A shooting at a synagogue near San Diego left a woman dead and three people injured

last Saturday, the last day of the Jewish holiday Passover. The San Diego County Sheriff’s department said they identified 19-year-old John Earnest as the gunman who opened fire on the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Poway, California, with an AR-15 style rifle while yelling anti-semitic slurs. Earnest was booked for

murder in the first degree, three counts of attempted murder in the first degree and was taken into custody without incident. The San Diego County Sheriff’s department said they believe Earnest worked alone in the attack. “We don’t condone threats and acts of violence against places of worship. We are a

county that is welcoming of all faiths,” said Bill Gore, the San Diego County Sheriff, in a press release about the shooting. Among the casualties were: Almog Peretz, 34; Noya Dahan, 8; Lori Gilbert Kaye, 60 (deceased); and Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was shot in both hands. SEE FAITH

Four Cal State Fullerton students won the 33rd annual CSU Student Research Competition, which recognizes students for their achievement in research throughout the CSUs. CSUF winners and their respective fields are: Jessica Barragan and Kendra Paquette, who won second place in Behavioral and Social Sciences undergraduate research; Evelyn Bond, who won first place in Biological and Agricultural Science graduate research and Thilakraj Shivakumar, who won first place in Engineering and Computer Science graduate research. The competition was a two-day event that took place last Friday and Saturday. Students presented their research to a panel of jurors. Each CSU campus was allowed to send 10 delegates to compete and given 20 minutes to present. SEE SCIENCE 2

Comic enthusiast creates a haven for geeks

Enrique Muñoz, owner of Comic Hero University, opened his shop in December 2012 and currently operates next to the Fullerton Station.

Owner Enrique Muñoz has turned his hobby into a lifelong career. YVONNE VILLASENOR Staff Writer

Tucked away at the Fullerton train station is a gem for comic enthusiasts. This place, known exclusively as Comic Hero University, has an entrance that is covered with comic posters and iconic superhero symbols.

Visitors are not only welcomed by a Spider-Man kiddie ride, but a smiling owner who can often be seen sporting Spider-Man apparel. Enrique Munoz opened the store in December 2012. Comic Hero University specializes in supplying new and rare comics. Munoz decided to open his own store after realizing his potential of making a living with his previous experience at convention circuits and comic shops. Inside the store, a red sign guides

guests to an arcade room with pinball machines and multiple 90s arcade cabinets. The store’s tagline is “Not just comics, but community.” Munoz said that he wanted to create a space for customers to hang out and enjoy their interests without any judgment or elitist behavior. Munoz has a regular trio of customers who come in weekly to chat about comics. HeMunoz recalled one customer who told him they appreciated how approachable and nonjudgmental he was when

talking about comics. “I feel more rewarded dealing with the customers on (a)the regular basis — that these people continue to come back, people continue to want to talk to me and they continue to engage me,” Munoz said. In the second grade, Munoz’s teacher told him he would not amount to anything if he could not speak English. Munoz came from a Spanish-speaking family, and was frustrated with his inability to speak and read English.

YVONNE VILLASENOR / DAILY TITAN

His ability to understand English registered when he recognized his favorite superhero, Spider-Man. “There was something about the comic book — the picture and the word. That particular combination is what clicked in my brain, and that’s what got me to understand reading comprehension.,” Munoz said. “ So for me, Spider-Man is and always will be my hero because he’s the one who taught me how to speak.” SEE HERO

Science: Scholars present new discoveries CONTINUED FROM

According to Nathalie Carrick, faculty fellow for Student Creative Activities and Research , approximately 50 CSUF students participated in a research competition during the last week of February to present their research and win the opportunity to compete in last week’s competition. Ten of those participants were selected to represent CSUF in last weekend’s competition. Saul Lopez, a CSUF mathematics graduate student, presented his research on the economical generating sets of the monoid of partial order preserving injections; a mathematical structure that has limited research behind it. “We combined abstract algebra, which is a field in mathematics, we combined combinatorics which is its own field,” Lopez said. “And we also combined graph theory, so we combined three fields in one.” The competitions were organized into 22 sessions with 10 different fields, two of which had graduates and undergraduates who competed against each other in the same session. To prepare for the presentations, CSUF students met and trained with faculty and mentors. Shivakumar said he felt confident presenting thanks to his mentors and appreciates that he gets the opportunity to present his work. “I always wanted to have this opportunity to present my work so that everyone knows it,” Shivakumar said. “This is a great platform for me to extend my project.” Carrick, who organized the event at CSUF alongside Dr. Terri Patchen, another faculty fellow, said students who win the award also receive a cash prize. First place was awarded $500. The money doesn’t have to be used specifically to further the student’s research, Carrick said. “It’s just a prize.”

Two students from each of the 22 sessions were selected as winners of that session’s competition. Judel-May Enriquez, one of the jurors for behavioral and social sciences, said there are several criteria they use to judge a presentation. “We’re looking for the clarity of their research, the methodology, the discussion of the

results and also future limitations and implications,” Enriquez said. “Also, their overall organization and creativeness and also how it helps our society in general.” CSUF psychology major and competition participant Kendra Paquette said she wants her research in the behavioral and social sciences field to help keep innocent people from being

accused of crimes they didn’t commit. Co-presenting with CSUF alumna Jessica Barragan, their research focused on testing eyewitness memory through different police lineups. “We investigated eyewitness memory for suspects who wear disguises,” Paquette said. “We talked about more subtle forms, such as a baseball cap or clear glasses because these

forms aren’t seen as suspicious and they still have effects on memory.” The awards ceremony took place in the TSU Pavilion Carrick and Patchen handed out awards after a message from President Fram Virjee and Dr. Ganesh Raman, the CSU assistant vice chancellor for research.

Faith: Club speaks on religious attack 1 The shooting occurred six months after the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that left 11 people dead. The assailant, identified as Robert D. Bowers, also carried an AR-15 style rifle, according to The New York Times. At Cal State Fullerton, the crime was deeply felt by the Jewish community in the CSUF Hillel student organization. CSUF Hillel is a club that aims to promote acceptance by teaching Judaism to any student who wants to join. They hold Shabbats, or Sabbath, on campus and practice Jewish holidays. On Monday, their table on TitanWalk was surrounded by boards detailing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the flag of Israel and LGBTQ rainbow flag flying on their canopy. The club was joined by Daniel Levine, a CSUF alumnus, who wore a kippah to encourage people to ask questions about the Jewish community. “I actually grew up in San Diego, so I actually knew a lot of people that were affected. I never met the woman that was killed, but I knew a lot of people that were very close to her. Obviously it’s shocking, and you never think that it’ll happen in your community but I mean with the trend of the world in the past couple of years, I wouldn’t say people were surprised,” Levine said. In Earnest’s nine-page online manifesto detailing his life and CONTINUED FROM

white supremacism, he wrote that he was inspired by Australian white nationalist Brenton Tarrant’s attacks on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, according to the Los Angeles Times. The news prompted Levine to reflect on the internet’s effect on the Passover shooting. “I really think the internet is a double-edged sword because people have access to information more than ever before in history,” said Levine. “There aren’t a lot of Jews in San Diego. Perhaps the shooter had never met a Jew, and the only thing they knew about Judaism was what they were reading on the internet.” Luke Rodriguez, a member of the Hillel club, said that he had a friend who went to high school with the shooter and knew someone who attended the synagogue as a kid. “I just had a Passover, the first night of Passover ran at Chapman, and I noticed there were two police officers there, and I didn’t think anything of it at first. Then I realized that this is the new reality of Jewish spaces,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez added that people outside of the Jewish community can help by standing up to bigotry whenever they see it. “One thing I know about the Jewish community is that they’re a resilient bunch, and as painful as it is, it always brings the Jewish community together,” Rodriguez said. “It hurts to hear, I’m not surprised by it, but the Jewish community will stay strong.”

Hero: Uses his powers to unite the community

YVONNE VILLASENOR / DAILY TITAN

Enrique Muñoz learned English through reading Spider-Man comics growing up in a Spanish-speaking household. He has made a profession out of his passion for graphic novels. CONTINUED FROM

At the time, Munoz’s grandfather wanted him to pick up a hobby, so he collected stamps, but ultimately, had no interest in it. When a 7-year-old Munoz stepped into a comic store, it became evident what would become his life-long passion. For Munoz, his favorite superhero would try his best to put a smile on someone’s face if they were having a bad day, so he tries to do the same for those who walk in. “It’s kind of like I’m a bartender to the geek culture because people do vent a lot about the current state of what comic books are, and for me,

community has always been a big part in what I want the store to be,” Munoz said. Munoz reflected on being in a comic book store for the first time, and said the experience was absolute magic. When Munoz shared his experience in his first comic book store with Stan Lee he responded warmly, and encouraged him to keep reading comics. Growing up, Munoz and his family frequently visited a comic shop in Rosemead, which would be the inspiration behind opening his own store 30 years later. Munoz attributes his bold and shamelessly silly personality as a retailer to his

experience in theater. He worked with a children’s entertainment company after high school and became involved with the Maverick Theater in Fullerton. He has been performing for the theater since 2003 when it was located at the Outlets at Orange. Brian Newell, owner of the theater, has known Munoz since its early years, even giving him a role as Benvolio in “Romeo and Juliet.” Since then, they have teamed up on many productions, and Newell has supported Munoz’s endeavours as an entrepreneur. Newell provided Munoz with a space to host conventions at the theater and helped

him relocate his shop in May 2013. “When Enrique started his comic book store, he was like a reference, like a Wikipedia, and he’s really educated me. He’s got me excited about it. I’m now getting comics from him,” Newell said. Dan Plegel, a friend and creative collaborator, met Munoz in 2013 at a test screening of “Dumb and Dumber To.” Plegel was in the midst of looking for a local comic shop one night when he discovered Munoz owned a shop located five minutes away from his house. “I came here and I just liked the aesthetic of Enrique’s shop and the vibe of this place. And him, I found out he was … just

a great actor, comedian and I got along with him,” Plegel said. Munoz said that it would be “absolutely rad” if generations of family members visited his comic book store. “If things work out the way that they do and I’m still running this comic shop 20 to 30 years later, and I’m an old man sitting behind the register and this guy walks in, and he sees me, and he’s like, ‘Hey son, you see that guy? He’s the guy I bought (my) very first comic book from.’ I think that would be absolutely cool that this guy still remembers me and he still buys from me, and he’s bringing his son,” Munoz said.

Opinion 5

TUESDAY APRIL 30, 2019

The Presidential race will be a circus Biden’s allegations will harm his chances in this election cycle.

SOPHIA ACEVEDO Managing Editor

Last Thursday, former Vice President Joe Biden announced that he will run for president in the 2020 election. With his recent announcement, he will be part of a highly contested Democratic race that includes current Senate members Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris. Mirroring the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, history is bound to repeat itself. In the upcoming months, it seems likely that the Democratic party will become full of angry mudslinging and bland personalities. If this isn’t acknowledged now, then it may make it detrimental to the future of our election process. The presidential nomination process is an absolute clown show which, at times, can become almost too unbearable to watch. Currently, there are 22 candidates running for president in 2020, with a majority of them being Democrats. With the abundance of candidates, it wouldn’t be surprising if the candidates go for each other’s necks to take the presidency. According to a poll by The Washington Post and ABC, Biden is the leading Democratic candidate for the 2020 election, with Sanders in second. Biden has run for President

twice before, and while he’s leading in some polls, anything can happen. He’s faced allegations where women have stated that they felt uncomfortable around Biden due to inappropriate physical contact, and those allegations will likely be brought up again to smear his campaign. Similarly, other candidates will likely use each other’s scandals and previous failures to promote further discord within the party instead of focusing on policies. Under normal circumstances, disputes are expected, but

typically don’t hinder the nomination process. However, with multiple candidates taking part in the nomination process this year, this discord will worsen and prevent people from getting an actual understanding of the candidates and their beliefs. Name recognition can be challenging for some of the candidates. For Sanders, he is the most recognized out of all the declared and potential candidates at 99%, according to a poll from Morning Consult. Others like Amy Klobuchar or Wayne Messam, who may

identify more with voters, can potentially get lost in the crowd due to the saturated amount of Democratic candidates. The most worrisome situation that occurs with having so many candidates is that no true frontrunner will truly arise to beat the Republican presidential candidate. Democrats are under the impression that they need to redefine themselves and undergo a crazy nomination cycle and rise like a phoenix from the ashes. However, from the candidates who have announced that they’re running for the

presidency, none at the moment have the power to take control of the party. It may be early in the 2020 election process, but no candidate so far seems to show the popularity or ideals that will unite all the Democrats with a future of hopeful promise. Hopefully that may change, and the candidates will deliver some surprising moments. However, the only thing that may come from the Democratic nomination process is a trainwreck of overconfident people who aren’t prepared to deliver what liberal voters want.

Missionary efforts are not humanitarian Spiritual aide does not help those in need of real support.

ANGELINA DEQUINA Asst. Opinion Editor

Missionaries emphasize the fact that the work they do is a service of God, all while ignoring the fact that their humanitarian aid should serve the people whom they seek to help. By putting God at the forefront of their agenda, missionaries insinuate that what they do is merely religious indoctrination in the guise of humanitarian aid. Being a humanitarian should be based on helping people in destitute situations attain a better quality of life, rather than subduing people into western faith. In a forum hosted by the Pew Research Center about missionary work in Iraq, speaker Bruce Wilkinson spoke about the resources missionaries offered to impoverished citizens in Iraq that other humanitarians don’t. Wilkinson, who worked for a Christian humanitarian group called World Vision, quoted a book by former President Jimmy Carter titled, “Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft,” that stated missionaries are more adept at helping people because they are able to address people’s moral and spiritual needs “beyond the boundaries of their own faith traditions.” He added that Islamic leaders

tend to disapprove of the secularization of the West more than Christianity itself, but failed to acknowledge that some Muslims believe that the Bible is partially the word of man, and not God. This type of thinking promotes the idea that western religion is superior to other types of religion, which is ethnocentrism. People in need of humanitarian aid can only learn one thing from those who have ethnocentric viewpoints: their culture and way of life is wrong. Cultural imperialism takes root and stunts the growth of cultures that could flourish with the right nourishment. The types of situations that missionaries encourage are similar to religious oppression

that Native Americans faced in the early 1800s, as they were forced to give up their native practices and names while attending Christian and Catholic boarding schools. It is not the job of a humanitarian to decide what religion people from another country should follow. They are supposed to provide them with the means to live a life that can expand upon the traditions they already know and cherish. Wilkinson’s reference to the book criticized the morale of non-religious humanitarians. Yet, non-religious humanitarians should need no other reason to deliver aid other than their basic compassion. Missionaries follow the word of God. Although this doesn’t

diminish their compassion, it does influence the way their compassion is presented to other cultures. The spiritual care of people in impoverished countries should be the least of a humanitarian’s worries. According to a press release by the U.N.’s Social, Cultural and Humanitarian Committee, people who suffer from poverty, hunger and poor health are less likely to have human rights. The solution to problems such as these may not be simple, but this does not mean that the default option should be religion. In the same press release, a representative of Thailand said that an important aspect of developing human rights is freedom of choice and conscience.

ANITA HUOR / DAILY TITAN

People from developing countries cannot gain free will if they are oppressed by both their country and their aides. What missionaries refer to as a humanitarian mission is essentially a conversion outlet that undermines the meaning of being a humanitarian. There are about 135.3 million people in need of relief according to the Global Humanitarian Overview of 2018. This statistic is an outcry for people to help others, not because it’s what God told them to do, but because it’s what needs to be done for the good of humanity. Missionaries need to put aside archaic traditions and embrace the humanity of humanitarian work.

Former guard to work out for Atlanta Hawks Kyle Allman Jr. will train in preparation for the NBA draft in June. JORDAN MENDOZA Sports Editor

The Atlanta Hawks announced on Monday that former Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball guard Kyle Allman Jr. will be part of the organization’s pre-draft workout ahead of the NBA Draft on June 20. Atlanta begin their pre-draft workouts on Tuesday, and will feature Allman Jr. and five other players eligible for the draft. Joining the former CSUF guard are Jordan Caroline and Tre’Shawn Thurman of Nevada; Donta Hall of Alabama; Markell Johnson of North Carolina State and Chris Silva of South Carolina. The Hawks missed the NBA playoffs for the second straight year after finishing the regular season at 29-53, last in the southeast division, and 12th place in the Eastern Conference. With the

NBA draft lottery over the horizon, the Hawks have a 10.5% chance of landing a top three draft pick in the first round, according to the NBA. Atlanta also owns the 35th overall pick in the second round of the draft. This won’t be the first time Allman Jr. has trained with professional teams, previously practicing with NBA stars like Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley and Memphis Grizzlies guard Avery Bradley. Allman Jr. played a crucial role for the Titans in his senior season. He played in 34 of Fullerton’s 35 games this year and started in every game except in CSUF’s loss at Nebraska in December. This year, the Brooklyn native led the Titans on time spent on the court, averaging 35.2 minutes and 17.5 points per game, the team’s second best behind senior guard Khalil Ahmad. Fullerton finished its recent season at 16-18, but its 10-6 conference record got the Titans the No. 3 seed in the Big West

Tournament. CSUF made their way to the conference championship game for the second straight season, but ultimately fell to UC Irvine, 92-64. The Titan season continued as they accepted an invite to

the CollegeInsider.com Tournament to make three straight postseason appearance for the first time in school history. In the Riley Wallace Classic, part of the first round of the tournament, Fullerton ended their

season against Cal State Bakersfield, 66-58. The last Titan selected in the NBA Draft was in 2004, when Pape Sow was drafted as the 47th overall pick in the second round by the Miami Heat.

Men’s golf falls behind in title race CSUF ended day one of the Big West Tournament six strokes behind UC Irvine. DEMETRIOUS HERRERA Asst. Sports Editor

ARNULFO GONZALEZ Asst. Sports Editor

Springboarded by two topthree tournament finishes in April, the Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team entered their final tournament of the season as the top-seeded school participating in the Big West Championships when they tee’d off in Lihue, Hawaii on Monday

morning. However, in the first day of the Big West Championships progressed, the Titans would not be able to cash in on their compelling string of April performances, ultimately falling to fourth overall at 16-over par 592 as day one of the two-day tournament drew to a close. UC Irvine currently sits in first place with a score of 10over par 586. Individually, UC Santa Barbara’s Zach Smith is in first place at 2-under par 142. For the Titans, difficulties began to arise as early as the tournament began, eventually landing them in seventh place at the

end of the first round amid eight other teams.
