Orange County divided over sanctuary city laws

Outcry swells over state protections for undocumented immigrants.

Daily Titan

The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted on March 28 to support the lawsuit, also condemning a provision in SB-54, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in October 2017, which prohibits local authorities from disclosing immigration statuses to federal immigration enforcement.

However, cities within the county haven’t been so aligned as to where they stand.

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing the state of California for its sanctuary city laws that would not coincide with federal immigration policies.

Cities supporting the U.S. Justice Dept. lawsuit Aliso Viejo After a six hour discussion, the Aliso Viejo city council decided in a 4-1 vote on April 4 to file an a non-litigious

brief in support of the U.S. Justice Dept. lawsuit.

The council also approved a resolution to “support the rule of law” and demand Congress to reform its immigration law.

Dana Point Dana Point voted 3-2 on April 17 to support Los Alamitos’ self-exemption from state sanctuary laws, effectively supporting the U.S. Justice Dept. lawsuit.

Fountain Valley Fountain Valley city council voted 3-1 with one abstention on April 3 to support the U.S. Justice Dept. lawsuit.

Softball will travel to face University of Hawaii

The Titans look to continue riding their two-game winning streak after their victory over Long Beach State gave them the top seed in the Big West.

JARED EPREM Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton softball will take its No. 1 seed in the Big West conference on the road for its series against Hawaii starting Friday.

As they near the halfway point in conference play, the Titans an overall record of 23-20 record and an 8-1 conference record.

Fullerton’s comeback victory against Long Beach State last weekend gave the team a lead in the Big West, and also established a greater level of confidence among the players.

“Going in, we knew it was going to be a dogfight and a battle for first place,” shortstop Shianne Brannan said. “That was definitely a huge confidence boost. We’re on a high right now, and I don’t want it to go down.”

Titans Head Coach Kelly Ford attributed some of CSUF’s continued run of excellence in conference play to the predictable schedule that doesn’t exist during nonconference action.

Titans Head Coach Kelly Ford attributed some of CSUF’s continued run of excellence in conference play to the predictable schedule that doesn’t exist during nonconference action.

“When you’re playing in a tournament, you’re playing five games against five different teams. You don’t want to over scout because you have to focus on the first (game). Now that we’re in conference and we know we’re playing the team three times, we’re in rhythm with what we do in practice,” Ford said.

In the Big West the Titans rank second in hits, runs and RBIs, while Hawaii is sixth in runs and RBIs and seventh in hits. Brannan and Ford said the team’s practice routine does not change based on its opponent.

Brannan said she believes the Titans need to maintain a high level of intensity and focus during practice because their success this season and those prior have put a target on their back.

On April 5, American Language Program faculty and students protested the program’s closure on campus.

Faculty respond to ending English-language program University shuts down program for international students, creating backlash.

AMY WELLS News Editor

The closure of the 32-yearold American Language Program, ALP, could have an effect

on other programs at Cal State Fullerton.

TESOL, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, is a concentration in the Master of Science in Education program and requires its students to complete a teaching practicum, where students take over the class for a period of time to experience hands-on teaching.

ALP faculty member Mark Herbst said the ALP has been the “go-to” for graduate students to fulfill the requirement.

“We’re training people to get master’s degrees in this field at this college, and the university is saying there’s no value to it,” Herbst said.

College of Engineering dean search continues Candidate Houssam Toutanji answered faculty’s questions Wednesday.

“

The idea is that we need (female engineer students) to come here.

You are welcome here.

Staff Writer

Concerned faculty and staff gathered in a conference room in the Pollak Library on Wednesday to get a taste of what Houssam Toutanji has to offer as the possible new dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Cal State Fullerton.

During the event, the engineering community asked Toutanji questions ranging from how he will fix problems within the department to what he’s looking forward to if he does assume the position.

Toutanji currently serves as the dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Western Michigan University. His civil engineering credentials include a bachelor’s and master’s degree in civil engineering from Northeastern University and a doctorate in civil engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

During his presentation, he highlighted issues like admitting more female engineers into the engineering program and emphasizing a bottom-up leadership within the college itself.

Toutanji found the population for female engineering students to

be around 13 to 14 percent on average. One solution he proposed was an invitation to all admitted female engineering students to spend the day with the dean and participate in programs focused on women in the engineering world.

“The idea is that we need you to come here. You are welcome here,” Toutanji said.

He also highlighted his vision for the undergraduate education system, ways to attract more funding to the college and

the main characteristics of a good dean.

At the end of his presentation, Toutanji pointed out the department’s excellent opportunities for growth in its academic and research endeavors, and said it is ready to take on bigger and better opportunities.

Toutanji talked about the department’s greatest weakness within the faculty.

“From what I know so far, we have positions available, but they cannot find offices for these

faculty,” Toutanji said.

Another challenge Toutanji pointed out was a lack of research opportunities for faculty within the college.

“Are we going to do research or are we going to aspire to do research? I’m not saying we should or should not, but we should have this conversation,” Toutanji said.

He went on to address how some professors often try to do research while also teaching four classes, but there is only so much time in the day and it’s difficult to

fit in both.

Jonathan Woodland, a mechanist and director of the machine shop for College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics as well as the College of Engineering, had additional questions for the prospective dean.

“Would you consider taking space from faculty who don’t use their research labs?” Woodland said.

Toutanji said it was a “sensitive issue” and that an open conversation is needed to address it.

The prospective dean ended his presentation with a slide of CSUF’s mascot Tuffy the Titan and proclaimed to the room, “Go Titans!”

Kevan Shafizadeh, another candidate for dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science from Cal State Sacramento will also have an open forum on April 27 at 2:15 p.m. at the O’Brien Center in the Steven G. Mihaylo Hall.

Teach: Master’s students to lose mentor opportunity CONTINUED FROM

Bruce Rubin, another ALP faculty member, said the ALP has employed many TESOL students after they’ve finished their degree.

In the past, TESOL graduate students have been able to teach an ALP class under supervision of an ALP faculty member, said Carolyn Dupaquier, ALP faculty member.

“Often, those students would end up teaching part time in our department and become full time. Those students will no longer have any vehicle on campus for that,” Dupaquier said.

Several faculty members in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, where TESOL is housed, have expressed their concern with the program’s closure through a Change.org petition urging CSUF President Fram Virjee to keep the ALP from closing.

“This short-sighted decision will hurt Cal State Fullerton,” said Nathan Carr, a TESOL professor on the petition. “We will find ourselves in a few years needing to create a new program just like it.”

The university administration decided to end the ALP after deeming it to be financially unsustainable. As a self-support

program, the ALP is self-funded through its revenue.

“With the ALP gone, we are certain this will affect the quality of the CSUF TESOL program graduates, who both depend on real classrooms for their research and service, but also for their future employment,” wrote TESOL professor Janet Eyring in a comment on the Change.org petition.

Fourteen faculty members were officially notified on March 23 that the program would be closing and they would be laid off at the end of the spring semester.

ALP students were notified on April 2.

“Most schools have an ALP type program on campus that feeds into their university, and it helps to bring more international students over. By not having that, that does send a message that we are not as accommodating as we should be,” said Daniel Rueckert, a CSUF TESOL lecturer.

Rueckert, who also signed the petition, said other institutions have been more accommodating to bring in international students through extensive English programs.

“It’s kind of disheartening on my side to see that we are going in the opposite direction by cutting these types of services,” Rueckert said.

The Duo gets a taste of culture at the third annual Titan Night Market.

HANNAH MILLER Lifestyle Editor

TRACY HOANG Layout Editor

We’ve eaten everywhere from food festivals in Los Angeles to dives in New York, but today we decided to eat closer to home.

Modeling after the 626 Night Market, the third annual Titan Night Market hosted a variety of clubs like the Asian Pacific American Resource Center and the Thai Student Association to celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Heritage Month.

Daily Titan photo editor Gabe Gandara and assistant lifestyle editor Brian Alvarado were dragged along with us to the Quad at 5 p.m. and together we were met with a line longer than we had expected. Students stood in the line ready for the free food that waited on the other side of the entrance.

We were antsy with our feet shifting as we wondered when we would be allowed to eat and silently judge those cutting us in line. When students finally flooded the Quad, they were instructed to complete two activities before eating. We rolled our eyes; we had to wait in another line for our free food? The inhumanity of it all almost got to us, but we persevered.

When we first walked in, our eyes immediately spotted the

THURSDAY APRIL 19, 2018

signature yellow boxes from Porto’s and rows of Spam musubi. Music boomed from speakers, nearly making us deaf, as KPWR-FM blared song after song.

It was 5:30 p.m. by the time we reached the front of the line for our first activity. We were already grumpy, but we smiled awkwardly as they snapped a picture of us at the photobooth and initialed our stamp card. We waited in another line for another initial before they announced the lines were too long for everyone to participate in two events, so one initial would suffice.

A mad dash for food ensued.

We split up, some of us running for the Spam musubi, some for pad thai and some for samosas. Portions were small, but that was to be expected because everything was free.

Brought in from L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, the musubi was cold by the time anyone got to it, but it was still good. The musubi was cut in half to make it last longer, but it was one of the first to be depleted. Those who came first ate first, and those who lagged didn’t get anything.

However, the spicy samosas that were filled with potatoes and peas packed a punch.

The Thai Student Association served pad thai from Thai Basil in Fullerton. Like the musubi, the pad thai became cold from sitting as we stood in line. The condiments were on the side, but in its truest form tasted nothing like the pad thai we’re familiar with.

When we finally made our way to the Porto’s booth, we were ready for something sweet.

Hosted by the Queer and Trans People of Color Collective and Queer Straight Alliance, we were offered a choice between regular and guava cheese rolls.

The flaky pastry was delectable, melting in our mouths and fusing with the guava cheese

Other food options at the Titan Night Market included spicy rice cakes and vegetable and pork lumpia.

spread. We were in momentary heaven.

Still craving sweets, we visited the Association of Indonesian Students for the best bite of the night. Lapis surabaya, an Indonesian layer cake, sat modestly on the table. While it wasn’t the flashiest booth, the flavor spoke for itself. Made from egg, flour and jam, the cake was sweet enough to satisfy but it wasn’t overwhelming by any means.

Sweetness had overcome us, and we needed something to wash it down, but there was nothing to sip in sight.

Almost all of the food was gone by the time we left, which was about 6 p.m., although the event was slated to last until 8 p.m. We left hungry, though many stayed for the performances that were scheduled for later.

While there wasn’t enough supply for the demand, it was a nice stop for those who made it on time.

California’s bullet train can solve travel woes Despite the high cost, the high-speed rail is worth it.

COLE GRAVES Staff Writer

Transportation has evolved to become more efficient and safer, and Americans have advanced from the horse and buggy to electric and even self-driving cars.

Although, when it comes to advancements in trains and locomotion in America, it wouldn’t impress our grandparents in the slightest.

With California’s constantly expanding population, it’s clear that its citizens can no longer keep up with the traffic nightmares of automobile travel, producing gridlock and extended commute times for millions. It is time for rail transportation to evolve and for Californians to embrace the high-speed train as a truly viable option.

Originally passed as a ballot proposition in 2008, California’s high-speed train had its share of opponents, political roadblocks and financial problems. In March this year, the budget was revised to $77.3 billion, a dramatic increase from the original estimate of $40 billion, according to the 2018 California High-Speed Rail Authority business plan.

Make no mistake, there are many issues with California’s high-speed rail project. At first glance, it appears to be a giant sinkhole for taxpayers’ money, but upon closer inspection, the high-speed train is a necessary remedy to Californians’ current travel woes and it far outweighs rising costs and supposed chaos.

The high cost has encouraged opponents of the bill to suggest the entire idea — one of the largest infrastructure projects in the nation to be scrapped and the $9.9 billion in taxes from the California taxpayers be used for some other undetermined transportation project.

ANITA HUOR/ DAILY TITAN

Opponents may think the bullet train is a giant sinkhole for taxpayer money, but in fact, it is a necessary addition to California transportation.

California’s high-speed bullet train, which originally planned to link Los Angeles to San Francisco in three hours, offers many attractive and beneficial aspects to California transportation. Projected to carry 120,000 passengers a day at $55 for a one-way ticket, the bullet train would significantly cut costs for travelers.

In addition to the cheaper cost, valuable time would be saved if California commuters didn’t have to fight through traffic while driving to the Los Angeles International Airport, on top of struggling to find a parking spot, getting through security and waiting to board a plane. Instead, train riders can board a train relax or work electronically, making them more productive.

Completion of the train would also bridge the gap between affluent areas like San Francisco, the coast, and the much less expensive Central Valley. It would connect cheaper housing in Bakersfield with jobs in Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley, enabling residents to make an easier commute.

With California’s current population at 39 million people and projected to be 50 million by 2050, its transportation issue would greatly benefit from utilizing an additional form of mass transit.

California’s high-speed rail would take cars off highways, reduce pollution from excess cars and reduce traffic fatalities as well. The train is a clean, quiet, ecologically-friendly alternative and helps California reach its carbon emission goals, according to California High-Speech Rail Authority.

The railway would also result in job creation. Currently, there are over 1,700 people working on this plan, and that number is expected to increase in future years as more branches of the rail are built. New jobs will be created in each town or city where a station is built, fostering an economy of new and existing businesses in each town where the train stops.

And for those who are still crying about the rising cost and the projected increases of the final bill — hush.

Yet, the project’s benefit has far outweighed the cost involved, supplying water to 25 million Californians and irrigating 750,000 acres of farmland, according to the Water Education Foundation.

Berkeley was one of the first public universities, but the public university systems have grown to include 33 schools (10 UC, 23 CSU) that are constantly expanding, building and growing. The UC and CSU systems were able to educate over 642,000 students in 2016, according to Legislative Analyst’s Office.

The early stages of the railway will be the most difficult due to lack of funding and generated profit. Granted, there are big milestones that must be overcome such as obtaining private investors, increased taxation and keeping rising costs from extending further.

In the long run though, the bullet train’s benefits will by far surpass the costs. It will be a resource used by millions to save time and money, help protect the environment, create jobs for many areas and reduce traffic.

Opponents who still insist that a project of this magnitude is a lost cause and a financial sinkhole need to take a look at California’s history with other mammoth projects that either barely passed the public vote or went way over budget — the California Aqueduct, the University of California and California State University systems.

The aqueduct was pitched to voters in 1960 as a $1.75 billion dollar project, which experts say was a misleading and low-balled figure; it was estimated to be four times that sum at $4.3 billion.

A part of California’s State Water Project, the aqueduct has been a vital resource in supplying Southern California cities and farmland with water, playing a key role in California’s agricultural industry and economy.

But with the good comes the bad; like the high-speed rail project, California’s water project had its own setbacks. Ecological concerns, lack of financial support and environmental challenges are only a few of the hurdles the water project overcame.

Titans to host weekend series against Hawaii CSUF baseball will face the Rainbow Warriors, who are tied with Fullerton for the No. 1 spot in the Big West conference.

MATTHEW MENDOZA Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton baseball will host the University of Hawaii in a Big West conference series starting Friday at Goodwin Field.

The two teams are currently tied

THE STUDENT VOICE OF CAL STATE FULLERTON

for first place in the Big West with the Titans at 4-2 and Hawaii at 6-3.

CSUF is coming off of a road loss to the University of San

Diego. A fourth inning collapse in which the Titans allowed six runs on five hits, blew their 4-0 lead. Fullerton, 17-18 overall, has performed better at home this year posting a 10-7 record at Goodwin Field.

The Titans have to be pleased with leaving San Diego after their pitching staff allowed 34 runs over the course of their four game road trip against San Diego State and the University of San Diego.

Fullerton has played 35 games so far, and has managed only eight home runs out of 298 hits this season. CSUF averages a .337 on-base percentage and a .330 slugging percentage.

Titans outfielder Mitchell Berryhill comes into the series swinging a hot bat, holding a seven-game hitting streak dating back to April 7. Over those seven games, Berryhill has collected 12 hits and achieved a .480

batting average.

Hawaii is disciplined at the plate, striking out the least amongst all teams in the Big West conference. Hawaii outfielder Adam Fogel leads the team in strikeouts, and provides the most offense for Hawaii as he leads the team in hits, RBIs. First pitch of the series is slated for 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The series finale will be at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.

“It’s something you live for.

I feel like that pressure is the thing you want to play for, but you don’t want to let the pressure become too big,” Brannan said.

To counteract the pressure, Ford integrated “free spirit” time into practices to teach Fullerton to have fun while also getting work done.

“I think a characteristic of a championship team is a team that can laugh together,” Ford said. “When they can laugh together and tease each other, it

creates a more relaxed vibe ... there is power in playing this game loose and free.”

Brannan has no problem buying into the “loose and free” ideologies that her coach preaches because she believes CSUF will secure its third-consecutive Big West championship.

“Yes, of course I do. I’m super confident in our team,” Brannan said.

The Titans will have three chances to inch closer to that title with Friday’s game starting at 9:00 p.m. and Saturday’s games at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., respectively.

RICARDO NAVARRO Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton tennis will be looking to capture a win against Long Beach State on Friday and enter the tournament on a hot streak in its final game of the season before the Big West championship on April 26.

“If we keep going the way we have been going the rest of the season with our preparation and treating every match the same, we will have a pretty good shot,” said Titans Head Coach Dianne Matias.

Prior to Saturday’s loss against UC Santa Barbara, the Titans were on a three-game winning

streak. CSUF is looking to improve on its total record of 17-5.

“The ones that we have lost have been 4-3 losses, so we’re right there. The next two weeks we’re just going to put in all we got and go for the championship,” said senior Isabel Donaldson.

The Titans will have to be strategic in their Friday match against Long Beach State, as the 49ers are No. 5 in the Big West standings with an 11-8 overall record and 5-2 conference record.

Long Beach’s main doubles duo, Lena Pacholski and Sadaf Sadeghvaziri, lead the team with a 7-1 doubles record and are currently on a two-match winning streak.

Facing tough competition, the Titans will need to utilize Sarah Nuno and Karla Portalatin in their doubles matches. The two currently have an overall record of 23-6 and a conference record of 5-1.

The Titans will take on Long Beach State in an away match on Friday, April 20 at 2 p.m.
