Two Titans Contaminated groundwater under OC earn Big West men’s golf recognitions

Derek Castillo and Mark Cobey were awarded with all-conference honors. JARED EPREM Sports Editor

Sophomore Derek Castillo and senior Mark Cobey of Cal State Fullerton men’s golf received All-Conference honors for the Big West conference on Wednesday. In his first year at CSUF, Castillo made the All-Conference first team. Cobey earned second team honors in his final season with the team. Castillo’s best performance of the season came at the Bill Cullum Invitational on Oct. 16 and 17. He took first place overall at 14-under-par 202 as he led the Titans to a fourth-place finish out of 12 teams. Some of his top performances of the season include the Sacramento State Invitational (tied for eighth at 2-over-par 218), the ORU/SFA Challenge (tied for seventh at 4-over-par 217) and the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate (tied for seventh at even par 216). In the Big West championship, Castillo shot 2-over-par 218 for a 19th-place tie. At the Waves Challenge on Jan. 29 and 30, Cobey earned his best finish of the season, tying for 10th place at 10-over-par 226. He finished tied for 14th at the El Macero Classic (8-over-par 224), tied for 16th at the Itani Quality Homes Collegiate (2-under-par 211) and tied for 20th at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic (1-under-par 215). Cobey’s 6-over-par 222 put him tied for 26th at the Big West championship. Although Cobey played his final season, Castillo is set to return for his junior season.

The north Orange County pollution plume contains three volatile organic compounds often used for degreasing.

Polluted drinking water prompted visit from Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt. DANIEL INGA TYRAH MAJORS For the Daily Titan

Just two miles from Cal State Fullerton, dangerous chemicals have leaked from the soil into the groundwater that supplies up to 75 percent of the drinking water for 2.5 million people in 22 Orange County cities, including Fullerton and the CSUF campus, according to the Orange County Water District. The plume of pollution stretches from S. State College Boulevard and W. Commonwealth Avenue to Brookhurst Street and south of CA-91 into Anaheim. The pollution is so severe that the state recently asked the United States Environmental Protection Agency to step in, and it did. After the EPA’s Administrator Scott Pruitt visited

Orange County, the polluted 5-square-mile area was added to a list of 21 sites around the nation that need immediate cleanup. Known as the Orange County North Basin, the area could be listed as a Superfund cleanup site soon. Superfund is a federal program that allows the EPA to clean up pollution and force polluters to pay for the cleanup. The public should not be alarmed by the pollution, according to city and county officials. “Just because the EPA is here, doesn’t mean our water quality is bad. We just want to protect it before it gets bad,” said Hye Jin Lee, water system manager and assistant city engineer for Fullerton. “City of Fullerton will check the water quality of the wells monthly,” Lee said. The Orange County North Basin plume contains three volatile organic compounds often used for degreasing operations. The compounds in the groundwater led to the shutdown of five drinking water wells in Fullerton and Anaheim, according to a 2018

DALIA QUIROZ / DAILY TITAN

EPA study of the area. Volatile compound levels in the plume have exceeded 200 times the maximum contamination level allowed in drinking water. The hazardous chemicals, 1,1-DCE; TCE; and PCE, are known carcinogens, said Jeffrey Knott, professor of geological sciences at CSUF. “This is a significant amount, it has to be from some sort of industrial facilities, this isn’t from some guy in his backyard dumping his oil change from last month,” Knott said. TCE has been found in drinking water wells in Fullerton as recently as April, but in amounts that are below the maximum contamination levels set by the EPA, according to a document from the City of Fullerton. Orange County’s water is “very clean,” said William Hunt, director of special projects for the Orange County Water District. “When people buy bottled water, I’m amazed; it’s nowhere as good as the water here.” SEE SUPERFUND

Disney opposes movement to raise employee wages “

Advocates for workers in Anaheim resorts and parks get over 20,000 signatures.

I smile, I give them the magical dream, but there’s no dream for me when I clock out and get in my car.

“

BRANDON PHO News Editor

An unprecedented movement by labor unions to raise Disney park and resort worker wages, through city legislation, is facing opposition by the company itself. The Disneyland living wage ballot measure, which would raise the minimum wage in Anaheim to an eventual $18 an hour in 2022, aims to primarily benefit people who work at the Disney-owned parks and resorts. It was drafted by the Coalition of Resort Labor Unions. Petitioners for the measure have gained more than 20,000 signatures, and the initiative will be on the November ballot, according to a May 1 Facebook post by the Anaheim Resort Workers for a Living Wage, a campaign supporting the measure. If passed, the measure would apply the minimum wage requirement to “larger hospitality employers,” which the measure defines as hotels, motels, theme parks and adjacent restaurants

If passed, proposed wage hikes would apply to Anaheim resort hotels, motels and theme parks.

and retail stores. The coalition has been met with an entire website dedicated

to discrediting and denouncing the measure proposal, calling it a “job killer.” The website was

put up by a counter-coalition of city interests and associations, including Lucille Kring and Kris

Murray, Disneyland Resort and Anaheim city council members “While the proponents of this measure want you to believe that it targets only certain businesses, the reality is that it is drafted in a way that would allow it to expand to many more businesses in the resort district and eventually be expanded to all employers in Anaheim,” the Anaheim Job Killer website reads. On April 10, the Anaheim city council received and filed a report titled “Working for the Mouse,” which was presented by the coalition at the council meeting and serves as the foundation of the ballot measure. In the report, which was funded by the coalition, approximately 75 percent of surveyed employees said they do not earn enough money to cover basic expenses every month. SEE MOUSE

After graduation, students can choose between joining the Army National Guard, Army Reserve or becoming an active duty member.

Students in ROTC program are students first Students undergo regular courseload, plus hours of training and excercise. COLE GRAVES Staff Writer

The curriculum of the Reserve Officers Training Program, ROTC, is different than that of the average Cal State Fullerton students. In addition to regular class, ROTC students go through hours

of physical training, military science classes, a three-hour leadership laboratory once a week and on top of that, additional summer training. “They also have part-time jobs and some of them have families so it’s a very demanding schedule on top of all their other requirements on campus,” said Maj. Jesus Jose Cruz, head of the ROTC program and military science professor at CSUF. After graduation, students are commissioned as second

lieutenants in active duty, Army Reserve or Army National Guard. “I would recommend to any incoming freshman to do the program, especially if you have a military inclination ... You have the brotherhood or sisterhood within (the program),” said Logan Abraham, who is in his third year in the ROTC program. Abraham said he will go into the reserves after he graduates but hopes to incorporate a civilian firefighting career to his life.

“I’ve gotten more out of this program in the first year than I did in any of my classes. The application of leadership, as opposed to just learning in the class, that you do in the ROTC is beyond anything else I’ve done,” Abraha Not only are the principles of leadership and management heavily preached but academics play a key role in a cadets success. “My priority for the students, first and foremost, is their academics. It’s the biggest

contributing factor to whether or not you go on active duty,” Cruz said. Cadets have the choice to take part in additional programs, such as the Airborne and Air Assault schools. “The most immediate personal benefit is the leadership development that (cadets) acquire while they’re here. I think you’d be hard-pressed to find another program here on campus that maximizes on developing a students’ leadership potential,” Cruz said.

Superfund: Plume spans three Orange County cities CONTINUED FROM

The county tests drinking water wells annually, but increases that to quarterly if it detects volatile compounds. At least 46 active drinking water wells in the area are in danger because the contaminated plume is on the move, according to the EPA. “Groundwater movement is generally very slow. However, the contamination is believed to have existed for many decades in some places, which has given the contaminants time to spread,” said Nahal Mogharabi in an email. Mogharabi is an EPA’s Southern California spokeswoman. The Orange County Water District and the EPA have linked the use of volatile organic compounds to several companies that operated or continue to operate on properties in the area. A few date back to the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Some made military and aircraft parts, others did chromium plating and electroplating, one was making musical instruments. They all were using the volatile compounds. The EPA has named eight companies that may be contributing to the plume. The companies are: • Arnold Engineering/Universal Molding - 1551 E. Orangethorpe Ave., Fullerton • Autonetics/Raytheon - 310 E. Walnut Ave., Fullerton • CBS Fender - 500 S. Raymond Ave., Fullerton • Fullerton Manufacturing - 311 S. Highland Ave., Fullerton

• Khyber Foods - 1818 E. Rosslynn Fullerton • Northrop Y-19 - 1401 E. Orangethorpe Fullerton • Orange County Metal Processing - 1711 E. berly Ave., Fullerton • Vista Paint - 2020 E. Orangethorpe Fullerton

Ave.,

In 2004, the water district filed a lawsuit against potentially responsible corporations in order to get money for a large-scale cleanup. “We sued 18 companies. Nine of them have settled,” Hunt said. The water district has received about $22 million in settlements since first filing suit, according to the water district’s North Basin fact sheet. The control and cleanup of the contamination will likely take decades and cost more than $100 million, according to the water district. Working with the EPA and listing the Orange County North Basin as a Superfund site has benefits. “Once the site is listed the EPA has special powers, legal powers. For instance, if it’s a listed site they could use federal money to do the work and then collect it from polluters,” Hunt said. The EPA has invited the public to comment on the possible listing of the Orange County North Basin for the Superfund site. The comment period ends May 18, 2018. To comment go to www.regulations.gov. Wendy Chavez contributed to this report.

The report also claims it found that the average hourly wage for Disneyland Resort workers dropped 15 percent from 2000 to 2017, from $15.80 to $13.36. In an email statement to the Daily Titan, Disneyland Resort said: “The Disneyland Resort is proud to offer market competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, and training and education programs for our cast members to develop valuable skills necessary to open doors to future career opportunities.” Glynn Dana Shevlin, a Disneyland employee, said she makes $15.70, too much to qualify for the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments rent subsidy

“These people are invested in the company they work for. They love the company. They just don’t love the conditions in which they’re working,” Alatorre said. In the email statement, Disney said that when they surveyed employees, “the overwhelming majority say they are proud to work for the company.” “I smile, I give them the magical dream, but there’s no dream for me when I clock out and get in my car,” Shevlin said.

HUMANS OF CSUF After previous setbacks, Paul Yi is determined to earn his degree.

six-year hiatus. “Every time I would drop out, it would be different things, from DUIs and a lot of trouble with the law. I would be forced to drop out,” Yi said. Now, after making the decision to return to school, he is only two semesters away from graduation. Through all the difficult situations he’s been through, Yi has turned to his parents for the motivation he’s needed for success. “They’ve been through so much of my s---,” Yi said. “I want to redeem their actions of giving me that grace and extra chance, or however many chances they’ve constantly given to me.” He also attributes himself as his own driving force to becoming a better person. “Before, I didn’t care. I just didn’t know myself,” Yi said.

Stephanie Ruvalcaba uses her job at the bookstore to help students succeed. TREVA FLORES Staff Writer

Most Cal State Fullerton students only come to the campus bookstore twice a semester: once at the beginning of the semester to grab all their books, and then again at the end of the semester to return their rentals. CSUF alumna Stephanie Ruvalcaba is an exception. Ruvalcaba has worked in the Titan Shops’ text department for about four years. She helps

students find and return their books, while also solving any dilemmas that may happen in between those processes. “It’s easy to find your book, but it’s a little bit harder when you’re seeing multiple titles of the same book and multiple editions,” Ruvalcaba said. Customers sometimes become frustrated if they can’t find what they need, Ruvalcaba said. When that happens, Ruvalcaba takes a deep breath and tries to think of a solution. “They’re angry for a reason. I want to help them,” Ruvalcaba said. “If there’s nothing we can offer the students, I use practical knowledge that I have from when I was a student.”

Sitting outside of the Cal State Fullerton Titan Student Union with a Starbucks coffee in hand, 31-year-old English literature major Paul Yi reflected back on his story. A new chapter of his life is just beginning. In addition to being a full-time CSUF student, Yi is also a parttime building engineer assistant at the TSU, which he said is just a fancy title for a handyman. He does everything from painting walls to maintaining overall cleanliness. Yi is continuing his fourth attempt at completing college, most recently coming off of a

Like any job, Titan Shops has its ups and downs, but the importance of Ruvalcaba’s role plays a huge factor in student success on campus. “Textbooks are the backbone of school. I mean, you have your notes, but without the textbooks where would the teachers get the information? They read the textbooks too,” Ruvalcaba said. When Ruvalcaba isn’t working at Titan Shops she’s usually reading, writing or spending time with loved ones. When her family goes out, they like to watch movies or go to the bookstore. “We like books. Can you tell? So, I guess it’s fate I work here,” Ruvalcaba said.

Jaime Potter’s career path took a turn after she realized engineering wasn’t for her.

from the University of Akron in 2003. Two years later, she went on to earn a master’s degree in sports science and coaching at the same university. She originally entered college as an engineering major, but realized it was not the field for her. “My freshman year, I really hated chemistry and really was bad at (computer-aided design). I just didn’t get it,” Potter said. Potter said she didn’t even know what athletic training was when someone suggested the career to her, but she tried it out. Soon after, she spent an entire summer taking two prerequisite anatomy classes just to become elligble for the program that would change her life. Athletic trainers are essential to any athletic program. Whether it’s the pregame tape, doling out postgame compression boots or treating more intense game-time injuries, athletic trainers work hard to ensure the health and safety of athletes.

“Now that I’m older, I’m more invested in my future.” One thing that bridged Yi’s adolescence into who he is today is his love for skateboarding. Yi said he has been skating since he was 20 years old and through the sport, discovered the organic and raw energy that comes with stepping on a board. It has made him feel accepted and accomplished. “It’s not that I was good. I never got sponsored. It was more about this self-discovery and exploration because I was never athletic. I wasn’t smart,” Yi said. He’s not exactly sure where school will take him, but it’s another chapter to his life. “I don’t necessarily have a purpose or intent with my English degree,” Yi said. “I just know that this is something I want to do for myself.”

Jaime Potter took a chance when she applied for the assistant athletic training job at Cal State Fullerton. She was working at the University of Dayton in Ohio when the job listing opened up. After realizing she would have the opportunity to work under the prestigious Julie Max, assistant athletics director at CSUF, Potter applied. Potter got the job and has been with the program since 2013. “I kind of threw my name into a hat hoping that it would get picked, and I got pretty lucky,” Potter said. Potter received a Bachelor of Science degree in education with an emphasis in athletic training

SUMMER Classes run

Working with the women’s basketball teams, Potter said she likes to focus on injury prevention. With the risks of torn anterior cruciate ligaments, she wants to make sure the team stays safe and healthy before, during and after the season. When she’s not on campus or on the court, Potter said she likes to stay busy with activities such as hiking, weight lifting and cycling, which she only recently started doing. Potter said she signed up for the AIDS/LifeCycle ride, a seven-day cycling tour starting off in Santa Cruz and ending in Los Angeles. The 545-mile cycling trip is going to be a challenging adventure for Potter, but it’s something she’s prepared for. Between treating injuries and teaching students, her busy life seems to always have something new in store. “It’s fun. It’s exciting. It keeps me on my toes,” Potter said.

Lectures are an obsolete method of teaching Classrooms require a more engaging style to help students learn material.

SOPHIA ACEVEDO Opinion Editor

All it takes is a restless night and a semi-dim classroom to fall asleep to a professor who’s droning on and on in an 75-minute lecture. For some, it may take even less time. Lectures are a common feature of Cal State Fullerton courses, but they are old-fashioned and useless. If the point of college is to try and obtain a degree for a career, then students need to be able to learn through a more interactive and engaging method of teaching. Students can’t possibly memorize or pay attention to an hour of someone describing three hundred years of history or comprehend the impact of the Krebs cycle in cellular respiration. Even the most passionate and exciting speaker can only hold the attention of students for about 10 to 18 minutes, according to Salman Khan, creator of an online educational organization called Khan Academy, in an interview with NPR. Anyone who has sat down during a lecture knows the feeling of absolute dread when checking the time and seeing that only 15 minutes have passed. Sure, doodles or staring contests with the clock make the time go by faster, but by then the full course period isn’t being used the way it should be. Instead, people only get a decent understanding of the first part of the lecture, failing to grasp the minute details or invoke large concepts in real-life situations. Students in traditional lectures are 1.5 times more likely to fail their class, according to a 2014 study published by the National Academy of Sciences. Getting an A+ in every class isn’t going to happen for most college students, but

Most students can’t make it through more than 10 minutes before losing focus and engaging in distracting activities during lectures.

they should at least be able to understand the topic enough to pass a course. If a sizable group is failing, then evidently the information isn’t sticking and something needs to change. Courses are meant to prepare students, not bore them to death. Solely listening to a professor’s lecture isn’t how every student learns best. In fact, only 30 percent of people are auditory learners, according to a 2014 study from the Current Health Sciences Journal. Students learn more effectively through interactive techniques like discussions, questions and hands-on activities. While CSUF may offer some discussion courses,

long lectures may still find their way into the class period. Rather than regurgitating the past half hour of class through memorization, students should be be given a chance to think critically about the material. Classes don’t have to be the slowest 75 minutes of the entire day. Unproductive and boring classes can become engaging if professors are willing to change their mindset and take a more active approach to teaching. It definitely won’t be easy, and for auditoriums with more than 100 students, participation from everyone is unlikely. But there are still ways for professors to take

the dullest material and make it relevant and interesting. The wonderful creation of the internet can turn any stifling lecture into an interactive exercise. By using apps like Socrative, professors can give students online quizzes during lectures. This can be incredibly helpful in solidifying new concepts and sifting through large amounts of information. CSUF professors should rethink their next lesson plan if it involves an entire class period of dense information and zero interaction, because in the end all it’s going to do is drive students to a nice, peaceful sleep.

Titans look to extend their winning streak Fullerton aims to keep its first place standing against Riverside this weekend. MATTHEW MENDOZA Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton baseball will aim to build on its Big West conference lead and extend its six-game winning streak this weekend against UC Riverside.

The Titans (25-20 overall, 12-3 in conference) sit in first place of the conference and are coming off back-to-back conference sweeps against UC Irvine and UC Davis. Their only conference loss this season has been at the hands of UC Santa Barbara. The Highlanders (17-26 overall, 5-10 in conference) come to Fullerton following a road win at UC San Diego on Tuesday. The Highlanders are currently in last

place in the Big West and have lost their last three conferences contests. Strong pitching across the board contributes to CSUF’s success in the Big West. Its pitching staff’s 2.65 ERA is the lowest in conference play. Colton Eastman has been leading the Titans in the Big West for innings pitched (39.1) and ERA for starting pitchers (1.60). The Titans offense is not as

explosive compared to some of the other teams in the conference. Their 78 runs scored is the second-lowest run total in Big West play. However, the Titans plus-37 run differential is the best in the conference. Second baseman Hank LoForte has also played a role in the Titans success. He has reached base in his last 29 games and recorded a hit in 26

of his last 29 games. Highlander Cole Percival has led the team this year in innings pitched (69.1) and ERA (3.37). Offensively, Connor Cannon has been one of Highlanders’ top producers. He has hit eight home runs this season, putting him second in the Big West. CSUF returns to Goodwin Field after a seven-game road trip and will host UC Riverside starting Friday at 7:00 p.m.

Doing your best at work can be challenging if you’re not clear about your duties. You might receive conflicting instructions or, worse, a complete lack of direction. You’re afraid that you could waste precious time doing the wrong thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) Declaring a personal holiday would be the coolest thing you could do today, but it’s tough to walk away from your current obligations.

Your natural tendency to arrange your day in advance usually gives you the sense of structure you need to be at your best. However, you might be better off to leave your itinerary as open as possible today. But a lack of commitments is not about being lazy; your mission is as strong as ever and your determination is legendary.

Track and field enters Big West tournament CSUF will compete in the conference championship starting Friday at CSUN. LAUREN JENNINGS Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton track and field will continue the Big West championship this Friday at Cal State Northridge. Titans head coach John Elders said there will be different expectations heading into this year’s tournament because the men’s team won its first championship in team history last year. “Once you win one, you want to win another one and another one. But that’s a good thing. For the men, being the defending champs, this is going to be a very, very competitive meet,” Elders said. The Titans did not earn any

points in the decathlon last weekend. The UC Davis men’s team took a commanding lead in the tournament with 22 points. Long Beach State, which sits in second place, has only nine points. “We’re excited about what can happen. It could play out really good, we could win back-to-back championships on the men’s side or we could end fourth or fifth. You never know,” Elders said. UC Davis women’s team is also in the lead with 11 points and UC Santa Barbara coming in as a close second with 10 points. CSUF women’s team has returning pole vault champion Bryn Williamson and triple jump champion Laura Hamann competing this year, giving the Titans potential to succeed in those events. “The conference is very interesting because none of the

teams are super strong in all of the event areas. It’s hard to even pick who the favorite is going into the meet,” Elders said. Last year, Cal State Northridge beat out UC Davis by just half of a point, while CSUF finished in sixth place. A few Titans finished first in their field last year. Darion Zimmerman finished first in the 400-meter run as well as the 200-meter dash. Diego Courbis finished first in the 400-meter hurdles and the men’s team finished first in the 4x100-meter relay. “The key is who is going to perform at a high level and who’s going to get points where they didn’t expect it,” Elders said. The events will start at 9:00 a.m. at the Matador Track & Field Complex. This is the last tournament before the NCAA Division 1 West Preliminary Rounds.
