Richard III Slays CSUF Audiences Shakespearean masterpiece debuted at Young Theatre March 2 By CAITLYN COLLINS
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
After two months of rehearsals, the production of Richard III has finally arrived. The Shakespearean history play opened on Friday at 8 p.m. in Young Theatre. It chronicles the War of Roses, a conflict between the Houses of York and Lancaster over control of England. Richard III, played by Aaron Gaines, is an aspiring dictator who hungers for power and is willing to do anything to get it. He climbs the ladder to the crown of England over the bodies of family members, the royal court and his own wife. The hardest part about playing Richard is “trying to live up to the work of amazing performers such as Olivier, Sher and McKellen,” said Gaines, a Theatre Arts major with an acting emphasis, in an e-mail interview. “Also, trying to tackle such an enormous role with only a few weeks of rehearsal” has proved difficult. “My favorite part is getting to

ECS Fair Offers Opportunities
Festival Sings Success
Cal State Fullerton’s College of the Arts held the 6th Annual Women in New Music Festival at CSUF’s Performing Arts Center. This year’s festival was a celebration of women’s contribution in new music. It brought together artists from around the world in a four-day gathering of performers, composers and scholars. “This years festival featured works by women composers as well as works of new music that women perform: Electronic music, acoustic music, chamber music, music from orchestras and voices,” Pamela Madsen, artistic director of the event said. Madsen is an associate professor of Composition, Music Theory and Music Technology at CSUF. Her work focuses on the influence of technology on compositional thought, form and on the feminine voice. Madsen said that this year’s theme, “inner voices,” was brought about from the careful listening in her travels last year, and hearing women composers focusing on their inner dialogues, reflections on life, sound and images–all brought to fruition

INNER VOICES - Director Kimo Furumoto leads the University Smphony Orchestra, the St. Petersburg String Quartet and CSUF University Singers with guest composer Tanya León at the Sixth Annual Women in New Music Festival through their music. The festival was held March 1 through the 4th. Every concert over the weekend was preceded by a lecture, which introduced the performers and the type of music and messages they were trying to convey. 21st century technology was a staple of the performances over the weekend. Technology’s influence on the type of music being played was prevalent for most of the weekend. Performers made use of laptop computers, reverb pedals and synthesizers while playing such instruments as flutes, trombones and violins. The blending of new technology with classical instruments offered the audience a unique experience. “It was peculiar, and kind of scary. It was definitely something I never heard [before],” said freshman Tiffany Johnson, 18. Featured at the festival were such artists as Meredith Monk, a pioneer of extended vocal technique who combines her music with images to immerse the audience in a full sensory viewing; Zeitgest, a contem-
porary chamber ensemble; Cuban Composer Tania Leon, as well as the International Alliance for Women in Music’s annual concert, which took place Thursday night. Jane Rigler made use of her own creation, a flute that had buttons and a wire connected to a laptop so she could add highlights of sound to accompany her flute solo. “I love the thrill of the music, and I love to tell my audience my story through the music … I’m telling them what’s on my mind, what’s in the music, what’s in my heart,” Lisa Cella, a flute player and a member of IAWM, said. This year’s festival had a great public turnout, with even pre-concert lectures seats getting filled. Madsen is already thinking about next year’s festival. “Next year we will bring in a group called ‘Bang on a Can’ … The theme will be ‘Music on the Edge,’ and instead of one big festival there will be three mini festivals, with a focus on women in March,” Madsen said.

About 20 former students, colleagues and current faculty members gathered to say farewell to Raymond V. Adams on Friday. Adams died after having suffered from a long illness on Feb. 2. The memorial service that was held in room 606 of McCarthy Hall was the same laboratory where Adams had taught his experimental physics classes during his tenure at Cal State Fullerton. The memorial began at approximately 3 p.m. Adams, who started ADAMS as a professor of physics in 1960 at CSUF, then known as Orange State College, served as the first chair of the department. “He was very dedicated to physics,” said Fred Austin, a former student of Adams who graduated in 1972. Roger Dittman, professor emeritus of physics at CSUF, said Adams had a philosophy when it came to teaching physics. Adams set a policy that all upper-division students had to take 12 units of experimental physics classes, which Dittman said has now been reduced to three, the national norm. “[Adams] emphasized teaching techniques in areas that could be applied in other fields,” Dittman said. According to Mark Shapiro, professor emeritus of physics, Adams was one of the principle architects of the constitution of the Academic Senate, which created what is known as the “Fullerton Way.” Shapiro described the “Fullerton Way” as faculty being part of the process of governing the school. According to Shapiro, Adams vision extended past the senate. “Adams had a vision as to what a student of physics should be,” Shapiro said. In 1947, the U.S. Army Air Corps hired Adams as a graduate student from Cal Tech to design a rocket that could be launched from airplanes. Adams also worked with Carl D. Anderson of Cal Tech on an academic paper “On the Mass and the Disintegration Products of Mesotron.” Anderson later won the Nobel Prize for discovering the positron. As chair of the Physics Department, he oversaw the buying of the equipment for the department in 1963. Dittman said that when McCarthy Hall was built in 1963, the building did not have any equipment. With a budget of $125,000, Adams was able to buy all of the equipment for the laboratories of the Physics Department, which occupies the sixth floor of McCarthy Hall. Adams was 86 when he died. He leaves behind no surviving family members.

NATIONAL NEWS WASHINGTON (AP)- About a 155,000 Ford pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles were recalled on Monday due to faulty cruise control switch systems that could corrode, overheat and ignite. In the last two years, Ford Motor Co. recalled 5.8 million vehicles because the cruise control systems caused engine fires in models made between 1994 and 2002. This year the recall included 2003 versions of the F-150, F250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty truck, the Ford Excursion SUV and the Lincoln Blackwood pickup truck. Next week, owners of the 2003 trucks and SUVs will get notices in the mail and can have the repairs made for free by their Ford dealers.
STATE NEWS MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP)- While four top executives for Google Inc. will each receive $200,000 in raises, the three billionaires who run the search engine will settle for a $1 salary again. This is the third year in a row that Chief Executive Eric Schmidt and co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin capped their earnings at $1. They can afford this cut because they’ve gotten rich off their huge stakes in Google. With more money to be poured into the search engine, Page and Brin are already worth almost $14 billion each, while Schmidt is at $5 billion. While the three of them didn’t receive bonuses this year, four other executives did, and got similar raises as well.

LESBIAN LOVE TRIANGLE SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Jury selection started Monday for the trial of a deaf woman accused of kidnapping, killing and dismembering another deaf woman, South Dakota’s first capital punishment case with a female defendant. If Daphne Wright, 43, is convicted, jurors will be asked to sentence her to death by lethal injection for the slaying of Darlene VanderGiesen, 42. Wright was arrested 10 days later after a search of the basement of her Sioux Falls house yielded bone fragments and tissue that matched DNA samples from VanderGiesen’s toothbrush, according to court papers and testimony. Parts of VanderGiesen’s dismembered body were later found in the Sioux Falls landfill and in a ditch near Beaver Creek, Minn. In a videotaped police interview shown at an earlier hearing, Wright said she and Vander-
Giesen had fought weeks earlier because Wright, a lesbian, suspected VanderGiesen of trying to break up Wright’s relationship with another woman. An autopsy determined that VanderGiesen was killed by either suffocation or a blow to the head. If she is sentenced to death, Wright could be the first woman to be executed in South Dakota. Four men are currently on death row. South Dakota has not had an execution in 60 years. Wright’s lawyers have argued that although she is intelligent, executing her would amount to cruel and unusual punishment because her communication skills and control over her environment are limited by her deafness. Circuit Judge Brad Zell said that was not supported by any state or federal law or court case. He said he found three cases in which the death penalty was imposed on a deaf person.
THE ARYAN BROTHERHOOD HAS NEW LOCAL TIES By Gillian Flaccus Associated Press
BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) - The white supremacist gang Public Enemy No. 1 began two decades ago as a group of teenage punk-rock fans from upper-middle class bedroom communities in Southern California. Now, the violent gang that deals in drugs, guns and identity theft is gaining clout across the West after forging an alliance with the notorious Aryan Brotherhood, authorities say. Police say the gang has compiled a “hit list” targeting five officers and a gang prosecutor a sign of just how brazen Public Enemy has become. “They make police officers very,
very nervous,” said Cpl. Nate Booth, a gang detective with the Buena Park Police Department in Orange County. Law enforcement officials trace the gang’s rise to shifts in the power structure inside prisons. The Aryan Brotherhood has long been the dominant white supremacist gang behind bars, with the Nazi Low Riders acting as its foot soldiers on the outside for drug dealing and identity theft. In 2000, officials reclassified the Low Riders as a prison-based gang and began sending its members to solitary confinement as soon as they were imprisoned. The crackdown hurt the gang’s ability to interact with the Aryan Brotherhood, which turned to Pub-

lic Enemy, authorities say. The alliance was cemented in 2005 when Donald Reed “Popeye” Mazza, an alleged leader of Public Enemy, was inducted into the Aryan Brotherhood. The pact has increased Public Enemy’s wealth and recruiting power, said Steve Slaten, a special agent for the California Department of Corrections. In the past three years, its ranks have doubled to at least 400, but authorities suspect there could be hundreds of other members operating under the radar. They said heavy recruiting is taking place throughout California and Arizona, and members have been picked up by police in Nevada and Idaho. “They move around. We find
them everywhere,” said Lowell Smith of the Orange County Probation Department. The gang traces its roots to the punk rock subculture in Long Beach in the 1980s. It soon shifted its base to nearby Orange County and in the 1990s began recruiting what police call “bored latchkey kids” white teenagers from upper-middle class neighborhoods. Public Enemy is now involved in identity theft. Booth said the gang has gone from swiping personal information from mailboxes and trash to stealing entire credit profiles with the help of girlfriends and wives who take jobs at banks, mortgage companies and even state motor vehicle departments; profits are poured into the drug trade.

speak the language,” he said. “Also, being wicked is quite fun.” “Aaron Gaines played [Richard] extremely well, especially his switch from inner monologue to talking to other characters,” said AJ Harbison, 21, a music composition major who attended the performance on Saturday night. Gaines is an extraordinary actor, according to director Joe Arnold. It is an enormous role for anyone to do, said Arnold, but as a graduating senior, Gaines played it particularly well. However, Arnold is also pleased with the cast’s performance as a whole. “The way I tend to direct, I really try to create an ensemble. I think they really achieved that,” Arnold said. Gaines said the cast worked wonderfully together, however he joked about the fact that his character had to kill the majority of the cast off. “Our cast is very tight-knit, we have a great time together,” said Kirsten Kuiken, a first-year graduate actor, in an e-mail interview. “Everybody felt very good about the performance as a whole. We have so many extremely talented actors in this show, both creative as well as professional.” As Queen Elizabeth, Kuiken played a woman who lost her husband, two brothers, two sons and brother-in-law at the hands of Richard. “All of the women’s roles in Richard III are amazing,” Kuiken said. “This has been a great challenge, trying to capture [Elizabeth’s] forcefulness as well as vulnerability. These women are fierce [and] extraordinary in their survival.” According to Harbison, the lighting and stage set-up helped to create a more realistic ambience. “The music was an excellent choice,” Harbison said. “It was an ironic choice on the part of the director seeing as Richard betrays his brothers.” The chosen piece was “Fratres” by

Arvo Pärt that translates in English to “Brothers.” The smallness and intimacy of Young Theatre created the illusion that the audience was part of the play as an onlooker. The costuming, that represented the late 1950s, also contributed to the authentic look. “What you look at first is, ‘What is the world we’re entering in this play?’ ” Arnold said. “It is a very uninviting world, a very dangerous world, so you look at settings that really epitomize that.” Arnold finally settled on the era from the early to mid-1950s which chronicles the end of Stalin and McCarthyism when “a lot of stuff was up for grabs” in the beginning of the cold war. The tendency is “to look for some sort of emotional echo of the world itself,” Arnold said. The play has become more popular in the 20th century where people are more familiar with current dictators and global upheaval, Arnold said. It is interesting to watch Shakespeare’s play and meditate on the concept of power. Underlying themes of political upheaval, despotism and power hunger are apparent throughout the production, and the audience is drawn deeper into Richard’s twisted desire for control with each new scene. The final show is on March 18 at 2 p.m
The renewed interest in the proposal of a “.xxx” top-level domain (TLD), created specifically for sexually explicit content, has once again sparked a controversial debate between the adult entertainment industry, domain distributor ICM Registry and conservative groups. The adult entertainment industry (through their professional organization Free Speech Coalition) issued a press release last Tuesday petitioning for help in opposing the proposal set by Stuart Lawley, head of ICM. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved the TLD in June 2005, but in May 2006 voted against their contract with ICM, according to a CSNews.com article. Earlier this year, revisions were made to the proposal between ICM and ICANN. This time around, stronger policing, labeling and prohibiting against child pornography will be enforced. Despite these and other revisions, the debate still rages between advocates and opponents of
the domain. “I argued for that in my dissertation, that there should be a ‘.xxx’ domain,” said Genelle Belmas, professor of communications law.“The side that does not like pornography argues that if you give it its own domain, you’re legitimizing the porn. And the pornographers don’t like it because they say it ‘ghettoizes’ the porn.” According to a letter to the coalition’s supporters by executive director of FSC, Diane Duke, what the adult industry refers to as “ghettoizing,” is “making adult entertainment an easy target for anti-industry extremists and government intrusion.” Among other concerns addressed in the letter, the industry is worried about the cost of this possibility, since ICM plans to charge registrants $60 per URL per year, an added expense. Also, if the domain is approved, it might be made “mandatory and subject to trans-Internet filtering that could effectively eliminate much of the adult content currently available on the Web.” What this means to the adult industry is an attack on their first amendment rights to free speech. “[The pornography industry] is on the forefront of defense of first amendment encroachment,” Belmas said. ICM only sees benefits to the new TLD, though. Not only will
the adult industry’s revenue benefit by applying Best Business Practices, but most importantly, family online safety (protecting children) will substantially increase. In contrast to the “.xxx” TLD, a “.kids” domain has also been proposed. So instead of grouping together all sexually explicit sites to the “.xxx” domain, there would be a kids domain where all sites would be filtered towards the interest of children and young teenagers. Dr. Spiros Courellis, assistant professor of computer science, identifies with this. “To have a ‘.kids’ domain as a parent—I have four kids— I should be able to say that I can block everything else ‘cause my 14-year-old doesn’t need to go shopping online [or be exposed to sex-related sites]. Direct it towards kids, there will be positive momentum.” Under a constitutional legal theory called “zoning,” it is permitted to zone adult bookstores and adult content together, like in a red light district. It is also permitted to zone it away from schools and parks. Belmas says that “in a sense, having another domain like this is just a virtual zone instead of a real physical zone.” “One of the things the government is always hyper about is protecting children,” she said. “And if indeed they intend to protect children, maybe making a kids-only do-
main, would be the way to do it.” Instead of steering kids away from adult content, Belmas said, steer them towards content that’s appropriate for them. She believes that might be the best way to handle the situation. Oscar Padilla, a 23-year-old Web programmer for Chino-based The Logo Network, is familiar with Internet filtering and online safety protection. “By having a ‘.xxx’ that’s sponsored, there are regulations that must be abided by. The argument is saying that you’re going to have more filtering so that kids don’t have access to porn as easy.” He also said that the “.xxx” TLD will require credit card authorization (which kids will not have) to prove the legality of a person’s age. As far as Internet-related issues are concerned, the Internet will not be negatively affected by the proposed “.xxx” TLD. “It’s not going to affect Internet traffic. The only thing it would affect is search engines,” Padilla said. “By having a switch to ‘.xxx,’ you know completely how you’re going to be filtering your searches. You [search] sex and everything’s forced to go to ‘.xxx.’ You’re going to have strictly adult content, as opposed to if you do ‘sex.com’ [you might find] medical or educational stuff] as well.”

Martinez also attended the Alumni Mentor Luncheon on Monday, also part of ECS week. For him, the chance to meet and greet with previous alumni was an experience not to be forgotten. “I had the chance to talk and learn from those who were once in my position,” Martinez said. “I talked to one gentleman who gave me great advice and I learned from his
experiences he shared with me.” Martinez realizes how important ECS week is to students. “I’m just thankful that the College of Engineering and Computer Science has an event like the career fair,” Martinez said. “Not a lot of colleges host their own career fair and chances like this do not come around very often.” Gretchen Ratliff, an Air Pollu-
tion Specialist for the Air Resources Board, is currently in CSUF’s Master’s program for Public Health. Ratliff was recruiting at the career fair. “This benefits the employers as well, because we want to hire the best students,” Ratliff said. “I am here because I know there are students who have the knowledge to work for my company.”

Student organizations and clubs can help build networks and friendships By Caitlin Clift
Daily Titan Staff Writer maneditor@dailytitan.com
For a student looking for friends who share common interests, a student organization or club can be a great way to have fun and network both socially and professionally. From religious organizations to sports clubs, there really is something for almost everyone on campus. And in the case that there is not an organization that meets students’ needs, students are encouraged to start their own club. Associate Dean of Student Life Esiquio R.Uballe said that, by joining one of the more than 250 organizations and clubs on campus, students are given a valuable learning experience. “We like to encourage our students to be interested in at least one cocurricular experience outside the classroom because we feel it really contributes to the development of the students’ learning and it enhances their learning. If there’s not an organization that they’re interested in, they can certainly create one that they’re interested in,” Uballe said. Students interested in forming their own organizations and receiving Cal State Fullerton’s recognition of the organization must follow a series of steps outlined in the student handbook and resource guide for student clubs and organizations. Uballe said while there are no requirements as to the nature of the organization that a student can form, organizations must apply for recognition by the annual deadline. If an organization misses the deadline it may receive temporary recognition from the Dean of Students Office. In addition to the application for
recognition, an organization must have at least five members, including a president and a treasurer, currently enrolled at CSUF. Uballe said the organization must have at least five members to ensure that the organization is benefiting a number of students on campus. While the Dean of Students Office will assist students in promoting itself, there are many other ways to encourage participation including Discoverfest and fliers posted on campus. Some organizations are using the Web site MySpace to promote themselves as well. An organization must have a faculty or staff member adviser who works at least half-time at CSUF to assist members. Uballe said one of the challenges that students face in forming an organization is finding an adviser. For this reason, Uballe will serve as an interim adviser for a semester until students find a permanent adviser. Economics major and Sports Club Inter-Club Council Chair Alex Nieto, 23, formed a water polo club after seeing a need for representation of aquatic sport at CSUF. “To start a sports club all it takes is the will and the want for there to be a club in that particular sport, not only within yourself, but also within the whole campus. You’ve got to go ahead and find enough athletes to at least field a team. That isn’t a very easy job. That was the gamble I took with water polo,” Nieto said. Nieto said word of mouth is one of the best ways to encourage club membership. He said hosting mixers and other social events is also a good way to increase membership. “It’s definitely an application of everything I’ve learned in the classroom, yet I feel I’ve learned more outside the classroom with these clubs than anything else. It’s definitely an experience that is more transparent than any paper I’ll ever write,” Nieto said. Criminal justice and philosophy
major Tamara Nguyen, 23, is the chair for the Council of Honors Societies and a member of Alpha Phi Sigma Criminal Justice Honor Society. She said that she became involved with a student organization after a professor told her about Alpha Phi Sigma. “It’s more enriching than, say, if you were to come to school and that’s it. You meet a lot of new people who are into the same kind of stuff. I personally think that if students knew more about organizations, not just honors societies, but also the other groups on campus, I think they would be inclined to join. I think they just don’t really know about it or are intimidated of asking about it,” Nguyen said. In addition to making friends, improving resumes, and having fun, organizations give students the opportunity to learn more about themselves. The Resident Student Association president and co-director of Camp Titan, Kyle Rush, 21, said being a part of organizations has made him a better person. “If you’re involved on campus, a benefit is just feeling better about what you’re doing. Because you’re not just only going to class any more, but you’re participating in the overall college experience,” Rush said. “You can feel better about yourself, especially with Camp Titan because you volunteer.

It’s a vibrant, very active campus life.”

Church, Cult or Business – the Various Faces of Scientology The religion, popular in Hollywood, has been cast in many different lights By Shaelan Bowers
Daily Titan Staff Writer maneditor@dailytitan.com
The Church of Scientology has been in the spotlight as of late for many reasons. John Travolta asserted last week that Anna Nicole Smith could have been saved if she had only joined the religion’s drug and alocohol dependency program. Earlier, high-ranking Scientology officials declared that Tom Cruise is now the “Christ” of Scientology. English newspaper “The Sun” recently reported Cruise’s ascension to the highest ranks of the church. Scientology leader David Miscavige even said, “Like Christ, [Cruise]’s been criticized for his views. But future generations will realize he was right.” And Cruise has been working hard to live up to expectations by attempting to recruit Jennifer Lopez and both David and Victoria Beckham into the church. But Tom Cruise becoming Tom “The Chosen One” Cruise is only the exclamation point on what has been a long and strange road for the church as of late. Many people had not heard much about Scientology until recently. Well-publicized events, like Tom Cruise’s appearances on Oprah and Today where he both pumped up and defended his religion, not to mention both Cruise’s and the church’s crusade against psychiatry and psychiatric drugs, have brought the church into the spotlight. Cruise also criticized actress Brooke Shields and her use of antidepressants for postpartum depression. Other high-ranking members of the Church also made appearances on many TV news magazines including Anderson Cooper 360. Soon after came the infamous episode of South Park that systematically revealed the secret ideology of Scientology and its followers while poking fun at the organization’s litigious practices. Other primetime shows have also worked Scientology into their story lines in both direct ways and in casual references. For instance, this past season Nip/Tuck did a storyline

Last week a British mother was awarded custody of her son after authorities placed him in the care of social workers. I bet she’s happy. Now she can continue to foster her son’s dangerous eating habits, making her 8-yearold child’s 218-pound body even heavier than it already is. If this were my country, there is no way in hell I’d hand over that child back to his mother. Before you start judging me and telling me that childhood obesity can sometimes be the product of genetic conditions, let’s look at her case. According to British newspaper The Journal, this mother, Nicola McKeown, gave permission to a local television station to have her son, Connor McCreaddie, followed and filmed for some time. The show captured some great mother-son moments: McKeown defends her son by saying, “He was born hungry.” Then the show focuses on McCreaddie who says, “Bacon. Mmmm. That’s my favorite … chicken … steak … sausage.” While she seems to brush aside the fact that her son weighs four times that of the average 8-yearold, he chomps on greasy meats … each piece lodging itself snugly to one of his belly rolls. I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure this child will die young if he keeps shoveling gobs of bacon into his mouth. What this woman is doing is child abuse. It is not fair for the child, nor would it be fair to any other child, especially when childhood obesity figures keep growing. According ti data compiled by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Preven-
tion, the number of overweight children ages 6-11 more than doubled within the last 20 years. The numbers get worse. For adolescents between 12 and 19 years of age, the figures have tripled. And we’ve all seen the commercials confirming the childhood obesity boom: “Mom, can I have some fat?” “Some processed junk food?” “A shorter life?” These commercials target the parents because it is the parents who have the ability to control what their children eat. Now if an 8-year-old is already over 200 pounds, who should we blame?
That’s right, the parents. Children are especially susceptible to overeating because a lot of times parents may give their screaming child an Oreo to calm him down. Now, all the child has to do is cry again to get another. And another and another. Stuffing a child until he can no longer walk is a form of child abuse. Not only does childhood obesity carry long-term physical health problems, but it endangers the child’s psychological health as well. According to British reports about McCreaddie, his weight is a laughing matter to classmates. No doubt this teasing causes emotional stress.
Just like with any other form of abuse, obese children should be removed from the custody of the parents and into that of a care-provider who can monitor the child’s weight and nutritional intake in an effort to bring him down to a healthier level. Sometimes I hear parents say that giving their child bucket-loads of food is how they show their love. But what ever happened to hugs and kisses? Or piggy-back rides and an afternoon at the park? Whether disguised by “love” or some other excuse, some parents just need to learn that the extra serving of french fries every day is slowly killing the ones they “care” about most.

Half a world away, rampant speculation of Prince Harry, son of Prince Charles and third in line to the throne of England, potentially joining Britain’s regimented ranks has exploded into national debate among the different departments in the British government. It has been 25 years since the last member of the British royal family actively engaged in war according to the BBC News.

Prince Harry a Loyal Leader if Deployed to Iraq and maneuver their way out of accountability. Prince Harry’s deployment won’t change government policy in the coming month but it is a bold gesture and is a strong symbolic show of government standing on the frontlines with its troops. With the war in Iraq clouded by ambiguity the anti-war movement has reached a feverish pitch and Britain is now engaged in a phased withdrawal. The royal family has lost most of its power and any it does hold now in the British government is largely ceremonial. But Prince Harry’s call to join British troops is not a photo op. It’s a decision that will result in life, death—or something possibly worse.
Stem Cell Research is only Hope for the Future by Cindy C. Cafferty
Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com
After nearly three years of litigation, a state appeals court upheld the constitutionality of California’s $3 billion stem cell research agency last month. Abortion foes and anti-tax advocates rallied against proposition 71, which enabled funding in the form of bonds for stem cell research, prior to the initiative’s 2004 passing and have been fighting against the people’s voice since. Thankfully, the 1st District Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s decision ruling in favor of the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, created by prop. 71. However, this doesn’t mean it’s over. Other groups including the Advocates of Faith and Freedom are talking about going all the way to the Supreme Court. Which, given two new conservative appointees and Justice Scalia’s seemingly increasing prestige and oh-so-right-wing nature, could prove disastrous for the initiative. But why would a conservative Supreme Court Matter? The actual
constitutionality of the measure was barely in question and has been deemed solid. The voters decided on it. Aren’t we a democracy? Don’t we have a say? This is America, baby! In America we don’t just have voters and the Constitution, we have lobbyists, interest groups and more importantly—lawyers—lots and lots of lawyers. In the end, of course the constitution still prevails, theoretically speaking, and if you still believe this is a democracy and you actually have a say, well I guess the voters will too. But, this lengthy litigation has nothing to do with the Constitution or what the people want. It has to do with what the religious right and stingy anti –tax advocates want. And in case you haven’t been paying attention, those guys are well on their way to getting what they want. But I digress. Back to the stem cell research, because that’s the issue isn’t it? Now, often times I vacillate on whether California should even be an initiative state. After sitting through jury duty and having a re-
ally good look at the general population, I wonder if these are the people I want directly deciding the issues. But I can be a bit of a snob, and this time the voters did the right thing, so I’m currently leaning towards direct democracy. After watching our current administration’s fatal follies the last few years, the initiative process is actually starting to look pretty good, and in stem cell research it looks great! There is no way—not even on a cold day in Hell—that the Bush administration would grant even a quarter of the money allocated under prop 71. And they believe in life, don’t you know? No matter that stem cell research has the potential to save, or at least reduce the suffering in, countless lives. No matter that in reality researchers aren’t out gutting the wombs of innocent women and stealing fetuses. No matter that embryonic cells are routinely destroyed and have been for years. Forget all that—there is the sanctity of life to preserve, damnit! And taxes … Oh, Lord no… not taxes! Californians shouldn’t have to pay those!
Here’s the deal kids: Things cost money. Despite generous contributions from philanthropic institutions, stem cell regeneration might cost us a penny or two. But I would bet all that tax money that if a member of these anti-progressive groups gets a serious bout of Parkinson’s or watches a loved one suffer from the debilitating affects of Alzheimer’s, they’d be hard pressed to turn down technology that offers hope. Come on! Lets not forget how state courts are kept viable so we can keep stem cell research stagnant for years—that’s right, taxes. So, pardon me if I don’t buy the ‘sanctity of life argument. Researchers are not out to destroy existing life; they’re out to enhance it. As for the tax debate California, comparatively speaking, is in the bottom of income tax revenue collection by national standards. Progress doesn’t come cheap. Stem cell research is high in controversy and cost. But then again, you get what you pay for. It’s time we put our money where our mouths are and paid for some progress.

Dealing With the Reality of Injuries What’s up with shoulder injuries this season? First Miami’s Dwyane Wade goes down with a shoulder injury when he collided with Houston’s Shane Battier. Then Lakers’ Vlad Radmonovich tweaks his shoulder on the slopes, now Lamar (I prefer to call him Lame-ar) Odom reaggravated his shoulder injury and may be out for the season. If you had Lame-ar on your squad and need a quick fix think about picking up Brian Cook. He’s started the last two games for the Lakers and scored 22 points against the Suns last Sunday. Shaun Livingston was once dubbed the future of the Clippers; now his future seems grim if he doesn’t bounce back from a dislocated kneecap. He shredded his knee on Feb. 26. against the Bobcats, one game after he dropped 14 points and 14 dimes on the Warriors. What a shame. What’s worse for the Clips is

Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball finished off their regular season with a victory as the Titans beat UC Davis 62-53 on a sentimental night in Titan Gym. Before the game Thursday, there was a ceremony to honor Fullerton’s departing seniors: Audrey Taylor, Andrea Adams, Charlee Underwood, India McDaniel and Ariel Adams. Family members embraced their senior Titans and many photographs were snapped as the crowd gathered for the final home game. “It was pretty emotional, especially at the beginning with the ceremony,” Underwood said. “It’s sad; no one wants to ever stop playing.” The 14-15 overall Titans were lead by Underwood’s 21 points and 11 rebounds, including 4-7 from downtown. Toni Thomas pitched in with 20 points and six rebounds off the bench. The first half was closely contested and the Titans trailed the Aggies 2629 at the close. The Titans were in control for the first 10 minutes and were led by Underwood and Thomas. Underwood had 10 points and four boards by the break and Thomas had eight points. Thomas, a sophomore became the first Titan to earn first team honors in the Big West Conference in 10 years. She led the conference with 17.6 points per games and was among the Top 10 leaders in seven different categories. Haylee Donaghe led the Aggies with 24 points, three assists and three rebounds. Donaghe took over for the Aggies with 12 points including two treys in the first half and put the Aggies ahead at the break. The Titans out rebounded the Aggies 20-7 in the first half but committed 13 turnovers to the Aggies nine. Titan Head Coach Dr. Maryalyce Jeremiah had the Titans well prepared going into the second half as the Titans quickly regained the lead 31-29, with 18 minutes to go. “We shot the ball better [in the second half ] and we made a couple of adjustments with where we put our players on the floor so that opened up their zone a little bit more,” Jeremiah said. Thomas hit a variety of buckets in the second half, but stayed mostly around the rim. With 15:27 to play, Thomas took it to the rim to put the Titans up 40-31. “It was a night for the seniors so I had to do whatever I could just to bring out the ‘W’ for them,” Thomas said. The Titans hit 7-20 from the 3point line and had their biggest lead of 18 points with 10:40 left to play on a trey by Andrea Adams. Underwood had two impressive blocks in the second half and a put back with 5:19 left giving the Titans a 59-43 edge. “My teammates got me the ball when I was open and I knocked shots down,” Underwood said. She earned second team honors in the Big West Conference this season, scoring 14.6 points per game and grabbing 6.8 rebounds per game. The Aggies pulled within eight with just under a minute to go, but it was too little too late. The Titans were emotional as Jeremiah pulled the five seniors out of the game with 22.3 seconds left. “You can’t be too sad, it’s a happy feeling,” Underwood said. Jeremiah is no stranger to senior nights, as she is in her 11th year at Cal State Fullerton. “I’ve done this so long … I can’t count the number of senior nights I’ve been through,” Jeremiah said. “I think it’s harder for them because they aren’t going to play here, especially for five kids that have given so much to this program.” The Titans will be the No. 5 seed heading into the Big West tournament that starts tommorow. “We have four games to play, but so did UCR last year and they came out and won the whole thing,” Thomas said.
Fantasy Fix
that their veteran PG Sam Hammer head Cassel is 103-yearsold and is always injured. Look for Daniel Ewing to pick up the guard play if you’re desperate. If Corey Maggette is out on the waiver wire snag him. He’s getting plenty of time and in his last six starts, he has averaged 19 points. The Golden state Warriors G/F Stephen Jackson fractured his big toe and is out indefinitely. Look for Mickael Pietrus to pick up the slack. Don’t expect too much though. Yao Ming is back so you Dikembe Mutombo owners can shelf the big man from Zaire with the cookie monster voice and replace him with seven footer from China who looks like Frankenstein. Till next week my fellow fantasy geeks.
