California legislation calls for an increase in campus therapists in CSUs. ANDRE SALAZAR Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton does not have enough therapists to service the needs of all its students, said Kristi Kanel, human services department chair, during a recent Academic Senate meeting. “I believe it’s related to mental health, emotional and physical health.” “We’re all thinking we want students to graduate; that’s

student success.” “Well, then if that’s what you want, give them the psychosocial skills they need to do that as well, other than advising them on which (general education) course to take,” Kanel said. SB-968, a bill that was vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Sept. 23, would require California State University schools to have one full-time mental health counselor for every 1,500 students. The veto is currently being considered by the Senate, according to the bill’s history. Based on CSUF’s latest enrollment number, which is 39,343 students as of spring

2018, Kanel said she estimates that 26 therapists would be needed to satisfy that ratio. “The state legislature feels that is what would meet the (students’) needs,” Kanel said when speaking about the bill’s 1-to-1,500 ratio. Kevin Thomas, the Counseling and Psychological Services interim clinical coordinator, said there are 22 therapists currently on staff. This number includes interns who are still in the CSUF training program. Thomas said the bill would require schools to have a specific number of therapists and other mental health specialists, but shouldn’t be universally applied

due to different utilization rates in different-sized campuses. He said historically, smaller schools tend to have a higher rate of usage for counseling, and larger schools tend to have a lower-usage rate. Thomas said he is unsure if a ratio of 1-to-1,500 would be the right fit for CSUF. “I think every campus is very different and unique.” “There are good starting points for a conversation around it, but I don’t know what our actual number (of therapists) would be to say that we are adequately, fully staffed,” Thomas said.

DJs mix at Bowling Bash in TSU Titan Radio held its first oncampus event at the Titan Student Union Bowl & Billiards. MATTISON CANO Staff Writer

Titan Radio celebrated with over 80 DJs at its first event of the semester, Titan Radio Bowling Night at the Titan Bowl & Billiards in the Titan Student Union on Sept. 18. The event seamlessly kicked off the start of the new semester for Titan Radio as the night featured bowling, introductions of the new DJs and ticket giveaways for live shows based in Southern California. “We are an online-only radio station here on campus. We are the school’s official radio station. We have about 80 student DJs, some are also faculty. If you’re involved at Cal State Fullerton, you’re allowed to have a show,” said Matt Sylvester, general manager of Titan Radio. Titan Radio caters to all students on campus as they provide 90 stations from a myriad of genres including, but not limited to, hip-hop, talk shows and blues. The station airs every day, except for Sundays. It is the source of music for campus events like Comm Week, Earth Week, Discoverfest and Student Orientation, according to the Titan Radio website. Each station is completely student run, providing the opportunity for DJ and radio experience as well as a creative outlet. “Everyone’s show is their baby so it’s cool to listen to see how people get creative with it,” said Abbie Briley, communications and campus outreach intern at Titan Radio. Briley said Titan Radio is

like a family that gives students an outlet of expression unique to their tastes. Julia Santana, DJ for her hiphop show “Jules And Gems,” found Titan Radio at Discoverfest and has been participating for almost a year and a half. She plays hip-hop, rhythm and blues, and some Spanish; Santana also focuses on discussing different themes and topics in hip-hop as well. “Last semester I had the women in hip-hop show, so I just talked about different women in hip-hop and how they paved the way,” Santana said. Titan Radio used Titan Radio Bowling Night as a mixer

and an opportunity to give away concert tickets to three live shows: Superorganism, SG Lewis and Flamingosis. Titan Radio give away tickets on air, Instagram and at other events on the Titan Walk. If students missed the Titan Radio Bowling Night but are interested in the organization, students still have an opportunity this semester to attend Titan Radio’s most popular music event. “Our really big event is called (No Stress Fest), we have it every semester. We are coming up on our 5th one this fall that will be in December in the TSU. We are going to have some

live acts, DJs, giveaways, free food, you know the whole nine yards,” Sylvester said. No Stress Fest is a free event offered to both CSUF and nonCSUF students at the end of every semester. As the title suggests, guests will have the opportunity to destress and enjoy the amenities that Titan Radio offers. “My favorite part is that it’s really provided a community,” Sylvester said. “We just create a community, a physical space … It’s really nice that people have a place and people to come to on campus when they drive an hour or are working two jobs.”

September is National Preparedness Month at Cal State Fullerton, which encompasses everything from fire, earthquake, hurricane and active shooter situations, according to the CSUF website. In 2018 alone, there have been at least 62 firearm-related incidents on several school campuses across the nation, according to the Everytown for Gun Safety organization. Sue Fisher, the emergency management coordinator at CSUF for the past nine years, expresses the difficulty of integrating that training into regular student schedules. “It’s not necessarily that [teachers] don’t care or that they don’t want to go over it. Their focus and the reason that they’re hired is to teach students,” Fisher said. Fisher’s role is to make sure the university has an emergency operations plan and to detail all the circumstances that the campus would respond to in the event of an emergency. But Fisher said she finds it hard to pass the knowledge on to students, especially when it comes to active-shooter situations. “I am quite sure that everyone on campus values the importance of preparedness and that they want to make sure everyone’s safe,” Fisher said. “I think the whole concept of safety, security and all these awareness things are really important. But again if you look at all the things faculty are taxed with providing, they’ve only got those 16 weeks.” Fisher said there is a template that faculty are not required to use, but can. The template outlines what faculty should include when talking about active shooters with students, Fisher said. “It’s a full page of emergency procedures, which I think is fantastic. I don’t know, however, if that is ever covered when a faculty member goes through the syllabus. They’re thinking of the academics part of it,” she said. Erica Espino, recent CSUF business administration graduate, said she was unaware of the current Shelter In Place student protocol that the CSU system stresses. The protocol highlights the safety procedures to take during dangerous situations such as when a person has a weapon, according to the CSUF website. In the event of an active-shooter situation where Titans cannot escape, it’s recommended by CSUF Campus Emergency Preparedness that students and faculty remain calm and organize as quickly as possible. The website tells the campus community to first lock and barricade the door then turn off the lights and hide from the door’s line of sight. If the shooter does enter the classroom, students must be ready to engage and disorient the attacker with thrown objects, while a small number of individuals rush to overwhelm and disarm the shooter.

Guns: CSUF stresses safety education

“I think I had a professor mention once after there was a major shooting elsewhere. But they talked about (preparedness) during the lecture after (the shooting),” she said. Espino said she felt going over emergency protocols was necessary for a campus with so many students and that “it’s a safety precaution to go over it.” Captain Scot Willey of the University Police department also talked about the problem with pushing those types of situational trainings. “[Professors] are so spread out, it’s harder to get a big group of faculty together to do

that,” he said. “But we’re gradually getting the word out. Some people don’t want to talk about it and we understand that, but for us, we want to talk about it; we want to get that out there, we want to at least have the discussion,” Willey said. CSUF facilitates several active-shooter trainings on campus as well as courses for anyone who requests it, small scale to large scale, Willey said. Willey said the department realized they had to find a new protocol to prepare for potential gun threats. “We send in the medical team hat’s surrounded by police officers,” Willey said.

“So if a shooter’s not on a floor, we’re getting the firefighters in to that floor to care for those people, and we’re providing protection for them while they take care of the people that are wounded or shot.” In 1976, a mass shooting occurred on CSUF campus when Edward Allaway, a CSUF custodian, opened fire in Pollak Library and left seven dead and two injured, according to a Daily Titan article. “It did happen here. It can happen here,” Fisher said. Fisher said CSUF is open to the public and that’s what makes the university so inclusive. “It’s vulnerable and challenging, but on the other hand, you

hope that’s the kind of world we live in.” “That you want it to be open, that you don’t want to feel like you’re putting up gates,” Fisher said. Regardless of the campus’ recent track record, Fisher said the education of emergency situations is important. “I still think that we should arm our students with the knowledge and the techniques so that if an incident happens you know what to do,” Fisher said. “I think the key is, there is information out there. It’s just like with anything, if you don’t know something is there, then it doesn’t exist.”

Confronting an active-shooter situation can depend heavily on bystander reaction, according to Willey. “Once these shooters are attacked or confronted and somebody goes after them (the shooting) is usually over immediately,” Willey said. While Fisher said active-shooter training is not required in regular classroom procedures, Willey said the police department extends its resources and offers its guidance. “Whoever wants it, we’ll train them. We’re trying to get people to think like we do, which is, this may happen and we need to be ready to respond,” Willey said.

College students face food insecurity Hunger problems can have a negative affect on academics. SAMMY JONES Staff Writer

The number of food-insecure students has been rising across college campuses throughout the nation due to rising tuition costs and students choosing to skip meals to help their wallet, according to a Trends in College Pricing College Board report. The report defines a food-insecure student as any student without reliable access to affordable, nutritious food. Victoria Rodriguez, a Cal State Fullerton student, said she spends most of her paycheck on rent, leaving her little money to spend on food. “I have to make sure that I have enough money for rent before I can decide how much I can spend on my grocery money,” Rodriguez said. Tuition prices at public fouryear institutions have increased between 1987 to 2017, according to a 2017 study by College Board, a not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. In 1987, tuition fees and room and board totaled $3,190 per academic year. In 2017, students in four-year public institutions averaged $9,970 per academic year. Thirty-two percent of students believed that hunger or housing problems had an impact on their education, according to a 2016 study done by College and University Food Bank Alliance and National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness. State legislators are making efforts to ease the student hunger problem. In Feb. 2018, California introduced the SB-1275 bill, which

DANIELLE EVANGELISTA / DAILY TITAN

would reimburse public universities that provide student meal plans at no cost to Cal Grant students who attend school more than part-time, according to National Conference of State Legislatures, an organization that aims to improve and promote state legislature and policy. The bill is aimed toward students who receive financial aid in an effort to help them gain reliable access to a balanced meal, according to a report by the National Conference of State Legislatures. According to the bill, the reimbursement equals the sum of money a student would need to purchase a meal plan that would provide the student with at least 10 meals a week. The number

Jamie Sheehan, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services, said she agrees with Kanel, and it would be helpful if the school were to receive more funding to bring on more therapists. However, Sheehan said even if the bill gets passed, CSUF would still only be equipped for shortterm counseling of students. “Yes, it would be helpful. But, we would still be having to do the same thing where it would be short-term counseling here because we have so many students. If that bill passes and we get to double our staff, (that’s) 40 counselors per 40 thousand (students); that’s still hard to achieve,” Sheehan said. Kanel said waitlist periods have been a barrier to students receiving counseling and some of her students have been told that there is a three-to-six week waiting list simply because “they don’t have enough counselors to service everybody.” Sheehan said that, currently,

the Counseling and Psychological Services is fully booked for the next two weeks, but during the waiting period students that cannot be seen are made aware of the health center’s Wellness Workshops. The workshops address the top three reasons why students need counseling: stress, anxiety and mood management. “We encourage them to go through those series of workshops, because right off the bat they’re going to gain so many tools and skills that, when they come in for their assessment, they might already be a little bit better (saying) ‘Hey, actually I was able to manage some of my stress by going to that workshop,’” Sheehan said. Sheehan said there will be a new therapist starting in October and more clinicians will be recruited later this fall. “We know that providing counseling services for students does help with retention rates, which helps them with their graduation. I think that’s why we’re here on campus,” Thomas said.

given varies on specific campus meal plan costs. In April, the Wisconsin HOPE Lab released the results from a survey involving food insecurity among students at two-year and four-year institutions. The “Still Hungry and Homeless in College” project by the HOPE Lab is the largest national survey assessing the basic needs security of university students, according to the survey. The survey found that 46 percent of 2-year college students and 40 percent of four-year students could not afford to eat balanced meals. Thirty-seven percent of community college students and 29 percent of four-year students said the food they bought didn’t last

them long enough, and they didn’t have the money to get more. The Gastronome offers CSUF students five different meal plans. All-access plans are only good for the semester, and the block plans expire at the end of the academic year. The seven-day all-access plan grants students unlimited meals, but costs $1,829.74, according to the Gastronome website. Students looking for a cheaper alternative can purchase the 60-block plan or a 30-block plan. The 60-block plan is set at $584.48 and includes 60 meals. The 30-block plan is the Gastronome’s cheapest offer at $328.57, providing a student with 30 meals, according to the Gastronome website.

Another option for students is Uber Eats. Uber Eats is a downloadable phone application that has partnered with hundreds of restaurants. A student can order food from a restaurant, type in their address and a nearby Uber partner will go to the restaurant to pick up the food and deliver it to the student, according to the application description. Claire Kaneko, a Cal State Fullerton student, said she limits herself from going out to eat with her friends in order to save money. “Most of my friends like going out,” Kaneko said. “I don’t want to go out and spend more money; I end up skipping on going to get food.”

“It’s about Acceptance.” • We need to accept that mental health challenges come in many forms and that it can affect anyone. • One in ﬁve American adults experienced a mental health issue.

Review: Fall TV Review: Putting the ‘OK’ in poke shows to watch Hibachi-San is new to the TSU food court but the food is mediocre. ANTONIO LOPEZ Staff Writer

ANITA HUOR / DAILY TITAN

Many programs are being renewed, some more exciting than others. MEGAN GARCIA Sports Editor

A week after the 70th annual primetime Emmy awards, where television’s best were awarded for excellence, a vast majority of shows are returning or debuting this week. It’s vital to know what to watch and when to watch it as an excuse to avoid responsibilities. Even though streaming services were the biggest winners during the Emmy’s, broadcast networks still offer enjoyable television. Cancel your plans “This Is Us” (Sept. 25): The most exciting moments in the second season finale were toward the end, when a teenager smashed a baseball bat into a car and flashforwards show what’s next in the upcoming season. Heartbreaks, revelations and laughs are common threads in the Emmy-nominated show, but it changes depending on who sews the threads. Kevin Pearson (Justin Hartley) provided a surprise subplot last season with his addiction to alcohol and painkillers. Kevin’s addiction eerily mirrored his late father’s, Jack Pearson, from decades prior. While the family-drama show includes two actors who have won Emmy’s for their roles, the third season sheds light on the actors who haven’t been recognized for their work. In an interview with People, Milo Ventimiglia said the new season will explore Jack’s tour in the Vietnam war. The backstories of two spouses of the Big Three (the nickname for the trio of siblings on the show) will also be revealed as the show explores new storylines. Regardless of its faults, the show is a cliffhanger that can make commercial breaks unbearable. “Grey’s Anatomy” (Sept. 27): In its 15th season, the medical drama shows no signs of slowing down. After declining ratings for a couple seasons, “Grey’s Anatomy” is back on top. The departure of two significant characters made room for new storylines. Those new plots shown in a season trailer quickly bundled the show’s vintage antics, such as new doctors with surprise pregnancies, and unexpected affairs. The return of Krista Vernoff as co-showrunner advanced “Grey’s Anatomy” storyline redemption. In-depth stories and natural progressions in the last two seasons revived the show from its grave. A decade-and-a-half into its run seems like a blink of an eye with well-timed humor and seasoned actors. But the culprit for the show’s revival was a focus shift to the characters who were the show’s focal point in its early success. While some characters have died along the way, fans’ love for the show lives on. “The Simpsons” (Sept. 30): VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

It’s not a coincidence that a cartoon with yellow characters is in its 30th season. The first episode of this season doesn’t hold back from the show’s usual dilemmas: A cover-up story about an accident goes awry when Homer Simpson accepts an offer to make a movie. While many of the situations are impractical, the Simpsons have kept audiences entertained for decades. Its season debut doesn’t seem to be be any different, especially with guest voices Gal Gadot and Jonathan Groff. Stream it later “The Conners” (Oct. 16): After a racist tweet by Roseanne Barr regarding a former White House aid, ABC cancelled the revival of “Roseanne.” The sitcom’s future was clear: It wasn’t returning regardless of its past large viewership. Weeks after the cancellation, ABC announced a spinoff show from the working-class family sitcom, only Barr would not be included. Regardless if you watched the original before its cancellation, it’s worth seeing how the spinoff addresses the absence of the family matriarch. “Modern Family” (Sept. 26): Once the epitome of sitcoms and with five consecutive Emmy wins, the show is in its final run. Its 11th season is in question. The show’s material hasn’t been fresh in years. The occasional laugh occurs but jokes fall flat and characters have lost their emotional depth. Some episodes still capture the show’s former magic but this is a program you’ll be playing in the background. Avoid it like your ex “The Resident” (Sept.24): Another medical drama, another show to avoid. The Fox drama ended its first season with 58 percent of critics positively reviewing the show, according to Rotten Tomatoes. In a lineup filled with medical shows, it can be easy to fly under the radar. Melodramatic doctors who think they are better than medicine can make a person wish they walked into a different hospital. “New Amsterdam” (Sept. 25): From one network to another, more surgical masks and scalpels are never enough, apparently. NBC’s new medical show will be its second for the 201819 season, and it doesn’t show much promise. An ill doctor trying to heal patients can tug at the heartstrings, but exaggerated acting and over-the-top songs make this show forgettable. CW’s superheroes - “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl” and “Legends of Tomorrow” (starting Oct. 9 through 22): Just like its struggle on the big screen, DC Entertainment fails to captivate an audience with superhero storytelling on the small screen. Storylines cross over from one show to the next, but timelines are impossible to understand. Mediocre acting, underwhelming computerized visuals and super suits that look like they came from a local Halloween store make these shows an easy pass.

Hibachi-San is a new restaurant at the Titan Student Union food court for students and faculty alike to eat at between breaks. A member of the Panda Restaurant Group, which is known for Panda Express, Hibachi-San separates itself from its fast-food cousin by offering Japanese poke bowls. These bowls are offered in small to large sizes, each one offering more protein than the bowl before. Hibachi-San is similar to Panda Express because customers build their own dishes with a choice of a rice or salad base, hot or cold proteins, toppings and sauce. I ordered a small bowl consisting of sushi rice, grilled salmon, Spam, edamame, ginger, fried onion and seaweed salad with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. The bowl was paired with a drink and a side order of miso soup. The total comes out to $14.01, which is more expensive than some of the other options at the food court. However, considering the higher quality ingredients and free refills of miso soup, the price is justifiable. The miso soup is served hot in a small bowl with tofu and seaweed to offer more complexity. The tofu is so soft it nearly melts in the mouth, and the seaweed gives an extra layer of flavor to the broth. It’s a simple soup, but here simplicity works to its favor; the soup is comforting and delicious, easy to drink yet something to savor alongside the bowl. The bowl itself has many ingredients, so each one should be tested on its

own merit before seeing how all the flavors mix together. The fried Spam has a meaty, salty flavor, and the grilled salmon has a restrained taste but lacks some seasoning to bring out the full potential of flavor. Together, they give a great surf-and-turf vibe to the bowl. Hibachi-San’s shrimp rice is soft and steamy, and though its purpose is to be a filler it has a hint of lemon throughout to keep it from being bland. The green edamame brings color to the bowl but the flavor gets buried beneath the other ones within the dish. Meanwhile, the fried onion gives a bit of crunch and bitterness to the bowl but isn’t too overpowering. Ginger is the most unique of the toppings, with a sour and

sweet taste, as well as a mild heat to elevate the flavor. The seaweed salad is fresh and provides texture to go against the softness of the rice and meats. With all these unique flavors, one would expect the bowl to be great but the ingredients all fight with one another. Some go well together, like the salmon and spam. Others like the ginger and seaweed are too strong and overpower much of the other toppings. Hibachi-San is a unique addition to the Titan Student Union, but the higher price tag and unbalanced tastes can put off students wanting to try something new. It might be a worthwhile choice for those that love Japanese cuisine, but as of now it’s too much of a good thing.

Stop letting rappers get away with sexism Misogynistic musicians don’t deserve fans.

ALYSSA LOPEZ Opinion Editor

It’s a troubling reality that most rappers still have a thriving career. From their seemingly flagrant misogynistic behaviors to the sexist music they create, rappers get away with way too much because of fans who continue to support and glorify their careers. With the passing of artist XXXTentacion, reactions from fans were seemingly heartfelt. Tweets about the artist’s career suggest he left behind an exceptional collection of music. But XXXTentacion does not deserve the admiration he is still receiving, no matter how good or appealing his music was. The gruesome things he did in his personal life far outweigh anything produced in his professional career. In a testimony obtained by Pitchfork, XXXTentacion’s ex-girlfriend said he threatened her life multiple times, and in

one incident he threatened to put a “barbecue cleaner” and a “barbecue fork” into her vagina. According to Vulture, “... he threatened to kill her and her unborn child before elbowing, punching, and kicking her.” XXXTentacion was “... charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and witness tampering,” according to Vulture. Despite his domestic violence charges, during June 2017 the rapper appeared on the XXL’s Freshman Class cover being the 10th spot winner, which is the only spot that fans choose. It is shocking and honestly disappointing that someone who had serious charges against them would still gain such popularity. Audiences need to question who these artists are as people and whether they deserve the time and money that fans spend to see them. Problematic behavior can not be ignored or disregarded just because someone makes music others admire. If people purposely ignore the danger that artists pose to other people in their personal lives, then the victims or people harmed by them will never get any kind of justice. Artists who display this kind of behavior need to be held accountable for their actions. Fans who ignore the problem become part of the problem. Artists need to know that

making good music doesn’t give them a pass to say and do anything without consequence. For example, Kanye West often creates songs that represent misogynistic views. He frequently uses profane terms in his lyrics and social media posts. According to West, women should interpret the word b--- as a term of endearment. No, this word is not an endearig term — not even if sung in a hip-hop song.

With ongoing campaigns that aim to empower women, like the Women’s March and the #MeToo movement, making claims such as the one that West did will only keep women down, making equality difficult to attain. It’s not alright to twist a word that clearly has a derogatory meaning into a sweet sentiment when used in hip-hop music. Despite examples of misogyny like this one, many people

still support West. Everyone has the choice to decide what kind of people they want to support. An artist can simultaneously make good music and at the same time be an egregious person, undeserving of fans’ acceptance. It is important that people think deeply about who the artist really is as a person before casting them in such a flattering light.

Cal State Fullerton volleyball will travel to Cal State Bakersfield on Tuesday for its secondto-last nonconference game of the season. The Titans (6-9, 0-3 Big West) have lost their last eight games, six of which in three sets. The

Roadrunners (8-6, 2-0 Western Athletic) are the reigning Western Athletic Conference Tournament Champions and have won their last five games as they go undefeated at home this season. CSUF struggled to block outside hitters in its first three games in conference. Cal State Northridge’s Aeryn Owens, Cal Poly SLO’s Torrey Van Winden and UC Santa Barbara’s Lindsey Ruddins combined for 44 kills with a .409 kill percentage.

Fullerton outside hitter Felicia Marshall said it taught them how to play against teams with dominant outside hitters. “I think some of us weren’t really prepared for what was going to happen. I think these couple of teams with outside hitters really helped us see what we need to do to get better,” Marshall said. Bakersfield outside hitters Briannah Mariner (2.22) and Desiree Sukhov (2.23) have combined for 4.45 kills per set this season. In the Western

Athletic conference, neither rank in the top 20 for that stat. Ruddins (5.54) and Van Winden (4.88) average more kills per set on their own and Owens (4.20) almost matches that total. In their last game against Santa Barbara, the Titans struggled in serve receive and allowed 10 aces. Sukhov is second in the conference with .42 aces per set. The Roadrunners excel in defensive statistics. Libero Krista Hernandez averages

the third-most digs per set (4.67) in the Western Athletic conference. Middle blockers Brooke Boiseau (1.15) and Mattison DeGarmo (1.04) sit in second and fourth for blocks per set. Titans outside hitter Maddie Schneider leads the team in kills with 178, which ranks sixth in the Big West. Tuesday’s game starts at 7 p.m. in the Icardo Center.
