Bath said this plan will continue to move forward as he intends to accomplish the goals laid out in their plan. “We want to be able to make sure that the overall goal of the plan is to give a strategic mission to ASI in the coming five years,” Bath said. “Situations change, you know; things might change for the plan as something that can kind of be customized to those situations.” Although Bath antici- pates challenges, he does not expect anything to sur- prise him. “Of course there’s things that come out of the blue, but I’ve had the opportuni- ty to see (Latif and ASI Vice President Jonathan Leggett) in action,” he said. “I think that my approach is a lit- tle different.

Page 1: Wednesday, April 9, 2014

After a year of working together on the Associat-ed Students Inc. executive staff, President Rohullah Latif will start passing the torch to president-elect and Chief Governmental Offi-cer Harpreet Bath in the up-coming weeks as the new-ly elected 2014-2015 ASI administration prepares to take office.

“Transition is important, and when you don’t have a good transition during the year, it’s evident and peo-ple can tell,” Latif said. “This year Harpreet has been part of our staff … and I know he’s going to move forward with the strategic plan.”

Bath worked with Latif and others to create a spe-cific strategic plan for ASI that emphasized different

methods to bring unity to campus.

Bath said this plan will continue to move forward as he intends to accomplish the goals laid out in their plan.

“We want to be able to make sure that the overall

goal of the plan is to give a strategic mission to ASI in the coming five years,” Bath said. “Situations change, you know; things might change for the plan as something that can kind of be customized to those situations.”

Although Bath antici-pates challenges, he does not expect anything to sur-prise him.

“Of course there’s things that come out of the blue, but I’ve had the opportuni-ty to see (Latif and ASI Vice President Jonathan Leggett)

in action,” he said. “I think that my approach is a lit-tle different. Every leader is different … what I real-ly want to focus on, within ASI, is making sure that we go back to advocating on ev-eryday issues that our stu-dents face.”

For the new ASI chief, ev-eryday issues include not having enough space on campus for studying and events, a limited number of course offerings and mal-functioning elevators.

“Personally, I have full faith in Harpreet, Badal and the next staff,” Latif said. “I hope he does more things that I didn’t do and I couldn’t do.”

Recently, the two served as voting members on the Student Fee Advisory Com-mittee (SFAC), which passed the $181 success fee.

The Titan baseball team defeated the 2013 National Champion UCLA Bruins 4-3 on Saturday night at Good-win Field.

To make the win even sweeter, Cal State Fullerton got revenge on the very team that ended its season less than a year ago during the Super Regionals on the same field.

“We beat the defending national champions who last year left us with a sad feel-ing,” CSUF Head Coach Rick Vanderhook said. “As of right now it’s a win, and we’ll take every win we can get.”

CSUF had one of its most balanced efforts on Tuesday, scoring four runs on six hits while having no defensive miscues in the field for only the 10th time this year.

Junior third baseman Matt Chapman was again the star of the show on offense, go-ing two for four at the plate, driving in two runs while also scoring one.

“I’m definitely seeing the ball and feeling confident at the plate,” Chapman said. “They took away what we wanted to do last year and they knocked us out of con-tention for a ring in Omaha, so it definitely feels good to reclaim home turf again.”

The pitching was not as dominant as Titans fans have become accustomed to, but it was enough to pull out the victory in the end. Six pitchers were used on the night, none of them

throwing more than 2 1/3 innings.

Tyler Peitzmeier didn’t stick around long for the Ti-tans after getting the start, as his struggles on the hill continued with a 1 2/3 in-ning performance where he allowed three hits and gave up a run.

Freshman Chad Hockin entered the game with the bases loaded in the second inning and promptly end-ed the threat with an in-ning-ending groundout to Chapman.

Hockin ran into trouble in the third inning, allowing a base hit and hitting a batter before a sacrifice bunt put the UCLA runners on second and third. This prompted an-other pitching change.

A fourth Fullerton Col-lege student was charged Monday with two felonies in connection with an August assault on a Cal State Fullerton basket-ball player.

Malcolm Postell is now a co-defendant with Ah-mad Muse, Terrence Lange and Sean Dun-can-Wills. Muse, Lange and Postell have played football for Fullerton College.

The four are accused of beating Joseph Boyd, a freshman forward on the CSUF basketball team, after they left a party in the University House Fullerton apartment complex.

Fullerton Police De-partment officers ob-tained surveillance foot-age from University House showing several men attacking Boyd.

From a stuffed purple squirrel to the giant Bigfoot dropping, the plain white and red “Hearsay” logo on the front wall is about the only thing that won’t send chills down your spine as you browse the numerous paintings currently residing in the Begovich Gallery.

Cal State Fullerton’s Be-govich Gallery is hosting an art exhibit based on ur-ban legends titled “Hear-say: Artists Reveal Urban Legends.”

Wendy Sherman, a stu-dent at Cal State Fullerton, is an avid art fan and co-cu-rator for the exhibit.

“The exhibition is art-ists interpreting urban leg-ends. The point was not to illustrate the legends but an interpretation, so we asked the artists to choose a legend that had person-al meaning … that they had maybe heard grow-ing up,” Sherman said. “We just didn’t want an illustration.”

Bath voted against this fee as a member of the SFAC, and he will now have to implement it during his term.

“Serving on the com-mittee, all the other ti-tles, you put them away because you’re a student representative appoint-ed by the ASI President to best represent our stu-dents,” he said. “At that one particular vote I per-sonally didn’t feel com-fortable voting for it … but that doesn’t mean the process wasn’t the right thing.”

As Student Success Ini-tiative survey results re-vealed, many students were upset about cer-tain money allotments for specific areas, includ-ing athletic facilities and programs.

“Overall, I’m an advo-cate for athletics just be-cause it brings that en-tire different viewpoint

when it comes to univer-sity,” Latif said. “To me, I felt that it was a great de-cision to go and help ath-letics out at a time when they need it.”

Because Bath was in-volved at all steps in the fee consultation process, Latif said his successor will be able to hold ev-eryone accountable in making sure the fee allot-ments go where they are supposed to.

“What we are doing right now is we’re cre-ating an accountabili-ty measure to make sure that the student suc-cess fee initiative, it goes where it needs to go,” La-tif said.

He also said ASI plans to create bylaws in the upcoming weeks to cre-ate an even more struc-tured framework for stu-dents to see how money is being spent.

Bath’s administration will help implement the planned improvements from the new fee starting in the fall 2014 semester.

PRESIDENTContinued from PAGE 1

This year’s Psychology Day will focus on science and morality and will host alumnus Michael Sher-mer, Ph.D., founder of Skep-tic magazine, as the main speaker.

The day’s events will fea-ture student research post-er presentations and con-tests as well as workshops hosted by experts in the field. Psychology Day will be hosted from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Titan Student Union Tuesday.

It is a chance for students to showcase their research and learn more about what their selected field may have in store for them whether in graduate school or a career, said Margaret Rosales, an organizer with Psi Chi, the psychology honor society.

“This is the most antici-pated event for psychology majors, so we want to have a topic that was of interest to them, but we also want them to know what re-sources are available,” she said.

This year’s theme is “sci-ence, morality and improv-ing the human condition.”

“Science and morality is one of the current trends in psychology,” Shermer said. “So, because it’s some-thing that’s really popular right now with psycholo-gy we felt that our students

should be aware of it and they should know the lat-est information and the re-search about it.”

Shermer, who graduated in 1978 with a M.A. in ex-perimental psychology, is the publisher of quarterly science advocacy magazine Skeptic magazine, the exec-utive director of the Skep-tic’s Society and month-ly columnist for Scientific American magazine.

He taught psychology, evolution and the histo-ry of science for 20 years at three different southern California colleges and has taught Skepticism 101: How

to think like a scientist as an adjunct professor at Chapman University since 2011.

In his latest book, The Believing Brain, which his website calls his magnum opus, he synthesizes 30 years of research on why people believe in a higher power.

“In this book Dr. Shermer is interested in more than just why people believe weird things, or why people believe this or that claim, but in why people believe anything at all,” according to his website.

Shermer has appeared on Larry King Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Colbert Report and other shows.

Also speaking will be Elizabeth Davis, an assis-tant professor of psycholo-gy at UC Riverside who will discuss a biopsychosocial approach to emotion regu-lation in childhood.

She researches how emo-tion regulation relates to adaptive and maladaptive outcomes in childhood, ac-cording to her UC Riverside biography. Her work aims to identify strategies chil-dren can use to alleviate negative emotion.

Davis also hopes to iden-tify the mechanisms re-sponsible for effective emo-tion regulation to explain regulation strategies that relieve negative emotion and distress.

A Fullerton math teacher at Nicholas Ju-nior High School was charged Tuesday with sexually assaulting and sending sexual text messages to three male students.

Melissa Nicole Lind-gren, 28, is facing multi-ple felony charges of as-saulting boys between the ages of 13 and 15, the Orange County dis-trict attorney’s office said in a statement.

Lindgren was first ar-rested on Feb. 21 after one of the victims came forward, which led to the Fullerton Police De-partment initial inves-tigation.

Lindgren faces a maximum sentence of 16 years and four months in a state pris-on if convicted, prose-cutors said. Lindgren is on $100,000 bail and will appear in court Wednesday morning.

The newly discovered Internet bug Heartbleed is a force to be reckoned with, according to the New York Times. Inter-net users are advised to change all their pass-words and temporari-ly avoid sites that have been deemed vulnera-ble.

Some of the sites that have been identified as vulnerable include Ya-hoo.com, Tumblr.com, Eventbrite.com and Flickr.com.

Heartbleed is due to a fault in OpenSSL, a commonly used proto-col that is used to pro-tect usernames, pass-words and sensitive information. Most sites that start with https:// use OpenSSL to encrypt their data.

Some sites, including Google.com, CitiBank.com and Amazon.com, have been identified as not vulnerable.

A fire consumed an unfinished apartment building in Anaheim Tuesday morning, causing an estimat-ed $2 million in dam-age, according to the Orange County Regis-ter.

The cause of the fire and point of origin are still under investiga-tion.

No one was injured. Construction workers on site had evacuated safely from the build-ing before the fire-fighters had arrived.

The fire was report-ed at 8:30 a.m. at a construction site near West Lincoln Avenue and North Crescent Way. It took over an hour for firefighters to contain the flames that scorched a decal on a fire engine 40 feet away.

According to the police report the foot-age showed, at about 1:15 a.m. on the night of the assault, as Boyd, accompanied by his girlfriend and other friends, stood near an elevator, a group of men approached the el-evator and began arguing with Boyd. The main suspect, who Head Coach Tim Byrnes identified as Muse, punched Boyd in the face as he was looking away.

As his friends attempted to hold the at-tackers back, Boyd stood near the elevator

and raised his hands in what police de-scribed as a gesture to say he did not want to fight. Despite this, a second suspect, lat-er identified as Lange, sucker punched Boyd in the right side of his head as he was look-ing away, causing his head to slam against a wall and collapse, possibly knocking him unconscious.

As Boyd tried to get up, a third suspect, later identified as Duncan-Wills, struck him in the spine. While he tried to stand again, a fourth suspect punched him on the left side of the head, resulting in his head hitting the elevator frame and possibly knocking him unconscious again.

Shortly afterward, Boyd’s friends got in an elevator and fled the scene. Police obser-vance of other cameras notes the four main suspects left together, and two of them were seen laughing and high-fiving one another.

In the police reports compiled as officers were investigating the case, one officer in-terviewed Postell, who said he was in the Los Angeles area with his girlfriend at the time the assault took place. He also noted Postell did not match the description of the fourth suspect. However, the same officer interviewed a witness who identified Postell as one of the men who attacked Boyd.

Postell is no longer listed on the football team roster for the Fullerton College Hor-nets. He was on the team as recently as Sept. 7, when the Hornets defeated Long Beach City College in their first game of the season, but he did not play in that game, according to game results on the Hornets’ website.

The pre-trial disposition hearing for the four defendants was deferred to June 4. A preliminary hearing, where it will be deter-mined if there is enough evidence to pro-ceed with the trial, is scheduled for June 30.

Muse’s attorney declined to comment.

ASSAULTContinued from PAGE 1

Troy High School junior Jacob Teepen broke a world record in Oc-tober, and now he wants to earn two more on April 19.

Teepen broke the previous Guin-ness World Record of 42 consec-utive handsprings among male competitors and 44 overall by per-forming 45 back handsprings at the Fullerton Golf Course.

“Originally, I thought that the ti-tle of a world record holder is cool and all, but I wanted something bigger,” Teepen said. “I wanted to be a multi-record holder. And I had such a great experience last time, I decided ‘why not? You know what, let me go for more.’”

After searching for other records to break, he settled on running a mile while holding a partner.

Teepen will run a mile with his girlfriend and fellow Troy student, Sofia Bayliss, riding piggyback. Then, after a 30-minute break, he’ll attempt the same feat holding her on his shoulders in a fireman’s carry.

“I noticed that these records looked fun, they looked doable for me with a little training, and it was something that I could involve with me and my girlfriend,” he said.

Because Bayliss is lighter than Teepen, she will wear about 45 pounds of additional weight using vests and other equipment to com-ply with the Guinness requirement that competitors carry a partner of equal or greater weight.

The equipment initially posed a problem, because it changed Bay-liss’ center of gravity and made her more difficult to carry properly.

Teepen said he has become accus-tomed to it and is confident in his ability to break both records.

“I don’t think it will (be a prob-lem),” Bayliss said. “We’ve been practicing and it’s turned out great.”

Bayliss and Teepen train at least three times a week, with each ses-sion lasting about 45 minutes.

For the piggyback race, Teepen said he recorded his time during a practice run, which came out to be about 12 minutes and 10 seconds, which is 37 seconds faster than the current record set by Ashrita Fur-man in 2010 in New York.

To have adequate evidence for Guinness, Teepen’s friends will doc-ument his attempts and send in video recordings.

“My friends were very involved with me in my last record attempt,” Teepen said. “So their reaction was not so much as surprise; my friends’ reaction was that ‘alright, let’s do it,’ and they’re very supportive of me.”

Teepen, a Whittier resident, spent eight years as a gymnast and is currently active in Troy’s track and field team and the Navy Junior ROTC program. He said he hopes to attend the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, UCLA or the Uni-versity of Michigan and study as-trophysics and computer science. He said he wants to be a military pi-lot, but after advancing in that field, he wants to achieve his ultimate goal of becoming an astronaut.

“Astronauts must know their ship inside and out,” he said. “That’s why I would like astrophysics and com-puter science.”

Parents Jackie and Jeremy Teepen helped organize and fund the event and get the word out, as they did with their son’s first record attempt in October.

Teepen has scheduled his record attempts at 9 a.m. April 19 on the outdoor track at El Dorado High School in Placentia.

Additional student charged in beating

Teen to try more records

Osher Lifelong Learning In-stitute (OLLI) members gath-ered Tuesday at the Ruby Ger-ontology Center to talk about the newest college at Cal State Fullerton, the College of Edu-cation. Dean Claire Cavallaro, Ph.D. presented to OLLI mem-bers about the various educa-tional departments, centers and programs available for stu-dents who want to pursue ca-reers in education, research and teaching.

The College of Education pro-vides students with valuable re-sources, educational programs and centers, she said. Their edu-cational programs provide men-toring, advising and counsel-ing to teacher candidates and

students who are pursuing a ca-reer in education.

“Although Cal State Fullerton had teacher preparation pro-grams from its very beginning in 1957, teacher preparation programs and other education preparation programs were al-ways included in other colleges until 2004,” Cavallaro said.

There are five education de-partments within the college: Educational Leadership, Ele-mentary and Bilingual Educa-tion, Reading Education, Sec-ondary Education and Special Education.

“Our students have many dif-ferent needs, this includes spe-cial learning needs, as well as students with different lan-guage backgrounds, differ-ent ethnic and cultural back-grounds. We want to make sure that all of those students have the best education possible,” Cavallaro said. “Every student deserves to have an excellent teacher. We want to make sure that we are preparing teachers

to meet the needs of all those students.”

The College of Education also offers many programs for stu-dents; such as Teaching and Administrative Services Cre-dentials, Master of Science in Education, Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership and an online program in Master of Science in Instructional De-sign and Technology, Cavallaro said.

The Academic Centers of Ex-cellence at the College of Edu-cation include: Catalyst Center, Center for Autism, Center for Maximizing Impact, Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership (C-REAL), Ha-zel Miller Croy Reading Center and SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union for Creativity and Critical Thinking.

The Catalyst Center, Caval-laro said, brings science and math education experts from the campus together to improve teaching and learning in those fields from preschool to gradu-ate education.

The Center for Autism is a centre that strives to improve the lives of individuals with au-tism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families by empha-sizing research, teaching, clin-ical service and community involvement.

The SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union for Creativity and Critical Thinking encourag-es partnerships between local schools and collaboration be-tween teachers to prepare stu-dents for developing important knowledge and skills.

The College of Education’s Strategic Plan aims to encour-age leadership skills in learn-ers that can be implemented towards an “ever-changing, di-verse and digital world.” The collaboration between teach-ers, students and faculty, fosters learning, research and part-nerships within an academic environment.

Community involvement and OLLI members play pivotal roles in the College of Education, said Judy A. Smith, a member of OLLI and the CSUF Collaboration Committee.

“We are very, very excited about the opportunity to be able to serve the college,” Smith said.

Although recent focus has been heavily placed on fe-male empowerment, the re-ality is women still only earn 77 cents for each dollar that a man earns.

Women are projected to account for 51 percent of the total labor force in the Unit-ed States by 2018, according the U.S. Department of La-bor. Yet they still aren’t get-ting equal pay. Statistics like these are depressing.

However, this significant gender pay gap is more than just a statistic, it has real-life consequences.

The White House released

an image that illustrates the effect that the gender pay gap has on women. Because of the pay gap, a woman working full time in the Unit-ed States will lose $431,000 over the course of her profes-sional life, according to the illustration.

What is more astonish-ing than that incredibly high number is what wom-en could do with that money they so rightfully deserve.

With that money, a woman would be able to buy a house, put two kids through college at a public school, buy 21,900 gallons of gas and feed a fam-ily of four for 6.4 years.

This gap and loss is even greater for minority wom-en. Black women and Latina women earn even less com-pared to a man, according to the White House website.

In a new state-by-state analysis by the National Partnership for Women and Families, it found that there are more than 15 million U.S. households led by women,

and a third of them live in poverty.

This means that 5 million households led by women are living in poverty. Women are hindered because of the pay gap, and it is time that something is done about it.

This dispute over the pay gap has been a long time coming.

In 1963, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law, which prohibits employers from paying an equally skilled fe-male employee less than that of her opposite sex counter-part. The law seems great on paper, but it has been 51 years and the “equal” part still seems to be lacking.

The Obama administra-tion recognizes this downfall and has proposed acts that will work to eliminate the gender pay gap.

The Senate is to vote this week on the Paycheck Fair-ness Act, which would close loopholes in the Equal Pay Act, to make it almost im-possible for employers

to discriminate against women.

President Barack Obama supports the bill that would strengthen the Equal Pay Act, and has called on Con-gress to pass it.

The issue of the pay gap is important for the United States as a whole.

The World Economic Fo-rum released a 2013 Glob-al Gender Gap Report and found the United States ranks a measly 67th when it comes to equal pay among men and women for substan-tially similar work.

The United States aims to come out on top in all other aspects of global stance, and it is time equal pay for wom-en becomes one of those as-pects. Obama was right in placing so much empha-sis on eliminating the gen-der pay gap for the 2014 elections.

Pay discrimination is a real and persistent prob-lem that continues to rip off American women.

This semester, I have done a good job of making sure I keep up with assign-ment due dates and main-taining a schedule so I don’t fall behind or have one of those days where sleep isn’t involved.

I usually have trouble starting or sticking to many things.

Many times, I find myself staring blankly at what is in front of me for no appar-ent reason when I could be doing something construc-tive. This is a problem I don’t really understand, but I’m sure I am not the only one.

I started to write this week’s article later than I usually do, and the reason is simple: Procrastinating is easy.

Procrastination is defined as the action of delaying or postponing something, and it indeed is a hideous act.

Until recently, most peo-ple just equated procrasti-nators with being lazy or unmotivated (which they still might be, I suppose) but recent research suggests that procrastination along with impulsivity are genet-ically linked. This suggests the two traits have similar evolutionary origins.

The research was present-ed in the journal Psycholog-ical Science and it gives the notion that the two traits stem from our ability to suc-cessfully pursue and juggle goals.

Daniel Gustavson, a psy-chological scientist of the University of Colorado Boul-der, said “Everyone procras-tinates at least sometimes, but we wanted to explore why some people procrasti-nate more than others and why procrastinators seem more likely to make rash actions and act without thinking.”

Perhaps procrastina-tors make impulsive deci-sions simply because they are always short on time. I know that’s usually the case for me.

He goes on to say “An-swering why that’s the case would give us some interest-ing insights into what pro-crastination is, why it oc-curs, and how to minimize it.” This is something inter-esting to look into because it’s a problem that usually plagues most people. It can be especially frustrating for college students who have a lot on their plates.

The idea behind this re-search is that our ancestors should have favored seeking immediate rewards when tomorrow was not guar-anteed for them, meaning that procrastination must be a more recent human development. This is often because, in today’s world, we are a bit more certain of tomorrow than our ances-tors were, which lead us to believe we have more time, and that it’s okay to put things off.

Hence procrastination is born.

What that suggests about people who procrastinate more often than others is that they logically would also be more impulsive. Studies in the past have looked at the relationship between the two things but have yet to determine what exactly causes this behavior.

One of the most effec-tive ways to try and under-stand traits such as these is by studying twins. Identical twins who share 100 percent of their genes often display more behavioral similari-ties than non-twin siblings. Researchers use this in an attempt to witness the re-lationship between genetic and environmental influ-ences on certain behaviors, in this case procrastination and impulsivity.

In Gustavson’s study, he and his colleagues gathered 181 identical-twin pairs and 166 fraternal-twin pairs who then took many sur-veys that would allow the researchers to gauge their tendencies toward procras-tination and impulsivity, as well as their ability to set and maintain goals. What they found is that procras-tination, along with im-pulsivity, is heritable. They also found that there ap-pears to be no genetic influ-ences unique to either trait alone.

What they think their findings suggests is that, ge-netically speaking, procras-tination is an evolutionary byproduct of impulsivity.

Procrastination is a word all college students know too well and finding out more about it is key to help-ing us get rid of such an aw-ful habit that gets in the way of our set goals; howev-er, for some people it simply is laziness.

Science of the Impossible

Procrastination not your fault

GUSTAVO VARGASDaily Titan

Trigger warnings defective

The gender pay gap needs to end

Academic regulations and policies usually stem from within the walls of govern-ment body meetings that create a rift in the student population who most of-ten strongly oppose those rules.

A prime example of this can be seen from the pro-tests that have sprouted against the student success fee.

A resolution was passed at UC Santa Barbara that is go-ing to make it mandatory for professors to issue trigger warnings to its students.

The trigger warnings will serve as a cautionary memo, included in the syllabi, that will let students know which lecture days will feature a sensitive or controversial topic, video or reading that might trigger physical or emotional distress.

Should students feel that they would not be able to handle a lecture that dis-cusses pornography, sexual assault or explicit violence, they would be excused by their professors with no pen-alty for their absence.

This resolution was not passed by the school ad-ministration, but strangely enough, was passed by the student senate. Which, as the name suggests, is com-posed of students.

It seems strange that students would create something like this, when the consequence of abus-ing this system is damag-ing student education. The same students that the Sen-ate is supposed to be look-ing out for.

The possibility of abuse is one of the problems that comes with these trigger warnings. It won’t be the case where every single

student abuses these trigger warnings. But what is really stopping someone from say-ing a lecture is offensive to them simply because sleep-ing in an extra hour sounds better than attending class.

Some students have mas-tered the art of lying to get out of attending class and completing assignments.

Even if the resolution is currently advisory, this at-tempted legislation should be cautiously examined. As it currently stands it is an ex-cused attendance day simply for saying the material is of-fensive is too open to be tak-en advantage of.

There are those who could have legitimate reasons to miss out on such lectures, such as students who suf-fer from Post-Traumat-ic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These are special cases that

require individual arrange-ments with professors, but the UCSB resolution does not solely apply to students with PTSD.

Another complication is the vast amount of room for debate in this resolution that rests in the blurred defini-tion of what is controversial and what would trigger dis-tress for the students. What might truly offend one is perfectly acceptable for an-other student.

Would there be a scale for warnings that represent the severity or explicitness of the content, and who will determine what constitutes as such? There must be a definite and clear consen-sus to what would cause dis-comfort, or else professors run the risk of over broad-ening and rendering their lectures meaningless out of

fear of offending. It limits professors abili-

ties to teach effectively and students ability to learn.

Materials and topics that challenge the mind are an essential part of higher ed-ucation as well as defining a person’s beliefs as an adult.

University courses are meant to encourage stu-dents to confront sensitive issues and discuss them with an open mind. If noth-ing else, they broaden hori-zons and provide alternative world views.

“Trigger warnings” pro-mote an education cul-ture that is overprotective, touchy and hypersensitive.

Requiring professors to excuse students from such enriching lectures and as-signments is the antithesis of that. It does not improve ed-ucation but hinders it.

The new UCSB resolution could hurt student learning

The “Hearsay: Artists Re-veal Urban Legends” exhib-it includes roughly 35 art-ists who were given the task to recreate an urban legend that has special meaning to them.

Each of the art pieces dis-played is also accompanied by a short description of the artists personal connection to their legend of choice.

All of the artists present their own interpretation of an urban legend in a horri-fyingly charming way using many different mediums. There are sculptures, paint-ings and even models of Big-foot droppings on display.

“(The work on display here is from) artists from all

over,” Sherman said. “The majority is (from) California but we have artists from the UK and artists from New York.”

The artwork on display is eerie but extremely capti-vating. Visitors are able to get a glimpse of the artist’s mental image of a particu-lar urban legend. There are a wide variety of artists on display, from popular back-grounds such as Llyn Foul-kes to more unknown art-ists like Michael Criley.

Foulkes has a haunting-ly beautiful portrait of Walt Disney with a dismembered face and Mickey Mouse sticking out of it.

“Many of Foulkes’ works involve social commentary targeting corporate Amer-ica (especially Disney) …

Foulkes’ paintings bring to mind the sneaky side of Dis-ney, who might be hiding out and spying on children,” reads the description on the portrait’s placard.

Artist Clayton Bailey has a model displaying the “Ap-proved Method of Finding a Bigfoot Dropping” com-plete with its own life-sized Bigfoot “dropping” and the tools that were used in or-der to obtain such an item.

The exhibit puts all of these varying illustrations in one place and presents them in an attractive and engaging format for the viewing pleasure of stu-dents and the public.

“Hearsay: Artists Reveal Urban Legends” will be dis-played in the Begovich Gal-lery until May 8.

Urban legends brought to life through art

‘Butt What Is Art?,’ that is the question

The Cal State Fullerton Art Department, in collabo-ration with Nickelodeon Stu-dios, is proud to present the opening of an exhibition of artwork and video celebrat-ing the animated series, San-jay and Craig.

Sanjay and Craig is pro-duced and televised by Nick-elodeon. The series follows a boy named Sanjay and his talking pet snake, Craig. To-gether, they take on the ad-venturous wonders of being a kid, exploring themes rela-tive to young people.

The series production pro-cess is far from easy, requir-ing copious insight, art direc-tion and overall collaborative teamwork to help bring the

animated series to life. The exhibit is the first to fo-

cus exclusively on art created for and inspired by the Nick-elodeon television series. It will feature original and digi-tal art, animation, title cards, storyboards, final video and behind-the-scenes informa-tion about the animation production process at Nick-elodeon.

Dana Lamb, a professor of entertainment art/ani-mation, has been closely in-volved in the production of the exhibit and has been working with Nickelodeon for nearly two decades, help-ing students with internship placement and employment opportunities with the stu-dio.

The exhibit is a portion of a more extensive collaboration with Nickelodeon Studios that has taken place over the past academic year, giving students the opportunity to hear presentations from the studio’s creative department

and allows students to pitch ideas to them.

“This year we have been even more deeply involved with a Nickelodeon Masters Class that brings (in) artists,

production staff and even a vice president of creative

content development,” said Larry Johnson, an emeritus professor of art illustration.

One of Lamb’s student’s show ideas from the masters class was selected to be pro-duced at the studio.

“We also had a idea pitch competition in the fall se-mester from which Tarryn Henderson, an illustration BFA student was the winner and her project now moves on to a development phase at the studio, to be produced with voice talent and music and to be aired on the Nick Network,” Johnson said.

CSUF has a longstanding relationship with Nickelode-on and this exhibit is proof of the university’s success in various collaborative ef-forts.

“Many Titan alumni are among the Nick studio’s cre-ative team on numerous pro-ductions,” Johnson said.

Johnson has been serv-ing as liaison between both parties and working closely

with the curator for the ex-hibit, Emily Tyler, the show’s co-creators at Nickelodeon and the Pollak Library Atri-um Gallery exhibit program coordinator, Trish Campbell, to ensure everything is com-ing together.

Tyler, a recent CSUF MFA, exhibition design and mu-seum studies graduate, has been in charge of manag-ing the installation at Pol-lak Library Atrium Gallery. She has also been coordinat-ing with Nickelodeon about physical installation.

“We have been working steadily on the gallery design since around January,” Ty-ler said. “I am most excited about seeing how the gallery space will come to life and represent the energetic, hu-morous and colorful content that we all love about Nickel-odeon productions.”

The show’s opening re-ception will be held Satur-day, April 12 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a “Creator’s Talk”

at 3 p.m., which is open to the public. The show’s origi-nal artists/creators will give a presentation in one of the theater spaces in the Clayes Performing Arts Building.

The exhibit is free to all and accessible Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sun-day 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The gal-lery is open during regular li-brary operating hours.

Classical orchestral sounds will grace the Cal State Fullerton campus Wednesday as Los Angeles based chamber music en-semble, Divan Consort re-visits campus for the sec-ond time this spring. The upcoming concert is in hon-or of their new CD, Refuge, which released on April 1 through Albany Records.

The talented group of musicians last came to Cal State Fullerton in Febru-ary for two concerts in the Meng Concert Hall and will be playing that same venue.

Divan Consort is com-prised of a repertoire of per-formers that come from all over the world. Their mis-sion is to “(perform) the most recent works reflect-ing the highest artistic ex-pressions as well as the landmark compositions of the twentieth century,”

according to the Divan Consort website.

They have played a vari-ety of prestigious music se-ries and venues all over the United States and have had successful concert tours in Portugal and Turkey. They composed and recorded music featured in The Sa-cred Fools Theatre Compa-ny’s production of BAAL, by Bertold Brecht.

Turkish pianist, Füreya Ünal is the founder of Di-van Consort. Ünal has been playing piano since she was three years old and began her musical education in Is-tanbul. She is a CSUF facul-ty member and has become a regular performer for the annual New Music Festival. Her students have gone on to win numerous competi-tions and festivals.

Ünal’s co-artistic direc-tor is clarinetist, Virginia Figueiredo. She has been featured as a soloist and has performed at many dif-ferent parts of the world. She has won numerous awards including one from the CSUF Concerto com-petition. She received her Master of Music from CSUF and is a lecturer at the

university. Divan Consort’s Com-

poser-In-Residence is CSUF professor and director of the Composition/Theo-ry program, Ken Walicki. Walicki grew up playing guitar in local Detroit ga-rage bands and has since then dedicated his life to music.

Walicki draws his influ-ence from different clas-sical and contemporary artists and his music fea-tures a combination of dif-ferent popular genres. He is known widely for his unique and innovative style of composing. He was one of the first composers to use turntables in his com-positions and was the first to include them as a regular instrument in his standing ensemble.

“Without compromis-ing his values, Walicki has made a point of writing music that relates to peo-ple and their situations,” as stated on Divan Consort’s website.

One of Walicki’s pieces will be featured in Wednes-day’s performance, as well as works by Özkan Ma-nav, Miguel del Aguila and

Aram Khachaturian. These pieces and more are fea-tured on Refuge.

The six tracks on Ref-uge are each composed by a different artist, all from different countries. The al-bum is a reflection of the ethnic and national back-grounds of the composers who worked on it.

Divan Consort will per-form Wednesday at 8 p.m. Tickets for the concert are $15 for the general public or $13 for students. They can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center Box Office at the door or by call-ing (657) 278-3371.

Once hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the top un-signed bands in the Unit-ed States, alternative rock band Night Riots will bring their critically acclaimed musical talent to Cal State Fullerton’s Becker Amphi-theater Wednesday.

Travis Hawley, the band’s lead singer, has dubbed Night Riots’ sound as “gloom pop.”

“It’s a pop band, but it has just a vein of melan-choly in there,” he said.

Hailing from San Luis Obispo, Night Riots’ ensem-ble also consists of Nick Fo-tinakes (guitar), Mikel Van Kranenburg (bass), Matt DePauw (guitar) and Rico Rodriguez (drums).

The music of Night Riots

is often compared to that of ‘80s alternative rock groups U2 and The Cure, who have had influence on the group’s sound and mu-sical style.

The comparisons to U2 and The Cure not only ring true with Night Riots’ mu-sical sound, but also in the way Hawley’s voice bears similarities to the lead singers for both bands.

Hawley said while the band grew up listening to punk rock, some of the band’s most recent influ-ences come from popular acts like Bruno Mars and the Arctic Monkeys.

However, Hawley said most of his musical in-spiration comes from the novels that he has read, particularly from authors Cormac McCarthy and er-nest Hemingway.

The set Night Riots will perform at the Becker Am-phitheater will be primari-ly composed of songs taken from their most recent eP, Young Lore, but will also

consist of songs the mem-bers have been working on for their upcoming eP.

“Back to Your Love,” a single on Young Lore, is one of the songs Hawley said the band especially enjoys performing live.

“It’s the one we have playing on (radio station) KROQ right now, it tends to go over really well … It’s really cool to have every-one singing along,” Haw-ley said. “It’s just the track that has a really strong at-mosphere and I think peo-ple gravitate to it for some reason.”

“Back to Your Love” has been featured several times on KROQ’s Locals Only Playlist, a top five list that is comprised of songs by lo-cal up-and-coming artists, since earlier this year.

Another single off of Young Lore the band enjoys playing live is a song titled “Spider.” The song shows off the band’s knack for creat-ing catchy choruses, while also featuring percussion

and backing vocals that are reminiscent of music by alternative rock band TV on the Radio.

Hawley said most of the members have been in the band since they were younger, but have only re-cently started to come into their own musically.

“I’d say just in the past two years have we really started to really find out what we are as a band and really push our boundaries … it’s been kind of an open-ing time,” he said.

The band, which cur-rently has nearly 24,000 likes on Facebook, was also called one of most over-looked bands of 2012 by MTV Buzzworthy.

Night Riots is also sched-uled to play a KROQ Locals Only showcase at The Slide-bar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen in Fullerton on April 17.

The band is set to take the Becker Amphithe-ater stage at the regu-lar Wednesday concert timeslot at noon.

Artists, music fans and some of the biggest mu-sical acts from across the globe all converge in the small California desert town of Indio for the 15th annual Coachella Arts and Music Festival begin-ning Friday.

Coachella 2014 will fill the desert air with some of today’s most popular music from April 11-13 and again from April 18-20, with both weekends having identical lineups. OutKast, Muse and Ar-cade Fire will headline this year’s sold-out festi-val that takes place at In-dio’s empire Polo Fields.

Tickets for the festi-val went on sale for $375 on Jan. 10 and sold out in 2 hours and 37 minutes, beating the previous re-cord set in 2012 by 20 min-utes, according to an arti-cle on Billboard.com.

Goldenvoice, the com-pany that runs Coachella, has long been praised for its ability to book a wide range of cutting-edge acts, which span many genres and range from burgeoning newcomers to all-time classics. This year bears no exception.

With scheduled perfor-mances by desert rockers Queens of the Stone Age, dubstep guru Skrillex and 17-year-old breakout pop star Lorde, whose 2013 hit “Royals” was named the second best song of last year by Rolling Stone, mu-sic fans of any ilk should be able to find something on the polo fields that suits their taste.

The 2014 lineup offers a unique balance of acts young and old that range from the radio-friend-ly pop of ellie Goulding and Foster the People,

to ‘90s indie-rock dar-lings The Replacements and Neutral Milk Hotel, and even delve into the strange avant-garde per-formance art of Woodkid and Goat.

One of the most high-ly anticipated sets of the festival is OutKast’s re-union performance. The hip-hop duo, hailing from Atlanta, has been on hia-tus since 2006 shortly af-ter the release of their last album, Idlewild. Coachel-la marks the first time the group has performed live in almost seven years, ac-cording to the Los Ange-les Times.

Nas, another clas-sic hip-hop artist, will also play a special set at this year’s festival. The 40-year-old Brooklyn em-cee will perform his iconic 1994 album Illmatic in its entirety in celebration of the album’s 20th anniver-sary, according to the rap-per’s website.

Both Sundays of the fes-tival will conclude with a headlining set by the Grammy Award-winning band Arcade Fire. The band also headlined the festival in 2011, making them the quickest return-ing headliners in the his-tory of the annual festi-val since its beginnings in 1999.

In addition to the per-formances, festival go-ers can enjoy a variety of interactive art exhibits, gourmet foods, craft beer and take care of their 2014 Record Store Day shop-ping at the festival’s own record store.

In order to accommo-date upwards of 160 mu-sical acts and thousands of attendees per weekend, the festival grounds are set up with a main stage, outdoor theater and three tents in addition to a few smaller forums that of-fer an air-conditioned reprieve from the des-ert heat while world re-nowned DJs spin the latest hits.

Junior Koby Gauna came into the game and struck out the first bat-ter he faced. Then, sophomore Jus-tin Hazard drove in both runners with a single up the middle that just snuck by the glove of a diving Jake Jefferies to put the visitors up 2-0.

Sophomore Tanner Pinkston got the Titans on the board in the bot-tom half of the third inning with a single to left field that brought home senior Keegan Dale to shrink the deficit to 2-1.

In the fourth inning, Gauna got himself into trouble when he loaded the bases before inducing another ground ball to get out of the jam.

The Bruins remained in the lead until Chapman came up to the plate with two runners on in the fifth in-ning, and tripled into the right-cen-ter gap to put CSUF up 3-2. Junior J.D. Davis then brought in Chapman with an RBI groundout to second base, increasing the lead to 4-2 for Fullerton.

Freshman Miles Chambers earned his first win of the season after an impressive showing out of the bullpen up until the seventh in-ning. The Bruins were able to scrap a run across courtesy of a single and

two wild pitches from junior Willie Kuhl, which allowed a Luke Persi-co fly ball to bring in Ty Moore and close the gap to 4-3.

CSUF had a golden opportunity to score in the bottom of the seventh with runners on first and third base, but Chapman grounded into an in-ning-ending double play to thwart the offensive threat.

Davis came in to pitch for the Ti-tans in the top of the eighth inning, striking out two of the three hitters he faced to re-energize the crowd at Goodwin. He also took the mound in the ninth inning, where he over-whelmed the UCLA hitters, strik-ing out Shane Zeile to clinch the 4-3 victory with his fourth save of the season.

With nationally-ranked Big West opponents UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo looming in the coming weeks, the Titans will need to build off of their impressive win over UCLA. If they are able to continue with timely hitting and solid defense, they have an opportu-nity to take both series against their conference foes.

“These are two big weekends coming up for us, and we need to take both of those series,” Chapman said. “We look forward to playing some more good baseball.”

The Cal State Fullerton wom-en’s golf team earned a top-three finish after ending up in a third place tie with UC River-side in The Gold Rush tourna-ment at Yorba Linda Country Club.

The 11-team tournament field included Big West Con-ference foes Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal State Northridge, UC Irvine, UC Riverside and tournament host Long Beach State. The other teams featured Boston College, Gonzaga, Ida-ho, Northern Arizona and San Francisco.

The Titans shot an overall 49-over 913 that was enough to finish ahead of fifth-place CSUN. UC Riverside shot a fi-nal round 295; which dropped them into a tie with CSUF. The Titans were able to hold posi-tion in the standings with a fi-nal round 306.

After two rounds on day one, the Titans finished in third place, shooting a 20-over 607, which put them 15 shots be-hind leader Gonzaga and two shots behind Long Beach State, which sat in second place to finish the day.

In the individual standings, the Titans placed three com-petitors in the top-15.

Tisha Alyn Abrea finished the tournament in sixth place with a 7-over 223. Abrea was tied for third heading into the final round of play after shooting a 3-over 147 through the first two rounds but shot a 4-over 76 in the third round which dropped her out of the top five.

In the first round, the ju-nior shot a 74 then followed it with a 73 in round two, which left her in the top five before slipping one spot in the final round.

Martina Edberg finished right behind Abrea with a 9-over 225, tying her for sev-enth with Shawnee Marti-nez of Long Beach State. The freshman’s best round came in round one when she shot an even par 72.

Makayla Mier gave the Ti-tans another top-15 finish in the tournament, tying for 11th with a 12-over 228. The junior ended up tied with three other competitors including Arinda Bhanaraksa of CSUN, Brittani Ferraro of UC Riverside and Taylor Yoshitake of Cal Poly SLO.

Dakota Brown ended up tied for 30th with a 21-over 237. The sophomore’s best round came in round one when she shot a 5-over 77.

Gonzaga won the tourna-ment title, shooting an overall 893. The Bulldogs struggled in the final round, shooting a 13-over 301, but its performance in the first two rounds gave

the team enough of a cushion to hold off Long Beach State, which finished with a 897, four shots behind Gonzaga. The Bulldogs best round came in round one after shooting a 294.

The Bulldogs also took home individual honors thanks to Alice Kim who finished with an overall score of 1-under 215. In round one of the tour-nament, Kim shot a 3-under 69 and was able finish atop the leaderboard despite a final round 3-over 75.

Next up for the Titans is the Big West Championships at the San Luis Obispo County Club. Last season, CSUF finished in fifth-place shooting a 73-over 949. Abrea will be looking for a third consecutive top-10 fin-ish in as many years at the Big West Championships.

The Titans will look to over-throw UC Davis, which is look-ing for its fifth consecutive Big West Championship title. The three-day tournament will be held April 13-15.
