Emails allege library power struggle Clement Guthro’s firing said to be result of conflict with Information Technology over space allocation. AMY WELLS BRANDON PHO News Editors

A turf war over space in the Pollak Library may have brought down former library dean Clem Guthro, who will be replaced by Emily Bonney, interim assistant vice president for academic human resources. It appears the dismissal resulted from a “conflict over allocation of space” between Guthro and the Division of Information Technology as part of the work being carried out to repair and remodel Pollak Library, according to an email sent to faculty by the Emeriti Association webmaster. Cal State Fullerton’s Vice President of Information and Technology Amir Dabirian denied being in conflict with former library deans. “I worked with (Guthro) very professionally for the past year, and professionally with the previous librarians and with Dr. Bonney. My job is to partner with whoever is in that role moving forward, and I look forward to working with them,” Dabirian said. Guthro was abruptly terminated on March 2. The same day, Kari Knutson Miller, provost and vice president for academic affairs, emailed the library faculty and staff to tell them they had a new temporary leader. Not all faculty have been happy about the decision. “Here is a provost who did not support the academic Dean of the Library, rather she submitted to the wishes of the VP of IT,” said a faculty member to another faculty member in an email obtained by the Daily Titan.

Three pairs of Titans have thrown their hats into the ring of the ongoing election to become Cal State Fullerton’s next Associated Students, Inc. president and vice president. The first pair is fourth-year communication studies major Josh Borjas running for president and fifth-year advertising major Ana Aldazabal as his vice president. Borjas is a first-generation college student who has prior experience with ASI as a College of Communications representative on the board of directors. He is also associated with the Sigma Pi fraternity and as a campus tour guide, according to the official candidate guide. His running mate is a transfer student who advocates for undocumented individuals and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival community. She was president of the Diversity Resilience Education Access Movement Co-Operation in fall 2017, according to the guide. “We want to use my network that I’ve developed up and down California, the Midwest and the east coast to bring the best ideas to this campus,” Borjas said during a presentation for the Sports Clubs Inter-Club Council (SC-ICC) on Friday.

Candidates for president, vice president bring experience from all across CSUF.

The Cal State Fullerton art department is filled with passionate students whose visions come to life in their painted pictures or sculpted statues. For Christy Sohie, a transfer student majoring in graphic design, running her stationery business, called Sohie Paperie, helps turn her creative ideas into reality. Sohie fell in love with self-employment and the process of creating her own product, but her future in the stationery business wasn’t always planned — she originally wanted to become a kindergarten teacher. Sohie’s career plans took a turn after taking classes and coming to the realization that teaching was not for her. “I realized I was more passionate about other things, and one of those things is managing my own business,” Sohie said. After going to her counselor to see other available options, Sohie decided to look into graphic design. She was compelled by the dynamic combination of visual and verbal context to communicate conceptual images. Sohie was finally set on her decision and began the process of working toward her degree. “I remember being in my first drawing class because I had never done anything with art in a structured environment.

Her business blossomed when she created her own wedding invitations from scratch to save money. She developed greeting cards out of scrapbook paper and glued them onto blank layouts. Eventually, she launched her business in 2014 on Etsy, an online marketplace for selling and buying

handmade or unique goods. Sohie’s brand now consists of florals, pastels and watercolor portraits, showcasing her preferred aesthetic of clean lines with a modern feel and vintage touch. Dylan Sohie, Christy’s husband, said her work is “whimsical” and “fresh” with a very personal touch. Kristin Smedona, a longtime friend of Christy who has owned a photography business for 12 years, said Sohie Paperie is a testament

to Christy’s work ethic. “She’s always looking for new ideas, new ways to market, new things she can do to help other people,” Smedona said. However, growing her business has been occasionally difficult due to time constraints with school. Even though she enjoys cultivating her business, Christy said there have been times when she’s had to prioritize school instead. SEE CARD

Pollak: Dean’s dismissal draws faculty scorn 1

“The librarian is responsible for the library and should protect what it does and how it does it. He should not be fired for doing so. Rather it is the provost who must work out any issues the VP IT has and then work with the librarian to either accommodate the VP IT or tell him ‘No,’” the faculty member wrote in the same email. Knutson Miller said the entire campus community, including Dabirian, has a voice in what happens with the library. “It really is a partnership in terms of supporting the space

initiative and the programming initiatives as well,” Knutson Miller said. Academic Senate member Jon Bruschke said any “substantive issues” occurring in the library should have come to the attention of some senate entity, like the library committee or executive committee, which handles problems on campus. “There was no opportunity for anyone other than administration to have any input or do anything that could have helped,” Bruschke said. “There was no indication that there was any problem that should result in the dismissal of a high-ranking person when it was

unlike Cal State Fullerton,” said Beverly Toy who attended a recent Patrons of the Library board meeting where Knutson Miller spoke. The Dean of the Library position is an “at-will position that does not attain permanent status,” said Jeff Cook, CSUF chief communications officer, in an email. “They’re not going to be able

The word is going to get out,” said Toy, whose husband, Ernest Toy, was the founding librarian at CSUF. “Who’s going to want to come to Cal State Fullerton if they’re treated like that?” Before Guthro was hired in December 2016, there had not been a permanent dean of the library since Richard C. Pollard retired in 2013. Knutson Miller and President Framroze Virjee appointed Bonney as interim library dean on March 9. This takes Bonney away from her position as interim assistant vice president for Academic Human Resources.

CSUF student illustrates woodland cartoon series

Jake Morrison’s love for comic books has influenced his career goals. KAMERON LEONG Staff Writer

Growing up, Jake Morrison was captivated by comic books and cartoons. Now in his third year at Cal State Fullerton, Morrison is still captivated by the very same things. The only difference is, instead of watching and reading comics and cartoons, he is actively creating his own and trying to make a name for himself in the competitive and crowded field of animation and illustration. “He is always working on his comics, or he is working on something. He always takes a pause every time we hang out though, but usually I always interrupt him when he is working on something,” said Jenny Duong, Morrison’s girlfriend. Morrison chose CSUF because he wanted to take advantage of its storyboard courses in the animation department. Morrison eventually applied those courses in his “Dani and Ramen” comic series. The series follows two woodland characters who search for the culprits who destroyed their home. Inspired by the real world around him, Morrison decided to bridge his comic with current environmental issues. “There’s this person who is taking all the power from the earth, the trees, the resources and giving the power to himself, similar to what humans are doing with fracking and deforestation,” Morrison said. He initially wanted his comic “Dani and Ramen” to get picked

Morrison also sees the added benefit of making money from the comic itself while he develops the series. “Dani and Ramen” is a source of pride for Morrison as he was able to copyright it at the age of 19. The copyright also allows him to go public with the comic and ensure protection from anyone attempting to steal his idea. While Morrison has other projects planned for the future, the absence of the copyright makes

In addition to her shop, Christy said she offers a free downloadable product each month, as well as a blog to interact and give back to her audience, who she says have supported her along the way. “I primarily do it just to connect with my customers and my audience because I don’t want it

It’s been over two years since Netflix viewers were first introduced to the largely unfamiliar, superpowered-whiskeyholic character Jessica Jones, who quickly became recognizable in the Marvel franchise. On International Women’s Day, Marvel fans were gifted with the return of Jessica in a brand new season full of revelations. “Jessica Jones” season two is mainly centered around the characters’ past catching up with them. After suppressing and avoiding her history, Jessica (Krysten Ritter) finally has to come to terms with it. The only secrets or explanations revealed thus far involved events in season one surrounding the trauma Jessica faced with Kilgrave (David Tennant), and the tragic car accident that killed Jessica’s family, leaving her an orphan. Season two makes it apparent these recollections only scratch the surface; the events that unfold bring out the chilling skeletons in Jessica’s closet, ones she wasn’t even aware of. The antagonist, played by Janet McTeer, is a superpowered being who was also developed by Jessica’s creators. While Jessica won’t admit to being a hero, her biggest fear is turning into a monster. Season two’s villain is not as frightening or as compelling as Kilgrave was, but leaves more of an emotional, personal impact on Jessica. Season two is slow to establish its interesting and binge-worthy plot until the seventh episode “AKA I Want Your Cray Cray.” Past this point, Trish Walker’s (Rachael Taylor) drug and party filled past (which was only hinted at before) is shown. The audience learns why Jessica is so reserved when it comes to letting people in. These party scene flashbacks are some of the best scenes of the season. The long buildup is frustrating and dull at times, but being patient pays off as each episode after

episode seven ends with nail-biting cliff-hangers often leading to internal screams and gasps of disbelief. But Jessica isn’t the only character with a major story arc this season. Jeri Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss), now alone and divorced, faces a major obstacle with her health, threatening her personal life and employment at her law firm. Jeri’s vulnerability is a new dynamic in the show and seeing her attempts to overcome these issues is empowering. Malcolm Ducasse (Eka Darville) is another character who attempts to overcome his own personal battles since his first appearance. While he primarily served as a secondary character in season one, he is a vital part to season two. He becomes more than just a recovering addict and finds purpose by becoming more involved in Jessica’s private investigation company and helping her solve cases. While Jeri and Malcolm serve as the two of the more likeable characters of the season, Trish turned out to be completely unbearable and unlikeable. Her actions are selfish and she hurts the people closest to her by using them for her own professional advantages and to get rid of her insecurities. Although Trish’s origins as Hellcat start this season, she is definitely not worthy of possessing powers or dealing with the ramifications explored in all of the Marvel Netflix shows. Season two is darker than the first and more violent, with brutal casualties often causing one to look away from the screen. Although the journey of unveiling the mysteries of Jessica’s past is dark, there are lighthearted and appropriate moments of comic relief found especially through Jessica’s snarky remarks. “Jessica Jones” season two answers many of the questions left in season one, but ends with new possibilities for each character as they all have new paths to unfold and their future to worry about. While it didn’t surpass the quality of its first season, it’s still worth binging to truly understand the complexities of Jessica and the other characters.

‘University silent on former library dean, announces replacement’ published March 13 Of the dismissal of Clem Guthro as library dean, for reasons at present publicly unknown, it may nonetheless be safely said that this matter was handled with cruelty and comprehensive ineptitude by the university.

AMANDA TRAN / DAILY TITAN

Forcing talented high school basketball players who are 18 years old to wait an extra year before joining the NBA only postpones the inevitable and puts them at risk for potentially career ending injuries at the collegiate level.

NBA ‘one-and-done’ limit restricts players’ careers Talented high school athletes can make their own decisions.

TAMEEM SAHAR

Asst. Social Media Editor

Basketball fans used to watch their favorite high school athletes jump from varsity to the NBA within the span of a few months. This all changed in 2006 when a new collective bargaining

agreement was introduced. It requires the league to implement a new draft policy forcing all high school players to be at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school in order to become draft eligible. Those who are talented enough to compete at the NBA level straight out of high school don’t need to prove their skills in college and risk potential career-threatening injuries. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett are examples of athletes who were skilled enough to succeed in the NBA without wasting a year in school. With the age limit policy restraining athletes from entering the league straight out of high school, many top players have taken their talents to the collegiate level to further showcase their skills.

In wake of the federal investigation into alleged NCAA corruption, which has recently come to light, college basketball faces an extremely bleak future. Over the years, 20 schools, including Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky and Michigan State, allegedly violated NCAA standards by providing high school, and college-level players and their families with money, plane tickets and meals during the recruiting process, according to Yahoo! Sports. NBA star LeBron James shared his own experience receiving under-the-table offers from colleges in 2003. Instead, he chose to enter the draft out of high school. “Me and my mom were poor, I’ll tell you that, and they expected me to step foot on a college campus and not go to the NBA?

We weren’t going to be poor for long, I’ll tell you that. That’s a fact,” James said in an interview scrum. The NCAA gained over $1 billion in revenue during the 20162017 school year, with a bulk of it coming from the extravagant March Madness tournament, according to USA Today. Collegiate coaches also enjoy these financial benefits, especially now with some who are paid more than NBA coaches. Duke’s Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski and Kentucky’s Head Coach John Calipari make an average salary of $8 million per year each, while their star players don’t get paid, according to Sports Illustrated. NBA commissioner Adam Silver has entertained the idea of ending the “one-and-done” age limit allowing players to enter the NBA draft straight out of high

school. Silver also plans to create relationships with high school players and let them be paid to play in the league’s developmental G League as an alternative to college before the NBA, according to ESPN. Even with the opportunity for high school prospects to skip college and evolve their game in the G League, the maximum salary is only $26,000 per season. That’s far less than the alleged under-the-table deals from college programs or their boosters, and exponentially lower than a rookie NBA deal. It’s time for the most talented high school athletes to once again gain the freedom to head straight to the pros without worrying about an age limit. The NBA needs to allow high schoolers to pursue their dreams without holding them back.

Titans softball comes up empty in doubleheader CSUF was unable to overcome the rain delay, falling 4-2 and 5-0. JACOB TATHAM Staff Writer

Anderson Family Field was welcomed with rainy weather as Cal State Fullerton softball failed to win either of its doubleheader games on Tuesday, falling 4-2 to Fairfield University and 5-0 to Columbia University. The Titans endured an erratic first inning against Fairfield. With sophomore Sophie Frost in the circle, the team gave up two early runs off an error and a fly ball to right field. CSUF answered in the second when outfielder Ari Williams stole second and was driven in by infielder Emily Randall. However, the rain stopped play for 57 minutes during the second inning while the field crew brought the tarp out until it eventually let up. Titans Head Coach Kelly Ford didn’t view the weather factor as an excuse for the team’s disappointing performance, instead pinpointing lack of effort as the problem. “Both teams have to deal with that so it’s an even playing field. We just flat out didn’t compete every pitch,” Ford said. Fullerton’s batting momentum continued to gain steam after the delay as catcher Julia Valenzuela tied the contest up with a ground ball down the middle that brought infielder Bryanna Ybarra home. Defensive woes returned in the third inning after two walks and a deep drive down the right field line gave Fairfield another two runs. The Titans faced trouble at the top of the sixth with runners at the corners. Clutch outs at home and third base helped them escape the inning unscathed. With runners on second and third, Fullerton was unable to capitalize in the seventh inning as Williams’ pop up to first base sealed the 4-2 loss. Columbia gave the Titans trouble early on in the following game by loading the bases in the first inning. However, CSUF squeezed out of the inning

only giving up one run by way of strong outfield play. Fullerton’s pitching kept the game in control until the top of the fifth when Columbia doubled to deep right center and gained two runs. CSUF struggled to finish at the top of the seventh as it gave up back to back doubles with two outs adding two more runs and handing Fullerton a 5-0 loss. The poor batting performance was disappointing for Ford as she noted it will be a major focus in practice for the remainder of the week. “I don’t know what team played this game tonight, but that’s not the Cal State Fullerton team I know,” Ford said. “It’s my job to get our mojo back.” The Titans will look to do exactly that going into a busy weekend at home entering the Easton Invitational, their final tournament in nonconference play, beginning with a doubleheader on Friday, March 16.
