Associated Students, Inc., in collaboration with

Titan Athletics, hosted student activities to promote campus unity at the second annual Orange Madness event Tuesday.

The event included a henna station, a petting zoo, inflatable jousting and wrecking ball activities, food trucks and live musical performances. All activities and food were

provided free to students, courtesy of ASI, said Alexandra Beltran, administrative director for Titan Tusk Force and ASI’s newly elected executive vice president.

“ASI is funded by the students, so it’s for the students,” Beltran said. “They don’t have to pay an additional fee … It’s allocated

in our budget to do so.”

The name Orange Madness stems from the collaboration of athletics and ASI, and unity within the students on campus.

“Everyone thinks our school colors are blue, white and orange, but orange is actually an accent color adopted by athletics,” Beltran said. “So orange is

what we wanted to do and madness is just because we wanted it to be something that students don’t expect.”

Jeanette Esquivel, ASI events coordinator for Titan Tusk Force, said ASI wanted to have things that students were going to enjoy.

Titan softball fends off the Toreros CSUF cruises to comfortable victory over San Diego RYAN PORTER Daily Titan A strong offensive performance from senior infielder Missy Taukeiaho helped lift the Cal State Fullerton softball team over the University of San Diego Toreros 8-2 on Tuesday.

Pursuing their 10th consecutive win, the Titans went into Tuesday’s match against San Diego looking to keep their batters hot before this weekend’s threegame series.

Junior righty Cerissa Rivera (4-1) got the nod in the circle for the Titans (35-10 overall, 9-0 Big West).

In the bottom of the first, Samantha Vandiver led off

and managed to hit a single up the middle. This set up the prolific Taukeiaho for a two-run home run to deep left field, giving the Titans an early 2-0 lead.

The Toreros (16-26 overall) threatened in the top of the second when they got runners in scoring position with no outs, but a failed bunt, an easy popup to shallow center and a fly ball got the Titans out of the jam.

“It’s nice when you have your defense back there,” Rivera said. “Throughout the whole game I had my whole defense reminding me ‘I’m here for you.’”

In the bottom of the second with runners on second and third, Fullerton outfielder Delynn Rippy came up and ripped a single over the Torero second baseman to bring the Titans up 4-0.

“Being the first performer at Orange Madness was nice,” Casciotta said. “I can create the mood and vibe for everyone … I just want people to dance, smile and be happy.”

Casciotta’s performance was successful as students danced throughout the event.

Last year’s event capped at 2,000 students, but this year’s Orange Madness accommodated more students as it was held on the Tuffy Lawn outside of the Student Recreation Center, instead of the Titan gym.

Next fall’s Orange Madness is “going to be even bigger than it was in the past two years,” Beltran said.

The Santa Clarabased Intel Corp. will cut 12,000 jobs after pursuing the move to work with cloud computing and smart devices, according to the Los Angeles Times.

This move is a response to declining PC sales that the company still depends on for two-thirds of its revenue.

The cut will reduce its workforce by 11 percent and save the company about $750 million for the remainder of 2016 and $1.4 billion by mid-2017.

It is rumored that Intel Corp. is in the running to supply Apple, Inc. chips for the iPhone 7, which would be a big move for the company.

It was discovered that the phone contained no contacts with other ISIS supporters. Encrypted communication was not used with other plotters during the period of interest when Farook’s whereabouts were unknown.

Private sector hackers were hired to help gain access to the phone after Apple refused to help the government get past security features during an extended legal battle.

The FBI said the information obtained is valuable because it discounted certain possibilities about the shooting.

The Fullerton City Council listens to public comments before debating on the prospective district election plan that aims to minimize the disenfranchising of minority groups in the city. In 2015, a lawsuit was filed against the city for allegedly violating the California Voting Rights Act.

City council reviews district maps Fullerton will let voters decide on district elections JILLIAN SALAS Daily Titan The Fullerton City Council debated various technicalities of drawing up maps for district elections Tuesday night with the majority of the public expressing support for a map originally drawn up by a resident.

The city, which has atlarge elections, may be transforming into a district electoral system after being sued in 2015 for allegedly disenfranchising minority voters. Fullerton voters will decide in November if they will switch to district elections or not, as a part of the settlement.

The American Civil Liberties Union and Asian Americans Advancing Justice filed the lawsuit alleging that the lack of Asian-American representation on the council board violated the California

Voting Rights Act. The 2010 federal census reported that Asians make up 22.8 percent of Fullerton, while Hispanics make up 33.4 percent of the population. All five board members are white.

David Ely of Compass Demographics attended the meeting and has worked with the citizens of Fullerton over the span of seven months to create sample district maps.

The struggle while drawing the maps was to keep them legal under the voting rights act, Ely said.

The map that garnered the most support was created by Fullerton resident and educator Jeanette Vazquez.

Ely modified her version to keep it within legal standards and to maintain clear boundaries.

“Each of these districts have a major point of interest which also seem like a point of interest to community members during the hearings,” Vazquez said.

Minority members in support of the map said that these defined lines would

allow for a better future for children and a better chance for representation of a group of people.

The opposition said the boundaries would intersect in, and split, the downtown

area and that a city with five districts would be detrimental to the community as a whole.

“I don’t support the five-district concept,” said Council Member Doug

Chaffee. Instead, Chaffee supports a six-district concept that would allow an atlarge mayor to be elected.

Residents have until May 10 to submit different versions of district maps. The

future of the electoral lines will be decided in the next council meeting on May 17.

If the public votes to move along with a district electoral system, then the system will be set in place by 2018.

Dean: Potential administration interviewed CONTINUED FROM

Lynn Sargeant, associate dean for Student Relations in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and member of the Dean/AVP UEE-IPGE Search Committee, led the 30-minute open forum.

She described the dean position as being CSUF’s “Chief International Officer,” whose duties include working

on intersession and summer session courses and dealing with international student education and study abroad programs.

The open forum consisted of students from various majors, including international students, asking Ajami questions about his life and how he plans to engage with CSUF students should he be chosen for the position.

“I both lead and follow,”

Ajami said. “I meet bright students and interact with their intellect and experiences.”

Ajami expressed the importance of understanding other cultures.

“The world is different for each person, so I like to send students to study abroad and have experts come from around the world.”

Business economics major Meshal Alyabis, an international student from Saudi

Arabia, attended the open forum after receiving an invitation from the International Student’s Office.

Alyabis asked Ajami questions about the declining enrollment in English language programs in universities across the United States, and about the Saudi Arabian government reducing funding for Saudi students to study abroad.

“The economy in Saudi

Arabia is going down … If the economy goes down, that means no more funding,” Alyabis said. “We had the opportunity to do bachelor’s and master’s (programs), but now I can’t do that anymore. I can only do bachelor’s.”

While he felt Ajami had good experience for the job, Alyabis said he will be reserving his opinion until he hears from the other potential deans.

“The candidate seemed to have a lot of experience about the international field,” Alyabis said. “He could do really good when it comes to controlling International Programs.”

The next two candidates for the Dean/AVP UEE-IPGE will have student open forums Wednesday, April 20 at 11:00 a.m. and Friday, April 22 at 2:30 p.m., both in College Park 500.

Witty farce focuses on infidelity CSUF cast revives hilarious and enticing French production DAISY ORTIZ Daily Titan Sexy, scandalous and hilarious romantic hijinks are sure to have audiences in stitches during Cal State Fullerton’s theater production of “Don’t Dress for Dinner.”

Originally written in 1987 by French playwright Marc Camoletti, it premiered in Paris, France, where it successfully played for two years.

The English version was adapted in 2012

by Robin Hawdon and played in London at the Apollo and Duchess theaters for an impressive six-year run. Most recently, the show premiered on Broadway in 2012, directed by John Tillinger.

Chicago Style Magazine described the play as “a textbook example of how to create the perfect farce.”

With the play receiving positive reviews from outlets such as The Guardian, audiences are sure to get their money’s worth.

Set in the picturesque 1960s French countryside, “Don’t Dress for Dinner” tells the story of Bernard, a married man who sends his wife Jacqueline away to her mother’s for the weekend.

Bernard hopes to have a romantic rendezvous in his farmhouse with his beautiful Parisian mistress.

KATIE ALBERTSON / DAILY TITAN

Chelsea Harvey, who will play Jacqueline, stars in “Don’t Dress for Dinner,” which premieres April 22 in the Young Theatre. Set in the 1960’s, the produciton takes place on a French farmhouse where a married couple deals with issues of infidelity.

Bernard crafts the perfect alibi to ensure his scheme goes off without a hitch.

He hires a cordon bleu chef and invites his best friend Robert to dinner; however, things don’t go quite according to plan in this sex farce, said Director Mark Ramont.

“There’s some wacky, convoluted things going on,” Ramont said.

“There’s some mistaken identities and it just gets crazier and crazier until the whole thing explodes.”

The cast of CSUF’s production of “Don’t Dress for Dinner” stars three

acting students: Dylan David Farris as philandering husband Bernard, Chelsea Harvey as his wife Jacqueline and Miguel Castellano as Bernard’s best friend Robert.

“They’re very funny and I’m very lucky to have them,” Ramont said.

While light on the

details to avoid spoiling the show’s many surprises, Ramont encouraged students to check out one of the funniest plays he’s worked on, he said.

“You come to have a good time, to laugh, which I think is very healing and very relaxing, particularly in the

stress of the end of the year,” Ramont said. “It’s kind of a nice break from all of the angst of the world.”

“Don’t Dress for Dinner” will premiere Friday, April 22 in the Young Theatre at the Clayes Performing Arts Center and runs through May 7.

Concert series brings new wave of music Retro inspired Band strives to draw Titan community together KARLA BONILLA For the Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Associated Students, Inc. will feature a psychedelic musical performance by Frankie and the Witch Fingers as part of its Wednesday concert series at the Becker Amphitheater.

According to the band’s Facebook page, Frankie and the Witch Fingers plays “flower power fuzz pop,” recalling a heavy, ‘60s-inspired rock ‘n’ roll sound.

Despite its old-school sound, the band doesn’t want to recreate the sound of the ‘60s, but rather deliver different ideas and innovative sounds, according

to the page.

Prior to relocating to Los Angeles, Frankie and the Witch Fingers formed three years ago in Bloomington, Indiana.

The group is made up of: Dylan Sizemore on vocals and guitar, Glenn Brigman on the drums and farfisa, Josh Menashe on lead guitar and Alex Bulliz on bass.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers portrays a universal message and aims to invite the Titan community to get together.

“I think the main message is that we’re all universally together; we’re all part of the same force,” Sizemore said.

Sizemore also said the performance at CSUF will include touches of rock ‘n’ roll and will be breathtaking and exciting for the audience.

OPINION Home-schooled grads need GED exam

Students taught by their parents should be more scrutinized VERONICA MARQUEZ-ESHELBY

Daily Titan

The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is challenging vocational schools on the GED requirement necessary to be admitted to their programs. The HSLDA, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the parents’ legal rights to home-school

their children, claims trade schools should not enforce an entry GED exam for home-schooled students in order for those students to participate in the programs.

Privately owned trade schools should not have to alter their admissions requirements just to appease those who do not wish to conform to the same educational standards as traditional students.

America’s public school system is far from perfect.

Compared to the rest of the economically developed

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

countries around the world, America’s public school students would fall into the “average” category, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. However, due to the lax regulations on home schooling in most of the U.S., it is not wise to trust the education of home-schooled students without some form of formal test.

HSLDA argues that home-schooled students should not be required to take the GED exam since traditional high

school graduates are not required.

The group’s argument makes little sense since traditional high school students are taught by standards set by the state and federal governments to give students the optimal general education. These standards should not be molded or altered to benefit those who chose not to have their child in the traditional educational system.

High school diplomas and the GED exams are typically universally accepted documents of a student meeting

state educational requirements. Home-schooled students are not held to these standards, and a parent-issued diploma should not appeal vocational schools as much as a state-issued diploma.

“Vocational schools are more likely to be audited for compliance with federal higher education laws.

They’re worried that if they accept a home-schooler who doesn’t have the documentation of a public school graduate, it could cost the vocational school its accreditation,” said William

Estrada, director of Federal Relations for HSDLA. He believes that fear of the federal government may be the reason trade schools will not accept home-schooled students without a GED. The HSLDA is appealing to the authority of a public school system that it does not actually endorse. It is unfortunate that students are being turned away from vocational schools just for being home-schooled, but it’s in the schools’ best interest to vet out students that wouldn’t meet the minimum requirement.

Baseball dominates in come-from-behind win over Roadrunners CHIRSTOPHER SHEATS Daily Titan PATRICK DO / DAILY TITAN

Despite surrendering a total of seven hits, junior pitcher Cerissa Rivera only allowed one run and notched seven strikeouts in the Titans’ 8-2 win over the San Diego Toreros on Tuesday.

Pitch: Fullerton earns tenth straight win CONTINUED FROM

1

In the top of the third, the Toreros loaded the bases with one out, but two clutch Rivera strikeouts got the Titans out of the hole for the second and third outs.

“We’ve just had a very calm response to tough situations,” said Head Coach Kelly Ford. “And that’s been the key. This team responds with making an adjustment and they don’t let any one situation get too monumental.”

The third inning was the Titans’ most productive, as senior outfielder Sarah Moore led off the frame with a single up the middle.

Brooke Clemetson came in to pinch run for Moore and stole second, putting the Titans in scoring position.

Melissa Sechrest then walked, and Sydney Colenzo hit into a fielder’s choice,

but a defensive transfer error on the double play attempt allowed Clemetson to score, giving the Titans a 5-0 lead.

In the same inning, a double steal and missed throw allowed the Titan runners to advance to second and third.

Rippy came up and hit an RBI single to bring the Titans up 7-0.

San Diego came out swinging in the top of the fourth inning, as senior catcher Mary Grabowski hit a solo home run to left field, putting the Toreros on the board.

“It’s definitely relaxing knowing that I gave up that one run but that we still got this,” Rivera said.

Later in the inning, Rivera found herself in another difficult situation with runners on first and third, but a fly ball to right got the Titans out of the inning.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @DTSPORTSDESK

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Mikaela Francis hit an RBI double to take the Titans up 8-1. Morgan Paul got hit on the next pitch, putting runners on first and second with two outs, but the Titans were not able to capitalize.

The Toreros scored again in the top of the sixth inning, but with a six-run cushion, the Titans were able to fend off any offensive attempts for the remainder of the game and win 8-2.

“I don’t add up the wins in a row, but what I’m really trying to do is guide this ship with slowing the season down and just treating this game as if it’s our only game this season,” Ford said.

The Titans return to action Friday when they travel to Hawaii to take on the Rainbow Wahine for a three-game Big West Conference series.

Thanks in large part to timely hitting in the top of the fifth, the Cal State Fullerton baseball team continued its impressive month of April by beating the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners on Tuesday.

The Titans kept their momentum going as they dug another notch in the win column by beating CSUB 8-3, bringing the Titans’ overall record to 22-13.

The all-time series between the two teams had both teams perfect at home, a trend that the Titans were determined to break as they were boasting an impressive 8-2 record in the month of April.

Tuesday night’s game saw Bakersfield get off to a solid start as Dustin Frailey belted a solo home run in the bottom of the first.

The Roadrunners padded their lead in the following inning by scoring off an error, putting them up 2-0.

The Titans were held scoreless through the first four innings of the game until first baseman Tanner Pinkston hit a double to right field, bringing in two runs in the fifth inning.

The lead only grew as the Titans were able to put together two more runs before the end of the inning, extending their lead

Cal State Fullerton infielder Tanner Pinkston recorded three hits and three RBIs in Tuesday’s game against CSU Bakersfield.

to 4-2.

In the top of the sixth, Josh Vargas walked and stole second base, putting a runner in scoring position.

After Pinkston was hit by a pitch, Blaser hit an RBI single to right field. This pushed the Titan lead to 5-2.

The lead continued to grow in the following innings as the Titans were able to add three more runs in their winning effort.

Pinkston, who was recently named the Big West Conference Player of Week, led Fullerton to a win with three hits and three RBIs. Bakersfield found itself in a scoring drought, as

they were held by a stingy Titan defense until the last inning, but by then their cause was lost.

Freshman pitcher Colton Eastman had a solid outing as he gave up three hits in three innings. He struck out three and gave up two runs until he was replaced

by Brett Conine, who got the win.

CSUF, however, heavily relied on its bullpen as a total of six pitchers were sent to the mound that night.

The Titans now prepare for their fourth three-game series of the regular season as UNLV will visit Goodwin Field this weekend.
