Title IX: CSUF Clery Report due

UC System sues Trump admin.

DeVos’ plans for school policy raises urgency of deadline for CSUF’s sexual assault report.

CSUF not considering legal action, but evaluates its options regarding DACA appeals

After Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’ announcement of her plans to abrade certain sexual assault guidelines within Title IX, the Oct.1 deadline for Cal State Fullerton to submit its annual Clery Report of on-campus sexual assault statistics has become more crucial than ever. CSUF would face a number of penalties, should it fail to meet the deadline. “If you don’t post it on time, and properly, then it’s a violation, and you can be fined by the Department of Education,” said Administrative Capt. John Brockie of the University Police Department. University Police submits the report annually on behalf of the university. “(The Department of Education) can initiate an audit on their behalf. It’s very important,” Brockie said. In April 2017, the fines for universities’ noncompliance with the Jeanne Clery Act were more than doubled to $54,789 per violation by the Department of Education. Brockie said he’s confident the university will meet its deadline and that it will be posted on University Police’s website alongside an email notifying students, faculty and staff of the posting. Between 2013 and 2015, 43 crimes were reported in or around CSUF’s main campus involving forcible sex offenses, domestic or dating

(The Department of Education) can initiate an audit on their behalf. It’s very important.

JOHN BROCKIE University Police Administrative Captain cies on the belief that the process of addressing such crimes is inherently flawed. “This campus official, who may or may not have any training in adjudicating sexual misconduct, is expected to render a judgment, a judgment that changes the direction of both students’ lives,” DeVos said in her announcement. Brockie’s confidence in University Police’s ability to address sexual assault remains unfazed by DeVos’ remarks. “When you talk about sexual assault, there’s a lot of potential issues,” Brockie said. “From a criminal standpoint, I’m very confident that we do investigate sexual assault allegations properly and that we follow up on them, and follow criminal procedures and file them with the district attorney.” SEE CLERY 2

The University of California Office of the President, announced a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and its acting Secretary Elaine Duke Friday over the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. “The United States and the university have benefitted enormously from the presence of the Dreamers, accomplished young men and women who are our students, and colleagues and neighbors,” the lawsuit reads. “They are Americans, a fact the defendants’ precipitous decision cannot change.” The lawsuit was filed by the Regents of the University of California and UC President Janet Napolitano, with pro bono support of Covington & Burling, LLP. Napolitano served as secretary of DHS in 2012 and headed the creation of the DACA program under former President Barack Obama. “It is imperative ... that we stand up for these vital members of the UC community. They represent the best of who we are — hard-working, resilient and motivated high achievers,” Napolitano said in a press release. According to the lawsuit, the UC system has about 4,000 undocumented students, many of whom benefit from

DACA, as well as staff members who have been aided by the program. The plaintiffs decided to file the lawsuit because the administration failed to “articulate a satisfactory explanation” for eliminating DACA, which has received heavy investment and benefits by the system’s “intellectual capital and productivity.” The lawsuit also claims that the repeal is based on an incorrect legal premise by relying on the purported illegality of the DACA program, despite the fact that “no court has upheld DACA as unlawful.”

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LAWSUIT “(The) defendants’ capricious rescission of the DACA program violates both the procedural and substantive requirements of the APA, as well as the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment,” the lawsuit reads. The lawsuit says the rescission violates Administrative Procedures Act (APA) guidelines by preventing DHS from granting advance parole or renewing DACA status after Oct. 5 and violates the Due Process Clause by failing to provide any process to the UC system or DACA recipients before removing whatever value the program offers.

CSUF shuts out Utah Valley 3-0 Titans continue to maintain their one game loss. KATHRYNE PADILLA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer won its second game in a row with a 3-0 shutout against the Utah Valley Wolverines Sunday which improved its record to 5-1-2, but the Titans are still focused on how to improve. “It’s always good to get a win,” said Titans Head Coach Demian Brown. “I thought we could have done a little bit better in our attack and kind of forcing the issue a little more and it’s those types of things we’ll continue to work on.” The first half was scoreless until the 29th minute, when Kaycee Hoover took a shot opportunity and fired the ball into the back of the net to give Fullerton a 1-0 lead. Shortly after in the 35th minute, Tala Haddad took a corner kick that rolled through the defense and into the net for an unexpected second goal. “I was a little bit surprised. It was a good surprise,” Haddad said. “I guess it’s called an Olympic goal when it doesn’t touch anybody else and it goes right in. Those don’t happen very often, so it was a nice feeling.” Three minutes later, Samantha Koemans’ placed her foot perfectly under the ball to send her free kick over the three-person wall

Brockie said that sexual assault is the most underreported serious crime on campus, and that a “culture of trust” between survivors and the university is necessary. Recently, CSUF took its next step forward in sexual assault reporting with the rollout of a Title IX website, which CSUF Title IX coordinator Mary Beccerra called “especially exciting” in an Aug. 30 press release due to the ease with which a potential survivors can use the site’s online reporting tool.

Dreamer Resolution passed The Academic Senate indicated support for DACA unanimously. NICOLETTE BELK Staff Writer

The Academic Senate broke into applause after they unanimously passed a resolution to continue supporting Dreamers at Cal State Fullerton Thursday. Resolution ASD 17-140, called the “Resolution in Continued Support for Campus Dreamers,” was put forward by Academic Senate ViceChair John Patton and seconded by ASI Chief Campus Relations Officer Kelly Zarate. “With this resolution, I think we’ll be sending a very strong, clear, unambiguous message to our undocumented students that they have our support, despite what they may hear from a minority of people in discourses on campus,” Patton said. According to the resolution, the decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by the U.S. Department of Justice “places over 800,000 productive members of the nation” at fear of deportation and lessens their ability to contribute to our society. Thus, Resolution ASD 17-140 re-affirms the values expressed by the Senate with ASD 16-158 from Dec. 8, 2016, championing CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White and CSUF President Mildred Garcia for their support of DACA and symbolically backing their commitment to support Dreamers and an inclusive campus environment. “I think that there is so much negativity in so much of the media right now that I think it’s really important to send out some really positive affirmations that this is something we really support and believe in,” said Academic Senate member Nancy Fitch. Patton’s resolution also encourages the university to “guarantee student privacy” by refusing to release information on immigration status by backing the rights of students under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and by refusing to cooperate with deportations, raids or any land access by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. It also encourages faculty to add statements to their syllabi and TITANium sites regarding resources like the Titan Dreamers Resource Center. During their debate on the resolution, the Academic Senate edited a number of clauses related to the inclusivity of the text used. Academic Senate member Jon Bruschke felt one clause should change “DACA students” to “students facing immigration issues.” The change was adopted with no objections. “When I circulated this to some of the affected people, they felt it was important that it be inclusive and to recognize

you might not be a DACA student but you might have a family member, or you might be undocumented but not a DACA student,” Bruschke said. One member said the resolution should more broadly mention staff members on campus as well as the student body. Chancellor White released a statement on Sept. 5 where he talked about potential staff cuts as a result of the DACA decision. “To our wonderful CSU employees impacted by this revocation, I am troubled and dismayed,” White said in the

statement. “If (members of Congress) fail to act timely, regretfully, there are no options to allow CSU to continue to employ you.” The Senate decided to replace the wording of “students, faculty, alumni and families of these individuals at risk of deportation” with “members of the University community at risk of deportation.” Among others, the Senate will distribute their resolution to the CSU Board of Trustees, White, Garcia, the California Faculty Association, the Coordinator of the CSUF Titan Dreamers Resource Center,

Fullerton Mayor Bruce Whitaker and California Gov. Jerry Brown. ASI Chief Governmental Officer Saba Ansari said during the meeting that ASI is planning to pass a resolution similar to the ASD 17140 to continue to show their support. “It’s the actions and not the words that matter. I just encourage us to think of this more than just a resolution but a commitment on part of the faculty; it’s the actions that are going to make a difference,” said Academic Senate member Merri Lynn Casem.

Academic Senate Resolution ASD 17-140 (Sept. 7, 2017) Whereas The United States Justice Department has decided that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive action will be rescinded; and Whereas This decision places over 800,000 productive members of the nation at risk of, and under constant fear of, deportation, and Whereas The DACA program is widely acknowledged as a strategic benefit to the state and nation, and Whereas The decision to rescind DACA creates people living in a fear of their own government, will not change immigration patterns, and turns enforcement actions on the people who have demonstrated that they contribute to our society; be it therefore Resolved: That the Academic Senate re-affirms its belief in the value of DACA expressed in ASD 16-158; and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate commends Chancellor White’s recognition that CSU enrollment and tuition policies are not based on DACA status and thus the action to rescind will not impact these practices, fully endorse currently pending Assembly Bill 21 (2017) and further offer our ongoing support for the mandates and mission of the California Dream Act (AB 540/2000); and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate affirms the commitments by Chancellor White and President Garcia to support our DACA students; and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate affirm that our Dreamers will forever have our support, will forever have our respect, and will forever be Titans; and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate recommend that the University guarantee student privacy by refusing to release information regarding the immigration status of our students and community members, by fully implementing and protecting all student rights as granted under FERPA, and by purging and securely deleting all information about student citizenship or immigration status not necessary for immediate University functions, including all citizenship and immigration information on students who have applied but not matriculated, withdrawn from the University, or graduated; and be it further Resolved: That the University refuse to cooperate with immigration actions regarding deportations or raids; and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate recommend that the University refuse U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) physical access to all land owned or controlled by the CSU for the purposes pursuing enforcement actions; and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate encourage faculty to increase program, department and college-level efforts to symbolically and materially support undocumented students and staff within their respective units; and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate encourage faculty to include a statement in their Syllabi and Titanium sites informing students that there are campus resources such as the Titan Dreamers Resource Center and CSU resources (http:// www2.calstate.edu/attend/student-services/resources-for-undocumentedstudents/Pages/systemwide-communication-and-guidance.aspx); and be it further Resolved: That the Academic Senate express a commitment to cultivating a space of inclusivity for all CSU students, faculty, staff, alumni and families of these individuals who may be at risk of deportation; and be it finally Resolved: That the CSUF Faculty Senate distribute this resolution to: CSU Board of Trustees, CSU Chancellor, CSUF President, CSU campus Senate Chairs, Academic Senate of the CSU, California Faculty Association (CFA), California State Student Association (CSSA), CSUF chapter of Associated Students Inc. (ASI), Governor of the State of California, Mayor of Fullerton, CSUF Vice President of Student Affairs and the Dean of Students, CSUF Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Director of Educational Opportunity Programs, Coordinator of the CSUF DREAM Center, CSUF Daily Titan.

The lawsuit calls on the defendants to set aside any unconstitutional, unjust or unlawful actions. “Defendants did not analyze the actual costs and benefits of allowing DACA recipients to

Daily Titan Wednesday, CSUF President Mildred García said the primary focus of the university in responding to the removal of DACA is working with members of Congress and CSU lobbyists in Washington on new legislation. “I always say we are the

model comprehensive university of the nation, and it’s showing to the rest of the world that the demographics are changing. The United States is changing, and we’re demonstrating to the world how you do that,” García said. CSUF Chief Communications Officer Jeffrey Cook said

that any action similar to the UC lawsuit by the CSU system would be handled at a systemwide level by the office of Chancellor Timothy P. White. “My understanding is that there has been no decision to take legal action at this time, but the CSU is evaluating and considering all options to support

DACA students and employees,” Cook said in an email. “CSU leaders will be discussing this issue with legislators next week in Washington.” Representatives of the CSU Chancellor’s Office could not be reached as of this reporting. Statements will be added online as they become available.

SQE proposes joint memorandum

HSS ICC approached about possible Yiannopoulos visit. BREANNA BELKEN Asst. News Editor

Students for Quality Education presented the Humanities and Social Sciences Inter-Club Council (HSS ICC) with a request to issue a memorandum in support of a counter event and denouncement of the possible upcoming appearance of Milo Yiannopoulos on campus. SQE is asking the council for a preliminary vote to issue the memorandum at their next meeting. HSS ICC has issued progressive memorandums in the past, which SQE took to other councils and ASI. SQE hopes other councils and organizations will follow if the HSS ICC approves to issue the memorandum. “If we did pass it, and the council approved of this, it would pretty much mean that us as a council are against this event that is happening. We want to let ASI and (Student Life and Leadership) know that as

a college, we stand against what this speaker is bringing to our campus,” said Dania Salgado, chair of HSS ICC. Two members of SQE, Liz Sanchez and Rebecca Hesgard spoke during the public speakers portion of the council’s meeting to present on Yiannopoulos’ background and the previous incidents spurred from his visits to other college campuses. “When he went to UC Berkeley, he became a nationally recognized figure because of the large protest that happened due to his presence. He targeted specific students in vulnerable communities, and it’s a question of student safety,” Hesgard said. Last semester, the council joined SQE in hosting a rally event against the CSU tuition increase, which the council issued a memorandum on and presented to the Board of Directors. Based on the values of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, SQE believes the HSS ICC would support their counter event on the day of Yiannopoulos’ appearance. The presentation also

come from the university,” Sanchez said. SQE also mentioned the current political climate as a reason to denounce the Yiannopoulos event and cited last semester’s incident involving members of the CSUF College Republicans club creating a fake Instagram account promoting a “Students for Quesadillas

and Enchiladas” event. Chris Boyle, president emeritus of the College Republicans, said he knew which members of the College Republicans were running the fake account but did not stop them because he believed the account facilitated free speech, as it was a parody account. “As a club member I think

it’s unfortunate that the HSS ICC would, instead of standing up for our club, which is a member of the Humanities and Social Sciences, consider taking the side of an unregistered student organization,” Boyle said. The vote will take place during the next HSS ICC meeting on Sept. 15.

Dead: Eerie photographs of the departed CONTINUED FROM

1

“All art that I respond to crosses a line. It deeply transgresses and goes to where I’ve never been,” Burman said in an email. “I see no ‘objects’ in my work ever, only transgressive being- truth.” After studying English literature at the University of Toronto, Burman said he earned his Ph.D. in American literature at York University before his passion for photography flourished. Once Burman picked up a Nikon F2A, the time he previously spent writing prose transferred into photography. Burman traveled to Sicily in the ‘80s to work in the

Catacombe dei Cappuccini in Palermo, where 8,000 mummified bodies and skeletons that date as far back as the 1600s lie. It was there that he took his first post-mortem photograph. “It was a sense of entering another realm, of measureless strangeness, darkness, beauty. You forgot time,” Burman said. Since then, he has traveled to several other countries documenting his fascination of preserved bodies. “In a real sense, I do this work to be able to breathe. For me, the work is permanence,” Burman said. “It strips away my mortality, or (it) feels that way.” To capture the details of

the specimen, jars and cadavers, Burman works extremely closely to the subject using an APO-macro lens on the 4-by-5 setting. He then switches to the 8-by-10 mild wide-angle lens to gather more images that may show further specific details. Along the walls of the exhibit hang pictures showcasing various preserved body parts, including a mummified Egyptian head dating back to 700 B.C. and a male skull with protruding veins and arteries. Religious studies graduate student Kat Mays said that she may get nightmares from viewing some of the photos but was nonetheless intrigued by it all. One of the most

interesting photographs on display was of a face without a skull hung by two strings. All photographs show each body part or person in different elements, reflecting “the hardness and motions of time laid on and under the skin,” Burman said. “This artist really has a unique style, and he’s photographed something very different,” said CSUF student Ryan Cheng. Additionally, Cheng said that Burman’s rare style can be attributed to the daring subject of his photographs. The exhibit will be open until Dec. 7, and fans of Burman can expect the third volume of his book “The Dead” to be released later this year.

‘Here’s Johnny!’ carves into Horror Nights ‘The Shining’ and ‘Insidious’ inspire new thrills at Universal. CODY GION Opinion Editor

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights proves to be Southern California’s self-proclaimed “most extreme Halloween event” this season. Two of the newest action-packed and jumpscare ridden mazes are inspired by the legendary “The Shining” and upcoming horror film “Insidious: Chapter 4,” beginning Sept. 15. After a special behindthe-scenes tour given by creative director and producer of Halloween Horror Nights John Murdy, these two mazes are sure to impress and incite fear among those brave enough to venture inside. The meticulous attention to detail inside the mazes is astounding and should be satisfying for both horror-film enthusiasts and thrill seekers. “Insidious: Beyond the Further” This brand-new frightening maze is based on the fourth film of the “Insidious” series set to hit theatres Jan. 5. The maze brings to life the exhilarating setting

of parapsychologist, Elise Rainer’s childhood house in New Mexico. Rainer’s childhood house plays an instrumental role in the maze because it is where she experienced ongoing paranormal events. Her history of ghost sightings along with continuous abuse from her father pushed her to run away. “She leaves home at one point in the (fourth) movie,” Murdy said. “Now she has to come back to deal with this haunting that is taking place at the house she grew up in.” Those brave enough to set foot into this walk-through attraction will be exposed immediately to an old, creepy staircase inclining toward its dimly lit top. Barely visible is a figure known as the ghost boy wearing a ragged duck mask, who appears and disappears to frighten those who take notice. The entrance alone is enough to make the hairs on the back of attendees’ necks stand. If this isn’t enough, distant shouts of “Duck-roll-andcover” complement sights of antique rusted tools and eerie paintings, dusty books, corroded sinks, aroma of laundry detergent and periodic ghost boy encounters, adding to the aesthetic of the Cold War era.

The maze includes hints of inspiration from its predecessors, such as the “red door.” “In the world of ‘Insidious,’ (the red door) always signifies that we are going into the Further, which is the spirit realm,” Murdy said. Inside the spirit realm, the darkness is accompanied by the thick, hazy clouds of fog. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of confrontations and jump scares with demonic entities sprinkled throughout the maze. It will surely leave those who braved the maze breathless and tired of screaming. “The Shining” Guests are now able to relive the exhilarating Stanley Kubrick’s classic horror film “The Shining.” When given the approval to create a maze inspired by the classic film, Murdy found it quite challenging. “What makes it challenging is there were two different things going on with the movie. On one level, you have a story of Jack Torrance, which is a story Jack Nicholson plays,” Murdy said. “A lot of what goes on in the movie is in his head. It is his descent into madness, so we had to figure out how to theatricalize that.” Despite the challenge,

John Murdy, director and producer of Halloween Horror Nights previewed a new maze duplicating the iconic scene in “The Shining.” Visitors watch from Wendy Torrance’s perspective as Jack axes the door.

there is a lot more than what meets the eye when a guest first enters. The entrance is a hedge maze similar to the scene before the storm hits. When entering from the hedge maze, guests will be enshrouded by pitch blackness with only a sight of a door with “REDRUM” written across it, while hearing Jack Torrance’s son Danny repeating the word in the background. The Overlook Hotel is not being built due to the facade. The aerial shots in the film contributed to the look that Murdy said would be

impossible to replicate because it would be too tall for the attraction. Jack Torrance’s descent into his madness is expressed in a surreal and theatrical manner with a mix of video, props as well as well as Jack Torrance chasing visitors. Multiple actors playing Jack Torrance provide plenty of jump scares on their own. Not only that, but every iconic scene in “The Shining” is in this maze, becoming a dream paradise for followers of the cult classic. Everything from the typos

in the phrasing, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” on the walls to Jack Torrance chopping through the door with his axe screaming, “Here’s Johnny!” while his wife Wendy holds her knife on the other side in fear provides a sense of the classic film. Fans of “The Shining” and horror-film enthusiasts will surely enjoy this maze. Rigged with enough jump scares and beautiful theatrical storytelling, this is set to be one of the greatest experiences one can enjoy for Halloween.

‘It’ more than floats, it soars Stephen King adaptation targets childhood fears. KALEB STEWART Freelance Writer

“It” is a rare breed of Hollywood horror that leaves its audience in a perpetual state of unease, yet ends on a note that uplifts while it chills. One doesn’t have to be familiar with the Stephen King novel or the Tim Curry miniseries from the ‘90s to fall in love with this film’s grotesque, earnest soul. The story is familiar, especially to those who have watched Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” which takes inspiration from King’s works. A group of kids are stalked by nightmarish images inspired by their greatest fears, not realizing until they confide in each other that they are being hunted by an ancient evil that lives beneath their small town. This evil usually takes the form of a dancing clown named Pennywise, and is responsible for a series of child murders. The graphic death of a little boy opens the film, showing the audience that no child onscreen is safe from Pennywise. While the bone-chilling performance by Bill Skarsgård

certainly helps, what makes Pennywise such a terrifying opponent is just how genuinely scared the cast of kids seem of all the special effects and gore surrounding them. The performance feels natural for actors who are so young, whether they are screaming in terror or embracing one another in a moment of surprising tenderness. Everything outside of the killer clown’s manipulations feels grounded and real, making scares that could have seemed absurd and silly in a lesser production feel ominous. While the clown is the major selling point, some of the scariest things in “It” are the non-creature monsters known as adults. When the kids aren’t battling supernatural forces, they are grappling with the harsh controlling nature of warped grown-ups. This includes scenes that involve a father with a non-platonic fascination with his daughter and a boy who is kept in a constant state of terror about the outside world thanks to his chronically overprotective mother. “It” is not afraid of exploiting childhood for the sake of horror, regardless of how painful it can be to watch. This dark subject matter makes director Andy Muschietti’s ability to end the film in a way that is both poignant and empowering to those who live

Like many great horror films before “It,” the basis of the story’s theme is about coming faceto-face with trauma, tangible or supernatural. The children of “It” deal with life-changing tragedy and stifling terror; whether they come out of it all alive is less unsettling than how the events of the film will impact the rest of their lives. Perhaps the film’s only real flaw is that all the material explored is going to be familiar to those who have seen the

1990’s television series and the many films and programs which drew inspiration from “It.” This adaptation is more effective both in performances and direction, but the story is still well-worn. It is the extra attention spent on the characters and their plights that makes this version more fresh than that which had come before, not its admittedly basic storyline. “It” not only floats, but uncompromisingly soars right into the darkest corners of childhood, solidifying itself as the best Stephen King adaptation since Stanley Kubrick visited the Overlook Hotel 37 years ago.

6 OPINION Fashion designers need to be more inclusive

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2017

New York Fashion Week once again fails to show diversity.

SOPHIA ACEVEDO Asst. Opinion Editor

Lanky. Curvy. Tall. Short. Wide hips. Flat chest. Women come in all shapes and sizes. The modeling industry, however, still hasn’t fully come to terms with this. New York Fashion Week is underway and once again, the rest of society is reminded of how narrow-minded fashion designers are when it comes to model’s shape and size. After watching for a few moments, it’s easy to see a pattern. Clones of models walk on the runway, the majority with 24-inch waists, thigh gaps and long slender legs. Every now and then, designers like Christian Siriano gain a conscience and include a couple of plus-size models. But with a simple blink, these models can easily be missed during a runway show. Other companies like LVMH and Kering have also claimed that they are not using size zero models. But does the fashion industry honestly expect congratulatory applause for sensationalizing a headline that shows the actions of a few rather than the majority? Even with an open-minded designer like former “Project Runway” winner Siriano, plus-size models hardly receive the attention they deserve during fashion week. The Fashion Spot reported that during the fall 2017 fashion weeks in New York, Paris, Milan and London only 30 of the 7,035 models who walked were plus-sized in 11 of 241 shows. The supposed progress

HANNAH MILLER / DAILY TITAN

With the New York Fashion Week underway, fashion designers are neglecting diversity among women by using models of only one body type. A call for body inclusivity is necessary, and an increase in plus-size women walking the runway is the solution.

stated by a few fashion designers doesn’t reflect reality. Body inclusivity isn’t a priority for designers, most of whom are too reluctant to make any changes that could damage their small-minded perspectives on fashion innovation. Despite what designers may think, models are not moving hangers. They do more than walk runways and promote clothes. Thanks to social media, plus-size models like Ashley Graham have gained millions of followers for showing off and branding

their personalities. In this way, models have become much more than uncommon yet popular faces. The more they resemble the rest of society, the more approachable and relatable they become. People want to see what’s new in fashion, but more so they would like to see models who look like them on the runway. If there were more models representing the beautiful differences among women, the fashion-forward pieces worn may suddenly be more desireable. It certainly is a challenge.

Designers view most models for their lengthy slender frames, but should instead add different sizes for a change. Far too lazy to challenge this notion, designers prefer to work with thinner frames rather than test their abilities with natural features like curves and stature. In this way, designers continue to make desireable clothing that is profitable even if it doesn’t represent everyone. However, in doing so, they marginalize most of society and limit their profits. The average woman is

between a size 16 and 18, not a size 2, according to a 2016 study from the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education. The average height for models ages 20 and up is 5 feet 4 inches tall, according to data collected from 2011 to 2014 by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. It is not 5 feet 10 inches, one of the many heights that should be represented in the fashion industry. It’s about time that all designers represent every shape and size in the world,

not just a selective few. If these changes are made across the board and with the majority of fashion designers, the industry could then argue that they were progressive in body-size inclusivity. Designers pride themselves on their creativity and forward-thinking designs. Instead of being stuck on past body ideals, it’s about time they truly show what’s next in fashion by creating looks for a variety of women, not just for the lanky, but for those above size 4 and below 5 feet 10 inches.

9/11 needs to be a national holiday A full day is required to pay proper tribute to victims and families.

RICK PIÑON

Asst. Opinion Editor

Every year on Sept. 11, people living in the United States take a moment of silence to reflect upon the traumatic event that unfolded in 2001. Whether experienced in person, behind a television screen or taught from a textbook, the stories of 9/11 impact many Americans and should serve as justification for its approval as a national holiday. Adults cannot escape the annual reminders of the tragedy that will forever be embedded in American history. So why is it that this day is not recognized as a national holiday? In order to properly remember and honor the 2,997 lives lost that day, Americans need a day of remembrance. It’s the least America could do for those who risked their lives to save and protect others. A national holiday is a day recognized by the U.S.

government and appointed by Congress. These include Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Presidents Day etc. These are official holidays set in place to remember important people or events that have impacted the United States. What happened on 9/11 fits this category. The 406 public service employees who did not survive while serving to protect and save lives deserve to have a full day of tribute. Martin Luther King Jr. Day remembers a leader who led a movement of change for America. Memorial Day remembers soldiers who served and died for the United States. These events are symbols to the American people and have earned their rights as holidays. The emotional connection that comes with 9/11 aligns with the characteristics and importance of American holidays; representing a piece of America’s past. 9/11 as a holiday would give special homage to those killed in the planes, buildings or surrounding areas. It would no longer be a mere minute of silence but rather, a full-fledged contribution of proper tribute. As a national holiday, people would have the day off of work to watch remembrance documentaries or attend memorial ceremonies. People could take the day off to concentrate on the importance of the history

created on that day and to move forward. Firefighters and policemen entered those buildings in an effort to save as many lives as possible, not knowing if they were going to survive. Aside from the service men and women, there were a total of 2,591 casualties. This alone is enough of a reason for why America should recognize the tragic event of 9/11 as a national holiday. Victims of 9/11 include not only family members, friends and co-workers but also everyone who watched the event unfold from home. This holiday would serve as a day of mourning for the people of America who are annually reminded of this massive blow to the United States. Sept. 11, 2001 will always be remembered as the anniversary of when America was struck with the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. Most people will give time out of their day to remember those who fell, but a greater contribution should be dedicated from the American people and government. A national holiday would appropriately commemorate the lives lost in the events of terror. America deserves time to recognize the impact of the events that occurred on 9/11, but also time to remember each and every person lost on that day.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Your words don’t seem to fully align with your actions today, confusing people about your true intentions. Although you can be quite expressive about your feelings now, you really don’t want anyone breathing down your neck.

Your thoughts are clearing new ground as they invite you into your own future. Perhaps you didn’t see it coming, but your yesterdays are morphing into tomorrows faster than you can keep up.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

You’re not afraid to take a risk today, but may later discover that you stepped on a hornet’s nest. You might inadvertently do something that hurts someone’s feelings and rather than telling you, they could throw a temper tantrum.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

You’re tempted to unplug all your gadgets, leave everything behind and head off into the wild unknown. You’re itching for an adventure but can’t seem to fit one into your busy schedule these days.

VIRGO

You can build up such a high level of resistance today that you’re able to fend off an attack from someone who doesn’t want you to succeed. But you’re too weary of the drama to respond to each slight you may receive.

SAGITTARIUS

Although you ambitiously strive to be accomplished in the outer world, you also suffer from emotional insecurities just like everyone else. However, you won’t likely show the weaker links of your chain.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You may resist the emotional intensity that seems to follow you around like a storm cloud today. Rather than meeting others halfway to share your feelings, you might distract everyone with your own brand of mischief.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)

You could find yourself on cloud nine as your self-esteem soars. But rather than resting on your laurels or celebrating your victory, you’re eager to try something else to add to your current list of accomplishments.

8 SPORTS Soccer: Fullerton looks to improve CONTINUED FROM

The Wolverines were only able to muster three shots in the second half and were unable to complete them which allowed Fullerton to conclude the game with a total

of ten shots and one save. “I think we did well this game, I think there’s a lot to take away from it and this next week of training is going to be very important. We have a big game at Denver,” Haddad said. “That’s going

Titans break scoreless streak CSUF shuts out San Francisco after a twogame losing streak. YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer rebounded from their two-game losing streak with a dominant 3-0 shutout of the University of San Francisco Dons on Sunday. The Titans were determined to bounce back after their loss to Utah Valley on Friday. Their shot attempts started early with midfielder Ross McPhie firing first at the 10th minute and Bass Sarr following a few seconds after. Overall, the

Titans’ aggressiveness led them to outshoot San Francisco 11-3 in the first half and 18-7 for the game. The match was another physical one for the Titans, with San Francisco committing 14 fouls and Fullerton finishing with 12. Defender Sam Molz earned the Titans their first yellow card of the game at the 41st minute, and the second half of the match continued the aggressiveness, as the Dons pocketed a yellow card three minutes into the half. Both teams finished with three yellow cards each. The biggest challenges for the Titans in their last few games were their unsuccessful attempts to finish their shots that left them outscored 7-0 during the prior two games

heading into Sunday. Midfielder Christian Pinzon scored the first goal of the night and his first goal of the season to end the Titans’ two-game scoreless drought in the 57th minute. Before facing the Dons, the Titans recorded three goals overall with McPhie and Samuel Goni contributing two of these. McPhie added his second cap of the season in the 70th minute before assisting Goni’s second in the 88th minute. The victory leaves the Titans with a 3-3 overall record with three games to go before they begin conference play. The Titans will travel back home to face Vermont Sept. 15 at 7 p.m.

Volleyball rallies while on the road Titans win two out of four contests over the weekend. KATHRYNE PADILLA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton volleyball traveled for the first time this season over the weekend, heading to Towson, Maryland for four intense matches in the Towson Tournament and brought back an improved overall record of 4-6 as a souvenir. The Titans faced the undefeated Towson University Tigers in their first match but fell short in all three sets, taking their first loss of the weekend. Fullerton entered the first set dominating the Tigers, 2319. However, the Tigers made a comeback after two errors and one kill. It didn’t take long for Titans outside hitter Shimen Fayad to make a game-tying kill to even things up at 25-25. Outside hitter Madeline Schneider gave CSUF the lead briefly at 28-27 but the Tigers managed to tie things up again at 30-30. However, a bad set from Summer Kerins and two kills from the Tigers resulted in a loss for Fullerton, 32-30. For the remaining two sets, Fullerton trailed slowly behind and tried to recuperate from the

setback but couldn’t before falling in a sweep. Schneider led the team with nine kills followed by Tyler Fezzey with five. Savahna Costello outdug Towson’s libero, Anna Holehouse, with 18 digs to Holehouse’s 13. Fullerton gained its first win in the tournament in the second match with a 3-0 sweep over the Lafayette College Leopards. The Titans led the whole way in the first two sets, and it wasn’t until the third set of the match when the Leopards capitalized on the Titans’ errors. However, Fullerton was still able to pull out the win at 26-23. Kerins’ six kills trailed behind both Schneider (14) and Fezzey (10), but she had the highest overall kill percentage at .545 in the match, increasing the team’s overall kill percentage to .347. In their third match of the tournament, Fullerton took its second loss, a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Eastern Michigan Eagles. The Titans won the first set over the Eagles 25-15. However, after evening the score in the remaining three sets, they were not able to regain the rhythm they started with and lost each one. Overall, Costello led the Titans with 27 digs which gave the team 66 digs compared to

the Eagles 60. Aniya Henry took the top spot in kill percentage for Fullerton at .500 and Nastassja Bowman followed behind with .250. CSUF rebounded from the prior loss with a 3-1 win over the Quinnipiac University Bobcats. Fullerton endured another intense first set consisting of multiple ties and a frenzied comeback. When seven consecutive points were awarded to the Bobcats to give them a 2319 advantage, the Titans quickly turned it around with a kill from Fayad to bring back the team’s momentum and win the set 28-26. After dominating the second set 25-20, the Titans fell short by three in the third set as an attacking error gave the Bobcats the win, 25-22. In the final set, Fullerton led the scoreboard after a service error from the Bobcats broke the 9-9 tie. The Titans followed up their luck and finished every opportunity they were given to end the match, 25-20. Once again, Schneider led the Titans in kills at 15 for the match and also led the team in attack percentage with .406. Fullerton will travel again on Friday to face off in the Indiana State Tournament before taking on its Big West competitors as conference play begins.
