CSUF to acquire new property
Board of Trustees approves $18 million for the purchase, move likened to College Park pursuit RAYMOND MENDOZA Daily Titan
Students may or may not be aware of the Western State University College of Law property on north State College Boulevard located across the street from Cal State Fullerton. The building faces the west side of the CSUF campus and is located next to Troy High School. Even more students might be unaware
that this building could become the property of CSUF as early as this October after the CSU Board of Trustees approved the funds to purchase the college at the Board of Trustees meeting Sept. 19. The approved purchase would cover the entire 86,000-square-foot property and has a reported purchase price of $18,250,000. Director of Media Relations and New Media for CSU Chancellor’s Office, Mike Uhlenkamp, said that the majority of the money being used to purchase the Western State University property is coming from a mixture of the CSU systemwide revenue bond program
and CSUF’s extended education program. Uhlenkamp explained that the purpose of the CSU systemwide revenue bond program is meant to “refinance the acquisition, construction, renovation and improvement of certain facilities of the Cal State University.” “The purchase of the property is $18,250,000,” said Uhlenkamp. “Of that amount, $5,000,000 will be contributed by Fullerton’s University extended education. The remaining $13,250,000 will be financed through the bond program.” Even though CSUF will own the property, both students and faculty will not be able

Baby with the Bathwater shows the dysfunctional side of life for a young boy ADAM RENNIE For the Daily Titan
Cal State Fullerton theatregoers will get the chance to see one of the most controversial plays of the last 30 years, Baby with the Bathwater. Cast and crew members of the Department of Theatre and Dance are tackling the Christopher Durang creation from Friday to Oct. 21. The screenplay was directed by Kari Hayter. Baby with the Bathwater depicts subjects who partake in cross-dressing, bad parenting, adultery, psychological damaging and self-evaluating acts. While written in a cleverly humorous way that will leave the audience laughing at times, some of the actors themselves said they felt inappropriate. As Baby with the Bathwater nears its premier date, Cheryl Gottselig (who plays the role of Cynthia) said playwright Christopher Durang is brilliant in that he is so twisted about the play. She added that he makes a big statement with messages that come through underneath the play. “This show in general is really fun
to use the facilities for another three years. For the next three years, the college will occupy the building, but it will pay rent for the space until CSUF makes the site part of the campus. The rent will offset some of the purchase price over time. Christopher Bugbee, director of media relations for CSUF, said the process is similar to the purchase and use of the College Park building. This would mean that classes would continue as usual for Western State University students and faculty.
Police arrested a Cal State Fullerton student at his residence Friday after he was found in possession of a stolen iPhone. The iPhone was allegedly stolen from a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon at the fraternity house the night before. According to University Police Lt. Scot Willey, the victim of the theft used a GPS tracking device app to locate his missing phone. “We were able to locate where their phone was. We were able to go to that location and confirm that’s where the phone was and talk to the suspect,” said Willey. “The suspect was very honest about it and admitted to taking (the iPhone).” The suspect, Cristobal MartinezChavez, was booked at the Orange County jail for grand theft, and possessing and receiving stolen property, Willey said. Penal Code 487 states that grand theft is theft committed when the money, labor and real or personal property taken is of a value exceeding $950, except as provided in subdivision (b).” Penal code 496 states that any person who knowingly buys or receives stolen property is subject to imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year and also subject to being convicted of a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor under grand theft can entail up to one year in county jail and also a maximum fine of $1,000. A felony under a grand theft charge can result in a sentencing of two to three years in a California State Prison and a maximum fine of $10,000.

and when I read it I was hoping I’d be in it,” said Gottselig. “It’s so out there and it’s hilarious but it’s a dark comedy when sometimes you don’t know if you can laugh.” The play is about a boy named Daisy who was left by his dysfunctional parents. His confusion leads to abrupt and shocking behavior at a young age which is deterred by the older generation in the performance. As the story continues, Daisy attends therapy and the repercussions of these events are more ap-

parent than he realized. The dark comedy will make the audience think and laugh about lifes sometimes unfair situations. Danielle Amick (who plays the role of Helen) said the message the screenplay brings to audiences is that people can change their life and take control of their life, but to should always keep loved ones close by. Amick also made light of the importance of the humor in the play. SEE THEATRE, 5
Tyler Hainey has quite a busy life. Between hockey, challenging classes, honor societies, and Greek life, it is a wonder that the 22-year-old has enough time to sleep. The senior civil engineering major works on constantly juggling his schedule and making everything fit into his busy life. Hainey is a rarity among student athletes: He puts his heart and soul into sports and is actively involved in numerous honor societies, such as Tau Beta Pi, Chi Epsilon, American Society of Civil Engineers, Phi Beta Delta, the National Society of Collegiate Engineers, and the fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha, which he is one of the founding fathers. He does all of this while maintaining a 3.82 GPA. He was also named an “Academic All-American” hockey player by the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division II. Hainey, the hockey club president, has developed into a strong and motivating leader through these organizations. He never goes into something half-heartedly and is always there to help. “I feel I’m a leader. I might not be the biggest vocal guy to get up and talk in front of everybody, but the way I act people can see how much effort I put into things, and how I really care about things,” said Hainey. Anthony Webb, 24, an accounting major, close friend and hockey teammate, has witnessed first hand Hainey’s ability in helping others. “You always know Hainey is going to be there,” said Webb. “You always know if you have a problem or need help with something, you can always ask Tyler.” Hainey’s longtime friend Brent Thomas agrees. “Hainey is a good leader. When something happens, he will definitely voice his opinion,” said the 22-yearold chemistry major. Hainey tries to be more than just a leader. “I feel like I’m a role model to people at least academic wise. A lot of hockey guys struggle in education in their

classes. They can look up to me and see that I can do it and still play hockey,” Hainey said. With his responsibilities and involvements, Hainey must find a way to balance everything out. Thinh Luc, 24, a civil engineering major, watches in amazement as his friend juggles his packed schedule. “I really don’t know how he does it all. He just finds that balance in everything he does,” said Luc. Even Hainey doesn’t know how he does it all. “It’s tough. I’m always frustrated. I never really have much time to do what I want to do,” Hainey said. “I’m always stressed out. I’m just so busy.” SEE HAINEY, 8
