Out of the textbook, onto the ballot Student puts coursework into action, gets medical marijuana measure put to vote RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan A ban on medical marijuana collectives and cooperatives in Santa Ana may soon go up in smoke, due to a measure put on the ballot by a Cal State Fullerton student. Kandice Hawes, a political science and public administration student, put what she learned in the classroom into motion to get an act on the November ballot. Measure CC, which will be on the November ballot in Santa Ana, would replace the current ban on medical marijuana collectives and cooperatives. Marijuana is classified as a schedule one drug, grouped with other illicit drugs that are highly addictive and is considered a zero tolerance substance on campus. Hawes was convicted of a misdemeanor for possession of marijuana, which disqualified her from receiving financial aid. She had to stop going to school and get a part time job while going to community college. Now, Hawes is back at CSUF. After her experience with existing marijuana laws, Hawes drafted the measure with her lawyer, collected 13,000 signatures and $75,000 in campaign donations. SEE MEASURE

CSUF professor stars in Santa Ana-based drama with elemants of audience interaction

BRYAN CIFUENTES Daily Titan In a world full of media trends and declining culture, the play The Long Road Today/El Largo Camino de Hoy, embodies the concept of art itself. It is a play made for the people, by the people. The theatrical performance is based on the everyday lives of Santa Ana residents and gives an indepth preview of what life and culture is like in the predominantly Latino city. There will be a special preview Thursday night, and the play will run from Sept. 18-28. The play was put together

by Jose Cruz Gonzalez and is directed by Armando Molina, but the content is solely based off of true events that have occurred on the tough streets of Santa Ana for years. Cal State Fullerton’s very own adjunct Professor of Theatre, Amanda Arbues, is starring in the event. Arbues plays a hipster living in the same community that causes trouble and heartbreak for the two families that the the play revolves around. “The play is about a diverse city, a changing city, and a dynamic city full of culture and history. It is a play about people coming together and celebrating who they are and what they offer to the large-hearted city,” Arbues said. SEE LONG ROAD 5

The fall season at Grand Central Art Center will waste no time captivating the interest of theater goers. It promises tales of deceit and scandal, as well as a little bit of mystery. First, audiences will have a chance to see the political drama, Farragut North. The play follows the character Stephen Bellamy as he works on the U.S. Democratic Primary Campaign as the press secretary. Bellamy is an ambitious press secretary that will do anything to win the campaign. He is a young character who has already made a large name for himself in the political world with an ego to match. However, Bellamy is not immune to the betrayals of politics. The audience will witness his downfall first hand, as well as receive an inside look at the unforgiving world of U.S. political campaigning. The play is directed by Professor Christopher Shaw. It is Shaw’s first year teaching at Cal State Fullerton, and he believes the audience will be surprised by the events that unfold during the play. Everyone who watches the play will enjoy it whether they follow politics or not, according to Shaw. “I think that they can expect sort of an engaging and contemporary drama,” Shaw

said. “Even if you’re not into politics, you’re going to follow the story, and find it fun and interesting.” Acting student Kenney Selvey will portray the sly Stephen Bellamy in the play. This will be the 21-yearold’s fourth play for Cal State Fullerton, and his second play at Grand Central Art Center. He was drawn to the part because of the plot and because of Bellamy’s character.

“He’s very charming, and his dialogue is funny and witty. And he’s quick, he’s smart and everyone loves him,” Selvy said. “I love his arch of the entire play, it’s awesome. It’s ridiculous from the start to the end he’s just a changed person, so I really enjoy that arch.” The second show of the season is a mystery, in the sense that it has not yet been announced. However, the show will be directed by Svetlana Efremova, and will

feature students in the grad program. The Grand Central Art Center is located in Santa Ana at 125 North Broadway. All the shows will be in the Grand Central Theatre. Tickets for the shows are $5 each and can be bought at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office. Farragut North will begin at 8 p.m. on Oct. 17-18, 2325, 29-31 and Nov. 1. The second show will begin at 8 p.m. Nov. 14-15, 2022 and Dec. 3-6. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Uncertainty for Christian club Faith requirement for club leaders violates California State University bylaw

HEATHER MYERS Daily Titan The Intervarsity Christian Fellowship is being withheld recognition from most California State University campuses due to their requirement of leaders to sign a “document of faith.” Official recognition from a university requires clubs to submit a form to the Student Organization Resource Center each year, following guidelines in CSU Executive Order 1068. “Because there is potentially some language in the paperwork submitted by InterVarsity, it’s possible they would not be recognized. So we’re not removing their recognition, it’s just that they would not be offered recognition. The language I am referring to would be the clause that would require their leaders to sign some sort of document of faith,” Director of Public Affairs for the CSU Office of the Chancellor Michael Uhlenkamp said. All organizations on campus must include a signed statement in their constitution stating that they are non-discriminative toward race, gender, sexual orientation, age and religion in their membership and leadership positions. CSUF has only enacted the non-discrimination

policy on the membership level, which means that if InterVarsity wants their leaders to sign a document of faith, they can do that without losing recognition. Campus staff member for InterVarsity at CSUF, Tim Lee, said the club could not agree more about opening up membership to everyone, but their leaders should actively practice Christianity.

“

We want to make sure that the students who are leaders in our club are Christians who would adhere to that faith and have those core values

“

FOR THE RECORD

TIM LEE CSUF Campus Staff Member for InterVarsity “For us to stick and have our core values of being Christians, we want to make sure that the students who are leaders in our club are Christians who would adhere to that faith and have those core values,” Lee said. InterVarsity at Cal State Fullerton currently has about 70 active members participating in their small and large groups during the week on campus. “Nationally, our vision is to see students and faculty transformed, campuses renewed and world changes

developed,” Lee said. Restrictions that come from not being a recognized organization on campus include the inability to rent classroom space, expensive fees to use Titan Student Union space for events and limited publicity. Despite their restrictions on campus, InterVarsity is thinking of creative ways to reach out to students, including selfie contests and backpack banners with their club logo. Carrie Chang, president of InterVarsity at CSUF, said that although CSUF has not adopted the derecognition, she hopes for quick resolve with this issue on the campuses affected. For now, InterVarsity club members and leaders are going to keep moving forward. “We are going to hope and pray that Cal State Fullerton keeps on with this,” Chang said. “Same for the other schools that have been derecognized, that they would be able to find a way around it to still reach their target audience, which is the entire school.” Ben Vail, campus staff member for InterVarsity, explains that their club is “very grateful for Cal State Fullerton’s position at this point because we are totally on the same page that anyone on this campus should be fully available to be a member of any club, including ours.”

Expo may add up to a job Accounting students will be able to network with possible future employers

FRANCISCO REYES Daily Titan Accounting students will have the opportunity to connect with professionals from some of the field’s largest firms at the Accounting Expo on Wednesday. The expo, which will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Titan Student Union Pavilion Rooms, is an opportunity for accounting students to network with potential employers, according to Treasurer of the Accounting Society Christopher Belling. “This is an event for our students, our members, to stand out and actually be able to get some face time in with these recruiters and professionals,” Belling said. The event will include a Q-and-A session with several potential employers, including Deloitte, Ernst & Young,

KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers, collectively known as the “Big Four” professional service firms, Belling said. “(Students) could read (about accounting) on the websites all they want, but there’s no better experience than getting it face-to-face from the actual professionals that have been there and done that.” Belling also offered advice to aspiring accountants on how they should approach the Accounting Expo. “What I tell (students) is to definitely come with a couple of good questions that you want to get answered,” he said. “But also, you want to make it a point to talk to as many professionals as possible. We know there’s only a certain amount of time and everyone’s competing for time to talk to professionals, but make it a point to talk to at least two professionals from the firm that you want to go to.”

Many students connect on a personal level with employers at the expo, and oftentimes it’s those interactions that factor into which firm they want to work with, Belling said. “It comes down to the culture and the people, it’s who you get along with the best,” Belling said. Aside from the expo, Belling noted the importance of joining the Accounting Society as a way to find a job after college. “The accounting world is very unique in the sense that we’re the only major that the recruiters and the firms actually cater to us. They come out on campus and they’ll talk to us way ahead of our graduation date,” Belling said. “So a lot of our students, if they join the club and they follow our plans, they will have a job lined up a year to two years ahead of time before they even graduate.” The Accounting Expo is free and open to all students and alumni.

A man accused of kidnapping and torture has been extradited to Orange County after being arrested in the Czech Republic, having initially fled to Iran. Authorities arrested 35-year-old Hossein Nayeri in November 2013 after he and three partners allegedly kidnapped the owner of a Santa Ana-based marijuana dispensary and his girlfriend on Oct. 2, 2012. Prosecutors report that three of the suspects broke into the owner’s home and beat him before tying him and his girlfriend up and then driving to the desert in search of buried money. The owner was allegedly burned with a blowtorch and had his penis cut off. His girlfriend was able to escape and alert police. Nayeri faces life in prison without parole. - RUDY CHINCHILLA

Silverado fire nearly contained Metal sheeting put up to keep rodents out of a backyard garden was the cause of the Silverado fire which burned nearly 1,000 acres, according to the Orange County Register. Fire crews had reached 87 percent containment by Monday night, but record-high temperatures and difficult terrain have made the process difficult. Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi was hopeful that by the end of the day the blaze would be fully contained. Mandatory evacuation orders were lifted Sunday evening, but Silverado Canyon Road remains closed to everyone but residents. About 1,000 firefighters, assisted by five helicopters, have been battling the fire. - CYNTHIA WASHICKO

These efforts come as part of the “major increase” in the U.S. response to the disease, which has now taken over 2,000 lives, according to CNN. In addition, they will be training health care workers every week to identify and handle patients with the virus. The U.S. Agency for International Development will be giving 400,000 treatment kits to the families of sick patients to protect them from the virus. - KATHERINE PICAZO

FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS OF THE SANTA ANA MEDICAL CANNABIS RESTRICTION AND LIMITATION ACT Provides revenue for education

Provides employment

Funds for public safety

Used for healing

$ Contributes $50-$100 million in sales tax

Prohibited within 600 ft of schools

Measure: Taking marijuana legislation to the voters CONTINUED FROM

“Me, this student that has never done this stuff before, is up against this political machine,” Hawes said. The initiative will allow a limited number of medical marijuana facilities, which will be determined by Santa Ana’s population and estimated number of patients. The collectives and cooperatives have to pay an additional two

percent tax in addition to the standard sales tax rate. Additionally, the facilities are only allowed in certain business zones and 600 feet away from schools. Hawes raised donations by telling collectives that there is not a future in illegal storefronts. “You don’t know if you’re going to be here a week, or if you’re going to be here a month. If you’re going to be legitimate, collective and proactive,

you need to be part of this (campaign),” Hawes said. “We need to change the law so you can operate legally and follow a set of guidelines and pay taxes, so there is some sort of order to the chaos.” The federal Drug Enforcement Administration has shut down all of the collectives and cooperatives in Santa Ana and is able to do so because cities have policing powers and can decide what can be

zoned or not. “The only thing they could do now is repeal the ban through a voter initiative,” Hawes said. “We wrote (the initiative) so it is fair to the community. Its going to be something that parents and conservatives can agree with.” Hawes is polling and analyzing the precincts to find where their no-party preference voters are, and where the swing voters are in the city, which is

something she learned in her classes. “It’s interesting because I took Matt Jarvis’s campaigns and elections class and a lot of stuff that we talked about in class are some of the tactics that I’m using in my own campaign.” The city of Santa Ana had also crafted an initiative on medical marijuana dispensaries, Measure BB. Hawes and her team tried to work with the city to

come up with an initiative that will benefit everyone’s interests, but because of politics, they lost their seat at the table. “It has been an ugly experience in politics,” Hawes said. The city’s version of the initiative says patients have to be 21 and over, and they want a 5-10 percent city tax on top of sales tax for enforcement. Collectives are only allowed in two small areas of the city.

Halloween run welcomes ghosts and ghouls to SRC Registration is open for the Costume Dash Fun Run, a 5-kilometer run on campus

TROI MCADORY Daily Titan Zombies may not run fast, but speed doesn’t matter if it’s for a good cause. This Halloween season, the Student Recreation Center (SRC) will host its first Costume Dash Fun Run on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. Registration is now open. The five-kilometer course will start at the SRC and meander throughout the majority of the campus to finish back at the starting line. The idea for the Costume Dash grew out of a previous Fun Run program called iCare, which had been used to promote health awareness to the student body. Like the iCare Fun Run, the Costume Dash is funded by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) , although many of the proceeds come from entry fees. Membership Services Coordinator Sardis Rodriguez hopes that the option for students to run in costume will draw people to the event. “We are excited about the new Halloween theme and hope this will motivate more people to come out and run,” Rodriguez said. The run will also feature a contest for best male, female and group costume, with SRC staff members judging the entries. “They will be judged based on creativity, originality and how well the costume was executed,” Rodriguez said.

The above map shows the path of the fun run through campus, starting and ending at the Student Recreation Center. Registration for the Oct. 18 run is now open.

Rodriguez will be dressing up with other SRC staff members, but she’s keeping the ensemble’s costume theme a secret. The SRC staff and ASI have been working together to help promote the event to off-campus participants. “The Fullerton community has been great in continuing to support this and other Titan Recreation programs,” Rodriguez said. “I’m amazed by how much the surrounding community looks forward to this event.”

MAKE THE MUSIC GO...

OC Observatory to host explosive music festival KATHERINE PICAZO Daily Titan

Music fans of all kinds will gather this weekend to attend one of the largest music festivals hosted by the Orange County Observatory. People of all ages will be singing, dancing and enjoying a variety of genres from rockabilly to American punk. Over 30 artists will be performing, including top five artists like X, Buzzcocks, Los Lobos, Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin. Los Angeles punk band, X, will be twisting up their performance by playing records that have never been heard live and playing acoustic versions of their popular songs. Band members John Doe, Billy Zoom, Exene Cervenka and DJ Bonebrake began their

music career in 1977. They were one of the most successful bands of the punk scene. Punk star and X band member, Cervenka, will be having her vintage clothing swap at the event. Earlier this year, Cervenka started selling many of her belongings such as guitars, books and artwork to make her move to Texas easier, according to Rolling Stone. Punk rock band Buzzcocks will also be performing that afternoon. Buzzcocks will bring their Sex Pistols-inspired energy and Nirvana-inspired melodies to the stage. Buzzcocks are among the top British punk bands with eight studio albums and over 20 singles and extended plays. Solo performer Dave Alvin

will be playing a mix of blues and rock records. Alvin will be joined by his brother Phil Alvin. Some audience members may recognize the brothers from a band known as The Blasters. Alvin and Phil recently released an album this past summer named Ground: Dave & Phil Alvin Play & Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy, according to AllMusic.com. Another popular band, Los Lobos, will be performing their original music inspired by the cultural melting pot here in America. Los Lobos have won their fans over with mixtures of sounds from country, mexican folk and R&B, according to AllMusic.com. The crowd will experience a multi-cultural movement with

this Latino-inspired rock band. Vinyl Junkies record swap will be there selling thousands of records from various vendors. They welcome anyone interested in selling their records. Interested parties can email Vinyl Junkies at vinyljunkiesswap@gmail.com. The three-stage festival will have performances outdoors at The Observatory grounds and indoors as well. VIP tickets will be available for $55, which includes a shaded seat and a limited edition festival T-shirt. Regular admission tickets will be $35 for all ages. On Saturday, Sept. 20, festival attendees will get to enjoy craft beer, gourmet food and great music. For more information on this event and ticket purchases, visit observatoryoc.com.

ASI plans day-long event for students Block Party, Orangefest, and Jurassic Park screening ALEX GROVES Daily Titan Associated Students, Inc. Productions is going to be holding three different events in one day in efforts to give students an experience that is both fun and accessible. The ASI Block Party will be taking place for most of the day at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday. Orangefest, the annual concert event, will follow as

well as a movie showing. “We collaborated with marketing for this event, so that way we could have just one massive event all in one day,” ASI Productions Concert Director Doris Munoz said. “Our whole goal for this event was for it to be very accessible for those who commute and for those who want to have the event smack dab all in one day,” she said. The ASI Block Party,

which will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be ‘90s themed and will feature music, food and prizes for students. Then, from 4-7 p.m. students can immerse themselves in a versatile musical experience that will consist of three bands. The headliner for Orangefest will be Smallpools, an indie-pop band that opened for Walk the Moon last year. “They’re a really great

band, they’re up and coming,” Munoz said of Smallpools. “I think that once their album drops, they’re going to blow up, like all their singles are going to be on 98.7 and KIIS FM and such. I have a huge hope for this band.” While Smallpools will be the headliner for the concert event, there will actually be two other bands that will open the show. One of them, Tapioca and the Flea, opened for Young

the Giant last year and is a psych-wave band. The last band, The Originalities, plays ska, dub and punk-rock sets. They play a lot of shows in the Huntington Beach area, which is where they’re from. After attending Orangefest, concertgoers can once again take a trip back to the ‘90s with the cult-hit Jurassic Park. The movie will be shown at the Becker Amphitheater

on a large, inflatable screen. Munoz said she’s excited about this year’s Orangefest and thinks people should definitely check out the talent that is slated for this year. “People should ... hop on it and see a free show of (these bands) now before they blow up,” Munoz said.

Exclusive gallery hosts ‘Poemas’ Series of paintings influenced by spanish heritage to be on display in free exhibit

BRITTANEY CARPENTER Daily Titan The Exclusive Collections Galleries at Laguna Beach is proud to host the master artist Royo and his Poemas exhibit which is open to the public on Sept. 19-20 from 6-9 p.m. Royo is an impressionist painter of Spanish descent who has become widely-known among high status individuals. He studied at the San Carlos Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia, Spain. One famous piece in particular is the portrait he completed of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain. The CEO and president of the Exclusive Collections Galleries, Ruth-Ann Thorn, has been a representative of Royo for 14 years and said they are one of the first Southern California galleries to represent the artist. This will be his first visit to the Laguna Beach location. Christine Nemeth, Exclusive Collections’ social media director, said how lucky they are to have Royo at their gallery. “The collection that he’ll have here are mostly original paintings, so they’ll be brand new to the gallery,” Nemeth said. “We’ll also have a couple limited edition pieces, one of his newest releases is called El Collar Rosa and that one is sort of a series he did for a book called Mujeres.” Thorn’s personal favorite Royo masterpiece is titled Sol, which came from his series based on the sun.

All 25 of his paintings on display will be for sale. Royo lives in Spain and uses Spanish influence in his paintings. The Poemas exhibit is brand new. Royo creates a new series of original paintings for each show so that every collection will be different. This free event provides a chance for attendees to meet the master painter as well as attend a complimentary champagne reception at the gallery. Tickets bought in advance are strongly encouraged. “We encourage people to RSVP as soon as possible,” Nemeth said. “Obviously, we welcome people as walkins but it’s always easier to know how to accommodate a certain number of people if they RSVP in advance.” They have already received about 200 RSVP’s for the exhibit. Thorn describes Royo as being “regal.” “When people meet him, people are brought to tears. He’s got this magnetism about him that you know you’re in the presence of someone who is important and a historical figure,” Thorn said. Nemeth said that what people receive from Royo is a true artist living in their time. “When you think of artists from the past like Monet or Picasso, imagine getting to meet one of those artists, and that’s what you get when you meet Royo,” Nemeth said. To RSVP for the show, contact the Exclusive Collections Galleries at 855372-8213 or by email at pr@ecgallery.com. The gallery is located at 417 South Coast Highway, Laguna Beach.

Long Road: Civic Center holds interactive play 1

The play itself focuses on two families on opposite sides of a life-changing accident. As Salvador is driving home, he becomes distracted as a little boy named Andres chases his ball into the middle of the street. Salvador hits Andres, and the boy dies. The two families come together to raise money for

funeral costs by selling tamales and pupusas door-todoor, as is common in the streets of Santa Ana. This curtain-raiser, ironically, will not have a curtain to raise because the organizers have elected to have the whole event take place outside of the Civic Center square behind the government buildings in the heart of Santa Ana. “The play is in the Civic Center because it is a play

CSUs face admission crisis

A proposal to help reduce the influx of new students to CSUs guarantees someone will lose

AL DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan A new proposal to help reduce the influx of incoming students to CSUs guarantees someone will lose The Cal State trustees raised a scenario last Tuesday that portrayed a transfer-only admission system for Cal State Universities, according to the Los Angeles Times. This sounds like a ludicrous idea and is by no means a matter of choice. This is not a matter of good or bad, the fate of all future CSU students would fall into a numbers game. Gov. Jerry Brown’s 201415 state budget includes a $142.2 million increase to CSU’s general fund, which is part of his multi-year fund-

to be a loser. It would make the most sense to let the future freshmen of the CSU system take that hit. After a record 761,000 applications for the CSU fall 2014 term, there is a prediction of a higher demand in the coming years. Many of the new applicants will be transfer students. Community colleges are also expected to see a surge in student numbers, due in part by the increased state funding. The 2013-14 school year saw 56,565 community college transfers. California Community College (CCC) students who earn an associate degree for transfer are guaranteed priority admission consideration into a CSU campus, and rightfully so. Still, only around 1,400 of the transfer students fit that description. With the predicted up-

As in any game, there has to be a loser. It would make the most sense to let the future freshmen of the CSU system take that hit.

“

ing plan. Brown’s plan will give an additional $119.5 million to the UC and CSU systems in 2015-16. These budget increases are being put into effect after years of budget cuts, which occurred in conjunction with increasing applications. Despite the governor’s attempt to feed more money into higher education, CSU representatives said this is still not enough to operate at the level it is aiming for. As in any game, there has

coming demand from CCC transfers and an insufficient budget, there is a real fear that future incoming freshmen will be out of luck. Board of Trustees Chair Lou Monville expressed a concern in an LA times interview that the CSU’s insufficient state funding could dramatically alter the master plan for higher education, which currently calls to take the top third of the graduating high school class.

COURTESY OF CSUF

The current California budget is not enough to handle the level of incoming students in the CSU system.

It would be extremely irresponsible to ignore the fact that the budget cannot support the predicted number of admissions. There is no way the 23 CSU campuses can ignore the budget and expect the university system to function properly and efficiently.

Cutting freshmen from future admissions is by no means a fair idea. Freshmen who earned their spot on a CSU campus would be forced to go elsewhere. Apply the theory to the 201314 school year and that is nearly 91,000 students. A sacrifice will need

to be made somewhere to make ends meet, and making freshmen wait a few years might be the lesser of two evils. Transfer students are just as deserving of their pursuit of a quality education, and should hold some form of seniority over a student

who has little to no college experience. Let’s not forget that many of those transfer students were initially denied entry to the CSU system. The CSU’s are faced with a double-edged sword, and either way someone will be left out.

College book lists promote diversity of ideas Young Americans for Freedom state that college book lists promote liberal perspective

JAMIE CORPUZ Daily Titan The latest rhetoric being touted by the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) reeks with hyperbole. A new study conducted by the Young America’s Foundation, the conservative organization responsible for the oversight of YAF, proves that U.S. universities are trying to indoctrinate students, says Ashley Pratte of the Young America’s Foundation. “These freshman required reading programs are delving into concepts that truly present liberal themes. And there’s not one that we found on there that promoted free market principles or capitalism, which are things that maybe students should be learning, or even American history,” Pratte said. These alarmist claims about indoctrination are very likely exaggerated and misuse information. While it’s not a guarantee that all university students actually read all the books assigned to them, the Cal State University system does require all undergraduate students to be knowledgeable when it comes to American history, the Constitution and state

Colleges say that their freshmen book lists are intended to provoke debate, not promote liberal agendas.

and local governments. These requirements are known as the American Institutions Requirement, which can be found in every Cal State Fullerton student’s Titan Degree Audit, General Education Program section D. The study done by The

Foundation reviewed Forbes’ America’s Top Colleges List and then examined those colleges’ freshman required reading programs for the past three years. Unfortunately, with the exception of YAF’s New Guard Blog entry, where the claim originated

no other information regarding this research could be found, making it difficult to give the claim proper consideration. Since the study remains unpublished, claims of no conservative authors or a single book with conservative themes were unable

to be fact checked. It is also impossible to know how the foundation defined conservative, what metrics they used for theme analysis and which freshman reading programs they were referring to. The Foundation included a short selection of the

books that concerned them in their blog post. Books on the list included literature related to humanities and cultural studies, but this is an assumption because they did not publish their findings. The limited selection shared by YAF and the foundation does not prove that conservative themes were absent from all required reading at these universities. It is hard to believe that students aren’t learning about capitalism and free market principles in their political science and economy classes. If there is any truth to this claim, the study is still very limited because it only looks at freshman required readings and not three more years worth of required reading assignments. It also only looked at 50 four-year institutions when there are nearly 3,000 in the U.S. The claim that universities are seeking to indoctrinate students with their liberal agendas seems to be a dubious one at best. Universities are not paid to instill values, but tasked with exposing students to a variety of ideas and teaching them to think and write critically. These teaching include diverse and contemporary readings.

HOROSCOPES

CROSSWORD

PROVIDED BY: celebrity.yahoo.com/horoscope

ARIES

(MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

Try to make sure that you’re looking at the big picture rather than the tiny details -- it’s just way too easy to get lost or distracted by that stuff.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Your emotional intelligence is peaking today, which makes it a really good time to ask probing questions and maybe to reveal your innermost feelings to the right person. Things may move quickly.

GEMINI

(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

You’ve got a little too much going on right now -- but you love it! Things may seem a little daunting at first, but once you get started, your social momentum just sweeps you through the day.

CANCER

(JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Something that seems small to outsiders sends you absolutely over the edge this morning. That’s not necessarily a bad thing -- sometimes you have to assert yourself through screaming and yelling!

LEO

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

You are definitely impressed by someone who usually isn’t all that. Somehow, you need to express your feelings without making anyone feel like the game has changed completely. Things are looking up!

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

Your brain is definitely firing on all cylinders today -- so much so that you might start to scare people! Your snap judgments are as valuable as detailed reasonings that take months to reach.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

You bring a fresh perspective to the table -- in fact you bring two of them! It’s a good time for you to show others that things just aren’t as simple as they were hoping they’d be.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

You should find it easier than usual to get sucked into bad ideas or weird plans. That said, you have the final say in what you do, so try to keep a skeptical mind ready to shoot down the worst of it.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You’d like to get busy with some new activity or program, but someone close seems to need to talk it over more than actually get started. You can make some progress on your own while they dither.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

This is the best possible time to clear out your old thoughts and ideas -you need fresh thinking more than anything else! A new person pops up with an idea that you would have dismissed last week.

AQUARIUS

(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

Romance is still in the air -- your great energy helps you show the world your best side, and quite a few new people get interested as a result. Things start to really heat up tonight.

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

A burst of creative energy helps you to move past whatever has been plaguing you lately. It could be a romantic problem, a lack of work or something more existential, but you can get past it.

WINNIE HUANG / DAILY TITAN

The CSUF women’s volleyball squad has struggled in the early part of their 2014 season. The Fullerton Classic presents an opportunity for the Titans to regroup in front of their home crowd and get some hard-fought wins before Big West Conference play begins. While several tough opponents will be in town, the Titans have history on their side after winning the 2013 Fullerton Classic handily.

Fullerton Classic at CSUF The Titans will look to win their second consecutive Fullerton Classic this weekend

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team will play three matches in the Fullerton Classic this weekend at Titan Gym. Friday will be the team’s first game at Titan Gym since Aug. 30 when they played against Sacred Heart and Texas Tech. The Titans open the weekend against the Yale Bulldogs. Yale enters play with a 2-4 record, but won their only road game this season. The Bulldogs are led by senior outside hitter Mollie Rogers. The San Diego native has been named All-Ivy League

First Team all three years of her collegiate career. She is having an excellent 2014 campaign so far, posting 60 kills and 63 digs. Rogers ranks fourth in the Ivy League in kills per set with 3.16. She is on pace to make the All-Ivy League First Team again this year. Another key player for Yale is freshman Kelsey Crawford. She has a team-high 180 assists this year, which is 159 more than any of her teammates. Crawford is third in the Ivy League in assists per set with 9.47. She also is the team’s co-leader in service aces with five. The Titans open Saturday against the Georgetown Hoyas. Junior outside hitter Lauren

Saar leads the Hoyas with 3.33 kills per set. However, her .182 hitting percentage is near the bottom of her team. Georgetown is an impressive 6-2 away from their home court this season. Senior middle blocker Dani White is one of the leaders on the Hoyas. The Mission Viejo High School alumna was elected Preseason All-Big East and is third in the conference in blocks per set with 1.27. Senior libero MacKenzie Simpson leads the Big East in digs per set with five. She has 53 more digs than any of her teammates. The UCLA Bruins will play the Titans in the final game of the weekend. The Bruins enter the weekend 6-2 on the season. Senior outside hitter Karsta Lowe is the Bruins’ star

player. Her 6.42 kills per set leads the competitive Pac-12 Conference. Setter Julie Consani played three years at CSUF who now leads UCLA and the Pac-12 in assists per set with 11.84. She ranks sixth in Titan history in assists and was 32nd in the nation in 2013 in assists per set. Junior Mackenzie Olsen is the Titans setter who has picked up the assists Consani used to get. Her 354 assists are third in the Big West Conference. The Golden West College transfer has set the table for the Titan offense this season. CSUF ranks third in the Big West in assists with 441. However, the Titans have played the second most sets in the conference, so their assists numbers are skewed. The Titan freshmen have

made an impact early this season. Three of the top five kills leaders are freshmen. Niki Withers leads the Titans in that category, and is third in the Big West in kills per set with 3.73. Stephanie Buss and Katelyn Nielson are the other freshmen atop the kills leaderboard. Sophomore libero McKenna Painton leads the team in digs by a wide margin. Her 4.59 digs per set are fifth in the Big West. Outside hitter Paige Reed is second on the team in digs and has posted double-digit digs twice this season. The Titans are 5-5 on the season and sit at sixth in the Big West standings. The Fullerton Classic is their last event before opening conference play against Cal State Northridge next week.

Titans struggle in Colorado CSUF fails to build off their strong opening weekend with a rough showing in Seaside

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan After two days of play, the Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team finished in 15th place at the Saint Mary’s Invitational at the Bayonet Golf Club in Seaside. CSUF tallied a final score of 915 (51-over-par) after scoring a 12-overpar 300 in their final round on Tuesday to finish four strokes ahead of last place UC Riverside. The University of San

Diego left Seaside as victors after scoring an evenpar 864 over the two-day tournament. The Toreros were the only team to finish evenpar or better, although they edged out the host Saint Mary’s Gaels by just one stroke. San Diego’s Mathias Dahl dominated the competition, finishing with the best individual performance after shooting a seven-under-par 209 overall. Fullerton sophomore Kyle De Silva paced the Titans throughout the tournament, carding a total score of seven-over-par 223, good for a tie for 30th place.

Senior Ryan Tetrault finished the tournament tied for 51st place with a 12-over-par 228. The Villa Park native struggled to get going on both days, failing to play up to the top-10 potential he had shown a week before at the Southwestern Intercollegiate. The Titans entered the tournament as the second highest ranked team in play (No. 66), but struggled to find consistency on the green. This disappointing result comes just a week after CSUF closed out the Southwestern Intercollegiate on a strong note, vaulting up

to eighth place on the final day in the prestigious tournament. Despite the subpar performance, the 2013 Big West Conference champions had to be happy with the performance of some of their newcomers. While juniors Nico Mendoza and Marcus Mercado finished in a tie for 89th place, they both had strong final rounds to end the tournament on a positive note. The Titans will play next on Sept. 29-30 when they travel to Colorado to take part in the Mark Simpson Invitational held in Erie, Colorado at the Colorado National Golf Club.

Women’s golf opens poorly

Titan women’s golf team starts slow against top competition from around the country

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan Sophomore Martina Edberg recorded the third top-five finish of her career as Cal State Fullerton finished the final round of the Minnesota Invitational in 13th place. Edberg finished the tournament with a four-overpar 220, putting her in a tie for third place overall. After a three-birdie performance on Tuesday, she finished the tournament

with nine birdies, tied for the second most of the two-day event. East Carolina University’s Frida Gustafsson easily ran away from the competition after shooting a nine-under-par 207, eight shots better than the runner up. The Pirates also finished first in the team portion of the tournament, posting a 15-over-par 879, which was 21 strokes better than second-place University of Colorado. Kansas, GRU Augusta and the University of Texas rounded out the top five teams in the two-day

tournament. The Titans collectively shot a 26-over-par 314 on Tuesday, and finished with a 67-over-par 931 overall in the tournament. They finished 11 strokes outside of a top-10 slot, finishing 13th out of the 14 teams in play. Freshman Brittany Farrell made quite an impression in her Titan debut, finishing tied for 47th place with a 19-over-par 235. She saved her best game for the final round, where Farrell shot a 10-over-par 82. Tisha Alyn Abrea finished two shots behind

her freshman counterpart, tying for 50th place with a 21-over-par 237 in the tournament. The senior from Murrieta recorded six birdies overall after two in her final round. Fellow senior Makayla Mier finished tied for 62nd in the tournament with her 240 score overall, while junior Nadine Rivera finished the tournament with a score of 252, good for 73rd place. The Titans get a week off before heading to the Rose City Challenge at Langdon Farms Golf Club in Portland, Oregon on Sept. 28.
