High-capacity access points improve Wi-Fi ALEX FAIRBANKS Daily Titan As technological improvements lead to a greater demand for data and internet connectivity, Cal State Fullerton has been bolstering its Wi-Fi infrastructure to stay ahead of the curve. Since April 2014, CSUF’s Information Technology Department has added nearly 420 new, high-density access points that effectively increased device connection capacity from about 14,000 simultaneous connections to about 22,000 simultaneous connections campus-wide,

said Vice President for Information Technology Amir Dabirian. Devices such as laptops and smart phones communicate with access points, small white boxes located all over the campus. The access points connect to the large data center underneath the Pollak Library, which has 10-gigabit per second connectivity. Students and faculty only use about three gigabits— or 30 percent—of that connection, meaning there is plenty of bandwidth left to use, Dabirian said. He added that the main issue to resolve is the access points themselves. The older access points being replaced have 100 megabit per second connectivity, which has an approximate

capacity of 60 simultaneous connections. The new high-density access points have 1-gigabit—1,000 megabits—per second connectivity, which has an approximate capacity of 120 simultaneous connections. The hundreds of access points that have been replaced with new high-density models has led to thousands more users being able to access the campus Wi-Fi simultaneously. The main areas on campus where Wi-Fi connectivity has been improved are the library and the common areas. The common areas are the first floors of the academic buildings, include Mihaylo Hall, McCarthy Hall, Langsdorf Hall and Humanities, Dabirian said.

The main upgrades to campus Wi-Fi since last year have been focused not on coverage, but rather on density. The high-density access points have been strategically placed in highly-populated areas. In addition to access point upgrades and overall infrastructure upgrades, the software has been updated as well. The old Wi-Fi servers Student-Secure and Faculty-Secure have been combined and streamlined into one server called CSUF-Titans. Some CSUF students said they are mostly satisfied with the campus WiFi, but still notice some issues in certain buildings. Criminal justice major Jaclyn Mai, 21, finds that Wi-Fi normally does not work when she is in

the Clayes performing arts building or Langsdorf Hall, she said. Human Services major Joel Soriano, 20, said the Wi-Fi works well in the library, but in the Steven G. Mihaylo and Humanities buildings, “it just cuts off.” “It will work, it will say CSUF-Titans, but it will just take forever to load and load and it will just jump into CSUF-guests, even though I’m a student here,” Soriano said. Willie Peng, assistant director of Infrastructure Services, said although there may be some issues with the network, some problems may actually be caused by the improper configuration on student’s devices.

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team traveled to Jackie Robinson Stadium in Westwood Tuesday night to take on No. 3 UCLA, but were overmatched by the Bruins and fell 7-2. UCLA (26-7 overall, 12-3 Pac 12) got off to a hot start on the mound as well as on offense. Bruins starting pitcher Cody Poteet began the game retiring the first nine batters he faced. Fullerton (19-16 overall, 6-3 Big West) changed things up on the mound Tuesday, starting their closer Tyler Peitzmeier, who leads the club with 12 saves on the season. Peitzmeier, who was limited to 50 pitches on the evening, left the game after allowing six hits and four runs (three earned) over 2.2 innings. In the bottom of the second inning, with runners on first and second base, Peitzmeier attempted a pickoff throw to second that looked like a sure bet to get the runner out. However, the toss bounced off shortstop Tristan Hildebrandt’s glove and rolled into center field. The UCLA runners took advantage by moving to second and third base and eventually scoring after a groundout to shortstop and single up the middle. UCLA scored two more runs in the third inning, quickly jumping out to a 4-0 lead against the Titans. Fullerton got off to a sluggish start, not getting a man on base until the fourth inning when Dustin Vaught was hit by a pitch. SEE BASEBALL

Spring Awakening to blossom in the Young Theatre

Coming-of-age rock musical to open Friday VERONICA FELIPE For the Daily Titan

College of the Arts will present the musical Spring Awakening Friday evening in the Young Theatre. Spring Awakening, with lyrics by Steven Sater and adapted from Frank Wedekind’s play, is a coming-ofage rock musical centered on a group of sexually repressed teenage students attempting to discover and define themselves. The musical is set in 19th century Germany and follows the journey of Melchior, played by Brian Whitehill, and Wendla, played by Alexis Ritchey, as they deal with societal oppression and their relationship. “The play is about finding yourself as a human being …

at the worst possible time,” guest director Richard Israel said. Bruce Goodrich, Theatre and Dance Department Chair, asked Israel to direct Spring Awakening last summer. Israel immediately accepted because it’s a show that he has always wanted to “get his hands on,” Isreal said. Issues such as depression, teenage pregnancy and sexual frustration are explored in this musical. A reason Whitehill, 21-year-old senior musical theater major, enjoyed playing Melchior because it allowed him to get out of his comfort zone, he said. “It’s unlike any show I’ve done here,” Whitehill said. However, Ritchey, 22-yearold senior musical theater major, feels that it’s this type of push outside one’s comfort zone makes the musical believable, which is what they all wanted. SEE YOUNG

DARLENE CASAS Daily Titan MSNBC News anchor Richard Lui and Secretary of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Julian Castro, will give the commencement addresses for Cal State Fullerton’s 2015 commencement ceremonies. Lui will give the address at the May 16 university-wide ceremony, and Castro will give the address for the same ceremony the following day. In 2007, Lui became the first Asian American male to anchor a daily, national cable news show when he earned a position in CNN Headline News. He is an anchor for MSNBC and NBC news where he has covered topics from Tea Party movements and presidential elections to International Women’s Day. Lui’s interest in politics began during the

Proposition 13 debates in the 1970s, according to NBC. Prop 13, which reduced property tax rates in homes, farms and businesses, sparked heated political debates due to the resulting cut to California schools. Then, at 19, Lui became a campaign manager during San Francisco College Board member Alan Wong’s reelection campaign. After the campaign, he returned to college to earn a bachelors at UC Berkeley and eventually became a reporter for news radio station KALX, where he covered stories including the Rodney King riots. During the 2000s, Lui covered political disputes in Asia, including elections in Taiwan that pitted pro and anti-Chinese parties against each other. In 2014, Castro became the 16th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he oversees 8,000 employees. The department is responsible for executing housing and urban development policies, including assisting elderly and disabled people to

obtain services from community and supportive agencies. Before earning a position at Health and Urban Development, Castro served as mayor of San Antonio, Texas and was recognized in the World Economic Forum’s list of Young Global Leaders in 2010. That same year, Castro was featured in TIME magazine’s “40 under 40” list of new civic leaders who demonstrate efforts to restore a broken political system. In 2009, Castro was elected mayor of San Antonio at 34—the youngest mayor of America’s top-50 cities at the time. He helped organize an initiative to invest in the city’s center and older neighborhoods, a plan that helped build more than 2,400 homes in 2014 and generated nearly $350 million in total investment. This was the only neighborhood in the nation to receive grants from Choice Neighborhoods, Promise Neighborhoods and the Byrne Criminal Justice program, three prominent Obama Administration initiatives.

Google is likely to face formal anti-trust charges being prepared by the European Commission, which have been conducting an investigation of the company’s practices for almost five years, the New York Times reported. The investigation into Google’s practices is focused on determining whether Google has unfairly promoted its own products during searches. The search engine holds nearly 90 percent of Europe’s search market, which is far higher than American search markets, where Bing maintains competition with Google. If Google is found guilty of breaching European anti-trust laws, it could be forced to pay nearly six billion euros— around 10 percent of the revenue the company earned last year. - MATTHEW HADDIX

The Academic Senate will consider a proposal to rename the Radio-TV-Film department to the Department of Cinema and Television Arts during its meeting Friday.

Proposal filed to change RTVF name Academic Senate to discuss proposal at April 17 meeting EVAN LANCASTER Daily Titan For years, the RadioTV-Film department has provided students with the skills and resources to enter the film and television industries, but members of the department have felt that their name doesn’t match their objective. Those members unanimously decided to change the department’s name to the Department of Cinema and Television Arts. The new name will better reflect the department’s curriculum and areas of focus, said Garrett S. Hart, department chair and professor for the Radio-TVFilm department. One of the issues many have with the “RTVF” moniker is the inclusion of the word “radio,” which Hart said is not an exclusive area of study within the department. “We don’t really teach radio; we have two radio

courses, so it’s really not an accurate reflection,” Hart said. “Our focus is on cinema and television.” Members of the department used a policy statement that allows for a department to change its names as it evolves and its curricular mission changes, Hart said. “We arrived on this name as a reflection of what we do, what we teach, and we also thought it was a pretty elegant title,” Hart said. “So we put forth a proposal to change it … it was unanimous in the department.” The policy, UPS 100.601, requires the dean of the college requesting the change to forward the request to the vice president for Academic Affairs and the chair of the Academic Senate. The Academic Senate chair then circulates the request to the University Curriculum Committee and Graduate Education Committee for review and opportunity for comment. Since April 6, the Academic Senate has been reviewing the proposal, Academic Senate Chair Sean Walker said.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California voted Tuesday to cut water deliveries by 15 percent, the LA Times reported. The district provides nearly half of all water used by Southern Californians, but the cut still falls short of Brown’s call to cut residential water usage by 25 percent. By cutting 15 percent of deliveries, the district aims to save approximately 108 billion gallons of water . The average household uses around 160,000 gallons a year. The water district hopes to replenish some of its reserves with deliveries from the Colorado River, the State Water Project and by purchasing water from Northern California farmers. - MATTHEW HADDIX

“If there is opposition to the proposal, the committee will have an open hearing for public discussion,” Walker wrote in an e-mail. “Once this happens, the University Curriculum Committee will make a recommendation to the chair of the Academic Senate who will then agendize it for the Senate to look at.” If the request meets opposition but is approved by the senate, the ultimate decision will be made by the University President Mildred García, according to the name-change policy. Along with the name change proposal, the Radio-TV-Film department has also requested to change bachelor’s degrees to bachelor’s in cinema and television art. Both proposals are up for review in the Academic Senate Office until April 17. “It has to go up the chain, so whenever it gets all of its approvals it will change,” he said. “I’m cautiously optimistic—or hopeful, maybe that it’ll start within the next academic year,” Hart said.

Iraq offered aid after ISIS fighting In a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi at the White House on Tuesday, President Obama offered $200 million in humanitarian aid to assist people displaced in Iraq due to fighting with the Islamic State, according to NBC. The two discussed American involvement and Al-Abadi’s progress in the Iraq government. Obama was content with Al-Abadi’s progress of pursuing a comprehensive government. While Iraq prevents the Islamic State from entering the country, Al-Abadi weighed how much America will provide support. The two deliberated on plans to work together and how the U.S. can provide additional support in the Iraq government procedures. - JUSTIN PATUANO

he said. If problems still arise, students should go to the genius corner located in the first floor of Pollak library or call the IT help desk, Peng said. The IT help desk and upgrades to the campus Wi-Fi network and

infrastructure are paid for in part by the Student Success Initiative fee. Approximately $15 from every student’s fee payment of $120.67 went toward WiFi improvements for this academic year, according to the Student Success Initiative allocation budget

document. In the 2015-2016 academic year, IT plans to focus on doubling the Wi-Fi capacity in all of the classrooms and indoor areas, Dabirian said. In the 2016-2017 academic year, IT plans to focus on expanding the

coverage and increasing the capacity of campus WiFi to the outside areas. The portion of the Student Success Initiative fee that will go to Wi-Fi improvements in the 20152016 academic year will be $29.70 and $45 in the 20162017 academic year.

“Every single second of this show comes from a place that is honest, and raw and real, even though it is … crazy and dark and intimate,” Ritchey said. The characters’ journeys and struggles are relatable, especially to college students, Israel said. “(College students) are trying to self-identify as individuals up against a culture that may not be oppressive in the way that 19th century Germany, but is oppressive in its own way in that you are

told ‘this is the ideal.’ So I think this show will never be dated, it’s never going to be not be relevant,” Israel said. This is the last CSUF production Whitehill and Ritchey will perform in before graduation. Whitehill is excited to end his journey in the Young Theatre, which houses a thrust stage, meaning the audience wraps around three sides of that stage. “The things they can do with this space are just ridiculous … It’s the perfect show to do in the Young just because it’s so

intimate,” Whitehill said. All these aspects, as well as the music, make Spring Awakening unique, Israel said. “If musicals aren’t your thing, this would be the musical to come see,” Israel said. Tickets can be purchased online at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office or by calling (657) 278-3371. Tickets are $20 for students, faculty and seniors. All tickets will be $22 at the door.

The Financial Literacy Program will perform RENT: A Financial Literacy Movement in the Becker Amphitheater on Thursday as part of the 2015 Arts Week. The show is a short adaptation of the popular Broadway musical that aims to educate students about managing their finances and staying out of debt. The cast features all freshmen in the Department of Theatre and Dance.

Rock musical to advise students JUSTIN PATUANO Daily Titan Students will become more financially savvy Thursday at the fourth annual RENT: A Financial Literacy Movement production presented by the Financial Literacy Program. The production features an all-freshmen 12 member cast in an engaging educational show about finances. “(Freshmen) don’t have performance opportunities, so this show fills the educational gap while helping spread the knowledge of

financial literacy,” said producing artistic director, Tim Alexander. In response to the tremendous growth of the musical and the awareness it projects, the name has been changed from a “spectacular,” to a “movement” this year. The show is put on in support of Financial Awareness Month. “It has affected so many students in the past and every year we affect more and more,” junior directing major Sarah Pence said. “It really is becoming a movement here on campus to change students’ lives.” Pence served as a cast member in the 2013 production and assistant director last year. “It’s pretty exciting

developed this year and heads production duties. The main aim of the new program and internships is to provide educational opportunities for the creative team of the production as well as for the cast, Pence said. “Theater is a great way to promote social change without educating students in a meeting. It’s a way to connect with students and really make them understand that there are other options to support you financially here at school,” Pence said. “It’s a way to do it a little bit more artistically and creatively.” Many low income and first generation students may not be having these financial conversations with their parents, Alexander said. “(Instead of) having a

mundane Powerpoint lecture, we bring this high energy rock musical,” Alexander said. Sometimes students don’t know the basic opportunities that are here on campus that are talked about in the production, Pence said. The presentation will be tomorrow at 12 p.m., 12:45 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the Becker Amphitheater. The musical has been in production since December, when auditions were being held and casting finished before intersession break. A new script is developed every year. “We’ve once again adapted the story to fit very well in a way that’s going to connect to different students on campus,” Pence said.

Money should be feminized Women deserve to be honored on American currency ANGIE PEREZ Daily Titan U.S. paper currency has been exclusively reserved for influential male figures who’ve shaped American history. Though they are all prominent pioneers in our history, there is something very important missing. Where are all the women who have also helped shape our country? They are a huge part of American history. Women on 20s, a nonprofit organization, addresses this question by campaigning to place a woman on U.S. paper currency. The organization believes this symbolic representation of women will play an instrumental part in promoting gender equality. Their cause is a worthy one. It’s time to put a woman’s face on an American bill. Women on 20s’ goal is to initiate a mandate for a new $20 bill by 2020, marking the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, according to their website. We need more women representation in all aspects of society and that includes our currency. At least 10 other countries have recognized women on their banknotes, including the United Kingdom, Syria, the Philippines, Canada and Israel. The structure of social order where the majority of men are in charge affects how a society develops ideas and meanings

Women on 20s is an organization rallying for a woman to be represented on the 20 dollar bill. Due to Andrew Jackson’s controversial past, he should be removed and replaced by a woman who has contributed significantly to our history. Final candidates are Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt and Wilma Mankiller.

of gender. This results in a lack of women representation in all facets of society. Margie Brown-Coronel, Ph.D., assistant professor in the history department at Cal State Fullerton, believes the representation of women as key historical figures is overdue. Her research consists of 19th century Spanish-Mexican women in California, looking at different generations of women and their experience during the U.S. conquest to regional development of cities. Key moments and events in history are commonly viewed as male dominant by presidents, military leaders, political figures and businessman,

Brown-Coronel said. Since the beginning of time, women have been challenging gender roles, fighting for equality and trying to change the way people think in society. It’s fitting to replace Andrew Jackson on the 20 dollar bill. Jackson is significant to American history as the founder of the Democratic Party, but his legacy is tainted by the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The mandate ended in countless deaths by disease and starvation, after the forced relocation of Native Americans for European settlers. There are many women who have changed the course of history, although

not notably recognized for their contributions, Brown-Coronel said. Once people begin to see important women legitimately represented, we can finally claim that true gender equality is in our future. “I think in many ways children, or the younger generations, are ahead of the curve. You don’t see women being as inhibited or feeling that ... being a woman is somehow an obstacle. I think there is a new generation and a new way of thinking,” Brown-Coronel said. Women like Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt and Wilma Mankiller deserve to be honored for their

incredible contributions to society. Only three women have ever appeared on U.S. currency, according to USMint.gov. All three women, Hellen Keller, Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea, appeared American currency, but only on coins. It’s time to change that by honoring a woman on a paper bill. It is undeniable that women have already broken down barriers, gaining equality as time moves on. Giving women a place on U.S. currency will properly celebrate powerful figures from American history and establish the commemoration these remarkable women so justly deserve.

Money Stats USMint.gov: • Only three women have ever appeared on U.S. currency in coin form.

Boston Bomber deserves life in prison JACKIE TAMBARA Daily Titan The jury of the Boston Marathon bombing case must begin the task of making a life or death decision on the 21-year-old convict, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The controversial discussion now involves whether Tsarnaev deserves to receive the death penalty under federal law or serve a life sentence in prison without parole. Punishing Tsarnaev with the death penalty would not be much of a punishment for him considering the 30 federal counts against him in the bombing, 17 of which could result in the death penalty. There were four people killed and around 260 injured. Tsarnaev deserves much more retribution than a lethal injection and a free pass to the after world. In order to bring justice to this situation, Tsarnaev must pay for what he has done to

the victims and the city of Boston. Sentencing Tsarnaev to a life in prison without the possibility of parole is the right solution. Since he is only 21 years old, he will have plenty of years in the future to sit in prison and contemplate his poor decisions. If his punishment were the death penalty, he would have no repercussions after it’s done, which really isn’t fair.

Tsarnaev needs to spend time thinking about his decisions

Federal law should imprison him for life in the country that he has terrorized so greatly. It’s quite hypocritical for the federal government to execute Tsarnaev for the act of killing others. It would be like fighting fire with fire, which would only make the situation worse. Killing a murderer will not bring justice to

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is under trial for the murder and injury of citizens during the Boston marathon bombing in April 2013. Tsarnaev deserves to serve the rest of his life in prison without parole. This will allow him to contemplate the severity of his poor decisions.

Tsarnaev’s case. It will only ignite the flame. Federal law rarely applies the death penalty to terrorism and the state of Massachusetts is naturally against the penalty altogether. Fifty-seven percent of Boston residents agree that Tsarnaev

should be imprisoned for life without parole and about 33 percent wish the death penalty upon him, according to a Boston Globe poll last September. If the jury decides to put Tsarnaev on death row through federal law, citizens

and taxpayers will be the ones paying for his time spent waiting for execution. Expenses surrounding the death penalty are much higher for taxpayers than letting a convict spend the rest of his or her life in prison, according to the Death

Penalty Information Center, a nonprofit organization that aims to educate the public with information concerning capital punishment. The jury needs to make the right decision and commit Tsarnaev to a life behind bars.
