Car stolen in Nutwood Parking Structure is part of a consistent trend in vehicle theft at CSUF since 2015.

Transphobic arguments against bathroom law are based on emotion rather than logic.

Cal State Fullerton University Police and the Fullerton Fire Department have responded to a total of 119 alarms so far this year. While most alarms are false, they still perform procedures that include evacuating the area and alerting the nearest fire department.

“We try to respond to every single one of (the fire alarms) like they’re real,” said University Police Capt.

Scot Willey. “You know

you’re probably responding to the same faulty alarm …

But we still have to get out there immediately.”

Willey said common causes for fire alarms are burnt popcorn, other foods or steam from the cleaning facilities.

“We know it (bothers) people that they are having to evacuate again from a certain building, but it’s important. Everything that we’re doing is training for the actual event,” Willey said.

The resources for such procedures aren’t free.

The University Police operating budget and the university pay for expenses like building marshal equipment, emergency evacuation

chairs and the paramedics if needed.

Each are equally as important as the next, as they all serve their own purposes within fire alarm emergencies to potentially save a life.

“

Building marshals run a visual sweep of each floor and radio their findings to police dispatch.

The campus has approximately 290 building marshals made up of employees who oversee every floor.

We need our building marshals to guide them appropriately. We need radio traffic to be appropriate. We need our fire response.

“

Emergency resources deemed necessary for preparedness.

SCOT WILLEY University Police captain When responding to an alarm, University Police conducts a visual check of the area to see if there is an internal or nonexistent fire. Then, they immediately evacuate the building.

Emergency Management coordinator Sue Fisher created the training program for building marshals who are given a hard hat, vest, whistle and occasionally a two-way radio

or megaphone.

University Police Support Services Capt. John Brockie said building marshal outfits cost $14, a total cost of $4,060 to cover all employees. Each building has a radio that costs $500 and megaphones that cost $30 each. The supplies are funded from the University Police operating budget.

After a false alarm, University Police notifies the dispatch center and people are allowed to reoccupy the building. Firefighters from Station 5, CSUF’s local fire department, respond to every alarm call, and even if the alarm is false, they reset and turn them off.

Titans stomp Anteaters 3-1 Samuel Goni scored two goals to lead the Titans on the road.

KAILA CRUZ

Assistant Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer bounced back from a winless week with a 3-1 victory over the UC Irvine Anteaters in a foul-filled match.

The game began aggressively as captain Nicolo D’Amato picked up a yellow card in the 16th minute as part of a 13 foul flurry between the two teams in the first 20 minutes of the game before Samuel Goni scored in the 32nd minute off an assist by Diego Sanchez.

“He’s just coming back into his own. He’s starting to score goals. I think he can score a lot more throughout the year,” Titans Head Coach George Kuntz told Cal State Fullerton Sports Media. “He has a big future if he continues this way.”

Goni’s goal gave the Titans a 1-0 lead to end the half, but the Anteaters came out firing in the second frame, taking six shots.

“They had the ball a lot, but they weren’t really dangerous,”

BAILEY CARPENTER / DAILY TITAN

Hailing from Marcella, Navarra, Spain, Samuel Goni ranks second on the Titans with six goals after scoring two against UC Irvine. Ross McPhie leads the team with seven goals and now ranks fifth in the Big West for goals scored.

Goni told Cal State Fullerton Sports Media.

Goni made sure the Anteaters’ attempts were for naught,

scoring his second goal of the evening a minute after subbing back into the game in the 58th minute.

The goal was Goni’s sixth of the season and was assisted

by Corentin Ohlmann, which tied him with teammate Ross

HANNAH MILLER / DAILY TITAN

The University Police Department operating budget and the CSUF Division of Administration and Finance pay for expenses that help prepare police for emergency situations. These expenses include emergency evacuation chairs and building marshal equipment for 290 marshals across campus.

The glossy pages of Cal State Fullerton’s Tusk Magazine this spring will be produced with the guidance of new assistant communications professor Chelsea Reynolds.

The accomplished journalist and media researcher has contributed to the world of magazines since graduating from Iowa State University. Reynolds’ works have been featured in popular outlets like the Huffington Post, Vox and Cosmopolitan, among other publications.

Journalism wasn’t always her plan. Initially, Reynolds had a passion for poetry and wanted to pursue a degree in English. It was her professor and mentor at Iowa State Debra Gibson who encouraged her to change directions.

FRANK RUSSELL Communications professor “Without her, I never would’ve started working in journalism. It wouldn’t have occurred to me that that was a career choice,” Reynolds said.

After graduating from Iowa, she joined the editorial team at Men’s Health in Pennsylvania where she first became interested in researching sexuality content in magazines. She decided to pursue a master’s degree in journalism at the University of Missouri and later went on to get a doctoral degree in mass communications at the University of Minnesota.

Reynolds is especially fascinated by the way individuals in marginalized communities use the internet as a resource to find other people like themselves.

“I’m really interested in the ways that LGBT people and women use media to communicate their own values and belief systems and to sort of take back the narratives in mainstream media, whether in magazines or newspapers. Those narratives sometimes marginalize people or assume facts about sex or gender for readers that aren’t necessarily true,” Reynolds said.

$2,250 each.

The $46,375 total spent on these chairs is paid for by a universitywide safety fund budgeted and provided by the Division of Administration and Finance.

The fire department doesn’t charge CSUF for false alarms. If there is a medical emergency, costs are covered by the individual who requires aid.

Paramedics strongly suggest that students go to the hospital if they are seriously injured but if not, students have the option to sign a release form and deny the ambulance.

Willey said people while some people might not prefer to leave in an ambulance, “most of the time, people understand why.”

To keep students protected

Over the last three years, the number of car theft cases on campus has decreased at a slight rate, but the number remains consistently over 20 vehicles a year. University Police Capt. Scot Willey said the number of cases is low compared to other universities.

University sees its 21st oncampus car theft of 2017 Stolen vehicle in Nutwood lot part of consistent trend.

NICHOLE TORRES Asst. News Editor

Vehicle theft is a serious on-campus crime at Cal State Fullerton, and cases have remained steady over the last three years.

Last Thursday, a CSUF student had her car stolen in the Nutwood Parking Structure while in class. After class, she headed to the structure and found that her car was not there.

“She came back around three or four in the afternoon and could not find her car, so parking and transportation was nice enough to drive her around the structure to try and find her vehicle. They couldn’t find it, and then our officers went and started searching other lots, other structures and

they weren’t able to find it.

So they determined it was stolen,” said University Police Capt. Scott Willey.

The information on the 1993 brown Honda Accord LX, valued at about $3,000, was immediately put into a nationwide database used to report all stolen vehicles.

“It’s literally called the stolen vehicle system. Any time that plate is run anywhere in the country from

universities, University Police is making it a priority to control vehicle thefts on campus.

“I also came from Cal State Long Beach. I was with their police department for 12 years and we had some years where we had upward of 70. So I guess, comparatively, it’s a smaller number but still, it’s too much for any of us,” Willey said.

now on, it’ll come up as a red flag as stolen,” Willey said.

Twenty-one cases of stolen vehicles were reported so far this year at CSUF, down from the 23 cases in 2016 and 24 in 2015. Despite the low number of cases compared to other

Many of the vehicles that are stolen are used for joyrides that usually get left in a different area or used as a sort of training for gang members. However, there has been a spike in thefts of catalytic converters, a car component that lessens the toxicity of car exhaust.

“So 10 years ago, that was a big theft ring or a spree that was going on. Catalytic converters were getting stolen out from underneath cars and trucks and they take those and they sell them for a lot more,” Willey said.

The recently stolen vehicle has not been recovered, according to the latest report, but University Police are on the lookout.

Willey said University Police has a higher chance of recovering the stolen vehicle if it has a LoJack, a radio transceiver that can be tracked by police.

“I think a while back we had a LoJack hit where we recovered a vehicle because we have LoJack in our police cars. So if you have LoJack in your car, that’s something that we can pick up no matter whether you’re with the university or not,” Willey said.

NEWS 3 Two beehives agitated on campus THURSDAY OCTOBER 19, 2017

Student Health Center saw influx of stings during Canyon Fire 2.

PAOLENA COMOUCHE Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton’s Student Health Center was kept busy Oct. 9 by numerous students with one common, albeit unexpected, problem: bee stings.

On Tuesday of last week, Canyon Fire 2 blazed its way across 8,000 acres of land.

However, the fire was not the only thing fueled by the heavy Santa Ana winds.

Richard Boucher, Student Health Center chief staff physician, said two beehives on campus were blown over by the strong winds, irritating the bees within and causing them to sting people in the area.

Boucher said six different students visited CSUF’s Student Health Center the day of the incident with stings ranging from one to 15.

“I’m sure there were probably more than that, but those were just the ones that came in,” Boucher said.

In response to the many cases coming in simultaneously, the nursing supervisor contacted Facilities Management, a campus organization that works to promote safety awareness.

Facilities Management roped off both areas that surrounded the hives, one of which was in Lot A, while the other was near the ticket booth by the Clayes Performing Arts Center.

While driving near CPAC, university safety trainer Frank Chavoya and his colleague spotted one of the blown over hives that had already been roped off. After

PAOLENA COMOUCHE / DAILY TITAN

Six students visited the Student Health Center Oct. 9 to be treated for bee stings after two beehives were blown over by strong winds. Student Health Center Chief Staff Physician Richard Boucher said he expects there were probably more affected.

investigating the scene, Chavoya called Facilities Management and had them contact two different companies to see about retrieving the hive.

Neither of the companies were able to arrive in a timely manner, so Chavoya and his colleague took it upon themselves to find a makeshift solution to the problem.

“More students or staff would have gotten stung, so we actually suited up. We didn’t have the proper bee suit to pick up the hive safely, but we used a hazmat suit and doubled up on the gloves,” Chavoya said.

After safely recovering the hive, they put it into a storage area until the company was able to come

pick it up and save the bees inside.

This was not the first bee incident that has occurred on campus, Chavoya said.

The Environmental Health and Safety Offices had gotten reports of a high amount of bees on campus once last semester, and once over summer.

However, Chavoya said

the reports did not include hives or excessive stinging problems, nor was he made aware of any signs of bee aggression.

In response to this unusual situation, the Environmental Health and Safety Offices invested in equipment to prepare for potential future incidents.

“Seeing how this last

beehive incident affected the students and campus community, our office went out and purchased legitimate bee suits and a smoker,” Chavoya said. “We’re going to make a kit so that if it does happen again in the future, we’re more prepared and can respond in a more timely manner and keep students from being stung.”

She strives to shed light on marginalized communities and knock down boundaries to unify society.

“We don’t need to think about things as isolated from one another,” Reynolds said.

“I think seeing that our venn diagrams overlap more than they are separate is pretty important.”

Her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis during the first semester of her doctorate program led her to re-evaluate her career as a journalist and geared her toward academia instead.

“I think I would’ve stayed in journalism if my mom didn’t get sick,” Reynolds said. “After she passed, it was just obvious to me that I wanted this ongoing ability to sort of dig deep into the questions I want to ask intellectually and also work with students and impact them positively. Those are things my mom would’ve very much approved of.”

Reynolds first taught journalism and media studies at DePaul University, a private school, but when the opportunity to teach at CSUF presented itself, the choice was easy. Being in the public school system herself as a college student, she felt it was important to give back to a community she can relate to.

“I’ve seen her teach, and students respond to her teaching style very well,” Russell said. “I’ve seen her interact with other faculty in the department, and everyone likes her very much as far as I can tell.”

Reynolds teaches five classes in journalism and digital media, One of her current Reporting for Mass Media students, broadcast journalism major Jared Adams, is glad he has Reynolds as a professor this semester and is considering taking Feature Article Writing during winter session with her as well.

“She’s great. She’s there for her students,” Adams said. “She’s got a lot of knowledge to give us as students in the classroom.”

Reynolds feels like she can relate to going through the same struggles CSUF communications students often experience, balancing paying bills, interning, making classes, getting enough sleep and balancing a social life.

“I think it’s cool to see younger students going through the same thing. We can all just help each other and I think those opportunities are good here for me,” Reynolds said.

6 OPINION Transphobic criticism is void of logic

THURSDAY OCTOBER 19, 2017

Arguments against LGBTQ law are based solely on emotion.

SOPHIA ACEVEDO Asst. Opinion Editor

Cal State Fullerton held it’s second civil dialogue event, “LGBTQ+ & The Bathroom Laws,” last week. While discussion was free-flowing and many opinions were voiced, an overwhelming realization came to fruition—a lot of the arguments made against transgender bathroom laws were only about personal discomfort rather than logical reasoning.

Transgender bathroom laws are already in effect in California, but can easily be overturned like in North Carolina or end before implementation like in Texas.

Some Republicans do everything they can to stop these bills, even if it means using poor logical arguments.

The most popular reasoning against these bathroom laws is that allowing transgender individuals use their preferred bathroom puts others at risk.

The truth is, all transgender individuals want is to pee in peace. They aren’t trying to cause any trouble for anyone else.

Narrow-minded people can be extremely rude, especially toward transgender women who are forced to use men’s bathrooms.

The risk of receiving condescending remarks is higher among trans women using the restroom than anyone else.

The physical attributes of transgender men also make it difficult for them to simply walk into a women’s restroom without a weird glance.

Due to uses of testosterone

BREANNA BELKEN / DAILY TITAN

At the event, “LGBTQ+ & The Bathroom Laws,” students voiced their opinions about transgender bathroom bills. Opponents’ reasoning against LGBTQ bill were fallacious and fueled by illogical reasoning mixed with emotion.

boosters, transgender men start to grow body and facial hair, and develop deeper voices. Forcing trans men to use women’s bathrooms is the kind of thing most of these opponents want to avoid.

There is a false belief that other people will abuse their bathroom rights and act like they are a different gender, and it’s undermining the rights of transgender people.

Washington and California have signed such bathroom laws into place and

there haven’t had any reports of people pretending to be transgender or transgender people abusing their rights.

Being transgender has nothing to do with changing gender out of the blue. People who are transgender do not consider themselves to be the gender they were assigned to at birth.

If people are personally uncomfortable with the situation, it should be voiced as a personal dislike instead of a reason to prevent people from using their desired bathroom.

If in the future there are accounts of transgender individuals attacking others then there would be supporting evidence. But seeing as that isn’t the case, the only things backing up these arguments are bigotry and ignorance.

This hateful agenda is no secret to the transgender community, but changing the rules to better accommodate them would be a good step in reversing the trauma they face for states that don’t already have a bathroom bill.

In many cases, it’s not the

rest of society that needs protection. It’s the transgender community that needs to be treated humanely.

In a job setting, 90 percent of transgender people who were surveyed reported experiencing some form of harassment, mistreatment or discrimination, according to the National LGBTQ Task Force.

The real issue that many can’t seem to fully acknowledge is that they don’t accept transgender people. The little bubble that many have lived in has been popped as

LGBTQ rights have expanded in recent years.

Same-sex marriage became a huge milestone for so many people but for so many more, it became a so-called detriment to their seemingly perfect society.

Bathroom laws are the next major stepping stone and rather than see it as something that can be beneficial to everyone, many are stubborn and determined to come up with any reason to not let it pass, even if their arguments are fueled by fear, ignorance and personal distaste.

OPINION 7 Viral sensations gain undeserved fame THURSDAY OCTOBER 19, 2017

National attention is for those who actually earn it.

JULIAN MUNIZ Staff Writer

There has been a recent increase in fame and popularity around incoherent and talentless individuals who break the internet with recorded acts of stupidity.

They do not deserve the attention and it’s annoying to watch.

Videos of these extreme personalities attract millions of views around the world, giving them the opportunity to become an overnight social media sensation.

Danielle Bregoli coined the phrase “Cash Me Outside,” after appearing on “Dr. Phil” and exploding into the spotlight. The 14-yearold girl grew popular by being horribly disrespectful to both her mother and Dr. Phil on live television.

It is infuriating to watch someone like her score a multimillion-dollar contract with Atlantic Records and have a TV show in preproduction.

It seems ridiculous but society enjoys watching the outrageous messy life of an attention-seeking teenager, even if it’s at her own expense. People who watch her content don’t take into account the rude comments she is praised for.

Teens like Bregoli seek attention through the wrong

Viral internet sensations like Danielle Bregoli are famous for all the wrong reasons and are stealing the spotlight from those who deserve recognition. Social Media users are to blame for making rude and childish individuals popular among young people.

means and although they don’t deserve it, they continue to receive.

There are so many people in the world who have gone above and beyond in their fields of expertise and contributed to society a lot more than some of these do-nothing stars, yet they continue to

go unnoticed due to this type of celebrity hierarchy.

“Firefighters from the recent fires were actually inmates, so those inmates don’t get noticed just because of who they are. But someone like the ‘Cash Me Outside’ girl gets more fame,” said CSUF business

major Janine Kison.

These talentless online personalities only become more popular when people talk about them. There is no escaping the trending disease once it spreads across all media platforms.

CSUF child development major Tiana Simons said that

the rise of fame in internet celebrities is unjustified to all other people who deserve it.

“It’s not really fair for the talented people that are working really hard trying to become famous,” Simons said.

Although the spreading of

these stupid internet personalities seems like an inevitable force, people can stop the spreading of this content by ignoring it and simply scrolling past it. Instead, sharing the content of those who make an impact for the better or have actual talents should be the ones going viral.

SPORTS 8 Redemption: Men’s soccer trounces Irvine THURSDAY OCTOBER 19, 2017

“I think I’m building my confidence more. We have

great players. They make good passes, so I have a great team to help me a lot,” Goni said.

UCI finally managed to

scratch in the 68th minute when Mario Ortiz found the back of the net to cut the Titans’ lead to one and help the

Anteaters dodge a shutout.

They wouldn’t get any closer though, as the Titans answered back in the 83rd

minute with a goal from McPhie off an assist from Goni.

This put the Titans up 3-1 and allowed McPhie to retake the

team lead in goals before the game even ended.

“We bent but we didn’t break,” Kuntz said.

CSUF hopes to climb Big West leaderboards Fullerton has the chance to reclaim its previous standings.

HARRISON FAIGEN Managing Editor

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer aims to stop its drop in the Big West Standings by hitting the road to take on the Cal Poly Mustangs Thursday before returning home to host the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos Sunday.

The Titans (2-1-1) are currently in fifth place in the conference following their 1-1 tie against the UC Davis Aggies Sunday.

Cal Poly sits significantly lower in the standings.

The rest of the Big West has stampeded over the last-place Mustangs, who are just 1-4 in conference play.

The Mustangs have allowed 10 goals since entering Big West play. Only UCSB (11) has allowed more.

Cal Poly has been better offensively, doing so by committee, as none of its players rank in the top five in the Big West in goals, assists, points or shots. Still, Cal Poly is tied for second in the Big West with seven goals in conference play.

The outstanding potential of Morgan Bertsch looks to put Cal Poly’s offense to the test. The senior goalkeeper has the best goals-against

Titans goalie Morgan Bertsch has recorded five shutout matches since the beginning of the season, her most recent one being against the Long Beach State 49ers.

Bertsch has received two Big West awards after having standout performances in conference play.

average in the Big West (0.71 per game), leaving the Titans tied with the Aggies for first in fewest goals scored against in conference play (2).

Bertsch has been awarded Big West Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week twice this season for her efforts and was

nominated for a third award for her play over the prior weekend.

The Gauchos will test Bertsch and her fellow Titans when they come home to Titan Stadium. UCSB (along with Cal State Northridge) is tied for second in the Big West in goals in conference play with

seven, compared to the Titans’ six.

UCSB’s offense is led by forward Amanda Ball, who has racked up 10 goals this season to lead the Big West. Ball is the only player in the conference to score double-digit goals, and she consequently also leads the conference with 22 points.

However, Ball has been the main threat for the Gauchos and as a result, the team still stands tied for second to last in the Big West with Long Beach State with a record of 1-4 in conference play.

The Titans have been a bit more balanced offensively, as forward Sarah

Fajnor is tied for second in the Big West with six goals, while midfielder Samantha Koemans and forward Atlanta Primus also stand in the top ten in goals in the conference with five each.

CSUF kicks off against Cal Poly at 7 p.m. Thursday and takes on UCSB Sunday at 5 p.m.
