A heated debate between 39th District candidates Young Kim and Gil Cisneros left the KDOCTV studio audience in silence and host of the show, Rick Reiff, in shock on Tuesday. The candidates’ debate, which Reiff called the liveliest debate he has ever watched, will be the final episode of “Inside OC,” a public affairs show. The full debate will air on KDOC-TV on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 5 p.m. “I can’t recall a show where I’ve lost so much control,” Reiff said. The candidates addressed issues being faced by students in the 39th District. Cisneros said his opponent has stood against DACA students in the past. “(Kim) says she supports Dreamers and our DACA students, but when she was on the state legislature she voted against legislation that would support resource centers for our colleges and universities,” Cisneros said. Kim responded with a reminder that she herself is an immigrant and came to the United States to “realize the American dream” and thrive in the economic opportunity of this country. Regarding her own immigration policy, Kim said she stands

against sanctuary cities. “We cannot tie the hands of our law enforcement officers to be able to operate and work closely with our federal agents,” she said. Both candidates said they are

concerned with the cost of tuition for college students. “I know the power of education and how it can really change somebody’s life, not just their lives, but their families’ life and for future generations,”

Cisneros said. “We need programs that are going to benefit students and allow them to go to school. We need to invest more in higher education.” SEE POLITICS

The biggest question concerning the midterm elections is whether Democrats’ anger at the current administration will measure up to the passionate support of President Donald Trump’s base, said Scott Spitzer, Cal State Fullerton associate professor of political science at Tuesday’s midterm panel. The midterm election panel called, “Critical Choices, Potential Changes, and Enormous Consequences” covered the current political climate, midterm voter turnout predictions and the possibility that the 2018 midterms will be the next Year of the Woman. Spitzer said that historically, turnout at midterm elections is “always lower” than presidential elections. However, he said that the “intensity” of support for the president will ultimately drive loyal Trump supporters to vote. “We can talk about issues,” Spitzer said. “But that’s not really as potent a driver of this election than people’s feelings about the president.” SEE VOTE

Halloween inspires freaky festival

Pumpkins transformed into dragons, pirates, spiders and numerous other decorative forms at Pumpkin Nights on Saturday in Pomona. Despite the drizzling weather for that particular day, Pumpkin Nights allowed people of all ages to go on a quest of unscrambling a

secret phrase while heading to seven different lands that reimagined the form and design possibilities of pumpkins. To look for the secret phrase, participants had to look for unique pumpkins containing “pumpkin spirits” and use a code to determine the letter. Those who wandered along the path also had the opportunity to stop and take photos with the creative artworks like Octavius, a pumpkin octopus. Chelsea Kasen, co-founder of Pumpkin Nights, said the idea for the event was to create something that wasn’t too childish but also not

too frightening, opting for themes like pirates and spiders. “We wanted to create different lands that represented our favorite things about Halloween, but made them more fantastical and more immersive than we’ve ever seen before,” Kasen said. As participants Jorge Martiz and Lea Wenni made their way through the path, they said they enjoyed the Forbidden Pumpkin City the best. The Forbidden Pumpkin City was inspired by Asian culture, with a dragon made out of pumpkins and a pond scene with a turtle.

Another land, Spider Alley, is rooted from Kasen’s childhood, since it was inspired by her grandfather’s garden. The land featured oversized spiders, Venus’ flytraps and caterpillars with intricate designs, which were carved on the pumpkins that were used as body parts. To further embrace the Halloween spirit, participants were also encouraged to wear costumes while at the event. “The challenge of Pumpkin Nights is to see if we could take a pumpkin, the shape of the pumpkin or the likeness of the pumpkin, and

turn it into an everyday object. So we had a team of 30 artists who work all year concepting and also building these installations,” Kasen said. While there were actual pumpkins sprinkled throughout the lands, most of the large creations were made from artificial pumpkins that artists created designs for. Sheila Gallegos said her family came to the event after a family member won a pumpkin drawing contest and enjoyed several activities. SEE HALLOWEEN 5 VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Politics: Cisneros and Measure may affect Kim disagree on policies California water Proposition 3 would fund multiple water and environmental projects. AURIELLE WEISS Staff Writer

HOSAM ELATTAR / DAILY TITAN

The candidates wait in anticpation for the debate to commence. CONTINUED FROM 1 Kim said she is in favor of student loan forgiveness. “Three of my children went to Cal State Fullerton so I am very much a Titan family member. Students are struggling with rising tuition costs,” she said. “(Student loans) are something I’d really like to address when I get to Congress.” Reiff asked Cisneros about the sexual assault allegations made about him early this year, and how they related to the allegations Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh faced. “I think our situations are totally different. I had one individual who has since retracted and withdrawn her statement. Judge Kavanaugh has had multiple people that have come out against him. The woman I

spoke with that made that allegation never said it was sexual harassment,” Cisneros said. Kim said she has not made a statement about the Kavanaugh or Cisneros allegations. “The only thing I said (about Kavanaugh or Cisneros is) any women that wants to come forward and tell their story should be given the opportunity to tell their side of the story. Simple as that,” she said. Kim is against the gas tax and said she wants to stop building the high speed rail so they can use the remaining funding from that project to fix roads and infrastructure, she said. Cisneros addressed the need for action on infrastructure and pledged to pass a federal infrastructure bill to improve roads, highways, bridges, airports and

schools. “I like the idea of public transportation. Los Angeles County and Orange County had a vibrant public transportation system during the ‘30s and ‘40s,” Cisneros said. “If you go to other major cities like New York or Washington, D.C., they have metro lines. When I lived back east, when I went to school, I never would get in my car. I always took public transportation.” Kim said she believes she will be a better representative since she’s lived in the district for 30 years. “The district deserves a representative who understands what the diverse community is going through,” Kim said. “I look like the district, I talk like the district and I fit the district.”

On Nov. 6, California voters will decide on Proposition 3, an $8.9 billion bond for water and environmental projects. If passed, Proposition 3 would permit the state to allocate about $8.9 billion for multiple infrastructure projects like fixing dams and increasing water supply for people to use. It will also fund projects improving the conditions of water quality, watershed lands, fish and wildlife habitats, as well as ensure groundwater sustainability and storage, according to the California voter’s guide. “There are actually a hundred different categories in the measure but the most important ones are safe-drinking water, building up a reliable water supply and implementing the groundwater sustainability act,” said Jerry Meral, director of the California water program for the Natural Heritage Institute. According to California’s voter guide, the money would be split between several programs and projects. A sum of $3.03 billion would be used for safe-drinking water and water quality, $2.895 billion for watershed and fisheries improvements, $940 million for habitat protection, $685 million for groundwater sustainability/storage and $472 million for surface water storage/dam repairs. A vote against Proposition 3 would mean that the state would not fund these several projects. “I can see why when you take a look at this it looks a little fishy,” said Scott Spitzer, associate professor of political

science at Cal State Fullerton. “The major beneficiaries are the (organizations) that are backing this. On the other hand, I want to say that if our agricultural business suffers, that is bad for the state economy.” While most people who live in California have safe-drinking water, there are still around 600,000 Californians who are subject to unsafe water filled with lead, boron and mercury, Meral said. He said this proposition would positively affect some of the poorer communities and schools by providing money to fix their water supply. However, those against the proposition believe that it would be a waste of taxpayers’ money. With so much money being allocated to so many different projects, interest rates may double as it could take the state 40 years to repay the bond, averaging about $430 million dollars a year, according to the California voter’s guide. As of Oct. 9, roughly 92 percent of California’s population are still affected by abnormal dryness or drought, according to the National Integrated Drought Information System. These conditions linger as the result of a four-year period of drought between 2011-2015 that the Public Policy Institute of California noted was the driest ever recorded in the history of the state. “I have a feeling it will pass actually because people think ‘Oh water, we need good water projects,’” Spitzer said. “I have a Ph.D. in political science and it’s hard for me to understand this. It’s the question of should these kinds of issues be decided by the public in a direct democracy or would they be better off deciding by a board of experts who can weigh the pros and cons.”

Daylight saving time could end Vote: Experts Yes on Proposition 7 could stop the biannual change of time in California. KORRYN SANCHEZ Layout Editor

MEGAN GARCIA Sports Editor

As time ticks closer to election day, California voters will decide if daylight saving time will remain a law with Proposition 7 on the November ballot. Currently, state law establishes the time zones for the continental United States and American territories. The current standard requires time to be pushed forward one hour on the second Sunday of March. When the first Sunday of November comes around, time falls back at 2 a.m by one hour, according to the Daylight Saving Time Act. A yes vote on the ballot measure would allow California to change daylight saving time legislation in order to be aligned with the regulations of standard time. A no vote would not change daylight saving time and California would maintain the same daylight-saving schedule, according to the California voter’s guide. The biannual time change is harmful to the health and safety of the people affected by the change, according to the vote yes on Proposition 7 website. The change in time due to daylight saving time increases on-the-job injuries. Fatal automobile accidents increase by 7 percent and the number of heart attack victims increase by 25 percent, according to the website. James Ma is a business major at Cal State Fullerton who described the issue that Proposition 7 presents as one “not swayed by money.” Ma said he believes this issue is “the definition of a democratic issue.” “The deciding factor for me is the economic costs. I heard a thing that said daylight saving actually costs more money than it saves because you are decreasing light bulb time but increasing AC time,” Ma said. “People will oversleep, they are late (to work) by a hour, they

get yelled at by their bosses and then no one is happy,” While some myths may say farmers benefit from the time change, daylight saving time was originally enacted as a wartime measure designed to conserve energy during wartime rations, according to the History channel. In 2008, University of California, Santa Barbara studied the effects of daylight saving time in the state of Indiana. At the time, Indiana had counties that observed daylight saving time and counties that did not, according to the study. The study found that daylight saving time added a combined $8.6 million to the residents’ electricity bills. Additionally, it found that daylight saving

increased pollution emissions, which cost the state of Indiana between $1.6 to $5.3 million per year. “Ultimately I think it does more harm than good. I think it might be a good idea to repeal daylight saving,” Ma said. The campaign for Benito Bernal, a congressional candidate running in California’s 29th District, voiced a slight opposition to Proposition 7. “We really had no position on it originally. I know (Bernal) is not 100 percent opposed to it. It just seems like more of a fiscal reason not to do it than to do it. But it basically is a very soft ‘no’ that originally he had no opinion on,” said David Hernandez, a representative for Bernal.

(On left) Scott Spitzer said less voters participate in the midterms. CONTINUED FROM 1 Men are divided in views of Trump’s job performance, as 46 percent approve of the president’s performance and 47 percent disapprove. Women are much less divided, with 63 percent of women disapproving of the president’s performance and 30 percent stating that they approve, according to the 2018 national survey by the Pew Research Center. Spitzer said that younger voters, racial-minority voters and lower-income voters are less likely to participate in midterm elections, which are groups that typically vote for Democratic candidates. However, Faith Colburn, advocacy coordinator for Associated Students’ Lobby Corps Commission, said she thinks students will show up to vote this year. “We’re registering students to vote and getting their take on issues and things like that. I think people are excited,” Colburn said. Natalie Fousekis is a professor of history at CSUF who specializes in grassroots politics and the history of women in politics. She said there is current talk of 2018 being the next Year of the Woman. The original Year of the Woman happened in 1992 when there was a “record-breaking number” of women running for Congress, which led to more women going to the polls, Fousekis said. In 1992, 11 women won major party nominations and ran in Senate races while 106 women contended for House seats in the general election nationally, according to the Office of the Historian. Currently, women hold 23 percent of the 100 seats in the Senate and 19.3 percent of the 435 seats in

the House of Representatives, according to the Center for American Women and Politics. “(With) the women’s marches that started the day after he got elected, the #MeToo movement which was launched a year ago today, and the Kavanaugh hearings from two weeks ago (all play a role) for women’s participation in the political process,” Fousekis said. She said that if the women who organized marches and movements go to the polls, women could play a significant role in whether the Democrats retake the house or not. The panel also talked about the chance of a “blue wave” in the midterm elections. Stephen J. Stambough, a professor of political science, said that Democrats get excited during the presidential years but not during the midterm years. “The blue wave may come in, (but) it may crash because there were certain areas in the state, particularly in Orange County, where the Democrats didn’t invest in (their) party building,” Stambough said.Stambough said that while some districts may get the Democratic vote, “the 39th looks like it’s going to be a coin toss.” Colburn said the job of student leaders is to educate students about issues surrounding the election and “to empower them to make their own decisions” based on the information they have been provided. “You can do something with that passion, you can do something with those ideas that you have and a great way to do that is to vote and make your voice heard,” Colburn said.

LGBTQ workers face injustices Freedom of religion does not excuse unfair mistreatment.

ALYSSA LOPEZ Opinion Editor

Texas Christian conservative groups, U.S. Pastors Council and Texas Values, believe that they have the right to legally discriminate against LGBTQ workers because it goes against their religious rights. The two groups filed multiple lawsuits earlier this month in hopes that the courts will agree to their claims that it is a constitutional right to fire or not hire

people within the LGBTQ community, according to Vox. Christian groups claim that not allowing them to discriminate against another group of people violates their First Amendment rights. This is absurd and unjust. While Americans have the right to practice in any religion, the First Amendment ensures that there can not be an established religion. This means all citizens don’t have to practice and follow the same religion or any religion at all. Freedom of religion is not an excuse to discriminate against any group of people. Christian groups may have the right to practice their religion, but allowing them to discriminate against people based on their religious beliefs forces others to comply with this certain religion. Historically, different groups of people have dealt with discrimination in some way. Whether it be race, gender, religious views or sexual orientation,

discrimination is something that can never be acceptable. It is not fair to take rights away from someone else just to fulfill a personal happiness, because no one group is more important than another. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers and labor unions from discriminating against people based on race, religion, national origin and gender. In 2015, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled that sexual orientation discrimination is also prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to Human Rights Campaign. The sexual orientation of someone and what they do in their personal lives, does not affect their ability to work or the quality of work they produce. Besides prohibiting employers from discriminating against any individuals, The Civil Rights Act of 1964 also banned segregation in public places, so minorities could no longer be refused

service based on skin color. The act also created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which has the ability to file lawsuits for workers who feel mistreated. The U.S. Pastors Council wants Christian businesses to be exempt from the employment discrimination protection set in place by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to Vox. They stated in their complaint, that the interpretation by the equal employment opportunity commission of Title VII, which is a part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, “violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment, because it fails to exempt employers that hold sincere religious objections to homosexual or transgender behavior.” Religion is a personal choice. What a person chooses to practice and believe in doesn’t need to affect the lives of others. People need to remember that if they choose to be religious, it’s not

something they can force others to follow. The U.S. Pastors Council claims that allowing the discrimination of LGBTQ workers is protected by the Freedom Restoration Act, according to Vox, which prohibits the government “from substantially burdening a person’s exercise of religion,” according to the act. In the same way the Christian groups believe that they are being stopped from living the life they want, people within the LGBTQ community may see this discrimination as a similar roadblock. The two conservative Christian groups just want to do what they believe is right and what makes them happy. Yet, it’s hypocritical to ask for something that would take that exact right away from someone else. Everyone has their own life to live and how they choose to do that doesn’t need to be the concern of anyone else, whether they personally agree with it or not.

Changing the perspective on sexuality Women often face negativity because of sexual stigmas. BAILEY JONES

Asst. Lifestyle Edtor

Women who embrace their sexuality face a stigma: Expression of their bodies results in being labeled as a slut. However, in light of growing conversation of women’s rights like the #MeToo movement, now is the time for women to rise up and take back their sexuality and their image. The words sexy and slut often ended up in the same sentence, and seem to carry similar meanings in today’s society. Ladies cannot hide the body of a woman they are growing into, and are taught to hate it. Slut shaming is one of the most excused aspects of rape culture and can be highly hypocritical, according to Kellen Franklin, a social work major with a psychology minor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. “Men will beg you for sex and then afterwards, once they get what they want, you’re a slut,” Franklin said. “If women start to control their sexuality, she controls herself and that’s a concept that can be really scary to some men.” Ownership of one’s own body is key in leading the new generation of women to accept each other for who they are. Seventy-two percent of college-aged females experienced appearance-related bullying during

adolescence for an average period of five years, according to a study found in ScienceDirect. Teasing ranged from weight and body shape, to facial attributes and overall appearance. For some girls surrounded by this kind of negativity, it can be a hard thing to ignore. It takes time and maturity to ignore the constant hate on social media, according to Instagram influencer Rebecca Sanez. She said she feels the entitlement toward women’s bodies on social media only makes things harder for those just trying to be themselves. “I’ve experienced men feeling entitled to my body, saying what I can post and questioning why I do it, and I give them the answer, ‘Because I can,’” Sanez said. But Sanez said she knows at the end of the day, the only person’s opinion that matters is her own. “Just feeling good about my body and accepting the way I look makes me feel sexy,” Sanez said. “I don’t post pictures to get guys. I post pictures because I like the way I look.” For two women, stripping and doing sex work was the key to becoming more self-confident. “(Stripping) made me realize that being sexy isn’t just wearing Victoria Secret underwear, there’s a million different aspects of it … it’s just how you carry yourself,” said Callie Brogley, a YouTuber, Instagram influencer and stripper. Although stripping gave Brogley confidence, she did not always approve of girls working

in the sex industry. “Two years ago, before me, there was another girl (in my area) who got into porn and she was the whore of the whole town … I used to have the same opinion,” Brogley said about how she used to view sex working. She now sees this work simply as a job and not who she is. “It’s doing my work and then coming home just like anyone else,” Brogley said.“I have the ability to do so many different things with myself. I can be a stripper one day and then do something completely different the other day… I think that’s empowering.” Profiting from sexuality also plays a role in contributing to the stigma, but according to adult model Brandi Johnson, that’s part of what builds confidence. Adult modeling can be a supportive community for women learning to accept themselves. “It’s not just the money coming in that makes you feel like ‘Wow I can do this.’ It’s just the amount of confidence you get doing it that builds you up so immensely,” Johnson said. Johnson said it took her a long time to love her body just as she is, including the curves she has. “There is a big community for just curves and big women in general,” Johnson said. There is a strong stigma associated with women in the adult industry, and women are often called loose, cheap and even untrustworthy. “Doing anything in sex work

can take an immense toll on your mental health just because of those type of people, (they’re) not even clients you’re seeing,” Johnson said. Many times women tear each other apart, from commenting

about somebody’s weight to saying they are completely worthless. “How are those standards ever going to stop if a woman is continuously saying it to another woman?” Sanez said.

Titans de-stress with furry friends Animals

on Campus

CSUF brings animal therapy to campus to promote sleep and self-care for students. BAILEY JONES

Asst. Lifestyle Editor

Walking into the TitanWell patio on select Wednesdays, furry friends such as Moana the bunny and Monet the poodle, are prepared to bring peace to students’ turbulent lives. TitanWell is recognized at Cal State Fullerton for student outreach and the promotion of healthy choices. Offering several on-campus services, dog therapy is one of them. While the peer education programs range in focuses, this event specifically highlights sleep and self-care. Run by peer health educator Lynette De Los Ángeles and the sleep and self-care team, this program is by the students, for the students. The team works under Gloria Flores, a Cal State Fullerton health educator. Referring to themselves as the Dream Team, they work to provide a relaxing environment. “We try our best to make it as calm as possible and the Student Wellness patio is a great place to do that,” Los Ángeles said. TitanWell works with Pet Partners OC, who provide the service animals for the event. Both the handlers and the animals hop on board as volunteers and those at TitanWell like to think the combination of furry friend and human create a more enjoyable experience, Flores said. Visiting the animals is free of charge, but does require some time to wait. A waiver must be signed for safety and legal purposes, and students must wait in a line to have time with a dog. This ensures that the pet is not overwhelmed and that everyone can have one-on-one time. Active Minds, a club on campus that tries to raise awareness

for mental health, provided materials for painting, coloring and a do-it-yourself lavender spray, maintaining the relaxing theme at the Wellness Center throughout the event. “I believe it kind of helps students realize that self-care is important and we try to give them that time to do that … If we can have other activities for them as well to show some things they can do on their own, that’s important,” said Raymond Nguyen, president of Active Minds. The TitanWell Hut, an informational booth set up on campus, also made an appearance. Reaching out to passerbys to play a game of “Jeopardy!” Rienne Medina was able to relay some helpful stress-related statistics. “According to a survey done on campus, 40 percent of students feel an overwhelming

amount of stress,” Medina said. She encouraged that a 20-to30-minute nap has the same energy-building benefits as drinking a cup of coffee. The organizers try to put on the event at least six times throughout the semester for students. Hosting over 100 Titans this fall, the turnout for this event has continually increased. They hope to keep expanding the program as it is still in its beginning stages. Though other dog therapy programs exist on campus, the event held by TitanWell has been the longest running one, according to Flores. First established in 2015, creator of the event Laura Ross held a smaller-scaled version of the event to determine whether or not it would be successful and it has continued ever since. Karla Perez, a member of the

Dream Team, noted that some of the events offered can become hectic as they are held in the Quad or in a highly populated area. However, she emphasized the necessity for personal wellness and how that can be achieved through this program. “It’s really useful. Its really unique. We have 40,000 students and counseling and psychological services are impacted. We only book out appointments two weeks in advance,” Perez said, regarding animal therapy. The high demand for psychological services makes the event an alternative to signing up for a talk therapy appointment if students need a quick break to relax and take a breather. The dog therapy sessions will continue to meet on select Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Defensive specialist Savahna Costello’s four digs against the 49ers pushes her to 190 for the season thus far.

Libero Neena Dimas had nine digs in the match against the 49ers.

A 3-0 loss against Long Beach increased the Titans losing streak.

later sets opened up the court for middle blocker Haley Carmo, who recorded 6 kills in the match. She now has 24 kills over the last four games, which is second on the team over that span. Only outside hitter Felicia Marshall has more (28). “Haley is a workhorse and she does not care if the people in front of her are 6 feet 4 inches tall. She is confident and knows that she can score when we need her to,” Preston said. Preston went deep into her bench Tuesday, playing 14 Titans. Freshmen Elizabeth Schryer, Maya Riddlesprigger

Cal State Fullerton volleyball extended its losing streak to 14 games after being swept by Long Beach State on Tuesday night at the Walter Pyramid. Outside hitter Maddie Schneider came out after four points in the first set due to a left knee injury. The senior was down for a minute before being helped off of the court on one leg.

The Titans committed 11 hitting errors and lost the first set by a season-high 19 points, Schneider returned to the bench during the third set. “They just know it’s something with her knee. We don’t really diagnose until we can get back to Fullerton and let the doctor look at it,” said Titans head coach Ashley Preston. Despite the loss, Preston said Fullerton played better in the second and third sets. “We improved on serving with pressure. Even though we didn’t get any service aces, we still got them out of system more. Our passing was better, so our sideout percentage was

higher,” Preston said. While the ensuing sets were more competitive contests, the result did not change. The Titans finished with 20 hitting errors and five ball-handling errors. Preston switched offenses from two setters, to just Courtney Mueller after all three setters had committed a double-contact violation. “It was really just for consistency purposes. Our other two setters weren’t really being confident with their setting skills, so we needed to have the most confident one executing,” Preston said. The improved passing in the

and Tatiana Toleafoa all saw the court against the 49ers. Riddlesprigger started in the middle over Summer Kerins, which Preston said was for blocking purposes. Kerins has now appeared in all but three games. The Titans will host Hawaii on Saturday at 7 p.m. Hawaii is second in the Big West conference, with its only loss coming at the hands of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Preston joked that she doesn’t know what the Titans will practice heading into the match presumably without Schneider. “Do you have any ideas for me right now?” Preston said.
