LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS

Incoming Editor-in-Chief Yvette Quintero YVETTE QUINTERO Daily Titan

When I was 14 years old, my journalism adviser approached me after reading one of my stories. He said, “You know, you could do this for a living if you wanted to.”

Since that moment, I have clung to the idea that journalism is my passion.

At Cal State Fullerton, I jumped into freelancing for the Daily Titan three weeks into my first semester of college. Here, I quickly gained the experience necessary to thrive in a university newsroom. I then joined the news desk as assistant for two consecutive semesters and last fall, I returned to my home in College Park 670 as features editor.

These past two semesters, it has been my goal to exemplify the student voice within the stories in the features section by providing a place where students can learn

about the campus, their professors and peers.

The Daily Titan staff has endured sleepless nights, hectic schedules, moments of desperation and various tests of creativity and innovation when scrambling around for content–all in an effort to provide readers with accurate, reliable and unbiased information.

At the same time, we have triumphed in fulfilling our responsibility as a news organization to highlight the student voice of CSUF. The Daily Titan has effectively informed the campus community in all related breaking, sports, arts and entertainment and human interest news during the last semester.

Whether it was finding a student with a first-hand account of the Boston Marathon bombings or following the Christopher Dorner manhunt, we delivered informational coverage that was timely and relevant.

As incoming editor-in-chief, I

am committed to lead the Daily Titan to excellence by improving its successes and redefining its failures.

It is my duty to continue to uphold the standard of excellence that this news organization adheres to. I will do my best to make sure that you, our audience, continues to get information that you need.

As an independently-run news organization, the Daily Titan is a nucleus of student expression. It is a forum for you the students to voice your input on important matters, college culture and your interests.

We will do our best to publish hard-hitting news stories, rivetting opinion pieces, engaging entertainment content, intriguing human interest features and in-depth sports coverage.

We encourage your input and participation, and I look forward to making sure your voices are heard and fairly represented on our pages in the coming semester.

Outgoing Editor-in-Chief David Hood DAVID HOOD Daily Titan

There are a lot of goodbyes that will be said in the next week from this staff, your friends and your family. But this isn’t goodbye from me.

This is a hello to the wonderful world that sits on fringes of this campus in little Fullerton, Calif.

There are no mournful goodbyes or regrets that will plague me or my time here at Cal State Fullerton and Hope International University after I leave.

There are only greetings to the next chapter here at this school and my future ahead.

But atop this perch on the sixth floor of College Park with a wonderful view of the south side of campus on Nutwood Avenue, I remember helicopters and SWAT members searching buildings on Dec. 12, calling the election for California’s 39th Congressional District for Ed dailytitan.com

Royce (R-CA) on Nov. 6 and the thousands of hours spent here sleeping and working alongside the most dedicated Titans on this campus who work daily, for you.

I am proud to have served this paper as a reporter, designer, editor and leader to bring you impactful and important news, thoughtful and informed opinions, student and faculty highlights in features, fun and interesting content in detour and the best and worst moments of Titan athletics.

When we’re at our best, rest assured you have the entire story.

There is a tradition in journalism which stems from the Civil War era of putting “–30–” at the end of every article, indicating all the information is there and there is nothing more to report.

We strive to metaphorically place, like a badge of honor, “–30–” at the end of everything we write, confident we have provided you all the information you

need and want to know.

I leave here now with a legacy of bringing you the most important stories written by the best student journalists and editors in Orange County. There is no alternative when it comes to news about this campus. Some may try, but for more than 50 years, the Daily Titan has stood as the primary source of news for your CSUF. The Daily Titan provides this community and family with neutral perspectives and a nuanced approach. Thank you for reading us; we have and always will be here for you.

As for me, I only hope and pray my work has been received well and appreciated because I have given this school–and my paper–my all. “... Her message is committed to hands I cannot see; for love of her, sweet countrymen, judge tenderly of me.” –Emily Dickinson.

Pros and cons of summer classes While many are taking the summer session off, other students are still in classes JULIA GUTIERREZ Daily Titan

ROBERT HUSKEY / Daily Titan

Members of a SWAT team storm the Cal State Fullerton campus after an armerd gunman ran into Mihaylo Hall on a December evening.

Remember the CSUF lockdown?

One Daily Titan reporter recounts his time during the December lockdown TIM WORDEN Daily Titan

When I’m old and my grandchildren—taking a break from playing virtual reality video games—ask what it was like actually going to a college that was not online, I’ll say that it was fine.

Except for one day, a cloudy day in December 2012, where being at a college campus felt like an active war zone.

It was certainly the highlight of my college experience, as I’m sure it was for many other students at Cal State

Fullerton.

I mean, no one can forget that classic meme: “Didn’t study for your 7 p.m. final? I got you.”

Or that one guy who pretended he was one of the robbery suspects on Twitter.

And you certainly can’t forget the three SWAT teams, helicopters and snipers congregating near Steven G. Mihaylo Hall for several hours.

As a reporter for the Daily Titan, many of my friends were on the front lines—taking photos and attending press conferences in the rain—to cover the so-called “CSUF Lockdown” (technically it was a shelter-in-place).

At our perch in College Park giving us a perfect vantage point into Mihay-

lo Hall, we turned off our lights so we would not potentially be targets.

A communications professor with us urged us to stay away from the windows just in case there was a shootout.

But professors are meant to be disobeyed, so we still peered out to see the SWAT officers clearing Mihaylo Hall.

Unfortunately a suspect got away, likely going through campus before police could set up a perimeter around the building, according to police and a reviewing of the security camera footage inside Mihaylo Hall.

Given the evidence, it seems likely that the remaining suspect may have turned right after walking through the Mihaylo lobby, toward the Eastside Parking Structure.

Six months later, he still remains at large.

But luckily no crimes were committed on campus that night, something the police captain who commanded police and SWAT teams that night, University Police Capt. John Brockie, told me.

He didn’t explicitly say it, but I got the feeling that Brockie was proud that students stayed safe under his watch.

The lockdown was a scary moment for CSUF students, but we survived.

In fact, we grew from it.

We bonded together and stayed safe, some of us lasting hours in classrooms with little food or water.

Whether we were holed up in the Pollak Library or watching police wielding M16s set up a perimeter around Mihaylo Hall, the lockdown will probably be immortalized for all of us who saw it.

“Back in my day …”

Finals are beginning and the sun is getting hotter.

It’s time for the beach, new tan lines and exciting summer festivals.

However for some, the excitement may be cut short by the realization that summer classes will be in session.

Although summer school is never anyone’s first choice, there is a lot of good—in addition to the bad—in attending.

Pros Getting ahead: Some students don’t realize at the beginning of their college experience that in order to “finish in four,” a student must take 15

For some, the excitement may be cut short by the realization that summer classes will be in session. units per semester. For those who are set on their expected graduation date but did not realize this early on, taking a few classes over the summer can help.

Instead of cramming in a ridiculous workload, take the edge off by taking one or two courses during the summer.

Taking a summer class online over the summer can also help lighten the load if a student has to work during their break.

Getting out: Graduating earlier is also a little easier if summer classes are taken.

If four years is still too long, students can speed up the process a bit by gaining a few extra units.

A handful of students to get lucky enough to graduate in three

years or less.

Some of these students began their tenure at Cal State Fullerton straight out of high school.

Making up a class: Failing a class is never a good feeling.

Sometimes students get lazy, have demanding jobs or simply struggle in a certain subject.

Through summer courses, students can redeem themselves by repeating a class they failed or did not do well in.

Instead of wasting time by repeating it in another semester, students can quickly get a dreaded class over with in just a few weeks.

Cons Expenses: Tuition is pricey! Even in the summer, school expenses can empty pockets.

According to Student Financial Services, part time (six or less units) undergraduate students must pay $1,587 to attend.

To be a full time student during the summer (seven or more units) it costs $2,736.

These prices do not include books or a parking permit. Going to summer school can keep students from being able to afford summer thrills.

Summer fun cut short: Beach trips, music festivals and destination vacations may all be out of the question for some students.

For those taking two sessions of summer classes or for those who are planning on attending full time, there may be less time available to do the typical summer activities.

Even if a student only attends school for the one summer session, there is still less time to play.

Lack of R&R: College is exhausting and everyone needs a break sometimes.

Without time to rest and recuperate, students may burn out faster during the fall semester.

Jumping from spring classes to a summer session may be taxing on a student’s stamina.

At the very least, students may want to take some time to recover from the spring and enroll in the second session of summer classes. dailytitan.com

Summer festivals prove refreshing

Music, art, fun activities and carnival attractions collide at music festivals CHRISTINA BENAVIDES Daily Titan

There is nothing like running through a field of grass on a summer day.

There’s nothing like sitting or standing patiently waiting for your favorite artist to come on stage and perform.

Music festivals are some of the most well-rounded, exciting escapes during the school break.

Music, food, a diverse crowd of people and carnival attractions can be expected at many, along with art displays and fun activities throughout the events.

Over the next few months there will be several opportunities to attend a music festival suited for those who are looking to get away from the student life and jump into the summer groove.

This June, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be transformed into an electronic dance music mecca, hosting Insomniac’s 17th annual Electric Daisy Carnival for the third year in a row.

The festival will feature more than 200 artists including big bill names like Afrojack, Above & Beyond and Tiesto.

Attendees can expect the traditional carnival-like experience with rides, theatrical performers, dancers and fire twirlers throughout the venue.

The lineup diversifies throughout multiple stages, covering all sounds from tech-house to trance, dubstep and electro.

A HARD stage will be featured with DJs A-trak, the Bloody Beetroots, and Boys Noize to name a few as well as other projects such as Richie Hawtin Presents enter. and Carl Cox & Friends.

Passes for the three-day festival are sold out but those who are planning a last minute trip can look for passes on eBay and StubHub where they are currently priced at about $400.

There will be a lot of dancing and festivities on the green fields of the Los Angeles State Historic Park in August.

The local venue will host two dailytitan.com

yearly festivals: FYF Fest and HARD Summer.

HARD Summer will come to life on Aug. 3 and 4.

The festival will hold an eclectic lineup with acts ranging from dubsteppers Flux Pavilion and Dog Blood to trap masters TNGHT and the much hyped rapper 2 Chainz.

According to an article by the Los Angeles Times, the festival will honor two progressive labels Ed Banger Records (Justice, Breakbot, Busy P and more) and DirtyBird Players (Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin, J. Phlip and more) by devoting two tents to them.

Two-day general admission passes are available for $139 plus service fees and Sunday single day tickets are still being sold for $79 plus fees.

FYF Fest is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with headliners My Bloody Valentine and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

The festival will be held on Aug. 24 and 25.

In addition to the headliners, many more must see artists are scheduled to perform including the dreamy indie duo Beach House.

Also on the lineup is psychedelic rock band MGMT, Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, experimental hip-hop group Death Grips and many more.

Single day tickets are sold out but weekend passes are still available for $99 plus fees.

On Sept. 7 and 8, Hip Hop festival Rock the Bells will also be celebrating their ten-year anniversary with Wu-Tang Clan, Kid Cudi, Dilated Peoples and many more.

In celebration, attendees will receive a special treat—the festivals website announced that it will feature “original virtual performances by Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Eazy-E.” The special performance can be deemed similar to the 2Pac hologram performance that took place at the Coachella Music and Arts festival last year.

The festival will be held at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino and two day passes are on sale starting at $165.

Apartment search simplified Graduating seniors who are staying in the area can look to apartments nearby LAUREN HARRITY Daily Titan

As another school year comes to an end and the class of 2013 readies to venture out into the “real world,” one of the first things they will need to find is a grown-up apartment.

Anyone who has gone on an apartment search can tell you how difficult it is to find an affordable one with good amenities and in the right neighborhood.

For those who will be staying in the Fullerton area, there a few apartment complexes to consider for your post-grad life.

Homestead

The Homestead apartments offer studios, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments in various layouts.

Each apartment features vaulted ceilings and large walk in closets.

The complex itself features four pools and three clubhouses for recreational activities.

The community is located near the 57 Freeway, just a short walk from the CSUF campus.

The prices are a little higher than the surrounding area.

“They’re great if you can afford the rent,” said Christina Dodson, 26, a CSUF grad student and resident of the Homestead.

Prices range from $1200 for the studio to $1800 for a two bedroom.

Homestead address: 1942 Deerpark Drive, Fullerton, CA

Lake

The Lake apartments also offer comfortable living in a picturesque setting.

This gated community features a man-made lake with apartment’s available right on the lake.

“They are at the foot of the lake, so just think like a beach home … it’s your patio then the lake right in front of it,” said Ashley, a manager in the leasing office at the Lake.

The community is set back from the main road on a cul-de-sac, meaning no loud street noises.

In addition to the lake, there is also a pool and a fitness center for residents and their guests. The

complex offers various layouts with differing proximities to the lake.

Prices range from $1040 for a studio to $1855 for a lakeside two bedroom apartment.

Lake address: 2800 Madison Ave. Fullerton, CA

Rose Pointe

The Rose Pointe apartments are a little further from CSUF, located near the 91 freeway in Downtown Fullerton.

“The area is safe, and there is always plenty of parking,” said Matt Samuels, a current resident.

For graduates looking to leave behind the college lifestyle, the Rose Pointe might be the best option.

Since it is removed from the campus area, many of the residents are not students. Loud parties are rare.

However, the complex is still close enough to enjoy a night out in DTF without having to worry about a long drive or traffic.

Rose Pointe offers one bedrooms starting at $1,270 and two bedrooms starting at $1,700.

Get physical at the SRC TIFFANY JOHNSTONE Daily Titan

From the pop and lock, to the jive and wail, whether you’re looking for an alternative workout or want to try something new, Cal State Fullerton’s Student Recreation Center offers a variety of dance classes.

Classes are $22 for a six-week period.

Alain Bourgault, group exercise and rock wall coordinator, says the sessions are different from drop-in fitness classes.

“You’re going to progress. You’re not just there dancing and working out like a zumba class. You’re going to learn how to tap dance. You’re going to learn how to do ballet and each instructor is able to work with you at your skill level,” Bourgault said.

Jacqueline Francisco, a belly dancing instructor at the SRC, said she has been belly dancing since she was a little girl. It has since developed into a passion. She agrees with Bourgault that the six-week classes are meant to be a learning experience. Students progress and sweat

along the way.

Francisco added that belly dancing is a confidence booster for women because it is a beautiful way to express oneself and learn about one’s body.

Additionally, at the end of the semester she gets her students together to have a little performance, where they can bring friends and family.

Nick Jenkins, swing instructor at the SRC, said he and his dance partner, Brooke, have been teaching the class for two semesters.

“The SRC is an up-and-coming good organization for these dance classes to take place in. They’re pretty good at providing advertisement for the classes, and they have great rooms for us to teach in,” Jenkins says.

He added that the classes are great for all skill levels.

“It’s really fun and it’s gaged towards mostly beginners, but we also can fit the class around more advanced levels too. And as we go on and assess the class, we teach based on how everyone’s doing,” Jenkins said.

JOHN PEKCAN / Daily Titan

Nick Jenkins, 21, a swing instructor at the SRC, guides a CSUF student through step-by-step choreography.

Sarah Lee, 21, a graphic design major, has been coming to the swing dance class for four weeks.

She said that because the instructors take you step-by-step through the choreography it’s easy to keep up and really enjoy the class.

“I would definitely encourage

people to go. It’s a great way to have a good time, but also exercise and expose yourself to new experiences,” Lee said.

Oscar Abreu, 25, a liberal studies major, said this is also his first semester taking swing classes at the SRC. Although Abreu has taken swing classes at a private studio, he prefers classes at the SRC because they’re inexpensive and he learns more from them.

“It’s such a small class that you get a lot more done because there’s not as many people. Everyone in this class has just been awesome so we’ve been able to get through a lot,” Abreu said.

Heather Gregory, a dance major and assistant to the Group Fitness and Rockwall Coordinator, helps with the hiring process of all of the

dance instructors at the SRC. “All of our instructors here are professional grade. They’re amazing dancers themselves and they really have a passion for dancing, so it communicates well when they teach it,” said Gregory. “A lot of our dance classes, like modern, jazz and ballet are taught by alumni of the dance program or people who are involved in it now.”

“It’s a cardio workout if you’re doing hip hop or ballet. You’re using inner core muscles that most people on the street wouldn’t even think about doing in their day,” Gregory said.

She said that the turnout for the dance classes have been increasing.

For instructor bios, dance class videos, class schedules and other information visit the SRC’s website located through CSUF website.

“I would definitely encourage people to go. It’s a great way to have a good time, but also exercise and expose yourself to new experiences.”

Nutrionist creates Facebook page to nourish readers Hayley Darby has turned her interest in nutrition into a way to help others TIFFANY JOHNSTONE Daily Titan

As a woman who radiates kindness, Hayley Darby created a Facebook page that has inspired thousands, encouraging them to be kind to themselves and to each other.

As a former model and current nutritionist, Darby’s experiences propelled her into health, teaching it to others and promoting happiness.

Darby’s interest in nutrition stemmed from a premature birth and dangerously low birth weight.

Naturally, her parents were concerned as she grew into a skinny child they pestered her to eat well.

She developed knowledge of nutrition to overcome pressure to consume foods she didn’t like, such as milk which her parents insisted on for calcium intake, so she searched for alternative food sources of calcium and began to educate herself on nutrition to gain weight healthily.

During her modeling career, Darby became frustrated about the number of girls neglecting their health in pursuit of weightloss, where nutrient deficiencies manifested in poor energy, lackluster skin and hair, and occasionally eating disorders.

As she tried to help girls with nutrition advice, she found it hard to rationalize dietary beliefs gleaned from the media. Realizing the poor levels of knowledge people had about nutrition, she decided to formally study nutrition and to educate and promote health and wellness.

“I gave up modeling to start studying nutrition in my early ‘30s. I knew my career was shortlived, and knew I wasn’t using my academic potential, it was a difficult transition ... but I’m glad I did it,” Darby said.

A highly valued aspect of her education was in the field of patient-centered communication skills, and Darby realized that development of listening skills was key to helping motivate patients.

She realized that compliance increased when patients first dailytitan.com

“She just speaks to my soul daily, I have to read her posts every day, and it’s almost like she knows what I’m going through.”

learned to value themselves.

They then could value their bodies.

This led to better eating patterns.

She also found a strong correlation between dietary choices and stress.

She developed an interest in relationships people had with food and developed her therapeutic skills.

“I think people need to be heard, and people need to be acknowledged for what they’re going through and have the feeling that someone understands them, or cares enough to try and understand them and appreciate what people are going through,” Darby said.

“I think what’s nice about the page is that it’s a resource for people ... sometimes people tell me they’ve spent an hour or so going through different albums looking for inspiration.”

HAYLEY DARBY Nutritionist

Once Darby sprung into her nutrition career, she started a

Facebook page to keep in contact with her nutrition clients even while she was on vacation.

In gaining more experience with her site, she discovered that Facebook is a better forum for motivation than information.

Darby began writing blogs on her site about how she felt when she woke up in the mornings.

Darby discovered that when she is feeling fragile, and she writes about vulnerability, the feedback from people is greater.

“I think that when people relate to each other then they can connect and people feel like they want to have input back, “ Darby said.

Darby includes quotations on the site about self-acceptance and powerful introspection for people to utilize.

One of the quotes on her site reads, “forgive others, not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.”

Lesa Owen, an avid reader of Pure Nourishment, says that the site feeds her spirit.

“She just speaks to my soul daily, I have to read her posts every day, and it’s almost like she knows what I’m going through … her outlook on life and the things she puts out there, is all so true, and my life has changed ... It’s changed the way I look at things, it’s changed the way I look at people. She’s one of a kind, she’s a gift,” Owen said.

Mindy Pino, another devoted reader, started going on Pure Nourishment because she admired the qualities she sensed in Darby.

“I feel like I like to associate with people are kind and loving and positive, so when I saw the kinds of things that Darby would write, and I saw how much she loved others and cared about

them, I just thought, I have to get to know this person, and I saw that she was coming to California, and I told my friends, I have to meet this woman, “ Pino said.

“After sitting down with her, I left feeling amazing, she’s such an amazing soul … she’s very special to me.”

Darby also encourages readers to find joy with where they are in their lives.

“When you can encourage people to live in gratitude and mindfulness, they’re happier, I don’t think the secret to happiness is any big trick, it’s certainly not getting anything material, it’s about appreciating what we have,” Darby said.

Darby uses her feelings to help bring about joy.

She is thrilled with the turnout of Pure Nourishment, with over 67, 000 followers, and a huge number of readers who interact with her directly.

She says the website has become a passion for her because the feedback is so strong.

Darby’s readers write in and tell her how much she’s helped them through their tough times.

“I think what’s nice about the

page is that it’s a resource for people ... sometimes people tell me they’ve spent an hour or so going through different albums looking for inspiration,” Darby said.

Sometimes when her readers are feeling low, looking through the albums on her site help them to feel better.

Darby says she doesn’t want to monetize the site. Darby doesn’t want to do that.

“The Facebook page will always be a gift, that’s how it started so I wouldn’t want to change that,” Darby said.

In order to gain more revenue so that she can spend more time with the site, she is looking to go through another avenue that will expand on Pure Nourishment, such as writing a book.

“I think sometimes if you do what you’re passionate about, if it’s right, it will have a way of rewarding you,” Darby said.

Darby’s Facebook page and the kindness that she shows towards others and has inspired thousands to become better individuals, utilizing health and happiness.

Darby wants to expand her audience and help reach out to more people.

CONGRATULATIONS TITANS!

Affordable destinations near Cal State Fullerton Instead of paying for costly plane tickets, Titans can go on these inexpensive trips CASEY ELOFSON Daily Titan

After graduation caps are thrown into the air, many would like to pack up and hop on the first plane out of Orange County to explore the wonders of Europe.

While many students may have the means to be doing just that, for most grads out there, this dream of a post-grad European travel probably isn’t a reality.

Although a wayward vacation abroad may be too expensive for most, travel doesn’t have to be totally out of the question for recent graduates.

Here are five affordable suggestion spots to check out this summer:

San Diego

A great way to save on gas money and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery that California is famous for is to take the simple, two-hour train ride down to San Diego.

A one-way train ticket at the Fullerton Amtrak station will cost about $29.

There’s plenty of beaches to bask on and places to eat, shop and drink.

San Diego is also home to tons of local breweries, the perfect place to partake in a beer tour and raise a mug to celebrate four (or more!) years of hard work.

Many of the breweries, such as Stone Brewing Co., offer free beer tasting after you take their plant tour—cheers to that!

Palm Springs

In just an hour and a half, students can be in the California’s own desert treasure.

Summertime is the off-season for the small town since it gets hotter than Hades.

All one has to do is book a hotel or motel with a pool, plop themselves there, order a drink with an umbrella in it and enjoy.

After all the years of homework, now its time to just work on a tan.

San Francisco

It’s slightly more expensive by train, but heading up to the City by the Bay makes for a fun road trip.

There’s plenty to see on the way up and even more to do upon arrival.

Touristy places include Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square and Haight-Ashbury, but there are endless places to explore in this city.

Plus with San Francisco’s many modes of public transportation, seeing all the sites is relatively cheap and easy.

Big Bear

It’s often just thought of as a winter wonderland destination, but come springtime, the once-frozen Big Bear Lake melts and makes for tons of fun.

Kayak rentals are only $20 for an hour.

Plus, hiking around and swimming in the lake are free.

This dream of a post-grad European travel probably isn’t a reality.

Grab a big group of friends to split the cost of a rental cabin and bring your own food and drinks; the trip can end up being pretty cheap.

Las Vegas

Since world travel is more often than not too expensive, see the sights in duplicated form—Vegas style.

Las Vegas has the Eiffel Tower, Egyptian pyramids, Roman ruins and more.

Finding cheap deals in Vegas is simple and the trek out there is pretty easy too.

After years of being a good, rule abiding student, why not go a little wild and break some rules in Sin City?

Who knows, maybe you’ll hit the jackpot and won’t ever have to start tackling that real world job.

Grads have to be creative and a fun, and a penny pinching trip can definitely be a possibility.

Just grab some good friends and start seeking out the deals and destinations. dailytitan.com

Hair and makeup tips for the summer SIMA SARRAF Daily Titan

The sun is finally a constant sight, the weather is warm and outdoor activities are at their alltime peak.

Summer is here and ladies can consequently showcase some their favorite looks and styles.

From flirty summer dresses to more casual looks, women want their hair and makeup to complement their wardrobe.

But with the heat, humidity and outdoor breezes that may inhabit the air, beauty maintenance can be arduous for those hot outdoor activities.

Pin-up model and YouTube sensation Cherry Dollface gives her personal helpful tips and tricks on the how-to’s of summer hair and makeup.

Cherokee “Cherry Dollface” Meade, is a film production coordinator in her day-to-day life, but she is better known as a model, YouTube beauty guru and rolemodel for young women.

Although her unique style is more commonly connected to the rockabilly culture, Cherry Dollface offers tutorials on hair and makeup that can be useful to everyone from pin-up enthusiasts to the girls next door.

With summer rapidly approaching, Cherry Dollface discusses her style strategies for coping with summertime in L.A. “I don’t live in a very humid region, thank goodness,” said Meade. “But I do work on Warped Tour so I have some tips and tricks for heat and sweat.”

She suggests using powder for shine control or blotting paper and avoiding heavy foundation or concealer “because it will cake.”

Powder and blotting paper will help absorb natural oils without adding another product to the face.

“Stick with the basics—if you are a really sweaty person avoid makeup that will bleed (liquid eyeliner, non waterproof mascara, cream blush),” Meade added.

“Summer is a good time to go natural anyway!”

Another way to lighten your look for summer according to Meade is to use light colors, nudes and pastels when it comes to lips.

Whether it’s gloss, shimmer or dailytitan.com

BEAUTY TIPS

lipstick, the lighter the better.

And when it comes to the eyes, there’s a little more room for personality and play.

Your eyes are the windows to your soul, or so it goes. Jazz it up between daytime and evening lid looks.

“Same thing as lipstick, light colors in general,” said Meade.

“Smokey eyes are good for night time. I love nude and glittery shades.”

Summer is the ideal time for women to loosen the load off their faces. It’s more appropriate to wear little to no makeup and to feel confident while doing so.

But if you are someone who wears makeup daily, Meade has suggestions for that as well.

“If you can tell you are wearing makeup there is too much.

But even with more extreme looks you don’t want your skin to look cakey,” she added. “Just be sure you do your makeup in natural light so you can make sure there isn’t too much blush or shadow.”

Besides makeup tips to last throughout summer, Dollface has additional tips for keeping up your curls in the heat.

For those who prefer styling your hair with a curling iron or any heated curl set, avoid hairspray or too much product that will weigh the hair, thus the curls, down.

“Reds and bright colors are hard to hold onto through the summer because sun, salt and chlorine will fade them.”

“I do my hair according to the weather and climate,” Meade said.

• Apply powder or use blotting sheets for shine control.

• Avoid wearing makeup that will bleed during a hot summer’s day.

• Loosen the load on makeup application. Go for a more natural look.

• Don’t use a lot of hair products. It will weigh your hair down.

The beauty guru added that as far as hair color, summer is a difficult time to maintain those fun and colorful hues.

“Reds and bright colors are hard to hold onto through the summer because sun, salt, and chlorine will fade them,” she added.

Deep conditioning treatments are available in almost all drug stores and are just another way to ensure your hair stays healthy throughout the beach, pool and other sun exposed activities of summer.

“I would look at a photo and sit and work at it until I figured out how to do it,” Meade said.

Boston bombings

Boston falls to silence after at least three are killed and 144 injured by explosives IAN WHEELER Daily Titan

One woman was transported to the hospital after a twocar T-bone collision smashed the driver’s side of her car near Eastside Parking Structure Monday afternoon.

The collision occurred on Folino Drive between the dorms and Eastside Parking Structure around 2:07 p.m. and the woman was transported to UCI Medical Center, according to University Police Capt. John Brockie.

She was transported around 2:20 p.m.

Samantha Witherspoon, 18, an undeclared major, was driv-

ing south down Folino Drive, which runs parallel to the 57 Freeway, when she hit a car that was turning right onto Folino from the parking lot.

Witherspoon, driving a white Ford Explorer at around 20 mph, saw the woman who was driving a dark blue Honda Accord at the last second, she said.

Witherspoon then hit the woman directly on the woman’s driver’s side door, she said.

Witherspoon said she and witnesses at the scene saw the woman clutching her

head after the impact, but that the woman was able to talk to the witnesses and was not bleeding.

“She was taken to the (hospital), but she was conscious,” Witherspoon said.

“I didn’t see any cuts or anything,” she added.

According to a University Police officer at the scene, the woman “(had a) good bump on the head because she was T-boned, so her head hit the window.”

The entire left side of the car was smashed inward and the driver’s window was shat-

tered. The impact pushed the car about three feet into a patch of bushes on a divider island off Folino.

It is unknown whether the injured woman was a Cal State Fullerton student and her condition was not known as of early Monday evening.

UCI Medical Center is unable to provide patient information if the name is not known, John Murray, media relations manager for UCI Medical Center, said.

Riverside County Sheriff’s Cpl. Angel Ramos said the incident began with a shooting during a robbery at a Moreno Valley pawn shop just after 3 p.m.

“Moreno Valley officers responded to a robbery in progress at the 24500 block of Sunnymead Boulevard,” said Ramos. “The preliminary information is that at least one male entered the business, displayed a handgun, shot a victim inside the business and fled the scene.”

Sgt. Lisa McConnell, public information officer for Riverside County, said the wounded individual was in stable but critical condition when he was transported to a local hospital.

Dakota Durrego, 19, undeclared, was working her job as barista at the Steven G. Mihaylo Hall Starbucks when she was told to evacuate the building.

“I was ringing everyone up and making customer orders, then I look up and see someone run through the building,” said Durrego. “It didn’t look serious because it just looked like a student running late to class.”

Durrego described the suspect as having braided hair and wearing a large white T-shirt and jeans. She said she did not understand the gravity of the situation at the time.

“I was not thinking of how severe this could really be,” Durrego said. “He could have easily pulled a gun on someone or taken someone. That’s just scary even thinking about.”

Chants of “Four more years” and “Obama” echoed throughout Dodger Stadium Tuesday night as democrats learned Barack Obama secured his second term as President of the United States.

After more than a year of aggressive campaigning from both sides that boiled down to tight races in several key states, the president defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney by winning Ohio and several other battleground states.

The enthusiastic crowd exploded into cheers at about 8:15 p.m. when it was announced to the stadium of Obama supporters that the president had obtained 274 electoral college votes, propelling him past the 270-vote majority needed to retain his position.

RAYMOND MENDOZA Students were told they could go home at 11:50 p.m.

Wednesday after a complete lockdown and evacuation of Cal State Fullerton paralyzed the campus for hours.

Dozens of SWAT members and other officers from seven agencies flooded the campus in search of one of the men suspected of shooting a pawn shop employee during a robbery in Moreno Valley.

Police originally pursued five suspects to Fullerton before they fled on foot after crashing into a student’s car at Nutwood Avenue and Folino Drive at about 3:50 p.m.

Helicopters circled overhead as one suspect was arrested near the on-campus Carl’s Jr. while another was caught outside College Park. The third suspect carjacked a vehicle and led police on a second pursuit that ended in a baseball field in Watts.

Two suspects remained at-large Wednesday night.

The other missing suspect is believed to have fled south of CSUF on foot. Fullerton Police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said most police resources went toward the search for the suspect on campus.

At 11 p.m., Stuart said attention had shifted to getting students off campus.

“Some of these kids have been in the buildings for more than six hours,” said Stuart. “We’re concerned about their needs at this point, so we’re trying to get them out to their cars and off campus.”

Stuart was unsure how long the campus-wide sweep would take, but predicted it would continue well into the night.

Tensions are mounting for the two Cal State Fullerton students vying to be Associated Students Inc. president for the 2013-2014 school year.

After weeks of campaigning Rohullah Latif and Carlos Navarro were left on the edge of their seats until late Thursday night when the first round of voting was declared a deadlock.

The two presidential hopefuls are remaining optimistic as they go into the second round of voting this week.

Latif and Navarro will continue their campaigns this week as polling stations are set up once again Wednesday and Thursday.

The deadlock declared in the first round of voting is actually not all that unusual, said Megan Martinez, elections commissioner.

A policy has been in place for some time about how to handle these types of results.

“Usually if there are more than two candidates, the elections have a runoff between the two teams who received the highest number of votes. It is rare that out of three candidate teams, that one will receive the 50 percent plus one to win,” said Martinez.

The third candidate in the race, Ryan Quinn, was eliminated after receiving only 15 percent of the vote.

Navarro and Latif are planning on making one last campaign push to put them ahead in the race and

President Barack Obama assured the “full weight of justice” would fall on those responsible for the deaths of at least three people after two explosions tore through a crowded sidewalk in Boston at about 11:50 a.m. PST Monday.

At least 144 were injured by the bombs, which detonated within 15 seconds of each other and appeared to target a mass of spectators at the finish line of the Boston Marathon in what the FBI has characterized as a terrorist attack.

Doctors were “pulling ball bearings out of people in the emergency room,” an expert told CNN, indicating the explosives may have been designed to propel shrapnel.

Hunter Swanson, 27, a grad student of screenwriting at Cal State Fullerton, was having drinks with his girlfriend and another friend at a restaurant about a block away from

where the bombs struck.

“About 10 minutes after sitting down, the whole building shakes like a car had just hit it,” said Swanson. “We looked out through the window and people are turning to look down the street and then running the opposite direction—it’s just a stampede of people.”

Swanson said he began running toward the scene of the explosions, against the crowd, where he saw a man with his clothes blown off, mouth open and eyes unblinking, standing in shock.

“I see this guy ... his jeans had been torn from his ankle all the way to his thigh, his shirt is torn apart, he is bloody, covered in ash—I realized that I am literally standing right in between where the two bombs had just gone off,” he said.

People were lying in the street, which was covered in debris, Swanson said.

“I helped a few other people clear the street and stop people from running in front of a firetruck and an ambulance so they can get by,” he said.

Global linguistics focus of annual symposium Keynote speakers and a panel of students discuss their research on language MICHELLE TUYUB Daily Titan

The 22nd Annual Linguistics Symposium was held on Monday at the Titan Theatre, featuring faculty members and a student panel as a part of Humanities and Social Sciences Week.

The first keynote speaker of the symposium was Timothy Henry, Ph.D., a linguistics professor at Cal State Fullerton. Henry’s lecture focused on the Mongolian dialect of Xalxa.

He spoke about the vowels and the different tongue roots.

Henry also said that they might cause variations in the size of the pharyngeal cavity, which is part of the throat located below the nasal cavity.

In his research, Henry used a group of three males and three females between the age of 19-33 and looked at the difference in the vowel use.

Using two different devices, he recorded the difference between long and short vowels of the research group.

“I was trying to record vowels, to look at different aspects of vowels, how speakers tell the differ-

ence between vowels essentially in English you have vowels (sounds in the letter a) those contrast the two sounds and you can measure them ... that’s essentially what I was doing,” said Henry.

Franz Mueller, Ph.D., a linguistics professor, was the second keynote speaker at the symposium.

Mueller discussed the social stratification in the Javanese language, which originates from the Austronesia area from Taiwan in the north to New Zealand in the south.

Javanese has three language levels, which distinguish a person based on their status.

At times the three different languages do not differentiate very much but some words do. The levels consist of Krama, the high level, Madya, the middle level, and Ngoko the basic level.

According to Mueller, it is considered a social violation if people do not follow the language rules.

“Linguistics is all about understanding how language works and principle and were very well familiar with languages like English or Spanish ... but its when you look elsewhere in the world, perhaps among lesser known languages that you really find surprising things,” said Mueller.

“CSUF has given me so much and I want to be able to return that back to my fellow Titans. My experience at CSUF has inspired me to run for ASI president,” Latif said.

“I want to make sure that ASI is offering all the opportunities to our students to be successful in and out of the classroom,” he added.

As ASI president, Latif said he hopes to increase Titan pride and facilitate communication with students, university administration and the surrounding community.

Associated Students Inc. President Dwayne Mason Jr. was the subject of a disciplinary proceeding before spring break by the Cal State Fullerton Judicial Affairs office, according to Berenecea Johnson Eanes, Ph.D., vice president of Student Affairs, and Lea Jarnagin, Ed.D., dean of students.

Miguel Arias, ASI Board of Directors representative for the College of Engineering and Computer Science, claimed that Mason’s disciplinary proceedings stem from intoxication from the use of marijuana while traveling to a California State Student Association (CSSA) event in March.

Arias said he was told about the event by ASI Board Chair Yvette Loaeza, who was driving the car that transported Mason and other ASI members to the conference.

Arias said that while on the way to a CSSA event, Mason smoked marijuana in the presence of Loaeza, ASI Vice President Katie Ayala and Kirk Deming, former ASI Board of Directors representative for the College of Education.

Arias claimed that Deming started smoking medical marijuana and shared it with Mason.

Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Motorsports team showcased their race car this weekend at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in hopes of gaining recognition in a competitive field and potential sponsors.

The student team of the college of Engineering and Computer Science featured last year’s Formula-SAE race car, Titan V, at the event. Last year the team placed 31st, beating five schools from California.

Titan Motorsports is now in the process of finishing up the Titan VI race car which will compete in a national competition this June in Lincoln, Nebraska.

This is the second consecutive year that Titan Motorsports was invited by Mike Lardy, Southern California Section member of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Board of Governors, to showcase the efforts put forth by the society and students at the racing event.

Titan Motorsports consists of undergraduate and graduate students, according to Kalen Eidenschink, the manufacturing director of the project Building the race car is a part of a senior project and a club on campus—any CSUF student can participate, added Eidenschink.

Carlos Gibson, a design engineer for Titan VI and public relations officer for Titan Motorsports, said CSUF and the mechanical engineering department gain recognition from participating in the Long Beach event.

“We actually had about five people that came in and were surprised that we even had an engineering department,” said Gibson.

“We’re kind of small if you compare us to Pomona or Long Beach, but we have full on competitive engineers that are coming out of Cal State Fullerton that are ready for the workforce.”

Eidenschink said the team can consult professional companies for advice with their designs.

The team pitched their design to Swift Engineering to get feedback and Banks Power helped review their engine management, according to Eidenschink.

“We do try to work a lot, as much as possible, with industries that are around us, we are very blessed because we have a lot of industries around here, a lot of knowledge ... we can gather around,” Eidenshink said.

Polly’s hosts customers in casual setting to the diner.

The small family company At Polly’s Pies, the Americana has served signature home dishes and pies for 40 years feel and atmosphere is matched

JENNIFER NGUYEN Daily Titan

Hungry, jubilant customers occupy the comfy, vintage leather booths and wooden tables.

Portraits of people and businesses well-known for their contributions to the restaurant adorn the floral-patterned walls.

Mason jar lights hanging from the ceiling add a unique essence

with a casual, pleasant dining experience.

Located on North Raymond Avenue in Fullerton, the small family company has been serving its signature dishes and pies for more than 40 years.

Polly’s Pies is owned by brothers Don and Eddie Sheldrake.

The Fullerton location is the first Polly’s within this franchise.

Today, there are 15 locations throughout Southern California,

including Huntington Beach, La Mirada and Norco.

According to the restaurant’s website, the name Polly was chosen in honor of Polly Martin, the newborn daughter of Polly’s Pies’ first manager and because the restaurant’s handles were shaped like the letter “P.” At Polly’s Pies, customers can enjoy a wide variety of dishes during breakfast, lunch and dinner.

For breakfast, there are many egg combos and omelettes to choose from.

“At Polly’s Pies, the Americana feel and atmosphere is matched with a casual, pleasant dining experience.”

The Spinach Scramble is exactly that; it is made up of eggs blended with seasoned, sauteed spinach, bacon, mushrooms and sausage, and then topped with shredded jack cheese.

The Denver Scramble consists of eggs with sauteed diced ham steak, green and red bell peppers, and onions.

Their ABC Omelette is made up of avocado, cheddar cheese, Cherrywood Smoked Bacon, mushrooms and green onions.

Customers can also order the traditional Eggs Benedict, which comes with two poached eggs served over ham on English muffin halves, and then topped with hollandaise sauce.

Another popular breakfast dish at Polly’s is the Belgian waffle combo.

The waffles are served with eggs, three strips of cherrywood smoked bacon or three sausage links and hash browns.

The combo comes with your choice of tea or coffee. A glass of orange juice costs $1.99 with free refills.

One thing to note about this combo is that the maple syrup isn’t your typical classic Aunt Jemima syrup.

The syrup served with the Belgian waffles is less sweet, but still has an adequate amount of flavor.

For lunch and dinner, customers can enjoy numerous burger and sandwich combos, such as the mushroom swiss burger, pepper jack burger and the old-fashioned chicken salad sandwich.

Each item comes with a fresh glass of strawberry lemonade and a side of fries or Kona chips.

The Pollymelt is made up of a grilled beef patty covered in grilled sweet onions, topped with cheddar or Swiss cheese and served on rye bread.

The zesty grilled chicken sandwich consists of a grilled tender chicken breast topped with lettuce, tomato and Ms. Polly’s spicy

dressing on a cracked wheat bun.

If you’re looking for more of a hearty, “mom’s cooking” dish, Polly’s Pies offers a number of home-style dinners, such as their famous handmade chicken pie.

It is made with lean chicken combined with savory gravy, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, carrots, sweet onions and potatoes, baked in a pie crust.

This dish is served with “skinon” mashed potatoes and gravy, and freshly baked rolls.

Other home-style dinners include the traditional roasted turkey dinner, hearty country chicken fried steak and their BBQ ribs.

Although the restaurant features many mouthwatering meals, the pies are what puts them on the map.

Pies are a major staple for this classic all-American diner.

The blackberry apple, caramel custard crisp and Polly’s own Banberry pies are what make the restaurant an attraction.

Simply put, these are not your average store-bought pies.

There are also sugar-free pies available as well, such as the the cherry and lemon pies, to name a few.

Many customers purchase whole pies for special occasions, especially during the holidays.

Whole pies range from $7.99 to $9.99.

Customers can also buy them by the slice for dessert. A single slice ranges from $2.99 to $3.99.

While prices may seem a bit high at the restaurant, Polly’s Pies portion sizes are very generous.

One slice takes up an entire medium-sized plate.

The diner gets especially busy during lunch and dinner hours, but the atmosphere always remains calm and intimate.

Polly’s Pies is a very welcoming place for all ages looking to enjoy a wide range of country-style foods and spend time with loved ones. dailytitan.com

New Star Trek avoids typical sequel slump MATTHEW PIER Daily Titan

The latest movie in the space exploration saga proves that something this old can certainly live long and prosper.

2009’s Star Trek was a phenomenal reboot of the franchise’s original characters. Thankfully, Star Trek: Into Darkness continues that excellence and avoids the proverbial sequel slump.

The second film picks up with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the middle of a mission to stop an erupting volcano from destroying a primitive alien race on a distant planet.

They successfully do so, but at the cost of being seen by the planet’s inhabitants, who have yet to discover technology.

Chris Pine (This Means War) is Captain Jim Kirk, commander of the aforementioned ship, and upon returning to Earth, is demoted due to his lack of respect for Starfleet regulations.

First Officer Spock, played by Zachary Quinto (American Horror Story), truthfully reported on the events that got Kirk in trouble, citing that as part Vulcan, he cannot lie.

An explosion occurs at one of Starfleet’s secret buildings and the man responsible attacks an emergency meeting of leaders.

Kirk is quickly reinstated as captain of his ship and given the task to hunt down the terrorist responsible, Commander John Harrison, played by Benedict Cumberbatch (War Horse).

They track the villain to Kronos, a planet that belongs to the Starfleet hating, warrior race called Klingons.

Kirk’s orders are to kill Harrison from afar by firing torpedoes at his location, but Spock convinces his friend that justice should prevail and the criminal must answer for his actions in court.

After a laser infused battle takes place, Harrison agrees to be taken into custody. The mystery surrounding the deep voiced villain and his motives slowly unravels in a riveting manner.

Director J.J. Abrams (co-creator of Lost) had the daunting challenge of producing a sequel that lived up to high expectations.

His original brought about the iconic cast of characters together in a unique way. The plot gave them a fresh start where they could create their own adventures, but still made them familiar enough for the series’ dailytitan.com

hardcore fans.

Abrams, who has also been chosen to helm the next Star Wars film, seems to have a knack for breathing new life into old properties.

In Star Trek: Into Darkness, the relationship between the two leading men becomes deeper. Spock urges Kirk to be more rational. Kirk encourages Spock to listen to his human half more often. It is an authentic friendship with a lot of heart.

The rest of the crew receive added depth, as well. Tension builds between Kirk and Scotty, the ship’s chief engineer.

Problems brew within the romance of Spock and communications officer Uhura.

It is a spectacular cast that works extremely well together, giving the impression that all the acting among one another is completely natural.

New faces also make great additions, with none more polarizing than that of the movie’s rogue antagonist.

Cumberbatch’s evil portrayal of Harrison is brilliantly done, putting him in the upper echelon of villains; such as Javier Bardem’s Silva in Skyfall.

Accompanying the relationship aspect of the film are the numerous action sequences. The special effects during these scenes are out of this world, no pun intended. Everything shines with detail and transitions well into real life environments.

Sound effects and musical scores can be overlooked in big budget summer films that focus on fight scenes and huge explosions, but when used correctly, they really enhance the picture.

In this case, subtle sounds keep the movie consistent and the large sweeping orchestral arrangements make it epic.

Working with a franchise like the storied Stark Trek is a difficult task that adds pressure to growing expectations.

Abrams masterfully walks the tightrope between rabid fans and casual viewers, giving an experience that will satisfy both parties.

The film has a contemporary feel without depreciating the value of past scenes or simply repeating them.

Star Trek: Into Darkness continues the bright future of the franchise and is supremely entertaining. Go see why space is a frontier worth exploring in this summer’s first blockbuster.

Upbeat electro dance beats combine with soft, trance-like vocals in IAMX’s fifth album, The Unified Field.

The album, which was released this March, showcases Corner’s musical growth since going solo in 2004.

Corner, who produces all his own music—from songwriting, performance and production—is a former member of England-based trip hop group Sneaker Pimps.

The band is known for their 1996 release, Becoming X, hence Corner’s alter-ego stage name IAMX. The Berlin native dedicated the album’s title and theme to a scientific theory that explains different forces of the universe combining into one equation.

The Unified Field interprets this complex argument.

But don’t expect a sci-fi soundtrack. Corner goes beyond his comfort zone, experimenting with different sounds, instruments and an

entirely new production process.

IAMX’s 2004 debut album Kiss + Swallow quickly defined Corner’s unique style of music, dubbed “glam noir.” This type of music blends electro, pop and rock sounds into a dark and sensual dance melody.

Corner channels other 80s glam pop artists in his follow-up album, The Alternative. The album features songs reminiscent of other electro dance artists such as Scissor Sisters and Mika, known for his 2007 catchy single “Grace Kelly.”

The Alternative, released in 2006, was voted “number one album of 2007” by XM Radio in U.S. His third album release, Kingdom of Welcome Addiction, displayed a much more raw and intimate musician. With introspective lyrics touching on deeper themes such as sex and drugs, Corner beautifully expressed dark emotions through music.

In his 2011 release, Volatile Times, the artist digs up even deeper emotions through electronic synths. Corner hints the superficial nature of the music business in the song “Volatile Times.”

Unlike IAMX’s previous four albums, which contained a teenage emo vibe, Corner reveals a more mature musician and lyricist in The Unified Field.

The album opens up with an eerie and haunting track called, “I Come With Knives.” The beat paints a mysterious, goth-like picture as a wom-

an’s voice whispers the chorus in German, Corner’s second language.

Two entirely different elements combine in the title track. Corner’s celestial, smooth vocals are blended with a deep bass and a hypnotizing dance beat.

Corner analyzes science and religion with lyrics like, “We are all insane. Counting down every single living day. We are prisoners of fate.

I smile at the way everybody accepts the pain.”

Although his music is made up of heavy synths and instrumentals, the chaotic arrangements contain Corner’s controlled, thought-provoking vocals.

the emotional ballad piece.

Along with a mix of various instruments such as the guitar, bass, drums and synth, Corner incorporates non-traditional band equipment to his fifth outing.

In The Unified Field, Corner experiments with instruments including the vibraphone, glockenspiel, celesta and harpsichord that add a complex and theatrical touch.

IAMX’s first four albums were entirely produced by Corner himself.

This time around the one-man band collaborated with Jim Abbiss, who has helped produce artists such as Adele, Arctic Monkeys, Temper

Trap and Sneaker Pimps.

Corner also collaborates with former Sneaker Pimps bandmate, Liame Howe, who has written and produced for artists such as Lana Del Rey, Elie Goulding and Marina and the Diamonds.

The solo artist currently produces his music in a rundown factory outside Berlin. The building has been converted into an arts and entertainment playground. It used for recording, rehearsals, photo shoots and even music videos.

Take off your pants and jacket at the Undie Run ANDY LUNDIN Daily Titan

With the end of the school semester just around the corner, the yearly scorching summer temperatures are at their peak. And what better way to celebrate than at Cal State Fullerton’s upcoming Underwear Run? CSUF’s 6th annual Undie Run is scheduled for Thursday, May 23.

If there’s any indication, this year’s run will be even better than last’s.

Student’s are encouraged to strip down to their skivvies and strut their stuff as they celebrate the finale of finals week.

According to the official CSUF Underwear Run Facebook page, the group’s goal this year is to assemble at least 5,000 people,

which is 1,000 more than the amount that participated in last year’s event.

The Undie Run page hopes that students have as much fun as possible. Participants are encouraged to take pictures and videos of the event. However, alcohol will not be permitted. So save the booze for the after-parties.

The event is scheduled to assemble in front of parking lot G between the entrances of Goodwin Field and Titan Stadium. The run kicks off at 10 p.m.

Fullerton Police will crowd control for the event, but everything is expected to go over smoothly.

So show off your school spirit and have some fun in those Underoos, or whatever it is you have under there.

Batman Mondays and college memes: How I survived higher education RAYMOND MENDOZA Daily Titan

I’d like to think that at the end of my college experience, I would have something smart to say, but I keep coming up empty.

I was asked to write this since one of my editors assumed I had a pretty meaningful college experience and I guess by normal standards I did. After two years at Cal State Fullerton, I can honestly say that I had a great time taking interesting classes, getting an internship at Dick Clark Productions and talking to the best (and most underpaid) professors in the country.

Yet, I guess the best part of my college experience was meeting new people, because it was the thing I was expecting the least.

As a transfer student, I assumed that CSUF would be packed with hipsters from the OC (by the way, I learned not to call it that out loud) and I’d mostly keep to myself until I got my degree especially after it took so long to transfer out of community college.

But then I had the good fortune of joining the Daily Titan and writing alongside some of the most talented and strangest individuals I have ever met. It was pretty cool to meet so many people with the same passion, work ethic and interests as myself.

To top it off, it made classes like Comm 471 and Comm 202 a breeze since work no longer felt like work.

After my second newsroom shift (and about a dozen Arrested Development jokes) I honestly felt I had met some kindred spirits.

So, even though it’s completely campy, I can honestly say that 99

percent of my college experience was thanks to the school newspaper and all of the people that I wrote with along the way (except Peter Pham, that guy stole my iPod).

All joking aside, the Daily Titan was a second home and I can’t imagine meeting a better group of writers anywhere. And maybe that’s what a college experience is about, looking back and remembering the best times like late-night karaoke, the coolest laser tag matches ever (it’s coming back, I swear) and even the working through the lockdown (which was kind of scary for a while).

So when I’m an old man at the end of my life, I can look back at the endless hours at the Daily Titan and all of the people I met and say to myself, “ah, the good old days,” and really mean it.
