BOARD BUCKLES DOWN ON BUDGET

SAMUEL MOUNTJOY Daily Titan

Fullerton City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday to approve an agreement worth more than $15 million between the city and BNSF Railway about construction on a railway grade separation project. Four underpasses and three overpasses will be constructed along the railway, which runs through Fullerton, separating the grade on which automobiles and railcars travel. This is meant to reduce the number of intersection stops as commuters in cars must wait for long freight trains to traverse the intersection. This project is also intended to reduce use of train and vehicle collisions, and eliminate the need for trains to sound the horn as they pass through residential neighborhoods. It should also improve emergency response time by reducing traffic backup caused by trains. On behalf of Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson, Rose Casey, director of highway programs for the Orange County Transportation Authority, updated the council on the ongoing grade separation program at seven Fullerton intersections that will cause road closures when construction begins later this year.

ASI board discusses new CSU changes ANDIE AYALA Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton’s ASI Board of Directors held a meeting Tuesday to discuss the new changes coming to CSU campuses, which includes tobacco-free policies and uniform semester systems. These changes were encouraged by CSU Chancellor Timothy White and discussed by Associated Students Inc. executive vice president Katie Ayala during the California State Student Association (CSSA) meeting this past weekend and at the Cal State Fullerton ASI Board of Directors meeting. While requiring all CSUs to go on the semester system would facilitate easier transfers to CSUs, it would make it difficult for upperclassmen, who have been functioning under the quarter system, to adjust. Ayala, who attended both meetings, said there are both pros and cons to the move. “I’m very intrigued that they’re trying to push or at least the Cal States are all trying to be semester systems because I think that’s going to be a really big change,” said Jonathan Kwok, director for College of the Arts and member of the ASI Board of Directors. He added that, for once, all CSU students will be on the same schedule, and that he is interested to see how it will pan out. SEE ASI, 3

Gov. Jerry Brown speaks with reporters at the first Cal State University Board of Trustees meeting of the year in Long Beach on Jan. 22, 2013.

CSU partitions budget into five portions State money came in more than $370 million short of the requested amount DAVID HOOD & KEVIN BLACKBURN Daily Titan

The CSU Board of Trustees Tuesday weighed the impact of a potential fund expenditure plan based on Gov. Jerry Brown’s $125.1 million CSU budget in an effort to patch the cash-strapped California State University.

Last August, the board formally requested about $441 million from Sacramento lawmakers—an admitted overshoot to compensate for lost revenue—but only received $125.1 million, forcing them to only focus on the most dire programs like health benefits and operations. These expenses, called “mandatory costs,” will receive the most money, $48.2 million, allocated from the overall $125 million in the budget plan. According to CSU documents,

without funding for the mandatory cost increases, campuses would have to “redirect resources from other program areas to meet the obligations” of employee health benefits, operation and maintenance of newly-constructed space and energy. “Funding mandatory costs preserves the integrity of the CSU programs,” the documents state. Mandatory costs are expenditures each university must pay despite any monetary help appropriated by the state. Leonard Pettis, CSU chief of

plant, energy and utilities, said each campus has reduced energy usage by about 50 percent in the last 35 years to curb operational costs. But Assistant Vice Chancellor Robert Turnage said $48 million is only enough to cover this year’s most urgent needs. “The fact that we’re able to allocate the $36.2 million to this one-year increase doesn’t solve the problem,” said Turnage. “Because we’ve had five consecutive years of similar increases that we’ve basically been eating to the detriment

of our programs.” Of that $48.2 million, $36.2 million will go toward health benefits for employees, whose salaries have seen no increase or raise in at least five years. In 2009, faculty members had to absorb a 9 percent salary reduction and work furloughs because of a declining economy and curtailed budget. This year’s budget proposes a $38 million employee compensation package. SEE TRUSTEES, 2

LNE will be serving Strickly Vod at Becker Amphitheater thoughtful evenings, LNE deLos Angeles-based pop rock quartet will take the votes their album to their drink of stage of the outdoor venue choice—vodka.

KYMBERLIE ESTRADA Daily Titan

Music is deep. It travels through compilations of metaphors, similes and analogies; digging down and tugging on strings of emotions. Today, the Becker Amphitheater hosts Los Angeles-based pop rock band LNE to deliver just that, along with straightforward appellations. The quartet, made up of members Eleni Vorvolakos (songwriter/ vocals), Brandon Hillery (guitar), Kurt Blankenship (bass) and Nate Carter (drums), was formed at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood in 2006. “I took the Independent Artist program and one of my courses required me to get a group of musicians together to perform my original music,” Eleni said. Prior to LNE’s formation, Eleni worked with producer Andrew Roettger, better known as Versatile. She has also recorded with Leighton Meester of the CW’s Gossip Girl, landed two placements with MTV and ABC Family, and won school contests and awards. Although many bands may dedicate their music to ambient,

An album title like Strickly Vod, released July 2011, shows an accurate depiction of the band’s freespirited attitudes. “Strickly Vod was born from many all day sessions that went into the night,” said Eleni. “That’s why I chose to dedicate the album to it (vodka).” The dark-haired, fringe banged frontwoman is often compared to Hayley Williams, the fiery redheaded vocalist of pop/rock band Paramore. Although LNE may lack vibrant colored hair and red carpet cleancut appearances, their defined extensive musical background speaks for itself. LNE uses power driven vocals over an ambient electric guitar, a melodic distorted bass and heavy hitting drums over a dark buzz-saw synthesizer. Strickly Vod features loud, in your face tracks as well as softer and more lyrically focused songs. Eleni’s musical influences consist of indie artists like Damien Rice, Florence Welch, Imogen Heap, Lights, Miike Snow and The Shins for their lyrical styles and electronic sounds. SEE UNSIGNED, 6

The money will be disbursed based on consultation with campus presidents as well as helping increase enrollments at smaller campuses who have the capacity to grow. The Board of Trustees approved a 5 percent increase of state-assisted enrollment for the sake of improving California’s economic recovery and workforce development. The board justified it based on burgeoning demands they discussed last November. Brown, an ex officio member of the Board of Trustees, who has been making appearances at the CSU Board of Trustees and UC Board of Regents meetings in the wake of the passage of Proposition 30, said one CSU president took a pay cut even though the school was offering more. He said the people with the biggest belts need to “tuck it in” in an effort to carry some of the budget burdens the system has recently been experiencing. “California has lots of needs for highways, corrections for schools, for childcare, but we can’t do everything,” said Brown. “Everybody has to get ready to make hard choices.” Also allocated from the $125 million budget is $10 million for online classes designed as a strategy to assist students in getting through “highdemand” courses, called “bottleneck courses.” Ephraim Smith, executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer for the CSU, said the online classes would take the form of hybrid in-class and online courses, as

well as massive open online courses, or MOOCS. Brown said these classes offer much more flexibility than other school systems and keeps the door open for more students to enter the CSU. “I do think this system has the opportunity to be the national leader in this online program,” Brown said. When questioned by Trustee William Hauck about the approach of putting bottleneck courses online, Smith, who once was the dean of Cal State Fullerton’s School of Business and Economics from 1990 to 1998, said the goal of online classes is not to make them easier, but to facilitate better atmospheres for students and faculty members. “(These are) different ways of providing technology to students we can improve pass rates from courses,” said Smith. “(It) keeps students engaged in a class, so this would be a major section of how the money would be used. “Our goal is that we would come up with multi-campus solu-

FDA to include images of smokers on cigarette packs The U.S. government will no longer require the labeling on cigarette packs to depict the dangers of smoking or encouragement of smokers to quit, according to USA Today. Instead, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will create labels using images of diseased lungs and the sewn-up corpse of a smoker, according to a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder obtained by the Associated Press. The government had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review an appeals court decision upholding the ruling that the requirement violated First Amendment free speech protections. Tobacco companies argued that the proposed warnings went beyond factual information into advocating anti-smoking. The government, however, argued the images were factual to make known the dangers of tobacco. The warnings proposed by the FDA were to cover the entire top half of cigarette packs, front and back, and include the phone number for a stop-smoking hotline. The FDA did not provide a timeline for the revised labels Tuesday.

tions to be used by students across the system, not just on one campus,” Smith said. The last $7.2 million will be apportioned to help students succeed through initiatives aimed at reducing the time it takes to graduate to four years and improve graduation rates through more effective academic advising and better preparing first-time freshmen. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, also in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting, said he supports the governor’s budget plan for the CSU although he raised some concerns about some of the programs like Cal State Online. “I want to make the point that I’m supportive and I’m very enthusiastic and appreciative about the governor’s leadership on this and his willingness to put money where the spirit of his initiative is—I just want to make sure we do justice to that,” he said. The CSU Board of Trustees meeting continues in Long Beach on Wednesday.

Possible closure of Fullerton airport The Fullerton Municipal Airport (FMA) awaits a decision on its possible closure, according to the Orange County Register. The closure is in response to budget cuts caused by the congressional sequestration. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced 238 towers, including 14 in Southern California, that they want to close. The original list included airports that have less than 150,000 combined landings and takeoffs. Dennis Quinlivan, Fullerton’s deputy director of public works, is temporarily overseeing the city’s airport. “We received a letter from the FAA several weeks ago,” said Quinlivan. “Everybody is very anxious.” Though towers will be closed down, the airport is intended to remain open. There will be no communication from planes to the ground, so pilots will be responsible for watching out for other planes. “We are setting ourselves up for the possibility of a midair collision,” said Jim Gandee, president of the Fullerton Airport Pilots Association, in an interview with the Orange County Register.

The money will be disbursed based on market factors, the collective bargaining process and other items. CSU institutions received a record amount of applications for fall 2013, but due to budget constraints, had to turn away many eligible applicants. Applications rose about 7.8 percent last from year’s total to 314,100 individuals systemwide. CSU institutions also had to close the 2013 spring application cycle for most campuses.

Council Member Jan Flory looks to City Manager Joseph Felz after Fullerton Engineering Department Director Donald Hoppe’s presentation about location of the BNSF Railway.

TRAINS: Bridge project on track CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Parts of State College Boulevard will be closed for up to a year and a half, according to Casey. Donald Hoppe, director of the Fullerton Engineering Department, expects State College Boulevard to be closed for two years, and Raymond Avenue to be closed for two and a half years. “That’s wishful thinking,” Hoppe said of Casey’s conservative estimate. Hoppe explained that the design of some bridges were changed to reduce cost and because of their susceptibility of graffiti. Detour roads must be constructed, then removed once the project is completed, prolonging the construction timeframe. The agreement approved Tuesday with the railway authorizes the city manager, or designee, to negotiate the project at Raymond Avenue not

to exceed $14.1 million. The item also authorizes a negotiation not to exceed roughly $1.5 million at the State College project. Originally, the proposal was listed as a consent item, which are items that do not generally receive much discussion and automatically pass if nobody objects. Council Member Greg Sebourn recused himself from the vote due to a past business involvement with a subcontractor. Fullerton resident Sean Paden called this to the attention of the council and Hoppe acknowledged that this was a mistake. The $590 million O.C. Bridges project is meant to improve transportation infrastructure. In 2006 voters approved Proposition 1B, part of which allocated $186 million to the OCTA support grade separation projects. The project is funded by a com-

bination of state, local, and county funds, including funds from OCTA. “We have become accustomed to these very long trains and extremely long waits with these at grade situations. The grade separation is something that I think when it is completed is going to be a great benefit,” said Fullerton Mayor Bruce Whitaker. The cost at Raymond Avenue will predominantly be the payment to flagmen who caution traffic of project construction during certain hours. The project calls for a “shoofly,” a temporary railway along Valencia Avenue to divert rail traffic during bridge and road construction. Due to a railroad requirement the construction projects must take place concurrently, which will mean road closures. During construction on the State College underpass, car traffic will be diverted onto Acacia Avenue.

Bill to extend last call at bars Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) introduced legislation that may extend the last call in some California areas until 4 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Times. This bill would give cities the opportunity to ask permission from the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to extend serving hours. Leno said this legislation with allow cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego to begin expanding the nightlife. This could lead to benefits in the community by increasing jobs, tourism and local tax revenue. Leno found that the 100 top nightlife venues in the U.S. made $1.5 billion last year, 15 of those in are the LA area. Senate Republican leader Bob Huff, of Diamond Bar, said that this proposal will bring up a lot of questions including its effect on drunk driving rates.

CONFERENCE REVEALS WOMEN VETS’ HARDSHIPS

DTBRIEFS Supreme Court overturns copyright

ELEONOR SEGURA / For the Daily Titan Attendees of the “Women Veterans in Higher Education: Valor, Integrity and Service” conference listen to a presentation on homeless women veterans Tuesday.

The various issues facing women veterans in higher education, including the post-service transition back to civilian life, was the focus of a conference hosted by Cal State Fullerton’s Veterans Students Services in the Titan Student Union on Tuesday. Organizers of the event, titled “Women Veterans in Higher Education: Valor, Integrity and Service,” partnered with the Women’s Center and other organizations to assemble a discussion panel of female veterans. Catherine Ward, program coordinator for Veterans Student Services on campus, said the event is an effort to reach out to female veterans on campus and non-veterans who are interested in learning more about their experiences. Also featured was a screening of The Invisible

War, an award-winning documentary that investigates the under-reported epidemic of rape within the U.S. military. Ward said she got the idea to host a screening event of The Invisible War from her experience working with female student veterans at CSUF over the last several years. “I have seen the growing need to more publicly acknowledge and highlight women veterans in higher education and their contributions to our country, communities, and our college. They are a strong, accomplished and valiant group of women who have earned our respect and honor—I wanted to do something on a larger scale,” said Ward. Caitlin Boyle, founder and president of Grassroots and Community Screenings for Film Sprout, said she

often hears from survivors of sexual assaults in the military that the film played an important role in their own healing. The film has been screened at least 800 times at college campuses, military facilities and other community settings, Boyle said. “With all of these screenings, including the one at CSU Fullerton, the goal is to make the epidemic of rape in the military visible. The more the problem is exposed, the more our veterans, congress members and active-duty military can work toward a better culture in the armed services,” Boyle said.

ASI: New board salary structure will not affect students CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Harpreet Bath, vice chair of ASI Board of Directors, said the state government made a change to some portions of Title 5. These changes will require, in the case that ASI as a corporation dissolves, the responsibility of deciding where funds will go would transfer from the Board of Trustees to the president of CSUF and the chancellor of the CSU. The resolution was approved by the Board of Trustees and will be put on a ballot for CSUF students to vote on. ASI urges all students to vote in favor of the change during election season on campus, Bath said. The abstention policy, which was forwarded back to University

Affairs, included making changes to ASI bylaws and holding the Board of Directors, or members from different colleges, more accountable to their colleges, according to Bath. In the case that members abstained on a particular vote, they would have to state why they did so, added Bath. The policy is about accountability, Bath said, so if college constituents ever wanted to find out why someone abstained, they could look in the minutes and find out why. ASI President and CEO Dwayne Mason spoke about the closed session salary structure concerning Article VI, Section 8, Clause 5, discussed at the meeting for the 2013-2014 academic school year.

“I think that it’s something that we are required to do to be in compliance with state standards … and I’m glad that we’re able to get it passed,” Mason said. The new structure would not affect students—there would be no increase in tuition or fees, and it would use funds that are already available, Mason said. “It’s really just to make sure that we are in compliance and we are within the same salary brackets so that there’s not certain executive directors or certain full-time staff at different campuses not being paid fairly. It’s really just to comply with industry standards,” Mason said. “Our biggest goal as the student leaders here is to make it a more transparent process,” he said.

An Anaheim gang-member was officially charged on Tuesday with the attempted murder of a Fullerton police officer, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s office. Documented gang-member Marcos Allen Bush, 29, is being held on $1 million bail and faces a minimum of 60 years to life in state prison if convicted of the Sunday shooting. Just after midnight Sunday, a Fullerton police officer stopped a car containing two occupants. While looking through the dark tinted windows, the officer was fired upon at point blank range through the window, according to police. As the officer moved away from the vehicle, police accuse Bush of firing at the officer several more times, hitting him twice. Fullerton Police arrested Bush at an Anaheim apartment Monday with the assistance of the Anaheim Police Department. Bush is accused of fleeing police and disposing of a firearm and bullets during the chase. Bush is charged with a long list of crimes, including one felony count of attempted murder. He is also charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm on a police officer and possession of a firearm by a felon, among other charges. The officer was wearing a ballistic vest and is currently recovering in a hospital. The vehicle used in the shooting was located by California Highway Patrol about an hour after the shooting. Sjanee Duhart, 27, is accused of attempted to get rid of the vehicle to aid Bush’s attempt at escape. Bush was acquitted by jury two weeks ago of a gang-related attempted murder and carjacking charge. Brief by SAMUEL MOUNTJOY

The Supreme Court has given the foreign buyers of textbooks, movies and other products the right to sell them in the United States without the permission of copyright owners, according to the Los Angeles Times. Supap Kirtsaeng, a former USC student from Thailand, was sued by a publisher for violating their copyright protection by purchasing textbooks at a lower cost in Thailand and selling the books in the United States. A New York jury ruled in favor of the publisher, assessing damages of $600,000 for violation of copyright protection. The decision was turned around on Monday by the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in favor of Kirtsaeng. According to the Supreme Court ruling, Kirtsaeng had a better interpretation of the law because the holders’ rights become invalid when their product is sold overseas. This means that the copyright holder has a right to the profit of the initial sale but not the “resale.”

Officials propose ban on fire pits Due to health concerns for beachgoers, a year-round ban on burning fire pits on all Orange County and Los Angeles beaches was proposed by air quality officials March 15, according to the Los Angeles Times. The ban is to strengthen regional air quality regulations to meet stricter federal clean air standards for fine-particulate pollutants by 2015. Sam Atwood, spokesman for the South Coast Air Quality Management District, said the banning of bonfires is to create a healthier experience for those who go to the beach. He added that smoke contains pollutants and can cause cancer. City officials in Newport Beach are under pressure from homeowners, who said they are fed up with bonfire smoke. Homeowners asked the coastal panel for permission to remove all 60 fire pits — 33 near the Balboa Pier and 27 on a patch of Corona del Mar State Beach known as Big Corona. A public meeting on the proposal will be held at 9 a.m. March 28 at the air quality board’s headquarters in Diamond Bar.

Even though texting while driving is illegal in 39 states, a majority of drivers surveyed still admit they have used a cellphone while driving.

Cellphone laws can’t replace safe driving SERGIO GOMEZ Daily Titan

With the advancement in cellular technology it seems nowadays just about everyone from the young to the old has a cellphone. Everyone is on a cellphone either texting or talking to someone on the other end. There is an increased desire to communicate with each other at any given time. There’s nothing wrong with that, but the problem comes when people are using their cellphones when they aren’t supposed to, like when driving an automobile. In the past few years, there has been an increased effort to try to ban cellphone use while driving. From laws forbidding the use to increase media attention to campaigns by cellphone carriers like AT&T’s “It can wait” campaign. Despite this increase in prevention efforts, more Americans than ever are talking and texting while driving, a new study shows. Americans between the ages 19 to 64 are the highest offenders of using a cellphone while driving. According to research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70 percent of Americans in this age range talk on the phone while driving and 30 percent text while driving. America isn’t the only country where the increase in use is happening, but the numbers show that the practice is far more common here than anywhere else. Drivers in seven European countries were also part of the study and it shows that in each of these countries they were below the 60 percent mark. Although 10 states have laws that forbid the use of handheld cellphones and 39 have laws banning texting, people ignore the law and the dangers that come with distracted driving. States are doing all they can to try and prevent this from happening, but the burden to change falls on us. States can implement tougher penalties, but such deterrents haven’t completely stopped people from drinking under the influence, so

tougher penalties will not lead to decreased use while behind the wheel of a car. Ultimately is up to all of us to change. It only takes one second, one moment of distraction, to cause a potentially fatal accident. According to AAA, more than 80 percent of drivers say distractions are a serious problem and they make them feel less safe on the road. Nearly half of these same respondents said they feel a lot less safe now than they did just five years ago. Estimates suggest that 16 percent of all fatal crashes stem from distracted drivers; around 5,000 deaths each year. The National Transportation Safety Board has already urged states to ban drivers from using any type of device while driving. They even want to ban hands-free devices including Bluetooth headsets, which may be asking too much but the burden falls on us at least limit the handheld device usage. Cellphone manufacturers have implemented driving modes on their phones to try and prevent people from using their phones, but not everyone uses these modes. It is time for us to really start taking advantage of these modes and drive safer. Driving modes allow you to use some of your phone’s features that are important in a safe and easy manner without the use of your hands to limit the distractions you may face while driving. These features can read text aloud to you, you can send a text by just talking, they answer phone calls for you and put them on speaker or if you have your phone set up to your car via Bluetooth. The thing is cellphone manufacturers can only put them on your phone and it is up to you to actually use these modes. They can lead a horse to water but can’t make it drink. It is up to you to make a change and use these modes or not use your phone at all. Next time you’re in a car, think twice before you reply to that text or answer that phone call, it only takes a second before that can be the last thing you see—the last words you say. Be smart. Be safe.

When did privacy become a public burden? The birth of privacy laws were meant to protect citizens from being exposed—literally in their own homes. It was to ensure your medical and financial information remained confidential as well as protecting civilians’ right to be left alone. But the metropolitan lifestyle has forever changed the perceptions of privacy; it has become the forefront of discussion. Before there were large cities, there were towns. People knew each other by name in these towns. As you aged from a child into adulthood, your demeanor and your long-term, earned reputation was vital to your success. People talked face to face and did not hide behind screens. Anonymity is a byproduct of industrialization. As cities grew, people lost their identities. However, if people were recognized for their actions it became an “invasion of privacy.” Technology has given us the opportunity to become two different people. When our alter-egos become revealed, it becomes an issue.

This is an episode of schizophrenia by definition: Intellectual deterioration, social isolation. When you step foot out of your front door, you are in public. For the same reason we have the right to assembly and the right to press, you have the right to remain silent. Why are people so afraid to be held accountable for their actions? Don’t say things you don’t mean. Educate yourself before you open your mouth. Don’t have private conversations in public, because, well, you’re in public. Leave personal matters for behind closed doors, as has been for thousands of years. There is a reason why our founding fathers used to board up the windows and the doors before meeting in secret to discuss the future of the nation. People can be malicious regardless of your intentions. Do not fuel the fire. The recent acquisitions regarding Google is no different. The hype behind Google’s new product, “Glass,” is another act of paranoia. All of the features that are deemed an invasion of privacy are readily available on our smart phones. Voice recording? Video capture? These aren’t new. It is just as easy to push record on a smartphone and slip it in your pocket. Scott Cleland, a consumer watchdog and advocate against Google coined the term “glassaraz-

zi” in an interview with Marcus Mabry for the New York Times. These methods of surveillance were treated as safety measures as anonymity grew. Chivalry became a dying trait because getting away with something was easier. Since we lost the trust system that was forged over the course of millennia, we relied on monitoring services. Every business was encouraged to protect their assets by 24/7 surveillance.

When our alteregos become revealed, it becomes an issue. Protection bred privacy. Privacy bred paranoia. Why are people so afraid of being recorded in public? Is everyone under the influence of a narcotic or smuggling paraphernalia in midst of a commute? It seems as if people have mistaken technology for a cloak and become masked crusaders. Nothing is more frustrating than watching people complain and continue to make the same choices. If

you disagree with a product, stop using it. You have the right to assembly. Collect people and protest or boycott. If enough people stop using a service, that service will collapse. As consumers, we hold a lot of power, yet we don’t know what to do with it. Having said that, private business The 5 Point Cafe in Seattle, Wash. hits the nail on the head by being the first bar to preemptively ban Google Glass from its premises. David Meinert of 5 Point Cafe stated in an interview with Huffington Post that the ban was, “to be funny on Facebook and get reaction.” Meinert did exactly what should be done in a private institution. Having strong belief in the privacy of his patrons, he banned the entry of Google Glass into his establishment. This is the raw power of consumers. If enough private business owners agree with this notion, Google Glass will not be accepted in private businesses. This once again coincides with the concept of public versus private. When you are strolling through the mall or sipping on your chaitea mocha latte in a local Starbucks, you are not in public. You are in a private institution. Said institutions also have their own surveillance systems. Are those invading your privacy as well? Or are they protecting you.

The right to speak to an attorney, sometimes Loopholes prevent the poor from getting proper legal counsel in civil cases RICARDO GONZALEZ Daily Titan

You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present at questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided to you at government expense. This is a portion of a person’s Miranda rights. While one would typically only hear them while being arrested, these words have seeped so deeply into pop culture that it’s difficult to imagine someone not being to recite at least part of them. That last half in particular—the right to having a lawyer despite not being able to afford one—feels especially comforting to anyone overly-paranoid concerning being falsely accused; of being run down by “the system.” After all, in the United States, we’d like to believe that money should never get in the way of having a fair shake at a just trial. And while the “Miranda warning”—set down in the 1966 case Miranda v. Arizona—really applies to clarifying one’s rights prior to the trial process, a case with similar goals actually ensured these legal rights three years prior. March 18 marked the fifty year

anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright. In it, it was established that Americans who lacked funds to pay for a counsel of their own right would be provided one to provide their defense in court. This came at the end of a long legal battle where the defendant, Clarence Gideon, was forced (despite petition) to defend himself in court against a noncapital criminal offense. It eventually led to Gideon’s conviction. When his case eventually went before the Supreme Court, it was evident that the idea of a layman defending himself because of financial deficiency was something needing to be nipped in the bud. Yet 50 years later, it seems Gideon v. Wainwright no longer applies to those who need it most. A recent study released by Legal Services Corporation (LSC), the government’s organization established to provide lawyers to the poor in civil cases, revealed some fairly troubling statistics. First and foremost, 60 million Americans currently qualify for their services; a 35 percent increase from 2005. Furthermore, based on statistics provided by a survey of judges, LSC surmises that as much as 80 percent of the legal needs of the poor go unmet. In short, an overwhelming majority of the less fortunate are left to defend themselves in a court of law. Several factors have contributed

In short, an overwhelming majority of the less fortunate are left to defend themselves in a court of law. to this, but again the worst of this comes from a legal loophole that specifies that Gideon v. Wainwright does not apply to “civil matters.” Civil matters include home foreclosure cases and trials involving job loss. So in what one might describe as the cruelest of ironies, the case set down to ensure the poor don’t have to defend themselves because of their financial status does not even apply to cases that affect that financial status the most. One could assume this to be a fair shake. Gideon v. Wainwright was a criminal case—its aim to keep the poor out of jail because of incompetence and without the ability to make the often-lofty bail posted. This is undoubtedly a necessity in today’s society that aims for “justice for all.” But that does not dismiss the fact that it appears as if the law has failed to adjust to an age where these civil matters happen at a much higher frequency and in which they can still end with the defendant in jail. A New York Times article

named two cases in particular where, though Gideon v. Wainwright would logically apply, this absurd loophole went into effect. In the case of Bill Jerome Presley of Georgia, he spent over a year in jail because of a failed child support payment—Presley had never had a criminal record prior to that. In New Jersey, an 89-yearold Walter Bloss was evicted from his apartment of 43 years because of a domestic dispute. Both men were defending themselves in “civil matters,” thus neither had a lawyer. It is time to turn an eye towards these “civil matters,” and start thinking about applying these laws to them as well; it’s out of date and it’s backwards to ignore the obvious shortcomings of our legal system. Whatever real rationale for the current practice, we need a precedent to establish America truly as a bastion of the “fair trial.” Because we cannot claim “liberty and justice for all” when a projected 48 million people go without a proper shot at either.

TV’s Top 10 Best Dressed

MATTHEW PIER Daily Titan

KYMBERLIE ESTRADA Daily Titan

Dressed in retro polka dot dresses, high-waisted acid-wash denim pants or lavish high-end couture, these lovely ladies of past and present television shows stole America’s hearts, while women everywhere attempted to steal their style.

Carrie Bradshaw

Lucy Ricardo

She stole America’s hearts with her devious humorous stunts on the popular sitcom I Love Lucy. And she did it all in style. She paved the way for the classic put-together Stepford Wives look. Her pleated mid-length dresses, pinpoint collars, kittenheeled slingbacks and dainty pearl necklaces exemplified the perfect ‘50s housewife. The kooky retro housewife captured millions of viewers with her, even in black and white, tangerine-tinted hair.

Rachel Green

There are two things in life that never get old and that’s pizza and Friends. Unlike most shows that can become repetitive and played out, a Friends re-run never disappoints. In addition to the comedic cast, a pintsized blonde always kept viewers glued to the screen. Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, embodied the decade most college students today grew up in. She defined “the girl next door” with denim overalls, crop tops and floral mini dresses. Rachel kept a cool, effortless look that came to define the ‘90s.

Mary Tyler Moore

This ‘70s single working woman, star of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, transitioned the hippie and mod vibe to a corporate look. She embraced her independent, career-driven role in the workplace in masculine, yet colorful pant-suits. Mary’s ‘70s chic wardrobe was emphasized in earthy-colored vintage dresses, fur collars, patterned blouses and flashy jewelry.

These fashionistas have influenced generations of style-seeking hopefuls

You can’t name iconic women in fashion without mentioning Miss Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City. She quickly set the rules while at the same time breaking them. She took loud avant garde pieces off the runway and made them her own in the streets of New York. Carrie’s high couture outfits, such as her signature pink tank top and white tutu, has influenced a parade of fashion devotees.

Blair Waldorf

New York’s Upper East Side’s favored villain. This high society princess, played by Leighton Meester, was the root of most of Gossip Girl’s drama. Blair always put a spin on her private school uniform. Her tailored, structured pieces showcased her conservative, classic, refined style. Outside of school, Blair always knew how to put on a show with her luxurious coats, hints of color and of course her daring, mix and matched hair accessories.

Serena van der Woodsen

It was difficult to draw up a list without mention more than one leading lady of Gossip Girl. Serena (Blake Lively) played Blair’s arch nemesis and, oddly, her best friend. Unlike her Upper East Side conservative frenemy, Serena’s style was bohemian and relaxed. Although, Serena mostly opted for a good pair of jeans and boots, she always stunned viewers with a mini-dress and designer pumps that showed off her best assets: her fit body and slender long legs.

Denise Huxtable

The definition of “cool.” Denise Huxtable, played by Lisa Bonet of The Cosby Show, made a style of her own. She rocked cultural, bohemian, rocker and even menswear. Denise’s wildchild, care-free attitude was showcased in her ‘80s urban wardrobe. The natural beauty pulled off any look. She made harem pants, also known as MC Hammer pants, acceptable in everyday wear. The nosepierced rebel pulled off any hairstyle,

including a pixie cut, laid-back curls and long dreadlocks.

Jill Munroe

Hilary Banks

The television series Charlie’s Angels sex symbol sported her signature voluminous blonde feathered curls that women have only dared to imitate. The athletic private investigator, played by the ultimate blondebombshell Farrah Fawcett, ditched the padded bras and revolutionized the high-waisted bell bottoms. Playing alongside the born and raised west Philadelphian Fresh Prince, Hilary was queen of Bel Air in her always fashion forward and flawless attire. Hilary, played by actress Karyn Parsons, was the chic shopaholic in her wannabe career woman attire. Hilary always had her way in fancy outfits, expensive hats and peep toe pumps. She covered all bases of fashion from oversized menswear to sexy cocktail dresses, from hip bohemian pieces to dainty patterned dresses, this daddy’s girl had it all.

Digital blood has become more popular in the U.S. as violent video games dominate the market. The video game industry has been around since Atari released Pong in 1972. Since the days of low bit graphics, video games have collectively grown into a billion-dollar industry that is now part of mainstream media. As technology and graphics have advanced, so too have the games themselves. Executing an enemy fighter in Mortal Kombat II on an early ‘90s Super Nintendo looks very different than on an Xbox 360 today. In 1994, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) was created to inform the public of specific video game content. ESRB reviews a game’s content before sale, and assigns it a rating. All video games sold today have one of the following labels: Early Childhood (EC), Everyone (E), Everyone ages 10 and up (E 10+), Teen (T), Mature (M) and Adults Only (AO). These can be found on the front of video game boxes, along with a description of the game’s content on the back. For example, games with an “M” rating—suitable for those 17 and older—can contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language. However, major retailers and video game stores like GameStop and Walmart require the customer to either be at least 17 years old or be accompanied by someone who is. Marcie Beltran, 23, an employee at GameStop’s Chapman Avenue location in Fullerton, explained how youth still gain access to these games.

“We do not sell M-rated games to those underage,” said Beltran. “I get about three or four people every day that I inform them of the game they are buying for their 8-yearold may contain blood and gore and sexual content, and they just buy it anyway.” Of the top ten video games sold in 2012, half of them, including topselling military shooting game Call of Duty: Black Ops II, were rated M for violence, according to the NPD Group. Oddly enough, of the 1,218 ratings assigned by the ESRB last year, only 9 percent received an ‘M’ rating. This shows that even though mature games are not the bulk of the industry, they dominate the popular market. Prior to 2009, no more than three M-rated titles made top-ten sales in any year. That number doubled by 2011. The increase in mature games also seem to correspond to video game critics. The aggregate ratings of Metacritic.com, a site that compiles reviews from industry critics, show that that in addition to an increased number of violent games cracking the top-ten sales list, half of the top critically-acclaimed games also fell into this category. Even with this segment of the industry being so small, its immense popularity manages to gain attention within mass media. Violent video games get their share of blame for tragedies that occur in the real world.

Courtesy of ESRB After the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D – West Virginia) introduced a bill for the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to study the impact that violent video games have on children. The negative effects of violent images on the mind have been well documented. A 2012 study from Ohio State University showed that habitual playing of violent video games over a three day period increased “aggressive behavior and hostile expectations.” Kids can become aggressive when they cannot have what they want. This can lead to them finding other means to get it. “How to Buy M Rated Games,” an 11-step guide to help underage customers obtain violent video games, appears on wikiHow.com. It suggests methods such as renting the games rather than buying them, or ordering them online and lying about your age since no official ID check is required. With the changes to more mature content, the real trend in the industry may be a shift in audience. Video games are no longer just for kids—in the future, they might not be for kids at all.

Kelly Kapowski

Another contender to add to the list of ‘90s fashion icons is none other than Saved by the Bell’s high school sweetheart, Kelly Kapowski. Unlike Rachel from Friends who played a woman in her mid and late twenties, Kelly influenced a generation of high schoolers with her signature hairstyle and high-waisted acid-wash jeans. Her style can still be seen today in the form of floral prints, crop tops, fringed bangs and high waisted cut-offs.

Meng Hall morphs into musical Mecca CHRISTINA BENAVIDES Daily Titan

More than 200 performers will transform Meng Concert Hall into a dynamic musical mecca Saturday night. Cal State Fullerton instrumental and vocal student ensembles will surround the audience as they share a continuous 90-minute performance that includes music ranging from jazz to classical. “This is non-stop music making. No time for applause in between and one piece blends seamlessly into the next. Literally continual sound for the entire event,” said Wind Symphony conductor Mitch Fennell, Ph.D. The concert will be sponsored by Morningside Retirement Community, a place for active and independent seniors, with an intent to raise money to provide scholarships for music students. Clint Marsh, who oversees marketing and outside sales at the community, has been involved with planning the event. He said that building a great relationship with Cal State Fullerton is important to the center. Several seniors who used to work at CSUF currently live at Morningside and have had a big influence in developing a relationship between the university and the retirement center. “Residents enjoy the arts, we enjoy the arts, and Cal State Fullerton is a neighbor of ours. ... We love to give back where we can,” said Marsh. The University Wind Symphony along with several other ensembles will perform music from previous events as well as pieces that they have been working on. The concert will hold a continuous, yet diverse sound. During the concert, one may hear about six minutes of the Wind Symphony, followed by three minutes of a string quartet, followed immediately by a choir, solo voice or jazz quartet, said Fennel. He described it as “a true collage of sound.” A variety of genres blended seamlessly into one program. Attendees can look forward to fun and traditional pieces such as a Jimi Hendrix melody from the jazz orchestra and a Georges Bizet piece from one of the choirs. While the average length for each performance will last anywhere from three to eight minutes,

this concert will be different from others since the audience may not face the stage or have time to applaud after every piece. The Collage Concert will require attendees to not only sit back in their chairs and enjoy the show, but to also glance around as they will be surrounded by ensembles from every conceivable level in the hall. “It is so unique and different than anything that we in the College of the Arts produce,” said Michael August, Music Department production coordinator. “It’s not like a play, it’s not like a musical, it’s not just like a general concert that we put on. It’s a one time experience that we put on every year.”

“It’s a huge range of different styles and that’s what makes it really neat for the audience.” DR. KIMO FURUMOTO Orchestra director

Orchestra director Kimo Furumoto said the Collage Concert is even special for those performing because it is the one place where several ensembles get the opportunity to come together and hear what everyones else is doing. “It’s a huge range of different styles and that’s what makes it really neat for the audience, it’s that you get to hear all these different things in just one program, different kinds of sounds from different ensembles,” Furumoto said. The Music Department is one of the best kept secrets of our campus, said Fennell. The Collage Concert will be a wonderful experience for all music lovers and a great first experience for those who have never attended one of the music department’s events. Attendees will get a glimpse of the department’s musical variety. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $20-$25 and can be purchased online or in-person through the box office.

In contrast, the guys of LNE bring more hard-hitting alternative musical tastes to the stage such as Tool, Incubus and A Perfect Circle. “But we all seemed to agree we like Muse,” said Eleni. “Which is why we cover two of their songs, ‘Hyper Music’ and ‘Hysteria.’” Although each band member incorporates their own elements into the songs, Eleni is the heart and soul of the band. A song first starts with a synth idea or lyric from Eleni or LNE’s

“Nels took my notebook and wrote one line in it: ‘Not all is but not all is well,’” said Eleni. “And I ran from there. The song completely morphed into something new.” The album takes a smooth R&B detour with “Superstar.” It’s catchy and mellow, but mixes in just the right amount of Vod for their fans to appreciate. LNE’s first single “Dressed in Black,” was nominated for Best Music Video at the 21st annual Los Angeles Music Awards in 2011 and featured on Fuse on Demand. “Dressed in Black” takes a dark

turn to the typical breakup song. Lyrics like “a wilted rose and a crack in the mirror, could it get any clearer,” which in transparent pop culture translates to “we are never ever, getting back together” (ehem, Taylor Swift). The unsigned band, who independently released Strickly Vod, continues to manage its own band inquiries and promote its own music. The band will perform Wednesday at noon at the Becker Amphitheater. Strickly Vod is available for digital download on iTunes, Amazon and CDBaby.

Five tattoo taboos unveiled SIMA SARRAF Daily Titan

The popular body art trend in the form of tattoos is something that has gained acceptance in mainstream media. Once a taboo, the artwork is now seen on everyone from musicians, models and even doctors and lawyers. Sometimes people like to keep their art under cover for fear of giving off the wrong impression, but their worries of what others will think may soon sink away. The various false impressions and ideas about tattoos are clarified here. 1. In the past, only criminals, bikers and sailors were tattooed

Although tattoos are obviously more common today than they were in the early and mid 20th century, many men and women of that era were in fact tattooed. Tattoos may not have been socially acceptable, nor were they common by any means, but they did in fact exist outside the rungs of sailors, criminals and circus freaks. 2. You’ll regret them when you’re older

This is a parent’s favorite line, and perhaps it will prove true for some, but definitely not for all. Getting a tattoo, the experience as a whole along with your long-term feelings about them, will vary from person to person. There are many people who have been getting tattooed their entire lives. Now with barely any room left, they continue to find space for new trinkets of art.

producer Nels Jenson, said the frontwoman. “If the guys vibe off of what I’ve started, we go forward with it. It’s awesome to see all the walls come together,” Eleni said. Tracks such as “Will She Pull Through,” a crowd favorite, shows the trickling musical framework between the four band mates. “Will She Pull Through” started off as a simple acoustic guitar arrangement by Hillery, and turned into a musical collaboration between the band mates as Eleni began to hum a melody.

In fact, by the time this generation is through their last quarter of life, tattoos will likely be even more common. They will be something that this generation grew up with, and the sight of old people with tattoos will not be strange or even thought about. In the same breath, it should be said that there are often cases of carpe diem gone wrong. Those spontaneous midnight tattoos that are decided over a case of beer or some encouragement from a friend can be quickly regretted, covered or removed. The suggestion here is simple. Know yourself. If you tend to regret small things in your day-to-day life, it seems likely that you’ll regret such a permanent mark. Try a henna tattoo and see if you like the look of some body decoration before you commit, it will be much cheaper and far less painful! 3. No one will hire you because it looks bad

This is a very fine line to walk, but it is manageable. Tattoos have become more accepted not only in mainstream society, but in the professional world as well. The myth here is that employment is impossible when it’s not. Be mindful of your body art, and don’t walk into an interview flaunting your sleeves (the term used to describe an arm covered in tattoos). Be professional first and let them see your talents and abilities before they see your art. Observe your surroundings and use your best judgment about wheth-

Today tattoos are not only common, but more accepted by mainstream society.

er short sleeves that show your art will be okay with the company. Younger generations are now growing up with the mentality that tattoos are not in fact limited to those from “the wrong side of the tracks” thanks to their popularity in markets like modeling, fashion and the entertainment industry. 4. You obviously didn’t think this through

Contrary to popular belief, when you see someone who is covered with tattoos, don’t assume that they didn’t think about what they were doing. In fact, a lot of people that are heavily tattooed think long and hard about each and every piece. Everything from size, placement, color and the meaning behind it can be thought about. Naturally, tattoos can represent everything from hobbies, passions and moments in someone’s life. To assume

that someone’s tattoos were reckless or thoughtless is far from reality. 5. You will be stuck with them

Technology has improved not only the condition of getting tattooed, but the quality of the art and the after care as well. With the more sterile and professional conditions, infections and shared needles are not something that is dealt with in a modern tattoo shop. Ink colors and qualities have also improved, contributing the longevity of colors in artwork. As much as technology has improved the quality of tattoos, it has also helped with the possible regret of them as well. Laser tattoo removal is now readily available. Although the cost and pain may be greater than the original purchase, you can rest easy that an exlover’s name or drunken ink endeavor can be forever removed.

ROBERT HUSKEY / Daily Titan

Marcia Foster addresses the media in a press conference after the Titans were eliminated from the Big West Tournament by Pacific.

Athletics Department to conduct national search for basketball head coaches The current era of the Cal State Fullerton Athletics Department continues as it announced that it has embarked on a national search for both men’s and women’s basketball coaches. In a statement sent out Tuesday evening, it was announced that Head Coach Marcia Foster will not be returning to the women’s basketball team after the expiration of her contract. The department will be conducting a national search for a new coach. “We would like to thank coach Foster for her time and efforts during her 10 years here at Cal State Fullerton,” Director of Athletics Jim Donovan said. Foster recently led the Titans into the semi-final round of the Big West Tournament for the first time since the 2008-09 season. She accumulated a record of 49-79 (.368) in four years as head coach of the Titans, and has been with the university for a decade. A similar statement was released regarding the men’s basketball team on Friday. The department will also conduct a national search for a men’s head coach, for Interim Head Coach Andy Newman will not keep his position. “We appreciate Coach Newman’s hard work and stewardship for the past eight months,” said Donovan. Newman took over as interim coach in June of last year after former Head Coach Bob Burton resigned. Newman led the Titans to a 14-18 (6-12 in conference) record this season.

Brief by JUSTIN ENRIQUEZ

The Titans outlasted the visiting Nebraska Cornhuskers Tuesday in a four-hour affair, extending their winning streak to six games. Catcher Jared Deacon drew a bases-loaded walk on a full count with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning against Nebraska relief pitcher Josh Roeder. It was a fitting ending for a game that Cal State Fullerton Head Coach Rick Vanderhook called “one of the ugliest games I’ve ever seen.” CSUF committed a season-high five errors, including three in the first two innings by shortstop Richy Pedroza. Titan starting pitcher Koby Gauna, who entered the contest with a 2-0 record and an ERA of 1.83, allowed six runs (three unearned) and ten hits. “He was throwing a barrel-seeking fastball tonight,” Vanderhook said. The Huskers (6-12) wasted little time to silence the 1,531 at Goodwin Field, scoring four runs in the top of the second inning, highlighted by two of Pedroza’s errors. “I told him to start catching it,” Vanderhook said of his normally sure-handed infielder. “He was getting frustrated with himself, and you know, that’s not the way he should play, and he’s better than that.” The Titans (17-3) managed to answer back in the bottom of the third with their own four-run inning, scoring on a pair of two-out, two-run singles by outfielders Austin Kingsolver and Michael Lorenzen. “I was just looking for a good pitch to drive, and found a hole,” said Kingsolver. “I put a good swing on it.” Kingsolver was starting just his sixth game of the season, and entered Tuesday with four hits in 25 at bats. A handful of Vanderhook’s regular starters were left out of the starting lineup to get some needed rest. “I started to feel a little more comfortable,” said Kingsolver. “I’ve been

playing a lot more lately, so it’s all about just seeing the ball and getting your timing down.” Nebraska designated hitter Michael Pritchard shot a two-out RBI single back up the middle to temporarily put the Huskers back on top in the top of the fourth, but the Titans took their first lead in the bottom of the inning. CSUF second baseman Keegan Dale hit a sacrifice fly into foul territory down the left field line to tie the game, and then Pedroza capped a nine-pitch at-bat with a two-out, go-ahead single to give put the Titans ahead 6-5. Nebraska would tie the game in the top of the fifth with a sacrifice fly of their own. The Titans loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh inning with nobody out, but only managed to score once. After Michael Lorenzen was hit by a pitch to force home the tie-breaking run, Nebraska Head Coach Darin Erstad brought in relief pitcher Dylan Vogt, who managed to set the next three Titans down and escape the jam with the score remaining 7-6.

In the top of the eighth, a throwing error by Deacon on a Nebraska stolen base attempt by right fielder Austin Darby put the tying run just 90 feet from home plate. Darby scored when third baseman Josh Scheffert singled into left field, tying the game at seven. There were a pair of opportunities late in the game for the Titans to bring home the winning run. Kingsolver smacked a triple into the right field corner with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, but was stranded at third base. In the ninth inning, Lorenzen was left on second when pinch hitter Carlos Lopez grounded out, sending the Titans to extra innings for the first time this season. Kingsolver led off the bottom of the 11th by being hit by a pitch, and after stealing second, J.D. Davis worked a walk. Kingsolver stole third base to give pinch hitter Matt Chapman a golden opportunity to win the game, but Nebraska shortstop Bryan Peters robbed him of a hit with a leaping catch. With runners at second and third

with one out following Chapman’s at bat, Lorenzen was intentionally walked to load the bases for pinch hitter Carlos Lopez. Lopez, however, popped out on the first pitch. It was then that Deacon worked a six-pitch walk, drawing ball four on a low and inside fastball to win the game. “I was seeing the ball good all night tonight, and I just wanted to get a good pass on the ball,” said Deacon, who finished the evening with two hits and two walks in six plate appearances. “Fortunately he walked me.” Perhaps the brightest spot of the night was the effort in relief of Titan pitcher Willie Kuhl. Kuhl, who had to enter the game in the fifth inning, pitched into the ninth inning and allowed only one unearned run while striking out eight Huskers. “Willie was just being Willie, throwing sliders in the dirt,” Deacon said. “They were just swinging at it, (he was) throwing it for a strike every time. That’s his slider, that’s what it does.”
