An earthquake simulator in the central Quad on Wednesday gave Titans a feel for the type of seismic movement that occurred during the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The earthquake resulted in 57 deaths, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Archives. “You can really get (a) sense o f how powerful it is and really how scary it is to actually experience an earthquake of that magnitude,” said Sue Fisher, Cal State F u l l e r t o n ’s emergency management coordinator. The simulator was a mobile trailer that mirrored the inside of a home, giving students, staff and faculty firsthand experience of what happens to unsecured

household possessions during a large earthquake. When an earthquake strikes, the main causes of death or injury are unsecured objects toppling over, collapsing walls, flying glass or people trying to move around during the shaking, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The mobile earthquake simulator was part of campus efforts to prepare students for potential earthquakes during Great ShakeOut Month, according to the campus emergency preparedness website. “When you sit in (the simulator) you realize how powerful an earthquake is. A 7.2 is probably in the range that we would expect from the San Andreas fault movement, but then again it could actually be more powerful than that,” Fisher said. “It really kind of puts it in perspective — the importance of preparedness.” Sinan Akciz, a CSUF geology professor, and some geology students set up maps showing areas in Orange County that are at risk for liquefaction.

Liquefaction occurs when soil loses its strength due to shaking from an earthquake. The space between the soil particles fills with water, increasing the water pressure and creating an unstable foundation. This phenomenon can result in landslides or the collapse of dams, according to the University of Washington website. “Normally when people think about earthquakes, they think about laying straight on the fault line and that would be the major disaster. It’s usually not directly the fault that is the result or the problem,” said Christian Concha, a geology major. Liquefied soil loses its density and ultimately the ability to support roads, buried pipes and houses. The liquefaction destabilizes foundations and causes sinking, according to Californ ia Earthquake Authority. As part of the event, the geology club set up a machine demonstrating how liquefaction works. “Liquefaction is something the general public is not really aware of and it’s a

concern in the Orange County area. We’re doing a public outreach to make people aware of that phenomenon,” Akciz said. Fisher said she helped organize the ShakeOut activities because students, staffand faculty need to know what to do to mitigate the dangers caused by earthquakes. This includes securing objects in homes, having a disaster plan, organizing emergency kits and considering earthquake-related insurance, according to California Earthquake Authority. “Being prepared for that is (of the) utmost importance because we want people not only to survive the earthquake, but to survive it well. That’s the key,” Fisher said. The ShakeOut activities will be followed by a campuswide Drop, Cover and Hold On! drill Oct. 17 at 10:10 a.m. and at 7:10 p.m. There will be no evacuations, according to the emergency preparedness center.

Dean makes CSUF his home Titans earn

Big West win

Mihaylo College’s Morteza Rahmatian came on as a professor at CSUF in 1988.

Men’s soccer secured its first conference victory of the season against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

ALEC CALVILLO Staff Writer

When Morteza Rahmatian finished his graduate degree in the United States, all he could think of was going back to his home country in Iran. But then a revolution happened, which caused him to prolong his hopes of going back, he said. “For 10 years I was hoping to go back, and after that, I realized the country is done,” Rahmatian said. “That country is dead. I still love it with all my heart, but unfortunately, it’s suffering right now.” Rahmatian is the recently appointed dean of Mihaylo College of Business and Economics at Cal State Fullerton. He has been dean since July and will serve a two-year term. “He’s doing a very good job because he works hard. He’s very sincere. He cares about the college, students and faculty. It’s a combination of all those facts that makes him a good dean,” said Rahmatian’s predecessor Anil Puri, now provost emeritus. His interest in environmental economics is how he ended up attending the University of Wyoming. Only a few schools had the program, and it was less than 10 years old when he became involved with it, he said. “When you go into the Ph.D. program you have to specialize in a particular field, and I loved environmental economics. So I thought, let me specialize in that field,” Rahmatian said. SEE MIHAYLO

Dean of Mihaylo continues teaching to teach campus because he said he enjoys it.

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer defeated Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 2-0 in its first win in Big West conference play this season on Wednesday at Titan Stadium. The Titans improved to 1-1-1 in the Big West while Cal Poly SLO remains winless at 0-2-1. “A shutout is fantastic, it’s a big statement defensively. Getting two goals is hard to overcome because they need to score three to win,” said Titans head coach George Kuntz. Midfielder Mark Hernandez scored his second goal of the season six minutes into the game. Samuel Goni’s shot attempt bounced off the goal post and Hernandez gathered it and put it away. Hernandez has scored in two of the last three games. “I don’t know if you’ve watched the last few games but he’s been kind of a possessed guy,” Kuntz said. “He’s not only intercepted passes but chased back and won balls off bigger guys, won knockdowns and kept defenders pinned to their positions.” Fullerton took a 2-0 lead in the 49th minute after midfielder Zico Bailey scored from 30 yards out thanks to a pass from midfielder Ross McPhie. The goal was Bailey’s first of his collegiate career. SEE SUCCESS 8 VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Proposition 2 addresses housing for homeless Voting yes on Proposition 2 creates 20,000 permanent supportive housing units. WILLIAM ROBBINS Staff Writer

Proposition 2 will decide if the current funding for the Mental Health Services Act will go to the No Place Like Home Program, according to the California Voter’s Guide. The Mental Health Services Act or Proposition 63, was an initiative passed in 2004 that allocated revenue from a 1 percent income tax increase on millionaires to mental health services, according to the State of California website. The No Place Like Home Program houses individuals with mental illnesses. The funding would go toward creating permanent-support housing for the homeless or at-risk homeless with mental illnesses. A yes vote on Proposition 2 will agree to allocate the funds toward the homeless program. A no vote will keep the funding as is and will continue to reserve that revenue for mental health services. The proposition will not raise taxes on residents of California, but aims to create 20,000 permanent-supportive housing units with staff and services across the counties, according to the California Voter’s Guide. Joe Albert Garcia, clinical psychologist and associate professor in the human services department at Cal State Fullerton, said that no matter what happens, homeless facilities are going to be needed in some neighborhoods that have a concentration of homeless individuals. “So the question is: Do you want (homeless individuals) who are already in your neighborhood where all the things you’re afraid of are more likely to happen? Or do you want them housed where it will be less likely to happen?” he said. An opposition to the proposal is that it can take up to 5.6 billion dollars away from direct mental health treatment and services for the targeted population, according to the California Voter’s Guide.

In the official opposing argument, leaders of the National Alliance on Mental Illness stated that voters already decided money should be spent on treatment for preventive homelessness, not toward housing, according to the California Voter’s Guide. Garcia said there are misconceptions about economic impacts when it comes to homeless individuals and treatment. “Whenever you’re thinking about the economic impacts of these things, these are all hypothesized. It turns out that any city, any county spends a lot of money indirectly on dealing with homelessness,” Garcia said. A study conducted by Orange County United Way and University of California, Irvine found that permanent-supportive housing methods have less of an economic impact on the communities. It estimated costs for housing-first services as 50 percent lower individually than the cost of street services for the homeless. From 2014 to 2015, it was estimated that Orange County spent approximately $299 million to address homelessness issues such as health care, criminal justice and housing, according to the same study. “The difficulty for community members is that you don’t see that cost. So you feel like you’re losing something. You could think of it as an investment,” Garcia said. The foundation for this proposal stems from the permanent-supportive housing model, which states that in order for people to begin progressive recovery they must first have a stable home, according to Opening Doors, a housing publication for the disability community. The programs are designed for long-term supportive services in an affordable community-based setting directly aimed at the homeless, and was first recognized as a viable solution to ending homelessness in the 1980s, according to Opening Doors. Proposition 2 will be one of 11 propositions in the California midterm election ballot on Nov. 6.

According to Rahmatian, the purpose of environmental economics is to tell establishments that cause pollution how to function in a way that ensures their cost doesn’t exceed the benefit that they provide to the community. “Any environmental decision making that you do, it has economic consequences,” Rahmatian said. After seven to eight years of waiting for the political situation in his country to improve, Rahmatian gave up. He decided that he was going to start his life in America, because he couldn’t keep waiting. “Life throws a lot of curveballs at you, it’s your choice what to do with it,” Rahmatian said. He contacted the CSUF economics department because they were hiring, and asked if he could join for a one year full-time lecturer position. “I knew if I came here, just show these guys who I am, they (were) not going to let me go. Sounds a little arrogant, but that’s okay,” Rahmatian said.

A year after he came on as a professor at CSUF in 1988 he was notified that he was going to placed on a tenure track. “I never thought I’d be the dean to be honest with you, but I knew I (was) going to make it here,” Rahmatian said. Eleanor Perry-Tomlin, the assistant to the dean of Mihaylo, said she enjoys working with Rahmatian. “He’s an awesome person. He’s very energetic, and very student-focused. I’ve never enjoyed working with someone so much. It’s a true pleasure to work with him,” Perry-Tomlin said. Rahmatian said he’s passionate about teaching and has not stopped teaching since he’s arrived on campus. According to Rahmatian, it’s not common for deans to teach. They cannot be compensated for teaching, and they often have other work to attend to. “I teach because I enjoy it,” Rahmatian said. “If my job is to run the college of business, how can I run this college of business and not be in the classroom? It just doesn’t make sense.”

Fullerton prepares for city elections Candidates were able to share their goals in a public forum Tuesday. NATHAN NGUYEN Asst. News Editor

The League of Women Voters held a forum Tuesday night for candidates running for the Fullerton City Council in the November elections. The purpose of the forum was to give each candidate an opportunity to talk about their goals for representing the city council, said Jodi Balma, moderator and a professor at Fullerton College. Fullerton council members serve 4-year terms and are separated by district. There is a limit of three consecutive terms for members, according to the City Clerk’s Office. Fullerton is made up of five districts. Six candidates are currently running for the two open seats in Districts 3 and 5. “We want to make it as objective as possible to give all of the candidates a chance to answer all of the questions,” said Pearl Mann, a League of Women Voters coordinator. The League of Women Voters, founded in 1920, is a nonpartisan organization that provides information to voters regarding elections and registering to vote. Mann said she acted as the city’s representation for the league because she is a Fullerton resident and is aware of the issues people are concerned about. “We don’t have a connection with any of the city councils. We don’t take sides, we don’t support candidates,” Mann said. “This was a very good group tonight. I thought some of those questions were difficult if you hadn’t thought of it before, but they all came up with very resourceful and very interesting comments.”

Nickolas Wildstar (left) is one of the candidates running for Fullerton City Council in District 3.

District 3 candidates Mayor Pro Tem Greg Sebourn and Councilman Jesus Silva are the only current members on the council running for re-election, both representing District 3. Sebourn said he wants to respond to the needs of citizens, emphasizing the need for transparency in government. Silva said his priorities are funding for the Fox Fullerton Theatre and saving both the Hunt Library and the Coyote Hills Golf Course.

Also running for District 3 is Nickolas Wildstar, a recording artist who ran for governor in June, as a libertarian. Wildstar said his goal is to be a “voice for the people of the streets, the people of the neighborhoods, the people that don’t have their voices heard.” District 5 candidates John Ybarra, District 5 candidate and a real estate agent, said he wants to address the long-neglected needs of streets, parks and water.

“We can do better than this, I want Fullerton first, not worst,” Ybarra said. “I believe I’m the most qualified because I’m the most business-experienced candidate.” Candidate Vicki Calhoun, an educator, said she plans on dealing with local business to balance the city’s budget, manage infrastructure and “make sure residents have equal access to the many wonderful services in Fullerton.” Small business owner Ahmad Zahra said, “We are only strong (as our) weakest link. If we are to

strengthen our city and move forward we need to uplift every corner of our city.” Candidates Sabrina Narain and Paulette Chaffee, who are both attorneys, were both not present at the forum. Narain said in an email that she is still in the running. “(The candidates) all have different strengths and weaknesses,” said Matthew Leslie, Fullerton resident. “I was very gratified to hear that some of them supported an independent Fullerton Police Commission,” said Leslie

Amazon wage raises set trend

Editorial Young voter participation is critical for midterms

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY BROOK FARIEN / DAILY TITAN

Pay increases help improve lives by providing a livable income.

BROOK FARIEN Staff Writer

It is not breaking news that a minimum wage job cannot sustain a realistic lifestyle, but Amazon’s employees got some relief when the company announced it would increase minimum wages for all its workers across the United States to $15 an hour. This inclusive gesture by Amazon can be seen as a resounding win for workers and a step toward livable wages for all. Employees receiving this pay increase will still get all of the benefits that were given to them as a part of their benefit package. Those who already make $15 an hour will also receive this boost to their checks. Amazon is offering competitive wages that will benefit students looking for a career right after college, the middle-aged workers who don’t have a lengthy education or even older adults re-entering the workforce who are looking to make enough to contribute to a household again. The company’s move may indicate the beginning of a chain reaction if companies follow suit in order to compete for the best workforce. Higher wages will attract job applicants

@thedailytitan

trying to improve their standard of living. Other companies located within close proximity to Amazon might have a hard time finding employees and this increase may change how companies are able to attract workers, said Pedro Amaral, Cal State Fullerton professor of economics. Amazon also has voiced support for raising the federal minimum wage to $15. Since July 14, 2009, the federal minimum wage has been set at $7.25, with many wondering if this would ever change. California is already set to increase its minimum wage to $15 by 2022, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations. However, not everyone thinks this is a good idea. There is always a chance that rising wages will cause businesses to increase prices to their customers, harming consumers. Wages would be higher, but everything would cost more. “The economists have been saying this stuff for years, and there is research showing that things can go both ways,” Amaral said. For wage earners, affordable living might seem unattainable — like running through a maze, getting lost in distractions along the way and never finding the end. Rising wages help workers navigate their way to a better life. Amazon is a large business that has a major impact on the economy. Its size keeps prices low for consumers and provides the potential for many job opportunities. This small action taken by Amazon can guide the economy in the right direction, setting off a chain reaction that others can choose to follow.

Former Vice President Joe Biden arrived on campus last Thursday and voiced his support for five local congressional candidates in nearby districts, serving as a reminder that the midterm elections of 2018 are fast approaching with several close races in Orange County. Without a clear-cut winner in the these districts, now is the time for young voters to make an effort and get to know who is running for their district, so they can vote for the candidate who best represents them. The midterm elections for 2018 will include races for the entire House of Representatives, one-third of all senators, as well as local elections for governor or city mayor. The midterms may not seem like a particularly compelling time to vote, especially when compared to the presidential election, but it’s vitally important to vote in the House races. The House of Representatives allows for constituents to determine who will represent the specific concerns for their district in Congress. Under the current political climate, a change in seats in the House of Representatives could potentially loosen the hold Republicans had in 2016. In Orange County, there is potential for a shift in political leanings. During the 2016 election, 50.9 percent voted in favor of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but only 42.3 percent voted in favor of President Donald Trump, according to the statewide summary by county for president on the Secretary of State’s website — something the county hasn’t done in more than 80 years. Voters from the 18 to 29-year-old demographic have been notorious

THE STUDENT VOICE OF CAL STATE FULLERTON

for low voter turnout during past general and midterm elections. Even though they appear more enthusiastic about this year’s midterms, only 26 percent of voters said they were absolutely certain they would vote during the midterms, according to a 2018 Gallup survey. Rather than repeat the same cycle of low voter turnout, young voters need to make an effort to get to know the local and congressional candidates in their election’s respective districts. In the district that surrounds Cal State Fullerton, the 39th District, Gil Cisneros and Young Kim are the congressional candidates running for office. The year 2018 has been a polarized year for politics, arguably more so than previous years due to the recent confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice, the U.S. separation of families at the border and countless other compelling concerns surrounding the Trump administration. CSUF’s Associated Students launched a Voter Registration Coalition in September in an effort to encourage voting. On the CSUF Portal, students can register to vote at any time. The deadline to register to vote in California is Oct. 22. If young voters feel upset with the results of recent political actions, then taking an active stance during the midterms is critical. The results of this midterm could potentially change the next two years of legislative outcomes. Students on campus shouldn’t depend on others to be their voice; they should actively participate if they want legislation that aligns with their beliefs.

6 Lifestyle THURSDAY OCTOBER 11, 2018 Column: From high school sweethearts to parents Parenthood at a young age has brought us closer together.

SOMMER CLARK Staff Writer

The moment I found out I was going to have a little girl, all the possibilities of how my daughter Savannah’s life would develop flashed before my eyes. I imagined her first words, steps, day of school, school dances, car, love, heartbreak, college acceptance — all of the major milestones most encounter throughout the journey of life. Then I started thinking about her future outside of these romantic ideals; I started thinking about the other important parts of growing up and thinking about my own. When looking at my own life experiences, I notice that all these imaginings are just perfected daydreams lost in a romantic haze. As cliche as it sounds, when it comes to the real world, life is something that happens when other plans are being made. When I first met her father, Chris, we were in our senior year of high school and I had just been dumped by my very first boyfriend. I was the shy and quiet girl in class that avoided eye contact with people she didn’t know, who was just looking to finish high school and continue with an uneventful life. I kept to myself and my small group of friends. Her father, on the other hand, was loud, confident and always speaking his mind. He was my

KAYLA ALCARAZ / DAILY TITAN

rebel without a cause. I never imagined my story following the structure of complete opposites, and having an electrifying attraction toward each other. It was not until our prom that he told me he loved me while we were entwined in a sweet

embrace, swaying back and forth to the smooth vocals of the female singer covering Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” After high school graduation, we motivated each other to continue with school and attend

community college together. He entered the automotive industry while I followed my aspirations to become the real-life Lois Lane. There have been countless times throughout my school career when I have thrown my

hands up in the air out of frustration. The stress of balancing life, work and school would get overwhelming to the point where I believed I was destined for failure. I even considered quitting school and finding a full-time position in retail customer service instead. Each time my frustrations bubble over, Chris, who is now my fiance, is my voice of reason. He always tells me, “You got this, babe” as he leans down and kisses me on the cheek. With his constant support and my own ambition, I have been able to continue in my studies. I am thankful for all I have, and my love for Savannah gives me the determination to finish school. From the moment I found out she was going to be a part of our family, I knew I wanted nothing but the best for her. As she progresses through life, I want to help her develop and create a strong moral compass paired with knowledge of how love works. I hope my daughter can find herself a partner that challenges her when she is being stubborn and supports her dreams and aspirations, just as her father has done for me. Although my daughter isn’t old enough for her own romantic relationships — if her father has his way, she won’t date until she’s 30 — in the meantime, she will know the unconditional love that her father and I have for each other and for her. I hope she doesn’t mind that I found my inner Elton John and put down in words how wonderful life is now that she is in the world. I’ll wake to my Savannah sunrise, a bright-toothless smile that reaches across my daughter’s entire face out from the satisfaction of successfully waking me up. I’ll kiss her on the cheek and fill her days with love.

Success: CSUF shuts out Cal Poly SLO

“Everything just slowed down and I had a little moment; I focused on getting good contact on the ball and luckily it went in,” Bailey said. Fullerton’s defense held a

tight line as the Mustangs only put three shots on goal, all of which goalie Paul-Andre Guerin saved. Kuntz said the Titans connected easily on the field because they varied the distance of their shots and used

different areas of the field to create plays. “We try to play in front of people too much instead of getting behind and combining, and I thought tonight we combined better and did some of the things we’ve been talking

about,” Kuntz said. Saturday is the Titan’s final home conference game, where they will take on Sacramento State for Senior Night. Despite only having four points in the Big West, Kuntz believes that Fullerton is by no means out of

the race for first. “It’s wide open,” Kuntz said. “We just have to apply these principles that we adhered to tonight and progress, try to make every game better. We had 15 shots tonight; we should’ve scored three more goals.”

Cal State Fullerton volleyball will travel to UC Irvine on Thursday and UC Davis on Saturday for two chances to earn its first win in Big West conference play this season. The Titans (6-12, 0-5) fell in three sets to UC Riverside on Oct. 6, giving Riverside its

first conference victory of the season. Fullerton lost the match by a total of eight points. Since the start of Big West play, CSUF has not won a single set. The average margin of defeat per set is 7.13 with the largest loss, 25-10, delivered by undefeated No. 12 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, according to NCAA rankings. No CSUF player ranks in the top five of any statistical category in the conference. Outside hitter Maddie

Schneider ranks sixth in total kills (199) and kills per set (3.43). The UC Irvine Anteaters (10-7, 4-1) have won their last three conference games, dropping only one set to Long Beach State. Senior middle blocker Idara Akpakpa earned Big West Defensive Player of the Week this week after recording six blocks against UC Davis and Cal State Northridge over the weekend. Akpakpa ranks second in the conference in blocks per set with 1.10.

Outside hitter Haley DeSales owns the second-most digs in the Big West (289). The Anteaters are 3-4 at home this season. They lost to Cal State Bakersfield in five sets on Aug. 31. Bakersfield swept the Titans on Sept. 25. Of the three shared Big West conference opponents so far — UC Santa Barbara, Hawaii and Cal State Northridge — Irvine beat Santa Barbara on the road and swept Northridge. In the Bren Events Center on Sept. 28, the Anteaters swept

the UC Davis Aggies by an average of 12.3 points. Davis’ (9-9, 1-5) sole conference victory came in five sets at UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 29. Outside hitter Emily Allen, who averages the fifth-most kills in conference (3.87), recorded 29 kills in that match. Outside of that match, the Aggies have won only three Big West sets. Thursday’s game starts at 7 p.m. in the Bren Events Center. Saturday’s contest will begin at 1 p.m. in The Pavilion.
