A big crowd formed at Becker Amphitheater on Wednesday as William Ryan Key, former lead singer for Yellowcard, played a soothing acoustic set for CSUF students. Associated Students, Inc. invited Key to perform because they thought he would be perfect

for Valentines Day. Event coordinators, Brennan Lyell and Lauren Olguin became excited when Key said he would come. Key appreciated California’s “short sleeve” weather and reminisced on playing the same stage with Yellowcard. His acoustic music was the perfect fit for the day, with powerful and thoughtful songs about relationships, heartbreak and changes. Playing past and present music, Key brought the amphitheater to life. “It’s Valentine’s Day, and we thought it would be something unique to bring to campus,”

Lyel said. Key sang his own acoustic renditions of songs from his former band Yellowcard. The song “With You Around” from their 2011 album set the perfect Valentine’s Day atmosphere, with the chorus echoing, “I want to chase forever down with you around.” Students like Neil Allen came to watch Key perform his new music. Allen said he has covered Yellowcard songs before in his own band and wants to see him perform again. SEE SOLO

Former lead singer of Yellowcard filled the Becker Amphitheater with acoustic renditions from albums throughout the band’s career. Key performed songs like “Ocean Avenue” and pieces from his recent work.

While the topic of college hookups isn’t new, Lisa Wade, associate professor of sociology at Occidental College, argues that students are gaining very little from them. Rising reports of emotional distress are consistent with college students engaging in these hookup encounters, Wade said. She found that less than a quarter of these students derive emotional satisfaction from them. Wade was invited by the WoMen’s Center community coordinator, Marlene Romero, to talk about her book “American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus,” which used data from 101 students who journaled about their experiences with college hookups. “It’s not the hookup that’s causing the problems for college students, it’s the hookup culture,” Wade said. What exactly is “hookup culture”? Wade defines it as having sex purely for the physical desire of sexual intercourse with no expected romantic future,

sometimes not even a second sexual encounter. Cindy Nguyen, a fifth-year marketing major, believes hooking up has evolved in a good way. “I’m for saying ‘Yeah, go and hook up.’ I think it’s good for people’s self esteem,” Nguyen said. Casual hookups have become mainstream on college campuses and can sometimes be considered an exciting new experiment for students. But Wade said there’s also something that is making them unhappy because of it. “There seems to be this persistent disappointment and frustration,” Wade said. “Just the sense that the ‘four-year orgy’ wasn’t all it was cracked out to be.” Before the mid-1990s, hooking up was simply an option on college campuses. Now there is a looming obligation for students to participate in this hookup culture if they want to do college “the right way,” Wade said. When college students observe that this is the new norm, Wade said they’re pressured to want the same thing or risk being seen as boring or old-fashioned. The most important emotion to avoid is love, noting a widespread wariness among students about the dangers of “catching feelings,” Wade said SEE CULTURE

Riding the hot streak of guard Khalil Ahmad, Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball looks to stretch its winning streak when it faces Cal State Northridge on Feb. 17. Ahmad is fresh off of earning his second Big West Conference Player of the Week award, and in Fullerton’s previous two games, the junior averaged 26.5 points with a 70.4/50/90.9 percent shooting split. His focus remains on helping the team win, regardless of whether or not he’s the one doing the scoring or not. “When I have the ball, I’m

“I feel like it doesn’t matter how or what happened to me ... I don’t want that to happen to someone else,” said Cal State Fullerton student Ana Vargas, opening up about her experience with sexual assault and violence. Vargas, a fourth-year human services major, was part of the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center booth on Titan Walk Wednesday, which supports and educates students on topics such as sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking. “I did have some post-traumatic stress. It was like your self-esteem lowers down and you go through a lot of issues, more than how the other person faces consequences,” Vargas said. This was just one of the booths that was set up for Violence Awareness and Prevention Day. University Police, Emergency Management and Counseling and Psychological Services were also present to showcase the services

going to score or make a play happen so that we can get the win. At the end of the day, the most important thing is winning,” Ahmad said. The Titans will try to continue to limit their opponents’ offensive rebounding to keep second chance points to a minimum. In its last two games, CSUF has restricted the opposition to two second-chance points per game. Sophomore forward Jackson Rowe has emphasized crashing the boards to prevent giving up easy points. Rowe has averaged 9.7 rebounds over the last three games, responding to Titans Head Coach Dedrique Taylor’s frustration with the team’s poor rebounding. “There are so many other aspects to basketball that are important, and right now we need defensive and offensive rebounds, so I’ll do that if it helps the team,” Rowe said. His offensive production has been inconsistent as of late. But like Ahmad, Rowe’s worried about bringing CSUF’s total wins up, not his points per game. “I’ve never really prided myself on scoring,” Rowe said. “I’m not trying to force anything. I’m just trying to win. That’s the most important thing.”

Alternative Facts panel covers Californian history Cal State Fullerton professors emphasized the need for primary evidence. CAITLIN BARTUSICK Asst. Copy Editor

Assistant Professor of American studies Sara Fingal, Ph.D., said it’s important to remember the stories of people who profoundly affect the community.

students had learned a lot of patriotic stories. Their story was very white. It was very elite dominated,” she said. “They didn’t know the same story of U.S. history that I knew growing up in Massachusetts.” Fingal researches coastal access all the way from Northern California to Baja California, Mexico. At the panel, she talked about environmental educator John Olguin, who served as director of the Cabrillo Marine Museum from 1949 to 1987. In the 1940’s, various locations around Southern California and throughout the country had beaches that were highly segregated. Cabrillo Beach was an exception, and Olguin was someone who fought for continued public access. “He was enormously influential in encouraging children, teenagers and adults to claim ownership of this beach as part of their community and a public space for hands-on outdoor education and leisure,” Fingal said. She said it’s important that environmental educators remember the stories of people like Olguin who leave behind ripple effects in their community. “It can make it so that stories

that weren’t there are told, but also it can make it so that our concept of something like the historical record is a lot more diverse and intricate. And that in everyday people, we can see ourselves in them,” Fingal said. Speaking last at the panel was Perez, a native to Guam. He spoke about his research on the island’s indigenous people and their displacement due to military colonization. Perez said there is value in telling the stories of people who don’t neatly fit into racial and ethnic classification systems. “I’m able to talk about the people I’ve connected to — to you, all because of my travels,” Perez said. The next Alternative Facts panel will be held in the Pollak Library again on Tuesday, March 13 from 11:30 a.m to 12:50 p.m. “We’re still figuring out what happened in the past, that’s what makes it fun to study,” Lewinnek said. “A textbook isn’t something to absolutely memorize, it’s something to always question. And that’s why, at the best in the humanities, we teach people how to evaluate alternative facts and come up with our own conclusions.”

Cal State Fullerton history major Robbie Renteria considers alternative ideas a way to resolve present-day issues. He said Tuesday’s Alternative Facts panel at the Pollak Library reaffirmed this sentiment by focusing alternative ideas around local history in California. “(An alternative fact) is something that’s read against the grain, something not very consistent, more obscure, not necessarily considered the norm,” Renteria said. Historical, environmental and indigenous education were among the topics researched and presented by Elaine Lewinnek, Ph.D., professor of American studies, Sara Fingal, Ph.D., assistant professor of American studies and Michael Perez, Ph.D., professor of sociology. Lewinnek began the panel by talking about how some former students in her California Culture class helped inspire her research. When she asked them to design a curriculum for younger students, she remembers them telling her “We couldn’t do what you teach. It’s kind of like sex ed. It’s really controversial.” Her research focuses on the rise of conservatism in California. At the panel, she highlighted a 1960s eighth grade history textbook called “Land of the Free.” She said the contents of the textbook and its focus on multi-ethnic groups created huge controversy at the time, leading some parents to call it propaganda and refusing to send their kids to school. Lewinnek said it’s important for students and educators to use primary evidence to reinterpret dominant narratives in America. “Growing up in California, my

Keep OC Safe is a localized version of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s public awareness campaign “If You See Something, Say Something,” which prompts people to report suspicious activity to authorities. “There have been instances where people use this app or they just know that if they see something out of the ordinary like an unintended backpack or something, that it could be something pretty dangerous,” Ball said. Fisher wants to educate students on available resources to keep themselves safe and encourage them to speak out when they see something that doesn’t look right.

Lisa Wade, Ph.D., professor of sociology at Occidental College said a “hierarchy of physical attractiveness” creates hostile environments that can affect the confidence of both men and women.

Culture: Casual can lead to dissatisfaction CONTINUED FROM

Nguyen participates in the hookup culture but tries to limit her encounters to those she’s already acquainted with. She used to let her emotions get the better of her during hookups. “After a while you really learn from it. It’s just a hookup. You shouldn’t let it take a toll on you for so long,” Nguyen said. Emotions have been so removed from these interactions that signs of tenderness are more significant than actual intercourse, Wade said. “Some guys agreed holding hands was more emotional than getting a hand job,” Wade said, quoting a 2014 New York Times article. In addition to stripping emotion from sexual encounters, college students feel the need to dissociate from the other person outside of sexual intercourse. “Students are playing this game so hard that they break their own hearts,” Wade said.

The driving force behind those who participate and excel in this hookup game, Wade said, is based on impressing your friends with the attractiveness of your hookup, a “hierarchy of physical attractiveness.” This hierarchy can create a hostile environment that can affect the confidence levels of both men and women, due to insecurities about their bodies and the peer pressure to gain approval from friends, Wade said. “Two-thirds of students would rather be in relationships than be hooking up. Two-thirds of students wish there were more opportunities to go on dates instead of just hooking up, more men than women. The desire to change is there,” Wade said. Students most likely want a dating environment that is healthy, considerate and nurturing, but to do that, college students need to chip away at the cultural dominance of random sexual intercourse, Wade said. “Even the playing field so every student has the same power to shake the sexual culture,” Wade said.

During William Ryan Key’s career, he was the lead singer for Yellowcard and released eight albums with them. From 2016 to 2017, the band embarked on their final tour, playing shows across the United States and concluding their run at the House of Blues in Anaheim.

Solo: Musician treats Titans with acoustic set CONTINUED FROM

“I would love to see him on the New Found Glory Tour,” Allen said. During the concert, Key announced that he will be going on tour and opening for New Found Glory, a pop-punk band. He said he hopes that some of the fans at CSUF will make it to one of the Southern California shows. “I’m going to open the show, doing something — I don’t know what yet — but I’m going to play guitar with New Found Glory, too which should be fun,” Key said. Since Yellowcard broke up in 2017, Key has been producing more tranquil, solo

music. Although fans recognized a change of pace in his music, Key played his acoustic playlist with ease for the audience. Allen appreciated Key’s change of pace and despite the different tune, he thought it was still Yellowcard at heart. “I love it, I think he’s really expressing himself acoustically instead of electrically, which he did earlier in his career,” Allen said. After the band broke up, Key did a solo comeback tour to give back to the fans who supported his solo artist transition. Key said he has had a lot more traveling on his plate than he expected. “I did a lot of research, just trying to make

sure I did enough to give back to everybody for supporting me. And if you did support it, by the way, your vinyl is coming. I’m working on it,” Key said. Before singing one of his new songs, “Oh the Places We’ll Go,” Key told the audience that it was written for a fan during his comeback tour. He gave fans an opportunity to submit song ideas that he chose to write about. The man that was chosen submitted a story about him and his now wife. “They were together in high school and he joined the navy and they drifted apart. He had a bit of a drinking problem, and she met another guy and got engaged,” Key said. “They hadn’t seen each other for almost a

decade and when they saw each other again, they just knew and she called off her engagement and they’ve been married ever since.” Key’s energy on stage while performing the song “Southern Air” exemplified how much the song meant to him. The song is about how long the band had been away from home and all the hard times spent together. ASI coordinators said “Southern Air” will continue to bring a wide variety of bands and genres to the Wednesday and Thursday concerts this year. Olguin said they are trying to make sure they are reaching all different audiences on campus for the upcoming performances.

every note played. Solo dancer, Biliana Iontchev collaborated with Bill Cunliffe on a song accompanying the band on piano. Iontchev blended modern dance and ballet as she leaped, twirled and rolled across the stage. Quarteto Nuevo played three more songs before introducing their seventh piece: an Eastern European folk-inspired song. Iontchev emerged midway through the melody and while her moves were fluid the timing of her entrance was not. Following a short intermission, Felipe Fraga, the band’s percussionist, took a moment to explain

the numerous instruments he had been playing throughout the first half of the show. This included the Peruvian drum, a wooden box with metal strings behind the front-facing panel, and what appeared to be a tambourine but was actually a Brazilian drum (fitting for Fraga who is from Brazil). The band’s last song was accompanied by six CSUF dance students for Milcho Leviev’s “Women’s Dance,” which was choreographed by Debra Noble, director of dance and vice chair of the Theatre and Dance Department. “It’s rare that we have a chance

It’s very exciting to kind of work between the departments because even though we share a building we tend to remain fairly separate.

“

The lights in the Meng Concert Hall at Cal State Fullerton dimmed and murmurs from the audience faded away as a fourman ensemble, Quarteto Nuevo, took the stage. Without a word, they picked up their instruments and guitarist, Kenton Youngstrom began to strum a distinct Spanish-sounding tune, transporting the audience into the cobblestone streets of Spain. The music swirled like a flamingo dancer’s dress, with each of the instruments’ notes flowing seamlessly into one another. Damon Zick, saxophone player for the band and adjunct professor at CSUF, introduced the song he composed called, “Hector, Desmond and Titus” which sounded like it came off of Disney’s “Aladdin” soundtrack. The tinkling sounds flowing from Zicks’ saxophone sounded reminiscent of snake-charming music. As the song began to build, the tempo accelerated and slowed, and accelerated again, pulling the audience along for the ride. “We’re all composers and we all like to bring our own compositions into the group, and then besides that, we’re very interested in visiting different parts of the world,” Zick said. Jacob Szekely, the band’s cello player introduced “Rain Song,” which he composed after being inspired by the sound of a stormy night in Los Angeles. Szekely gently pulled the opening mournful tones from his instrument, filling the hall with an underlying jazz tune, painting a scene with

DAMON ZICK Saxophone, Quarteto Nuevo to collaborate across departments, so we actually got some support from the dean’s office. It’s very exciting to kind of work between the departments, because even though we share a building, we tend to remain fairly separate most of the time,” Zick said. The dancers wore purple

ombre costumes, which is a color often associated with unity and the women’s suffrage movement. They lifted one another up and even when moving apart, seemed to be moving together. With hugs and thanks exchanged, the dancers and Quarteto Nuevo took their final bow of the night.

Stereotyping prevents productive talks Undocumented immigrants aren’t all criminals.

DIANE ORTIZ Staff Writer

Jeffrey Monroe was just doing his job driving Indianapolis Colts linebacker, Edwin Jackson, home safely, but both men died that morning at the hands of a drunk driver. In any other circumstance this event would be followed by mourning families, empathetic media and saddened fans, except this drunk driver was an undocumented immigrant. Stereotyping all immigrants in a negative light is just as irresponsible as generalizing all citizens of the United States in a positive one. Rather than mourning the death of the striving player and working man, the Twitter feed focused on the person who killed them — an undocumented immigrant. Sharing distasteful and ignorant thoughts for the entire internet to see. To share his distasteful and ignorant thoughts for the entire internet to see, President Donald Trump quickly turned to Twitter to respond to the tragedy, but not to focus on the deaths. “So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed Colts linebacker Edwin

Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!” Trump said in a tweet. Immediately the loss of two lives became political and controversial, leaving room for generalizations. One immigrant’s careless mistake became every immigrant’s new obstacle. Disgraceful. Preventable. Illegal immigration. The three issues Trump zeroed in on. He used the tragedy as ammo to attack immigrants in one large blanket statement. It’s true, there are undocumented individuals that commit crimes, but amount has been largely overstated. Data shows that from 2001 to 2015, 60 percent of deported immigrants were not convicted of a crime, according to 2017 research from the Pew Research Center. Those who truly seek a better life in the land of opportunity are often ignored. Most undocumented individuals are students, entrepreneurs, hard workers and goal chasers. Many second-generation students can pursue their dreams because of the bravery of their parents. Thirty-six percent of college graduates are raised by immigrant parents, according to a 2013 research study from the Pew Research Center. A tremendous number of immigrants are taking strides to learn and make a difference in their lives and the lives of others. But even with hundreds trying to better themselves, it takes only one isolated incident to flip the script. Comparisons being made between this one reckless driver and hardworking Dreamers are

After a drunk driving accident involving an undocumented individual, people were quick to generalize and share ignorant comments online. People used their dislike of illegal immigration to ignore the issue at hand: drunk driving.

reckless around the country. On Twitter, people began to follow Trump’s lead. “Dreamer or dream killer,” said journalist Mike Cernovich on Twitter. Unfortunately, it’s these kinds of generalizations that leave prosperous immigrant students living in fear. Since Trump’s campaign, supporters have taken terrible incidents and used them to generalize foreigners as ill intentioned.

“The Mexican legal system is corrupt, as is much of Mexico. Pay me the money that is owed me now - and stop sending criminals over our border,” Trump tweeted in 2015. America’s leader has created a toxic identity for people who come from places outside of the United States; criminalizing all of Mexico’s natives is belittling and careless. Powerful leaders should invite optimistic attitudes, not

negative ones. The alternative idea would be to punish criminals on an individual basis, and use this incident as a reminder of the dangers of drunk driving, the actual issue at hand. In situations as horrible as drinking and driving accidents, now is the time to show empathy, not anger and frustration. By using this situation as a way to criminalize all immigrants, Americans are foregoing important discussions for asinine debates.

Balance: Titans unite for a chance at another win CONTINUED FROM

The Titans see defense as their strong suit. They believe their 4-0 start in conference play showcased how well they guarded other teams. Rowe feels that the team’s recent success can be attributed to getting back into a defense-first mindset. In the last two games, CSUF has held its opponents to 62.5 points per game. “We got away from that while we were losing. Now that we’re getting back on track defensively, it’s going to help us win games,” Rowe said. The Matadors rank last in the Big West in points per game and rebounds, averaging 64.6 and 31.6 per contest. Though this plays into the hands of the Titans’ game plan, they’re focusing on keeping practices aggressive and competitive to avoid becoming too comfortable again. “We got complacent and went on a four-game losing streak. So we’re just staying focused on keeping the competitive nature high at all times,” Rowe said. Ahmad and Rowe both believe the contest against Northridge will showcase a strong defensive performance from CSUF. However, they’re not confident that the final score will be low. Similar to what happened in the matchup with Cal Poly, Ahmad believes that the Titans’ play on defense determines how well their offense plays. “When we play good defense, we get stops and we get out on fast breaks and start scoring more. When we defend really well, we have really big offensive games too,” Ahmad said. Fullerton will play Northridge on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 6 p.m. in Titan Gym.

Cal State Fullerton men’s golf will resume its 2018 season as it prepares to take on 54 holes at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate Feb. 17 through 19. On Jan. 29 and 30 the Titans opened their spring season at the Waves Challenge in Somis, California where they placed 13th on day one and 12th on day two. The weather conditions during the tournament made it difficult for the Titans as strong winds and a temperature near 90 degrees led to CSUF’s near last place finish. Despite a disappointing performance in Somis, Titans Head Coach Jason Drotter is positive the team’s competitiveness is high going in to the Wyoming Desert tourney. CSUF and 21 other schools will be competing for the top spot when the Titans travel to Palm Springs this weekend. Drotter is confident that Fullerton will have its best foot forward after a week of individual reflection. “I think I was trying to get

our players sharp,” Drotter said. “Golf is a very individualistic sport so a lot of guys need different things in their game. So trying to get them to work on their individual areas of weakness is something they worked on this week.” Unlike previous tournaments, no one on the team will be competing individually. Despite the sport having a loose sense of team commitment, Drotter said the team’s collective morale could help it achieve better results. “I think this team has a very cohesive relationship, they work well together and I think they pull for one another. I don’t think we have any chemistry issues. This is one of the closest teams that I’ve had,” Drotter said. Although the lineup consists of the best teams, like the Golf Coaches Association of America’s No. 1, Oklahoma State, Drotter said the focus is on what the Titans will bring to the links. “I feel if the guys play well and to the best of their ability we should be very competitive. I never approach it like we’re playing against one team,” Drotter said. Day one of the tournament will begin on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 7 a.m.
