Corinthian Colleges Inc. was forced to shut down after a U.S. Department of Education investigation found that the for-profit college company misrepresented job placement data used to recruit students. Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership has stepped up to help redirect approximately 1200 displaced Corinthians students.

CSUF aids displaced students Campus center helping around 1200 students BREANNA VASQUEZ Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton responded to a U.S. Department of Education crisis call to assist students displaced by the closing of Corinthian Colleges. Corinthian Colleges Inc., which also operated Heald College, Everest College and WyoTech campuses, entangled itself in controversy

when a U.S. Department of Education investigation found that the company misrepresented job placement data used to recruit students. The investigation found that the Heald College system counted jobs outside of students’ fields of study, jobs that began before students

graduated and even temporary jobs — some as short as two days. The college then used these inflated numbers in promoting its programs. The for-profit college chain was fined $30 million in April and, two weeks later, closed its doors. This closure displaced around 16,000 students and left

many flooded with debt. CSUF’s Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership (C-REAL) is at the forefront of the California State University system effort to help the displaced students. C-REAL, in association with nonprofit Beyond 12 and the National Association

of Student Financial Aid Administrators, responded to the educational crisis and constructed a volunteer-based advising program to help former Corinthian students navigate their way into new platforms of educational options. SEE AID

Wartime propaganda inspires butter art

Graduate student Andrea Lee Harris McGee makes political statement through butter and goat-in4 spired art

ERICA SHARP Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton geology professor James Parham, together with paleontologist Edwin Cadena of the Senckenberg Naturmuseum in Germany, unveiled research on the oldest marine turtle found to date. The pair published their research Sept. 7 in PaleoBios, a peer-reviewed journal by the University of California Museum of Paleontology. The turtle, whose scientific name is Desmatochleys padillai, was recently found by paleontologist

Mary Luz Parra and her two brothers in two primary sites in Colombia: Loma la Cabrera and Loma la Catalina. However, Parham said that fossils of D. padallai were already found 70 years prior to the recent findings. The fossils sat in a display case in UC Berkeley. Although Parham knew about the turtle, he said he began to take genuine interest when newer and better versions of the specimen, like the ones discovered by Parra, were found. These recent specimens provided more precise location data, so the surrounding rocks’ ages could be more accurately determined, Parham said. SEE TURTLE

Turtle: Species sheds light on evolution CONTINUED FROM

“A lot of times you have specimens which are kept in collections for decades,” Parham said. “It is only when new information comes to light that you can realize the significance of them.” The turtle is from the Lower Cretaceous period, making it over 120 million years old. It is approximately 25 million years older than Santanachelys gaffneyi, recognized as the oldest known sea turtle before D. padillai. D. padillai was huge, measuring nearly 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide, which, according to Parham, was due to the warm climate and water temperatures of the Cretaceous period. Parham hopes that their research of D. padillai will spark new interest in sea turtle evolution. “They’ve just assumed that sea turtles went into the sea one time and that’s where you get all sea turtles,” Parham said. “But we

can show pretty convincingly that probably there were multiple invasions of the sea, especially (with) the turtle we describe. It is very old

but it’s very advanced.” Parham also said that it is more difficult to recognize whether different species of turtles can be

considered marine. “You are not going to mistake a sea otter for a dolphin,” said Parham. “But sea turtles, when they go

into the sea, they all start to look the same. It is a really great launching-off point to raise questions about sea turtle evolution.”

Emergency roadwork on CA-91W Two westbound 91 lanes were closed in Corona Tuesday due to the heavy rains. Both lanes were closed at 11 a.m., according to a CHP incident report. Before noon, the CHP reported that traffic was jammed up about eight miles to the McKinley Street exit. An examination of the scene suggested that the rain might have eroded the roadbed, which is dangerous to motorists, according to the Press Enterprise. The area worked on is where the Green River Drive on-ramp joins the main line. Road crews plan to rip up the concrete roadway slabs to examine the damage that occurred during the storm Wednesday till Thursday. Drivers are encouraged to carpool or to take an alternate route in order to reduce traffic on the freeway and avoid any delays. - IMANI JACKSON

A single 8-ounce sample of water taken from an out-of-service swimming pool in northern Orange County this year. These mosquito larvae are a summer breeding species that transmit West Nile virus.

Aerial spray for mosquitoes delayed Vector control district fails to obtain flight permits on time WOARIA RASHID Daily Titan Due to inability in obtaining a permit to fly over Disneyland’s “no-fly zone” and multiple inquiries and concerns from citizens, the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District (OCMVCD) canceled the aerial bug spray application scheduled to take place last week. The spraying of the aerial pesticide was scheduled for Sept. 9 and 10 in eight Orange County cities, with the aim of attacking mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus (WNV). The District is now not scheduling any further aerial action against the virus-carrying mosquitoes for the remainder of the 2015 season. Obtaining a flight permit to enter restricted Orange County airspace normally takes about five days, but the aerial contractor hired to do the spraying was not able to obtain the permit in time, OCMVD spokeswoman Mary-Joy Coburn said. Residents also wanted to hold a public hearing to discuss their concerns with

the spraying. However, the time required to schedule a hearing prior to the flight would have then delayed the spraying even further. This would have caused the District to miss the peak times for the WNV infection rate in mosquitoes, Coburn said. Disneyland’s restricted airspace occupies approximately one-third of the space OCMVCD scheduled to cover, Coburn said. The Federal Aviation Administration noted in a 2014 advisory that Disneyland airspace, which extends to three miles above the surface, is “national defense airspace” and all aircraft flight operations, including remote-controlled, are prohibited. “The sole and exclusive motivation for seeking these restrictions is for the safety and enjoyment of our guests,” said ex-Disney executive vice president of public affairs Leslie Goodman in a 2003 article published in the Orlando Sentinel. Typically, mosquito season peaks during the summer since the insects thrive in hot, humid conditions. But in Southern California the weather can be warm year-round, which occurred last year, compounding the WNV-mosquito problem.

The risk of people being bitten by adult mosquitoes is high, according to the OCMVCD. The total number of reported human cases of West Nile in Orange County for 2015 reached 18, with no deaths as of Monday, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency. Thirteen patients were infected with West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease, a more severe variant of the virus that enters the central nervous system, four with West Nile fever and one with an asymptomatic infection. Last year was the worst on record for Orange County; the epidemic resulted in 280 people being infected and nine dying. “It’s both parts: the mosquitoes and the people being at the same place at the same time. And that usually happens in the summer when people are outdoors longer,” Coburn said. There are no medications to treat West Nile, according to Coburn. OCMVCD advises the public to wear protective clothing, apply mosquito repellant to prevent bites, dump stagnant water where mosquitoes breed, and ensure that screen doors are in good repair to not allow mosquitoes into the home.

Craig Tanber, 37, has been charged with stabbing a man to death outside of a bar in Laguna Niguel last week. After the attack, Tanber fled and was later discovered in a motel on Sept. 12. Upon discovering where Tanber was hiding, Orange County Sheriff SWAT officers surrounded the motel and Tanber put under arrest. Tanber is currently in the Orange County Jail facing 76 years to life in state prison, the OC Register said. Tanber has a history of violence, including a parole for the murder of a 26-year-old from Laguna Niguel in 2004, who was found dead in a pickup truck bed. Though Tanber is a white supremacist gang member, last week’s stabbing is not considered a hate crime. - KALEB STEWART

Aid: CSUF assists student relocation CONTINUED FROM

Dawn Person, Ed.D., and CSUF graduate students Giovanni Rodriguez and Jahvry Bailous are directing the volunteer effort. “Our goal is to have them continue on into their educational journey,” Rodriguez said. The Corinthian College recruitment process allegedly targeted individuals who had annual incomes near the federal poverty line, the civil complaint, filed by California Attorney General Kamala Harris, said. Corinthian Colleges described this demographic in internal documents as “isolated,” having “low self-esteem,” “stuck” and “unable to see and plan well for the future,” the complaint said.

Students who were once attracted by the promise of job placement now find themselves frustrated with the educational system and at the mercy of their debt. “When creating the program, Dr. Person, Giovanni and myself wanted to make sure we were providing students with quality service and information, as well as being understanding to the students who are frustrated,” Bailous said via e-mail. C-REAL assesses students’ needs and directs students to community colleges, state-funded vocational schools or to their local job opportunity center, Rodriguez said. “I hope the program continues to provide students with quality service and information to help further their

educational goals. As well as continue to grow in terms of how many students we are reaching across the country (sic),” Bailous said in an e-mail. Close to 1,200 students have reached out for advisement and so far, CSUF educational leaders have provided training for 25 volunteers. In order to adequately serve the frustrated students, the volunteers have set a 36-hour response goal. “From my perspective as an educational leader, it was so nice to be involved in something where we were doing work that we all had been educated to do, and that is work for the public good,” Person said. Corinthian students can reach out for advisement by signing up online at the Next Steps EDU website.

After his older brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia, Michael Willis decided he wanted to dedicate his time helping people. “It was one thing that helped me to be really motivated to help people that have disabilities. I always heard about skid row in high school and I had never been there before,” Willis said when speaking about how his brother’s disability influenced him. “I feel like everybody deserves an equal opportunity.” Willis graduated last spring from Cal State Fullerton with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a minor in psychology.

this was going on, I tried to find different ways … where I could possibly help somehow.” With the aim of helping disabled people in mind, Willis began volunteering with the Special Olympics. He took some of the lessons he learned there into Serve the Way. Serve the Way has helped the Special Olympics, Monday Night Mission, Blind Start of America, Los Angeles Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Festival of Children and neighborhood housing services for LA County. “Whenever I come in contact with people who are interested in us … I always ask them what they’re passionate about because they want to help support, and that helps me look for these events,” Willis said. In the future, Willis hopes to see Serve the Way become a registered nonprofit organization with one specific cause. Willis also hopes to later become a director of community relations for a sports team.

volunteer efforts through community engagement. “My friend Matthew Slagle messaged me the day after Thanksgiving of last year over Facebook saying ‘Why don’t we just start our own nonprofit now?’” Willis said. “It didn’t really occur to me before to do it now.” Serve the Way started with 10 members and has continuously grown to over 200 volunteers since its inception in November 2014. Serve the Way helps charities three times each month and gives college students the opportunity to volunteer their time serving communities in Los Angeles and Orange County. Volunteer opportunities are also open to the public.

Goat art speaks through humor Andrea Lee Harris McGee inspires with goats and butter HAYLEY SLYE Daily Titan There are goats in the Cal State Fullerton West Gallery and they have a penchant for butter. The goats are the work of graduate student Andrea Lee Harris McGee as part of her exhibition, “You’re Better with Butter.” The exhibition, which includes a butter sculpture of a goat, was inspired partly by the research she did for her thesis on wartime propaganda. During war, people were told not to eat butter as a sacrifice, McGee said. “There became this whole underlying presence in my thesis about how artists were representing butter during these struggles, this strife,” McGee said. Shane Shukis, Ph.D., teaches the Master of Fine Arts thesis course at CSUF and assisted McGee in the organization, preparation and writing of her thesis. He said that in her thesis, butter became a “culturally rich” representation of the ways state agencies have attempted to control opinion. “It’s really clear that she feels that artists occupy a special and sacred place, culturally and socially, as people who do not accept the standard definition of the social good,” Shukis said. As for the goats, McGee said they represented many things to her. She’s partial to them because her grandmother lived on a goat farm in

Norway, but also because their reputation for being gregarious tricksters made them ideal for communicating tough issues through humor. “Goats do have a long - I mean going back to Greek times - history of being code-switchers, trickster figures, destabilizing social order,” Shukis said. Prior to pursuing a master’s degree, Bay Area native McGee worked for CSUF as director of the Grand Central Art Center from 1998 until 2008, and then became director of the Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion at Orange Coast College for four years. “I was busy and happy, and it was a creative outlet for me because I was helping other artists, but I always wanted to go back to school and do that for myself,” she said. Aided by the encouragement of her family, McGee has been simultaneously working full-time and chipping away at her master’s degree for three-and-a-half years. “Sometimes I feel like it’s a selfish act to be able to take over a gallery and to show all your work and be able to say, ‘this is what I made,’ but it’s also this sense of great closure and pride,” McGee said. In terms of what people should take away from her exhibition, McGee wants people to reach out more often and try to make a difference everyday. She encouraged the viewer to think and care about the animals and people that coexist on Earth. Beyond that, she wants the viewer to form their own unique opinions. “I want to be a unique individual and I want you to

“She wants the viewer, the spectator, the audience for her art, to take nothing she says on its surface

value; but to question it, to interrogate it and to accept it if it’s agreeable to their terms of self and

autonomy,” Shukis said. McGee’s exhibition can be viewed at the CSUF West Gallery until Sept. 17.

Students study comedy abroad JENNIE VU Daily Titan Eight Cal State Fullerton students got the chance of a lifetime to spend three weeks in Turin, Italy to study comedy this past summer. The group was comprised of Kyle Anderson, Katie Devoe-Peterson, Samantha Emeahara, Megan Kappelhoff, Christina Morris, Heidi Palomino, Kyle Pazdel and Karina Pennett. These Titans joined other CSU students in a threeweek program, “Commedia dell’Arte in Italy: The Art & Craft of Physical Comedy,” to study the history and forms of comedy such as mime, clown, acro-yoga, acrobatics, pantomime and more. The students learned about the program through their professor, Evelyn Carol Case, who accompanied them on the trip. Case has been involved with the summer arts program since 2003 as a guest artist and also teaches workshops. This was the first year the theater program

was open to all students internationally. Students were able to attend classes at the Atelier Teatro Fisico, a physical comedy university in Italy focusing on a variety of comedic styles. They were able to gain hands-on experience, rath-

The only time they ever sat down in a classroom was for a lecture on the history of clowning; everything else was on-themove, 21-year-old theater major Christina Morris said. “Literally everyday we’re just going and going and going,” said Megan Kappelhoff, 19, also a theater major. “Everyday we’re just doing physicalities, like moving so much and you were so sore when you woke up the next morning, but yet you do another day of training.” Students also had the chance to work with professionals who were once clowns and mimes.

The second half was acro-yoga, where they practiced various movements. “One day, all of the class was standing on one side of the room, with their hands out and there’s one person (on the other side) who had to run and jump on top of the group, and we had to lift the person up,” Emeahara said. After spending 10 hours a day doing various physical activities, the students had earned their weekends off to explore the city and meet new people.

Italy, but they got the chance to explore the dynamic culture behind comedy while honing their comedic chops. The experience taught Pennett that everyone should take the opportunity to travel if they get the chance. Theater arts summer programs like this one are open to all students, not

just theater arts majors. The application process is the same: all applicants must write a letter of intent on why they’re interested and how it will benefit them as an artist and an individual. This program allows students to expand their scope of learning. For more information on the program, visit the CSU Summer Arts website.

Professor reflects on her music DANIELLE ORTENZIO Daily Titan Füreya Ünal, a distinguished pianist and faculty member at Cal State Fullerton, modestly discussed her music career, as well as her passion for creating vibrant music for all to enjoy. “You’re just vibrating,” Ünal said of being onstage. “Your whole body is vibrating with this sound. It’s just such a great experience, in

my opinion.” Ünal began piano lessons at the age of three-and-ahalf. By the time she was 5-years-old, she began a formal music education at Istanbul University State Conservatory. She graduated from the Istanbul University State Conservatory in 1996, where she went on to perform piano recitals with musicians such as State Artist Hüseyin Sermet and French pianist Eric Le Sage. In 1999, Ünal received a full scholarship from the Turkish Educational Foundation, granting her the opportunity to study in Germany.

After finishing her studies, Ünal accepted a position as a member of the

and teach master classes both in Europe and in the United States. Ünal has performed in places such as Monaco, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and Bulgaria. Ünal founded the Divan Consort, a Los Angeles-based ensemble and has been steadily working on releasing their second album by early next year. Its first album, “Refuge,” was released by Albany Records in 2014. This collection claimed the Gold Medal in the Album category and the Silver Medal in Composition

category by Global Music Awards. Ünal said she can’t say there is one specific achievement she is most proud of, having collaborated with so many musicians around the globe. “It’s just about the music,” Ünal said. “The joy of playing this piece. It is something I share as a group.” Ünal’s high level of ambition means she is always looking for the next project. “I don’t think that this is it, that this is the highest level I can get to from here,” Unal said. “This is done, now, what do we do next?” Aside from working on

its second album, the Divan Consort is focusing on performing concerts for audiences around the world. The piano duo featuring Ünal and Judy Huang set for Friday, Sept. 11th, was canceled due to personal reasons, but Ünal hoped to reschedule for a future date in the spring. As for now, Ünal is staying focused on the world of music. Her mind is set on two things: creating and performing. “I’m just working on more projects all the time, giving concerts and having CDs out,” she said.

Performance looks at matters of the heart CSUF theater season opens with show on music and memories ERICA SHARP Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s College of the Arts will perform its season opener, “Dancing at Lughnasa,” on Friday, Sept. 25 in the Hallberg Theater. Written by Brian Friel, “Dancing at Lughnasa” takes place in post-industrial Ireland, set in the summer of 1936 during a time where Catholicism was

the predominant force in Europe. The play follows the journey of the five sisters with the last name Mundy: Kate, Maggie, Rose, Agnes and Chris, all of whom live together and raise Chris’ son, Michael, the narrator, in the fictional town of Ballybeg. Sarah Ripper, directing graduate student, professor and director of “Dancing at Lughnasa,” said it’s a memory play audiences can relate to. “We all have memories and I feel like we all have connections to special people, whether it be family members or friends, and it is

also that connection to music,” Ripper said. “Sometimes you may hear a song and it reminds you of someone, or a moment, and I think that’s something every audience member can identify with.” The value of family acts as central element of the play, said Karina Pennett, an acting major playing the role of Chris. “It’s about family … but it’s also about heartbreak … But you can still be happy when you have family,” Pennett said. “It’s very atypical (the Mundy family), but at the same time we are so close and we help each other

out so much. The play is all about our relationships and how we grow and find ways to help each other and fight each other.” Dance is another important component that acts as a way for characters to break free, Autumn Paramore, a BFA acting student who is playing the role of Maggie, said. “As you see the show, you’ll notice that each character has their own specific relationship with dance, very specific, but how it kind of has the same result for everyone,” she said. “It takes you away from the world that you are in. It makes you

smile and makes you happy and then when it’s gone, you don’t know what to do again.” Like dance, music and radio has major significance in “Dancing at Lughnasa,” Ripper said. “The music actually takes us into the atmosphere of the play. Right away, you get a sense of time, place and memory and also the longing for music that these characters have because of the radio,” Ripper said. “The radio is fickle: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t work, and these women long for that music, that connection, so these women are

anticipating when the radio will work and … connect to that fantasy world.” It is an empowering show that has depth beyond the stage, Paramore said. “It’s touching, it’s to the heart, to the soul, to the body, to the mind. It’s everything,” Paramore said. “Dancing at Lughnasa” runs from Sept. 25 to Oct. 18. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office or online at the CSUF College of the Arts website for $14 general admission or $12 for students and faculty.

Apple starting to put user needs first

Newer iPhones may allow pre-installed apps to be deleted JESSICA BUTALLA Daily Titan

Most iPhone users share frustration toward the pre-installed apps on their phones that they cannot delete. These apps take up much-needed space that could be used for more desirable purposes. It is about time that Apple recognized this frustration. IPhone users should be allowed the freedom to customize their individual devices. These apps, like Stocks, Tips and iBooks, often go tucked away in a folder made by the user and are almost never used, but must remain on the phone taking up space. During a recent interview with Buzzfeed, Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted at the possibility of allowing the deletion of these apps. “It’s not that we want to suck up your real estate; we’re not motivated to do that,” Cook said. “We want you to be happy. So I recognize that some people want to do this, and it’s something we’re looking at.” IPhone users will be happy when they finally have the ability to delete any and all apps from they deem useless.

Many of the native apps that come pre-installed on iPhones go unused, but users are unable to delete them. The space used to store those apps could be better used for games, music or photos. After long-running frustration toward the native apps, Apple CEO Tim Cook is addressing this concern.

Lower-end 16GB iPhones only contain about 12GB of capacity due to the space filled by native apps. With some larger apps taking up as much as 1GB or more, extra storage is in high demand among iPhone users. Deleting these apps, however, raises some complex issues,

said Cook. Some iPhone apps are linked to one another. If removed, the apps might cause issues in other areas in the phone. The linkages do make sense. How would Siri bring up the forecast without the Weather app? Where would the data come from?

Apple has proven time and time again that they are a front-running pioneer in mobile technology. So with all of their advancements, there must be a way around these linkages. There are other native apps, like Compass, that do not have this linkage problem and have

no connection to anything else on the iPhone. “So over time, I think with the ones that aren’t like that, we’ll figure out a way (for you to remove them),” Cook said. Cook also talked about iOS 9, which will feature a voice-activated Siri, during his Buzzfeed interview.

This feature sparked privacy concerns since Siri will be constantly listening. However, Apple is letting users decide if they want the new feature to be on or off. It appears that user happiness is on Apple’s mind after all.

CNN should be firm with GOP candidates Stage is set for 2nd GOP debate and expectations are high DAVID LEOS Daily Titan Set to take place on prime time at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California, the second round of Republican debates are sure to be engaging, if CNN does its job right. Fox News was lauded for its coverage of the first GOP debate and for its interactions with the candidates, so there are some big shoes for CNN to fill. Carly Fiorina wasn’t able to grace the stage with the likes of billionaire Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Ben Carson, Ph.D., in the first debate. Fox relegated her to the undercard debate, which

was broadcast in front of an empty-seated Quicken Loans Arena while half the nation was still at work or on their way home. Fiorina has since jumped sharply in the polls, prompting CNN to wisely amend their rules of inclusion. “CNN re-evaluated its criteria and decided to add a provision that better reflects the state of the race since the first Republican presidential debate in August,” the network said. A wise move for CNN, considering the high ratings this debate will surely yield with Fiorina on board. Now is the time for CNN to drive the issues home with direct questions and not allow the candidates to control the conversation. Last week, Trump made headlines by publicly critiquing Fiorina’s appearance. “Look at that face! Would anybody vote for that?,” the

GOP frontrunner said. He also claimed that the sound of her voice makes his head hurt. Trump has been unwavering in his sexist arrogance towards women as well as his negative attitude about minorities, with little repercussion from the male-dominated GOP field. As a woman and Republican, Fiorina will finally have an opportunity to publicly torch Trump’s rampant misogyny. The question is whether or not debate moderator and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper will hand her the match. Another dramatic political feud that CNN has the opportunity to rekindle Wednesday is the rift between US Senator Rand Paul and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie over the NSA surveillance program. Citing ‘national security’ as his impetus for the invasive program, Christie said during the last debate, “I’m the only

person on this stage who’s actually filed applications under the Patriot Act … who has prosecuted, investigated and jailed terrorists in this country after September 11th.” Paul took exception to this claim saying emphatically, “I want to collect more records from terrorists, but less records from innocent Americans.” It’s a chicken or egg argument that promises to be a lot of fun if Tapper provides the proper provocation. Tapper made no bones to his media friends yesterday about how tough and provocative his questions will be. “We want them to be disagreeing with each other. This is a real dogfight, this Republican presidential contest,” he said to the Huffington Post. This will likely be the most watched debate in history, whether or not CNN can help it live up to the hype remains to be seen.

Snapchat losing its roots with paid replays New feature allows social media users to pay to replay snaps DAISY CARLOS Daily Titan Snapchat, the popular photo and video-sharing app available on iOS and Android devices, reported yesterday that they planned to provide users with the option of purchasing additional ‘snap replays.’ Services will begin at $0.99, providing users with three replays which can be used on any ‘snap.’ “A Replay is like a compliment! So why stop at just one?” said Team Snapchat on their blog Tuesday. This goes against the idea that Snapchat users have come to know and love. The very essence of the app is to share a snap — seen only once. Snapchat allows users to share pictures and videos of 10 seconds or less. When a snap is replayed or taken a screenshot of, a notification is sent to the owner of the action. The official company

website reported that “60 percent U.S. 13 to 34 yearold smartphone users are snapchatters.” But what is it about Snapchat that makes it so appealing? The disappearing-image feature, the most attractive aspect of the app, is arguably the reason the company brings in “nearly 100 million active daily snapchatters.” Co-founded by Evan Spiegal and Bobby Murphy in Los Angeles, Snapchat–formerly known as Picaboo–originally launched in the App Store in 2011, thriving and becoming an integral part of many smartphone users’ app collections. The app was meant to share a glimpse of users’ daily lives with others. Snapchat is arguably so appealing to its users because of the sense of security it gives. The app users are more inclined to send embarrassing or risqué pictures knowing recipients are unable to replay or save them. “We still can’t see any of the snaps sent through our service,” Spiegal said on Snapchat’s blog. “But we have tweets, emails and

Snapchat-tagged photos on Instagram to keep us tuned in to what our creative users are doing.” The Snapchat co-owners recognized the intended use of the app and in earlier blog posts encouraged their users to use the space to be “funny, honest or whatever else you feel like at the moment you take and share a Snap.” Offering additional replays for a nominal fee goes against the very thing that made Snapchat unique and appealing to its users to begin with. Providing replays to users will discourage them from being honest and funny. If shared images and videos ceased to only be snaps into daily life, Snapchat would have philosophically changed. In their latest announcement, Team Snapchat recognized the hefty price for a feature that went against the original philosophy of the company, yet reassured users that it was worth every penny. “They’re a little pricy,” Team Snapchat shared in regard to the cost of replays. “But time is money!”

Athletic trainers use health center resources to demonstrate how to use an ultrasound on an arm. CSUF trainers play an integral role in an athlete’s recovering process.

Healing: Helping all kinds of injuries 1

“Anything that does not allow the athlete to compete (at) 100% comes into this clinic,” Max said. The team of athletic trainers at CSUF is constantly utilizing their health center resources to diagnose injuries and provide for athletes’ needs. “We see (athletes) first, we assess them, we make a diagnosis and if we need to move on and get further health care assistance, then that’s what we do,” Max said. “Everything starts here and then we triage to figure out, ‘What do we need to be in the best interest of the student athlete?’” Last fall, women’s soccer player Ali White geared up for Big West Conference play, but a season-ending injury forced her to

hang up her cleats. She received firsthand experience with the team of athletic trainers. After tearing her ACL and meniscus, White’s trainer immediately scheduled her for doctor appointments, including one with CSUF’s orthopedic surgeon, Miguel Prietto, who started White on physical therapy right away. “They were just very involved … it was cool,” White said. But dealing with an injury brings on more than just physical strain for players. “You definitely tell yourself … ’was this meant to happen? Am I not supposed to play soccer anymore?’ … You just beat yourself down,” said White. In her kinesiology class, Max poses the question, “How do we deal with the

psychological and sociological effect of student athletes that get hurt?” “Physically I know what to do with them. I know

“

You definitely tell yourself, ‘Was this meant to happen? Am I not supposed to play soccer anymore?

ALI WHITE CSUF women’s soccer player how to take care of them, I know how to treat them, I know how to rehab them,” explained Max. Providing a service to psychologically help students get through the injury phase is another element that they incorporate. With this being her first major injury since she

began playing soccer at 5 years old, White experienced mental strain firsthand following her accident last fall. “I feel like I became kind of disconnected,” White said. With the team practicing five days a week and White away at physical therapy, the mental aspect of recovery began to set in. With the encouragement of her physical therapists and fellow players, White quickly realized that the soccer field is where she is meant to be, and she will be returning this season as a junior. “I’m so excited. I’m really pumped,” White said. “I’m just going to go out there — I’m really proud of myself — I’m gonna be out there accomplishing something that wasn’t possible five months ago.”

Women’s golf opens season in the rough Titans finished in 16th after the second day in Alburquerque, NM RYAN PORTER Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s golf team returned to the links Tuesday for the final round of the Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque. Overall, CSUF improved its play in the third round but failed to climb any higher on the scoreboard.

Following her stellar performance yesterday, CSUF’s Martina Edberg fell short of par on the last round of play. The junior hit one birdie on the fourth hole to record a 1-over-par on the front nine. The back nine, however, held the most trouble for the Swedish native. Starting her day on the 13th hole, Edberg notched two bogeys on the 15th and 17th hole to bring her to 2-over-par. The format of the invitational left Edberg ending her round on the 11th and 12th hole, which

she bogeyed, leaving her 5-over-par. A single birdie on her last day did not help her team, as she bogeyed on six holes throughout the final round. In total, she shot 5-over par 78 in one round on the last day, as opposed to back-toback shooting 4-under par 142 in the first two rounds yesterday. Although Edberg was not able to give the Titans an edge, her teammates were able to make up for any slack. Felicia Medalla ended the tournament on a high note,

as she was the only Titan to shoot under par during the final round. She remained consistent throughout the entire front nine, hitting birdies on the fourth and seventh holes. She did not bogey once as she sank pars on seven holes to end the front nine 2-under-par. Like Edberg before her, Medalla slowed down a bit in the back nine, shooting consecutive bogeys on the 12th and 13th holes. She bounced right back with birdies on the 14th and 16th holes to even her score. Medalla greatly improved

from her performance of 14over par 160 in the first two rounds during the first day of the invitational. She shot 2-under par 71 during the final round, helping the Titans stay out of last place. Brittany Farrell also improved her score on day two. She started off strong with a birdie on the first hole of the day. She would, however, bogey the very next hole, upsetting her solid start. She would go on to bogey once more on the 5th hole to shoot 1-over par on the front nine.

It seemed as though her luck ran out after the first hole, as she sank three more bogeys in the 11th, 12th and 15th holes. Regardless of shooting 4-overpar 77, she was able to shave off five from her 9-over-par 126 over two rounds on the first day. As a team, the Titans achieved 16-over par 308 in the third round of play. They finished 16th place with a 52over par 928 overall. The Titans return for their second tournament of the season on Sept. 21 in the Cougar Cup in Pullman, Washington.
