DTBRIEFS DUI driver causes car pile-up Five people were injured in a suspected DUI crash in Fullerton Saturday morning, according to KTLA. Three cars were involved in the accident which occurred after 2 a.m. at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Gilbert Street. The male driver of a Honda Accord was traveling westbound on Commonwealth at high speeds, possibly under the influence.

He crashed into a Dodge Challenger and a Toyota Camry, which were at a red light.

The 21-year-old driver was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition. Both the driver and passengers in the Camry and Challenger were taken to a hospital for minor injuries.

The crash is currently under investigation by Fullerton police.

Royce, Murdock fight for congressional seat Residents set to elect 39th district representative.

MARI FIVE MEGAN MAXEY CHRIS SHEATS Daily Titan Residents of California’s 39th congressional district will be faced with a decision between Incumbent representative Ed Royce (R) and Brett Murdock (D) in November.

Historically Republican, the 39th district voted a majority Democrat for the first time in more than 30 years in the 2016 primary elections.

Royce said this will not change the way he campaigns or the way he plans to represent the district.

“The Washington Post did a ranking of the 435 members of Congress, and I was ranked no. 3 in terms of effectiveness,” Royce said.

“One of the things they pointed out was that I had the ability to work across the aisle to get a lot of legislations through.”

Murdock is a long-time resident of the district who teaches American Government at Cal State Fullerton and practices law in Brea.

He believes he will bring something new to the table if elected to Congress.

“I don’t think I am going to change the world in two years, but ... I am going to work hard and fight hard for this district, specifically this district, the 700,000 people that live in this district, and try and bring the tax dollars that we send to Washington D.C. back home to fix freeway overpasses or build train stations,” Murdock said.

Both candidates have invested over $2.5 million in this year’s campaign, in hopes of representing the people of Fullerton, Brea, Placentia, La Habra, Yorba Linda, Rowland Heights, Hacienda Heights, Walnut, Chino Hills, Diamond Bar and parts of Anaheim.

If elected, the candidates will not only have the

responsibility of representing District 39’s views, they will also have to deal with national problems as a part of the House of Representatives.

The incumbent, Royce, is chair of the foreign affairs committee in the House.

“Because of my focus on making certain that we have partners on both sides of the aisle when I move my bills, we have been able to move legislation like the global anti-poaching act,” Royce said. “Many of the bills to stop trafficking have been in a particular interest of mine, but we have also been able to advance legislation from a direction of trying to figure out on conflict resolutions.”

Editorial

- BRETT MURDOCK Lawyer, Professor of American Givernment Despite Royce’s time and accomplishments in the house, Murdock believes he can be beaten.

“Ed Royce is tough to beat, he has been there for quite a while. But the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) showed me some numbers that made me think that this could be done, so I went for it,” Murdock said.

Many of the students at CSUF will be voting in their first or second elections.

These candidates both think they will be the best to represent the students on this campus.

“They should vote for me because I match their values,” Murdock said. “I’m in favor of pathways to citizenship and immigration reform, and he is against it. I am in favor of doing everything the federal government can to make college education debt free and more affordable for students, and he is not. I am in favor of protecting a woman’s right to choose, and he is not. I am in favor of supporting people’s right to marry whomever they want, he is not. Those are just a couple of issues that I would like to think match the younger generations of this country.”

Royce not only believes he will represent the students well, but said he offers them opportunities.

“The great thing about representing CSUF is that I am able to hold a lot of functions on the campus because it is in my district ... I am involved in a lot of the activities on the campus, in terms of different forums ... It provides me the ability to interact with the students.” Royce said. “A lot of my employees actually are from Cal State Fullerton, including many of the interns who work both in our office here and our office in Washington D.C. In addition to the work in Washington (D.C.), we also have the foreign affairs committee that I chair, so I funnel many of the CSUF interns through that program, so they get a chance to work on foreign policy issues, whether it is with the Asian sub-committee, Africa sub-committee, Middle-East, and I think they enjoy it.”

Crash in Palm Springs affects 44 A tour bus crashed into the back of a semi truck, killing 13 and injuring 31 early Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

The crash occurred when 44 passengers were returning back to Los Angeles after going on a casino trip as their bus crashed just north of a desert resort town in Palm Springs.

“The speed of (the) bus was so significant that the trailer itself entered about 15 feet into the bus ... You can see it was a substantial impact,” said Jim Abele, California Highway Patrol Border, to the Associated Press.

The CHP officer said most of the passengers were asleep when the crash happened at 5:17 a.m. and that the 1996 bus did not have seat belts.

Museum to be replaced by condos The Newport Beach Planning Commission passed a unanimous vote Thursday to replace the Orange County Museum of Art with a 100-unit luxury condominium near Newport Center at 850 San Clemente Drive, according to the OC Register.

There is talk amongst museum officials of relocating the Orange County Museum of Art with new building plans near Segerstrom Center for the Arts to accommodate all of the museum’s holdings.

The opposition managed to collect 923 signatures on a petition to stop it.

Before the condominium project is finalized, an amendment must be made to change the land use from multi-unit residential to private institutional.

Fitzgerald, Bennett run for office Three Fullerton CIty Council seats are up for reelection.

ASHLYN RAMIREZ Daily Titan Fullerton Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald held a campaign event Thursday supporting Larry Bennett as, both are running for seats in Fullerton City Council.

The event was hosted

by Chairman of Economic Development Commission and former President of Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, Gary Graves, and was held at a RiteLoom store in Anaheim.

The minimum suggested donation for the event was $100 and the highest was $2,500. Fullerton residents, Mayors Dick Ackerman and Dick Jones and former City Councilman Pat Mckinley were all in attendence. The two spoke to a small crowd that packed the back of the store.

There are three seats up for reelection this year and there are eight candidates running for the seats. Fitzgerald was first elected to the city council in 2012 and elected as Mayor pro-tem for 2014-15.

The issues both candidates focus on are public safety, such as 9-11 response times, rebuilding roads and infrastructures, revitalizing public parks and the rebranding of the Fullerton Police Department since the aftermath of the murder of homeless man by the Fullerton PD. “(The incident) created really a very negative image of our department,” Bennett said.

However, it brought about needed changes for Fullerton PD, he said.

“Our police department is a completely different police department than it was in 2012,” Fitzgerald said.

While Kelly Thomas is the biggest high profile case of 2012 for Fullerton PD, which the OC Register reported was eventually settled for $4.9 million, Fullerton City Council also settled a case of a mentally ill man dying in police custody for $500,000 in 2011, according to the minutes of a 2016 Fullerton City Council meeting.

Both Bennett and Fitzgerald focused on the changes the police department has made since 2012, such as hiring a new police chief and 50 reforms in the wake of the Kelly Thomas tragedy. The fallout resulted in requiring officers to wear body cams.

“We have strengthened and reformed our police

department,” Fitzgerald said.

Bennett said it is important to support local policemen for public safety and to continue to train them to better help with mental health issues and homelessness.

Bennett said he also wants to preserve the quality of life in the city of Fullerton. To him, education is key, and it helps better people’s lives.

As a former president of Fullerton Sunrise Rotary and a scout leader, Bennett is always looking to stay involved in Orange County.

He attended Long Beach State, earning a master’s and bachelor’s degree while one of his sons graduated from Cal State Fullerton.

Bennett said the price of college has gone way up since when he was getting his education.

“We’ve sort of federalized student loans and kind of made it the norm that everyone get a student loan,” Bennett said.

Bennett said that the more lending programs have tried to help students, the more it has put students in debt and wants states to give college more funds from state revenues.

Bennet does not consider himself a politician and through his experience as a planning commissioner, he wants to give back to the community, according to his website.

His experience on other Fullerton commissions and committees is what he said sets him apart from others who want the council seat.

Bennett said he always makes time for extracurricular activities that can benefit the community, which he said “broadens your life out, giving it a sense of purpose.”

One of Bennett’s biggest stances is pension reform.

“As a certified financial planner, I speak pension,” Bennett said.

Because of the recession in 2007-08, there was a depressing impact on all sources of revenue for city budgets.

Since finance is his background, pension reform is right up his alley, and pensions have been taking up a big part of Fullerton’s budget. Bennett said he hopes to help with that.

During their speech together, Fitzgerald emphasized the importance of Bennett getting one of the three spots along with herself. The two have been acquainted since Fitzgerald was younger, Bennett said.

“I need someone who will collaborate with me to find solutions, sitting

Fullerton Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald (left) and Larry Bennett (right) held a campaign event in Anahiem Thursday. Fitzgerald and Bennett are both running for the three seats up for reelection on Fullerton City Council this November.

in that backroom making what are some of the most important decisions that we make, and Larry’s the guy I trust to be there,” Fitzgerald said.

Both city council hopefuls’ lists of endorsements are lengthy and include the likes of Congressman Ed Royce and Assemblywoman Young Kim. Their endorsements and campaigning together shows that both hold a similar agenda that they want to accomplish for the city.

Bennett and Fitzgerald acknowledged that though Fullerton is out of its rut, there’s still a long way to go.

The two candidates main focus is to further develop and revitalize Fullerton while maintaining a hometown feel.

Fitzgerald, a Biola University graduate, has a long background in public affairs and communications. She is not only a Fullerton City Council member, but an active member in her community, a mother and works at a public relations firm.

Fitzgerald’s place of employment is not listed on her website, but she has been a vice president of Curt Pringle and Associates while also being involved with Fullerton City Council. Pringle is a former mayor of Anaheim and a well known politician who has been known for his lobbyist ties as early as 2002, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Whether Fitzgerald holds any bias while

serving Fullerton due to her employer has been questioned in the past, according to local outlets such as the Voice of OC and other various Orange County editorial blogs.

However, Fullerton City Council minutes show that Fitzgerald had removed herself once from a council meeting due to a conflict of interest because of her employer in the past year.

Fitzgerald is a member of multiple organizations, such as the Fullerton Woman’s Club and the Annual Fullerton Women’s Leadership Forum.

She also works with the Fullerton Arboretum.

As a member of the Coast to Coast foundation which aids homeless individuals and helps foster care, her stance on homelessness in Fullerton is clear.

“I’ve worked really hard over the last four years on ending homelessness in our community,” Fitzgerald said.

After taking steps to end homelessness in the county through a permanent homeless shelter currently being built in Anaheim and providing the county with homeless liaison officers, Fullerton City Council is continuing their focus on fixing up the streets.

There’s 300 miles of roads in Fullerton that need to be paved, and both Fitzgerald and Bennett are focusing on this.

Another project in the works is the revamping of the city’s public

transportation, Fitzgerald said.

Due to the high volume of students commuting and not enough parking on campuses, ordinances during City Council sessions were passed along Commonwealth Avenue, Acacia Park, Chapman Park and Malden Ave, restricting parking times in hopes of freeing up parking for residents.

The passing of these ordinances have further hindered college students in the area.

CSUF is crippled by its parking problem, but Fitzgerald wants to make life a little easier for students and possibly change its status as a commuter campus.

Fitzgerald wants to work with Metrolink and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to start providing students access to a shuttle that would run every 15 minutes five days a week.

Not only would this help with traffic woes, but it would help with the parking problem for both CSUF students and residents surrounding the campus, Fitzgerald said.

“I would love to be able to create the kind of community around the campus that students could actually call home,” Fitzgerald said.

This past year, City council has also been working to establish new apartment complexes in the city, along with a plan for an affordable housing project along Orangethorpe Avenue and Santa Fe

Avenue. Fitzgerald also wants to partner with the university in order to provide more housing for students.

Orange County is currently 60,000 units short of housing that it needs in order to house residents, Fitzgerald said.

“Our town is a CollegeTown and we need to continue to have a strong partnership with the university,” Fitzgerald said.

Working with the schools is a big aim for the future for both city council hopefuls.

Whether new apartment plans are going to make living in Fullerton any more affordable has yet to be seen.

Revitalizing roads, along with dealing with irrigation problems due to the drought, balancing the budget and fixing local parks have been on Fullerton minute dockets for all of 2016. Fitzgerald said that she plans to continue focusing on these issues.

Fitzgerald said being engaged is vital and wants to be a part of the solution.

“Women wear so many different hats, all in one day,” Fitzgerald said.

She said that women can be underestimated in politics pretty easily.

“I kind of feel like, ‘underestimate me at your own peril’ because I know what I want to accomplish. I’m a consensus builder, and a collaborator. I’m not just on city council to take up room. I really want to get things done,” Fitzgerald said.

TSU expansion unveiled at opening ceremony ASI showcases work on new addition on Thursday.

JACQUELINE LINDENBERG Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton officially celebrated the new and modern Titan Student Union expansion with a grand opening ceremony this past Thursday.

The ribbon cutting ceremony, where CSUF President Mildred Garcia gave a speech, which welcomed not only students but also local legislatures and past students leaders.

The brand new addition to the already existing

TSU had a soft opening a week before the grand opening to test out all of its functions, such as the lights and sliding doors.

The beginning of the new expansion began with an idea brought by the Associated Students Inc. (ASI), a nonprofit organization run by students.

“We did not raise any fees at all for the students to build it,” said Laila Dadabhoy, chief communications officer for ASI. ASI was not only involved with bringing about the idea of the expansion, it also worked closely with architects on making proposals for the look and feel of the addition, which the architects

then offered designs to try and match.

“We wanted to create a space that was big and primarily geared towards serving students so that they would have a space to be comfortable and enjoy the outlets, the grand staircase,” Dadabhoy said.

With a large population of students on campus, providing additional space for studies or even catching up with friends was essential.

“To have that extra expansion where the space is 90 percent dedicated to serving students would really be helpful to our campus and a way to bring people together,” Dadabhoy said.

During the midday hours, students filled every level of the new TSU expansion, including the grand staircase.

“I definitely see a lot of people in here, so I think for future years it’s going to be often used,” said Roland Garcia, finance major and fourthyear student at CSUF. “I think it’s a good addition to have for more students to have a place to study or hang out.”

The grand ceremony celebrated the success of the new addition and the positive student reaction to the space.

“It’s really exciting to see so many different students here who are just really happy about the

idea of an expansion of our new union. It didn’t have to raise any student fees. It was all done through cash, so our students can rest easy knowing that their money is going toward them and not anything else,” said Justin Klyczek, ASI elections commissioner and student-at-large for the Titan Student Center’s governing board.

With an addition of 27,000 square feet, the expansion contains a comfortable environment for students, faculty and visitors.

“I think it has a living room environment, but I think even more there is a lot more potential for TED talks, for

performances, even educational spaces. I can see a future classroom being here. I think that would just take us all out of the classroom environment to a more holistic approach to learning,” said super senior Willie Homes, who works for ICA, an association that promotes cultural awareness.

The ceremony brought in locals and alumni, offering an opportunity to take part in a historic moment at CSUF, from heart-warming speeches spoken by Garcia to raining confetti to the official ribbon cutting.

“It’s wonderful to be able to come to a campus where everybody is so unified over one thing,” Klyczek said.

PROPOSITIONS Prop 53 addresses high revenue bonds

PAGE 4 OCTOBER 24, 2016 MONDAY

ASHLYN RAMIREZ Daily Titan Proposition 53 is a ballot initiative and constitutional amendmendment designed to give power back to the voters. Focusing on revenue bonds, the constitutional amendment would require any statewide project that’s over $2 million to be submitted for voter approval.

Not only will voter approval be needed, but a full disclosure will have to be submitted for that project as well. The kind of impact this would ultimately have will vary by the state, according to the CA voter guide.

There isn’t much that voters usually vote on that actually costs a significant amount of money, but there’s two large California projects that fall under this category.

Cal State Fullerton assistant professor of political science Meriem Hodge, Ph.D., said that this proposition will currently only do something with the San Joaquin River Delta and the California High Speed Rail.

“Essentially what (Republicans) are doing is a political move, because the Democrats control the state legislature,” Hodge said.

Officials who are against this proposition include Gov. Jerry Brown.

The bullet train and the river delta are his legacies as the governor of California, and he would give

an arm and a leg in order to stop this proposition, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Advocates against the measure say that this proposition actually undermines government

justice and chair of the Division of Politics Administration and Justice at CSUF, elaborated that in order for the proposition to get onto the ballot, a large sum of money is required.

“

Prop 53 requires statewide voter approval before any revenue bonds can be issued or sold by the state for certain projects if the bond amount exceeds $2 billion.

“

Statewide vote may be required for projects exceeding $2 billion.

VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE California Secretary of State website control, and also provides a loophole that would leave open to interpretation what would happen to the state in the event of a natural disaster.

Stacy Mallicoat, Ph.D., professor of criminal

Not only are funds required to back the proposition, but signatures are integral as well.

“The number of signatures you need is based on a percentage of voter turnout from the previous

election,” Mallicoat said.

To collect all the signatures, it costs campaigns about $2 million.

“Most of the propositions are not coming from individual citizens, they are coming from special interest groups,” Hodge said.

In the end, this is just a way to try and stifle voter turnout itself by blocking things that they don’t want to happen, Hodge said.

For California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, when it comes down to all financing and campaign contributions, it’s a simple solution.

“Voters have a right to know,” Padilla said about transparency in measures.

Proposition 53 advocate Marie Brichetto explained in an email that

the measure doesn’t actually stop any project and that multiple states already implement some sort of voter approval for projects, such as Oregon, Arkansas, Arizona and Washington.

The proposition is essentially giving power to the voters so they can see exactly where their tax money goes, taking away from the government’s abilities to spend.

If Proposition 53 doesn’t go through, then the state can continue to use revenue bonds without voter approval.

It’s also important to remember that bonds are loans, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Voters have to decide whether it’s a good investment for the future or if it is a bad idea that the plug should be pulled on.

Prop 63 backers fight for gun regulations JACQUELINE LINDENBURG Daily Titan In the aftermath of the various gun related tragedies in places like Sandy Hook, San Bernardino and Orlando, Proposition 63 has the potential to dramatically change California’s gun and ammunition laws.

Proposition 63 is titled “Firearms.

Ammunition Sales. Initiative Statute.” It focuses on the sale and acquisition of firearms.

The description summary from the California Secretary of State website states that the proposition will require individuals purchasing ammunition to pass a background check with the Department of Justice. It will also prohibit the possession and the disposal of large capacity magazines

that can carry more than 10 rounds as well as require most ammunition sales to be done through professional vendors and reported to the California Department of Justice.

The proposed change to the background check requirement seeks to fill the cracks in the system that allow people to bypass the Department of Justice, who under the current law only requires a background check for individuals who are purchasing a firearm.

The proposition does not only affect ammunition sales. If it passes, then further restrictions will be added to firearm ownership, directly impacting access to guns.

“The idea is that if you reduce the availability of firearms, and particularly firearms that are in a secondary market, there will be less gun violence,” said Jay Wachtel, CSUF professor and former Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Agent.

The proposition also prohibits those convicted of stealing firearms from having the ability to possess firearms. Those prohibited individuals must be re-

even ammunition, are generally purchased by people who can still be able to legally purchase firearms and ammunition,” Wachtel said.

“

Prop 63 requires background check and Department of Justice authorization to purchase ammunition. Prohibits possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines.

Establishes procedures for enforcing laws prohibiting firearm possession by specified persons. Requires Department of Justice’s participation in federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

“

Background checks, ammunition purchases are addressed.

VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE California Secretary of State website ported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System by the California Department of Justice and requires the lost or stolen firearms to be immediately reported to law enforcement.

“The underlying problem is that guns that fall into the hands of criminals, or

Questions arise on whether the proposition is a step in the right direction to protect Americans or if it is an attack on a citizen’s rights.

“One step that I think a lot of folks may have heartburn over is the making of the large capacity magazines completely illegal.

There are a lot of firearm enthusiasts who like the larger capacity magazines,” Wachtel said.

Proposition 63 is formed from the legislation titled the “Safety For All Act of 2016,” which was proposed

by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom. “Prop. 63 is California voters’ chance to save lives and stand up to the NRA,” according to the Safety For All website.

On the opposing side, some view the proposition as more of a danger than a legislative rescue. “(Prop. 63) threatens to criminalize law-abiding Californians and restrict their ability to protect themselves and their families,” according to the Coalition for Civil Liberties website, a group formed together in opposition to Proposition 63.

From 2002 to 2013, 38,576 people in the state of California have died from the result of gun violence, according to the Safety For All webite.

The ballot proposition addresses the rate of crime and deaths due to firearms.

“If high-capacity firearms pose a distinct threat to the safety and wellbeing of law enforcement officers–the odds become even more ominous for civilians,” said CSUF professor Robert Castro via email.

If the proposition is passed, there will be an increase cost in state courts, local courts and law enforcement. Some other new costs would be a $50 certificate to purchase firearms.

Increased costs to purchase and wait for ammunition offers a potential way to make the process of acquiring ammo less appealing.

“Prop. 63 will prove controversial to many people but requiring accountability in the acquisition, conveyance and modification of firearms (even if it’s limiting high capacity weapons) is important,” Castro said via email.

PROPOSITIONS Prop 64 proposes legal marijuana

PAGE 5 MONDAY OCTOBER 24, 2016

Supporters advocate for legal recreational cannabis use.

SARAH WOLSTONCROFT Daily Titan

Proposition 64 faces the issue of marijuana legalization for recreational use among adults over 21 in California.

A “Yes” vote supports allowing adults 21 and older to legally grow, possess and use marijuana for recreational purposes. The state would regulate recreational marijuana businesses and handle cultivation and retail taxes for the sale of both medicinal and recreational marijuana, according to the Official Voter Information Guide.

A “No” vote supports keeping cultivation, possession and recreational use of marijuana illegal. Growing, possession and use of medical marijuana would remain legal in California, according to the Official Voter Information Guide.

Taxes Proposition 64 aims to create two new taxes that would affect cultivation and retail sale of recreational marijuana.

Growers would be taxed $9.25 per ounce for dried flowers (the commonly smoked part of the plant) and $2.75 per ounce for dried leaves.

Consumers would also face a 15 percent tax on the retail price of marijuana.

Most medical marijuana dispensaries in California currently have $35 and $50 donation caps for 3.5 grams, or an eighth of marijuana plants, said Patrick McNeal, former criminal defense attorney and marijuana industry consultant. McNeal predicts that legalization will cause numbers to fluctuate.

“I think you’re going to find, like cigarettes and alcohol, the price is going to be higher, a large percentage of it is going to be taxes and regulatory costs, and in that model, the quality is going to be down because people are going to mass produce,” McNeal said.

Proponents in favor of a “Yes” vote say that the taxes within the measure would fund education and treatment programs and provide “an environment where marijuana is safe, controlled and taxed,” according to the Official Voter Information Guide.

Opponents in favor of a “No” vote are concerned about medical marijuana patients being taxed, marijuana advertisements airing, small marijuana farmers in northern California losing business and taxation increasing the black market.

“I don’t think it is going to increase the black market, but I don’t think it is going to reduce it. We have had an underground market here thriving in a fairly large scale for 40 years,” McNeal said. “I personally think that there’s going to be people, that once they realize they have to go through the regulation

and taxes and it’s going to impact their profit margin, you’re going to see they just want to stay underground.”

Revenue Revenue would depend on city and county compliance, federal enforcement and how marijuana prices and consumption would be affected by the measure.

Analysts in the Official Voter Information Guide estimate that revenue may reach numbers in the millions or possibly even hit close to the $1 billion mark like Colorado. However, they predict that revenue would not be as high in the first several years while businesses begin to establish.

“I think we’re going to far surpass Colorado. We have about seven times as many people as far as population,” said Kandice Hawes-Lopez, executive director for OC NORML. “People thought that Colorado was big business.

Wait until it gets going with California. As long as we don’t have push back from our bureaucrats, I think we can grow even larger than Colorado.”

According to the proposition, $2 million per year would be given to the UC San Diego Center for Medical Cannabis Research to study medical marijuana. $10 million per year for 11 years would be given to public California universities to research and evaluate the implementation and impact of Proposition 64.

$3 million per year for five years would be given to the California Highway Patrol to study marijuana-related driving impairment and future plans for enforcement. $10 million, increasing each year by $10 million until reaching $50 million in 2022, would be given to community nonprofits who support rehabilitation, job placement, mental and medical healthcare and legal services.

The remaining revenue would be divided with 60 percent going to youth programs featuring drug education, prevention and treatment; 20 percent to tackle environmental issues that have resulted from the underground marijuana industry and 20 percent to study safety issues like impaired driving, which may arise with the passing of the proposition.

Legal Ramifications Currently, possession of one ounce or less of marijuana is punishable by a $100 fine and selling marijuana for nonmedical purposes is punishable by four years in jail or prison.

Ballotpedia.org estimates that tens of millions of dollars would be saved if Proposition 64 were to pass.

“To some extent, if it’s legitimized and we find that we are dealing with civil enforcement instead of criminal enforcement, it’s got to be a savings to the penal and court system to some extent,” McNeal said.

McNeal said that unlike Colorado, California has already

lessened enforcements of soft drugs over the last five years.

“Certainly the savings would be that level if you compare it to what they were spending five years ago, but they pretty much toned that down,” McNeal said. “When you see a raid of a dispensary, most of the time the officers are not arresting the employees, they’re citing them with tickets and they’re citing the business and that’s handled civilly or a little more informally.”

Another component to the proposition states that cities and counties will have the discretion to allow or restrict the sale of marijuana in their jurisdictions. However, possession will no longer be able to be reprimanded criminally.

“If the county doesn’t want you to have it there, you’re going to have to be able to go across county lines and buy your flowers there,” McNeal said. “The big deal is you’ll no longer be criminally liable if you’ve got it in your possession while you’re there, so long as it is for personal use ... You can’t market it, you can’t distribute it but you can have it for your own use.”

Hawes also added that if counties choose not to allow retail sales, their law enforcement will not benefit from tax revenue.

People under the age of 18 caught in possession of marijuana will be required to attend a drug education or counseling programs and complete

community service.

Effect on the Industry Legalization of marijuana in California would affect the thriving medical marijuana industry and small name brands that have developed out of it, including the livelihoods of growers and cultivators.

“This (proposition) is going to legitimize what has previously been an underground industry,” McNeal said.

While Proposition 64 restricts big businesses from getting involved in the industry for five years, opponents of the proposition fear that legalization will inevitably lead to big business and the destruction of small grows, taking jobs and pride of the product away from the industry.

Hawes and McNeal both likened the marijuana industry to the alcohol industry, whose big brands are more popular but less personalized than their private brewery counterparts.

McNeal said that in Butte County, growers on average have about 10 to 20 plants whereas the introduction of big business would lead to 500 to 2,000 plants.

“Most of these growers are proud of what they’ve got and they develop names and reputations, and that’s how that industry thrives and that’s how you can be relatively sure of quality control. That’s going to go away with the big grows … It’s going to affect the culture,” McNeal said.

state.

Tasha Reign, a current sex-worker and writer in the porn industry, stands in opposition to Proposition 60 with other porn stars.

“This man (Michael Weinstein) from outside our business is coming in and saying, ‘I have the right to tell you (a woman) what you are going to do during sex. You are going to wear a rubber because I decided to mandate that,’” Reign said.

Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), has helped the organization grow since 1986 to be the largest global AIDS organization.

The AHF is a strong supporter of Proposition 60.

A “Yes” on Proposition 60 will stop the adult film industry from exposing the performers to life-threatening diseases by using

taxpayer’s dollars. Voting “No” on Proposition 60 would prevent any Californian from suing adult film performers that violate their privacy, weaken workplace safety or distribute and produce adult content, according to the Voter Information Guide.

William Marelich, Ph.D., a psychology professor at CSUF, stated why people would vote “Yes” and “No” on the proposition. Marelich has studied health and social psychology and HIV/AIDS for many years.

“Based on my read, a civil suit could be filed by any resident of California and they could try to seek damages against the pornography producers,” Marelich said.

If a resident does file a suit, they could request Cal/ OSHA to address some

alleged adult industry workplace health and safety violations. If Cal/OSHA does not take immediate action, the resident could file a civil action against the adult film producer/performer. If the individual wins, he or she would receive their legal costs and 25 percent of any penalties paid by the defendant in such a lawsuit, with the rest being paid by the state, according to the California Voter’s guide.

Marelich’s 20 years of HIV/AIDs research gives him an understanding of why AHF wants to pass Proposition 60. Condoms are the best option to ensure people do not only get HIV/ AIDs, but also other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), Marelich said.

According to Ryan Driller, another sex worker, on average, the footage takes

about one hour to shoot and the average experience time for condoms is 7.3 minutes, Driller said via email.

Reign and Driller both agree that due to the length and intensity of their acts, the condom would break.

The entire industry is already enforced to get tested every 10 to 14 days to ensure they do not have STIs. “In our business, we are allowed to choose to use a condom if that is what we want to do,” Reign said.

“When it comes to your body, that should be a decision that we as workers make.”

Professor Anthony DeStefano teaches a class on HIV in the Department of Health Science at CSUF. From the health perspective, there is a strong argument for disease prevention in favor of this proposition, DeStefano said

via email.

DeStanfo said, in comparison to the general pubic, adult film performers are 10 times more likely to have a sexually transmitted infection like chlamydia or gonorrhea.

“If Prop. 60 passes, it is worth considering whether the law would need to be amended at some point in the future to include other HIV prevention strategies,” DeStefano said via email.

Reign said that it is a women’s rights issue about personal choice.

“I’m working with my body. I’m doing something very specific... something that I’ve consented to, and I want it done on my terms. I don’t want some man (Michael Weinstein), from the outside, coming in and trying to tell me that he is going to mandate my body.”

Prop 60 to regulate porn industry Condoms may be mandated in adult films if passed

ELIZABETH HUMMER Daily Titan Proposition 60 is on the ballot this coming November, and if passed, it will require members of the adult film industry to use condoms while filming sexual intercourse in the state of California and require producers to pay for vaccinations, testing and medical examinations for sexually transmitted infections.

In 2012, the Measure B law was passed, which required condoms to be used in the adult film industry in Los Angeles County and with this new proposition, it could spread across the

PROPOSITIONS Prop 56 to increase tobacco tax if passed

PAGE 6 OCTOBER 24, 2016 MONDAY

JACQUELINE LINDENBERG Daily Titan Proposition 56 will contain a tax increase on tobacco in the state of California, if passed. The new tax on a pack of cigarettes and similar tobacco products would be approximately $2.

The money drawn in from the higher tax price would be set aside and used for funding healthcare, tobacco prevention/control and dental disease prevention programs. It will also be

used toward tobacco-related disease research and law enforcement, as well as University of California physician training and administration.

Currently, about 6 million people die every year due to a tobacco related illness and if the high amount of use continues, 8 million will die each year by 2030, according to the American Cancer Society.

“This is an effort to increase state funding for various programs that relate to the treatment and prevention of tobacco control,” said Joshua Yang, associate professor in the health science department at Cal State Fullerton.

This ballot proposition offers a fair chance to save lives by cutting down the potential intake of tobacco.

“

on 56 website.

If passed, the estimated revenue from the new tax would be on the low end: $1.2 billion based on the

Prop 56 increases cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack, with equivalent increase on other tobacco products and electronic cigarettes containing nicotine.

“

Supporters hope to put $2 tax on cigarettes and other products.

VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE Secretary of State website The higher tax on tobacco related products, like e-cigarettes, is a plan to divert teens from starting to pick up smoking because of a more expensive price, according to the Yes

amount of smokers and how much they smoke on average, Yang said.

However, the opposition side on the proposition believes otherwise, claiming the money brought in from

the higher tax would not go to health care programs and tobacco research, but to insurance companies instead, according to the No on Proposition 56 website.

The overall proposition is being called a 1.4 billion “tax hike grab,” according to the No on Proposition 56 website.

The proposition states that it’s goal is to save lives and reduce the amount of tobacco purchases, especially in young adults. On the other side, the revenue made by the tax hike is believed to fall into the hands of insurance companies and should instead use the revenue toward pressing state problems like schools,

drought and repairing roads, according to the No on Proposition 56 website.

The ballot proposition handles a large issue, involving not only higher tax prices on tobacco and how the revenue will be spent, but also on citizens’ health.

Whether or not the proposition will pass in the upcoming election, it will definitely depend on each voter’s belief if the tobacco tax will actually prevent the purchase of cigarettes, or on the belief that the proposition is just another added tax on California citizens.

The answer will ultimately reveal itself on election day.

Prop 59 aims to overturn Citizens United Money in politics causes controversy among Californians.

ASHLYN RAMIREZ Daily Titan One of the more controversial propositions of the election is actually only an amendment. The amendment deals directly with the overturning of Citizens United. Citizens United refers to the landmark court case in 2010 that ultimately decided that money is speech, and corporations don’t need a limit on biased political spending.

The majority of California already wants to overturn the law, according to Bloomberg, but whether it should be altered or left alone is ultimately the

voter’s decision.

In 1976, there was another landmark decision that deemed money as speech, Buckley v. Valeo.

The argument was that money’s right to speak was being limited by previous court rulings that limited political expenditures. Citizens United relies on this ruling being considered constitutional. The argument is that middle-class voters can donate to causes they like, funded by organizations, and those corporate backed organizations can speak for the middle class voter by funneling in the money that the middle class doesn’t have.

“Overturning (Citizens United), I don’t think really stifles any voices, but it may make some of the louder voices a little less loud,” said Stephen

Stambough, Ph.D., a Cal State Fullerton professor of political science.

Stambough said that big money in politics doesn’t have to be eliminated but rather regulated more closely by monitoring spending contributions and limiting organizations.

California’s District 28 State Senator Jeff Stone called the proposition a waste of time and citizen’s tax dollars, according to voter’s guide on the Secretary of State website.

The rebuttal goes on to state that the amendment wouldn’t help regulate anything at all.

However, since the argument has been considered important enough to be voted on in November, spending on election campaigns has blasted off, which made a difference

more than anyone could have imagined.

Proposition 59 only instructs members of California’s congressional delegates to work on overturning the Citizens United decision. There’s nothing that is legally binding, according to the Los Angeles Times. Thus, officials won’t get in trouble if they don’t do anything with this bill.

That same LA times article also states that there is already much support in Congress for amending Citizens United.

Another supporter for overturning Citizens United is California’s Secretary of State Alex Padilla.

“In my opinion, the Supreme Court got it wrong,” Padilla said at the Voter Outreach Event at CSUF on Sep. 27.

Others that are in support of the amendment are Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, the LA Times reported.

For Michelle Sutter, co-founder of pro-Proposition 59 group “Money Out Voters In,” what California needs to do is essentially a no-brainer, like with marriage equality after Proposition 8 was struck down in 2012.

“Here we are in 2016, and equality is the law of the land,” Sutter said.

She said she believes that voters are feeling incredibly disenfranchised due to election corruption in favor of corporate interests, and that voters are effectively being silenced today.

Cal State Fullerton assistant professor of political science Meriem Hodge,

Ph.D., said elections can essentially be bought.

“Just like you can make the argument that money is free speech and corporations are people, you can definitely make the argument that you’re essentially going to let private industry run elections,” Hodge said.

Hodge also said things have become very one-sided and Citizens United isn’t the first problem with campaign finance. It’s just the one that opened the floodgates.

“If one side is going to have a lot more money ... then it’s going to be very one-sided,” Hodge said.

Californians can decide whether they want a say in how corporations spend their money in politics with voting either “Yes” or “No” on Proposition 59.

CSUF Democrats back Clinton Liberals on campus express social and racial concerns.

EMILY DIECKMAN Daily Titan College campuses are known for being liberally-minded places. For many students at Cal State Fullerton, voting Democrat in the upcoming election seems like the only real option.

Alec Marshall, 20, is a sociology major who serves as the president of the CSUF College Democrats.

He said that addressing social inequalities among women, ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ community is one of the most important issues for him to consider in the election.

“I think it’s pretty clear that there’s only one candidate who actually knows how to address and cares to address those problems,” Marshall said.

Marshall expressed concern that if Donald Trump were to be elected, he had no idea what would happen.

“As far as policy, I have yet to see anything super serious,” Marshall said. “I just think a lot of it is like how the person in office conducts themselves.”

Marshall’s vote is going to Hillary Clinton, and he said he actually likes Clinton as a candidate.

“I think a lot people vote for who they want to have a beer with, and (Hillary) Clinton’s never been that candidate. But she’s so qualified it’s ridiculous,” Marshall said.

Jose Solano, a 28-yearold political science major, is an undocumented student from Costa Rica. Although Solano won’t be able to

vote in the upcoming election due to his citizenship status, he said he would vote for Hillary Clinton if he could, but only because he views her as the lesser of two evils.

“They claim to be pro-immigrant at the face when they’re trying to get votes but behind the scenes, they kind of have the same view as far as deportation and reviewing families,” Solano said of democrats.

Solano arrived in the U.S. with his parents and older brother when he was eight years old.

He and his brother, who was ten at the time, had tumors on their hands that were threatening to eat away at their bones.

Solano said that, for most families, the decision to come to the U.S. is not a luxury, but a matter of life or death.

In June 2012, the Obama administration passed a measure called Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA allowed people who met certain requirements (such as being under 16 when they arrived in the U.S. and under age 30 at the time of the announcement) to apply for temporary, renewable work permits and to be protected from deportation.

DACA doesn’t provide qualifying candidates with citizenship, but it simply defers prosecutorial action for a specific time period.

However, it was still beneficial for Solano and his brother, and with a Republican president in office, that could change.

“When the nominations for the Republican candidate were happening, all of the Republican candidates ran on a platform to get rid of deferred action for childhood arrivals, which is

known as DACA. Not only that, but to actively seek to deport those who had qualified for it,” Solano said.

Although Solano said he knows many people who were hesitant to apply for DACA, he did it voluntarily in order to reap the benefits, providing the government with everything from his address to his phone number. Now, he fears that the information could be used against him.

“The government, regardless of party lines right now, they gave us this right to be able to work to be able to be a part of society,” Solano said. “But now it’s like from that benefit it becomes almost like a threat.”

Doris Munoz, 22, a CSUF alumna who graduated last semester, said she was concerned about Trump’s policy regarding anchor babies. An anchor baby is a child born in the United States to undocumented parents. “(Trump) wanted to revoke our citizenship,” Munoz said. “Like we shouldn’t have our citizenship because we’re a product of illegal immigration.”

Solano said that under current immigration law, people with a criminal background or who are considered threats to society are the first to be deported.

“Under Trump, it won’t even be that. It’s like everybody that just doesn’t have the right documentation would be deported,” Solano said.

Solano has lived in Orange County his whole life, currently residing in Anaheim. He spoke about the contracts cities that some Orange County cities, such as Santa Ana, have with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in

which individuals in deportation proceedings are held in the county jail. Laws like this are made possible by section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows state or local law enforcement agencies to exercise immigration enforcement within their areas of jurisdiction.

Although the Santa Ana contract is set to end by 2020, Solano said he still lives in fear for himself and his family.

“A traffic stop or a busted taillight doesn’t just mean a busted taillight. It means ‘do you have the right documentation?’” Solano said.

According to Solano, deportation proceedings can often take upwards of a year. While these individuals wait to be deported, they are sometimes detained in the local prisons.

“And so they sit in prison like they are criminals, when it was just people who were working to provide for their families,” Solano said.

Munoz had firsthand experience with this when her brother was deported last year. Although she was born in the U.S., her older brothers came over with her parents in 1989 when they were two and six years old, respectively.

Both of her brothers were working towards gaining their residency when the younger of the two received a letter calling him into the immigration offices to sort something out.

“They surprised him with handcuffs and the first bus to TJ, so he didn’t get to say goodbye to his wife or his daughters or any of our family,” Munoz said.

Fortunately, one of the family’s relatives had moved to Tijuana just weeks before her brother’s

deportation.

“He literally would have been homeless in Mexico, and he hasn’t been to Mexico since he was two years old,” Munoz said.

It was like a nightmare come to life for Munoz, who said that the deportation of her family was something she worried about from a young age.

“Especially as a kid, for me, one of my biggest fears was that one day, I’d come home and none of my family would be there because they would all be taken away by immigration,” Munoz said. “That like one day I’d get home and they’d all be deported.”

Solano said he could hardly imagine going back to Costa Rica, because he was raised here and this is the only culture he knows.

“At least in my story, eight to 18, that’s when you grow up as an individual and you find out yourself as a person. So it’s like what else is there to go back to?

My entire life is here,” Solano said.

He feels that the election has left him powerless and frustrated, especially when his friends who are citizens don’t exercise their right to vote.

“For me, it’s really frustrating because it’s like the impact that it could have on certain individuals is massive. It could be life changing,” Solano said.

“As of next year, about 800 students who come to CSUF might not be able to anymore.”

Solano said his vote would go to Clinton if it could because part of her agenda includes a plan to create a path to citizenship for immigrants within her first 100 days of office, defend programs like DACA and fight for

Delayed Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), a bill that was deadlocked in Congress. While Solano said he is glad that he benefits from DACA, he still worries about his parents.

Marshall said that the long term effects of the next president’s term in office were a big factor as well.

“Especially since the next president is going to be able to set Supreme Court justices, I think if (Hillary) Clinton doesn’t win, it could be devastating not just for the next four years, but for a really long time to come,” Marshall said.

Solano said that he feels the media often portrays undocumented immigrants as criminals or unsafe people, and feels the consequences of it everywhere he goes, from class to the Freewill Baptist church he attends.

“They don’t recognize that the person who’s sitting next to them, the person who’s collaborating and working with them on a class assignment, or is even working for them or somebody who goes to church with them … is undocumented,” Solano said.

To undocumented students like Solano, so-called “anchor babies” like Munoz and people who feel that there should be more opportunities for minorities in the U.S., like Marshall, Clinton is the right candidate, Munoz said.

“I kind of feel bad because I feel like my parent’s life has been on hold for the past 27 years, because they’re still not documented, so they haven’t been able to fulfill their American dream,” Munoz said. “And my mom just told me this the other day that I fulfilled her American dream.”

Amanda McGuire, 19, a business finance major who serves as the vice president of the CSUF College Republicans, said she is voting for Trump, albeit reluctantly.

“People are really focused, especially during presidential elections, they get so much flash and glamor. They’re really focused on the demeanor of people, the way messages are presented and kind of the basic overall ideas,” McGuire said. “The real problems not only lie in your local politics, which directly affect you in the next two to three years, but it lies in the long term effects, the onset effects.”

Taraba said many anti-Trump people have been unable to point to specific Trump policies that they dislike. ”They just use these buzzwords. ‘Oh he’s racist,’ ‘he’s terrible,’ he’s this evil thing,’” Taraba said.

“But then they can’t cite a policy, which I think is important.”

Ted Campos, 26 a mechanical engineering graduate student, said that he had originally supported Bernie Sanders until he did some deeper digging.

“After doing my own research on what he promised, free healthcare and education, I realized that it would come at a consequence,” Campos said via email.

Trump has been widely criticized this election season for his unpolished demeanor. His supporters view this as a positive trait and believe that in an administration populated by lying politicians, Trump is a breath of fresh air.

“I identify it as a strength for him. I never want to say that the candidate having his dirt out in

front of him is good, but I think it works to his favor,” McGuire said.

Taraba agreed that Trump’s newness to the political scene, and accompanying bluntness, is a strength.

“I guess the biggest appeal would be that he’s not a politician. Like that’s pretty much the number one thing about him,” Taraba said.

Not only do some see Trump’s bluntness as a strength in the public eye, but some, like Chris Boyle, a 26-year-old business major and president of the CSUF College Republicans, believe that it would work well in Washington.

“Since he’s such an outsider candidate, he’s not like (Hillary) Clinton.

(Hillary) Clinton, as we’ve seen, she can basically do whatever she wants with impunity,” Boyle said.

For Boyle and other Trump supporters, Clinton’s ability to work around checks and balances has been demonstrated during her time as Secretary of State.

“She’s shown us her track record with foreign policy, and it just is not gonna cut it for the American people,” McGuire said.

With foreign policy playing a big role in the upcoming election, as usual, Trump supporters emphasize the importance of protecting the country’s citizens.

“Enough people have been hurt and killed through (ISIS’s) actions and I have yet to see the current president do anything about it,” Campos said.

In the coverage surrounding the candidate’s respective email and scandalous comments controversies, for Trump

supporters, it seems to boil not down to “he said, she said,” but rather to a “he said, she did.”

“Not that Trump has never lied, I’m sure he lies.

I mean he’s a businessman.

I lie a lot too,” Taraba said.

“But the thing is, my lies haven’t caused people to die. Trumps lies haven’t caused people to die either, as far as I know.”

In widespread discussions over which candidate is worse, McGuire said that for her and other Republicans, it comes down to an uncertain future with Trump versus an unacceptable one with Clinton.

“A lot the Republicans in the party are moving over because they’d rather roll the dice than take a sure bet that this country’s going down,” McGuire said.

Both political parties are concerned about the future of the nation’s Supreme Court. The next president will be responsible for the appointment of a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia, and possibly more, in the event of the death or retirement of more of the justices,in which two of them are over 80 years old.

Scalia’s careful consideration of the Constitution and only the Constitution when it came to casting his Supreme Court votes was in line with Republicans’ and Conservatives’ strict constructionist view of the document.

“I foresee definitely that with a Hillary presidency and her ability to nominate a lot of these new justices coming in, we could see potential damage for the next hundred years, if not more,” McGuire said.

In the short term, many Trump supporters feel that his experience of a businessman qualifies him to

run the nation effectively.

“In terms of allocating resources, I think he would do it in a more reasonable manner,” Taraba said.

Boyle said he respected Trump’s foresight when it came to China, and McGuire agreed that Trump’s entrepreneurship would allow him to better address the issue.

“I think that’s something he’s really able to face because of his business experience,” McGuire said. “Yes, (Clinton) was a foreign policy leader, but Trump is about saying the facts, throwing it out there.”

Taraba, who owns a software development and video production company himself, believes that Trump’s more conservative policies would benefit him and other entrepreneurs.

“Like, just because I have the business license, I get taxed for things that most people don’t have to worry about and that really sucks,” Taraba said.

Taraba felt that the number of regulations faced by entrepreneurs disincentivizes people to work hard and keep jobs in the U.S. “As a business major I’m personally scared,” McGuire said. “With (Clinton) embracing such a high tax rate that could mean a lot for homeowners business owners people that are looking to expand our economy could possibly tank as our disposable income disappears.”

Another big issue voters are facing is the question of immigration. While Trump has come under fire for statements about immigrants and his call to build a wall along the U.S./Mexico border, some of his supporters are taking what he says with a grain of salt.

Boyle said that for him,

more important than building a wall is disincentivizing illegal immigration.

“Yeah, we’re a country, we have a border. I’m not saying nobody can come in or leave, but we have a border for a reason,” Boyle said.

He and McGuire agreed that they were in favor of letting in people who want to work hard and be successful in the U.S. “It’s not about ‘oh we need to keep the people out.’ This is a great country and I’m all about letting people in legally,” McGuire said. “The Republican party is very inclusive, despite what people have framed us as. We’re not the racist haters everyone thinks we are.”

Campos said that his parents were immigrants who came to the U.S. for a better life, but that they did it the right way, according to law.

“They have accomplished that by becoming national citizens, which is a process that took my mother nearly 10 years to do while my father had a pass for joining the Army,” Campos said.

Taraba agreed that the the U.S. simply didn’t have enough resources to justify letting in so many refugees.

“Right now, we don’t have the money to pay for anything. We especially don’t have the money to pay for people who are not citizens,” Taraba said. “We can’t even pay for our own people.”

Overall, Trump’s supporters, whether reluctant or passionate, feel that he is the candidate whose policies can best address the issues they care about.

“When people are voting, they need to think about what place they want to leave for the generations to come. Because that’s the mark they’re leaving on America,” McGuire said.

GOP students look for change Republicans at CSUF back Trump’s buisness background.

EMILY DIECKMAN Daily Titan In a nation divided over which candidate is a tougher pill to swallow, there is a clear majority among college students. An Oct. 19 Quinnipac poll showed that 57 percent of people in the 18 to 34-yearold bracket would vote for Hillary Clinton (D) if the election were to be held that day, while only 20 percent would vote for Donald Trump (R).

When the millennial voter block lit up with support for Bernie Sanders, there were some in the demographic who didn’t understand why. While Sanders was hailed as a “for the people” candidate with a loving demeanor, some conservative students don’t consider personality to be the most important factor.

“What’s gonna impact you more?” asked Andrew Taraba, a 22-year old philosophy major. “The fact that he’s like a grandpa figure to you? Or the fact that his policy is going to bankrupt the country?”

Taraba said he normally identifies as a Republican, but that this election cycle has shown him that both of the major parties are equally shady.

“So I guess you would say I’m with the Trump party,” Taraba said.

For many Trump supporters, a candidate’s policies and platforms are more important than having a likable personal demeanor, and they believe that the latter has received too much focus in this year’s election.

Some stories to spook for the week of Halloween.

JACQUELINE LINDENBERG Daily Titan Scary stories–the tales of ghosts and haunting legends that scare people into turning on all the lights before bed. The spine chilling fables that leave a person believing that they are most definitely real. There is always the question of whether they are record of a real incident or just mere myth.

The answer is different with every person.

I love scary books. Ever since I was young, I enjoyed sitting down with a scary tale before bed. I remember a certain series that I was

obsessed with in elementary school, the “Goosebumps” series written by R.L. Stine.

I would run to the school library a couple times a week just to keep renting these books.

One of the books in the series, “The Headless Ghost,” still gives me chills to this day. I clearly remember finishing the book fairly quickly before bedtime and sitting wide-eyed in my room, afraid to close my eyes. I could not sleep a wink and ended up running into my parent’s room.

To get spooked the week before Halloween, snag this book for a quick and frightening read. Trust me, this book may be for kids, but a headless ghost will always have an eerie feel, especially on Halloween night.

“American Psycho” is

another great book, which has also been turned into a Hollywood film starring the charismatic and handsome Christian Bale.

This book contains the creepiest thrills and horror.

It is a tad more sophisticated than the “Goosebumps” series, but the entire plotline is very unique. The story follows Patrick Bateman, a typical businessman on Wall Street who slowly begins to exhibit that he’s actually a completely deranged psychopath.

It’s a chilling tale and if you want a more sinister story filled with dark comedy, I highly recommend this book for a little Halloween fright.

Although the overall theme is quite ominous, the bits of comedy thrown in really had me in hysterics. Of course, I felt bad for laughing due to

Bateman’s rather brutal actions, but I couldn’t help it.

For a more traditional route in the context of horror, it’s hard to go wrong with the master of literary horror, Stephen King. Some of his most popular novels include “The Shining,” “Carrie” and “Misery,” all of which have been turned into Hollywood blockbusters along with some of his other novels.

At first, I was going to try to pick one of King’s novels to recommend for a creepy and eerie story, but honestly, it was impossible to choose.

All his classic novels are amazing, and each have a uniquely disturbing quality that can only be found in his work. He has a style of writing that immediately grabs the reader and keeps one’s eyes glued to the page until

the very end.

My personal favorite is “The Shining.” I like the whole concept of the plot being at a hotel in the middle of nowhere. The film adaptation starred Jack Nicholson with his famous line, “Here’s Johnny!” If you are a reader who’s fascinated by the idea of madness and seclusion, this tale is definitely for you. The book, however, holds a more creepy feel to it because little parts taken out for a film adaptation. All the extremely disturbing bits are there to really creep the reader out.

During the Halloween season, the famously known way to get into the spirit is to watch horror movies.

However, I personally think that scary stories also have that same amount of power, and those tales don’t always

have to be fiction. There are plenty of books out there all based on real incidents.

I used to be able to handle all the real life scary stories, but lately, those accounts tend to really freak me out, so I stay a little more lowkey with the fictional ones.

Whichever route you choose to go down, getting in the Halloween spirit will be quite easy by picking up one of these books.

And by the end of the novel, you will be left hiding under your sheets with all the lights on in the house. Every creak will send chills down your spine, and the wind outside will sound like ghostly whispers. As Halloween quickly approaches, you might begin to wonder to yourself: What is fiction and what is real?

Boo! The End!

ANTHONY BAGHDADY Daily Titan Kings of Leon released their seventh studio album “WALLS” (We Are Like Love Songs) last week.

The Fallowill brothers of Kings of Leon may be one of the biggest rock bands in the world right now and in a world where music is drastically becoming electronic, rock bands are few and far between. A few heavyweights like the Foo Fighters and the Red Hot Chili Peppers remain, but they manage to stay afloat in the EDM and hip-hop obsessed industry. However, Kings of Leon is the exception. With their catchy guitar licks and lead singer Caleb Followill, they are rapidly becoming one of the most recognizable names in music.

It’s rare to hear an album with little or no electronic effects these days, and Kings of Leon takes the challenge of being one of the most popular music groups in the world without a DJ.

Rock requires a proficient guitarist, a damn good and revolutionary set of vocals, a drummer and bass guitarist, all with plenty of experience.

“WALLS” in its entirety is beautifully simple. It is no more than the lead singer, an electric guitar, a drumset and a bass. Kings of Leon are true artists who know music.

“Reverend” starts off with some slow guitar picking, as the singer is pretty calm and weaves his voice in and out of the beat that is tossed back and forth between the guitar and the drums. When the chorus hits, the driving beat shifts to half time to further differentiate the change. The result is a very versatile song that can listened to in just about every setting.

“Around the World” seems like something The Rolling Stones, would have written back in their day featuring an upbeat sound that reminds listeners of a sunny California day. “Find Me” has a very cool intro. It starts out with a smooth riff on the upper registers of the fretboard on electric guitar and then evolves into a tune that everyone will be shaking

their heads to.

A more mellow, but equally impressive electric guitar sequence is found in the intro of “Conversation Piece.” Anyone searching for an notable lead guitarist, should look no further than Matthew Followill of Kings of Leon.

The best song of the album is by far “Eyes on You.” That’s not to say it detracts from the quality of the rest of the album, but it is just a really good song that makes it difficult not to feel something while listening. It may not be the type of song to make listeners tear up during a sad movie, but it probably will bring back a cherished memory like prom night, a first college party or a date with an old boyfriend or girlfriend.

It’s hard to find anything to change about the song. The bass guitar is on point and the singer knows exactly what he’s doing. The guitarist kills it through the entire song, especially on the solo as solos are a rarity these days that should not be take for granted.

The best artists are able to evoke feeling and when listening to Kings of Leon, it is hard to focus on

Mildred Loving feel incredibly grounded with softly understated performances by Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton, respectively. There are no long-winded monologues to make the characters seem more heroic or bigger-thanlife. Instead, they are portrayed as normal people, who through their love for each other, end up making an impact in the ongoing struggle of civil rights.

Simplicity is the film’s greatest asset. Many details that may sound minor on paper add up to an effective sense of mood.

For example, the way that “Loving” sounds is just as important as how it looks.

From the very beginning of the film, a closeup of the two main leads, Mildred Loving and Richard Loving speaking with one another not only effectively sets up their relationship but the auditory soundscape of the scene as well. With no traditional soundtrack or score, the ambience set by the crickets of the countryside gives the audience a chance to soak up not only the visuals but the audio as well.

Perhaps the most effective use of sound is in a scene where the couple

is sleeping peacefully in their bed, suddenly to be jolted awake by authorities looking to bring them to supposed justice. It creates a dissonance that is both shaking and unnerving as the scene builds from very little sound to a shocking rush of breaking doors and shouting voices.

The dialogue could almost be considered sparse.

None of the character’s tended to string more than a couple of sentences together at any given point in time. While this may be off-putting to some viewers who are used to dramas being a bit more dialogue-heavy, it allows the filmmakers and cinematographers to do what film has always done best: frame a story emotionally within the lens of a camera.

The audience is required to watch the characters and how they act as opposed to every emotion being telegraphed. It is a level of subtlety that is often lost in the Hollywood lust for creating an Oscar contender.

If there were any flaws worth mentioning, it is that many of the characters beyond the main leads come across as rather one-dimensional. The

lawyer, who becomes attached to their case, never feels like much more than quirky comic relief, often shown as being a bit naive and hopelessly optimistic. These would be larger issues in a film with a broader scope, but “Loving” keeps its direction so intimate that it is just a minor scuff on a beautifully constructed film.

Everything about “Loving” from a technical perspective is washed in an old Hollywood love for simplicity in storytelling. The fact that director Jeff Nichols chose to tell this story so well will make some audiences feel nostalgic of the good old days.

Civil rights have come a long ways since the time of Mr. and Mrs. Loving but that does not detract from the importance of their story. “Loving” has all that it takes to be an Oscar contender for best motion picture, something both Loving’s would have never even considered in their time – that their story would continue to inspire to this very day, not just in the literal historical sense but also through Nichols’ finely crafted piece of art.

The greatest asset that the film “Loving” has is its simplicity and intimate direction. It is old-fashioned filmmaking at its classiest.

‘Loving’ is a lovely motion picture

Film tackles the troubles of prejudice with solid direction.

KALEB STEWART Daily Titan

Occasionally, there is a film that has the courage to let its visuals speak louder than its words, which is especially difficult with important subject matters such as racial prejudice.

“Loving” directs its material with the sort of confidence that is rare in dramatic filmmaking, especially those that are based on real events.

There isn’t a moment that feels too verbose, as though the characters have to spill out every emotion they are feeling. The sound design, performances and tight script deliver the story without being showy about it. The film is old-fashioned cinema at its classiest.

The movie is based on a true story of a court case concerning an interracial couple who were no longer able to live in their home in Virginia because their marriage was seen as illegal.

OPINION Media prefers scandals over policy

PAGE 9 OCTOBER 24, 2016 MONDAY

News coverage aims focus on personality, leaving voters lost.

SARAH WOLSTONCROFT Daily Titan With issues like the Syrian refugee crisis, the growing threat of ISIS and domestic issues in healthcare and unemployment, it is unacceptable that the media’s 2016 election coverage has turned a blind eye to policy and instead anchored itself in sensationalism, scandals and smear campaigns, distracting voters from issues that really matter.

With more attention placed on controversies such as the FBI’s short lived investigation into Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 emails to the numerous vulgar comments Donald Trump has

made concerning women, there is a huge lack of understanding within the public on specific plans to rectify the actual issues our country needs answers to.

Online media outlets frequently grab readers attention with clickbait headlines like, “Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton Email Scandal ‘Worse Than Watergate’” from Time Magazine, and “Donald Trump has given locker rooms everywhere a bad name,” from the Washington Post.

Is the reputation of locker room conversations more important for voters to understand than policy initiatives concerning the security of our country and the wellbeing of our citizens?

Absolutely not.

The focus on sensationalist stories can be especially damaging for millennial voters who consume most of their news on

social media where the drama of this election season thrives.

In a study called “The Personal News Cycle” by the American Press Institute, The Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center for Public Affairs Research, they found that 88 percent of millennials get their news from Facebook.

Due to the insufficient coverage of this election, American voters tend to value candidate’s personality over policy because “it reinforces their sense of self and belonging to a social group, even though they may lose out in the longer term because of policies with which they disagree,” according to a study in cognitive sciences at Duke University.

The crazy scandals plaguing every news source do nothing to inform voters on how candidate’s policies will impact

implementations on social reform or foreign decisions and will instead encourage individuals to vote for the most or least outrageous candidate based on the quirks of their own personalities.

Despite a Pew Research Poll showing that registered voters find the economy and terrorism to be the most important issues this election season, moderators of the second presidential debate Martha Raddatz and Anderson Cooper also pointed out that Trump’s 2005 audio tape scandal was the most talked about story of the 2016 election on social networks.

With sensationalism and online content simultaneously growing in popularity, voters will be making uninformed decisions when they hit the polling stations on Nov. 8.

The debates, which are supposed to be a source of

substantial arguments for voters to make informed choices, only served as pissing contests for the two candidates. They dodged questions, instead whipping insults at each other.

“Someone with the temperament of Donald Trump shouldn’t run our country,” Clinton said of Trump during the second presidential debate, to which he replied, “Yeah, because you’d be in jail.”

Both candidates participated in this kind of smear campaign, honing in on the media’s portrayal of the election by trying to hurt the other’s chance at candidacy by attacking the person over the policy.

There have been so many scandals, several can be listed off the top of one’s head. Aside from the email and audio tape scandals, another non-policy issue concerning Clinton included rape allegations against her

husband, and her public attacks against the accusers.

Just as Clinton has gained notoriety for her emails, Trump has been unable to escape the negative publicity stemming from the infamous 2005 audio tape and accusations of sexual harassment by multiple women.

Not that the scandals themselves are unimportant, but the question then becomes: If so much drama surrounds our candidates that we can’t even make time to discuss pertinent issues, are either qualified to run our country?

It’s time for the media to take some responsibility and focus on the real issues, and most importantly for registered voters to do their own research outside of social media and click-bait articles. American citizens need to understand that personalities do not create laws–policies do.

Generation gap splits Republican party

Young conservatives to usher in a new era for their political party.

MEGAN MAXEY Daily Titan

Millennials have seen a lot in their short lifetimes. They witnessed the 9/11 attacks at a young age, grew up through the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression and are now about to vote in an election where they must choose between two evil candidates for president of the United States.

It’s safe to say that the millennial generation is faced with a political environment like no other, but this is affecting young Republicans the most.

These young conservative voters are looking at a choice between a candidate who represents everything they’re against and the candidate of their own party who consistently proves himself to be sexist and racist. Do they stay loyal to their party despite the conflicting ideals? Or do they go against the only party they’ve ever known to voice their own brand of views?

After the disappointment and controversy surrounding the Republican party during this election, the future of the party lies in the hands of their young members.

Young conservatives differ from their older Republican counterparts. They lean left on social issues, are passionate on limited government and are conservatively fiscal. However, they are first and foremost confused after this election.

“Millennial Republicans are looking for truth and they’re kind of confused by the messages of the alt-right coming up. They’re not sure whether to take the political correctness side or defend the politically incorrect side and if they are politically incorrect, are they too radical? All in all, it’s a confusing time,” said Amanda

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

Millennial Republicans are left in the lurch during this election, as they do not align with the radical views being portrayed by Donald Trump and older, stereotypical party members. It’s up to these young Republicans to help move their party beyond out-dated ideals and towards a more inclusive version of conservatism.

McGuire, vice president of Cal State Fullerton’s Republicans club.

There is no choice for millennial Republicans in ideologies when it comes to our current presidential candidates, just a choice of who is worse, McGuire said.

Many Republicans are hoping to see a new era of Republicans, mostly on social issues after this election, said Bernardo Tirado, the social media coordinator for the CSUF College Republicans.

The differences in the two generations have been occurring for some time, but after 2016, young conservatives are more lost than ever.

“We are definitely seeing

a clash of the minds as we have both candidates saying things no one can put value in,” McGuire said.

Republicans are often automatically labeled as bigots, racists and heartless.

While these insults are directed at the right, they’re really responding to views of the radical right. Millennial Republicans are a less radical but still a passionate bunch.

“Everyone is different and I can’t force regulation on someone else because that goes against my very nature as a Republican and a conservative,” McGuire said.

Conservatives from different generations often conflict on social issues. Age does matter when it comes

to the Republican party.

“With fiscal issues they are still very similar. It’s with social issues … It’s very different than the typical stereotype of the gun wielding Texans,” Tirado said.

The Millennials are leading the party towards the middle, but they are very much of their own, McGuire said. Typically, younger Republicans are more open to hearing about issues because of what they have already been through.

“The world is changing so much that we as a party are changing,” said Stephanie Delateur, a freshman and member of the CSUF College Republicans.

Because of this

unfortunate election cycle, McGuire is optimistic for the future.

“It’s going to be really different because we are going to be able to say, ‘never again,’” McGuire said.

As we have seen this election unfold, many have said Donald Trump is the destruction of the Republican party and all it stands for.

Many say this party will no longer be the agent to conservatism and an unknown and drastically different future lies ahead.

The Millennials of this party are ready to fight for its values despite these worries. They are soon to be the policy makers of America and will lead it in the right direction.

“(Millennial influence) could change a lot of how we expect the world to be instead of what the world is …

I believe in our generation in that we want to do what’s right for the collective,” McGuire said.

Political figures seen on the news and talk shows often represent a different Republican party than the Millennials. While strong willed on many conservative issues, they differ from what many think the right actually is.

The 2016 election changed the political spectrum in more than a few ways. A major change will come from how these young conservatives respond and where they will guide the future of the party.

SPORTS Men’s soccer outlasts UC Riverside PAGE 10 OCTOBER 24, 2016 MONDAY

Heilmann nets 10th goal of season in win over UC Riverside.

ERIC DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer continued its dominance over UC Riverside this season, winning its rematch over the Highlanders 1-0 Saturday.

The Titans were finally able to bring their Big West record above .500 for the first time this season.

The win was decided by a 14th minute goal from Fullerton’s leading scorer Alex Heilmann, his tenth on the season.

Midfielder Ross McPhie dished an pass from the left side for his second assist of the season.

Heilmann’s 10 goals puts him in a tie with UC Santa Barbara’s Kevin Feucht for most in the Big West. The senior continues his strong

season, ranking second in conference points with 20.

Fullerton managed to outshoot Riverside 12-7 and limited the Highlander’s first-half chances, holding the them to only two shots and one corner kick.

After being named the Big West Defensive Athlete of the Week, goalkeeper David Elias demonstrated why he was deserving of the honor as he came up with a big save in the 78th minute.

Other than the late-game shot by the Highlanders, the Titans dominated the game from start to finish.

“Our team displayed grit, poise, calm under pressure, defensive composure and execution by Alex Heilmann.

Overall, a pretty complete game and we are creating good chances and we will continue to pursue getting better,” said Head Coach George Kuntz in a press release.

The Titans have had success against Riverside over the years, leading the

all-time series with a 19-106 record. The Highlanders, however, came into the game Saturday night at the top of the South Division with

a 4-2-1 conference record.

Fullerton was not far behind with a 3-3-1 record and got the win they needed to stay in contention for first.

The victory extended Fullerton’s win streak to three, and marked the fourth time the team shut out an opponent this season.

The Titans will play their final home game of the year against South Division leading CSU Northridge Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Women’s volleyball falls to last place in conference Volleyball falters again in weekend matches.

BRYANT FREESE Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball lost its seventh consecutive match after falling 3-0 to UC Irvine Thursday and 3-1 to UC Davis Saturday.

With back-to-back road losses over the weekend, the Titans are tied for last place

in the Big West Conference with UC Riverside at 1-7.

Riverside is the only team Fullerton has beat in conference play.

The first loss of the weekend came at the hands of Irvine in straight sets.

The Titans battled valiantly in sets one and two, but came up short both times, 25-18 and 25-22, respectively. However, the third set did not resemble the rest of the match as the Anteaters handily took the final set 25-11.

Sophomore transfer

Madeline Schneider was the only Titan to tally double figure kills, finishing the match with 11 total on an efficient .476 hitting percentage. Fellow sophomore transfer Shimen Fayad was second on the team in kills with nine. However, Fayad did not attack with the same precision as Schneider, finishing the night with a .107 hitting percentage.

Schneider and Fayad were unable to get the help they needed from the rest of their teammates as they finished with 20 of the Titans’

30 kills.

The Titans concluded the night with a .180 hitting percentage as opposed to Irvine’s impressive .409 attacking rate. The Anteaters were led by Victoria Dennis who finished the evening with 17 kills on 30 attempts.

Irvine set the ball for Dennis a majority of the night as she had 17 more attempts than the next-best hitter for the Anteaters. Dennis is second in the Big West in total kills with 319.

The second match of the

weekend did not go much better for Fullerton as it lost to UC Davis in four sets. In the previous matchup with the Aggies, CSUF allowed freshman Lauren Matias to have a field day, racking up 34 kills in four sets.

The Titan defense didn’t allow Matias to get into a rhythm Saturday, limiting her to just nine kills on 41 attempts, which resulted in a dismal .024 hitting percentage. However, CSUF was unable to stifle the rest of the Aggie offense, as it allowed senior

Kendall Walbrecht to tally 22 kills with a .475 hitting percentage.

Once again, Fullerton relied on sophomore transfers to carry the offense. Fayad led CSUF with 18 kills and Schneider trailed just behind her with 16. The rest of the Titans combined for just 12 kills in the match. Collectively, Fullerton was outhit by UC Davis 64-46 on the night.

Fullerton will look to end its losing streak Saturday at Titan Gym when it hosts No. 13 Hawaii at 7 p.m.

SPORTS Fullerton continues to roll in Big West play PAGE 12 OCTOBER 24, 2016 MONDAY

Titans backed by solid goalkeeping in 3-0 win over Hawaii.

HARRISON FAIGEN Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer didn’t go to Hawaii for a vacation, but its 3-0 victory was more stress-free than a day on the beach. The victory gave CSUF sole possession of third place in the Big West with a 4-2 record.

The Titans were all over Hawaii from the jump. Jessica Simonian sent a ball into the box from near midfield in the 13th minute, and Kaycee Hoover was able to outleap the Hawaii defense to get her head on the ball

to redirect it into the left side of the goal for her first score of the season.

Hawaii was unable to stop the bleeding there.

Forward Sarah Fajnor added a fifth goal to her Titans-leading total in the 16th minute when her arcing shot from the left side of the box hit the right and left posts before crossing the goal line to give CSUF a 2-0 lead.

Hawaii’s Addie Steiner had a chance to make the contest closer in the 31st minute, but senior goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart came up with a save to maintain the Titans’ shutout.

Tala Haddad nearly made it a three-goal lead in the 50th minute, but Hawaii defender Sarah Lau headed the ball off the crossbar to keep the

game from devolving into a total blowout for a few more minutes.

However, CSUF wouldn’t be denied much longer. Hoover broke free on the left side of the field in the 66th and found freshman forward Atlanta Primus in the center of the box. Primus was able to control the ball just enough to guide it past Berger for her first goal as a Titan.

Hawaii had no answer for the rest of the contest thanks to the stellar goalkeeping of Stewart, who saved six shots to maintain her clean sheet.

Fullerton will wrap up its Big West slate next weekend when it travels to CSU Northridge Friday at 7 p.m., followed by a home match with UC Irvine Sunday at 2 p.m.

Fullerton began its 2016 fall schedule Saturday with matchups against San Diego and Arizona State.

Bryanna Ybarra hit a home run to deep left field in the bottom of the second inning against San Diego.

“We’ve been practicing a long time, and honestly, I think everybody was pretty sick of practicing and ready to play,” said Head Coach Kelly Ford.

Tennis

The doubles team of Camille De Leon and Alexis Valenzuela, ranked No. 31 in Intercollegiate Tennis Association preseason rankings, made it to the final round of the ITA West Regional Sunday.

They will face Mayar Sherif Ahmed and Christine Maddox of Pepperdine Monday.

Baseball

Titan baseball put up 19 runs on 21 hits in its fall schedule matchup with Orange Coast College Saturday afternoon.

The Titans added another seven runs in the bottom of the fifth, including a home run from redshirt freshman Chris Ceballos.

CSUF will continue its fall schedule next Saturday when it hosts UC Santa Barbara at 4 p.m.

Basketball

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball’s Blue-Orange Scrimmage was the first official event of the 2016-17 season. The Titans have five more players on their roster than last season. It was their first chance to show fans what they had been working on over summer.

“I’m trying to improve on my shot selection,” said sophomore guard Khalil Ahmad, the Titans’ second-leading scorer last year. “I’m being aggressive, but knowing when to be aggressive, and when to distribute or attack.”
