Titans donate to migrants at border Fullerton

approves ordinance

Association for InterCultural Awareness is collecting supplies until Dec. 15.

DIANE ORTIZ News Editor

Cal State Fullerton’s Association for InterCultural Awareness announced plans to drive to the border city of Tijuana, Mexico to deliver donations on Dec. 15 at Tuesday’s board of directors meeting.

In mid-October, thousands of Central Americans traveled up to the U.S.-Mexico border, arriving at the end of November.

Many of them said they were escaping danger and poverty in their home countries. After about 500 migrants rushed the port of entry, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency fired tear gas at the migrants and shut down the border.

Following the march, many migrants decided to go back to their home countries, but as many as 5,000 migrants decided to stay in a sports complex in Tijuana while awaiting asylum.

However, the sports complex was closed on Saturday, according to the Washington Post, leaving many with the choice to either travel further away from

“Derelict” was emotionally powerful and interesting to watch. With tattered clothes, the dancers made strong, sharp movements and moved across the stage by either rolling on the floor or jumping. The music also differed greatly from the other performances in the first act since it was much more dramatic.

Titan guard travels the distance to succeed CSUF men’s basketball freshman Gaber Ozegovic aims to make the most of his time.

JOSHUA ARIEF HALIM/ DAILY TITAN

The Fullerton City Council approved an ordinance with a 3-2 vote at Tuesday’s meeting that will require faith-based emergency homeless shelters to complete an application before housing unsheltered individuals.

This is the third time the ordinance has been reviewed by the council and was officially voted on Tuesday night. Jesus Silva, who was sworn in as mayor at the meeting, opposed the ordinance along with Council member Bruce Whitaker.

“I have concerns with this policy. In certain respects, it might be right-headed but it still feels to be wrong-hearted,” Whitaker said.

A time zone difference of nine hours and a distance of about 6,000 miles west from his hometown in Kranj, Slovenia didn’t stop Gaber Ozegovic from further pursuing his basketball dreams.

The Cal State Fullerton guard said it was difficult to leave his family behind and live in a foreign country without them.

But his parents’ support made the change of scenery much easier.

The 20 year old said he is humbled by the opportunity to play international basketball.

“Playing for my country is a big honor and just getting to play with the guys that you grew up with, it’s really fun and I enjoyed it,” Ozegovic said.

“A lot of people come to watch you and you have the opportunity to show yourself and be recognized.”

Although he is a freshman, Ozegovic racked up valuable experience prior to his arrival to Fullerton, representing Slovenia in multiple tournaments for the International Basketball Federation, more commonly referred to as FIBA. This past summer, Ozegovic had a major role in U20 European Championship at Bulgaria where he helped Slovenia reach the Division B Championship game.

Despite losing in the final to

Poland, Slovenia still punched a ticket to Division A play for next year.

Though he does not model himself after any particular NBA player, Ozegovic finds himself watching Dallas Mavericks rookie, and fellow countryman, Luka Doncic excel on the big stage.

Like Ozegovic, Doncic developed his skills in Slovenia’s basketball farm system, a program that Ozegovic said he believes does a good job of laying the groundwork with fundamental knowledge of the game.

“We probably have a good program for youth and that’s just why they get all the good basics when they’re young and developing,” Ozegovic said.

Ozegovic prides himself as a good rebounder and shooter, which he thinks can only get better while on the team.

Those attributes alone caught the attention of assistant coach Danny Sprinkle, who offered Ozegovic a full scholarship before he had the chance to see him play in person.

Ozegovic’s ability to join the team came down to great timing and circumstance because CSUF had reached its scholarship player quota.

But it wasn’t until forward Matt Mitchell opted out of his letter of intent with the Titans to join the San Diego State Aztecs in August 2017, that a slot was open.

Tasked with recruiting duties, Sprinkle felt the acquisition of Ozegovic addressed some of the issues CSUF had.

Code: City passes shelter measure Caravan:

Students to aid migrants CONTINUED FROM

TYLER NELSON / DAILY TITAN

Curtis Gamble, an activist for the homeless, advocated against the ordinace at Tuesday’s city council meeting in Fullerton.

CONTINUED FROM 1 “In my opinion, this ordinance is unnecessary. We’ve heard from the churches themselves who believe it to be an impediment. It’s very difficult to support this.”

However, former Mayor Doug Chaffee said the ordinance is not meant to hinder the churches, but help them aid the homeless community.

Chaffee said the applications can establish a network of faith-based shelter programs and clarify emergency homeless shelter codes that he said were “lacking in definition.”

“This gives a definition to ‘shelter’ and also provides an easy way for a church to initiate a program with our help. We don’t have good definitions in our code,” Chaffee said.

Chaffee said the municipal code was intended to begin a larger faith-based shelter program that would aid homeless individuals and prepare them to go back into the community.

“The object is not just shelter, but to help people not need shelter. Get them off of that need, out of homelessness and

back into a productive life,” he said.

Among the opposition to the ordinance was Curtis Gamble, a 58-year-old activist, who was once homeless himself.

“I’m here to say, ‘No, no and no.’ The churches are doing a great job,” Gamble said. “It costs a lot to do what they do, and you shouldn’t take and put them into a little box because they have their (own) ways of getting funding.”

Gamble told the council that they need to take action in creating shelters, fearing the ordinance will harm the ability of churches to help the homeless in Fullerton. He said Fullerton can’t expect other cities to open shelters when the city itself still has no official shelters.

“You can’t let other cities take care of your responsibilities. You want to be city councils, so take care of your responsibilities. Let’s get a shelter here,” he said.

However, some residents agreed that the ordinance would not prevent churches from helping the homeless.

“I support it. What they’re looking for is creating a network of churches that work together. Most churches have those

things,” said Molly McClanahan, former mayor of Fullerton and resident of Fullerton for 55 years.

The Fullerton Police Department has two full-time homeless liaison police officers who assist with calls regarding homelessness in the city since 2016.

These officers work with nonprofits and Orange County staff to assess the transient problem, according to the city of Fullerton.

The city also created a homeless resources manager position in March of this year. The homeless resources manager ensures that nonprofits and faithbased organizations are up-to-date with regional efforts to deal with the issue.

“Fullerton has always been a leader in addressing homelessness, and we will continue to lead,” said Mayor pro-tem Jennifer Fitzgerald. “And we are very happy to see our neighboring cities of Buena Park and Placentia really step up and also partner with us to help address the problem.”

The Association for InterCultural Awareness is part of Associated Students‘ Programming, the part of student government in charge of event planning. They focus on honoring and educating students about different cultures and diversity on campus, and serve as a funding source for events hosted by culture-based student organizations on campus.

Jimenez Perez’s parents were also undocumented immigrants, which makes helping the individuals from the caravan personal to her, she said, adding that she wants to use her platform to help the migrant community.

“That could easily be my mom or my dad. They had to cross the border. Now it’s my turn, I am in a place of privilege now and I can do something about it,” she said.

Piñon Delgado said the way the individuals at the border are being treated is inhumane. He said the problem is not only a border issue or an immigration issue, but a human rights issue.

“I understand that sometimes there is conflict. I’ve heard things (about how) the migrants are causing havoc, but at the end of the day, these people are running for their lives. What are they supposed to do?” he said.

Jimenez Perez said it is important to think about why people are fleeing their countries when considering the border issue.

“I got an opportunity to go to Guadalajara during the Thanksgiving break and go talk to migrants and a lot of people have this fear. They are leaving their home not because they want to, (but) they really have this fear that they can’t go back home,” Jimenez Perez said.

Association for InterCultural Awareness is accepting supplies such as nonperishable food, clothes, blankets, hygiene products and baby clothes. The chair and vice chair also said they are accepting Venmo donations for water and supplies.

Other organizations on campus that are planning on helping the migrants are the Titan Dreamers Resource Center and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.

Core values sustain relationships Event weighs in on student relationships and the importance of reflection.

HOSAM ELATTAR News Editor

The key to a healthy relationship is self-awareness and not compromising core values for the other person, according to Rosalina Camacho, coordinator of the Women and Gender Initiatives at the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center in Cal State Fullerton.

The “We Slay: Healthy Relationship” workshop is one of a four-part series this semester used to empower students to realize their leadership potential.

“Most of us go into a relationship content and positive and then we end up drained because in reality they’re not having the same values as us,” Camacho said at Tuesday’s workshop. “Knowing who you are and knowing what your core values are helps you speak for yourself.”

In Orange County, the divorce rate is higher than the national average. An average of 33 people get divorced every day in the county, according to Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, a Southern California family law firm.

The event helped students determine what their core values are and figure out who they are as individuals, Camacho said.

Melina Wulim, psychology major, said she came to the event not only for her future career but for self-care.

“Today was a confirmation about what my core values are,” Wulim said. “The top of my list is harmony. I know that’s a very cute word but it’s very complex. Harmony is like everybody is pleasantly happy and everybody ought to learn their best. Nobody’s hiding.”

As much as healthy relationships are about knowing yourself, they are also about knowing how to say “no” and move on, Camacho said.

“It is so hard to let go. It’s painful. Sometimes we have to go through that pain and hurt and disappointment to make sure we’re taking care of ourselves because nobody is going to take care of you,” Camacho said.

These techniques are not only important for romantic relationships but for other types of relationships too, like friendships and relationships at school and work. Family relationships are different because most people don’t want to “excommunicate” their family member even if their core values don’t align, Camacho said.

Camacho highlighted the importance of being direct with how you feel and avoiding passive aggressive behavior like ghosting to end a relationship.

“It’s important for students to analyze any relationship they are in because life is

too short. There are 40,000 students on this campus, so if you have a friend that isn’t good to you, make another one. There are so many other people that will be a better friend to you,” Camacho said.

Camacho said taking care of oneself is not selfish, and sometimes a person has to

say “no” because they can’t take care of others until they take care of themselves.

“Being in a healthy relationship is knowing what your core values are and what you’re willing to work on for yourself,” she said. “The rest of the world can’t be happy till you’re happy.”

Cal State Fullerton’s University Police remained busy over the last several weeks with a bait bike catch, possession of a switchblade, a stray dog in the Arboretum and a DUI automobile accident on State College Boulevard.

Possession of a switchblade on Nov. 2 At the beginning of the month, University Police received a call about someone tampering with a car in the Nutwood Parking Structure, according to University Police Capt. Scot Willey.

“When the officers pulled up, they saw him holding wire cutters looking like he was cutting out the muffler,” Willey said.

When University Police officers confronted the man about what he was doing, he reacted aggressively.

“He started cursing and calling them some pretty bad names,” Willey said. “When they checked him to see if he had any weapons on him, they discovered that he had a 4-inch spring-loaded blade knife in his possession, basically considered a switchblade.”

Her blood alcohol content was .26, over three times the legal limit. She was quickly arrested and was charged with a misdemeanor DUI. “Those are misdemeanors unless they’re involved in an accident where they injure somebody,” Willey said.

18 year olds deserve the right to drink The United States has idealistic rules on alcohol consumption.

KORRYN SANCHEZ Layout Editor

If a person can decide to enlist in the armed forces and put their life on the line to protect the United States, then it should be OK for them to buy and drink alcohol as they please.

The drinking age should not be 21 and there should not be exceptions to these rules.

By lowering the drinking age to 18, teenagers’ exposure to unsafe alcohol consumption and the risks that follow can be reduced despite claims that it would be detrimental to their development.

In the United States, a person’s 18th birthday is when they come of age.

A person is legally considered an adult and as an adult they

can enlist in the military, begin fulfilling the right to vote, pay taxes, be tried as an adult in a court of law, sentenced to time in prison and get married.

Federal law in the United States says that a person below the age of 21 cannot buy or consume alcohol publicly.

However, in the United Kingdom it is okay for children older than the age of 16 to drink beer, wine or cider with food as long as an adult is present and gives permission.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the reason there is a drinking age of 21 in the United States is because drinking at an earlier age can cause changes in brain development, lower school performance, establish an alcohol dependence later in life and put young people at risk of abusing drugs.

If this is true than why is it OK for children to begin drinking alcohol at the age of 16 in the United Kingdom?

The United States loves to make rules and enforce laws. It may be how the country avoids anarchy, but sometimes those rules are unnecessary and cause more problems than solutions.

People under the age of 21 consume alcohol, so the

legislation is overly idealistic and creates boundaries that people purposely try to avoid.

This makes legislation both overbearing and misleading.

More than 4,300 people under the age of 21 die yearly due to excessive drinking and people below the age of 21 that drink have cost the United States an estimated sum of $24 billion in 2010, according to the CDC. The CDC also reported that 29 people are killed daily in accidents that are a result of drinking and driving.

That is more than 10,000 people annually, and 28 percent of traffic accident-related deaths.

It is human nature, and especially teenage nature to want to rebel.

Less rules and regulations regarding alcohol could make people under the age of 21 less inclined to excessively drink.

In the United Kingdom, the drinking age is 18, and when you are 16 you can begin drinking in public under the supervision of an adult.

Yet the United Kingdom has fewer drinking and driving-related deaths than the United States does.

According to DrinkDriving.org, a drinking and driving statistics website in the United

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY KORRYN SANCHEZ

Kingdom, about 1,000 people are killed as a result of drinking and driving each year and fewer than 3,700 people are seriously injured as a result of drinking and driving each year.

Because a lower drinking age

seems to work better for the United Kingdom, lowering the drinking age to 18 in the United States has the potential to allow teenagers to responsibly consume alcohol rather than hiding it from parents and authority.

Column: Learning I was dyslexic Even if it takes more time, I’ll continue to succeed in my career.

MEGAN GARCIA Sports Editor

Learning the sequence of the alphabet is as easy as adding 4 plus 5, but if you’re dyslexic, there’s a possibility that those two things can make the shortest sentence or problem turn upside down.

I learned I was dyslexic when an author visited my community college and had the audience do an exercise. He started with asking us to raise our hand if we didn’t like reading. He surveyed the audience and followed up with, “Raise your hand if you can’t get through one page without re-reading a sentence or paragraph and still not understand what you read.”

The author said if we raised our hand to either question, we were probably dyslexic.

My hand raised for both.

My doctor decided against running expensive tests to diagnose me, so she did so by using what she already knew and based on what I told her.

She confirmed I was dyslexic with as much certainty as when she told me I was lactose intolerant.

Finally, the days of daydreaming, motion-sickness and lack of depth perception made sense.

I’ve known about dyslexia since it became a storyline on George Lopez’s self-titled sitcom. I related to many of the

ANITA HUOR / DAILY TITAN

struggles that the character Max, Lopez’s youngest child on the show, had in school, but my struggles were always dismissed as laziness or not trying hard enough.

I was trying, but there weren’t enough hours in the day for me to give my school assignments everything I had. I’m still one of the last people to finish a test and I’m usually a few pages behind on reading assignments.

One of my most embarrassing moments in school was when my eighth grade teacher told the class she was surprised I had scored so low on my high school entrance exam that I had to go to summer school as a result.

In high school, I finally grasped reading a novel from cover to cover. I usually read my literature assignments through SparkNotes and scored

decently enough on tests that I was allowed to be in the International Baccalaureate higher-level English course.

My poor reading habits were magnified in my IB class, and even more so when I got into college. There’s a lot of reading in college and with one semester left until I graduate, I still struggle with assignments for my Spanish class.

I’m jealous of people who can

read a novel in a month. It takes me over a year to finish a 300page book, but it doesn’t stop me from going to Barnes and Noble and buying a piece of literature every month.

As a journalist, I’m usually reading and writing numerous articles per day. I panic at the thought needing to write down someone’s name as they spell it out because I don’t have my voice recorder. I used to hate voice recordings because I hated hearing the sound of my voice on playback, but now I can’t survive without it.

When a person starts to say letters, I feel my brain freeze.

When I need to write down a phone number, I feel anger start to boil within me because I know I’ll have to ask the person to repeat themselves and say it slower.

I confuse c with s, and 45 can easily become 55 if I don’t concentrate hard enough.

Contrary to popular belief, dyslexia affects more than just reading and spelling; it can affect over 30 different traits within a person.

One of these traits is a lack of depth perception. When I look into the mirror, my curling iron usually touches anything but my hair.

What most people fail to understand about dyslexia is that it doesn’t relate to the intelligence quotient.

Some of the greatest minds in the world were dyslexic: Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison.

I’m nowhere near their intelligence capability but I certainly don’t think I am incapable of anything — except for curling my hair. I can read a book, but it just may take me awhile to finish it. Understanding the number side of baseball is one of my favorite pastimes, but the thinking process is like a 12-6 curveball: slow but effective.

Your naturally fiery nature is atypically restrained and hard to access today. The self-governing Sun revolves into a confusing exchange with dreamy Neptune, causing your ambition to drain from you like water through a colander.

You love to be of service to the world.

Although an admirable quality, you can fail to award yourself the same level of compassion you bestow upon others.

You’re looking at the right place.

Determining how to structure your day is a laborious task. Your heightened ambition and how you go about implementing your strategy may seem at odds while fuzzy Neptune faces off with the visionary Sagittarius Sun.

Slovenia: Player pursues basketball dreams CONTINUED FROM

“He was long, he was skilled and he could shoot it. At the time, we really needed some shooting,” Sprinkle said.

Donning No. 23 for the Titans, Ozegovic is waiting for his chance to rise from his current role as a reserve player to a key contributor for CSUF in years to come.

He redshirted last season to get acclimated to living in California, the American style of basketball and jump-started his path to a kinesiology degree.

Redshirting allowed Ozegovic to keep his conditioning and physique in check so he could keep up with the physical brand of basketball present in Division

I, Sprinkle said.

With seniors Kyle Allman and Khalil Ahmad being in the starting rotation this season, Ozegovic said he understands he will not get as much playing time as he desires.

But he is motivated to prove that he is worthy of more minutes and makes the most from what he is awarded.

In a 106-53 win against West Coast Baptist College on Nov. 10, Ozegovic filled the stat sheet with 9 points, four rebounds, a steal and an assist in a season-high 29 minutes of play.

Allman, Ozegovic’s roommate, said he is impressed with his blue-collar work ethic and is a joy to be around.

“I like how much he’s willing

to learn and he never really complains. He always finds a way to get things done,” Allman said.

“He’s just someone who’s positive and always wants the best for everybody around him.”

The idea of having international players on the roster is not a foreign concept for the men’s basketball program, as Ozegovic is one of five players that is born in another country.

“I think it’s really good for our team, it’s kind of like a big melting pot,” Sprinkle said.

“It’s a wonderful experience for all of our guys to be able to communicate and just learn about other cultures and other places on the Earth.”

to 113.

The Titans offense relies heavily on Kyle Allman and Ahmad, their two starting guards. Ahmad leads the Titans in scoring at 21.1 points per game, while Ahmad trails behind by 1 point at 20.1 points per game. Ahmad and Allman combine to average (41.2) over half of the Titans total points per game.

Loyola Marymount guard James Batemon leads the Lions in scoring at 18.8 points per game. Mattias Markusson leads the Lions in rebounding at 8.7 rebounds per game.

Markusson’s size could be an issue for the Titans, standing at 7 feet 3 inches. Markusson is 4 inches taller than the Titans’ tallest player Amel Kuljuhovic standing at 6 feet 10 inches.

The Titans defeated the Lions last season 88-80 at Gersten Pavilion. Ahmad led the Titans in scoring with 25 points and Batemon had a game-high 29 points for the Lions. Despite the win, Fullerton was outrebounded 34-30.

Following Wednesday’s game, the Titans will head out on a three-game road trip before returning home on Dec. 29.

Wednesday’s game will tipoff at 7 p.m.

MATTHEW MENDOZA Asst. Sports Editor

The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team will host Loyola Marymount University on Wednesday night at Titan Gym. The Titans (3-5) are coming off a 9960 win against Cal Lutheran. The Titans started the game on a 19-0 run.

Guard Khalil Ahmad had a game-high 29 points from 12 shots made out 13 attempts.

The Lions (8-1) head to Fullerton fresh off their first loss of the season against UCLA after starting the season on an eight-game win streak.

The Titans have yet to lose a home game this season. Fullerton currently leads the Big West in points per game at 81.3 and rank sixth in the conference in points allowed at 72.4.

In their two home games this season, the Titans have outscored opponents 205

Women’s basketball will match up with the Ivy League school for the third time in both teams’ history.

Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball will put its two-game win streak on the line when they travel to New York to face Columbia University on Wednesday.

The Titans benefited from playing in the confines of Titan Gym, defeating Dartmouth last Wednesday and beating Cal State University, Bakersfield 64-56 at Homecoming 2018 on Saturday.

Guards Raina Perez and Jade Vega accounted for 34 of CSUF’s 64 points on the night. Meanwhile, head coach Jeff Harada provided first-year post player Madison Freemon extended minutes versus the Roadrunners, scoring 5 points in 15 minutes.

Seeing her production and minutes

steadily drop in the past few games, going 0-for-4 from the field in the Titans’ past two contests, guard Hannah Thompson has a chance to regain her scoring touch in Wednesday’s game.

Thompson, the fourth-year guard from Oregon, has been a starter in all games this season.

Columbia University can halt its six-game losing streak that has put the Lions in seventh place among Ivy League teams.

In its 74-60 loss to Boston College on Sunday, the Lions shot a season-low 34.4 percent from the field.

Columbia is led by first-year guard and forward Sienna Durr, who has been averaging a team leading 15.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game this season.

Durr’s efforts on the court were recognized when she received Ivy League Co-Player and Rookie of the Week honors for performances against Saint Joseph’s and Boston College last week.

The game is set for an 8 a.m. start.
