Fatigue weighs heavily on AS
Getting their groove on
nMEETING: Exam stress takes its toll on board members’ frayed nerves By Marlayna Slaughterbeck

With final exams just around the corner, stress and fatigue appeared to take a visible toll on members of Associated Students’ Board of Directors at Tuesday’s meeting. The mood at the semester’s final meeting was, at times, decidedly tense. After Vice President Linda Luna left early to finish working on a 30-page paper, Chair of the Board Vincent Amaya asked members if there were any objections. Surprisingly, there were. Young Kim, Director for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, said that he also had a paper due, but that he managed to squeeze in time for the meeting. After Kim’s objection was seconded, Elliot Sacks, Director of Statewide Affairs urged members to consider Luna’s predicament. “Keep in mind that if there is ever a time when you need to be excused for one reason or another — just remember the tone we’re setting here,” Sacks cautioned. The discussion then turned to the early departure of another board member after Christina Machado, Director of Human Development and Community Services left early for a doctor’s appointment. Although no vote was taken in her case, there was some minor grumbling about why Machado did not schedule
the appointment around the meeting. The tension did not hamper the board’s progress, however, as it scrambled to wrap up remaining issues for the semester. Responding to a presentation from Parking and Transportation Services, board members fired a litany of questions at Transportation Programs Manager Lupe Briseño and Director Joseph A. Ferrer. Concerns included a possible increase in parking fees to pay for a future parking structure and whether evening shuttle service could be provided during the final two weeks of the semester. Ferrer and Briseño handled the questions with ease, saying that although it is late in the semester to add night shuttle service, they would nonetheless try. Responding to the possible increase in parking fees,Ferrer told the board that “There are no hard numbers yet.” Vice President of Student Affairs Kandy Mink and Associate Vice President of Facilities Management Jay Bond also gave a presentation to the board updating the status of the photo project for the Facilities Master Development Plan. In a slide presentation, Bond showed examples of the 400 photos taken and submitted by students illustrating their favorite and least favorite places on campus. Bond said the photos closely reflected issues already acknowledged by the Master Development Plan. “Our perceptions as staff and professionals were pretty much on target,” Bond said, adding that although this particular phase of the project was essentially complete, the photos would still be used for reference in the future.
Shooting digital provides freedom nTECHNOLOGY: The continuous improvement of digital cameras makes them more popular today than ever By Matt Capuano
Daily Titan Staff Writer With technology moving at a fast rate, all the items people use everyday are advancing and being simplified. One of the most obvious improvements is in the field of photography. Cameras have turned from cameras with rolls of film to digital cameras with memory cards. Digital cameras are becoming more than just cameras. Some digi-

tal cameras are capable of capturing not only still photographs, but also sound and video because they are evolving into more like multimedia recorders than cameras. In addition to displaying and distributing photographs, a person can also use a photo-editing program to improve or alter photos. For example, a user can crop photos, remove red-eye, change colors or contrast and even add or delete elements. It’s like having a darkroom with the lights on and without the chemicals. Some of the most popular programs for this are Microsoft Picture It, Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw. Beyond the image manipulation power, there is the image quality. If a photographer traces the path that most photographs take from shooting to printing, there are at least two steps – film processing and scanning the photo – that are eliminated. As the cameras improve, digital cam-
eras will be able to capture a greater tonal range than film. By combining the functions of photography and scanning, digital cameras eliminate several steps when it comes to developing film, which means it eliminates the time and cost of film processing. Digital cameras also enable the easy transmission of images. By connecting a digital camera to a modem, a person can transmit photographs anywhere in a matter of minutes. This is particularly beneficial for photojournalists. Digital cameras also eliminate the need for costly film. The cost and time delays involved in processing and scanning photographs are also eliminated. Although both the immediacy and flexibility of digital photography make the medium so popular, there is one aspect that is rarely mentioned: The new freedom it gives its users
to explore creative photography. In the past, photographers had to carry around a camera bag that weighed a ton because of all the extra film inside, and possibly may have hesitated before taking a picture because of limited film. During that time, a photographer may perform a mental calculation, saying, “Is it worth it?” At the same time, the photographer runs down a checklist of costs, times and effort. During that decisive moment the image is often lost. The photographer loses the opportunity for creative growth and chooses to stay with the familiar path that has worked in the past. “I love the freedom of being able to take a picture and not having to worry about it,” said an advertising major, Luis Chavez. “In the past I would have to worry about how many pictures I had left.” Digital photography not only eliminates the “Is it worth it?” ques-

Cameras have evolved from manual film to digital in a short time. tion, but it also leaves the option of reusable film. Hand the camera to anyone, take weird and unusual angles, shoot without looking and ignore all conceptions about how to take photographs. One may be surprised at the photos one can get if this new era of uninhibited shooting
is exploited. “I take new pictures all the time and I don’t have to worry about it,” art student, Mark King said. “I also like being able to see the picture before and after I take the picture.”

Honors club opposes commencement consolidation nGRADUATION: The university plans to reduce the number of ceremonies in the College of Humanities By Marlayna Slaughterbeck Daily Titan Staff Writer
Young Kim has put in five long years toward his degree. Looking toward graduation in the spring should make him smile, but instead it makes him angry. Recently, the political science major learned that the university is planning to condense the number of commencement ceremonies within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences from six to possibly four. “If this happens — and I hope it won’t — commencement will be just
another crowded, impersonal event,” Kim said. After learning of the plans, Kim took the matter to members of the honors political science club, Pi Sigma Alpha, of which he is president. Friday, the club passed a resolution voicing its opposition to the plan. Club members agreed that reducing the number of ceremonies would destroy the intimacy of the experience and trivialize its importance. “We think once students find out, they’ll be just as against it as we are,” said Pi Sigma Alpha member Shamoli Kulkarni. Kulkarni also referred to her belief that the university intends to use the money it saves to pay a prestigious speaker who will garner positive attention for Cal State Fullerton. “Commencement is supposed to be for students and their guests. We aren’t concerned about having a high-profile speaker if it means the ceremony is an overcrowded mess,” Kulkarni said.
“You work so hard for four years, and you want some recognition for it. You want to feel like you’re part of the event — not just a face in the crowd.” Most seniors, like Kulkarni and Kim, look forward to graduating, but know little about the process. Even Kim, who serves on Associated Students’ Board of Directors and is privy to a good deal more information than the average student, found himself caught off guard by the situation. “This upset me very much” Kim said. “I’m sure if I hadn’t found out about this ahead of time, I would have just gone through commencement thinking the change was an act of God. I definitely wouldn’t have guessed that I personally could have done anything about it.” While Kim and Kulkarni say the issue concern financial matters, John Beisner, adviser to President Milton Gordon, insisted it is not. “There has not been, to my knowledge, any discussion about saving
http://dailytitan.fullerton.edu
money by reducing the number of ceremonies in order to pay for a more prestigious speaker,” Beisner said, explaining that the commencement committee arrived at the current proposal for several different reasons. Among them, the health and safety issues surrounding the heat factor, and traffic and parking congestion. Beisner said that the in the past two years, the university had incurred problems in these areas as a result of the larger number of ceremonies. Expanding on the issue of health and safety, Beisner explained that by the time the final two ceremonies were held, the temperature outside had skyrocketed and not only were people restless and uncomfortable, but there was a real health concern. “Parking was a major problem, as well,” Beisner said, adding that traffic was congested because so many people from the early ceremonies were trying to exit the parking lots while those who were participating in the
later ceremonies were trying to enter them. Other issues considered included the lag time between the all-inclusive ceremony in the morning and the individual ceremonies given later by the various colleges, and the number of available facilities. “We’re looking at the possibility of losing venues, both this year and in the future, to various construction projects,” Beisner said. While Beisner said he believes that having a talented, well-respected speaker at the event is a positive thing, he emphasized that it was not a factor in the university’s decision to re-work the number of ceremonies. “There has never, to my knowledge, been a discussion about saving money with fewer ceremonies in order to use it for a more prestigious speaker,” Beisner said. While it may seem as if there are

Disney’s new addition set to make its debut in February nENTERTAINMENT: The California Adventure will offer guests a variety of attractions By Michael Sandoval
Daily Titan Staff Writer “As long as there is imagination in the world, Disneyland will never be complete.” Walt Disney said this 45 years ago when the original park opened its gates in 1955. Next year the continuation of his dream will come to life with a second theme park in Anaheim. Disney’s California Adventure is the new theme park opening directly across from Disneyland on Feb. 8, 2001. This 55-acre theme park encompasses much of what California has to offer. “The grand opening signals the completion of the largest expansion in the 45-year history of The Disneyland Resort,” said Paul Pressler, president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The park is divided up into three districts, each displaying a unique part of the California experience. “When we started working on it there was a tremendous amount of suspicion in the air because it was so different,” said Barry Braverman, Walt Disney Imagineering executive producer for Disney’s California Adventure. When entering the park, visitors will notice a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge and as they walk under it, end up face to face with a giant titanium sun glimmering from the sunlight. In order to keep this glimmering during daylight hours, mirrors have been posted on 40-
DIGITAL n from page 1 Digital cameras come in a variety of shapes, sizes and features. Prices range from $99 to $2,000, depending on the manufacturer and the features it has. Some of the most popular manufacturers include Kodak, Fuji, JVC, Hewlett Packard and Olympus. “We tend to sell more Kodak than any other company,” Steve Lewis, a Best Buy employee said. “I think people tend to buy cameras by the name of the manufacturer.” Once captured, digital photographs are already in a format that makes them incredibly easy to distribute and use. For example, you can insert digital photographs into word processing documents, send them by e-mail to friends, or post them on a Web site where anyone in the world can see them. With many cameras you can immediately see your images on a small Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen on the back of most cameras, or you can connect the camera to a TV and show them much like a slide show. Some cameras can even be connected to a microscope to display dramatically enlarged images on a large-screen television. Digital photography is instant photography without the film costs.

foot high poles that work on a global positioning system to track the path of the sun and reflect any sunlight into the direction of this centerpiece. This is also where guests can begin their day by entering one of the three districts. Hollywood Pictures Backlot pays tribute to the movie industry and Hollywood. “We are really trying to give guests that sense, to gratify their fascination with Hollywood,” Braverman said. As visitors pass through the gates, it looks like a traditional street in Hollywood’s glamour days. One of the attractions is Superstar Limo. In this slow-paced ride, guests are greeted by their agent and whisked away in a limousine to their big world premier. Along the way, guests encounter audio-animatronic celebrities like Tim Allen, Cindy Crawford, Drew Carey and Jackie Chan, as well as other surprises. Muppet Vision 3D is a show transplanted from MGM/Walt Disney Studios in Florida. This show has all the Muppet characters that guests may remember as children — Kermit the Frog, Missy Piggy and Fozzie Bear, among the rest of Jim Henson’s creations. Disney also features a performing arts theater named the Hyperion Theater, which will house performances five times a day with Disney’s memorable characters. One area in this section is the Disney Animation exhibit. As visitors enter to begin the tour, they walk into a large room with small and extremely large artist canvases. Suddenly, music is heard and live video and stills of different Disney animations appear on the canvases. Giving guests a 22-minute glimpse of all the animation shorts and movies
that made the company famous. During the tour guests will be able to see how animators create these classic films as well as allowing them to be a part of the experience. Guests will be allowed to lend their voices to famous animated cartoons, as well as take a personality test to match up with the Disney character that reflects their personality. The second district at DCA is called Golden State. Here guests encounter the California natural resources and the cultures within it. From the giant sun, a guest can venture to the right and enter the Condor Flats area. A radar tower at the entrance marks the area. It represents the military bases of California, such as Vandenberg Air Force Base. “We are building a story with the places we create at this park,” Braverman said. “We thought of High Desert Air Fields, with runway lights to get you in the mood.” In this area, guests will encounter the Soarin’ Over California ride. This attraction allows 87 passengers to fly on hang gliders to different destinations around California. Over oceans and orange fields, guests will feel the sensation of wind on their faces and smell the different areas they fly over. Another attraction is the Grizzly River Run. This water raft ride has two drops. The first drop is 14-feet high and the second is 21 feet. Guests can spot the Grand California Hotel off in the distance, fitting into the scenery of the theme park. The hotel opens to the public on Feb. 8, the same day the park opens. This is the first Disney hotel actually within one of its theme parks. Another part of the Golden State district is the San Francisco, Pacific

In this section guests can see a film hosted by Whoopie Goldberg that shows the history of the state. The Pacific Wharf has various displays and eateries, such as a Boudin sourdough bread-making factory and a Mission Tortilla plant that show how both of these products are made. The Napa Valley section is unique to the Disney theme parks in California because it serves alcohol in the park. This working winery with a small vineyard on the side of the building will show how wine is produced. The Mondavi Winery of Napa Valley will operate this small winery. The Pacific Pier section of the park is a tribute to California’s old beachside amusement park, such as the ones in Long Beach, Santa Cruz, Santa Monica and San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. “We captured a nostalgic look,”
Japanese students visit camnCAMPUS: About 200 students from the Tokyo College of Sports and Recreation toured the Kinesiology Building By Camille Jones
Daily Titan Staff Writer Students near the Physical Education and Titan Student Union Buildings late Tuesday afternoon might have seen a line of Japanese students walking between the two buildings and wondered what was going on. The 200 students came from the Tokyo College of Sports and Recreation, a vocational school in Japan. The students were at Cal State Fullerton to tour the Kinesiology Department. For about an hour, the students, who were divided into six groups, visited the Athletic Training Room, the Physical Performance Lab, the Baseball Complex, and the weight, gymnastics and wrestling rooms of the Physical Education Building.
Chris Mumaw, the assistant athletic trainer at the university, led one of the groups on the tour and was the person responsible for organizing the students’ visit to CSUF. After the tour, the group followed Mumaw to the Portola Pavilion in the TSU. In the pavilion, Mumaw was the first to welcome the students to campus. Through a translator, Mumaw said that he hoped that their visit had been “pleasant and informative.” Julie Max, the president of the National Athletic Trainers Association and a faculty member in the Kinesiology Department on campus, also addressed the students. In her speech, Max thanked the students for coming to CSUF and she encouraged them to “never stop learning, always believe in your goals, surround yourself with people who believe in you and promote your profession.” Last to speak to the students was Robert Kersey. Kersey, the curriculum director of the Athletic Training Program , began his lecture by telling the students that he had visited Tokyo
20 years ago and had enjoyed his stay there. He said he hoped that they were also enjoying their stay here. Kersey then spoke to the students about the skills needed to be a professional athletic trainer in the United States. Kersey discussed 12 areas or characteristics that are looked for in a professional athletic trainer. Some of the areas he covered included an explanation of how an athletic trainer should be knowledgeable about prevention or risk management, which includes physical exams. An athletic trainer should also display knowledge of injury, illness assessment and be able to prevent the spread of disease. During Kersey’s lecture, some of the visiting students began to fall asleep with their pens upright and their notebooks in their laps. Mumaw explained that the students had just arrived from a 14hour flight and had immediately boarded buses to come straight to the university for the two-hour tour and lecture. After leaving CSUF, the students were to tour the physical education departments of other universities, Mumaw said.
Braverman said. “We thought of the white wooden roller coasters and tried to give this section that look.” This section has the first looping roller coaster — California Screamin’ — at the Anaheim location. This threeminute high-speed ride launches guests up the lift hill at 50 mph, using a catapult launch system into the first drop. The Mali-boomer is a 200-foot tower that resembles the test-of-strength games at early carnivals. It launches guests up the tower in a couple of seconds. Other attractions are the 150-foot tall Sun Wheel, the Mulholland Madness wild mouse coaster and the child-sized thrill ride, Jumpin’ Jellyfish, to name a few. In this section, guests can also eat hamburgers and pizza or have a nice dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s. If a visitor doesn’t feel like entering the new theme park, there is also a new
entertainment district called Downtown Disney. “Its lush environment connects the expanded Disneyland Resort and embodies our vision for the guest experience, which the entire complex will offer,” said Timur Galen, senior vice president and general manager of Walt Disney Imagineering. In this area, a visitor can go to see a movie at the AMC Theatre, eat at the sports bar, ESPN Zone or the tropical Rainforest Cafe. If a visitor wishes to see live entertainment, he or she can visit Y Arriba for music with a Latin flavor or some funky R&B at the House of Blues. There is also the Jazz Kitchen with its New Orleans flavor for dinner and mellow jazz. Along with the shops and scenery, it gives the West Coast version of Downtown Disney a unique look.

be resolved before the end of the semester and so we’ll all be pulled away from our Christmas break to get it taken care of.” When asked whether he believed students should have a say in the decision-making process, Beisner said that although there has been a small number of students involved the university is taking steps to include more students in the formal process in the future. “It’s an ongoing process, but the goal of the university is to be responsive to students’ concerns and to include them in the process,” Beisner said. “We stand right next to AS in wanting to make that happen and it will happen. If students have concerns, of course we’re going to go back and review our decisions.” Beisner said the final plan regarding the number of ceremonies should be decided within the next couple of weeks. Citing the university’s slow progress with the parking situation, Elliot Sacks, director of Statewide Affairs agreed with Mooney, saying that the university would do well to recognize the value of shared governance between students and administration. “They’re finally making progress, but the parking problem didn’t just crop up overnight — it’s been going on for years,” Sacks said. “Situations like this really highlight the weaknesses within the administration.”
n from page 1 only two sides to the issue, AS Director of Administration Evan Mooney has raised yet another. “The problem is not that there was not enough student involvement,” Mooney said. “The problem is that, first of all, administrators themselves are not all on the same page and, secondly, the [commencement restructuring] process was begun far too late to be optimally effective.” Mooney pointed to Beisner’s assertion that the number of ceremonies was not being reduced to pay for a more prestigious speaker as an example of poor organization. “If what he says is true, then why have a number of students been told this?” Mooney asked. “The bottom line is there’s no way to know what the truth is unless we’re all in the same room, dealing with the same issues from the very beginning.” Mooney suggested that the university often wastes time backpedaling out of situations such as this one because of ineffective planning. ‘It’s not an ideal way to run things when you have student resources that could be tapped into initially,” Mooney said. “Why not involve AS from the beginning? A little foresight would have eliminated these problems, but because there was none, we have a situation that can’t

Lions tame Titans in 65-56 nMEN’S BASKETBALL: Harmon and Richardson score 12 apiece as CSUF falls to 1-4 with loss to LMU By Fermin Leal
Daily Titan Executive Editor The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team could not extend its short-lived one-game winning streak after losing to Loyola Marymount Tuesday night 65-56 in front of 735 in Gerstin Pavilion.
With the loss, CSUF’s record drops to 1-4, equaling the start the team had last season. The Titans had a balanced scoring attack with, four players scoring in double figures. Senior forward Ike Harmon and junior guard Kevin Richardson led the Titans with 12 points apiece. Sophomore center Babacar Camara added 10 points and four rebounds. Freshman guard Ryan Dillon chipped in with 11 points and six rebounds. The game was played close throughout with both teams having similar results in several offensive and defensive categories. CSUF shot 42 percent from the
field while the Lions shot 40 percent. Neither team had much success from behind the three point line. The Titans made 3 of 10. LMU did not fare much better, sinking only 3 of 11. Both teams crashed the boards evenly, as CSUF pulled down 30 compared to the Lions’ 32. Harmon, playing his second full game of the season, did not put up the numbers the team needed to give them the win. The biggest difference in the game came at the free throw line. The Titans made 13 out of 18 and the Lions sank 26 out of 37. The Lions were led in scoring by junior guard Phillip Czernin who
had 17 points for the game. Center Pablo Machado scored 12 points and grabbed 7 rebounds and guard Robert Davis scored 10 points. Last season, CSUF picked up its first victory against the Lions at Titan Gym. The Titans will hope to get their second victory of the season when they play against the University of Wyoming Saturday night at 7 p.m. in Titan Gym. After that, CSUF will play Baylor on Dec. 16 in Titan Gym. The team will start conference play against the University of Pacific on Jan. 4.

Women host surging Waves of Pepperdine nWOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Team will look for first win of the season tonight against surging Waves By Raul Ascencio
Daily Titan Staff Writer After racking up a quintet of early season defeats, the Cal State Fullerton’s women’s basketball team [0-5] hopes to subdue the board-crashing Waves of Pepperdine at home tonight at Titan Gym and nab their first victory of the year. The Titans were dealt their latest loss Saturday afternoon at the hand of Portland State who unleashed a slew of swishes late in the game to cap off a 73-59 victory. Commanding the offensive effort for the Titans was the guard-forward tandem of Tamara Quinn, who led all scorers with 17 points and sophomore Heather Hansen who posted 11 points. But the stellar showings of Quinn
and Hansen could not make amends for poor free throw shooting, which proved to be the deciding factor for CSUF. Free throws, conversely, have been a stern stronghold for tonight’s Titan opponent, who are surfing on the wave of a three-game winning streak. Pepperdine is also armed with a stifling front-court arsenal which combined for 37 points and 12 rebounds in its Saturday night victory over UC Irvine. Comprising half of the flawless front court is freshman point guard Shandrika Lee who captivated onlookers as she gathered an astonishing six rebounds, three steals, and 20 points. Three other Pepperdine players toppled the 10 point-pedestal for the Waves as they scurried past host Irvine by the score of 66-59. The Titans are well-equipped to combat the shooting efficiency of the Waves, but will need to establish and maintain a persevering defensive press throughout the 40 minutes of play. Following tonight’s game, the Titans will hit the road and venture out to compete in three road contests. The first of the three is a December 8th Friday night showdown with the Gaels
