Allman was ready for the spotlight

On Nov. 23, 2017, Kyle Allman Jr. began his evolution from a rotation player to the star of Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball when he scored 34 points against the University of Georgia. For some, it came as a surprise, but for those who have been with him since the midnight training sessions on school nights in middle school, they knew it was only a matter of time. “He simply dedicated himself to the craft. He was doing workouts at midnight at a gym ... midnight on a Friday, midnight on a Tuesday, putting in some extra work,” said the Fullerton guard’s father, Kyle Allman Sr. Allman was the Titans’ fifth option as a sophomore, averaging 10.2 points per game. By the end of his junior year, he led the Big West conference in scoring at 19.5 points per game and was named the Big West Tournament’s Most Valuable Player. “I give him a lot of credit for what our program has become just because of his work ethic and his ability to put in the extra work and galvanize the other guys and challenge the other guys to do that. I think it says a tremendous amount about who he is as a young man,” said head coach Dedrique Taylor.

Kyle Allman, No. 0, is averaging 18.8 points per game with two 30-point outings 10 games into the 2018-19 season.

His improved jump shot made all the difference last season. Assistant coach Anthony Santos said Allman’s jumper had been a “work in progress” in previous seasons, but it finally came together when he was a junior. He led the Big West in 3-point percentage at 45.6 percent during conference play last year after shooting 27 percent as a sophomore. Titans guard Khalil Ahmad

said he knew the breakout season was coming based on Allman’s performance in the several summer leagues they played in. Santos did not expect Allman to play the way he did, but he said Allman’s confidence is what took his game to a new level. “He wanted it, we wanted it for him but we weren’t going to come up with this grand scheme to let him be the guy. He scored within the offense and at the end

of the day, the work he put in allowed him to see the success that he saw,” Santos said. Many, including Taylor, Santos and Allman Sr., attribute Allman’s success to his unwavering work ethic. His father said he likes to think that he is partly responsible for his son’s dedication to his craft. “He comes from a family that is all dedicated to our respective crafts. He has a mother and father

that’s going to work every single day and working hard every single day,” Allman Sr. said. In the seventh game of the 2018 season, Fullerton traveled to Long Island, New York, to play Hofstra University. As a native to Brooklyn, New York, Allman not only got to play in front of nearly 300 friends and family, but also played against high school teammate Justin Wright-Foreman. SEE EVOLVE

“Yes lawd!” yelled hundreds of people in the crowd as Anderson .Paak took the stage on Saturday at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles. Fresh off an appearance on “Saturday Night Live” and the release of his album “Oxnard,” .Paak hosted the second annual .Paak House in the Park, a charity music festival and outreach for underprivileged people in the community. After .Paak held a concert and carnival in his hometown of Oxnard on Nov. 16, fans thought it was a replacement for .Paak House this year. In addition, locations for his ABC Tour spanned from San Francisco to Vienna with no stop in Los Angeles. Last Thursday, .Paak surprised fans when he announced that he would be hosting his trademark event again, urging FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

people to come out and invite friends and family to .Paak House. From bounce houses and snowglobes in the kids corner to free haircuts, manicures and giveaway booths, there were a multitude of activities all around the park. Comedian Teddy Ray, who emceed on stage, emphasized that “this is a community event” and reminded everyone to stay hydrated. DJ Arkitek provided a steady flow of mixtapes and music that enhanced the energy of the crowd all day long. The purpose of the event was to “uplift, engage and support the underprivileged through music, education, spiritual wellness,” and “create a ‘safe haven’ for the next generation,” according to the .Paak House website. Over 4,200 people attended and $157,000 was raised for the Brandon Anderson Foundation. To kick off the performances was tobi lou with his hit song “Buff Baby,” which was followed by a rap battle between two audience members dressed up as .Paak. People lined up to take pictures and talk

with .Paak as he made his way around every corner of the park, making sure everyone had a chance to meet him. True .Paak fans were rewarded with Beats headphones after answering trivia questions about the artist. .Paak took the stage to sing “Saviers Road” before joining his band, The Free Nationals, to accompany other artists’ performances. MadeinTYO got the crowd bouncing as he sung “Uber Everywhere” and “Skateboard P.” He said he appreciated family events like these and to “keep God first” as you “chase your dreams.” Ty Dolla $ign rapped his hit “Blasé” and despite the indifference expressed in that song, there was much to be impressed with the event. Snoh Aalegra swooned the crowd with her rhythm and blues hit “Fool For You” and thanked the crowd for “being out here and supporting a great cause.” Rasual, an up-and-coming artist, told the crowd that he was in it “for the love” shown from the crowd and not the fortune and fame.

As part of a partnership with Orange County, City Net is planning a countywide Point-in-Time count in 2019, where hundreds of volunteers will count and survey individuals who are homeless in Orange County. The 2019 Orange County Point-in-Time will help City Net, a nonprofit organization who works to end street-level homelessness in a city or region, better understand the demographics of people who are homeless. The survey will be conducted on Jan. 23 and 24 and donations will be distributed to those surveyed. “We want to have an accurate presentation of how many people are experiencing homelessness in Orange County in order for us to lobby for adequate funding to support the needs of those that we run into during that count,” said Chelsea Bowers, director of public affairs for City Net. Students from Cal State Fullerton and other members of the community are encouraged by Bowers to volunteer their time on those two days. “It’s very educational and eye-opening to be able to inform Cal State Fullerton students on the realities of homelessness. People who experience homelessness could be their dads, their uncles, their cousins or friends of all different genders and ages,” Bowers said. Bowers said the reality is, students could have colleagues who may be homeless but prefer not to come forward with it. In January 2018, 10.9 percent of CSU students reported that they were homeless at least once in the last 12 months (based on the combined definitions of the word from Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Education), according to the CSU study of basic needs.

Sustainability in Fullerton

CSUF to expand electric vehicle spaces There are currently 38 total electric vehicle charging spaces on campus. BEN BURKHARDT Staff Writer

NATHAN NGUYEN Asst. News Editor

As part of a statewide goal, Cal State Fullerton plans on adding more electric vehicle parking stations in an effort to become carbon neutral by 2045. Gov. Jerry Brown issued executive order B-55-18 in September to establish targets reducing carbon emissions. There has been an abundance of EV and plug-in hybrid vehicle registrations this year, with over 350,000 in California, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The stations were originally a collaboration between the CSUF Physical Plant and Parking and Transportation Services to provide students, staff and faculty with electric vehicle charging stations set up around the school. There are 38 total charging spaces on campus, with 25 of them located on Gymnasium Drive. Most spaces have a fourhour parking limit. There are five electric vehicle spaces in front of the College Park building, across from the main campus, also with a fourhour limit. There are two on Corporation Drive, and four behind Mihaylo Hall near the building’s loading area. The Irvine Campus also offers two charging spaces. Southern California Edison provides the power needed for the EV charging stations through a service agreement the university has with the company, according to CSUF facilities management. “They help subsidize the installation quite a bit. We paid for the charging stations

themselves but they did all the infrastructure and all the power out there,” said Michael Lolito, chief adviser of facilities management. The charging stations at CSUF are for students, faculty and members of the community who have electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Students and faculty with valid semester parking permits can apply for a complementary electric vehicle charging permit. The current price for charging is $0.40 per kilowatt hour for everyone else, according to Parking and Transportation Services. The availability of electric charging parking spots on campus has led to conflict on campus this semester. In September, a theater and dance professor was sued by a student for allegedly kicking her car. The student did not own an electric vehicle, however she did have a disability placard that she said she thought would allow her to park her car there. Those who park in a space designated for electric vehicle charging but don’t charge their car are subject to citation and/or towing. Those who park in a spot longer than the time limit can also be cited, according to Parking and Transportation Services. Several 120-volt outlets are currently being added in existing lots for Level 1 trickle-type charging, which is a slow, constant low voltage used to fully charge a battery. Facilities management said it plans to expand electric vehicle charging options on campus, including adding new direct current fast-charging stations as part of an incentive by the California Energy Commission. There is now a requirement that 5 percent of the spots in any new parking structures or lots be dedicated to EV charging stations.

Association raises awareness on water use Over 2.1 billion people worldwide lack access to safe water. WILLIAM ROBBINS Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton’s United Nations Association chair members spread water usage awareness on the Titan Walk as an extension of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on Tuesday. Access to clean water and sanitation is goal No. 6 of a project provided by the U.N. in an effort to “achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by the year 2030,” as per its website. The campaign has 17 goals, addressing issues such as wealth, inequality, environmental conditions, peace and justice. The United Nations Association on campus has been raising awareness about these movements the past couple weeks. This event targeted water consumption and preservation for fellow Titans. “Over 2.1 billion people in the world lack access to safe water. What we’re trying to do is raise awareness about water,” said Michael Guzman, global health chair for the United Nations Association at Cal State Fullerton. Part of the water awareness

impact the U.N. wants to have is strengthening the participation of communities on the local level in improving and sanitizing their own water resources. “If we look at our own water use, it’s interesting to see how much water we use daily. We use about 200 to 300 liters of water daily. Showering uses gallons per minute,” Guzman said. According to UNICEF’s water, sanitation and hygiene team, there are about 2.4 billion individuals who do not have modern sanitation and 663 million who do not have access to modern water sources. Because of these disadvantages, over 800 children die every day from lack of adequate hygiene and access to water. The event follows the Nov. 6 midterm elections where 50.7 percent of Californians voted no in a narrow rejection of Proposition 3, a state measure that would allocate nearly $8.9 billion to fund water and environment-sustainability projects. In California, there is still officially a drought with 93 percent of state residents affected, according to the National Integrated Drought Information System’s website. Efforts have been made in California to purify and utilize different sources of water, such as desalination plants for salt

water. The Carlsbad Desalination Plant in San Diego County has the largest and most energy-efficient desalination plant in the nation, but faces controversy due to its expensive cost, increased prices of water and environmental impact to marine life. On the global level, still more than 40 percent of the

population faces water scarcity, but by 2030 the U.N. hopes to “achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.” This is a goal shared by the United Nations Association on campus, which hopes that students can do their part in raising awareness about local and personal water conservation.

“Never mistake that people can make a difference. I think at the end of the day we shouldn’t take away our own potential power and our own drive to make a change,” Guzman said. “Our global impact happens locally. It’s at a local grassroots level that people start to get involved, learn more and can make a difference.”

“There are college students who are experiencing homelessness and they deserve to be heard, they deserve to be connected to resources and their peers deserve to be educated on the fact that anyone can be homeless, anyone (can be) one paycheck away from being homeless,” Bowers said. In 2017, a total of 4,792 homeless individuals were counted in Orange County. Of those, 2,584 were unsheltered, 1,248 were in an emergency shelter and 960 were in a traditional shelter. The 2017 count and survey showed a significant increase of unsheltered individuals compared to the 1,678 unsheltered individuals in 2013. The 2019 count will fulfill the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development mandate that Orange County needs in order to receive the required funding to aid the homeless community. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires an assessment from every continuum of care, Bowers said. A continuum of care is an integrated system that guides homeless individuals and families through services and housing intended to prevent and end homelessness. Orange County’s continuum of care funds 14 nonprofit organizations. The Point-in-Time counts provide information that guides how the county approaches ending homelessness and what resources are needed. This includes funding such as the $23.5 million allocated in 2017 for providing multiple shelter options and the $23.9 million given to

increase the number of beds available for people going through a psychiatric crisis, which allows people who are homeless to receive immediate psychiatric care instead of going to the emergency room, according to last year’s Point-inTime data. Participating in the 2019 Pointin-Time count and survey is a way to support people impacted by homelessness, Bowers said. Volunteer roles include team captains, field surveyors, deployment center support, videographers and photographers. Participants may be accompanied by a police escort if the area is deemed unsafe, Bowers said. Field surveyors will engage directly with Orange County’s homeless community to get a sense of who they are by surveying their demographics, strengths and challenges. The count and survey will take a few hours each day and the information collected will contribute to the money allocated by Housing and Urban Development to those in need for the following two years, Bowers said. Bowers said the feedback will aid in offering “different solution-orientated suggestions” that provide the homeless individuals who the organization meets on the street with services in an attempt to reduce the number of people facing this issue. “If we strengthen the system, they’ll get plugged in more effectively and hopefully exit homelessness,” Bowers said.

Column: My stutter won’t stop me Despite people’s reactions, it doesn’t define who I am.

STEPHANIE DELATEUR Asst. Lifestyle Editor

I’ve stuttered since I had the ability to talk. I have never been able to hide it or avoid it and it is ever-present in everything I say. No matter how many times I question it or momentarily feel sorry for myself, I have to pull myself together. Day after day, I need to once again accept it. It would help if the public had a better understanding of what stuttering is and the many forms it comes in. The general public might not know this because stuttering is not talked about in the mainstream media very frequently, but over 70 million people globally and 3 million people in America stutter, according to the Stuttering Foundation, a nonprofit that works toward helping individuals who stutter. Despite the possible assumption that stutterers are less capable of success than others, people have been able to achieve success with a stutter. Marilyn Monroe, Joe Biden, John Stossel, James Earl Jones, Tiger Woods, Emily Blunt and Bill Withers are just a few notable examples. I have always questioned the reason for my stutter. There are no concrete answers as to why, but heredity has been strongly

suggested. Men are more likely to stutter than women. My dad stuttered through his childhood and into his adult life, so it’s possible I inherited it from him. I find that I almost always have to tell whomever I’m talking to that I stutter, or else they give me a confused look. After I tell them I stutter, they seem to be more understanding. As I’ve maneuvered my way through life, I’ve had to learn how to deal with other people’s reaction to it. This was especially true during my childhood. I

was picked on for my stutter in grade school and middle school. Eventually, I stopped putting up with it because I realized ignoring the bullies wasn’t helping anything. I started to push back with my words and heard less rude remarks and taunts. Over time, I wouldn’t get picked on as much, maybe because people learned I wasn’t an easy target. In a perfect world, no one would get bullied. Everyone would be kind to everyone all the time. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world,

and I had to learn how to defend myself, and I would recommend anyone who stutters or anyone who is being bullied to do the same. Aside from asserting myself against bullies, another way I deal with stuttering is by singing. Whether I have a good voice is questionable, but I find I can sing almost anything at any pace without stuttering. I don’t let my stutter get in the way of what I want to do. I am a journalism major, which requires me to conduct interviews. Usually, telling the

interviewee I stutter eases my stress and allows me to conduct the interview as best I can. I choose to live my life in a way that does not make my stutter a big part of my identity. My existence does not revolve around the fact that I stutter and I want nothing more than to be treated as equally as anyone else. Having a stutter is one of the cards I’ve been dealt with as I go through life. It’s something I know I’m going to have to overcome. I’m not “Stephanie, the girl who stutters.” I’m just me.

The song ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ has stirred negative reactions due to its lyrics and was temporarily pulled from a radio station in San Francisco.

Online friends are still geniune connections Cyber friendships are as meaningful as in person relationships.

ANGELINA DEQUINA Lifestyle Editor

Every morning I let the light from my computer screen thaw my face while I message my friends who are worlds away. It’s as if we all live in a tiny village that is illuminated by the light of a computer. Online friendships should not be diminished by the fact that these people are not physically present in your life. In a world where it is possible to connect to anyone around the globe, they foster unique connections and memories. I didn’t want to be confined by the confines of my room or the small town I grew up in, so I learned more about the people who were outside of it. I ventured into the online world when I was 15. At the time, I had just started high school. I was a shy girl who wore graphic T-shirts that were loud enough to speak for me. I met one of my first online friends on an artist social networking site called DeviantArt. She lived in Germany, and was also shy. She was embodied in my life as a pale green chat box filled with happy emojis and a little personal picture that was the size of my thumb, but she was so much more. We talked to each other constantly about our days at school, crushes and anime characters. We even started our own online fan club based on our favorite VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

anime character, which eventually garnered 90 members. She taught me how to say “good morning” and “goodbye” in German. She was always there for me during the beginning of my high school career. Even though she was never physically in my life, I have fond memories of her as if she was. I am not the only person who has received some sort of emotional support from people on the internet. In fact, a study done by Pew Research Center in 2012 found that, “internet users and Facebook users received more social support — not just online but from all their relationships

combined.” I met many other online friends throughout the years who showed me how special online friendships can be. My friendships with these people have not been emotionally dissimilar from any other friendship I’ve had in real life. I fought with them, apologized to them, laughed with them and cried with them. My friends and I had come to know each other well enough that we could tell when we were upset or happy just by the words we used. We knew the language of the internet and how to break the barriers of not speaking in person, which helped to maintain our friendships.

Despite this, I realize that some people still consider online friendships to be unrealistic. An article from The Guardian regarding online friends stated, “...researchers believe that face-to-face contact is nearly always necessary to form truly close friendships.” What this article fails to address is the growing importance of the internet in our lives. Pew Research Center found in 2018 that about a quarter of U.S. adults say that they are online daily. The highest percentage of those who said they are online daily were between the ages of 18 and 29. Human beings are, by nature, sociable creatures.

The way we socialize with one another will inevitably change as technology advances. This change will not deprive people of their natural social needs, it will enhance them. I am proof of this change. My online friends are real because the memories and experiences I have had with them are a part of my human experience in the constantly-evolving world we live in. Instead of a picture book, I have a computer that tells the story of my friendships. I have lived in an online village with my friends. It’s lit by the light from a computer screen, but in reality, we all live under the same sky.

Rialto family bonds over T-shirts

About 40,000 students are enrolled at Cal State Fullerton. They come from communities in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Some commute long distances to get to campus. The series Voices from Home tells stories about the people and places that make their communities unique. These are some of their voices.

Few people are aware of how much thought and time is put into a T-shirt design, but what began as an idea in high school became a passion for the Pasillas family. They feel the need to continue to create for the progression of their family. “It is not a job, it is a career,” said Jose Pasillas, who started Rialto Print Company with his two sons Andrew and Marcos. It all started at home in a garage with a machine that cost $300, printing one T-shirt at a time. Plastisol ink requires heat above 330 degrees Fahrenheit in order to dry, but the Pasillas family did not have the means to dry the ink that was on the garments. Jose purchased supplies at Home Depot and handcrafted a gadget that would potentially dry the inks. A construction lamp was screwed onto a few pieces of plumbing pipes and was held

ments through and dries them automatically. Rialto Print Company is familiar with what it takes to make a quality T-shirt and how to charge the right price. To keep the company growing, Jose said he felt a need to put more money into the business. Eventually, he decided to take money out of his 401(k) retirement fund to purchase a $16,000 automatic screen printing machine. Jose said this is the piece that will enhance the Pasillas family name and ultimately provide a platform for future generations. Andrew Pasillas, his son, has already started planning for the future and said he has branched away from his dad to start his own screen printing business called Printmasters Inc. His goal is to establish multiple locations under the same company. “Once we grow to a certain point we can start to acquire other businesses and merge it into our company and just grow from there,” Andrew said.

The Pasillas family stands in front of their workspace where they produce t-shirts for the Rialto Print Company.

He plans to open a primary location in Riverside, but continue to benefit the family name. The Pasillas family said they represent the city of Rialto fairly well. Even though they may reach outside of the city, they will

continue to stay in Rialto because it is where they live and it is where the business is. Jose feels it is necessary to reinvest money back into the city for it to progress and keep other jobs in the community going. The Rialto Print Company creates garments for multiple

schools in Rialto. The Pasillas family chose the name because of its importance to the city. “Why do we want to go to another place and spend that money?” Jose said. “We want to spend money here in Rialto and we want to be here in the city and supporting it.”

LEO (Jul. 23 - Aug. 22) Your partner’s feelings seem to be all over the map today. But at least their unpredictable behavior finally settles down, giving you a chance to come up with a sustainable strategy.

Need some part time help?

You’re looking at the right place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) Although your nearly obsessive dedication to a project or a cause is one of the reasons you are often successful, it can also result in extreme tunnel vision.

Evolve: Allman has sights set on postseason CONTINUED FROM

Allman originally wanted to play against a Brooklyn university that didn’t offer him a scholarship so he could score 40 points against them. Instead, he settled with 38 points in his first and final collegiate game in New York. “It meant everything for all of the other people. Not even so much myself or my wife, but most of the other folks that never get to see him live, that’s what made it that much more important and that special,” Allman Sr. said. The support Allman received in the Nov. 21 contest was a microcosm of the support he had from his friends and family in New York. After every game, he reposts at least one Instagram story from a supporter watching from home. In a group chat with two friends from New York and one of their moms, Allman’s mornings are fueled by motivational quotes from the mom every Monday through Friday. On days where he wakes up without his meal of words, he’ll write in the chat “I need that right now.” “I don’t get to see her every day, so it’s the little things that matter most. We FaceTime here and there throughout the week, but it’s those texts that keep me going and let me know that I still have the support back home,” Allman said. The family ties don’t end in his hometown. Allman treats Santos like a brother and Santos’ office like his room. Sometimes, Allman FaceTimes his mother while in the office. Other times, Allman is shoving his phone in the coach’s face for an Instagram story or Santos is reminding the senior that he can’t leave his trash or backpack unattended. “I’ll walk away and leave

Allman’s main goal for his last season at CSUF is to earn the program its fourth-ever NCAA Tournament berth.

him in my office and I’ll just go do something and come back, and he’s gone but I’ll go on my computer and it’s a Fortnite YouTube video,” Santos said. With every “family,” the good comes with the bad. While Santos may not be a fan of the way Allman treats his office, he said Allman helped him

develop a “continuous drive” to improve. Santos said the main thing Allman taught him is “to get some sleep” because Allman is always calling him to workout. “There was a time he got in here with me at 6 a.m. before a flight. He will never say no ... well, he says no, but he rarely

says no,” Allman said. While dreams of playing in the NBA do exist for Allman, both Santos and the elder Allman said they don’t talk about the future much with him. Santos said it’s because Allman knows he’ll play somewhere next year, while his father wants the guard to focus on

getting his degree. “I don’t want him focused on, okay you have agents calling you or the NBA, I want him to finish the story. There’s always chapters to a story, and I want him to finish this chapter. He has to get through the books and finish the senior season on the court,” Allman Sr. said. Allman has two goals this season: return to the NCAA Tournament and get verified on Instagram. While Allman said he believes he should’ve received the verification after leading the Titans to March Madness, he’s hopeful that another tournament berth will deliver the blue check. At the end of last season, Allman said he was “down” because he didn’t win regular season player of the year. However, that’s not a priority for him this year. For fellow senior Ahmad, he said one of them should walk away with the award. “If it’s not me, it should be him. Nobody else in our conference can compare. They always say we’re ‘arguably’ the best backcourt but I think it’s no question,” Ahmad said. The Titans won 10 games Allman’s freshman year and he led them to a 20-win season his junior year. Fullerton climbed from the bottom of the Big West to one of its premier programs with the postseason MVP. Kyle Allman Jr. has one chapter left to write in one of the most decorated books in the history of CSUF men’s basketball. “Physically, he has hair on his face now. Literally, he has changed right before our eyes. It’s been fascinating to watch him grow, and develop, and struggle, and triumph. All of the different things that go into a success story, he has those things,” Taylor said.
