Students struggle to find on-campus prayer spots

Plans are underway for a designated interfaith prayer space in the Pollak Library. JENNIFER GARCIA Staff Writer

Looking for a place to pray on campus is a daily struggle for Maisune Elhaija, a Muslim graduate student. “It was really difficult. I’ve literally prayed in my car a lot,” Elhaija said. “I’ve had friends tell me they’ve done the same thing before.” Common tradition in Islam is to pray five to six times a day. Prayer can be done from anywhere, but requires little distraction and can be more easily practiced in a quiet place. While there is a meditation room located on the upper level of the Titan Student Union, Elhaija said that given the size of its space and location, the room isn’t as accessible for all students. “If I’m doing my classes at College Park, I am not going to walk that far so I can pray for five minutes and then come back,” Elhaija said. Anthony Davis, interim associate dean of the library, said he was in Pollak Library one day when he noticed students wandering near the Graduate Student Success Center. Davis said that when he asked if he could help the students, they told him “We’re just looking for a place to pray.” Prior to his March firing, Clem Guthro, former Cal State Fullerton library dean, had stated the need for a designated safe space for students of all religions and faiths in a revised Libraries of the Future Plan, which is currently underway to bring the library into modernity. Davis said plans for a multifaith prayer meditation space are still in place, though it is unknown where it would be. Elhaija said she sees the lack of prayer space available for religious students like her is a “lack of support” from the university. AMANDA TRAN / DAILY TITAN

More money is being allocated to the Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center in an effort to increase the center’s visibility.

More funding will go toward Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center

The Cal State Fullerton Associated Students board of directors approved 20 items at its last meeting of the 2017-18 academic year Tuesday, including a $12,000 contingency fund for the Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center and a change in bylaws, making it easier to remove some student leaders from their positions.

Board Chair Nicholas Jakel said Tuesday’s meeting was one of the more “exciting” meetings he has attended. “I don’t think we’ve ever had an agenda with that many action items on it,” Jakel said. “I’m glad to leave the year on a positive note just serving students the best way we can.” The money being allocated to the Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center is an extension of what was provided last year by the board, as there is more of a demand now that the new site has opened, said Elizabeth Perez, director of the College of Humanities and

Social Sciences. Funding will go toward “increasing the visibility” of the center, which opened in February but has only seen minor use, and creating more emergency grants to support students, said Carmen Curiel, associate dean of students. Joshua Borjas, director of the College of Communications and incoming Associated Students president, said the Basic Needs Resolution stood out as one of the most important things at the meeting.

In 1999, Graham Beightol came to Cal State Fullerton as a theater major but moved to New York to pursue a career in Broadway. After gaining experience in television and having an interest in film, he came back motivated to finish what he started 17 years ago. Now 36 years old, Beightol is graduating this year with a Bachelor of Arts in cinema and television arts and, like many students, he isn’t quite sure where he wants to end up after college, but he’s open to anything that comes his way. “I’m more of a freethinker. If someone says, ‘Hey I have this great opportunity and it’s in Algeria,’ I might go... That’s where I’m at, just living in the moment,” Beightol said. Because he’s been to places all over the United States, the biggest question on Beightol’s mind is where he wants to live. In addition to living in New York after he left college to audition for Broadway shows, Beightol grew up in Covina before his career took him to Los Angeles and Seattle. Beightol said his high school drama teacher, Laura Holbrook, a CSUF alumna, was instrumental in pointing him toward becoming a Titan, but his choice to come back to CSUF years later was due to his desire to continue his education and earn his degree. Holbrook was influential in

helping improve Beightol’s confidence, as he remembers himself being quiet, nervous and reserved. “I wasn’t outgoing or really driven and I didn’t do anything. Through theater and friendships, I ended up becoming a stronger person with a better personality,” Beightol said. In December of last year, Beightol appeared on a reality television show called “Encore!” which aired on ABC Network. The show, produced by Kristen Bell, was about a group of people who performed a musical show in high school and reunited years later to do it again; the musical performed was “Into the Woods.” “I got to reconnect with eight of my friends from high school, some of them I haven’t seen in 20 years,” Beightol said. Beightol said he will always love that he took part in reality television but wouldn’t recommend it to anyone as he considered it “happy jail.” “They want every interaction to be on camera. When taping is done, you get into a separate car, you go to separate hotel rooms and you’re not allowed to talk to anybody until the next day,” Beightol said. Through the series, he got to showcase his performance abilities and get a behind-the-scenes look at how television works, ultimately leading him to become a cinema and television arts major. Beightol can now be found every month at the Stage Door Repertory Theatre in Anaheim doing improv shows with his team Fancy Hobo. SEE REUNION

Aldrich CPAs + Advisors LLP was chosen from a pool of five potential auditing firms, in part, to teach students how to read financial statements.

Action: Board approves new auditor for three years “ 1

“Being a resident adviser in housing, I’m worried about some of my residents because they do experience housing insecurity,” Borjas said. “Knowing that we’re supporting that center is exciting and makes me happy and confident.” The board also approved Aldrich CPAs + Advisors LLP to audit Associated Students for three years starting in fall 2018, upon the advice of Glaiza Julian, board vice chair and treasurer, and Dave Edwards, Associated Students executive director. Aldrich was chosen from a pool of five potential firms that had already been certified to audit the California State University system. “Specifically, this firm has experience with teaching students how to read financial statements, which can be a challenge. They’ve offered to come before the audit is presented and provide training sessions

on reading audits,” Edwards said. The board approved a proposal to require only five percent of the student body to vote, as opposed to 10 percent, to remove board members from the decision-making process with the exception of college directors. This comes as over 40,000 students are enrolled at CSUF. “All of our bylaw changes regarding our initiative, referendum, and recall is really important for transparency and for students to have a voice in who is leading ASI,” Jakel said. The board also approved five items regarding an effort to update Associated Students policy statements over the 201718 academic year, to make sure those statements still comply with CSU standards said Carol McDoniel, Associated Students director of administration. She said the efforts have focused mostly on financial policies, such as fundraising and student leader travel budgets

Specifically, this firm has experience with teaching students how to read financial statements, which can be a challenge.

DAVE EDWARDS Associated Students executive director throughout the spring semester. McDoniel said those statements were all “sound.” “We basically just reformatted. The parts we added were just background on why this policy exists so future boards can look at the policy and understand it better,” McDoniel said. McDoniel said the five items were the last parts of the effort that needed to be approved.

Faith: Pollak Library aims to be more inclusive CONTINUED FROM

While Davis said CSUF has a “pretty complex social sphere,” it seems the Muslim student population on campus is a driving force behind the push for a prayer room. Although the plans are still tentative, Davis said the space would be a quiet one for people to reflect and take a moment for themselves. Davis said the library is taking a look into some of its possible rooms, where there wouldn’t be too much noise and it would be easily accessible to students. The library itself is also trying to be a welcoming and inclusive space in general, given the fact the five Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers were relocated to the south side of the Pollak Library. Davis said while the library is meant to be a place for students to be open to finding new ideas, students should still be able to be comfortable “maintaining their own (ideas).”

KATIE ALBERTSON / DAILY TITAN

Davis said that the prayer space is part of the library’s plan to become more accessible to religious and ethnic communities on campus.

The Nutwood Cafe grill, which might close in the summer, offers a variety of foods from hamburgers and fries to salads and breakfast options.

Nutwood Cafe grill could be closed this summer “ MATTHEW MENDOZA Staff Writer

Nutwood Cafe, on the first floor of College Park, could be closing The Grill this summer. The Nutwood Cafe grill currently offers a variety of food ranging from eggs for breakfast to burgers and grilled

chicken for lunch and dinner. “We are looking into adjusting what is offered at Nutwood Cafe with a rebrand of the store, which includes closing The Grill,” according to an email sent to the Daily Titan by campus dining. The Nutwood Cafe also offers Togo’s sandwiches, serves Starbucks coffee and has a wide variety of snacks and beverages. The Grill employees would be transferred to other campus dining locations but Crystal Newman,

campus dining marketing manager, could not specify which locations. There are no official plans for what may replace The Grill but “more information might be decided in July,” Newman said in an email. Joshua Fleischer, a communications major at Cal State Fullerton, is a regular at Nutwood Cafe. He said he visits the cafe at least once a week due to its proximity to his classes.

We are looking into adjusting what is offered at Nutwood Cafe with a rebrand of the store which includes closing The Grill.

“

Grill employees to be transferred to other dining locations across campus.

Campus Dining email statement “I can walk in if I’m heading to class a little early, get something to eat, something to drink. They have snacks and all kinds of stuff,” Fleischer said. Raul Reyes, an accounting major at CSUF, would like to see

healthier food options replace the grill. “I would say maybe a Poke Express that would be a good option, something that gives you an option of tofu, or the substitute of meat itself,” Reyes said.

The Duo goes vegan for a few meals and explores the plantbased restaurants near campus.

HANNAH MILLER Lifestyle Editor

TRACY HOANG Layout Editor

We’ve tackled juicy, fried chicken sandwiches in Los Angeles, burgers and ramen in New York, spam musubi on campus and now we’ve ventured into new and uncharted territory: vegan food. Suggested by a handful of our coworkers (mainly Caitlin Bartusick, assistant copy editor, and Briggetta Pierrot, opinion editor), we decided to try and eat a little healthier this week. But there aren’t that many Dumpling Duo-worthy vegan restaurants around campus, unless you want a comprehensive and in-depth review of the overpriced and under flavored Green Bliss cafe in Downtown Fullerton. We took to our newsroom vegans and veggie heads to ask for some suggestions, and these are the unhealthy “healthy” foods we loved, and in some cases didn’t. Vegan Pizza Briggetta pointed us in the direction of this pie place, and the thought of “healthy” pizza that tastes like the real thing excited us. We took Amy Wells, one of the news editors, to pick up some pizza and indulge.

WEDNESDAY MAY 9, 2018

Vegan Pizza, a small shop in Garden Grove, is a 100 percent plant-based restaurant serving all the things you’d imagine a pizza place to serve. Besides pizza, they also have pasta, meatballs and calzones. The tiny spot was crammed when we got there as people stood around and waited for their orders. The menu selection was overwhelming, offering us basics like a pepperoni pizza to more complicated pies like the Indian-style pizza. We stared up, gazing at the selection and salivating at the smell that invited us to stay. Our picks: the Barbecue Chik’un Pizza and the Mediterranean Pizza. The Barbecue Chik’un Pizza beat out Pizza Press in flavor. The fake cheese was ooey and savory, sprinkled sparsely across thick dough drenched in barbecue sauce. It was similar to burrata cheese. Chicken-esque shreds scattered the top, though they seemed to be more for visuals and texture than anything else. There was nothing offensive about the flavor; it tasted like the barbecue sauce. After a few slices, it ran a little salty. Smothered in pesto sauce, basil leaves, mushroom, cherry tomatoes, garlic, kalamata olives and onions, the Mediterranean Pizza was a winner and worth the drive on its own. The combination of the garlic and oils, the lack of fake meat and the juicy tomatoes that exploded with flavor, were more than enough to satisfy our taste buds. Loving Hut Our next stop was the Loving Hut. Suggested to us by news editor Brandon Pho, we swung by the restaurant while we were in Garden Grove. It was coincidentally in the same plaza as Vegan Pizza.

If Vegan Pizza smelled good, the Loving Hut smelled like heaven. It was intoxicating as we excitedly flipped through the menu. We settled on the Spicy Cha Cha and the zesty fries, reminiscent of good ol’ cajun fries. The main star, however, was the Spicy Cha Cha. The Spicy Cha Cha features fried soy shrimp in a delectable sweet and spicy sauce. The soy shrimp was a surprising find to us because the texture and appearance of it looked very much like actual shrimp. The menu says it’s made up of konjaku, which is a gluten-free Japanese alternative to pasta, made with yam flour. The “shrimp” was paired with white rice (or brown), lettuce and cucumbers. This was probably one of the best vegan foods we ever had, and left us wanting more from Loving Hut. Healthy Junk Our last stop was Healthy Junk in Anaheim. Bringing along Harrison Faigen, web editor, we drove out to the city of Disney, mouths watering as we scrolled through endless pictures of heart-stopping treats. Tucked inside a food court, Healthy Junk was difficult to spot at first. If Harrison’s hawk eye hadn’t spotted the tiny sign with the name scribbled on in chalk, we would have kept circling. We walked in and were blasted with a wall of freezing air and a line of people leading only to Healthy Junk. The other nearby vendors sat abandoned by customers. Another overwhelming menu glared at us, with 100 percent plant-based burgers, kale salads and chicken. We brought home (to the newsroom) the Crispy Chicken

Burger, Chili Chez Fries and a Stake and Avocado Wrap. The Crispy Chicken Burger looked beautiful and its crunchy breading and shiny bread made us believe we were holding an actual fried chicken sandwich in our hands. Biting into it, however, caused the illusion to dissolve. While the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, and the vegan mayo savory, the thick chicken breast wannabe was flavorless. It was like biting into a breading sandwich, with the breading unnoteworthy. As a recommendation from the girl at the register, we got a special menu item, which was the Stake and Avocado wrap. It is called the Stake and Avocado wrap, but the wrap was packed with bell peppers, so much so that we ended up picking them out. The steak, or whatever substance they labeled as such, was simultaneously chewy and mushy. The Chili Chez Fries? Mind blowing. Revolutionary. Truly a work of art. Perfectly cooked french fries, rich tomato-based chili sauce, some black beans and chez fooled us into thinking we were eating an artery-clogging meal, straight from a food truck in downtown Los Angeles. Only minor mistakes were made on our brief vegan adventure, especially for those who chose to indulge in salty barbecue pizza over the realistic and satisfying crunch of Loving Hut’s shrimp. Or the one who tried to finish the chicken sandwich that absorbed every drop of moisture from our mouths. But if there are any bites we’d go back for, and we will go back for them, the Spicy Cha Cha and Chili Chez Fries would be our pick.

Reunion: Returning student writes short film CONTINUED FROM

He’s been doing improv for about 10 years and has done countless shows with teams at the Spectacles Improv Engine in Fullerton and a comedy group in Long Beach called the Upperclassmen, who he helped reunite after they temporarily broke up. Beightol said his most memorable improv shows included a scene that lasted 25 hours. His company tried to surmount a record for the longest improv scene lasting more than 24 hours in an attempt to be recognized by the Guinness World Records. “People would go off stage and sleep for an hour and then come back as their character. We finished it, and then we all collectively passed out and died,” Beightol said. Unfortunately, Beightol said his company accidently read the record for the longest stand-up set, not improv. “We didn’t qualify for their criteria, but still we had the ability to say we did a scene for 25 hours,” Beightol said. Beightol is now working on a short film called “Consequence” for his cinema and television arts class. The film is about a girl who finds a scrapbook that can tell the future, but every time she alters the future something

goes wrong. Cris Lopez, who is in charge of sound production for the short, said Beightol always had a positive attitude and didn’t stay limited to his role as production designer, he was always trying to help others on set. “After completing what he had to do, that didn’t stop him from going around. You would see him in every department,” Lopez said. One of the directors of photography for the film, Ohan Ghazarian said Beightol stayed on top of everything as well. “He got us all the locations, all the props we needed, all the set designs and the wardrobe,” Ghazarian said. The film is currently in post-production, but Lopez said a public screening will be held at the Brea Plaza 5 Cinemas on May 21 from 7 p.m to 9 p.m. “Now I can confidently say I can make a film, and I have,” Beightol said. In addition, he said that without CSUF, he wouldn’t have known the first thing about filmmaking and wouldn’t have the skills that he has today. “I’m most proud of the fact that I was able to come back and achieve a degree at Cal State Fullerton when I’d thought that was a pipe dream and a lost hope,” Beightol said.

Disney’s facade of happiness hides corporate greed The company cares more about money than people.

RICARDO NAVARRO Staff Writer

Disneyland is marketed as the “The Happiest Place On Earth” but in reality, it’s the most deceitful place on Earth. With massive crowds, insane ticket prices, ridiculous wait times and a lack of respect for its employees, this park isn’t what it promotes itself to be. While Walt Disney Co. has done a tremendous job of keeping its family-friendly image in tact, it’s rife with greed and apathy for its consumers and employees. “Disney the company is very much working for its stockholders, as many big corporations are,” said Andi Stein, Cal State Fullerton communications professor and who teaches a class about Disney. “Their job is to make money for their stockholders and to produce products and services that are going to earn them money.” Most Disney employees who work in the park are, on average, getting paid minimum wage, according to Glassdoor.com, a website where employees and former employees anonymously review companies and their management. With an annual revenue of $55.137 billion in 2017, the company could have increased its hourly pay instead of failing year after year to give its employees a livable wage. Because of these low wages, many employees struggle to pay

for medical expenses, housing and food. This was the case for a Disneyland night janitor named Yeweinishet “Weini” Mesfin who was found dead in her car in November 2016, according to the Orange County Register. Mesfin started working at Disneyland in 2007, she lived out of her Honda Civic. Stein said part of the reason why Disney’s low wages are often overlooked is because of the company’s focus on promoting a facade of happiness. People consider the parks to be the happiest

COAST!

This Summer See You at

place on Earth, assuming that the employees are happy there as well. Disneyland is also notorious for its incredibly high prices. As of May 2018, a single-day ticket for one park is $117 for a regular entrance day and $135 for a peakday ticket. These prices are ridiculously high compared to just a decade ago when a single-day ticket was only $69, according to NPR. But these consistently increasing prices are only a small part of Disney’s selfishness and lack of concern for its customers.

When a four-year-old boy fell off Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin ride in 2000 he suffered major brain damage, from which he never fully recovered from, but the public relations team did its very best to stop the incident from turning into a national story, to no avail. The incident led to the first major investigation under a law regulating amusement parks and shortly after the accident Disneyland began making changes to its rides and safety procedures, according to the Los Angeles Times. The Disney legal team later

settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, according to the OC Register. The Walt Disney Co. has definitely done a great job in brainwashing the youth, maintaining its spotless and perfect reputation. However, digging beneath the surface of happiness reveals all the greed, deception and apathy the company hides. Although Disney films have been a part of people’s lives, they can’t be blinded by nostalgia and need to realize that Disney only has its own best interests in mind.

Starting May 24, Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer will travel throughout Europe for 10 days for a trip to face four European teams. “This is a fantastic opportunity to take a group of college students to experience a different culture and different environments, both socially and within soccer,” said Titans head coach Demian Brown. The teams the Titans will compete against during the excursion are not confirmed yet, but they have been told they will face two Belgian teams and two teams from Ireland. The ability to see a different playing style on the pitch gives Fullerton new competition to learn from. The experience will provide a new perspective on college games and those who want to continue a soccer career after college. “We can go and play girls who grew up playing different soccer than what we play here. Being able to see that and to even get an idea of what it’s like to play over there, if I wanted to go and try to play out there ... I’m really excited for it,” said senior defender Nano Oronoz. Aside from the lessons the Titans will learn on the field, they also said they’d view this opportunity as a chance to create chemistry. After losing nine senior

athletes, CSUF is bringing members of next year’s team hoping to mark the beginning of its unity. “We’re going to be with each other 24/7 for 10 days. We’re going to get to learn new things about each other that probably we didn’t know and to create a stronger bond between us so that on the field, we are more effective in what we do and off the field, our relationships are stronger,” Oronoz said. Transfer student Myriah “Mimi” Epino sees this as a chance to create an environment that would make it easier to incorporate and bring together the other new members of the team who join them after the trip. “If we can make this foundation over the summer and build on this and then we take in all these new girls, I think it would be a better transition,” Mimi said. However, though this trip is aimed to benefit its growth, CSUF will remain true to its style of playing and its culture it created for the team. “I think it’s important that we realize that when we go over there and play, even in a different country and we don’t have our support, we need to be who we are,” said junior forward Hailey Pohevitz. “We need to take our soccer and bring them over there and show them how we play.” The Titans are hopeful that this experience contributes to their preparation for the 2018 season. “We’re going to come back and apply all the concepts and ideas that we learned together and I think we’re going to come out very strong in the fall,” Pohevitz said.

Cal State Fullerton track and field athletes Corey Gilbert, Tyler Hardge, Alysse McMillen and Sam Schubert swept the final round of Big West Track and Field Athlete of the Week awards following their May 5 performances in the Titan Twilight. Schubert set a new personal best in the 110-meter hurdles. He finished with a time of 14.41 seconds, trimming down his previous personal best of 14.62 seconds. For this season, his new record ranks as the seventh-best time for 110-meter hurdles in the Big West conference. Hardge took second place in the 400-meter hurdles and finished with a time of 61.89 seconds, which is the ninth-fastest finish this season in conference. Her best time is still 60.10 seconds, which she set at the CSUN Challenge on May 2, 2015. Field athletes Gilbert and McMillen set new personal bests during the competition. Gilbert heaved new personal and team bests in the discus toss of 56.09 meters. However, he fell short of achieving first place by 3.12 meters. He also held the previous team record after throwing 54.45 meters on March 24. The distance still placed Gilbert as No.17 in the NCAA Division
