Titans celebrate Coming Out Day The LGBT Queer Resource Center held events in honor of the national celebration. SOPHIA ACEVEDO Asst. Opinion Editor

BROOK FARIEN Staff Writer

A balloon-rainbow arch swayed in the central Quad on Thursday, welcoming students to participate in interactive arts and crafts activities for a National Coming Out Day celebration, hosted by Cal State Fullerton’s LGBT Queer Resource Center. “(To me) this event means celebrating queerness and celebrating the milestones and progress that the LGBTQ community has made over the years,” said Isaiah Acevedo, a student leader at the LGBT Queer Resource Center. Albert Xiong, a graduate assistant of the LGBT Queer Resource Center, said he hoped the afternoon event would provide visibility and a sense of community for LGBTQ students and let them know the resource center was available in helping them. Janice Orozco, a freshman English major, passed by the event with Kris Delrio, a student from Orange High School, and created a self-flower in one of the activities, which depicted the different parts of Orozco’s personality. “I felt like it was a really nice event because it made me feel included in the community,” Orozco said. “It’s OK to be ourselves and I know that people aren’t going to accept it all the time, but

just surround yourself with those who do accept you and you’ll be fine,” Orozco said. Participants could receive a goody bag once they collected signatures from each of the four tables at the event. In addition to the arts and

crafts, there were also two community resource tables, OC Accept and the LGBT Center Orange County. Marco Ramirez, a therapist of OC Accept, said their program focuses on case management and mental health services for people

in the LGBTQ community. National Coming Out Day celebrates the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, which was the nation’s second demonstration to occur on the basis of LGBTQ rights. The march led to the creation

of foundations such as the National Latino/a Gay & Lesbian Organization and AT&T’s LEAGUE, according to the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBTQ civil rights organization. SEE PRIDE

Syrian student pursues degree Pups lend a paw to readers

Sarah Albassri escaped turmoil five years ago and has since graduated. SAMMY JONES Staff Writer

Sarah Albassri, a Syrian refugee, escaped the war zone in Syria five years ago and came to the United States. She graduated from Cal State Fullerton last spring. Accompanied by her mom, Albassri said she was finally reconnected with her father, who had already been living in the U.S. Despite her family successfully immigrating to the United States, Albassri said it wasn’t their plan to stay in the country very long. She said her family had hopes of returning to their native country. “My dad came first, and then after the situation got worse in Syria and I wasn’t able to study, me and my mom traveled,” Albassri said. “I wasn’t intended to stay here, I thought I was going to go back and then it didn’t work out.” Albassri said because she couldn’t get U.S. citizenship; she cannot return to Syria. “My passport is expired and if I travel, I’m afraid I can’t come back here,” she said. Albassri said she wanted to go to pharmacy school, but ended up graduating with a degree in biochemistry. She struggled understanding English when she first arrived and began to teach herself the new language through YouTube videos. “Once I got here, everything didn’t make any sense. I might know some English, but it didn’t make sense to me, how I heard it. I started listening to songs, movies and a lot of YouTube videos,” Albassri said. Wylie Ahmed, an assistant

physics professor, said he couldn’t believe she had trouble with English. “The first time I found out that she was having problems with English was when I read her personal statement, which was very well-written, and she mentioned that she had problems with it. Her English is pretty much perfect. It’s as good as any native English speaker’s anyway,” he said. Albassri said she decided to pursue her master’s in physics and work on research involving non-equilibrium dynamics of colloidal swimmers and ultimately, become a biomedical engineer. She was able to use her

biochemistry background to enter the new field of science. Ahmed and Albassri started a project together involving micro-swimmers, and eventually Albassri was convinced to stay at CSUF for graduate school, Ahmed said. Her focus is trying to understand the movement of tiny molecules such as swimmers, which are man-made microorganisms or bacteria, Ahmed said. Albassri said she preps the swimmers, covers them with a slide and places it under a microscope. To further break down the microscopic image, she relies on computer programs to enlarge what she

observes. Ahmed said their bigger goal is to eventually engineer or create swimmers that can transport drugs or perform self-assembly. Outside the lab, Albassri said she is a taekwondo instructor. This is where she can unwind and relieve her stress. “Sarah is one of those amazing people, where she has overcome a lot and you would never know it. She never lets it show,” Ahmed said. “In the lab, it’s different. There’s research challenges, which are very different especially transitioning from biochemistry to physics, but she’s overcome everything.”

Reading from a book to a crowd of people for the first time is nerve-wracking. But picture this: the crowd is furry, happy, and listening attentively. This is the vision the Fullerton Public Library tries to bring to life through its monthly fall program Read with the Dogs for kids on every second Wednesday. Read with the Dogs was established in 2011 to help children improve their reading skills by reading to therapy dogs, according to Janine Jacobs, the Fullerton Library children’s services division manager. In doing so, children develop the confidence to read more efficiently. “Practice makes perfect. Just by doing it, they get more comfortable and they get more and more confident and pretty soon they’re just doing it,” Jacobs said. Therapy dogs are provided by the Pet Prescription Team, a full-service organization that is dedicated to providing comfort and therapy services to the public through pets. These dogs must complete an eight-week training through Pet Prescription Team and pass the American Kennel Club requirements, according to the Pet Prescription website. SEE DOGS

Proposition 10 to determine rent control

Ballot measure will decide if cities in California can limit rent rates. MIGUEL HIDALGO Staff Writer

Events in the Quad celebrated the LGBTQ community.

“National Coming Out Day is for you, not for anyone else. So coming out at any capacity that you would like, in a way that affirms you — anyway that you want to come out — is valid,” Xiong said. In addition to the event that occurred in the central Quad, CSUF celebrated National Coming Out Day with a panel discussion and an LGBTQ history month reception in the evening. President Fram Virjee spoke at The Golleher Alumni House about the eminent “rainbow wave” that is to come from the LGBTQ community. Students shared their testimonies and talked about what it means to come out as well as the stigmas behind National Coming Out Day itself. “From having so many beautiful events today, we can see the campus growing and expanding National Coming Out Day,” said Chris Datiles, coordinator for the LGBT Queer Resource Center. Virjee encouraged members of CSUF to empower the LGBTQ community and advocate for allyship. “As the largest and most accessible vehicle to higher education in this state, it’s on us. The faculty, the staff, the students at Cal State Fullerton to continue coming out as proud LGBTQ community ... and to continue to build our university’s LGBTQ legacy,” Virjee said.

Proposition 10, also known as the Affordable Housing Act, will repeal the 1995 Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act if passed, according to California’s Voter Guide. The Costa Hawkins act limits the ability of cities in California to enforce rent control on housing built after 1995, and allows landlords to raise rent as much as they want for new tenants. This is especially relevant in Orange County, where housing prices are notoriously high. Kyle Hensley, a fourth-year student at Cal State Fullerton and third-year tenant at the University House apartment complex, said he has seen his rent increase since his initial lease. “It was around the low 900’s when I first moved in and now it’s around a grand,” Hensley said. Forty-three percent of Orange County residents are renters, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. The average California resident, earning minimum wage, would have to work “92 hours per week in order to afford to rent an average one-bedroom apartment,” according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. According to the Yes on 10 website, Prop 10 will allow communities to establish rent control policies to adequately address the nation’s worst housing affordability and homelessness crisis. Zachary Coleman, a fourthyear at CSUF, said he has noticed a similar situation as Hensley with the property he rents off campus. “This is my third year and it’s gone up I think usually $100 a year,” Coleman said. Coleman said there was no improvements made to the rent price and “it’s actually gotten worse,” even when other apartment prices

in the area went down. Steven Maviglio, spokesperson for Californians for Responsible Housing and member of the No on Prop 10 campaign, said he believes that the proposition will ultimately be worse for renters. Maviglio said the proposition could lead to a potential loss of many affordable-housing projects and single-family rentals. “We saw in Berkeley when rent control went into place, more than 3,000 single-family homes were taken off the market for rentals, reverting back to their owners who either lived in them or sold them,” Maviglio said. Organizations, such as the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, are working to find the middle ground. The Terner Center wrote a policy brief attempting to find “common ground” on rent control, even proposing an anti-gouging cap that would enact rent control yet still allow landlords to freely set prices for new tenants. The center has proposed ways to enact rent control while still allowing landlords some flexibility to set prices, according to the brief. It also proposed to create tax incentives for landlords to develop new property at an affordable price. This is largely meant to address the concerns of opponents of rent control, who fear that Proposition 10 will lower the number of already-low housing available in California, Maviglio said. The Terner Center proposal was received with mixed reviews, Maviglio said. “We were very supportive of (the Terner Center policies), (but) the proponents of this measure were opposed to them. It’s all or nothing for (the proponents),” he said. Coleman said an in-between option would be ideal. “Rent is shooting up and the rental owners have too much control, especially in a college area,” Coleman said. All propositions, including Proposition 10 will be voted on during the Nov. 6 midterm elections.

Candidates touched on the effects of Propositions 6 and 10 on college students at the Nixon Library. KORRYN SANCHEZ Layout Editor

HOSAM ELATTAR News Editor

Republican nominees for Congress, state assembly and other offices congregated for an Ask the Candidates forum at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum on Thursday evening. Recent Cal State Fullerton graduate Robert Collins said he came to the event to learn about the candidates and their positions and policies on political issues. “Young people massively don’t vote (on) issues that affect their age group. The more you educate yourself about what’s going on, (the more) you find out what’s happening right in front of you. It’s like studying for a test,” Collins said. The forum consisted of congressional candidates, assembly candidates, attorney general

candidates and treasurer candidates. Young Kim, congressional candidate for the 39th District was scheduled to attend but did not show due to an illness. The candidates touched on topics like the importance of young people voting in the Nov. 6 midterm election and the effects of Propositions 6 and 10. Congressional candidates were asked by the crowd to share their positions on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. “Both groups (Democrats and Republicans) have been mobilized. We see people on the left who appear to be hysterical lunatics,” said Bryan Witt, 27th congressional Democratic candidate, about the Kavanaugh confirmation. Konstantinos Roditis, who is running for California state controller, said Proposition 6 (regarding the gas tax) is an important issue for students on campuses to understand. “It is going to take hundreds of dollars out of college students’ pockets who are already struggling to get by or even pay their college tuition,” Roditis said.

olic ies

The event was held by AM 870 The Answer (KRLA-AM) and hosted by Brian Whitman, a morning radio personality. Whitman said the gas tax is “holding students up at the gas tank who might commute.” Twenty-five year old Joshua Scott is running for 32nd congressional district and is the youngest congressional candidate in the country. “I understand that so many young people are indoctrinated by our college professors and we have this liberal bubble around us (but) look at what the message is, look at what the platform is,” Scott said. Benito Bernal, who is running to represent the 29th District in Congress, said it’s important for students to educate themselves and vote. “Find out what the issues really are because right now you are molding (into) who you are and (starting to) believe what you are going to believe,” Bernal said. “The older you get, the wis-

er you become and the more you realize, ‘Darn if I had only started voting way back when on these issues and educated myself.’”

Cross-play sets standard for gaming

Cross-platform play may influence the future of games.

ANTONIO LOPEZ Staff Writer

Cross-platform play, more commonly known as cross-play, is a term used within the gaming world in reference to online games that allow players from different gaming platforms to play with each other online. Cross-play is growing more prevalent in the videogame industry, and its’ influence among gamers and developers is a positive for both. Platforms have tended to keep its users within respective systems: PlayStation plays with PlayStation, Xbox with Xbox, and etc. Separate online services means playing with friends online only if you both have the same consoles. One explanation why it hasn’t taken off yet is technological limitations. When console online capabilities first became mainstream with the success of Xbox Live in 2002 and Sony’s PlayStation Network in 2006, the competing services worked differently. Multiplayer is now an essential component to many games, and those games are on more platforms. “Fortnite” is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, personal computers and mobile devices. The technology has been ready. The Sega Dreamcast laid the groundwork for cross-platform play as early as 2001 when Sega released the Dreamcast’s new maps for “Quake lll: Arena” to computer players. It gave PC gamers access to the maps as well as cross-play with Dreamcast players, according to GameSpot. “Final Fantasy XI” became the first fully cross-platform capable game in 2004, when it crossplayed with PlayStation 2 and PC,

then later in 2006 with Xbox 360 as well, according to the Final Fantasy website. “Rocket League,” a very successful multiplayer game that crashed servers the day it was launched, according to the Guardian, could be cross-platform ready “in less than a business day.” But only if Psyonix gets permission from all parties said Jeremy Dunham, Psyonix vice president in an interview with IGN. “Fortnite” also has cross-play as a key feature, so when Sony blocked accounts on the popular multiplayer game “Fortnite” from being accessed on other consoles (locking accounts to the PlayStation 4) the backlash was immediate, according to the BBC. Sony’s motivation was clearly about sales. Players who had earned or purchased content on other consoles would not be able to access it on PlayStation – they would have to repurchase content on Sony’s store where Sony could make a profit, according to Ars Technica, a publication dedicated to technology. Sony, the last holdout, recently caved to public pressure and has announced cross-platform multiplayer for the insanely popular game, “Fortnite,” according to Kotaku, a gamer’s news and opinion platform. When Fortnite, one of the biggest games of the year, with around 125 million players, has cross-play as a key feature, it’s a sure sign competitors will follow suit. Ultimately, developers also benefit from moving to cross-play because their games end up having a much larger playerbase to work with. No segmentation means the development process will be more streamlined, which will deliver a consistent experience across systems, another plus for gamers. With it, gamers won’t have to pick systems based on what their friends already own, and systems can be chosen more on personal preference, such as system exclusives and other auxiliary services it may provide. These benefits outweigh any perceived losses executives may have on the concept, and the increased freedom felt on both sides of the game will simply lead to better games overall.

Dogs: Children read tales to tails

Jacobs said the program’s success is due to the improvement that they’ve seen in children’s reading ability. “The dogs don’t judge them. They gain experience reading aloud and that’s a hard thing for a lot of kids. Over the years, we’ve had many success stories with children that start out with reluctance to read aloud,” Jacobs said. Fae King, a Pet Prescription volunteer member, alongside her dog Mitter, has been involved in the organization for the past 15 months. King, also a teacher for children with special needs, said being a member of Pet Prescription was a smooth transition because of how fulfilling it is to work with the group, and that children aren’t the only ones who benefit from this event. “(Mitter) loves to climb in their lap. I work all day, so she’s home all day. This is also her chance to get out and socialize with the kids,” King said. Karlee Moore, a student at Russell Parks middle school in Fullerton, has participated in Reading with the Dogs over the

past six years. “I was with a really good friend, and there was a sign at the front desk (of Fullerton Library), and we both love animals, so we decided to come, and we just loved it so much that we just kept on coming,” Moore said. At the event, children are able to bring their own books or select from a variety of options displayed on tables to read to the dogs. Though the program is targeted toward children, it is family friendly and open to the public. “My favorite thing about this event is just getting to build a bond with the dogs, getting to know them in general,” Moore said. “It lowers the stress level if I’ve been working on homework for a long time.” Therapy dogs sit alongside their owners ready to listen to stories from children. For the last 15 minutes, the lights in the auditorium are dimmed to help children unwind from the hour of reading to pet the dogs. “We’re healing hearts through our pets and even if these kids have a bad day or something, I have not seen one kid come in here and not leave happy,” King said.

Review: ‘The Walking Dead’ lives on The new season is full of hope, for the characters, the audience and the future of the show itself. ALYSSA LOPEZ Opinion Editor

The season nine premiere of “The Walking Dead” titled “A New Beginning” begins at what seems to be about a year since the characters were last seen. Communities have been rebuilt, groups are working together (for now) and Maggie’s baby was finally born. The premiere gives hope that the characters will start a more peaceful chapter.

However, anyone who watches the show regularly knows that when the characters seem to find any sort of peace, tragedy is waiting to strike. This means that fans can look forward to another season full of emotions. In the season eight finale fans may have been left with mixed feelings. In that episode we saw Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a villain fans equally love and hate, fall from power. This left the question of what would become of the communities he once controlled. Some may have been rooting for Negan’s death in hopes that he would finally get what he deserved, but it seems many fans wouldn’t be happy to see Negan leave the show entirely. While we know he didn’t die in season eight, episode one of the new season showed no sign of him. The story follows the characters in their efforts to restart a new life for themselves. They look to American history for inspiration in building their society. The first episode has a slow start, taking time to show the situation the characters are now in. This seemingly peaceful opening is well within the same form as past season premieres of the show with the exception of season seven, a premiere most fans will never truly recover from. For horror fanatics, in true Walking-Dead fashion, the season nine premiere features amazingly hideous rotting corpses that only want to consume human flesh. The show is seemingly going back to its roots, with scenes sure to cause anxious feelings as fans fear for the lives of their favorite characters. The show’s history of independent female characters is a part of what makes it so great. For example, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) embodies

strength and intelligence, and like the other female characters on the show, she is a fighter. After watching her husband, Glenn (Steven Yeun), get brutally murdered while she was pregnant with his child, she took over a community and became a leader in season seven. With the start of this season we see that Maggie is the only female character in a real position of power. In this episode, we see her authority questioned and Maggie makes a tough but deserving decision. She plays a key role and will surely continue to throughout the season. The premiere was a great start and thanks to the show’s vivid characters, “The Walking Dead” will continue to gain loyal fans who will love, laugh and cry along with the characters.

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer defeated Sacramento State, 1-0, on its senior night and final home Big West conference game of the season Saturday night. After a scoreless first half, it took less than one minute for forward Samuel Goni and the Titans to break the tie in the second. Goni, who was one of the seniors that was honored before the game, ran onto a ball in the box played by midfielder Oscar Flores to convert his fifth goal of the season.

The assist gave Flores his first point of the season. “We were talking about the spacing (at halftime) so we knew it was there. It was a fantastic ball by Flores,” Goni said. Goalkeeper Paul-Andre Guerin recorded his fifth shutout of the season and 14th of his three-year career with the Titans. He had six saves against the Hornets. “I think it’s a good objective, every game, to have a shutout in mind,” Guerin said. “I don’t do it by myself. I get the reward for everyone’s great play.” The Titans entered the night tied in fourth place in the Big West conference, and now sit in a tie with Cal State Northridge for second place with a 2-1-1 record. Sacramento State fell to fourth place in conference play at 2-2-0. “I think we have been playing pretty well against all of the Big West opponents,” Titans’ head coach George Kuntz said. “I think the guys are very motivated.” The Titans will finish Big West conference play with three games on the road, including games at UC Irvine on Oct. 17 and at UC Davis on Oct. 20.

Cal State Fullerton volleyball was swept by UC Irvine and UC Davis in its first two games of a three-game series. The Titans now hold a 13-game losing streak and have gone eight matches without winning a set. On Saturday, Fullerton recorded 26 kills compared to Davis’ 45. The Aggies also committed only 13 errors, while the Titans errored 16 times on 15 less attempts. Middle blocker Haley Carmo finished with a career-high eight kills in the contest. Of her 57 kills this season, 18 have come in the last three games. CSUF setter Nastassja Bowman squared off with her sister, Paloma, for the second time in their collegiate careers. Nastassja collected eight assists while Paloma dished out 21 for the Aggies. For the second game in a row,

Maddie Schneider played right side instead of starting on the outside. She finished with four kills and four hitting errors. After CSUF fell to 0-5 in conference play with a 3-0 loss at the hands of the UC Irvine Anteaters on Thursday night, the Titans stayed in their locker room for nearly half an hour as head coach Ashley Preston showed them their hitting and service errors from the game. After Preston walked out, the volume turned up as the Titans talked over their several mental errors in a players-only meeting. It allowed the Titans to voice their frustrations about a season that saw them start 6-1 before their 12-game losing streak. “We need to just go back to trusting ourselves and trusting each other and that we know what we’re doing, and we deserve to be here. We deserve to compete in this conference, and we know what we can do,” Schneider said. Thursday’s loss to the Anteaters saw the Titans trail for the entire first set before leading the way for most of the second one, with players’ celebratory screams peaking when the Titans took a 15-9 lead

and appeared to be on the verge of their first set win in nearly a month. Instead, the Titans promptly allowed Irvine to go on a 16-5 run and win the set when Anteaters senior Ali Koumelis’ serve hit the net and barely rolled over. “I just think that it just feels like you lose grasp of it. Coach calls it our ‘freak out’ moments, Schneider said. “I think we just genuinely kind of freak out as a team.” After coasting to a relatively uncontested third set win following the Titans’ “freak out” moment, the Anteaters had moved to 5-1 in conference play. Preston said during her lengthy postgame address to the team, she told them they needed to focus on why they were playing for Fullerton, why they’re bothering to put in so many practice hours and what they can do to execute better, because if they don’t turn things around soon, their season might be over. “We have 11 matches (left) so it’s not all hope is lost, but I just addressed right now how we’re at that cusp. We’re at that moment where it’s either we fight back, or we give up. So what team do we really want to be?” Preston said.

And what team does Preston think the Titans are? “I don’t believe that this is a team that’s just going to give up,” Preston said. “They just need to find better solutions in order to get the outcome that they want.” Outside hitter Felicia Marshall, who led CSUF with 11 kills in its defeat to UC Irvine, said the key

for the Titans moving forward into their future matches — and to avoid any future freak outs — might be easy. “I think we just need to keep things simple,” Marshall said. If they can’t, the Titans will be well on their way to their eighth season in a row without a Big West postseason berth.
