Theft rampant on CSUF campus

University Police advises students to be vigilant

SARAH WOLSTONCROFT WILLIAM OLIVIERI Daily Titan Larceny and theft constituted 84.2 percent of the total crime occurring on campus during 2015, and 92 thefts have occurred on campus in 2016 so far.

There have been over ten accounts of larceny and theft reported since the 2016 fall semester started, according to the CSUF campus crime log.

The most commonly stolen items are phones, laptops and bicycles, according to police captain Scot Willey.

“We have a plethora of things to steal,” Willey said.

“There’s bikes that people come and take because there’s thousands of them on campus, and they are parked and left alone a lot of times.”

Often times thieves will use bolt cutters to cut away the locks from bikes, said Willey.

“Sometimes people catch onto it and see what they’re doing, but they’re really fast. The other ones are people that have thousand dollar bikes that buy a $12 chain to put on it,” Willey said.

The University Police Department suggests purchasing a U-lock to decrease a student’s chance of

Another option for students is to register their bicycles with the University

According to Willey, registering bicycles has aided police in recovering stolen materials.

Performance ties into worldwide issues A collaborative piece brings intensity to exhibit PRISCILLA BUI Daily Titan Some performances go beyond what ordinary words can express.

At the “Exploring The Nowannago: Kentifrican Modes of Resistance” exhibit in the CSUF Grand Central Art Center, the spotlight was on two artists as they played an intricate and complex game of tug of war. The double noose that tied them together was not wrapped around their hands, but around their throats.

Both performers’ faces were contorted with tension as the tug of war ensued due to the noose tightening around one’s neck as the other prowled around the boundaries that was set by a large circle of soil.

The performance and the exhibit is a collaboration between Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle and Tyler Matthew Oyer, who both make a habit of digging soil indigenous to the place of which they perform.

Cal State Fullerton’s Gastronome staff hold themselves to a higher standard following a complaint last semester.

“We look at this like if it was a restaurant and we come to this campus with a level of hospitality,” said Rhonda Robinson, Food Service Director with Aramark at the Gastronome.

The cafeteria-like breakfast, lunch and dinner stop works on the Aramark standard. Aramark is the company that provides the food service at the Gastronome.

“Aramark has very rigorous policies and procedures and standards,” Robinson said.

The ITT Technical Institute is shutting down campuses nationwide after the U.S. Education Department forbade the school to enroll new students who applied with federal financial aid, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The shutdown will displace about 35,000 students and leave another 8,000 employees jobless. Former ITT students will have the option to either apply for loan forgiveness or transfer their credits to another college but forfeit their right to apply for loan forgiveness.

The ITT closure comes after a similar shutdown with Corinthian Colleges Inc., another for-profit institute, where the U.S. Education Department forgave $171 million in student loans.

The TSU plans to host two more bowling tournaments this semester - one in October and another November. The competitions are free to join and ASI provides prizes for the winners.

TSU hosts student bowling contest

Peers compete in the fall semester’s first TBB tournament NIKKI NADVORNICK Daily Titan

Titan pride was on display in the Titan Student Union Underground Tuesday as participants gathered their bowling balls and shoes to compete in the ASI sponsored bowling tournament.

“We just started (TBB Bowling Tournament) about maybe a year ago, but we weren’t really consistent with it until this past semester under new management,” said Daniel Guerrero, TSU Underground front desk attendant.

As game one began, the lanes went quiet while

four out of the five competitors got in their positions. Positioned on lane one, competitor Daniel Chyan, a Mechanical engineering major, wore his headphones throughout the first game in order to keep focus.

After deciding to scratch the first game and battling it out in the second, Chun and Khoa Phan were constantly neck and neck.

Chun fell behind Phan by nine pins in both the first and second game.

In game three, both of their fifth frames were even at 65, followed by a strike from both players in the sixth frame.

The tenth frame approached and Phan reigned supreme by a slight difference of five points (135-130).

This was Phan’s first

time competing as he ended the tournament with nothing but smiles. “(Bowling) is my favorite sport. When I play, I feel happy,” Phan said.

Although Phan took first place, this will not be Chun’s last attempt at it.

Chun stated that he would definitely be returning to compete in the October tournament to try and earn a first place finish. “(Bowling) is a fun sport, I think everyone should try it out. I mean, I’m pretty sure everyone has played bowling, but if you want to go competitive, you should definitely go for it,” Chun said.

For students interested in competing at one of these future bowling tournaments, sign-ups are available at the bowling desk located in TSU Underground.

Giant panda is not endangered National Geographic reported Sunday that the giant panda bear has been removed from the endangered species list, according to the International Body for Species Protection.

The removal from the list is credited to an expansion in the animal’s protective habitat and a decrease in poaching.

The panda was officially upgraded from endangered to vulnerable on the Red List of Threatened Species, managed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Giant panda populations have increased by 17 percent until 2014, according to National Geographic.

An estimated 1,850 wild pandas live in China as of 2014, which is an increase from the 2003 census report of 1,600.

The University Police Department has a mile radius outside of campus. While they “average anywhere from 400 to 600 arrests a year, most of these are non-students,” Willey said.

Fullerton Police Department statistics also reflect a citywide problem, showcasing theft at an average of 43.5 percent of the total crime in Fullerton. Motor vehicle theft is calculated separately and constitutes an average of 15.2 percent, according to Raids Online.

Willey also said phones and laptops are targeted items because students often leave their valuables unattended.

“We have laptops sitting out, you know all kinds of things that are readily available.” Willey said. He explained how easy it is to steal things on campus.

“Everybody comes here, especially if you’re 18 or 19 years old, and we all trust each other. We’re all Titans. That’s the biggest thing, kind of the naivety that comes along with that.”

One CSUF student experienced theft this semester after leaving his laptop unattended in the bathroom, according to Jeremy Vall, Library Service Specialist.

“He came to the desk and we called the campus police,” Vall said. “The guy left his laptop in the bathroom when he went into the stall and someone walked out with his laptop.”

Titan Shops was also hit on the first day of classes this semester, according to Michael

Clemons, Titan Shops Senior Manager of Operations.

While some of the theft in the shops is as small as a number two pencil or a scantron, it can be as much as multiple textbooks, which are the most common items stolen.

However, in rare instances the bookstore experiences theft of clothing or technological devices.

Rather than stealing textbooks for actual educational purposes, the bigger reason students steal textbooks is to immediately sell them back to book stores or online vendors.

“The nice thing is that we have very close relationships with some of the online booksellers as well as Little Professors,” Clemons said. “We do kind of work together in terms of loss prevention and give each other a head’s-up in exchanging information in terms of things that may seem suspicious.”

Clemons said there are multiple ways to prevent, identify and catch theft including good customer service and staying alert.

Titan Shops contracts with the community service officers through the University Police Department who handles its loss prevention, but rely on a combination of police assistance and its own employees to have “another set of eyes and ears out there,” Clemons said.

If caught stealing, students may jeopardize their standing at Cal State Fullerton and will be required to pay restitution in addition to returning the stolen materials, Clemons said.

WILLIAM OLIVIERI / DAILY TITAN

Larcency/theft is the highest among the crime on campus with 84.2 percent. It is trailed by burglary at 6.9 percent, assault at 1.2 percent and stolen vehicle at 3.1 percent.

“If a retail value of what was stolen is up to $100, the damages we seek would be $100,” Clemons said. “If it’s $101 to $250, we would seek $250 in damages. If any retail value is $251 or above, we would seek the maximum, which is $500.”

University Police attempts to cope with the theft problem but are limited by staffing.

“We’re lucky to have three or four officers on a shift at a time,” Willey said. “We’re here 24/7, all 365 days a year.

We’re always here but we’re not always plentiful.”

The University Police advises students not to leave their valuables alone. They suggest that students should invest in any anti-theft tools available to them, including items like car alarms, Willey said.

“If it’s valuable to you, it’s

going to be valuable to somebody else,” Willey said.

The University Police Department relies on the help of students and community service officers to report theft and other crimes on campus.

“If you see something, say something,” Willey said.

Dining: Gastronome sets high standards CONTINUED FROM

On Feb. 21, the Gastronome received reports that undercooked chicken was served to a group of students.

The complaint prompted an inspection by Department of Risk Management and Environmental Health & Safety Inspector Justine Baldacci three days after, according to the CSUF Food Facility Inspection Reports.

Baldacci conducted a routine inspection of the Gastronome on Aug. 23, awarding it a rating of 93 out of 100–its third consecutive “A,” according to the report filed on the CSUF Risk Management and Environmental Health & Safety website.

The staff’s dedication to maintaining health and safety standards is the result of the three consecutive “A’s”, said Larry Martin, director of Housing and Residence Life.

Robinson believes that upholding Aramark’s high

expectations everyday will prevent any incident similar to what happened last semester.

It’s a new school year, and with that, there are goals for the Gastronome.

According to Martin, one goal is to continue to engage with the community in a variety of ways.

“A big piece in their connection and engagement is here in the Gastronome, seeing programming that is taking place in partnership with Aramark and Housing & Residence Life throughout the year,” Martin said.

The engagement that Gastronome chef Ubirajara Martins and Robinson have with students began since the welcome openings by welcoming them to their home, Martin said.

Students have a variety of ways to communicate any new food or any comments they have about the Gastronome. Some of them are through social media, by call or text, by emailing, through “napkin talk” or by speaking with Robinson.

“Napkin talk” is a way students can anonymously write down their thoughts about the food and post it on a bulletin board by the Gastronome dish return.

Robinson remembers that once “lemon pie” was written on a napkin. She took it down, spoke with the chef about it, and within three days, there was lemon pie.

Students who have meal plans at the Gastronome expressed their thoughts about it.

Freshman Victor Saude, who is on a seven-day meal plan, said he liked that he can eat as much as he wants and whenever he wants.

Freshman business major Grant Hirata is not satisfied with the operation hours.

“I don’t like how it’s open until eight o’clock because sometimes I’ll be eating dinner way too late and they’re already closing,” Hirata said.

At the Gastronome they want to connect with the community and provide the best service to the students.

ROBERTO MUNIZ / DAILY TITAN

Following a complaint involving raw chicken that was served to students on Feb. 21, the CSUF Gastronome is looking to focus more on upholding high standards and engaging with the student body.

Uncommon languages on display CSUF Pollack Library explores languages that are rarely spoken JASON ROCHLIN Daily Titan While the Pollak Library is usually abuzz with the hustle and bustle of students going inside to study, the Salz-Pollak Atrium Gallery serves as a quiet place to relax, learn and reflect on the human race’s abilities to communicate – thanks to its currently hosted exhibit.

Tim Brooke’s “Endangered Alphabets” exhibit was brought to the Pollak Library on July 15, as a way to draw “attention to linguistic disappearance and cultural erosion with the intent of playing an active role in preserving endangered cultures,” according to the Pollak Library website.

“I just think I was drawn to it because I like the idea of conveying a really important

social and political message through art,” said Patricia Prestinary, CSUF’s University Archivist and co-curator of the exhibition. There are three main components to the exhibit: the “Writing as Art Collection,” the “Article One Collection” and the “Sacred Spaces Installation.”

The “Writing as Art Collection,” which is closest to the gallery’s entrance, features a series of singular characters from different languages carved onto maple wood slabs that represent the evolution of increasingly complex languages.

“They’re not really words; they’re ideas represented with symbols, sort of like the beginnings of language,” Prestinary said. “Then as it progresses it moves into a letter, a word, an abbreviation and onto even more complex ideas.”

Continuing with the theme of language progression, the second part of the exhibition, the “Article One Collection,” consists of various carved maple slabs that depict the first

article of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights written in different endangered languages. “‘The Article One’ wall (holds the most impact) because you’re seeing the same words written over and over again in different languages, and some people find that to be very revealing,” Prestinary said.

The final section of the exhibit, “Sacred Spaces Installation,” holds the only artwork in the gallery that isn’t protected by glass walls. It features four large wooden slabs arranged in a circle that each have a poem written out in various endangered languages.

“The Sacred (Space) is interesting... It’s right under the vents so when you walk in, it’s a little bit cooler,” said Maria Monzon Gutierrez, a junior Spanish major who visited the exhibit. “It’s probably on purpose, I imagine, and it gives it a little bit of a different feel.”

Throughout each of the three parts of the exhibit is ambient noise playing from an

iPad near the “Sacred Spaces Instillation.”

Provided

by Timothy Pasch, the chair of the Department of Communications at the University of North Dakota, the noise consists of a group of people speaking the Inuktitut, Cree and Mitchif languages over an instrumental riff that plays on repeat. “(Tim’s) intention there was to allow the viewer to think about the connection between the written word that they’re seeing and the other languages that they’re hearing through the recording,” Prestinary said. “It allows the viewer the chance to experience the sound as well as the visual aspect of language.”

Each of the three parts of the exhibit features plaques that teach visitors about the origins and fates of people who speak the languages that are depicted. There’s also a book toward the entrance for anyone to leave comments about their thoughts on the exhibit as a whole.

“It’s interesting to read

the things besides the panels,” Monzon Gutierrez said.

“With a lot of them, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of the piece.”

Prestinary said the “Endangered Alphabets” exhibit does a great job in conveying a message about the significant cultural importance of the written word.

“Because I’m the university archivist, my business is

preservation,” Prestinary said.

“So even though this isn’t directly related to our university and its archives, special collections and the idea of preserving for the future, it still appeals to me on many levels.”

The “Endangered Alphabets” exhibit will be open until Sept.

23, after which the Salz-Pollak Atrium Gallery will close to prepare for the “A Country Called Syria” exhibit, opening Oct. 1.

Theater productions coming Fall 2016

The Fall lineup starts Sept. 23 with “Anna in the Tropics” ANTHONY BAGHDADY Daily Titan

The College of the Arts is making the 2016-2017 academic year an exciting and entertaining time for students. There’s a multitude of theater productions that are taking place this year, from Jane Austen to Nilo Cruz to John Patrick Shanley.

Tickets average about $12 for students, and are well worth the money.

CSUF boasts both excellent theater and dance departments and who knows, you may just get lucky and end up with some tickets to see the next Kevin Costner. He was, after all, a Titan in his time.

The 2016 production lineup kicks off with “Anna in the Tropics,” a

2003 Pulitzer Prize winner written by Nilo Cruz and directed by Fidel Gomez.

This gem is set in a Cuban-American cigar factory during the late ‘20s and boasts arcane literary allusions to the works of Tolstoy. It will make its premiere Sept. 23 and will be having shows a few days a week until its last show Oct. 9, at the Young Theatre. Tickets are now on sale.

Next on the ticket is “Italian American Reconciliation,” written by John Patrick Shanley and directed by Maria Cominis.

The play follows Huey, a man who feels like he has lost his virility without the ability of regaining it until he wins back his ex-wife who, incidentally, shot and killed his dog.

This lighthearted comedy is full of twists and turmoil.

“Italian American Reconciliation,” will be

having shows at the Hallberg Theatre. It will be showing from Oct. 7 through the 30, with tickets going on sale this Friday.

“Antigone,” directed by Travis Donnelly, begins Oct. 14 and carries on until Oct. 30 in the Arena Theatre. Tickets for “Antigone” are $5 for students and go on sale Sept. 16.

The “Fall Dance Theatre” is being coordinated

by Gladys Kares and will have eight performances from Oct. 20 to Oct. 30th in the Little Theatre. The CSUF Dance Team was one of only four teams selected from over 500 university dance teams across the nation to perform at the Inside/Out American College Dance National Gala Highlights Concert. Tickets for the “Fall Dance Theatre” go on sale Sept. 22.

“Pride and Prejudice,” Jane Austen’s renowned novel about the life of a

young woman of the British gentry, was adapted for the stage by Jon Jory and will be shown in the Young Theatre, Nov. 4 through Nov. 20th. Directed by Mark Ramont, tickets go on sale Oct. 7.

“The Drowsy Chaperone,” with it’s five Tony Awards and phenomenal critical acclaim has to be the must-see of the season. Hailed by New York Magazine as “the perfect Broadway musical,” it features music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison. Directed by Sarah Ripper, “The Drowsy Chaperone” will be running from Nov. 18 to Dec. 3 in the Little Theatre. Tickets for “The Drowsy Chaperone” will go on sale Oct. 21.

The new “Zelda” brings back childhood nostaliga KENYA BARRETT Daily Titan

For all of you gamers out there, I have exciting news.

Nintendo finally announced that another installment in the “The Legend of Zelda” series titled “Breath of the Wild,” set to be released in 2017.

I’ve been a video game lover for most of my life. Having two older brothers didn’t really give me the option to not like video games, but hey, I’m not complaining. In the beginning of my gaming years, I mainly played the Nintendo 64. It was more child friendly to me, as opposed to the PlayStation. Of course, one of my favorite games for the system was “Mario Kart 64”, which I always had a blast playing.

Eventually, I upgraded to the “The Legend of Zelda” series, a decision that I’ll never regret.

Link and I met for the first time in 1998, when I played “Ocarina of Time.” He was super blocky, short and quiet. Come to think of it, I don’t think Link ever spoke in any of his games other than his loud shrieks when he jumps or attacks. Every so often, I’d become frustrated in the game, especially in the beginning when Link had to find his first sword and shield. Running around collecting and saving FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

up rupees helped a great deal, especially when I needed to buy health potions. But the main weapons you need, you have to find in treasure chests.

That’s something Nintendo made a requirement for players even in the newer versions of the games.

So when I heard that Link was coming back with a whole new game and storyline, I was as giddy as a school-aged child. “Breath of the Wild” is scheduled for release in March 2017. One of the most highly anticipated games for that year, “Breath of the Wild” will be available for the Wii U console as well as Nintendo’s newest console, currently known as the NX. Talk about suspense.

Clips of the gameplay for “Breath of the Wild” have been revealed to the public via E3, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. It’s safe to say that Link is definitely a trending topic all over the web.

The actual gameplay looks amazing in the videos I’ve seen. Link seems more powerful than ever, and his attack moves are very acrobatic and flawless. The enemies seem bigger and faster than previous games, but I know that won’t be a match for Link.

I did notice in most of the videos that Link isn’t sporting his usual green hat. You can actually see his blonde braided hair blowing in the wind.

Although, I love Link and his trademark hat, I appreciate the extra step the developers took to make the graphics more

Link will return to his fans, looking the fierest he’s ever looked in years. His adventures are sure to be action packed.

realistic by including a breeze that actually makes his hair move.

The mechanics and display in the game give off a “Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker” feel, but a little less cartoonish. The graphics might actually be a combination of “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker,” “Twilight Princess” and “Skyward Sword” all in in one. Each version of Link in those games are very different. “Wind Waker” Link was more cartoonish-looking and frail, but the storyline was less intense and dark than “Twilight Princess.” In “Twilight Princess,” Link looked more defined and serious. You can see it all in the arch of his eyebrows. However, Link reverted back to a friendlier appearance in “Skyward Sword,” where his features were more rounded and colorful. These are the features I appreciated growing up.

In addition, “Breath of the Wild” will be introducing a new line of weapons that will align with the story as players go along. Some of the weapons will include: a Bokoblin’s arm, an iron sledgehammer and even a fire rod. The new weapons sound cool, but I hope they aren’t difficult to use and annoying to maintain. Whatever happened to the very basic Master Sword and Hylian Shield? Man, I miss those days. Still, I am interested to see how the developers incorporated the use of the Wii remote and nun-chuck as the sword and shield in this game.

Watching Link transform over the years to the character he is now is quite amazing.

Nintendo has done a wonderful job of keeping the storyline and mechanics of every game fun and challenging. I’m super stoked to see what “Breath of the Wild” has in store for us.

The performers for the “Exploring The Nowannago” exhibit display a fierce improvised game of tug of war – the double noose representing the Nowannago. The performance represents a forced mating ritual. If the woman wins she gains her freedom, while if the man wins, the woman becomes his concubine.

Ritual: Performers portray social struggles CONTINUED FROM

1

“That’s a really important ritual because it’s about honoring the lives of people, plants, animals and living beings that were here before us,” Hinkle said.

Hinkle also said that the exhibit as a whole stems from a project about a contested geography called “Kentifrica” that many people might not know existed.

Kentifrica was a primarily unknown geography because it had never been formally colonized throughout history.

Hinkle had been working on the project for seven to eight years. “It entails collaborating with people in order to figure out what Kentifrica is what Kentifrica means in relationship to being empowered to tell your own stories and your own history,” he said.

The double noose served as a representation of Nowannago, forcing a mating ritual between a British or Portuguese male trader and a Kentifrican woman. If the woman won, she would be free; otherwise, losing meant that she would be enslaved as the man’s concubine.

On an abstract level, the double noose connected the past and the present by telling a rather dangerous story of a European man and a

Kentifrican woman that teetered between independence and subordination. The performance was also able to transcend into issues plaguing the world today.

“This piece and this exhibition is really inspired by what’s going on globally and nationally in relationship to white supremacy, the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQ awareness and so many instances of trauma that afflict a lot of marginalized communities,” Hinkle said.

John Spiak, director and chief curator of the GCAC, was responsible for providing the exhibit a home in the art center. He said that the exhibit was a good way to open a dialogue about the world’s current problems.

“How do we bring those forward to have civil discourse?” Spiak said. “To have a conversation; to bring it to the forefront in both exhibition and performance in a way that allow people to speak in a public setting; to allow people to voice it in a way that provides almost a safe zone through the arts.”

Spiak said that an exhibit like “Exploring The Nowannago” is an interactive and new approach to breaking down such structures. Prior to this live and recent performance, Spiak had only seen it on video format. Even so, the experience still had a

powerful impact on him.

“I felt the intensity of the performers. I felt their struggle. I felt a little scared for both of them because I think they take the performance to levels that I know I humanly couldn’t,” Spiak said.

Part of that fear could be instilled in the fact that the performance itself is entirely improvisational.

“Tyler and I don’t know what’s going to happen each time we perform it,” Hinkle

said. “The noose could kill both of us. We really don’t know.”

Oyer further explained that even as the performance escalates into moments that are extreme or violent, both performers always talk about how important it is to take care of the other during the act.

“It’s intense to both confront Kenyatta on the other side of a double noose, but also to put myself in a noose,” Oyer said. “But then

there’s also an excitement to the liveness, but also to this idea that we’re both working toward something beyond where we’re at right now.”

However, both artists were mentally and physically safe by the end of the performance, surrounded by cheers and applause.

“It can be very dangerous, but it’s important because this performance creates this kind of abstract confrontation with all of

these issues that are going on and it also represents how we’re chained to the past and to the present at the same time,” Hinkle said.

Along the exhibit’s white walls is a chalkboard border filled with names. With chalk provided by the art center, visitors are welcome to write down the names of those whose lives have been lost to any severe societal injustices.

The exhibit will run until Oct. 16.

OPINION FBI hacking leaves public vulnerable

PAGE 6 SPETEMBER 7, 2016 WEDNESDAY

Rule 41 is against constitution by invading privacy RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan On June 27, the United Nations thankfully declared that human rights should be extended to online, meaning online freedom and privacy laws need to be implemented. Although this is a great step forward in making the internet as serviceable as it is intended to be, there are still facets that have yet to be recognized and/or fixed.

The biggest growing concern that many are not aware is, but should be, is that of the Supreme Court allowing the FBI to unrestrictedly hack any computer involved in a pending cyber case whether it be a victim or a suspect.

This is more commonly referred to as Rule 41.

The Department of Justice finally got what it wanted in April, as judges gave authorization to the FBI to basically grant warrants to search authorization to the FBI that basically grants it a warrant to search any device it wants within its region with the help of Malware.

Using Malware to infiltrate any computer leaves it compromised and at risk of anything or anyone out there skilled enough to invade.

Senator Ron Wyden has been actively fighting against this rule change that will be finalized by December-unless he can stop it by continuing to bring legislations forward and inform the public of Rule 41’s threat to public privacy.

If passed, Rule 41 will be undermining the United Nation’s decision to transfer human rights online. To

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

The malware the FBI is using to mass-hack the public is causing U.S. citizens to be succeptable to any other form of hacking from a third party. If the ruling is not denied

by December, then the agency is completely free of any restrictions when investigating a case, which means no privacy for anyone in the area.

illustrate the problem, Rule 41 would be like having the FBI search your house unannounced for a murderer in your town, leaving the door open when they’re finished so that your house is now unprotected and vulnerable.

Wyden has made his legislative statement simple and more inclined towards a concern for the people rather than railing on the FBI. “For me the bottom line is any proposal in this area has got to have more protections for law abiding

Americans and I am not convinced the oversight of a single judge is the best way to do this,” Wyden said to Gizmodo, an online gadget and electronic news outlet.

Wyden has also expressed concern over the fact that the DOJ was the one to propose this law and have it passed-this most certainly should not have happened.

“This is a question for the Congress. An agency like the Department of Justice shouldn’t just be able to wave its arms around

and grant itself vast new powers,” Wyden said.

As it stands, Rule 41 has many opposers including online groups such as PayPal, Google, Access Now and Tor Project along with many others. The groups collectively sent an open letter to lawmakers that included concerns they had over the changes, mainly privacy and legislature.

Similar to Wyden’s arguments, the group seems to also be interested in the privacy of U.S. citizens more than anything. “(Rule 41) would invite

law enforcement to seek warrants authorizing them to hack thousands of computers at once — which it’s hard to imagine would not be in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment,” Wyden said.

The bottom line is that this sort of law cannot be passed if we want to continue to have the right to privacy online and the freedom to share our thoughts and voices be heard, not exploited for evidence. The United Nations recognized in its statement that the internet has “great potential to

accelerate human progress, to bridge the digital divide.”

However, if this rule were to become law, then our progress will be halted by interruptions from the FBI under the guise of a warrant handed to it by a judge who is uninformed since the jargon the agency uses in their proposals purposely confuses them.

The internet is supposed to allow freedom of expression, but with Rule 41, this expression is only another piece of evidence for the FBI to sneak its way into our lives.

Hijabs illogically banned from league

FIBA wrongly discriminates against religious headwear BRYANT FREESE Daily Titan

The best athletes, no matter their religious beliefs, should have an equal chance to play professionally. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. The International Basketball Federation based out of Switzerland, that vets players for the Olympics (FIBA), has kept in place a bigoted rule that discriminates against people who wear religious headwear based on the ridiculous assumption that it can harm the players.

Rule 4.4.2 from FIBA says, “players shall not wear equipment (objects) which may cause injury to other players.” These objects include, “headgear, hair accessories and jewelry.”

For some reason, FIBA feels that a hijab falls into the category of equipment that may “injure” another player. The rule outlaws not only the hijab, but also turbans and yarmulkes. The only headgear that is allowed is a headband, which can be no larger than five centimeters in width.

The rule undoubtedly prevents many devout Muslim, Sikh and Jewish athletes from competing in international competitions and national leagues that are controlled by FIBA. It was expected that the organization would announce by the end of August whether or not it is going to permanently lift the ban on headgear but no decision has been made.

FIBA seems to be more

concerned about a player being able to keep sweat out of his or her eyes rather than allowing religious freedom.

The rule makes no logical sense. There is no good way to argue that a hijab, turban or yarmulke may, supposedly, cause injury to someone and not allowed to be worn. These thin veils could not possibly cause more potential injury to another player than the uniform itself.

It’s also concerning how FIBA doesn’t explicitly explain how these articles are harmful, which prompts the question, why are headbands okay? If a piece of cloth is prohibiting athletes from fulfilling their dreams, then why are safety glasses okay, when those protective goggles can be painful if a finger was smashed against it.

The only possible way to argue that a hijab could cause an injury to a player is if a player grabs their opponent by their hijab to foul. This, however, seems very unlikely to occur.

The fact that many of these athletes have been wearing their religious headwear for most of their lives and have made it to the professional level shows that wearing them is not a hinderance on the court.

The ban on headgear is a way for FIBA to create uniformity and discriminate against anyone and anything that is different.

People should not be forced to choose between their religion and their passion for sports.

FIBA claims that its “mission is to develop and promote the game of basketball, uniting the wider basketball community.” It cannot unite the

FIBA’s rules against religious headwear is completely disregarding the men and women who devote their lives to the sport. The negative implication this spreads to the world should be reversed as other sporting leagues are easing up on restrictions.

wider basketball community while discriminating against such a large portion of it.

While many people are fighting to stop this bigotry, there seems to be a stigma against people that wear religious headwear which exists not only within the FIBA rulebook.

On Aug. 18, Rose Hamid, a Muslim woman wearing a hijab, was kicked out of a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina.

Hamid was passing pens out that had “Salam I Come In Peace” written on them.

Before the rally began, she was escorted out by police for being a “nuisance.”

This is not the first time the activist has been kicked out of a Donald Trump rally.

What is the real reasoning behind kicking Hamid out of the rallies? It certainly is not because she was being a “nuisance.” There is a bigger issue that exists worldwide. The stigma against people that wear religious headwear, specifically a hijab, needs to change.

In 2014, FIBA decided to lift the ban for a two-year trial period, but the trial period only allows headgear such as the hijab to be worn at the national level, not the international level. A player

may only wear the headgear if they have submitted a request to FIBA. The temporary lift on the ban was not enough-it still prevents players from wearing religious headwear in international competitions, which most importantly includes the Olympics. Some women had aspirations of playing in the 2016 Rio Olympics but were unable to compete because of the rule.

Numerous people have called for FIBA to lift the ban on headwear indefinitely. Including Asma Elbadawi, a basketball player and coach in the United Kingdom, who wears a hijab and

is affected by the FIBA rule.

Elbadawi has started a petition on Change.org and has received over 120,000 names in only the past two months.

If FIBA would announce publicly that it has no problem with the wearing of religious garments, then perhaps the public would see how easy it is to be understanding of others.

The problem encompasses more than just FIBA, as seen in Hamid’s case. But, maybe if an organization such as FIBA can adjust to the world around it, then hopefully everyone else can too.
