Face coverings will no longer be required indoors at Cal State Fullerton after April 1, according to a university announcement released on March 17.

“The University is able to make these updates because we as a community were vaccinated, received the booster, adopted multiple COVID-19 mitigation measures

and adhered to guidance concerning when to stay off-campus,” said David Forgues, the vice president of Human Resources, Diversity and Inclusion, for the university. “Collectively we maintained the health and safety of our community. Working together, we will continue to do so.”

The announcement stated that individuals can still make the choice to continue wearing face coverings and that they will continue to be available for free on campus.

Bryan Ngyuen, a graphic design student, said that he will likely continue to wear a mask for the comfort of those around him.

“I think the whole point of masks is to protect people around us, not protect us, and that’s the whole point,” Ngyuen said. “I’m gonna wear mine to make people more comfortable around me be-

cause COVID (is) still going on.”

As COVID-19 restrictions ease, the Fullerton City Council has decided to continue its outdoor dining program but seeks to charge restaurants that currently use public space for their establishments.

On Tuesday, the city council overheard a motion to either cease the outdoor dining program that was established during the pandemic or direct the city manager to continue the program but ensure that restaurants follow the outdoor dining policies that were in place before the shutdown.

These policies include filing an outdoor dining permit that must be approved by the council, and once approved, must pay for each square footage of public space being used outside the establishment.

There are currently 23 establishments using the pandemic-era outdoor dining program.

The council decided to extend this program through Sept. 30, 2022

to give businesses an opportunity to continue their outdoor dining experience.

As for the Walk on Wilshire, a closed off section on Wilshire Avenue and Harbor Boulevard, the council voted to keep it open as long as three restaurants participate in the outdoor dining program.

Mayor Fred Jung was the only council member to vote “no” on the Walk on Wilshire motion, making the final vote 4-1. Citing it as a public safety issue, Mayor Fred Jung said allowing restaurants to use public space has created an uptick in police activity because the number of patrons at each establishment can now accommodate inside and outside has increased.

“I will not compromise with Wilshire. I think it needs to be opened. It’s a street and it should be treated as such,”Jung said.

When asked if there was an uptick in crime levels on Walk on Wilshire, Fullerton Police Chief Robert Dunn said there was not.

“In short no, the actual Walk on Wilshire portion is pretty desolate at closing time,” Dunn said.

A demonstration against hate crimes was held by the OC Justice Initiative, along with several Cal State Fullerton activist organizations VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

at the historic Old Towne Orange Circle in downtown Orange, on March 18.

The initiative rallied OC supporters to assist the day’s events under a unifying message of stopping hate in Orange County.

In a display of solidarity with the initiative, Black, Indigenous and people of color student organizations, activists and speakers attended the demonstration to raise awareness

of racial injustice in Orange County. Among the various groups at the demonstration were members of CSUF’s Black Student Union, College Democrats of CSUF, as well as Students for Quality Education.

The initiative is a social justice organization founded in 2020, with the main goals of advocating against racial injustices within Orange County, challenging economic and legislative injustices and protecting basic

human rights.

“We want to be treated like human beings,” said Fiona Meehan, a South Orange County resident and activist. “It’s not too much to ask. I’m just done being invalidated. I’m done with the microaggressions. I don’t want to hear white people saying the N-word anymore. I don’t want to be bullied.”

The protest began at Chapman University’s Williams Mall park,

where demonstrators waved signs, cheered and listened to speeches by initiative members.

“This is about the rise of hate crimes in Orange County and on Chapman campus. We’ve had an increase of 76% since 2020,” said Seth Moos, an event coordinator for the initiative. “So we want to show unity against hate crimes.”

COVID-19: Tests will be available for the entire academic year CONTINUED FROM

Testing will continue to be offered for the remainder of the academic year for those experiencing symptoms or who think that they may have been exposed to COVID-19.

Certain employees on campus may continue to be required to wear face coverings as mandated by the California Department of Public Health or CAL/OSHA.

The indoor mask mandate has been in place since August 2021 and was part of Presidential Directive 22, a series of COVID-19 mitigation measures put in place by the university.

On March 18, Orange County had a 7-day-average of about 230 cases per day. Cal State Fullerton reported 14 on-campus cases of COVID-19 on March 8.

The university has had 496 confirmed cases on campus since re-entry in August 2021.

Protest: Participants marched through Old Towne Orange CONTINUED FROM

Meehan arrived with a sign that called for justice on behalf of Kurt Reinhold, a Black man who was fatally shot by sheriff’s deputies in San Clemente in 2020.

Around 1 p.m., the crowd of demonstrators took to the road adjacent to Williams Mall park and marched down Glassell Street as bystanders watched from the sidelines until they reached Plaza Park.

In front of a crowd of onlookers that began to gather near Plaza Park, representatives from each organization took turns rallying fellow demonstrators with chants calling for social justice and giving speeches recalling situations where they had experienced the effects of racism in their lives.

Activists also detailed specific racebased incidents to the crowd, such as the recent high school basketball game controversy that occurred in late January at Laguna

Hills High School where a student from Laguna Hills yelled racial slurs at a Black player on the Portola High School basketball team.

The petition to “Defeat Racism in OC School Sports” promoted by the initiative’s president Justice Crudup and the initiative calls for the creation of committees to “create guidelines on what constitutes hate and microaggression affecting them and propose rule updates” as well as “require all coaches and referees to go through a mandatory Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training,” among other goals.

“What we can do about it is to educate, demonstrate and eventually legislate,” Crudup said. “We have a petition right now on our Instagram that is basically calling for a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team to be involved in OC sports since there has been a lot of bias and hate in OC Sports in the last two months.”

Fullerton: Mayor votes against Walk on Wilshire motion 1 Dunn mentioned that outdoor dining in general did create a problem for law enforcement but did not explain why.

During the public comment section of the meeting there seemed to be a divide between those in favor of the Walk on Wilshire outdoor dining experience and those who want to see it return to the Bike Boulevard.

CONTINUED FROM

Diane Bennett, who addressed the council via Zoom, made her comment short but clear.

“Hopefully, with the pandemic, we are really on our way to more normal activities. You never know what is going to happen and so to stop this now and wish we still had it would be a real shame to all the business and for the public,” Bennet said.

Jane Reifer addressed the council via phone call about her disappointment in how the Walk on Wilshire portion of Downtown Fullerton has ended the city’s Bike Boulevard.

“It’s not safe to travel on Chapman, it’s not safe to travel on Commonwealth. So, this Bike Boulevard was created with taxpayer dollars that were granted to the city of Fullerton to allow safe bike passage

through,” Reifer said. “It doesn’t seem fair to remove safe bike passage through here because the alternatives are very dangerous.”

What was once a passageway for bicycles, Walk on Wilshire now requires cyclists to walk their bikes through the dining area.

“Healthy people being so angry on a situation like this, I get upset, I really really do,” said Maureen Milton,

a 53-year-resident of Fullerton.

Milton found it upsetting that bikers wanted to end Walk on Wilshire because of the possibility of having to walk their bikes or be forced to look for an alternative route.

The city manager’s office said a new layout of Walk on Wilshire may be able to accommodate both restaurateurs and cyclists, but they have not come up with a final design.

Daniel Dae Kim addresses Asian American invisibility Korean American actor and advocate for cultural awareness speaks about social justice to students.

JESSICA CHOI Editor

Actor and activist Daniel Dae Kim ended Cal State Fullerton’s Social Justice Week on March 17 with an informative and intimate conversation about his experiences as an Asian American and how his identity impacted his career within the entertainment industry.

This year’s social justice week, hosted by Associated Students. contributed to the theme of, “amplifying voices, raising awareness on marginalized communities and issues.”

“The goal of the programming was to share stories and raise our critical consciousness and empower individuals to critically analyze just how they’re showing up in the fight for justice, and most importantly the actions they can take to achieve it,” said Bobbie Porter, assistant vice president of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

In March 2021, Kim spoke to Congress regarding anti-Asian violence and urging lawmakers to pass bills protecting Asian Americans. He revisited this congressional hearing during his conversation with CSUF and emphasized the importance of speaking to, and convincing, those who do not share the ideologies of social justice and equity.

He stressed that the importance of allyship and advocating to people who are not within minority groups is the key to breaking the perpetual

cycle of stereotypes.

“The same politicians I really did not want to be speaking to are the very people that I thought of when I wrote my speech because I said this is truth to power,” Kim said.

Kim also mentioned a point he highlighted in the congressional hearing: Asian Americans are statistically insignificant within data and are subjected to invisibility.

“Being statistically insignificant, it’s the same as being considered invisible for the Asian American experience, so many times we’ve been expected to assimilate and keep our heads down and not raise a fuss,” Kim said. “Because when we do, then we are no longer the model minority, which is a myth in itself to begin with, so you see how stereotypes are built upon myths of stereotypes.”

Media and his experiences as an Asian American actor were intertwined with the main theme of the conversation about social justice.

Kim’s acting roles in the hit TV

dramas “Lost” and “Hawaii Five-O” broke Asian American stereotypes that were traditionally used within media; and his series “The Good Doctor,” an adaptation from an original South Korean production, continues to push set boundaries and advocate for media diversity.

“The ways we were portrayed in media were defining the way we were perceived for generations by people who didn’t look like us,” Kim said.

Chelsea Arangcon, a third-year English major, agreed with Kim’s sentiments about Asian American representation within the media.

“I really do applaud him for paving a way for Asian Americans in the entertainment industry because I feel like Asians specifically are very overlooked in media and if they are in media they are very stereotyped,” Arangcon said.

Kim expressed his pride and concern about the increased attention to Asians and Asian culture with the mentioning of the coronavirus, the

hit Korean film “Parasite” and Asian hate crimes.

He said he believes that there is an overall progress in Asian representation within the media and entertainment industry, however, there are always ups and downs.

“Like history, things seem to move in a pendulum-like way; you have eras of progress and then you have eras of not so much progress. For every age of enlightenment, we’ve had a dark age,” Kim said.

He expressed his pride in the recent explosion of Korean media and culture being recognized in America, but stressed that Asian

cultural awareness is not the same thing as Asian American cultural awareness.

Kim wrapped up the conversation by mentioning a lesson he stresses to his sons — one that was applicable to the crowd of college students.

“No matter what you choose to do, think about how your work is contributing to your community and society, and even if it’s finance, even if it’s business, don’t ever lose your soul or your heart because those two things are going to be guiding you for the rest of your life, regardless of how little or how much money you have,” Dae Kim said.

OPINION

Empower women to profess their love on one knee Marriage traditions and social stigmas limit women’s ability to propose to the man of their dreams.

CHRISTIANI AQUINO Staff Writer

In traditional heterosexual relationships, men are expected to get down on one knee with a sparkling engagement ring. They are the societal standard in asking their partner to get married. However, women are objectified, and play the role of a submissive partner that waits for the proposal. These gender stereotypes categorize men and women into strict roles.

Yet, women’s ability to propose to their partner should not face condemnation. It is an empowering stance against rigid traditional perceptions of marriage.

Part of the trouble comes from the fact that most men are typically afraid of women being the assertive type in their relationships. They are afraid of being controlled and dominated and seen as vulnerable or weak men who can not take care of themselves.

The fear of being emasculated is also a factor as to why women who do propose may become pariahs.

In reality, it comes from the lack of open-mindedness due to past trauma which inhibits the ability to be vulnerable.

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

(CHRISTINA LAVAPIE / DAILY TITAN)

It seems that, because of men’s inability to cope with that idea, women are ostracized, bullied or face condescending remarks when proposing. This discourages women from proposing altogether.

“Only about 5% of those currently married say the woman proposed, and the figure is no higher among couples wed within the past

10 years,” according to a 2014 Associated Press-WE TV poll.

Another problem with modern society comes from gender roles, which refers to how we act, the way we look and the overall way people conduct themselves. These become modern-day stereotypes.

Men are seen as aggressive while women have to play the

accommodating, nurturing type, which is prevalent in the way women and men act when proposing.

For marriage, most traditions are derived from the diamond industry, the generator of the heartfelt imagery of a man proposing with a shiny ring, thus reinforcing gender stereotypes.

“Anthropologists believe this

tradition originated from a Roman custom in which wives wore rings attached to small keys, indicating their husbands’ ownership,” according to the American Gem Society.

From the lens of the past, society perceived women as objects for their husbands. These past traditions still hold weight in modern society. One of the De Beers Group’s infamous ‘90s commercials featured a man saving up two months’ worth of salary to purchase an engagement ring. The commercial wrapped up with the catchphrase, “Diamonds are forever.”

Traditional marriage ideals have to be reformed, thus becoming a common ground of acceptance for women that desire to initiate the leap into proposal. A happily ever after would still be assured, leading to a lifelong happy marriage.

Women should initiate the first bold move if they feel that they are a compatible match. It is also a plus for men because when given the opportunity, more men yearn for women to take the lead.

Marriage is a beautiful ceremony that has to be honored as a harmonious vow of love. It is time to shift the narrative of the media portrayal of men proposing — women should be encouraged to propose first, breaking the societal standard. Shattering the long-standing norm that originated in the era of ownership to one of equality needs to be respected.

Seniors bow out in NCAA loss to Duke Men’s basketball commends determination before ending the season 21-11 overall and 11-4 in the Big West Conference.

HUGO RIOS Asst. Editor

In their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2018, Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball exits the first round of March Madness on Friday after they lost to Duke, 78-61.

The loss marks the Titans’ third straight first-round elimination following double-digit losses in 2008 and 2018 to University of Wisconsin-Madison and Purdue University, respectively.

The Titans started the game cold, as they allowed the Blue Devils to open the game on a 22-9 run.

Duke’s interior defense showed their size early, anchored by center Mark Williams. The 7-foot-1 center Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive player of the year had four of his team-high five blocks in the first half, finishing just one shy of 100 blocks in his college career as a sophomore.

Williams finished with 15 points and seven rebounds to pair with his stellar defensive performance.

Forward Paolo Banchero had an electric NCAA tournament debut for the Blue Devils, as he scored 12 points in the opening half while grabbing seven boards. The ACC Freshman of the Year and projected NBA lottery pick finished the night with 17 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.

Despite early shooting struggles, gritty

defense and hustle on the offensive kept the Titans alive. Tough perimeter defense led by guard Damari Milstead translated to five Titan steals at the half, cutting down Duke’s lead and only being down by 10, 37-27, heading into halftime.

The second half started similarly to the first, with Duke aggressively coming out on a 15-6 run, continuing to widdle away any sight of a comeback from the Titans.

CSUF could not establish a rhythm offensively against Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s defensive sets, forcing the Titans to take rushed or contested shots all night long. Big West tournament MVP E.J. Anosike had a particularly quiet night in Greenville, South Carolina, finishing with a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds on 4-9 shooting, eight of those points came in the second half attempting to stop the bleeding in a hard-fought but ultimately losing effort.

Milstead added another memorable performance to end off his senior season with 12 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals while shooting 56% from the f loor.

All five starters for the Blue Devils finished in double-digit scoring, the team shot 51.7% on the night and 40.9% from beyond the arc.

Hustle and heart paid off for the Titans defensively, picking Duke’s pockets eight times while finishing +5 in turnover margin. However, shooting just 37.5% and having just one block compared to 10 on the side of the No. 2 seed in the West region was not enough to advance to the second round.

In a post-game interview, CSUF head coach Dedrique Taylor expressed his feelings towards the team’s shot selection on

a poor shooting performance.

“The shots that we’re getting are good shots, they just weren’t falling,’” Taylor said.

He added that Duke’s size and athleticism made shots more difficult than the team was used to, complimenting the physicality of his opponents.

Krzyzewski said in a post-game interview the importance of playing CSUF, emphasizing the defensive effort put forth against his team.

“We beat a good team. Dedrique’s team is an old veteran team, champions, and known for their defense. They really played hard defensively against us,” Krzyzewski said.

Ultimately, Taylor congratulated Krzyzewski and his team, expecting a deep run from them as the tournament plays out while commending the effort from his guys against the iconic blue blood school.

“I just can’t say how proud I am of this group. Obviously coming into this game, competing against Duke was a complete honor and privilege, but compete is exactly what our guys did,” Taylor said. “They came out and played extremely hard and didn’t quit. They have absolutely nothing to hang their heads about.”

In their second trip to the NCAA Tournament under Taylor, the Titans once again failed to make it past the first round.

The Big West Champions overachieved expectations heading into the season.

Titans snag narrow win over Colorado State

CSUF tennis remains undefeated in March, winning six of seven games during the team’s homestand.

GENESIS PAVIA Asst. Editor

Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis secured their sixth-straight victory with a 4-3 final score against Colorado State University on March 19 at Titan Courts.

The Titans kept a balance of drops and wins during the head-to-head singles. Juliette Daries, Kaytlin Taylor and Natalie Duffy each scored a three-set victory during their singles matches. Daries won her match 6-2, 6-0 against Colorado’s Matea Mihaljevic. Taylor also took a victory 6-2, 6-3 against Tracy Guo. Although it was a close match in the singles for Duffy, she sealed the deal against the Rams with a 6-3, 5-6, 6-3 win. It was an unlucky day for Eira Tobrand who lost during the singles 3-6, 4-6 to the Rams’ Somer Dalla-Bona. At the top spot for the Rams was Radka Buzkova who won all straight sets 6-1, 6-2 against the Titans’ YuSeung Suh. Camila Garcia lost her first set against Colorado’s Sarah Weekley, 5-7, came out victorious 6-2 in her next set but lost her final set at 3-6. With Garcia’s loss, the score was tied at 3.

In doubles, the Titans secured two wins, starting with Garcia and Tobrand’s 7-6 victory for the Titans against Buzkova and Mihaljevic. Duffy and Suh won in their doubles 6-4 against Dalla-Bona and Richterova.

Lucia Natal and Guo picked up a win, 6-3, for the Rams against Taylor and Daries. The Titans will host Utah State University on March 26 at 11 a.m.
