ASI offers full refunds for Spring Concert Ticket holders will not be offered their money back automatically, but will be required to fill out an online request form. BRIAN ALVARADO Asst. Lifestyle Editor

Associated Students is offering refunds to Spring Concert ticket purchasers after main headliner Kehlani cancelled her performance due to health issues. The announcement came over social media and through email Monday, with Associated Students apologizing for how it handled the situation involving Kehlani’s illness and inability to follow through with her performance, leaving some in attendance waiting for

over an hour before realizing what was happening. “We understand that this cancellation was disappointing to everyone and we apologize for not being able to inform our audience sooner,” read the release from Associated Students. Scott Martin, Associated Students associate director of marketing communications and design, said Kehlani took action before a decision was made on what the next steps would be. “She took it upon herself and she posted to social media before we were even done discussing with her management. We didn’t even have a chance to announce that she wasn’t going to perform,” Martin said. Kehlani posted on her Instagram story at 7:57 p.m. pre-apologizing for what turned out to be her cancellation. No official announcement came from Associated Students regarding Spring Concert besides the voice of

Kehlani apologizing over the sound system at approximately 9 p.m. It wasn’t until 10:43 p.m., over an hour after the concert had already concluded, that Associated Students took to Twitter to comment on the situation. The post did not address its reasoning for the hour of silence on the matter. Martin said Associated Students began talks about giving refunds immediately. “The process, like with anything with contracts being involved, is you have to go through all the legal aspects of what a contract entails and put a plan together. Discussions began on our next steps at the actual conclusion of the Spring Concert,” Martin said. The refund offer is not automatic and requires purchasers to fill out a request form online to get their money back.

Artist transforms old belongings

‘Reclaiming Landscapes’ by Jarod Charzewski uses recycled items to mimic natural environments. CAITLIN BARTUSICK Asst. Copy Editor

Piles of worn clothing items arranged in a vivid spectrum of color carefully settle along the walls of the Nicholas & Lee Begovich Gallery, resembling the rich sedimentary layers of

Earth. The striking display of discarded belongings is intended to unearth the harsh realities that lie buried beneath landscapes. In an art installation titled, “Reclaiming Landscapes” artist Jarod Charzewski uses 6,000 pounds of donated Goodwill clothing, 4,000 pounds of electronic wires and 500 pounds of bike tires and tubes from Jax Bicycle Centers to create a visual embodiment of waste in American consumer culture. Charzewski, who has been creating art installations for the past 10 years, said he wanted

to emulate the unique environmental elements that make up Southern California. Using the imagery of snowcapped mountains and recent catastrophic wildfires and mudslides as palettes, Charzewski integrated their colors to dramatically recreate the landscape. “I was always thinking about this torn Earth and these colliding pieces of Earth. I was very moved by a lot of the imagery of the mudslides,” Charzewski said. SEE LAND 4

CSUF club advocates for homeless awareness

Orange County’s homeless situation prompts action from on-campus group. Asst. News Editors

Orange County’s homeless population was shaken up in February when authorities cleared out residents of the Santa Ana riverbed and offered temporary relocation to nearby motels. When the 30-day motel program ended on March 28, 338 of the 589 assessed occupants were sent to shelters, rehabilitation centers, hospitals or jails, according to a memorandum by Orange County Executive Officer Frank Kim. However, the county still faces problems housing the homeless despite some receiving assistance. The remaining 251 homeless people declined shelter or services in some capacity, according to the memorandum. That’s where the Cal State Fullerton chapter of Generation United Nations (GenUN) hopes to step in. 2

Jarod Charzewski’s other installations also use common items, including soldiers sculpted from books and a mural made with restaurant supplies.

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball guard Kyle Allman confirmed he will work out with NBA teams leading up to the 2018 NBA draft. The Titans’ leading scorer said he is “testing the waters” and plans to return for his senior season if a team doesn’t select him in the draft. “(I’m going to) put in the work until next summer unless they guarantee me a spot,” Allman said. Allman said he’s using the workouts to get feedback from the different franchises prior to his senior season. He confirmed that he will not be signing with an agent ahead of his workouts, meaning he’ll still be eligible to play his senior season if he pulls back out of the draft.

From his sophomore to junior season, Allman improved from 10.2 points per game to 19.5 while increasing his three-point accuracy by more than 15 percent (42.9). In his junior season, he led the Big West conference in overall and conference scoring, made the Big West Men’s Basketball All-Conference First Team and was named the Big West Tournament Most Valuable Player. Allman’s efforts helped lead the Titans to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008 by winning the Big West Tournament. Fullerton lost to Purdue 74-48 in the first round of the tournament. Allman scored 21 points and grabbed five rebounds in the contest. Last year, Titans leading scorer Tre Coggins worked out for the Lakers and other NBA teams in preparation for the 2017 NBA draft, but was ultimately not selected. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM
