Cal Sate Fullerton President Milton A. Gordon and 27 other Cal State executives received their annual raise at a time when faculty cannot come to a contract agreement with the CSU adminstration and students may be looking at increased fees.

The raise was approved by the Board of Trustees on Wednesday and called for a 4 percent increase on the paychecks of top administrators, according to the Orange County Register.

“There are various percentages for various groups, and most got a 4 percent increase, which is what the executives got,” Gordon said.

“Shuffle up and deal” was the phrase that kept 40 Cal State Fullerton students stacking chips and going all in to win the first Texas Hold ‘Em tournament Thursday.

All seats were filled in the first of seven tournaments to be held in the TSU Underground. More than a dozen eager students were denied the Hold ‘Em plaque, which was awarded to the winner.

With the poker tables roped off and heart, club, spade and diamond shaped balloons all around, 38 men and two women each set out with $1500 in chips to play their way to the final table.

Five minutes into the game, the first two players were knocked out.

“I played all I had because I wanted my name on that plaque,” said 23-year-old math major Chris Alegna, who was the second player out.

While being proctored by two of the Underground employees, the players took turns shuffling and dealing.

Each table played at their own pace adhering to standard Hold ‘Em rules.

As students wait in line to have their TitanCard photos taken, many are unaware that in just minutes they will be holding their ticket to discounted services or dining bills-off campus.

TitanCard, the official Cal State Fullerton identification card can be used on campus to pay for school supplies, photocopies, or food when students add funds or Titan Tender.

The card also provides access to computer labs, sporting events and drop-in-fitness and can be used at several off-campus establishments for discounts of up to 15 percent when presented at the time of purchase.

Businesses located near campus such as Quizno’s Subs, Round Table Pizza, and Baskin Robbins offer students 10 percent off their total order.

Others, such as Chipotle, offer free small-sized drinks in addition to purchases.

According to Matt Borgelt, store manager for the Baskin Robbins located on the corner of State College Boulevard and Chapman Avenue, student discounts benefit both the student and the business.

“The discounts attract more customers and keeps a constant flow of people coming,” he said. “Plus, college students are usually starving students so it really helps them out.”

Although Borgelt estimates that about one in four students who stop by his store take advantage of the 10 percent savings, kinesiology major Tim Walsh admits to knowing nothing about the benefits of TitanCard both on and off-campus and thinks more should be done to inform students.

“I don’t know anything about the

card,” Walsh said. “I only use it to buy books and I’ve never used it off campus before. They should make announcements at sporting events or something, and then maybe you can get ice cream afterwards.”

However, according to TitanCard program manager Gladys Maldoon, information regarding the on-campus uses of the TitanCard are available online, while off-campus discounts independent of TitanCards are advertised by the vendor.

“We do not currently have any official relationship with any off-campus vendor, so we are not currently notified by any vendors of any discounts,” Maldoon said in an e-mail interview. “It would be great for all parties who negotiate discounts for students to work together. I think students would appreciate having an accurate and current list of merchants who offer discounts.”

Some vendors post signs to make students more aware of discounts, Borgelt said, most students just don’t pay attention to them.

“It’s really funny because a lot of times students will come in and point at the sign and ask if that’s me in the picture,” he said of a sign posted near the register which shows a student holding an enlarged student identification card. “Then they pay without ever asking about the discount [being advertised].”

While Maldoon stresses that the TitanCard is all about campus convenience, she does acknowledge the benefits of off-campus perks.

“Sometimes people may not perceive the value of saving money by taking advantage of the discounts offered because at first glance they seem minimal,” she said. “But when you start adding up 50 cents each SEE SAVINGS - PAGE 3

Non-Lethal Weapons Should be First Choice

Non-lethal weapons are available, law enforcement should use them.

Patrick Chavis

Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com

Imagine you are driving down the street minding your own business.

Suddenly, a police car pulls up right next to you. You pull out your drivers license to show the officer. He might tell you that you were speeding or, perhaps, your car’s taillight is out. This would be a normal situation, one that happens everyday.

But there are instances in which these situations shift from commonplace to dangerous. Sometimes, innocent people die because of the misinterpretation of an event.

This is why killings by police are so upsetting. Because, internally, we believe there’s a better way.

One of the most difficult cases to

judge is a case against a police officer.

Police officers risk their lives everyday to protect the citizens around them.

So who are we, the very citizens that they are protecting, to judge when it is an offier’s life on the line. The answer is simple: we shouldn’t have to judge. But we shouldn’t see so many senseless deaths, either.

Margaret Laverne Mitchell, a homeless woman was shot and killed by an office rying to apprehend a shopping cart from her. She was killed for defending herself from the officer using a screwdriver. The situation sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous. Instead of subduing her, the officer shot and killed her.

Police officers are taught to react, not to think. In a life or death situation, policemen are taught to make split-second decisions. They are equipped with lethal weapons that are used when necessary, and sometimes when not. Does a suspect deserve to die for stealing a magazine?

The weapons used in these in-

stances are to blame. Considering that there are many effective, nonlethal weapons on the market, why are officers not using them?

Rubber Bullets, Stun Guns, Bean Bag launchers and Pepper Spray guns all are as effective as any gun round.

When an officer shoots a rubber bullet at a suspect, it can hit at 221 mph. Depending on proximity, this impact can break bone. Non-lethal weapons do the job and in the end, everyone lives.

These weapons should be made available to officers so that they do not have to rely on lethal weapons.

While the price of non-lethal weapons seems to be the deterrent, isn’t a human life worth more? Departments are saying they cannot afford to train people in the use of these weapons but the police can’t afford not to.

The ability to react is not a bad thing, it saves lives. But it can take lives too. Why not use weapons that work and are relatively harmless?

to a special Muslim children’s school, his awesome middle name (Hussein), and that his name rhymes with a bad guy’s. The rest of the media has informed us of Obama’s excellent speaking skills and that he is becoming more popular than our Democratic prom queen, Hillary Clinton.

I guess that satisfies the many people who receive their news via cover scanning entertainment magazines at the Kwiki-mart. God forbid the ignorant masses read “The Audacity of Hope,” look up his deeds on Wikipedia or better yet, read the damn newspaper on a daily basis!

And what about the black people? If slapping question marks on the “blackness” of Bryant Gumbel, Wayne Brady and Tiger Woods have worked in the past, why not try this on political threats to the conservative lifestyle? Never mind that the media is insulting the intelligence of not only blacks but society itself.

Will we have to look forward to such immaturity with our next black presidential hopefuls? Can any African-American win with such a handicap? Or will we simply have to reserve that title of “first Black President” to Bill Clinton?

Meanwhile, what should be done about Obama’s “blackness?” Should Obama need some sort of background rooted in the civil rights struggle for appeal? Or perhaps darker skin? Or maybe he should announce rapper 50 Cent as his campaign manager. No one is “blacker” than 50 Cent.

Clearly John McCain has the clearest shot at being our next president. He has a more unified vote among republicans, experience, was at odds with Bush on many issues (gaining ground with republican opposition) and is a war hero. Obama is still quite young, inexperienced with foreign affairs and still has democrat support split among Hillary Clinton fans and others. And to top it off, America has not rid itself of racism.

So what are these critics so afraid of? Perhaps many fear Obama is the inspirational figure who may wake the sleeping giant, the black vote.

Sure, many blacks vote, but a unified vote is a force to be reckoned with.

Either way, John McCain should reach out for the “black vote,” don a giant ‘fro and put some gold spinnas on his limo, just in case.

Is Obama ‘Black’ Enough?

By orion tippens

Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com

Is Barack Obama black enough for black voters?

That was the indirect question proposed in a recent Washington Post article titled “Obama’s Appeal to Blacks Remains an Open Question?” Since then, similar headlines have dominated my Google Alerts from small town papers and various blogs. The articles have explored Obama’s rising appeal to white voters and its potential to weaken the “black vote.” But don’t take my word for it, Ask Jeeves.

This is absurd. Sure it’s easy to stereotype a race with music, sports prowess and Ebonics, but politics?

I’m certain we would never hear such silliness out of an Asian, Latino or Jewish candidate. No, this is the Caucasian-dominated media making its own news with their own perceptions and making a fool out of its audience in the process.

At this time, what does the general public really know about Obama?

The Fox News Channel graciously informed us of his brief attendance

Providing insight, analysis and perspective since 1960

A Wild, Wacky World Actor claims self-defense after arrest Ryan O’ Neal is out on $50,000 bail after being charged with assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm after he fired a handgun at his 42-year-old son Griffin.

The two had clashed at O’Neal’s Malibu house Saturday evening, after the elder returned from celebrating former girlfriend Farrah Fawcett’s 60th birthday. The 65-year-old actor said that he fired his gun in self-defense after his son had allegedly swung a hot poker at him, which wound up hitting his pregnant girlfriend.

The father-son duo has appeared in numerous past police reports over the past 25 years.

Our take: And you thought your family was nuts?

The O’Neals have become the clichéd dysfunctional Hollywood family, complete with gunshots, alcoholism and pregnant women getting hit by wayward hot pokers.

In this case, it’s clear the apple doesn’t fall too far from the scumbag. Both father and son should be

ashamed by their carelessness, as they put their own families at risk with their temper tantrums.

The next time something like this happens, they ought to place a call Dr. Phil — and the S.W.A.T. team!

862 Years For Convicted Gang Rapist Fernado Maldonado, a man who kidnapped two women in 1991 and participated in a seven-hour gang rape on the victims, was sentenced Monday in Los Angeles to 862 years in prison.

Maldonado, who eluded authorities via escaping to Mexico for over a decade, was convicted Nov. 29 of 100 counts, including forcible gang rape, forcible oral copulation, forcible sodomy and kidnapping.

Our Take: Kudos to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy-Powell who ensured that justice was served. We believe that egregiously malicious sex crimes should be always punished severely — and we’re not opposed to castration for repeat offenders.

See ya in 2867 Nando!

Tran 6-3, 6-2. Jessica Weeks won in straight sets over CSUF’s Shelly Injejikian 6-1, 6-2.

On court five, Emmanuelle Tabatruong beat CSUF’s Brandy Andrews 6-2, 6-3. In the sixth and final court, Long Beach State’s Sanya Rocha defeated CSUF’s Jerusha Cruz 6-2, 6-2.

Reynolds said the Titans will need to take something away from this experience.

“Whether you win 6-0 or lose 0-6, you can always learn something from a match,” Reynolds said. “One thing they can learn from is shot selection; when to hit the ball hard, when to use depth, angles, and so on.”

The Titans started off the match with three losses in doubles play.

The team to win two of the three doubles matches earns a point, with every other point coming from singles matches.

CSUF’s Le and Tran lost to Grady and Weeks 3-8. CSUF’s Andrews and Injejikian were defeated by Bengson and Williams 4-8. CSUF’s Cruz and Domela fell in a close match to Rocha and Tabatruong 8-9.

Reynolds said the team will have to adjust for their upcoming match against Loyola Marymount University on Thursday.

“One thing we have got to work on is finishing off points,” Reynolds said. “We’re staying with opponents, but when we get [them] in a defensive position we are not taking advantage of it.”

Spectator Mark Denmore agreed with Reynolds’ assessment.

“Fullerton has talented athletes, they just aren’t executing when they have the position to,” Denmore said. “The Titans played a tough team though. They’ll do better next match.”

Fantasy Fix

LOOKING FOR ANSWERS

BY James Thompson

An Introduction to the Guru and Advice My big mouth landed me this column after proclaiming myself a “fantasy sports guru” with countless hours of lineup configurations. While waiting for the other editors to print out their sections, my executive editor came up with the bright idea of a fantasy column.

So here it is folks and I feel privileged to bring it to you.

Fantasy Basketball - in most leagues Al Harrington is listed as a F, PF, C, and since his trade to Golden State he’s been hotter than the devil’s Forman grill. If you can trade for him do so now!

Another gem is Mo Williams [Milwaukee]. His shoulder seems to be fully healed and in his first game back from injury he dropped 30 points and 10 dimes.

Scott Judd had his teammates on their feet after defeating Wyoming’s Dan Barrone 6-1.

Judd, who was replacing Murphy, did not indulge in his victory too much while saying, “We’re just looking forward to Pac-10s (Championships).”

Redd is still out with a left knee injury, which is good for Williams’ owners.

Fantasy Baseball - some quick sleepers for your baseball fix: Rich Hill [Chicago Cubs] had a great run in Triple-A and a decent showing in the majors last season.

Other fantasy experts are predicting over 200 Ks for Hill if he can stay healthy.

Mark Teahen [Kansas City Royals] was probably the best hitter on the squad before he got injured. He should improve on his .290 average along with his 60+ RBIs from last year.

Howie Kendrick [Los Angeles Angels] comes into the restaurant I work at looking as if he chews on Louisville Slugger bats after practice. He’ll have a break–out year.

Titan Wrestling Tries To Work Past Bumps on the Road Women’s Tennis Struggles in Loss

Despite ups and downs, CSUF continues to work hard to see some success

BY NOLAN ANDRE

Daily Titan Staff Writer sports@dailytitan.com

It has been a roller coaster season for the Cal State Fullerton wrestling team but with two dual matches left, they can finish with a winning record. A Friday night victory against Wyoming University gave the Titans a 6-7 record.

Expectations going into the season were mixed because of the amount of youth and the lack of experience on the team. Titan Head Coach Dan Hicks told the Daily Titan before the season started that the team had “a solid guy at every weight” and “last year we had a lot of holes.”

If CSUF was to have any success for the 2006-2007 season, they were going to have to get accustomed to sleeping in hotels and traveling on planes and buses.

After the Fullerton Open on Nov. 18th, the team traveled up and down the Pacific Coast of the United States and made two stops in Nevada.

CSUF had a 4-3 record after winning at Oregon on Jan. 12, but then lost four consecutive matches – all on the road. The team rebounded big last week, posting a 32-6 victory against Menlo College.

“We’ve had our ups and downs but we’ve stuck together … we’re a pretty strong and young team,” said T.J. Dillashaw, a 133-pound redshirt sophomore.

Despite inconsistencies as a team during the season, some have had individual success.

Morgan Atkinson, a redshirt junior, ranks 13th in the Today NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll (Jan. 30). The 149 pounder also ranks first in the Pac-10 conference. He was one of two Titans to qualify for the NCAA Championships last season.

Atkinson appeared to suffer the injury in the first period and was

The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team suffered their fifth straight defeat, losing 7-0 to rival Long Beach State.

Coming into the Friday match ranked No. 28 in the nation, Long Beach State was able to flex their muscle against the Titans, finishing the day without giving up a set in any of the six singles matches.

The closest any Titan came to winning a set was Gina Le’s first set against Hannah Grady on the No. 1 court. Down 2-5, Le was able to break Grady’s serve and fight back to a 5-6 score.

Grady outlasted Le, winning the set 7-5 and cruised through the next set 6-1. “[Gina] didn’t really have the fight there in the second set,” Titan Head Coach Bill Reynolds said.

Reynolds said Le, the Big West Conference Athlete of the Week in the opening week of the season, was distracted by the first–set loss.

“You can play a really close first set and easily get discouraged when you [don’t win that set],” Reynolds said.

On the other courts, CSUF’s Katrina Domela lost 3-6, 2-6 to Katy Williams. Stephanie Bengson of Long Beach State defeated Mai-Ly

Ian Murphy, a 184-pound junior, was ranked 12th by the Wrestling International Newsmagazine on Jan. 29.

The team received bad news, however, when Murphy was deemed ineligible in January.

Several other Titans are ranked in the Pac-10 conference including: Dillashaw (sixth in the 133–pound class), junior Bryan Tice (fourth in the 165–pound class) and redshirt

freshman John Drake (fifth in the 197–pound class).

Friendly confines were a welcome sight for the road–weary wrestlers.

“We’ve been traveling the last couple weeks in a row … it’s just nice to be at home and have a nice big crowd behind us,” Dillashaw said.

History in the Muddy Waters Buried in the mud at the bottom of Lake Elsinore lay the keys to the past By aleksandra wojtalewicz Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com

Matthew Kirby sees 10,000 years of Southern California climate history in a long segment of mud.

“It’s like pages of a history book,” said Kirby, assistant professor of geological sciences and paleoclimatologist.

In an effort to put things into context, Kirby began establishing a baseline of natural climate variability in 2002, when he set out to research Holocene climate variability using sediments from Lake Elsinore.

“By putting the history of water in the context of time we can better understand our current and future situation of water,” Kirby said. “The past is a key to the present.”

He said his research is “very socially relevant since water is a huge issue in Southern California.”

In 2003, with the help of Steven Lund, USC collaborator, Kirby spent five days at Lake Elsinore retrieving sediment samples from the bottom of the lake by drilling three 10-meter long piston corers. Each core sample represents 10,000 years.

He based his research on Lake Elsinore because it is the largest natural lake in Southern California. “It

should have the best and longest sediment history,” Kirby said.

With the aid of a $39,950 grant provided by the National Science Foundation for 2006-08, Kirby will be able to perform a high-resolution study of Lake Elsinore. This includes looking at chemical components and grain size.

Isotopes of oxygen in the mud will provide the amount of evaporation that took place, while carbon isotopes will reveal how much phytoplankton was present in the water at a given time. Grain size will reveal the lake levels throughout time.

Kirby will then reconstruct the history of Southern California in one-centimeter intervals that represent eight years for the past 10,000 years.

Through his research, Kirby said he has found that Southern California winters are getting warmer.

The second result he found was that throughout the past 10,000 years, amplitude of climate variability changed.

“Today we experience longer and larger droughts,” Kirby said.

Another finding was that “with population growth, we can experience drastic and severe climate change,” Kirby said. “California will get more rain with global warming, [which] isn’t necessarily good for Southern California due to mudslides.”

He said his research results will also “help water agencies get a sense of how much water needs to be con-

Walsh agreed with Maldoon’s statement and added that a discount, no matter how small, helps

students.

“Anything’s beneficial,” he said. “I don’t see why [it wouldn’t be]. I’d use it no matter what. 10 percent is still saving you money.”

Although the TitanCard does al-

low for discounts off campus, Maldoon notes that these discounts are not specific to nor sponsored by TitanCard, but are related to being students.

“TitanCard should not be thought

of so much as ‘What can I get a discount on using my card?’ but rather as a passport to campus services and activities,” she said.

Despite on-campus benefits, Walsh plans to use his to dine out.

The faculty did not receive an increase yet for 2006-2007 because their collective bargaining representatives would not accept the terms of their contract, according to Gordon.

G. Nanjundappa, president of CSUF’s California Faculty Association and a sociology professor, states that the contract proposed by the Chancellor’s Office does not factor in several mitigating factors and does not provide an equal raise.

“We’re fighting for a fair contract that includes an equitable increase in salary, factors in an increase in workload, and factors in SSI, GSI and a fair merit scheme,” he said.

SSI is Salary Step Increase, or money the state saves when a teacher retires at a higher salary and a replacement is hired at a much lower salary; GSI is General Salary Increase, or a cost of living increase, according to Nanjundappa. The state also proposed a merit scheme which would reward deserving faculty for their achievement, which Nanjundappa said he feels won’t reward all meritorious faculty members.

“I just don’t understand how the state can afford to keep giving raises to executives while our costs continue to rise,” said Bryan Falconer, 24, an advertising major. “If there are limited funds available to keep costs down, shouldn’t they be helping students instead of executives?”

“The legislature can buy out fees any year it wishes to,” Gordon said.

“Cost of operation rises every year, and if fees don’t rise every year as well, they will have to increase an-

other year,” he said.

“This is a public institution, this receives taxpayer money. We have to be prudent to make sure that money is used for teaching,” said Nanjundappa.

Gordon, like many of the top CSU executives, is paid over $250,000 a year and like some university presidents housing is provided for Gordon.

“New faculty can’t even afford a decent apartment,” Nanjundappa said.

But the real issue is the students, according to Nanjundappa. “All eligible students should have access to higher education in the CSU system, and funding should provide for it,” he said. The office and the board submit a budget each year that doesn’t meet the needs of the system, Nanjundappa said.

‘There’s a lot of money getting paid out every year to [executives], and if those numbers keep rising, what’s going to keep our student fees from rising?” Falconer asked.

Charles B. Reed, the CSU Chancellor, said at Wednesday’s meeting that these raises needed to happen to keep to a five-year plan to close the gaps in salary for CSU executives, faculty and staff relative to executives, faculty and staff at a similar institution, according to the Orange County Register.

“We understand the responsibilities of the president and top executives, but I don’t think it’s necessary to reward them to this extent,” Nanjundappa said. “I’m not saying they shouldn’t be rewarded but don’t reward exorbitantly.”

THE HUB

When it Comes to Clothes, Some Like it ‘Haute’ With the unveiling of the season’s new spring wear, tailored garb is tres chic Carla Boubes

Daily Titan Staff Writer maneditor@dailytitan.com

Models dressed in the finest French threads paraded the catwalks of Paris during the spring 2007 Fashion Week. While the menswear designers showcased their fall and winter collections, la creme de la creme of haute couture debuted theirs.

Haute couture, French for “high sewing,” dates back to the 18th century. Parisian seamstresses would custom make pieces according to the request of a specific client. Tailored with extreme precision and the highest-quality fabric available, seamstresses in Paris were considered among the best in all of Europe. To-

day the same technique is practiced in some top fashion houses.

With each season, the French fashion house Chanel continues to perfect the art of haute couture. Designer Karl Lagerfeld definitely outdid himself this season. His attention to detail was apparent throughout the entire collection with his use of feathers and tulle. The black-andwhite mini coatdresses, revealing lots of black-clad legs, and the cinched waists gave the illusion of a delicate silhouette.

The designer Jean Paul Gaultier amazes his audience every season with his over-the-top shows. With tears of blood drawn on the faces of halo-crowned models, it was quite obvious that Gaultier drew heavily from the Catholic world for his collection. Gaultier offered a variety of looks. From understated dresses to theatrical gowns, the construction of each piece was flawless.

“

ways. One, of course it’s for the client who comes and actually will place an order based on what they’ve seen at the fashion shows,” said Victoria Corless, professor of fashion merchandising at Cal Poly Pomona.

“And it also works simply to raise brand awareness with the fashion media. You have to have a fashion show to promote your line.”

Lebanese designer Elie Saab is somewhat of a newcomer to the world of haute couture. The recent events in Lebanon served as inspiration to his couture collection. The beautiful metallic gowns that strolled down the runway reflected “the colors of dawn over Beirut.”

Actresses often drop Saab’s name on the red carpet when asked, “Who are you wearing?” His sparkling evening gowns have drawn the likes of Beyonce, Sheryl Crow and Halle Berry and will surely cause a sensation this award season.

It’s no coincidence couture fash-

ion week takes place prior to the biggest night in Hollywood.

“A lot of the designers like Christian Dior, Elie Saab, Valentino are designers who design evening gowns,” Corless said. “This is the show that comes right before the Academy Awards, so a lot of actresses are looking, ‘What am I going to wear?’”

Couture isn’t just for the famous.

Many wealthy women involved in charity events and high social gatherings wear the custom-made pieces.

The Collectors and Couture department at Nordstrom in Brea offers some impressive names to its special clients. Couture specialist Jeffery Villa has dressed many women over the past four years in Christian LaCroix, Valentino and Oscar de La Renta, to name a few.

“It is the only real line of clothing that you know is hand-created and specific to you,” Villa said. “It’s pretty much a one-of-a-kind piece.”

According to Villa, the average

price for a couture gown available at Nordstrom ranges from $11,000 to about $13,000. The price includes the costs of alterations, which can amount to $400.

“Couture gowns are a very time consuming process,” Villa said.

The gown is disassembled and later pieced back together to fit the client perfectly.

“The alterations are done by master tailors hired by Nordstrom,” Villa said. “They’re trained beyond anything we’ve seen.”

Villa said one tailor has been training for 14 years and just now believes she earns the title “master tailor.”

While the practice of haute couture is exclusive to the French, many designers from other fashion capitals who adhere to the criteria call their work as couture. The Italian designer Valentino, for example, has been showing couture for decades now.

American couture, which bor-

rowed the technique from the French, is quickly evolving into something of its own. Junior Designer for St. John Couture Dustin Trust said he believes American couture is more about “sport culture,”-clothing that is wearable.

“Americans are a buy-now wearnow society and want to be able to wear luxury clothes but still look sophisticated and expensive,” Trust said.

The term haute couture has been misused over the years by ready-towear labels. Couturiers fear their art will get lost among the mix of “pret-a-porter” collections and lose its value.

“There is a difference between true couture construction and high-end fashion and people confuse the two a lot,” said Corless. “True couture is when it’s made for an individual.

And really high-end fashion can be anything that’s expensive and nice, basically.”

Department Stores Host Classy Clothes from Renowned Names

By Jazmine Graza Daily Titan Staff Writer maneditor@dailytitan.com

Like Greek gods descend from heaven to earth, selective designers of the high-fashion world have made moves in recent years to produce lines affordable to the masses. The response? Only praises.

This not-so-mythical myth began in 2004 when German designer Karl Lagerfeld did a line for H&M, a Swedish corporation that targets the fashionable-yet-thrifty masses.

Named by Vogue.com as “one of the most celebrated designers this century has ever seen,” Lagerfeld was much like Prometheus bringing fire to feeble humans.

With his own well-known brand and names such as Chanel, Chloe and Fendi on his resume, Lagerfeld’s decision to work with the low-brand H&M was unorthodox at the time.

Later his bold move would prove to be groundbreaking as designer Stella McCartney followed in 2005 by designing with H&M. In 2006 Target Corporation collaborated with New York designer Isaac Mizrahi, expanding the line of products he had already designed for them.

Although Target had carried semidesigner-brand Mossimo before, Mizrahi’s line for Target in 2006 caught the attention of young fashion-conscious women in America.

The line’s highlights were elegantbut-simple party dresses for the holidays and warm coats designed with vintage influence.

Sporting a golden-mustard tweed pea coat by Hopscotch of London, 21-year-old Target shopper Tara Riesner said, “Mizrahi’s line was definitely not your normal Target brand. I liked it because it was vintage looking and I like vintage, but most times vintage fits too big or it is uncomfortable. Mizrahi made the vintage look fitting, comfortable and affordable for me.”

With Mizrahi’s success, Target

decided to campaign “Go: International” with Iranian-born designer Behnaz Sarafpour. Sarafpour’s line with Target featured animal-print faux fur coats and gorgeous strapless satin dresses that surprised bargainsavvy consumers.

Fold-out advertisements of Sarafpour’s Target line were practically camouflaged within the ad pages of DKNY and Cavalli in the December 2006 issue of Vogue magazine.

18-year-old Target employee and Cal State Fullerton student Estela Villegas said that Sarafpour came out with a purple tube-top dress with black lace around the waist and a black strapless dress with a white bow in the front.

According to Villegas, Target in Placentia only carried a couple of each and they went quick.

As these designers bring class to the mass, they inevitably attract frenzy for bargain shopping.

Many bitter bloggers critized H&M for Stella McCartney’s line because, although it was affordable, it was practically unattainable. Like Lagerfeld’s line, McCartney’s line was small and demand was high.

McCartney only did one line for one season and it sold out within days in America.

Many fashion journalists are calling this bargain frenzy “fast fashion,” indicating that people buy cheap clothing, perhaps sacrificing quality, in order to substitute quantity as well as to keep up with the everchanging styles.

Dressed in skinny black jeans and a black-and-gold oriental-style top, 22-year-old Target shopper Christian Ortiz said she believes in quality.

“I do come to Target for the affordable fashion but I believe the quality here is as good as or better than any where else. I think the quality here is even better than some more expensive stores like Hollister,” Ortiz said. “I still own some clothing I bought here a long time ago, and I still wear it, I reinvent it.”

themselves,” said Gina Lazzari, recreations coordinator. “We have the written rules which we use only in disputes.”

Every 15 minutes the blinds and bet limits increased to ensure that the games did not continue throughout the night.

As the tournaments progress throughout the semester each returning player will acquire points.

The winners of the seven tournaments as well as nine non-winners with the most points will compete in the tournament of champions held in Fresno, Calif.

The Cinderella story of the first tournament was the success of one of the two women players, business major Jenny Lee Tran. As a first time player, Tran managed to play her way to the final table against seven men.

“I was so excited and antsy

throughout the game,” Tran said.

Playing for more than three-anda-half hours with only two 10-minute breaks, the players seemed eager to keep playing.

Finishing in fourth place, Tran cheered on 21-year-old communications major Larry Gomez, who went on to win the tournament.

“Coming in I was a little confident,” said Gomez. “I knew I wasn’t going to be the first to leave.”

The remaining six tournaments will be every other Thursday in the Underground. The tournaments are open to all enrolled CSUF students.

Sign-ups begin at 7 a.m. on the day of each tournament and players must be present at 4 p.m. to hold a seat. Spots are on a first come, first serve basis and the winner will not receive any money.

STRANGER THAN

FICTION

LOS ANGELES (AP) A man dressed as Chewbacca was arrested after police said the street performer head-butted a tour guide operator in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Frederick Evan Young, 44, of Los Angeles was booked Thursday for investigation of misdemeanor battery, police Lt. Paul Vernon said.

Police said the 6-foot-4 street performer was seen arguing Thursday afternoon with a tour guide who had expressed concern the Star Wars wookie impersonator was “harassing and touching tourists” in violation of city law.

Security guards escorted Young off theater property, but he decided to strike back and head-butted the tour guide, Vernon said.

“The lesson here is you can have the force with you,” Vernon said.

“You just can’t use illegal force.”

“He said, ‘Nobody tells this wookie what to do,’” Sapir said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Professional competitive eater Joey Chestnut devoured a record 182 chicken wings to win his second consecutive Wing Bowl, a gut-busting annual event that draws thousands of revelers to the city’s sports complex in the pre-dawn hours.

Chestnut, surrounded by buxom “Wingettes,” had a crown adorned with tiny rubber chickens placed atop his head Friday as his winning total was announced. He also won a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara for outeating his competitors _ including a pair of pros who also advanced to the finals.

“I love to eat,” said Chestnut, 23, of San Jose, Calif. “Today I was swallowing wings, swallowing bones, whatever it took.”

This year’s event pitted 15 locals against five professionals. The top local finisher was “Gentleman Jerry” Coughlan, who finished fourth with 167 wings.
