Cal State Fullerton will be awarding eight teaching credential students with scholarships in an effort to increase the amount of special education teachers statewide. CSUF aims to catapult the recipients into preschool education, which is particularly suffering from a lack of special education teachers. The Department of Education has awarded a $1.25 million grant to CSUF thanks to Janice Myck-Wayne, Ph.D., who drafted the 50-page grant request to fund her brainchild, “Supporting Teachers Advancement and Retention,” or Project STAR. Project STAR plans to grant eight students a year with a two-year scholarship, to continue for the next four years, for a total of 32 students. California has been in a shortage of special education teachers since 1994, which has been further exasperated by the increasing number of infants and toddlers with special needs since 1997. Project STAR’s objective is to take select students in the Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) credential program and give them an opportunity to complete the preliminary program and other credentials as well. “It does fund the clearing of the credential which is normally an additional cost of thousands of dollars,” said Erica Borrowdale, one of the eight recipients of the STAR scholarship. “We’re receiving mentorship from awesome people which is going to be super helpful in professional development.” The scholarship goes beyond the fees for the credential program itself, aiming to relieve the financial burden of the majority of education-related services for grant recipients. The amount of money issued on the grant will break down over five years to $250,000 a year, with 65 percent of that going directly to student support, Myck-Wayne said. The money will pay for books, fees, parking, attendance at professional conferences and extra materials for seminars. “One of the cool things about the grant is that it will enable us to bring teachers from state preschools and the Head Start program in from those districts to do simultaneous training seminars with grant students,” Myck-Wayne said. The individuals who received the grant demonstrated a respect for diversity and a passion for teaching children with special needs.

distribution of illicit drugs. Schou’s book, The Weed Runners: Travels with the Outlaw Capitalists of Americans Medical Marijuana Trade encapsulates the 15-year history of cannabis in California. Taking a business approach when writing the book, Schou said he wanted to explore how the medical marijuana trade operates in the streets as a legitimate business. The book chronicles California’s Proposition 215, otherwise known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 which legalized the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes across the state. The failed Proposition 19 in 2010 would have legalized cannabis in the state. Schou said Proposition 19 was doomed by its own ambiguities and own inherent contradictions. “It was just a mess of a law,” he said. SEE DRUGS, 3

Festival celebrates all forms of literature The free three-day event presented screenwriters, authors and novelists CYNTHIA PLEITEZ For the Daily Titan

Comic book enthusiasts, writers, readers and film buffs gathered at the second annual Big Orange Book Festival (BOB) at Chapman University. The free three-day event, which drew in about 5,000 people, included several marquee presenters and panel discussions. The festival kicked off Friday with a screening of the book to film adaptation of The Princess Bride. Saturday’s all-day schedule was packed with poetry readings, California authors who write about their experiences in “the golden state,” paranormal writing and discussions on how to get published. But the highlight of the festival was a discussion led by Marvel Editor, Bill Rosemann, who was the final presentation of the night. Rosemann has worked with the industry’s leading creators and has edited and wrote titles starring Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Batman, and

the Avengers. Rosemann engaged the audience with his interpretation of the complex human problems and emotions each comic book character is faced with. “All good heroes and villains have a great origin story where something happens to them and changes them, where they have to make a decision of what to do with their life,” Rosemann said. He said anyone can relate to superheroes, despite their lack of immortality or powers. The fascination for fictional stories has grown. Rosemann said celebrities often visit the Marvel offices in New York and political figures, like President Barack Obama, find their sweet escape in comics as well. Rosemann’s impressive presentation was followed by a free screening of Marvel’s The Avengers (2012). Attendees were also welcome to meet and greet with established writers of various genres. Novelist Beverly Magid was one of the authors holding book signings at the event. She is the

author of Flying Out of Brooklyn, a novel about a woman’s experience in World War II-era Brooklyn, and Sown in Tears, a woman’s account during Russia’s horrific pogroms in 1905.

“People are more interested in what the young people are thinking today than they ever have been.” Beverly Magid Novelist

When she was younger, she asked teachers, friends and anyone to provide her feedback so she could “become a better writer.” The BOB Festival also invited guests to download a free mobile app to view the schedule of the event’s presentation times and locations. The schedule for Sunday included a presentation by Kim Stanley Robinson, regarded as one of the most respected sciencefiction authors in the world, his Mars trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) was an international best-seller. Other highlights included a discussion entitled “Writing for and About TV.” The panel included David Iserson, who has written for New Girl and Saturday Night Live; Andrew Kaplan, author of bestselling book series Scorpion and Homeland; and John Vorhaus, the novelist behind The Texas Twist.

you have to have an idea, something that really grabs a hold of you, that you can wrap yourself around and not let go of and you have to not give up,” Magid said. With fiction, authors are limited to their own ideas. However, in non-fiction a writer can draw inspiration from anywhere, she said. “In journalism, then it’s really a matter of finding out what the newspaper is looking for,” Magrid said. “People are more interested in what the young people are thinking today than they ever have been. So, if you could bring a new perspective to either news or a lifestyle and offer the idea to them, that may get your foot in the door.” Getting a foot in the door is something all speakers at the BOB Festival touched on.

Cal State Fullerton kicked off the 100 Mile Swim Club Challenge for students and faculty on Monday at the Student Recreation Center. The goal of the challenge is to encourage students and faculty to swim 100 miles throughout the school year. Participants may also choose to swim 25 or 50 miles as part of the challenge, which will run through next semester and will end May 10. In previous years, students participated in The Big West and Catalina/English Channel challenges. Jana McAdams, a lifeguard at the SRC, said those events had goals as high as 650 miles, resulting in low student involvement. “The Big West was really discouraging and not really possible for busy students unless they were at the pool swimming 30 miles a week,” McAdams said. “I felt like Catalina/English Channel was a little bit too easy for

reaching the miles needed to reach the goals, McAdams decided to think of a different challenge. She wanted to create a challenge people could feel successful doing that was both realistic and challenging. “There is something about saying you were able to swim 25, 50 or 100 miles ... it sounds awesome!” McAdams said. The SRC is hoping for higher participation this year with the new challenge goals. Prizes will be given to each swimmer who reaches their goal, as well as the first competitor to finish swimming 100 miles. McAdams said there are about 71 laps in a mile. “We just started it on Monday and there’s already a good amount of people who have come up and we already have people signed up,” Teale Blakely, a student lifeguard, said, “I’m sure we’ll get even more at the end of the week.” Participants may swim as many laps as they want at their own pace over the next 25 weeks. Swimmers are responsible for tracking their

own laps and must report them to SRC lifeguards to be entered in the log book. Every week the staff update how many miles each person swims. Miles will be updated electronically and out on the pool deck. Students will be expected to use the “honor system” when logging their laps. “You would be swimming around 71 laps a week, which really is actually a fairly small number. I know these numbers sound very big, but 71 laps per week is approximately 1,775 yards, that is a typical swim for, I would say, beginner-intermediate swimmer to swim in one day,” Frances Caron, the safety and aquatics coordinator of Titan Recreation, said. Caron said some students do not feel comfortable going to the SRC pool alone, and she is hoping this event gives people a reason to come out and get involved with the pool. “This particular event and swim challenge is much more reasonable and thats why it is a lower mileage, because anybody can do it this isn’t aimed at the really elite swimmers who swim everyday so it gives people a reason to come out to the pool,” Caron said.

California’s appeal to overturn an ordinance that could force the state to release prisoners for early parole was rejected yesterday by the Supreme Court. Gov. Jerry Brown argued against the ordinance saying “the state cannot meet that goal without releasing dangerous felons and jeopardizing public safety,” according to the Orange County Register. A panel of three lower-court judges ordered California to reduce its prison population in 2011 to improve the quality of living within the prisons. The lower court ordered the state to lower their prison populations after a 2001 lawsuit on behalf of inmates who complained of poor health care that resulted in death, or medical malpractice. With the Supreme Court’s rejection of the state’s appeal, California will have to reduce its adult prison populations by 110,000 inmates by the end of this year.

A man who raped three women, including two whom he met on Myspace, has been sentenced to 24 years in prison. Jason Ara Erpinar, 24, of Yorba Linda was found guilty in August 2012 of two felony counts of rape by intoxication and one count of forcible rape, according to the Orange County Register. The first rape occurred in 2008 when Erpinar went on a date with a woman he had met on Myspace. Erpinar drove her to a hotel in Newport Beach where he raped her. The second incident occurred in 2009 when Erpinar raped a woman he met on Myspace at a house party in La Habra. According to prosecutors, both women were “severely intoxicated” at the time they were raped and both reported the incident to police the next day. Erpinar originally pleaded guilty in 2011 and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Later that year he withdrew his guilty plea, resulting in the extended sentence.

A 37-year-old man’s body was found early Tuesday morning in Orange, according to the Orange County Register. A motorist spotted the body while driving down Tustin Street. The motorist used the car to shield the body from any further damage by oncoming traffic until the police arrived. The man’s name is still unknown and police will not release the name until his family is notified. Authorities said the man was a known transient in the city of Orange. The man was pronounced dead at the scene suffering from “massive head trauma,” the Register reported. Investigators said that this could be a hit-and-run incident, but they need to wait until an autopsy is completed to verify the cause of death. There have been no witnesses to come forward and there are no descriptions about any vehicles in the area at the time of the incident.

Urban challenges Daily Titan

The growing challenges of gentrification could begin to affect neighborhoods surrounding Cal State Fullerton, argued students during a discussion of economic and housing developments on Tuesday. The discussion was led by Erualdo Gonzalez, Ph.D., an associate professor of Chicana and Chicano Studies at CSUF who has a doctorate in urban and regional planning from UC Irvine. Students gathered in the President’s Room of the Titan Student Union to listen and participate in the discussion. Gentrification, referred to by Gonzalez as “the ‘G’ word,” is a process of changing residents’ wealth in urban areas by the middle class. In doing so, a higher cost of living usually forces low-income residents to leave the area by driving up rent and property tax. This process of gentrification is forcing away a group of people that Gonzalez calls the “creative class,” most commonly consisting of artists, software developers and other types of jobs mainly dominated by the younger, poorer generation. “A lot of countries are losing a particular class of people to other places, especially the United States,” Gonzalez said. “And we need this class of people in this country to keep it vibrant, keep the economy going, to give our cities life.” Gonzalez said he considers middle-class individuals to be

is an attempt to push out the lower class and bring in a new population. She said the working class is paying taxes too, but their tax money is being used to help those that are already making a high income. “Why couldn’t you use those resources to better help the low income people?” Menendez said. “Resources could be better allocated to help families that are low income that are in Section 8 ... Why can’t we use the resources to better the schools so that low income children that come from broken homes can have a better education system?” Some students said they saw signs of gentrification occurring around CSUF. “Sometimes I think this school is more focused on how to get more money, not about students themselves,” Bowen Zheng, 30, an electrical engineering major said. Aunaetitrakul said he used to live in Boulder, Colo. He said since Boulder is a college town, everything is very expensive, including the cost of living and even sharing an apartment. Aunaetitrukal added that CSUF is also following this path. “I know that the university is planning to revitalize to make this a college town,” Aunaetitrakul said. “And if the university is planning to try to make this a college town by bringing businesses and remodeling some of the buildings around, they’re planning to invest a lot of money. For me, I think that at some point, Cal State Fullerton’s going to experience that (increased cost of living).” Gonzalez is also hosting a panel, “Latinos and the City,” on Nov. 21 in TSU Pavillion A.

educators, attorneys, politicians and other professionals. Often times, the middle class gets pulled to a specific area for gentrification. “These areas are near the downtown area, and are seen as central city districts,” Gonzalez said. They are previously neglected areas which could offer affordable housing and proximity to cultural activities and other amenities. For example, Gonzalez said that there is not a lot of history of government resources or public partnerships in lower income areas such as downtown Santa Ana. The homes will often be run down, neglected and predominantly populated by working-class residents. This makes it easy for the iddle class to refurbish buildings and houses at middle-class market rates that lower-income individuals cannot afford. Lofts are also being built in downtown Santa Ana, which targets a specific type of person and is not ideal for families. Along with high-end housing, retail and restaurants, the city is becoming too expensive for the working class, causing a decrease in its overall population. Between 2000 and 2010, the downtown area lost 14 percent of its residents, Gonzalez said. “This issue is not only happening in Santa Ana, it’s happening in many places across the country,” said 26-year-old graduate student Dear Aunaetitrakul. “And one thing that kind of bothers me the most … the people who suffer from this are ethnic minorities, the workingclass average American who’s just trying to live their life.” Economics major Dymphna Menendez said gentrification

The 16 students admitted into the Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) credential program were sent letters inviting them to apply to project STAR, Myck-Wayne said. The students are asked about their vision and how they felt about diversity and inclusion. “Within the classroom setting, as far as diversity, I want to definitely celebrate it and encourage it and pull things from my student’s cultural backgrounds and include them in the classroom,” Borrowdale said. Recipient Amy Kim started working in an Autism Spectrum and Related Disorders

(ASRD) classroom six years ago, and although she initially thought she was applying for an aide position in a kindergarten classroom, she soon realized working with autistic children was the direction she wanted to take in life. “The moment I think it switched for me is when you made that connection with them, then they’re coming to you to meet their needs, but they might not be able to verbalize it,” Kim said. Kim said during her most recent visit back at the preschool, the kids couldn’t quite explicitly express their excitement, yet they exhibited this behavior by putting their backs towards her and coming up to her for a hug, and to Amy

that showed their excitement. The lack of ESCE teachers also presents many job opportunities, “90 percent of our Early Childhood Special Education teaching credential graduates do get hired in Orange County,” Myck-Wayne said. Teaching special needs children can be a fulfilling career for those who have the patience and compassion to applaud the growth of children with specific needs. “It was a big change for me to be able to come to grips to quit my job and come to school full time,” Kim said. “It was a real blessing to be able to receive this grant and a confirmation that I am doing the right thing to follow my dream.

Proposition 19 failed to pass by a 6 percent margin. The ambiguities of the current laws in California allow for the “Outlaw Capitalist” that Schou writes about “to have one foot in the underground economy where they are dealing with illegal activity and brokering big cross country deals. And at the same time trying to find ways to leave that behind and go legitimate.” The laws place dispensary owners in a catch-22 situation when they are looking to start a legitimate medical marijuana collective and abide by all city ordinances in order to operate, Schou said. Because state and federal law are not in sync, if one abides by all state and local regulations, there may still be consequences, he said. “That can be used against you because it’s evidence that you were actually involved in something illegal in the eye of the federal law,” Schou said. “But if you don’t do those things, they are going to use that against you as well.” Schou said raids on dispensaries are used as scare tactics because arrests are rarely made. He said that federal agents only execute these raids in conjunction with local authorities. “They seemed to know that

government would not interfere with state law where Marijuana is legal as long as the state has strict enforcement priorities in a recent memo. While this is in no way a green light for legalization, Schou said the memo is significant. “There’s all these various ways that the feds are going to continue to enforce prohibitions on pot, but it’s going to be much more specific, it’s not all-encompassing, and that’s a huge change,” Schou said. As he was wrapping up the book, Colorado and Washington passed laws that legalized marijuana for recreational use. “(It) showed that it’s actually possible to do and totally upstaged California, which drives that whole point even more clearly,” Schou said.

A new approach to Iran After years of sanctions that have been ineffective, US needs to reevaluate MATTHEW HADDIX Daily Titan

With a single phone call in September, the leaders of the U.S. and Iran ended 34 long years of silence between the two countries, and renewed hopes of a diplomatic compromise. The United States has attempted for years to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons through its uranium enrichment program. Though the program is allegedly for peaceful use, the United States has pursued this policy through a collaboration of international sanctions against Iran. Iran isn’t likely to halt these operations unless the sanctions are lifted, which has had significant adverse effects to the people of Iran. The international community should capitalize on this rare diplomatic opportunity. The sanctions have not served their intended purpose of disabling the Iranian uranium enrichment program, in fact the only thing they have done is forced Iran to the diplomatic table—an avenue of change international powers should have attempted decades ago. The scope of international sanctions directly affects Iran’s oil-based economy, with complying countries completely banning the purchasing of Iranian oil and rejecting banks that deal transactions in Iranian currency. This causes the Iranian

economy to stagnate and rot, shattering the value of the Iranian rial—with inf lation spiking to nearly 30 percent. In non-democratic regimes like Iran, the government is able to weather the significant economic ramifications by turning these consequences on their own people, reducing the quality of life of average Iranians across the board; from poorly constructed public transport to a shrinking supply of medical equipment and supplies. These sanctions have not met the aims of the international community. Iran has continued to enrich uranium and refuses to change their program regardless of the severity of sanctions. Sanctions against North Korea have been similarly ineffective, with the South Korean government suggesting that North Korea has reactivated the Yongbyon nuclear reactor with the hopes of developing enriched uranium. The U.S. and the international community should learn from the previous sanctions imposed on Iraq, which had little effect on military and scientific programs within Iraq. Under the decade of sanctions imposed on Iraq, infant mortality rate skyrocketed to over 60 per 1000 children born in 2000, ten times more than the U.S. in 2000. The preponderance of infant deaths were borne of a critical lack of medical supplies and technology entering the country. The same story unfolds in similar ways in Iran, and has

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

proven that economic sanctions are not an effective way to control bellicose governments. Diplomacy and humanitarian aid are the tools the international community needs to employ in order to strengthen ties with sanctioned countries, and more importantly, relieve the burden carried by the peoples within the aforementioned countries. By improving the quality of life for people within antagonistic governments, it gives individuals a chance to take less time trying to survive and more time questioning why their governments act the way they do. The desire to be free of marginalization, to be free of suppressed speech and to believe freely f lourishes best in an atmosphere where individuals have the luxury of spending time on critical thought. The fight for democracy is almost always a bloody one, as history has proven, and there are many who would take oppression over slaughter when faced with the grim reality of merciless military retaliation. In an age of global communication, there has never been a greater opportunity to wear down the barriers of “us” and “them,” to realize the experiences we share are not a predominantly “American” or “Iranian” experience, but a human experience. Thus, it behooves established democracies to stand together in solidarity with the seekers of democratic representation to make the story of democracy less about governments and more about people.

The path to immigration reform is often the topic of spirited political debate. So much so, in fact, that it has permeated every facet of American society. With such a hot-button issue, the question arises whether all the controversy is actually worth it. According to the latest National Census reports, there are currently over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. Sixteen percent of these individuals make up the manual labor workforce. Despite the physical demands of these jobs, undocumented individuals are often compensated on drastically low levels due to their illegal status. Due to their questionable legal status, undocumented immigrants may feel forced to take lower paying jobs because they do not believe they are entitled to the same labor rights of U.S. workers with papers. With the influx of illegal immigrants increasing yearly, the need for reform is looming over the heads of our elected officials. Although the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill, which includes a pathway to citizenship, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has refused to vote on the Senate bill, preferring a piecemeal approach with a heavy emphasis

on border security. This leads us to the important question, what really is the big deal when it comes to the total integration of American society? A common misconception about illegal immigration is that these individuals are not contributing to society on a fiscal level. This is nothing more than an overstretched myth. In a recent national census, an estimated 8 million illegal immigrants paid taxes, including income taxes and Medicare and Social Security taxes. Indeed, revenue from illegal immigrants is estimated at $11 billion a year to Social Security alone, according to the New York Times. Obviously, everyone who buys things in the United States pays sales taxes, despite their immigration status. All these factors combined prove that undocumented immigrants are contributing to society in ways that some have perceived only possible if they were American citizens. Why do we continue to place restrictions on those who are also playing by our societal rules? The U.S. is a country of immigrants. Not a single one of us, unless we identify as Native American, are indigenous to the continent. This nation was founded on the idea that people should be free from tyranny and that people should have equal opportunity for “liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Who are we to claim that freedom and equality can only be predicated due to a piece of paper? Children of immigrants, if born in the U.S., are by law

Riverside county pit bulls need sterilization BRIAN CHESTER

Daily Titan

Pit bull owners in Riverside County now have to make an appointment with their local veterinarian to have their pet spayed or neutered. An ordinance passed on Tuesday requiring all pit bulls more than four months old in the unincorporated parts of the county to be spayed or neutered. This may seem like a lot to sink one’s teeth into, but upon further investigation, its bark is worse than its bite. There are currently 28 incorporated cities in the county of Riverside, including 65 unincorporated neighborhoods. An incorporated city has a local governing body with its own elected officials, while an unincorporated town does not. Unincorporated neighborhoods, including census-designated places, are run by the county. This new law will only apply to pit bulls in unincorporated neighborhoods, excluding the incorporated parts of Riverside. However, owners can prevent the sterilization of their pets by providing evidence of professional training or health issues that might prevent the sterilization of the animal. Pit bulls will be exempt from sterilization if the owner proves that the dog belongs to a registered breeder, is trained for law enforcement duties, serves as an “assistance dog” for a disabled person, is training in or licensed in another county or has been certified by a veterinarian as having a health defect that would be aggravated by sterilization. Ordering certain pit bulls to be sterilized may sound harsh, but in reality it could prove to be very helpful. Whether we like to admit it or not, pit bulls can be very aggressive animals. While it may not be true that all pit bulls are born aggressive, many of them are trained to be by their own-

ers. Furthermore, many do not receive the proper training and become aggressive from lack of better guidance. Characteristically, when people think of pit bulls, it automatically triggers the negative stigma of being a “fighting dog.” Many of these animals are being found in fighting rings, where money hungry humans mold them into vicious killers for their own financial gain. According to the Riverside County’s Department of Animal Services, Riverside impounds about 3,500 to 4,000 pit bulls each year. Of these dogs, 80 percent have not been spayed or neutered. Currently, cities and counties in 12 states have implemented a similar pit bull law, and many of them are reporting successful results. In 2005, San Francisco began ordering the spaying and neutering of pit bulls. Since then, the city has impounded 14 percent fewer pit bulls and euthanized 29 percent fewer, the city’s Animal Care and Control department said. San Bernardino County also created a pit bull sterilization law in 2010, and reported a 9.6 percent decrease in dog bites the following year, the Press-Enterprise reported. These laws have proven to work in other counties and Riverside can look forward

granted immediate citizenship thanks to the Fourteenth Amendment. This does not benefit the family, however, because their parental guardians are still limited in their ability to provide due to their lack of documentation. This absence of legal standing also brings forth a new set of dilemmas for the documented American citizen. The Affordable Care Act may have brought health care costs down for Americans but the National Immigration Law Center points out that undocumented immigrants are not allowed to purchase private health insurance, even if it was at full price. As the undocumented are forced to turn to emergency rooms, taxpayers across the board in turn are left responsible for footing the bill. This vicious cycle of blame shifting creates a pressure cooker of modern racism and resentment towards a new class of Americans. The cycle of history shows hostility towards an influx of immigrants through time, and our modern society is not an exception. Tack the word “illegal” in front of immigrant and you are literally deeming a class of people inferior. Immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship is a necessary step in our modern societal progression. Instead of getting caught up in the polarization of partisan politics, we must remember that we are dealing with fellow human beings who only wish to advance themselves through new opportunities in the greatest country on Earth. to a decrease in aggressive pit bulls in its communities. Maybe these pit bulls are not born to kill. Maybe it is not the pit bulls that need to be trained, but the humans that are raising them. But realistically, the numbers are not in their favor. This new law will serve as a deterrent to future pit bull attacks. It will also decrease overpopulation in animal shelters, and lower the number of pit bulls euthanized. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, sterilization may decrease aggression in pit bulls. A common form of aggression results from the males brawling over the opposite sex. Lowered testosterone levels may diminish the males interest in female dogs, thus preventing violent fights between males. Not only does sterilization decrease aggression, but it is also good for the animals health. Neutering prevents testicular cancer, a common and fatal cancer in older male dogs, according to ASPCA. Neutering can also establish a healthy prostate. If left unsterilized, the dogs prostate will enlarge with age, causing pain and urinating difficulties. While neutering pit bulls will not immediately solve aggression issues among the breed, it certainly is a good place to start. Riverside County is chasing after a safer community, and this law might just help them make the catch.

DETOUR The CSUF adaptation of the romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, will bring new setting and dialogue

Play modernizes Shakespeare classic

Courtesy of the Theatre Deparment Gossip and deceit unravel in CSUF’s latest theater play, which opens Friday, Oct. 18 at the Young Theatre.

PATTON TRAN Daily Titan

More than 400 years later, the themes, phrases and prose of the famous English poet and playwright, William Shakespeare, remain relevant. Strip away the 16th century puffy sleeves and dialogue spoken in rhyme, and you have a relatable, modern story. Cal State Fullerton’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s 1612 theater play, Much Ado About Nothing, tackles the original script while using modern elements. Today’s writers and directors admire Shakespeare’s ability to create archetypes that are constantly adapted in all forms of writing. Simple changes, like a modern setting, helps viewers relate to characters. Much like 2000’s Hamlet, which changed the setting to modern times, but kept most of the original script. The film 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), a modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, contemporizes the original dialogue and setting and keeps the main theme and plot. Director of CSUF’s Much Ado About Nothing, Travis Donnelly, aimed to do the same with his version of William Shakespeare’s play. Much Ado About Nothing will be Donnelly’s third main stage production. The play has an uplifting tone, a relief for the director. “I would really like to get back to something simple, touching and that will make you laugh,” he said. Much Ado About Nothing is a “fun lighthearted show.” It’s a romantic comedy filled with gossip, deceit, trickery and mistaken identities. The play revolves around two couples. “Trickery and villainy tries to separate the two,” Donnelly said. The play is a romp about miscommunication between friends.The old English style, with its double meanings make Shakespeare’s work difficult to understand and relate to. “Lines have been cut to make the show

THE DAILY TITAN run smoother; the cuts in the script is not necessarily to change the meaning of the play or the idea,” Donnelly said. “Sometimes, things have been removed to streamline the thought.” This is done to help the audience follow the story’s f low. In original Shakespeare plays, repetition is used to portray the era’s formal dialogue. CSUF’s adaptation is set in the ‘90s. The original play takes place in the house of Gov. Leonato, where people of high status often gathered. Donnelly has updated the play by placing it in an outdoor mall in southeast Florida, owned by business tycoon Leonato. Donnelly, who grew up in the ‘90s, said this setting was suiting, since like Gov. Leonato’s house, the mall is a place where people congregate. Another major change is the character Don Pedro, who goes from the Prince of

Aragon in the original to a commanding officer in Donnelly’s version. Pre-production for CSUF’s Much Ado About Nothing started last spring. Although Donnelly was apprehensive at first, since it’s the first full-length Shakespeare play, he is now confident in the production. “(Shakespeare) has just written it out, it’s there on the page, all the actions,” Donnelly said. “It’s in the lines and if you pay attention what people are saying, it’s really obvious what needs to happen.” Much Ado About Nothing opens Oct. 18 and runs through Nov. 3. Tickets are $11 at the door and $10 with an advance Titan discount.

Jazz styles merge The concert will feature upbeat dance and rockinspired compositions KAILEY DEMARET Daily Titan

The Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and Big Band will take on musical arrangements from inf luential jazz composers George Gershwin and Duke Ellington this Friday at Meng Concert Hall. The performance will be conducted and directed by Cal State Fullerton music professor and Grammy Award-winning jazz composer Bill Cunliffe. The concert will feature music from Gershwin, such as his hit song “I Got Rhythm,” which was trimmed to accommodate the orchestra. “Sweet Andy” is an original composition Cunliffe wrote that will be performed by the Jazz Orchestra and Big Band. A vocalist will also join the group’s performance. “It’s fun, it’s different, it will expand your head, but it will also make your feet tap,” Cunliffe said. Separately, each band will play five arrangements. At the end of the concert, both bands will perform together. This will be the first time a 35-piece jazz band has done that on the stage. “It’s going to be loud,” he said. Nathan Parker Smith, a Brooklyn-based composer, wrote one of the pieces the Big Band will perform. This piece is more “hard acid rock” than strictly a jazz piece of music. The jazz concert will blend old and new music with different styles and inf luences. A mix of high tempo jazz, swing, rock and even metal will be some of the genres the bands will tackle.

“It’s a lot of rock and jazz, a lot of hard swing,” Brad Bain, 18, a freshman trombone player in the Jazz Orchestra said. Sean Mehaffey, a sophomore saxophonist in the orchestra said he’s excited to perform “crazy tunes” for Friday’s audience. “Playing with the different instruments and with the band mates and getting to perform with all of them,” Bain said. “It’s always a fun experience to actually perform with them; it’s always different from just rehearsing every day.” Although both bands focus on jazz compositions, their performances also extend to other genres. “There is some pop-ish and

more modern stuff,” Nathan King, saxophonist for the orchestra said. The orchestra has received high notes from major jazz festivals such as the Playboy Jazz Festival, Pacific Coast Collegiate Jazz Festival and the Reno College Jazz Festival. To get a preview of what to expect at the concert, the jazz bands will perform at Steamers Jazz Club and Cafe tonight at 7 p.m. Friday’s concert starts at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office for $10 at the door and $8 in advance for those who qualify for Titan discounts.

ANIMATION

Continued from PAGE 1

Unten joined the Pencil Mileage Club, where animators and illustrators discuss their common interest, and met fellow artists whom he’s still friends with. It is this club where Unten also met his wife, Eren. Although Unten’s field of study was traditional hand-drawn animation, he also delved into computer generated animation. He formed a small clique of dedicated animators who brought their computer towers and monitors to campus everyday and worked on their craft in the computer labs. “The guys would design these slings that they would put over their shoulder and walk around with this giant CPU,” Dana Lamb, a Cal State Fullerton professor and chair of the Department of Visual Arts, said. Lamb described Unten as a natural talent and an animator who had the “whole package.” His creative ideas matched up to his drawing and animation skills. “An animator can be good at some things, but you rarely find someone who’s good at all of the things,” Lamb said. While attending CSUF, Unten took a class on Maya, an animation and model program used to render 3-D motional effects. After finishing the program, it wasn’t enough. He wanted to learn more. After graduating, Unten spent his days working with his father doing construction. At night, he would read an archaic book on 3-D modeling and rigging. Unten said the experience he gained learning the basics of rigging helped him be more expressive with his animation and eventually led him to getting his job at Disney. “I feel any experience, as long as you’re learning, it will eventually help you in the end,” Unten said. Unten took up an apprenticeship under Disney animator, John Ripa, who was behind the animation of characters like Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas and Tarzan. For nine months, Unten picked up skills under Ripa’s expertise, who learned under Glen Keane animation supervisor for Fox and the Hound, Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. Knowledge is passed down from “generation to generation.” Keane apprenticed under Ollie Johnston (Fantasia, Pinocchio, Peter Pan), who apprenticed under Fred Moore (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland). Since his humble beginnings with 2007’s Meet the Robinsons, Unten constantly learns from the world that surrounds him. He takes these observations and translates them into his art, whether its emulating his dog’s personality into the animated character Bolt or learning about pixel art to understand how an 8-bit character like Ralph should move. In his latest animation, Frozen, as part of his research, Unten traveled to Wyoming to study its snowfall. He also watched videos to observe the mannerisms of royalty to portray the film’s ice queen, Elsa. But when the movie releases in theaters November, Unten said his job isn’t to make the audience notice small details like the subtle facial animations. “There are going to be a lot of people crying in this one,” Unten said. “Good tears, good tears.” Courtesy of Disney Anna and Elsa from the upcoming film Frozen.

Pad See Ew brings a savory stir-fry noodle dish to Fullerton.

ETHAN HAWKES / Daily Titan

The cream cheese wontons are stuffed with crab and served with a sauce.

Best thai food in town reviewed ETHAN HAWKES Daily Titan

The hole in the wall Thai restaurant, located on Chapman Avenue between Round Table Pizza and Pho Olivia, has gone in a few renovations through its time. The restaurant was originally named, Thai-Rama BBQ and later Pad Thai Corner, before settling on another Thai related pun, Thailandia. Regardless of its previous iterations, which I never tried, Thailandia is what a restaurant experience should be; friendly staff, snappy service and most importantly delicious food. Boasting a sizable menu, it would be impossible to try everything in one sitting. To judge by precedent, I figured I would try a few classics and begin with one of my favorite Thai dishes, Pad See Ew. No disappointment found here. The noodles were cooked to a soft-textured perfection and covered in an irresistible savory sauce, which made it as soft as physically possible.

The beef wasn’t overpowering as the broccoli created a lovely multi-textured dish. It’s a weird compliment, but the Pad See Ew at Thailandia wasn’t boring to eat. Instead of being a hodgepodge of flavors combined into one, like mediocre lasagna or other poorly crafted Italian dishes, the dish had its ingredients perfectly picked out and layered. Every bite was distinct and lively. Something this savory can’t be too healthy, but the stir fried noodles never felt grossly heavy even after eating my fill. While I usually prefer my Pad See Ew spicy, it’s definitely one of the best dishes on the menu even without the extra kick. Next up, the famous Chinese appetizer, cream cheese wontons. Although these are either a hit or miss at most restaurants, Thailandia delivered with crab filling and a tangy sweet and sour sauce to boot. All of the wontons were crispy and the filling definite-

ly benefited from the added seafood. Another appetizer on the menu, that can some may see as a main course, is the $8 chicken coconut soup. Coconut soup, also known as Tom Kha Gai, is a signature Thai dish with a broth based on using coconut soup and Thailandia’s broth absolutely makes this soup. It’s hard to describe because it’s a very harsh yet smooth experience gulping down the delectable and peppery broth of the Tom Kha Gai. Though chicken is the default, cheaper choice, any meat can be selected to be put into the soup. Tofu is actually my personal choice simply due to the fact that it absorbs the broth better. If ordered as a dine-in experience, the coconut soup arrives atop a snazzy pillar of fire. A bit less impressive in a take-out box, the taste is still exceptional. From a poor college student’s perspective, the little

corner restaurant may be a little on the pricey side, but the portions are generous. At $6 for about eight cream cheese wontons and $8.50 for Pad See Ew, it sells at about the average price of a restaurant. There isn’t much room for complaints since it’s large enough to serve as both lunch and dinner or even be left in the fridge overnight. Unfortunately, the coconut soup doesn’t last very long in the fridge as the bamboo shoots morph from crispy vegetables into unpalatable bark. It’s a perfectly adequate and clean as a sit-down restaurant, but for busy students, pick-up orders only take about 15 minutes. Even with a competing Thai restaurant across the street, Thai Basil, there has never been a reason to expand my horizons and try something outside of Thailandia. Every dish and experience I have had with Thailandia has kept me coming back anytime I get a Thai food craving.

Volleyball to hit the road Titans loof for a winning road record with two wins at Irvine and Long Beach IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team is coming off of a sweep against UC Riverside to kick off their road trip, which will continue with matches against rivals Long Beach State and UC Irvine this weekend. The Titans bring a record of 9-7 overall and 2-2 in conference play into the weekend. The Titans currently sit in fourth place in the Big West standings while Long Beach State and UCI are seventh and last, respectively. Senior outside hitter Bre Moreland starred for the Titans in the win over the Highlanders as she recorded her fifth doubledouble of the season. With this victory, the Titans have won two of their last three matches, so they will look to build upon their win over Riverside and snap out of their recent slump. CSUF lost four of their last five matches before their victory against UC Davis. CSUF will look to put their road struggles behind them as they hold a 2-3 away record. This contrasts with their 5-2 home record. CSUF will continue to rely on the leadership of senior rightside hitter Alyse Hensley. Hensley leads the Titans with 166 kills and an average 2.96 kills per set. Moreland is just behind Hensley with 164 kills and an average of 2.93 kills per set. Freshman libero McKenna Painton leads the Titans with 212 digs and an average of 4.61 digs per set. Moreland and Hensley have added 188 and 187 digs, respectively. Moreland averages 3.34 digs per set while Hensley averages 3.32. Hensley leads the Titans with 14 service aces while Painton and Moreland are just behind with 13 and 12, respectively. Junior setter Julie Consani sets up the offense with her assists. As the team facilitator, Consani has 612 assists on the season with 10.93 per set. Consani ranks seventh all-time in school history in assists. The Titans hold a .188 hitting

percentage as a team, and they have held their opponents to a .159 hitting percentage. Long Beach State currently holds a 9-9 record overall and a 2-3 conference record. CSUF will look to take advantage of a 49er team that hasn’t been dominant at home this season. Their home record stands at an even 5-5. Senior outside hitter Delainey Aigner-Swesey leads the 49ers in kills with 225 and 3.26 kills per set. She also leads the 49ers in digs with 203 and 2.94 digs per set. Sophomore outside hitter Alex Reid follows Aigner-Swesey with 218 kills and 156 digs and averages of 3.03 and 2.17 per set in the respective stats. Sophomore setter Erin Juley plays the facilitator role for Long Beach with 720 assists and 10 per set. Junior libero Chelsea Cabrajac leads the 49ers in service aces with 22. Overall, Long Beach State’s hitting percentage stands at .235 and they have kept their opponents to a .211 hitting percentage. UCI’s record stands at 9-10, and they are looking to recover from their cold streak of six consecutive losses. They’re also winless in conference play with a 0-5 record. Before they face the Titans, they will host UCR, who only has one win on the season. Senior outside hitter Aly Squires leads the Anteaters in kills with 238 and 3.17 per set. Sophomore outside hitter Marisa Bubica has contributed with 219 kills and 2.92 per set. Squires has added 185 digs and 2.47 per set to her season. Freshman libero Arden Davis is a defensive ace for the Anteaters with 223 digs and 3.84 per set. Senior middle blocker Shannon Fleming leads the Anteaters in service aces with 26. The hitting percentage for the Anteaters stands at .211, and they have held their opponents to a .199 hitting percentage. The Titans will travel to Walter Pyramid to play Long Beach on Friday at 7 p.m. The following day, they will travel to Bren Events Center to face a reeling UCI at 7 p.m. For more information on the CSUF women’s volleyball team and all Titan Athletics, go to FullertonTitans.com.

Many students who attend classes at the Fullerton campus do not know about the fitness center at the Irvine Campus. Cesar Rodriguez, who works at the Irvine Campus Fitness Center, said many students who attend the rapidly growing campus are unaware of the small but adequate fitness center’s existence. “Yeah, its kinda underground. Thats why I put on the music—so people can hear it. Some people pass by and kinda miss it,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez, who completed his undergraduate degree by attending classes held at the Irvine Campus, is now working towards his graduate degree at the Fullerton campus. Rodriguez said students at the Fullerton campus were surprised to learn about the fitness center. He said after telling fellow students about the center they started using it because it was closer to their homes. James Smith, a 22-year-old biology and communications major, said he was not aware of the small fitness center when he took classes at the Irvine Campus in past semesters. “Considering its an office building, I didn’t think they would have a fitness center in a corporate office building,” Smith said. Smith, who lives in Irvine,

said he will likely use the fitness center in the future, because it is closer to his home. Lisa Goodson, 25, who takes classes at both the Fullerton and Irvine Campus, has used the fitness centers on both campuses. “I was really surprised that such a small campus would offer (it). It may be a small gym, but a gym nonetheless,” Goodson said of the Irvine Campus Fitness Center. Goodson said she often works out at the SRC but has used the

Irvine Campus Fitness Center a few times. To put it into perspective, the fitness center at the Irvine Campus is small, and reminiscent of a gym in a hotel or apartment complex. Still, Rodriguez confirmed the small fitness center is affiliated directly with its larger counterpart at the Fullerton campus. “My boss is their boss over there too. Whatever information they have, they send it to us,” Rodriguez said. To use the fitness center, sim-

ply give the attendant a student CWID number instead of having to register and have your hand scanned like at the SRC. The Irvine fitness center plans to add classes and personal training sessions in the coming semesters. The Irvine Campus is located at 3 Banting in Irvine. The fitness center is open Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. with no fee for students. Parking passes used at the Fullerton campus are also valid at the Irvine Campus.
