On the set of Name that Paraphrase, students compete for prizes by naming the proper citation of a source in an essay. A box of No. 2 pencils and a roll of Scantrons are on the line in the Jeopardy!esque game show. The woman wearing the mustache is Sandra Rhoten, associate dean of the Office of Student Conduct. She plays “Sandy Trebek,” on Name that Paraphrase, among other roles in a new series of videos created by the office of Student Conduct. Funded by a $28,000 grant

from the University Mission and Grants Initiative, Rhoten worked with Andi Stein, Ph.D., a communications professor, and Shelley Jenkins, a Radio-TV-Film professor, to write and film the videos. The videos are all spoofs of TV staples, from a parody of the ‘50s sitcom Father Knows Best, to an animated short lampooning today’s Red Bull “gives you wings” commercials. Sesame Street, for example, is reworked into Integrity Street. The scene opens with a puppet version of Cal State Fullerton’s mascot, Tuffy, arguing with his stuffed buddies over what is actually considered cheating. When Sandy the sock puppet shows up, she sets things straight. Academic dishonesty goes

further than just cheating on tests, she explains. The bespectacled sock puppet defines academic dishonesty as “the attempt to gain an unfair advantage or assisting or permitting another to do so.” The videos use humor and fun to make light of a serious topic with serious consequences–a student can be banned from all CSU schools if caught twice. Rhoten handled 271 cases of academic dishonesty from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. Of those, plagiarism was by far the most common case. “It’s easy to do, easy to catch,” Rhoten said. Exam behaviors, cheating during tests, were the second most common. She explained that many students may not be receptive to what academic dishonesty

is and how to avoid it, because it is something they have been taught not to do since very early. However, at the university level, the risks are greater. “Your second grade teacher probably didn’t kick you out for life,” Rhoten said. The videos will be shown to 25 sections of the Univ 100 College Success class, a course intended for first-time college students to explain how to function in the college environment, according to the course catalog. The office worked with RTVF and broadcast journalism students who manned the cameras and the lights. Jenkins directed the segments and co-wrote the script with Rhoten. SEE CHEATING, 2

One in three women will experience relationship violence during their college years, according to the WoMen’s Center. The WoMen’s Center at Cal State Fullerton held a discussion yesterday to address the issue of relationship violence against women and men. Intimate partner violence occurs between two individuals, married or not married, gay or straight, who are involved in a relationship. The discussion was part of a noontime program sponsored by the center, to educate students about the types and the cycle of abuse. This talk was aimed to raise awareness about the warning signs of an abuser, as well as to educate students about exit plans and how to help a friend who may be experiencing a violent relationship. Community educator for a safehouse, Laura’s House, an Orange County safe house for women, Marissa Presley lead the discussion. She examined many types of abuse including economic, digital, and physical abuse. Intimate partner violence affects men and women from all ethnicities, all economic backgrounds and from all professions. Presley has worked with victims as young as 12 years old. “Anyone can find themselves in an abusive relationship because it’s more about power and control,” Rosalina Camacho, coordinator

of the women’s cultural resource center, said. The violence does not have to be physically directly against the victim in order for it to be considered physical violence, Camacho said. Physical abuse can range from kicking and punching, sexual abuse, to destroying the victim’s property. Telling a partner what clothing or makeup to wear is also part of physical abuse, Camacho said. Abuse can also be financial. Economic abuse can take many different forms. Money, housing or vehicles can be withheld from a partner, or a partner may rack up bills on the other’s credit card, Camacho said. Common examples of economic abuse include situations withb unmarried couples who live together. In some situations, one partner threatens to make the other leave because they are not on the lease. Partners are denied access to credit cards or checking accounts to ensure they cannot leave. Digital abuse occurs when one partner threatens to post nude photos online if the other ends the relationship. During the discussion, Presley named the three stages of the cycle of abuse. The first stage is tension between the victim and the perpetrator, the second stage is the act of the physical explosion and the third stage is the apologies and the promises, which perpetuates the cycle. “Domestic violence doesn’t begin with a punch or a slap or a kick, it never does. Domestic violence begins with a word or a look, and the word can be as simple as just shut up,” Presley said. SEE VIOLENCE, 3

Cathleen, who has been a Yellowcard fan since middle school, said her favorite songs include “With You Around” from the 2011 album When You’re Through Thinking Yes and “One Year and Six Months” from the 2003 album Ocean Avenue. Nguyen Tran, 24, said he was not the biggest fan of Yellowcard, but decided to go with his friends anyway to attend the show. “I heard their first single back in ‘06 or ‘07,” Tran said. “I rarely go to concerts, so I am excited.” Fans packed into the House of Blues, fighting inch by inch to get closer to the front row barricades. The Anaheim House of Blues was smaller than most rock concert venues. However, it made up for its size as it provided a more rustic or garage band feel, which heightened the nostalgia. The stage set up was simple. An established band such as Yellowcard didn’t need huge, blaring speakers to veil their sound. It set a vibe reminiscent of a high school’s battle of the bands concert. However, the band’s stardom worked in their favor as they took the audience back to “the good ol’ days,” when their single “Ocean Avenue,” from the album of the same name, became a radio hit.

Disco parody on skates Former University of Arizona roomates take on adaptation of 1980s BRIAN CHESTER

Daily Titan

The Little Theatre will host a roller skating Broadway musical in Cal State Fullerton’s production of Xanadu, opening Friday Oct. 11. Directed by Master’s of Fine Arts grad student Eve Himmelheber, the play is based off of the hit 1980’s musical starring Olivia Newton-John. Xanadu is a musical comedy about a young man who chases his dreams and opens a roller disco. The production requires the entire cast to perform on roller skates. Himmelheber

said she has been involved in other CSUF productions that required the actors to be on skates, which can be a challenge especially in Xanadu. “Most of these students grew up with roller blades, a very different beast from the iconic 1980’s quad roller skates,” Himmelheber said. “Others in the cast have varying roller skate experience, but all have fearlessly embraced the challenge of rolling-choreography: they fall, they get up, and they do it again.” She is working alongside choreographer Bill Lett, who happens to be Himmelheber’s former college roommate from the University of Arizona. Lett has worked for Disney on and off for 14 years and received his master’s degree in dance

Performance Choreography. “My challenge with every show we do is to find the reason that they dance,” Lett said. Xanadu is a parody. It takes the social dances of the 1980s and morphs them so that everything has more of a light hearted feel. Lett said Xanadu’s choreography is basic, which allows the dancers to focus on their dialogue. He said iconic disco dance moves–such as the sprinkler, the running man and barrel of monkeys–are borrowed in the play. “It’s what you would do for a child … it’s juvenile. It’s over exaggerating,” Lett said. “It has to be so far over the top, otherwise it’s just not funny.” SEE SKATE, 6

Cal State Fullerton held a panel featuring three Latina women yesterday night to discuss multiculturalism in their respective professional fields in honor of CSUF’s Hispanic Heritage Week. The panel titled, “On the Course, On the Stage, On the Couch: Is Multiculturalism Important to Latino/as?” was held to celebrate National Latino Heritage Month which began on Sept. 15 and ends on Oct. 15. The title of the talk referred to the three professions of the three panelists: the golf course, the dramatic stage and the psychologist’s couch. Nancy De Los Santos, the panel moderator, said the celebrations begin on the 15th in commemoration of independence days for five different Latin American countries including Costa Rica, El Salvador and Nicaragua. She is an award-winning writer / producer who has worked on films such as Selena and My Family, Mi Familia.

De Los Santos took the panel as an opportunity to talk about what multiculturalism is and how important it is on campus. “(Multiculturalism) is important to be me as a chicana, it’s important to me as a human being and it’s very important to me as a media professional when I see the images that are on television and on the big screen.” The “course” in the panel referred to Azucena Maldonado, founder of the Latina Golfers Association. The organization is designed to introduce women, especially Latinas, to golf for their professional development, personal enjoyment and to promote a healthy lifestyle. “I am absolutely convinced that golf breaks cultural and gender barriers–I’ve seen it myself,” she said. Maldonado said golf is a way for the Latino community to have access to power and influence. She said it’s important to be on the golf field where so many business deals are being sealed. “We’re missing out because we’re not on the green playing golf so I wanted there to be a way for our community to have easy access to a game which unfortunately stereotypically

has been seen as a white man’s game,” she said. “But I assure you, it is not.” The “stage” portion of the panel referred to Cristela Alonzo, a stand-up comedian from Texas. She has performed on shows like Conan, Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson and Gabriel Iglesias’ Stand-Up Revolution. Alonzo is the first Latina woman to have her own sitcom, which will begin filming next spring. She said the goal is to staff the show as soon as possible and with as much diversity as she possibly can. “We’re at a point where we have an African-American president, we have a Latina in the Supreme Court. We’re diverse—so why don’t we put that diversity in everything that we do?” The sitcom, titled Cristela, will follow Alonzo as a 34-yearold college student who dreams of becoming a lawyer, but is forced to stop and start her education to help out her family. “It’s basically like a Latino Roseanne,” Alonzo said. The sitcom is planned to begin next fall and is scheduled to air Friday nights at 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

The “couch” referred to Ana Nogales, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, author and founder of Nogales Psychological Counseling Inc. Nogales founded Casa de Mi Familia, a nonprofit organization that helps victims of human sex trafficking, domestic violence and rape. “(Latinos) don’t seek as much treatment as other communities–we’re very behind–but we’re catching up.” De Los Santos collaborated with President Mildred García’s office to create the event and chose the individual panelists based on her personal relationships with them as well as their experience speaking in public. “They were just three incredible women who I knew were passionate about their areas and would come and share their ideas with us,” De Los Santos said. García said the discussion was intended for all ethnic groups on campus, not just Hispanics. “The panel was very important for me because these individuals represent breaking barriers in all professions,” García said. “It gives students an example of how they can do and break into their profession whatever that may be.”

DTBRIEFS Researchers win Nobel DANIEL OSTRIN

One of this year’s Nobel Prizes was awarded yesterday to a pair of physicists for their substantial research into the existence of the Higgs boson, according to the Orange County Register. Nearly half a century of conceptualization and experimentation has led Francois Englert, 80, and Peter Higgs, 84, to “the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of the mass of subatomic particles,” a report from the Swedish Academy said. Englert, a theoretical physicist at the University Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, is an associate with the Institute for Quantum Studies at Chapman University. Researchers at UC Irvine assisted in the development of the Large Hadron Collider—the device used to detect the particle—and they collected its subsequent data as well. The discovery fills in the missing piece of the Standard Model of Quantum Physics, said Tim Tait, a physicist at UCI. The $1.2 million award will be divided between the duo.

County votes to expand jail ABRAHAM JAUREGUI

A 384-bed jail expansion was approved Tuesday by Orange County supervisors in efforts to enlarge the James A. Musick Facility located between Irvine and Lake Forest, according to the Orange County Register. The upkeep of the additional beds has been estimated to cost $17.2 million to run each year. The new building expansion will include rooms for drug and alcohol rehabilitation and other treatment programs to help inmates and possibly prevent future crimes. This 384-bed expansion is the second approved this year after Sheriff ’s Department officials obtained $100 million in state funding for a separate 512-bed project extension. Currently, Musick has 1,322 beds. Since the state passed Assembly Bill 109, which made counties accountable for housing and supervising state prisoners, Orange County jails have almost hit capacity three times this year.

Italian professor, American history Center of Oral and Public History host University of Rome professor ROBERT REYES Daily Titan

It was more than 50 years ago that Alessandro Portelli came to Westchester High School as a foreign exchange student from Italy. On Tuesday he was back in Southern California, now speaking about his experiences as an oral historian in America at the Center of Oral and Public History’s annual Hansen Lecture series. Portelli, now a professor of American Literature at the University of Rome - La Sapienza, learned from the people of Harlan County, Kentucky, a place known for labor activism. Its history has been retold through works such as the 1976 documentary Harlan County, U.S.A. and Portelli’s 2012 book They Say in Harlan County: An Oral History. As an adult, Portelli found himself in America again, staying with Barbara Dane, blues music’s “great white hope” who dropped her career to sing political songs and protest music. Dane introduced Portelli to folk songs written by the wives of coal miners rallying against capitalism and coal mine bosses. Eventually, folk songs led him to Harlan County, a place in America where all of the country’s history happened more dramatically. From industrialization to today’s drug problem, this region felt issues in a more concentrated way, Portelli said. It was also a place where a Canadian documentarian had been killed for not respecting the locals and their land. Harlan residents were weary of people from New York and Chicago that had come to study the locals. “Being a foreigner, I did not come from a culture that stereotyped them,” Portelli said. Portelli met different characters and captured their

Villagomez held records at her school in track and loved

The Hansen Lecture Series was established five years ago to host nationally known scholars or practitioners in oral and public history. It was named after Arthur Hansen, Ph.D., former director of the Center for Oral and Public History, who was in attendance. “A lot of the students have read his works and because he has really wide-ranging work both in Europe and here in the United States and for that reason we’re really thrilled to have him come join us,” said Cora Granata, associate direc-

tor of the Center of Oral and Public History. Granata and Portelli will be traveling to Oklahoma City on Wednesday with three Cal State Fullerton students to attend the National Conference for Oral History to host a panel based on an oral history project called “From Hitler’s Europe to the Golden State.” They will use interviews from Europeans who lived through World War II and migrated to California. CSUF student organizations like the Cultural and Public History Association (CPHA) and

the European Studies Society also helped organize the event. “There’s so much to learn from this one event in terms of social relations, how (people) interact with one another, how they fit in the broader scheme of our economy, our world,” said Raymond Ortiz, president of CPHA and a second year graduate student studying history. The Center for Oral and Public History is a joint effort between the Department of History and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and it is the largest oral history archive in California.

modeling and dancing, Presley said. Presley pointed out that the media heavily covered Needham’s story, an Iraq veteran who suffered from post traumatic stress disorder, rather than the victim’s story. She said she hopes to see the media perspective change when covering intimate partner violence. Victim blaming was also discussed during the talk. “We wouldn’t blame the victim of a tsunami would we?” Presley asked. “When the per-

petrator is an intimate partner with the victim, we automatically assume it must be something that the victim did. It’s never the victim’s fault, ever.” Even with growing equality between women and men, women are still portrayed as weak and submissive. Women’s roles have changed in society, but the power difference between men and women still exists, Rebecca Dolhinow, Ph.D., associate professor and coordinator of the Women and Gender Studies Program at CSUF, said.

“We need to raise young men and boys that do not accept social relations that push them to dominate the women in their lives but rather strive to live as equals with everyone,” Dolhinow said. Although 95 percent of intimate partner violence in Orange County is committed by men, one in six men reports being abused. Presley said violence against men often goes unreported because men are embarrassed and ashamed. “We’re not ready to talk about domestic violence against men,” Presley said. “Unfortunately they get abused more than you would want to even know.” Currently there are no shelters for men in Orange County. Men who grow up in violent households suffer as well. Boys who are raised in a household where domestic violence occurs are 1,000 times more likely to end up in prison, according to the Department of Justice. There are red f lags that someone a partner may be abusive as early as the first date, Presley said. Red f lags include being rude to a waiter, telling you what to order at a restaurant and discussing a rough childhood on the first date. The first 72 hours after a breakup are the most dangerous. It is important to devise a safe exit plan before leaving the abuser. Go to LaurasHouse.org for more information, or call 800-799-SAFE for immediate help.

The Food and Drug Administration has had to furlough 60 percent of its investigators due to the government shutdown. Salmonella outbreaks in 18 states have sickened nearly 300 people, according to an alert by the Food Safety and Inspection Service. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 42 percent of these people were sent to the hospital but no deaths have been reported so far. This outbreak has been linked to raw chicken that came from California. Some of the patients stated in interviews that this chicken came from Foster Farms. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also attested to these claims in a public health alert. Three Foster Farms facilities are likely responsible for the raw chicken containing salmonella. Effects on the nation’s food supply could continue even after the shutdown ends.

The proposition to construct a high-speed train will bring nothing but positives to the state ERIC GANDARILLA Daily Titan

The dreadful trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco is made even worse when traveling through the Interstate-5, which is surrounded by manure. Luckily, the state is in the process of developing plans to construct a high-speed rail (HSR) system that would link Southern California and Northern California, providing a more efficient travel. In 2008 California voters passed Proposition 1A, thus approving $9.95 billion in initial funding for the HSR. The project would become an alternative form of travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The proposition first passed with an approval rate of 52.7 percent of voters supporting the measure. After five years, public opinion has changed quite a bit. A poll conducted by USC Dornsife and the Los Angeles Times shows that more people are beginning to oppose

The cost of federal inaction is precipitous JAKE WINTER & ELLIOT LAM Daily Titan

Assembly Bill 4, which deals with local law enforcement and undocumented immigrants, sounds vaguely reminiscent to Arizona’s SB 1070. The Arizona bill originally required law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of individuals they suspected of being in the state unlawfully. However, when SB 1070 reached the Supreme Court several provisions of the bill were struck down on the basis that state immigration provisions would create problems for foreign nations seeking to look after the welfare of their citizens in the United States. Writing for the majority opinion, Justice Kennedy said foreign countries should be able to “communicate on this subject with one national sovereign, not the 50 separate States.” Unlike SB 1070, which sought to allow state and local law enforcement to “arrest aliens on the basis of possible removability,”

California’s AB 4 attempts to remove the ability for state law enforcement to detain suspected immigrants unless they have committed a serious crime. Though the two bills seem like almost entire opposites of each other, they were enacted to address the inadequacies of federal immigration enforcement policy. Arizona passed SB 1070 because the state felt there wasn’t enough enforcement. California passed AB 4 because there was too much. AB 4, also known as the Trust Act, was drafted in response to problems arising from the states’ cooperation with the Obama administration’s Secure Communities program. Under the Secure Communities program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be able to access the fingerprints recorded by local law enforcement. If Homeland Security finds a suspect to be in the country unlawfully, they can request local authorities to detain them until they are transferred to federal custody. According to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s website, all individuals who are

booked are fingerprinted, setting aside any concerns of racial discrimination. If the DHS discovers that a fingerprinted individual is indeed an illegal immigrant, the department goes through a thorough process to determine whether or not he or she deserves removal. The department maintains that because they are working with limited resources, their goal is to focus on removing illegal immigrants who have been convicted of a crime, or those who pose a risk to public safety or national security. Experts at the Immigration Policy Center said that in 2011, 26 percent of individuals deported under the program had no criminal record and 29 percent of deportees were convicted of minor criminal offenses. Such evidence contradicts

ICE’s claim that the program aims to focus its efforts on serious criminals. Aarti Kohli, Peter Markowitz and Lisa Chavez of the Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy reported that 3,600 United States citizens have been arrested through the Secure Communities program.

the project, shifting the public opinion. Now only 43 percent of people are in favor of building the HSR, while 52 percent of people are opposed to the idea. The HSR provides a quicker alternative to traveling on land, with a trip clocking in at approximately two and a half hours. The only faster alternative would be to travel by air. Critics of the HSR often bring up the hefty price tag of the project in order to deter construction. While the estimated cost of the completed project is a concern, considering California already has several underfunded programs, it still shouldn’t stop the HSR from being built. The estimated cost of the HSR has swung back and forth in the past couple of years. The initial projection estimated a cost of $35 billion in 2008, but the cost increased to $99 billion two years later. Recently, a new proposed plan reduced the cost to $68 billion. In order to cut costs, the new proposal will recycle already established rails with the new high-speed rails that are set to be built. And it won’t be only California picking up the tab on this project. Along with funding from the state, the HSR will receive additional funding from the federal government as well as private investors. Federal funding has already accounted for nearly $5 billion. This money comes from general federal funding, money allocated from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and from the Department of Transportation. When the project is completed, the California High-Speed Rail Authority predicts that the direct route from Los Angeles to

San Francisco will generate a net-operating revenue of $2.23 billion. Along with this, the project estimates that by the time the Los Angeles to San Francisco route is operational, it will generate 66,000 jobs annually for 15 years. The HSR will also have beneficial impacts on the environment. When the initial section of the HSR is completed in 2022, the Authority estimated that the train will result in a reduction of 100,000 to 300,000 million metric tons of carbon emission in the first year. To put that into perspective, the carbon emission reduction would be the same as taking 17,700 to 53,000 cars off the road. The state of California is growing, and it’s growing quickly. Right now, California has a population of 38 million, by 2030 the population is expected to grow to 50 million. In order to keep up with the growing population, California would have to invest $150 billion to build 4,300 newlanes miles of highway along with 115 additional gates of California airports and four new airport runways, according to the Authority. Building the HSR would alleviate the need to build new highway miles since it would be on its own track and people would ride the train instead of their own car. When put into perspective, the $68 billion that it would cost to build the HSR seems like a much better idea. It will be a difficult task to build an entirely new train system, especially when it costs so much. But sometimes certain risks need to be taken to see a positive emerge. If nobody took risks on infrastructure projects, then cities and states would have never modernized. Why would roads need to be constructed when there were perfectly good dirt trails? What was the need for cars when horses were reliable enough? While this train isn’t an entirely new invention, it’s something that will help California and the United States catch up with foreign countries and propel the state into a new age.

liberties intact, and the potential economic impact from removing key actors of the state’s economy from the picture, moved to enact AB 4 to prevent further damage. The New York Times may have applauded California for address-

ing these shortfalls, but states should not have to compensate for federal policies that have failed to achieve their intended goals. It is not their responsibility.

Tips for shopping online KYMBERLIE ESTRADA

Daily Titan

I’m not going to tell you to save the trouble and precious time by ditching a visit to the mall and purchasing clothes online instead. Because quite frankly, most of you are willing to commit to making the drive, which probably isn’t that far to begin with, to score on big sales. However, many of you completely opt out of shopping for new clothing due to this built up stereotype ingrained in the fashion world. I’m not a “brand whore,” but the name on the tag is definitely a reassuring factor to what makes me click on ‘Confirm Purchase.’ While designer sales may still hold unreasonable prices, retail stores that are more catered to the college demographic, such as Urban Outfitters and H&M, are still priced fairly “high” for the average student. As a former American Apparel retail employee of three years, I can tell you that paying over nearly $50 for a basic zip-up hoody is a little excessive. But I understand the appeal. The signature white zip-up lining and drawcord, the fit and the perfect 50/50 cotton and polyester blend is what makes this “basic” item distinguishable from the “counterfeit” competition. Many students fall short in terms of finance. But I’m telling you now, if you follow these rules you’ll be able to shop the best brands and never pay full price again.

TIPS FOR SHOPPING ONLINE:

2. Sign up for mailing lists Many choose not to sign up for a store’s email lists since it creates clutter to mailboxes. However, I found it much easier to create an email account specifically for receiving store sale notifications. The account for your savvy shopping needs will act as a filtered destination shopping site when you’re in the mood to peruse through deals. These email updates will hint the next big sale so you can be one of first to call dibs before the item goes out of stock. Stores also send out member exclusive deals. Many send out the promo code weeks or days in advance before releasing it to the general public on their website.

3. Search for promo codes If you can’t fully commit to joining a mailing list, then searching for promo codes not already displayed on the retailer’s website is your best bet to save. Several sites are dedicated to help shoppers save money by simply copying and pasting a special letter-word combination at checkout. However, many sites are bogus and give faulty or expired codes. A reliable online coupon site is RetailMeNot.com It tells you when the code was last used, its expiration date and the code’s success rate.

Retailers also offer free shipping year round, but with a catch. If the site is offering free shipping with the purchase of $50 or more, then its worth it. Don’t fall into the trick purchasing over $200 worth of clothes just to save $15 on shipping fees.

5. Know your seasons I’m not a mind-reader or a psychic, but a fashion forecaster sounds accurate. The week before NastyGal had a big threeday shoe sale, I predicted the site would have some type of fall sale. Maybe research and a shoe addiction played in favor of my prediction. I’ve followed various stores’ sales patterns to a T and I am confident about my fashion forecast. Rule of thumb, never purchase clothing when the store is going through a seasonal transition. It never hurts to ask a sales employee when their next big sale will be. If you want to dance around the subject ask when they’ll be changing the mannequins and storefront displays to better suit the season. Season sales are always biggest. Stores are clearing out past sea-

total:

1. Read the customer reviews Customer reviews can tell you an unbiased opinion on an item, as well as a better description than what the site offers. They also can warn you if an item runs larger or smaller than standard sizing and if you should order a full or half-size up or down. I always find customer reviews to be helpful when it comes to the fabric. Even though the site may give close-up images of the clothing, the camera may capture enhance the item, making it appear more “luxurious” than it actually is. Customer reviews can answer your questions if an item is true to size, portrays the exact color seen online and if it’s in good quality.

son’s inventory to make room for the new arrivals for the current seasons. Choosing from a large amount of clothes and accessories can be overwhelming, but so is having to shop in a cluttered, stressful mess that is Forever 21. Fill up the cart and filter your items down to the ones you like the best and set an amount you want to spend.

4. NEVER pay for shipping

500,000

I average about one or two online clothing purchases a month and I have never once paid for shipping. I refuse to pay for shipping because: (A.) The grand total almost matches the in-store full price item. If I’m going to purchase a sale item, I’m going to make sure I’m getting the best deal in comparison if I would have physically went to the store and bought it there. And (B.) Online retailers frequently offer free shipping. This also goes hand-in-hand with rule no. 2. Keep your cart loaded and ready for that email notification that reads, for example, “Free Shipping 3 Days Only.”

GTA V breaks records and surpasses the hype The latest installment allows players to create custom characters online ROBERT REYES Daily Titan

Making $1 billion in sales within the first three days of its release, faster than any other video game or movie, is quite the accomplishment. What’s more impressive is how Grand Theft Auto V’s (GTA 5) story and gameplay still managed to live up to all the hype. It’s been five years since Rockstar Games has updated it’s third person crime series on consoles. The franchise’s newest addition includes better graphics, a captivating story and a new three protagonist system that works well. Set in sun-bathed Los Santos, a thinly-veiled Los Angeles equivalent, Rockstar makes good on it’s reputation for realized worlds and engaging environments. Players can find homages to landmarks from the TCL (formerly Mann’s) Chinese Theater to Pershing Square, and the game’s virtual equivalents to neighborhoods like Hollywood Hills. GTA 5’s plot is structured around a series of heists where players choose a crew and decide

how they will pull off the job. Without spoiling anything, the heists can be some of the most exhilarating parts of the game, but the promised customizability doesn’t feel very robust. After laying down some story groundwork, the player is introduced to the first two of the game’s playable characters, Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton. The former is a retired bank

“The franchise’s newest addition includes better graphics, a captivating story and a new three protagonist system that works well.” robber, who left rich but has a miserable family life. The latter is an African-American in his 20s with a driving ambition to free himself from the world of drug dealing and gangbanging. Clinton attempts this by affiliating himself with sophisticated

and profitable circles of criminality in South Los Santos. A few hours into the game, players meet the last protagonist, Trevor Phillips, a former criminal associate of De Santa. Phillips is an erratic and psychotic meth dealer, who lives in a trailer park in the flat and dusty town of Sandy Shores, north of Los Santos. Each customizable character has their own special ability. Players can select the character’s hairstyle, tattoos and clothes, as well as alter their physical stats and skill ratings. Each attribute goes up the more players use their accompanying skill, similar to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. For example, if you run or bike a lot your stamina will eventually go up. The controls are generally better than past Grand Theft Auto games. The hand-to-hand combat still leaves a lot to be desired, especially compared to last year’s openworld crime game Sleeping Dogs. Fortunately, the game doesn’t require players to get into many physical fights. The shooting mechanic is very lockon heavy, requiring less precision. But, it still creates an enjoyable experience. The driving in the game is

more forgiving than in GTA 4. Although GTA 5 is less realistic, it’s more enjoyable to play. GTA 5 also features a new ambitious online multiplayer mode. Although it is marketed as a massive multiplayer online game, it’s more of a 16 person free mode with missions and instances. The early days of Grand Theft Auto Online have been equal amounts of ambition and frustration. Despite patching in the online

multiplayer mode weeks after the game’s initial release, it was buggy to say the least. Common issues include trouble starting up the game, loading up key missions and some have actually lost mission progress and money. The last is especially troubling considering GTA Online supports microtransactions, meaning you can buy game money with real life cash. It will take time to see how

the multiplayer mode pans out as Rockstar continues to push patches to consoles. But up to this point, GTA Online has proved that online competitive drug running can not only be financially beneficial, but also fun. With amazing but subtle art direction, an engaging story, memorable characters, and a slew of side content, GTA 5 pulls off the role of “quintessential blockbuster” quite well.

Courtesy of Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto V delivers with better controls, new settings, a new story and three new protagonists.

MARIAH CARRILLO / Daily Titan

“Anaheim, California is the first city that Yellowcard first sold out a show,” lead singer and guitarist Ryan Key said during the show. Key pumped up the crowd by establishing ground rules: “If you leave the building able to speak you’ve done something wrong. It’s required that you lose your voice tonight.” Yellowcard pulled out the acoustic guitars as they played “Ocean Avenue.” This was the cherry on top to the already rustic feel of the show. The alternative rock band opened with “Way Away,” their first song on the album Ocean Avenue, and powered through with crowd favorites such as “Breathing” and “Believe.” Key backed off the mic to let the crowd finish “Empty Apartment.” Celebrities like Top Gear USA co-host Rutledge Wood and competitive drifter Ken Gushi attended the show; they took time to rock out with fans as well. The second half of the show went full-on rock with electric guitars playing tracks from their fifth studio album, Lights and Sounds, released in 2006. Sean Mackin, violinist and backup singer, impressed the fans by doing a backflip on stage. The show ended with the electric guitar version of “Ocean Avenue,” a landmark of the band’s career. Sunday’s concert marked the end of Yellowcard’s Ocean Avenue Tour.

The pop/rock band ended their Ocean Avenue 10th anniversary tour and performed to a sold-out crowd at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Sunday, Oct. 6.

The adaptation exaggerates the movie. The play comes across as silly and playful, unlike the romantic, seriously disco-fevered original. “If you hated the film, you might love the musical; and if you loved the film, you will love the musical even more,” Himmelheber said. The Little Theatre was chosen for Xanadu’s production because of its size. It’s big enough to allow dancers to move freely and comfortably around the stage. “The technical demands (visually filling the largest space we have, lighting all areas adequately, allowing for automated scenery shifts and the ability to ‘f ly’ in scenery from above) were all considered when designing the show last spring,” Himmelheber said. Himmelberg said aside from the play’s over the top screenplay, it has a deeper meaning. “I think the whole point of the show is follow your dreams, nothing’s impossible,” Lett said. “Believe in love, and sometimes love is worth, and your dreams are worth giving up everything for. If you look beyond the comedy, I think

that’s really the heart of the show.” Spenser Micetich, 19, a musical theater sophomore who plays the part of Zeus in the show, said it is important to find the right balance between music and comedy. “If you find something that needs a little polishing or that you felt didn’t go the way it should have, you can tweak it

to make it work,” Micetich said. “But with comedy, once you find something that works, it’s best not to change it. Xanadu uses dance to express emotions that words fail to convey. “If you’re happy, you dance and if you’re angry, you dance. It’s a surprising outlet for letting go of your emotions,” Micetich said.

Himmelheber said the final statement by the character Zeus sums up the message of the show. “Myopic mortal, that is the greatest achievement any of you might hope for. To love someone else and create art. That is … Xanadu!” Tickets are $11 for general admission and $10 with advance Titan discount.

Symphony Orchestra and Czech quartet tie strings CSUF will collaborate with special musical guests Saturday night at Meng Hall HELENA REED Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton’s University Symphony Orchestra will be joined by a string quartet hailing all the way from Prague, Czech Republic. The performance will be held Saturday at 8 p.m. at Meng Concert Hall. Although the Orchestra is made up of a woodwinds, string, percussion and brass section, Saturday’s performance will only feature the group’s string section. The internationally renowned Talich Quartet consists of two violins, a viola and a cello player. The concert will be conducted by CSUF associate professor of music Kimo Furumoto. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/DETOUR

The Talich Quartet will “blend in” with the Symphony Orchestra’s musicians, Furumoto said. Faculty members and alumni will also perform alongside the collaboration, with the Talich Quartet leading the group. Furumoto said the concert was all in part of the relationship between CSUF violin professor Ernest Salem and Talich Quartet’s first violinist Jan Talich. The two studied the violin under the same instructor during graduate school in London. It was a unique collaborative effort since an orchestra requires a conductor while a quartet does not, Furumoto said. “It’s sort of a unique kind of crossover kind of a concert in that sense, that it’s partly chamber music as in non conducted and partly a larger

ensemble, so it’s a little bit of both,” Furumoto said.

“It’s sort of a unique kind of crossover kind of a concert ... it’s partly chamber music as in nonducted, so it’s a little bit of both” Kimo Furumoto

Conductor of University Symphony Orchestra Furumoto said the state-ofthe-art Meng Hall allows for “a wonderful acoustic,” which plays in favor to the orchestra’s performances.

“It really in a sense is an instrument in of itself,” Furumoto said. Most of the music at Sunday’s concert will be works by Czech composers. Furumoto said he is looking forward to the students’ reactions and what they will learn from the established professional musicians. Jessica Ragsdale, 23, a music major, said Furumoto “usually picks great selections of music.” Taylor Estep, 19, a music education major, said he will be attending the concert and looks forward to learning more about his field. “Music is a mirror to society and what’s going on around us,” Estep said. “There’s nothing that can compare to that experience of live performance and music on this level,” Furumoto said. Tickets are $15 and $13 with an advance Titan discount.

Titans open with fall scrimmage Six pitchers saw their first game action of the season during scrimmage IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The Titans baseball team began fall training looking to improve their impressive 2013 season, where they finished tenth in the country according to Baseball America. The Titans kicked off their fall play with their first scrimmage on Saturday, which was open to public spectators. While the scrimmage didn’t have significant attendance like the home games, there was still a relatively noticeable turnout. The Titans’ scrimmage was between their batters and pitchers. Six Titan pitchers took the mound in five innings of action. Sophomore starting ace Thomas Eshelman started the game on the mound for the Titans. Junior pitcher Grahamm Wiest followed Eshelman. The other pitchers who got some work in the scrimmage were senior Christian Coronado and freshmen Chad Hockin, Miles Chambers and Shane Stillwagon. This scrimmage was no breeze for the Titans, but they played through strong winds on Saturday. “The outfielders had a tough day. The wind played some tricks on them and I’m sure somewhere along the line we’re gonna play a game when it’s windy. At least we got to practice it,” Head Coach Rick Vanderhook said. Another area where the Titans didn’t do as well they had hoped was pitching.

“I thought the pitchers could have thrown with a little bit more conviction, but it’s the first time the pitchers have seen a hitter in a while. I think the hitters won today. We had a decent day,” Vanderhook said. While the hitters outperformed the pitchers, the team will look to keep improving on their fundamentals. “We need to improve on everything. All we strive to do is get a little bit better every single day,” Vanderhook said. As the pitchers look to get back on track from their dominant performances last season, the Titans will look to fill big shoes with star players such as Michael Lorenzen and Carlos Lopez gone. Junior third baseman Matt Chapman and junior first baseman J.D. Davis are looking to recover from injuries too before the season starts. “J.D. (Davis) got hurt the first day of practice on Friday and hyperextended his knee a little bit. Chapman had surgery. He had to have that a couple of weeks ago so he’ll be out most of the fall. We’re gonna take care of them and not rush what they do and prepare more for the spring. We’ll see how things fall into place then,” Vanderhook said. Chapman suffered a torn ligament on his ring finger. Chapman’s veteran experience will be vital to the Titans’ season if they hope to continue their success, considering the majority of their roster has underclassmen. The pitching staff returns all three starters in Eshelman, Wiest and sophomore Justin Garza. The Titans also received an added bonus in Phil Bickford,

who was drafted 10th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2013 first-year player draft. However the Blue Jays failed to sign him and he chose to attend Cal State Fullerton. Eshelman and Garza will look to avoid the dreaded “sophomore slump” as they head into

their second year with CSUF. “Phenomenal is an understatement. We’re just gonna take them a day at a time. They’re focused to go and they understand the past is the past. We have five guys that I think can all be quality starters,” Vanderhook said.

Although the pitchers’ initial struggles will be accounted for, they will look to put any struggles they may endure behind them before the season starts. Although the Titans had their natural growing pains on their first day of fall scrimmages, they will look to overcome those

obstacles as fall ball continues. The Titans will continue their fall scrimmages through Saturday, Nov. 16 which is also Family Fun Day. Their final scrimmage will be held at 1 p.m. For information on CSUF baseball and all Titan Athletics, go to FullertonTitans.com.

Volleyball travels inland Titans look to avoid losing to Riverside for first time since the 2004 season IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team finished their first homestand of Big West play after splitting the weekend series. Their first Big West win came against UC Davis on Friday followed by a loss to Cal State Northridge on Sunday. The Titans’ win against UC Davis went down to the wire, and they came out on top 3-2. Their game against CSUN wasn’t so lucky though. CSUN swept the Titans, although the first and third sets were both close. They lost the first set 25-23 before getting blown out in the second 25-12. The third set was extremely close, with CSUF losing 26-24. The Titans have cooled off since starting the season on a positive note, losing four of their last five matches. Some of these losses included tough matches against second-ranked USC and

third-ranked Hawai’i. The Titans will begin their road trip and continue Big West play, hoping to find momentum again. Their road trip starts this weekend at UC Riverside. The Titans’ record currently stands at 8-7 with their Big West record at 1-2. The Highlanders’ record stands at 1-14, and they come into the game with a sixgame losing streak. The Titans and the Highlanders last met on Nov. 3, 2012 and the Titans won that match 3-1. CSUF has won 16 consecutive meetings against Riverside and their series record against the Highlanders is 23-4. The last time the Titans lost to the Highlanders was on Oct. 28, 2004 at Titan Gym in five sets and CSUF aims to continue Riverside’s woes. CSUF will look to senior right side hitter Alyse Hensley and senior outside hitter Bre Moreland to pace them against Riverside. Hensley has a team high 158 kills and 2.98 kills per set and Moreland closely trails Hensley with 154 kills and 2.91 kills per set. Hensley and Moreland each have 177 digs this year. Fresh-

man libero McKenna Painton leads the Titans in digs with 191. Junior setter Julie Consani continues to be their ace facilitator with 577 assists this year. Consani has a career 1,535 assists which ranks seventh all time in Fullerton history. Consani needs 237 assists to tie Jenna Carney, who sits in sixth. The Titans head into their road trip with their hitting percentage at .186, they have 12.81 kills per set, 17.51 digs per set and 12.06 assists per set. They have held their opponents to a .158 hitting percentage. Although no match is a guaranteed win, this match shouldn’t be too difficult for the Titans as the Highlanders rank last in five categories. These categories include hitting percentage, opponent hitting percentage, assists per set, kills per set and blocks per set.
