As students strolled through Titan Walk toward the last Associated Students Farmers’ Market of the semester, Matt Shockley’s voice and guitar

strums could be heard soothing distressed and tired souls in anticipation of finals week. As part of this week’s market, ASI hosted the stress-relieving event to give students the opportunity to enjoy free food and music under the sun. While only a few students were present when Shockley began his performance, the Becker Amphitheater quickly filled up as those passing by were drawn to

the artist’s alluring sound. Kaysha Kenney, wastage and energy coordinator for the Environmental Sustainability Commission, said the event was a collaborative effort to showcase other aspects of what ASI does. Kenney said the event was a way to give artists a stage while integrating the Farmers’ Market in the background. The first 100 guests in

attendance were given food vouchers to be used at any of the Farmers’ Market vendors. From carne asada fries and tamales to pupusas and empanadas, a wide variety of fresh food was available. Tables and patches of grass around the Becker Amphitheater were occupied by students hungry for good food and music. SEE RELAX

According to a study conducted by the California Budget and Policy Center, California State University tuition has increased by 1,360% since 1979, accounting for inflation. Forty years ago, students paid $500 a year, adjusted for inflation, to attend a CSU, according to the study. For the 2018-2019 academic school year, students paid on average, $7,303, to attend a CSU according to averaged tuition and fees data from all 23 campuses. “College tuition is rising quite faster than inflation, and it has been for a long time,” said Nick Huntington-Klein, an assistant professor of economics. CSUF students pay a slightly lower number than the CSU average, when adding the base tuition to attend a CSU for the academic year ($5,742), with CSUF 2019-2020 academic year additional campus fees ($1180.72), the academic year totals to $6,922.72.

The unknown cycling champion of CSUF

Senior Imeh Nsek won the 2018 Collegiate Criterium National Championship. DEMETRIOUS HERRERA Asst. Sports Editor

It is no secret that, as a well-documented commuter campus with nearly 40,000 students and just over 1,400 faculty members, Cal State Fullerton has long been cultivating an environment where students meander through overcrowded walkways and spend a majority of their collegiate careers quietly tucked away as nameless faces in the backs of classrooms, slowly slipping through the cracks. With the grim outlook surrounding the highly-populated and arguably under-engaged student body at CSUF, one of the ways which Fullerton has attempted to remedy the issue of a largely unconnected student body is by propagandizing the idea of Titan pride through highlighting their best and brightest on campus. However, for Imeh Nsek, the CSUF cycling club member and treasurer, a void in Titan pride and a feeling of invisibility as an influential cyclist at CSUF have persisted for him, despite being crowned a national champion on the cycling stage after placing first in the Collegiate Criterium National Championships in 2018. For CSUF and a number of other college campuses, the foremost of these pride-instilling practices involves the emphasis of school sports, their most successful programs and their most highly touted individual athletes. When asked if anyone on campus had congratulated Nsek on his accomplishments on the national collegiate stage, he said no one had approached him. “I see the kids from the cycling club around, sometimes

and they’d be like, ‘Oh, this is the guy,’ and whoever I was walking with, they’d have to be like, ‘Bro, you know who this guy is,’ but it was only like three people,” Nsek said. Yet, for the champion, the lack of affection from a

distant student body came as no surprise. “It’s something that I knew and kind of expected by not playing a mainstream sport like basketball, baseball or football,” Nsek said. The 20-year-old economics

major also gave credence to the fact that belonging to a commuter campus likely contributed to his sprint-to-win national victory falling on deaf Titan ears. Deprived of the campus recognition deserving of an athlete

The Associated Students board of directors passed a resolution in support of students with disabilities yesterday, to change several ASI policies surrounding the Office of Disability Support Services department and implementing new trainings for ASI staff. Deanna Yadollahi, a member of Abled Advocators, a campus club dedicated to disability awareness, presented the resolution to the board along with Jessica Sherman, one of the

resolution’s sponsors in ASI. The resolution called for new trainings for faculty and other student organizations on campus; an encouragement for increased fundraising; more communication between ASI, students and the program; and the creation of a space on campus for disabled students. Liset Gomez, president of the club, told the board an anecdote of her experiences, calling on Cal State Fullerton to do a better job at promoting disability awareness and creating more accessible campus accommodations. “I’ve been here since fall of 2015, and I’ve been struggling. I’m still struggling. My struggles have turned into anger, into resentment, and that is no way to live,” Gomez said. “Cal State Fullerton does not support

students with disabilities.” Yadollahi talked about student dissatisfaction with the program’s current administration, sharing that some students had responded negatively as the program has changed. “Since we had our new director there has been changes made that haven’t been announced before they were implemented. Many students have responded with retaliation and decided to not even use their accommodations because they feel so fed up with a department that they feel is not representing them,” Yadollahi said. The resolution asked for more funding to be allocated to the program, which is currently unable to keep up with some of their required standards, and for the funding to come from more

fundraising events and a higher ASI commitment, according to Yadollahi. Students used to have distraction free testing rooms, but the regulation has since been changed, according to Yadollahi. “On this campus, we have such a lack of resources for that department that we are essentially having students go into a room together (while) taking exams. The accommodation was changed to be the language of distraction reduced instead of distraction-free, which is essentially the equivalent of taking your exam in the classroom setting,” Yadollahi said. Yadollahi also calls for a new student advisory board for the program. The board would be responsible for addressing student

concerns and ensuring their needs are being met with accomodations by the university. For more specific disabilities, the resolution also includes that ASI will stream all board of directors and the Titan Student Center’s board of trustees meetings with closed captioning and visual descriptions. Jose Castillo, the Inter-Club Council representative for the club, said that along with the passing of the resolution, the program has seen positive changes in the past academic year. “In all honesty, the whole environment — it’s changed. About a year ago, maybe one or two people would acknowledge that you were even there, and now, there’s more of a friendly environment,” Castillo said.

Fundraiser donates $4,000 to foster kids Students at event pack duffle bags with school supplies for children. RIVKA PRUSS

Asst. Copy Editor

The Center for Scholars and the School of Nursing hosted the second annual fundraiser to help support foster youth at the Fullerton Arboretum on Tuesday afternoon. The event was held in honor of National Foster Care Month, which recognizes all those who help foster youth find permanent homes. Students, staff, faculty, former foster kids and members of the Orange County community were invited to decorate duffle bags for foster youth. The bags were filled with a blanket, stuffed animal, a coloring set and toiletries like toothpaste and mouthwash, along with a personalized handwritten note. Toiletries were chosen because foster youth often do not have these types of basic necessities, said Dr. Charrica Miller, lead of the diversity support team in the school of nursing. Miller, who personally went through foster care, helped organize this event with Ann Marie Herrera, who also was a foster youth. The duffle bags were created with the purpose of showing support to the foster youth community. Herrera said that in foster care, she often had to move using trash bags, “It’s a really sad feeling having to put all your belongings in a trash bag.” “We just want them to have something in addition to them not bouncing from home to home using trash bags, we also want to have something in the bag to make them feel special and loved,” Miller said.

CSUF students decorate individual signs that were placed on duffle bags for foster kids.

This year, the fundraiser tripled the department’s goal at $4,000 raised, as last year’s event raised about $1,400. Miller credited the success due to the department’s partnership with Guardian Scholars. Guardian Scholars is a program that supports current and former foster youth exiting the foster care system by providing resources and counseling. Cal State Fullerton was the first campus in the nation to have a foster youth program, which started in 1988.

Marysol Mendoza, a foster youth Guardian Scholar specialist at the center, said about 100 foster youth have been identified in their program. Carmela Velasquez, a business major, is part of Abrego Future Scholars, which supports first-year, first-generation students like herself, said the fundraiser was impactful for her. “I love kids and being able to help them by actually doing the simple thing of creating duffle bags, it seems like a great way

to give back to the community,” Velasquez said. Mendoza said that the duffle bags will be donated within the next two weeks to two foster agencies, located in the San Bernardino and Riverside counties.. To fundraise and provide materials for the duffle bags, the campus partnered with Together We Rise, a non-profit organization for foster youth. Jovanny Barragan, a Guardian Scholar who volunteers for Together We Rise, said he

was glad to contribute to the fundraiser. “I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to help other foster youth because as a former foster youth, nobody ever did this kind of stuff, or I wasn’t aware of it so I am glad that I get to help out my community and where I come from,” Barragan said. Esmeralda Figueroa contributed to this article.

Money: $500 to $7,303 in tuition CONTINUED FROM 1 This does not include the recent increase in the CSUF parking permit price. By comparison, tuition for UCs is six times greater than it was in 1979. Currently, one year at a UC costs $14,400. In 1979, it cost $2,200, adjusted for inflation, according to the Sacramento Bee. “I think that education should come at a lower cost, especially for students who are in need of financial aid,” said Jessica Cruz, a business administration major. Cruz said she did not bother applying to UCs because she thought it was too expensive. “It doesn’t really matter if its a CSU or a UC, everyone should have equal opportunity of financial aid, and I think tuition shouldn’t go up. It doesn’t matter the status of the school, even if it’s a UC,” Cruz said. On campus student housing is affected for both UC and CSU students — with a raise of $4,000 more, totaling nearly $14,000 per year, according to the Sacramento Bee. Student housing that once cost $9,800 in 1979 is now teetering toward $13,800, according to the study. Huntington-Klein said a combination of declining funds and increasing costs of running a college have contributed to the tuition

increase. “There is declining state support and so universities have to make up for that funding by charging students more rather than getting it from the state,” Huntington-Klein said. The study also stated that California students graduate with more than $20,000 in debt. “I think $20,000 is a lot, and it’s definitely a lot to straddle on a young person as they’re beginning their career,” said James Ma, a business administration major. Ma said the point of a college investment is if it prepares students to confidently enter the workforce after they graduate. “However, we know the reality is that most students are either under qualified or overqualified for their jobs when they come out. They’re underemployed whenever they come out of college and most aren’t able to pay back their student debt,” Ma said. Huntington-Klein said a lot of states are pursuing the free community college movement as a solution to climbing tuition costs. “Extending that to four year colleges may or may not be something that’s on the horizon, obviously that would make things cheaper for students. It’s got to be paid for at some point, which would come from the taxpayer,” Huntington-Klein said.

Relax: Relieving stress before the last tests

Matt Shockley performed a mix of pop song covers and original compositions that showcased his ‘blue eyes soul’ style in the Becker Amphitheater for Final Fest at the Farmers’ Market.

CONTINUED FROM 1 Campus construction began around the quad in front of the Humanities Building last year, and ASI’s weekly Farmers’ Market moved to the highly circulated space between Titan Walk and the Titan Student Union. With this event being a campus favorite, it was only right to celebrate its conclusion through acoustic entertainment, Kenney said. Matt Shockley, a Long Beach native, played a mix of pop songs, along with original compositions during his hourlong set. Originally from Griffin, Georgia, Shockley said moving to California was a culturally eye-opening experience that influenced his music. Shockley

has been playing guitar for almost 25 years and performs for various venues. Shockley warmed the crowd up with acoustic covers of “Slow Hands,” by Niall Horan, and “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” by Charlie Puth and played a collection of original songs Even though clouds shielded the dimly-lit sky, striking rays of sunshine made a brief appearance when Shockley sang the chorus to his song, “Rendezvous.” “I’ll give you guys country for a second,” Shockley said, as he took out a harmonica to play some Americana. He followed up with a cover of “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Shockley transitioned to

more soothing music, as he serenaded the audience with “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran, the ultimate heartbreak song of 2017. He finished his set with a cover of “Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics as he broke out in a spirited guitar strum solo. “I liked the music selection, and the acoustic was played very well,” said Brian Montgomery, a computer science major. Shockley’s strong set list exhibited his blue-eyed soul style while his musical talent captivated the audience. “My style is a mix between pop rock and Southern rock. I do have some soul or some R&B influences as well that I picked up once I came to LA,” Shockley said.

Marco Vargas, the concert coordinator for ASI, said they usually book up to three talents, but had only one for this event because they had to devote more attention to this past Saturday’s spring concert. Even though it wasn’t the spring concert, the event gave the audience an intimate experience with the artist. ASI’s Farmers’ Market is not just an opportunity to bring more food choices to students but is a way to engage the community on campus, Kenney said. “I love the diversity of people and I just love that there are so many walks of life coming together in sort of a melting pot,” Shockley said. Shockley showcased his Southern rock roots by

seamlessly mixing his style with an assortment of soul, pop, R&B and country songs. Contrary to the black or white attitudes of his upbringing, his music and performance were nothing short of colorful. Shockley used music as an outlet for his creativity and a way to relieve stress. Students who originally stopped for free food were pleasantly surprised by Shockley’s performance and stayed for a brief moment of relaxation ahead of finals week. “It’s laid back, it’s the last one, just chill out before finals,” Vargas said. “He was like incredible because it’s just him and his guitar and that’s all.”

Column: Let’s talk about sex education I was not taught about the importance of sexual health.

KRISTINA GARCIA Lifestyle Editor

My parents never talked to me or my siblings about anything sexual. Although they would never actually admit it, in my parents’ minds, I’m their baby girl, and abstinence is key. They assumed that any questions I may have had were answered through those “informative” sex education classes taught at school. Even though I’ve been oblivious about the topic of sex and what it entails, I don’t blame my parents for skipping that conversation. What I really blame is sex education being too vague, and for the chapters in our books which are intended to teach us about sex in being skipped or only focused on for a day. I blame the education system for not prioritizing their youth, and instead deciding to throw children into a ditch to try and figure out everything on their own. At 10 years old, I remember sitting in an auditorium filled with other girls my age, a school teacher flinging around a sanitary pad and watching a poorly directed, outdated puberty video and feeling completely shocked. In grade school, we got a one to two hour session about the changes happening to our body, and how it’s normal to grow hair “down there,” along with other stereotypical puberty-related information. They gave out deodorant sticks as a subtle nod to say, “You smell like trash, so y’all are gonna learn today.” The instructor, video, vagina diagrams and more, seemed to educate the room full of snickering girls who were about to reach their preteens. However, this wasn’t enough for me. In no part of the presentation did it talk about safe sex, about ovulation or about the sexually transmitted diseases that can creep up on oblivious and sexually-active individuals. Neither was the lurking obligation of Pap smears mentioned at any point. Throughout my life, I have had two long-term, serious boyfriends. Both were educated by their parents on information about sex, and were also confused as to why I knew so little. As I continued to grow up, I wanted to learn more because I didn’t want a simple fact about condoms to be my overarching knowledge about sex and everything it encompasses. It made

me feel foolish and naive to be a woman who knew so little about her own body, while everyone else around me seemed like sexually active bunnies who only worried about pleasure and not getting pregnant. Due to the lack of true sex education, schools didn’t teach me. I tried asking my friends, but they just ended up teasing me for not having sex yet, which didn’t help. The obvious solution for anyone curious is using the internet, utilizing school nurses, or anything else. But my problem wasn’t that I didn’t know about these resources, it was that I didn’t know what questions to ask. If I was taught what sex was and what I, as a woman, was supposed to know about my body when it came to sex, I could’ve done my own research. Since this was not the case, I didn’t ask questions because I didn’t know what I’m supposed to be asking about. Naturally, when I realized that I knew little to nothing, I turned to YouTube for some answers. SexGod283, please tell me more basic information I already knew about condoms in your low-quality, shakey video. WillieWraps69, please stop uneasily smiling at the camera and continue to be another useless YouTuber preaching the same old condom protection policy. Just when I was going to call it quits, shut my laptop and throw it across the room, I came across Layla Martin. At first glance, it seems like Layla’s videos are just about the different ways to find pleasure amongst yourself and your partner. But she informed viewers about what to be careful for, latex allergies and even talked about the mentality and stigmas toward sex. Her videos made me feel less like a dummy and more like a sexually-conscious woman. Although her videos were helpful, there was still a large void of information that needed to be filled. Years later, as I’m now a sophomore in college who is surrounded by better friends who actually talk to me instead of letting me be a lost cause. I’m learning about the information I need to ask about. I asked them my questions and they realized the insane amount of misinformation I had, and were concerned about me. The best advice they gave me was: Make an appointment with Planned Parenthood, get your routine tests and get informed. Sex education needs to be taught throughout middle school and high school, not just simply touched on during one or two class lessons. If I had this kind of education in school when I was younger, I could have gradually learned more about it over the years, and maybe then I would have been more prepared to be sexually active.

Improvements to off-site parking can benefit CSUF students

CSUF students Tammy Hua and Mario Noriega wait to be picked up at the off-site parking shuttle located by the Parking and Transportation Services office.

Shuttle parking spots are a cheaper option, but lack convenience.

KAITLIN MARTINEZ News Editor

With the semester-based parking price rising to $285 next semester, Cal State Fullerton needs to invest in improving off-site parking options for students so that there are viable alternatives to the overpriced parking permits that currently exist. A parking forum was held on May 1 to discuss the increase in permit prices that will pay for a new parking structure, which Sasha Azoqa, the Parking and Transportation Services communications specialist, said will not be available until fall 2020. The forum highlighted the issue that students can’t afford to pay a lot of money to park on campus, and that it’s also unfair for students who are graduating to have to pay the increase when they won’t benefit from the structure. Currently, students can easily find parking spots at the EvFree Church parking lot. However, the parking permits for that off-site location, which are presently $70, will go up to $85 for the fall 2019 semester, Azoqa said. Even when the new structure is ready for students to use, off-site parking permits will still sadly be the more affordable option. If the off-site parking program is going to be the best economical choice for students,

KAITLIN MARTINEZ / DAILY TITAN

there are definitely improvements that CSUF needs to make to them, especially while the new parking structure is still in development. There is currently only one shuttle pick-up and drop-off point on campus in front of Parking and Transportation Services, which is on the far north side of campus. That means students will have to make a long journey to campus in order to get to class. Additionally, this off-site parking service isn’t beneficial to students that take night classes, since the EVFree parking lot is only available from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. So if a student’s class ends after 7:30 p.m., they can look forward to about a two mile walk in the dark before they can reach their car. This window of availability is not set to change for the fall semester Azoqa said. With the time constraints that off-site parking currently has, students are allowed to park in the campus structures on Fridays and weekends, when the student population is normally low. However, this only pushes the parking structure congestion to other days of the week. For students who use the campus on those days, this can easily turn into a nightmare. The off-site parking program deserves more than just being a leftover option for students to use due to regular parking being so deplorable. The program isn’t perfect, but if CSUF invested more alternatives to parking on campus, like having more drop-off points and flexible hours so that more students can use it, it would be a better use of shortterm resources, since not all students will use the new parking structure that they will be paying for.

Baseball’s offense runs past Lopes

CSUF scored all 11 of their runs in the first four innings against Grand Canyon. MATTHEW MENDOZA Asst. Sports Editor

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team exploded for nine runs over two innings and saw nine different players reach base, as the Titans defeated Grand Canyon University at home, 11-3, last night Eight different Titans recorded a hit as the team combined for 10 hits and drew eight walks. The Titans improved their record to 19-24 overall on the season. “They did a good job putting balls in play, it was a good complete win,” said Titan head coach Rick Vanderhook. CSUF opened the scoring in the first inning after Hank LoForte’s leadoff single led to an RBI single by freshman Kameron Guangorena. Guangorena later scored on a throwing error after GCU catcher David Avitia threw the ball out of the reach of first baseman Cuba Bess. The Titans sent sophomore Landon Anderson to the mound for his first start of the season, and second career start. Anderson retired the first five batters he faced before giving up a two-run home run to Nick Hansen to even the game at two. Three Titan pitchers came in relief for Anderson, allowing just two runs on six hits and combining for six strikeouts. Michael Knorr entered the ball game in relief for the Titans in the top half of the third inning, shutting down the Lope offense, tossing three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out three. Vanderhook said he was amazed by his team’s performance on the mound.

First baseman AJ Curtis (5) scores on Jarius Richards’ two-run RBI single in the third inning of CSUF’s win over Grand Canyon at Goodwin Field Tuesday.

“I thought they did a good job, I think Knorr was the best he’s been in a while,” Vanderhook said. Despite it being his first relief appearance this season, Knorr said he was ready to play. “I had an idea coming into the game, I just didn’t know it was going to be so soon,” Knorr said. The Titans regained the lead in the third inning, adding five runs on three hits. After loading the bases, AJ Curtis lined a two-run double

Bike: Won 19 races in six years CONTINUED FROM 1 Nsek recalled messages of encouragement and congratulations fresh off of his summer victory, both in person and through social media, and individuals like former Titan Cycling teammate John Janneck were no exception to the heaps of praise that went towards Nsek’s way. “I think it’s incredibly motivational. Seeing him win nationals is a huge step for cycling,” Janneck said. Janneck was quick to emphasize how Nsek is not only hardworking and talented on his bike, but explained how Nsek’s pursuit as a scholar and a cyclist personally inspired him. “It’s pretty cool to see a local guy just like me going to the same school and everything. If he can do it, I can do it,” Janneck said. Like many other student athletes, Nsek’s life off the saddle has been somewhat of a balancing act, especially for a young professional making the final foray into their collegiate career. At a point in life where two and a half to three hours can mean the difference between passing or failing an exam for a college student, Nsek has made

it a priority to invest a roughly three-hour block of time each day into training. On top of dedicating time to studying for classes, working on expanding a coaching business with his younger brother, becoming a licensed real estate agent and making time to spend amongst family and friends, he still finds time to take salsa classes with his girlfriend. From learning to love cycling on a mountain bike as a young teenager, to getting “smoked” in cycling races as a youngster, Nsek has come a long way from where he started. For any other national champion, a story like this might hinge on the heroics of individual skill or the triumph of human will, but for Nsek’s journey, the overwhelming silence of tens of thousands was ear-shattering. “It probably would have been super nice and super cool to be noticed,” Nsek said, recalling his victory as he sighed. For this national champion, however, the lack of recognition didn’t seem to bother him; it was enough to be recognized by those around him who understood the significance of his accomplishment.

down the left field line, which was followed by a two-run single by Jairus Richards. Freshman Jason Brandow reached base on a fielder’s choice that saw another run score, making it a 7-2 ballgame. The Titans continued the rout by adding four more in the fourth inning. After a leadoff single by Jake Pavletich and a walk by Mitchell Berryhill, the Titans moved both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Guangorena grounded a ball

to third which saw Pavletich get caught in a rundown. When trying to run home, Pavletich collided with GCU pitcher Coen Wynee, who was called for obstruction and allowed Pavletich to score. Curtis quickly followed with an RBI single, making it a 9-2 game, finishing with three RBIs on the night. “I just came up to the plate, had guys in scoring position, and I know what I have to do in that position, get a pitch I can drive and score some runs,” Curtis said.

With the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth, Zach Lew punched an RBI single to right field, and Brandow added another run for the Titans by drawing a bases-loaded walk, further advancing the lead, 11-2. GCU later added their first run since the second inning in the top half of the eighth on an RBI single by Quinn Cotton. With just nine games left this season, the Titans will be back in action this weekend for a Big West conference matchup against UC Riverside.
