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.

“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
