Pink-clad council approves $9 million, 95-unit affordable senior home MATTHEW MEDINA Daily Titan

In a 3-1 vote, the Fullerton City Council approved a plan to develop a 95-unit affordable housing project for seniors on Commonwealth Avenue on their meeting Tuesday night. Mayor Bruce Whitaker voted against the development; Council-

member Greg Sebourn abstained. TRG Pacific Development, LLC, also known as The Richman Group, is in charge of the project. The project, codenamed “Alexander,” is estimated to cost $9,215,000; funding will come from the 2010 Tax Taxable Allocation Housing Bond revenue, which the council approved in October 2010. Mayor Pro Tem Doug Chaffee and Mayor Bruce Whitaker raised concerns over the cost of the project and paying for maintenance in the future.

“I’m not singling out any one operator; they’re all out there operating under the rules that exist now,” Whitaker said. “But the rules that exist now do not deliver cost-efficient, affordable housing. Period.” Residents who participated in the public comment session asked the council to provide more shelters and services for the homeless. One of them was Jason Martinez, who said that the city should do more to provide homeless shelters.

“The city of Santa Ana has approved a homeless shelter,” Martinez said.“The city of Santa Ana has more homeless people than the city of Fullerton, of course.” Councilmember Jan Flory acknowledged the message from residents concerning the homeless, but said that she does not support a moratorium on the city’s anti-camping ordinance, which some advocates for the homeless have requested.

BRIAN CHESTER Daily Titan

A long wooden table sat firmly in the middle of a congested room as 12 jurors packed tightly around it. A motionless fan hung overhead while two glowing lights uncomfortably heated the area like a furnace. Adjacent to the cooler were neatly stacked paper cups waiting to be filled with water. Tempers f lared, patience was challenged as a dozen jurors experienced firsthand the trials and tribulations of reaching a verdict. Twelve Angry Jurors performed its opening night on Friday, Sept. 26 at Hallberg Theatre. The play ended with a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd of nearly 150 people. Adapted from the original 1954 teleplay, Twelve Angry Men, by Reginald Rose, Twelve Angry Jurors follows a panel of jurors as they decide the fate of a 16-year-old boy convicted for the murder of his father. Before the play began, haunting piano vibrations echoed throughout the the-

atre, which foreshadowed what was to come. The dramatic melody created the illusion of walking into an episode of Law and Order. Twelve Angry Jurors was like watching a reality show, but live on stage as each performer delivered an authentic, believable performance. Performing in the Hallberg Theatre could prove to be a tricky task. With audience members sitting on all four sides of the stage, the view can sometimes become distorted. Each audience member has a different perspective of the performance, which coincides with each of the individual’s experience. Depending where you’re seated, there are times during the play when only the back of a performer’s head is visible. Although the characters do their best to maneuver around the stage, lacking the “perfect” angle can be distracting at times. However, the simplicity of the stage set up was perfect. The black and white mug shots spread across the floor accurately portrayed an actual courtroom. The door labeled “Jury Room” remained locked, which gave the audience the impression that the jurors were stuck inside the room. SEE TRIAL, 5

The organizations hope to reach their goal of sending 75 packages to troops. “I think the primary goal is for Cal State Fullerton as a community to continue to show its support to armed services and I think the secondary goal is for Cal State Fullerton just to come together as a community to do something of value,” Ward said.

Symphony pays tribute to former professor CSUF’s top wind ensemble prepares for Sunday’s performance at Meng Hall ROBERT REYES Daily Titan

With less than two weeks until the concert, students of the University Wind Symphony were still jotting down changes in their sheet music. Led by Associate Professor of Music Mitch Fennell, Cal State Fullerton’s University Wind Symphony is fast approaching their Sunday performance at Meng Hall Concert Hall. Thus far, Fennell, who has served as the Symphony’s conductor since 1988, has focused on individual development. But as the concert date gets closer, Fennell uses the remainder of time to bring all the pieces together. “He knows what he wants and

he’s not really afraid to tell you exactly what he wants, which is good,” Constantino Felicetta, who plays the Eb Clarinet in the University Wind Symphony, said. The Symphony is CSUF’s top wind ensemble and is made up of upper-division students, music performance majors and students from the growing graduate student program. Prior to the semester, students auditioned and placed either in the University Wind Symphony or the other two performing groups in the concert program— the Symphonic Winds, made up of mostly music education students; and the University Band, which is primarily for non majors. The University Wind Symphony meets twice a week for an hour and 20 minutes. Students practice their instruments about three to five hours a day, Fennell said. Like most Western concerts, the Symphony practices the music outside of rehearsals, making

individual adjustments. The Symphony focuses the last four rehearsals on balance and running through big chunks of music. “Everybody brings their indi-

vidual talents and their individual preparation to help make the sum greater than the whole of the parts,” Fennell said. SEE FACULTY, 5

“We are not living in a vacuum,” Flory said. “The day that we put a moratorium on the anticamping ordinance, other cities, our adjacent cities, are going to flood this city with their homeless people.” Flory said that the issue with the homeless is a complicated one, and she is continuing to look for ways to improve the situation. She said that every week, she calls Shawn Nelson, the chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, concerning possible locations where homeless shelters can take root. Councilmembers voted to delay their decision on a measure to adjust numerous city fees. The measure is scheduled to again be part of the public hearing section of the meeting on Oct. 15. Overall, the changes were estimated to add $550,000 to Fullerton’s adopted budget. One change increases fees related to false fire alarms, and another seeks to recoup the costs of state-mandated fire department inspections in multi-unit housing structures.

Maureen Gebelein, director of the Fullerton Public Library, asked for increases in fees for library services. These included raised fees to use the library’s meeting rooms, and a $1 charge for expired holds, which were previously free. “People will place 20, 30 or 40 holds and never come and pick them up,” Gebelein said. The council also took time to recognize the Cal State Fullerton basketball program. They presented a certificate of congratulations to men’s head coach Dedrique Taylor and women’s head coach Daron Park, both of whom officially joined the Titans in April. Whitaker said that basketball is one of his favorite sports because it was “a religion” in the Midwest, where he grew up. He acknowledged that the team is in a rebuilding phase and he does not expect success right away, but is optimistic about the future. Taylor emphasized the goal of making his student-athletes grow off the court in addition to improving as players. “We’ve got some really fine

DAILY TITAN

OCTOBER 2, 2013

The stories we love are born from the characters we love, where would Breaking Bad be without Walter White, or The Walking Dead without The Governor? An intriguing antagonist is what separates a good story from a bad one said Michael Berlin, a 25-year television writing veteran who has written for crime dramas from Miami Vice to Missing Persons. Berlin gave a seminar on his body of work and the insight he has gained from it at the Ruby Gerontology Center on Tuesday morning. To break into television writing, Berlin suggests writing a spec script for a well-liked show–essentially making it a calling card to TV production studios. Berlin’s spec scripts got his food in the door, and eventually he was writing episodes for Cagney & Lacey, Hunter, Diagnosis: Murder and other shows. Using an episode of Diagnosis: Murder, Berlin discussed a compelling character he had

created where the main antagonist was a murderous therapist. Under the law, if a patient admits imminent intention to murder another individual, the therapist is obligated by law to report this information to the authorities. The therapist in Berlin’s script used this law to murder his wife and blame the murder on his patient. “If you have bad guys who you just hate, thats a Rambo movie,” Berlin said. “Its not interesting.” As Berlin notes, a writer cannot simply create a purely evil character who lacks any sort of humanity. The murderous therapist is introduced as a welcoming and understanding individual who is willing to help patients relieve their mental woes, thus making him likeable. It is a natural inclination for a writer to make the hero of the story an exemplary individual driven to impact the story by any positive means, but this makes for a flat, unexciting hero. Heroes need to have fatal flaws in their characters, and the antagonist emerges as the ideal individual to exploit these weaknesses. These flaws cannot simply be attributes that make the char-

acter to who they are, these flaws must take a role in the story later on, Berlin said. “I lay out every story beginning, middle and end. I know every beat, so when I come to the end, before I even write ‘fade in,’ I’m going to back to

“Good writing is the art of misdirection.” Michael Berlin Writer

that story and I’m going to put things in that are going to pay off an hour later,” Berlin said. Berlin notes the way the Coen Brothers approach a story: the trick is to write the story into a corner, then write a way out of it. The best stories are the ones where both the audience, and initially the writer, cannot figure out a way to paint themselves out of the corner. “Good writing is the art of misdirection,” Berlin said. For example, if two individuals were having a conversation on the Cal State Fullerton campus, they would not include the name of the campus in their

conversation, because the individuals know they are speaking on the campus. However, if a woman walks by wearing a CSUF sweatshirt, the audience knows where the conversation is being held, Berlin said. Yet even with flawed characters, subtle misdirection and a self-referential story, a script for a TV episode can fall flat if it fails to capture the audience attention in time. The opening two minutes are the most important part of a TV episode, because if the show cannot capture the audience in those two minutes, it’s unlikely the audience will stick around. For crime dramas, the cold open can be an effective tool to capture an audience. “We learn to write in a way where the cold opening is right in the middle of the case, and in the middle of the most exciting moment in that,” Berlin said. Berlin has made a career by writing individual episodes for a variety of shows, without needing to be part of the actual staff. Using the critical elements of a strong hook, flawed characters and a self-referential story can bring would be writers one step closer to writing a TV episode and getting a foot in the door.

DTBRIEFS Obamacare takes effect SARA HIATT

Enrollment in Obamacare began Tuesday as part of the Affordable Care Act exchanges set forth after Obama’s health care legislation. Most American’s are unaware of the exchanges and even fewer of uninsured are aware of the exchanges, according to CNN. Americans must enroll in the program by Dec. 15 in order to be insured by Jan. 1, 2014. American’s wanting to become insured should go to HealthCare.gov to start their application for coverage, however California has their own health care exchange and Californians will be directed to Covered California in order to enroll. Those wanting to sign up will be required to supply information about their family, including household income, whether their current employer provides insurance and if they are a smoker. Tobacco users may pay more for coverage. Assistance during the enrollment process is offered through live chats, as well as traditional help hotlines.

Plan funds public services HELENA REED

House Republicans have been relentless in developing a new plan to reopen some of the most popular parts of government that have been shut down, according to the Los Angeles Times. Votes were cast Tuesday to fund Veteran services and the funding of national parks. The proposal was led by House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and his leadership team. Despite efforts from Republicans, Democratic leadership aides did not seem interested in their proposals. As lawmakers prepared to vote on reopening certain parts of the government Tuesday, Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) explained to the LA Times that “the IRS was last on the list, and the EPA was right above it.” It is uncertain if Democrats can block this new strategy by Republicans as the pressure of the public heightens to reopen government.

Robber causes lockdown SARA HIATT

A suspect was still at large Tuesday night following a bank robbery in East Long Beach Tuesday afternoon. The Long Beach Police Department responded around noon to the Farmers & Merchants Bank near the 2300 block of Bellflower Boulevard, according to the Orange County Register. The sole robber, who was able to remove money from two teller drawers, is described as a Hispanic man in his 50s. The man was wearing a bandana covering his face, as well as a black hat and grey clothing. Witnesses did not see weapons during the robbery, but said he had plastic wrapped, covering his hand which may have been used to hide a weapon. The robber threatened to kill the tellers if his demands were not met. Officers searched a nearby apartment with a canine unit, but were unable to find the suspect. Prisk Elementary School and Stanford Middle School, both schools near the bank, were on lockdown for more than an hour following the robbery.

Works of art created by Cal State Fullerton students will line the walls of the Titan Student Union during October. The annual exhibition, which includes canvas painting, jewelry and pottery, will span a three-part gallery as part of a competition funded by Associated Students Inc. Aimee Sones a visual arts faculty member, and Ed Sullivan, Ph.D., the assistant vice president to the office of Institutional Research and Analytical Studies, will judge at this year’s event. Cash prizes ranging from $100 to $250 will be given to the winners. Currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students from all majors were eligible to submit artwork for the show. The purpose of the student art gallery is to give students a chance to participate in an exhibition on campus and be acknowledged for their artistic talent, Kim McKinnis, Titan Student Union gallery exhibition coordinator, said. This is the first year McKinnis has worked with the gallery and hopes the display will expose CSUF students to a vast array of art mediums taught at the university. “Hopefully some students will be inspired to take an art class as their next elective,” she said. Over 50 entries of various mediums were submitted for this year’s art show. McKinnis was especially happy to see entries from the English department, as well as from business and economics.

The items on the list are easily accessible to the rest of the population; however, when a person is deployed, they do not have easy access to such items. For example, baby wipes can be used to help clean their faces when water and soap is unavailable. Students are welcome to drop off items in University Hall, 230 and McCarthy Hall, 130.

All types of artwork were accepted, “Our only requirement is that it fits in the case,” Carol McDoniel, associate director of the TSU, said. Students began to show their art after the 1992 renovations to the TSU left walls lacking on the second level. The art show was established to showcase student work as well as decorate the newly remodeled TSU. The TSU Art Acquisition Committee was created in 1990 to build upon a permanent collection of student art work for the enjoyment of building guests. The Arts Inter-Club Council (AICC) attends the annual

show and chooses four to five pieces each year to add to the TSU collection. Submissions are purchased for up to $500, based on materials, with all money going to the student artist. “I like adding to the permanent collection. I think that’s exciting because we have very interesting, eclectic collection on the walls of the TSU,” McDoniel said. “You can take a walk and see art from 20 years ago. We are going to add to it a little bit every year.” Student art work makes up the majority of pieces lining the TSU but commissioned offcampus submissions are also featured.

Both monetary and nonperishable goods will be collected until Nov. 1. Monetary donations will go toward helping fund shipping fees. When the collection is completed, both veterans and scholar volunteers will help pack the items. Those who have children are encouraged to bring them along. Children will be able to enjoy ice cream and participate by creating cards to be sent with the care packages. Alyssa Chavez, a business major and a member of Student Veterans Association, along with several of her Del-

ta Zeta sorority sisters will contribute by writing letters to the men and women deployed. Although Chavez is not a veteran, she wanted to become involved. Last month Chavez and her sisters also sent out letters to members of the military. Shipping will take about four to six weeks and are expected to arrive between Thanksgiving and Christmas. For more information or questions, contact Veterans Student Services at (657) 2788660 and at University Hall, 230 or President’s Scholars located in McCarthy Hall, 130. Any students interested or wanted to support military members can join the Student Veterans Association.

Veterans and student volunteers pack donated items to send to troops overseas.

While the event will be coming to a close Nov. 1, the three student galleries of the TSU will be open for submissions for those interested in doing an individual or group showcase. Gallery space is commonly available for up to six weeks. Students interested in presenting their work are encouraged to contact the art gallery coordinator. McDoniel also advocates the use of the student gallery for masters projects under all disciplines. Plans to extend the show into a semi-annual event are in motion.

Janet Perez, director of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, said offering more difficult courses online could pose a major stumbling block. “We also have to consider which courses we offer,” Perez said. “When you offer ‘bottleneck’ courses online, students are going to have a harder time passing that course.” The Online Education Task Force focuses on providing funding for online classes. Mason said that CSSA is trying to decide if funding for online education is still something to be pushed for––this form of learning is not for everybody. Despite concern, some students have had success with online courses. Victoria Gomez, director of College of Humanities and Social Sciences, took an online discussion class consisting of 20 people. A small group like this proved to be very successful. “It’s great if its done right,” Gomez said. “If the professor does a great format, it will be pretty effective. I was reluctant to take it at first, but it was nice and smooth and I learned a lot more than I expected.” CSSA also launched a new communication tool for board members. A website has been developed to help board members brainstorm between meetings, discuss different issues that are affecting them and share any information and ideas to other members. This online tool is meant to open communication, and make it easier for board members living throughout the state of California to contact each other. Student leaders will also have access to the Associated Students Research Database. This is an online compilation of documents that are public for stu-

dent leaders to share, acting as a tool to help members as they continue their years in leadership positions.

US needs an official language An official language will help immigrants learn the culture of the United States IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

In every corner of the country, the English language is on display whether it be on billboards, dinner menus or stop signs, the language dominates any aspect of written word in the country. Although English is commonly spoken in the United States it is not the country’s official lan-

guage. In fact, the country does not have an official language. However, the U.S. would be better off if it was. Spanish is the official language of Mexico but it is commonly spoken in the United States as well, particularly in Southern California and other states bordering Mexico to the south. However, those states do not allow the popularity and pressure of the second language to replace the dominant English language. While it may be viewed as discriminatory for the U.S. to officially declare English as its official language, it can be seen as a

positive for the future. The U.S. is an escape for many immigrants around the globe looking for a fresh start in a leading nation. These new immigrants should be required to learn English in order to earn U.S. citizenship which will benefit them in the future of succeeding in the nation. By declaring English as the official language of the country, it will lessen the population who do not have a strong hold on the language. For companies who hire plenty of immigrant workers, problems

can arise in the workplace among employees who do not have a great understanding of the language. By declaring an official language, it will potentially lower the frequency of these issues. The language barrier in the U.S. has been a detriment in recent years. According to the 2000 census, 21.3 million people were classified as “limited English proficient,” which is approximately 8 percent of the country. A language barrier can continue to be detrimental to immigrants who will encounter limited job opportunities since the majority require a lot of interpersonal communication. Without an official language, immigrants have little incentive to properly learn the English language. Although people will find ways to succeed through their lives without being proficient in the English language, the dec-

laration of an official language will prompt them to learn it. It can help ease their adjustment to American civilization. Immigrants who are on the path to becoming U.S. citizens would benefit greatly from learning the country’s official

“21.3 million people were classified as ‘limited English proficient.’” language which will ultimately improve communication throughout the whole country. A popular misconception that comes into question when debating whether or not to declare an official language is

that people will be forced to give up their cultural heritage. Having to learn a new language does not have to stop someone from practicing their traditions. While people do have to follow the laws in the U.S. when they move here, there’s nothing wrong with people speaking their native tongue and practicing their native culture. The United States has become a melting pot. A nation where the different cultures around the world spread their traditions to create a truly unique experience for people of any heritage. The inclusion of English as the official language will not jeopardize this image of the country, but aid its citizens for the future. If the U.S. is willing to lawfully make English the official language, immigrants will enter the country even more ready to take on the world.

Children are still being left behind Education reform needs to help teachers and students, not hurt them CHU-LING YEE Daily Titan

DEANNA TROMBLEY / Daily Titan

Workplaces often have language barriers between employees who are not proficient in English and customers.

Although the deadline for No Child Left Behind is not for another year, education advocates have been decrying its failure for several years. No Child Left Behind was a piece of legislation enacted during the Bush administration as an attempt to raise student learning and address the achievement gap between white students and students of color. The vision of No Child Left Behind painted a pretty picture, but the execution was off. David Hursh, professor of teaching and curriculum at the University of Rochester, said the act would require students to be assessed by standardized testing starting from grades three to 11. The main concern of education experts is that standardized testing emphasizes memorization of test preparation strategies and doesn’t encourage actual learning. Students spend so much time in the classroom preparing for an exam that it takes time away from creative projects, discussions and other engaging activities designed to foster critical thinking and stimulate intellectual curiosity. Even with the amount of time spent preparing for standardized tests, national results show the

United States still lagging behind other industrialized nations. According to The Atlantic, the United States ranks 31st in the percentage of students performing at the advanced level in math. With such dismal scores, one must question why standardized testing is being used to measure student achievement in the first place. In a report by Mother Jones, Kristina Rizga uncovered that students who were performing below proficient were still making A grades and getting admitted to four-year universities.

“... student achievement may not be accurately measured based off of standardized test scores alone.” Cases like these reveal that student achievement may not accurately be measured based off of standardized test scores alone. What’s alarming is that a student who performs well in all metrics but standardized tests might feel discouraged after seeing test scores that do not reflect his or her actual ability. This could cause them to give up and consider dropping out of school altogether.

Rizga points out as well that the pressure for districts to perform on par has resulted in several instances of cheating, where teachers erase students’ answer sheets and fill in the correct answers in an attempt to inflate test scores. Schools that consistently score below proficient face decreased federal funding, possibly putting them at risk of closing their doors. With teachers who best know how to deal with at risk students working in inner-city schools, closing schools with a negative designation could have dire consequences for students from needy backgrounds wanting to go to college. Under the No Child Left Behind Act students are expected to be proficient in reading and math by 2014. A total of 41 states and the District of Columbia have requested a waiver from the act, which would exempt them from using certain standardized testing requirements and will allow them to propose new methods that will address the achievement gap. The number of states requesting waivers suggests that No Child Left Behind has created unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles states must now deal with while doing nothing to address student achievement. Instead of creating nightmares for teachers and school districts, it’s time for policymakers to make education a real priority and fix the policy that has devastated education for the last decade.

The limits of love to be tested A four member cast will take on a 20 character play in Almost, Maine BRITTANY CURRIE Daily Titan

The various dynamics of love are explored in Cal State Fullerton’s second play Almost, Maine. The playwright centers around the relationships of 20 characters in a small, quaint town in Maine. Almost, Maine opens Friday, Oct. 4 at the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana. “The show is perfect to go laugh and cry,” said Melissa Booey, an acting major and cast member of Almost, Maine. Although there are a 20 personalities in the play, only four actors will encompass the entire cast. Each performer will play up to five characters and an overall of nine love relationships. The play will show each student’s acting versatility since multiple roles require them to portray various accents, attitude and stage presence. Almost, Maine, which originally premiered at Portland Stage Company in 2004, became the best-selling show in the organizations history. Since its beginning, the play broke box office records and has won numerous awards. The play written by John Cariani, focuses on various stages of an intimate relationship. It describes the characters’ involvement in new relationships, heartbreak and struggles in a marriage. Almost, Maine is a fictional, small, unorganized, mysticallike town located in the middle of the forest with a population of around 100 people. It’s set in present day, during the dead of winter, and snow has fallen. All of the characters are friends who are noisy and know everyones business. “The play is also very metaphorical, its uses a lot of metaphors to explain how a relationship can be,” Kari Hayter, director of Almost, Maine, said. “These characters are trying to articulate themselves and they are doing it through these metaphors.” The romantic comedy uses literary devices to convey the characters’ emotions, such as a girl carrying her broken heart.

The characters’ relationships are tested with dramatic elements and some have happy endings. A scene called “Getting it Back” shows a committed relationship tested to extremes. Two characters of the play, Gayle and Lendall, risk a seven year relationship when they find out they have conf licting views on marriage. Relationships, love, romance

and feelings is the strong appeal for the audience. Each scene shows real life circumstances that are relatable. Anyone who has had a relationship in their life will be able to connect to the characters and the various situations they come across. As the cast has been preparing for the last four weeks, they have taken the opportunity to learn from each other. They

watch each scene and critique one another’s performances. Since only four cast members act they even practice wardrobe changes. The play is set in the dead of winter, the cast has multiple layers to put on. Although the play uses only two benches as its only props, stage manager Andrew Cristin said it’s simple, but “they definitely fill the space.”

Using only two props helps the audience really focus on the performers. The scenes and moods are transformed by the different lighting and moving of the two benches. The play is a little under two hours and will be running for the upcoming weekends until Oct. 19. Tickets are $10 at the door and $5 with an advanced Titan discount.

The fact that the actors all had to remain on stage throughout the entire performance was no easy task either. There were no costume changes or additional hair and makeup touchups. The actors never had a chance to step off stage and regroup.

Fennell said he is always examining which parts of the program will improve individual performances and how much should be practiced during group rehearsals to fine tune and balance the final sound. One of the pieces that have been under careful examination is Symphony No. 1 “Hearts Reaching Upwards,” written by Grammy Award-winning CSUF professor Bill Cunliffe. The song is in dedication to former faculty member and trumpet player Mark Garrabrant, who passed away three years ago. Cunliffe, known for his work as a jazz pianist, took scraps from a wind symphony piece Garrabrant wrote years ago to create the 35-minute musical dedication. Sunday’s performance will be the song’s debut. The composition’s second movement is comprised of a trumpet solo from faculty member Kye Palmer, one of the ways Cunliffe wanted to represent Garrabrant’s musicality. The concert will begin with Gustav Holst’s Hammersmith. The haunting and dramatic piece is one of Holst’s later compositions and is among Fennell’s favorite pieces. Fennell juxtaposes the heavy introduction with Richard Strauss’ “Serenade Op. 7,” a lighter, more operatic march. Finally, Roberto Sierra’s “Fandangos” closes out the first set of songs. Following Sierra’s composition is Steven Bryant’s “Radiant Joy,” an American bebop composition. The concert closes with Cunliffe’s dedication. Despite working with the University Wind Symphony for more than two decades and performing at Meng Hall since it’s opening in 2006, Fennell said he still gets nervous over unresolved problems before the show. But at this point, Fennell said that he has to let go of those issues and focus on making “a presentation that will be energetic, exciting and rewards for the audience.” Meng Hall is considered one of the best performance spaces in Orange County, not only because of its warm echoed acoustics, but also the visual style of the concert hall. The concert starts at 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6. Tickets can be purchased at the box office for $10 or $8 with an advance Titan discount. minimal, it complimented the theme of play. The costumes depicted the era as well as various personalities of the jury. The men were properly groomed, with a 1960s side comb over hairstyle, while the women all wore appropriate feminine dresses. The play successfully captured this era with their fantastic costumes. The actors had to learn to speak with a New York accent over a conventional dialect spoken in the ‘60s. With the help of dialect coach, Anne James, the cast of Twelve Angry Jurors pulled off a natural and f luent dialogue. The acting chops of the performers helped build tension and conf lict throughout the play. The actors displayed realistic reactions that were raw and convincing and not forced. This made it much easier for the audience to connect with the jurors on a personal and intimate level. The play included a balance of suspense, anticipation and humor. Although the plot was dark with clashing personalities, it remained lighthearted and enjoyable to watch. Twelve Angry Jurors runs until Oct. 20 at Hallberg Theatre. Tickets can be purchased at the Performing Arts Center box office for $11 or $10 with advance Titan discount.

Orangefest rocks “Locals Only” brings Pacific Dub, Terraplane Sun and White Arrows NEREIDA MORENO Daily Titan

A musical takeover will occupy Cal State Fullerton’s Becker Amphitheater on Oct. 4 as part of the second annual Orangefest. The Associated Students Inc. Productions hosted event is exclusive to CSUF students and members of the CSUF campus community. The fall music festival themed “Locals Only” will feature three live bands including Pacific Dub, Terraplane Sun and White Arrows. The theme was chosen to reflect Southern California’s summer good vibes.

In addition, free food and giveaways from various vendors and food trucks will also be available on site for attendees. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and towels to enjoy the show. Danielle Manifold, Fall Festival/Spring Concert coordinator, said the musical guests will reflect the same model as the previous Orangefest which included reggae, indie-rock and electropop acts. All three bands performing are from Southern California and have played various music festivals in Newport and Huntington Beach. Terraplane Sun is a selfdescribed “blues, indie-rock, folk, dance, soul,” group from Venice Beach. The Southern California natives have opened for popular in-

Faculty Jazz Group covers Miles Davis Professor to play original composition inspired by the album Birth of the Cool ERICA MAHONEY Daily Titan

The Meng Concert Hall will soon be reverberating with the cool sounds of jazz legend Miles Davis played by Cal State Fullerton music professors. The annual Faculty Jazz Group will perform sets of Davis’ quintessential album Birth of the Cool Tuesday, Oct. 8. Birth of the Cool released in 1957 by Capitol Records, is a compilation of three previously recorded sessions by Davis. “Cool” is used to describe a particular style of jazz music, which is softer and smoother than its contemporary counterpart bebop jazz. Miles Davis spearheaded the cool jazz movement, which integrates classical music and involves a wider variety of instruments. The Birth of the Cool album has been recognized as one of the most important pieces of cool jazz and the album that put Davis on the map.

“As a trumpet player, I’m playing Miles Davis’ parts ... it’s just fun to place yourself in there and play these things that I’ve listened to so much over the years.” Chuck Tumlinson

Director of Jazz Studies Chuck Tumlinson, director of jazz studies and music professor, said the album’s recordings were taped in the late 1940s at the rise of the era of cool jazz. Usually played in nonets (a nine-piece), this new style is “the best of both worlds” Tumlinson said, compared to big band jazz composed of anywhere between 12 to 20 mem-

bers, while other classic forms of jazz might only involve five. Tumlinson is looking forward to the performance and commented on how much fun last semester’s faculty performance was. As a jazz history professor, he appreciates the significance the album holds and how special it can be to perform it. “As a trumpet player, I’m playing Miles Davis’ parts … it’s just so fun to place yourself in there and play these things that I’ve listened to so much over the years,” Tumlinson said. Bill Cunliffe is the leading faculty member of the jazz group. He conducts the Fullerton Jazz Orchestra, the Fullerton Jazz Big Band and the Fullerton Latin Ensemble. In addition to his role as an instructor, Cunliffe is also a Grammy award-winning musician who has been well received in the world of music. He won a Grammy in 2009 for Best Instrumental Arrangement for “West Side Story Medley,” and was nominated last year for Best Instrumental Composition for his Overture. Other faculty members performing Tuesday include Kye Palmer (trumpet), Joey Sellers (trombone), Luther Hughes (bass), Ron Eschete (guitar), Paul Kreibich (drums), Chris Bartz (alto saxophone) and Jeff Ellwood (tenor). Student musician Glen Turner will also play among the pros on the baritone sax. Cunliffe said in addition to the group’s Birth of the Cool covers, the performance will also include compositions inspired by the album, as well as an original piece by Cunliffe himself. The song was written in dedication to the late Andy Simpkins, a bassist recognized as one of the greats in the jazz industry. Cunliffe said he wrote the song a few years ago and named it “Sweet Andy.” The Faculty Jazz Group plays together once a year, and Cunliffe has taken part in it since his start here at Fullerton, seven years ago. Don’t miss this chance to hear Davis’ album played live by Fullerton’s most talented musicians. The concert starts at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Tickets for the annual Faculty Jazz Group are $13 with an advanced Titan discount and $15 at the door.

ETHAN HAWKES / Daily Titan

Small restaurant, deep dish ETHAN HAWKES Daily Titan

Nestled away in a shady looking strip mall is possibly the best deep dish pizza parlor in the state. Tony’s Little Italy isn’t a new joint. It’s a cozy modest hole-inthe-wall mom and pop shop with a statue of an Italian man standing out front. If it wasn’t for Yelp, this place could be easily dismissible as just another Italian restaurant with outdated awards plastered on the windows. Fortunately, looks can be deceiving and the out-of-date awards can still carry weight as their deep dish pizza is top tier. Upon opening the to-go box, the take-out pepperoni deep dish looked like a giant unappetizing pool of cheese and grease surrounded by crust. But remember, looks can be deceiving. Skeptical of deep dish as I ever was, the first bite was an instant delight of everything terrible, yet delicious at the same time. The sheer weight of the pizza can be felt almost instantaneously in my stomach. Deep dish isn’t for the feint of heart, that’s for sure.

Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of deep dish, even despite trying some in its birthplace in Chicago. But this was better than Chicago’s. Initially, I can’t tell what caused this conversion. Was it the absolute disregard of all health concerns and concentrating on putting all of the tastiest ingredients into one arteryclogging pie? Probably. Digging into this messy and highly lubricated pizza would be a treat to anyone with savory indulgences. The melted cheese combined with perfectly seasoned sauce is the crux of the entree, but the surprise standout is the crust. When the cheese impeccably cooks crispily into the crust, it creates an almost stuffed crustlike effect, which makes the last bite of every slice end on a high note. Speaking of slices, it’s nearly impossible to eat one slice without being full. I bit the bullet and finished a second slice and soon afterwards skipped dinner and was still satisfied by the end of the night.

Tread lightly when dealing with deep dish. Tony’s Little Italy not only serves deep dish pizza, although they would probably do just fine if that was all they served. The menu also offers regular pizza, pastas, salads and sandwiches. I opted for the less deadly route on my next visit and took my chance with Tony’s Special Salad. Turns out the special part about it is that it treads the line between a salad and a meat and cheese bowl covered in vinaigrette. There’s no doubt that the salad was good, but it wasn’t amazing. The additional slices of ham and provolone cheese were welcome, but at the end, I didn’t feel any healthier than I would eating anything else on Tony’s menu. At least the minimal vegetable pieces that were there were crisp and tasted fresh. Diving into the pasta side of the menu, yielded slightly disappointing results. The baked mostaccioli with meatball banked more on being a pile of grease covered in cheese. The sauce tasted bland with

the melted mozzarella and the meatball at least satisfied my hunger. It wasn’t particularly bad, it just was a let down after eating one of the best deep dish pizzas around. As far as price, this place isn’t exactly cheap. At about $13.50 the 10 inch deep dish pepperoni is reasonably priced considering one piece could replace an entire meal. (Don’t tell your doctor I said that). The salad was about $6.50 and the baked mostaccioli comes to about $9.50. But even at a high price for college students, the portions are generous and Italian food typically lasts a while in the fridge before spoiling. Tony’s Little Italy is a delightful gem in Placentia. The homely pizza parlor vibe, complete with a cocktail arcade machine, gives the idea that their food is made with love and not on a sterile assembly line. If you’re in the mood for greasy, rich and delectable deep dish pizza, you can’t go wrong. Just be cautious if choosing to stray from the main attraction as the rest seems to be hit or miss.

CSUF aim for first Big West win CSUF volleyball looking to climb in the conference standings this weekend ALLY FITZGERALD Daily Titan

After losing to No. 6 University of Hawai’i in Honolulu this Friday, the Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team fell to 0-1 in conference play and 7-6 overall. The team will be playing two home games this weekend against UC Davis and Cal State Northridge on Friday and Saturday respectively. Both games are Big West Conference matches and will be held in the Titan Gym beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday and 6 p.m. on Saturday. The Titans will head into Friday’s match having lost their three previous games against USC, American University and University of Hawai’i. This losing streak was preceded by one win and one loss and the team’s dominance in the Fullerton Classic where they were undefeated with a record of 4-0. The team lost their game against Hawai’i in three sets on Friday. Hawai’i was defending its 2012 Big West Conference championship title in front of more than 7,000 Rainbow Wahine fans. This win gave Hawai’i an impressive record of 12-1 on the season and a No. 6 ranking nationally. Though they were ultimately defeated, the Titans put up a noble fight during last Friday’s game. Notably, junior Leah Best, and seniors Bre Moreland and Leah Hensley led the Titans with six kills each. Freshman McKenna Painton also showed her value to the team by having 10 successful digs. In this Friday’s match against the UC Davis Aggies, the Ti-

tans will be competing against a team with an overall record of 8-6 and an away record of 2-2. The Aggies lost their recent game against Northridge by one match. The Aggies were lead by junior Victoria Lee and senior Devon Damelio, who had 15 kills and 16 kills respectively. Notably, Davis senior Jenny Woolway, a setter, had 41 assists in the game raising her career total to 4,013 assists. Woolway was the first player in Aggies’ history to have more than 4,000 assists. Prior to this game, the Aggies had a three-game winning streak against Cal State Bakersfield, UC Berkeley and Toledo. In this Saturday’s match against the Cal State Northridge Matadors, the Titans will be competing against a team with an overall record of 10-3 and an away record of 3-1. The Matadors had five players with double digit kills during their game against the Aggies. Sophomore Cieana Stinson lead the team with 19 kills. Matadors Mahina Haina and Casey Hinger both had 15 kills, while Sam Kaul and Natalie Allen both had 10 kills. A team record was also set by Allen, who had 13 digs in the game. The Aggies match with the Matadors was the first game in the Big West Conference for both teams. The game was held at Northridge and was the first time the Matadors were victorious in a Big West opener held at home since 2006. The Matadors’ win on Saturday against the Aggies was preceded by a loss to top seeded Washington, which snapped the team’s four-game winning streak. Since the Fullerton Classic in early September, the Titans have only played once in Titan Gym against American. The Titans will be signing

Titans and Niners rivalry moves to ice CSUF and Long Beach set to face off on the ice in a thrilling weekend series TAMEEM SERAJ & ANDY LUNDIN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton ice hockey team set their sights on their arch rivals, the Long Beach 49ers, for a weekend home and home series. The Titans are looking to bounce back from their heartbreaking first loss of the season to Loyola Marymount University last weekend where they unveiled their new uniform for the season. The new look sweaters are reminiscent of the old Mighty Ducks logo but with CSUF blue and orange and feature the Titans logo with Tuffy’s head directly over it and crossing hockey sticks in the background. The Titans bring a 3-1 record into the series while the 49ers limp into the weekend 0-2 and are looking for their first victory of the season. The first game will be a home game for Long Beach and it will be played at Lakewood Ice on Friday at 8:30 p.m. CSUF will be at home on Saturday with the match scheduled for 9:15 p.m. at East West Ice Palace in Artesia. The Titans are currently tied with LMU for first in the West

Coast Hockey Conference with matching 1-1 conference records. Long Beach State and Northern Arizona University have yet to play a conference match but will begin their conference campaign this weekend. Long Beach has had a Swiss cheese defense so far this season, giving up 18 goals in their first two matches against San Diego State. One major concern in the early part of the season for Long Beach is staying out of the penalty box. The 49ers have totaled 75 minutes in their two matches and have given themselves little chance to win. In comparison the Titans have only spent 33 minutes in the sin bin and thus have given up only five goals. Titan goaltender Brandon Heethuis returned from injury and played in his first game of the season in the loss to LMU and looked strong recording 20 saves. Heethuis owned a 5.11 goals against average last season and a 8-19 record with a .884 save percentage in a down year for the Titans.

the Titan’s in the season thus far with three each. Meanwhile, Long Beach’s offense has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals in the two games the team has played this season so far despite registering 76 shots on goal. Long Beach forwards Taylor Abramson and Elan Dunaev are tied for the team lead in points with two each and goals with one each, with Dunaev’s goal coming from the power play. Steven Strother and Corey Jones have split time in net for the 49ers and sport almost identical stats. Both netminders have 28 saves in the young season. Strother has an abysmal average of eight goals allowed while Jones has an almost equally horrendous average of 7.97 goals allowed. Strother’s save percentage is at a lowly .780 while Jones’ isn’t much more comfortable with a .800 save percentage. Long Beach has had an edge over the Titans throughout the last couple of years, having gone 8-5 against CSUF in the past three seasons. In the previous season, the Titans faced Long Beach State five times but the 49ers were victorious on each occasion but the Titans looked primed to end the losing streak.
