CSUF films active shooter training

University Police want to prepare students for emergencies with video.

Students and actors were heard yelling, “No, don’t go outside!” in the Mihaylo building on Sunday as part of a scene for an active shooter training video.

Cal State Fullerton and University Police have been in the process of filming a video to educate and train students and faculty in the case of an active shooter on campus.

“There are more active shooter incidents and emergencies in general. We felt, as well as the university felt, it would be impactful for something to be done specifically for our Cal State Fullerton family,” said Marissa Garza, public affairs communication specialist for the University Police.

The training was originally set to be filmed on Aug. 19, but was halted as officers responded to the stabbing death of former CSUF administrator Steven Chan in the College Park parking lot.

Unlike previous training videos that have been available through the university, the one in progress will be catered specifically for the CSUF community. University Police has contacted a professional videographer and production company specifically for the

video, according to University Police Chief Raymund Aguirre.

Aguirre said that as he searched for an active shooter training video, there were only one or two that he would hold as a standard. He wants students to see the video and feel familiar with it because the filming is directly on campus where students will be able to recognize the buildings and surroundings.

Aguirre also said the video will have a more personal feel because it follows a storyline, which emphasizes that a student needs to run, hide and fight in an active shooter situation.

The storyline will also allow people to follow along, although

the content itself is disturbing.

Aguirre said the content displays the reality of what could occur in any institution and the university has to prepare for it.

“It’s filmed at CSUF so our community can really identify to it and the locations that it’s shot at. We kind of make it our own,” said University Police Capt. Scot Willey.

Within recent years, police departments have been resorting to a single officer response to an active shooter, Willey said. Previously, officers would wait for backup before engaging with the shooter.

“It’s a mindset we have to have as police officers,” Willey said. “(We’re) everyone’s best bet.

(We’re) the one that have been trained, and armed and have the mindset to move towards the threat,” Garza said the video is not just specifically for active shooter incidents.

“The things you’re going to see in the film could help in different types of emergency situations that people could find themselves involved in,” Garza said.

experience,” Barillas said.

Dinner topics ranged from pets to professional advice. Dania Barajas, civil engineering major and president of CSUF’s Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, said, “What was really interesting was Silvia was more than happy to help out with some marketing tips, since I’m the president of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. So she gave me some pointers on how to engage more students on campus.”

Sharing a meal with one another created new bonds between students. Genesis Garcia, third-year business major, said her favorite thing about the event was that she made 10 new friends.

“The importance isn’t the food that you’re eating, it’s the people that you’re meeting,” Budisantoso said. “I hope I inspire them to possibly give back to the community, give back to the university once they graduate.”

Dinner with 12 Titans allows students to connect, socialize and network with alumni.

SARITA ESPINOSA Asst. Editor

Meals and memories were shared this weekend at Cal State Fullerton’s Alumni Association’s Dinner with 12 Titans, an opportunity for students to bond with alumni over dinner.

This semester, 13 Alumni and CSUF community members participated by providing meals to students from the comfort of their homes or at a restaurant.

Although CSUF alumni funds the event, Justine Budisantoso, student outreach specialist of alumni engagement, works to match students with alumni who best meet their career interests.

“There’s all these little things because you never know what you’re going to connect over with someone,” Budisantoso said.

Budisantoso stressed the importance of alumni engagement and the value of the dinner. “The biggest benefit that folks get that they don’t realize is the personal connections. It’s just knowing that these are other people who went through this Cal State Fullerton experience, like you did, and they’ll give you that reassurance,” Budisantoso said.

Passionate about the goals of students, Budisantoso shared her love of CSUF. “The beauty of working at Cal State Fullerton: people genuinely care about you and they want to see you succeed. Oh man, it makes me want to cry,” Budisantoso said.

Alumna Sylvia Contreras bonded with Titans at Lascari’s Italian restaurant.

Lascari’s Italian Restaurant was the location where alumna Sylvia Contreras dined with Titans. Contreras graduated in 1996 with a communications degree and was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha.

Contreras shared her current professional duties as senior marketing director at Controlled Motion Solutions, Inc. “I am a marketing director for a fluid power company, so I handle the marketing work. I also handle some recruiting for the office, for example, one of my duties is when we establish a new facility somewhere I go and I lay out the store,” Contreras said.

As an active member of the association, Contreras hosts the event because she wants to return the favor by giving back to the CSUF community after achieving her career goals post graduation.

“Fullerton gave me a lot of opportunities and just being on campus and being active and volunteering at homecoming and grad fest and doing all these things on

campus — that’s my way of turning around, like I’ve hit where I wanted to be,” Contreras said.

Students attended the event for a variety of reasons. Drew Okino, history graduate student and member of Funny People Society, said, “It’s kind of a tradition. You see, four semesters ago one of my really close friends recommended this to members of my club.”

Networking was another motivator behind attending. Wendy Barillas, fourth-year public health major and student ambassador for the association, has attended the event since her first semester.

“I just think it’s a great networking opportunity.

DANIEL BRITO Staff writer

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer continued their hot streak, beating the UC Riverside Highlanders, 1-0, on Sunday night.

The Titans traveled to UCR Soccer Stadium to face off against the now 2-10-1 Highlanders. Led by the best scoring attack in the Big West, the Titans improved to 10-2-1 on the season and have not lost a game since Sept. 2 against Utah Valley.

CSUF’s conference-leading scoring attack got off to an electric start on Sunday night, opening the game with three shots in the first 10 minutes with one of them

by Sarah Davidson being on goal.

Davidson shot it to the bottom right of the goal, but was saved by Highlander goalkeeper Annie Bailey.

ASI funds cultural weeklong event UPD:

Planning for danger

Contingency money will pay for the “SouthWest Asian North African Week.”

HOSAM ELATTAR Editor

The Associated Students, Inc. finance committee voted to approve a contingency request made by the Lebanese Social Club for $8,289 to fund the second “South West Asian and North African Week” on campus.

“Contingency funds are sort of like a reserve fund for ASI, so it’s funds that we set aside for supplemental, emergency or unexpected expenses within ASI and so usually that is (for) events or organizations that aren’t really represented on campus,” said Brittany Cook, Associated Students’ board of directors treasurer and secretary.

Cook said this will be the first time this semester that Associated Students will use money from the contingency fund. The fund holds $30,000 from student fees for the fiscal year.

“The fact they’re asking for $8,289.99 is a very specific request so they’re not rounding up and they’re not just trying to acquire extra funding,” said Selene Hanna, a board of directors representative for the College of Business & Economics. “They budgeted down to as much as they possibly could.”

The four-day event is a collaboration between the Lebanese Social Club, Students for Justice in Palestine, the Iranian Student Association and the Asian Pacific American Resource Center and will take place Oct. 21-25 to showcase and celebrate the region’s culture on campus.

“There has been no other representation of the SWANA community on campus. There is no resource center or inter-club council so we decided last year to start this week to showcase the Middle Eastern heritage we have here on campus,” said Mary Chammas, the founder and

president of the Cal State Fullerton Lebanese Social Club.

Joshua Fatahi, president of Students for Justice in Palestine, said there is not a lot of visible representation of the community on campus.

Fatahi added that following the first South West Asian and North African Week, students approached him and said they did not know there were people from this community on campus. Others told him that the weeklong event helped break stereotypes about people who identify as Southwest Asian or North African.

“This will allow students to get a better grasp of what the SWANA community is. This will allow other students to see their community,” Fatahi said.

Members from both the Lebanese Social Club and Students for Justice in Palestine have been advocating for more recognition of the Southwest Asian and North African community from CSUF. “I do feel that the SWANA community definitely stands for diversity and inclusion on campus and that’s what ASI stands for and what we’ve all expressed in our goals,” Cook said.

The money allocated will be used to provide Mediterranean food free of charge for all four days as well as bring the dance group, Freedom Dabka back to campus to host a workshop on Oct. 24 at the quad in front of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Dabka is a traditional dance from the region and is often performed at weddings. The Freedom Dabka group came to the first event hosted last semester.

The group will give a 20-minute performance followed by a 45-minute workshop for students to learn how to perform the dance.

Student organizations that are involved are donating $550 for equipment and the Asian Pacific American Resource Center is donating $400 in advertising.

Last semester, around 250 people attended the event and are projected to have 350 attendees this semester, according to Chammas.

“It’s allowing people to express themselves through our traditions and customs, and it’s not only for people within the community, it’s for people outside the community to understand the life of a person who lives in the SWANA community,” Chammas said.

HOSAM ELATTAR / DAILY TITAN

Student leaders voted Thursday to approve a request for over $8,000.

CONTINUED FROM 1 Willey emphasizes the importance for individuals to be prepared with the right mindset for this situation so they could react properly.

“Being surprised can paralyze you. If you haven’t thought about what you would do in that situation, you might be paralyzed. We want to get people to think ‘what am I going to do,” Willey said.

Garza emphasized that in these situations, anything can be used as a weapon, like a backpack or fire extinguisher that can be thrown at the assailant. She added that if students or faculty are stuck in a classroom to turn off the lights, try to lock the doors, silence cell phones and hide.

“Keeping yourself safe is the most important thing in any emergency situation, particularly for active shooter situations,” Garza said.

Holly Sneed, adjunct theater professor, is acting in the video and said the video is important to train people on how to respond in these scenarios that also gives students film experience.

“I think it’s great for all students to have experience on a film set because it’s not as magical as it may seem, while at the same time, they get to repeat and repeat and repeat their contributions to the experience,” Sneed said.

Emily Daniels-Flechtner, a first-year theater major, is portraying Jane, one of the main characters in the video. She said having a video for training purposes is important.

“There are still people who are negligent and think that what really is the worst option, they think it’s the best. There are just so many people that still unfortunately need to be educated about this stuff. We got to keep reminding them,” Daniels-Flechtner said.

Resumes get a makeover at local job fair

Southern California employers search for future employees.

MARIAH SANCHEZ Editor

Orange County Supervisor Doug Chaffee partnered with the Fullerton City Council and Orange County workforce development boards to host a job fair at the Fullerton Community Center last Thursday.

The job fair included an interview workshop and resume critique where attendees could meet with professionals one-on-one to review their resumes.

“We go over different styles of interviews appropriate questions employers can ask, what they’re not allowed to ask and also how to appropriately answer questions related to the job that they’re going for,” said Andrienne Conger, a business services representative for One-Stop Center Services in

Attendees at the job fair met with professionals for an interview workshop.

Garden Grove.

One-Stop Center Services is an organization that provides training services and assists with hiring.

The job fair included 78 registered employers from around Orange County like the Disneyland Resort, Southern California Edison and Hyatt Regencies.

“We’re here to make sure to help people get a job they need and we’re happy to help these employers get the talent they also desire,”

said Austin Mejia, field representative for Chaffee.

The events also offered special opportunities for veterans, granting them priority registration.

“Veterans were able to enter earlier than the others. They also have a camouflage wristband so the employers know that they’re speaking with a veteran,” Conger said.

Some employers used the event to network with other businesses like Ming Chen, outreach

shelves decorated with items that could fall as shaking occurs. There was another simulator that has desks to help kids practice if an earthquake were to occur in school.

Priscilla Martinez, president of Geology Club , said she enjoyed the simulator, but felt it was scary at the same time.

“The things in there are plastic, but if they were glass or if they were concrete, it would probably cause a lot of damage,” Martinez said.

The club collaborated with the event by providing simulators to teach students more about earthquakes.

One simulator demonstrated the effects of liquefaction, which is when water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid.

“The simulator is showing how buildings and cars will sink into the ground during an earthquake because water seeps from the bottom up, so as the water goes up, everything else goes down,” Martinez said.

The second simulator modeled

the movement of the San Andreas Fault. It showed how tectonic plates move against one another and when the friction becomes too much, the plates snap to a different position.

Sue Fisher, the emergency management coordinator at CSUF, stressed the importance of being prepared for a worst-case scenario, such as the San Andreas Fault impacting people for several days.

If electricity, water or other functions are lost, she said people must have a plan and include everyone such as kids, elderly and pets.

“Getting down under a table or chair and trying to protect your head is the most critical thing.

We try not to use the term ‘duck and cover’ because it has a specific connotation and doesn’t always mean the same thing in every language,” Fisher said.

The Emergency Preparedness Center advises people to remember “drop, cover and hold on!” For people in a wheelchair or with a walker, it is best to be seated and lock the wheels in place before covering and holding on so that the earthquake doesn’t move them

“It helps connect a lot of people.

We’ve already had a lot of potential clients interested that have signed our list that we will be getting in touch with further,” Chen said.

Another employer at the fair was Easterseals, a nonprofit organization aimed at providing services for people with disabilities. Anne Fox, senior recruiter for the organization said they often do jobs fairs at universities, but they do not get the same crowd.

“We want to make sure that we are getting to all levels of the hiring market. Going very community based gets us a nice variety of experience, expertise and interest,” Fox said.

One attendee heard about the job fair earlier that morning through TV. Devin Jones, a Corona resident, has been looking for a new job opportunity after working in property maintenance for 15 years.

“I’m looking to expand and broaden my horizons,” Jones said. “There’s a plethora of different companies with great opportunities here, so you just have to come and narrow it down on what your abilities are.”

Jones was not the only attendee from outside the Orange County area. Armando Castro of San Gabriel said he came because he thought there would be more opportunities in Orange County.

“I’m feeling pretty positive about these experiences. I’d like to go ahead and follow through with a couple of these applications that I have today. Hopefully, I’ll be hearing back from some of these employers and get myself working soon,” Castro said.

Mejia said the turnout was great.

“We have a lot of excitement from community members and people that want to get a new job, want to start a new chapter in their life, so happy to help them out,” said Mejia.

Earthquake simulator shakes up students Experience replicates 7.0 Ridgecrest earthquake from earlier this year.

DIANA TRAN Staff Writer

The world’s largest mobile earthquake simulator shook Cal State Fullerton, north of Titan Shops, last week during the Big Shaker event.

The simulator recreated the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that shook Ridgecrest, California in July 2019.

“It is run by hydraulic systems and arms that were designed by a world-class hydraulic expert who did car shows. I built and designed the inside,” said Stuart Steingraber, the simulator’s technician.

The Great Shakeout has been around since 2008 and started as a Southern California event. Shakeout events are now held around the world, and the last mobile earthquake simulator that Steingraber built went to Japan.

The simulator models a home by including a couch, table and

around, Fisher said.

Ahsan Masood, CSUF student, tried the simulator for the second time.

“I tried the simulator once at a geology fair, and they immediately put you in an 8.3 (magnitude earthquake). It didn’t have any seat belts, so I was almost rolling on the ground,” Masood said.

Steingraber said his crew is currently building another mobile simulator that will be the largest one of its kind. He is aiming to have it ready by Oct. 17 and will be located at Biola University.

It is uncertain when the San Andreas Fault will rupture because historic information does not provide enough data to establish whether or not there is a pattern in the timing of earthquakes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

“We have the San Andreas Fault 30 to 40 miles from here. It’s a major fault with a lot of potential energy, so when that earthquake fault actually does move, it’s going to highly impact us, so we really need to be prepared on what to do if that occurs,” Fisher said.

Column: Pageantry has an ugly face Pageants preach natural beauty, but reality sets a specific standard.

JESSICA BENDA Asst. Editor

When I was 18, I attempted to live out my dream of being like Sandra Bullock in “Miss Congeniality.”

In other words, I entered a pageant.

I entered thinking pageantry was about female empowerment and self confidence, but my brief time in the industry showed me that pageant life is more about conformity than highlighting your natural self.

While the lifestyle has been improved to become less about physical appearance, the pressure to look and act a certain way looms over these competitions.

As a child, I was always attracted to glamour and glitz, something that the pageant world is overflowing with. However, pageantry was a fleeting desire that I never cared enough to participate in, it was just an idea I’d entertain every once in a while.

So when a letter arrived in the mail, it seemed like fate.

It was an invitation for a pageant circuit. A smear of pink letters detailed an upcoming information session where the judges would be searching for their finalists in the state pageant.

Armed with a high head and

even higher heels, I went off to the pageant.

Not long after, I was announced as a finalist, and I was ecstatic. I was thrilled to empower women and see all the movie stereotypes beaten down. I didn’t go on to win or have a notable placement, but for me, this pageant was just another check off my bucket list, and I had absolutely nothing to lose.

When pageant weekend arrived, I realized the hotel of the venue was a different world — one brimming with nerves and pink shirts. Fouryear-old girls skipped in sparkly dresses as those my age chatted with teenagers in crowns so large, I feared it would hurt their neck.

I was Alice falling into the rabbit hole, tumbling into a world I didn’t understand.

Like me, some finalists were rookies, but others had been living in the pageant world for a decade, and it showed.

On the second day, I stood in the stall of an empty bathroom, trying to catch my breath from the whirlwind of never-ending activities.

It wasn’t long before two girls entered, their voices stopping in front of the mirror.

One contestant asked, “Do you think I can lose ten pounds in a week?”

“I’ve done it,” the other responded. “Now I’m on a no-carb diet, and all I eat is chicken.”

“Thank god, I need to look good for finals.”

Unease became a frequent feeling throughout the weekend and as my fatigue grew, so did my skepticism.

Formal dresses hung on a rack in the shared dressing room of a hundred teenage girls. One contestant told me about another pageant circuit

she had competed in, where some of the other competitors would slash the dresses of others, just before formal night so they were unwearable. She didn’t think it would happen in the circuit, but I still felt sick.

The rest of the weekend was full of rehearsals and competitions that told me how to smile, how to walk, even how to stand. I’ve never done what I’m told — maybe that’s why I had such a problem with pageantry. I was living my best Sandra Bullock life. Many contestants had been training their entire lives to take the crown, spending their summer breaks rehearsing their walk instead of going out.

I remember scrolling through the pageant’s Instagram page, which had preached authenticity and “real girls.” Instead, I saw nothing but photos of girls of all ages unrealistically edited.

Their skin had been airbrushed and teeth were whitened —- not a wrinkle, pimple or hair out of place.

In that moment, staring up at the top 15 on stage, I realized how naive I was to think that the pageant contestants and judges had stopped caring about physical appearance.

The girls on stage were exceptional with high GPAs and a long list of charity work, but the industry itself still demanded conformity in behavior.

There’s no room for a pageant girl with messy hair or a bare face, not if she wants to win.

The circuit I participated in attempted to be positive and empowering to women. I have no doubt that the weekend pushed some girls out of their comfort zone and encouraged their self confidence, but it didn’t break away from

typical pageant ideals.

Yes, the swimsuit competition is gone, but the pressure to look a specific, beautiful way is still there. But being a pageant contestant demands conformity, from using Photoshop to sabotaging other contestants.

While pageants may have progressed, they still stifle individualism. Women are beautiful with or without perfect curls and slim figures and dresses that cost thousands.

I no longer understand the purpose of pageantry, — you don’t need a crown to do charity work or a sash to advocate for change in your community.

Girls don’t need to be pageant queens in order to be exceptional.

Take it from a former contestant.

Limits to population control are in action Measures already set in place support prevention of global rising numbers.

MELISA RYBALTOWSKI Asst. Editor

In a world rotting away due to the impact of civilization, population control is the solution.

While it seems a morbid solution to the chaos mankind has created, the reality is that everyone supports population control one way or another, consciously or subconsciously.

This is because population control is arguably the political interest of parties advocating abortion, as well as parties pushing for immigration policy, and with both policies being on opposite sides of the political spectrum, no one is exempt from advocating population control.

The size of the human population is limited by natural resources, diseases and other environmental factors. While nature regulates population, social structures further affect population growth, such as the customs and ideologies that govern reproduction, as well as the advancement of medicine and public health, which have reduced the relevance of mortality and extended the average life span.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines overpopulation as “the condition of having a population so dense as to cause environmental deterioration, an impaired quality of life, or a population crash.”

The world suffers from all three: deforestation for cultivation and urbanization, the slums all over the world and modern territorial disputes.

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

REBECCA MENA / DAILY TITAN

While overpopulation is evident, the idea of population control continues to be taboo, generating controversy due to the methods of infanticide and oppression.

The atrocities attached to the concept of population control are by no means justifiable, but the concept itself is important to preserve all lives.

In 1928, there were reportedly 2 billion people on the planet, and the global population has reached 7.7 billion in 2019, according to Our World in Data, which provides research and data about disease, hunger and existential risks.

In three centuries, the world has

seen the deforestation of countless acres of land, the industrialization of society leading to lasting pollution and the extinction of at least 60,000 species, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

The last century saw the legalization of abortion in the U.S. in 1973.

Infanticide, or the act of deliberately causing the death of young children, is often correlated with population control, and there are those who consider abortion a form of infanticide.

While individuals who support abortion-rights would disagree that abortion is a personal choice, or that it doesn’t cause

the death of a born child, they overlook the political interest of parties promoting abortion. It is more commonly promoted among minority populations of low resource, according to the American Journal of Public Health.

Abortion is a political interest and political parties advocating abortion-rights are pushing for a means of population control. Political parties target minorities when persuading for population control, as if abortion were an advertisement like those of retail stores filling Instagram feeds.

In other words, liberal governments indirectly push population control through the promotion of abortion-rights, while also advocating for immigration, while conservative governments typically oppose abortion, but push for population control through immigration policies.

Immigration policies clearly control population, for better or worse. However, while immigration is more simply thought of as the crossing of borders, migration plays a part in national population control as well, incentivizing people to move around and decentralize cities.

When addressing immigration, it’s important to note that immigrants gravitate towards the inner city because of the high employment opportunities. However, the centralization of immigration with littleto-no economic standing has historically proven to concentrate immigrant poverty within the metropolitan cities, such as the neighborhoods in south Los Angeles.

Decentralizing population is a form of population control as well, and it not only generates the possibility of job opportunities elsewhere, but it can also stimulate the economies of rural regions. In addition, decentralization allows for a more participatory democracy as well.

Population control is not bad. Its methods may be arguably immoral, however, the reason for which population control is vital to the survival of this planet is an interest that transcends politics and religion alike. It’s time the conversation shifted.

Volleyball breaks skid with win at UC Irvine The Titans defeated the Anteaters, 3-1, for their first Big West win since 2017.

DANIEL BRITO Staff writer

Cal State Fullerton’s volleyball team ended their four-game losing streak on Saturday, beating UC Irvine, 3-1, to pick up their first conference win this season.

The Titans now sit at 9-7 for the season, but remain near the bottom of the Big West standings because of a 1-4 conference record.

CSUF faced off against UCI at the Bren Events Center in a matchup between two teams that have been struggling in conference play this season.

The Titans got off to a sluggish start as the Anteaters started off the match with three straight kills before CSUF’s Faith Squier got the Titans on the board.

Irvine’s Onye Ofoegbu paced the team with four kills in the first set.

The Anteaters took the first set, 25-19, with 14 kills to CSUF’s seven and had five service errors to only one from CSUF, a trend that carried throughout the match.

UCI remained in control early in the second set with kills coming from Cassie Stewart and Joy Umeh.

CSUF went back and forth in the second set as Julia Crawford and Tyler Fezzey got back-to-back kills.

The Titans took control late in the second set with another two kills coming from Crawford and took the set, 25-17, to tie it up

with the Anteaters.

CSUF had a hitting percentage of .355 in the second set, their highest of the game.

The momentum carried into the third set for the Titans as they began to assert themselves with early kills coming from Crawford and Haley Carmo.

The Anteaters committed three straight attack errors in the middle of the set, two of them from Umeh and the other from Makayla Wolf.

Taking advantage of UCI’s errors, CSUF took the third set, 25-18, to take a 2-1 lead in the match.

UCI started off the fourth set more aggressively than the Titans with three kills, however CSUF quickly followed up with two of their own. Trying to get some control back in the set, Irvine would score three more, but to no avail as CSUF won the set, 30-28, and dominated the match 3-1.

Errors were the deciding factor in the victory as UC Irvine had 28 attack errors compared to 17 from CSUF and 14 service errors to four from the Titans.

Julia Crawford recorded a double-double as she pitched in 22 points and 17 digs.

Mackenzie Abelman recorded 40 assists for the Titans on the day.

Savahna Costello recorded 22 digs on the day to add to her average of 5.52 digs per set, the highest in the conference, and Julia Crawford’s 20 kills adds to her average 3.95 kills per set average, third best in the conference.

After picking up their first Big West win of the season, the Titans will travel to face conference foe Long Beach State on Oct. 18 at 7 p.m.

The Titans continued to apply pressure on UCR’s side of the field, drawing three corner kicks in less than three minutes, but could not convert any of them into a goal.

Maddie Bennett followed the barrage of corner kicks with a shot in the 13th minute for the Titans, but it went out left.

The Highlanders responded to CSUF’s early offensive pressure by making a series of substitutions, bringing in Neyda Martinez, Leigh Polson and Alexis Vera in the 14th minute.

UCR’s Natza Marin had a shot on goal in the 17th minute, saved by Titan goalkeeper Noa Shumacher. It was Riverside’s lone shot in the first half.

CSUF’s offense was quiet for the remainder of the first half,

other than a shot on goal by Davidson in the 33rd minute that the Highlanders goalkeeper blocked for her second save in the first half.

The Titans wasted no time in the second half, with two shots and three corner kicks in the first five minutes after resuming play.

Megan Day broke through for the Titans and scored a goal in the 49th minute to give CSUF a 1-0 lead.

CSUF’s Alba Barrios followed up Day’s goal with a shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but Bailey had another save for UCR. The Highlanders failed to maintain significant possession of the ball, and the Titans resided on UCR’s side of the field as they continued to fire off shots throughout the middle portion of the second half.

UCR did not get off their first shot of the second half until the 87th minute, in which Riverside had only two shots in the entire game ultimately leading to a 1-0 defeat.

Maddie Bennett led the Titans with four shots, and the Titans finished with 13 shots, five of them on goal, as well as 15 corner kicks. However, the Highlanders had only two shots and one corner kick the entire night.

After scoring one goal against the Highlanders, the Titans average 2.31 goals per game, which leads the conference, with UC Santa Barbara coming in second with 1.58.

The Titans will look to continue their stellar play on the season in their next matchup, as they head to UC Irvine to face off against the Anteaters on Oct. 18 at 7 p.m.

Titans stumble against the Gauchos

The Titans lost against UC Santa Barbara 5-0, dropping to 0-2 in the conference.

KASON CLARK Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer lost, 5-0, to UC Santa Barbara at home Saturday night, making it four straight losses after an 8-01 start to the season. The loss also dropped them to 0-2 in conference play and was their fourth straight game getting shutout.

The Gauchos got off to a hot start with two goals in the first 20 minutes. Will Baynham scored in the eighth minute, and Thibault Candia scored in the 12th minute to extend the Gaucho lead, 2-0.

The Titans attempted to get back in the game within the next ten minutes with two shots and a corner kick, however they were unsuccessful getting on the board. In the 28th minute, Rodney Michael extended the Gaucho lead to 3-0.

The Titans only had two shots on goal in the first half. Both of them were saved

by Ben Roach, who had four saves on the day for the Gauchos.

Head coach George Kuntz said the large halftime deficit put him and his team in a position they were not familiar with.

“We’ve never been behind the eight-ball like that, so I think the guys were a little shocked that we had to make some adjustments based on the score,” Kuntz said.

The Titans came out more aggressive

in the second half with four shots and a corner kick in the half’s first five minutes. However, they still could not break through for a goal.

Santa Barbara put the game out of reach with a goal from Fin Ballard McBride in the 59th minute. The Gauchos added the last goal of the game in the 66th minute from Hunter Ashworth to make the lead 5-0.

Five yellow cards were handed out, all in the second half. UC Santa Barbara players Kaya Fabretti, William Gillingham and Omari Fontes were penalized, while Sam Molz and Diego Useda received fouls for the Titans.

Despite the final margin, the teams were evenly matched in several statistical categories. Both teams recorded four corner kicks in the game, and the Gauchos took 14 shots compared to the Titans’ 13.

At halftime, CSUF’s Jose Delgado was taken out of the lineup because of a head injury. Christian Pinzon, the team’s leading scorer, has also not been playing because of a quadriceps injury he suffered Wednesday night against Cal State Northridge. Despite the loss of two important offensive players, Kuntz said that his healthy players will have to step up in their absence.

“We’re going to have to help them as coaches,” Kuntz said. “Give them tools and give them the information they need to be successful in doing that.”

The loss dropped the Titans’ record to 8-4-1. The Titans will next play at Cal Poly

San Luis Obispo, Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

The Mustangs are 4-6-1 this season and are on a three-game losing streak.

Heading into their two-game road trip, Kuntz encouraged his players to put this

game past them.

“Obviously it’s a disappointment, but the big message for the team is sometimes you just have to let that one go and learn from it,” Kuntz said. “We’ll teach from it.”

Disney television animator shares success story regarding his career, personal life and colleagues. While some of his responses earned a few laughs and nods of approval, other remarks sparked inspiration for the eager artists.

“There’s room in the industry for anyone who wants it badly enough,” Wimberly said. “It shows dedication that they’re here on a Friday night voluntarily and that bodes well for their careers.”

Guest speaker Kris Wimberly answered students’ questions about the industry.

Cal State Fullerton alumnus Kris Wimberly spreads his wisdom to hopeful artists.

ANGEL RAMIREZ Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton’s Pencil Mileage Club gave students the chance to hear from a professional storyboarder and CSUF alumni, Kris Wimberly, about his work and experience on Friday, Oct. 11.

The Pencil Mileage Club, established in 1996, is a group of animators, illustrators and visual art students who work together in pursuing their artistic passions at CSUF. Rowan Smith, president of the club said, “We’re the biggest art club here on campus. We represent animators and illustrators and also just art enthusiasts —anyone who’s interested.”

The club also helps students develop connections through drawing sessions, group projects and speaker events with professionals in their field.

“We bring industry professionals to come and share a little bit of their wisdom with us, and then we also do socials or chances for people to meet other artists here on campus, chances to let the art community grow here on campus

at Fullerton,” Smith said.

The club harbors a diverse group of artists on campus and members say they take pride in that community’s representation within their organization.

“I feel like animators and illustrators don’t have a lot of representation here on campus, but there are a lot of us. When I say we’re the biggest art club here on campus, we have around 200 members, so we try to represent all of them,” Smith said.

Wimberly currently works for Disney Television Animation, but has worked for multiple other animation companies such as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Frederator Studios.

Having worked in the business for 12 years, Wimberly has been involved in many shows including “Puppy Dog Pals,” “Spongebob Squarepants,” “Teen Titans Go!” and many more in addition to hosting the The Animation Network podcast.

“When I graduated from here, I was able to make it into the industry and have a really successful journey, so I came back to share some of my knowledge,” Wimberly said.

Students brushed up on their art skills while Wimberly reviewed his past work for some of the series mentioned earlier.

From paper to digital platforms, there were no restrictions on the resources members could use to express their creativity.

Students also expressed their appreciation on a thank-you card to Wimberly, filling it with words and drawings showing their gratitude for his wisdom and advice to CSUF art students.

Entertainment art animation student, Glenn Childers, shared that even though he isn’t a member of the club, he enjoys how their events engage artists on campus and fosters communication among them.

“My personal favorite aspect about Pencil Mileage Club is their speaker events because they bring people from the actual industry, and they all have different individual insights that are really helpful and beneficial to art students,” said Childers.

Lynn Benner, an aspiring animator, also participated in the event for the chance to learn from an industry professional and have a fruitful discussion.

“It’s really interesting to have people in, and especially since he cut such a long part of the discussion for (questions), I think that’s a really good thing to have,” said Benner.

Wimberly spoke about his career and experiences and answered questions from students

Performers leave the script for an improvised skit Students find comedic relief in the witty three act wonder presented by Fool-A-Tons.

WENDY CHAVEZ Staff Writer

WENDY CHAVEZ / DAILY TITAN

Clair Wagner (left), Fallon Heaslip (middle) and Grant Sterling (right) improvise songs and dialogue as they circle the stage.

Seats were quickly filled as the stage lights slowly dimmed inside the arena at the Clayes Performing Arts Center on Friday afternoon.

After performing in the Bachelor of Arts Showcase last year as a freshman, Molly Renze decided to pitch something different — a comedy improv. Cal State Fullerton B.A. Showcase hosted the first theatre and comedy improv show of the season called “Fool-A-Tons.”

The program began with Renze welcoming and thanking guests for their attendance and then introduced each member of the showcase.

Fool-A-Tons consisted of six hilariously entertaining performers: Fallon Heaslip, Yoni Kruvi, Kai Rosales, Grant Sterling, Claire Wagner and Amelia Williams. The 45-minute skit was divided into four segments each influenced by the audience’s suggestions.

Renze, a theatre arts major, has been doing improv since she was young and wanted to share her love for the style at the showcase.

“Fully improv shows are so much more spectacular than scripted shows because everybody on stage is a writer, everybody has to communicate,” Renze said. “I

think it wows the audience more because you can create a story that’s probably better than the scripted story sometimes.”

The first act was a singing game known as “Da Doo Ron Ron.” Renze took audience suggestions on names which performers would use and rhyme with while singing. Those who failed to make up a rhyme on their turn would be eliminated and forced to sit down on seats placed on the stage.

As the piano melody commenced, performers formed a line next to one another and began snapping their fingers as they sang their verses. After each successful attempt, the melody would speed up, shortening the time for performers to think of their response.

After three successful rounds, members began to stumble upon their words and took their seats.

For the second act, performers divided into two teams and were given a scenario. In a friendly boys versus girls competition, the male team were tasked to act out ghost hunting in an empty house while the females were to act on craving pickles in the late evening.

Two members from the men acted as the ghost hunters, and one as

the target. The group’s acting skills shined during this skit as the ghost dashed across the stage and around the staircases of the audience’s seats to escape.

The hunters ran into one another in trying and failing to capture the ghost, adding to the humor of the scene as they blamed one another’s incompetence.

After minutes of the amusing cat chase, Renze blew her whistle to signal that it was the women’s turn onstage. A member from the women’s team kicked off the scene and began talking about how hungry she is. Not acknowledging that her teammate was also on stage, she continued talking to herself about how she was desperately craving a pickle.

The second teammate responded to her, affirming her thought that nothing sounded better than a pickle. Clutching their stomachs, both girls slowly licked their lips as they described the qualities of a pickle that sparked laughter throughout the room. The whistle blew when the third teammate entered the stage as she froze in shock of their listicle.

Yoni Kruvi, a theatre arts major, said improv can be tricky when first getting into the art

because of its ambiguity.

“Sometimes, you get stuck and you are really in your head instead of trusting your instincts, and that can be a problem when you’re too in your head, then it leads to bad improv,” Kruvi said.

Kruvi encouraged students to audition, despite people’s hesitation in participating.

“The energy that is in that room is like, you only find that in improv and really comedic performances.

The laughter of everyone makes you feel really good,” Kruvi said.

For the third act, an audience member was asked to join the stage and help facilitate the next game. Their role was to interfere with the skit by either physically moving their bodies or changing the tone of the dialogue.

The sudden switches between topics added to the show’s comedic effect, transitioning from talking about visiting a friend to losing track of the conversation.

Despite the interruptions and moving the performers’ bodies around the stage, they continued their conversation as if nothing and no one was out of place.

The group saved the best for last — a musical in which audience suggestions were incorporated into

the performance’s songs.

Ideas as random as buying dog food at Kmart, falling in love in a parking lot and losing car keys were all phrases the performers creatively adopted.

Fallon Heaslip, a member of the group, said she hoped audience members left the show feeling changed.

“If people were stressed about something before the show, I hope they walked away a little de-stressed or a little bit happier,” Heaslip said.
