Water line repair underway A chilled water leak has been contained, but repairs will cost roughly $10,000

SAMUEL MOUNTJOY Daily Titan About 1,000 gallons of water leaked from an underground chilled water line beneath the bridge connecting McCarthy Hall and Clayes Performing

Arts Center last week, according to Cal State Fullerton officials. It is estimated that the leak will cost roughly $10,000 to fix. Chilled water is distributed around campus from the two 1,310 ton absorption chillers in the CSUF Central Plant to air conditioning units around campus.

Facilities Operations began work to repair the leak Friday. The leak has been contained, but further work is required to completely repair the water line. In order to complete the repairs, the chilled water system will need to be briefly shut down at a time which will not affect classes. The leak was detected Wednesday when Facilities

Operations workers noticed water in the tunnel system near the central plant. The incident is not connected to the estimated $150 million in deferred maintenance at CSUF. The line was 10 years old and within its expected life cycle. Its failure is considered an anomaly, officials said.

Campus centers to relocate Accessibility and use of space spurred location changes for Honors, Scholars and Senate

LAUREN GAMACHE Daily Titan This semester, multiple student organizations will relocate as a result of a high demand for space and in an effort to be more accessible to students and staff. The University Honors Center, President’s Scholars, Guardian Scholars, Future Scholars and the Academic Senate will all be moving from their current locations to new spaces to make better use of campus space. The move will come with a $470,000 price tag for the new Honors and Scholars center as well as reconfiguration of space for the Academic Senate. This move means that the University Honors Center, which has been in the library since 1999 when it opened, will now have to share a space. The center has had its own location since it was created and the move to the back of the library has raised concerns about accessibility. Joyce Kropacek, the Office Manager of the University Honors, is worried that being in a smaller, less visible space will make it more difficult for students to access the center. Another concern she has is that the new space will not be large enough for all of the students who currently come in to collaborate with friends, study and use the computers. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

“We’re put all the way in the back right now,” Kropacek said. “Everybody is in the front, we’re way in the back.” The Academic Senate, currently located in McCarthy Hall 143, will move to the current location of the University Honors Center. Moving the Academic Senate to the library will provide more space for new staff as well as a place for the senate committee to meet, said Gladys Maldoon, the executive assistant to the Provost. Once the Academic Senate vacates McCarthy Hall, it will become the Faculty Affairs and Records work room. Currently, Honors and Scholars resources are located throughout campus. The University Honors Center is located in room 120 in Pollak Library North, Guardian Scholars in the TitanShops and Presidents Scholars in McCarthy Hall Room 103. The University Honors Center will move to the south side of the library across from the circulation desk. The move will unite these programs into one center, providing honors students the ability to collaborate with students in different programs. Deanna Merino-Contino, director of President’s and Futures Scholars at Cal State Fullerton, said she is excited for this new opportunity for all of the honors students to learn from each other and to be exposed to the different programs. No definitive date has been set for the centers to open.

“All That Jazz” is the theme of this year’s Concert Under the Stars. The show will feature all types of jazz from all eras. The concert is CSUF’s major fall fundraiser.

Concert Under the Stars returns with “All That Jazz” CSUF raises funds with different eras of jazz DEANNA GOMEZ Daily Titan Last year, Cal State Fullerton’s Concert Under the Stars returned with a bang. Performers like alumna Kirsten Vangsness, best known for her role as Garcia on the show Criminal Minds, entertained the thousands in attendance. The show, entitled I Believe in Music, raised an estimated $30,000 for student scholarships and programs. This year, the program hopes to continue building momentum. The concert will take place this Saturday with the theme “All that Jazz.” The program will follow jazz throughout the ages, from swing to hip hop. Similar to last year, the program

will include performances by CSUF faculty, alumni and students. The headliner for this year’s program is faculty member Bill Cunliffe, a Grammy Award-winning arranger, jazz pianist and composer. Cunliffe is a five-time Grammy nominee. His most recent nomination came in the Best Instrumental Composition category. In 2009, he won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement for his piece West Side Story Medley. Concert-goers will get the chance to hear the piece during the performance. Cunliffe is the director of the CSUF Jazz Orchestra, Jazz Big Band and Latin

Ensemble. The Jazz Orchestra is releasing an album on Oct.1 that features music by both the Jazz Big Band and Latin Ensemble. Concert-goers will have the opportunity to buy a copy of the album at the event before the official release. R&B singer Freda Payne is also featured on the album. Payne, who has worked with Cunliffe before, performed her hit song Band of Gold on the record, something she hadn’t done in 42 years . Cunliffe believes the show will be better than last year’s. He has worked with the performers before and believes that everyone, whether they are jazz fans or not, will have a good time.

“Oh it’s going to be better this year. We’ve got pretty much a full orchestra, we’ve got a jazz band, string section, plus a symphony and french horns. And we’ve got a bunch of really great singers and we’ve got dancers,” Cunliffe said. Cunliffe chose all of the performers himself. Although all of the music that night will be jazz, Cunliffe wanted to make sure to include a variety of jazz music for concert-goers to enjoy. Joining Cunliffe are faculty members Patricia A. Prunty, Mark J. Goodrich, Kimo Furumoto and fellow Grammy-winning composer, John Proulx. SEE JAZZ

CYNTHIA WASHICKO Daily Titan Two adjacent vending machines were vandalized at around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, the third and fourth instances of vending machine vandalism in two weeks. University Police believe the same individual or individuals vandalized

all of the machines. The recently-vandalized machines are located outside of College Park. One, a Pepsi machine, showed damage to the top of the face of the machine and the other, a snack vending machine, had the outer layer of glass broken. The inner layer of glass was not damaged. Nothing appeared to have been stolen. Two very similar cases of vandalism occurred on Aug. 24. A machine outside

of the Humanities Building and another outside Langsdorf Hall were also damaged in the same way—one layer of glass was broken and nothing was stolen. The cases are still under investigation and no suspects have been identified, according to University Police. Information on the vandalism can be reported to University Police at (657) 278-2515.

SAMUEL MOUNTJOY Daily Titan University Police is seeking information on a man who swung and spat at a professor in the Clayes Performing Arts Center on Aug. 29. Eyewitnesses described the unidentified suspect as a 6-foot-1-inch to 6-foot-3-inch

male of Asian descent in his late 20s, of medium build, with black-rimmed glasses and a long, brown ponytail. The man was banging items near Performing Arts Room 139 when two professors went to investigate the noise. He confronted one male professor and challenged him to a fight. The man attempted to punch the professor, but did not hit him.

Following the confrontation, the man entered an office and proceeded to knock items off a desk. He fled CPAC toward the Visual Arts building, then ran across Nutwood Avenue, heading south of campus. He has not been identified and there is no evidence that he is a student. Contact University Police at (657) 278-2515 with any information on the incident.

Six California props to prepare yourself for this election season ALEX GROVES Daily Titan Proposition 1: Water Quality, Supply, and InfraStructure Improvement Act of 2014 This act would authorize $7.12 billion in general obligation bonds for various water-related infrastructure improvements. Improvements would include water recycling, advanced water treatment technology and the implementation of groundwater storage systems. Gov. Jerry Brown has pushed for a similar bond with a smaller price tag, saying the current bond has unreasonably high costs, according to the Sacramento Bee. Proposition 2: Rainy Day Budget Stabilization Fund Act An amendment to the California constitution that would change previously-established requirements for California’s rainy day fund. If the ballot measure gets approval from voters, the state controller would have to deposit 1.5 percent of general revenues gained each year into the rainy day fund. The bill does call for smaller local reserves for school districts. Half of these revenues would be used to pay off the state’s existing debts and the other half would be used in case of fiscal emergencies in which the state’s spending must exceed what’s allotted in its normal budget. Supporters have backed it as a fiscally responsible approach to the state’s finances on the part of state legislators, while critics

have said that the resulting cuts in education could harm students. Proposition 45: The Public Notice Required for Insurance Company Rates Initiative Added to the ballot by petition, Prop 45 would require that a state insurance commissioner review an insurance company’s decision to raise its coverage rates. The commissioner would have the power to approve or deny the proposed hike. Critics of the initiative claim that it will increase government bureaucracy by establishing a new commission in Sacramento. Advocates, however, say it will increase transparency for insurance companies. Proposition 46: Drug and Alcohol Testing of Doctors, Medical Negligence Lawsuits Under this initiative, doctors would be required to be drug tested and health practitioners would be required to check a prescription drug history database before prescribing certain medications. It also increases the $250,000 pain and suffering cap to $1.1 million in medical negligence lawsuits and would increase that rate on a yearly basis for inflation. The potential cost to the state could run into the tens of millions. Proponents of the initiative have said it will save lives by reducing the number of drug-addicted doctors and patients, while critics say it will increase the likelihood of unnecessary medical malpractice lawsuits.

Proposition 47: Reduced Penalties for Some Crimes Initiative Prop 47 would require a misdemeanor sentence rather than a felony for crimes that are “non-serious, nonviolent,” specifically with regard to some drug and property offenses. Critics have cited that it could result in a high volume of individuals being released from prisons and that it would make offenses like possessing date rape drugs lesser crimes. Advocates have said it could save hundreds of millions of dollars each year, money that could be applied to preventing school truancy and dropouts. Proposition 48: Indian Gaming Compacts Referendum The only referendum on the ballot this November, Prop 48 would facilitate an agreement between the State of California and North Fork Rancheria tribe of Mono Indians and the Wiyot tribe. The North Fork would be able to build a casino in Madera County, but would have to pay the state approximately $10 million over a 20-year period, in addition to a one-time payment between $16 million and $35 million to local and municipal entities. Advocates said the casino could create increased revenue for state and local governments in the long run, but critics contend that the casino could bring increased crime and pollution to the area in Madera County where it will be located.

West Nile Virus continues to spread throughout Orange County, with at least 91 people infected as of last week, according to the Orange County Register. West Nile Virus has caused three deaths this summer, with 80 percent of tested mosquitoes found to be infected with the virus. The sickness stems from infected birds that mosquitoes bite before biting humans. The hardest-hit neighborhoods will be sprayed with pesticide at least twice a week, and residents are warned to stay indoors for at least 30 minutes after the spraying. - BRITTANEY CARPENTER

OC judge censured for sex Orange County Superior Court Judge Scott Steiner is being censured for having sex in his chambers on multiple occasions with two former law students, according to the Orange County Register. The judge was elected to the Superior Court bench in 2010. Allegations against Steiner came to light in 2013, but an investigation concluded with no charges being filed. Steiner has also been disciplined by the California Commission for Judicial Performance for multiple infractions, including trying to help one of his sex partners get a job at the Orange County District Attorney’s office. It is unclear whether Steiner will run again when his term expires in 2017. - HEATHER MYERS

American Apparel settles suit American Apparel has agreed to pay $1 million to settle a lawsuit over the death of an employee, according to the Los Angeles Times. The employee, Tuan Phan, died due to a knitting machine accident at the store’s Garden Grove facility. The retailer failed to lock the machine which was undergoing maintenance at the time, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s office. The machine restarted when Phan entered the knitting cage, killing him. American Apparel settled the suit to avoid paying litigation costs, but says it does not believe any safety laws were violated. - HEATHER MYERS

Flags adorn the lawn in front of the Student Recreation Center at last year’s Sept. 11 commemoration held by the College Republicans club at Cal State Fullerton. Each flag is inscribed with a victim of the terror attacks. This year marks the 13th anniversary of the attacks that killed 2,977 in 2001.

Students to commemorate Sept. 11 College Republicans club to memorialize Sept. 11 terror attack victims on SRC lawn

BRITTANEY CARPENTER Daily Titan The victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks will be honored by the Cal State Fullerton College Republicans club Thursday morning on the Titan Recreation Center lawn. This will be the second 9/11 memorial the College Republicans have hosted.

“

I want to remind peple that this is something that we should never forget, that we should always honor these people...

“

MEAGAN MATHIESON President, College Republicans English Professor Janet Eyring, the organization’s advisor, is proud of the initiative that the students have taken. “They are carrying a banner that 35,000 people should be behind,” Eyring said. “It’s on a level that impacted the whole nation, and to forget that and not

give it due attention is very irresponsible.” The memorial is a public event open to the community. Guest speakers include U.S. Congressional Candidate Arturo Alas (R - San Gabriel Valley), U.S. Marine Martin Zapien, Fullerton Mayor Pro Tem Greg Sebourn and Associated Students, Inc. President Harpreet Bath. Donations will be collected for the nonprofit veterans service organization Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) at Thursday’s event. The club will be distributing flags at the event, each with a 9/11 victim’s name inscribed on it. The flags are then placed on the SRC lawn. While the College Republicans have stronger connections to other Republican groups, they reach out to other parties and political affiliations for an event as important as this 9/11 memorial, said College Republicans President Meagan Mathieson, a political science student. Mathieson hopes that the event Thursday will remind those attending of the importance of remembering 9/11. “Following the attacks, the big thing that went around was ‘Never Forget,’” she said. “I feel like in recent years that you don’t hear people saying that anymore

AMANDA SHARP / DAILY TITAN FILE PHOTO

This year’s commemoration is the second the campus College Republicans club has hosted.

... I want to remind people that this is something that we should never forget, that we should always honor these people, that we should always have a day of remembrance.” Eyring agreed that understanding and remembering the significance of the 2001

terror attacks may avoid a repetition of this tragedy. For more details regarding the event, Mathieson’s contact information can be found on the 9/11 memorial flyers distributed throughout the campus, and also on the announcement page of the student and faculty portal.

LOUD silence

Three different artists with impairerd hearing create conceptual art pieces that portray their perception of sound and challege the idea that deaf individuals live in a world of total silence. The gallery is on display until Dec. 6 at the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana.

Exhibit refutes concepts of silence LOUD silence displays art representative of the deaf community at Grand Central

CIARA GUTERREZ Daily Titan The LOUD silence exhibition, currently located at the Grand Central Art Center, has created a way to explore the idea that the deaf world might not be as silent as many would assume. As a Ph.D. student in art history at UC San Diego, Amanda Cachia is proud to curate an exhibition such

as this one that is close to her heart and the heart of her research. Her exploration of art over the last three to four years has always landed her at the intersection of disability and contemporary art. The focus of her recent studies has been what sound and silence mean for individual artists that might have different hearing capacities. The show focuses on the artwork of artists Shary Boyle, Darrin Martin, Alison O’Daniel and Christine

Sun Kim. Each artist has a different hearing capacity and different experiences with sound, and their artwork deepens in richness as they explore the world of silence, according to Cachia. “The goal is to sort of explore the myth that the deaf world is a silent world. I am really hoping that translates to people when they see the show,” Cachia said. Each piece of artwork is meant to convey a new

perspective for the audience. Boyle’s featured film installation, Silent Dedication, is an emotive example. The film depicts a woman communicating in American sign language and was created in order for her to explore what the idea of silence actually means. Boyle’s piece demonstrates that silence is not empty nor a vacuum, instead it can be a place of imagination and a place that all individuals can

relate to because it is our own internal world, according to Cachia. Silent Dedication also explores the concept that the act of silencing can be a violent act. Cachia uses the example that society might silence the voices of marginalized communities. The gallery is filled with many more pieces of artwork, including prints, drawings, videos and audio works used to express the variety of relationships with sound and the concepts these artists wish to

share with the world. The exhibition will end on Dec. 6 at the Santa Ana location. However, according to Cachia, the exhibition has been approved for a tour. The Grand Central Art Center’s director, John Spiak, has agreed to take the show to Cachia’s University, UCSD, in the winter. LOUD silence will open again at the gallery@calit2 at the UCSD campus on Jan. 22, 2015 and will run until March 13, 2015.

Jazz: Outdoor concert returns CONTINUED FROM

Other performers include alumni Tom Ranier, Dawn Bishop, Flavio Apro and Joey De Leon. The CSUF Jazz Singers will also take the stage, as will a team of dancers under the guidance of faculty member Macarena Gandarillas. Audience members will also get to see a familiar face on stage as President Mildred García joins in on the fun during the performance. Concert Under the Stars has been CSUF’s signature fall fundraiser for 25 years, despite the three year hiatus between 2009 and 2012. The goal of the concert

is to further extend CSUF’s reach in Orange County and throughout Southern California. Funds from the event go to student scholarships and programs. “If people don’t like jazz they should come anyways because they’re gonna like it, because it’s really fun,” Cunliffe said. “Jazz is really fun music to listen to and to hear, and the dancing is gonna be awesome. They’re gonna love the dancing. Its like Dancing with the Stars but with better music.” Gates open at 5 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Reserved seating is currently sold out, but free lawn seating is available for all who wish to attend.

Last fall semester, Concert Under the Stars raised an estimated $30,000. This semester’s show hopes to raise even more.

While most students are shuffling back in the halls of Cal State Fullerton, those in the Department of Theatre and Dance are getting straight to work preparing their fall season shows. As usual, this semester features a mix of comedies and dramas from the classics and contemporaries. This season opens with Hearts Like Fists by Adam Szymkowicz. Directed by Oanh Nguy-

en, this superhero comedy tells the story of a group of masked crimefighters attempting to stop the evil Doctor X from spreading his deadly serum to all the lovers in town. This theatrical comic book parody explores themes of the dangers and fears of pursuing love, and opens on Sept. 26 in the Hallberg Theatre. The laughter continues throughout the beginning

of the semester with Is He Dead?, a play adapted by David Ives from a rare Mark Twain play of the same title. This is the second Ives adaption to be produced this year after last semester’s comedy The School For Lies. Set in Paris in 1846, Is He Dead? is the story of a love-stricken painter in debt to a crooked art dealer. He devises a plan to fake his own death in order to make his paintings sell more so he can settle his debt and win the girl of his dreams. The adaption is directed by Joseph Arnold, Ph.D and will open on Oct. 10 in the Young Theatre. Later in October, dancers take the stage in Fall Dance Theatre. The show is a “brave adventure in story-telling, dreams, desires, lyricism, love and loss,” as stated on the Department of Theatre and Dance website. The show is coordinated by Gladys Kares and will open in the Little Theatre on Oct. 23. The fall season takes a historical turn with The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee. The historical drama is directed by Mark Ramont, who also directed last semester’s And Then There

courtesy of

Were None. Henry David Thoreau believed that “If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law.” He put this belief into action by refusing to pay taxes in protest of America’s involvement in the Mexican War, which landed the author a night in jail. The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail opens on Nov. 7 in the Young Theatre. This season’s musical is the Tony Award-winning Broadway classic Kiss Me, Kate, directed

Cal State Fullerton

The Department of Theatre and Dance prepares for their season of various plays, musicals and dance shows.

by Jeremy Lewis and Eve Himmelheber. Lewis and Himmelheber directed last semester’s The School For Lies and Legally Blonde, The Musical. Kiss Me, Kate is the story of two divorced performers who end up working together in a Shakespeare-based musical. The show features music and lyrics by Cole Porter and opens in the Little Theatre on Nov. 21. Tickets for this semester’s productions can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office.

A&E Apple releases new line of electronics

PAGE 5 WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 2014

New iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and the new Apple Watch will soon be on the market.

ERIC GANDARILLA Daily Titan Last month, Apple announced that on Sept. 9 they would be holding an event to announce their new products. The only thing they said about the event was, “Wish we could say more.” They delivered. Apple announced a whole slew of new products. The key announcements of the event were the iPhone update, Apple Pay and the Apple Watch. This time around, Apple dropped the familiar “i” that comes before their product names and instead called the new product “Apple Watch.” But it’s only a watch in name, essentially functioning as a stand-alone device that just happens to sit on the wrist. The watch has its own apps that can be controlled directly through the watch, but it also uses a paired iPhone—connected through the bluetooth function— for other apps. Customers can navigate the device through a combination of touch screen and analog controls. Two physical buttons sit on the side of the watch. One is the “crown,” a dial that is used to zoom in and out in certain apps. The other is the communication button. This button sends users to a friends list where they can send messages or even their heartbeat to friends.

iPhone 6 plus MIKE TRUJILLO / DAILY TITAN

The Apple Watch will come in two sizes, a smaller and larger version. Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be released Sept. 19.

Sending heartbeats is possible because of the sensors located behind the face of the watch. The heart rate sensor, along with the new health app coming to iOS 8, shows a clear fitness-centric direction for Apple. Another year means another iPhone, and this year’s update brings a new

look for the company’s flagship phone. The iPhone 6 will come in two variants, a new move for the Cupertino-based company. Apple generally only releases one version of their flagship model. This year the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus will be a departure from that strategy.

The base model will cost $199 and will have a 4.7 inch screen. The iPhone 6 Plus will be a larger version, a 5.5 inch screen. The current model (iPhone 5) has a four inch screen, so both of the new models will be larger than what current users are accustomed to. The new phones will

feature an A8 processor, supposedly 25 percent faster than its predecessor, and a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip that will allow people to use their phone as a credit card replacement. Users will be able to essentially treat their phone as a credit card. Instead of swiping a credit card

through a machine, they’ll place their phone near a sensor. The sensor will recognize the phone and the payment will go through. Apple has partnered with many of the most popular retailers to ensure that their users actually have places that they can go to in order to take advantage of this new feature.

Becker hosts Whittier-based blues band These Pilgrims will be bringing their unique style of blues to the Becker Amphitheater

FRANK REYES Daily Titan Blues band These Pilgrims will bring their unique sound to the Becker Amphitheater on Wednesday. The outdoor concert is part of a bi-weekly series of concerts organized by Associated Students, Incorporated Productions (ASIP), which will organize several concerts throughout the rest of the school year. The Whittier-based band blends traditional blues sounds with psychedelic rock and gypsy rock, according to their website

and Facebook profile. These Pilgrims’ mixture of acoustic guitars, a stand-up bass, an accordion and a mandolin gives them a more modern feel than most blues bands, but their distinctive sound and “old-timey” feel is a tip of the cap to a bygone era in the blues genre. They released a fivetrack EP album titled Dang Ol’ EP in July 2013, and have been playing several local venues since, including The Night Owl and 2J’s Cocktail Lounge in downtown Fullerton where they had a weekly residency. “We were all playing in bands together, but separately, and were growing pretty bored. Then when we went to Hardly Strictly (a bluegrass festival in San

Francisco), we were introduced to artists like Seasick Steve and we knew we wanted to emulate that sound,” the band stated in an interview with staytuned.la. With songs like Lou, Dynamite Fisherman and We’re So Far From Home, These Pilgrims have a wide-ranging sound that will add more diversity to the already eclectic schedule of artists at the Becker Amphitheater this fall. This will be the second concert at the Becker Amphitheater. Indie band Seaside Audio played in front of approximately 500 people Aug. 27 in the first concert. Indie band Naive Thieves are scheduled to play Sept. 24, followed by dream pop act Monogem on Nov. 5.

Fullerton School District spends $2.5 million on 6000 iPads to modernize learning

CESAR GAMBOA Daily Titan The Fullerton School District’s Visible Innovation Program provided iPads for more than 6,000 students in late August in an effort to modernize the classroom experience. The $2.5 million initiative gives iPads to fifth through eighth grade students in order to help integrate technology into their school curriculums. The program is expected to increase productivity in communications, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. This is a step in the right direction for the Fullerton School District. “With the iPad, student learning will become selfpaced through online Web 2.0 programs and networking tools,” said Robert Pletka, the Fullerton School District superintendent, in a letter issued to parents and families regarding the program. “Additionally, students will participate as “citizens of the world” with the ability to communicate, innovate, create and collaborate within and beyond the borders of their community to build broad-based knowledge and understandings of world cultures.” There is certainly a

stigma to overcome when debating the idea of tablets in classrooms. It’s easy to argue against putting another screen in front of student faces considering how much time kids already spend on handheld devices. Tablets are known as a source of distraction for

youth, and some parents may not want their children to spend so much time on an iPad. Fortunately, these students will have tablets equipped with software that prohibits them from visiting any off-limits websites, ensuring students are not distracted while learning.

Like past technological advancements, such as the television and personal computer, the iPad has the possibility to be turned into a critical teaching tool. These inventions eventually made their way into every school in America with great effect, improving learning environments for

students and teachers alike through engagement and interaction. Fullerton School District are not the only ones to attempt integrating tablets into the classroom. In the fall, St. Paul School District in Minnesota will equip 40,000 of their students with iPads,

making it the largest initiative of its kind in any state school system. The district’s plan is to integrate iPads in classrooms in an effort to introduce new technology as a teaching tool and to continue to pave the way for a more modern education system. “From my experience in internships and working in classrooms as a teacher’s aid, I’ve seen kids as young as second grade using iPads to take exams,” said Aubrey Porras, a fifth year child and adolescent development student at CSUF. “From what I’ve seen, it’s more helpful for the teacher because they can work collaboratively with the children.” School teachers are constantly looking for new ways to engage students, as the classroom experience continues to evolve. The Visible Innovation Program is expected to transform the classrooms into a multi-dimensional learning experience that will pave a new age for education. Technology has always been leading the way for improving teaching methods and these new iPads will continue this trend for the Fullerton School District. Schools have the obligation to integrate new technology into their classrooms, and the rising popularity of the tablet is the next step in defining a new era of learning for students.

Fast food workers deserve a living wage There needs to be an increase in the minimum wage to support food service workers

DARRELL KING Daily Titan For the past few years, fast food workers across the nation have vehemently made their case to hike the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour. Rallies, strikes and protests from disgruntled employees have negatively affected chains and have exposed the nation to the serious minimum wage dilemma in this country. Last Thursday, in 150 cities across America, fast food employees walked off their jobs, sending a message to management that they’re tired of working long hours for little pay. There has been much debate

times more than the salaries of their workers. In 2012 the average salary for fast-food CEO’s was $26.7 million, according to Businessweek. Meanwhile, the median yearly salary for food service prep workers or service workers is currently $18,500, approximately $4,500 below the poverty threshold, according to CNN. This is economic inequality at the highest level. The enormous discrepancies between wages show the complete absence of profit-sharing in these corporations, but America is a capitalist society and, sadly, capitalism’s natural state tends to favor exploitation. This is a fight that hasn’t just caught the attention

During Labor Day weekend, Obama further expressed his support of an increase in pay, stating, “There is no denying the simple truth: America deserves a raise.” The salaries for CEO’s of fast-food companies can be hundreds of

of the public, but of politicians as well. Protesters have been arrested in Chicago, Kansas, New York, Detroit and other cities for disorderly conduct and civil disobedience. Rep. Gwen Moore, a Wisconsin Democrat, even received a $691 ticket for disorderly conduct while protesting. While these protests are reminiscent of the Occupy Wall Street campaign, it appears that these workers and

protesters have laid out a clear and organized plan. Last March, McDonald’s employees filed wage theft lawsuits against McDonald’s franchises in California, New York and Michigan, claiming that the company didn’t pay them overtime and forced them to work off the clock. Of course, McDonald’s has denied these claims and are adamant in saying they don’t control how wages are set by its franchises, an assertion that is hard to believe. McDonald’s is a billion-dollar corporation, paying workers more isn’t going to send them flying into bankruptcy. California’s minimum wage, which is currently at $9 an hour and is scheduled to go up to $10.00 an hour in 2016, is higher than the $7.25 Federal minimum wage. For families who are struggling both in California and across the nation, $10 or $7.25 just isn’t enough. Latoya Caldwell, an employee for Wendy’s, is one of those people. Caldwell is a mother of four who is trying to raise her children while only making $7.50 an hour. “Nobody should work 40 hours a week and find themselves homeless, without enough money to buy COURTESY OF ROGER BLACKWELL them and their kids food, Protests have been held across the nation in protest of the low wages food service workers are needing public assistance,” Caldwell said, in an inter- paid by large chain restaurants, such as McDonald’s. view with NBC News.

HOROSCOPES

CROSSWORD

PROVIDED BY: celebrity.yahoo.com/horoscope

ARIES

(MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You need to extend yourself today -- so reach out to someone new who could use your help at work, or maybe ask that estranged friend what you can do to start making things right.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Your social energy is too powerful to be denied today -- so hang out with people even if you think you want down time. You should have plenty of time (and the right kind of energy) for meditation

GEMINI

(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

It’s time for you to get some real clarity -- and to give it in return! Your energy may not be quite right for precise calculations or highly detailed work, but you can come to a new emotional understanding

CANCER

(JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

You need to look more closely at your life’s biggest mystery -- and your mental energy helps you get the clarity you need to resolve it. It may be a breakthrough or a small, incremental change.

LEO

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Things aren’t as rosy as you had hoped -- but that’s not to say that all is lost! Your energy is right for making small advances, as long as you’re letting go of all assumptions before moving forward.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Try not to worry when things move too slowly today -- it’s just part of the way the universe is working. Pushing just makes things worse, so try hard to just deal with the situation as it is.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Today’s energy helps you bridge the gap between what you want and what you’ve got. The boundaries between realities are a little looser, so you may be able to shift things to your advantage.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You lose something kind of important early today -- and the harder you look for it, the more elusive it becomes. Let go and you’re sure to get it (or a replacement) back soon enough.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

It’s a great time to meet new people and socialize -- things are definitely going your way, and you should find that people are much more likely to connect you with their own networks.

AQUARIUS

(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

You have to rethink at least one important issue today -- even if it feels fully settled. You can tell that things aren’t quite right, and your mental energy is best spent in review.

PISCES

This is a good time to listen carefully and evaluate all opinions with equal weight. That could be tough -- especially if one person on your team is prone to mistakes -- but the effort is worthwhile.

LIBRA

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

You need to try something totally new today -- even if it feels off-balanced or maybe not quite right. That discomfort is actually a good sign that things are likely to align correctly in the end.

Cal State Fullerton will face three tough opponents in the College of Charleston Classic, hoping to improve their 4-3 record against top competition from around the country. This will be the first trip out of the state for the Titans so far in 2014, and they are just 2-2 away from Titan Gym this year. With the Big West schedule ahead, Fullerton will need to learn to win on the road as soon as possible.

Titans headed to South Carolina CSUF hopes to end struggles away from home

KATHERINE PICAZO Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball will head to the College of Charleston Classic in South Carolina this weekend after being defeated three sets to one by the San Diego State Aztecs, dropping their overall record to 4-3 on the season. The Aztecs took home the win after dropping the first set 21-25 to the Titans before taking command and winning the final three sets 25-21, 25-23 and 25-19. Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman will lead the

squad into a three-match tournament against some challenging teams in the Charleston Classic. The Titans will open the tournament by facing the Stetson Hatters in their first match on Friday. The Hatters have an overall record of 5-1 with their only loss coming to the Florida Atlantic Owls. The Hatters have recorded 285 kills compared to an impressive 336 kills from the Titans. Freshman Niki Withers leads Fullerton with 100 kills and junior Holland Crenshaw has 73 kills so far. Sophomore libero

McKenna Painton leads the team with 113 digs out of the 377 the Titans have overall. She is second in the Big West in digs behind freshman libero Arden Davis of UC Irvine and leads the conference in digs per set with 4.52. The Hatters’ strongest attacker is Madison Akins, who has 70 kills. Her teammate McKenna Foster is close behind with 68 kills. Juniors Alexa Drost and Kayla Weller contributed 73 and 51 digs out of Stetson’s overall total of 309. The Titans will square off in their second match

against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, who have a solid record of 6-1. The Demon Deacons swept their last match after handily defeating Wofford 25-22, 25-14 and 25-18. Wake Forest junior Matalee Reed is their most well-rounded player with 69 kills, 17 digs and a total of 31 blocks. Reed has the highest hitting percentage on the team, with a .451 mark. Wake Forest has racked up 67 total blocks, a slight advantage over the Titans who sit at just 55 blocks through seven matches. The Demon Deacons’ top attacker is senior

outside hitter Jazmen Russell, who has recorded 92 kills and a .227 hitting percentage. Caroline Wolf is the team’s dominant defensive presence with 118 digs. The last match for the Titans will be against the College of Charleston Cougars, who sit with an overall record of 3-4. The Cougars were swept in their most recent match against Georgia with a close call in the first two sets 2523, 25-21 before struggling in the last set 25-14. The Cougars’ top attacker, Melissa Morell, ended with 10 kills and top defender Andi Zbojniewicz

had 14 digs. The Cougars finished with a season low of two blocks compared to the nine blocks from their opponent. Morello is one of the major contributors to the team with 98 kills and 3.27 kills per set. Zbojniewicz has an impressive 128 digs and 4.27 digs per set. The Titans will start the first match at the College of Charleston Classic on Friday. Their final two games will be played on Saturday at 8 a.m. against Wake Forest and at 4 p.m. against the College of Charleston.

Men’s golf struggles in 2014 opener After winning last year’s Big West crown, the Titans had trouble in first 2014 action

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team opened up their 2014-2015 campaign by finishing eighth in the renowned Southwestern Intercollegiate held in Westlake Village. While an eighth place finish out of 12 teams might not seem impressive for the No. 66 ranked Titans, the fact that they were able to perform well against top competition is a positive sign for Head Coach Jason Drotter and his squad.

The defending Big West Conference champions started their season off rocky on Monday, as they finished 10th out of 12 teams to open the two-day tournament. The Titans shot 596 to finish 28-over-par, putting them 10 shots out of the top-five team rankings right from the start. While day two was certainly an improvement for Fullerton, their 13-over-par performance on Tuesday was only good enough to raise Fullerton two spots to finish eighth overall. The early deficit proved too difficult for the Titans to overcome. Stanford ran away from the field in the tournament,

recording a final round eight-under-par and finish with a score of four-under, 848 overall. The Cardinal entered play ranked No. 3 nationally, and were a heavy favorite to win the tournament from the start. Stanford’s Maverick McNealy rode a six-under-par 65 third round to earn the individual title at 10-under-par 203. The next closest competition was USC, who shot one-under-par to surpass the Washington State Cougars on the final day of play. The No. 33 ranked Trojans made up a twoshot deficit with ease on Tuesday to earn second place, as their Pac-12 rival

Cougars shot 11-over-par to fall into third. CSUF struggled to keep up with the more experienced Pac-12 teams, but had some performers stand out with their strong finishes. Fullerton’s star performer was senior Ryan Tetrault, who shot a third round 68 three-under-par to move up 17 slots to end the tournament in a tie for ninth place. The Villa Park native recorded the only under par score for the Titans in this tournament, capturing the 13th top-10 finish of his career. Fellow senior Josh Park finished with a final score of 220, seven-over-par

after a strong third round on Tuesday. Park finished the tournament in 18th place after climbing up two positions with his team-high 10 birdies in the tournament. Santiago Canyon College transfer Nico Mendoza and freshman Mark Cobey made their Titan debuts in the tournament, both finishing in the top 60 of the field. CSUF will be back in action on Sept. 15-16 when they head to the Saint Mary’s Invitational at the Bayonet and Black Horse Courses in Seaside. The absence of Mark Anguiano was certainly noticeable as the Titans fell in an early hole on Monday

that they could not work out of on the second day. If Fullerton is able to play similar to how they performed on Tuesday, then another Big West Conference title will be within their reach. However, if Monday’s problems consist for CSUF, it could be difficult for Drotter’s team to live up to the high standards they have become accustomed to in recent years. There is still plenty of room for improvement and a long season awaits the largely untested Titans, but with the recent success the program has had, CSUF cannot be counted out for a potential conference championship.
