Candidates spar in St.Louis Presidential nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off for the second debate of this election cycle where they answered questions ranging from public scandal to supreme court justice selection. The debate was moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC’s Martha Raddatz but the discussion was guided largely by the audience in this town-hallstyle debate. On suitability for young audiences The first question was directed to both candidates. An audience member asked if the candidates felt they were setting a good example for today’s youth, in respect to the last debate which the audience member said “could have been rated as MA.” Clinton answered first, saying that she has a very optimistic view of the future. “We are going to respect each other, lift each other up, try to embrace our diversity ... bring everyone in,” Clinton said. “If we set these goals and accomplish them together, there’s nothing that America can’t do.” Trump agreed with everything that Clinton said and jumped back to his boilerplate of trade deals, law and order, health care and border walls. He also touched on the goal of bringing better education to African American and Latino youth in the inner cities. “I want to do things that haven’t been done,” Trump said.

The 2005 Trump tape recording The next topic of discussion put forth by the moderators was the recent leak of a tape which revealed Trump making vulgar comments about women such as “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful–I just

start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.” In response, Trump apologized and then weaved back and forth between

excusing his dialogue as “locker room talk” and being tough on ISIS. At one point in his response, Trump said “Nobody has more respect for

women than I do.” Clinton reasserted that from the beginning of his presidential bid, Trump is not fit to be president. Clinton said the tape represents who Trump really is despite Trump’s video statement and apology in which he claims the au-

Alt bands amp up Orangefest Performers and free food entertain over 500 students. SARAH WOLSTONCROFT Daily Titan As Between California and Summer finished its set with the crowd of students singing along to Mr. Brightside, the DJ knew he had to keep the energy up in the crowd as they fought to beat the sweltering heat while waiting for the next band to start. The first two beats of the “Cha Cha Slide” hit the speakers and a band of sweaty students emerged from their safe space in the shade, clapping their hands and showing just how low they could go. As the sun began to set before Groves took the stage, members of ASI kept the fun going. They danced salsa to “Suavemente” and pulled students from the crowd to join the dance circle that formed in front of the stage.

Kanoe Fragas, Fall and Spring Concert coordinator said it was the fifth annual fall festival and is the biggest concert event of the Fall season. “We basically wanted to create a fun environment, bring the campus together and get them out to have fun and take a break from their classes so they can escape the midterm madness,” Fragas said. Orangefest was held outside last Thursday at the Becker Amphitheater from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. as a way to celebrate the end of ASIP week and the midpoint of the semester. The event offered coveted free food vouchers for food trucks Barcelona OntheGo and Spudrunners to the lucky first 500 students, which ran out in the first hour. When asked what attracted her to the event, Hannah Tanama, senior health science major simply answered, “the food trucks.” “There were free food trucks, free t-shirts, so far I’m liking it, I got these two

dio does not reflect his character. Clinton said that besides the leaked audio, Trump has also targeted immigrants, African Americans, Latinos, POWs, people with disabilities, muslims and many others. An audience member asked if Trump was the same man that was heard in the audio from 2005. Trump defended himself by saying that he was not proud of the words on the recording but then pivoted to Bill Clinton and his alleged cases of sexual abuse toward women. “There has never been anyone in the history of politics in this nation that’s been so abusive to women than Bill Clinton,” Trump said, furthering his attack by saying Hillary Clinton berated women who accused her husband of rape. Clinton fired back by pointing out that Trump never apologizes, referencing Capt. Humayun Khan, an American Muslim soldier who lost his life in Iraq, his mocking of a disabled reporter, saying U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel was not fit to judge because he is Mexican and being at the forefront of the birther movement. Trump responded by saying Clinton is the one who owes President Barack Obama an apology for being the first to put Obama’s heritage into question. Trump then referenced his surprise that former Democratic opponent to Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, endorsed her after WikiLeaks exposed the DNC’s alleged plot to keep Sanders down.

Proposition 55, known as the California Children’s Education and Healthcare Protection Act, is on this November’s ballot. The measure will extend the amount of time the high income tax on Californian’s who make more than $250,000 a year is implemented. If passed, the revenue made from this tax will be allocated to education and health care. This will not only affect those being taxed, but will also impact public K-12 schools and also community colleges, including the entire CSU system. SEE PROP

Cost and coverage of healthcare The two candidates then bickered over the success of Obamacare. Clinton argued for fixing the current system which is facing high premiums and prescription drug costs instead of repealing it because of the good it did, not only for low income individuals and families, but also for individuals who receive benefits from their employers. She referenced the benefits of insurance companies not being able to deny coverage because of a pre-existing conditions, the absence of lifetime limits which aids individuals with serious health problems, the equal charge for health insurance between men and women and the ability for individuals to remain on their parent’s policy until age 26. “Obamacare is a disaster... Their method of fixing it is to go back and ask Congress for more money. We have right now almost $20 trillion in debt,” Trump said. “Obamacare will never work. It’s very bad health insurance, far too expensive for the person that has it and unbelievably expensive for our country. We have to repeal it and replace it with absolutely something much less expensive.” Islamophobia The next question addressed a statement Trump made on Dec. 7, 2015 in which he said, “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”

“We have no idea who they are, where they are from or what they feel about us,” Trump said of Syrian refugees. Public v.

The handling of the emails Trump then attacked Clinton and focused on what the moderator later referred to as her “extremely careless” handling of the 33,000 private emails deleted from her server. Clinton apologized for using her private email account but insisted there was no evidence of her server being hacked or classified material ending up “in the wrong hands.” Trump then promised that if he is elected president, he will instruct his attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s situation. “The people of this country are furious. In my opinion, the longterm workers of the FBI are furious,” Trump said. “People’s lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you’ve done.” Clinton responded by saying her constant need to fact check Trump because of his inaccuracies distracts from the time she is able to spend discussing policy. “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Clinton said, to which Trump responded, “because you’d be in jail,” which was met with gasps and murmuring from the audience.

Tax provisions Trump and Clinton were asked what specific tax provisions they would make to ensure the wealthy paid their fair share of taxes. Trump answered first by pointing out that Clinton never worked toward closing loopholes that allowed business titans like Trump to get away with little to no Federal income tax. “Why didn’t you change it when you were senator?” Trump asked Clinton. He argued that Clinton’s donors and friends most likely benefit from the same tax loopholes. “I am lowering; she is raising,” Trump said. “He lives in an alternate reality,” Clinton said. “It’s funny to hear someone who hasn’t paid taxes in 20 years talk about taxes.” She said that Trump’s plan will raise taxes for the middle class and that his tax provisions will benefit the very wealthy. “Donald always takes care of Donald and people like Donald,” Clinton said. Supreme Court justice selection “I want to appoint supreme court justices who understand the way the world really works, who have real life experience, who have not just been in a big law firm ... and actually understand what people are up against. I think the current court has gone the wrong direction,” Clinton said. Clinton continued arguing for the reversal of Citizens United and upholding Roe v. Wade and marriage equality. Trump said he is looking to appoint a judge “in the mold of Justice Scalia.” He then stressed the importance of the new judge upholding the values of the Constitution, including the Second Amendment, which he criticized Clinton for not supporting. He then questioned her reluctance to use the money she has earned in public office for her campaign rather than accepting millions of dollars from private interest groups. Clinton retorted by saying that she respects the Second Amendment and rather is for comprehensive background checks and closing the gun show and online loopholes. Respect for one another The final question posed by an audience member inquired if there were any positive comments the candidates could make about one another. “I respect his children who are incredibly able and devoted and that says a lot about Donald. I don’t agree with nearly anything else he says or does, but I do respect that, and as a mother and a grandmother, that’s very important to me,” Clinton said. Trump said Clinton’s tenacity to keep fighting and her refusal to give up was respectable. “I disagree with much of what she’s fighting for and her judgment, but she does keep fighting and she doesn’t give up and I respect that,” Trump said.

Prop: Temporary tax to be extended CONTINUED FROM

California Faculty Association President Jennifer Eagan and California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Cal State Fullerton alumnus, discussed what the proposition entails and how schools in the state of California survive with the revenue generated from the tax. Proposition 55 is based on the continuation of an income tax passed in 2012 under Proposition 30, which instituted a rise in the income tax for Californians with a single income of at least $263,000 or a joint income of around $526,000 each year. If passed again under Proposition 55, the same rule will apply to those with that income and would be extended for another 12 years until the year 2030. “The measure will generate an estimated $4 to $9 billion in revenue each year to public K-12 schools and community colleges in California by temporarily extending a tax on the wealthiest in the state for 12 more years,” Eagan said. The proposition would generate 89 percent of the revenue for K-12 schools while the remaining 11 percent would go towards supporting community colleges in California. If the tax is extended, the CSU system wouldn’t receive any direct funding or revenue from the tax. The way California State Universities could possibly receive funds would be from money freed up in the general fund. “Without it, the CSU could lose an estimated $250 million per year from its base budget,” Eagan said.

If passed, proposition 55 will allocate the additional funds made from taxing the wealthy to fund education and health care. Eighty-nine percent of the money will go to K-12 schools and and 11 percent will be benefiting community colleges in California.

Student populations in the CSU system rose by around 150,000 people between 1985 and 2015. But the CSU budget had declined by 2.9 percent in real dollars during that 30-year span. Lack of funding “impacts class sizes, impacts budgets, impacts staffing levels…,”

Rendon said. Although there still isn’t a direct “connection” of the tax with the large CSU system, cutting state spending would come into play. “The Cal State budget is funded by the general fund and if we have to cut overall spending, then that will

Danny Kim, vice president of Administration and Finance shared some of the solutions the school is considering to implement for the spring semester. Stack parking, a valet service, will be added in the faculty lot E and students and faculty will be able to park in the recently attained Western Law building parking lot. The building will add 230 new spots, which should alleviate parking in College Park and lot F for faculty. Students and faculty may also see a shuttle service introduced in the spring semester. For the first three to four weeks of school, people would be able to park in a lot two to three miles away and be shuttled to campus. With the addition of a shuttle service students and faculty would be guaranteed a parking spot. They can then accommodate their schedule based on a fixed time rather than circling for parking. “If we can address the parking pressure with the shuttle service, there should be enough parking spaces for everyone,” Kim said. This would be financed by Parking and Transportation but there would be no increase in price for student permits. Parking and Transportation addressed the parking situation this semester by continuing stack parking for students in lot A, G, and E. In previous semesters, students were able to find available spaces. However, with the increase of students this semester, these areas exceeded their capacity. “I think that in the addition with a shuttle service and with our ongoing stack

parking program, we’ll see some relief in the availability of parking for students,” said Joe Ferrer, director of Parking and Transportation. As of Sept. 8, Parking and Transportation sold 18,794 student permits. CSUF only has 8,175 student spaces on campus, Ferrer said. A long-term solution for parking would be to build another structure, Kim said. The school already has approved plans to build a parking structure in lot E next to the Eastside structure. This new structure would have 1,500 and be the same size as the Nutwood structure. These plans would then have to be approved by the CSU chancellor before any construction can begin. Parking and Transportation, which is self-funded, would also need to have the revenue to finance the structure. For the first several weeks of school, parking is the most impacted. “From my understanding, the reason why it is so busy the first two, three weeks of school is that people are still trying to adjust their schedules,” Kim said. Kim believes more students are on campus the first few weeks to buy their books and pay fees. After this period, parking begins to stabilize. Jarvis thinks the recent increase in parking availability is due to discouraged students staying home instead of coming to school and trying to find parking. “We’re not really doing our academic job if we solved the parking problem by making it so difficult the students aren’t coming anymore,” Jarvis said. “Parking should be a second thought for us, and it isn’t.”

Possible shuttle to eliviate parking Academic Senate addressed consistent lack of parking spots. AMY WELLS Daily Titan Parking concerns were the main topic of discussion at Cal State Fullerton’s latest academic senate meeting on Sept. 29. Matthew Jarvis, senator and associate political science professor was the first to raise the issue during the meeting’s urgent business portion. Senate members Merri Lynn Casem, Nancy Fitch and Kristi Kanel also voiced their opinions about the situation and how it can be improved. Jarvis was concerned that the allowance of 40,000 students led to not enough parking spaces to accommodate everyone who drives to campus. This parking impact has affected both students and faculty. Professors have resorted to cancelling class due to no available parking. “The short of it is, we seem to have more students, faculty and staff than we have parking spots for them,” Jarvis said after the meeting. Jarvis recently became the chair for the senate’s Campus Facilities and Beautification Committee. Jarvis hopes that this committee, which deals with the physical aspects of campus, can work on solutions to fix the problem. “We can hold hearings, we can talk to students, faculty, administrators, and we can think of ideas and suggest them to people who can do something about it,” Jarvis said.

certainly affect the Cal State system,” Rendon said. “The Cal State system is the largest public university system in the country and it’s respected for the quality of education it provides, for the quality of its graduates.” The opposition to the proposition argues the tax

passed back in 2012 was only supposed to be temporary and claims it “rips off” taxpayers to fund special interests. “...It’s a continuation of a revenue generator that voters passed a few years ago. This is asking to extend that tax, doing so in the same

manner in which the first tax was passed,” Rendon said. Some oppositions to the proposition argued that the legislature needs to find a longer term solution to the problem with the budget and its overall impact with education.

The eight-question survey was conducted online through QR codes and URLs and asked people about their preferences and past experiences with spring concert, said Nicole Hayford, PR coordinator on the Spring Concert team. The main component of the event surrounded three alternative bands: Scavenger Hunt, Between California and Summer and Groves, who all brought California-influenced music that encompassed SoCal’s laid-back vibes. The first band Scavenger Hunt, featuring lead singer Jill Lamoureux and multi-instrumentalist Dan Mufson, have been performing together for three years and describe their style as “nostalgic pop,” inspired by a love for 1980s and 1990s style music. Lamoureux said their influences comes from a wide variety of genres with everything from musical theater to hip-hop. “In one car ride together, you’ll hear Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Into the Woods,’ The Roots’ ‘Things Fall Apart,’ John Mayer’s ‘Heavier Things’ and the new Phantogram record,” Mufson said. The duo plans to release their second EP on Nov. 4. Lamoureux said

her favorite song is called “Dreamers,” which they like to use as the finale song in their performances. “I love the energy of it. I love what it speaks about. I love where we wrote it from ... Dan’s from Pennsylvania and I’m from Kansas, so we’re from far away,” Lamoureux said. Mufson said they were flattered to be invited to perform at Cal State Fullerton. “It’s such a trip because this is music that we made in our bedroom and then to log on to Spotify and see that we had 10,000 new plays because people like the music and (not because) there’s not some marketing machine behind it; it’s awesome how people find our music,” Mufson said. Scavenger Hunt also played a college tour that featured schools from the University of Miami to the University of Maine and traveled up and down the East Coast to perform. The concert next featured a band of Huntington Beach locals called Between California and Summer. “It was our first time playing a college campus, so we didn’t really know what to expect, but the crowd was really cool,” said lead singer Adam Cease. Members of the band embraced the fun atmosphere of the day with

guitarist Will Desmarais jokingly wearing a CSUF dad shirt. “I liked when everybody sang ‘Mr. Brightside,’ that was my favorite part,” Cease said. When asked about other memorable parts of the day, the band collectively said the crowd was “extremely good-looking.” The feeling was mutual with junior liberal studies major Amelia Gibbs, who said her favorite part of the day was “the cute bands.” Between California and Summer urge new fans to follow them on social media at BCASband. The final band featured at Orangefest, Groves, included Texas natives who have performed together for a few years but created their new band within the last year. “This band was born really when we moved to California and figured out what exactly we wanted and experimented with the sound,” said lead singer Stephen Salisbury. Groves currently has two songs out but they plan on releasing about seven songs on an EP in early 2017, Salisbury said. “We’re used to a club atmosphere ... it’s definitely a little bit of a diﬀerence when you get into an outside performance especially in this kind of

atmosphere, it’s a little more chill than what we’re used to,” Salisbury said. “But it’s awesome. We love playing music and we loved how welcoming everyone was and it seemed like everyone enjoyed it so we had a good time.” The next event in the

concert series, Battle of the DJs, will take place in December, Fragas said. Student applicants will have the opportunity to compete to be the DJ at spring concert. “An event like this is important because I think with college, it’s not just

about going to class and leaving,” Fragas said. “It’s more about making experiences on campus. We want to bring out experiences in students, so they can remember their time here at Cal State Fullerton and not just the basic ‘hit the books and go.’”

Shanley’s romantic dramedy is a witty crowd pleaser “Italian American Reconciliation” is an off-kilter love story. KALEB STEWART Daily Titan “Italian American Reconciliation” is a good time that simultaneously pleases a diverse crowd and tickles the interest of those looking for a bit more wit and structure behind their dramedy. The story of an Italian man named Huey attempting to recapture the love of his borderline psychotic exwife Janice is brought to life with solid performances and spot-on direction, which honored the source material from playwright John Patrick Shanley. The Hallberg stage is set with a balcony set-up in one corner, where the character Janice resides. On the main stage are chairs and tables which loosely set the stage for the scenes to come. The set merely serves as a casing for the human drama to be played out within and its

minimal nature emphasizes the actors performances. While the entirety of the cast is memorable, the standout performance is that of Rey Pulice as his character Aldo feels like a playful mix between the warm-hearted Joey from “Friends” and the casual sexism of Al Bundy from “Married with Children.” His slightly aloof delivery is charming, which helps to ease some of Aldo’s more sexist remarks concerning what he perceives as “the current state of women” in the country. In the hands of a lesser performer, Aldo can be played as a complete blithering buﬀoon, but Pulice finds middle ground that keeps the character’s sweetness front and center, despite his narrow-minded gender biases. Huey, as performed by Arash N. Fakhrabadi, is sympathetic despite his wrong-headed fascination with an emotionally and physically abusive ex-wife. Fakhrabadi has several nervous gestures, like

stretching across his writing desk in a love-sick moment during the opening act. Fewer of these nervous twitches happen as his confidence builds throughout the performance, showing a stoic confidence that many young actors forego in place of more obvious theatrics. Though she is not the center of the play’s attention, Sarah Ellsworth as Teresa and Rose Genevieve Rodriguez as Aunt May illustrate the consequences of Huey’s obsession withk Janice. In fact, Ellsworth keeps the play emotionally grounded. Amongst the chaos of Huey and Aldo’s schemes revolving around the siren Janice, Ellsworth brings a fire to her character which keeps her from being just a simple lovesick woman. The weak link in the cast is surprisingly Summer Ruley as Janice, who doesn’t make an appearance until the second act. After all of the build-up in the script concerning Janice’s appearance, Ruley’s performance doesn’t quite live up to expectations. She does well

during Janice’s more human moments, particularly when she talks about living with a loveless father. However, some of Janice’s more violent mood swings fail to resonate as the audience may hope. Her performance is competent, but it doesn’t

bring down the house in the moments where it should. The play’s tender romantic theme about how love can drive people crazy, whether they be a man or a woman, is both infectious and disarmingly charming. It is a little oﬀ-kilter that the

playwright chose to tell such a story through Huey’s love of a clearly abusive ex-wife, but the humor and humanity echo throughout. “Italian American Reconciliation” will run in the Hallberg Theatre every weekend until Oct. 30.

Misnomer preserved with Columbus

Commemoration perpetuates ignorant misunderstandings. RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan

In light of the fact that today is Columbus Day and we’re all still at school, why are we celebrating this clown if we don’t even get a day off for it? Collectively, every child has been taught in grade school that Christopher Columbus was the first to sail the trans atlantic, voyage out into the abyss and find the New World–well that’s wrong. This monster mistook America for India and assumed the Natives living there were “Indians.” His mistake has caused a perpetual misconception that Native Americans are Indians. They are Native Americans, indigenous to the American continent. Asian-Indians are Indians; yes they are also Asian. That little part below China, that’s Asia too. Kind of like how Mexico is North America but the US doesn’t like to affiliated with them. It has been a well-known tradition for the past couple years or so around this time to start going back to this revelation of Columbus. It’s been overdone, but the message is still not translating. That message being: Our use of the term “Indian” for Native Americans not only disrespects both parties, but preserves the notion that we agree with Columbus even though he was wrong. We’ve come to learn

through elementary school teachings that Columbus founded the New World in 1492. Little did our malleable brains know, Leif Eriksson landed on what we know today as Canada nearly four centuries before Columbus ever did, according to an article from history. com. Perhaps the most troubling and annoying part of all this is the constant acceptance that we are participating in a fallacy–calling a Native American person Indian is not correct. A convenient fact that teachers leave out when speaking of the Italian explorer is that he was addicted to Opium. This addiction is most likely the reason he thought he was in Asia hoping to buy some more opium or jewel. When he saw the beauty of the Natives and saw that they were a similar shade of brown as Indians, he connected those fake dots and thus, history was wronged. Along with creating a historical mishap, he isn’t as kind as teachers make him out to be. Unfortunately, a majority of the population is still reveling in the journey of this inebriated killer. While it may seem that Columbus’ journey was about finding land and sharing it with people, the truth is that he was more focused on the opportunities that this land had. Seeing the jewelry of the Natives and how healthy they all were, Columbus generously allowed himself to take the lot. Where it may historically seem that his relationship with the Natives was just a little rocky but worked, the facts point to everything but

Christopher Columbus “found” America on accident, after Leif Eriksson. When he did land on what he assumed to be Asia, he called the Natives “Indians” and thus began a shameful misunderstanding that is continued by generations to follow.

coexistence between Columbus and the Natives. Though it’s tough for historians to determine how much of a population there was before Columbus, it’s been theorized that after the arrival of the Europeans, thanks to Columbus, around 80 percent of the Native population perished, according to RationalWiki. However, his visits to those Native friends weren’t without presents. Columbus brought along with him never-before-seen infectious-diseases. He was extremely

generous with his offerings seeing as the population decrease happened faster than the Black Death. Swell guy. Thankfully his bullet bit back in 1506 when Columbus died from a heart attack caused by a part of history that historians like to leave out an untreated sexually transmitted disease. While Columbus was also taken away by the nature and beauty of the people he encountered, his journals show a capitalist/racist/slave-owner mindset. “I could conquer the whole of them with

50 men, and govern them as I pleased,” according to his journals. For some reason, people see no problem in continuing to celebrate Columbus as a true American pioneer. He may have found this place and colonized it with rapists and murderers but is he really what we should be looking up to? Historically, there are plenty of other men and women who deserve days to celebrate their accomplishments. It is also troubling that after all of this time, people

still don’t see how disrespectful it is to call a Native American an “Indian.” That’s the point that really should be addressed and fixed, because if anything can change, it is this. To generalize other races is not only ignorant, but referring to Natives as “Indians” continues to perpetuate this mistake that we all conveniently forget to fix. If we can’t stop and correct ourselves then we are endorsing the means that this land was founded upon–rape, murder and thievery.

Trump turns to hostility as debate heats up Second presidential discussion devolves into he said, she said. ASHLYN RAMIREZ RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan Following the second presidential debate, only one word can summarize the tone–hostile. Specifically, the debate was hostile in reference to Donald Trump’s horribly junior-high decorum during his portions. If there was anything that he could have had going for him, it could have been his use of the stage, which Hillary Clinton so actively and purposefully used. While the last presidential debate left the public wanting more information, it looks as

though our presidential debates have devolved into soap operas. As Trump stayed on the offensive, Clinton definitely channeled some inner zen. It seems that Clinton is taking in the advice that Michelle Obama, her friend, gave her: “When they go low, you go high.” Despite not bringing up Trump’s insensitive comments towards fallen soldier Capt. Humayun Khan’s parents, Khizir and Ghazala Khan, his offensive questioning toward Barack Obama and his birth certificate fiasco, her comments were incredibly poised and contemplative. Clinton was quick and astute to bring up how Humayun Khan sacrificed himself for our country, but Trump

fought back saying that if he were president then, Humayun Khan would still be alive today, acting as if he never actually insulted him before. In true evil villain form, Trump threatened and brought up as much dirt as he could to instigate Clinton, but she resiliently trudged on. Trump fell even lower by considering Bernie Sanders’ backing of the Clinton Campaign meant he had signed on with the devil. Trump did everything he could to keep the attention off his own current scandals by drudging up all the dirt he could on his opponent. Even after a considerably hostile statement by promising he would appoint a special prosecutor to convict Clinton of her email scandal,

she stayed imperturbable. According to Clinton, everything Trump says is wrong and he apparently lives in an “alternate reality.” Trump constantly fabricates a wild narrative about how much Obamacare is a disaster. However, it has been wildly successful, insuring 20 million Americans, according to The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. While Clinton gave her answers with some sort of plan backing them, Trump apparently forgot to leave out important parts of his plans or just his plans in general. What has now become a trademark from Trump is starting to become a big part of the reason these debates are detrimental to him. Dodging a question has

not been flaunted as much as it’s been by Trump, from the starting question about his sexual assault being answered with “I will defeat ISIS,” or questions about healthcare morphing into “Hillary Clinton likes Obamacare.” Trump has no true plan. All he can do is repeat basic phrases. Nearly every stance Trump started to take eventually turned into any and every opportunity he can to attack Clinton. Even the moderators, Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz, tried to keep Trump in check but a lot of debate time has gone to useless bickering over the past mistakes of both candidates. At one point, Raddatz even said, “tell me what your strategy is,” in reference to a rant

that Trump goes on about “how stupid our country is,” that ends in Raddatz moving to Clinton instead to find insight. Though Clinton does pivot on her answers, her subtlety works levels more than Trump’s horribly rocky transitions. Trump seemed to conveniently forget that he went way off topic on basically every question, accusing the CNN moderators of giving more talking time to Clinton. This debate, again, has gone to Clinton. The reason being is her poise and understanding of a debate. Clinton has spent her life being groomed for a position like this. Trump needs to take a class from Mike Pence, or maybe a xanax.

CSUF stung by Hornets, Aggies Men’s soccer stumbles to 1-3 in conference play. ERIC DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer failed to net a goal through two games during its first Big West Conference road trip of the season. After a disappointing finish against UC Santa Barbara at Titan Stadium last Sunday, the Titans entered the match against Sacramento State with a 5-3 headto-head record, having won last season’s contest 2-0. Before Saturday’s matchup against UC Davis, Fullerton had shown similar success against the Aggies with an overall record of 9-7-3. The last time the Titans played the Aggies, Fullerton won 1-0 off a goal in the closing minutes. Sacramento State The Titans fell prey to

some of the same inconsistencies that have plagued the team all season in their 1-0 loss to Sacramento State. Fullerton’s frustration was on full display, as the team was tagged for five yellow cards, four of which came in the second half. The first half started slowly for the Titans. Sacramento’s defense did not allow Fullerton to take its first shot of the game until the 19th minute when midfielder Robert Coronado took a chance at goal from the top of the box. Coronado, however, put too much behind the kick and saw the ball sail over the post. The Titans created a few chances on the offensive side, taking five corners and three shots, but saw the half come to a scoreless end. The Titans unraveled in the second half. In the 60th minute, defender Sam Molz was given Fullerton’s second yellow card of the game. Twelve minutes later, the team and defender Mitchell Bell were issued

yellow cards in the same minute. Moments later in the 74th minute, the Hornets finally struck when Sacramento forward Nate Nugen connected with a cross in front of the goal to go up 1-0. Fullerton was shown a glimmer of hope in the 76th minute when Sacramento State midfielder Ivan Ramirez was dealt a red card, ejecting him from the game and giving the Titans a one-player advantage. With tension mounting as time wound down, the Titans pressured Hornets goalkeeper James Del Curto with shots in the 80th and 89th minute of play. Del Curto was able to make the save on both occasions, sealing the shutout win for Sacramento. UC Davis The Titans found themselves having to play from behind for the third straight game Saturday. In the 24th minute, Davis forward Kristian Heptner received a long

pass from midfield. Heptner took on three Fullerton defenders by himself, taking a shot from outside the 18yard box that sliced past the dive of goalkeeper Paul-Andre Guerin. At the end of the half, Fullerton was outshot by Davis 11-4. More importantly, the Titans were trailing the Aggies 1-0 on the scoreboard. The Titans’ best chance to even the score came in the 50th minute when forward Jacob Perez saw his shot bounce off the post. From that point on, it was all Davis. The Aggies sealed the win in the 71st minute when Miguel Acevedo and Kyle Higgins broke free for back-to-back goals within a 30-second span. The offensive struggles continued for the Titans as the team didn’t manage to get a single shot on goal. Davis dominated the shot chart, outshooting Fullerton 16-6 by the end of the match. The Titans’ six

shots were the least they’ve had this season. The 3-0 defeat drops the Titans to 5-8 overall and 1-3 in Big West Conference play. The loss additionally solidified a three-game losing streak for Fullerton, the team’s longest of the season, and the most consecutive losses since

the 2013 season when it dropped five in a row. The loss was the fifth time the Titans have been shutout this year and their fourth shutout loss in the last six games. The Titans will hit the road for an away match against CSU Northridge Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Titan goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart made seven saves against Long Beach Sunday. “This is my last season and I want to get every single minute I can in and take advantage of every minute that I have,” Stuart said.

Fullerton catches lucky break in weekend split Titans benefit from own goal in win over Long Beach. HARRISON FAIGEN Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer rode into the weekend on a two-game winning streak, ranking first in the Big West Conference. The Titans couldn’t keep momentum going in their 3-2 come-from-ahead loss to UC Davis, but were able to bounce back with 1-0 victory over rival Long Beach State. UC Davis Instead of resting on their laurels against the Aggies after a six-goal explosion the prior weekend, the Titans put their foot on the gas. Head Coach Demian Brown sent four attackers forward instead of the two he started with the prior game. This move resulted in CSUF dominating possession to open against Davis and eventually finding the back of the net in the 22nd minute. Forward Sarah Fajnor poked the ball past Aggie goalkeeper Alexis Smith after she failed to grab a loose ball inside the penalty box. The goal was Fajnor’s third in three games. The Titans scored again when Nano Oronoz’s cross from the right side of the goal sailed past the outstretched arm of Smith and was controlled by Tala Haddad. The junior midfielder sent the ball into the left side of the net in the 35th minute to add to her team-leading nine points and

give CSUF a 2-0 lead heading into halftime. The Titans’ two goals ultimately weren’t enough. Zuzu Romano opened the floodgates for Davis when she nailed her team’s first goal of the afternoon in the 71st minute. Four minutes later, a foul at the edge of the box in the set up a Davis penalty kick. Goalkeeper Morgan Bertsch made a diving save on the initial shot, deflecting it from the left side of the net to hit the right post. Unfortunately for the Titans, the rebound went to Davis’ Andi Damian, who evened the score at 2-2. The Aggies continued to apply pressure, and took a 3-2 lead with an 85th minute goal from Alicia Sloss. The freshman’s first goal of the season came at the perfect time for Davis, as her welltimed slide finished off a high arcing pass from teammate Sydney Burger. The Titans nearly evened it up in the 90th minute, but Lindsay Stasinis’ shot missed wide, leaving CSUF with yet another last-second loss. While the three-goal flurry was aided by a bit of bad luck, the Titans didn’t have to wait long for their fortune to turn.

Long Beach Stasinis’ free kick in the 18th minute Saturday against Long Beach didn’t appear to have much of a chance to go in, but a contested header in the box bounced high as 49ers goalkeeper Ashton McKeown was in position to make the save on the goalline. However, the ball slipped through her hands and went through, giving the

Titans a 1-0 lead on an own goal in the 18th minute. “I was just hoping one of our players would get our head on the ball, since I thought I put it in a pretty good spot for us,” Stasinis said. “When the other girl headed it, I thought our teams would fight for it in the box, but it ended up going our way.” The Titans nearly took a 2-0 lead in the 30th minute when Fajnor’s shot was blocked by McKeown but drew her out of the goal in the process. Haddad almost had a look at an open net on the other side on the rebound, but was blocked by the slide tackle of a Long Beach defender. Long Beach nearly answered right back, but CSUF goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart– who returned to the goal for the Titans after missing their last two with an arm injury– made that save and two others in the first half to retain the Titans’ on-goal lead into the break. Stuart and the Titan defense remained staunch in an ugly second half. The Titans were able to handle whatever pressure the 49ers were able to put on them, offsetting their own lack of good scoring opportunities to hold on for a 1-0 victory. “I think our defense was pretty solid tonight, obviously, with the shutout. Long Beach was putting more and more players up top, and we just kept knocking it back at them,” Stuart said. The Titans will look to generate a winning streak when they hit the road next weekend to play at UC Santa Barbara on Sunday.

Cal State Fullerton volleyball was unable to end a two-game losing streak, falling to UC Davis Saturday afternoon in a hardfought four sets. “I think we were looking forward to the fifth set so much that we forget we were still in a set,” said sophomore outside hitter Madeline Schneider. A fifth and final set appeared to be imminent after Schneider got her 17th kill of the game, leading to a set point for the Titans with a three-point advantage over the Aggies, 2421. Fullerton was unable to finish off UC Davis after the Aggies rattled off three straight points to tie the game at 24 before taking the set 30-28. Schneider started the match slow with just one kill in the first. The Titans all together had a rough start to the match, finishing the first set with eight kills and hitting at a clip of .148. Schneider went on to finish the game with a team-high 18 kills alongside a .385 hitting percentage. On the other side of the court, the Aggies could not have asked for a better start

to the game. Junior Aima Eichie tallied six kills on six attempts giving her a perfect hitting percentage. The Aggies combined for 19 kills with a .516 hitting percentage, which led to the 25-16 win in the first set. Eichie finished the match with 17 kills on 24 attempts, attacking at an impressive .708 rate. Fullerton played with more intensity in the second set, showing its grit on the defensive side. The Titans limited Davis to a .341 hitting percentage with help from Shimen Fayad, who anchored the backline, putting up five digs in the second. Fullerton took the set 2522 but not without some assistance from the Aggies who had four service errors and three attacking errors. The defense of the Titans improved after the first set. However, it was not enough to stop Aggie standout freshman Lauren Matias. Matias’ 34 kills were the most in a single Big West Conference match this season, surpassing Fullerton leading hitter Fayad’s 27kill performance against UC Riverside. Davis recognized Matias had the hot hand and looked to set her up far more than the rest of her teammates. Matias had 59 hitting attempts compared to Emily Allen, who had the second most on the team with 30. After another

disappointing outing in the third set in which the Titans had just nine kills with a dismal hitting percentage of .079, they came out in the fourth set unphased. CSUF battled back and forth with the Aggies in a set that had eight tie scores and two lead changes. Schneider put up eight kills and freshman Meagan Carlson added four, combining for 12 of the Titans’ 17 total kills in the fourth while attempting to push Davis to a fifth set. The Titans had two more set point opportunities to end the fourth and force a fifth set but did not show the composure needed to stave off a talented hitting team. “The fourth set was a mental breakdown more than physical,” said Head Coach Ashley Preston. “Once (the Aggies) got the momentum they knew what to do with it.” Fullerton is now 6-12 on the season with a 1-3 record in the Big West Conference after losing three straight. The Titans will look to bounce back Friday night when they face Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Saturday night when they match up against UC Santa Barbara. “We went to four sets this time, which was nice, instead of being swept by bigger teams in the past,” Schneider said. “It definitely shows growth. We just need to get ahead in that first set.”
