Dancers take on original Student growth choreography in the Little focus of forum

Candidate shares approach for reaching students SPENCER CUSTODIO Daily Titan

MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

The Department of Theater and Dance’s annual Spring Dance Theatre show opened Friday in the Little Theatre. The show consists of six different dance pieces, each choreographed by student dancers. The dance piece Ataxia features dancers performing in three confined spaces.

Dance show in the Little leaves audiences amazed ANASTASIA GEGES For the Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Department of Theater and Dance wowed audiences Thursday with their annual Spring Dance Theatre.

Gladys Kares is the coordinator of the show, which consists of six pieces that bring their own flair.

The opening piece, A Duke Groove, is a fun, jazzy number that leaves the audience ready and wanting to see more. The exciting piece features choreography by Alvin Rangel and music by Duke Ellington.

To kick off the second

act, the dancers perform a piece filled with energy and emotion titled Ataxia . The term ataxia means “an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements,” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary online. The dancers bring great amounts of emotion to this piece and gave it their all.

Aside from the phenomenal dancers, the music brings a chilling, eerie feel to the dance. The music featured in the dance is Stilhead by Mike Sheridan and Fog by Nosaj Thing.

The scenic design by Ashley Strain features three rooms that are blocked off, confining the dancers during the piece.

CSUF junior Nadine Tran is one of the dancers in the piece Sehnsucht.

Spring Dance Theatre is coordinatated by Cal State Fullerton professor of dance Gladys Kares. The show runs through Sunday in the Little Theatre.

The first of two candidates aiming to fill the position of Director of University Outreach and New Student Programs presented Tuesday, speaking on his experience and goals for the position.

Tim Rooney currently works at Arizona State University as associate director for first year programs. He’s responsible for readmission decisions, advising, orientation and putting together various student support programs.

The director position he’s applying for has similar responsibilities regarding orientation and recruitment.

The office of University Outreach, which is under Student Affairs, focuses on increasing the number and diversity of freshmen and transfers who enroll in and graduate from Cal State Fullerton, according to the office’s website.

Rooney would like to focus the outreach programs on more veterans, underrepresented freshmen, transfer students and returning students, he said.

During his presentation, Rooney said if he is hired, he would like to do major, or college-specific welcome weeks, similar to what he has done with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU. He is a big proponent of mandatory advising, especially for first-time freshmen, he said. He added that he supports semester progress reports for lower division courses. Those reports would give new students a chance to see where they stand, and what action they may have to take in order to increase their grade if it was in jeopardy, he said.

‘It’s on Us’ takes aim at sexual assault National campaign to prevent assault comes to CSUF ELAIZA ARMAS Daily Titan Associated Students, Inc. and Cal State Fullerton are urging students to take the “It’s on Us” pledge to stop sexual assault and create an environment in which it is not acceptable.

Last month, Dean of Students Tonantzin Oseguera emailed the campus a video of Associated Students President Harpreet Bath and members of the Associated Students Board of Directors calling on members of the campus community to stand against sexual assaults.

“When you chose to be a Titan, you chose to be a part of a community,” multiple students in the video said. “This is our campus, this is our

problem, but we are also the solution.”

The campaign, a national effort launched by President Barack Obama in September, is designed to raise awareness and put an end to sexual assault on college campuses, according to a White House report.

One in five women have been sexually assaulted while in college, according to the report.

Associated Students and CSUF are creating ways to make sure victims of sexual assault receive the help and justice that they deserve, Bath said.

The video, produced by Associated Students, is the first step the organization sought to use to educate students about sexual assault.

“The video that we created was in line with those efforts, where the Associated Students, student government on campus along with students affairs and the campus came together to create a video

with a powerful message,” Bath said.

There are two parts to the initiative; the first is educating students of the resources

available throughout campus.

The second part is the investigation piece, which makes sure students receive justice by having each report properly

looked at, Bath said.

“All of that is something that the university is working really hard on,” Bath said. “In revamping our Title

IX committees and revamping the way they go about doing that.”

Often times with sexual assault, victim blaming occurs, Bath said, and society focuses a lot on prevention, but the role of students, faculty, staff and campus community to make sure sexual assault doesn’t happen is underplayed, Bath said.

“Everyone plays a part, and I think that’s what the video is getting at with a powerful message—that it’s not the fault of the (victim),

it’s our responsibility as a campus to create a safe environment,” Bath said.

Every individual on this campus deserves a safe space, Bath said—a space where they can feel open and safe in attending their classes.

“On our hand as students, we want to make sure we’re communicating the resources, we’re communicating the message and educating each other as a community to prevent sexual assault

and raise awareness about it,” Bath said.

Students who believe they have been a victim of sexual assault can report it to the WoMen’s Center in University Hall room 205 or at (657) 278-3928.

Victims can also report assaults to University Police at (657) 278-2515, or the Title IX Administrator, Michelle Tapper, at (657) 278-4207.

This move could reopen an ongoing discussion of how pollutants, which were allegedly dumped into a shallow aquifer in the northern section of the Orange County Groundwater Basin, could threaten all of Anaheim and Fullerton’s drinking water basins.

The Environmental Protection Agency could soon step up to resolve the contamination and later render an investigation to identify those guilty of the contamination.

NEWS First Honors director forum kicks off

PAGE 3 WEDNESDAY MAY 6, 2015

Honors program starts search for next program director DEVIN ULMER Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton University Honors Program held an open forum Tuesday for the first candidate in its search of a new director.

Susan Jacobsen, Ph.D., an associate professor of English and current director of the University Honors Program, discussed her candidacy for director of the program with roughly 25 attendees including campus administrators and Provost Jose L. Cruz.

Jacobsen opened the forum with a brief speech about her background and explained why she wants to be director for another term.

A concern for the program was balancing resources for mentoring, co-curricular activities and assessment, said

Gayle Brunelle, Ph.D., history professor and one of original collaborators in the creation of the Honors Program at CSUF. Jacobsen’s goal is to better the program through hiring people to new positions that relieve the burden from student assistants, establishing a peer tutoring program and communicating better with the campus community, she said.

Currently, 765 honors students are enrolled in the program, which makes it one of the biggest on this campus.

“I think that Honors really is one of the best-kept secrets on this campus and I hope that through this director’s search, that the value of Honors to the campus will become more apparent,” Brunelle said.

The program is seriously under-funded and under supported, Brunelle said.

“I am hoping, as a consequence of this search process, not only will the profile of Honors on the campus be raised, but that this will also

inspire the administration of the university, which is so relatively new, to devote some more resources to this program,” Brunelle said.

Jacobsen graduated from Buena Vista College with her bachelor’s and master’s degree from Syracuse

University, and doctorate from University of Iowa.

She has been the standing director and chair of the program since 2005.

In addition to directing the program, Jacobsen taught numerous courses for both undergraduate and graduate

students.

Forum: Search for outreach director begins 1

Rooney discussed a University 100 class for incoming freshmen, to give incoming students an opportunity to learn what type of academic support they have as well as the skills of time management and note taking that are essential to college success.

The course could be taught by upper-division students in order to bolster high-impact practices on campus, he said.

A junior and senior checkin with the advising center would be beneficial, he said, adding that a soft hold would be put on their account at the end of the semester if they fail to meet that requirement. A soft hold won’t interfere with registration, but would merely serve as a reminder, he said.

A possible Univeristy 200 class could be beneficial to the transfer students, Rooney said. It would help them learn about the different high-impact practices they

can get involved in both on and off the campus.

“I think the interactive piece is very important, too.

So, you want to try to avoid that point where they start

to glaze over and bring them back,” he said.

An employee from the WoMen’s Center said 17 to 18 percent of the student population is non-traditional or re-entry students.

Those students feel alone on campus and going to orientation seems to further alienate many of them from the rest of the campus, she said.

Rooney commented on multiple items to help remedy that.

“I think the in-person

experience is really important,” Rooney said.

It would also be beneficial to encourage students to be involved with groups as well, he said.

He added that those incoming students could have their own orientation that would have student mentors who are also apart of the non-traditional population on campus.

Transfer students should have mandatory advising also, he said, at least during their first year.

“The definition of the word (sehnsucht) itself, it’s a German word, and it means something along the lines of wanting something, but not knowing exactly what that is, whether that be a person, a place, or a thing,” Tran said.

In this piece, the audience sees one man struggling as he sees another man and woman happy together.

“He’s just going through that struggle and trying to find out what he wants, and

then he see’s it, but then he can’t quite get to it, and can’t quite … allow himself to get to that,” Tran said.

Chelsea Neiss choreographed this contemporary, modern dance.

To close the show, the dancers perform a piece called The Chosen One, choreographed by Tamara Teragawa. This piece captures attention with its creepy, witch-like character in the beginning. After the audience sees the dark character, they are introduced to the dancers, who bring the audience into a

Resturants all over Orange County such as The Vue, Don the Beachcomber’s and OC Mining Company will be having special Mother’s Day events perfect for making mothers feel appreciated.

Orange County to celebrate mothers Avoid last-minute plans and take mom somewhere nice DEANNA GOMEZ Daily Titan Mother’s Day is this Sunday and drug stores have undoubtedly filled their shelves with cheap, ordinary presents for mom.

However, for those who want to put a little more effort into Mother’s Day, Orange County offers a variety of fun events to take mom to on her special day.

There are a multitude of Mother’s Day brunches across Orange County.

The Vue restaurant at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott is holding a special Mother’s Day brunch. Diners can enjoy an ocean view, along with an all-American breakfast, that includes made-to-order omelettes, jumbo shrimp and a primerib carving station. Those

interested should call and make reservations.

For those who prefer to be entertained as they eat, Don the Beachcomber’s is offering a brunch that includes build-your-own omelette stations and coconut pancakes. There will be three live Polynesian shows throughout brunch, and each mom will receive a special, free gift.

Old World German Restaurant, the OC Mining Company and El Adobe San Juan Capistrano will also have Mother’s Day brunches.

After brunch, some options for mom include a Mother’s Day Coastal Cruise at Dana Point Harbor with Dana Point Wharf Sportfishing. The cruise is $49 for adults and $29 for kids.

For those on a budget, a visit to the beautiful Carlsbad Flower Fields is a great choice. It is $12 for adults, $11 for seniors and $6 for children ages three to ten.

It is a further drive, but is

worth it. The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch will be hosting a special Mother’s Day Celebration for all of those in attendance.

Those looking for something more familiar to do, Knott’s Berry Farm and Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament are safe choices.

At Knott’s Berry Farm, adults are $43 online children and seniors are $37 online.

At Medieval Times, adults are $61.95 and children 12 and under are $36.95 plus tax and a processing fee online.

There are plenty of events going on this Mother’s Day. There is no need to rush to the drugstore for a $10 gift. Orange County is full fun activities every weekend and this Sunday is no different.

the

Veronese Gallery Café oozes charm Local café serves tasty coffee with plenty of ambiance JACKIE TAMBARA Daily Titan Very few places have the right qualities for a great study café. Some are loud and crowded and many don’t have the best food.

Veronese Gallery Café is the notable exception and goes above and beyond the typical Starbucks or Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

Tucked away and disguised as a house on Commonwealth Avenue, Veronese Gallery Café is a true hidden gem in downtown Fullerton.

Whether you’re looking to eat, study or just relax with a cup of coffee, it’s the perfect spot to unwind.

Parking and entering the café is a breeze. There’s an entrance on Commonwealth Avenue as well as behind the establishment.

Parking is ample near both entrances. Upon entering the café, you’re instantly greeted with a peaceful and serene ambiance.

The café is large and spacious, with a blissful

atmosphere that consists of unique greenery, and flowers planted throughout the premises.

Succulents, cacti, intertwining vines and luscious plants permeate the café grounds.

A flowing waterfall display with small fish creates a soothing sound of running water near the back patio. Adding to the ambiance, there are different types of abstract art displayed throughout the café.

Statues, figurines, three dimensional art and paintings make for a vibrant visual experience.

Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. There are even a few separate study rooms, which are great for group projects or hanging out with friends.

The tables, chairs and eclectic furniture provides a lot of character. The floral print table cloths and cushions create a feeling of being at home. The music is always easygoing, tranquil and in tune with the mellow vibes of the café.

As if the ambiance wasn’t enough, the food and drinks at Veronese Gallery Café are always fresh and delectable.

The food is always on point

and cooked with fresh ingredients daily. The service is friendly and efficient.

The homemade spaghetti dish will give any Italian grandmother a run for her money.

It comes topped with a layer of baked cheese and a choice of meat or seafood marinara sauce. It includes a choice of either a side salad or a drink, including smoothies, slushies, teas and iced or hot coffee.

One of the most popular coffee drinks is the Korean-styled coffee.

It’s the perfect fusion of sweetness, yet retains a solid roasted coffee flavor. On a hot summer day, an iced Korean coffee is wonderfully refreshing, while the hot version is perfect for the winter.

The café also serves Korean-style dishes such as spicy barbeque pork with rice.

It tastes exactly like a homemade Korean plate; very authentic. From the serene ambiance and the eclectic furniture, to the tasty dishes and satisfying coffee, Veronese Gallery Café is the whole package.

Consider this a must-stop the next time you’re looking for a place to relax, unwind and enjoy some tasty bites.

Fullerton’s Veronese Gallery Café is an excellent place to relax with a cup of coffee or meet up with friends for a study date. The charming café serves tasty American and Korean fare.

Stay home this summer, travel in the winter VIVIAN CHOW Daily Titan As graduation creeps up on us, most everyone is looking forward to that beautiful monolith of summer break.

Summer is a great time to relax, spend time with friends and waste away your days as you desire.

The one thing almost everyone will do is go on vacation, and that’s a mistake.

Now, I’m not talking about taking a short road trip or going camping; those are perfect summer getaways.

When I say vacation, I mean buying plane tickets, booking hotels and hitting all those tourist spots on your bucket list. Summer is not the best time to do these things; it’s actually the worst time.

The best time to travel is

during winter break, after the new year. As college students, our winter break lasts about a month. During this time, you should seek out any adventures you’ve been planning on doing for the summer.

First off, you’ll save a ton of money. January is considered a lull in the travel season.

“The last two weeks of January and the month of February offer a reprieve from the holiday crowds,” according to USA Today Travel.

All the kids will be back in school, parents will be back at work and the holiday season is officially over.

This means fewer people are traveling and many things will be cheaper than you could imagine. Airfare will be low and planes will be half empty.

Hotel rates will be miniscule and many may come with freebies like spa packages, dinner credits or room upgrades. Cruise rates are at

their lowest point, making it an extremely affordable option for college students.

You’ll also enjoy your vacation because the weather will be great. If you’re traveling somewhere tropical, the weather will always be

Students can save time and money by traveling smart

fair, but in summer, every destination will be sweltering. Who wants to spend their hard earned money just to sweat a gallon everyday?

There’s also the lovely bonus of minimal crowds during winter. You won’t be standing in ticket lines stretching out the door, leaving more time to enjoy that cool museum, fancy restaurant or expensive theme park.

What you should definitely do this summer is

Although it’s a popular time to book vacations, students should consider traveling in the winter. The low season will offer plenty of discounts, minimal crowds and comfortable weather.

stay local. Easy trips like mountain hikes, going to the beach or taking a road trip are both accessible and affordable. For some, maybe summer offers the only

opportunity to travel. Gathering everyone together for a trip is always challenging, but looking to travel during the winter break is well worth your consideration.

The next time you’re planning a vacation, keep winter break in mind and you could save a ton of time and money, while making the most of your travel activities.

Titans to end season against CSUN Softball will take on conference-leading Matadors in series JUSTIN PATUANO Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton softball team will take the momentum of winning five of their past six games into their final series of the season against Big West Conference-leading Cal State Northridge Matadors.

CSUN (40-13 overall, 15-3 Big West) clinched a share of the Big West Conference title with their win over Hawaii Saturday. A possibility of sharing the title with Long Beach State still lingers.

Freshman Zoe Conley (19-4) went the distance against Hawaii and recorded her eighth shutout of the season, allowing three hits and striking out five. She holds a 1.34 earned run average.

Sophomore Taylor Glover lined an inside-the-park home run, her sixth home run of the season. She is batting at a .387 clip.

The final run of the game came courtesy of a run batted in by sophomore catcher Katie Hooper, who went 3-for-3 at the plate.

She is batting .394 and is second in runs scored, behind Glover, with 33.

Hooper leads the team in home runs (14), RBIs (54) and slugging percentage (.745).

One win against the Titans (32-21 overall,10-8

The Cal State Fullerton softball team will close out its season with a home series against Big West-leading Cal State Northridge. If the Titans can secure a sweep, they can end the season in second place in the Big West Conference. Freshman Samantha Vandiver will also look to improve on her Big West-leading .463 batting average.

Big West), or a loss by Long Beach State clinches the title outright, something the Matadors haven’t accomplished since 1998.

Over their last six games, the Titans amassed 26 total runs, one more run than their previous seven games combined. The Titans swept Cal Poly San Luis Obispo before taking two out of three against UC Davis.

In the series against San Luis Obispo, Fullerton collected 25 hits to the

Mustangs’ 20.

Fullerton freshman Samantha Vandiver continued to impress at the plate.

Vandiver earned four hits on 10 at-bats over the series. She leads the conference in batting average, boasting a .463 clip. She is tied for second in runs scored on the team with 31.

Junior Courtney Rodriguez boasts a .406 batting average and leads the team in hits (76), runs (40) and is tied for first with Missy

Taukeiaho in RBIs (40).

Over the span of the Cal Poly series, she scored four runs with one homerun and three RBIs. She also went 3-for-3 the last game of the series.

Redshirt sophomore Cerissa Rivera (2-2) recorded two wins over the series.

She pitched a complete game in the second game.

Rivera allowed one run and three hits on 9.1 innings pitched over the series.

Sophomore Christina Washington (16-6)

recorded multiple wins over the six-game span.

The first came in a three-run victory over San Luis Obispo. In 6.2 innings pitched, Washington allowed three runs on seven hits. The second came in a phenomenal performance against UC Davis. She pitched a two-hitter, went the distance and allowed one run.

Redshirt junior Desiree Ybarra pitched five innings against the Mustangs and received the no decision.

She collected her 10th win of the season against UC Davis, pitching 3.1 innings and allowed two runs.

With a sweep against the Matadors, the Titans have a chance to move into second in the Big West, the best possible outcome for them. It won’t come easy, as the Matadors are 14-3 on the road and the Titans are 19-8 at home.

First pitch is Friday at 5 p.m. The season will end with a doubleheader starting at noon on Saturday.

Recruits to bolster women’s soccer Incoming freshmen will look to earn starting roles early RUDY CHINCHILLA Daily Titan As the spring semester comes to a close, the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team has already begun preparing for its 2015 season, which begins August 21.

In order to bolster his team and defend the side’s Big West Conference title, Head Coach Demian Brown has added eight new recruits to to the program.

Included among the new crop of fresh faces are two out-and-out midfielders, two midfielders that double as forwards, one defender who can play forward, one out-and-out defender and a goalkeeper.

Janelle Garcia will be making her way to

Fullerton from Oxnard High School, having also collected international experience along the way.

Garcia has spent time with the Mexican National Team, a feat she shares with fellow Titan Connie Caliz, who played for the under-20s squad.

Like Caliz, Garcia has speed and creativity on her side. If Garcia hopes to replace Caliz, who has shown great ability on either wing and in the center of the pitch, she’ll have to produce the goals that made her the leading scorer in her junior year of high school.

Garcia could be paired with fellow midfielder Costa Mesa native Albamaria Barrios. Barrios played four years of varsity soccer at Estacio High School and provides vision and passing ability in the center of midfield.

Her ability to pick out teammates might allow

her to make her way into the first team; since departing senior and captain Chelsey Patterson were injured midway through the 2014 season, the holding midfield spot has been up for grabs. Amanda Howard did relatively well filling the position, but after her second ACL surgery, she has been plagued with knee injuries that may see her spend extensive spells on the sideline.

Natalie Oronoz comes in as a striker and midfielder from Whittier Christian High School. Brown describes the Northridge native as “strong” and “powerful,” both words that can also characterize current redshirt senior Rebecca Wilson. If Oronoz is to bench the 15-goal Wilson, she will have to carry over the 18 goals she scored in her senior year of high school.

Paige Smith can also play up top or in midfield.

Hailing from Serrano High School, the Phelan product scored 15 goals as a freshman and captained a league-winning side to the CIF finals as a junior.

With speed and the ability to get behind defenses, Smith is similar to Christina Burkenroad. A highly skillful and creative player, Burkenroad can occasionally be wasteful in front of goal, a fact that may open up room for Smith.

Devin Spolsdoff is a rare breed who can fit into both the back and the front line.

Brown praises Spolsdoff’s speed and endurance and sees her as capable of playing in any of the wide positions on the field. This may be an indicator that the Alta Loma High School product may see minutes as a fullback.

It will be tough for Spolsdoff to unseat Jazzmin Mancilla on the left, so her best bet might be on the right. Sophomore

Dominique DeCoy has been getting looks as a right-back, but her position is far from assured, as she spent the 2014 season riding the pine behind departing Colleen Ortega.

Brooke Ligtenberg is listed as a forward, but played forward and midfield in back-to-back Hacienda League championship teams in 2014 and 2015.

Brown plans to use the Chino High School player on the left wing, where departing senior Adriana Gjonovich—who scored the game-winning goal at the Big West Tournament final—will leave a huge hole. Tala Haddad often filled in on the left, but seems more comfortable playing on the right.

Should that trend continue, Ligtenberg may find herself in the starting lineup.

Swedish native Amanda Larson is capable of playing both center-back and right-back. She’ll have to

get past Decoy and fellow signee Spolsdoff if she plans to play on the right.

Slotting in at center-back will also prove difficult, as Morgan Batcheller and Serena Smith-Banas have established a formidable partnership.

Rounding out the signees is goalkeeper Olivia Davies. At Norco High School, Davies made the Big 8 First Team AllLeague. While goalkeeper is traditionally the most difficult position in which to usurp starters, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Davies might see significant minutes.

While she regained her starting spot as the season progressed, redshirt junior goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart was initially unseated by then-freshman Morgan Bertsch. Both Stuart and Bertsch have shown susceptibility to balls over the top, which may allow Davies a crack at starting minutes.
