Placentia community members gathered on the eve of 9/11 to honor the fallen. Citizens, law enforcement officers and a community choir unified in their city. Speeches from officers and American Legion leaders were given to a crowd of about 75 people. All in attendance joined together in patriotic songs throughout the night.

Placentians pay respects at their annual gathering SARAH WOLSTONCROFT Daily Titan A 9/11 Patriot Day memorial and candlelight vigil was held at the Placentia American Legion Sunday night. Legion members of Unit 277 and Placentia Police Captain Eric Point gave speeches remembering the victims of the 2001 9/11 terror attacks that took 2,977 lives. “Of that number, 72 law enforcement officers, 343 firefighters and 55 military personnel lost their lives that day. The terrorist attacks on 9/11 caused more law enforcement and firefighter line of duty deaths than any other single incident in American history,” Point said in his speech. “Since 9/11, over 1,400 rescue workers who responded to the scene in the days and months after the attacks have died as a direct result of exposure to Ground Zero.” Point acknowledged that the purpose of last night’s memorial event was to bring the community together in the face of the tragic event.

“Today, on the fifteenth anniversary of that terrible day, we gather as a community to remember the fallen and to never forget,” Point said. “It’s what, I believe, makes this community so great. We stick together, we support each other and we work as partners to keep Placentia a pleasant place to live and work.” Placentia Post Commander Richard Ramirez spoke about the unique nature of the attacks that occurred on 9/11. “We are dealing with an unconventional type of war,” Ramirez said in his speech. “When I think about this memorial event, first and foremost we want to recognize those who were victims of this unconventional war. We want to recognize those of our first responders that, regardless of the consequences, went in there and did their job gallantly without any hesitation.” Traffic Officers Andrew Dean, Frank Garza and Sergeant Joe Connell were recognized for their service to the community. Legion treasurer and creator of the memorial event Pat Alvarez presented the officers with framed certificates and survival kits for law enforcement officers including: “good cop” cups, Lifesavers to

remind them of the many times they have been one, Smarties for the wisdom to make split second decisions, Hershey Kisses to show community love for their officers, gum to help everyone stick together, Tootsie Rolls to encourage officers to roll with the punches, York Peppermint Patties to keep their cool, Mounds bars for the mounds of courage they show and Laffy Taffy to remind them that laughter is a great stress reliever. Approximately 75 people were in attendance at the American Legion this year. The memorial event was held at Placentia City Hall previously. Alvarez noted that the event doubled in size this time around. “If it gets much bigger than this, we’ll be going back to the city hall,” Alvarez said. “I invite every student (at CSUF) to come (next year).” Throughout the night, the Placentia Community Chorus performed patriotic songs to set the tone for the ceremony. Songs that were performed included the national anthem, “This is my Country,” “God Bless the U.S.A.,” “Amazing Grace” and a patriotic medley that included “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” “America the Beautiful,” “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and “God Bless America.”

“For our group, it’s really important to do these functions,” director of the Placentia Community Chorus and former Titan Donna Rodriguez said. “We’re all very patriotic Americans, and we’re patriotic Placentians. For us, this is part of our gift to the community.” During the candlelight vigil portion of the event, Rodriguez encouraged the crowd to sing along. Legion members, police officers and community members joined together hugging and humming along to the patriotic tunes. Lauri Preus was among the Placentia community members in attendance. Preus worked in the World Trade Center and on Wall Street prior to the attack, and knew five people who were killed. “I think if you grew up in New York, you know somebody who was involved,” Preus said. Preus described what she experienced in the aftermath of the attacks. “As soon as the planes started flying again, I went home. When we flew over the towers, they were still smoking, and the sky was just all dark and black,” Preus said. “We took the train into the city, and Wall Street, where I used to work, was filled with military, machine guns and

military tanks. It was surreal. The buildings were just black. It looked like the Middle East. It looked like a war zone.” Preus got chills while recounting her experience and said it was difficult for her to come to the memorial event. “I said if I don’t come tonight, it isn’t because I don’t care, it’s because it’s too hard,” Preus said. “I’m glad I came, it was a great turnout. This was a great event. I did have a lot of tears though.” Legion President Rebecca Garcia and her mother Secretary Denise Garcia also had a personal connection to the terrorist attacks. Their uncle and brother worked in between the towers and would stop in the World Trade Center before work every morning. On the day of the attack, he went to work early, saving his life. “Once we found him, we were grateful, but our hearts were heavy for all of those that we had lost,” Denise Garcia said. “It was a very difficult day. A day I don’t think any of us should forget because there were so many that lost their lives for us, and we need to continue to honor them.” Placentia Mayor Pro Tem and former Titan Craig Green was also among attendants at the memorial.

He expressed his gratitude for law enforcement first responders. “The public safety people run towards danger instead of away from it and that takes a pretty stiff heart to do that,” Green said. American Legion Commander John Paine read a poem that was submitted to the legion concerning 9/11. Submissions came from all age groups and walks of life, according to Alvarez. The poem was entitled “Why.” “Heroes rose out of the ashes to save a life that we thought was lost, never thinking what might happen, never caring what the cost. We didn’t do it for glory, we didn’t do it for fame. They only did it for what they knew was right. They are heroes that have no name,” Paine recited at the height of the poem. Point reinforced the main message of the event- the importance of remembering the men and women who lost their lives during the terrorist attack. “I don’t forget where I was when this occurred, and I’ll never forget,” Point said. “In some ways, I think some people are forgetting, and it’s events like this that hopefully keep bringing it to life.”

Study Abroad Fair provides direction Annual event offers help to prospective CSUF travelers ASHLYN RAMIREZ Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton hosted its annual Study Abroad Fair Thursday and was met with great reception from a wide variety of students. During the afternoon, the central quad was filled with various booths, both from the university and from other third party programs. The fair offers many options for traveling, financial aid and time constraints; the main goal of the study abroad program is to spread awareness and get more people active in experiencing various cultures. Associate vice president for International Programs and Global Engagement, Kari Knutson Miller, Ph.D., said that many of the booths participating in the event have been partners with the university for a number of years. “We also have external partners that come in and notice there is this energy and enthusiasm at Fullerton. For them, it’s exciting, because that’s their whole world,” Miller said. The central quad was overflowing with interested students. This year especially, faculty can see the increase in energy, enthusiasm and interest from the students on campus, Miller said. There are students coming in, expressing interest and participating in greater

numbers, Miller said. Miller, who spoke at the University Honors Program’s welcome back event last week, said the program is excited about the diversity of opportunities available for students and how they are optimistic that the momentum will continue. “In three years, our study abroad participation has increased by 83 percent,” Miller said.

KARI KNUTSON MILLER Associate vice president for International Programs and Global Engagement the amount of students who apply for aid in hopes of funding their study abroad trips is only 150-200 people a year. This is a small number compared to how many students attend CSUF, according to Michelle Simpson, a financial aid counselor. Getting financial aid for the program is easier than students think. Students already have an application on file if they have FAFSA. Simpson said that it’s all about spreading awareness. “It has to do with getting awareness out there and letting students know that financial aid is available to them,” Simpson said. Jack Hobson, director of the study abroad program,

broke it down further. There are three different models for the program and students have a choice of what works best for them. “There’s the reciprocal exchange, where we swap students between a partner university, there is a CSUF program where we have a CSUF faculty member take a group of students to go abroad, and then we augment those offerings with our third party colleagues that are in the profession who can make sure that we have enough geographic diversity and curricular diversity, ” Hobson said. Many programs are offered Through the school itself there are even more through independent third parties. Some of the companies there included CIS Abroad, AIFS Study Abroad, USAC, CEA and JET Japanese Exchange. Some of the places offered for study abroad are most parts of Europe, China, Argentina, Germany, Thailand, South America, New Zealand, Japan, Barcelona and South Korea. If a student needs financial aid assistance, there’s always something available. Also, there are many scholarships offered to students in order to help them succeed. The GPA minimum is 2.5 and one needs to at least be of junior standing (60 units) in order to apply. Some programs last up to a year, while others are about a week. The general consensus across the board is that everyone, regardless of what your life is like, should apply, Hobson said.

The Fullerton Police Department (FPD) is seeking public assistance in a reopened cold case from 2004, according to the FPD website. The investigation was regarding the stabbing of James Potter during a racially motivated fight, after a party held by the “Sexy Banging” dance crew was dispersed at the Sunny Hills Racquet Club on May 28, 2004. The case was dismissed at the time due to insufficient evidence. Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to submit a tip to the Orange County Task Force at ochtf.org, or to call either FPD Sergeant Matt Rowe at (714) 738-6776 or Orange County Homicide Task Force detective Ed Contreras at (714) 738-3320. - JASON ROCHLIN

The Titan Theatre in the Titan Student Union is home to free film screenings of hit summer blockbusters such as “Finding Dory” and “Neighbors 2” for interested Cal State Fullerton students.

ASIP brings free cinema to students

Film coordinator offers students Summer hits in the Fall PRISCILLA BUI Daily Titan

Students at Cal State Fullerton have the opportunity privilege of watching the latest blockbuster movies before they are available on DVD. On certain Thursdays of every month, students are able to view some of the most popular movies of the year for free at the Titan Student Union (TSU) Titan Theatre as part of Associated Students, Inc. Productions’ (ASI Productions) Thursday Night Film Series. Andrew Jacobsen, a psychology major, viewed the screening of “Captain America: Civil War” last Thursday. “I watched this movie in theaters a couple months back with my friends, but I think it’s cool that I can watch it again at my school,”

Jacobsen said. ASI Productions is an organization comprised of students who aim to provide free and quality entertainment to all members of the CSUF community. Phillip Law, a business administration major, joined ASI Productions’ street team to fully immerse himself into the CSUF student experience. “It’s important for me to get involved in order to understand what being a Titan is like,” Law said. The film screening venture of ASI productions has been in development for over a decade and has been playing at the Titan Theatre ever since. All the movies are usually the top movies played during that summer. Bringing the latest movies before their DVD release dates can all be credited to Sergio Oyarzabal, the ASI Productions films coordinator. On top of double majoring in health science and film, he is primarily responsible for the films that play at CSUF. In order to legally screen the movies at CSUF,

Oyarzabal said that he needed to secure the licenses to the movies first before they can be played at the Titan Theatre. To avoid any legal trouble, he obtains the rights to screen these movies from Swank Films Productions. “They’re very strict about it,” Oyarzabal said. “They send us the DVD and we have to put in a code and not share that code (in order) to be able to play the movie.” Generally, if a movie doesn’t do well in the box office, Swank Film Productions would not want to pay for that license. Last year, there was an occurrence where a film already printed on the Thursday Night Film Series schedule could not be screened because Swank Film Productions did not pay for the license. “This was really rare. I’ve never seen that happen – only that one time, but it was really easy to find another film,” Oyarzabal said. Starting this year, Oyarzabal is putting up posters for upcoming films in the lobby area outside of the Titan Theatre during the

time that they are screened, akin to what theater patrons would normally see while walking in the lobby of a regular movie theater. On the days which the films show in the theater, there are posters advertising future screenings such as “The Secret Life of Pets” or “Finding Dory.” Oyarzabal feels as though this brings an element of a genuine film-going experience to students. “My position is to provide that magical movie experience,” Oyarzabal said. “I want to replicate it.” A lot of people who go to actual movie theaters like to keep their movie ticket as collectibles, Oyarzabal said. To replicate the cinema experience even further, he and the ASI Productions’ marketing team created exclusive movie tickets for students to not only have as keepsakes, but to provide them a chance to win prizes in a drawing at the end of each screening. Perhaps the best part of the Thursday Night Film

Series is that students are able to watch these films for free because the screenings are already paid for by their student fees. Members of ASI Productions make sure that student fees aren’t being wasted when it comes to these movies, Oyarzabal said. A portion of student fees goes into ASI Productions and with that money, the organization is dedicated to enhancing students’ lives at CSUF. “I didn’t know our school can do cool stuff like this, so I don’t have to really wait for it to come on DVD anymore,” Jacobsen said. “It’s kind of like going to the movies but better because it’s free.” The three general showtimes for the film series are 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. The 4 p.m. showing usually has the lowest amount of viewers because students are still in their classes, but it tends to get busier at the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. showtimes, Oyarzabal said. With all three showings combined, the attendance

ranges from 200 to 250 students, Oyarzabal said. However, it also really depends on what movie is being screened. “For blockbuster hits like, let’s say, ‘The Avengers: Age of Ultron,’ when I was not films coordinator, I remember coming in and all the seats were taken.” Oyarzabal said. One of Oyarzabal’s favorite things to do in life is to go to a movie theater because it’s a magical place to him. Since college students’ lives can be stressful, Oyarzabal enjoys spreading this kind of magic into their lives through movies to relieve that pressure. With complimentary snacks and drinks and a customized movie ticket as a memento, there’s no reason not to go the Titan Theatre for a great movie experience. “What I’m providing is an opportunity to escape for two hours and join an adventure with Captain America and get lost in the seas of Finding Dory,” Oyarzabal said.

TITAN TOONS

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

Print is frantic to stay contemporary Newspapers might be dying but nostalgia keeps them breathing KALEB STEWART Daily Titan Contrary to popular belief, the format of print journalism is not dead. There is still a place for newspapers as long as there are those who still want to read them, regardless of what platform they are published on. Just like there are still traditional radio stations and books, it will be decades before we see the end of print news. Its glory days are in fact far from left behind. Similar to how records are sold at the local Urban Outfitters, there will be readers who genuinely enjoy the feeling of getting their news through real print between their fingers. That being said, record sales are increasing by a surprising amount, according to Fortune. This can be explained by nostalgia for old media. Print will follow the same pattern, as a quaint artifact that while still available, lacks the convenience of having news instantly at your fingertips. A 7 percent drop in print circulation was recorded in 2016. Interestingly enough, the reason this happened was because of a 9 percent drop in print circulation since digital circulation increased 2 percent, according to a study by the PewResearchCenter. Sadly the reality points to print being

quite a large problem for publications. While this is a considerable drop, it is far from a death toll. Even if the market is shrinking, there still is a market and that’s what is important to consider when saying “newspapers are dying.” When publications such as The Independent in the United Kingdom turn toward the world of online only publication, it is clear that the market is sadly beginning to dry out. “The newspaper industry is changing, and that change is being driven by readers,” said Evgeny Lebedev, owner of The Independent. It is important to iterate that the foundation of online journalism comes from the seeds planted by the practices of print. Without print, there couldn’t be online journalism. This seems to be something that many forget when spewing dialogue of the demise of newspapers. This shift to online news can be explained by the fact that a newspaper’s usage of advertising has a more limited reach than that of online advertising, which could potentially reach anyone around the world rather than the limited number of people that pick up the hard copy. The necessity for online news provides more for the public in an instantaneous fashion, which is key for breaking news. Since ad revenue is a huge source of income for newspapers, many are choosing to close the doors on print and rely

exclusively on their web content since it is such a cheaper alternative. Online advertising goes further than putting out an ad in the local newspaper because of its reach across multiple audiences, but it’s still not the same as holding a newspaper. Online ads can be impersonal and fueled only by getting a name out there, whereas print ads can pertain to anything locally related, adding a somewhat personal touch. Books have run into the same problem, but they have still found a way to stay afloat in a sea of eBooks and online access. It was previously thought that the printed word would die out and be overtaken by eBooks by 2015. However, it’s actually the digital distribution of books that has begun to decline in sales recently, according to the New York Times. It’s looking like the digital side of the business is leveling off, eliminating the idea that print media is no longer relevant. While some will prefer to read a book or the news on a phone or tablet, there will most certainly always be some who prefer the feel of paper or the sound of a scratchy record. Newspapers are becoming niche, something that is no longer a requirement for engagement in the news. There is a very real possibility that print will proceed to live, but only barely and most publications will move to a different platform. Readers will come to its side, though, with just enough air to fill its lungs for enough gasping breaths to stay conscious, but never quite thriving. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

Freshman forward Atlanta Primus (left) and sophomore midfielder Amanda Larsson (right) battle for position inside the 18-yard box during a set piece in Cal State Fullerton’s 3-0 victory over the University of Alabama last Friday.

Consistency elusive for women’s soccer HARRISON FAIGEN Daily Titan For the second weekend in a row, Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer was unable to string together a pair of wins. The Titans’ win over the University of Alabama at Birmingham was offset by a loss to Oregon, with the 1-1 homestand bringing their record to 3-4 on the year. It initially appeared that Titans would be able to maintain their momentum from last Sunday’s win when junior Connie Caliz found the back of

the net 52 seconds into the match against UAB. “I just decided to crash through (Tala Haddad’s pass),” Caliz said. “With my face or whatever part of my body I could.” Fullerton continued to perform well offensively throughout the game, outshooting its opponents 15-3. UAB actually scored what would have been the equalizer in the 23rd minute, but the goal was called back as offsides. The disallowed goal would be the Blazers’ best chance of the night. The Titans took the lucky break and ran with it, taking a 2-0 lead into the half after Haddad found the top right corner of the net for her second goal of the season. The shot was

from nearly the same spot as her goal last week. “I shot it with confidence, probably because I did it last game.” Haddad said. UAB did not seriously threaten to score after that, as CSUF kept possession of the ball for the majority of the half.

Fullerton can’t kick scoring woes despite Friday explosion

DEMIAN BROWN Head Coach The Titans secured the win when Nano Oronoz was fouled in the 64th minute, setting up a free kick for Caliz. Her shot was blocked, but the

first half of their evening match. That was one more shot than the Ducks had managed through the 43rd minute, until midfielder

Bayley Bruner put in her first goal of the season on a cross from Shaylee Miner. The goal left CSUF staring at a 1-0 deficit heading into halftime, and the Titans were unable to score an equalizer in the second half, leaving their record at 3-4 on the year. “To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement,” said Head Coach Demian Brown. “There are a lot of things that we went backwards in today, a lot of things we have to pay attention to in our training in the upcoming weeks. We felt really good about our performance on Friday but any good championship team has to back that up with an equal or better performance on Sunday, and

that’s what we failed to do today.” Despite giving up the score, Brown felt his team had done enough defensively to win. Offensively is where he says they need to figure things out. “Lack of attitude from our goalscorers right now,” Brown said when asked about his team’s scoring difficulties after the Titans were shutout for the fourth time this season. “We’ve got to develop that in some of our players.” Fullerton will look to continue that development process next week when it hits the road for a Friday contest against Arizona State, followed by a Sunday match against UNLV.

CSUF takes control late in undefeated weekend

Heilmann continues to help fuel offense in 4-1, 1-0 victories HAYLEY M. SLYE Daily Titan

The weekend in Titan men’s soccer was a tale of two very different offensive efforts. The Fullerton offense exploded against Memphis Friday, taking the game 4-1 and blanking the Tigers in the second half. It was a balanced scoring effort as four different Titans netted a goal. Diego Sanchez was the first Titan to contribute, firing a well-placed ball from Ruben Alvarez off the post from 10 yards. Ronaldo Pineda, Robert Coronado and Alex Heilmann all came through in the second half. Pineda’s curling free kick goal and Coronado’s 20-yard strike came within three minutes of each other. “Robert Coronado scored a goal I’ve seen 300 times in practice and have been waiting for three years in a game,” Head Coach George Kuntz said in a press release.

The Fullerton defense allowed just two shots on goal throughout the entire game, allowing the offense to outshoot the Tigers 11-2. Heilmann laid the final blow, rolling one past the goalkeeper in the 80th minute. On Sunday, the offense went nearly silent in the matchup with UT Rio Grande Valley. Neither team scored until 102 minutes into the game, when Heilmann, assisted by Coronado, netted a shot from seven yards. Prior to that, Fullerton outshot UTRGV 15-5, managing seven shots on goal compared to the Vaquero’s two. Fullerton has gone into overtime in half of its games this season. Its first two games went into double overtime and overtime, respectively. Heilmann had a hat trick on Sept. 2 against UNLV, and has scored six of the Titans’ 11 total goals in 2016. With the weekend success, Fullerton improves to .500 on the season. The Titans will conclude their eight-game road swing against San Francisco and St. Mary’s this weekend before returning for their home opener on Sept. 25.

ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

GEMINI

Quick thinking is stimulated by an energetic square between cerebral Mercury and red-hot Mars. Unfortunately, you lack patience with someone who can’t keep up with your pace.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

Although you’re often tentative in your expression, today you’re ready to take an emotional risk. An argumentative Mercury-Mars square inspires you to be uncharacteristically impulsive, yet it may be difficult to manage the collateral damage if you jump right in before knowing all the facts.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

You may struggle with an individual at work who is unwilling to give an inch today. Unfortunately, you could be fighting a losing battle if challenged by someone in power.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

Passive-aggressive messages may be accompanied with a smile today, but you still know if someone is being unkind to you. A hard square between snappy Mercury and pushy Mars prompts spontaneous replies that produce hurt feelings.

LIBRA

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Your rapid-fire thinking allows you to spout off-the-cuff answers today that just might work. However, it’s all too easy to slip into verbal sparring when every comment elicits a snappy comeback.

Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball started the weekend slow, dropping its first two games before bouncing back Friday and Saturday night to finish the Quality Inn-Placentia Fullerton Classic 2-2. The Titans (5-6) could not overcome losing the first two sets of Thursday night’s game, eventually falling to Air Force 3-1 in their first game of the series. The Falcons were led by

Elizabeth Pennington and Abigail Miksch. Pennington finished the game with 22 kills and a 37.5 kill percentage while Miksch added 18 kills on 41 attempts. Sophomore Madeline Schneider led the Titans with 16 kills, while freshman Meagan Carlson added 12 kills and five digs. With a doubleheader on Friday, the Titans did not have much time to recover. In the first game, Fullerton couldn’t hang on against Weber State after splitting the first two sets, losing 3-1. Despite being out of action since Aug. 27, the Wildcat trio of Amanda Varley, Megan Gneiting and Rylin Roberts unloaded 40 out of 55 total kills for Weber State.

Shimen Fayad posted a double-double for the Titans with 13 kills and 12 digs, while Summer Kerins added 12 kills on 19 attempts. Schneider struggled in Friday afternoon’s game, recording just two kills on 14 attempts.

double-double for the Titans with 12 kills and 20 digs, while freshman setter Rachel Hall delivered a career-high 43 assists. “The set’s perfect every time,” Schneider said. “I always forget that she’s a freshman. She talks to me like she’s a senior and it’s amazing to have that support from her too.” Citadel set the ball for junior Moriah Smith the majority of the game. The junior responded with 21 kills. Saturday’s game saw Fullerton beat the Raiders 3-2 to split the tournament. It was the Titans’ first win in five sets this season. First-year transfers Fayad and Schneider continued

to stand out for the Titans. Both posted double-doubles in the game, with 18 kills and 20 digs and 19 kills and 10 digs, respectively. It was Fayads’ third consecutive game putting up double figures in both kills and digs. Aside from a lopsided fourth set, the score was tight throughout. “Our passing broke down completely in the fourth set,” Preston said. Both teams picked up their energy in the final set before Hall came up with the match point kill for the Titans. Cal State Fullerton will head south for the SDSU/USD California Mixer, facing San Jose State on Friday.
