of a wrongful convictions group called Innocence Matters and the now 37-year-old Smith’s world is again turned upside down. Finding inconsistencies in Mvuemba’s testimony, the group brought the case to light once more. When Mvuemba, who was in prison for sexual assault, was questioned, he admitted, “I didn’t see anything.” According to Mvuemba, the police pressured him into identifying Smith as the shooter all those years ago. But what does this new-found freedom mean for Smith, a man who has spent the majority of his life behind bars? It is unlikely he can just pick his life up where it left off like nothing ever happened. Harold C. Hall is another man wrongly accused of murder by the LAPD according to another article by the LA Times. Hall

also spent 19 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, convicted of a double-murder back in 1985. The conviction, according to the LA Times, was “based on ‘falsified’ documents by a jailhouse informant and a confession Hall made when he was 18.” Hall had admitted guilt after being detained in handcuffs for several hours without food and nonstop interrogation. The Ninth Circuit had overturned the convictions and Hall was released in 2004. According to the LA Times, a panel of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled Sept. 24, that Hall would be able to sue the LAPD. But will the money he receives should he win make up for the years he has spent away from his loved ones? Picture this: A couple meets at a Boyz II Men concert in 1994 and they get friendly with each other in a bathroom stall. Nine months later, out pops a baby boy. The kid grows up and has a healthy childhood; first steps, first words, first kiss and first car. He graduates from high school and is ready to go to college. On his 18th birthday, his friends take him out for his first adult magazine and lottery scratcher. It’s one of the best nights of the kid’s life. The time from the concert to the lottery ticket has been a relative time-frame of how long Smith and Hall have been wrongly imprisoned. These men can never get back all the time they have lost. Due to false evidence, these two men were sentenced to almost two decades imprisonment. These two men, as well as anyone wrongfully imprisoned, should absolutely have the right to sue for the time they have lost. They say time is money, but how much money can really make up for all the time, grief and hardships these men have faced over the two decades they were imprisoned? Hall had already tried to sue the city,

Number of cases From January 1989 to March 2012, there have been 891 cases of exoneration (being found innocent of a crime after first being convicted of said crime) in the United States. Before the John Edward Smith case, California alone had 79 exoneration cases with 23 being from Los Angeles county. (National Registry of Exonerations)

California (79) Contra Costa 1 Fresno 2 Kern 20 Lake 1 Los Angeles 23 Merced 1 Monterey 1 Orange 5

Riverside 1 Sacramento 2 San Diego 4 San Francisco 4 San Joaquin 1 San Mateo Santa Clara 10 Siskiyou 2

but “failed to allege violation of the 5th Amendment.” “I spent 19 years in prison for something I did not do, and I deserve, as any other inmate who is found to be innocent, to be compensated,” Hall said to the LA Times, “We cannot get our life back. We can never get what they have taken from us.” While Smith is at this time just happy to be a free man, he should be able to take legal action against the LAPD and the city for the trouble he and his family has gone through. The careless acts of a few can lead to condemnation for an individual. It’s not only a matter of those wrongly convicted, but also for their supporters and friends, their families and loved ones. Or have we learned nothing from The Green Mile?

RE: To those who have ears, let them hear First off I would like to sincerely congratulate David Hood on his much more restrained writing style this semester, compared to his style with his older section: “The State of Christendom”. In the article, it is stated that the audience around the preacher was closed-minded, and as such his message was lost upon the crowd. This I sincerely believe to not be the case. While I was not there to hear this man’s preaching, I did see a video of him, and I’m afraid the reason the message was lost upon

the crowd is because he claimed moral superiority to those in it. However, I was there to see another preacher on campus; different, but with the same message. I turned and left shortly after seeing him, because his statement was that I was “a convict in the eyes of God.” The average person does not like being talked down upon. When someone claims a moral superiority to us simply because of something that they claim to believe as truth, we tend not to listen, but instead ridicule them. The message of the Gospel might be love and peace, but then why are these preachers out spouting off about fire and brimstone? It seems that these preachers of love and peace seem to cherry-pick from the Bible for their own uses. “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven,” Luke 6:37. It would seem that atheists

can play their little game as well. How would you (David Hood), as a Christian, react if I, as an atheist, were to stand in the Quad shouting that your life choices and your belief system were going to lead you to eternal nothingness? Would you not ridicule me? Would you not claim that I was wrong; spouting lies and twisting facts? Would you appreciate it if I dodged answering your questions by hiding behind my “faith”? This again is the classic problem that Christians have—the burden of proof. When challenged with an answer, rather than answer the question as a rational human being these preachers hide behind their holy book, their God, or their prophet and attempt to bully the person asking the question into feeling like they are wrong. Shock-and-awe tactics have no place in philosophical discussions. I have met only one peaceful preacher on this campus over the four years of attending here, and I met her here at the Titans for

Reason booth at Discoverfest last year (she was discussing things with the head of the club, she was Christian). The woman was very pleasant to talk to, and did not claim moral superiority. Instead she gave me some material about the religion and politely asked that I look into it and see if I find something that speaks to me within it. If you wish to attract flies, perhaps you should use honey instead of vinegar. If the preachers truly care about their message of a loving God, maybe they should lose the “Repent or end in Hell” sign. If anyone is demeaning your savior’s sacrifice, it is these preachers, not those who ridicule them. “You have faith; I have deeds.” James 2:18.

Summer may be over, but that isn’t stopping this fashionista from keeping her wardrobe bright. Yvette Loaeza, a senior criminal justice major who serves as the chair for the Associated Students Inc. Board of Directors, keeps her fun and flirty style all year round. “My favorite colors of the summer are coral and mint green,” said Loaeza. “They’re just so girly, I love it.” With a student leadership position on campus, Loaeza said she puts extra effort into her outfits, but still wants to be comfortable while doing her day-to-day activities. “I have to go to a lot of meetings with university administration, but I still want to dress my age while putting forth a professional image,” Loaeza said. She does this by pulling classic pieces such as flowy tops and length-appropriate skirts. She jazzes them up by wearing bright colors and feminine fabrics like lace and chiffon. Loaeza’s accessories complete her looks. She said she gravitates to smaller, daintier accent pieces, like a lengthier thin necklace. Like other college girls, Loaeza said she shops at stores including H&M, Forever 21, Nordstrom and Windsor. These stores together, she said, describe her perfect school outfit. “I love something that’s cute, comfortable, and classy,” Loaeza said. Her advice for others who want to spruce up their wardrobe is simple: Mix and match pieces and play with different colors. “Look around for inspiration. Magazines and sites like Tumblr and Pinterest are great for fashion enthusiasts,” Loaeza said.

David Freeman, a Cal State Fullerton history professor, revitalizes the boring and outdated wardrobe common with most faculty. Freeman’s go-to outfitter is the Brooks Brothers catalog. “Brooks Brothers is my primary store; in fact, I’m head-to-toe in Brooks Brothers today,” said Freeman. “I also shop at Nordstrom and Ralph Lauren.” This dapper educator has a few reasons to look his best other than for cosmetic purposes. Freeman said that in Southern California people dress down for everything. “I think most of the students here have never had any kind of previous exposure to people getting dressed up because it’s just not part of the culture,” said Freeman. “So when they see somebody getting dressed up, it sticks out as something they notice.” One goal of the university is to get students into the professional world. Freeman helps out by pushing the wardrobe of students forward. “I get a lot of positive feedback from (dressing up), I get students who are motivated by this,” Freeman said. “I like the fact that I motivate some of the students to start getting dressed up.” At the end of the day, Freeman’s job is to teach. Thousands of other professors do that here, but Freeman’s closet sets him apart. “(Dressing up) sends a message to the students without my having to say anything, it tells them I take this seriously enough that I got dressed up,” Freeman said. “I didn’t have to do this, because you all have other professors who dress like they just came from their son’s soccer game.” Freeman added that he expects his students to give dressing up a serious effort.

GAME: DOA5 still very much alive DEAD OR ALIVE 5

RAYMOND MENDOZA Daily Titan

Over the years, gamers and video game critics have bashed the Dead or Alive (DOA) series. Mostly due to the ludicrous or non-existent plot and needlessly, gratuitous sexuality of the female characters. Sure, the DOA series has its ups and downs. But the past DOA fighting games have usually been solid with tight fight mechanics. The latest release, Dead or Alive 5, fails in some areas and succeeds in others; making the overall experience good, yet still lacking an overall complete package. To start, the plot of DOA is terribly brainless. While fighting games in the past mostly relied on multiplayer to be considered a success, today’s game market demands a solid campaign mode, versus mode and a set of extras. Dead or Alive 5’s story is disjointed and gimmicky, with outlandish plots that range from decent to stupid. There is literally a moment in the game where a female ninja is spying on a man in the jungle, only to be spotted by two former friends (Pro-tip: Ninjas are supposed to be masters of espionage and not easy to “bump into”). The former friends then decide to, for little or no reason, fight one another in a cave behind a waterfall. The fight scene is then followed by a plot about cloning a ninja and a flamboyant goofball attempting to get fighters to join the DOA tournament. Then, a southern belle wrestler trains a mixed martial arts fighter and she decides to run as a government official. The campaign is a major bruise on the overall score of the game, especially when compared to 2011’s Mortal Kombat 9. After years of stagnant titles, Mortal Kombat reinvented itself with better controls and character specific combos, which propelled it into a commercial and critical success. The icing on the cake for Mortal Kombat 9 was the story mode of the game. It detailed a well thought out plot that tied togeth-

er old story lines and gave some major background into the Mortal Kombat series. Dead or Alive had a five-minute cut-scene where two men fight over a hot bun, only to have their food stolen by a monkey. That’s not to say that every game should conform to a certain set of rules, but developers need to be willing to make video games a complete experience since video games aren’t exactly cheap. As a brand new game, DOA5 costs $59.99 plus tax for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. For that much money, the developers have to think about pleasing their fans with something other than more costumes to wear during a fight. The days of buying a game for the multiplayer section only are gone, especially when DOA could have benefitted from a solid story mode. It could have given the series a much needed shot in the arm, instead of being known as a game where girls fight in thongs. Furthermore, DOA5 has not appeared to take advantage of the graphical limitations of the PS3 or Xbox 360. At its worst moments, DOA5 had background models that looked like they could have been rendered on the Sega Dreamcast. While it looks as though the developers gave less attention to certain aspects of the world of DOA, it still managed to make character models look high-quality. The attention to detail for the character’s hair and clothing are well done and worthy of massive praise alone. The developers, Team Ninja, have managed to make a physics system that allows for realistic movement for clothes and hair. While the poor campaign did hurt the game, it did not completely destroy it. The good news is that DOA5 still has a great fight scheme that can be both easy to pick up and difficult to master. The ease of learning the game can bring in new fans, while the complex counter and combo system will be enjoyed by veterans of the Dead or Alive games. While it likely is not going to be compared to hardcore fighting games as Street Fighter 4, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 or the Soul Calibur series; DOA5 is still a fine game. It might be brainless in some departments, but when it comes down to fighting: Dead or Alive is still very much alive.

FILM: lnfinite perks PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER novel, Stephen Chbosky, directed

TIM WORDEN Daily Titan

Charlie is a great kid. He values his friends and reads classic books his English teacher recommends him. But beneath the surface, he has bottled up his problems. Charlie has a history of an unidentified psychological anxiety illness that he uses to shut out the world. He has no friends and has trouble relating to his family. He’s a wallflower. Combine this with having to start high school and it is understandable why Charlie (Logan Lerman, redeeming himself from last year’s The Three Musketeers flop) is having a hard time adjusting. Oh, and his only friend committed suicide the previous school year. Charlie is looking to find his meaning, as we all are. He quickly finds this in two seniors, Patrick (Ezra Miller), a goofy class clown who impersonates the teacher on the first day of woodshop, and Sam (Emma Watson), Patrick’s step-sister and Charlie’s crush. These two quaint seniors give Charlie the real high school experience: parties, drugs and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The film (PG-13, Summit Entertainment), directed by Steven Chbosky, covers the highs and lows of Charlie’s freshman year. He befriends his English teacher, Mr. Anderson (Paul Rudd), who gives Charlie special novels to read (a high). Charlie publicly humiliates himself playing truth or dare (a low), and has his first acid drug trip (a high and a low). The film takes place in a Pittsburgh suburb in 1991. Charlie’s group performs in a Rocky Horror stage show, one of Charlie’s friends writes her own punk zine, and Charlie’s favorite band is The Smiths. Oh, and there are mixtapes. Lots of mixtapes. Complete with prefaces like, “Babe, I made this song for you,” a lulling mixtape Charlie’s sister receives from her boyfriend, Ponytail Derek. Period pieces are now becoming as recent as the ‘90s. With punk and alternative rock gems like “Asleep” by The Smiths, “Heroes” by David Bowie and “Temptation” by New Order, The Perks of Being a Wallflower has the year’s best soundtrack. Incidentally, The Smiths are a great band. One critical thing worth mentioning is that the author of the

and wrote this film. It was his vision, transitioning his 1999 novel to the big screen, and it veers close to the original. It is the golden child among a crop of bad seeds in this trend of book adaptations. (For reference of these bad seeds look no further than The Three Musketeers’ flying balloon airships. Anyways...) Charlie is a troubled teen, as many people entering high school are. He has had major trauma in his life and has severe panic attacks. But he has heart. His sweetest moment is at a Christmas secret santa exchange. He gives Sam, his secret Santa, his prized Beatles vinyl album. But, he doesn’t stop there.

He gives each of his friends a gift, including a $40 donation to Mary Elizabeth (Mae Whitman) for her to print her next zine issue in color. Charlie is a teen who just wants to be loved, “to feel infinite.” But he stops just short of that. He lacks the courage to be loved, so he compromises to just help others be loved instead. He learns something from Mr. Anderson that sticks. Charlie asks: “Why do people make bad choices or enter bad relationships?” Mr. Anderson responds: “We accept the love we think we deserve.” As Charlie learns to feel infinite flying down the bridge overlooking the city skyline, it is hard not to catch his joy. I can learn a lot

Memorable Quotes Charlie: I really wanna be a writer but I don’t know what I’d write about. Sam: You can write about us. Patrick: Call it ‘The slut and the falcon’ make us solve crimes. Sam: Why do I and everyone I love pick people who treat us like we’re nothing? Charlie: We accept the love we think we deserve. Charlie: This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite. Bill: You know they say if you make one friend on your first day you’ll do good. Charlie: If my English teacher is the only friend I make today, that’ll be sorta depressing.

Volleyball breaks six game skid, 3-2 The women’s volleyball team take UC Davis to the limit and defeat them, resulting in first Big West win JUSTIN ENRIQUEZ Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team (7-10, 1-3) picked up their first conference win against the UC Davis Aggies (8-8, 2-1). The game took place at UC Davis on Saturday as the Titans finally broke their sixmatch losing streak. The match was highly competitive as they won in the the fifth and deciding set (28-26, 19-25, 22-25, 25-16, 15-11). CSUF comes home splitting their two weekend road games as they previously had a tough five-set loss to the University of the Pacific Tigers on Friday. The Aggies came into the match undefeated in Big West Conference play and had won four of their previous five games. The Titans’ offensive attack was led by senior outside hitter Kayla Neto who tallied up a season-high 27 kills. She hit at a clip of .253 in addition to 16 digs and three block assists in the victory. She also recorded her eighth double-double of the season. A highly contentious third set that included 14 ties put the Titans in a precarious position as they lost the third and were down in sets, 2-1. The Titans learned their lesson by hitting clips of .289 in game four and .308 in game five after giving up a 2-1 set lead. They had also given up a 2-1 set lead the previous night. Neto led the team in the fourth set with six kills as the Aggies were unable to get any offense going.

Sophomore Marco Zaragoza placed 58th overall for the men and freshman Emily Taylor placed 37th overall for the women. Zaragoza finished the 8K course in 25:36, which was just two seconds off his best time. He also gave the Titans their best individual men’s performance with 53 points. Taylor continued her strong freshman season by finishing the 6K course in 21:54 and getting 32 points. She has finished all three meets this season first for the Titans and was also the fifth Big Conference competitor to finish the women’s race that day.

Neto once again led the Titans in the fifth set by opening up with three kills in the strong 4-2 opening by CSUF. The Aggies made attempts at catching the Titans but were never able to string enough points to make a run to take over the set. Neto helped seal the deal as she added two more kills down the stretch to help the Titans finish off the Aggies for good. In total, the Titans hit .236 tallying up 11 blocks, 101 digs, and six aces. The Aggies hit a respectable .209 with 6 blocks, 95 digs, and four aces. With those 11 blocks by the Titans, it is apparent that defense played a big part in the victory. Junior right side hitter Leah Best and freshman middle blocker Holland Crenshaw contributed with five block assists in the match. Senior defensive specialist Gabrielle Dewberry racked up 31 digs, which was a match-high and the second time she has had over 30 digs this season. In addition to Neto’s contributions on the offensive end, the Titans had a strong offensive performance from senior setter Kaylynne Taeatafa who had a match-high 57 assists. Three players other than Neto also reached double-figures in kills; junior outside hitter Bre Moreland (15), freshman middle blocker Lauren Kissell (11), and Leah Best (12). They also dropped six service aces in the matches. In defeat, the Aggies still had strong career high performances. Senior outside hitter Allison Whitson, sophomore outside hitter Valerie Brain and sophomore middle blocker Victoria Lee all tied or set career highs in kills. Whitson led UC Davis with 24 kills,

After opening Big West Conference play with a loss to UC Irvine, the Titans headed into a key early conference play match-up play against Long Beach State as heavy underdogs. The upset-minded Titans had other ideas. With the help of a controversial penalty kick, the Titans were able to come from behind and knock off the No. 21 49ers 2-1. Long Beach dominated the majority of the game and struck first on a goal from Hannah Sanders to put the 49ers on top 1-0. CSUF was finally able to break through 11 minutes into the second half when a controversial handball was called in the box against Long Beach. Stacey Fox buried it in the back of the net to tie the game 1-1. Fullerton was able to add the winning goal with just over two minutes left when freshman Christina Burkenroad blocked a clearing attempt by the Long Beach defense and tapped home the game-winning goal for the Titans. “This is a big win for us. I can’t believe we pulled it out. We worked hard all week and it payed off and now we have to get ready to play a hard working Northridge team,” said Burkenroad. Brief by ANDY WALLER

Women’s soccer caves into Anteaters’ swarm The UC Irvine Anteaters came to the Titans home to shut them out and win, 2-0. DANIEL HERNANDEZ Daily Titan

The UC Irvine Anteaters crawled all over the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team Friday night at Titan Stadium, foraging the field to find three goals in the Big West Conference opener. Not winning a single road game all year before this match, the Anteaters, now 5-8, dominated on the offensive side of the ball with Natalia Ledezma, a junior transfer from UCLA, leading the strike. “She’s a game changer on the field,” said Stacey Fox, Titan team captain. “We didn’t put enough pressure on her, whether it was from defense… or from our center (midfield) pressure, but she turned on us every time… a good player is going to get through.” Fox, one of the leading goal scorers for the team, returned to the Titan starting lineup after missing the last two games from a minor head injury. Her presence wasn’t enough to hold back the Anteaters. The Titans fell behind 1-0 early within the first five minutes of the match on a long strike from Ledezma, shooting from outside the 18-yard-box. On the play, the Anteaters took advantage of a sleeping Titans defense when Ledezma received a pass from senior Anteater Dana Sanderlin. Ledezma, without hesitation, struck the ball low and with force to the left post of the goal. A stunned Titans goalkeeper, Lindsey Maricic, attempted a last minute diving save on the ball as she watched the line drive shot hit the back of the net. “It was a very good shot. She tucked it inside the post. Even though I was sprawled out completely… it was a well stricken shot,” Maricic said. Later in the second half, Laura McGrail, Anteaters forward, struck a fatal blow to the Titans in the 62nd minute, when she scored the second goal of the game off an errant pass from Titan midfielder Jacyln Clark. Left with no other option, back near her own 18-yard-box, Clark, a redshirt senior, looked to pass the ball back to the keeper where

a waiting Anteater, McGrail, beat Maricic to the ball. The Titans had no one covering the goal and McGrail was able to gently place the ball in the net to increase the lead to 2-0. “I don’t blame anyone for that goal at all,” Maricic said about the play. “It was just an awful thing to deal with for both us. Laura McGrail is a very good player. She came through, saw the pass and was able to take advantage of exactly that.” That was not the last of the Anteater attack. Putting the game out of reach for the CSUF women’s team, the Anteaters’ Dana Sanderlin, a senior, scored late in the 85th minute. On the play, the Titan’s defense was caught off guard when Devon Delarosa passed the ball near the eight-yard box to Sanderlin, who was able to penetrate the defense and take a clear shot on goal. Up 3-0 late in the game, the Anteaters devoured the field of its nourishment, leaving the Titans hungry for some momentum. But the CSUF women’s soccer team found some encouragement. It has not been shut out all season. Even with a now 3-7 record, the Titans always have some fight in them, losing by one goal in most of their matches. And though the stingy Anteaters’ defense was able to ward off the Titans offense for most of the game, the Titans’ Adriana Gjonovich was able to score in the 67th minute. Gjonovich, a sophomore, received a perfectly placed pass from Fox who hit Gjonovich in stride as she outran the Anteater defense. She then blasted a line drive shot to the back of the net, softening the blow. The Anteaters handed the Titans their first conference loss of the season. “The idea is just moving forward. There are so many things that we do well. We just have to really refine those things and remind the women of those things. Long Beach’s game is our opportunity to move forward and get ourselves right in the conference, and so we look forward to the opportunity,” said Head Coach Demian Brown.

Mustangs stampede Titans’ Big West opener The men’s soccer team hoped for a solid start to Big West play but Cal Poly shut them out 2-0 DANIEL HERNANDEZ Daily Titan

The Cal Poly Mustangs trampled the Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team 2-0 Friday night at Titan stadium, winning the first conference match-up of the season. The loss squashed the Titans’ momentum from the previous three straight wins. Though quick and feisty throughout the game, the Titans were unable to place more than one shot on goal, leaving the team frustrated at the end of the game. “I think the (CSUF) team came out with a lot of energy,” said team-leading scorer Jesse Escalante. “But Cal Poly, I think, outworked us a little bit more. We definitely had our chances… we couldn’t find the back of the net.” Escalante, a senior Spanish major, received a yellow card late in the game after jumping for a header in the goal box. The Mustangs’ goalkeeper and Escalante went up to make a play on the ball when they collided in the air. After landing and realizing the keeper made the save and was able to clear the ball, Escalante fell to the ground in what appeared to be a painful head collision. Quick to point at the dramatic Escalante rolling around on the floor, the Mustangs pleaded to the referee to not fall for what they believed was an acting job. The referee agreed with the Mustangs and handed Escalante a yellow card. “I challenged the ball… I found myself on the floor. When I was on the floor the goalkeeper was going to kick the ball, but he saw my head there, so he kind of just pulled back,” Escalante said about the controversial yellow card. “He did hit me in the face a little. Any kick to the face, even if it’s mild, is going to hurt.” Earlier in the game, Mustang junior forward Mackenzie Pridham scored the first goal of the game on a Titan defensive mishap. As the right defender Anthony Rosales lost his footing and fell to the ground, the Mustangs’ Chris Gaschen took con-

trol of the ball on the far side of the 18-yard box and shot right at the Titan goalkeeper. The soft shot was deflected by the keeper and picked up by the Mustangs’ Pridham in front of the net, blasting an easy shot at a diving goalkeeper. “Instead of trying to just clear it out, I tried to let it just run, and my cleat kind of got underneath me. And I just slipped and let it roll out from under me,” said Rosales, a redshirt sophomore. That first goal changed the momentum of the game in favor of the Mustangs, who didn’t turn back, deflating any comeback attempt from the Titans. Mackenzie Pridham scored a second goal for Cal Poly in the 75th minute. Pridham received the ball in midfield and moved up quick, outnumbering the Titans’ defense with help from three other team members against two Titan defenders. He placed his foot on the ball to unleash a line drive shot from just inside the 18-yard box. Pridham’s goal late in the game put a final nail in the coffin for the Titans, who were attempting to enter conference play with a win. “Our possession was very good, but because of how they play and they really tried to stretch us. There were gaps,” Titan Head Coach Bob Ammann said about why the Mustangs were able to come away with the win. “We still created some chances, but you know, the ball wasn’t bouncing right for us.” The Mustangs’ stingy defense doesn’t allow many goals. They have stymied opponents by only letting two scores pass the goal line in the previous 334 minutes. Cal Poly had a total of three shots on goal. CSUF only had one. Though CSUF came into the game with a 15-12 record against the Mustangs, Cal Poly has won their last five Big West opening matches, and things weren’t about to change for them. The Mustangs came into the game with a 5-3 record, losing their most recent game to No. 12 UCLA 1-0 Sunday, Sept. 23. For more information on the men’s soccer team, visit: FullertonTitans.com
