The Fullerton City Council intends to implement a pilot nighttime paid parking program in downtown.

The Fullerton City Council approved a measure to allow a pilot program for paid nighttime parking in downtown Fullerton with a vote of 3-2 on Tuesday. The city will impose a $5 flat parking fee after 9 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday

starting the first week of June. It will be regulated by the use of unmanned kiosks which patrons will need to punch their license plate into rather than getting a receipt and returning to their car. The kiosks will use smart technology to take pictures of the front and back license plates of each car that parks in downtown Fullerton. The company the city has partnered with and the information that the kiosks derive from the license plates will be stored on a cloud system

for the city to review, according to representatives of SP+. Heather Allen, the planning consultant of Fullerton, worked with SP+ to determine the benefits of charging for downtown parking. She said the paid parking would help manage peak parking demands, establish revenue streams for downtown operations and improve security in lots and structures. Residents and the city council were concerned about privacy when the idea of data collection was brought up. Councilman

Ahmad Zahra was particularly concerned about where the data was stored and Mayor Jesus Silva was concerned over whether or not the data could be sold. “I really don’t think that this is going to demonstrate any, I mean if we’re looking at improving our downtown we should be looking at improving our business developments downtown,” said Zahra. Interim police chief Bob Dunn said the data, which is being collected by a company called Vigilant Solutions, will

only be accessible by the Fullerton Police Department, the city and those who subscribe to the service. Another point of contention that was raised was the program’s enforcement of daytime parking regulations before 9 p.m. Allen proposed that the new program would require visitors who come to downtown Fullerton during the day to register for free, time-limited parking.

A handful of students at the Titan Student Union Pub gathered around in a circle for spoken word poet Natasha T. Miller who performed poetry that touched on themes of grief, identity, sexual assault and an open letter to actress Raven-Symoné during Speak Yo’ Truth Tuesday hosted by Associated Students. “There are blue boys filled with sadness the size of their backpacks, filled with rifles for tender blue girls who tenderly tell them no; little girls who have not yet learned the maps of their own body so reject the notion of blue boys exploring them, and in response they end up on classroom floors in oceans of their own blood for saying no to movie dates or not responding to text messages,” Miller projected her first poem discussing the night’s theme of sexual assault. The theme was chosen in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Health science major Caroline Benner performed an improvised poem about the topic. “It’s really important to talk about what this month is about — sexual assault and experiences with that,” Benner said.

Park: Kiosks for cars require plate registration

CONTINUED FROM 1 Mayor Silva and Councilwoman Jan Flory both voiced opposition to the idea, saying that people who need to run to Ace Hardware in the downtown would not want to be troubled to put in their license plate number just to park. “The information that the city receives by registering your vehicle doesn’t tell you what person is parking in what space for how long. All it’s telling is that this car came into this structure and it’s not even telling you when that care left,” Flory said. There was no incentive for

people who are just coming to downtown for a short period of time to go to their favorite store or pick something up, according to Flory. Several business owners from downtown Fullerton also came to give their input on the matter. Leanna Forcucci, the director of the hip-hop program and elite crews at CF Dance Academy, who told the city council that she supported the idea of paid parking but did not like the inconvenience the daytime parking might impose on her clientele. In response to these concerns,

the community development director Ted White saidhe, Allen and SP+ would be willing to work out a different solution for daytime parking before 9 p.m. License plate parking technology is currently implemented in Newport Beach’s Balboa Lot, but those kiosks charge at an hourly rate whereas the parking program in Fullerton will charge a flat rate. Some citizens thought the parking program might help mitigate the issue of drunk visitors who park in front of residences in downtown Fullerton, but others said that the problem is localized within the city law

enforcement. Joshua Ferguson, an 8-year resident of Fullerton, said the installation of cameras in the Soco Parking Structure has demonstrated that the city has the ability to control the issue of drunk passersby, but they chose not to enforce the rules. The program is projected to earn the city over $7,000 in weekly revenue, but will cost over $5,000 a week to run. By the end of week 24 of the pilot program, Allen said the city would make a profit of $14,550. Zahra and Councilman Bruce Whitaker were the only two

voices of dissent in the final vote as the city council moved to adopt the measure with requested adjustments to the collection of data and daytime parking regulations. But some residents, such as Jane Rands, still think the program needs more development for the downtown Fullerton community. “I think there wasn’t enough concern for the impacts to the neighborhoods, they don’t know how to determine whether or not it’s working or what their criteria is. I know I’m going to know when its not working,” Rands said.

Tech Day pushed student innovations Free headshots and new gaming equipment were at the Pollak Library’s event. BAYLEE MAUST Staff Writer

Students, staff and faculty enjoyed an array of 16 different workshops and 34 vendors at the 2019 TechDay, hosted by Cal State Fullerton’s Division of Information Technology in the Pollak Library on Wednesday. Amir Dabirian, vice president of Information Technology, kicked off the opening ceremonies. Dabirian mentioned Cal State Fullerton’s IT goal was to digitally transform the campus by 2020. He then introduced Jeanne Holm, Deputy CIO and Tech Advisor for the city of Los Angeles as the keynote speaker. Holm discussed new innovations like automatic-driving cars and earthquake detection apps that are already being tested and used in today’s society to better serve people. “When we think about city planning and design in the city of Los Angeles, we want to understand the future people would like to have, not necessarily the gap analysis between here and there,” Holm said.

After the opening ceremony, attendees went upstairs to the second floor to attend informational panels about DropBox and Adobe Spark, or speak to the variety of technology-related tables spread throughout the library. “Technology is here to support them and to assist them in their teaching, learning and day-to-day functions at Cal State Fullerton,” said Willie Peng, the assistant vice president for Information Technology support services at CSUF, about the role technology plays in student lives. George Del Junco, a student, said he was looking forward to taking his free headshot at TechDay. “I’m a millennial obviously, and I feel as if I’m very behind on technology in comparison to my peers. I really need to get on it. I came here to learn more about the technology and see about the updates and just to learn, I’m always learning,,” Del Junco said. After getting their headshots, students could talk to campus partners that tabled for the event including LinkedIn, Kelly Paper and Viewsonic. Ryan Zervakos, the relationship manager at LinkedIn, has attended three CSUF TechDays and enjoys teaching students how to navigate the LinkedIn website.

Zervakos said he told students creating a profile, growing their network and posting content could significantly improve their LinkedIn user experience. “I get to teach students how to make a difference for them and their career and hopefully they use LinkedIn so that they can get a job when they leave college,” said Zervakos. Before visiting Zervakos’ table, Milina Wulin, a senior psychology student said she was overwhelmed with the prospect of building a

Elephant statue to receive $100,000 Around 20% of the donation from the 2019 graduating class will go to the project. ESMERALDA FIGUEROA Staff Writer

This year, the 2019 class gift will go to two entities: 80% to Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center and approximately 20% will go toward placing an elephant statue on campus and enhancing the campus, according to Rebecca Hesgard, Associated Students chief campus relations officer. The tradition of the class gift formally began in 2014, when the 2014 graduating class donated close to $3,000 to the university. This monetary gift allowed the campus to purchase outdoor seating between the TSU and the State College Parking Structure. The amount of the class gift has continued to grow every year. According to the class gift page on CSUF’s website, Hesgard wrote that “since the mid ‘90s, students have been working to establish a permanent symbol of that pride in the form of an elephant statue.” Dianna Fisher, executive director of CSUF Alumni Engagement, said that while there were “bonafide attempts to bring a statue to campus” during the ‘90s the project was scrapped. “The effort was to raise $250,000 and efforts were not successful,” Fisher said. “There’s no documentation or articles that state why.” A brochure dating back to the ’90s detailed the Titan Monument as a “life-sized bronze sculpture of a male African elephant” that would have resided in the quad in front of McCarthy Hall. During the 2018 fall graduation barbecue, Hesgard said participating students were surveyed to determine where the funds for

the class gift should go toward. Graduating students who submitted a survey voted that 80% of the gift would go toward Tuffy’s Basic Needs Center and 20% would support physical projects on campus, such as the elephant statue. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the funds that are 20% of the class gift are going directly to the elephant statue but that some funds will be dedicated to that project,” Hesgard said. Maria Linares, ASI vice secretary for the board of directors, said 20% of the class gift can be used more effectively if it were used to fund other programs and projects “We are limited on resources for students, especially those who come from historically marginalized backgrounds,” Linares said. “I feel like we need to focus on providing scholarships for the students, either for the regalia or to help them academically.” CSUF students John Bautista and Stevan Moreno said while funding to support campus projects are a good idea, the Titan Monument is not what they had in mind. “It’s better off to put those funds to resources and stuff that we can actually use as students,” Bautista said. Previous class gifts have funded outdoor construction projects. Although the class of 2014 started

the cycle of donating money as a class gift, the graduating class of 1999 was the first recorded instance of a class gift, which went toward the poles by the Becker Amphitheater. “I feel like it could go toward renovating some of our older buildings,” Moreno said. “I know the math and science building is a little outdated.” According to a philanthropy map found on the CSUF class gift web page, previous class gifts have funded a range of projects including boulders for seating at the drop-off area by Nutwood,scholarships, and the Fully Mammoth fossil in the TSU. Fisher said the board of directors had just approved a measure to set aside $100,000 for the Titan Monument, but fundraising will still be necessary. “I should say that’s a $100,000 commitment from our alumni board,” Fisher said. “It would not include the fundraising

efforts of our alumni board or to our alumni community to potentially raise more money.” While the original 1990 plans for the Titan Monument detailed a single life-sized statue on campus, Fisher said another possibility to commemorate the CSUF mascot could be many smaller statues. “There is a possibility that a herd of elephants may be strategically placed around campus on a smaller scale,” Fisher said. Should the board of directors decide on a life-sized elephant monument instead, a potential location has already been chosen ,according to Fisher. “There is a spot dedicated in the Promenade,

rendering that they’ve identified for a possible statue. This could be a place where we could put it, but it doesn’t prevent us from exploring with students and facilities,” Fisher said. Although students like Linares and Bautista express concern over the statue, Fisher said the alumni board remains committed to student scholarships and basic needs funding. “Our board felt very strongly that this elephant statue effort wouldn’t overshadow or dominate their work,” Fisher said.

Faculty examined race’s role in public spaces The Noon-Time Talk points out the impact of buses and linguistics on society. KAITLIN MARTINEZ News Editor

Volker Janssen, a history professor, and Bonnie J. Williams-Farrier, a linguistics professor, looked at the role of public transportation in the civil rights movement as well as the role of African American verbal traditions in academics during a Faculty NoonTime Talk held on Tuesday. Janssen focused on how the bus transportation system was an integral part of the civil rights movement, and said it is an overlooked mode of transportation and aspect of equality activism. Janssen said bus use is an equally important issue with segregation of schools in the civil rights movement because Rosa Parks and other activists fought for equal public transportation as much as racial equality. “We have distilled her life and protest to an abstract. Lost in our celebration of her stand for human dignity and civic equality is the public institution for which she fought,” Janssen said. Janssen said this is shown in bus desegregation in the 1970s. “A coalition of community action groups (were) fighting government racism and Bus Riders Union, calling attention to the inequities of public transportation,” Janssen said. “What better way to flame the rage of white city neighbors than to desegregate schools by driving buses with African American children across town?” By contrast, Williams-Farrier

Bonnie Williams-Farrier, Linguistics professor discusses how African American linguistics is widespread in academia.

focused on a question that was posed to her while doing research on African American verbal traditions and how it permeates academic study across ethnicities. African American students in her study said they thoroughly enjoyed learning the African American verbal traditions and seeing their prevalence in academic writing because that validated their history and language. While she was presenting her findings to publications, reviewers continually asked her

the same question. “When you become a researcher, you are trained to look for patterns and one common question that I received every time I gave a talk or submitted to journals was ‘Can a white teacher teach African American verbal tradition?’” said Williams-Farrier. She said white teachers can teach the subject as long as they are willing to confront racism fully in the classroom. Leslie Bruce, English and linguistics professor, said she is interested in implementing

the verbal traditions concepts in the writing classes that she teaches. “I’m always interested in new ways to teach my own classes, but also because I lead faculty professional development workshops, I’m always looking for new content to introduce,” Bruce said. William-Farrier also said if a teacher does not feel that they are not able to fully confront racism in the classroom when teaching that subject, then they can have someone well-versed in African American studies

guest lecture for their class. In regards to bus activism, Janssen said that the vision that fought for equal public transportation as well as racial equality has been forgotten. “When we see schools segregated today, we very much lament it,” Janssen said. “But when we look at our transportation infrastructure and we see the streets clogged with Ubers and Lyfts, and nobody on buses, we don’t see this and say we have failed the civil rights movement.” Jacquelyn Cervantes, a student, attended the talk because she has fond memories of taking the bus as a kid and noticed that bus riding is not as popular today. “I grew up taking the bus all the time so I wanted to hear what he had to say about the bus transportation. He mentioned about in LA it’s used a lot and now we don’t see it as much, it’s more just like people sitting in traffic in their own cars,” Cervantes said. Cervantes said she wants her kids to make a difference by riding public transportation. “I want to teach my kids now to also be like going on the bus and not just depend on taking their own car or an Uber. There’s the bus, it’s easy to take. It’s a good thing, you can meet other people,” Cervantes said. Even with the increased emphasis on ride sharing and car use over the decades, Volker said that privacy is the real reason why people drive their own cars rather than taking the bus. “Americans’ love of the automobile may no longer be the only obstacle. It is our preference for the private experience makes a renaissance of a truly public transportation so difficult to imagine,” Janssen said.

Poetry: Spoken word for a cause CONTINUED FROM 1 One such student is Aaron Chu, a human communication studies major, who will be returning to Beijing, China to pursue a career as a subway conductor after two years at CSUF. Chu performed two songs in his own language and shared his struggles during his time at Cal State Fullerton. One of the songs was a traditional graduation song in his homeland, he said. “I am excited to go back, but I will miss everything here. I will definitely miss CSUF Titan Toons, and of course this country and the state of California,” Chu said. While some students like Chu used the space to say goodbye to the university and their experiences here, others tackled issues like being an undocumented student. Poets talked about failed relationships and missed connections, pouring their broken hearts out to the stage like maple syrup on Sunday morning pancakes, warming and feeding the audience’s souls. Compared to past Speak Yo’ Truth Tuesday events where crowds of students filled the pub, Tuesday’s open mic was a cozy and intimate affair, so much so that Miller didn’t need to use the microphone when she performed her hour-long set. Miller, a Detroit native and member of the LGBTQ+ community, performs her poetry internationally. She also dabbles in filmmaking and writes for Button Poetry, a poetry media outlet. Touching on heavy issues like

sexual assault through poetry hits people in ways that normal conversation don’t, Miller said. “As a sexual assault survivor I think if step one is having the conversation, then it’s important for me to be a part of the conversation,” Miller said. “I think what I found is poetry, very specifically spoken word, is easier for some people to digest.” Miller shared stories about an ex who cheated on her and about dealing with the grief of her brother who was murdered. She ended her set with a Q&A session for those who attended the event to pick her brain. She encouraged students and young poets to find their own voice. “The best story to tell is your own story, I had a period where I talked about sexual assault a lot and it was my story,” Miller said. “And sometimes I write funny poems about getting cheated on and sometimes I write the poems that are hard and that kind of crack me open as a human being.” The safe space gave listeners and poets the comfort to crack jokes, rap and share whatever was on their mind without fear of consequences or judgment. Students left the night feeling as though a burden had been lifted from their shoulders, leaving behind their stress on the empty chairs abandoned in the pub. “Poetry is not just words, it’s not just me on a stage, it’s not just me getting the check at the end of the night, it’s not snaps, it’s not claps, I found my tribe in poetry,” Miller said.

Review: Anderson .Paak is back The rhythm and blues singer and rapper returns with his album ‘Ventura.’ NATHAN NGUYEN Lifestyle Editor

A musical phenomenon full of energy and excitement took place in Southern California this weekend, but it wasn’t the Coachella music festival; it was the release of Anderson .Paak’s new album “Ventura.” Just a few months after the release of his third studio album “Oxnard,” the rhythm and blues singer and rapper surprised fans with the announcement of the new album. The record was released last Friday and is composed of 11 songs with a total run time of 39 minutes. “Ventura” currently sits at No. 1 on iTunes’ Top 100 Soul and R&B Albums and has received over 20 million streams on Spotify in just under a week. Featuring Nate Dogg, Smokey Robinson, Sonyae Elise, André 3,000 and more, “Ventura” is jampacked with a collection of smooth tunes that exude a summertime feeling. .Paak continues the theme of naming his albums after cities in Southern California that have influenced his upbringing, with Venice, Malibu, Oxnard, and now, Ventura. The California native was born in Oxnard and began his musical journey by playing drums at his church. Through gospel and worship, he developed his talents as a performer and philanthropist. After years of moving around and working odd jobs, .Paak harnessed his passion for music into a budding career with a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2017 and most recently, a Grammy win for his hit single “Bubblin’” for Best Rap Performance. Despite experimenting with Dr. Dre for a more

upbeat hip-hop sound on “Oxnard,” .Paak’s smooth, laid-back personality was still present throughout his past album. On “Ventura,” the affable artist returns to his personable steady sound found in “Venice” and “Malibu.” “Ventura” opens up with soothing vocals from Norelle paralleled with piano keys before .Paak steps up to the plate to issue a plea in “Come Home.” Complemented with bass strums and the high pitch of a flute, the song carries a somber and seemingly haunting tone as .Paak sings about his desire to return to his roots. André 3,000 interrupts the flow with a quick verse to conclude the song with “Peace and inner calm, geez, it’s been a long T-I-M-E.” The steady beat of a drum kicks off the hit single “Make it Better”

as .Paak reminisces on past love, singing about how it’s easier to run away from problems rather than pleasing people. .Paak reflects on past paramours as he sings, “I remember you and me / Close as any two can be. Now we’re strangers in the night / Awkward and uptight.” A trifecta of strings from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Jhair Lazo and Lola A. Romero complement the sweet serendipitous sound of the second song on the album. On “Reachin’ 2 Much,” .Paak and Lalah Hathaway sing a prolonged chorus repeating, “I see you reachin’, baby, what are you reachin’ for?” .Paak questions the necessity of relationships and religion as he struggles with the thought of suicide and asks if this life is worth living, but realizes he just needs

to settle down and trust in God’s guidance. An interlude from Sonny LoSpecchio & Calogera Anello introduces “Winner’s Circle” with advice on how to achieve the success of famed athletes like Rocky Marciano, “Sugar” Ray Robinson and Joe Lewis. The upbeat track takes listeners on a trip of triumph as .Paak confidently states, “If I know I can get it, then I’ve already had it, I’m cool, cool.” “Good Heels” featuring Jazmine Sullivan gives off a “Malibu” vibe as it begins with a steady drum beat accompanied by guitar strums from Danny McKinnon and synth bass from Pomo. “Good Heels” is similar in style and sound to “Small Worlds” by the late Mac Miller, who was a close friend of .Paak’s.

.Paak recalls his rise to stardom in “Yada Yada” as he sings, “Came a long way from them open mics at Leimert / Forgive me if I walk like a got a chip on my shoulder.” Known for his exuberant smile and even brighter personality, .Paak explains that when dreams become a reality, it’s hard not to smile. On “King James,” .Paak gets political as he says, “We couldn’t stand to see our children shot dead in the streets / But when I finally took a knee / Them crackers took me out the league.” Referencing former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s campaign against police brutality, .Paak also praises NBA superstar LeBron James for using his platform to create equal opportunity. “Chosen One” featuring Sonyaè Elise starts out slow, but quickly jumps in with a strong beat from .Paak as Sonyae seals the chorus lines of “You could be a chosen one / Kiss me with your native tongue.” “Jet Black” featuring Brandy and “Twilight” gives listeners a moving and grooving experience to the beat and the bass as they are perfect songs to listen to on a summer night while driving through Ventura Highway. .Paak gives a tribute to Nate Dogg on the final track, “What Can We Do?” featuring unreleased samples from the late rapper. Long-time .Paak fans are taken on a journey throughout “Ventura” that finally comes full circle. From the beaches of Venice and Malibu to his hometown of Oxnard, .Paak shares intimate experiences about his life from love and lust to faith and dreams. For first time listeners, “Ventura” is a perfect introduction to the artist, entertainer and essence that is Anderson .Paak. Julius Choi contributed to this article.

Disney live action films are uninspired Remaking the animated classics is a money grab.

BAYLEE MAUST Staff Writer

Disney and non-Disney fans alike may have noticed the recent explosion of the company’s animated films reimagined in live action. Disney has begun to remake their classic animated films into live action spectaculars, starting with the release of “Alice in Wonderland” in 2010. Disney has since continued to capitalize off of remaking their original animated movies ever since. “Aladdin” is the next remake expected to release May 24, 2019. The movies that Disney has released thus far have proved to be successful. The “Beauty and the Beast” remake made $174,750,616 in the box office during the opening weekend. It is apparent that Disney is only continuing this trend of remaking films because they know these classic fan-favorites are

guaranteed to make them money. The college-aged and teenage generations of today would probably love to see their favorite childhood cartoons brought back to life in an updated format. While the concept is compelling, it highlights Disney’s inability to be creative and to bring new original concepts to life. With their recent acquisition of 21st Century Fox, Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm, Disney’s motives have shifted from making magic into making money. Disneyland and Walt Disney World, the theme parks that once prided themselves on having oneof-a-kind lands and rides, now radiate greedy motives with their extravagant expansions such as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and an expected Marvel themed land. Disney knows these films and theme parks will attract a guaranteed audience. The company takes no risk in shoveling money into huge construction projects and production budgets for these theme park expansions and film remakes because they already have giant fanbases. Every Disney fanatic is already familiar with the characters and storylines from their favorite franchises, so Disney will make money from the nostalgia factor alone. These Disney remakes excite fans of all ages because Disney films have been a significant part of many childhoods. Seeing the

same films reimagined in an updated manner with new technology can be a fun way to relive childhood memories. Fans of the original movies that came out in the ‘90s may now have children of their own that they can share their favorite Disney stories with. However, because Disney cannot recreate every scene exactly as they appeared in their original versions, a lot of add-ons and changes end up getting implemented into these remakes. The same people who are excited to see their favorite animated films reimagined are

ultimately disappointed when they realize changes have been added or scenes have been cut. Many speculated about how the live action “Dumbo” was going to implement the scene with the protagonist elephant hallucinating the pink elephants, which were artistically encapsulated in the animated version. In the 2019 live action version, this scene was included, but minimal context was provided which made the entire scene seem out of place and unnecessary. The original “Dumbo” movie received a 98% positive reaction on Rotten

Tomatoes, a website where fans can critique films, while the new 2019 version only received 47%. Even though these remade movies are not created to exactly mirror the original storylines, it is an obvious way for Disney to easily produce and use these films as safety nets in order to attract big audiences willing to pay for the nostalgia factor. These reimagined live action films attract old and new audiences alike, but the time and money invested in these big budget remakes show how Disney lacks new creative plotlines and originality.

Parents need consistency with all children Leniency toward the youngest child has negative effects.

JORDAN MENDOZA Sports Editor

EMILY MIFFLIN Layout Editor

Growing up as an only child, it might seem like you receive all the attention in the world. Parents and family members gather to garner your attention and they do all they can to make you smile. While a life like this seems perfect, everything changes once a new sibling pops up. When it comes to raising children, parents want their child to be successful. Unfortunately, parents who raise multiple children tend to be more lenient toward their youngest kids. This can be detrimental to the well-being of those kids and is a societal issue that needs attention. Of course, this does not apply to all children who are the youngest in their family. Trends have shown that parents tend to not hold younger siblings up to

DANIELLE EVANGELISTA / DAILY TITAN

the same standards as their older counterparts, which leads to negative consequences in the future. A study conducted by economists from Duke University and Washington University found that parents tend to become more relaxed when raising their middle and youngest children. It also showed that parents are more likely not to follow through with punishments and don’t enforce the same rules that were given to older siblings. This can be seen in the form

of lower grade expectations and house rules that are not being enforced for younger siblings. This type of leniency can impact their responsibility later in life. Older siblings who look at this discrepancy usually see this as unfair, and it is. Older siblings have it a lot harder than their younger siblings. They are destined to be the recipients of their parents’ anger and control and tend to face more pressure to be successful and obedient.

Though this pressure and control can be seen as negative, it actually leads to the commitment to succeed from older kids and contributes to why they are generally smarter than their younger siblings. If parents really cared about the success of all of their children, they would take into consideration what is found in these studies and learn to be more consistent in their parenting. Despite reaching such levels of success, the oldest child might not receive the full recognition they

deserve, while the youngest child might receive high praise for doing the simplest of tasks. Just because a firstborn child is successful doesn’t mean parents should become more relaxed with their younger children. Every child needs the same amount of effort and guidance, no matter the order they were born in. Not receiving the same amount of effort can also create the harmful mentality that there are no consequences to their actions. Catherine Salmon, associate psychology professor at the University of Redlands, has researched and written books on families and birth orders. Salmon said that the baby of the family gets the sense of charm for their parents’ teaching style. “Parents are more lenient, so youngest kids tend to be less rules-oriented, and yet they still get lots of attention,” Salmon said in an interview with CNN in 2015. By seeing no consequences, the youngest child may think they are on top of the world and can do no wrong, when in reality, the real world will not care about one’s order of birth. Through observations of general behavior and national statistics, it can be seen that parents need to spend an equal amount of energy and effort on their kids and hold them to the same level of accountability. Parents should uphold their standards, for the sake of all of their children.

Column: Small concerts create intimacy Stadiums don’t offer the chance for a personable moment.

MADELINE GRAY Asst. Opinion Editor

Live music holds a special place in my heart which formed around the age of six, after I went to my very first concert. Attending concerts is always an exhilarating experience. It connects to my passion for music and performance and I seek to deepen that connection with every show I attend. I view going to an artist’s show as a way to further my knowledge of their music and their true identity. I prefer seeing a relatively unknown artist for a cheaper price, in a small venue, with standing room only, than a famous popstar where thousands of people separate me from the artist. Hear me out. I’m not berating those who choose to spend hundreds of dollars to see an artist that they love. I’ve been there and done that. I just don’t see the point when there are better, more affordable options. I’ve attended my fair share of concerts and paid an upwards of $200 to see singers and musicians I love. From Fleetwood Mac at the Dodgers Stadium to Post Malone at The Wiltern, my collection of concerts is diverse and varied. However, there’s something missing when I attend large shows pertaining to audience size and the performer’s status. In this scenario, the dialogue between the attendees and the performer is lacking. I attended a Lion Babe show at The Observatory back in 2016. The

ANITA HUOR / DAILY TITAN

Constellation Room’s crowd consisted of no more than 40 people. The duo put on an incredible show and had those in attendance swaying along to the beat from the minute they stepped onto the stage to the last note. A man standing next to me yelled, “Aye, okay you got it!” to lead singer Jillian Hervey, and she looked over at us from the stage and laughed. That hilarious moment was something that’s etched into my memory of that night. I’ve never had an exchange like that at a concert with over 50,000 people in attendance. While many were sweating under the hot Coachella Valley sun

last weekend capturing videos of the multitude of artists performing, I was sweating under the bright lights of the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles. I went to a small gig to see one of my favorite up-and-coming indie acts, Drugdealer. The tickets were $18 and although I was stuck behind a 6-foot-tall guy for half the show, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Michael Collins, the musician behind the Drugdealer moniker, cracked jokes about the struggles of life between songs off his albums, “The End of Comedy” and the anticipated release, “Raw Honey.” I left the venue that night feeling like I had an understanding of

FEATURES • Free Move-In Truck • Moving & Packing Supplies • Tenant Protection Plans

Collins’ unfiltered personality. It’s refreshing to actually be able to see the faces of the bands performing and witness their interactions rather than having to stare at a monitor to catch a glimpse of their personalities. Being within a few feet from an artist makes me feel as though I can get a sense of who they are as a person. I guess that case can be made for artists of any prominence, but that factor is amplified when I’m at a small gig. The last arena concert I attended was at The Forum in Inglewood. Drake was performing with Migos as a part of the “Aubrey & The Three Migos” tour. I paid close to

$200 for this concert and couldn’t see Drake’s face without monitors following his every move, and the crowd was anything but intimate. It was a great show, but it didn’t leave me feeling like I knew the artist better unlike how I’ve felt after small gigs. I experience the most fulfillment from intimate concerts. It’s an enhanced experience when you truly feel connected to the musicians on stage and feel as if they notice and acknowledge you. While wellknown artists have made steps to bring in extra levels of audience participation, nothing beats an intimate setting shared by the crowd at a gig on a much smaller stage.

Green: Big West Tournament concludes CONTINUED FROM 1 Tygret came into the final round in second place behind Cal State Northridge’s Brianna Steger, but Steger struggled on Wednesday, finishing the day 5-over par 77. Tygret opened the third round by finishing the front nine at even-par 36, but had a strong back nine of the course to take the lead and the win. Despite hitting a bogey, Tygret hit three birdies in the final eight holes, including going back-to-back on the 14th and 15th holes. Tygret was the only participant to shoot under par for the entire tournament. The Big West also gave its conference honors for the year, with UC Davis’ Christine Danielsson named Women’s Golf Player of the Year. Danielsson had three top 10 finishes in the nine events she participated in, and finished the Big West Tournament tied for 11th with a score of 10-over par 226. In the final round, the Paris native had a string of three straight birdies to move her up nine spots from the end of day two. The Titans finished with an overall score of 49-over par 913 along with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and UC Riverside. The Mustangs came into the day at seventh place but jumped into the fifth-place spot with a

third-round best score of 8-over par 296. CSUF had the highest score among the field in the final round of the tournament, finishing the third round with the highest score of the day at 20over par 308. The fourth-place finish comes after the Titans ended the first round on Monday in a tie for first place alongside the 49ers. Leading the way for the Titans was senior Texie Petchel, who finished the tournament at 9-over par 225. Petchel’s 10th place finish made her the only Titan to end the tournament in the top 10. The UNLV transfer came into the final day at sixth, but hit three bogeys in the front nine, and hit another bogey on the 17th hole to end the round at 4-over par 76. Courtney Sharkey was second for the Titans with her 15th place finish at 12-over par 228. After hitting a birdie on the 14th hole for 2-over par for the day, Sharkey hit three bogeys in the final four holes to end the final round at 5-over par 77. Finishing in third for the Titans was Elsa Lundquist, who finished in a tie for 25th at 15over par 231, and was followed by Lisa Djerf’s 27th place finish at 16-over par 232. Felicia Medalla rounded out the CSUF group in 36th place, finishing 24-over par 240.

CSUF softball outscored opponents 39-12 in the last six games at Anderson Family Field. ARNULFO GONZALEZ Asst. Sports Editor

The Cal State Fullerton softball team will play host to Big West-leading Hawaii for a three-game series that begins Friday night. The Titans currently sit at 7-2 in the Big West Conference after winning two of three games against rival Long Beach State. Fullerton is led offensively by outfielder Kelsie Whitmore who is sporting a .429 average in conference play, while infielder Deshea Hill has eight RBIs and two home runs in nine Big West games. CSUF also has two of the best baserunners in Big West play, with Ari Williams leading the conference with seven stolen bases and Whitmore in second with four. The Titans are also currently tied for second best batting average in the conference along with Hawaii at a .295 average, with Long Beach State in first. CSUF is also second in the Big West in RBIs with 39, behind Hawaii’s 47. Fullerton’s pitching staff currently ranks third overall in the Big West and has given up the

second least amount of hits at 54, behind only UC Davis, who has given up 35 hits. The pitching trifecta of Taylor Dockins, Sophie Frost, and Dani Martinez continue to lead the way for the Titans who have a combined 1.84 ERA in conference play. Frost and Martinez are the only pitchers to have a loss, while Dockins has not lost a game yet.

Martinez has picked up her third consecutive Big West freshman of the week honor, making it her fourth time this year she has received the award. Martinez pitched in all three games against Long Beach State, posting a 0.58 ERA in the 12 innings she pitched over the weekend. The freshman has appeared in eight consecutive games for the Titans and leads

ELIZA GREEN / DAILY TITAN

the team with 109 ⅔ innings pitched. Since the Titans match-up against UC Santa Barbara on March 31, Martinez has recorded at least two strikeouts against her opponents in the last seven games. Martinez’s team-leading 22 strikeouts are also good enough to place her in the top three for strikeouts among all Big West pitchers.

Hawaii has Callee Heen to thank for their surging offense as she currently leads the team with 12 RBIs and three home runs. Hawaii’s pitching staff is also off to a very strong start as they have a 1.05 ERA as a whole, behind the efforts of Brittany Hitchcock, Izzy Dino and Emily Klee. Hitchcock is a perfect 6-0 after having started six games, with all of them being complete games. When these teams played last season during Big West conference play, the Titans swept Hawaii and outscored them 21-6. Frost was a prominent figure last time they played as she was the winning pitcher for two out of the three games against Hawaii last season. Frost went 11 innings in her two starts against Hawaii last year and she gave up eight hits and four earned runs. She also struck out eight batters between those two starts and only gave up two home runs. Frost currently has a 3-1 record in the conference and she has 20.1 innings pitched. She also has nine strikeouts alongside the one home run she has given up. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. from Anderson Family Field.

Revitalized squad pays a visit to Hawaii

CSUF baseball hope to improve on its 3-3 conference record.

MATTHEW MENDOZA Asst. Sports Editor

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team will travel to the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu for a three-game series with the Rainbow Warriors today. The Rainbow Warriors (1419) enter the series with a 4-5 record in Big West Conference play, while the Titans (15-17) sit at 3-3. Last week, the Rainbow Warriors faced off against UC Riverside, losing two of the three games to the Highlanders. The Titans are coming off a win in the series finale against San Diego State which resulted in CSUF losing the first two games to the Aztecs. Last season, the Titans took two of three games from the Rainbow Warriors, outscoring Hawaii 18-9 in the series. During the series, Titans ace Tanner Bibee did not make an appearance; however, he is expected to pitch this time around. In his last start, Bibee went only five innings, allowing four earned runs while striking out a season-low two batters. Bibee has started nine games so far, posting a 4-5 record to go along with a 3.68 ERA while striking out 52 batters. Bibee has shown his ability to be durable as his 58 ⅔ innings pitched ranks No. 1 in the Big West. Dylan Thomas has appeared in 12 games for the Rainbow Warriors, with a 2-3 record on only three starts. Thomas has logged 38 ⅓ innings pitched this season, the most on the team. Thomas holds a 2.35 ERA while striking out 40.

ELIZA GREEN / DAILY TITAN

Sophomore pitcher Tanner Bibee has a team-leading 3.68 ERA among the starting pitching staff in nine appearances this season.

CSUF’s Mitchell Berryhill enters the series as one of the hottest players in the country, his .443 batting average ranks fourth in the nation. The center fielder has reached base safely in 41 consecutive games dating back to last season. In addition to the on-base streak, Berryhill is currently riding a nine-game

hitting streak and has recorded multiple hits in seven of those nine games. Hawaii’s Daylen Calicdan has been their most productive player in conference play. Calicdan’s 10 runs scored in Big West play ranks No. 1 in the conference. Calicdan ranks second in hits(16), doubles (5) and is fifth in total bases in Big

West contests. In road games this season, Cal State Fullerton holds a 6-5 record away. The Titans offense has done significantly better away from home, posting a .325 batting average while averaging 7.9 runs a game, compared to a .267 average at home while only averaging 5.1 runs per contest. The Rainbow Warriors have

won 12 of their 26 games at home on the season while averaging 5.7 runs per game to go along with a .260 batting average. The three-game series will start on Thursday at 9:35 p.m. with game two also scheduled at 9:35 p.m. on Friday. The series finale will start on Saturday at 4:05 p.m.
