Cal State University executives received a 3 percent salary raise at a July 24 board of trustees meeting. CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White, five vice chancellors and the 23 campus presidents will receive the same compensation increase. The salary increases were proposed by White. Garrett Ashley, vice chancellor, was the only CSU executive to receive an

additional 9.6 percent raise after having two additional titles added to his portfolio responsibilities with no pay increase: state government relations function and alumni relations function. Gov. Jerry Brown’s approved $92.1 million budget increase for the 2018-19 year made the salary increases possible, according to a CSU budget report. Although the raises are already approved, members of the Students for Quality Education and the California Faculty Association urged the trustees at their Tuesday meeting to prioritize students and faculty going forward. “For the first time in many years, higher education funding has been taken seriously in the state of California,” said Rafael

Gomez, the associate vice president of the California Faculty Association. “I’m asking all of you to please reexamine the approach you have taken in terms of the budget. What we really need is more students in the classroom and more tenure-track faculty in the class.” Gomez said the budget money was given with the expectation that it would be used to increase student enrollment and the number of tenure faculty members. Susan Green, Chico State professor and California Faculty Association treasurer, said to the trustees during the meeting that Students for Quality Education and the California Faculty Association activists helped secure the $364 million in CSU funding in the first place.

“You’re welcome,” Green said to the board of trustees. The increase that was voted on and approved for the administration at the board meeting was a similar percentage to what was given to all the employee groups, with the exception of the faculty, who will receive a larger 3.5 pay increase on Nov. 1, said Mike Uhlenkamp, the chancellor’s office spokesman. Uhlenkamp said salary increases are only considered when there is room in the budget. “When the budget is good, then we negotiate contracts with our represented employees that lock them in to giving them raises over a number of years,” Uhlenkamp said. Emily Hinton, CSU student trustee, sent out an email

encouraging student government representatives to get more involved in CSU board meetings, as they add student voices to the conversation. In the email, Hinton said that the increase was “planned and budgeted for ahead of time and was given in order to address the increasing cost of living and keep up with the rate of inflation.” Liz Sanchez, Students for Quality Education member and Cal State Fullerton graduate student, said they want the board of trustees to stop with the salary increases for executives altogether. “As of right now, there are students who do qualify for financial aid and still obtain loans because of the cost of living,” Sanchez said. “I think it’s a slap in the face the fact that they want this money while we are truly suffering the costs of living.” Andrew Flores, California Faculty Association intern and CSUF student, said students need more representation at the system level and more support from the CSUF Associated Students. “We still should be out here as students. It’ll be a lot better for the work that we do to unionize as students. And so far, our student government is falling short on that,” Flores said. Sanchez said there should be a board of trustees meeting “shutdown” in order to send a direct message. “They’ve seen us yell on the outside. They’ve seen us cry on the inside of the meeting. We’ve brought statistics. We have brought our own personal narratives and nothing has changed,” Sanchez said.

Lauren Peterkin, the current discussion facilitator of Sistertalk, has found a safe place to open up about her personal struggles as a woman of color raised by a mostly white family. “I had a lot of issues growing up — just the fact that I was black, I didn’t like it, because my mom is white, and I would always look up to her and I would think she is so beautiful, and I always wanted to be like her. She is white with green eyes, straight hair... So just looking at her, I always felt ugly or I didn’t feel right because of my mom,” Peterkin said. Every Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. members of Sistertalk get together at the WoMen’s Center to talk over observations, struggles and victories they face as black women on campus and in modern society. Topic discussions range from colorism in the black community, to appropriation of black style, to the inequality of male and female roles specific to the black community. There is no subject that is off the table for discussion. Sistertalk has allowed women of color on campus to be vocal about serious personal issues and light-hearted ones. The group does not hold back in talking frankly about the world, the society they live in and their experiences living their day-to-day lives as black women.

After joining Sistertalk and participating in their meetings, Peterkin has discovered a sense of confidence that wasn’t there before. “Talking about (struggles) in these meetings really made me feel like there was nothing wrong with being black, whether you’re full black, half black, or whatever. It’s made me really appreciate black people and love myself,” Peterkins said. As the President of Sistertalk, Kyree Jackson said her main focus is to not only hold discussions relevant to black women, but also act upon their thoughts in a real-world setting. “We want to make an influence that is going to encourage growth. If we talk about colorism, what are some actions we can take to stop ourselves from having colorist habits or stop someone else? We really want to educate the community,” Jackson said. For some participants, this network of women has also been an opportunity for academic growth. Jackson reflects on a moment last semester where several members were struggling in their classes. Jackson’s reaction was to initiate a discussion to see how they could all help each other. “I feel like when they are not doing well, then I am not doing well,” Jackson said. Jackson’s tenacity to help her peers succeed can be traced back to her own determination to be a successful student. She said as a black woman, she is expected to work just as hard, if not harder, for her accomplishments to be recognized next to everyone else’s. SEE PROSPER

OC County Undersheriff Don Barnes commends communication between law enforcement agencies since 9/11.

The Nixon foundation holds annual memorial to tribute those lost on Sept. 11. HOSAM ELATTAR News Editor

At the Richard Nixon Museum, Patti Trentini, one of the foundation members, remembers making breakfast for her three children before a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard when she received an urgent voicemail from her sister on September 11, 2001. When Trentini called her sister back, her brother-in-law answered. Trentini’s parents had been on Flight 11 from Boston headed to Los Angeles International Airport. “He said their plane just crashed into the World Trade Center. The rest of the day was the beginning of the darkest time

in my life,” Trentini said. Trentini was one of over 400 people commemorating the 2,977 Americans lost that day at the Richard Nixon Museum in Yorba Linda on Tuesday. The museum also included a special display of steel and soil taken from the World Trade Center after the attack, as well as “a flag that was flown over ground zero”, said Chris Nordyke, Nixon foundation events director. Don Barnes, county undersheriff and recurring commemoration guest speaker, said 9/11 brought about “important change” on how local law enforcement operates in the U.S. to prevent similar attacks in the future. “In the 17 years since we have seen dramatic change in our nation’s attitude and concerns about safety, vigilance and privacy,” Barnes said. “The Orange County Sheriff’s Department has resources dedicated to detecting and stopping terrorism in our

jurisdiction.” Barnes praised the county’s Intelligence Assessment Center, which is steered by the Sheriff’s Department, and the county’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which is a collaboration with the FBI and other entities that investigate terrorist activities. He thanked them for opening up communication and information-sharing between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. “The ability to communicate openly and quickly, to share information swiftly and without barriers has been essential to preventing additional attacks against our homeland. Let me assure you attacks have been prevented,” Barnes said, adding that “poor public policy” regarding communication between law enforcement agencies could return the U.S. to “a pre-9/11 condition” and put the U.S. at risk.

Gastronome cuts waste with new system

Eliminating food waste before it even is a priority for the dining hall. ANTONIO LOPEZ Staff Writer

The food service company that helps run the Gastronome, Aramark, recently launched a brand new system to measure day-today waste numbers, specifically focused on cutting waste before customers even pick up the plate. “It’s really hard to share a number yet; I think within the next couple of months we’ll have year-over-year data that will show us where we were last year compared to where we are now,” said Rhonda Robinson, the food service director of the Gastronome. Eliminating the possibility of food going to waste is heavily focused on at the Gastronome. The primary campus dining area serves between 25,000 and 27,000 meals per week to just under 2,000 residential students and several hundred commuters. The Gastronome is using a new practice that is focused on cooking only enough food to meet the demand, rather than having large numbers of prepared food that may end up going untouched. “We use a restaurant approach, we cook in batches,” said Ubirajara Martins, executive chef at the Gastronome. “So if I know I’m going to make 50 pounds of broccoli, I’m not going to cook all 50 pounds at 1 o’clock. I’ll do increments of 2 or 3 pounds, and at the end of the night I’m only cooking what the students are asking for.” To achieve long-term reduction of food waste, Martins said it is a two-way street that requires efforts from the students as well. “When the students come in, they see the abundance of food, they try to eat everything and they don’t eat the amount of food they put on the plate. We cannot control that. So that’s why we want to make sure it becomes a partnership, where they know they can go to any station as

Unconsumed cups of soda and plates of food sit in the Gastronome kitchen.

many times as they want, and just put on the plate what they really need,” Martins said. Cody Dion, a fourth-year journalism major, usually eats at the Gastronome at least once a day and said students can contribute to reducing food waste by taking only the food they know they’ll eat.

“There’s a lot of food on the conveyor belt, it’s kinda disgusting, there’ll be like a huge burger, huge sandwich, maybe a bunch of fries they didn’t like. I think it’s not (the Gastronome) that has to improve, I think it’s the students that come. Don’t be too adventurous, because that can lead to food waste.”

The goal of lessening food waste in the exclusive CSUF dining hall is balanced with the Gastronome’s duties of providing food that is varied, healthy and high quality. The Gastronome changes its menu for lunch and dinner every day for seven days a week and is also engaged in a partnership with the American

Heart Association. The organization helps provide healthy options for students and encourages them to have a more well-rounded diet. “I’m counting on your generation to change this,” Robinson said. “Whatever we can do to help offer solutions to help start a conversation.”

CSUF students lead in voter registration

ASI hopes competition will motivate Titans to show up KORRYN SANCHEZ Layout Editor

Cal State Fullerton’s Associated Students has launched its new Voter Registration Coalition with the goal of getting record

numbers of CSUF students registered to vote for the midterm elections. Cal State Fullerton is currently in first place with 191 students registered to vote. In second place, the University of San Diego has three students registered. As of publication, no other registered school in the competition has more than three.

ANITA HUOR / DAILY TITAN

Meghan Waymire, Associated Students’ chief governmental officer and third-year political science major, oversees the coalition. To do this, Waymire has used volunteer hours as an incentive to accumulate student volunteers to assist other students in the voting registration process. Seven students on campus have already started getting involved

by signing up as volunteers to assist students in the voter registration process. Waymire said the coalition will also boost CSUF’s participation in the Ballot Bowl, a new project started by the California Lt. Governor in partnership with the Secretary of State and a coalition of nonprofit organizations. The competition is designed to motivate students to vote and increase the turnout of 18 to 24-year-olds on Election Day. The Ballot Bowl competition is open to all California community colleges, California State Universities, Universities of California and private universities, but so far only six campuses are officially registered, including CSUF. The competition began Monday, Aug. 20 and will continue through Monday, Oct. 22, just over two weeks before the Nov. 6 elections, according to the Ballot Bowl website. In order to maintain a top spot in the competition, students must register to vote using a specific link available on the Titan Online portal under the tab ‘register to vote.’ Using this link to vote ensures each student’s registration is counted toward the Ballot Bowl competition. Associated Students has partnered with clubs, greek life, several Associated Students commissions and on-campus volunteer clubs in order to inform students about the opportunities surrounding this new initiative. “When we vote on things like initiatives, often times — young people — it falls on them

harder than others,” said Pamela Fiber-Ostrow, Ph.D., a political science professor at CSUF. “I think they have to be reminded to get out and make a difference because even if the vote doesn’t go in their favor on that particular day, it doesn’t mean their vote didn’t count.” However, in increasing voter turnout, registration is only the first step. Only 12 percent of students between the ages of 18 to 21 turned out to vote even though about 62 percent of college students were registered in the 2014 midterm elections, according to research done by the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement,. Lobby Corps is an on-campus advocacy commission run by Associated Students that lobbies legislatures on policies that could affect students. The corps is attempting to convey to students the importance of the propositions and the candidates listed on the Nov. 6 ballot and the effects they will have on higher education. To help inform students, Associated Students is holding several informational sessions touching on topics like gun control and the Constitution. “Learning what is on the ballot relates to students and student issues,” Waymire said. “We have a bunch of different events coming up. In late October we want to do a political fair that will educate students about what is on the ballot as well as engage them and introduce them to different organizations and clubs where they can get involved.”

Lowering the voting age

Teens have the ability to reshape politics if given the chance.

ALEC CALVILLO Staff Writer

In April, Charles Allen, a district council member, introduced the idea of decreasing the legal voting age to 16 in Washington D.C. Allen was inspired by the “March for Our Lives” teens who protested against guns in March. Students are taking on new roles as activists and some are even more informed about politics and legislation than adults. There’s no reason or argument to prevent them from voting because as future leaders, it’s better to get them to actively participate in the processes that drive society. Rob Robinson, political science assistant professor, holds an optimistic outlook and said 16 and 17-year-olds can be responsible voters. “The average 16-year-old and 17-yearold is not really any worse off in terms of intellectual ability, engagement or passion than the average 50-year-old,” Robinson said. Lowering the voting age isn’t a radical idea for the United States. In 1971, the 26th Amendment was revised so the voting age went from 21 to 18. It seems the United States always waits for tragedy to occur in order to create new legislation. Protesting isn’t enough to persuade politicians. The students at Stoneman Douglas High School started their own campaign called “March for Our Lives,” which has sparked a new revolution through student activism. Whether older generations would like to believe it or not, youth also share many distinct similarities with them. Not only do 16-year-olds have the desire to vote, but they can drive, pay taxes and work. They take on the same responsibilities as adults, yet they can’t vote. Student expression in grade school has been limited for many years. The government has tried to silence their speech with ridiculous precedents like the famous Supreme Court case Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier.

The students at the Hazelwood East High School newspaper were writing articles on teen pregnancy and death when the principal decided to pull the articles before publication. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the principal, and found his actions didn’t violate the First Amendment. The federal government is scared of allowing youth to object to their laws and would rather keep them cooperative by feeding them nationalism. They’re scared of any disagreement that might stir up among students with different political views, but America has already created hostile partisan debates. The government can’t keep the youth silent anymore, not when their schools are victims of another mass shooting. Students from Stoneman Douglas High School stomped on Marco Rubio in Florida and got him tongue tied during the town hall meeting hosted by CNN back in February. They have caught on to dirty tricks that senators and their parties have, like laundering money through nonprofit organizations that are also known as super PACs. Along with lowering the legal voting age, schools should enforce more government-based classes so students can learn how to be good voters and how to recognize false information. The government is afraid of Generation Z because they’re the ones who are going to change the United States the most, and it starts with lowering the voting age. Hopefully, California will follow in the footsteps of Washington D.C. and lower the age too. Allen and others are willing to give youth a chance and it’s time to give democracy a new look because the one we have currently looks like a plutocracy.

Female athletes face sexist rules too often

KAYLA ALCARAZ / DAILY TITAN

Alize Cornet deserves the same respect as any male athlete.

ALYSSA LOPEZ Opinion Editor

Alize Cornet, French professional tennis player, was recently penalized at the U.S. Open for taking her shirt off during a break in the match. This incident has sparked a controversy, with many saying this is another example of sexism. After realizing her shirt was on backwards Cornet decided to quickly remove it and adjust it the right way. The court umpire gave her a code violation and told her, “This is not okay. You cannot take your shirt off on court like this.” As Cornet made the quick decision to remove her shirt on the court, one commentator stated “Oh okay, well let’s change right here” and then laughed as if it was an absurd sight. Female bodies are not shameful — had she been a male, no one would have thought twice. The idea that women are allowed to be scrutinized for how their bodies look or how much of it is showing, is an outdated, sexist view that isn’t needed. However, it is not at the fault of the United States Tennis Association. If a player’s equipment or clothing, not including a racket, becomes unusable, the play may be delayed for a period of time while the player is able to leave the court to fix the problem. However, that player is subject to a code violation, according to the USTA handbook of tennis rules and regulations. All players, male or female are subject to code violations if

they need to leave the court for a clothing or equipment malfunction. Had Cornet left the court to change her shirt, she would have still received a penalty. Cornet receiving a code violation isn’t sexist, the reasoning behind why she got one is what’s sexist. There is no penalty, stated in the handbook, for a player taking their shirt off on the court. The court umpire seems to be at blame here. Male professional tennis players like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have had no shirt on while on the court, so it’s unfair that Cornet was penalized for doing the same exact thing. This isn’t a new struggle for women in the professional world of sports. For decades, female athletes have experienced harsh criticism over clothing and appearance. Athletes like Billie Jean King, former professional tennis player, and Serena Williams, current professional tennis player, are familiar with the kind of sexism and disapproval women face when it comes to their attire and physical appearance in sports. In 1955, Billie Jean King was denied inclusion in a Los Angeles Tennis Club group photo for the junior tennis players because she wore shorts instead of the traditional dress girls usually wore. While this would be expected from a time period such as the ‘50s, 2018 would seem to have more hope. However, Serena Williams recently wore a black catsuit to the French Open that has since been banned as a part of the new dress code set in place by Bernard Giudicelli, the French Tennis Federation president. In an interview with Tennis magazine, Giudicelli stated “I believe we have, sometimes, gone too far. Serena’s outfit this year, for example, would no longer be accepted. You have to respect the game and the place.” Her outfit should not have been given a second thought because there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Williams said in an interview with the Independent it made her feel powerful like a “warrior princess,” which

is the attitude all female athletes should feel when they play sports. Putting aside appearance, her catsuit was also created to protect against blood clots. She had developed a hematoma, a swelling of clotted blood, after giving

birth to her daughter. “What Bernard Giudicelli said about Serena Williams’ catsuit was 10,000 [times] worse than what happened to me on the court,” Cornet said in the 2018 U.S. Open press conference. When what women wear is

the number one topic of discussion in sports, there’s a problem. Their strength and how well they play needs to be the first thing acknowledged. Female athletes deserve to focus on the game rather than worry about sexist rules and codes.

Review: ‘Kamikaze’ dives into rap community

Eminem shoots down rappers in defense of his declining popularity. NATHAN NGUYEN Staff Writer

On Friday, Aug. 31, Eminem released “Kamikaze,” his 10th studio album. The 45-year-old rapper dropped the 13-track album out of nowhere, surprising fans and followers. This comes just eight months after the release of his last album, “Revival,” which received mixed reviews from critics. “Kamikaze” has sold over 434,000 copies and been streamed over 225.5 million times as it currently sits at the top of the Billboards 200 albums chart. This unprecedented success comes as a surprise considering there was no marketing or promotion leading up to the album release. Despite earning mainstream chart success, “Kamikaze” has been criticized for its lack of substance. The word kamikaze, comes from the Japanese aircraft in World War II, which carried explosives meant to cause a deliberate suicidal crash on an enemy target. The premise of Eminem’s album exemplifies just that, taking shots and insulting other rappers as he goes out on a sort of farewell tour. Among the expletive filled banter and a voicemail from Paul Rosenburg, president of Shady Records, “Kamikaze” emphasizes Eminem’s irritation with the current state of hip-hop and his insecurity with other people’s opinions of his music. He criticizes journalists and the press on the opening track “The Ringer,” but this is not the first time. Eminem has a history of disparaging members of the media, spanning back 17 years. “Greatest in the world. No lie, I might be the best to ever do it,” said Eminem on “Greatest.” While Eminem’s discography and track record speak for themselves, negative reviews of his last album are what prompted

him to release “Kamikaze.” “‘Revival’ didn’t go viral, Denaun and Royce told me that I should take the high road” Eminem said on “Greatest.” This proclamation plays in the same tune of “My left stroke just went viral” from Kendrick Lamar’s song “Humble.” Eminem satirically imitates the rap and flow of other rappers’ hit songs throughout “Kamikaze” and considers his peers as stepping stones to his success. “It kind of came out of nowhere. I didn’t expect it to be a diss album,” said Alec Barr, an entertainment and tourism major. The list of targets in “Kamikaze” include Lil Pump, Lil Yachty, Tyler the Creator, Drake, Donald Trump, Machine Gun Kelly and many others. On the track “Lucky You,” Eminem says it is, in a way, payback. “I think it was interesting because he goes after rappers like Lil Pump, Lil Yachty. It’s a shallow personal attack on their music and their style,” said Kenny Harisis, a history major. Machine Gun Kelly, Ja Rule and Joe Budden, who were all mentioned on “Kamikaze”, have fired back at Eminem on social media. Kelly’s response has received over 60 million views on YouTube, insinuating an oldschool rap battle. Speaking of old school, the cover art of “Kamikaze” also pays homage to the Beastie Boys’ “Licensed to Ill” album art, which depicts an airplane tail and also features 13 tracks. It’s a “fly” detail except for those with triskaidekaphobia, who fear the number 13. Overall, “Kamikaze” paints the picture of an insecure, middle-aged Marshall Mathers, who is unable to keep up with the times, willing to criticize everyone but himself through rhymes. “Kamikaze” may satisfy hardcore Eminem stans, but those who were hoping for the real “Slim Shady” may be disappointed. In the words of Machine Gun Kelly, “You’re not getting better with time, it’s fine, Eminem, put down the pen.” s po

Men’s soccer poised for victory against San Diego The Titans will face the Toreros, as they look for their second season win. JESSE LIMA Staff Writer

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team (1-1-3) takes a trip down the I-5 to take on the University of San Diego (2-2-2) tomorrow night in search of its second consecutive road victory. Last year, the Titans hosted the Toreros in Fullerton, which resulted in a 1-1 draw. The last time the teams met was in 2016 and the Titans left with a 3-1 victory. After starting the season with three ties and a loss, the Titans finally recorded their first win of the season with a 1-0 victory at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Sunday. “We had a better attacking shape and we were absolutely better at defending. Those two things definitely helped us because when you can nick a goal in the 86th minute, it puts the other team on the ropes,” said George Kuntz, Titans head coach. The team has scored exactly one goal in each of its five matches with four of those goals coming in the second half of its matches. Senior forward Samuel Goni leads the team with two goals, including the game-winner against

University of Nevada late in the game on Sunday. “It was a relief for me and the team. I had a couple of chances to score before and then it seemed like it was going to go to overtime again. We can use this as a starting point for moving

forward,” Goni said. Compared to last season’s results, the team has less wins in its first five games (2-3-0 start in 2017), but they have scored more goals (5 to 3) and conceded less goals (8 to 9) this year. With six non-conference

games remaining, the Titans still have time to work on things before the conference opener on Oct. 3 when they host Cal State Northridge. “We want to score goals and ... defend well so we can have shutouts. That is going to be a goal

for the entire season and we just hope that we can improve each and every game,” Kuntz said. The team will return to Titan Stadium on Sunday at 5 p.m. when they host Cornell.

Women’s soccer hope to keep win streak alive The two-game win streak is a season high for the Titans as they continue road trip.

JULIUS CHOI

Asst. Copy Editor

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer looks to continue its success on the field Friday when they play the Arizona Wildcats at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium. It will be the second game of a four-game road stint for the Titans. With a 2-0 win over San Jose State University in its last game, Fullerton is now in the midst of a

two-game winning streak. In its last two games, the Titans have outscored their opponents with a combined total of 5-0. In five of its seven games, CSUF has registered 10 shots or more, leading them to a 3-1-1 record in those games. As the team finds success on the field, defender Dani Baldwin has been finding success of her own. Baldwin has appeared in six games this season, which matches her total games played of the previous two seasons combined. The junior has also scored both of her career goals this season. But the Titans are up against

a tough opponent. The Wildcats have won six straight games and hold a 6-1 record, which has earned them two votes to appear in the United Soccer Coaches top 25 rankings. They have outscored opponents 19-2 this season, with one

of the conceded goals occurring in their season-opening loss to Albany. Accoring to the NCAA leaderboards, Arizona is 12th in Division 1 with 8.57 goals per game while also owning the 13th-best save percentage at .905.

CSUF will have to find new ways to score as the team only averages 1.57 goals per game, putting them at a disadvantage against this Wildcats squad. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. and will be televised on the Pac-12 Network.
