Alleged rape reported to CSUF police Campus security authority said case occurred in Elm Hall.

NICHOLE TORRES Asst. News Editor

A reported rape occurred in Cal State Fullerton’s University Housing according to the University Police Department.

The anonymous report, which was filed by a campus security authority (CSA),

stated that an alleged rape occurred in Elm Hall of the Residence Halls Oct. 5.

Because the rape was reported by a CSA, the report was sent to University Police.

However, even the authorities did not receive complete

information on the case.

“It’s a CSA report that is sent to us, which is their form with a few remarks on it, which can literally be vague information,” said CSUF Police Capt. Scot Willey in a text message.

Who are campus security authorities?

• Members of a university’s police department or campus security.

• Other individuals or organizations responsible for campus security.

• Any official with significant responsibility for student or campus activities including student housing, student discipline and judicial proceedings.

Samuel Goni nets Player of the Week SQE event aims to promote diversity The Titans forward is the first to earn the award this season.

YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA Sports Editor

After his immense contributions helped Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer remain undefeated in its latest week of conference play, Titans forward Samuel Goni was awarded his first-ever Offensive Player of the Week award.

He was much less impressed with his performance than the Big West was.

“At the end of the day, it’s just player of the week,” Goni said. “It means I scored some goals, and it’ll keep me confident for the next game.”

Week five of Big West conference play was a triumphant one for Goni and the Titans after the Spanish-native scored three goals to go with one assist.

Goni now leads the CSUF roster in goals. He also ranks highly on the Big West leaderboards and stands in a five-way tie for third place along with Ross McPhie, Daniel Trejo, Rodney Michael and Ivan Canales.

The forward contributed to all three of the Titans’

Unity Block Party workshop, speaker schedule released.

CSUF’s Samuel Goni (9) climbed to the top spot on the men’s soccer roster after his shot attempts during the week found the back of the net three times. Goni now totals seven goals for the season, tying him for first with teammate Ross McPhie.

goals in the match against the UCI Anteaters, scoring two back-to-back before assisting on CSUF’s third and final goal of the evening.

Goni’s energy on the field against the Anteaters earned the Titans redemption after having a tough 2-1 loss against the UC

Riverside Highlanders just a week prior.

“It’s always positive to score. It always makes me happy. I wasn’t strong at

the beginning of the season. I didn’t score much,” Goni said.

This Halloween season marks the Fullerton’s 17th annual Haunted Walking Tours, a guided excursion throughout Downtown Fullerton that combines local history with the paranormal.

“We focus on the historic buildings and sites, and their histories of ghosts and hauntings,” said Aimee Aul, education coordinator for the Fullerton Museum.

The tour begins at the Fullerton Museum at 6 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Visitors walk approximately 1.5 miles and can stop at several of the city’s most famous buildings.

“Every tour is a little different, and that’s kind of the fun of the tours,” Aul said.

This year’s tour includes stops at the Villa Del Sol in Downtown Fullerton, as well as the historic Fox Theatre and the Le Potager gift and antique shop.

In response to Milo Yiannopoulos’ “Troll Academy” tour stop at Cal State Fullerton on Halloween, Students for Quality Education will co-host the Unity Block Party with multiple student organizations.

The Unity Block Party will be a peaceful event, according to the official event page, and will provide workshops, tabling organizations and speakers.

Workshops will begin in the afternoon and continue into the evening when speakers and live music take the stage.

The workshops will be hosted by CSUF faculty members and representatives of local organizations covering topics including activism, raising transgender awareness and understanding the rights of undocumented individuals.

Elaine Lewinnek, Ph.D., a CSUF professor of American studies, will host a workshop titled “A History of Orange County Activism.”

The activity will highlight non-conservative activism in Orange County, which Lewinnek discovered when researching for her upcoming book.

Lewinnek decided to participate in the Unity Block Party because she said she feels students should have “alternative choices” to Yiannopoulos’ visit Oct. 31.

She will also be tabling with the American Studies Student Association.

“I think what makes CSUF great is our diversity and our civil dialogue,” Lewinnek said. “I wanted students to have a chance for all of that.”

In a joint effort between the California State University Chancellor’s Office and the CSUs, university library collections are available to student and faculty researchers of all disciplines statewide through a software tool called OneSearch.

Instead of limiting CSUF researchers to the 1 million books of the Pollak Library at CSUF, OneSearch allows access to over 29 million books in the CSU system.

“OneSearch is the culmination of a three-year project amongst all of the Cal State Universities,” said Mike DeMars, Pollak Library systems and instruction librarian.

The Pollak Library rolled out the new online public access catalog in June 2017.

Prior to its soft summer release, OneSearch was demonstrated to college deans, the Academic Senate and faculty and thoroughly tested on its features.

“What you are seeing now is the result of extensive user testing that was conducted at four different campuses,” DeMars said.

“We did all this testing to make sure we had something good out the gate but ultimately, your biggest group of testers is going to be the public.”

The Pollak Library website states that OneSearch features an intuitive, user-friendly interface that makes it easy to find, cite and save materials from all the CSU library collections.

“I think that’s excellent,” said English major Chelsea Harrinson. “With more resources extending from other campus libraries, it’s not so limited to what our campus has to offer.”

With the new feature CSU+, students, staff and faculty can request a physical book from any other CSU campus library to be delivered to their home campus within two to three days.

As the semester is well under way, OneSearch is receiving mixed reviews. Some professors say it is unclear whether OneSearch is more efficient than the old system.

Complaints have been

voiced by faculty and students that OneSearch is too broad, has difficulties filtering search criteria and lacks access to previous databases.

“I think that students are flummoxed by it and not sure how to use it,” said Ellen Caldwell, associate English professor, Ph.D. “My sense is that the caliber of research being done by students (using OneSearch) has not improved.”

But some students have found success using the tool.

“It’s much easier to use,” Harrinson said. “Rather than giving just one academic source it gives multiple sources. The way it’s set up isn’t as difficult as the previous system.”

For students who are new to OneSearch or having difficulties with the interface, the Pollak Library systems team installed a suite of tutorial videos on the Pollak Library YouTube channel, along with an “Ask Us” icon directly on the search pages.

By clicking on the icon, researchers have access to a chat feature operated 24/7 by a campus librarian.

“We can’t anticipate everything that people are going to do and how they are going to

use it,” DeMars said.

The report a problem feature is a link that gives users the opportunity to report any issues immediately with a same day response from the library systems team, DeMars said.

OneSearch also comes installed with a robust analytics feature.

A task force made up of representatives from multiple CSU schools communicate through Slack, an interoffice channel to monitor user issues and generate reports to improve research efficiency.

“Because we all went live at the same time, we’re all getting our feet wet,” DeMars said.

With a new product like OneSearch implemented and offered to thousands of researchers simultaneously, it takes time to get the library systems team up to speed and utilize the analytics reports effectively.

“We’re all working together to make it a better product,” DeMars said.

“When you see the OneSearch icon, it’s going to be the same experience no matter where you go. All the libraries are on the same page, and we’re all talking to one another.”

The mammoth fossil display, which was installed Oct. 10, has a motion-activated perimeter alarm. The security system is triggered by things as small as a change in sunlight, however, and is being adjusted over time to ensure it works as intended.

Display alarm system sensitive to motion Titan Student Union authorities adjusting mammoth security.

NICOLETTE BELK Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton held a STEM research event for the Girl Scouts of Orange

County Oct. 15 in the Titan Student Union, where a newly installed mammoth fossil sits enclosed in a glass case.

During the event, the alarm attached to the mammoth occasionally went off when someone walked past the display.

While the attendees went about the event as if

the blaring alarm wasn’t even there, it’s clarion calls didn’t alert University Police.

“We are not aware of such an alarm there. We are not receiving anything in dispatch. There has been talk of an alarm, but it would be kept within the mammoth enclosure,” said University Police Capt. Scott Willey in

a text message.

Carol McDoniel, director of administration for Associated Students, Inc., said they are the ones who have been dealing with the alarm issue.

“Alarms like that, it’s a perimeter alarm, so it is motion activated. It is still being adjusted,” McDoniel said, adding that they believe the

current changing weather and resulting changes in sunlight are leading to the alarm malfunctioning.

Even the simplest shadowing from the sun beams can cause the alarm to sound, leaving the TSU staff to monitor it until the alarm adjusts to the new environment, McDoniel said.

The Girl Scouts event led

to a lot more foot traffic than the alarm had dealt with before, which resulted in the malfunction.

“That was reported to the facility staff and they’ve been continuing to adjust the alarm and we’re still having more adjustments that are necessary,” McDoniel said. “It’s still not working perfectly.”

COURTESY OF CSUF

Students for Quality Education is collaborating with professors and communities to hold the Unity Block Party Oct. 31 as an alternative to Milo Yiannopoulos’ visit.

Unity: Yiannopoulos counter event scheduled 1

Following the workshops, the event will move outside to the central Quad. The outside portion will have food trucks, a farmers market and a performance from local hip-hop group Weapons of Mass Creation and the Chulito Vinyl Club.

Several speakers are slated to appear, including California Assembly member Sharon Quirk-Silva and Jennicet Gutiérrez, an activist for transgender and immigrant rights.

Gutiérrez, the community organizer for Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement, said she wanted to participate in the Unity Block Party because she is local to the area and aware of Yiannopoulos’ attacks against marginalized communities.

“To me it is important to be visible, to send a

message that we are also part of the LGBTQ community,” Gutiérrez said. “Even though Yiannopoulos identifies as a gay man, we have our differences. To me, it is important to be visible and critical of the attacks.”

“

I think what makes CSUF great is our diversity and our civil dialogue. I wanted students to have a chance for all of that.

“

CONTINUED FROM

ELAINE LEWINNEK CSUF American studies professor SQE member Liz Sanchez said the group is aware students may have safety concerns being in close proximity to the Yiannopoulos event, but wanted to assure students

that plans are in place to keep the Unity Block Party safe.

Sanchez said there will be trained legal observers and police liaisons to de-escalate verbal altercations.

“If anything were to escalate, that’s when the police liaisons would get involved, and we would have police assistance,” she said.

Because the space for the event has been reserved by the Latin@ Student Psychology Association, Sanchez said the club can ask officers to remove confrontational people.

Despite this possibility, she hopes the event will inspire the community to celebrate diversity through education, art and food.

“We are going to contribute to something so much bigger than just our campus alone. It’s going to be very exciting,” Sanchez said.

Tours: Guests uncover spooky history 1

Aul said that Le Potager is also one of the most haunted spots on the tour. It was the home of Lillian Yeager, a founding pioneer in Fullerton who started a business there in the early 1900s.

“It’s just so clearly a haunted site that has her spirit stamped all over it, and there’s always new activity and unexplained occurrences,” Aul said.

The North Orange County Paranormal Society partners with the Fullerton Museum each year to host the Haunted Walking Tours and try to find scientific evidence to debunk ghost myths.

Thirty minutes before the tour begins, a “Paranormal Open House” is presented

by NOPS, where they show video and audio evidence of paranormal activity.

The types of activity include hearing unexplainable footsteps, a woman humming and sounds of objects moving on their own, according to the NOPS website.

“A lot of it supports claims of paranormal activity ...

Some of it is debunking what people think are ghosts and hauntings,” Aul said.

Sam Neill, co-founder and lead investigator of NOPS, presented evidence of the paranormal activity that he and NOPS had recently recorded at Le Potager: A 45-minute video of a crystal ornament swinging on its own, no breeze or open window nearby.

“We’re dealing with something that really does exist. It isn’t just what you see on TV,” Neill said. “Our motto for the group is to educate the public on what really happens.”

Christina Garner, a tour guide with the Fullerton Museum, has hosted the Haunted Walking Tours for over 13 years.

“There’s a mood to the fall evenings: The Halloween sky, the harvest moon comes and all over the city, people begin to feel this psychic energy,” Garner said. “(People) want to have this kind of experience, they want to get in touch with something that’s not quite explainable.”

Garner said that her tour guests are also often left with a newfound appreciation for Downtown Fullerton.

“They were looking around going, ‘We’re so lucky we have this classic downtown,’ and they were imagining, ‘What would we do if they tear it all down, tell ghost stories about McDonald’s?’” Garner said.

A special tour is also offered on Halloween which ends a little differently than the regular tours. Guests get to look inside Fox Theatre

Aul said that volunteers and workers at the museum believe in building a community through the tours.

Garner noticed that locals were brought together by the haunted walking tours.

“People just love to get together and share this folklore,” Garner said. “Everybody loves to share ghost stories with each other.”

The Front Bottoms trade depth for broader appeal The catchy and nostalgic tracks in ‘Going Grey’ may surprise fans.

KYLE BENDER Copy Editor

There’s a home for tearyeyed lovers and reminiscent delinquents alike in The Front Bottoms’ latest album “Going Grey.”

Since their first humble self-released album “I Hate My Friends” in 2008, founding members Mathew Uychich and frontman Brian Sella have maintained a familiar feel while expanding the band to four members.

The Front Bottoms has never been known for stunning rhythms or instrumentals, but what they lack in complexity they’ve made up with pure, raw emotion. The band’s early albums were intense, unprocessed outpourings of passion, confusion and camaraderie. So when longtime fans hear the poppy, overproduced first track “You Used To Say (Holy F-k),” they may be wary of the album right from the jump.

Thankfully, the opener isn’t wholly indicative of the rest of the release. While, The Front Bottoms continue to impress as they put their highs and lows on display with engaging wordplay and chord progressions, this release is on a more shallow level than usual.

A few songs on “Going Grey,” still feel like something is missing. Lyrically, Sella has traded in the long-winded, heartbreaking verses of past hits like “Twin Size Mattress” for repetitive song structures that go on a tad too long, like in the new track “Peace Sign.”

It may be easier to vocalize “So next time that she sees him, it’ll be peace sign, middle finger” than it is to sing “They cut your hair, sent you away. You stopped by my house the night you escaped. With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay.

You said ‘Hey man I love you, but no f--king way,” but the latter is far more genuine and sorely missed.

That being said, “Going Grey” isn’t inherently bad, just different. It’s less of a peek into the intimate back pages of diaries of their past records and more of a lighthearted call back to the days of being a flawed teenager. It’s the lyrical equivalent of being hit with a wave of nostalgia after spotting an old beach photo from high school.

On “Vacation Town,” the record’s second single, Sella longingly looks back on impromptu getaways with his lover as he sings “I miss the hours in the morning and you in the morning hours.” Driven by a snare on all four beats and a horn-filled bridge, this is easily the standout track of the album.

This more simplified formula found in the album definitely lends itself more to sentimental lyrics than intricate storytelling and on that front, the album excels.

Each track retraces momentous formative memories like a late, mistake-filled night with friends, a tale of heartbreak or a touching love song.

Most of the simple melodies and catchy fun choruses are easy to get behind, but there’s a certain irony to it all. Four years ago on The Front Bottoms’ second full studio album “Talon of the Hawk,” Sella shouted with

palpable conviction, “I avoid using traditional techniques” at the top of his lungs in “Lone Star.” The techniques

he previously denounced seem to dominate his most recent work.

It may not be a return to

form for The Front Bottoms, but “Going Grey” is at least comfortable. As the band approaches more radio-friendly

tunes, listeners can take a brief, carefree trip home with the album to reminisce on simpler times of their own.

Executive Order 1100 benefits students Course requirements changed to align with individual preferences.

RICK PIÑON

Asst. Opinion Editor

Executive Order 1100 was changed by the California State University Chancellor’s Office in August, allowing general education requirements to count toward major requirements and taking out the D2 requisite, a world civilization and cultures course, along with some other changes.

The new changes may not seem like much but ultimately, the executive order will be beneficial for students trying to find out which major they feel most attached to instead of spending time completing frivolous general education courses.

Undergraduate students will have fewer general education requirements getting in the way as general education classes could now count toward their major class requirements.

GPA analytics show that GPAs from lower-division classes are consistently lower than upper-division GPAs

where most major classes are located, according to Cal State Fullerton Institutional Research and Analytical Studies.

Most general education courses account for the lower division courses students take in college. Although these courses challenge students to diversify their interests, many students find these a nuisance to deal with and tedious to fulfill.

This change in structure shows that the administration is listening to students; Cries of boredom and busywork don’t go unheard.

If students were interested in the courses and saw them as important to their major instead of just busywork, they could have a better mindset for these courses like they do with upper-division classes that reflect more of their interests and ambitions.

Senior Director of Public Affairs for the CSU Chancellor’s Office Mike Uhlenkamp said that this new executive order will open up new pathways for students, allowing them to cover different courses for the same requirement specifically within math requirements.

Uhlenkamp also stated that for majors that need a math class, the math general education will now cover that requisite so they don’t have to take an irrelevant math class to fill a graduation requirement.

Students can progress quicker and stop taking classes that won’t benefit them.

In the year 2012, only 22

The CSU Chancellor’s office decided to rework general education requirements, allowing students a better opportunity to find what major they are passionate about, instead of wasting time with unnecessary courses.

percent of students were able to graduate in four years, according to Cal State Fullerton Institutional Research and Analytical Studies.

Instead, it takes most students six years to graduate.

Double counting can help determined students graduate in the expected four years.

“We want to make it so that a student can graduate in the time that they want to graduate. If they want to graduate in four years, we absolutely want to provide them with every opportunity to graduate in four years,” Uhlenkamp said.

More importantly, students can benefit from Executive Order 1100 by strategically planning the extra courses they will have to take because of double counting. Despite these courses counting for two sections of the Titan Degree Audit, students still have to obtain 120 units to graduate.

That hasn’t changed.

What will change, however, is the possibility of having more courses that interest students — courses that can be based on a person’s hobbies or classes from another subject a student enjoys. These courses can also count toward a

FREAKY FRESH! FREAKY FAST! ™

double major or minor.

“GE is an exploration area.

GE is about breadth across your experience, but I also believe that double counting, which allows you more space in the pockets of your major, might give you an opportunity to explore something on the back end that you might have never thought of,” said CSUF Interim Director of Undergraduate Studies and General Education Brent Foster.

By being able to explore other classes, or even a minor, students can create a unique educational experience instead of sticking to a

cookie-cutter formula for every student.

As soon as students graduate, they join their peers in the workforce with the exact same educational background — a bachelor’s degree, but with a minor, students can have a more diverse skill set to show future employers.

Though the changes made to Executive Order 1100 may not seem groundbreaking or extreme, these little modifications will help students in their first years of college by shifting priorities from general education courses to help them graduate quicker.

You could go out on a limb today by sharing your feelings before you have a context in which to process them. Your emotional response to someone’s behavior can be immediate, but it’s unwise to jump to conclusions prior to turning your logic loose on the situation.

Your wishes seem to be within your grasp today; the only limits are the limits you place upon yourself. Your perceptions are incisive now, but you could easily draw the wrong conclusions if you think you know the answer prior to asking the question.

8 SPORTS Goals: Reaching for the Big West title

TUESDAY OCTOBER 24, 2017

The Titans and the Highlanders met for the second time in conference play Saturday at Titan Stadium where CSUF hoped to redeem themselves.

The Highlanders’ 70th minute goal appeared to be a

game-winning one until Goni made sure the Titans didn’t tack another loss onto their record. Goni scored with just one minute and 33 seconds left in regulation to send the teams into a heated double-overtime match that ended in draw.

Goni’s efforts against UCR were what kept the

At the end of the day, it’s just player of the week ... It means I scored some goals and it’ll keep me confident for the next game.

SAMUEL GONI Titans forward Titans in second place in the southern division, just

three points behind No.1 CSU Northridge.

Goni felt being recognized was an honor that should be credited to the whole team.

“I’m scoring goals because my teammates are helping me out. I can’t do it all myself,” Goni said. “We’ve been playing better and better every game and creating chances.”

Goni’s accolade is the first

for the Titans since October 2016, which he said serves as more motivation for the team.

“I think the Big West doesn’t look at us that much,” Goni said. “I think we need to show and have to win the conference to show we’re the best team.”

Cal State Fullerton Athletics will announce its seventh Athletics Hall of Fame class Oct. 27, honoring five alumni who have made significant impacts on the Titans.

The inductees for the 2017 Hall of Fame includes: • Softball pitcher Tiffany Boyd (1991-93) • Softball pitcher Kathy Van Wyk (1982) • Baseball catcher Kurt Suzuki (2002-04) • George Horton player (1975-76); associated head coach (1991-96); head coach (1997-2007) • CSUF Sports Information Director Mel Franks (who worked at CSUF from 1980-2012) Although these five inductees will all share the same title, they’ve each made their own contributions that have earned them the spotlight.

Boyd broke records in her first season with the Titans and earned Big West Pitcher of the Year, Big West First Team Honors and a spot on the NFCA All-West Regional Team and All-West Honors that same season.

In her one and only softball season as a Titan, Van Wyk was named the nation’s top softball player and awarded the Broderick Award. As a pitcher, Van Wyk set an NCAA record of 35 wins in a season while only losing one game.

Van Wyk recorded 23 shutouts and 31 complete games, striking out 270 batters in 278 innings. Her play contributed to the Titans making their first College World Series appearance.

During Suzuki’s senior year as a Titan, he earned the Johnny Bench Award and Brooks Wallace Award honors with a .413 batting average, 16 homers and 87 RBIs. Suzuki represents CSUF in the MLB and has played for the Oakland Athletics, Washington Nationals, Minnesota

The Athletics Hall of Fame debuted in 2005 and has now become a biannual CSUF tradition. The hall honors former Titans who contributed to the legacy of CSUF Athletics.

The hall of fame currently consists of six different classes (2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015) and holds 33 athletes, including Titans from women’s gymnastics and football.

Among those inducted are also faculty members and supporters. Neale Stoner (Athletics Director 1972-79) became the first and only administrator to enter the Titan Athletics Hall of Fame in the last ceremony (2015).
