He is really good at relating to people, and is able to make a good impression on the community. That is pretty important since the climate for law enforcement is so critical.

“

Raised by a father in the military and a mother in social work, Raymund Aguirre knew he wanted to do something similar to his parents. Aguirre said he came to the realization that he wanted to be in law enforcement, seeing it as a combination of the professions of his parents, who he considered heroes. He also cites the ‘70s cop TV series “Adam-12,” set in Los Angeles, as another inspiration. “They dealt with regular people and regular problems. That’s what policing is all about, it’s helping the community find solutions for some of their problems … and of course bringing criminals to jail,” Aguirre said. While Aguirre said he knew that being the chief of Cal State Fullerton University Police was a job that he could do, he said he wasn’t exactly sure the university would call back when he applied. After four months, he received a call for an interview that would eventually allow him to continue his career in higher education law enforcement, his self-proclaimed niche. In February it was announced Aguirre would replace Dennis DeMaio as police chief, and he officially started March 1. Aguirre’s desire for connecting with people is something that his son, Matthew Aguirre, brings up often. “He is really good at relating to people, and is able to make a good impression on the community. That is pretty important since the climate for law enforcement is so critical,” Matthew Aguirre said. Raymund Aguirre’s career in law enforcement started in the Palo Alto Police Department. About a year later, he moved to the Foothill-De Anza College District Police Department in Los Altos Hills.

RAYMUND AGUIRRE University Police chief He said policing in a college setting yields more of a direct connection to the public than policing in a city department,

because the cities typically have a larger number of residents and high-risk calls. Raymund Aguirre has since

worked at several different college police departments. Before he took the position at CSUF he was the chief of the San Diego Community College District Police. His former colleague at the department, Lt. Gilberton Torres, said Raymund Aguirre would occasionally take care of work on the field. SEE BADGE

Moon Cat Cafe connects felines with families

A renovated van gives people a chance to enjoy coffee and dessert while interacting with furry friends. PRISCILLA CARCIDO Staff Writer

Stepping into a large van with the promise of some coffee and cats might sound unusual at first, but walk into the Moon Cat Cafe and discover the little faces peering up with curiosity, making the risk worthwhile. For a $12 entrance fee, visitors can enjoy a drink, a pastry and spend time with cuddly creatures in the first mobile cat cafe, according to its website. Janet Pao founded the Moon Cat Cafe over a year ago. In her renovated van, she travels to different locations throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties to provide an environment for people to bask in kitty glory. With a lack of cat parks and cat beaches, Pao said cat cafes widen the options for people to hang out with their feline friends. “For cats, options are a lot more limited, so that’s why I believe cat cafes have become more popular. Other than a shelter or a foster home, there’s really not a lot of public places that you get to interact and meet adoptable cats,” Pao said. She partners with several nonprofit rescue shelters around L.A. and Orange counties like Milo’s Sanctuary and Beach City Kitties to increase awareness about the shelters’ mission and also display adoptable cats. While there are traditional brick-and-mortar cat cafes, having a cat cafe on wheels gives Pao a unique opportunity to reach more people. “It allows me to really partner with a lot of different communities and different rescues instead of just one. I get to bring the cat cafe experience directly to people,” Pao said. At the first annual City of Brea Pet Expo 2018 last Saturday, the Moon Cat Cafe FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

As country music plays in between innings at Anderson Family Field, freshman pitcher Taylor Dockins line dances outside of the Cal State Fullerton softball dugout while she awaits to return to her spot in the lineup. However, most wouldn’t guess Dockins is a freshman based on her performance in the pitcher’s circle. Her coaches said she approaches the game like a senior returning back to the field, hungry for a win. “We always try to find those kids that you don’t need to teach much, you just fine tune them. You couldn’t ask for a better athlete like Taylor,” said Caitlin Grimes, Titans volunteer assistant coach. Dockins is a well-known, decorated athlete throughout the softball community. In her four years of high school, she was a twotime Big 8 All-League athlete and MVP. In her senior year alone, Dockins was named MaxPreps Player of the Year, California Gatorade Player of the Year, Gatorade National Softball Player of the Year, All-American Player of the Year and So-Cal Player of the Year. “Spend a day sitting there talking to her to see how her mind works and how she thinks, you’ll understand why she had success,” said Jorge Araujo, Titans Associate Head Coach However, she became an inspiration to the softball community, nationwide, because of her fierce battle with cancer. “They always say I’m an inspiration, but really I’m only living my life and making the best out of it,” Dockins said. During the summer of 2016, fatigue and severe pain overcame Dockins during a softball tournament. She was rushed to the hospital, where blood tests revealed that her liver was the cause of her pain. A CAT scan uncovered a tumor in her liver, which was quickly removed. Dockins’ doctors suggested that she put her glove to rest, but her competitive nature and positivity gave her the endurance to be cleared in time for the start of her senior season at Norco High School. “(The doctors) told me I wouldn’t see the softball field for a year, and I proved them wrong and was back on the field in two months,” Dockins said. After she joined the Titans roster in 2017, doctors found new spots on her lungs, and with fear of it spreading, Dockins began chemotherapy and set dates for ablation. But that didn’t stop her from staying active on Anderson Family Field. Between Dockins’ trips from the hospital to the field, Titans catcher and long-time friend Julia Valenzuela said Dockins surprises her teammates on a regular basis. “I even had asked her ‘Tay, how are you feeling?’ and she said, ‘I’m doing good. I think running some foul poles would help me feel better,’” Valenzuela said. SEE IMPACT

Campus dining earns A health ratings from university

Inspections are done by university environmental health officers.

Coffee vending machines on campus

MATTHEW MENDOZA Staff Writer

Campus vending machines are inspected once a year by Cal State Fullerton safety and health officers. On Aug. 16, 2017, the eight coffee and food vending machines received A grades. Grades are assigned based on point total for the inspection. The machines are marked down on the inspection report if their interiors and exteriors are not sanitary and clean. No machines lost points for lack of cleanliness. However, on April 19 and May 3, 2018, Daily Titan reporters examined six coffee machines and found the dispensing areas to be unclean, with residue on the walls of the machine and dispense area. Tony Lynch, director of campus dining, said the machines are cleaned when they are being serviced, depending on use, throughout the week by the vending providers. “Coffee spills happen all the time. A person can spill it, it just needs to be cleaned up right away. It’s not necessarily the result of it not being cleaned, it probably happened that day or the day before,” Lynch said. CSUF food facility inspection reports On a Feb. 2 inspection at the Starbucks inside the Titan Student Union, Cal State Fullerton environmental health officer Justine Baldacci went through the usual rounds of checking food storage, toxic-substance storage, employee hygiene, overall cleanliness of the location and food temperatures. During the inspection, the chicken sandwiches measured at 45 degrees Fahrenheit, which is above the proper cooling temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit, due to sunlight beaming through the windows of the TSU directly onto the food. Two points were lost for the

Each of the 12 campus restaurants, which includes the Gastronome, Starbucks, Carl’s Jr., LH Express, Nutwood Cafe and TSU food court received an A on their most recent inspections between December and March. “To get an A, it’s one of those things where it’s like studying; you just have to be really disciplined and stay on top of it,” said

Lynch. “It’s really a combined effort of the manager, supervisors and students.” Three restaurants received perfect scores on their most recent February inspections: Baja Fresh, Juice It Up! in the TSU and LH Express. LH Express received a hot water violation but it was corrected on site and no points were deducted. Fresh Kitchen and the Starbucks in Mihaylo Hall also received the lowest points of campus restaurants with a grade of 93 points during their recent

OC Register cutbacks affect local theatres

Cutbacks are latest in many by owner Digital First Media across publications nationwide. BRANDON ANGEL Asst. Copy Editor

Several small Orange County theaters were informed in April that the Orange County Register will no longer be reviewing their shows due to staff layoffs. For venues like the Maverick Theater in Downtown Fullerton, the decision means its owner and founder, Brian Newell, will now take on a larger responsibility to inform the public about the production of his theater’s shows. Freelance writer Eric Marchese had been covering small theaters across OC for over 20 years. Newell said Marchese informed him as well as the STAGEStheatre in Fullerton and the Chance Theater in Anaheim of looming OC Register cutbacks. “He had kind of told us about a year or two ago that things were changing dramatically at the newspaper, and that it’s getting smaller and they’re cutting staff,” Newell said. The Southern California News Group, which includes the Orange County Register and Los Angeles Daily News, started layoffs in January. The news group’s parent company, Digital First Media, is owned by Alden Global Capital, a New York hedge fund. The OC Register has a circulation of 180,000 on Sunday and 80,000 for its Tuesday through Friday circulation, according to a 2017 report by the Alliance for Audited Media. Newell said he doesn’t know what to expect going forward for his business, as a result of the cutbacks. “I’m in uncharted territory. All those patrons are here primarily because they probably read a review in the Register at some point, so the existence of the Maverick definitely owes a lot, if not all, of

its patronage to the publication,” Newell said. Marchese, who started freelancing for the OC Register nearly 40 years ago, said in an email that it wasn’t his or his editor’s decision to stop reviewing smaller theaters in OC, but that it was the decision of Alden Global Capital. “It’s a huge shame, and a huge loss to the community and those who love theater,” Marchese said in an email. “(Alden Global Capital) has been siphoning off millions of dollars in newspaper profits to pay off its bad investments. That has created a lack of resources for the Register and dozens of other papers owned by Digital First Media, forcing them to cut back on staffing and coverage.” The OC Register’s decision to forego reviewing theaters by Digital First Media, the nation’s second-largest newspaper chain, comes amid a spate of cutbacks in Digital First Media-owned newsrooms such as the Denver Post.

Last week, Digital First Media’s censorship of an editorial by the Denver Post, criticizing Alden Global Capital, led to the resignation of editorial editor Chuck Plunkett, according to the Columbia Journalism Review. The cuts are not only affecting journalism as a whole, but are also negatively affecting small businesses like Newell’s. “This is a community theater. It survives from its ticket cost. If we had the advertising budget we would be advertising. We don’t. That’s why the press is such a critical part of our existence,” Newell said. While Newell said he understands that older community members may have extra money to spend at the theater, college students don’t. To attract a younger audience, he offers college students $10 tickets for his shows and gears his productions toward the demographic. “The visual and performing arts impact the culture and fabric of Orange County, and are vital to the community’s sense of identity and quality of life. While we are

limited in the number of performances our newsroom can cover across the county, our commitment to covering the arts remains

intact,” said Eric Morgan, director of communications at the Southern California News Group, in an email.

Raymund Aguirre oversees 30 University Police officers.

Badge: Aguirre hopes to build trust with CSUF community CONTINUED FROM

Torres said it’s rare for a chief to take over in a case that involves fieldwork, but Raymund Aguirre “would not have his officers do anything he wouldn’t do.” Raymund Aguirre describes the chief of police position as a manager-type job. He said his day typically consists of meetings with faculty to address concerns, as well as with his own staff to inform them about those expressed concerns. In addition to meetings, Raymund Aguirre said part of the job is ensuring all divisions within the department are able to work well with each other. “It’s not just the police that you see in uniform out there; that’s just one part of our operations. We have dispatchers and office people who do administrative work,” Raymund Aguirre said. What attracted Raymund Aguirre the most to CSUF, in comparison to other college campuses, is the diversity of the faculty and students, and the leadership of CSUF President Fram Virjee.

CHAPMAN.EDU/MSA ONE UNVERSITY DRIVE, ORANGE, CA 92866

“President Virjee is very embracing and professional and expects all of us to be the same way,” Raymund Aguirre said. Because Raymund Aguirre is still new to the university, he said he is in the observing phase of his job, hoping to integrate some of the programs that he helped carry out at the previous colleges he worked at, like the training plan he created for the San Diego Community College District Police Department, which created benchmarks for the training standards for sworn and non-sworn personnel. Raymund Aguirre said he also wants to increase training for officers and the campus community in the case of an active-shooter situation. He also wants to have an open dialogue between the police and the community. “That is one thing that is lacking,” Raymund Aguirre “Some FULLERTON: said. 215 N.

Meow: Mobile cat cafe provides pastries to Brea Cheese jumped on tables, stared out windows and, at one point, made a mess of the cat litter. She would often sit by the glass door and observe visitors, preparing for more attention. Pao guessed that she was a mix between a tabby and a calico, but her antics were what made her completely adorable. It became heartbreakingly obvious why cat cafes are so effective in the adoption process: Cheese climbed on laps and played with customers, making it hard to fight the urge to sign adoption papers right then and there. The cafe is also perfect for people who want to spend some time with animals, Pao said. Unable to have pets of their own, Pao said a father brought his daughter in just to play with the cats, giving her a little taste of having a pet.

Other than a shelter or a foster home, there’s really not a lot of public places that you get to interact and meet adoptable cats. JANET PAO Moon Cat Cafe founder

Julie and Eugene Smith have never adopted a cat from the Moon Cat Cafe, but they said they proudly support Pao’s mission. They have been visiting the mobile cafe since its first days in December 2016, stopping in when Pao visits Orange County. Having three rescue cats of their own, Julie and Eugene know how rewarding it is to give these cats permanent homes. The couple even joked they are terrible foster parents because they eventually keeping the cats instead. “Your heart goes out to them because they’ve struggled and suffered, so we always try to keep our eyes out for rescue cats,” Eugene said. Growing up without any pets of her own never stopped Pao’s mission for Moon Cat Cafe: to inform people about local pet rescues while giving them something to sip on. The cats are just a bonus. “You can come in and you can talk to someone that’s an advocate for cats. I think it’s amazing,” Julie said.

Cosby faces appropriate consequences The result of his case wasn’t because of the #MeToo movement.

TREVA FLORES staff writer

America’s former favorite TV dad, Bill Cosby, wasn’t convicted on three accounts of assault because of the #MeToo movement. He was convicted by a jury after it found him guilty of drugging an employee from Temple University, Andrea Constand, who he had mentored and then engaged in nonconsensual sexual acts. The recent conviction was no surprise since over 50 women had previously accused Cosby of sexual misconduct. However, his wife Camille Cosby disagrees completely. Camille Cosby said she believes the increased biased media coverage and mob justice contributed to an unfair trial, despite the fact Bill Cosby admitted to philanderous behavior and coercing women into sexual situations. Although the trial proved to be difficult, as a majority of cases with accusations of sexual assault are, a mob mentality had nothing to do with it. Cases involving high profile people like celebrities or politicians can be very difficult for the plaintiff to win because they are usually based on he said, she said arguments rather than conclusive evidence. The jury generally believes the plaintiff is telling the truth and that the defendant had poor intent.

AMANDA TRAN / DAILY TITAN

The Bill Cosby case is monumental in the fact that it is one of the first few major convictions involving sexual misconduct since the #MeToo movement gained traction. Another major conviction that followed the movement was former U.S. Olympics gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar, whose abuse was horrifyingly widespread. In 2005, Bill Cosby admitted during a deposition testimony to obtaining quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women to have sex. Quaaludes are a sleep-inducing drug that have been banned in the U.S. since 1984. Having the intent to drug women, young women specifically, shows malicious intent on Bill

Cosby’s behalf. If he had not admitted this, it would have been a lot harder for the women to prove their stories. Although some may believe the women who accused Bill Cosby of assault were doing so for attention, this undermines the circumstances of the case. First of all, over 50 women made accusations against Bill Cosby, most of whom did not testify in the trial. Only five women were allowed to testify in the trial. Second of all, how many women’s names do people actually remember? Nobody really paid attention to the names, which shows they weren’t looking for attention. Coming forward with sexual

assault cases has always been a hard journey and most women avoid reporting assault out of fear of receiving negative attention. From 2005 to 2010, 20 percent of survivors in the U.S. did not report sexual assault out of fear of retaliation, while 13 percent believed the police would not do anything to help, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. This case is a step forward for survivors of sexual assault to prove that justice can be achieved. The process may be long and taxing, but it only takes one person coming forward to bring down a repetitive cycle of abuse. Although the #MeToo movement has progressively provided

an outlet for survivors of sexual abuse to speak out, it is not the cause of Bill Cosby’s reputational demise. In fact, it’s hard to believe that America’s dad could be charged for such heinous crimes, but because so many women did open up about their experiences with Bill Cosby, it’s clear that this wasn’t just one misunderstanding, it was a malicious pattern to speak out, it is not the cause of Bill Cosby’s demise. In fact, it’s hard to believe that America’s dad could be charged for such heinous crimes, but because so many women did open up about their experiences with Bill Cosby, it’s clear that this wasn’t just one misunderstanding.

Impact: An inspiration both on and off the field 1

And for Dockins, this motivation to return to train makes the rest of the Titans view every other discomfort as miniscule. “For them to see what I go through and now I’m back in a week, that kind of pushes them to be like ‘Maybe our little soreness or when we feel a little something, maybe it’s not a big deal,’” Dockins said. Though this part of her life has been shared with the masses, her athletic ability, bubbly personality and mental toughness are the first things anyone will notice after an encounter with Dockins. The self-motivated athlete was a familiar face to Araujo as he coached her on a travel ball team when she was 10 years old. He described her as “tenacious” and “gritty,” words that don’t typically come to mind when thinking about a child. Further down the road, the CSUF coaching staff saw her play in a recruiting showcase in Colorado, which surprised Araujo. Her performance during the showcase stunned the coaches and gave her the opportunity to continue her softball career at Cal State Fullerton. Kelly Ford, Titans head coach, saw the accuracy in Dockins pitching, which led to her recruitment. “She’s a full package,” Ford said. “We had 12 pitchers lined up across the field and as a coach, you walk through and watch a couple pitches and then you get to Taylor’s like ‘Woah, did you see that? Did that pitch come out of that kid?’” Dockins’ health has always been the focal point to the coaching staff. They tried to keep her as healthy as possible, but during the fall, limiting her in practice and cutting her conditioning short didn’t stop Dockins’ drive. “If she had 50 pitches, then she made sure she threw 50, maybe 51 pitches just to make sure she got them in,” Caitlin Grimes said. “She did above and beyond of what she was allowed to do. She pushed it to the limit and that is what she does.”

Taylor Dockins has played in 17 games this season. Her appearance on Feb. 22 served as the 57th Titan in team history to pitch a no-hitter.

In her fourth start of the season, Dockins threw a no-hitter against University of San Diego on Feb. 22, becoming the 57th Titan in team history to do so. With 17 appearances during her freshman year, she’s tossed seven complete games and holds a 7-4 record, including one save. Dockins has a 3.31 ERA with 27 strikeouts and only one error in her 78.1 innings pitched. “She looks so locked-in constantly and I think that is one of the amazing traits that she has. She is always so focused,” Valenzuela said. When Dockins makes a mistake, whether it is on the field or during practice, it doesn’t linger in her mind. She already knows what she needs to tweak and fixes it instantly. “The precision that she has and being able to listen, take it in and do it. I don’t need to say a lot to her,” said Titans pitching coach Dallas Escobedo. “You can’t

She has helped our team become relentless because that is one of her main characteristics.

CAITLIN GRIMES Titans volunteer assistant coach coach what she has.” All season long, the Titans have rallied around the motto “one pitch at a time.” Seeing how Dockins truly values every pitch in the circle vividly portrays the focus from the Titans and inspires them to continue to dominate the Big West conference, where they hold a 16-2 record. “When you come out to watch her pitch, you get this feeling that we want to win and want to do it with every single pitch,” said pitcher Sophie Frost. “That is one of the things she does best, she focuses on one pitch at a time. It

carries over to all of us.” But her pitching isn’t the only thing motivating the team, they also said Dockins’ contagious positivity spreads throughout every member on the squad. “Taylor just brings us all together. She brought this new fire and new presence to the field,” said pitcher Kenzie Grimes. The team created a leadership council to help continue the growth of the bond. It consisted of two seniors, a junior and two sophomores. However, when it came time to insert a freshman leader, Ford said the team unanimously voted Dockins into the council without a doubt that she belonged with the other head leaders. “Everybody knows when she has something to say, it’s important,” said right fielder Brooke Clemetson. “There was no doubt in our minds that she would step in and take on the role because that is the type of leader she is.”

Araujo recalls a moment in between a doubleheader where the athletes were giving autographs to young fans. While everyone else cleared out to get ready for the next game, Dockins was still in the stands, signing autographs and talking to the athletes. He said he believes that moment is a quintessential depiction of Dockins’ character. “She will give her all, whether it is playing or whatever it might be. Just signing autographs, she gave her all and to me that shows who she is,” Araujo said. Those who have met the tenacious 19-year-old agree that after one conversation with her, their outlook on life completely changes, and that’s what makes Dockins who she is. “She has helped our team become relentless because that is one of her main characteristics,” Caitlin Grimes said. “It doesn’t matter what is coming her way, she is going to face it head-on.”
