Andy Galpin, Ph.D., Cal State Fullerton kinesiology professor, has helped train athletes such as UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum. Now, he hopes to educate as many people as he can by sharing his knowledge and research online.

Research targets strength and conditioning VERONICA MARQUEZ-ESHELBY Daily Titan The weights on either end of the barbell resound with a heavy “clunk” as Whitney Leyva sets it down on the firm mat of the Student Recreation Center’s floor. The 28-year-old Cal State Fullerton grad student is one of the founding members of the weightlifting club. The club was created over five years ago, but Leyva said it

would not exist without the initiative of Andy Galpin, Ph.D., a kinesiology assistant professor, who helped create and coach the club. “You could tell that he was really passionate about teaching weightlifting; he broke down the movements for us,” Leyva said. “We were only working with just a PVC pipe for like three months, and that was such a tough workout. I really enjoyed his coaching style. He didn’t make me second-guess myself.” Galpin has been teaching at Cal State Fullerton for five years and is also the director of the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Lab on campus. While

Galpin teaches classes on campus, his passion for kinesiology has motivated him to educate people, through different platforms, such as online videos, columns and lab research, on how to live healthier lives. In the lab, students collect and analyze muscle tissue biopsies at the single-cell level in order to determine how the cells respond to high-impact exercise in the fields of both strength and conditioning. “Skeletal muscle is a quality of life and health issue,” Galpin said. “It’s going to save you from falling later, it’s going to keep you living by yourself longer, it’s going to keep you alive.” Galpin believes that

training people to be healthy, thus living longer, is the same as training them to be an athlete; the only difference is that instead of baseball or football, “their sport is life.” “If you look at the research now on mortality … the three most significant predictors of how long you are going to live are your leg strength, the amount of muscle mass you have and your maximum aerobic capacity,” Galpin said. Galpin had a very active childhood and played “about every traditional sport growing up,” won a national football championship as an undergrad and competed in four weightlifting championships

after graduating. He earned an undergraduate degree in exercise science at Linfield College, followed by a master’s degree in human movement sciences from the University of Memphis, and his Ph.D. in human bioenergetics from Ball State University. Throughout his career as a personal trainer, Galpin coached many well-known athletes such as Vernon Davis of San Francisco 49ers fame, current UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Dodger baseball outfielder Andre Ethier. He was also the personal trainer for actor Kevin James. SEE HEALTH

Emmy-winning producer visits CSUF Saul Gonzalez shares his expertise in storytelling SEAN KELLEY Daily Titan KCRW producer Saul Gonzalez impressed upon a packed audience Monday at the Center for Oral and Public History’s Hansen Lecture Series that to become a good storyteller, people have to make a connection and know a lot of things. Prior to KCRW, Gonzalez worked for KCET in Southern California on the news magazine SoCal

Connected. Gonzalez won eight regional Emmys for his efforts. Gonzalez spoke of his interviewing and reporting techniques, and suggested that those in attendance practice interviewing with family members and get a handle on technology like the radio. Gonzalez pointed to his gear next to the podium and noted that journalists need to be multimedia-savvy. “Everything I do for radio is in this bag,” Gonzalez said. “Just with what’s in that bag … I can tell a credible story that will air nationally.” SEE SAUL

He wanted to be like James Hetfield, the lead singer and guitarist for Metallica, but as a teenager, Christopher Job got his start by reluctantly joining his high school’s choir. After he started working with a private voice teacher, one thing became apparent: many of his heavy metal idols had a tenor vocal range, while Job was a bass. Instead of letting Job’s musical aspirations end there, his voice teacher turned Job’s attention to Italian opera singer Ezio Pinza. “I listened to that and was just amazed by what opera sounded like,” said Job, a Cal State Fullerton alumnus. It was perhaps that single exposure to a genre previously so unfamiliar to Job that set him on the path to his current engagement. He is now set to grace the stage of the world-renowned Metropolitan Opera in New York City as Sir Walter Raleigh in the company’s first-ever production of Gaetano Donizetti’s “Roberto Devereux.” The roots of Job’s operatic career began to take hold when the time came to select a college. Like many students his age, Job was unsure of what he wanted to do. A self-proclaimed jock, he was entertaining the idea of playing volleyball for a few different schools, but he ultimately opted to remain close to home and attend CSUF to study biology. While not having many friends on campus, and opera and music still on his mind, Job joined the school’s University Singers and Men’s Ensemble as a remedy for both predicaments. This decision led Job to switch his major to music during his freshman year, affording him the opportunity to work and improve his musicianship with artistic director John Alexander. The music program also led him to the friendships he sought, many of which remain strong to this day. During his sophomore year, current associate professor of music Mark Goodrich, who has a doctorate in musical arts, introduced Job to Andrew Parks, Ph.D. Parks is a former CSUF faculty member who now teaches at the Manhattan School of Music.

Event will try to break record DAISY ORTIZ Daily Titan As part of the 14th annual Donate Life Run/ Walk festival, participants will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the “largest gathering of organ transplant recipients” on Saturday, April 30 at Cal State Fullerton. The non-competitive 5K/1K Run/Walk celebrates the final days of National Donate Life Month and aims to raise awareness regarding organ and tissue donation.

The event seeks to inspire the surrounding communities and benefit the OneLegacy Foundation. While anyone can sign up to take part in the run/ walk, only verified transplant recipients can participate in the Guinness World Record challenge. The nonprofit OneLegacy Foundation is dedicated to saving the lives of individuals in need of organ, eye or other tissue donations and serves 215 hospitals and 11 transplant centers within the greater Los Angeles County area. “We just want to show people who are currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant that there is hope,” said Kathleen

Saul: Interview techniques shared CONTINUED FROM

A highlight of Gonzalez’s talk was his transformation to a storyteller. No longer interested in comprehensive reporting and raw facts, Gonzalez wants to be known for storytelling. “I just try to tell good, honest, increasingly simple stories about very vexing things, sometimes disturbing, sometimes whimsical, sometimes controversial,” Gonzalez said. “But I think my most important work involves going out, meeting normal people who are going through some extraordinary things and somehow, through my words and their words and their interviews, you make a connection.” Nancy Fitch, Ph.D., chair of the history department, opened the lecture

by honoring the assembled guests, including former center director Arthur A. Hansen and current director Natalie Fousekis. Fousekis touched upon the Center for Oral and Public History’s unrivaled size and collection. “We are the largest regionally focused archive of oral history in the state of California,” Fousekis said. “We are coming up close to 6,000 oral history interviews in our collection and we also have thousands of photographs and document collections as well.” Other projects spearheaded by the center include the Nixon project, which centers around recordings of people who knew Richard Nixon before he became a public figure, and the Mexican-American project, which looked

at the deportation of Mexican-Americans during the Great Depression. “As we become a center that does both – records histories and brings them into the public in this modern era – this lecture series, I believe, has been central to bringing some of the most prominent public intellectuals who engage in the kind of work that we do,” Fousekis said. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Center for Oral and Public History created the lecture series in honor of Hansen, CSUF emeritus professor of history. The next event sponsored by the Center for Oral and Public History in May is a panel and a film screening of “No Más Bebés” at the Orange County Heritage Museum in Santa Ana.

Symposium hosts student research

Scholars showcased projects at firstannual event VERONICA MARQUEZ-ESHELBY Daily Titan

Scholars from a variety of majors within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences shared their research projects at the Humanities and Social Sciences Inter-Club Council’s (H&SS ICC) first annual Research Symposium on Monday. The symposium is one of many events Cal State Fullerton is hosting throughout the week in order to showcase contributions made to academia by students, and to encourage networking within the department. Presentations covered several areas of research, including women and gender studies, geography, psychology, sociology and anthropology. Researchers explored subjects that are often thought of as unpleasant or controversial to talk about, such as the evolution of the “welfare state,” mental illness and male aggression. Charles Laconico, a 20-year-old senior liberal studies major with a minor in American studies, gave his presentation, titled,

“Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Body Politics in the LGBTQ Community.” Although he is not part of the LGBTQ community himself, Laconico said that he is a huge supporter of LGBTQ rights and ultimately chose the topic because of his own love of bodybuilding and admiration for the ex-governor of California. When asked about his future plans for the research, he said, “I plan on getting it published. I am in the process of editing it for the American Papers, which is the annual paper for Cal State Fullerton’s American studies (department).” Anthropology major Anne Marie Whitehead presented her research on “green burials” during the event, using a poster that showed comparisons between Hillside Memorial Cemetery, which practices traditional Jewish funerals, and the famed Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Through the use of biodegradable caskets and shrouds, as well as the elimination of vaults, manufactured gravestones and toxic formaldehyde, Hillside Memorial Cemetery provides an eco-friendly alternative to the mainstream burial practices that leave a long-lasting negative impact on the environment. The burial practices are

certified by the Green Burial Council, a group that assists people in finding places like Hillside Memorial Cemetery, Whitehead said. There are only two certified places in California

that offer these kinds of services, the other being in Joshua Tree National Park, she said. The symposium enthralled many audience members with its findings and subject matter,

including Ashley Dorado, early childhood development major. “I was really impressed with both the posters and the speeches. All of the presenters were really well-informed of their topic and

they explained them clearly,” Dorado said. Three Titan Shop gift baskets were raffled off during the event. They were awarded to two presenters as well as one attendee, with each valued at $100.

He travels throughout the country, giving seminars on topics such as strength and conditioning and self-improvement based on his own research and experiences. Galpin recently presented at the Paleo f(x) conference in Austin, Texas. The conference focused on “total human optimization,” and included panels on nutrition, exercise, sustainability, role models, self-awareness and many others. Galpin and his team at CSUF’s Center for Sport Performance, have published 32 manuscripts and around 100 abstracts, he said. He plans to upload his multimedia and research onto Barbell University, “a strength, fitness and exercise science training resource powered by the crew at Barbell Shrugged,” according to Barbell University’s website. The site features strength and conditioning coaches, professors and trainers who provide courses on their field of expertise. “There is only so much I can teach a student in 75 minutes, twice a week, and the problem here is

commuting time, and the ‘I can’t get into the class, it’s full.’ In 2016, that doesn’t make sense to me,” Galpin said. Barbell University functions as a platform for delivering information to anyone eager to receive it, Galpin said. It is a way to communicate his message without worrying about space or time concerns. Furthermore, Barbell allows students to participate in “competency-based learning,” allowing them to strive toward their education at their own pace. Despite his various contributions to kinesiology, as well as the CSUF community, Galpin hopes to continue his research in order to provide people with the knowledge they need to live longer, healthier lives. Galpin believes there are three things people care about: wealth, relationships and health. “We’re fortunate in that we have pretty good control over a third of that (list),” Galpin said. One of Galpin’s favorite quotes is by Bill Bowerman, an American track and field coach and co-founder of Nike, “If you have a body, you are an athlete.”

Parks remained Job’s teacher for the rest of Job’s time at CSUF and became the person that Job credits his entire career to. “Without Dr. Parks, I don’t think I would be where I am today,” Job said. “He became like an opera father to me. A friend, an uncle, a mentor — everything.” Job’s talent, work ethic and eagerness to learn stood out to Parks during their first studio class where the bass-baritone sported a long, red ponytail and worked on the aria “Infelice! ... e tuo credevi,” from Verdi’s “Ernani.” “As we began coaching, he became more and more comfortable, and all of a sudden, just as naturally as walking the family dog, as he was approaching the climactic phrase, this big, robust, mature sound just roared out of him,” Parks wrote via email. “The first of many lightbulbs went on that day and he never looked back.” It was because of Parks’ encouragement and tutelage that Job ventured out to his first summer program at the Aspen Opera Theater Center in Colorado and later continued his education at Northwestern University, where he received his master’s degree in vocal performance.

Although Job’s remarkable voice, which Goodrich described as a rare and genuine bass, afforded him an advantage in his career, Goodrich said that it has been Job’s fierce work ethic that has gotten him where he is today. “In addition to having the instrument, one must also have the necessary skills, determination and drive required when forging a career,” Goodrich wrote via email. “It doesn’t happen overnight.” While competing at the Palm Beach Opera competition, Job received valuable feedback from Lenore Rosenberg, adjudicator of the Metropolitan Opera. She advised him to rework his technique and approach to singing, but took note of his voice. Years later, after auditioning for the Richard Tucker Foundation competition and once again failing to secure a win, Job received a note from Rosenberg’s assistant. “Rosenburg’s assistant writes me and says, ‘Lenore heard you in the Richard Tucker auditions and would like to hear you for the Metropolitan Opera,’” Job said. “So I sang for her and was hired the next day.” The whirlwind of Job’s career, as well as the grind he endured to earn his success, has taken him all over the world to perform in countries

would go and get a standing room ticket because that’s all I could afford.” Job’s perseverance has led him to find success in his field. Parks, who never doubted his pupil’s capacity to succeed in this sometimes cutthroat field, said the success is well-deserved.

“The instrument was there. The talent would grow. The commitment was there. Chris has worked hard and faithfully and his efforts are being acknowledged everywhere,” Parks said. “I could not be prouder of him and the success that he has so rightfully achieved.”

Mandatory vaccinations for infants and children will help rid the public of easily prevented diseases such as measles, mumps and others. More laws need to be put in place to compel shots in order to protect those susceptible.

Child vaccination needs to be required by law Administering shots would help to prevent disease outbreaks DAISY ORTIZ Daily Titan In 2014, Disneyland became the center of a measles outbreak that spread to nearly 150 citizens across the state simply because a “substantial number of parents have not had their children fully immunized with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine,” according to the Los Angeles Times. Administering vaccinations to children should be required by law. Ethically speaking, when a personal choice or belief poses a very real threat to the rest of society, the rules should change to include consequences for the actions that follow. It is a matter of community responsibility, said Shana A. Charles, Ph.D., CSUF assistant professor of health science. The trend behind the negligence of many parents can be linked by a now-discredited paper by former doctor Andrew Wakefield, who

claimed that the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine increases a child’s risk for autism, said British Medical Journal Editor-in-Chief Fiona Godlee. The fraudulent study has been used as a source to reinforce beliefs held by non-vaccinating parents, who subsequently have

community responsibility seriously,” Charles said. As the number of families who opt out of immunizations increases, so does the risk of spreading diseases like the measles. Individuals who have yet to receive vaccines due to their age, or anyone with a lowered immune system are susceptible to

“You love what you know.” How very true that is. This was the response I got from a friend whom I was trying to convince of an objective standard of judging music, which is no easy feat. I grew up listening to Creedence Clearwater and Black Sabbath and it’s no coincidence that I hold these artists in high esteem to this very day, 20 years later. I love what I know, but I’ll go a step further and say, ‘What I love and know is better than what you love and know.’ Don’t get me wrong, taste in music is surely subjective, but in no way does a person’s taste dictate what should be considered good music. Let’s do away with that idea right now so these talentless hacks stop proliferating their music as “good.” Music should be judged on lyrical content, motive, talent and time. In 2013, Kanye West released “Yeezus” and I took the liberty of giving the album a full listen a couple times around. The music started and I was immediately intrigued. It boldly took an experimental turn that I haven’t heard in much hip-hop, giving me hope that this album wouldn’t be as bad as I anticipated. I was wrong. The song “New Slaves” was promising until: “**** you and your Hampton house, I’ll **** your Hampton spouse, **** on her Hampton blouse and in her Hampton mouth.” What happened to lyricism? What happened to having class? What happened to standards? Need there be more commentary on these vulgar lyrics? Call me old-fashioned, but no person who speaks like this deserves any kind of artistic recognition. But the song “Hotline Bling” by Fake, I mean Drake, is always stuck in my head. I really hate that song, but it’s catchy as hell and I think here lies the major fault in people’s opinion of music. People tend to think that catchy means good. Well you know what else is catchy? The “Free credit report dotcom ba-by!” song. It’s a jingle that stays in your head in order to sell a product, and that’s the same tactic used by major pop artists. It took Led Zeppelin a couple of years to write the song “Kashmir,” with the lyrics being written while singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page were driving through the Sahara Desert in Morocco. “It required some kind of epithet, or abstract lyrical setting about the whole idea of life being an adventure and being a series of illuminated moments,” Plant said in a 1995 radio interview with Australian journalist Richard Kingsmill. Here is a portion of the lyrics to the song: “Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream, heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream, my Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again, sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin’ through Kashmir.” I am not even sure what it means, but that is the beauty of thoughtful lyrics. It’s open to interpretation and eventually you will have an “Ah-ha!” moment when you realize what it all means. And no, the song doesn’t end with Plant spilling his seed all over the desert sand. I fail to hear much effort and talent in today’s popular music, but that’s not to say there isn’t any. I’ll keep searching. We have to squash the idea right now that good and bad music is just a matter of opinion. It belittles the artists who actually bled for their product. Music may be dear to you and hold some special place in your heart, but if you can seriously read the West’s lyrics written above and think to yourself, “Damn, that guy has talent,” then your opinion doesn’t matter.

SHANA A. CHARLES, PH.D CSUF assistant professor of health sciences no real ground to support their dogma anymore. Now the standing argument shifts to whether or not the parents should be forced to vaccinate their children with the weight of possibly affecting another child through their decisions. “If you want to live in an urban society with millions of other people that you interact with on a daily basis … then you really need to take your

infection. While there is much to be said about parents who will deny their child medical treatment that has proven to prevent as many as 14 diseases, those who are against immunizations are finding themselves facing legal consequences for opting out. In order to protect children within the state’s public and private school systems, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate

Bill 277 in 2015, requiring children be vaccinated against at least 10 diseases, including measles. And while many might cry foul at what could be seen as a law set to purposely exclude families who choose to not vaccinate, really it’s to ensure public safety and health in the face of those families that could potentially harm others. Charles said. “You’re presenting a danger to other kids. You can choose that for yourself, but don’t pretend that you can interact with everybody else in society and have it not be a danger, because it is.” And though it may be easy to demonize anti-vaccinating families, Charles emphasized that education is a key way to ensure that families are aware of the benefits of immunization, but to also inform them of how the dangers of immunization have been overblown. This personal fear is understandable but will lead to dangers for others. “They’re worried about their children,” Charles said. “It’s coming from a place of love. But it’s dangerous love.”

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

You can become so opinionated that you may inadvertently anger someone close to you. You’re ready to share your feelings with everyone because you believe that it is just simpler to tell the truth. Ironically, you are a bit too evasive today when it comes time for a heartfelt emotional interaction.

TAURUS

Sometimes you enjoy talking about almost anything that pops into your mind. However, even the most casual of comments can turn into a major disagreement today. If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

Creating a healthy balance in your relationships can seem like an intricate puzzle today. You may be simultaneously told yes and no every time you ask a simple question. Pursuing art is one way of testing the reaction of the world around you.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You may have to juggle your personal affairs today without anyone outside of your home knowing about your current challenges. Although there are logical reasons to keep secrets now, you’re still tempted to share private information with an ally or acquaintance.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

You’re not looking for any additional problems today, but trouble could find you anyhow when you least expect it. Although a stressful situation may demand your immediate attention at work, you’re highly resistant to any form of change.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

It’s a lot easier to just show up and take control of the situation now than mull over the facts for weeks or months. Plot your course of action spontaneously today, rather than retreating to analyze your logical next step.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

You strive to be a kinder and gentler Fish today in an attempt to resist your growing sense of annoyance with a friend. You try to avoid unpleasant consequences by being thoughtful in all of your interactions. Your words once spoken can’t be forgotten. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM
