ASI election validity in question following illegal meetings Associated Students was advised by legal counsel to hold an open meeting to ratify the results of eight closed sessions; disqualified candidates may appeal the council’s decision. BREANNA BELKEN Asst. News Editor

AMANDA TRAN / DAILY TITAN

The Associated Students Elections Judicial Council met eight times during the spring 2018 elections to hear complaints about all three candidate teams. No agendas were posted for the meetings.

Cal State Fullerton Associated Students may need to redo its presidential elections if the two disqualified candidates, Celine Moubayed and Colin Eacobellis, decide to appeal the outcome of ASI’s Elections Judicial Council (EJC) meetings. The council failed to post agendas and hold its meetings openly, violating the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act, a California law regulating student governing bodies. As a result, the candidates will have an opportunity to appeal

the decision in an upcoming meeting that will ratify the decisions of the illegal meetings. “The thought was that these were conduct hearings, much like you might see in student judicial conduct,” said Dave Edwards, executive director of Associated Students. “In hindsight, it’s clear now that they should have been open meetings.” Edwards said it was the first time the EJC held complaint hearings during an Associated Students election since its

conception just before the spring 2017 election. During the eight closed meetings, the council heard a total of 60 complaints against all three candidate teams, with each team receiving at least one complaint. Moubayed and Eacobellis, who were disqualified by the council on March 14 for sending campaign emails considered spam, said they still feel they have been wronged by the actions of the council and are seeking help from the administration. They said they are in contact with Berenecea Johnson

Eanes, vice president of student affairs, to discuss their treatment during the election. “As of now, we’re just kind of up in the air on what the next steps are,” Eacobellis said. After the Daily Titan reported the open meeting violations, the Associated Students Board of Directors, following advice from its legal counsel, decided to hold a new council meeting to review all 60 complaints in an open session.

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball will participate in the inaugural Myrtle Beach Invitational during the 2018-2019 season, ESPN Events announced Wednesday. The Titans are one of eight teams to play in the invitational. The only other team participating in the invitational to play in the 2018 NCAA Tournament is West Virginia, who were one of the final 16 teams in the tournament. “We are excited for this opportunity to be on the stage with some of the best programs in the country. It is great for our ball club to compete, learn and grow at an early stage in the season,” Titans Head Coach Dedrique Taylor told CSUF Sports Media.

With one team yet to be announced, the Titans will potentially compete against Saint Joseph’s, University of Central Florida, Valparaiso, Wake Forest, West Virginia and Western Kentucky. The early-season tournament will take place November 15, 16 and 18 at Coastal Carolina University’s HTC Center. Pete Derzis, ESPN senior vice president of college sports programming and ESPN Events, expressed his excitement for the new event. “After collaborating with Visit Myrtle Beach and the city of Myrtle Beach to move last year’s Puerto Rico Tip-Off to the area due to the effects of Hurricane Maria, we saw first-hand the community’s outstanding facilities and passion for college basketball,” Derzis said in a release statement. Coming off of the seventh 20win season in school history, a Big West Tournament championship and its first March Madness appearance in 10 years, CSUF is the only West Coast team named to play in the invitational.

It is a rare feat in California to find a place untouched by cement and asphalt. A concrete jungle of homes, schools and businesses

have taken over the natural habitats of many animal and plant species, often forcing them to find new homes. Mallard ducks, brown pelicans and kingsnakes are just a few of the many wildlife animals that call Upper Newport Bay their home. For the last 50 years, the Newport Bay Conservancy has dedicated its time, resources and efforts to ensure the Upper Newport Bay and

its wildlife doesn’t see the same cement and asphalt-filled future. “Not only are there fish in danger, there’s birds, there’s coyotes, there’s bobcats that are losing their homes due to overdevelopment here in Southern California,” said Nicholas Moreno, senior public relations student and MANTA Communications member.

Anti-abortion speaker Kristan Hawkins was hosted by the CSUF Students for Life, whose president Brooke Paz reached out to University Police with concerns about potential antifa-affiliated protesters.

Anti-abortion speaker Kristan Hawkins’ Wednesday evening appearance on campus, hosted by the Cal State Fullerton chapter of Students for Life, drew a meager crowd of five protesters who stayed silent in one area outside of the wrong building. This was not what Brooke Paz, Students for Life president, anticipated earlier in the day. Paz said she had consulted University

Police because she believed there would be an organized protest affiliated with antifa, a left-wing activist group that has, in some instances, used violence as a message. Paz said this prompted Hawkins to hire two security guards of her own. Paz said she had gathered this information from a Facebook page denouncing Hawkins’ appearance, created by Refuse Fascism Orange County. The page did not name the official antifa organization in any of its posts. Antifa’s Facebook page was also not listed under those who were attending or interested in attending the organized protest. “We know that they call themselves anti-fascists, which is basically what antifa is,” Paz said.

The security concerns moved the event from McCarthy Hall to the Titan Student Union where University Police kept watch, unbeknownst to the protesters, Paz said. “We’re just taking the measures to do our due diligence, so that the room will be a little bit easier to manage,” Paz said. Jules Luna, a member of Refuse Fascism Orange County and participant in the protest, disputed Paz’s concerns. “Labeling us antifa is a really negative connotation. We don’t represent that violent struggle,” Luna said. “We came to speak out in opposition to a speaker who we feel is threatening women’s rights.” Hawkins’ appearance at CSUF

is one stop in her “Lies Feminists Tell” tour, which includes appearances at schools like Cal State Los Angeles and UCLA. Nicole Chavez, member of Students for Quality Education, showed up to support the protest and said the anti-abortion speaker is trying to exaggerate the level of opposition to her appearances, citing Hawkins’ recent tweets about antifa showing up to “all” of the schools in her tour. “She’s not well known, I think that’s why you don’t have as big of a crowd,” Chavez said. Chavez said she’s supporting Refuse Fascism because the organization attended and supported Students for Quality Education’s Unity Block Party during

Milo Yiannopoulos’ Halloween appearance on campus. “(Our organizations) might not have similar tactics, but we do agree on similar issues,” Chavez said. Fran Sosa, another member of Refuse Fascism, wore bloodied pants and surrounded herself with blood-spattered coat hangers to illustrate the scene of a botched back-alley abortion. She said the anti-abortion movement is anti-women and the issue of abortion is a false issue. “Before abortion was legal, thousands of women died every year,” Sosa said. “Women will always struggle to control their lives in one way or another … It’s really not about abortion at all and it’s certainly not about life.”

Kristan Hawkins, Students for Life of America president, was invited by the organization’s Cal State Fullerton chapter to speak on anti-abortion activism on campus Wednesday. Hawkins has helped create over 1,200 Students for Life chapters across the U.S. since 2006 and served on President Donald Trump’s anti-abortion advisory council in 2016 while he campaigned. An organized protest by Refuse Fascism Orange County prompted event coordinators to

switch the event’s location from McCarthy Hall to the Titan Student Union. Hawkins arrived to a round of applause from the audience after her introduction and went straight into the topic. “I should never have to pay somebody to commit a violent act against another human being in order for me to have freedom. Abortion is the opposite of empowerment,” Hawkins said. Hawkins went onto the subject of sex, which she said “has consequences,” and how she believes hormonal contraceptives are harmful to a woman’s body. She said people shouldn’t have casual sex just for the fun of it, and that people should be more responsible whenever committing sexual acts. “We made something that wasn’t supposed to be casual. It was supposed to be for a committed relationship or a lifetime relationship,” Hawkins said. When discussing contraceptives, Hawkins said she blamed their unreliability on a 9 percent failure rate. “If my plane had a failure rate of 9 percent tomorrow, I wouldn’t be getting on it,” Hawkins said. More than 40 people, including people who were on the fence

regarding abortion issues, attended Hawkins’ speech. “We’ve put a lot of work into bringing Kristan on campus,” said Cameron Brewer, a second-year student and Students for Life member. “She has a really deep insight into the abortion issue.” Elena Murdock, a member of anti-abortion nonprofit Options United, looked forward to hearing Hawkins speak, and has been a fan of hers for the past few years. “She does great work for Students for Life across America,” Murdock said. “I believe that every life is worth defending.” Diego Gonzalez, second-year history major, said he was fascinated by Hawkins’ use of data and analytics to prove her points. “She brought up some statistics that I’d like to further study,” Gonzalez said. After her speech, Hawkins encouraged the anti-abortion activists in the room to influence more campuses to ensure that Planned Parenthood doesn’t enter any more school districts. “We need true nonprofits that aren’t political entities who can go and provide unbiased support to women,” Hawkins said.

Associated Students election candidates Colin Eacobellis (left) and Celine Moubayed (right) were disqualified on March 14 in an illegal closed meeting.

Results: Open meeting date to be announced 1

In an April 10 press release, Associated Students said the meetings will be reheld to ratify the actions previously taken at EJC meetings that did not comply with the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act. “I think what should be required is more than just an ‘OK put the agenda up, go into the room, and revote to disqualify because that tells the

constituency nothing about whether the action was properly taken or somehow political and improper,” said Terry Francke, general counsel for Californians Aware, an organization dedicated to compliance with open meeting laws. The Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act does not outline punishments for student government bodies that violate the law, only individuals who could be found guilty of a

misdemeanor if they knowingly attend a meeting in violation of the act. The EJC has yet to schedule the public meeting. Students who filed complaints, the candidates and anyone interested in attending the open meeting will be invited, Edwards said. Eanes said this is not the first time Associated Students’ meetings have been questioned. She also said that in her six years at CSUF, no meetings or decisions

have been overturned. “I’m actually very hopeful that everybody learns something,” Eanes said. “That’s why it’s a university, we’re all here to learn.” Francke said Moubayed and Eacobellis appealing the decision would be the only approach that would make a difference going forward. “It sounds like that (reholding the elections) is what should be done, unless the people who

were prejudiced by this disqualification decide it’s not worth it,” Francke said. After learning more about their options, Moubayed and Eacobellis said they will attend the meeting and decide whether to appeal to the board of directors for a re-election. “We’re excited to see what happens next, that’s for sure,” Moubayed said. Amy Wells contributed to this report.

The grueling wait at Pirates Kitchen made us want to walk the plank.

HANNAH MILLER Lifestyle Editor

TRACY HOANG Layout Editor

We didn’t know what we were walking into – ropes, flags with skulls and fake lobsters decorated the walls and ceilings of Pirates Kitchen, a new restaurant that popped up just down the street from Cal State Fullerton. After the little dumpling did some research on Yelp, we were interested. Only a few minutes walk from school, we grabbed our bags and dragged along one of our photo editors, Gabe Gandara, down for dinner. Walking into the joint, we were not expecting to be greeted by an actual pirate – well, a worker dressed in a pirate costume. The only worker dressed as a pirate. Looking around, it was pretty sparse for a Friday night. Maybe it’s because the workers bombard customers with questions as soon as they walk in, like the four employees who asked us how big our party was, all within seconds of one another. Two employees led us to our table, and then, nothing. We sat at our table for what felt like years; our bodies began deteriorating as we slowly lost our minds. Families came in after us, one after the other being seated, ordering and devouring what we could only smell. The lone pirate circled the restaurant multiple times. Each time we desperately tried to make eye contact, at first so we could order, but it quickly turned into a grapple for survival. We were all ready to risk our lives dueling the pirate if it meant we would find nourishment. After 45 minutes of emotional torture, we began waving our arms for help. The hostess spotted our SOS and meandered over to our table, making every pit stop she could along the way. Stopping at our table, she

explained the menu we had become painfully familiar with over the course of our desertion. Asking us what we’d like to drink (because we still had yet to be served water), she vanished. She took hope with her. The menu resembles that of other cajun restaurants similar to The Boiling Crab. Seafood was sold by the pound with a variety of sauces, and they also offered pastas and soups. Our waitress finally arrived with waters and a bowl of lemons and limes. Gabe frowned in silent disappointment – he ordered a Sprite. But we were already too beaten down to complain. When we finally ordered, we spoke as if we had been rehearsing our lines for years (it definitely felt like we had been).

popcorn shrimp was also cooked adequately. And although the batter was nothing special, the shrimp inside melted in our mouths. We were not so elegant. Shrimp heads, shells and PK sauce soon took over our table, flying from our hands as we slowly watched ourselves turn into mannerless pirates ourselves. It wasn’t until our hunger

became satiated that we could finally taste what we were so eagerly shoving into our mouths. While the cajun fries tasted crisp and fresh, as if they were just taken out of the fryer, the calamari may as well have been rubber. Our two-pound bag of shrimp didn’t meet expectations either, the sauce was weak and barely covered the shrimp in our bag. It tasted like cajun powder, paling in comparison to other bythe-pound cajun places, which often have notes of garlic and lemon. Most of it followed us home in doggie bags. However, sitting overnight in a fridge, the sauce was able to marinate the shrimp and the flavors mixed into a delicious surprise the next day. While the PK sauce is something we’d rather avoid, and the service lackluster, we’re not opposed to returning.

Protect: Students promote wildlife conservation 1

CONTINUED FROM

In an event hosted by a student-created organization called MANTA Communications, Newport Bay Conservancy presented informational boards, fun facts and animal pelts to the Golleher Alumni House on Tuesday. Moreno said being so close to beach communities motivated the group to work with an organization that focuses on environmental issues. By hosting the event on campus, the organization hopes more students will stop by the Newport Bay Conservancy and learn about their efforts. The learning experience for Moreno and members of MANTA didn’t start and finish with the event. Moreno said the students spent a day working with Newport Bay Conservancy in Upper Newport Bay where they cleared an island of trash and overgrown weeds. Since working with the conservancy, Moreno said his eyes have been opened to the few natural habitats that are left. “We don’t really think about (overdevelopment) too much because it’s our home, but going out there to see how little land there is left that’s protected, it was kind of a wake-up call,” Moreno said. Officially recognized as an ecological reserve in 1975, the bay has been untouched by human development. It is an estuary, coastal wetland where freshwater and saltwater meet. The unique environment creates an

area ideal for a diverse array of species. Heather Cieslka, the operations director for the conservancy, said places like the bay are important to preserve not only for animals and plants, but also as a place for people to de-stress and unwind. The nonprofit offers kayak tours and nature walks to teach people about the estuary in unique ways. It has also

planned events like Clean Up Day and Earth Day at the bay to increase awareness and get people involved. “We really want everybody to get out there and experience it. There’s nothing like being out on the water and seeing a tern dive right in front of you to capture a fish,” Cieslka said. At the event, tables were set up for visitors to learn more about the bay and the conservancy.

One table had different animal pelts and skulls laid out for people to guess the types of animals native to the bay. The activity allowed people to ask questions about the species while also learning about their environmental role in the bay. A poster displaying dozens of plants and animals that live in Upper Newport Bay was also laid out for visitors to color in and offered a unique way for

people to learn about the area. Bridget Bark, who lives in Huntington Beach, stopped by after seeing a social media post about the event. Not familiar with the efforts of organizations like the Newport Bay Conservancy, she said she left the event hoping to get more involved and take part in more activities. “This is how people learn and get further into being activists,” Bark said. paid advertisement

Stellar visuals electrify The Observatory

What So Not and Duckwrth energized the crowd with their performances. BRIAN ALVARADO Asst. Lifestyle Editor

The Observatory in Santa Ana opened its doors Sunday for its third show of the day, as electronic dance music fans were treated to a display of musical artistry through the digital expertise of DJ and producer Chris Emerson, better known by his stage name What So Not. Formerly a duo with fellow Australian record producer Harley Streten, better known as Flume, What So Not is on the United States leg of his Beautiful Things World Tour after releasing his debut album “Not All The Beautiful Things” on March 9. Previous stops included the Northern Lights Festival in Canada, Lollapalooza in Brazil and the legendary Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The musician has been producing and DJing since 2011, coming out with festival-favorite tracks like “Jaguar” and “High You Are,” while also collaborating with top producers and DJs like Skrillex, Dillon Francis and RL Grime. The short but lively two-hour show began with a pleasant surprise in the form of Los Angeles’ very own Duckwrth. The hip-hop artist came out jumping, getting intimate with the crowd as he displayed a whirlwind of emotions clearly noticeable in his rapping, singing and gestures. For what it’s worth, Duckwrth eventually had to remove his T-shirt because of how much he began to sweat from all the dancing he was taking part in. His hype and jumpy demeanor provided vibes and sounds, glaringly reminiscent of André 3000 from Outkast.

BRIAN ALVARADO / DAILY TITAN

What So Not’s debut album “Not All The Beautiful Things” was finally announced this January after taking three years to produce.

“I definitely listened to a lot of Outkast when I was younger, so I definitely see how that can end up in my subconscious. But, I don’t know, it’s probably just kindred spirit,” Duckwrth said. Joined by his on-stage crew, which consisted of a bass player and DJ, this was Duckwrth’s fourth show opening for What So Not, a warmup for his Coachella performance this weekend. “It’s been getting predominantly better and better every single show. The first one was sketchy. Santa Ana was f---ing insane,” Duckwrth said. After a short intermission,

it was time for What So Not to make his entrance. A black cloth, which was covering some sort of sculpture during Duckwrth’s set, was pulled off to reveal a horse, an exact copy of the one featured on the cover of What So Not’s album. Like almost any electronic music dance concert, what stood out was the combination of sound quality mixed and stage production, including strobe LED lights and overall design of the DJ’s platform for which he or she is performing on. What So Not’s setup clearly looked like it took some time

and heavy lifting to build and transport. Along with the familiar album cover horse, What So Not’s podium was held up by two monster truck-type tires on each side, all beneath an electronic drum set and laptop. The stage stood out as What So Not played all the percussions to each song, distinguishable from the normal turntables many are used to seeing DJs perform on. The drums gave What So Not’s performance a familiar feel, similar to how electronic music duo Odesza and Disclosure integrate electronic instruments into their live sets.

The Verdict: Overall, the combination of residual excitement from Duckwrth’s opening act and What So Not’s mind-blowing stage production made the Santa Ana stop of the Beautiful Things World Tour worthwhile. What So Not’s recognizable music and his use of an electronic drum set makes him stand out above a conventional turntable-playing DJ. Despite a steep $40 price point, the 11 p.m. start time on a Sunday night was a stellar opportunity for those clawing to salvage the rest of their weekend with the presence of a veteran DJ and above-average visuals.

Art programs are indispensable for students Brown University sets a good example by funding acting.

LAUREN DIAZ

Asst. Opinion Editor

Ongoing budget cuts for art programs are doing significant harm to students; schools at all grade levels need to fund art programs to ensure low-income artistic students are able to express themselves creatively and increase their learning capacities. Brown University is setting a good example by starting off the 2018-2019 school year with full-tuition scholarship funds for returning and future students in the Master of Fine Arts programs for acting and directing. The university is making an effort to provide low-income students with the opportunity to join performing arts programs this upcoming year. Other universities and schools need to follow the lead of Brown University as they stress the importance of performing arts. This action will not only create more opportunities for more students, but it will expand the diversity in the field and encourage

AMANDA TRAN / DAILY TITAN

By providing more funds to arts programs, students get the world class education they deserve.

innovation and experimentation in art-making, according to Brown University News. The U.S. takes pride in being the best, but if students are taught to only focus on three primary subjects —– math, reading and writing —– and are drowned in standardized tests, the idea that the nation is diversely educated is nonexistent. “We just don’t like the idea, frankly, of children not being exposed to the arts. It’s just not what we could call a world-class

education,” Dennis Inhulsen, chief learning officer at the National Arts Education Association said in an interview with the Huffington Post. Not only that, but budget cuts could weaken American students’ competitive edge internationally, which is a worry among the National Arts Education Association. There’s a lack of enthusiasm to offer these classes and as a result, student performances are beginning to suffer in art subjects.

Students aren’t excelling in musical arts, scoring an average of 147 out of 300 points in the 2016 National Assessment of Educational Progress, a test meant to evaluate music comprehension, according to the Nation’s Report Card, which tests students on their knowledge of multiple subjects including writing, reading, mathematics, and science. The lack of knowledge in the subject is also causing a reason to believe funding should be redirected and used properly according to Mick Mulvaney, White House budget director. Students who experienced an arts education performed better in reading and math exams, had better grade point averages, and were less likely to drop out of school, according to Americans for the Arts Action Fund, a national arts advocacy organization. Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, discovered and wrote about “The Mozart Effect,” which showed that college students who listened to 10 minutes of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart before taking certain parts of a test had improved scores. There are many courses taught by arts programs that contribute to a variety of professions such as advertising, publishing, video and multimedia design and architecture so these programs can’t be overlooked. If people want students to express themselves and excel in school, schools and universities should be aiming for higher funding in arts programs like Brown, and not throw it on the back burner to be forgotten.

Teacher strikes aren’t just about salaries Community support honors deserving educators.

JENNIFER GARCIA Staff Writer

Having weekends, summers and holidays off sounds like a dream job, but a public school teacher whose options are either a shortened pay season or a smaller paycheck may beg to differ. Low salaries are only one part of a larger set of problems that have led to teacher walkouts in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Arizona. State legislators are looking to cut costs wherever they can, but they’re looking in the wrong places — teacher and staff wages, and retirement funds. Teachers reasonably want state legislators to recognize the repercussions of a limited budget and understand that it is no longer just a teacher’s issue, but a community issue as well. The government claims there isn’t enough money to give raises and sustain the budget, yet as the New York Times said in an opinion article, West Virginia “senators, who receive hefty Department of

Teachers work hard despite low wages and budget cuts, and recognition for walkouts offers much-needed support.

checks from gas and energy companies, could have funded education needs had they passed a modest tax increase on these companies.” It all comes down to a lack of money. Rather than tax these big companies, and possibly lose those “hefty checks,” senators in West Virginia cut school budgets and under pay hard-working teachers and staff.

Budget cuts have led to fourday-a-week classes in some parts of rural Oklahoma, with art classes being cut and schools lacking of supplies like textbooks. Teachers have also had to become increasingly creative with how they teach students, often using their own money to buy basic classroom supplies, such as dry-erase markers, paper, pencils and erasers. They are even

sending home checklists asking parents to donate supplies for the classroom like tissues and hand sanitizer. Originally meant to teach children the basics — reading, writing and arithmetic — teachers are now seen as counselors, listening to student concerns about everything from homework to troubles at home. They are referees, breaking up fights on the

playground and in cafeterias. With the added threat of school shootings, some teachers are also taking on the role as security guards. It’s no wonder teachers are starting to crack beneath the unnecessary added pressure. The government seems to label children a high priority with programs ranging from nutrition to outdoor activities, but it doesn’t seem to realize that by not listening to voices of the teachers, it is neglecting the needs of the children. School is often a haven for children, particularly for those who rely on school-provided resources like lunches when they might otherwise have gone hungry. And parents who rely on weekdays when their children will have a relatively safe place to be. After a nine-day walkout, the teachers of West Virginia were successful in getting Gov. Jim Justice to sign legislation authorizing a contract agreement that includes a 5 percent pay raise for the 20,000 teachers and more than 10,000 support staff in the state. Teachers deserve appreciation for their unseen hours of extra work. To avoid further budget cuts, continued community support can result in more changes like the one in West Virginia. Continuous efforts from teachers ensure that, despite the budget cuts, students will still receive a good education. Though the budget cuts in education certainly shouldn’t have been so severe, with support from the community teachers voices can be heard and meaningful change made.

Increased police training can prevent harm Law enforcement doesn’t properly handle all situations.

DIANE ORTIZ Staff Writer

Sequita Thompson and her husband called 911 at their home in South Sacramento, not knowing the police were already in the couple’s backyard, and in this instance, the couple was presumed to be the threat. Thompson’s grandson, Stephon Clark, was only 22 years old when he was shot and killed by the police outside of Thompson’s home. The young man was holding a cellphone in his hand that police said they thought was a weapon. The officers proceeded to fire 20 bullets at the unarmed man. Eight of the bullets hit him and ended his life, leaving his two children fatherless and a grandmother in unbearable grief. The officers’ reckless use of deadly force reveals a flaw in police training, police convictions and ultimately, a lack of empathy for the marginalized. If law enforcement increased training hours and focused more on de-escalation in high-intensity situations, rather than immediately reacting with firearms, many victims might have lived another day. In California, officers need less training than a cosmetologist. Police trainees need a minimum of 664 hours academy training and 14 weeks of field training to receive a badge, while a cosmetologist needs more than 1600 hours of training to receive their license. Officers need substantially

The Stephon Clark shooting shows that police officers don’t always react properly to adverse situations.

more hours of real-world training to prevent reckless killings, as they are trusted to protect people’s safety. In Clark’s case, the police were responding to a report that a man had broken car windows and was hiding in a backyard, an offense hardly punishable by death. On average, 1,000 a year, on-duty officers shoot and kill someone, according to 2017 research by Bowling Green State University. More shocking than that, most officers are found to be within their legal rights. The current standard says police can use deadly force when they see a need for “reasonable force,” meaning they have discretion to use as much force as they “reasonably” think

necessary to protect both the public and themselves, according to Nolo, a site that provides legal information. The fact is, “reasonable” is subjective and in high-intensity situations, completely difficult to discern. The training combined with current laws shapes police officers’ mentalities in a hazardous wear. “The increasing focus on making sure no one gets hurt has evolved into an obsession with trying not to injure the bad guy. Law enforcement officers’ primary concern should be to ensure that no innocent civilians or police officers get hurt,” Lt. Todd Keister of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation wrote in an article for Police Magazine. Police Magazine is written by policemen like Keister. In the

magazine, a feature article titled, “Less-Lethal: Mixed Blessings,” showcases a perspective from a veteran officer who has been in high-stakes situations. While it is understandable to consider officers’ lives when on scene, it is also important to remember suspects are human beings. In most cases, a suspect is not identified until they are booked. There is always a chance the suspect isn’t the person they are looking for, meaning many innocent several deaths. Like Clark, many suspects have been unarmed and wrongfully identified, but immediately fired on. Luckily, California is paving the way to change the way these cases are handled. The Police Accountability and Community Protection Act was been

ANITA HUOR/ DAILY TITAN

proposed by state Democratic lawmakers in April. This act would raise the legal threshold for when a officer’s “reasonable force” would become “necessary force” and would require police to use non-lethal options when there is no imminent danger to themselves and the public. If this step is taken, it will be a small yet significant step forward. The point is not to put the lives of suspects above law enforcement, but to protect the lives of all parties involved. In a high-stakes situation, an officer should be able to use force when their lives are being threatened, but not to a violent degree, such as firing a gun. This could lead to safer arrests and fewer accidental deaths.

Softball looks to continue conference play undefeated

CSUF will go head-to-head against rival Long Beach State in three-game series. JARED EPREM Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton softball will face No. 18 Long Beach State at home in a three-game series starting Friday. The two teams are the only undefeated ones left in Big West conference play. The Titans have won six

straight games and pitcher Sophie Frost credits their success to the hard work the team puts in during practice. “We have fun but we do what we need to do outside of games to get better,” Frost said. Long Beach State comes to Anderson Family Field with a 31-7 overall record and a 13game winning streak. The 49ers are led by pitcher Cielo Meza, who leads the Big West in earned run average, strikeouts and wins. Fullerton has played 28 of its

40 games this season at home, posting a 16-12 record. Frost said the team’s difficult nonconference schedule prepared them for the challenges of conference play. “I think at this point we know not to look at the name on their jersey. It’s the same game we’ve been playing our entire lives. If we take it one pitch at a time, we’ll be fine,” Frost said. Winning her last three starts has given Frost and catcher Julia Valenzuela greater confidence in themselves. Frost believes the

duo is “unstoppable” when they step on the field together. Valenzuela said the time spent together in the bullpen and as roommates bolsters their strength as a unit in games. “We can talk to each other about things we need to work on,” Valenzuela said. “It’s not like I’m getting mad and telling her ‘This is what you need to do.’ We’re working to better each other.” In the series against Cal State Northridge, Valenzuela recorded a hit in all three games and

multiple hits in the first two. Valenzuela said the performance gave herself more confidence in her swing after recording only nine hits during the entire month of March. “I’m just trying to simplify myself and work on the little things. When I go up to bat, I’m not thinking that much. I’m trying to be aggressive,” Valenzuela said. On Friday at 6:00 p.m. the Titans will face Long Beach State at home and again on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
