As the White House’s elimination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program left many Cal State Fullerton students in limbo Tuesday, campus organizations and faculty scramble to assuage fears following CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White’s revelation that DACA recipients employed by the university will be let go as soon as March 2018.

“To our wonderful CSU employees impacted by this revocation, I am troubled and dismayed,” White said in a written response to the White House’s decision. “If (members of Congress) fail to act timely, regretfully,

This DACA student was one of many present at a special meeting held at the Titan Dreamers Resource Center, facilitated in part by CSUF Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and attended momentarily

by CSUF President Mildred Garcia in solidarity.

“The call to support these students is not new, and I am proud that we at Cal State Fullerton have a long history of answering it,” Garcia wrote in an email Tuesday.

“Today, we build upon that

legacy by standing in solidarity with DACA students on our campus and across the system.”

CAPS counseling intern Kimberly Rios appeared halfway through the meeting, but not by CAPS’s request. “(CAPS) hasn’t told us specifically to go and do any of this,” Rios said. “They just told us to be available ...

I know that as of now, we’re giving (DACA students) priority to let them come in as walk-ins.”

Cal State Fullerton, sponsored by the President’s Commission on Equity and Inclusion, held a new series of civil dialogues in the Pollak Library Tuesday.

Hosted by Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, Ph.D., the seminar featured five participants representing viewpoints ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree on President Trump’s immigration travel ban, an executive order originally issued in January. Since then, the order has been blocked by appellate courts, revised, partially reinstated and is now currently set to be reviewed by the

Supreme Court in October.

Students led the core dialogue by responding to the statement “the travel ban is beneficial to the national security of the United States” by sharing where they stood on the issue, followed by

The sides that agreed argued that the legislative process will keep the ban from targeting Muslim people, while the neutral chair said there may be fair checks but the ban is targeting people based on religion and race. The sides that disagreed claimed that there are already

“The actual law is not about banning, it’s about giving time to the administration to look into the background of the people that are asking for the visa to make sure they are not a threat to the security of this country,” said Bazargan, who is originally from Iran, one of the countries listed on

the ban.

On the opposite end, Isaiah Salgado, sitting in the strongly disagree seat, spoke about a lack of trust in the Trump administration due to its history of bias against marginalized people.

“Asking for more time is asking us to trust in Trump and that’s an illogical thing at this point, to trust in Trump that he’s going to figure this out and do the right thing,” Salgado said.

Suwinyattichaiporn proposed the series of civil dialogue events to the President’s Committee on Equity and Inclusion as a way to celebrate diverse viewpoints on campus, with two more events scheduled to take place this semester.

The second civil dialogue event will take place Oct. 10 in Pollak Library and will focus on bathroom laws.

“We’ve been gathering letters, and phone-calling and putting together events so that we can reach out to our congresspeople and urge them that it’s really important to support our DACA students here at Cal State Fullerton,” said ASI chief governmental officer Saba Ansari. “We have over 800 (DACA) students. We’re going to be organizing more events in the future.”

ASI adopted a resolution in support of undocumented and DACA students May 9.

“There’s a number of things written out on the resolution that the board of directors are supposed to do in order to protect their students,” Ansari said. “Things like starting a scholarship for DACA students and publicly supporting DACA, but also urging the university and our other campus relationships that they also support our students and our campus.”

A look ahead Trump said in his statement that an orderly transition and wind down of DACA will begin with “minimum disruption.”

Trump advised the Department of Homeland Security to not prioritize enforcement on DACA recipients unless they “are criminals, are involved in criminal activity, or are members of a gang,” according to his official statement.

“Before we ask what is fair to illegal immigrants, we must also ask what is fair to American families, students, taxpayers and jobseekers,” Trump wrote.

Regardless of the Tuesday decision, Pollak Library Dean Clem Guthro said the plans to move the Titan Dreamers Resource Center to a “very prominent place” on the first floor have not changed.

“There’ll be new space for them,” Guthro said. “They’ll be moving them with the rest of the cultural centers all in one sort of space.”

Two students shared an emotional embrace above messages like “You belong here” and “Humanity united,” which were etched into the quad’s sidewalks with chalk.

“There was an outcry from our undocumented students on campus that this was affecting them,” said SQE member Rebecca Hesgard. “So we came out to show our support.”

SQE members also took part in a massive march that was organized by Orange County Immigrant Youth United in Santa Ana to denounce the DACA decision.

Students for Quality Education showed their support for DACA recipients both on and off-campus demonstrations. ASI, CSUF faculty and President Mildred Garcia also showed their support by visiting the Titan Dreamers Resource Center Tuesday.

Guthro said he shares in the feeling of vulnerability affected students may have.

“I myself am an immigrant to this country,” Guthro said. “So any time we deal with immigration of any sort, that always makes people feel unsettled and I can only barely imagine what these students are going through.”

The anonymous DACA student who spoke to the Daily Titan echoed that sentiment. “(DACA is) like our last stride. We’ve had it,” she said. “And we’re gonna get mad, but I’m hopeful that something better will come out of this. I’m hopeful that the elected officials do their part and bring comprehensive immigration reform for all of us, because we have parents. We have cousins.

We have little siblings ... I find strength there.”

“At least you have a new partner on campus to help you when you have issues that come up within your organization and you’re like, ‘How did you address this when you had this event going on?’” Kienzler said.

Unique narratives and gameplay carry video games into the future.

KYLE BENDER Daily Titan An unlikely crew of adventurers wandered through the decrepit ruins of a church. Reynauld, the lead crusader, welcomed the bounty hunter, grave robber and arbalest as they sought to strike the fortuitous necromancer attacking their estate. Little did he know that he would crawl out alone, attempting to cope with the horror of fleeing his undead comrades.

This story is one of many created by a procedurally-generated formula in “Darkest Dungeon,” an ind e p e n d e n t ly- d eve l o p e d strategy game made by a team of eight hard-working individuals. It only represents a sliver of emerging storytelling and gameplay today.

Video games are arguably the most versatile and rapidly growing form of entertainment around, and it would be nearly impossible to adequately summarize the extensive list of the wonderful medium’s merits. Instead, I’m going to delve into what makes them unique and important going forward in the world of media.

In a saturated market of superhero blockbusters and

dragon-driven soap operas, it’s easy to sink into a state of sedentary viewing in which audiences are simply being spoon fed their stories and action of choice. The most active thing a viewer can do in these scenarios is speculate.

Conversely, many video games allow players to have almost absolute control. Even with the inherent limitations within a given game, players still have infinitely more agency than a movie or television audience does. Plot points in games like “Mass Effect” can branch off and change as a player makes decisions for the avatar they created, cultivating a stronger, more empathetic attachment to characters in the fiction.

The flexible nature of video game narratives is paramount to their role in shaping future entertainment experiences. A story of struggle and heartbreak is told in the indie darling “Hyper Light Drifter” through difficulties, combat and absolutely no dialogue, as a lone swordsman wanders a pixelated, neon wasteland searching for a cure for what seems like a terminal illness.

New and innovative ways of telling stories like this are abundant throughout the industry, some even leave the storytelling to algorithms or randomly generated scenarios that create tales on par with or better than the standard crime or sci-fi drama.

I’ve found that as I experience more varied deliveries of otherwise standard stories, it becomes increasingly more difficult to return to traditional mediums like television and cinema. With virtual reality rapidly becoming more accessible to

“Hyper Light Drifter” puts players in the shoes of a wandering swordsman who is fighting for a cure for his terminal illness. The protagonist’s struggle is based on the experiences of the lead developer, Alex Preston. This is one of many examples of new emergent games in the industry.

consumers and lucrative to developers, I’m thrilled to see what’s to come.

Beyond that, games of all genres often facilitate long-lasting relationships among avid fans. Competitive arena, fighting and first-person shooter games have given hard-working, experienced players a chance to make a profitable career out of countless hours of practice.

Artwalk: Diverse local art showcased CONTINUED FROM

“Touching From A Distance” was another exhibit at the event being showcased until Oct. 15. The theater-like interpretive video visits the “Plaza de la Liberación” in Jalisco, Mexico and shows people dramatically protesting for more public funds. The creative minds behind the video are multidisciplinary artists, Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere.

Nannery earned his bachelor’s degree of fine arts in printmaking back in 2011 from Herron School of Art & Design in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he also received the Menz Award. In 2014, Nannery finished his master’s degree of fine arts in printmaking from California State University, Long Beach.

“The Artwalk in Santa Ana is always great to be a part of just because there’s so many different kinds of people coming through this space all in just one evening,” Nannery said. “I just get to be around all kinds of people and share all the ideas that I’m really interested in with them.”

The cultural atmosphere and uniqueness among the different kinds of artists is something Nannery finds truly fascinating.

“You see a wide diversity of different kinds of styles represented both here at Grand Central Art Center and just throughout Santa Ana in general,” Nannery said. “I think people going to the Artwalk (are) going to experience diverse art forms and all different kinds of artworks.”

As esports makes their way further into the mainstream, amassing communities and fans of teams as passionate as those in long-standing sports, it’s important to keep in mind that competition isn’t the only thing that thrives in the video game industry.

Single-player action games often lead to a thriving community of players called speedrunners who try

to complete the game as fast as possible. Speedrunners share strategies and bugs they’ve uncovered to exploit to improve their times.

After similar quantities of practice, speedrunners and spectators come together a few times a year for livestreamed charity events like Games Done Quick.

That’s not to say that cinema and television lack similar communities. Cult

classics and long-running shows are often treated like gospel by zealous fans, but it feels like video games are on their way to overtaking the entertainment industry.

All things considered, maybe it’s time that we stop comparing video games to movies and television. Instead, let’s talk about them like the interactive powerhouse they are.

Icela Bravo, an independent artist from Los Angeles, believes it is valuable to be able to interact with admirers of her works.

Talking with the people who view Bravo’s art helps her grow as an artist.

“It is wonderful to be here because when you see the reaction from the people, then you value your work more,” Bravo said. “People are happy to at least see the work. Not everybody buys it, but there’s a lot of people that give very good feedback.”

Abram Moya Jr. is an artist and CSUF alumnus who has been apart of the Artwalk since it started in the ‘80s. In recent years, Moya Jr. said he has noticed an unfortunate shift from progressive to commercial artwork being showcased.

However, he likes how some of the artwork being

exhibited calls attention to immigration.

“Some of the art’s subject matter (like immigration) needs to be as it is, controversial, so it gets people’s minds thinking,” Moya Jr. said.

The director of Grand Central Art Center, John Spiak, was happy with the overall turnout.

“It’s already great,” Spiak said. “I mean, it’s only been opened maybe an hour, and there’s tons of people here, and they seem to be excited and they have good energy.”

When it comes to art, open-mindedness is the key to showing appreciation toward other talents, Spiak said.

“It’s the openness of the audience,” Spiak said. “The audience comes in willing to engage with anything that we put up at Grand Central because we try to do work that’s relevant to what’s going on in society and going on in our community.”

6 OPINION Trump’s DACA decision decimates Dreamers

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2017

President shows true colors and they are not red, white and blue.

RICK PINION Daily Titan The terminating of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals proves President Donald Trump’s blatant disapproval of America’s marginalized communities.

Since Donald Trump entered office, he has instilled fear in the lives of immigrant parents and children by constantly promising the general public that he would implement strong immigration laws and an even stronger wall.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration decided to rescind DACA to avoid lawsuits from 10 attorney generals, according to a written statement from Trump.

Trump claims that the Obama program that was signed into law in 2012 is unconstitutional but really, this act is a frivolous excuse to stay on the good side of Republicans and further shows that he has no concern for the working immigrants who call this country home.

“Officials from 10 States are suing over the program, requiring my Administration to make a decision regarding its legality,” Trump wrote.

Maybe he thought he didn’t have many options, but the other choice was to fight for the recipients of DACA called Dreamers

HANNAH MILLER / DAILY TITAN

With President Donald Trump’s new and abhorrent order, it’s clear that his concerns do not lie with minorities that have made a home in America. Instead of working out the problems, Trump continues to haphazardly ruin the lives of the people that have made this country what it is today.

instead of handing them off to Congress to deal with for six months.

If the program was truly unconstitutional, it should have been a matter of properly handling paperwork, not cutting down on the lives of those who rely on it.

Nearly 800,000 recipients are now faced with the

question of whether or not they will be sent to countries they may have never visited.

Not only do the Dreamers rely on the DACA program, but the American economy does as well.

With about 700,000 DACA recipients set to lose their jobs, employers are

looking at $6.3 billion in employee turnover costs, and the country is facing a loss of $460.3 billion in economic output over the next 10 years, according to Business Insider.

This ignorant move from the administration only proves what the marginalized communities living in

the United States already had in mind: That he does not stand up for the people who do not want him as president, despite continuing to state that he does.

“I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. But we must also recognize that

we are nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws,” Trump wrote.

Sounds like false words said to protect a losing man.

With a historic low approval rating of 37.8 percent, Trump isn’t doing himself any favors by rescinding DACA and pandering to his small group of supporters.

Run into a healthier lifestyle with the help of CSUF Campus resources can help anyone kick unhealthy habits.

SOPHIA ACEVEDO Daily Titan After a long day of jotting down notes during class, suffering through customers at work and dealing with the other random absurdities of life, the last thing anyone wants to do is eat a salad or run a few miles.

However, students need to put time aside to better their habits if they want to live healthier, less sedentary lives, and there’s no better time to start than now.

There is a reason the freshman 15 exists, and it’s all too easy to fall into an unhealthy lifestyle especially with the stress of school and work.

But thankfully, CSUF has great resources available for anyone willing to drop that package of Takis and pick up some carrot sticks instead.

“College students are challenged with the skill that are required to balance life and to make an active lifestyle a priority,” said CSUF public health and health education professor Laura Chandler.

According to the

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @DTOPINIONDESK

American College Health Association in the California State University Fullerton Executive Summary of spring 2016, only 2.9 percent of students reported that they ate five or more servings of vegetables per day.

In terms of exercise, the numbers weren’t any better.

The report stated that only 13 percent of students have done at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5-7 days out of the week.

When students do make efforts to improve their eating or exercise habits, they often get reeled in by fads and trends that aren’t based on science. Victims of a gluten-free, Atkins or low-fat diet serve as prime examples.

Rather than falling prey to the latest trends, students

should make an effort to take control of their eating and exercise habits now to make for a healthier long-term solution.

With the many resources available on campus, it’s not as hard as it seems to start a healthy lifestyle right now.

Not only do students get a free membership to the Student Recreation Center, but there are exercise classes offered by the kinesiology department.

“I strongly recommend every student to sign up for a one unit activity class,” Chandler said. “It breaks up your day. It will keep you active. You have to go. It keeps you motivated.”

Students with gym anxiety may beg to differ and may not be eager to work out in front of others in a class

or while at the gym.

“There are so many fun different types of activities that you don’t have to be an athlete to get involved with,” Chandler said. “Find something that works for you even if it’s pingpong or frisbee or volleyball or tennis or walking.”

Students who attended Discoverfest last week might have noticed all the different activity clubs there are on campus, which are most likely still accepting new members. Unlike going to the gym alone or attending a class, this route allows just as much exercising as socializing, giving students a support group of people who have fun together by being active.

For those who prefer to be active outside rather than in

a gym, the Fullerton Arboretum provides a nice little nature walk and yoga classes.

Don’t worry about missing out on opportunities like Discoverfest, FOODucation workshops are available weekly around Fullerton and students can sign up online.

College students’ health won’t improve by continuing to live sedentary lifestyles filled with poor eating choices. Taking advantage of the many opportunities offered on campus can steadily improve eating and exercise habits.

It won’t be easy and at times it might not be the most fun option, but learning to live an active lifestyle can prevent students from permanently becoming part of the couch they sit on all day.

ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

Your strategizing is over; it’s now time to put your thoughts into action. However, it’s crucial to unfold your plan step by step, precisely as envisioned. But once you start, you may grow so excited that you’re tempted to race ahead, improvising as you go.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Maintaining the depth of a primary intimate relationship is rather tricky when you’re trying to balance your one-on-one connections with your place in your community.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

Let your intuition, not your reason, be your guide today. But trusting your instincts doesn’t mean you can skip out on your worldly obligations as the Pisces Full Moon shines in your 10th House of Public Responsibility.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

You’re being asked to reach further than ever in your quest for meaning.

But exploring new possibilities at home or at work doesn’t negate your need for emotional security. Extend your vision beyond your mundane concerns.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

You have choices to make that will determine the tone of your life for the next couple of weeks. No longer must you demonstrate your dominance in the outer world.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

Although you are determined to execute your agenda exactly as you imagined it, you are likely to run into complications. It might seem as if people are derailing your plans on purpose but you may be the real cause.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

You wish that your unfinished chores would somehow tie up their own loose ends today, so you didn’t have to worry about them anymore. In fact, you might find it difficult to concentrate on your job while the Pisces Full Moon fogs your 6th House of Logistics.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Romantic fantasies may be the source of sweet enchantments or fearful visions. You can dream of idealistic futures while the psychic Pisces Full Moon shadows your 5th House of Love and Creativity.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

Although you Archers are known to travel the world in search of adventure, you might be happily surprised to find your next destination close to home.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

No matter how compelling your goals are, you might let them slide for a day or two while you explore less practical matters. The Pisces Full Moon shimmers in your 3rd House of Distractions, temporarily luring you away from your chosen path. © thewordse

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Uncertainty about money matters adds to the complexity of a relationship, especially if the consequences of a current decision affect someone else, too. It’s not easy to reconcile the actual dynamics with your dreams

PISCES

(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)

It seems like everyone is on your case, telling you to be more practical in your thinking. But you’re unwilling to acknowledge that your dreams are an escape from reality.

8 SPORTS Cross Country: CSUF starts year strong

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2017

CONTINUED FROM

1

“I’m really happy with our teams,” Titans Head Coach John Elders told Cal State Fullerton Sports Media. “They opened the year up really strong, and we’re

excited to get the wins on both sides. It’s the first step of many to prepare for championship season but that’s definitely a positive way to get things going.” It will be Elders’ 30th year as head coach for cross

country and he doubles as CSUF’s women’s indoor track and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field coach.

CSUF’s results already display growth from last season. Though the women

placed first in the 2016 Mark Covert Invitational, the team still improved by three points. The men advanced by 19 points from last season’s second-place score of 30.

In the 2016 NCAA

Regionals, both teams placed 15th. The men finished with a score of 428 and women with a score of 477.

This season, the women’s team is mostly a veteran squad with just two freshmen on the 13-person

roster. On the other hand, the men’s squad is relatively new with five freshman on the team.

The Titans will compete at the UC Riverside Invitational at UCR Ag/Ops Course Sept. 16 at 7:30 a.m.

Titan athletes shine early in season

Several CSUF athletes are near the top of the Big West leaderboards.

KATHRYNE PADILLA Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s soccer teams have had mixed results to start the season, but each team has had a few standout performances so far this year.

Volleyball The Titans have played two tournaments to begin their season. They’ve mostly struggled to hold an overall record of 2-4, but there have still been a few bright spots.

Currently, CSUF’s top three overall scorers include outside hitter Madeline Schneider (98.5 points), middle blocker Summer Kerins (51.5 points) and outside hitter Shimen Fayad (44.5 points).

Schneider leads Fullerton in kills and ranks third in the Big West with a total of 87. Fayad is next with 41 kills and Kerins ranks third with 39.

Libero Savahna Costello dominates the Titans in digs and ranks fourth in the Big West with 98, while averaging 4.45 digs per set.

Men’s Soccer The Titans, 2-2 overall, have three of their key athletes tied

for the top spot as leading scorer. Forward Samuel Goni, and midfielders Mark Hernandez and Ross McPhie each have one goal and are in a 20-way tie for seventh place in the Big West.

Forward Bass Sarr leads the team with eight shots, which ranks him fourth in the Big West. Freshman Alex Juarez trails by one with seven shots, which ranks him second on the team.

The Titans have also been stout in net, with goalkeeper Paul-Andre Guerin posting two shutouts in three appearances this season.

Women’s Soccer Fullerton suffered a devastating end to their undefeated record and are now 3-1-2, but have still had far more positives than negatives so far.

The top scorer for the Titans, forward Atlanta Primus, leads the team with four goals and is tied for first in goals in the Big West.

Forward Sarah Fajnor follows close behind with two goals, but leads Fullerton with a total of 17 shots and is ranked fourth in the Big West in shot attempts. Midfielder Samantha Koemans trails Fajnor with 15 shots, and Primus ranks third on the team with 12.

In six starting appearances, goalkeeper Morgan Bertsch has completed two shutout games and has 14 saves with a .737 save percentage.

BAILEY CARPENTER / DAILY TITAN

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer will face the Utah Valley Wolverines at 7:30 p.m. at Titan Stadium in a doubleheader with women’s soccer as they go against the Iowa State Cyclones at 5p.m.
