Cheaper Rare treasures at Pollak Library Police permits seek soon to public come pervert Students and faculty can take advantage of the University Archives & Special Collections for a unique research experience.

DAVID MARSHEL Staff Writer

Parking services work on new deal with EvFree Church lot.

Whether students are researching a psychology paper, looking to browse first edition sci-fi manuscripts or in search of archival videos of the LA Riots, the University Archives & Special Collections department has resources to help.

Whatever the discipline, both grads and undergrads have access to

the department located in the south wing of the Pollak Library.

“For graduate students to be able to do this kind of hands-on archival research is something that no other graduate program offers, unless you’re in a Ph.D. program,” said Asso-

ciate English professor Ellen Caldwell, Ph.D. “For M.A. students to be able to do this is pretty amazing.

For undergraduate English majors to be able to do this is unheard of.”

Among the archives is documentation of all the daily operations of CSUF since the department’s establishment in 1967. Campus publications, annual reports, meeting minutes and photographs are available for viewing in both physical and digital formats. Students r e por ting on

campus trends can find this section useful for comparative research.

Patricia Prestinary, Special Collections librarian and archivist, said CSUF, along with other schools in the Cal State system, are required to have certain university records on site, and they are used all the time by faculty and students.

Political science, anthropology and history majors can make use of the Freedom Center, a division of Special Collections containing 20th century political, social and religious movements.

KRISTEN JASKO Associate director of Parking and Transportation Services Jasko said Parking and Transportation Services will ensure that students have guaranteed parking if they buy a discounted permit. The EvFree Church lot has 550 parking spots.

“What we wouldn’t want to do is oversell,” Jasko said.

Alongside discounted parking permits, Jasko said that Parking and Transportation Services will discontinue the lease with the Brea Mall parking structure.

Titans to host homestand “

We’d love to get this guy because that’s pretty brazen for someone to sit in that crowded of an area and take part in that kind of an activity.

CSUF will take a shot at earning a conferenceplay win streak.

YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer will begin its twogame home series against the UC Davis Aggies and the Sacramento State Hornets Thursday.

The Titans sit in the top spot in the Big West Southern Division and had a strong start to their conference schedule after walking away from their road matches last weekend with some success and an extra boost of confidence.

“To get a ‘W’ on the road was definitely a big positive. We were all really excited about that,” said Titans team captain Nicolo D’Amato. “When we go on the road, that’s what we want. We need results. We need points.”

The Titans took a hit early in conference play when they fell 5-2 to the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos last Thursday, but they feel the loss motivated them.

“We definitely mentally locked in, and that was a group effort,” said Titans midfielder Irving Arvizu.

“We’ll bring that into the next game.”

The Hornets and the Aggies both hold a conference record of 1-0-1 after they

The third floor of the Pollak Library holds exclusive public records to be discovered including an extensive science-fiction collection of works by Philip K. Dick and Frank Herbert.

A man allegedly masturbated in his vehicle on campus around 3 p.m. Tuesday, in a case of indecent exposure that University Police is now investigating.

According to a crime alert sent out by University Police Chief Dennis DeMaio, a female student approached the suspect in a silver Toyota Camry on South Campus Drive near the roundabout by Dan Black Hall after being flagged down.

“He was kind of yelling something at her. She couldn’t understand what he was saying and thought he needed directions or something, so she walked over,” said University Police Capt.

Scot Willey. “That’s when she saw that all he was wearing was a t-shirt, nothing else apparently from the waist down, and appeared to be masturbating.”

Cal State Fullerton Parking and Transportation Services may offer discounted parking permits for those who park at the First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton next semester in an effort to alleviate parking pressure on the main campus.

“The discounted rates for the off-site parking lot will be $70,” said Associate Director of Parking and Transportation Services Kristen Jasko.

Jasko hopes the discounted rates will incentivize students to use the off-site parking structure and shuttle services.

“It’ll minimize parking demand on campus,” Jasko said. “It will reduce congestion on surrounding streets and within the parking lots and will hopefully provide a stress-free option for our students.”

The discounted parking permits would only be valid for the EvFree Church lot.

“As of right now, this is not yet final. This is something we are working on currently but we hope to implement it spring 2018,” Jasko said. “We want to make sure we have the capacity at the EvFree Church to handle those who are parked there.”

The suspect, described as being a male in his 40s, possibly “of Middle Eastern descent” and wearing a dark-colored t-shirt, fled the scene before University Police arrived. He was last seen driving eastbound on Nutwood Avenue.

Police collected a partial license plate number of “5VW,” which Willey said could apply to vehicles unrelated to the case. However, he encouraged contacting University Police either way.

“That’s a good call for us if we can go out and just make contact and see that it’s just a similar plate,” Willey said. “We’re going through cameras and doing what we can with the information we have from the license plate.”

Alongside the crime alert, University Police is putting the information out in databases that can be accessed by other law enforcement agencies in Orange County to see if they have any additional input or prior experience with this suspect.

FOR THE RECORD

CSUF Parking and Transportation Services is working on a plan to offer discounted parking permits for students using the EvFree Church parking lot and shuttle service. It will also discontinue its lease with the Brea Mall parking structure.

JARED HILL Chair of the Titan Student Centers Board of Trustees The program offers daily workouts through an instructional video. There are over 3,000 exercises developed, which are meant to ensure that “members never get the same workout twice,” according to the F45

Aaron Tapper.

The program will be free to students for the first year after installment, but it will then have an instructional course fee of $20 per semester. The Student Recreation Center is working on a

fee for non-students to make up some of the cost deficits while accommodating an appropriate price for students.

“I wanted a new program to be as accessible as possible to all students,” Hill said.

“We felt like coming up with $20 a semester, $40 total, was something that was very accessible for students.”

Tapper said once the program is fully installed and ready to use, he hopes it will work well with every student’s schedule.

“It’s 45 minutes. If you have a quick break between classes or if you’re on your lunch break, you can get in and take a class,” Tapper said. “The other thing that’s nice is that it’s video programmed out, so the program is done for you. You can show up to the class, do the 45 minutes, get a great workout and be done and go on with your day.”

University Police did not give the name of the female student who was approached and made the call, as they don’t want her to be intimidated if they need her to be the witness for a police lineup in the future.

There will be an increased presence of officers near the roundabout “over the next few days” according to the crime alert.

“A lot of people that come to Cal State Fullerton think

that there’s a bit of a bubble here and that we’re all Titans and we’re here to care about each other, which is fantastic and it’s how a lot of us think,” Willey said. “It’s those incidents that we need people to break out of that shell a little bit and give us a call if they see it.”

SQE takes a knee to open dialogues National movement co-opted by student group on campus.

BREANNA BELKEN Asst. News Editor

More than 20 students gathered in front of the Titan sign to take a knee Wednesday evening.

The demonstration was hosted by Students for Quality Education, who encouraged discussions of issues affecting students on campus and nationwide.

“As a community, we wanted to lend our support to those who are in a position of privilege and are using that to speak on real issues that are affecting marginalized communities,” said SQE organizer Brittany Goss.

Taking a knee gained attention when Colin Kaepernick first kneeled during the national anthem at an NFL game Sept. 1, 2016, stirring controversy.

First-year student Dorian Smith felt the protests have become a symbol of peaceful resistance and believes the movement is important

for raising awareness of issues, including political and social issues affecting campus.

Some students who participated wanted to show solidarity with their peers and spread awareness of issues that mattered to them, including police brutality. They felt these issues should be discussed more on campus.

“A lot of people are closed-minded and see it as being disrespectful. We’re here to protest peacefully. We’re not hurting anyone, and we’re standing for what we believe in,” Smith said. “This is freedom of speech and we’re not even speaking, versus someone who can say vulgar things and say racist things, and it still counts as freedom of speech. That’s their excuse for it, and it doesn’t make it right.”

The upcoming Milo Yiannopoulos appearance has highlighted the free speech issue SQE has encouraged councils and students to voice their concerns to the CSUF administration regarding the event.

“For me, this symbolizes us taking a stand not only

Students for Quality Education took a knee in front of the Titan Student Union Wednesday and discussed local issues like the Oct. 31 visit of Milo Yiannopoulos and national issues like police brutality.

in solidarity with folks who have been taking a knee …

But also for standing up for ourselves on campus, struggling with the CSUF administration in terms of free speech,” said President of the Queer and Trans People of Color Collective Mel Mateo Barrios.

While SQE has asked the administration to step

in and take action regarding the Yiannopoulos event, only student organizations have openly denounced it.

“I think there should be more conversations going on on campus, not necessarily initiated by the students but more so by staff, faculty and CSUF administration,” Barrios said. “I think there’s a certain extent to which

administration can speak on issues, but I think they need to do a better job.”

SQE also promoted its Unity Block Party, which will be held on the same day as Yiannopoulos’ appearance. The block party will provide an opportunity for students to come together to celebrate diversity, community and education

for those who do not agree with Yiannopoulos’ ideas.

“It’s up to us as civically engaged human beings who are a part of this to stand up when these ideals aren’t being met,” Goss said. “For us to be better Americans and better citizens, we need to be able to call ourselves and our country out when we’re not doing our best.”

Archives: Uncharted library resources 1

Researchers have access to original multimedia documentation of the most controversial activism events in recent history.

The older, more rare materials are housed In the Special Collections area, which holds unique sources not found in the archives or in the Freedom Center. It includes rare books, manuscript collections, fine press books and local history collections, Prestinary said.

The extensive sci-fi collections containing the original manuscripts from Philip K. Dick and Frank Herbert are notable as well. The library stores early 20th century pop culture icons like “Amazing Stories,” “Weird Tales” and the production scripts of the original “Star Trek” television series.

English major Criss Vo discovered Special Collections while researching for a class assignment.

“Finding our way through that forbidden part of the library was really cool

because it felt like you were in a different part of campus that no one really goes into,” Vo said.

With the decisive angled movements of her brush, Kathryn Wilson applied the shadow onto the student’s face to create wrinkles.

Constantly dipping into the makeup kit, her hands moved in a motion that mimicked an artist painting a portrait.

Within minutes, the young student transformed into a middle-aged woman.

Wilson, a new assistant professor of theater and dance at Cal State Fullerton, has always had an eye for art. As an undergraduate art student at Loyola Marymount University, she began to explore different art forms, beginning with costume design.

In an unexpected way, theater changed Wilson’s life when she and a visiting friend toured the LMU campus.

“As a part of the tour, we went into this costume shop. When we walked in, I saw this amazing red-beaded dress with a long train and from that moment on, I knew,” Wilson said. “I changed everything that I was planning on doing.”

With the support of her parents, who were also involved in the theater community, Wilson changed her major to theater arts and adopted a life in costume design.

“It was a career that made sense for me to do my art, and I could get a job in,” Wilson said.

Despite her achievements in costume design, like LA Weekly’s Award for her designs for the 2006 Hayworth Theater rendition of Machiavelli, makeup application brings out another side of Wilson. The intricate practices of her work allow her to create new character looks.

“Painting a face and creating a character was always really exciting to me,” Wilson said.

Most recently, she created the makeup look for the ghost of Hamlet’s father, a ghoulish man with half his face burnt by acid, for the New Swan Shakespeare Festival. Makeup appearances like these thrill Wilson, as she enjoys designing complex and fun injury makeup.

As an artistic individual, Wilson is able to use her skills from painting and pottery to create three-dimensional makeup looks that excite audiences, which is something that Wille admires.

“She’s an inspiration to those around her … She always shares her creative knowledge,” Wille said.

Contemporary artists like Young Thug, Kodak Black, Lil Uzi Vert and 21 Savage all lack the lyricism and talent of true rap legends like Biggie, Tupac and A Tribe Called Quest. Mumble rappers lack the foundations of rap and are not real rappers.

Mumbling rappers lack real talent

Modern hip-hop artists are in a category of their own.

JULIAN MUNIZ Staff Writer

Today’s rap genre has taken a turn for the worse, and it’s all thanks to current rap artists who have ushered in a

new, poor excuse of a trend — mumble rap.

Young Thug, Kodak Black, Lil Uzi Vert, Migos and 21 Savage are some people who constitute what mumble rappers are, and they all lack the a key component of hip-hop.

One of the most important elements of hip-hop is the art of emceeing, the best way for someone to define themselves as a true rapper. It has to feel great when people cheer after a rapper nails a difficult, multi-syllable rhyme that takes hours to craft.

When an artist can rap about any given topic, it shows their true talent and

versatility. That being said, the mumble rappers of today are ignoring emceeing as they mumble their way to fame without proving that they can truly spit some bars.

Mumble rappers have become an insult, a true mockery to the art of rap and have severely lowered the standards that rap legends like Biggie and Tupac worked so hard to set.

Contemporary rappers have no lyricism outside of women, money and drugs, which is downright disappointing.

Accounting major Jonathan Ramos thinks hip-hop is less thoughtful than it was

back in the day.

“I feel like rap has lost it’s meaning from when it first started in the ‘90s,” Ramos said. “So now it’s just a lot of that mumbleness. It’s just mainly about the beat. They don’t really care about what words they say.”

A lot of these so-called rappers have guest-starred on radio talk shows and have been invited to freestyle live on the air. Lil Uzi Vert attempted to freestyle during an interview with radio station HOT 97 and threw slurred words around acting like it was lyrically genius.

Newsflash: Overconfidence should never be a

substitute for great quality, especially if the freestyle consists of undecipherable words. Lil Uzi Vert’s freestyle shies away from the foundation of rap.

Most of today’s mumble rappers no longer care about the craft behind the art of rap. If they have no intention to be the best in the game, then they should not claim the title of a hip-hop artist.

Kinesiology major Douglas Fernandez said that today’s generation of mumble rappers are not considered artists because they are nothing like the original rappers who made hip-hop great.

“You had Gang Starr and

A Tribe Called Quest,” Fernandez said. “They had such a large influence on rap. You look at them as the golden era of hip-hop but nowadays I don’t really think the new generation is going to really see today’s hip-hop as anything big as Biggie Smalls and all the rappers from the golden era of hip-hop.”

If these mumble rappers are considered artists, then their music should be under a subgenre of hip-hop specifically labeled mumble rap. By categorizing mumble rap as its own genre, these non-rap artists will compete with each other without being confused with actual rap.

6 SPORTS Titans hit the road for conference play THURSDAY OCTOBER 5, 2017

CSUF will attempt to extend its winning streak.

MARIANA VERA Asst. Sports Editor

With a three-game winning streak to its name, Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer is preparing to face the UC Riverside Highlanders Thursday and the Long Beach State 49ers Sunday.

The Titans have a perfect record in Big West play after they shut out CSU Northridge in their first Big West conference match.

“We’re just playing our game and sticking to our plan and not changing how we play for other teams,” said junior midfielder Jessica Simonian.

Though the Highlanders had a rough time in nonconference play with a record of 5-7-2, they have been able to take advantage of a clean slate in Big West play.

“

We’re just playing our game and sticking to our plan and not changing how we play for other teams.

“

JESSICA SIMONIAN Titans Midfielder The Highlanders cleaned up their errors and beat the Gauchos 4-1 Sept. 29 and notched another 1-0 win against Cal Poly Oct. 1.

The Titans still stand on top of the charts with three top of the Big West goal scorers on their roster: Samantha Koemans, Atlanta Primus and Sarah Fajnor.

Their efforts have helped the team own the title for most

goals scored (27).

On the defensive end, goalkeeper Morgan Bertsch and the Titans’ defense are responsible for being No.1 on the leaderboard for the fewest goals scored against (9) tied with 49ers’ goalkeeper Imani McDonald.

Though the Titans and the Highlanders contrast one another statistically, they share

one thing in common – a three-game winning streak.

The Highlanders also aren’t the only streak-holding opponents the Titans will have to face this week, as the 49ers are on a three-game winning stretch as well.

Long Beach State has a record of 7-3-1 in the regular season but are also undefeated in conference play

(1-0). The 49ers defeated the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine 2-0 in their first Big West match.

The 49ers stand higher than the Highlanders in the ranks, but they still fall short of the Titans’ 8-2-2 record.

The 49ers are in fourth place for most goals scored with 16 and are tied for

second place for fewest goals scored against with UC Irvine (11).

Simonian said the Titans are preparing for these upcoming games by focusing on their speed of play, something Simonian feels will help CSUF possibly snap a few streaks this weekend.

“We worked this week

on playing quickly, checking our shoulders and being able to play as soon as you get the ball, just being faster with our play,” Simonian said.

The Titans will attempt to build upon their winning streak in their second conference match Thursday at 5 p.m. at 3the UC Riverside Soccer Stadium.

8 SPORTS Series: CSUF hopes to net home wins

THURSDAY OCTOBER 5, 2017

“We love playing at home,” D’Amato said. “We have a goal. We don’t lose at home ... We’re very confident on our own field.”

CSUF has had a total of five home games in its preseason, losing once to the Utah Valley University Wolverines who shut them out 2-0.

“

We have a goal.

We don’t lose at home ... We’re very confident on our own field.

“

NICOLO D’AMATO Titans midfielder Titans defender Sam Molz said the mentality the team has on the field has been crucial to their performance and that their key to success is scoring first.

“We just can’t have mental lapses,” Molz said.

“When we have chances to put teams away, we have to go up two or three goals just to take the fight out of them.”

A huge theme among the Titans this year has been approaching their training schedule one game at a time and now, CSUF is zeroing in on UC Davis. “We know (Davis is) an athletic and fast team,” Molz said. “We haven’t focused too much on (Sacramento State). We just have to get

While D’Amato said the Titans are trying to take things “one game at a time,”

they remain focused on one goal a bit further out: Winning the Big West.

“We’re all very competitive players and a competitive team ... Hopefully, at

the end of the day, we get the result that we want,” D’Amato said.

Outside hitter Madeline Schneider (5) leads the Titans’ roster with 219 points and 198 kills this season. Schneider has started in 15 of CSUF’s matches. However, her efforts to help Fullerton defensively haven’t been enough to snap its seven-game losing streak, shooting its record to 4-13 overall.

Volleyball shifting game plan focus KATHRYNE PADILLA Sports Editor

After dropping its match against CSU Bakersfield Tuesday, Cal State Fullerton volleyball will re-enter conference play to face the UC Riverside Highlanders Saturday.

“Expectations are high,” said Titans outside hitter Madeline Schneider. “As long as everyone does their jobs, we could get a win. Riverside has done a lot this season and they’ve grown from last year, but I think we have too. We just have to show it.”

A recent loss to the University of Hawaii (3-2) extended Riverside’s losing streak to six games, including its 0-4 conference record.

In the 2016 season,

Highlanders. The Titans finished the match with a .253 hitting percentage compared

ers, a season-high for any Titan in 2016, and contributed 30 points to Fullerton’s win.

Schneider also added to the victory with 15 kills and 15.5 points.

CSUF also committed just 18 errors throughout the fourset match while Riverside made 26.

After focusing on their attacking, the Titans had a hitting-percentage high of .364 in the second set against Bakersfield.

Despite having their best hitting percentage in a loss, the Titans have to refocus

on their serving, serve receive and blocking skills if they want to snap their losing streak, Titan Head Coach Ashley Preston said.

“During preseason and leading up to conference, we were a really strong serve receive team,” Schneider said.

“We focused so much on hitting now that we’ve forgotten that we need to pass.”

CSUF will travel to take on UC Riverside Saturday Oct. 7 at 4 p.m.
