Women march for respect and equality Protestors promote civil rights and denounce the Trump administration. BRIGGETTA PIERROT Senior Editor

The third annual Women’s March, a worldwide protest which first started in 2017 and occured the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, rumbled down the streets of Los Angeles and Santa Ana on Saturday. Women, children and families took to the sunny Southern California streets to voice their support for equality and their frustration with the current administration through chants and creative, colorful signs. Orange County In Orange County, an indigenous Aztec-Mayan woman named Maria Isabel Castillo danced her way through throngs of people. She followed the heartbeat rhythm of the drum which, along with the crowd’s chants of empowerment and equality, guided the third annual OC Women’s March through the streets of downtown Santa Ana on Saturday. Castillo, who attended on behalf of the Service Employees International Union’s western chapter, said she has been a part of the Women’s March for the past three years and dances at

the event to represent her Mexican heritage and promote indigenous women’s rights. For the second year in a row, indigenous women were invited to lead the OC Women’s March. Michelle Castillo and Lupe Lopez-Donaghey, co-founders of the OC Native Voices coalition, hosted the OC Indigenous

Women’s March, which is considered to be a “march within a march.” “When you think of Orange County, you don’t think of indigenous people,” said Michelle Castillo. “A lot of people do not know the real history of Orange County and I feel like it’s so very important to show up to these marches because we’re

not invisible.” Among the 15,000 people who participated in the march, Carla Seals, a student from San Bernardino, said she attended the march to empower friends and family but also to show support for Planned Parenthood, whose services she’s used in the past. Members of the Women’s

Journey Foundation, a non-profit organization which celebrates past women’s achievements and seeks to inspire a new generation of women, donned suffragette outfits and dressed as historically significant women such as Amelia Earhart and Margaret Fuller. SEE RALLY 2

The chants of “Sí se puede!” rang through the streets of Long Beach as people of all ages, races and religions came together for the 31st annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade and Celebration to celebrate King’s life and recognize his impact on society.

The festivities kicked off Saturday with a parade that started on the corner of Anaheim Street, and ended at Martin Luther King Jr. Park on Lemon Avenue. Bands from various Long Beach high schools marched to the beat of the drum as cheerleaders and color guard teams accompanied dance routines. “That’s what makes (the event) so wonderful because here, you will never see more diversity in any other parade all over the country, where every nationality you can think about is in this little big city,” said Dee Andrews,

Long Beach vice mayor. Among the groups parading were the Long Beach Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. Members held a banner displaying a fist in the air surrounded by the words “community and power” in English, Spanish and Tagalog. “This is where all the community, all nationalities come together,” Andrews said. The African American Heritage Society of Long Beach held a booth that educated people on African history to spread awareness of African-Americans’

contributions to society. The group’s mission is to preserve the history and add resources to public libraries, according to Nicole Ballard, the society’s president. Martin Luther King Jr. Day didn’t become a national holiday until Nov. 2, 1983, when President Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law. The holiday is now observed on the third Monday of every January, close to King’s birthday on Jan.15. King would have turned 90 years old Jan.15. SEE UNITY

On Thursday, Jan. 10, Cal State Fullerton’s Associated Students, Inc. announced that Joshua Borjas, their president and CEO, resigned and would be replaced by Ana Aldazabal, the vice president. Borjas resigned for academic reasons and stepped down before spring of 2019. “It’s important for people to understand that the ASI president is a student leadership position. Student first.” Borjas said. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable trying to stay in the position knowing that I didn’t serve my central duty as a student. How am I supposed to serve my students if I’m not doing well myself?” His replacement, Aldazabal, will be in charge of finding a new vice president. The question over who will become the next ASI Vice President is still being discussed among several ASI executives, including: Kaetlyn Hernandez, chief communications officer, Rebecca Hesgard, chief campus relations officer and Meghan Waymire, chief governmental officer. Together, they said they hope to fill the post quickly. The vacancy was posted on Instagram. Once the applicants are interviewed, a candidate will be chosen and then be evaluated and confirmed by the Board of Directors. SEE VACATES

Women, men and children take to the streets of Orange County. CONTINUED FROM 1 “I’ve always been an advocate for women’s rights, for women’s empowerment, and the way that we become empowered is through understanding our history,” said Justine Arian-Edwards, a member of the Women’s Journey Foundation Board of Directors. Before the march began, Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers of America with Cesar Chavez, called on the crowd to support efforts that bring awareness to workers rights and praised the teachers on strike in Los Angeles. “We are marching for the future of our children and we are marching for the future of the United States of America,” Huerta said. “We know that when women march, people win.” While participants represented and supported causes ranging from LGBTQ rights to labor unions, they shared the common goal of promoting equality and women’s rights. “This woman energy and everything that comes with being a woman, it’s very powerful, and I think we’re at a time now where we’re standing up and we are honoring our power,” said Michelle Castillo. “We’re not ashamed of it anymore.”

Over 200,000 women and supporters flooded Pershing Square to commence the 2019 Women’s March in Los Angeles. Demonstrators expressed the need for increasing equality for women, the LGBTQ community, teachers of the Los Angeles school district and historically marginalized communities through picket signs and loud chants. The march came after a record number of diverse women were elected to office, a number that many Women’s March speakers attributed to the annual protests. “In November we made our voices heard big time. In state after state, we threw the bums out and sent record numbers of women to Congress: young women, old women, diverse women, queer women, strong women,” said Lorri Jean, chief executive officer of the Los Angeles LGBT Center. Patti Giggans, executive director of Peace Over Violence, a Los Angeles nonprofit dedicated to serve survivors of abuse and violence, said the marches that encouraged individuals to “speak truth to power” aided in electing 126 women to office in the midterm elections. “We gathered here last year and the year before and we spoke truth to power then. We spoke loudly, thunderously; our outside voices and our inside voices have become one,” Giggans said.

Still, many participants conveyed a continued disappointment with the U.S. administration, bringing up the government shutdown, the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh and the continued distaste for Trump. “We march to express our anger. Anger at political and corporate leaders who disrespect and demean and assault us. We march to express our solidarity. To demand that women be treated not only with equality but with dignity and respect,” Jean said. Jean encouraged the crowd to continue holding elected leaders accountable and to continue making their voices heard. “We know much work remains to be done as long as any president or elected leader or any political party believes that they can implement policies that discriminate against us. We must keep fighting,” Jean said. Although the 2019 Women’s March in Los Angeles did not reach the 750,000 participants it did in the previous year, according to NBC, attendees remained encouraged. “It’s easy to feel jaded and it’s easy to say that the numbers are diminishing. I think people are finding important ways to show up in consistent everyday ways in their life,” said Mary Kenny, a 31-year-old Los Angeles local.

Cal State Fullerton’s President Framroze Virjee has finished the first year of his 18 month tenure, bringing new developments in a short time. When President Virjee was appointed at the beginning of last year, he said he had to start working fast if he wanted to make positive changes at CSUF. “When I came, I knew I had 18 months to work and do things. I had to look within that time frame. What I said to everyone when I got here is, ‘There’s already so much momentum; there’s already so many great things going on here,’” Virjee said. “And if I can leave this place a better place than when I found it, that’s my goal.” Virjee has overseen the groundwork for physical changes to the campus in his first year of supervision alone. He has overseen the addition of Club 57, the grand reopening of the Pollak Library and reconstruction of the Promenade. The effort to complete the construction of these areas was a priority shared by Virjee and his staff to further student and faculty comradery and academic development. The reopening of the library in August last year was widely celebrated and plans to begin remodeling the fourth and fifth floors of the south tower are set for fall of this year. “The library is the center of academic pursuit for us and it should be a place where people want to go, want to be, want to hang out and want to study,” Virjee said. “I’m really excited about the fact that we’ll have a fully functioning library where we’re going to increase the number of seats by probably a thousand. That was a really good and big accomplishment, as far as I’m concerned.” Construction in the Quad and Promenade area also began this past semester.

Vacates: ASI Vice President to take over CONTINUED FROM 1 “It should be ASI’s top priority. The last time I talked to ASI leaders and professional staff, it should be filled as soon as we can. Applications are out, and I imagine a vice president will be selected before mid-February,” Borjas said. Despite his stepping down, both Borjas and Aldazabal wanted to make it clear that their long term goals for the spring semester have not been changed or derailed. The goal for a new vice president would be to find someone who shares their goals. “We plan on picking someone that can share our vision. We plan on executing the same things we were doing in the fall [into] the spring, making them better and sticking with the goal of really being here for historically marginalized communities, bringing more diversity into ASI and being more inclusive.” Aldazabal said. Borjas talked about how much positive student reaction ASI had seen on campus. “We’re doing a great job with engaging and connecting with people, from word of mouth, we’ve heard a lot of students really enjoyed this year in ASI,” Borjas said. Borjas has served on ASI for the last year and a half. He

originally was a representative from the College of Communications on the Executive Board before running to be ASI President of the 2018-2019 academic year. After the disqualification of Celine Moubayed and Colin Eacobellis for breaking organization bylaws, Borjas and Aldazabal were elected by 60 percent of the vote. “I have such a love and respect for Josh as an ASI president. He and Ana came in on a platform and basically they’ve set so many things in motion, that Ana will be able to fulfill,” said Keya Allen, ASI’s Associate Executive Director. “Ana will be able to keep the machine rolling. She’s in it now, and she’s been by his side the whole time, so there’s really no big transition there.” Aldazabal reiterated her goal to host a second Town Hall meeting, as well as multiple round table meetings with different organizations on campus, allowing students from different walks of life to communicate their views. Along with implementing those events, Aldazabal said she wants to implement solutions for issues that students brought up during last semester’s round table meetings as well as further serve and listen to underrepresented communities on

to be here for the students and to make sure that we’re making the students’ lives better, and providing them more resources,” Aldazabal said.

Success: Virjee strives for changes 2 Despite construction posing an inconvenience to student mobility and programmed events, the project is anticipated to be completed later this year as one of the largest aesthetic changes to the campus. “I am so confident that this is going to be an iconic piece of creating a feeling of renewal and pride for our campus,” Virjee said. “We’re going to redo the whole Quad to make it much more functional for everyone. It’s going to be a real source of pride, so I’m excited about that as well.” Virjee’s first year of presidency can also be marked by the academic successes of the student body. In the past year, CSUF has seen a rise in graduation rates and a decrease in the equity gap for transfer students and incoming freshman. In the last year, the graduation rates for minorities has also increased. CSUF is currently first in the CSU system for graduating women and third in the state for graduating Hispanic students. Among these statistics, CSUF now has nearly 57 percent of students that are first generation college attendees. “We’re a fully inclusive and diverse university that’s improving our graduation rates and at the same time, committed to academic rigor. On the academic side, we’re blowing the doors out,” Virjee said. CSUF also saw the largest graduating class in its history last year with approximately 12,200 student graduates. This achievement marks CONTINUED FROM

progress under one of the initiatives for CSUF leadership: Graduation Initiative 2025, which plans to double graduation rates for students by the end of the year 2025. With high rates from the past year, Virjee said he is confident that CSUF is on its way to

achieving this goal. While Virjee has only started his second year as president, he has had extensive experience both in law and as an executive Vice Chancellor and general counsel for the CSU Board of Trustees. These experiences shaped his

leadership ability as well as his vision for the campus over the next year by motivating him to re-evaluate CSUF norms and policies. “I was a lawyer. I never in a million years thought about being a university president,” Virjee said. “I feel blessed because

I can bring an outsider’s perspective or maybe a different perspective.” Virjee has also worked to further CSUF’s financial security with maintaining positive relations with donors and alumni. Under Virjee, Carlos Lejia was picked to lead the College and Program Development department under University Advancement, who is set to be a part of Virjee’s philanthropic campaign which will begin this year which aims to raise 175 million dollars over the next seven years. “And this isn’t just about raising money. It’s about friend-raising as much as fundraising. It’s about creating a sense in the community that CSUF is worth investing in — that our students are worth investing in.” Virjee said. The renovation of the campus, as well as the improvements of student academics and national rankings, were among the start of Virjee’s goals for CSUF. He wants to continue that momentum by implementing plans for renovations in McCarthy Hall, student housing, the addition of a new parking structure and the reincorporation of the Arboretum. Virjee said he hopes CSUF can continue to be one of the leading universities in student success under his supervision, and for the years that follow. “We are the tip of the spear that needs to move forward. We are what Orange County will be tomorrow, what California will be next week and what our nation will be next month,” Virjee said.

CONTINUED FROM 1 “This is about the doctor, the one who died and lived for unity, equality and justice for all,” said Andrews. As part of the festivities, there was a variety of food trucks, venders and musical performances. Compton native, DJ Quik, played a mix of ‘80s and ‘90s hits that brought a crowd of old schoolers to the dance floor. Tatiana Tate played the trumpet accompanied by her quartet and the Long Beach City College Jazz ensemble performed a collection of eclectic harmony. Shy But Flyy and the Allstarz brought the heat as they headlined the stage with an hour-long performance

of blues, rock and soul music. Andrews emphasized that it took a lot of work to put the event together, but with help from the community, they were prepared — even for rain. “It always rains before, but never on, my parade,” said Andrews. Despite the influx of rain over the last week, not a cloud was in sight on Saturday. Peter Mathews, a political science professor at Long Beach City College, said he would like to see “Dr. King’s vision and dream of social justice, fairness and equality of opportunity implemented.”

Isaac Brailsford, a parade attendee, agreed with the sentiment of treating everybody as equals and said, “That’s how we need to live our lives today.” Jorge Murillo, who represented the Party for Socialism and Liberation, said he hoped to continue the struggle for equal rights and King’s legacy of peace, education, self-empowerment, self-determination and democracy. “Dr. King fought for the lowest, the poorest people,” said Mathews. “I believe social justice has to include economic justice, environmental justice, gender justice and so many other aspects of fairness.”

Being a transfer student can be exciting but the transition can be stressful. JULIAN SERRANO

Asst. Multimedia Editor

At the age of 17 I began my first semester at Mt. San Antonio College. I recall feeling overwhelmed yet excited as I began a new chapter of my life. High school was in the books and the transition to the community college was underway. It was a bitter beginning, but as the semester progressed, so did my adjustment. Fast forward two years and the jump from Mt. SAC to Cal State Fullerton finally arrived, mirroring the transition from high school to college. The same emotions were rekindled, but this time I had my experience from Mt. SAC to ease the transition to CSUF. Settling all the paperwork was chaos — from financial aid, to admissions and records — making the transition a bit tedious. Nonetheless, walking the campus has been quite rewarding. I have taken time to appreciate my efforts, realizing that those endless nights of studying VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

during community college were worth every second. Of course, the campus has its upper edge compared to the community college, but CSUF

won’t ever take away from the memories made on Mt. SAC’s campus. The people and the classes are just a few of the many

aspects that I miss as I begin my time at CSUF. As I move forward, my new journey at CSUF I will bring the same emotions that I felt at Mt. SAC to this new

experience. For me, this change will take some getting used to, but as the semester unfolds I’m sure the transition will become easier. I’ll no longer feel intimidated by the size of the campus nor overwhelmed by the hundreds of opportunities that are offered here. Rather, I will be a part of these opportunities and embrace every second of them. Leaving the school I attended for nearly three years of my life has been harder than I’d ever thought it would be. The connection that grows between the school and yourself becomes unbreakable even after your time is up. Regardless, the welcoming environment from the staff to the students has been remarkable and has been one of the reasons why I’m eager to begin my first semester as a Titan. A new journey is unraveling right before my eyes and now it’s solely in my hands which direction to take. From the first time I walked the campus of Mt. SAC to the first day I walked the campus of CSUF, I felt the emotions of a new beginning, but really my first stop of my education has been completed and my last stop is underway here at CSUF.

With a school record of $800,000 funds raised at the annual 2019 Dinner with the Titans fundraiser, the Titans baseball team began its season activities, welcoming former Titan, Jose Mota. With 400 guests attending the event at The City National Grove of Anaheim Saturday night, Mota took the stage to send a message to the current Titans team on the value of getting an education.

“To this team for 2019, you’re not wearing that uniform to be average — away with that. You’re wearing that uniform to excel,” Mota said. “When you get that degree and you have that piece of paper, it stays forever and no one can ever take it away from you. So kids please, school matters a whole lot, take it seriously.” The team wrapped up the 2018 season obtaining the baseball program’s 30th conference crown.

seasons in MLB playing for the San Diego Padres and the Kansas City Royals. Since 1997, Mota has worked as an MLB broadcaster and is currently a Fox Sports commentator for the Los Angeles Angels. Initially, Mota didn’t accept the invitation to join his fellow Titans, but then had a change of heart. “I was honored and privileged, but I know I stay in touch with so many people throughout the years in the program, I had done it before, but it meant a lot more because I knew we were also celebrating Auggie’s life,” Mota said. “What I take out of that is you’re always part of this family, it doesn’t matter where you live, what you hit, how much money you made. You come to an event like this and you feel like you never left.” Hundreds of CSUF alumni and potential donors were greeted by the 2019 CSUF baseball team as they entered the gates. The current Titan players

said they were overwhelmed to see the alumni come back and support them for the upcoming season. “It’s just cool to be able to see the alumni come back and it just kinda tells you how important this program is to people not only in a sense that it’s a tremendous baseball school,” pitcher Evan Larsen said. “It’s something more, it’s building life on friendships and it’s just cool to be able to see that.” The event also held a silent and live auction with items like jerseys signed by Yankees’ Aaron Judge and Oakland Athletics’ Matt Chapman. CSUF President Framroze Virjee also auctioned a dinner for 12 at his home with Titans head coach Rick Vanderhook working as a bartender or server. President Virjee’s dinner was sold for $4,000 while each jersey was sold for $1,000. The 1979 and 1984 national championship CSUF teams

were honored on stage by the current Titans roster and began to share the obstacles they needed to overcome to win. “This is my third dinner with the Titans and so far it’s great a lot of alumni come back,,” infielder Sahid Valenzuela said . “They’re out here just supporting us, helping us with whatever way they can, raising money for us. It’s awesome to see how many alumni are involved with the team and stuff.” The Titans will begin their season on Friday, Feb. 15 against Texas Christian University in the MLB Collegiate Tournament in Talking Stick, Arizona. “The only thing that our teams that I ever ask them to do is:Compete every day, every pitch, every inning,” Vanderhook said while on the podium. “That’s what you guys were taught, that’s what you were taught by Auggie.”

for the fourth time this season. They are 4-0 this year when making at least half of their attempts. Long Beach’s senior guard Deishuan Booker recorded a game-high 33 points, converting 12 of his 19 shot attempts. Booker also added three rebounds, five assists and five steals. Allman started the game aggressively, scoring seven of CSUF’s first nine points. Midway through the first half, the Titans defense held Long Beach scoreless for nearly three minutes, while going on a 9-0 run to give them a 23-13 lead. After the 49ers were able to cut the Titans lead to just two points, the Titans offense caught fire once again. They ended the first half sinking 10 of their last 11 attempts from the field, including a Jackson Rowe 3-pointer as the first-half buzzer sounded to give his team a 44-34 advantage. The Titans shot 60.7 percent in the first half, while the Beach shot 38.2 percent from the field. The 49ers opened the second half on a 15-7 run to even the game at 51, with just over

13 minutes left in the second half. Long Beach shot 50 percent from the field in the second half, while the Titans struggled and only shot 40 percent from the field. Booker gave the 49ers a 79-78 lead on a layup with 43 seconds remaining in regulation. CSUF evened the score at 79 when Jackson Rowe made one of two free throw attempts to force the game into overtime. The two teams traded baskets in the extra session but the Titans were able to gain the lead with 35 seconds left thanks to a tip-in by Johnny Wang. Long Beach kept the deficit at two points and forced a Titan turnover with eight seconds left to have a chance to tie or take the lead. However, the Cal State Fullerton defense was able to prevent Deishuan Booker from converting a lay-up to hold on for the victory. CSUF will return to Titan Gym Thursday at 7 p.m. to try and extend their two-game winning streak against first-place UC Santa Barbara.

Objectivity is elusive now, especially when you are surrounded by people or animal friends that by their very presence puts a smile on your face. Nothing is same-old, same-old when your mood is ebullient..

Venal demonstrates the adage that anything can be had if the price is high enough and the morals are low enough. It originated with the Latin venum, which simply referred to something that was sold or for sale.

CSUF holds Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to second loss

Women’s basketball propels past the Mustangs in 78-64 win. JULIUS CHOI Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball defeated Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 78-64 on Saturday to improve to 2-1 in Big West Conference play and 10-6 overall. “We battled hard,” Head Coach Jeff Harada said. “I’m proud of our kids for just fighting, for giving us everything that they had.” With their loss to the Titans, the Mustangs have dropped four of their last five games and are 1-6 on the road. CSUF’s defense limited the Mustangs to just 37.7 percent from the field compared to the Titans’ 53.7 percent. The team is 5-2 when making 45 percent or more of its shots this season. Four Titans reached double figures in scoring with three of them notching 15 or more points on the night. After a 24 point loss to UC Davis on Thursday night, the Titans set the tone on offense early versus Cal Poly on Saturday, going on an 8-2 run to begin the game. Center Daeja Smith made her presence felt as she scored eight points in the first quarter, making three of her four shot attempts. Smith finished with 19 points while securing 10 rebounds to record her fifth double-double of the season. However, Cal State Fullerton was down by two points after the first ten minutes of play. With nine players over six feet tall, the Mustangs used their height advantage to out rebound the Titans. Nine of Cal Poly’s 26 rebounds in the first half were

on the offensive end. Cal Poly had 43 rebounds as a team compared to the Titans’ 32. This allowed them to have more possession of the basketball, including the final basket of the first half as Mustangs point guard Dye Stahley made a jump shot to tie the game at 31. Despite heading to the locker room at halftime with the score tied, the Titans continued to be aggressive, starting the second half on a 12-4 run.

Senior guard Hannah Thompson pulled out of her offensive slump as she scored 11 points, including two consecutive three pointers that gave the Titans a 31-28 lead with 1:54 left to play in the first half. Thompson was responsible for three of Cal State Fullerton’s seven three pointers on the night and reached double digits in points for the first time since her 16-point performance on Dec. 22 versus the University of the

Pacific. “With Daeja’s presence, it opened the floor up a lot for our shooters. It’s easier to knock down when it’s a wide open shot and a good pass,” Thompson said. Cal Poly’s Devin Stanback, who leads the Mustangs in points per game this season, struggled to score five points on two-of-six shooting from the field. Amiee Book, who leads the

Big West in three point shooting percentage, continued to put her shooting from behind the arc on display, making two threes. Book finished with 15 points, converting 66.7 percent of her shots on the floor. She appreciates the trust that Harada has placed in her this early in her collegiate career. “We’ve always had that strong bond from the start ... I can’t wait to just keep building on it,” Book said.
