Students march against assault Seven

Community gathers for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. JADE LOVE Daily Titan
Cal State Fullerton students and campus officials came together Tuesday to “Walk for Change” against sexual assault and harassment for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The goal of the march was “to send a message of prevention to our community and call on all Titans to step up and keep our campus safe,” said Rebecca Ross, a health science major and intern at the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center (WARC). Before the march began, students and interns came to the front of the group and shared the reasons they decided to participate. “I saw firsthand how sexual violence and domestic violence affects families and children. As a U-2 intern, I’m here trying to educate high school and college kids about the effects of that and seeing full circle how that affects everybody,” said one demonstrator and intern for WARC. The march began at the Housing Piazza and continued past the Kinesiology and Health Science building, Titan Shops, Titan Walk, through the Quad and back to the Piazza. “I walk because like many of you, I know many people who have been impacted by these crimes and in my work, I see the effects of that,” said Alyssa Avila, a CSUF Violence Prevention Educator

and Victim Advocate. “Not only do I see the challenges that victims and survivors face in healing, in seeking justice and holding their perpetrators accountable, but I also see the challenges and frustrations that folks who are dedicated to this work, how they face those frustrations every day as well.” Participants held signs that read “End the Silence” and “Don’t Get Raped” with “get” and the “d” in “raped” crossed out reading “Don’t Rape.” Participants also chanted “No matter where, no matter when, we will always take a stand!” and “Two, four, six, eight, no more date rape” as they walked through campus.

The Major League Baseball season started at the beginning of April, and with it, seven former Cal State Fullerton players started the season on Major League rosters. That number ranks fifth among all colleges, according to Baseball America. Former Titan and current Oakland Athletics left fielder Khris Davis has already hit four home runs in the young season. Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, who won the College World Series with the Titans in 2004, has become a stalwart for his Major League team. Titan baseball is a storied program. It has produced 317 professional baseball players in its history, 69 of which made it to the show. Titan greats include five-time all-star and current Miami Marlins bench coach Tim Wallach, former San Diego Padres all-star Phil Nevin (now manning the third-base coaching box for the San Francisco Giants.)

Association collects feminine products
Lux on Her Side donation drive lasts until April 24. TAYLOR ENGLE Daily Titan
Lux on Her Side, a menstrual product donation drive, is accepting donations at CSUF until April 24. The drive is led by CSUF’s Nursing Student Association (NSA) and aims to collect 6,300 products, providing the Women’s Transitional Living Center (WTLC) with three months’ worth of goods. “The project sort of came about from a few different angles,” said NSA co-historian and project coordinator Lindsay Brill. “First, I was concerned about some of the threats to access to women’s health care ... and I wanted to figure out a way
to make a difference in our local community.” Brill said she got the idea from working in a mental health clinic, where she witnessed a female patient who had to ask a male nurse to unlock a closet for access to a sanitary pad. Brill said she asked the woman if this made her feel embarrassed, and the woman responded that she was simply thankful to have the opportunity to ask because she was homeless and had no access to products. “I take for granted every month that I have these products, and I became interested in that idea,” Brill said. Brill said she discovered that living without access to these products can cause women to develop infections, illnesses and stress. In order to combat this, she said she took her idea and partnered up with the
