CSUF honors Alan Emery

Volume 99 Issue 1 INSTRAGRAM & TWITTER @THEDAILYTITAN

CSUF welcomes three newly appointed deans

Professor passed away this past December JILLIAN SALAS Daily Titan Associate professor of sociology, Alan Emery, Ph.D., whose teachings span from political, urban and theoretical sociology, died in December at the age of 51. Emery, a native of South Africa, was exposed to apartheid for most of his childhood and young adult life, according to the CSUF News Center. Raised by a black nanny and later conscripted in the South African Army, he witnessed oppressed black women take care of the white dominant families and saw his country’s military force defend ethnocentrism. “I was a part of a regime whose ideas were in conflict with my own,” he said in an interview with CSUF News Center in 2006. Emery received his bachelor’s degree in political science, as well as his master’s and doctorate degrees in sociology from UCLA. In 2002, he became a faculty member at CSUF During his tenure, Emery encouraged students to compare outside political and social systems to their own. His aim was to encourage students “to become critical consumers of political information,” according to the 2006 interview. He also taught inclass and online courses focused on sex and gender, as well as organizational sociology. “I was privileged to get to know professor Emery as an undergraduate and graduate student at CSUF,” said Whitney Youngren, a sociology professor. “My first contact with him was when I was in his SOC410 (Theories of Social Behavior) class. He was an amazing professor and a transformative mentor.” Youngren now teaches that same class. “Alan was dearly loved by students and peers for his intellectualism, humor and good nature,” said Eileen Walsh, Ph.D., associate professor of sociology and chair of the sociology department. “He was generous with his time and dedicated to bringing an understanding of social theory to applications of global and social problems.” SEE EMERY

New deans eager to further enrichen CSUF’s academics VIVIAN PHAM Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton colleges of Health and Human Development, Communications and Natural Sciences and Mathematics have hired new deans. Laurie Roades, Ph.D., was appointed dean of the College of Health and Human Development; Scott Paynton, Ph.D., became dean of the College of Communications; and Marie Johnson Ph.D., assumed the position as dean of the

College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Laurie Roades, Ph.D. Roades began her role as dean of the College of Health and Human Development on Jan. 4. She previously worked at Cal Poly Pomona for 20 years, where she served as associate dean for academic personnel and resources in the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences. “When I saw that this position was open, it was in an area where I was in a

really good field,” Roades said. “The more I looked at the campus and the more I looked at the College of Health and Human Development, the more excited I got about the possibility of joining the college and the university and being a part of what’s happening here.” Roades earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She is also a licensed clinical psychologist who has done research in gerontology, neuropsychology and diversity

in mental health. Roades believes that her research in the aforementioned areas will “help facilitate the success of other people,” she said. “I really look forward to working, and I’m already enjoying working with the faculty, staff and other administrators on this campus. This is a really strong campus and this is a really strong college in terms of health and human development,” Roades said. Roades succeeds C. Jessie Jones, Ph.D., professor of health science, who

had been serving as interim dean for the College of Health and Human Development. Scott Paynton, Ph.D. Paynton will begin his role as dean of the College of Communications on Feb. 22. He is currently the associate dean of the College of the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Humboldt State University and will hold that position until Feb. 5. SEE DEAN

Graduates create textbook site Titan Texty seeks to improve student resale transactions VERONICA FELIPE Daily Titan During his freshman year at Cal State Fullerton, Chase Dimond felt the sting of textbook prices for the first time. “I was going to the Mihaylo School of Business and textbook prices were killing me,” Dimond said. “It was really, really hard to buy anything else, to be honest, while I had to buy textbooks.” After the semester ended, he hoped to make some of his money back through the Titan Shop’s buyback program. “I budgeted a certain amount, not ever thinking that textbooks from the bookstore were going to be so expensive, and I ended up spending that semester, I think, $580, almost $600,” Dimond said. “When I went to sell them back to the bookstore … I think they gave me $75 for all my books.”

PATRICK DO / DAILY TITAN

Between January 1977 and June 2015, the textbook prices have increased by 1,041 percent, which is more than three times the inflation rate, according to NBC’s review of Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

To his surprise, he soon realized that even online sites, such as Amazon and Chegg, bought back books at low rates. “I was really struggling to

find a better alternative,” Dimond said. “I was like ‘Hey, I paid for all these books. I spent $600. I would like to get at least $200 or $300 back.’” So he began to research a

better way for students to buy and sell textbooks. Through some friends at San Diego State University, he heard of SDTexty, a textbook exchange site made for students to post

their used books and directly sell to other students at a lower cost than they would get at the bookstore. SEE SITE

Deans: CSUF welcomes new administrative faculty CONTINUED FROM

“I’ve had really incredible opportunities over the years to have fantastic mentors in terms of leadership at the faculty level and at the administrative level … It’s been hugely advantageous for me and I feel lucky to have been (at HSU) for this long,” Paynton said. Besides the faculty, staff and students, two factors that drew Paynton to CSUF were the “pre-eminence of learning that’s part of the mission for Fullerton” and “the goal of the leadership to make it a model comprehensive university in the nation,” he said. After getting acquainted with the college and its members, Paynton hopes to “continue to strengthen connections and collaborations that are already in place as well as look for new opportunities to build collaborations across campus and out into the community.” Paynton also seeks to align the college’s strategic planning goals with both the campus’

strategic plan and the Academic Master Plan that is being created. Paynton earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Cal State San Bernardino, a master’s degree in human communication studies from Cal State Chico, and a doctorate in communication from Southern Illinois University. Paynton will succeed Irene Matz, Ph.D., who has served as interim dean since June 2014. Marie Johnson, Ph.D.

Johnson will become dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics on July 1. Johnson, a geologist, is an environmental program director at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. She has taught at the academy for 21 years. “I believe education can change lives; I believe education can change societies. I like being around college because that’s a beautiful mission,”

Johnson said. “I’m looking for change and professional growth and I believe Cal State Fullerton is the kind of school I can believe in.” Johnson hopes to take the leadership skills she’s acquired from West Point into her role as dean. “Being a researcher, being a teacher and becoming an administrative leader … if you put those three together, I think that’s the kind of background a dean should bring to the table,” Johnson said. Before working at West Point, Johnson was a research scientist for five years at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. She received her bachelor’s degree in geology from Harvard College, and earned her master’s degree and doctorate in geology from Brown University. Johnson will succeed David D. Bowman, Ph.D., interim dean and professor of geological sciences.

Garden Grove police sent out an advisory Saturday asking the public to aid in their investigation of a series of gang-related shootings, according to the OC Register.

They reportedly obtained tools that allowed them to cut through their cell bars and prison’s plumbing enabling them to escape through the roof. Authorities are currently searching for the three escapees and have warned the public that they may be armed and dangerous. A combined reward of $50,000 is being offered by the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service for any information on the escapees. - Jason Rochlin

New planet possibly discovered California Institute of Technology (Caltech) researchers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown have found evidence of a possible ninth planet in the solar system, currently dubbed Planet Nine, according to CNN. The new planet has yet to actually be seen, but research on orbital patterns and mathematical modeling of objects in the Kuiper Belt strongly suggest Planet Nine’s existence. The planet has 10 times the mass of Earth and is 20 times further from the Sun than Neptune, according to Caltech. Brown believes that the size of Planet Nine would prevent it from having a similar fate to Pluto, which was demoted to being a dwarf planet in 2006. - Jason Rochlin

City to discuss CollegeTown CLAYTON WONG Daily Titan Neighbors United For Fullerton (NUFF), a nonprofit community organization, will hold a free public forum regarding the CollegeTown Specific Plan on Jan. 25. Fullerton director of community development Karen Haluza, planning project manager Heather Allen and representatives from Cal State Fullerton

and Hope International University will outline the CollegeTown zoning details for community members at the forum. CollegeTown is a proposed area of over 70 acres dedicated to housing, commerce and university-related facilities, according to the City of Fullerton’s website. “All of the land is in either private ownership or under the state of California through Cal State Fullerton,” Haluza said. “The city doesn’t own any property in the specific planned area.” The area has been in the works since 2008, is bordered by Nutwood Avenue, Chapman Avenue, State

Paden, a Fullerton native and former member of the city’s planning commission, helps organize a group called Our Town Not College Town, which aims to oppose the plan.

“If you close Nutwood, then those cars that are going through Nutwood are now either going to have to go down Yorba Linda or Chapman,” Paden said. “That’s another 3,000 cars per day on those two streets, so it’s not built to accommodate the traffic that’s already there.” The plan currently outlines the creation of a parking district, incorporating CSUF, HIU and the surrounding neighborhoods, Haluza said. The plan also suggests funding mechanisms to address traffic concerns, Haluza said. Suggestions include creating a business

improvement district or traffic impact fees. “Those would be paid for by the private developers or the state if they are developing the parcel that they own south of Nutwood,” Haluza said. “Public improvements would be funded by the folks doing private development.” The plan is scheduled to be reviewed by the planning commission Feb. 10, following a public hearing, Haluza said.

Student gives back to children

CSUF volunteer helps people unleash their inner child BRANDON ROSS Daily Titan

Taking sips of unsweetened Kool-Aid with a little girl one minute and settling down to comfort a teenage boy the next, that is the life of Community Connection volunteer and Cal State Fullerton student Vanessa Acevedo. Acevedo, 21, a mathematics major, has been with the Volunteer Services group at CSUF for more than three years and was given the role of project director for the organization, along with three other students. Community Connection is an organization based in Orange that gives children from endangered homes a safe place to go during the day. The children’s ages range from infancy to 18. Prior to her involvement with Community Connection, Acevedo volunteered at blood drives and with Coast to Coast Foundation, an organization which helps provide food and shelter for the homeless. “We play games with the children,” Acevedo said. “Our goal is to make sure no kid is by themselves. We just want to show them how to have fun.” Duck-duck-goose, basketball, checkers, tag, and a good, old-fashioned board game such as Monopoly are some of the games and activities the children get to do on a daily basis with Acevedo, and she loves it. Wanting something else to do outside of school, she sought out a platform to help people by volunteering. Acevedo said her biggest role model is her father. “He would push me super hard and told me I could do anything,” she said. Acevedo describes herself as a “military child” who moved all over Southern California to meet the demands of her father’s job in the Marines. He also served in Iraq and Afghanistan for seven years, she said. Her parents’ constant change of location means she does not get to be around her family often. “She sees her parents twice a year,” said Cynthia Montez, a political science major at CSUF and Acevedo’s friend. “For Vanessa, her friends are her family.” In order to get ready for

the evening’s activities at Community Connection, Acevedo and her fellow volunteers make sure they come into the night with a game plan. “We brought snacks and encouraged the kids to play outside,” Acevedo said. “It was a sports-themed day. We had the majority of Cal State Fullerton’s club baseball team come to our event.” Vanessa Guizar, a CSUF kinesiology major, has been Acevedo’s friend and colleague for the past three years. As a fellow project director at Community Connection, she has worked with Acevedo since they both enrolled at CSUF. “She has a big heart and she loves working with kids,” Guizar said. Acevedo said working at Community Connection has given her memories that will last a lifetime, including a memory of helping a teenager feel more comfortable during a difficult time in his life. “This 17-year-old kid would always come to me,” Acevedo said. “He felt safe with me and I’m glad I was able to make him feel supported.” Acevedo has picked up

several hobbies throughout her life. She enjoys rap music, thrift shopping, hiking and driving to places such as Los Angeles and San Diego. What she loves most of all, however, is art. In her spare time, she is often spotted at art shows in LA. “I love modern and Renaissance art,” Acevedo said. “Pablo Picasso is my favorite. He can express emotion very well.” Her love of art sparked her desire to travel to Argentina and Greece to experience their artistic cultures. Acevedo also works to apply her passion for art in volunteer work at Community Connection. During arts and crafts activities she loves to paint and be creative. She hopes that using her imagination will inspire kids to use theirs as well. “The crafts are definitely the most exciting for me,” Acevedo said. At the end of each night, all of the volunteers come together to reflect on the experience of volunteering that day. The club baseball team members loved the fact they got to bring out their inner child.

PATRICK DO/ DAILY TITAN

On a daily basis, Acevedo helps entertain children through games and arts and crafts activities. She channels her passion for modern and Renaissance art when interacting with children.

That is what Acevedo wants more than anything in the world: for her kids and her fellow volunteers

to have fun. “They all get to bring out their inner child,” Acevedo said.

Now in her senior year, Acevedo hopes to continue her volunteer work when she graduates.

Imagine all the Facebook posts about selling textbooks placed onto a site that interacts like Amazon, with students looking to sell their textbooks listing the book’s information, including what class they used it for, so other students can easily find that book. Since every seller on the site is a student, there is no shipping option; students meet on campus and exchange the agreed-upon price for the textbook. SDTexty turned out to be what Dimond was looking for. “It was literally the exact same thing I wanted to do at Fullerton,” Dimond said. “I was like ‘Oh my God, we have to bring this to Fullerton, we have to do this, we have to be a part of this.’ And I’m so passionate about this. I don’t even care if this doesn’t benefit me right now, this needs to help other students.” SDTexty was created by Ryan Heimpel, an SDSU graduate who went through his own textbook nightmare. “The idea came when, like any other student, I had bought a book for $80. When I went to sell it back to the bookstore at one of those buyback tents they put up at the end of the semester, they gave me $10 or $15 for it, so I was like ‘Okay that kind of sucks, but so be it,’” Heimpel said. “The following semester I’m back in the bookstore and I’m shopping around for books I need for that semester, and I go by the same exact book I sold to the bookstore and it’s back on the shelf for $85.”

The bookstore’s high markup shocked him. He figured that if he had sold that book directly to another student at half the price he paid, then he would have received more fore the exchange and the student would have paid less. “The whole idea behind this is to cut out the middleman,” Heimpel said. Dimond, wanting to bring that idea to CSUF, connected with Heimpel, who helped him market the CSUF version of SDTexty,

CHASE DIMOND Titan Texty creator Titan Texty, in Fullerton. Unlike other textbook sites, Titan Texty is free to use for sellers and buyers. The textbook exchange sites have been around “quietly” for the last year at CSUF, SDSU, and Cal State Long Beach, but Heimpel’s team has just launched a national site, texty.studymode. com, which is now in use by 17 universities, Heimpel said. Why the need? Dimond and Heimpel’s stories mirror a common frustration within college campuses everywhere. Between January 1977

and June 2015, textbook prices have increased by 1,041 percent, which is more than three times the inflation rate, according to NBC’s review of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. On campus, Titan Shops has two buyback offers. If a student buys a book and soon realizes he or she does not need that textbook, Titan Shops will buy back that textbook at wholesale price. However, if a student sells back a textbook during finals week, then he or she can only receive up to 50 percent of the book’s purchase price, according to the Titan Shops’ webpage. Titan Shops guarantees to pay at least $5 for a textbook, but only one that they determine qualifies for the buyback program. Karen Barrales, a 21-yearold CSUF business administration major, said the bookstore is easy to shop in, but doesn’t always have the cheapest pricing. “Sometimes you can find (textbooks) online for cheaper, but when it comes to the custom CSUF editions, you have to buy them at the bookstore or at Little Professors.” Barrales has spent up to $200 for one textbook, but she’s never tried to sell textbooks back to the bookstore. “I feel like they won’t give me back a good amount, so I just sell them through the Facebook pages.” Facebook is a go-to place for many students to resell their textbooks, but it is often cluttered. “It can be chaotic, but if you can get (textbooks) cheaper from buying it from another student, the chaos is

worth it,” Barrales said. Who’s behind the site? The Titan Texty team consists of Heimpel, the operations manager; Dimond, the marketing and growth guru; and Ralph Chochlac, the product development and analytics manager. Three men operating an entire company may seem daunting, but Heimpel attributes their growing success to them being fresh out of college. “We have a really clear idea about what works and what doesn’t because we suffered a lot of the same pain that every other student

does,” Heimpel said. Dimond said that even though the team is small, they do get help from other people, and even their families. Dimond has two younger brothers who help make fliers, talk to students and make recommendations for improvements. “It’s been really fun being the older brother who gets to teach your little brothers something about marketing, research, textbooks and how to save,” Dimond said. What comes next? Titan Texty hopes to sort through the clutter and help students easily connect.

“We are hoping it becomes a central marketplace for Fullerton to buy and sell textbooks,” Heimpel said. Heimpel is still looking to see what students want from the site, possibly including a scrolling screen for students to browse the books on sale rather than just having a search box on the site. The Texty sites are free to use and do not generate revenue, but the team is not concerned with that right now. “This is really all about the students,” Dimond said. “Whatever the students want to do with it and take it, that’s where it’s going to be, so it’s really cool and we’re really excited for the ride.”

A&E Music scene thrives in Fullerton

PAGE 6 JANUARY 25, 2016 MONDAY

Night Owl and Roscoe’s offer a unique array of entertainment ANGIE PEREZ Daily Titan Orange County is a mecca for entertainment and live performances, from shows at Santa Ana’s Observatory and the Honda Center in Anaheim, to Disney parades, to art exhibits at the Grand Central Arts Center. Students can enjoy a plethora of options and different forms of entertainment at their convenience. Luckily, for many students who are trying to enjoy what Orange County has to offer on a budget, downtown Fullerton is an excellent choice for exploring the local music and entertainment scene with little to no cost. Roscoe’s Famous Deli in the Soco District is one of many establishments in downtown Fullerton that offer live music. However, Roscoe’s stands out from other businesses because of the timeless yet refreshing music it brings by booking blues bands and 80s and classic rock cover bands. Roscoe’s is a great brick building with two bars and a large patio out back where shows used to be held. Because the restaurant offers ample space, owners decided to build a stage inside, said the deli’s manager, James Frank. For eight years now, locals have gone to Roscoe’s to enjoy its famous sandwiches, grab a refreshing beer and indulge in the upbeat music and entertainment offered every Friday, Saturday and special holidays starting at 9 p.m. ‘til closing time. Frank said most bands are generally local and from the Los Angeles or Riverside area. Lineups include the likes

of FlashPants, an 80s party band, and Echo Lover Chamber, a local band that covers classic rock to contemporary music. As of now there is no cover charge for patrons, but they must be 21 and ready to present a valid ID at the door after 9 p.m. Another go-to for Fullerton natives is the family-oriented, Bohemian coffee house, Night Owl, which is located on the corner of Amerige Avenue and Harbor Boulevard. Night Owl has a cozy

feel with comfy couches, dim lighting, eccentric music and square windows, each draped with complex, rustic-patterned curtains. Store manager Alice Oueijan goes far enough to call the cafe “Fullerton’s living room” because of its tight-knit community that’s been built with regulars and baristas who are always friendly. The coffee house offers multiple forms of entertainment from poetry night, movie screenings and live music. Music nights are the most

popular, Oueijan said. Night Owl hosts open mic night on Tuesdays, when solo artists can put on an intimate show. Bands are also booked Friday and Saturday nights. Oueijan said Night Owl books a mix of bands and genres from alternative, punk, country, rap, reggae and even international bands. Because it is a family-friendly venue, there is no age limit. Therefore, when booking artists, Night Owl makes sure the music is family-appropriate. However, due to the

current weather conditions, Night Owl is taking a break from music nights until early spring. “It’s either too cold or there’s a chance that it’s going to rain,” Oueijan said. Live music will start again by late February or early March. The Night Owl also hosts an open mic for poetry night the last Sunday of every month, and once spring arrives it will host movie screenings in the patio, as well. There is no cover fee, but Night Owl asks that guests

purchase at least one drink. The art on the wall is changed every season, and this spring the art will be changed out with new pieces made by local artists. Night Owl and Roscoe’s are just two of many businesses that offer live entertainment. Establishments such as Slidebar, the Continental Room and Bourbon Street also host shows, but none compare to the vibe and great times that come with each visit to Night Owl and Roscoe’s Famous Deli.

Located in the heart of downtown Santa Ana, the Grand Central Art Center collaborates with CSUF College of the Arts. The program focuses on community-engaged practices and contemporary art

Art program fosters high caliber of creativity EMILY DIECKMAN Daily Titan

Grand Central Art Center’s (GCAC) Artist-in-Residence program provides contemporary artists with the opportunity to realize some of their most ambitious projects and biggest dreams. GCAC and the Artist-in-Residence program existed since February 1999. The curatorial team there identifies artists — anywhere from regional to international, emerging acclaimed artists or established ones — who have creative processes they feel are worth believing in. Those artists are then invited to be a part of the program, in which they receive an apartment, a studio space and an honorarium. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

However, perhaps the most important part of the Artist-in-Residence program is less tangible and definable.

They don’t need a project when they come, because it’s really about discovery... and the creative process — and we’re very open to that process.

Artist-in-Residence program helps artists find a place to grow

JOHN SPIAK Chief Curator and Director of GCAC “What we’re doing is listening to them,” said John Spiak, chief curator and director of the center. “They don’t need a project when they come, because it’s really about discovery when we’re here — and the creative process — and we’re very open to that process.” The curatorial team first selects the artists for the

program and then helps to provide them with the necessary resources to make their projects realities. The program could also develop or shift their projects into new frontiers. Spiak mentions artists who have come from as far away as Bogota and Bosnia, describing how their projects evolved once they entered the program. In the last few years, Spiak said the program has changed focus to bring the commonalities of what it is to be human together through socially engaged practices. The curatorial team at GCAC invites contemporary artists creating socially engaged art to be a part of the program, whether those artists come from Orange County or from across the world. “We try to focus on contemporary art, and we just want to show the highest caliber ... and if we can show international artists, that brings more recognition when we show a local (artist),” Spiak said.

With a new year comes a new variety of entertainment at Cal State Fullerton. The spring season of theater and dance features a plethora of breathtaking plays, musicals and dance showcases. “The Miracle Worker,” directed by Joseph Arnold, is a play based on the life of Helen Keller and that of her teacher, Annie Sullivan. Deemed an American classic, the play won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1960. The sometimes violent and difficult relationship between student and teacher in the play will provide for a moving experience. “The Miracle Worker” will run from Feb. 19 to March 13. From March 11 to March 26, “The Merry Wives of Windsor” will bring laughter to the stage. The play is about Sir John Falstaff, a fictional character who makes an appearance in Shakespeare’s “Henry IV, Part 1,” “Henry IV, Part 2” and “Henry V.” Falstaff is a poor soldier looking to change his luck by seducing two rich wives with the same love letter. The production promises to be truly interesting, as director Sarah Ripper is not producing a typical Shakespearean production. “I’m setting the show in the 1940s, post-World War II. I’m exploring the gender roles of men and women of that time,” Ripper said. If a Shakespearean play based in the 1940s is not enough, following “The Merry Wives of Windsor” is a new theatre staple: “Into The Woods,” directed by Eve Himmelheber. From April 8 to April 24, audiences can see what happens when the world’s favorite fairy tales combine. The play follows the stories of a baker and his wife, Cinderella; Jack,

from “Jack and the Beanstalk;” Little Red and Rapunzel, as they navigate through this new storybook of problems. Outside of the main stage, there are more shows at CSUF’s Grand Central Art Center (GCAC) in Santa Ana. Directed by Christopher Shaw, “How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found,” runs from April 15 to April 30. The play follows one man’s desperate attempts to question the system and his existential struggle in doing so. Also showing at GCAC is ‘12’ x 16’ Dance,” a dance showcase coordinated by William Lett that feature original choreography by CSUF students and faculty. The showcase features all forms of dance ranging from tap, to modern to hip-hop. From April 22 to May 8, students can catch the farce “Don’t Dress for Dinner,” directed by Mark Ramont. The play features the story of Bernard, who takes his French mistress out to the country, along with his best friend as an alibi. The trip turns from a great time into a terrible mess. “Don’t Dress for Dinner” is the right play for anyone looking to laugh at the misery of others. Rounding out the theater season, from May 5 to May 15, is the Spring Dance Theatre concert. The concert, coordinated by Gladys Kares, promises to be delightful, featuring numerous forms of dance including modern, ballet, tap and more. But if going to see a theater and dance production is a new experience, here are some wise words from a director within the department: “Every performance is different because of the audience’s experience. The actors are fueled by the energy the audience gives them. After a production rehearses, builds, and prepares, the last piece is the audience,” Ripper said. “The theater experience is live and electric.”

OPINION Oregon uprising is not surprising

PAGE 8 JANUARY 25, 2016 MONDAY

Ammon Bundy’s militia stems from inflated 2nd Amendment beliefs GINO RICCARDI Daily Titan Concerns continue to mount regarding the armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge that sits 30 miles southeast of Burns, Oregon. The incident should come as no surprise, however, to those who make their living spouting anti-government rhetoric. Early this January, a group of armed militants led by Ammon Bundy, son of rancher Cliven Bundy, diverted an estimated dozen participants of a rally meant to bolster support for two Oregon ranchers who were facing prison time over charges of arson, into occupying part of the federal Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Their demands now go far beyond the release of two alleged arsonists and have expanded to include a relinquishing of all federal lands so that they can be owned and managed by the private sector. The armed occupation comes less than two years after Cliven Bundy successfully staved off federal agents in a standoff concerning outstanding cattle grazing fees that had been accrued by the Nevada Rancher. The standoff drew much support from presidential hopefuls like Ben Carson and Rand Paul, as well as Fox News pundit Sean Hannity, all of whom later distanced themselves from the rancher in light of his blatant racism, according to the Washington Post. Ammon Bundy can’t be

blamed for believing that he and his band of militants would be hailed as national heroes the same way his dad was. Instead, he’s been decried by Republican front-runners like Ted Cruz, who said, “‘Every one of us has a constitutional right to protest, to speak our minds,’ but ‘there is no right to engage in violence against other Americans,’” and Marco Rubio, who commented on the incident, saying, “You can’t be lawless,” according to the Wall Street Journal. The rhetoric on the right has been going in this direction for a long time. Gov. Chris Christie at the third GOP debate said, “The government has lied to you and they have stolen from you,” while Rand Paul said, “I want a government so small I can barely see it.” The trend is that citizens are continually told that the government is something separate from themselves in which they can never participate. Government is portrayed as a vigilant enemy of the people, against which there is no recourse. People like Ted Cruz, who continually cite the 2nd Amendment as a “Constitutional right to protect your children, your family, your home, our lives, and to serve as the ultimate check against governmental tyranny,” according to the Washington Post, pretend to be surprised when armed militants decide to take the law into their own hands. Ted Cruz received more than three quarters of a million dollars from groups that are closely associated with the Kochs, “including the Club for Growth, which describes itself as the nation’s ‘leading

The inflammatory effects of anti-government rhetoric have been largely underestimated by the government officials who purport to have the public interest at heart. This correlation can be seen in instances such as the Oregon militia.

free-enterprise advocacy group.’ The group has been Cruz’s top donor,” according to Politifact. A closer inspection of anti-government rhetoric as conveyed by government officials reveals a special interest. Two years ago, Cruz proposed an amendment to the Bipartisan Sportsmen’s

Act of 2014 which stipulated that all land managed by the federal Interior and Agriculture departments should never exceed half the land in the state. “In states where those agencies do control more than half the land, Cruz proposed, the government should sell the ‘excess’ land at auction or transfer it to the state,”

according to Politifact. But everyday private citizens could never afford to purchase private lands on this scale. The benefactors would be wealthy industrialists like the Kochs and the politicians for whom they choose to lobby. As for the standoff in Oregon, the militants have their supporters and their

opponents. On both sides of the fence, however, they seem to be exhausted with the circus that the Bundys have created in their home town. Perhaps one polite supporter said it best when he addressed Ammon at a town meeting this past Tuesday, saying, “I agree with you 100 percent, but get out of my yard!”

SPORTS Titans fall to last place in Big West PAGE 9 MONDAY JANUARY 25, 2016

Women’s basketball comes up short against UC Irvine BRANDON ROSS Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team’s struggles continued as it fell 62-58 against the UC Irvine Anteaters in a Big West Conference showdown Saturday at Titan Gym. The loss extended CSUF’s losing streak to 17 games (2-17 overall, 0-5 Big West), and gave the Anteaters (416, 1-5) their first conference win of the season). CSUF Head coach Daron Park was not pleased with his squad’s effort. “We didn’t do enough good things to win a basketball game,” Park said. “When it comes to game time, we’re not doing the right things consistently enough.” The Titans got off to a decent start with an early 6-2 lead, but the Anteaters struck back and forced 11 CSUF turnovers in the first quarter. “90, if not 100, percent of those turnovers were on us,” Park said. “I know we didn’t play hard enough to start the game and I know we didn’t play hard enough to win.” The Titan turnovers in the first quarter set the tone for the rest of the game, as UCI did not forfeit its lead during the remainder of the contest. Overall, the Titans committed 23 turnovers, compared to 12 for the Anteaters, which was one of the keys in the game as UCI netted 18 points off CSUF turnovers.

PATRICK DO / DAILY TITAN

A late surge by the Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team was not enough to overcome the UC Irvine Anteaters in the Titans’ fifth Big West Conference game of the season. CSUF gave the ball away 23 times, gifting 18 points off turnovers to the Anteaters.

From a statistical standpoint, CSUF was slightly more success from the field, as the Titans shot 38.5 percent compared to the Anteaters’ 37.5 percent. Despite Fullerton’s shooting performance, UCI made the Titans pay from the free-throw line, shooting 91.7 percent, with the Titans shooting a dismal 60 percent. The Anteaters dominated

inside the paint, outscoring CSUF 38-22. The Titans, however, outrebounded UCI 43-33. “I think UCI played really hard tonight,” Park said. “I think they played harder than us.” For the Titans, freshman guard Dani Craig scored 13 points and shot 50 percent from behind the arc. Freshman guard Jade Vega

also contributed 13 points, and sunk five of seven free throws. In addition, junior center Dhanyel Johnson controlled the boards by bringing down 10 rebounds. The biggest standout for CSUF was freshman forward Michelle Berry, who notched a double-double, scoring 18 points and 14 rebounds. “Michelle is an incredibly

talented player,” Park said. “She can be the best player in this league.” CSUF made things interesting in the end, cutting UCI’s lead to three with 3 minutes and 4 seconds left to go in the game. The Anteaters would fend off the Titans’ offense and hand them their 17th straight defeat of the season. Park was critical of his

team’s lack of desire to finally get over the hump. “They don’t have the sense of urgency right now to want to be a good team this year,” Park said. In search of a much needed win, the Titans return to the court this Thursday as they travel to Hawaii to take on the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine (10-9, 3-3) at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team lost its fourth straight game placing it last in the Big West Conference (1-4). Despite CSUF winning the rebound battle 42-29, the Cal Poly SLO Mustangs managed to convert 13 points off of 12 Titan turnovers.

Men’s basketball falls off its horse The Titans drop to last place in Big West with loss to Cal Poly SLO RYAN PORTER Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team lost 83-75 Saturday against the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Mustangs at Titan Gym. What began as a solid start to the 2015-2016 season gradually turned into a subpar 8-10 overall record. Five games into conference play, the Titans have now fallen to last place in the Big West

Conference (1-4). Within the first minute of play, the Titans got on the board with a jump shot from senior center Kennedy Esume. However, Mustang junior guard Ridge Shipley would ignite the Cal Poly perimeter game with a 3-point shot a minute later. Cal Poly’s Reese Morgan would follow up with a 3-pointer to give the Mustangs an early 6-2 lead. Titan freshman Khalil Ahmad would record a 3-point shot of his own midway through the first half to tie the score 16-16. The Titans would soon earn their second lead of the game

after converting a steal by redshirt junior Tre’ Coggins’ into another Ahmad bucket, making the score 21-19. The Titans kept it close the rest of the first half, shooting 44.4 percent from the field and making most from their free throws, shooting 87.5 percent from the charity stripe. After twenty minutes of competitive play, the Titans would enter halftime with Cal Poly leading just 37-35. The Mustangs gradually broke away from the Titans in the second half, taking a 9-point lead with 13 minutes left to play. Led by Ahmad and

Coggins, Fullerton attempted to reduce the deficit with limited game time, but a rushed offensive approach would ultimately be the team’s downfall. Compared to a well-played first half, CSUF recorded a 38.7 field goal percentage, hitting only one of its seven 3-point attempts in the second half. The Titans’ freethrow percentage dropped as well, falling from 87.5 percent to 71.4 percent. The Titans brought the game within two points with five minutes left to play. However, as the Mustangs pulled away in the waning moments of the game, the

Titans were forced to intentionally foul to keep the game alive. The Mustangs answered Fullerton’s comeback surge by making 24 of their 32 free throws, preventing the Titans from formulating any serious offensive threat. Ahmad would lay down a dunk with a little over a minute left to play, but the Titans would ultimately fall 83-75. The Titans shot a respectable 41.4 percent from the field, sinking 24 of 58 attempts. In addition, the Titans outrebounded the Mustangs by a large margin, with 42 rebounds total. Cal Poly, now 2-3 in the

Big West, shot 40.7 percent from the field, and recorded an even better 41.7 percen for 3-pointers. In addition, the Mustangs only gave up two turnovers as opposed to the Titans’ 12. “They are a very good ball control team,” CSUF Head Coach Dedrique Taylor said. “But the only adjustments you can make is you can’t turn the ball over 12 times and expect to have a chance to beat a team like Cal Poly.” Now placing last in the Big West, the Titans face the Aggies (2-2) at the UC Davis Pavilion Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Baseball fundraiser to host Kevin Costner CSUF baseball to hold 10th annual Dinner with the Titans event HAYLEY M.
