Voice editor met with protest Students and other organizations speak against BackPage.com JESSICA RUBIO Daily Titan

More than 15 protesters stood outside the Golleher Alumni House Thursday night chanting “No sex trafficking” in light of a speaker who was invited by two Cal State Fullerton alumni chapters. CSUF’s College of Communications Alumni Chapter and the Hispanic/Latino Alumni Chapter hosted the OC-NYC Alumni Event at the Golleher Alumni House to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, featuring Tony Ortega, editor in chief of Village Voice, a weekly newspaper based in New York. Ortega was welcomed to CSUF from both alumni chapters and alumni guests not affiliated with the chapters; however, he was not welcomed by protest organizer Phil Cenedella, activists from various anti-human trafficking organizations and students from Chapman University and CSUF. Students and activists protest Ortega’s affiliation with BackPage.com, a site they contend is a marketplace for human trafficking and prostitution.

Cal State Fullerton turned in a woeful display on the road, losing to rival Long Beach State 3-1 (25-20, 25-21,21-25, 25-11) Saturday night at Walter Pyramid. Senior outside hitter Caitlin Ledoux returned to lineup after missing six matches due to injury and led LBSU (10-6, 4-2) with a doubledouble performance over conference-leading CSUF (8-9, 3-2). The loss drops CSUF to fourth in the conference. The 49ers hit .328 in the match, led by Ledoux and sophomore middle blocker Haleigh Hampton who each had 17 with 13 kills, respectively. Hampton also had a big night defensively in front of the net with 10 total blocks for her second double-double of the season. LBSU junior Janisa Johnson had a solid game and recorded a double-double with 12 kills and 10 digs. Senior Jennifer Edmond and junior Kayla Neto led the Titans in attack with 13 kills each, but hit at a low .122 hitting percentage. Junior libero Gabrielle Dewberry led

the Titans in digs with 15, and senior setter Andrea Ragan and Neto each had 10 digs, giving them double-doubles for the match. In the first set, kills from Ledoux and Johnson as well as a big block from the towering Hampton put LBSU ahead early at 10-7. The Titans found it hard to push back with the 49ers extending their lead to five points at 16-11. Neto had a hard time getting kills late in the set, getting blocked by both Hampton and freshman Alma Serna, and the 49ers took the first set 25-18. CSUF committed eight attacking errors in the first set and 20 during the match. “We made a lot of stupid errors. We needed to clean that up and we would have been it,” said Ragan. CSUF was down by three points quick in the second set and battled back to take the lead at 6-5 with kills from Neto, Edmond and senior Leah Maurer. But Ledoux would take over from there with four kills, taking LBSU to an 11-8 lead. The Titans were in touching distance at 21-19 after an ace by Ragan, but Hampton won a joust with senior Leah Best and finished it off with a kill, and LBSU took the second set 25-20. CSUF didn’t fare well in the attack in the set, hitting .086 to LBSU .265. See VOLLEYBALL, 6

The California Faculty Association (CFA) has called for concerted action against the CSU over unpaid salary increases that were negotiated in 2007. “The faculty are angry about much more than just this tiny raise. We believe we have a responsibility to take action to preserve our ability to provide quality education and to protect our students. We feel like it is time for us to stand up for ourselves and our students, and now the time has come to fight back,” said Lillian Taiz, a history professor at Cal State Los Angeles and the CFA Board of Trustees president. The concerted action or job actions would involve a one-day strike should the CSU bargaining team refuse to pay previously

negotiated salary increases. The bargaining teams for the CSU and CFA will be meeting four times in the month of October in an effort to resolve this issue. If a compromise is not reached, the CFA has given notice that a strike will be held Nov. 17 at Cal State Dominguez Hills and Cal State East Bay. In addition, informational picketing will take place Nov. 8 or 9 on all CSU campuses. “We want to prepare not only faculty, but also our students that this could be as dramatic as a strike where faculty would not teach that day. We don’t want to hinder students, but we feel like we are at the breaking point,” said Kim Geron, a political science professor at Cal State East Bay and vice president for the CFA Board of Trustees. “(We are) planning on having a very visible display of faculty. We will be there from morning to eve-

ning.” The CSU faculty have been working under an expired contract that ran from May 2007 to June 2010. The contract stated that eligible Unit 3 CSU employees– which include faculty, librarians, counselors and coaches–would receive annual salary increases in 2008, 2009 and 2010. These salary increases were dependent upon a predictable amount of funding that was promised by the state to the CSU. In the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was agreed upon by both the CSU and CFA, these increases were subject to renegotiation should the state funds promised to the CSU be reduced. The CSU faced massive cuts to the 2009-10 budget. In 2009, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger approved a budget that cut $584 million from public higher edu-

cation. Due to this extensive cut, the CSU chancellor reopened the contract for negotiations and subsequently refused to increase the salaries of CSU faculty. “Our position is, we have established the status quo in regards to 2009 salary increases. We are not going to go back and say that we are going to give you (faculty) salary increases,” said Mike Uhlenkamp, director of Media Relations and New Media for the CSU Public Affairs office. Although the unpaid increases were part of the 2009 budget, should the chancellor approve previous increases, the money would be coming out of the current year’s budget, which according to Uhlenkamp is just not available.

App Market brings in money Two CSUF students discover alternative income by building apps for smartphones ANIBAL ORTIZ Daily Titan

Chad Bailey sat four or five rows up on the left side of a lecture room in Steven G. Mihaylo Hall while using his smartphone when he felt a tap on his shoulder. “Hey,” said the stranger. “I made that.” Jared Rummler, an accounting and information systems and decision sciences major at Cal State Fullerton who is known as jrummy16 in the Android Market, was sitting behind him in class and noticed Bailey was using one of the phone applications he created, and the two began talking. The next semester, the two shared a class for a second time and Rummler, in need of an extra hand, hired Bailey, a marketing major, as his assistant. Rummler, 26, began making applications and ROMs, what he described as aftermarket operating systems, less than a year ago. “Eventually I made enough to quit my job and just work from home,” said Rummler with a smile. He said he’s made about $100,000 since he began building apps and ROMs, and had no prior experience. Bailey, 23, who also had “zero experience,” never considered the Android Market as an option for income. Both of their journeys began only after purchasing their Android smartphones. “All that it takes is someone that is genuinely interested and someone to learn from,” said Bailey. Bailey mentioned that the Android community is big and has many people willing to help. In his case, it just happened to be Rummler, the guy sitting behind him in his class.

ANIBAL ORTIZ / Daily Titan Jared Rummler has made enough money in the Android Market building apps that he was able to quit his job and is now teaching his fellow classmate steps to succeed like him.

“More than anything, he’s been patient with me,” Bailey said. “Programming seemed like gibberish to me.” The Android Market is built on an open-source platform allowing users to create and manipulate the system files, the apps that run on it and in some cases, the entire operating system itself.

CSUF redditors meet up in real life 63 participants of the CSUF community sub-reddit forum meet in person Tuesday GEENA HONG For the Daily Titan

The first ever Cal State Fullerton Reddit meet-up Tuesday drew in about 63 Titan Redditors, who got to interact and discuss many different topics with one another. Reddit is a rapidly growing forumstyle website where anyone can post anything. The entire site is based on hot topics. Users can rate topics that others post positively or negatively. Highly rated topics are sent to the top

I love to see all of the crazy stuff that people post on Reddit. Alyce Sugita Graduate Student

of the topic list. So what makes Reddit so popular? “Relevant content determined through upvotes and downvotes customizable to individual tastes within a streamline interface,” said Jonathan Nakatsui, 21, a finance major.

BRIAN YAMAMOTO / Daily Titan Members of the forum enjoy pizza in the Titan Student Union Tuesday. The sub-reddit has accumulated over 300 participants.

Many people contribute to Reddit sites. “Demographically, the site skews toward well-educated people,” Nakatsui said. Over the past 15 months, the discussion board community has tripled in size. Since last May, they’ve grown from 7 million monthly unique visitors to 21.5 million.

FOR THE RECORD It is the policy of the Daily Titan to correct any inaccurate information printed in the publication as soon as the error is discovered. Any incorrect information printed on the front page will result in a correction printed on the front page. Any incorrect information printed on any other page will be corrected on page 2. Errors on the Opinion page will be corrected on that page. Corrections also will be noted on the online version of the Daily Titan. Please contact Editor-in-Chief Michelle Wiebach at 657-278-5815 or at dteditorinchief@gmail.com with issues about this policy or to report any errors.

The page views have exploded four times to a staggering 1.6 billion pages served per month. Within Reddit, there are more than 6,500 sub-reddits with more than 100 subscribers. “The most important fact is that Reddit is not a single community; it’s an engine for creating communities,” according to the Reddit website.

A sub-reddit is a specific online community contained within the Reddit framework. Each of the thousands of sub-reddits has its own purpose, standards and readership. Sub-reddits are the secret to Reddit’s growth. Anyone can create a sub-reddit and decide how it is run. The CSUF Reddit is an example. The CSUF Reddit is a sub-reddit

community with currently 291 subscribers and more subscribing everyday. Andrew Lee, a sophomore at Fullerton, is an avid user of Reddit. Lee’s favorite topics on Reddit are “Things going on in the world” and “Today I learned” (TIL). “People post interesting facts they learned and post it while people discuss that particular topic and people share pictures too, whether it’s funny to having deep sentimental value. It’s all disposable,” said Lee. Alyce Sugita, a graduate student, said Reddit is her go-to website whenever she has downtime. “I love to see the crazy stuff that people post on Reddit, and just when you think that you’re having a crappy day it’s nice to know that someone else in the world is having just as bad a day,” said Sugita. Users can post topics on pretty much anything they desire and other users will either vote the topic up or down. Reddit allows users to post pictures or write about anything on the web. There are so many different topics. Some examples are random, funny, politics, gaming, world news, videos, I am a, today I learned, trees, WTF, atheism, advice animals, starcraft and many more.

DTSHORTHAND U.S. Justifies Death of Citizen According to The New York Times, the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen and Muslim cleric, was justified by a secret legal memorandum written by the Obama administration. Al-Awlaki, born in New Mexico, was killed during a covert operation carried out by a predator drone. Completed around June 2010, the 50-page memorandum by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel provided justification for killing an American citizen without a trial, despite preventative provisions, including a federal law against murder, protections in the Bill of Rights and various strictures of the international laws of war, according to The NY Times. If it was not possible to capture al-Awlaki alive, he could be legally killed, according to a legal analysis of the memorandum. Intelligence agencies said he posed a significant threat to Americans because he was taking part in a war between the United States and al-Qaida. Assertions against al-Awlaki include his continued role in al-Qaida operations, his push for an attack on the U.S. and an attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airline on Christmas Day of 2009. Based on this, the Justice Department concluded it was legal to kill alAwlaki without a trial. Brief by Alvan Ung

Hurricane Jova Threatens Mexico Hurricane Jova intensified and will continue to intensify over the next two days as it inches toward western Mexico, according to CNN. The Category 1 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph, is moving eastward toward Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Hurricane Jova was first located 305 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. “Additional strengthening is expected during the next 48 hours, and Jova could become a major hurricane by Monday night or Tuesday,” according to the NHC. Boaters were warned of rain, waves and winds nearby the country’s Pacific coast by Mexico’s National Meteorological Service. In other news, Tropical Storm Irwin, located 810 miles southwest of Baja California, continued swirling with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, according to the Associated Press. Tropical Storm Irwin has not prompted warnings.

CFA: Faculty could strike over salary increase negotiations ...Continued from page 1

“We are not saying people aren’t working hard, we are saying in terms of the economy and what we have available to us, it would not be in the

best interest to be giving out acrossthe-board raises when we are looking at such massive cuts,” Uhlenkamp said. Uhlenkamp also pointed out that in the 2012-13 budget proposal that will be voted on in the November CSU Board of Trustees meeting, the CSU will ask for a 3 percent spending pool to be able to allocate to salary increases for CSU employees going forward. Although provisions for future increases are being made by the chancellor, this may not be enough to avoid a November faculty strike.

Paul McCartney Gets Married Paul McCartney, 69, married his girlfriend Nancy Shevell, 51, in London Sunday. Hundreds gathered at Marylebone Town Hall to see the couple before and after the wedding, which lasted about an hour, according to CNN. The couple was engaged in May, a McCartney representative told CNN. The ceremony took place in the same location where McCartney married his first wife, Linda, in 1969. She died of breast cancer in 1998 at age 56. In 2008, the former Beatle divorced his second wife, model Heather Mills, after a fouryear marriage. According to CNN, Mills asked for 125 million pounds ($250 million at the time), saying McCartney limited her ability to model, and that she acted as a psychologist to him as he mourned the death of his first wife. She was awarded 24.3 million pounds ($48.6 million at the time). Brief by Ian Wheeler

VOICE: CSUF alumnus and editor in chief of the Village Voice speaks at the Alumni House while activists protest outside ...Continued from page 1 The protesters say Ortega is affiliated with BackPage.com, which they say is being used for human trafficking, prostitution and child prostitution. BackPage.com is a free classified advertisement website owned by Village Voice Media, which also owns Village Voice and other media publications. BackPage ads can also be found on the front page of VillageVoice.com. In September 2010, Village Voice Media was sued by a 15-yearold sex trafficking victim for allegedly abetting forced prostitution by failing to investigate prostitution ads on BackPage.com, according to a New York Daily News article in September 2010. Cenedella, who is the executive director of Stop Slavery 2011, said, as a leader, Ortega should speak up. “As a leader in the industry of the media it’s your role to report on what’s happening to child victims of human trafficking and to use your leadership roles to help us stop that,” said Cenedella, adding that he hopes the protest will push Ortega to do something. He and his entourage of about 15 advocates started protesting across the street from the Goheller Alumni House an hour before the event started. They shouted slogans like, “Stop human trafficking” and “No sex trafficking.” “We are sick of it, we’re mad as hell and in a nice way, peacefully saying, it’s got to stop. We are just expressing our First Amendment rights on a California college campus,” Cenedella said. “This is the most important human rights issue in America today–the buying and selling of human beings against their will.” Rocio Prado, a CSUF English major and vice president of the anti-human trafficking club on campus called Project P.A.T.H.E., said she is trying to raise awareness on both sex slavery and labor slavery. Aimee Galicia Torres, 26, an advocate of Stop Slavery 2011 and member of a nonprofit organization called the Majestic Dreams Foundation, said Ortega is refusing to see how much damage the adult section of BackPage.com is doing. “It (the adult section of BackPage.com) is a breeding ground for human trafficking because you have your adult sections where you’re promoting sex. You’re promoting human trafficking because everything is disguised,” said Galicia Torres. On the other hand, Ortega defended the adult section of Back-

Page.com as free speech. Protesters said they didn’t agree. “There’s nothing free about slavery, I mean, most of these people who are being sold in these websites–they’re underage, and they have no choice,” Galicia Torres said. “Providing an outlet where you can sell children to perverts is disgusting. That isn’t freedom of speech.” The advocates of anti-slavery held signs that read, “Hey Ortega! Real men don’t buy girls” and “I am the key to free,” while protesting Ortega and the conglomerate which owns BackPage.com. Lizeth Sebastian, 21, pioneer of the anti-human trafficking club at Chapman University called Set Captives Free, said many people are unaware that sex trafficking is happening in local areas. Juana Zapata, from Faces of Slavery, said for the past three years her organization has been rescuing and protecting girls who have been victims of human trafficking and who were advertised on BackPage.com, averaging one girl every six weeks. “We are a permanent residential place for them (the victims),” said Zapata, who was invited to the protest by Cenedella. “For us it’s very important that the public knows that this is actually happening right here; it’s not international. Students have to be fully aware what’s happening with their generation and they are the voice.” The protest did not seem to influence the event taking place inside the Golleher Alumni House as the jazz and big band music blasted throughout the courtyard. However, during his brief presentation Ortega did acknowledge the protesters as he heard Cenedella’s voice chanting “Stop human trafficking.” “I love protests and I’m actually feeling kind of honored that they are protesting me even if they don’t really understand what is going on,” said Ortega. “But I am glad that you were able to get past the barricades and come to this wonderful party.” Before the guests entered into the venue, they had a chance to take a ride in the “cash cab,” inspired by the TV game show called Cash Cab in New York. Parked right in front of the venue for each game, the energetic taxi driver asked each group of guests CSUF trivia questions. The easy questions were worth $1, increasing in difficulty and value with each question up to $10. Once the players collected the money earned, they were able to cash their winnings for CSUF gear. To keep with the event’s New York theme, the courtyard was transformed into a “bar area” with black, clothed tables, dimly lit can-

dles, Village Voice coasters and bar nuts for the guests to mingle and network with one another. A projector also displayed Village Voice articles and cover pages against the wall for attendees to observe. The indoor area was set up as an ultra chic lounge lined with low sofas, low, colored lights, a New York cityscape backdrop, a statue of liberty Tuffy and an open bar. The bar featured drinks such as a Manhattan Skyscraper, a cosmopolitan and an appletini for guests to enjoy. New York-style pizza, chicken tenders and salad were offered as the main course with pie and cheesecake for dessert. During the event Ortega spoke about how he spent his week in California visiting CSUF and explained how the university helped set him on the right path for his future. “I’ve been going to classes. I’ve been reunited with some of my old faculty, old professors. It’s just been a dream come true. This place really set me on the right path in my life. My professors were fantastic,” Ortega said. “CSUF did so much for me.”

Ortega was thanked and honored with a parting gift as a gesture of the chapters’ appreciation for his presence at the event. Ashley Gonzalez, the president of the College of Communications Alumni Chapter, said her chapter is constantly trying to get alumni involved with CSUF. “We are always changing and looking for new things to do and ways to get people back on campus,” said Gonzalez. Dorissa Martinez, the president of the Hispanic/Latino Alumni Chapter and member of the Board of Directors for the Alumni Association, agrees with Gonzalez. “We are just trying to get people back and connected to the university, especially the alumni who haven’t been connected for years,” said Martinez. “We’re just trying to give them a reason to come out.” By the end of the event, Cenedella and other anti-human trafficking groups were absent from the surrounding areas of the Alumni House. Nuran Alteir also contributed to this report.

Tweeting a decent income

Social networking is more prominent in our lives, as reflected in some employees’ paychecks JOEY BECERRA Daily Titan

I have a daily routine. First, when I wake up in the morning, I roll over in bed, groggily search for my phone on my nightstand and check my Twitter updates. Next, I jump on my laptop, read my emails and check my Facebook notifications. When I get to class, I meticulously scroll through my Facebook and comb the news feed to see what everyone else is up to. Throughout my day my phone vibrates with updates from the 20 or so Twitter entities that I specifically forward to my phone. In the time it took me to write that last sentence, I got four tweets. Sadly, Facebook and Twitter are my real connection to the outside world. If I were offered a job that only asks me to do what I already do for free, why not take it? That is especially true in these times of uncertainty. For the last few years, our country has suffered the pitfalls of a recession and struggled under the weight of unemployment, and as much as

people like to hope that it might get better, times ahead are looking stagnant. According to the latest report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national unemployment rate remained unchanged for the month of August and hovered around 9.1 percent. If there was a new industry that could bring work opportunities to thousands of jobless people, we should back it up. Right? This is where social media workers come in. Social media workers act as public relations specialists for companies through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Their work duties include sending out tweets, leading people to blogs and inviting people to events over Facebook. According to Simply Hired, a joblisting site, the average salary for a social media worker is $55,000. Think of the work opportunities! A study by Burson-Marsteller, a public relations and communication firm, led them to state in a presentation, “The Fortune Global 100 are now more likely to direct-

ly engage users on social media, and companies are increasingly ‘@’ mentioning and retweeting on Twitter and allowing and answering posts on Facebook pages. This is a clear indication that companies are now putting resources behind social media monitoring and engagement in a way that they were not 12 months prior.” Companies are getting creative about the way they recruit social media workers. In February, fashion designer Marc Jacobs’ Twitter page, MarcJacobsInc., announced it was looking for someone to head its Twitter account and social media. The application to be considered for the job—a 140-character tweet. All it asked of the applicants was to be clever in their message. There is a growing economy for social media workers because companies need them to promote themselves. Young people are the ones companies want to get the attention of, and what does our generation love more than anything else? Facebook and Twitter. The great news for companies is that the youth’s love for social media and technology isn’t just growing, they are actually starting to depend on it. A recent study by CourseSmart. com, an e-book retailer, and Wakefield Research, a tactical research consultant, found that 98 percent of the students they surveyed owned a digital device. Ninety-eight percent may sound unsurprising, but the important revelation of the study was that, “38 percent of students surveyed said that they could not go more than 10 minutes without checking in with their tech device.” Personally, my time limit is a lot less than 10 minutes. In the three minutes it took me to write those last two paragraphs, my Twitter tab flashed with 21 updates and my phone lit up with two emails. I couldn’t help but check them. Through Twitter, Gucci’s social media worker just pitched me the idea that I can never go wrong with one of their two-button suits. I’m sold.

CAMILLE TARAZON / Daily Titan According to Dictionary.com, masculinity is defined as having qualities traditionally ascribed to men, such as strength and boldness. Femininity is defined as having qualities traditionally ascribed to women, such as sensitivity and gentleness. Which category do you fall under?

New men of America ROSS WATTERS Daily Titan

As I go about my business every day, whether it is at school, work or the bar, I notice more men dressing like my 12-year-old sister. Keyword there: Men. And if dressing like a 12-year-old girl isn’t bad enough, the overall demeanor of men is becoming less and less masculine. And it really bugs me. It feels like gender surrender. Skinny jeans, V-neck shirts, TOMS shoes, skin-tight shorts, yellow flip-flops and a plethora of other very unmasculine attire seems to be the norm with men these days. Not only is the clothing attire not John Waynelike at all, but the attitudes a lot of men have these days is soft. This has nothing to do with one’s sexual preference. I have met and known many gay guys who are a lot more masculine than a lot of straight guys I have met. It is just an observation. Little things I notice here and there. Since when is sitting in the grass on campus, strumming a guitar, wearing a beanie half off your head and a goofy bandana hanging out of your skin-tight jeans a cool thing? Put the bandana away. The only thing you are representing is being a douche. I don’t care about your knowledge of obscure music or your creepy mustache. And I am not talking about the legendary Burt Reynolds mustache; I am talking about the mustache that looks like you forgot to wash your greasy face. Another thing—men cry at the drop of a hat these days. Sensitivity is part of being human, but come on! There is a time and a place. Bawling your eyes out when the dog in Marley and Me dies is uncalled for and inappropriate. You’re a man. Gone are the days of men acting masculine. And I am not talking about men being sexist and thinking they are above women. I am talking about working on your car, dressing like a grown-up, drinking good beer

and not talking about how much you like Glee. In a recent study by Brylcreem, a hair product company for men in the United Kingdom, 60 percent of men disclosed they were very good with an iron but only 10 percent said they knew how to change their oil or change a tire. Although it definitely isn’t a scientific study, it speaks volumes to what men are turning into. Monday mornings at the water cooler at work should be about what happened on the field Sunday and predictions for the Monday-night game. These days, I am hearing more guys talk about the latest episode of Teen Mom. Another guy is talking about how he is fighting with his girlfriend who kicked him out of the house and kept his dog, Mr. Bubbles. The ladies from Golden Girls are ten times more masculine than these dudes. Guys also shouldn’t take more time to do their hair and get ready than their girlfriends. It is great that they are becoming more sensitive to their girlfriend or spouse, but sharing razors, hair products and facial products is just plain unmanly. No one really knows why men have become less masculine over the years. Many blame the media. In a book called The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers, Sommers explains that boys are becoming less masculine when they are kids. Boys have natural tendencies such as aggressiveness, competitiveness and being daring. But now it is becoming fashionable to attribute pathology to many young boys. Even in public schools, Sommers explains, feminism is becoming the norm and masculinity is obliterated. Now whether people agree with that premise is, of course, their own opinion, but it explains in a sense why boys and men have changed, starting in the ‘90s up until now. Maybe they are the “new men of America.” And maybe I am just old-school, despite my age. But with all the observations and studies out the window, nothing explains it better than the Miller Lite commercials: Men simply need to MAN UP.

Anwar al-Awlaki deserved no mercy American rights don’t apply when you join a terrorist organization and commit treason BROOKE McCALL Daily Titan

With the recent news of the death of Anwar al-Awlaki, senior American-born al-Qaida leader, the question has raised regarding whether or not his American rights were infringed upon. Does being born American make you a good person? Although born here on American soil, al-Awlaki was the mastermind behind several recent attacks on America, including the failed Christmas Day 2009 bombing of an airliner heading for Detroit, Mich. and the unsuccessful plot to send mail bombs on planes from Yemen to the U.S. New Mexican al-Awlaki was one of the highest-profile terror leaders identified by the U.S. before he was killed in a drone strike in a Yemen C.I.A.-U.S. military operation last week. The al-Qaida leader was formally an editor for a terrorist jihadi Internet magazine where he continually sought out to influence the U.S. and other individuals across the world to carry out terrorist attacks. It is thought that his death was a major blow against al-Qaida. American citizen Samir Khan was also killed in the same drone at-

tack as al-Awlaki. Khan too played a large role in inspiring terrorist acts. From North Carolina, Khan offered advice on how to make bombs and use weapons through Inspire, an English-language al-Qaida magazine publication. Is it alright to plot acts of terrorism, but get away with it just because you are an American and have natural-born rights? Is the future of one American more important than the future of the American country? No, al-Awlaki and Khan both no longer deserved their natural-born American rights. So, when were al-Awlaki’s American rights lost, you may ask? The very second that he decided to join the terrorist group al-Qaida and plotted against America was the very same second he lost his American rights. He became an instant enemy of war to the American people. The U.S. military had targeted al-Awlaki directly in the counterterrorism operation that led to his death. How can his death be justified? In the U.S. justice system, terrorist acts carried out by an American on the U.S. are a treasonous crime. Under U.S. law the penalty for treason is death. The U.S. military’s planned attack on al-Awlaki should say something to America. The man was a danger to our country and to our people. In order to prevent future attacks and harm to our nation, the U.S. government had to take action to ensure

the safety of the American people. Is it moral for the president of the U.S. to have an American killed? It is Obama’s duty, or any president’s duty for that matter, to protect his or her country and its people. Obama was carrying out the law by responding to the treasonous acts. Such drastic times call for such drastic measures. Does someone’s citizenship give them special privileges when it comes to the justice system? Just because someone is an American doesn’t mean they can hide behind the American rights system. Being a terrorist doesn’t set you above the legal justice system and certainly does not exclude you from being punished. Let me remind you that al-Awlaki wasn’t on American soil when he died; he was on his own when it came to his protection and rights as an American. For the good of other Americans, it is necessary to take action against an American who is threatening our country. It is against the law to carry out terrorist attacks. Is the well-being of one man more important than the well-being of an entire country? Even though al-Awlaki was just one man, because of his power, he was such a large influence on young followers under jihadi. It is necessary to make an example of people to let the others know what is wrong and what is right. It is important to remember that America is the land of the free, but that freedom comes at a great price.

Organizer of CSUF’s sub-reddit talks about why the site is so huge MARIBEL CASTANEDA Daily Titan

The room was buzzing with over 60 people bursting in conversation left and right. From an outsider’s perspective, everyone seemed as if they were old friends catching up, but it was really the first time many had met one another. They were all there because they shared one thing in common and that is their interest in the popular website Reddit.com. The site has millions infatuated with the site by submitting links for articles, pictures, videos and anything they find interesting or funny. It’s becoming as big as social networks like Facebook. This meeting was all made possible by Adrian Andrade, 23, an economics and finance major at Cal State Fullerton, who organized the CSUF sub-reddit on the website for all things Titan in August, starting with 59 members. Now it has grown to 279 Titans. Andrade, a die-hard “Redditor,” took a moment after the event to explain his involvement and how it became what it is.

Q: Why is Reddit.com so popular? A: It’s the subculture that Reddit.com has. It has this very unique sense of humor that no one else would understand unless they are a user. It has a lot of original funny content. There are a lot of interesting conversations about life and other intellectually based conversations. A good way to describe it is a subculture with a dorky sense of humor. Q: What can be found on the site? A: It offers advice. A person will ask a question about life issues because there are a lot of people on it that have been through the same stuff, and it is a great support group. But

that is not the main purpose of it. It offers unlimited original entertainment. You can either post a link to a video, picture or a website you find interesting. There is world news and rage comics. Anything you can think of, there is a sub-reddit on it and that is where Redditors usually bond. A sub-reddit is a category where you discuss specific topics. There are endless amounts of sub-reddits.

Q: What made you such a huge fan? A: It changed my world view for the better. It molded me into the person I am through the interesting videos and photos that I have been exposed to and through the interesting conversations I have read on it. I go on it constantly; it is addicting. Through Reddit.com I discover very funny, interesting content. Q: Is that why you started the CSUF sub-reddit? A: I started it because of the “Grow a college sub-reddit

competition” and so we could connect. Fullerton Redditors are always alone and no one understands their sense of humor because we have such a unique sense of humor. It was just to connect them so they won’t feel “foreveralone” (a phrase used among Redditors). The purpose is to discuss all things Titan. Anything relevant from pictures, videos to random conversations.

Q: What makes Reddit.com stand out from other message boards or websites? A: It is user generated. It is not influenced by money. It is more intrinsic, meaning you are passionate about it. It is very funny and original. It is a very interesting subculture and a

good time-killer, plus you learn a lot through the conversations on there. They post a lot of stuff I didn’t know existed on campus. It is also very uncensored.

Q: What kind of traffic does the site get on a regular night? A: At least 20 to 40 people check the sub-reddit every night. On average the CSUF sub-reddit gets at least one or two new posts a night. Q: Why did you want fellow Redditors to meet? ...Continued from page 1 Rummler’s ROMs and apps mainly focus on improving a phone’s performance. “Android Overclock gets the CPU to speeds it’s not supposed to be at,” Rummler said about one of his apps that has more than 3,200 downloads. But some of the Android apps and ROMs, such as Android Overclock, require rooting, similar to jailbreaking on the iPhone. The process known as rooting allows users to break past the barriers set by phone manufacturers, allowing them to improve their phone’s performance. “Manufactures don’t like that,” Rummler said. “It’s like a hack. When people think about hacks they think malicious.” Most people don’t understand

A: To find more Redditors. The CSUF sub-reddit is a virtual entity. I arranged the meet-up just to find common people with common interests and bridge them from virtual reality to reality. Because like me, I have a very weird sense of humor, they all have a weird sense of humor, and when we try to translate it to normal people, they usually don’t understand it. I met Redditors accidentally and it was as if we’d known each other for all our lives. You know how you have friends that you have inside jokes with? It’s like that, but it’s a whole community. It’s really awesome.

the more complicated apps and ROMs, according to Rummler, which is why Huy Chu and many opt for the basic apps. Chu sat at a table outside Carl’s Jr at CSUF and played Roman Empire, a free game app he got for his Android phone. “I usually go for the free ones (apps),” said Chu, an Android user of two years who doesn’t like to spend more on apps if he doesn’t need to. Like many, he uses his phone for email, games, music and navigation, the basics to many smartphone enthusiasts. “We’re very much Android enthusiasts,” Rummler said. “It’s really changed my life.” Bailey, who focuses mainly on customer support and troubleshooting, receives between 15 and 20 good and bad emails daily, debugs and does some

programming, contributing ideas as they progress. Rummler’s Rom Toolbox Pro is currently number 20 in the Top Paid in Tools section on the Android Market and is priced at $5 per download. He also has three apps in the top 50 of the Paid in Productivity section, including Android Overclock and App Manager Pro, his latest release priced at $2.99. A free version, but limited App Manager is also available for download on the Android Market.

3-D printing is here Engineering students at CSUF have had the privilege of using 3-D printing on campus, a new technology that is growing in popularity JONATHAN WINSLOW For the Daily Titan

Imagine for a moment a machine housing a pan full of powder. Slowly, the device makes passes over the pan, whirring in a mechanistic fashion. As it continues to make passes, you can begin to see an idea of what the machine is working on. After some time, the apparatus comes to a stop and upon reaching into the tray, you can pull out a fully functional wrench made from the powder. This wrench has been “printed,” using the powder as raw materials. The machine you’ve just imagined is called a 3-D printer, and it isn’t a figment of your imagination, it exists. Though it may sound like something from science fiction, 3-D printers have in fact existed for a number of years. There are many different approaches to the technology, though all of them work by forming layers upon layers to create parts. One of the main advantages of 3-D printers lies in “realizing a very complex 3-D structure in front of our eyes,” said Sang June Oh, P.h.D., assistant professor at Cal State Fullerton. Oh pointed out that CSUF employs 3-D printers in a number of different courses, including EGME 414, Design Project 1. “Students have built senior projects to show how their designs move or operate without having to cut metal parts,” said Michael Shelton P.h.D., a professor at Cal Poly Pomona. CSUF also uses 3-D printers in this way for design courses. Engineers agree the technology is critical to the future of the industry, so it would not be surprising to see CSUF invest even further in the future. Many people have only begun to hear of 3-D printing, thanks to recent advances in the field. Three weeks ago, the BBC reported that advances have been made using elastic biomaterials as “ink” for 3-D printers to produce artificial blood vessels. Combined with lab-created organs, these blood vessels may have an enormous impact on organ transplants in the future. Even more recently, a car was manufactured with all of the body parts printed from a 3-D printer. This makes the old joke about downloading a car seem a bit less ridiculous. This all sounds fantastic, but we haven’t reached the holy grail of Star Trek’s replicator technology. The 3-D printers of today are subject to some limi-

tations. For example, while it’s true that technology can be applied to print a wrench on the other side of the planet, it has yet to be cost efficient when used for mass production. Simply meaning, we can print wrenches in space for work on a space station; however, 3-D printers are in no position to overtake good old-fashioned wrench production. Currently, 3-D printers are primarily utilized in the mechanical engineering field with some use in various other fields, including art. They’re extremely useful in engineering due to their ability to produce models of devices, even ones with moving parts, without the need to use the actual materials. This is an obvious boon to companies who want to try fielding a new idea, seeing as they can make a model with 3-D printing and not risk the full amount of the materials should their project fall through. Jawaharlal “Jawa” Mariappan P.h.D., a professor at Cal Poly Pomona, said some elementary schools are experimenting with 3-D printers. This technology will give children the opportunity to “not only visualize but hold in their hand,” said Mariappan. According to Mariappan, the day may indeed be coming when we see 3-D printers not only in universities and industrial settings, but all throughout the education system. dailytitan.com/features

Ultimate Frisbee NURAN ALTEIR Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton’s Ultimate Frisbee team is preparing for its first tournament of the semester. The tournament, called Huckfest and hosted by UCI’s Ultimate Frisbee team, is scheduled to be held in Irvine Oct. 29 and 30. To prepare for the upcoming tournament, the team has been running laps, doing drills, throwing Frisbees across the field at Yorba Linda Middle School and scrimmaging amongst themselves in the hopes of winning the tournament. While teams are encouraged to dress up in recognition of the Halloween weekend, O-Bang! will not. “We just want to go play,” said Harry Meussner, the team’s vice president. But it’s fun seeing other teams in costumes, said Adam Ruggiero, president of the team. “Not many teams dress up, but the ones that do are typically the more fun, light-hearted teams,” he said. Meussner, 21, a psychology major, said he is most looking forward to how the new players will perform in this tournament. “We’re trying to be more competitive and win more games while still maintaining that fun aspect,” said Ruggiero, 21, a kinesiology major. While Ultimate Frisbee is not your everyday sport, players on the team said they love to be on the team for two reasons: they love the game and see their teammates as family. “This team–we’re really close. We’re definitely the most fun team out there. We’re competitive, but we bring each other up and encourage each other,” said Micah Seabrook, a handler and cutter on the team. Seabrook, 21, a psychology major, went on to explain that he loves Ultimate Frisbee because of how it brings football and soccer together. Ultimate Frisbee is kind of like a mesh of football and soccer. While scoring is similar to how you may score in a football game, the game resembles soccer because of how players depend on their teammates to get the Frisbee across the field. Getting the Frisbee across the field is not easy because the player holding the Frisbee must stand in place until they pass it. “Some people think it’s a quirky sport, but when we’re in a tournament, it gets really serious,” Seabrook said. “It can be really competitive.” Like football and soccer, Ultimate Frisbee can be very demanding, the players said. “Everyone should know that Ultimate Frisbee is one of the most cardiovascular-demanding sports … It’s all about stamina,” Meussner said. Besides practicing for future tournaments, the coed team, which consists of two women and 12 men, is in the process of creating an all-women’s team.

Heethuis not enough in 3-1 loss UNLV outshoots Titans 67-30 on their way to victory despite CSUF goalie’s play SEAN VIELE

Daily Titan

Courtesy of Jillian Mason The ultimate frisbee team at Cal State Fullerton practices earlier this year. Ultimate combines high-flying, exciting plays and strategic techniques.

The Titans were given a wake-up call Thursday night in the form of speed and a heavy barrage of shots from the fast-skating University of Nevada Las Vegas Rebels at KHS Ice Arena. In a 3-1 loss to the Rebels, the Titans were out-skated, outshot and out-played at times. It was a close hockey game all night on the scoreboard, but a continuous failure of the Titans to effectively break out of the defensive zone proved to limit the number of Fullerton scoring chances. A number of Titan turnovers and a lack of puck possession provided the Rebels with a lopsided number of scoring chances. If not for Titan goaltender Brandon Heethuis standing on his head to keep the puck out of the back of the net, the scoreboard would have been far more lopsided as well. By the end of regulation, the Titans had been outshot 67-30. “He was huge,” said Titan forward Ryan Cruz in regards to the stellar play in net by Heethuis. “For 40 minutes he kept the game 0-0 and gave us a chance to get back into it. We didn’t really support him as much as we’d like to.” The Titans did well at adjusting to the high tempo of the Rebels and it generated some quality scoring chances throughout the game. Much of the night it looked as though Heethuis could easily steal the game for the Titans (1-1, 0-1). “We didn’t see that kind of speed necessarily with USC, so it was just getting used to the speed of the game right off the bat and just getting ready to play,” Cruz said. The Titan penalty killers did a fine job of keeping the Rebel’s power play at bay, leaving the Rebels 0 for 5 on the power play. But like they say, a team’s goaltender must be its best penalty killer, and such was the case for the Titans. The Titans were 1 of 3 with the man advantage, scoring their lone goal on the power play.

After 40 minutes of scoreless hockey, the Rebels broke the tie early in the third period. With the faceoff in the Titan’s defensive zone, UNLV center Zach Richards won the draw back at the right point to defenseman Tyler Wilson, who teed up a slap shot that went through traffic and found its way past Heethuis only 28 seconds into the period. Less than two minutes later, the Rebel’s struck again when Rebel forward Todd Monteros sent a pass from below the goal line in the slot to an open James Ross, who quickly buried the puck to make

it 2-0. CSUF held itself in the game and cut the Rebel’s lead in half at 6:58 of the third period. With UNLV forward Tyler Wilson in the penalty box for interference, the Titans capitalized on the power play when defensemen Evan Benner sent a cross ice pass from down low on the right side to Cruz on the far left post. Cruz made no mistake of tipping the puck past the Rebels’ goaltender to make the score 2-1 with 14 minutes left to play. But the Titans were unable to find the back of the net again and the Rebels put the final nail in the coffin with an empty net goal with 28 seconds remaining in the game. “It’s disappointing we couldn’t come out with the W but you know, it’s a big step for this team,” said Heethuis. “Staying with this team is a big step for us overall and we just need to move forward.” The Titans will move forward starting Thursday when they play host to San Jose State, the first of three games in three nights. Friday and Saturday the Titans host Arizona State University. Those games won’t be any easier, said Titan forward Blake Dorman, who pointed out his team needs to work on faceoffs before this week’s matchups. “We played pretty good and we can’t hang our heads,” said Dorman.

CSUF Hosts Tennis Tournament Cal State Fullerton hosted the 2011 Fall Intercollegiate Tournament over the weekend at the Titan Courts. The three-day tournament saw the debuts of freshmen Devyn Billingsley, Jessica Pepa and Kalika Slevcove. Junior Monica Rodriguez advanced to the third round after day one in singles and in doubles with teammate. Rodriguez got a firstround bye and defeated Portland State’s Marian Todd in straight sets (7-6, 6-1). All Titan doubles pairings advanced in the main draw. Pepa and Slevcove bageled Portland State’s Todd and Emily McClaran, while Billingsley and junior Avriel Tomaiko advanced via default. Rodriguez and junior Malorie dela Cruz defeated UC Riverside’s Thanh Doan and Kate Bergeson 8-5. Sophomore Morgan McIntosh and junior Tiffany Mai advanced to day two on a bye. Day two didn’t fare well for the Titans with McIntosh and doubles pairing of Billingsley and Tomaiko competing for consolation crowns Sunday morning. McIntosh won in straight sets over UCR Bergeson (6-2, 6-1) and Oregon’s Trudie du Toit (6-3, 6-2). Billingsley and Tomaiko advanced via a default. The results from Sunday had not yet been released.

VOLLEYBALL: Titans slip out of first place with loss ...Continued from page 1 “A huge thing we were working on was being aggressive and so that’s what we came here to do, and we didn’t start out as aggressive as we wanted to,” said Neto of the Titans’ lack of offense. The Titans wouldn’t throw in the towel and took the third set 25-21. It looked to be over in opening with the 49ers jumping out to a 4-1 lead, but contributions from Edmond, Maurer, Neto and service ace from Ragan put the Titans ahead at 9-7 and didn’t look back. CSUF looked like a different team during the set, appearing to be a lot more loose and laughing on the sidelines during timeouts. “We have nothing to lose. Might as well go all-out, play aggressive, go hard and just let it happen,“ said Edmond of the team’s change of character in the set. The 49ers would wake up from their nap and dominated the Titans 25-11 to take the set and match. Ledoux would get the final two points of the match and showed CSUF why the team was nationally ranked. Ragan had 35 assists in the match, leaving her eight shy of the school record 3,907 set by Julie Geissert. The Titans next play a pair of home games against their northern division rivals Pacific and UC Davis Friday and Saturday, respectively. Contact Us at dtsportsdesk@gmail.com

Intramurals set off volleyball matches Coed league brings competition for all JUSTIN SHANNON Daily Titan

Attention athletes, former athletes and aspiring athletes. Cal State Fullerton’s intramural volleyball is underway and is providing students of all skill levels a place to get involved. Every Monday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., CSUF students can show off their skills, or lack of skills, on the court inside the Student Recreation Center. Teams consisting of all shapes and sizes battle for the top spot in the rankings. There are a few steps to take before joining the league, but the primary qualifications are the desire to have fun and meet new people. It’s a great alternative for athletes of all skill levels. “I was playing volleyball in high school and I was thinking about joining the club team, but right now, since I heard about intramural and because I come to the Rec Center so often, I thought I would join volleyball,” said Steven Wang, 17, an undeclared student. The league plays under coed rules, so the net is lower than men’s regulation height and each team must have three girls on the court at all times, with six people on the court per team. “The six-on-six volleyball league has been going on for a very long time. It’s one of our more popular leagues in the fall. Starting last year, we converted it to a coed league. Before it was just a women’s and a men’s league separate from each other, but we found that our players really love the coed teams because it gets a lot more players into the games and a lot more competition,” said Trevor Rabone, intramural assistant coordinator. “We’ve found that more teams want to sign up for it and we can have a larger league because it’s coed.”

The league runs for six weeks. It’s round-robin play and culminates with a final day of playoffs where one team is crowned as champions. “We’ve got a lot of really good teams and it could really go any way. There are some teams that are pretty good and there are a few teams, that when things are going their way, they could be a ‘sleeper’ in this league. Really anybody can take this league and that’s the beauty of intramural,” Rabone said. Rabone wants everybody to play as much as possible and makes an effort not to shut anybody out from the league. His main goal is to get people on the court and playing. He emphasized the importance of getting involved, especially at commuter schools such as CSUF where students are not on campus. Activities like intramural sports help a lot of students when they are able to do something other than schoolwork yet still on campus. “You can join up with friends, network with people you don’t know and really get into the flow here,” Rabone said. Johnny Vo, a kinesiology major, is a part of the league and described how simple it was for him to become a part of it. “I got involved through some friends that have always played volleyball and I’ve always played volleyball, so we were like ‘Hey, let’s make a team,’” said Vo. Vo described the league as being pretty fun and although he only plays recreationally, he said his competitive nature comes out on the court. His team, When Zombies Attack, even created homemade jerseys, which, tattered and stained, reveals an open-mouthed zombie when Vo flashes the underside of his shirt. This kind of spirit makes intramural sports an evidently enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Women’s soccer loses in heartbreak Long Beach State’s Nadia Link nets overtime winner after 49ers tie game with goal off header with 14 seconds left ALEX APODACA Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team suffered a tough 2-1 overtime loss against rival Long Beach State 49ers in its third straight conference game after taking an early lead in the first half. “We should have come away with the win,” said Titan goalkeeper sophomore Lindsey Maricic. The Titans were fresh off a 2-1 overtime win against UC Santa Barbara despite the lack of their leading goal scorer, junior Ann Marie Tangorra. Tangorra suffered a concussion and was held out for the two previous games against Cal Poly SLO and UC Santa Barbara. Tangorra also suffered an ankle injury during the second half, but does not expect to miss anymore games. “It just hurts, but I’ll be fine,” said Tangorra.

The Titans fell to 6-6-2 overall and 1-2 in Big West Conference games. The 49ers increased their Big West leading record to 10-3-1 overall and 3-0 in conference games. During the opening five minutes of the first half, the Titans were on their heels and the game was played almost entirely in the defensive zone. The Titans were able to recover their focus and had the first scoring chance of the game as sophomore Erica Mazeau was first to a loose ball at the top of the box, but was foiled by diving 49er goalkeeper Kaitlyn Gustaves. About 10 minutes later, with 17:18 left to play in the first half, Tangorra got a pass through to junior Stacey Fox who was able to put it past an out-of-position Gustaves for an early 1-0 Titan lead. The Titans held the 1-0 lead through the half and the advantage in both shots, 8-6, and time of possession. “It’s the one goal lead that hurts,” said Head Coach Demian Brown. “We have to take better chances and get that second goal.” In the second half the Titans were determined to protect the lead and had a strong defensive presence. Maricic made sure of that by stopping two tough shots on goal, including a header by 49er senior mid-

fielder Shawna Gordon, causing Maricic to make a miraculous diving save. As the game wound down, the Titans were off the bench celebrating what would be their second conference win. Unfortunately, for both them and Maricic, the 49ers tied the game off a corner kick with only 14 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. “I probably should have come out and got (the ball),” Maricic said. “That’s what I’m beating myself up over.” In overtime, the momentum was clearly against the Titans. At the 94:11 mark in the game, junior forward Nadia Link won the game for the 49ers with her league-leading 12th goal of the season. The shot was taken at the top of the box, went off the crossbar and in past a helpless Maricic. “I was shocked, I was in disbelief,” Tangorra said. “We were so close.” Just five minutes after the Titans began to celebrate their second conference win to the rival 49ers, they had to shrug off a 2-1 overtime loss instead. “I thought we did everything we could,” Brown said. “I felt really good about the game.” The next game for the Titans will be another Big West Conference game against UC Irvine at home Oct. 14.
