State claims CSU lacks safety oversight ‘Silk Road Unity Festival’ honors diversity

The chemical safety audit, which said the CSU system failed to ensure safety policies and processes systemwide, and observed four of the 23 CSU campuses.

The California State University Chancellor’s Office was berated by California State Auditor Elaine Howle in an April 24 review of the CSU’s oversight of the handling of hazardous materials on its campuses. “The Chancellor’s Office has not actively ensured that campuses have adequate policies and processes to protect the health and safety of those who work with or near hazardous materials,” said Howle in the audit. “Despite the fact that many of these deficiencies have remained unresolved for nearly two decades, the Chancellor’s Office has not taken the steps necessary to hold the campuses accountable.”

Of the CSU campuses, the audit reviewed Cal State Channel Islands, Cal State Sacramento, San Diego State and Sonoma State. It concluded that the Chancellor’s Office had not ensured that campuses consistently submit required annual reports regarding their health and safety programs, even though the reports are “critical to its oversight efforts.” Aditionally, Howle said some campuses even failed to “adequately” monitor key safety equipment, unspecified in the audit, to ensure it was in proper working condition, and that several campuses did not properly notify employees regarding rooms containing asbestos. While Cal State Fullerton was not named in the report, nor was it visited by anyone from the auditor’s office relating to this specific case, the university had its own chemical scare on Feb. 19 when a 24-year-old student received burns while conducting an experiment in an outdoor lab on the north side of the engineering building. The chemical combustion left a

white cloud of smoke wafting over two buildings on campus. “We are using the (audit’s) findings as a resource in ensuring that our policies and procedures are current,” said Jeff Cook, CSUF chief communications officer. The audit was requested by the California State University Employees Union and in an April 23 statement, the union laid out specific examples of what they claimed was a lack of systemwide oversight. “At CSU Sacramento, a 10-month delay occurs before the campus community is notified of lead in the drinking water. Staff are also ordered to clean up a hazardous chemical spill without proper protective gear. The employees involved in the cleanup subsequently report severe and catastrophic health problems,” said Khanh Weinberg, the union’s communications officer, in the statement. SEE HAZARD

The Smokers Club Festival lights up the Queen Mary Musicians like Wiz Khalifa and Kid Cudi headlined the two-day event. BRIAN ALVARADO Asst. Lifestyle Editor

Along the harbor that the Queen Mary calls home, thousands of concertgoers came together to lose themselves in the hip-hop atmosphere, chill vibes and tons of herbal greenery for a mini two-day getaway on Saturday and Sunday. As if Goldenvoice didn’t already have its hands full with two weeks of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, followed by Stagecoach this past weekend, the concert and music festival company did not ease up with The Smokers Club Festival in Long Beach. The Smokers Club Festival was by no means perfect but flourished on most aspects that a festivalgoer would expect. Looking at both days, the lineup was slightly top heavy with Wiz Khalifa, Schoolboy Q, Lil Skies and Lil Pump performing Saturday. Sunday still showcased Ty Dolla Sign, Kid Cudi and up-and-coming rapper Lil Xan, but taking an overall glance, it seems that Saturday’s names were more notable to music fans

Wiz Khalifa performed his entire ‘Kush & Orange Juice’ mixtape to close out the first day of the festival.

who may not be sunken in to the rap industry. There was a flurry of unexpected appearances to the lineup. Big Sean, a rapper hailing from Detroit, made a very brief pit stop during Khalifa’s set. MadeinTYO, best known for his hit tracks like “Uber

Everywhere” and “Skateboard P” jumped on Ty Dolla Sign’s performance, similar to Ty Dolla Sign’s show at The Observatory in Santa Ana in February. MadeinTYO also popped his head in for Mac Miller’s set. Trippie Redd, a singer and rapper who is one of the young stars gaining notoriety through social

media, didn’t show up to his set. As if event coordinators had seen this coming, Young Thug was the emergency replacement and filled Trippie Redd’s spot. Another glaring hole was the absence of Los Angeles-native Drakeo the Ruler. SEE RAP

The ancient Silk Road was a network of trade routes connecting people from Asia all the way to Europe, serving as a melting pot of culture, according to the Muckenthaler Cultural Center. The connecting roads were vital for trading and paved the way for shared languages, religion, philosophies and sciences among people from different walks of life. Cal State Fullerton students joined the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in honoring the historic route during the first annual “Silk Road Unity Festival.” The community was invited to share goods, services and ideas like many did long ago. Noah Sanchez, the project manager for M.J.N. Public Relations, a CSUF student-run public relations firm that helped promote the event said the multicultural festival was unique in its diversification of heritages present. “This festival is celebrating (different traditions, beliefs and food) by bringing all of those elements together,” Sanchez said. “I think that is a good thing today, to celebrate diversity and appreciate different cultures across the world.” The Brookhurst Community Center and Park in Anaheim was transformed into a blast from the past through performances, trade and exhibition rooms, a film festival, panels, family arts and food from the cultures along the Silk Road. The main stage, the East Room, held performances like Turkish guitar playing and Syrian wedding dancing. Girls of all ages from the Savithri Arts Academy adorned in vibrant colors and gold jewels performed Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi, ancient classical dances originating in India. The sound of Taiko drummers from the Shinnyo-en Buddhist temple released rhythmic sounds, giving life to the standard showroom. The trade room featured goods from Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, demonstrating what would have been observed on the silk and spice routes. Embroidered and brightly colored clothing hung along the room and handmade art from all over the Middle East was displayed in separated sections that represented their origins. Farrell Hirsch, the CEO of the Muckenthaler Cultural Center, said this event was especially important because it highlighted all of the cultures that may not get recognition otherwise. SEE HERITAGE

The audit was shared with CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White in its draft phase, to give White the opportunity to respond to the audit’s criticisms in a March 29 letter that would be included in the final report. “The CSU takes seriously the health and safety of all of our employees and students,” White said in his letter, which stated the CSU plans to conduct health and safety audits at all of the campuses beginning in 2019. While White, in his response, said he agreed with almost all of the report’s recommendations, he disputed the audit’s assertion that campus-level joint health and safety committees are required as part of the CSU Collective Bargaining Agreement with the State Employees Trades Council.

“The agreement allows for the establishment of these safety committees, but does not require them to meet regularly,” White said in his response. Howle, responding to White’s response in the audit, voiced the state’s disappointment that the Chancellor’s Office disagreed, and that White “apparently does not see the value in campuses having these committees.” Howle, in the audit, said that having these committees would allow the campuses to ensure they receive feedback from employee representatives on conditions

associated with the campuses’ work environments and use this feedback to more effectively recommend specific training based on recent incidents. “The state must hold the CSU accountable,” said Neil Jacklin, president of the CSU Employees Union, in the April 23 statement. “The lack of meaningful state oversight allows the CSU to ignore its own regulations and state mandates, contributes to wasteful spending and now threatens the health and safety of every CSU employee and student. This must not be allowed to continue.”

CSUF ranks 68th on Forbes’ Best Value Colleges list

The university rose 122 places after ranking 190th last year.

Last year, CSUF ranked No. 190 in Forbes America’s Best Value College list, but this year, Forbes eliminated the risk of dropout, reduced the school’s ranking value on the Top College List from 25 percent to 20 percent and added net price to improve how the list is formulated. The rankings were based on data pulled from the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard and PayScale, and focused on alumni income, the net price of tuition, average student debt, school quality, graduation rate and Pell Grants available to low-income students. Out of the 23 California State Universities, Forbes recognized

TRICIA LASHA Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton rose to rank 68 out of 300 higher education institutions in Forbes 2018 America’s Best Value Colleges List. CSUF currently has in-state annual tuition cost of $6,437 and a 59 percent above-average graduation rate with 69 percent of students earning an average of $44,500 after graduation, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

15 campuses. Local CSUs in Southern California included San Diego State University (No. 45) Cal State Long Beach (No. 53) Cal Poly Pomona (No. 66) CSU Northridge (No. 114) CSU Los Angeles (No. 158) and CSU San Bernardino (No. 207). The top two ranking universities are UCLA and UC Berkeley while Ivy League schools like Harvard (No. 6) and Columbia (No. 27). The purpose of the list, according to Forbes, is to help students get more out of their college investments by evaluating different schools under lenses like in-state price, debt and earnings, which could make it easier for students to make a choice.

A lack of knowledge about Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center has left students in the dark when it comes to receiving assistance with food insecurity and housing, said Bergenia Yu, president of Ability PR, a student-run public relations firm. Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center, located in McCarthy Hall 143, officially opened on Feb. 14 and provides students with hygiene products, housing assistance and food banks. Student usage of these services has increased only slightly. Yu said unawareness about this new center is a roadblock for students who aren’t already taking advantage of the free supplies. “It’s just really unfortunate because there are so many students on campus that I know of who are experiencing food and housing insecurity, but they don’t know what resources are available to them,” Yu said. In addition to the center being new to campus, the stigma attached to asking for help may be another reason why students aren’t going to the center, Yu said.

“But honestly that’s what this service is for. We’re here to help students whenever possible and the best thing about this service is that everything is anonymous,” Yu said. Students don’t have to give their name or campuswide ID to receive hygiene products at the center. Instead, they have to take a survey about how they heard about the service, if they would refer it to a friend and if the service helped them. The students who visit the center can grab any three hygiene products such as soap, razors or toothbrushes after responding to the survey, and if they need more they can come back the next day and repeat the process. Feminine products such as pads, tampons and lightly used business clothes are also provided for free at Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center. The goal of the program is to help students in need and put students first by raising awareness of the services that are provided, Yu said. “The most frequently asked question is where can I donate or how can I donate. Which is really empowering to see that even though the students who don’t need these services that we’re offering are at least willing to give us a helping hand,” Yu said.

Heritage: CSUF students promote cultural event CONTINUED FROM

“A lot of people know Chinese culture, Indian or some of the other larger cultures, but you might not know the Azerbaijani culture, or Bangladeshi culture. We’re celebrating everything, giving voices to people whose voices aren’t always heard,” Hirsch said. The festival included family arts activities where children could create art that was commonly found on the Silk Road, like Indian elephant prints and plum blossoms painted with branch chinese brushes. Festivalgoers were able to go from live performances to the indoor film festival, which included films like “The Chinese Silk Road” and “Journey to Mecca (Ibn Battuta).” Guests were also invited to listen to shared ideas with the Silk Road Interfaith Unity Panel

where religious beliefs were given space to intersect. “We live in a world where people like to point out differences and they like to point them out as a way of separation. I think when you acknowledge differences and wipe away ignorance with a little bit of knowledge, you end up with a better community,” Farrell said. Jose Moreno, mayor pro tem for the City of Anaheim and associate professor of Latino education and policy at Cal State Long Beach in Chicano and Latino Studies, said the event is an opportunity for the community to exchange cultural differences and beliefs. “Culture is especially important, that’s what brings us together,” Moreno said. “It’s especially essential during this rhetorical time that we’re in where there is so much vitriol.”

Rap: Festival setup overcomes venue size

CONTINUED FROM

Drakeo was arrested in March after being charged with “first-degree murder, attempted murder and several counts of conspiracy to commit murder” according to hip-hop magazine XXL. The venue chosen for the festival was in an allocated area beside the Queen Mary ship. It was small enough for friends to navigate and locate one another and just big enough to where it wasn’t so congested people were shoulder to shoulder at all times (except for those in the mosh pit, of course, then that’s a different story.) The festival featured two stages: the main stage (Stick.E.Vape) and the small stage (Super Clinik). Both stages were connected by a tunnel and a bridge, giving people two different access points and decreasing foot traffic. The main stage looked over dead grass and dirt, similar to what festival stages normally

look like, with the photo pit running on the front borders and splitting down the middle, dividing the crowd into two sections. The small stage was laid out on top of what seemed like a parking lot. The Stick.E.Vape stage served the likes of Khalifa, Schoolboy Q, Kid Cudi and Dezzy Hollow while the Super Clinik stage featured Joyner Lucas, Earl Sweatshirt, Dom Kennedy and Rich the Kid to name a few. With any festival, traffic is unavoidable — whether it’s by car or on foot. Rather than have patrons park at the Queen Mary, the festival had concertgoers park off-site at different locations including the parking garage that serves the Governor George Duekmejian Courthouse, offering free shuttle services to and from the venue. Getting to the festival was a breeze, only taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes to arrive. Making the trip back to the courthouse was a whole different story, but understandable when

there are thousands of people heading the same direction. The lines to the shuttles after the festival ended were extensive and took roughly 30 to 35 minutes to reach the courthouse. For what it was, it seemed like event coordinators and law enforcement had it handled, maximizing the efficiency of traffic to and from the venue. Although the venue and how it was set up played a huge factor to the enjoyment of all the festivities. Long lines were not as much of a factor as it would be at Coachella, of course, but lines to food and drinks, bathrooms and tap water were minimal. The lineup could have been a bit more balanced out between both days, but even then, the most anticipated performances brought the energy to the fans in attendance. The well-thought-out planning of The Smokers Club Festival is an awesome experience for lovers of rap and hip-hop and a must-see for those looking for a relaxed setting combined with musical talent.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: DEZZY HOLLOW The rapper opened up on the main stage of The Smokers Club Festival on Sunday and talked about ‘EBT Boi,’ his musical influences and upcoming projects. BRIAN ALVARADO Asst. Lifestyle Editor

Independent up-and-coming rapper Dezzy Hollow took the main stage at The Smokers Club Festival on Sunday and caught up with the Daily Titan. Best known for his song “EBT Boi,” which has over two million views on YouTube, the artist talked about the inspiration that came while writing it. Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT), formerly known as food stamps, is a way for recipients who are less fortunate to purchase food products using money allocated from public assistance. “A lot my homeboys are on EBT, it’s more so a lifestyle. I wanted to paint a picture of a boy that’s on the verge of falling off of a good path that he’s starting to pick up, but he’s surrounded by a really bad environment,” Hollow said. Starting to take his career seriously during his senior year in high school after selling mixtapes out of his book bag, Hollow molded his sound after the music culture prominent on the West Coast. “I think my style has been so transformed from the beginning of how I started to now, but for the most part, I listen to a lot of DJ Quik and a lot of West Coast-gangster rap. That was just everything, the lifestyle,” Hollow said. Hollow, a native of Oceanside, also talked about how his hometown has influenced his perspective and the content of his music. “One thing I could say is that Oceanside has a lot of culture, so it’s very diverse where I come from. I’m used to seeing all point of views and all types of races and different ideas,” Hollow said. Hollow is also wrapping up a project called “Oceanside,” which will feature 17 to 18 tracks.

While a DNA database provided valuable information to the Golden State Killer case, it may be problematic in other instances like the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

JENNIFER GARCIA / DAILY TITAN

Genetics databases could pose security risks Sharing DNA publicly proves an ethical issue about privacy.

BRIGGETTA PIERROT Opinion Editor

Last Tuesday, an arrest was made in the decades-long hunt for the Golden State Killer who’d been linked to at least 45 rapes, 12 murders and more than 120 residential burglaries between 1976 and 1986. Though the case is monumental in both the amount of time the serial killer went without conviction and the

wake of people affected, a glaring detail stands out in how police found the suspect. Joseph James DeAngelo, a 72-year-old retired police officer, was arrested on April 24 after authorities turned to an open-source genetic database, GEDmatch, and found a familial match to DNA evidence collected during the investigation. With the rise in popularity of at-home DNA testing kits, like 23andMe and AncestryDNA, and seemingly increasing the willingness to bare all to the public, there is a lack of concern over privacy issues. Consumers need to be aware of security risks associated with adding their DNA to lists that may become available to the public. In the case of the Golden State Killer, the public DNA database provided valuable information, but it presents an ethical problem that should lead any person considering genealogical searches to

be wary of its consequences. On one hand, the public DNA database led to the arrest of a man who had a statewide impact. On the other hand, if a family member were to upload genetic information to a database without informing the rest of their family, it might be passed around in unintended, yet-to-be-seen harmful ways. GEDmatch states the information uploaded to the site is public because sharing information is essential to DNA and genealogical research. While it’s hard to feel sorry for people who complain about privacy issues when the rules of participating are often clearly listed in terms of use or privacy policies, the bigger issue is that people often don’t consider or care about the long term or more widespread ramifications of participating in activities that have the potential to reveal identities. People have already become

comfortable with companies like Apple, which have access to fingerprints and facial recognition, so how long will it be until the public is OK with their DNA being on full display for state and federal officials to access? Overall, this case provides greater context to issues of privacy in America as a whole. This investigative success comes shortly after incidents like the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the Equifax data breach, putting into question companies’ ability to protect individuals’ private information. Not only have companies failed to keep citizens’ information under control, but America has also increasingly seen rollbacks on privacy policies under the Trump administration. At the beginning of his presidency last year, President Donald Trump signed a bill, repealing internet privacy laws put in place by the Federal Communications

Committee, which allowed users to have greater control over data collected by their internet service provider. But the question of privacy becomes even more complex when considering social media and the ever-enticing siren call of sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to “share” aspects of everyday life. There are many features of technology that can be used against others — from GPS tracking to facial recognition — turning anyone into an off-thegrid, conspiracy-wielding hermit, but ultimately the responsibility to weigh the pros and cons of any new technological advance lies in the hands of consumers. If people are OK with sharing their DNA publicly to find longlost relatives, then they also have to be OK with the fact that their DNA might get them or someone related to them in trouble somewhere down the line.

Men’s golf finishes round two tied for first place CSUF managed to stay in first place as it heads into the final round.

YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s golf finished the second round of the Big West championship tied for first place with UC Irvine at 7-under-par 569. The Titans put together their best performance of the season with only one round to go at the 18-hole Eisenhower (Ike) Course at the Industry Hills Golf Club. Redshirt senior Martin Manalo led the way once again for the Titans, tied for first at 5-under-par 139, moving up two places from the first round. Manalo scored 2-under-par 70 on Monday, despite scoring even par in holes 9 through 18. Sophomore Derek Castillo moved up seven places, securing a three-way tie for sixth at 2-under-par 142 after finishing 2-under-par 70 in the second round.

Manalo and Castillo were the only Titans to improve during the second round of the tournament, after Matt Wilson, Mark Cobey and Dalton Daniel all slipped in the standings. Manalo, Castillo and Cobey have recorded nine birdies since the start of the tournament, with CSUF standing in second place overall with 39 birdies. The Titans finishing 1-under-par in 39 of their pars earned the team the top spot for round one and round two of the tournament. In the last three appearances in the Big West championship, the Titans finished below fifth place. However, things seem to be looking up for CSUF this year. With one round left in the tournament, the Titans have to manage another first place standing to advance to one of the six regional tournaments in the NCAA. CSUF will wrap up the Big West championship and begin the battle for first place starting at 7:55 a.m. today.

The last time the Titans claimed the Big West Championship title was in 2014.

Cal State Fullerton softball will play its first midweek game since March 21 as it hosts USA Today’s No. 1 UCLA. The Titans (29-20) ride an eight-game winning streak into their face off with the Bruins (44-3), who have a 10-game winning streak of their own. Both teams are in first place of their conferences. “I think it will be really good to go into the game with a lot of confidence,” infielder Mikaela Francis said. “It will also be a great test for us ... to see how we match up against teams of higher rankings when we get to postseason.” In Big West conference play, CSUF leads in runs, hits and RBIs. Center fielder Ari Williams tops the leaderboards for runs in the conference (14). Designated player Deshea Hill’s 13 RBIs trail only four behind Long Beach State’s Taylor Rowland.

Trish Parks’ 28 strikeouts leaves her tied for fourth-most among pitchers. As a team, UCLA holds the second-highest batting average in the nation (.352). Individually, outfielder Aaliyah Jordan ranks fourth nationally for batting average (.475), and leads the Pac-12 Conference in hits and RBIs with 66 and 58, respectively. Titans Head Coach Kelly Ford does not plan on changing the team’s approach, despite facing one of the most talented rosters in the nation. “We’re going to keep the same game plan: focus on the first pitch, play our game and stay in rhythm. Tuesday doesn’t make or break anything. It’s another opportunity to compete and get better and that’s what we’re looking at it as,” Ford said. Tuesday’s game is slated to start at 6:00 p.m. at Anderson Family Field.
