Group protests library closures Students for Quality Education pressures administration to reopen closed library floors

CESAR GAMBOA Daily Titan The CSU Students for Quality Education (SQE) protested Wednesday to criticize Cal State Fullerton’s decision to not reopen the four floors of the south side of Pollak Library until 2017. The organization gathered in front of the library in hopes of pressuring school officials to take action toward reinstating a fully accessible library for students. “The worst part about that is that you can’t go up to the books physically, and look at them, and see what other books correlate with that subject,” said Sean Washburn, a member of the SQE and graduate student at CSUF. “As concerned students, we just want that access back to the library and we want that for all students, not just us.” Pollak Library sustained about $6 million in damages due to the earthquake in late March. That damage forced the campus to make unexpected changes to how the library operates. “We have a book paging system, and that just takes a few hours, depending on amount of traffic to get those books,” said Interim University Librarian Scott Hewitt. “We are also planning on moving the books from the south side to the basement of PLN and to the second, third and fourth floor of PLN. We can’t move all of the books, but we can move most of the books. We’ll try to move the ones that are used most often.” About 24 percent of the books in the Pollak Library have never been checked out, Hewitt said. The library has begun thinning out the collection, and getting rid of unused texts as part of a forthcoming renovation to provide more space to students.

SQE fears moving books to the basement will change the way the library functions for students, said Carie Rael, a member of SQE and history graduate student at CSUF. “The earthquake shouldn’t be used as a catalyst to put in this new way of conducting business,” Rael said. “We think a library is a sacred institution on a university’s campus, and we have it as one of our highest priorities.” SQE is also scrutinizing Associated Students, Inc. for the planned $20 million renovation to the Titan Student Union. “It’s kind of infuriating that $20 million of money that is paid by students with our ASI fee is being used to expand a building which is in perfectly good condition,” Rael said. “It’s pretty much a slap in the face that ASI is not at least considering or putting some actions in place to allocate some of that $20 million from the TSU to the library where it’s actually much needed.” However, ASI President Harpreet Bath said this is beyond what ASI is capable of doing. ASI does not receive any funding from the state or university, and CSUF is prohibited from accepting any funds from ASI, Bath said. “Since ASI acts as an auxiliary on campus, we cannot use the fees that we collect from students that come into ASI. That is our budget for any improvements of campus buildings, classroom experiences, anything that needs to be and should be funded by the state,” Bath said. “That includes the library.” The library will be moving more seating to the open areas of the library before finals. Part of the Student Success Fee will be going toward expanding library hours, allowing the library to stay open until midnight on Mondays through Thursdays, and until 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The library will be open 24 hours during finals.

Business student named CSU Trustee Scholar

CSUF student recognized for academic performance and community service

ROSELYNNE REYES Daily Titan Michael Chacon has big goals set out for himself. Chacon is one of the 23 recipients of the CSU Trustees’ Award for Outstanding Achievement for demonstrating superior academic performance, community service and financial need. As a student from the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics and recipient of this scholarship, he is well on his way toward achieving these goals. Chacon wants to work for the FBI one day, a hefty objective for anyone to achieve. “I got intrigued by the FBI and fighting crime, fraud specifically so I was looking at business schools,” Chacon said. He decided on Cal State Fullerton and decided this would be the place for him. Chacon is pursuing a business administration degree with a joint emphasis in accounting and finance. The scholarship recipient hopes to use these skills

in the FBI one day, a goal he decided on after seeing so many people affected by the 2009 financial crisis.

Chacon was homeschooled until the ninth grade, when he began attending the Los Angeles

County High School for the Arts. He was very much involved in the theatre program, but decided to focus

on business after the recession hit. He wants to fight white-collar crime and end

corruption in the corporate world. “They often call it a victimless crime when it’s not really because there are tons of victims and it often has an even more profound impact on more people,” Chacon said. To gain experience, Chacon also enrolled in the California Air National Guard, which required taking time off of school for six months of basic training. When he returned to CSUF, he re-enrolled in the business honors program and became involved on campus. He joined the Accounting Society, where he now serves as secretary for the Association for Certified Fraud Examiners. This group within the club organizes speakers who talk about fraud and white-collar crime. “When I was a freshman, I joined that group and it was really cool because we had people from the FBI come in and the IRS and so now that I’m part of that group, I’m able to get other students fired up about this,” Chacon said.

New scholarship for middle class students Funds will aid students from families who make up to $150,000, yet still need help

RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan In the past, students from families considered to be part of the middle class fell through the financial aid cracks, thought of by the state as able to pay for tuition and books without breaking the bank. As tuition and fees increase, even middle-class students and their families cringe at rising costs. Now, there will be some relief to offset costs for those students. The Middle Class Scholarship (MCS), introduced this year, will provide undergraduates with family incomes up to $150,000

a scholarship to attend a school in the University of California or California State University system. If students filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), they will be notified by email and the awards should be distributed by mid to end of October, according to the Cal State Fullerton Office of Financial Aid. Students of families that earn up to $100,000 per year and not more, may be eligible for a scholarship of up to 40 percent of tuition and fees. It will be phased in over four years, starting this year with 14 percent of tuition. In 2015, it rises to 20 percent, to 30 percent in 2016 and will be fully phased in at 40 percent of tuition in 2017.

Students whose families earn between $100,001 and $150,000 per year are only eligible for 10 percent of tuition and fees. The award amount for each student receiving MCS funds is determined after other grants, like the Pell or Cal Grants, are factored into their financial profile. The number of students eligible for the MCS and the statewide budget determine the final amount available for disbursement. The MCS will be divided and rationed out by the number of students eligible and money in the MCS pot allocated by the state budget. The award money isn’t a set amount and will be varied by student and institution.

The multi-million dollar grant comes from the Departent of eduaction to encourage achievement among Hispanic graduate students.

New grant to fund grad student programs The $2.8 million will be dedicated to supporting services for Hispanic graduate students

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan The Office of Graduate Studies at Cal State Fullerton is seeking to improve learning opportunities and services for post-baccalaureate Hispanic students with funds from a $2.8 million grant from the United States Department of Education. The five-year Promoting Post-baccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans grant is meant to foster learning and achievement for Hispanic graduate students on campus. It will require university officials to implement systems that will better serve students who are in some form of graduate study. Those systems will serve credential, master’s or doctorate program students, said Katherine Powers, Ph.D., director of graduate studies for the university. Since more than one-quarter of the student population identifies as Hispanic–CSUF is classified as a Hispanic-serving institution. About 35 percent of the CSUF students identify as Hispanic.

The primary goal of the grant is to help foster greater learning opportunities for Hispanic students, but many of the services provided will be accessible to all students, Powers said. The grant will allow for the creation of a graduate student success center and an online peer-mentoring community. The grant plan also seeks to implement a smoother advising system for graduate students on campus. Traditionally, undergraduate students have had better advising experiences as compared with post-baccalaureate students due to the different needs of the two education levels, Powers said. “Some grad advising is great, but there isn’t a ... strong infrastructure for graduate advising on campus,” Powers said. “It’s not fueled well in every corner, so this grant will help support that.” Powers said that while advising is mandatory for certain groups of undergraduate students, that’s not necessarily the case for master’s students. It may be difficult for students pursuing their post-baccalaureate degree to even find someone to talk to, she said.

Anaheim City Council voted Tuesday to post the name of anyone convicted of soliciting a prostitute to an online list. The list will not include convicted prostitutes or pimps, however, according to Anaheim officials. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office enacted a similar policy last year. The office posts names of convicted solicitors to its website and distributes the list to media outlets. Opponents of the decision claim that naming the convicted solicitors could harm the perpetrator’s families. Last year, there were 72 prostitution arrests in Anaheim. Another 35 arrests were made this year as of Sunday. - CYNTHIA WASHICKO

Through the grant, the graduate studies program is aiming to provide advising for new graduate students on academic success, financial aid and graduate student life.

Santa Ana woman dies in market

Some grad advising is great, but there isn’t a ... strong infrastructure for graduate advising on campus.

An unidentified woman died Wednesday at a Santa Ana meat market after stripping her clothes off, according to the Los Angeles Times. The woman may have been intoxicated or suffering from mental illness, police said. She died after being detained by security officers for stripping and acting erratically. The woman was handcuffed in a back room of the store when she started showing signs of physical distress. Paramedics were called but the woman died at the scene. The cause of her death is currently unknown. Homicide detectives are investigating the death. An autopsy may provide further details.

The first of the two grants, awarded in 2011, was another a five-year award also geared toward helping individuals who identify as Hispanic or disadvantaged, Powers said.

The fracking symposium brought panelists to CSUF to discuss issues surrounding the oil extraction method in Orange County. Attendees submitted questions for panelesits prior to the event.

Fracking: Community gathers CONTINUED FROM

The process has become controversial in recent years due to suspected links to seismic activities, polluted groundwater and other issues. David Bowman, interim dean of the College of Natural Science and Mathematics and professor of geological sciences, moderated the event. “The goal of this symposium is to provide city leaders and the public with the critical information needed to understand the local impacts of the oil industry,” Bowman said. The event hosted a series of expert panelists to discuss the concerns of the industry in an attempt to inform the audience in a nonpartisan and unbiased forum. “I’m interested in being persuaded to not be afraid that all the fracking they’re doing up there isn’t responsible for the earthquakes,” said Jessica Warren at the symposium. Robert Graves, research geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Pasadena Field Office and

Southern California regional coordinator for the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program addressed the issue of the possible connection between earthquakes and fracking. With fracking, most seismic activity occurs when waste water developed by the fracturing process is injected into the well conduit, Graves said. The risk of fracking contaminating water also arose as an issue at the symposium. W. Richard Laton, Ph.D., associate professor of geological sciences at CSUF, displayed a graphic showing that some businesses, landfills and pesticides contaminate groundwater and air even more than the process of fracking. “The groundwater in Orange County, the Fullerton and Yorba Linda fracking, sits directly atop of the groundwater basin, which supplies drinking water for 2.4 million people, and when we know that this industry has a track record for contaminating groundwater supplies, there’s really a lot at risk here,” said Alexandra Nagy, SoCal

fence they were on. “They all kind of seemed to say there’s nothing to worry about; it’s pretty safe and harmless, but I’m still a little skeptical,” said Donald Kinda, a CSUF

alumnus who graduated in the 1980s. CSUF has not released who provided more than $9,000 of the event’s $12,000 budget. The budget released to the Voice

Exploring unappreciated art on campus Art installations can be found in every corner of campus, but are rarely noticed

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan I’ve frequently found myself walking around campus and looking at all the things I would have never considered looking at a year or two ago. A lot of that time has been spent examining the art on campus, specifically the many sculptures that are here. I’ve never really cared about Cal State Fullerton’s campus. That sentiment may sound odd coming from a student who has gone here for the last three years, but it’s one that’s culminated out of my experience of being a commuter student. Having to commute back and forth to my home in Temecula has required me to stick to a hardset bus and train schedule that’s left little time for anything outside of my classes while I’m here. I’ve never really had time just to walk around the campus and enjoy it, and I never really saw that as an issue when I first started as a student at CSUF. I always visualized this campus as a big slab of concrete and never considered that there might

be anything worth looking at as I hurriedly made my way from class to class. But lately, I’ve had a change of heart about CSUF as a campus to admire. Perhaps I’ve taken more of an interest because I only have two semesters left before I graduate, or perhaps it’s because I’ve been driving to campus and have more time on my hands. A lot of the art installations on campus are things that are easily overlooked by many students. Take for example the Dale Hallberg Sculpture Garden, which is located between two different wings of the art building. Filled with a myriad of spindly-looking metal sculptures, the garden seems like something from another planet. The water wall located just a few feet beyond the garden is also a sight that is taken for granted. Painted ribbons of cut and fabricated metal are located along an art building wall. Water drips down the azure bands into a chlorinated pool that’s just as blue. Many students may not know about the mythology surrounding the Fallen David statue located outside of the Pollak Library. Whoever rubs the statue’s posterior before their midterms are guaranteed

The Fallen David was originally housed in Whittier before it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1987.

good grades. However, the statue has a history. It wasn’t always a clump of collapsed body parts, but a replica of Michelangelo’s David sculpture. The duplicate toppled when an earthquake hit its original home of Whittier in 1987 and it was subsequently donated to Cal State Fullerton. Today, what students

might view as a modern art piece was really the result of an accident. The Water Wall, Fallen David and Sculpture Garden are only three of dozens of different art pieces on campus. Other commonly overlooked art installations include the Sea Bee, a boat that looks like it’s sinking into the grass outside the library; The Nautilus,

a corten steel sculpture that looks like it’s flowing with movement because of its various bent panels; and the Double Scoop Ice Cream Cone, a replica of a dairy treat that has stood on campus since 1973. Now that I’ve had more free time, I notice a lot of students rushing from place to place, disregarding pieces of art that are a part of this campus.

As I sit in the sculpture garden drinking coffee, part of me wishes I spent more time enjoying the sights and sounds of this campus. I never looked beyond what I perceived to be a vast concrete wasteland. I never bothered to consider that there might be great things to look at. I’ve never really cared about Cal State Fullerton’s campus, but now, I’m beginning to.

BERENICE ASHIKIAN / DAILY TITAN

Two important propositions to watch California propositions derseve serious attention ALEX GROVES Daily Titan In just a few short months, Californians are going to be faced with an important question at the polls: which propositions are worth a “yes” vote and which are worth a “no” vote. While each proposition is important to research and understand, there are two that pose the greatest importance to Californians collectively; Propositions 1 and 2. Proposition 1 is a bond measure which would make improvements to water infrastructure through the implementation of water recycling, water storage and stormwater capture. One of its biggest costs would be the implementation of water storage systems for a whopping $2.7 billion. Proposition 2 would increase the amount of savings in California’s “rainyday fund.” California would have to put away 1.5 percent of its general fund revenues until its budget stabilization fund reaches 10 percent of its general fund revenue, and it would do this for the purpose of paying down its debt. The reason that these propositions are the most important on the ballot is because the issues affect all

of the states residents, not just some. California farmers are now using one-third of the the water they normally use, according to a recent UC Davis report. Fields that have historically produced fruit now lay barren. The economic impact of those empty fields is noticeable, with estimates of the agricultural industry taking a $2.2 billion hit as a result. California is currently $340 billion in debt, which is more than $8,500 of debt for each of its 38 million residents. With California suffering through its worst drought since 1959, and an exorbitant amount of debt, it’s critical that voters open up a dialogue about these propositions and the impact they will bear on the future of this state. That dialogue is already taking place as advocates and opponents of the propositions spar with each other on their potential effects. Advocates for Proposition 1 include Central Valley farmers, who have contested the importance of having a storage method for water, as periodic drought may become more common due to climate change. They’ve been some of the individuals hardest hit, as their ability to grow produce has been directly

impacted by the tremendous lack of water. Opponents of the proposition, including marine science and biological protection groups, have looked at it from a cost-benefit analysis, saying water infrastructure projects would have no immediate benefit to California’s drought situation and that the price tag would be too high. They’ve also commented on the proposition’s ambiguous language, saying it doesn’t get into specifics about the kind of projects it would finance. Proponents of the proposition have said fiscal responsibility on the part of California is the obvious choice. Careful budgeting is something that nearly anyone can get behind, regardless of political affiliation. Critics, however, would be quick to point out that language which indicates a proposition’s requirements could be canceled in times of emergency is too vague, making it all too easy to get rid of a logical and sound budgetary plan. Cal State Fullerton Political Science Professor Matt Jarvis said he can see why people might vote for the proposition, but the question remains of what constitutes an emergency. Jarvis drew parallels to when the Bush administration procured funding for

the Iraq war under their placed budget constraints simply by stating the war was an emergency. “The devil’s in the details,” Jarvis said. “I’m not sure if it would do as much as people think it would. However, I will note that it seems to have the majority of the votes—Democrats and Republicans—in the legislature supporting it.” Jarvis said he thought the other propositions on the ballot were not quite as impactful as Proposition 1 or Proposition 2. He said many were unlikely to pass and others bared no real impact to the state as a whole. A referendum approving the construction of a casino in Madera County was not likely to impact the state collectively in any measurable way. The arguments being made about the propositions are impactful because they give insight into the inner workings of the propositions, good or bad. It’s important that registered voters familiarize themselves with all the issues, but it’s especially important that they research and know how they might vote. That’s especially true when the proposition they might be voting for could affect their future as a resident in this state.

Proposition 1

Proposition 2

• Facts: Authorizes $7.12 billion in bonds for state water supply infrastructure projects such as public water system improvements, surface and groundwater storage, drinking water protection, drought relief, emergency water supplies and ecosystem/watershed restoration.

• Facts: It would alter the state’s existing requirements for the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA). The BSA is a rainy-day fund. It would also establish a Public School System Stabilization Account (PSSSA), which would give money to K-14 schools when their budget exceeds their general funds.

• Supporters: Gov. Jerry Brown, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, California Republican Party, California Democratic Party • Opponents: California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity

• Supporters: California Democratic Party, California Republican Party • Opponents: Ellen Brown (2014 candidate for California Treasurer), Educate Our State

Titans play two WCC teams The women’s soccer team hopes to continue their recent offensive flurry this weekend

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer hopes that its recent offensive breakout will continue this weekend when they play the Pepperdine Waves and the University of San Diego Toreros. The Titans have had a scoring surge lately, scoring seven goals in their last three games.

“

CSUF is undefeated this season in games where they have scored more than one goal.

They are coming off a 4-1 win over Idaho State where they had eight shots on goal and 10 corner kicks. It was only the second time the Titans have scored multiple goals in a game in 2014 and only the second time a game was decided by more than one goal. CSUF is undefeated this season in games where they have scored more than one goal. If the Titans can maintain their recent offensive success, they are bound to continue winning. The defense has been excellent all year for Head Coach Demian Brown’s squad. They have only allowed 10 goals, which is second best in the Big West Conference this year. Sophomore Jennifer Stuart has been a brick wall in

goal for the Titans. She has only allowed three goals in her five starts this season, and has two shutouts. Stuart has allowed just 0.55 goals per game and has a .800 save percentage, both of which are the best in the conference. The Titan defense will have to contain the best offensive player in the West Coast Conference—Lynn Williams of Pepperdine. Williams has six goals and 20 shots on goal this season and gets off 5.3 shots per game. She also sets the table for her teammates and has three assists on the year. The Pepperdine defense is staunch as well. They have six shutouts and have only allowed three goals in the month of September. They allow 0.59 goals per game, which is by far the best in the WCC. Sophomore goalkeeper Hannah Seabert has started all 29 games of her collegiate career. The Riverside native has an .846 save percentage and has 33 saves on the season. No. 11 Pepperdine is 8-11 on the season and their only loss came at the hands of No. 1 UCLA on Sept. 7. The Waves are on a fourgame winning streak and are coming off a 2-1 win against USC on the road. After hosting Pepperdine Thursday, the Titans will travel to San Diego to play USD. The Toreros are 3-4-2 overall, but are much more impressive at home where they are 3-1-1. They won their last two games against San Diego State and Oklahoma, who

are ranked No. 20 and 19, respectively. But USD has struggled against Big West opponents on the road this season, playing to a scoreless tie against No. 20 Long Beach State and losing back-toback games to Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine. Sophomore defender Victoria Walker leads the Toreros in goals with three. USD has only scored 12 goals in nine games, but are a well-rounded offense with eight different players scoring this season. The Toreros know how to share the ball.

They are second in the WCC in assists per game with 1.56, trailing only Saint Mary’s. The Titans won their last game against USD in 2011, a 2-0 shutout at Titan Stadium. Rebecca Wilson scored a goal in that game and she currently is the CSUF leader in goals with three. The Titans should be well rested for the weekend’s tough games, considering they have only played one game in the past two weeks. They begin Big West play on Oct. 2.

The men’s soccer team hasn’t lost since Sept. 12 against Detroit. They begin a three-game road trip against Grand Canyon Sunday.

Men’s soccer hopes to stay hot The Titan men are undefeated since putting David Rodriguez Elias in goal on Sept. 14

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team will look to stay hot and build on their current three-game winning streak when they visit Grand Canyon University on Sunday. Fullerton started off the season on a rocky note with an 0-3-2 mark, but their recent success has given Titan fans a reason to believe this year’s squad is developing into a Big West Conference contender. Grand Canyon University enters the game with a 2-31 mark after tying UC Davis 1-1 this past week. The Antelopes play Loyola Marymount on Friday before the Titans head to Phoenix on Sunday. Three different Grand Canyon players have netted two goals this year, but outside of those three reliable sources of offense, the Antelopes have just one goal.

Both squads are battle-tested in extra time, as they’ve been involved in four overtime matches already this year. The Antelopes will rely on goalkeeper Kendyl Day to keep them in the game against the scorching Titans offense. The sophomore goalie has started every game for Grand Canyon, allowing just over one goal per match. The Titans have not had the same continuity between the pipes all year, as they have switched from junior Jeff Salt to sophomore David Rodriguez Elias in recent games. The insertion of Elias has directly correlated with the team’s success, as the Titans have won all three games in which he started. Senior Garrett Losee has been the hottest Titan as of late, scoring one goal in each of the last three games to bring some life into what had been a very inconsistent offense early on. Senior Marc Fenelus,

junior Julian Okai and senior Amara Soumah each have two goals on the year for the Titans, giving them a more well-rounded offense than their opponents. Senior Ian Ramos and freshman Diego Sanchez have also added scores this year for Fullerton. After scoring just five goals in their first five games, the Titans have poured in eight goals in their past three games. The three-game winning streak began with a stunning upset of the No. 14 ranked University of Maryland-Baltimore County Retrievers in the UNLV Nike Invitational. The come-from-behind win has seemingly energized George Kuntz’s club right before they begin Big West play. After a 3-6-1 record in conference play last season, the Titans clearly have room for improvement in 2014. CSUF finished last in the Big West South division, failing to qualify for

the conference tournament which results in a NCAA Tournament bid for the winning team. As it stands, the Titans are currently third out of four teams in the Big West South division before conference games begin. The Titans will need to play more consistently away from Titan Stadium than last year, where they finished just 2-7 on the road. UC Irvine and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo appear to be the class of the Big West in the early going, with the Anteaters sitting undefeated at 6-0-1, and the Mustangs holding a 5-2-1 mark to this point. Both teams will be traveling to Titan Stadium this year, giving CSUF an excellent opportunity to make a strong statement in front of their home crowd. With solid goalkeeping from Elias and a consistent offensive effort from the Titans, there is hope for the 2014 team to take massive strides from where they left off last season.
