Cal State Fullerton is the second CSU to become an approved part of the Healthier Campus Initiative and has created an advisory group called the Wellness Council.

CSUF joined the initiative on May 3, according to Partnership for a Healthier America, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that runs the nationwide program.

On Monday, the university began hosting Healthy Campus Week, as part of the Healthier Campus Initiative.

The nonpartisan, nonprofit group aims to encourage “greater physical activity and healthier eating habits” among college students, said Tracy Bryars, manager

at the St. Jude Medical Center for the Healthy Communities Initiative.

The Healthier Campus Initiative is just one part of the Partnership for a Healthier America, an organization dedicated to fighting childhood obesity that partners with Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign.

“We are very excited because Cal State Fullerton has committed to enhancing the health and wellness environment of the campus.

In 1998, the Cal State Fullerton chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity received several different complaints including someone firing a handgun, an alleged rape, 700 people partying on the street and a bottle rocket setting fire to a neighboring roof, according to 1998 Fullerton City Council meeting minutes.

The fraternity received 13 noise complaints in a six-month period for several parties, according to a 2011 Daily Titan article.

After 20 years of operating off campus, the CSUF chapter is attempting to return to campus.

The Interfraternity Council, who governs and promotes relations between the different fraternities and the greater campus community, will have the final say in November, said Chris Osmond, the current president of the fraternity’s Fullerton chapter.

Pumpkin patch partners with Sanrio

Tanaka Farms in Irvine shows that Halloween doesn’t have to be scary.

ANGELINA DEQUINA Lifestyle Editor

Hello Kitty and her friends harvested happiness on the first day of fall at the Tanaka Farms’ annual pumpkin patch in Irvine on Saturday.

The unique pumpkin patch was born out of a collaboration between Sanrio, the creators of Hello Kitty, and Tanaka Farms, an Irvine-based family farm.

The sun shone brightly as animated guests of all ages marveled at a myriad of displays.

A real-life Hello Kitty made a special one-time appearance in the early hours of the event.

Those who missed her are not entirely out of luck, however, as she remains enshrined in different sections of the farm.

Throughout the pumpkin patch, cardboard Hello Kitty and friends can be seen posing as they welcomes guests into a sunflower field, drive a tractor and pick vegetables in the fields.

Five different types of pumpkins are available to pluck from the vast farm. Tanaka Farms also provides guests with a list of pumpkin names and characteristics, like “a good dessert pumpkin” or the pumpkins’ weight on average.

On the list are two pumpkins named Cinderella and Porcelain Doll — but this is only a fraction of the quirky pumpkins guests can encounter.

After choosing a novelty pumpkin, guests will have plenty of opportunities for Instagram-worthy photo-ops to capture memorable moments on the 30-acre piece of land.

pumpkins adorn the back ends of the patch.

For Rae Straub, a visitor of the event, going to the pumpkin patch was a pleasant reminder of Connecticut, her home

state.

Straub said she moved to California a year ago. Ever since, she’s been on the hunt for a farm that’s isolated from the city. Her love for Hello Kitty

and yearning for a place like home led her to Tanaka Farms’ pumpkin patch.

Municipal codes can confuse transients

WENDY CHAVEZ / DAILY TITAN

Every Thurday, the Placentia Presbyterian Church provides a soup kitchen meal from 5:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Codes vary in shelters and cities, which can cause individuals to mistake rules.

WENDY CHAVEZ Staff Writer

Homeless individuals in Orange County often confuse respective city codes and best practice policies within shelters, said Curtis Gamble, a 58-year-old activist.

Best practice policies are unofficial shelter rules that are widely accepted as procedure because they’ve proven to be effective in the past. These policies vary among shelters and do not always follow city code.

Gamble, a former homeless individual, attended a Sept. 18 Fullerton city council meeting regarding the appointment of a community advisory board

member for Bridges at Kraemer Place, a 24-hour emergency homeless shelter facility in the city of Anaheim that serves homeless single men and single women in the North Orange County area.

Homeless shelters like Bridges at Kraemer Place, have come to adapt best practice procedures.

In Anaheim, shelters must admit people on a first-come, firstserve basis, according to the city’s municipal code. However, Fullerton’s municipal code does not explicitly state how people are admitted.

According to the City of Fullerton website, municipal codes are rules that are designed to protect citizens from health and safety hazards and establish the uses permitted in certain neighborhoods.

Fullerton municipal code also states that there must be a

minimum of eight parking spots for bicycles available at emergency shelters, while the Anaheim municipal code says that bicycle racks must be provided by the facility but does not list the specific amount of spots required.

Gamble said codes should be consistent with other cities and shelters to prevent individuals from unknowingly making mistakes. For homeless people traveling from place to place, Gamble said distinguishing between the two can be difficult.

“I’m looking for awareness just as much as consistency of the codes,” he said.

University Police Captain Scot Willey said most homeless people are not moving around every day, usually they stay in the same area and will learn what the rules are for their local shelter quickly.

At times when codes are unclear, transients may face police

“Best practice (policies) work well in the office setting when you come up with the idea, but it doesn’t work that well when you’re out there in the streets and you’re faced with the police officers who don’t know anything about it,” Gamble said. “The worst scenario is that it ends up being like a Kelly Thomas situation.”

Kelly Thomas was a homeless man who was killed in a parking lot at the Fullerton Transportation Center after a confrontation with police officers in 2011.

Providing more transparent information to transients is another challenge police officers face, Willey said.

“How do you do that to a population that is literally transient, they’re moving from one place to

another. You never really know who’s coming and going, that’s a huge challenge,” Willey said.

Ruth Cho, outreach coordinator for H.I.S. House, a Homeless Intervention Transitional Shelter and House in Placentia, said people who work with homeless people need to be well-versed in the resources offered to them.

“In emergency shelters, some of those workers are young kids.

They’re just working in a job where they don’t know about these resources,” Cho said.

When this occurs, Cho said homeless people lose faith in the system.

“Ultimately the worst thing that happens from clients leaving emergency shelters is that they don’t trust the system anymore,” Cho said. “They don’t want to work with the system so they choose to be homeless because they’ve tried it.”

TKE: CSUF chapter wants to be acknowleged CONTINUED FROM

CSUF Student Affairs placed the fraternity on a 6-month probation in 1998, but within the year they violated that probation and were removed from the Interfraternity Council.

However, the national fraternity still recognized the Fullerton branch, according to a 1998 Daily Titan article. “(The national fraternity) said, ‘You can still operate as a chapter,’ but the school said ‘You won’t be recognized by CSUF.’ There was kind of a schism there. We’re like the child of two divorced parents kind of, because we operate independently from the school, but (the national fraternity) said we can keep our charter,” said Jesse Rodriguez, former vice chair and secretary of the CSUF Associated Students’ board of directors and Tau Kappa Epsilon alumnus.

The school made it clear that they would be willing to negotiate with the fraternity if it agreed to a 10-year cease and desist period, which would mean no action of any kind for 10 years.

The fraternity decided not to, due to the fact that its charter was still upheld nationally and continued to operate separately from CSUF, Rodriguez said.

In 2008, the fraternity started looking into returning to campus.

“It’s been 10 years. At that point, there’s been a lot of turnover in members, nobody really remembers what happened. Their idea was, ‘Hey, it’s been 10 years, we can get back on,’” Rodriguez said about the 2008 attempt.

Over the next several years, the idea of trying to come back to

campus was still around, but no one was moving for it, Rodriguez said.

“The chapter was fairly small, but there was never a set plan,” he said. “There wasn’t much guidance from (Tau Kappa Epsilon’s) national organization in terms of what we could do.”

The first major steps forward came with Rodriguez’s own work with Associated Students.

“I really got to know how the university worked. It inspired me to take the initiative to lead this campaign for us to get back on,” Rodriguez said.

The fraternity and CSUF finally made an agreement in the fall of 2017.

The fraternity would suspend all activity for the spring semester, and in the fall of 2018 they would be allowed back on campus to recruit, but only after all other fraternities had finished their recruitment, Rodriguez said.

Osmond said he has been overseeing both the cease and desist period as well as the process of recruitment this fall.

“We’re just trying to prove ourselves as a chapter that can benefit the school,” Osmond said. “We’ve been meeting with the leadership from other organizations. I guess you can call it lobbying for votes, but we’re finding out what they want from us, what they’re looking for in another fraternity, and what we can provide to that community.”

Later this fall, the Interfraternity Council will vote on whether or not Tau Kappa Epsilon can return to campus.

All eight fraternities will have a vote in the final decision, Osmond said.

California remains a sanctuary state

President Donald Trump can not withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities.

ANTONIO LOPEZ Staff Writer

On Aug. 1 the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision found that President Donald Trump’s January 2017 executive order was unconstitutional.

The decision stated that the legislative branch of Congress has the exclusive spending power to create conditions for federal grants, not the executive branch, according to the court document.

The 2017 executive order withheld federal funds from sanctuary cities that did not cooperate with federal authorities like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Cities in Orange County were divided on how to respond to Trump’s executive order that would sue the state over its sanctuary city laws, which went into effect Oct. 5, 2017 when Gov. Jerry Brown approved SB-54.

Several cities, such as Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Orange, sided with the president, while many others declined to take a stance. Santa Ana decided in favor of being a sanctuary city.

The court’s decision in San Francisco v. Trump challenged the president’s executive order stating: “The president’s attempt to exercise authority through a lineitem veto was deemed unconstitutional as antithetical to that ‘finely wrought’ legislative process committed to Congress by the Constitution,” according to the court document.

Blake Hardnett, fourth-year Cal State Fullerton business major, said the government has mistakenly focused on immigration as an issue contributing to a lack of jobs instead of Trump’s current economic policies, which have affected the job sector most.

Hardnett said he defends immigrants who seek sanctuary cities.

“I would say America is a place that people have always come to and I think that we should stand by that. I think we’ve always accepted immigrants, so we should keep on accepting immigrants,”

Hardnett said.

The Center for Immigration Studies website provides a map of cities, counties and states that identify as having sanctuary-like policies.

Wellness: Titans advised to eat right CONTINUED FROM

The Healthier Campus Initiative is just one part of the Partnership for a Healthier America, an organization dedicated to fighting childhood obesity that partners with Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign.

“We are very excited because Cal State Fullerton has committed to enhancing the health and wellness environment of the campus.

They’re already involved in many healthy campus activities and policies, but this is just to kind of move it to the next level,” Bryars said.

TitanWell is a health services organization at CSUF responsible for the promotion of healthy choices and behaviors on campus. TitanWell and St. Jude were some of the sponsors for the activities during health week that were used to educate students about on-campus wellness and belonging.

Rethink Your Drink was one of the activities run by St. Jude on Tuesday. It was designed to educate people about the leading source of added sugar in one’s diet, Bryars said.

Instead of opting for beverages with added sugar, Bryars said people could choose water or milk as a healthier choice.

The goal is to encourage individual commitment to add more fruits and vegetables to their plates, said Melissa Arvizu, coordinator for the Move More, Eat Healthy Campaign.

Over the next three years, the council’s goal is to complete 23 VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

specific campus commitments to ensuring healthier choices in nutrition and physical activity, along with expanded health-awareness programming, said Laura Chandler, assistant professor in the department of health sciences.

Healthy Campus Week is only one part of the Healthier Campus Initiative programming, said Chandler.

“A lot of students face different barriers that can actually lead to low food security. Low food security can actually lead to things like lower GPA because students are not able to concentrate in class (because) they may not be getting enough sleep or enough energy throughout the day,” said Kathryn Marx, a health science major and peer health educator for TitanWell.

For students struggling to pay for healthy food, TitanWell offers several advice flyers and grocery store “hacks” to promote an affordable, healthy lifestyle.

The group also ran a guessing game, Price Tastes Right, which showed students that eating out can be more expensive than eating homemade meals, Marx said.

“We know, as far as students go, many of their lifestyle behaviors that they start now will (probably) continue through their adulthood,” Chandler said. “So if we can intervene and get them to adopt healthy behaviors now, especially with regards to eating and activity, they’re more likely to carry those behaviors into adulthood and live a healthy, long life.”

This program has several

resources, such as counseling, referrals to legal experts and financial aid opportunities for students in need, according to the Titan Dreamers Resource Center website.

Coordinator Martha Zavala Perez of the Titan Dreamers Resource Center said she manages day-to-day activities at the center and offers in-person support to students looking for advice on how to navigate legal issues.

She said the goal of the Titan Dreamers Resource Center is “... for undocumented students on campus to know that they are supported and valued here.”

Perez said legal assistance is mostly provided off campus, as the resource center’s staff does not include attorneys. However,

they do offer referrals for reputable organizations and professionals that are able to assist students and sometimes they are able to bring them to campus free of charge for students, Perez said.

“One of our big events is an immigration legal clinic, where we bring the resources on campus so that undocumented students can ask those questions to an expert,” Perez said.

In the fall of 2016, CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White released and reaffirmed a memo, stating the CSU system will support its undocumented students.

“We stand by our students and when you are here you are a Titan first,” Perez said.

‘iridescence’ shys away from ‘Saturation’

Boy band Brockhampton releases first album under new record label.

NATHAN NGUYEN Asst. News Editor

Brockhampton’s iridescence signals fresh start for group.

End of saturation era.

After releasing three albums in 2017, self-proclaimed American boy band Brockhampton has remained relatively quiet in 2018. After teasing a new album for the past nine months and putting out three singles, they finally released “iridescence,” their fourth studio album.

The 14-member rap collective operated independently under its own label, Question Everything, Inc. but signed with the Radio Corporation of America in March of this year, according to Billboard.

Breaking away from the independent style of producing songs out of their bedrooms, this is Brockhampton’s first album produced under a major record label, according to Billboard.

So far, “iridescence” has received mainly positive reviews and has been streamed over 20 million times on Spotify.

Brockhampton recorded “iridescence” over the span of 10 days at the Abbey Road Studios in London.

“We kept making music before this album and it all felt kind of similar to stuff that we’ve made before,” said lead member Kevin Abstract during an interview with BBC. “iridescence” is a “lustrous rainbow-like play of color caused by differential refraction of light waves that tends to change as the angle of view changes,” according to Merriam

Webster dictionary. The album cover depicts member Matt Champion pregnant with the colors thermally distorted.

“Pressure makes me lash back, wish I could get past that” raps Joba on “Weight.” The song exemplifies the burden the band has faced under constant scrutiny from the public.

Joba closes the 4 minute and 20 second long track singing “Sippin on my pain, smoking on my pain.”

“District” begins with a string interlude interrupted by sirens and member Joba saying “Praise God hallelujah, I’m still depressed.” Many of Brockhampton’s songs reveal the members’ struggles despite achieving fame and glory.

The song ends with steady strums from a guitar, adding a calm presence amid the chaotic tune of the rest of the track.

The group incorporates many traditional instruments throughout “iridescence,” its most since “Quiver,” an unreleased song.

“I hate writers, I hate tweets, I hate journalists,” said Abstract on “Tape,” confessing his struggle with others’ perception and criticisms of him and Brockhampton.

Brockhampton traces its roots on “San Marcos,” where all the band members began collaborating. The song feels a bit like a country ballad with orchestral elements, bringing out the members’ Texan roots.

The outro features the London Community Gospel Choir all harmonizing “I want more out of life than this, I want more, I want more.”

“Tonya” epitomizes the group’s struggle with fame and being in the spotlight. “I’ll trade fame any day for a quiet Texas place and a barbecue plate,” Abstract said.

This track references Tonya

Brockhampton faced a scandal earlier this year, as member Ameer Vann was exiled from the band due to sexual abuse allegations that surfaced. Vann was featured on the cover of “Saturation II” and “Saturation III,” and was a founding member of Brockhampton.

The “Saturation” era is officially over however, and “iridescence” is a signal of rebirth for the group.

Brockhampton has been compared to groups such as Odd Future, the A$AP Mob, and even One Direction, but they have their own identity. An oft dysfunctional mix of characters that seemingly fit together perfectly; Brockhampton has delivered a fresh mix of

“I think what’s different about our pumpkin patch is that we’re not a parking lot full of pumpkins,” Eileen Sagara, coordinator of the pumpkin patch said.

“It’s a great meeting place for the community.”

Traditional pumpkin patch events like petting zoos and carnival games are present, but are not the highlight of the winsome event.

Some guests opted to ride in the old-fashioned wagon that gave them a tour of the entire patch, while others were drawn to the corn maze.

The patch also has a marketplace where guests can purchase limited edition pins and plushies of Hello Kitty, as well as bread and mini pumpkins.

Sagara said these events are a third of the farm’s business since it cannot fully support itself with the revenue from its produce.

Tanaka Farms is owned and operated by the Tanaka family, whose great grandfather immigrated to California from Hiroshima.

Their agricultural business moved to Irvine in 1998, where they have since continued to provide special events to the community, according to the Tanaka Farms website.

Sagara said Sanrio approached Tanaka Farms because of its positive reputation in the community.

Originally, the event was stationed in Hong Kong and after its commercial success, Sanrio wanted to try the concept in California. According to Daily Breeze, Sanrio is now headquartered in El Segundo.

Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Hello Kitty and her friends will be passing through Tanaka Farms until Oct. 31 and will reappear in November for the Christmas season.

It employs the support of an ideology of strong, independent women.

However, as I work my way from early twenties into my mid-twenties, I am no longer fit or skinny.

Despite these outward strugKORRYN SANCHEZ Layout Editor gles, I’m constantly working to convince myself that even I have never struggled more though I no longer fall within with confidence than I have in the boundaries of this beauty the past three years.

I am still beautiful.

I know that as I have grown older, I’ve also grown wiser. I have begun to understand the unrealistic beauty standards that women are held to.

Beauty companies are trying to sell their products through models in fashion magazines, within the late-20th century, the definition of a beautiful woman has often been described as skinny.

There may not be models with unproportioned curves and tummies that roll when they sit, but that does not mean that it’s not beautiful to have imperfections — to be perfectly imperfect.

However, it does mean that it will be harder to convince women of their own beauty.

The average size pants that an American woman wears is a size 16 or 18, but the biggest

size most companies allow their models to be is a size two, according to a 2016 article from the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education.

Recently, companies have been promoting body positive campaigns: The Dove self-esteem campaign recognizes that not all body types are represented in media and as a result, women experience anxiety about their appearance.

Everyone looks to popular media to see what is fashionable, what is favorable and uses it as guidance for their own style.

Though the self-esteem campaign presented by Dove is great, and a huge step in the right direction, there are not enough of its type in the media to undo the biases and

insecurities that have already been in place.

As I’ve grown more self-confident about myself, I have found that I typically am my most confident self when I stay away from social media, and allow myself to dress in the type of clothes that I actually like, rather than trying to be sexy or fashionable.

The truth is that there is beauty in each individual. It doesn’t matter what your body type is: short, tall, skinny, fat, wide hips, small waist. It’s all beautiful.

Even though I am still becoming more confident in my body, I’ve realized that it is not up to pop culture to represent what is beautiful and what is not. We need to remember to remind each other and ourselves of our worth, and our beauty.

No clear consensus on paying student-athletes

One of the most widely debated topics in sports is still without change.

SAMMY JONES Staff Writer

Dedrique Taylor, Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball head coach, said he doesn’t believe that student-athletes should be paid, but he does think they should receive higher compensation from the NCAA. “We have cost of attendance that’s related to where you live.

We also have scholarships, which again is related to where you live and how expensive it is to go to your school, but I think they can maybe create some type of percentage off of the NCAA Tournament,” Taylor said.

Student-athletes are often required to perform at a high level, which hopefully leads their universities to prestigious accolades and national attention.

They are asked to accomplish these feats while putting in hours similar to a part-time employee.

A main topic discussed by these athletes, the fans and the media is that the NCAA refuses to compensate athletes based on their contribution to the NCAA’s sharing revenue, despite grueling schedules and non-stop physical activity six or seven days of the week.

According to CNN Media, the NCAA extended a TV deal with Turner Broadcasting and CBS Sports that was originally agreed upon in 2010 for $10.8 billion. The extension adds another eight years onto the contract, keeping the championship game on those networks until 2032.

The biggest aspect of the deal: Turner and CBS Sports will pay the NCAA $8.8 billion for the additional years.

The NCAA made $771 million during the 2018 March Madness tournament, where 64 of the best college basketball teams compete for the national championship, according to NPR.

CHRISTINA ACEDO / DAILY TITAN

In 2017, the NCAA generated $1 billion from television marketing rights and athletic championships/tournaments, according to SB Nation.

In expense sheets shared with SB Nation, the NCAA spent all but $103 million of the 2017 earnings. $560,034,866 went to Division 1 schools as distribution payments.

Coaches of the universities have received massive contracts that stem from the money distributed from the NCAA, which is called supplemental compensation, according to athleticdirectoru.com, a website that covers niche topics such as collegiate business operations and compliance.

Urban Meyer, Ohio State University’s head football coach, is set to make $7.6 million this year after

FULLERTON: 215 N. Harbor Blv COSTA MESA (The LAB): 2930 Brid.

LONG BEACH: 4608 E. 2nd St. stol St. BUFFALOEXCHANGE.COM •

the university’s governing committee approved a two-year extension, according to USA Today.

Sports Illustrated reported that Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University’s head men’s basketball coach, is the highest paid college basketball coach in the country at $8.98 million a year.

Some universities have tried to find ways around the NCAA rules of paying student-athletes, but the punishments when caught can be severe.

The NCAA has handed out strict penalties to student-athletes and universities for receiving improper benefits.

Some of these sanctions include reducing the number of scholarships, bans on postseason competition, or in the worst-case scenario,

“the death penalty,” according to the NCAA. The death penalty refers to a punishment in which the university is banned from competing in a sport for at least one year.

The death penalty has its own four major sanctions for violators, which may lead to an entire staff’s resignation.

Mark Emmert, NCAA president, told CBS Sports he doesn’t see the NCAA ever paying athletes due to the idea of basketball and football eliminating other sports.

“I think the other issue is that if you were going to move into a model where you were just paying football and basketball athletes — at least that’s the argument that always comes forward — the way athletic departments are going to

do that is they’re going to eliminate other sports,” Emmert said to CBS. While Taylor and many fans believe there is a solution to paying collegiate athletes, Emmert said he doesn’t see a solution to the proposed problem anywhere in the near future.

Despite Emmert’s pessimism, Taylor is still hopeful that a clear method to compensate athletes will develop in the future.

“There are a lot of unanswered questions that I don’t have all the answers for, but I will stand pat to say that I do think there’s a way to share the revenue from the TV deal and some of the different ways the NCAA is making money off the student-athletes,” Taylor said.
