Audit concludes criminal activity Missing $58,000 prompts investigation, overhaul of cash-handling processes SAMUEL MOUNTJOY MIA MCCORMICK & ADRIAN GARCIA Daily Titan

WILLIAM CAMARGO / For the Daily Titan

President Mildred García sits at a table in her office on the tenth floor of the College Park building surrounded by souvenirs of her presidency.

García talks student issues

García sits down for lengthy exclusive interview with the Daily Titan Editor’s note: The following questions and answers are excerpted from an interview with President Mildred García that took place on Friday Oct. 4. Some questions have been altered for clarity and conciseness. DT: “This year, you spoke about $500,000 that is going to be allocated to tackle what is a $150 million backlog of deferred maintenance; what brought the university to that specific number? García: “Well, first of all, they

did a study under the vice president for finance administration to look at what was the issues with deferred maintenance. They came up with a list of major issues that we have. Remember, our buildings are over 50 years old, and if you don’t take care of buildings, things start to happen. So that’s number one. So there is this whole inventory of what needs to occur. And yes, we understand, I’ll give you more information, we understand $500,000 doesn’t go a long way, but it at least begins to look at what are the issues that we are confronting. Remember that we lost over $40 million in the budget crisis that we had, and

this is the first time that we’re getting some money back, and the bleeding has stopped, so that we get $125 million for the CSU, but we’ve been cut, at Fullerton, $40 million. So we’re now starting to see how do we allocate in those areas that are so important? For me, a good facility, and a safe facility, is important for a learning environment. So that’s why we started with $500,000. But I just gave my report to the Planning Resources and Budget Committee, PRBC, and we have allocated from the dollars that we have, next to $1 million for deferred maintenance, from the recurring budget, and then we have

some one-time dollars, those will come to us just one time, which we’re taking $2 million to make it a total of $3 million––over this year––for deferred maintenance. So we’re trying to put in as much as we can knowing that we don’t have, we have to really fund other things as well, but I don’t have to tell you students about McCarthy Hall, and I don’t have to tell you students about the buildings, and the escalator, and the elevators where some of our students got stuck about two weeks ago. So I know I don’t have to explain that. But we do have to think about the sewer lines. SEE Q&A, 2

HELENA REED Daily Titan

A West Coast atmosphere filled the Becker Amphitheater during Cal State Fullerton’s second annual Orangefest: Locals Only fall music festival on Oct. 4. The free concert, hosted by ASI Productions, featured food trucks and three live bands exclusively for the CSUF community. Although Friday night’s weather conditions were windy, Associated Student Inc. coordinators were optimistic that the sun would be the shining factor for the SoCal themed event. “I just feel like this is a really good opportunity to have a great time, meet people, hear some good music, get some free food and get some free stuff,” said Nicholas Jakel, 18, a business major and ASIP street team member. “You can’t really ask for much more than a bunch of free stuff.”

Danielle Manifold, 20, ASIP fall festival and spring concert coordinator, was the leading force behind this year’s Orangefest. “Using Southern California as the theme of the event, whether it was the sunshine, the beaches and good chill vibes, that’s what I was going for for this event,” Manifold said. After festival crew members finished setting up, ASI admitted students who had their TitanCards in hand. The first 450 students recieved free food vouchers to use at any vendor. Some of the food trucks at the event were Kala truck, Longboards Ice Cream and GD Bro Truck. The first band who took the stage was an alternative reggae five-piece, Pacific Dub. They delivered interactive performance with easy-going tunes and head bobbing mixes to the audience. Pacific Dub’s drummer admitted he was surprised by the crowd turnout. SEE LOCALS ONLY, 5

Clerical Error In May of 2012, College of Arts staff noticed financial discrepancies within the department. They initially concluded a clerical error and began revising cash-handling processes. In January, an overdrawn account revealed that the mishandling was more serious than a clerical error. In total, $58,694 never made it to ASC: $45,011 in cash and $13,683 in checks. That same month, García wrote to California State University Chancellor Timothy White requesting an audit, which he requested of the Office of the University Auditor in February. The investigation revealed a variety of shoddy money-handling practices between the box office and the ASC.

The disappearance of about $58,000 from the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office was “likely the result of criminal activity,” according to an investigative audit released by California State University in August. On Friday, President García would not comment on the specifics of the report, calling it a personnel issue. “The individual who is alleged to have done this ... no longer works here,” García said. “The police will take care of any criminal action that must be taken care of, but we do have processes and procedures in place so this will never happen again.” The report shows that $58,694 was received by the

box office but never delivered to Auxiliary Services Corporation for deposit. ASC provides accounting services on campus.

A header by sophomore defender Morgan Batcheller in the 72nd minute forced overtime for the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team at home against Cal State Northridge on Sunday, but both teams would have to settle for a draw. A rematch of last season’s Big West Tournament final, the Titans headed into their match with the Matadors hoping to remain perfect through the first weekend of Big West play. But just as they did against the University of Hawai’i on Friday, the Titans spotted their opposition with the initial advantage, giving up the first goal of the game in the 36th minute. Starting the match with a much more energized and promising first 30 minutes than

their previous match, CSUF looked determined with strong pressure in the Matadors’ half and purposeful passing all around the pitch. But while the Titans did well to put CSUN under some initial pressure, it would be the Matadors drawing first blood in the match. Winning a throw-in deep in the Titans’ half, CSUN junior Leandra Walker picked out sophomore forward Kendall Moskal near the right corner of the Titan penalty area. Collecting the ball with ample amounts of time, Moskal easily sidestepped the challenge of Titan midfielder Chelsey Patterson before picking her head up and hitting a right-footed shot towards CSUF senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic. Unfortunately for the Titans, Maricic could only get fingertips to the dipping shot before it hit the underside of the crossbar and landed just behind the Titans’ goal line for the game’s opening strike.

More than 500 new vehicles on display drove car lovers to the Anaheim Convention Center this weekend for the Orange County International Auto Show. The show featured a wide range of makes and models from 35 different automakers including specialty dealerships and aftermarket vendors. This year’s show provided a

stage for some of the world’s largest automakers to roll out and unveil their 2014 models. Among those unveiled was Fiat’s new 500L, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Mercedes CLA class. Looking more Ferrari than Chevy, the 2014 Chevy Corvette had fans lining up for a chance to sit behind the wheel. “This is probably one of the best looking Corvettes they made yet and I’ve been a Corvette fan my entire life,” said Brian Gluck, a Los Alamitos resident and self-proclaimed gearhead.

We’re having problems with our sewer lines that are 50 years old, so we have to pay attention to those things as well. So there is the infrastructure students don’t see, as well as the infrastructure that we all have to deal with that has to be attended to. They’re old buildings.” DT: “We’ve got 43,200 gross square feet per custodian. And according to this study that was done by the operations department, we would need to hire 44 more custodial workers to even get down to the next level of inattentiveness. Is there plans?” García: “There are plans through the vice president for finance and administration to hire new maintenance people that it goes through a different division, so I can’t tell you the numbers. But I will tell you that again, over the last five to six years of the budget crisis, the priority was put on classes, faculty and making sure that students get their classes. So now that we’re getting some money back, it’s custodian, but it’s also a lot of staff in other areas where they are, they were cut in order to make sure that students got what they needed in order to move forward. So yes, we’re looking at where are those areas that have not gotten the priority or were cut to a place that is not efficient nor productive for the university.” DT: “In March, you released a statement on tolerance that was sort of cryptic, students weren’t very sure what prompted that.”

García: “Some students.” DT: “So, what can you tell us about why you released that?” García: “It came to our attention by students that we were not listening to what was going on in the Quad, and there were some statements ... there were some statements of ‘offensive, insensitive statements that do not belong on a university community against this particular group.’ And the students were pretty upset about that. And as a matter of fact, it came up again in our Pizza with the President with the former ASI president where a student asked me why weren’t we doing more. And I said, ‘I sent this statement; I sent this statement because students sent it to me.’ And he said, ‘Well, this has been going on here for X number of years.’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry, I just got here. All I could tell you is that I sent it out as soon as I heard that something was occurring.’” DT: “But what was the statement?” García: “It was homophobic, homophobia. And it was a group of people coming here to speak against the gay, lesbian, bisexual community.” DT: “And by saying that’s not in line with the university … ” García: “It is not. I mean, it is not. We are a university of many different, diverse perspectives. And we embrace all. And we do not tolerate offensive statements against anyone. It’s not civil; this is a university.” DT: “And how did the Board of Trustees meeting go for you? What was your reaction to what the governor said?” García: “I think the gov-

ernor said some things that I feel, you know, higher ed is the future of the state. We turned away 18,000 qualified students on this campus. Most of these students can’t leave the area. Our community colleges are impacted. The UCs are not taking the state students in large numbers the way we are. So those students, really, where are they going? You don’t educate individuals, they don’t become your taxpayers, they don’t become your leaders, they don’t become your community leaders. It is, for me, disappointing that we give more money to prisons than we do to higher ed. The values are wrong. If you educate people, you have less incarceration.” DT: “You said you didn’t want this university to be measured for a four-year graduation track. But yet there’s a long and a really strong push for everyone to graduate in four years.” García: “Here’s the issue. We have 38,000 students. All of you come in with different stories. If you can get through your education in four years or less, I want you to do that. But if you can’t, because of whatever your reason, you’re taking care of an ailing mother, you’re doing something, your graduation is important, too. So we have to look at this, to the totality, so that all students have the opportunity to get their degree as quickly as they can; understanding, though, multiple things add to the struggle in their lives.” DT: “What exactly is the university hoping to accomplish with mandatory advisement?” García: “One of the things that is, it’s nationally known,

is through research studies, that students, when they are advised, and helped to take the classes that are necessary for them to graduate, they graduate at higher rates than those that have no adviser. And so for us, our graduation rate is 51 percent in six years. I’d like to see that higher. Institutions like ourselves, if you look at the top five, Carnegie, in our classification, and you average it out, it’s 77 percent. I’d like to see our average higher. Right now we’re at 51 percent. So that means that 49 percent of the students are not graduating in six years. So we need to look at that. And if you look at the research studies across the country, it is about advising, it is about ensuring that they take the right classes, it is about high impact practices, it is about engaging students in their learning.” DT: “One issue that is brought up all the time: parking. When we poll students about what the major issues are, we consistently hear parking. What’s the plan for parking?” García: “Well, right now, we understand—what I’m told is the first couple of weeks, parking is horrific, and then it kind of slows down after that and it gets better, because people are just juggling in and out. If we have to increase enrollment, then we’re going to have to start looking at possible—more parking structures. But that’s going to be a college discussion, discussion with all of the major stakeholders.” DT: “So right now there’s nothing … ” García: “Right now there are no options. It’s not off the table, but we haven’t decided.”

Water runs dry in Mexico Geohydrology professor presents his research on water conditions in Mexico ANDRES MARTINEZ Daily Titan

Francisco Martínez González, a professor of geohydrology and geomatics from the University of Guanajuato, Mexico, presented his research Thursday about water and human rights in Mexico. The lecture is part of a series funded by a student grant under the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences and was co-sponsored by Latin American studies and cultural anthropology. Martínez González, who presented his research in Spanish, was translated by students and faculty. He presented to about 50 attendees. Martínez González discussed his research, explaining the real problems with unsafe water in

Mexico and its aquifers, and how that affects migration to the United States. “By bringing in someone who has both the academic training, but also works with students and research projects, enhances the idea of encouraging students to do research and (bring) it to the classroom,” Tricia GabanyGuerrero, Ph.D., an assistant professor of anthropology, said. We often get so much news about Mexico regarding drug traffickers and the border, but we do not often hear about what somebody is doing research on and how this connects to us in the bigger picture beyond the news, Gabany-Guerrero said. During the discussion, Martínez González talked about the problems of Mexico’s government-run water system. He explained that the water from the aquifers is running out, specifically the Silao-Romita aquifer in the state of Guanajuato. Aula Gutierrez, 21, an anthro-

pology major, said she never knew that the Mexican federal government owned the water system. The lecture taught her that different countries and cultures work differently and have various needs. Gutierrez said she took the water for granted when she traveled to Mexico in the past, but will not after learning that not everyone can afford clean water. Barbra Erickson, coordinator of the cultural anthropology division, said she was fascinated with Martínez González’s description of how their political system governs water. “As a cultural anthropologist I really appreciated the way the professor showed the relationship between cultural beliefs and attitudes, and the use of resources. I think everything he said about Mexico we can think about the same in the United States or in other countries,” Erickson said. Janet Perez, 22, a political sci-

ence major, said she attended the event because she believes there is a lack of care from the Mexican government because the water is nationalized. She also said these kind of events are important for students to attend because it is our duty as humans to help others. Jennifer Wiggin, an anthropology major, recommended that students not live in their own bubble, but to broaden their horizons and realize there are other places with very serious issues. Wiggin said she is open to learning about different topics and applying information from different walks of life to her own. “You don’t really realize that in other countries people are not as fortunate and it is very interesting to see a place like Mexico which is so close, that they are having all these issues that you never would have known about,” Wiggin said.

DTBRIEFS OC is 7th in death penalty

ALLY MACKEY-FITZGERALD The Death Penalty Information Center released a study Friday showing that Orange County is among the top ten counties in the nation to sentence criminals to the death penalty, according to the Orange County Register. Orange County ranked seventh in the nation, two places behind Riverside County. Los Angeles County has more inmates on death row than any other county in the nation as of Jan. 1, 2013, the Washington, D.C. based organization reported. The Orange County District Attorney said only approximately 3 percent of murder cases are tried for the death penalty. Providing housing, security and legal services for death row inmates costs the state about $180 million annually. In 2012, 62 percent of California voters rejected a ballot initiative that would have abolished the death penalty. California leads the nation in inmates on death row, with 721 currently awaiting the death penalty. More than half of these inmates are from Orange, Riverside and Los Angeles counties.

Egypt riot leaves 51 dead CHU-LING YEE

At least 51 people were killed in Egypt after supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi clashed with security forces on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. Egypt was celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War with Israel, when backers of the military that removed Morsi, and Morsi’s supporters poured into the streets. Supporters of Morsi fired birdshot and threw firebombs at police, who responded with tear gas. Morsi supporters were upset over Morsi being removed by the military after mass protests earlier this year. The military is currently the source of power in Egypt, with many calling for Military Chief Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sissi to run for president next year. The Health Ministry reported there were more than 240 injured. A majority of the dead victims were killed by gunshots to the chest or head. The Interior Ministry stated 423 Morsi supporters were detained across the nation.

The march was just one of various demonstrations that were scattered throughout the United States in support of comprehensive immigration reform. The Irvine demonstration was made up of about 500 supporters from different organizations. They marched for half a mile toward Rep. John Campbell’s (R-Irvine) office. Demonstrators said Campbell has publicly expressed support for changing the immigration system in the past. The immigration reform supporters wanted to persuade Campbell to stand behind House Resolution 15. House Resolution 15 targets immigrants who are already illegally residing in America. The immigration reform bill was introduced to the House of Representatives.

Such excitement is good news for General Motors, Chevrolet’s parent company. After being forced to shut down some of its less successful brands like Pontiac, Saab and Hummer, General Motors is still attempting a major makeover, according to the New York Times. In direct opposition to the

white carpets, tailored suits and neurotically polished cars that defined most of the show, Jeep stole the attention of many showgoers with their interactive Camp Jeep display. With an off-road test track, the American automaker offered adventurous attendees a ride around the track with professional off-road drivers. The track included a series of offroading obstacles including a

Committee plants ‘Seeds for Change’ Environmental advocacy committee shares five tips on how to live ‘greener’ BRIAN CHESTER Daily Titan

The Committee on Environmental Sustainability met last week to discuss their upcoming event, Seeds for Change. Led by Administrative Director Amanda Lopez, Environmental Sustainability is a student run committee that works to help preserve and maintain a cleaner, less wasteful environment. Seeds for Change is an event that will be displaying “five tips on how to be greener.” “The reason our event is called Seeds for Change is because the five tips will be on a piece of paper,” Lopez said. “It will be seed paper … so you can plant it after and it can grow into flowers.” Lopez hopes this event will educate students about the importance of an environmentally friendly campus. “It’s something that I definitely think a lot of students care about,” Lopez said. Use reusable water bottles The committee is currently collecting water bottles to create a display to show how many plastic bottles are used every day. The display will be done in a progression of one, three and five years. To promote a greener campus, they will be giving away reusable water bottles made of plastic and aluminum. Shop secondhand The group will display a female mannequin, dressed completely in secondhand clothing which has all been purchased from thrift stores.

“Secondhand just means it’s been used before,” said Waste and Energy Coordinator, Sydney George. “That’s one way that you can go green, is just buying used things so you don’t have to purchase new items and pollute our environment.” The booth will also contain secondhand jewelry, dish sets and other reusable items. A map of Fullerton will display all of the local thrift stores and consignment shops where secondhand items can be purchased

Use totes instead of plastic Environmental Advocacy will display a map that marks all of the California cities that have already banned plastic bags, surrounded by various newspaper articles from these cities. “There’s 81 cities in California that already ban plastic bags,” George said. Associated Students Inc. hopes that Cal State Fullerton will be next to join in the ban. “Our ASI President really wants to ban plastic bags on campus,” Lopez said. “I will prob-

ably be setting up a meeting with them (ASI Executive Officers) soon, and they want a list of the schools and cities that are already banning them.” Go paperless Supporting mail to “go paperless,” Environmental Advocacy wants to reveal how much paper is wasted between bills, advertisements and credit cards in a period of one, three and five years. “The idea for ‘go paperless’ was where we’re going to collect mail and show how much you end up collecting if you don’t go paperless,” said Katie Duong, the programming and communication coordinator. Pack a waste free lunch “We are doing a comparison of a month’s worth of lunch items that you would bring to school and just throw out, like plastic baggies, brown paper bags and plastic utensils,” ASI Vice Chair Priyankaa Cid said. These wasted items will be put alongside reusable items such as lunch boxes, silicone forks and knives and mugs. The group is hoping to show students exactly how much waste they are producing in their everyday life. They want to encourage the use of reusable items and cut back the mass amount of trash on campus. Lopez is currently working on a research project that will explain how much money could be made off of recycling one’s own trash. “We recycle everything but we don’t get any money back from that. We actually have to pay the outside company to do it for us,” Lopez said. Seeds for Change will take place in the Quad on Oct. 23 at 11 a.m.

According to the Los Angeles Times, larger auto shows such as Los Angeles’ drew in a record 920,000 attendees in 2012, while the OC show attracts only a fraction of that number. The OC show featured a hands-on experience and a number of automakers offered to test drive many of their 2014

models. Attendees looking to buy a car in the near future enjoyed this option of the show. “I would much rather come here and test out a bunch of cars from different makers than have to go to like five or six dealerships,” Yash Mehta, a prospective car buyer and Irvine resident, said. “No one is really trying to sell me anything here. It’s just a low stress, fun environment.”

AUDIT

The audit shows the money disappeared between November 2011 and November 2012. It is unknown whether box office policies and procedures were being followed for the duration of this review period. Additionally, the director was unable to find physical copies of box office procedures that might have been in place at the time. However, auditors found a document titled “Verification of Funds Report.” This report laid out a timeline for procedures starting when someone bought a ticket and ending when the deposits and transfers were documented. Due to box office staff turnover, auditors were unable to verify if the procedures outlined in this report were ever used or if it was only a draft. The document containing these procedures had been sent via email in November 2011 from the former box office fiscal manager to the box office manager, neither of whom are still employed at the campus. The box office manager, Sandra Clark, died in September 2012. The Verification of Funds Report, said it was the job of the box office fiscal manager and the box office manager to verify transactions to the ASC on a monthly basis. Account reconciliation should be performed by an individual not in charge of handling cash receipts or deposits, meaning the box office fiscal manager should not have been assigned to this task, the audit shows. The auditors said the “Verification of Funds Report” was not in compliance with CSU moneyhandling guidelines. The audit shows that if adequate reconciliation procedures had been enforced, any missing funds would likely have been prevented or discovered in a timely manner. Auditors found no evidence that the box office had prepared any reconciliations. Magdalena Guillen contributed to this report.

Continued from PAGE 1

Auditors noted that over a twoand-a-half month period, the deposits for 14 shows sat undeposited for inappropriately long lengths of times. CSU guidelines dictate that deposits happen at least weekly, or when collections exceed $500. The audit recommended that the university overhaul cash handling procedures, which García said has been completed. During the period studied, November 2011 to November 2012, box office employees counted the money that came in, then carried it by hand to the ASC. ASC staff would verify the total by noting the amount written on the envelope by the box office. ASC staff did not open the envelopes to count the cash, according to the audit. Box office was given a receipt using the amount written on the envelope and the cash was then deposited in the bank. However, in May 2012, one of the departments reported that an Interdepartmental Transfer (IDT) form was not properly filed. The box office was not immediately processing IDTs that transferred money to the other departments within the College of Arts. When the buildup of IDTs was finally processed, the box office account did not contain enough money to cover the transfers. This tipped off the director of marketing and patron services for the College of Arts, who then uncovered other problems. Specifically, the IDTs lacked important details and backup documentation. A new system was introduced which required IDTs to be backed up with documentation and processed in a more timely manner. Account Overdrawn In January 2013, an overdrawn ASC deposit account prompted the director to compare sales revenues to deposits to the ASC. Looking at the books revealed that $58,694 was missing.

‘Stand your ground law’ insufficient Controversy over Zimmerman case unable to prove legislative racism ERICA MAHONEY Daily Titan

Since the verdict of the George Zimmerman trial, “stand your ground” laws have become the subject of great speculation. Some states are considering removing the NRA-backed legislation altogether, on the grounds that the laws encourage violence and make it easier to justify murder. Racial implications have even been drawn between the Zimmerman trial and those of African-Americans who have tried to use the same “stand your ground” law, but found very different verdicts than Zimmerman. Many have argued that Marissa Alexander, the African-American mother of three who shot at her abusive husband and also tried to use “stand your ground” as a defense, is an example that plainly proves there is a racial factor separating the two cases. Zimmerman walked, while Alexander received a guilty verdict and a 20-year prison sentence. First, people must understand what exactly “stand your ground” means. It is not synonymous with self-defense. In fact, “stand your ground” is not often used as a defense—it is

used to avoid trial altogether. Basically, if someone can prove that they came under attack and met it with force for fear of death, they can be dismissed of charges and go free. For the purpose of this comparison, we’ll look specifically at Florida’s “stand your ground” statute, since both the Zimmerman and the Alexander cases took place in the sunshine state. On the Florida Legislature website, statute 776.013, titled “Home protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm,” clarifies the qualities the person in defense must have. “A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another,” according to the legislature’s website. Initially, Zimmerman did successfully use the “stand your ground” laws; he was not arrested after the shooting of Trayvon Martin because he was able to prove to law enforcement that he used deadly force out of fear for his life during the attack. However, the intense media

coverage and protests forced the state to take the matter to trial. In The State of Florida v. George Zimmerman, the prosecution held the heavy burden of proof to convey to the jury that Zimmerman committed murder beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury, given all the evidence brought into trial, found that there was reasonable doubt. They found there was a possibility that there was indeed an altercation that elevated to the point that Zimmerman needed to use deadly force. That was all that was necessary to acquit Zimmerman. Now, the Alexander case is

different for a number of reasons. Alexander and her husband were engaged in a nondeadly confrontation. Alexander left the room, went out to the garage, came back and shot at her husband. She missed, but she was charged with aggravated assault, and found guilty. The main reason Alexander could not use the “stand your ground” law is because she left the scene and then returned to use deadly force. The two confrontations are considered separate; the first in which her husband may have been the aggressor, but in the second, Alexander became

the aggressor by involving a deadly weapon. The jury did not have to deliberate long to find that “stand your ground” was not a sufficient defense. The “stand your ground” law does not apply to Alexander, so racism cannot be called the explanation as to why the two verdicts differed. However, her sentence does not fit the crime. Twenty years in prison for firing what was essentially a warning shot is unjust. According to CNN, an appellate court ruled last month that Alexander will be granted a second self-defense trial.

I was shocked last week when I noticed one of your ads suggesting “don’t be a sleaze” —paid for, apparently, with student fees via sponsorship by the Daily Titan. Suggesting that “sleazy women” are to blame for STDs—rather than behavior on the part of both men and women—is absolutely outrageous. As recent events in Ohio, Canada and closer to home have unfolded—with the result being the suicides of young women who were victims of sexual assault—I would certainly think that someone over at the Daily Titan would have more common sense than to perpetuate the culture of blaming/shaming women for everything from STDs to rape. As a faculty member at Cal State Fullerton for over 11 years I strongly encourage you to take a different approach to anti-STD PSAs.

Lovers cast a heartbreaking and versatile performance The CSUF production, Almost, Maine, takes on a minimalist approach NICOLE WEAVER Daily Titan

The Grand Central Theater buzzed with anxious chatter Friday night as a nearly soldout crowd awaited the dramafilled, lovestruck theater play Almost, Maine. Seconds before the main performance, the stage lights dimmed and conversations came to a halt. The crowd now focused their attention on the empty stage with two lonely wooden benches. The first act opened in the small, snow-filled town in a remote part of Maine. The first couple that took the stage dressed in thick jackets and pants created the illusion of the play’s winter setting.

“We come here and you see a lot of the students here, and it’s super cool because I imagined that they’re all very busy doing school work and having to study, but my misconception,” Delaney said. “To me it’s cool to see all these people come out and want to see a show.” As the evening continued, more students gathered around the steps of the Becker Amphitheater to dance or simply lounge on the grass soaking in the breezy SoCal atmosphere. “It’s a great event and hopefully they keep doing it more so we’ll keep coming back,” Delaney said. In between band performances, ASIP street team

The scene metaphorically explained the pain of heartbreak, as they carried a small bag that contained a heart. Almost, Maine, written by John Cariani, follows the lives of 20 young residents ofthe fictional town Almost, all dealing with the various aspects of love and relationships. The play pulls on heartstrings, especially for those who have ever been in an intimate relationship and have experienced love and heartbreak. The very first scene also does a great job of creatively foreshadowing the events to come. A scene at the end of the play, which circles to the beginning of the play, shows the young man trying to “fix” his partner’s heart. As the play transitioned between scenes, the multifunctional benches were moved around. The benches, which were the play’s only props, were used as a table at a restaurant,

a bench at a skating rink, a couch, steps outside of a house and a bus stop. Although with only two props and a relatively empty stage, the play still captured emotions and put the audience into the plot. The lack of bright lighting indicated the feeling of being outdoors. Even when the light was bright, it was obvious the scene took place inside. Despite the small space the actors were limited to, they moved around the stage freely getting extremely close to the audience. This personalizes and adds a unique connection between the actor and the audience. The 20 characters interchanged between four different actors, which showcased performing versatility. Almost, Maine, quickly transitioned from one story to the next in a matter of seconds.

chaotic watching and relating to each love story, the overarching theme artistically blended them all together. The script contained witty sarcasm, allegories, metaphors and each character employed a unique way of explaining their respective situation. The raw talent of the actors allowed the audience to connect to their stories on a personal level. The bickering, crying, laughing and deadpan nature of the performances evoked various reactions from the audience. A few women seated in the back even cried during a heartbreaking scene between a couple. Almost, Maine is a play that’s relatable, enjoyable and a unique take on minimalist theater. The play runs until Oct. 19. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 with an advance Titan discount.

members hosted raff les and threw prizes, such as free Tshirts, into the crowd. Following Pacific Dub’s performance was Venice Beach based band Terraplane Sun that triggered an authentic California mood with their indie-rock blues sound. “They totally have this vintage rocker coastal sound to them that fits right in for the festival,” Manifold said. “It turns out they have a big fan base here at Cal State Fullerton I had no idea about, so it just worked out.” Amanda Martinez, 18, a freshman political science major said she was excited to watch and meet Terraplane Sun. “I expected more people to show up but overall it was a perfect amount of people,” Martinez said. “It was a close-

knit relationship where you could sit close to the band and it was a close knit atmosphere.” Psychedelic electro-pop band White Arrows was last on the

Orangefest lineup. The Los Angeles based band ended with a lasting impression that demanded the crowd to cheer for an encore.

Photographer Matthew Moore and visual artist Braden King combined efforts to produce their historically and ecologically conscious installation, Cumulus. The room-sized installation, held at the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana, responds to the upcoming centennial anniversary of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. The Los Angeles Aqueduct takes water from the Owens River and the Mono Basin and moves it into the desert of Southern California. In a wall description, King was quoted, “People thought ‘Hey, we can take that water from up here, and make a channel and take it down there, across the desert, and then we can make more things and more people can live.’ And then they did it. They turned clouds into concrete.” During this season’s ArtistIn-Residency program, the two talented minds meshed and created art thanks to the support of the Grand Central Art Center, the Metabolic Studio and Casio Projectors. “It’s been a truly creative collaboration and process,” King said. “Feeling our way into something, not thinking our way into something.” The installation consists of a pipe with a 12-foot diameter, rough and imperfect scaffolding planks, six projectors and a plywood stage with a loose gravel spread. The large pipe hugs the back

wall and eventually integrates itself into the wall. The pipe, which is elevated to a tilt, travels at an incline from east to west like the trip of the actual aqueduct but with the wrong altitudinal change. A multitude of boards, varying in length, completely cover the pipe. Horizontal projections are enclosed within the contours of the rectangles and cast photographs of bird’s-eye view landscapes and the cloud gazing skies between Los Angeles and the Eastern Sierra Mountains. Now with only around a foot of vertical space per board, the earthly images are limited to relatively challenging dimensions. Moore and King used the wood’s demarcation to implement an overall cascading-effect. Each plank has a unique image programmed to gradually descend at separate rates. The wood acts like individual windows simultaneously scanning across an index of bigger pictures. A sectional and subtle shift in tones continually appears when pictures gently fade out and in. Images of sandy deserts to grey suburbs, to blue skies, to white clouds illuminates life into the piece that is settled in a dark room. “The grains of wood combined with the Air Force blue sky simply resemble ripples of water,” Nick Wolf, 21, said. “It’s a reflection of the blood in the vein, the content in the pipe, the hydration for a metropolis.” The aqueduct proves that human ingenuity and apathy can influence the areas in which life can and cannot flourish. Southern California is now uncharacteristically prosperous while Central California is now

essentially a dustbowl. Cumulus emphasizes the importance of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and human engineering. If the pipeline eventually dries up, it instantly becomes the 373-mile long art piece of an ancient world. Though vital to the day-to-day lives of Southern Californians, Cumulus springs in the ecological and ethical issues of the aqueduct.

In a wall description, Moore was quoted “We can build all the infrastructure and systems to transport this precious resource, but if it doesn’t rain, they are all for naught. There may be no more hopeful image than that of a cloud … the promise of sustenance and a future that cannot be controlled by the will of man.” Cumulus is open to the public for the rest of the year.

Gravity is, quite simply, out of this world. High above Earth, medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone, played by Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) and astronaut Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney (Oceans Eleven), fight to survive after debris from destroyed orbiting satellites leave them adrift in space. Tethered together and cut off from Houston’s mission control on Earth, the two race to find a way home. The chemistry between Bullock and Clooney is solid. Clooney plays a charismatic space veteran, while Bullock plays a quiet and withdrawn doctor. At the beginning of the film, unlike Kowalski, Stone is difficult to like, but as the movie continues she becomes relatable and the viewer can’t help but cheer her on. Bullock and Clooney mastered the slow movements of weightlessness in space, which added to the film’s authenticity. At times, the movie felt like Cast Away in space, which, by the way, isn’t bad at all. Cast Away was a master class on how a movie can rely primarily on a single actor. However, unlike Tom Hanks’ somewhat wordless drama, there was a lot of dialogue in Gravity. Bullock’s performance is exceptional enough for an Oscar nomination. The film’s 90-minute run time was perfect. Recently, movies tend to run somewhat long, going beyond the two-hour mark, but Gravity didn’t fall prey to this common misstep. If it ran any longer, the action would have become drawn out and tedious. Writer and director Alfonso Cuarón employs the same long-shot technique he used for the famous 10-minute continuous shot in the sci-fi movie Children of Men. The first 15 minutes of Gravity is one continuous shot where the camera swirls, twirls and glides from one angle to another. It’s an absolutely remark-

able piece of directing. Many space films, if not all, inaccurately portray realities of soundless intergalactic life. There is no sound in space and Cuarón takes full advantage of the silence. Instead of using the blast sounds, intense music plays in the background that simulates the same feeling of an explosion. Also, at times, the only sound is the heavy and labored breathing of the space travelers. It’s eerie. There was nothing new or revolutionary about the plot, but the directing and cinematography alone carries the film. Essentially, Gravity becomes a character study about human survival. Instead of using another human character as the source of conf lict, Stone’s battle was against the harsh conditions of space. The infinite vastness of space becomes frightening, unrelenting and unforgiving with the f luctuating temperature and absence of oxygen. This isn’t a movie for the faint of heart. The film’s action sequences puts the viewer in space along with the characters. Most of the film goes from one action sequence to the next. It’s a rare thriller that creates genuine anxiety for moviegoers. Ever since 2009’s Avatar, 3-D has been the popular movie-going experience and an easy way for a studio to make a profit. But it has become a crap shoot. Some pieces look fine in 3-D, but others fail miserably. By far this is the best use of the technology to date. Don’t wait until Gravity is released on Blu-ray or DVD to watch it. It’s the type of movie that demands to be seen in theaters on a large screen. Spend the extra money and see it in 3-D. It’s well worth it. Gravity’s nonstop thrill ride, that has the makings of a real-life nightmare, is one that does everything right from the visuals to the acting.

Volleyball fends off Aggies in five sets Alyse Hensley sets a new career high with 20 kills in the win against UC Davis ANDREW FORTUNA Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team outlasted the pesky UC Davis Aggies on Friday at Titan Gym in a five set thriller. As the match started the Titans took control winning the first set 25-16. Both teams battled tough early, extending plays with great defense and effort dives. The Titans seemed to get stronger as the second set began coming out of the gates with a 7-1 lead. They kept their strong fundamental volleyball going by capturing the set with an impressive 25-11 score. Freshman middle blocker Faith Rockmore and sophomore middle blocker Holland Crenshaw stepped up for the Titans as an important duo in the second set providing some great blocks at the net while also making a few big kills. Heading into the third set, CSUF had complete momentum of the game making the Aggies look tired and unorganized. While it seemed it was over, the match turned at the end of the third set. CSUF had a 24-20 lead and a match point when the Aggies rallied winning four straight points with their backs against the wall tying it at 24-24 and finished closing the set 27-25. UC Davis continued their rally in a tight fourth set by winning it 25-21 evening it up at two sets and sending the game into a deciding fifth set. For the Titans, this felt like the

game against American University all over again when they blew a strong early lead. At this point, the crowd of 348 at Titan Gym was raucous and electric with a lot of UC Davis supporters cheering on their Aggies. In an epic fifth set, the Titans avoided another possible heartbreaking collapse by narrowly winning it 15-11 and an overall 3-2 win. CSUF was paced by senior right-side hitter Alyse Hensley with a career-high 20 kills and 32 digs and fellow senior outside hitter Bre Moreland with a solid 20 kills and digs. Hensley and Moreland carried the Titans in most facets with Moreland providing leadership and a few tricky, and timely kills with Hensley being a force upfront blocking Aggie shots while registering her own kills. Also chipping in for the Titans was junior setter Julie Cosani, who facilitated the offense smoothly, and freshman left-side hitter McKenna Painton, who recorded 26 digs. “Our setter really picked it up tonight, Julie Cosani, she really distributed the sets greatly and our overall fight picked up. We identified our team in the beginning as a team that fights all the time,” Hensley said. On the other side, UC Davis was driven by Kailyn Squyres with 16 kills and Devon Damelio adding 24 digs. They played tremendous defense throughout the whole game stopping would-be kills for the Ti-

tans and keeping the play going. The Aggies showed a lot of perseverance by coming all the way back down from two sets but just didn’t have enough to finish the deal. “We played really good volleyball in the first two sets and at moments I felt we played better than we’ve actually been performing in practice really being efficient and getting the sequences in order but in the third set we didn’t take care of business opened up the door and it’s dangerous and we were fortunate we could turn it around in the fifth set and get the win,” Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman said. The win was huge because it secured much needed momentum heading into Saturday versus Cal State Northridge while also being an all-important first conference win. The Titans improve to 8-7 overall and 1-2 in conference play and the Aggies fall to 9-7 overall and 1-2 in conference. The victory ends a three game losing streak in which the Titans fell to Hawai’i, USC and American. The Titans can take a lot from this game, both negative and positive aspects. The great start to the game shows that this team is actually capable of dominating teams while they need to improve on closing the door and not giving teams numerous chances.

Despite giving up the first goal for the second straight match, it was Maricic saving the Titans from further damage in the first half with two great last ditch efforts to foil Matador forwards breaking behind the CSUF back line. “It was a tale of two different halves again,” Head Coach Demian Brown said. “I think that we made some good changes in the locker room to come out in the second half and we were a completely different team.” Coming out for the second half a goal behind, CSUF ratcheted up the pressure on the Matadors outshooting them 114. But it wasn’t until the Titans won a corner in the 72nd minute and made a quick substitu-

tion, sending Batchellor back into the match, that the team was able put a strike beyond the Matadors’ goal line. Rising high above the Matador defense, Batcheller nodded down the corner off the boot of senior midfielder Erica Mazeau from the right side to level the match at one apiece. The goal was the defender’s second of the season. Mazeau’s assist to Batcheller was her fifth point in five matches. “I knew I just needed to come in and I was going back at centerback but we had a chance at a corner kick and I just needed to help the team out,” Batcheller said. “Erica (Mazeau) put a great ball in like she did against USC and I was right there in my spot.” With momentum on their side following the tying goal, the Titans searched for the match

winner but were turned away multiple times by Matador goalkeeper Cynthia Tafoya. In the resulting overtime periods, each team traded clear cut opportunities, and the Titans narrowly escaped defeat when junior defender Carmen Ortega raced back to clear a Matador shot off the Titan goal line in the second overtime. Ending 1-1, the Titans remain undefeated in Big West play at 1-0-1 and push their overall record to 6-3-4 despite never scoring more than two goals in any single match. “In training we’re constantly shooting. That’s what our key thing is at practice, we’re shooting,” Mazeau said. “We just got to keep practicing and hopefully we will find it one game.” The Titans will hit the road for their next match to take on the UC Riverside Highlanders.

CSUF come away with victory despite being outshot 17-11 in match VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan

Senior midfielder Summer Chavez’s golden goal broke a deadlock less than three minutes into the first overtime period. This helped give the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team a 2-1 victory over the University of Hawai’i in the team’s Big West opener Friday at Titan Stadium. Entering Big West play the Titans looked nothing like the 2012 conference title holders during the match’s opening 45 minutes. The Rainbow Wahine of Hawai’i put the Titans under pressure from the opening whistle with flashy moves on the ball and physical play off of it. With CSUF having difficulty finding their feet and continually losing possession as they tried to enter Hawai’i’s half of the field, the Rainbow Wahine took the early initiative and would have scored in the 27th minute had it not been for the outstanding play by the Titans’ senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic. Making a soaring save to deny Hawai’i freshman midfielder Kama Pascua’s shot destined for the upper corner of the Titan net, Maricic took it upon herself to keep her team level in a match they could have easily been losing 3-0 by halftime. “We struggled a little bit keeping the ball, you know they are a really good team a really quick team,” Maricic said. “So we had to try and figure out how to better stay with them, each team is different. For me, my job is to keep the ball out of the net, simple as that. When I can come out here and I can do that for (my team) it makes me feel really good.” Maricic would finish the match with five saves and her

fourth win so far on the 2013 season. But despite her efforts, Hawai’i would break through with the match’s opening goal in the 58th minute of the match. With a sustained attack in the Fullerton end, the ball eventually landed at the feet of Hawai’i senior defender Karli Look about five yards in from the right touchline. With CSUF defenders surrounding her, Look foiled Titan tacklers twisting and turning on the ball and eventually splitting two defenders before sending a low right footed cross along the top of the 18-yard box. Hawai’i junior midfielder Krystal Pascua’s deft touch with the outside of her boot helped the ball along to her younger sister Kama, who raked a right footed shot from the corner of the arc into the upper left corner of the Titan net. It was a deserved opener for the visitors, who to that point in the match had dominated the Titans thoroughly despite weathering an early onslaught by CSUF to start the second half. But the Titans would not be denied. As luck would have it, one impressive goal on the Hawai’i side would be matched with an even better one off the boot of CSUF senior midfielder and Big West Offensive Player of the Week Erica Mazeau. “We needed a goal like right then, so I just kind of took the ball and that’s what I’ve been practicing since my freshman year, to dribble inside and shoot it far post like that,” Mazeau said of her equalizing goal. Picking up the ball a few yards from the left corner of the Hawai’i penalty area, Mazeau sidestepped one defender before depositing an impressive rightfooted curling shot into the far side of the Hawai’i net in the match’s 61st minute. No stranger to scoring against the Rainbow Wahine, it was Mazeau’s goal last season at Hawai’i that gave the Titans a

1-0 victory in double overtime. With no further scoring in regular time, her strike would be enough to push the Titans and Rainbow Wahine into a second straight overtime contest, where another senior stepped up big for the Titans. Just over two minutes into the overtime period, Chavez, a substitute, picked up a seemingly innocuous ball 40 yards from the Hawai’i goal. Taking on a lone Hawai’i defender, Chavez—cutting the ball quickly from side to side and spinning her marker off balance —eventually uncorked a rightfooted drive from 30 yards out with enough height and speed

With the victory the Titans improved to 4-6-0 on the season and 1-1 in conference play while the Mustangs fell to 8-40 and 1-1 in Big West play. CSUF was able to bounce back from their 3-0 loss to UC Santa Barbara to open Big West play on Friday, and improved their standing in the Big West Southern Division. The Titans also notched their second road win of the season, one more than they had during all of the 2012 season. CSUF is now 2-4 on the road this year, as opposed to their dismal record of 1-7 away from home last year. Fullerton jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when senior defender Jamie Cano scored his second goal of the season on a penalty kick in just the tenth minute of action. The play was a result of a yellow card on Mustang senior defender Connor Drechsler.

The Titans never looked back as they used tight, aggressive defense to confuse and frustrate the Mustangs’ offense. They were able to utilize their ball control strategy to prevent many opportunities for San Luis Obispo to get open and clear shots. Fullerton goalkeeper Brian Escalante was tested in this game, making six saves over his 90 minutes between the pipes. The senior continually thwarted any runs the Mustangs made, and prevented them from tying up the score. The match was the first shutout of the season for Escalante and second for the Titans overall; the other came against Nebraska-Omaha on Sept. 21 with senior Robbie Hannon in the net. San Luis Obispo was given two solid scoring opportunities at the end of the first half when they put up two corner kicks in the 42nd minute, but neither was able to create a shot opportunity. The Mustangs also got five shots on goal in the second half, including one in the 84th minute by sophomore midfielder Chase Minter that appeared to be going in until it hit the crossbar and went out of bounds. This was the last scoring opportunity for the Mustangs, who watched helplessly as Fullerton kept possession and ran out the final five minutes of clock.

San Luis Obispo showed some late frustration when Minter received a red card in the 87th minute following a missed shot attempt by Titans junior forward Amara Soumah. San Luis Obispo sophomore midfielder Matt LaGrassa also picked up a yellow card for his unsportsmanlike actions in the 87th minute. In the game both CSUF and Cal Poly were plagued by the referee’s whistle as they received three yellow cards apiece. Fullerton was called for 14 fouls overall, while the Mustangs committed 13, showing the aggressive nature of the match. Cal Poly also outshot the Titans 16-14, including 6-1 on corner kicks, yet none of their shots found the back of the net. CSUF will next take on the UC Davis Aggies at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 11 at Titan Stadium. UC Davis is 5-5-1 so far this year, including a 2-3-1 mark away from home. The Aggies are coming off a 2-0 home loss to sixth-ranked Cal State Northridge on Sunday. Last season, the Titans lost both of their matches with UC Davis, 2- 1 during the regular season and 2-0 in the Big West tournament.

to catch the Hawai’i goalkeeper off guard. The shot sailed just under the crossbar and into the Hawai’i net and Chavez found herself at the bottom of a CSUF dogpile just beyond midfield after giving the Titans the overtime victory. “You don’t get that moment a lot you know, so it was unreal at

first, like I can’t believe it happened, I can’t believe it went in the net. It was awesome. But I was just relieved, happy, all those good things,” Chavez said of her game-winning goal after the game. “(The dogpile) hurt so bad but it was worth it.” Titans goalie Lindsey Maricic had five saves for the Titans, compared to two by Hawaii

goalkeeper Monk Berger. Hawaii held a 17-11 shot advantage, but CSUF held the 9-4 advantage in corner kicks. The Titans were whistled for 12 fouls, just one more than Hawai’i’s 11. For more information on the CSUF women’s soccer team and all Titan Athletics, go to FullertonTitans.com.
