Police recover professor’s bike

Bicycle was found on Craigslist months after it was stolen on campus BRITTANY CURRIE Daily Titan

On August 2013, Edward Fink, Ph.D., rode to work on his new Electra Amsterdam Dutch city bike and parked it on a rack. Since he lives close to campus, he commutes every day on his bike. He spends less time searching for a parking spot, he saves money on gas and he gets a small amount of exercise. “For me it’s more convenient than driving a car,” Fink, director of the faculty development center, said. When Fink went to leave for the day he was shocked to find that it wasn’t there. His bike had been stolen. Fink went straight to the University Police and filed a report with an officer. Months passed without any leads on the missing bike. Occasionally, Fink and his wife would check Craigslist, but found nothing for months. However, last week Fink’s wife saw her husband’s bike on the website. He recognized it by a red tail light he had attached to the seat post. “If you are religious you would say it was a God thing. It was posted and the good Lord said ‘I’m just going to accidently have her go there.’ If you’re not religious it was a wonderful coincidence. Whatever, either way it worked for us,” Fink said. He contacted University Police and Fink’s bike was returned to him that same day. Detective Paul McClain made contact with the seller and arranged a meeting at a Corona business, verified the serial number and recovered

the bike. McClain said when a bike is recovered from Craigslist, it has usually had a few different owners since it was originally stolen. “Basically it was determined through the investigation that they were not the ones who stole the bike. So technically if you look at it from the bigger picture they are a secondary victim because they bought a bike that was stolen and they were just reselling it,” McClain said. The investigation is still open, searching for the person who had originally stolen the bike. University Police were able to get Fink’s bike back because he registered his bicycle with them weeks before it was stolen. Since August 2011, campus police have provided students and faculty the service of registering their bikes incase of it being stolen. McClain originally started the free registration service and has had 229 bikes registered. Individuals registering their bike fill out a form and are photographed with the bike. The serial number is entered into the campus police system and also gets sent to a statewide database. “What’s cool about that is, if any other law enforcement comes across this bike and runs the serial number it’s going to populate and return as being stolen, but without that in the past it’s very difficult,” McClain said. In 2012, 125 bikes were reported stolen and so far in 2013, 61 have been reported. Most of these bike thefts are from wires being cut with improper lockings, poor locks or stolen with no locks at all. SEE THEFT, 2

Terrence Bennett, longtime member of Orange County Critical Mass (OCCM) begins to lead a group of cyclists through the busy streets of downtown Fullerton on Friday Night.

Cycling for safety Fullerton bikes take to streets IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

Bicyclists take to the Fullerton streets once a month for Orange County Critical Mass (OCCM) to prove that cyclists and car drivers can share the road and to encourage a safer commute for all. Riding together through the streets of Fullerton and Orange County, the group focuses less on having one leader and instead focuses on everyone as an equal participant. “We come out and ride. There’s no particular course. You just ride, and whoever’s in the front is the one that directs the pack,” said Terrence Bennett, a longtime rider, who participated in last week’s ride, which set off from The Night Owl Coffee Lounge in downtown Fullerton. Bennett has been involved with OCCM since 2008 and regularly promotes the cause. Fullerton has served as an advantage for the group, serving as a bike riding city for college students. “Just the fact that it’s a college town has actually helped us a lot. The police here seem to be very supportive,” Bennett said. Students cycling to class can cause crowded sidewalks, and safety issues on campus, particularly on sidewalks. “I think more than anything that cyclists in the area need to walk on sidewalks when they’re walking through campus. I mean it’s one thing to ride to campus, but when you’re on campus you really should walk,” Bennett said. OCCM hopes to see more awareness of this issue among students, including those who drive and those who ride. “Mostly they educate riders that they should be courteous to pedestrians,” Bennett said. Although Bennett said cyclists should be more considerate of pedestrians on sidewalks, the OCCM strives to have motorists recognize their right to share the road with them. “The goal mainly is to get motorists aware of the rights of cyclists on the road.

At the same time we want to have some fun and meet different people,” Bennett said. Tu Phan, another participant, also looks at this event as a social gathering instead of an official club. Critical Mass gatherings originated in San Francisco 30 years ago, it’s purpose was to ride safely where there were no bike lanes, Phan said. “It’s illegal for a cyclist to ride on the sidewalk, and motorists don’t think bicyclists belong on the street either, so we need to create more awareness to have people ride more often on the street and show them first that it’s legal,” Phan said. The OCCM hopes to continue to spread their message through the Internet as well as the road. “We mostly go through Facebook, but I’d say for the most part just seeing people like riding their bikes out. People are already out riding their bikes. You can say ‘Hey come join us, it’s a lot of fun.’ We’ll ride for 15 miles at a pace everybody can ride on,” Phan said. Social media also plays a role in spread-

ing their message. “I’ve been posting on Craigslist lately to help that. Facebook, Twitter, pretty much any type of media I can get to,” Bennett said. The OCCM meets around 7 p.m. on the last Friday of each month.

Ad majors campaign to win Students are given $3,000 to create advertising campaign for AT&T’s mobile phone service MATTHEW HADDIX Daily Titan

Student-run advertising agency 657 Insight opened a booth at Cal State Fullerton to showcase AT&T’s new connectivity and award-winning customer service for a national competition last week. The competition is created by Edventure Partners, an organization that creates industry-education partnerships in order to give companies exposure to millennial markets while also providing real world experience for the students who execute the advertising campaigns. Each college advertising group selected to represent AT&T was given $3,000 to execute the advertising campaign, and the winner of the competition is given the opportunity to go to AT&T headquarters and present the final campaign. Prior to the campaign, participating students studied the world of marketing. For most of them, this is their first real world appli-

cation. “Now they get a chance to get a chance in real life with real money, to create a campaign for a real client to try to solve real problems,” said Robert Sage, advertising professor, who teaches the capstone class tied to the marketing campaign. Last year’s student advertising agency was paired with Honda. They won the competition and gave their final presentation at Honda headquarters, where they earned $5,000 in scholarships. The students have been working on the advertising campaign since the first week of the semester, doing pre-campaign research and preparing a campaign brief to outline the goals of the advertising campaign. “For public display, this was our biggest and baddest event so far,” Brad Freeman, a member of 657 Insight, said. With an approved campaign underway, the students set up the booth on Titan Walk for a three-day event to highlight the changes AT&T has undergone since the days of the first iPhone. When the iPhone was first released it was exclusively for AT&T, the company was not prepared for the massive strain

the influx of new customers put on their network. When Verizon got the phone, they were more prepared for the surge after seeing the way iPhone sales affected AT&T. Since the iPhone became available for Verizon customers, AT&T has been able to refocus on network connectivity and availability, Jake Puleo, the CEO of 657 Insight, said. “A lot of people think that Verizon is way better than AT&T as far as the network goes, but in reality AT&T is right up there with them,” Puleo said. “I don’t drop calls on my AT&T phone.” The campaign focused on AT&T’s connectivity and customer service, which JD Power and Associates ranked highest for smartphone users in 2013, while Verizon brings up the tail of the four largest smartphone providers. The booth featured phones on display to test AT&T connectivity, a texting and driving simulator, a DJ and prizes for survey participants. Beyond the goals of the advertising campaign, the student run booth also raised money for lymphoma research via collection box.

“All the department heads have really come together and really got their teams together,” Freeman said. With the primary aspects of the campaign completed, 657 Insight will put on one final day of presentation specifically targeting careers with the AT&T company. “When you ask someone, ‘Would you be interested in working for AT&T?’ The first thing they think about is sitting at a retail store selling a phone,” Puleo said. “But in reality, AT&T has jobs in engineering, they have lawyers, they have pilots.” AT&T is pushing to have greater traction with science, technology, engineering and math majors at the university level, and is seeking to fill the large openings within the company, Sage said. Puleo hopes to have recruiters for AT&T accompanying the 657 Insight booth, which is expected to occur within a few weeks. The 657 Insight group hopes to prevail in the nationwide competition, but whether they win the competition or not, the real world experience gained from this campaign will aid them as they pursue their future careers.

A big rig passing through Arizona was found to be carrying over one ton of marijuana Monday, according to the Associated Press. The truck was traveling from California to the East Coast when it was pulled over for defective splash guards and reports of swerving. A police dog detected the scent drugs, and officers searched the vehicle. They discovered 2,300 pounds of marijuana in the trailer of the truck. The driver has been identified as Peng Law, 44, of Sunnydale, and the passenger as Bing Huang, 45, of San Jose. They were arrested and held on bail, set at $15 million, at the Camp Verde Detention Center.

College Republicans ask: What if we spread the GPA wealth? Fake petition equates GPA with income to criticize progressive tax code MATTHEW MEDINA Daily Titan

This week, students will be seeking signatures for a petition to overhaul the gradepoint average system at Cal State Fullerton. The petition would take grade points from students who have a 3.0 GPA or higher and give it to those who have 2.5 and below. It would also remove plus and minus grades and disband student honor societies. One caveat: This petition is fake. CSUF College Republicans will gather signatures for their fake petition as a way to argue grievances with the current federal income tax code in the United States. The petition draws a comparison between their proposal and progressive income taxes. Seth Morrison is a 20-yearold political science major and the president of CSUF College Republicans. He described the event as a way to encourage more debate on taxation and economic policy. “What’s fair? What really is fair?” Morrison said. “Is 1 percent of the taxpayers paying 40 percent of the taxes fair? I don’t know. That’s the discussion that we should have.” Morrison said conservative student organization, Young Americans for Freedom holds contests for student groups to create the best demonstration and video recap, and one category is a petition for gradepoint average redistribution. Chris Walsh, a political science major and vice president of CSUF College Republicans, said the club wanted to have their signature collectors speak similarly to politicians and others who are in favor of wealth redistribution.

College Republicans President

DYLAN LUJANO / Daily Titan Seth Morrison (left) spoke on a panel for a Santa Ana Tea Party Patriots event that took place on Oct. 14. “We just want to highlight that a lot of students had the help of administrators, teachers, other students, parents and so the GPAs aren’t their own,” Walsh said. “But obviously, it’s a satirical argument that we’re making.” Morrison acknowledged that people acquire money through means other than their own work, such as inheritance. “I believe it’s a fallacy that someone who just gets money from their parents, they didn’t really earn it; their parents earned that money and they should have the right to do whatever they want with it,” Morrison said. “That doesn’t mean that people who get money from their parents don’t do dumb things; they definitely do dumb things.” The core of the club’s argument is concern over income taxes. Morrison said he could not speak for his entire club, but he would personally prefer a f lat-tax system. “One thing that I believe is that the best person to oversee someone’s money is that person themselves,” he said. “I feel like a person who earns their money should be able to do with it what they want, and I believe in more cases than not that the person who earns

their money, they spend that money.” Morrison cited statistics from the National Taxpayers Union stating that for fiscal year 2009, the top 50 percent of income earners pay 97.75 percent of income taxes. Dipankar Purkayastha, professor of economics, had a mixed reaction to the event and the club’s main points. “I think it’s an interesting way of putting the problem, and I welcome these debates,” he said. Purkayastha said the National Taxpayers Union’s income tax figures are generally correct, but they do not tell the whole story. “One reason it happens that way is because there are a large number of children, so they obviously don’t earn and don’t pay income tax,” he said. “And also there are a large number of people who are retired, and some people who do not earn because they are unemployed, disabled and so on.” Purkayastha said he is skeptical of the concept of f lat income taxes. “Flat income tax is very hard to justify by any sort of economic theory,” he said. “That means a person who earns, say, $5,000 gives the same

percentage (of income) as a person who earns $5 million. Obviously, it’s much harder for the person who earns $5,000 to give the same percentage.” Morrison said his organization plans to post statistics on how many people signed the petition. However, they do not intend to do anything else with the signatures. “It’s more to bring awareness

to the issue,” Morrison said. “If there’s not a lot of people that sign it, that’s a good thing, we think, and if there’s a lot of people that sign it, that’s also a good thing, because that shows that people are actually thinking about it.” The event is scheduled to take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Titan Walk this Tuesday and Wednesday.

Beyond the Numbers Lessons left on the field

Green Piece It takes more than one ALEX GROVES

For the Daily Titan

Several evenings ago, I attended a party with some old high school friends, and it was a genuinely nice experience. I left with a new thought process regarding a green issue that I have struggled to address in this column for quite some time. One of my friends struck up a conversation with me and several others at this party. The conversation started innocently enough and I don’t really think my friend had any ulterior motive in asking a question that was undoubtedly spurred on due to a combination of the late hour and a lull in conversation. She asked, “do you think this generation is the best generation that’s ever existed, or the worst?” The reaction she got was certainly something; the question garnered a variety of responses from the party-goers. Some said the best, some said the worst and still some others said they weren’t sure. One of my friends said the question didn’t appropriately go to the heart of the matter. He argued that as a generation we’re somewhere in the middle and that we’re no better, or worse than our forebears. Another friend agreed with this and said our culture is dichotomous by nature. In other words, we have those that embrace a culture of materialism and who contribute little to society and those who reject that culture and who are actively striving toward an ideal. Of course, she didn’t articulate her idea quite that way. She basically said “hipster” culture is a rejection of “swag” culture and

the two have developed as opposing ideas to one another. Still, I’m glad she brought it up because it speaks volumes when we think of our approach as a generation to a variety of issues, including environmental ones. Ultimately, the key to being more engaged is to move from the millennial standpoint that “I” is the most important thing to the standpoint that “us” is the most important thing. In spite of the fact that we’re depleting our natural resources and that we face a variety of looming environmental difficulties, there are still many of us who continue to live a lifestyle that is excessive and narcissistic. Many of us buy our morning coffee from Starbucks in a paper cup, contributing to the huge amount of paper and plastic waste we produce as a nation per year (enough to encircle the equator 300 times). A recent study from Michigan State University indicated that in spite of the fact we gush about being green, a good portion of us only make sustainable and environmentally friendly purchases if there’s some economic benefit in doing so. For example, gas mileage is the most important criteria for those of us who are buying cars because we love the fact we are saving money. We are glad our good gas mileage makes us greener, but it’s certainly not our primary motivation in purchasing a car. Perhaps our less than careful spending and behavioral habits can be rationalized through a 2012 study that showed that as a generation, we’re just less concerned with environmental issues than the generations before us. Fifteen percent of millennials

reported that they have made no effort to help the environment as opposed to the 8 percent of “Generation Xers” and 5 percent of baby boomers. Millennials were also the least likely to save electrical energy and fuel. Analysis of current studies has posited that our inactivity on the environmental front is because we’re simply worn out as a generation. We see environmental issues as inevitabilities and decide there’s no point in making an effort. Let’s face it, it’s not like we’re not aware of the issues happening around us. In fact, nine out of 10 millennials said they recognize the health of the environment is going to be their responsibility in coming years. What we should do is look to the people who have started to move from complacency to action. The so-called “hipsters” that shop at thrift stores and consignment stores and who have started to use non-disposable containers for their beverages are great examples. We should look to those individuals who have decided to embrace public transportation and bicycles as viable alternatives to cars as well. Finally, we should abandon this idea that we’re special and that we’re deserving of new things all the time, because we’re not. Many of us are living in a way that doesn’t mesh with our current challenges, both environmental and economic. My argument is that if we want to be the best generation, more people should move away from the idea that their own personal needs and desires are more important than the needs of the mass populace.

In a landslide win near the end of my sophomore season, my high school football coach decided to allow the team captain to finally play a snap. Our team captain, Zachary McKay, was born with a special case of dwarfism and stands at 3-foot-5-inches, but has the intensity and passion of a giant. The crowd erupted when number ½ walked on the field, on a passing down and successfully blocked the pass rusher. McKay was the team’s primary coin-toss caller, but on that Friday night, he finally knew what it felt like to be on the field under the lights. He finally knew what it felt like to play a game, the adrenaline, the emotion and the excitement. McKay had a few more big plays throughout his next two seasons on the team while serving as team captain, but none were more special than that play.

team jogged towards the field, in front of a full crowd, cheering on their hometown Norsemen to a win. For a while, sports was nothing but a game to me. McKay changed all of that. It’s people like McKay who dream of nothing but stepping on the field. It’s people like McKay who wait for the moment their number is called. It’s people like McKay who portray the true meaning of an athlete. In an era when many of the world’s most popular sports are being heavily scrutinized, many are forgetting the lessons the games teach. American football is now viewed as a violent sport as the National Football League is being overshadowed by the numerous injuries the league’s biggest stars are suffering. Association football, soccer, has been blanketed by the various reports of racist remarks by both fans and players in the world’s biggest stages. Basketball has faced various gambling controversies due to officials fixing games, and this era of baseball is now known as the “steroid era.” Professional sports, although popular, do not hold the same integrity they did in years past. Despite all the controversy, sports provide valuable lessons that outweigh all of the negative publicity they attract. Regardless of what the world sees on television or reads in the news, the new era of sports tells stories that go far beyond the numbers.

As a teammate, spectator and friend, seeing him overcome his physical limitations with his love and passion for the sport, even for just one play, made the whole experience worthwhile. It was that moment that made me understand there is more to sports than just statistics. The beauty of sports is that it gives individuals the opportunity to exceed all expectations, to outperform the competition. Individuals, like McKay, who follow their dreams and against all odds, fulfill them, inspiring others along the way. The lessons I learned during my days and nights at practice extend far past the field. Every spectator, every fan understands the competitive drive and determination each athlete possesses, despite their level of competition. As a child, I dreamt about the days I would be on the field playing. I dreamt about the touchdown catches, drives and dances. I dreamt about the spotlight shining down on me as our

Ever since I was a little redheaded child growing up, I always felt the need to ask questions about the world around me. Why do I get shocked when I pull my clothes out of the dryer? What is gravity? How does my Game Boy know which button I press? Today, I know the answer to the majority of these questions, yet I cannot help but continue to ask some more. Science is at the forefront of the answers to many of the questions about our everyday lives, the world and the universe around us. I look at science in awe of what it has accomplished and what it is capable of accomplishing in the future. However, there seems to be a lack of interest and knowledge in the field of science that shuns the recent advancements and discoveries we can all benefit from. Science can be helpful, fascinating and even exciting, but at the same time, it can be harmful, ugly and frightening.

That is the beauty of it. In writing this column, I hope to inspire people to ask questions and to once again spark their interest in the sciences because the world is in need of more eager and innovative minds. Look around; there is much more to this universe than just what flashes on a cell phone screen. Less than a week ago, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) test fired a “space cannon” designed to extract samples of asteroids for examination by creating an artificial crater. Takanao Saiki, a scientist working on the project, said “the speed of the device is over 2,000 meters per second and the configuration is exactly as we had planned.” Considering that an average M16 rifle shot fired leaves the barrel at approximately 900 meters per second, their capabilities of their cannon is astonishing. Their initial test proved a success. Now, JAXA’s next step will be to launch the cannon into space aboard their spacecraft, the Hayabusa-2, sometime next year. The Hayabusa-2 will be the second spacecraft JAXA launches to retrieve materials from deep space. Its trajectory will be aimed at a C-type asteroid known as “1999 JU3” that is set to orbit between Earth and Mars in 2018. The plan is for Hayabusa-2 to get in range of the asteroid in which the space cannon will then be detached from the spacecraft and will fire a four pound metal bullet or shell at the asteroid creating a small crater. This crater will expose debris and other materials that JAXA

is interested in. Hayabusa-2 will protect itself from any potential danger the shot fired from the cannon might have created by taking shelter on the other side of the planet. Afterwards, the spacecraft is expected to make its trip around again to land on the asteroid and take samples from the newly cannon-formed crater to bring back to Earth by the year 2020. The launching of the Hayabusa-2 is not set to take place until 2014, but the space cannon will not actually be able to fire until sometime in 2018 when the asteroid and the spacecraft actually meet. JAXA’s goal is to bring back materials that will help them better understand how planets are formed and even how life can arise. The origin of our solar system is something many scientists dedicate their lives trying to understand, and this research can help us inch closer to finding the proper answers. At the very least, the findings of the launch will give scientists a better understanding of our how planets formed. JAXA’s project can shed light on ways to protect Earth from potential hazards that can arise from asteroids and other threats from beyond our atmosphere. Some might find the idea of tediously studying rock debris unappealing, but the findings that can be uncovered are endless. There are so many unanswered questions about the universe that can potentially be answered through space exploration. Today’s innovations, like the “space cannon,” can lead us in the right direction to answering them.

Stopping child porn proves ineffective The government needs to find more effective ways to end child exploitation SARAH GERHARD Daily Titan

The growing and saddening epidemic that is child pornography is rearing its ugly head once again, and although efforts are being made to prevent the exploitation of children, it raises the question, is it enough? Jon Johnson, a 72-year-old Fullerton resident, was arrested last week as a part of an operation performed by the Los Angeles County Cyber Crimes Task Force, according to the Orange County Register. Johnson was arrested on suspicion of the possession and distribution of child pornography. Later, officials did in fact uncover hundreds of photos and videos in his possession showing children in sexual acts with adults. The arrest marked the end of a six-week investigation and the conclusion of four other local

arrests. KTLA reported that the victims of the child pornography distribution network have yet to be identified by authorities, but they are believed to live in a variety of locations across the globe. According to the United States Justice Department, “Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor.” So are the precautions being taken to prevent child pornography actually successful? In a 2010 article from NPR, technology giant Microsoft stated it had been working on a pilot project to develop a technology that will limit the ability to search for child pornography on the internet. The software, known as Microsoft PhotoDNA, now operates on its own online platforms including Bing, SkyDrive and Hotmail. Microsoft’s website reported that it “has already resulted in the identification, reporting and removal of thousands of images of child pornography.” Facebook has also jumped at the opportunity, licensing the technology for use on their network in 2011. However, is this the answer officials and victims have been looking for? A simple filter? Could it be that easy, or has so-

Drew Oosterbaan, head of the Justice Department Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, remains unconvinced by the proposed solutions. In an article posted by NPR, Oosterbaan said, “that’s why this is a very, very challenging area of law enforcement, where, in the past 10 years, I’ve never found any real simple solutions.” In continuing this internet blockade against child pornography, Google has also proposed a solution, a database of “encrypted” child porn images that is said to enable some companies and law enforcement to further collaborate on detect-

The software allows the company to tag images with an identification code that is reported and blocked by other companies when locating a duplicate image elsewhere on the web. Ironically, Google, which is in the business of making news and information widely available, is creating a content blockade. Jacquelline Fuller, director of Google Giving, said “we can do a lot to ensure it’s not available online—and that when people

solution is easier said than done. A threat to the safety of children has always been one of the government’s most crucial concerns. However, aside from a couple arrests and some failed attempts to monitor and filter the internet, ultimately very little is being done.

STEM grant opens doors for women ADVANCE project aims to bring more female faculty into specialized program REBECCA LOPEZ Daily Titan

Jennifer Faust, Ph.D, has spent the past two years preparing and submitting a grant proposal that will help more women become hired and remain working at Cal State Fullerton in the mathematics, technology, engineer and science departments. Faust, the associate vice president for Academic Affairs, and her team’s hard work paid off when they found out the “Increasing the Participation and Advancement of Women in Academic Science and Engineering Careers,” (ADVANCE) project is set to receive $159,511 from the grant. The project, which focuses on education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), was awarded the grant last year to assist in the hiring and retention of several female faculty and staff members. Faust has already started researching ways to not only attract more female applicants, but keep them here for longer periods of time. The grant is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The funds are planned to be spent towards obtaining a higher representation of women in these critical areas of study and research. Faust and her team submitted their proposal for the grant to NSF in hopes that they would become the lucky recipients, said Paulina Tagle, director for the Office of Grants and Contracts. NSF bases its funding opportunities on a project’s reach and in broadening opportunities within its principles of diversity. “Grant money cannot be spent outside the scope of the grant specification,” Lee Ma, a fund accountant in Los Angeles County, said about how the grant money is allowed to be spent. This means the money will not be allocated anywhere else except within the parameters that are outlined in

a proposal, such as the one Faust submitted, according to NSF guidelines. Part of Faust’s research included a survey for full-time tenure-track and tenured faculty members that contained questions regarding hiring and retention practices, work-life balance issues, career satisfaction and several other topics. They hope to find if women in the STEM departments are being supported by CSUF enough to encourage growth and advancement in the mathematics, technology, engineering and science departments. Faculty members were informed of the survey’s findings during a forum held on Sept. 13. The survey, which was given to faculty during the spring semester, found that over 88 percent of female faculty members felt they worked in an environment that supported their work and encouraged advancement. One of the more difficult tasks to overcome was revealed through the survey. Over 51 percent of the survey respondents said they had dependents at home, causing them to struggle in effectively balancing out their home life and careers. The hiring and retention of more women in STEM is a part of a larger campus-wide effort to diversify the faculty and staff demographics on campus. “I feel like it’s a good idea to hire more females,” Yarely Macias, a senior majoring in mathematics, said. “It encourages females students to pursue those majors of science and technology.” Macias said she knows women are interested in these fields. She also said she believes having more female faculty in the STEM departments will help inspire more of them to go after the more difficult degrees. Assisting Faust on this project are Susamma Barua, associate dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and Dorota Huizinga, director of special projects at the Cal State Fullerton, Irvine Campus.

A life full of lessons CSUF alumna, Heidi Hong found her calling in promoting healthy food, travel and lifelong learning ZEILA EDRIAL Daily Titan

After graduating from Cal State Fullerton in 2010, Heidi Hong stepped out of college life and into an uncertain career world. “I felt like I was in an anxious state of limbo with uncertainty of how to proceed with my career in the ‘real world,’” Hong said. Hong, 27, graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design and a minor in advertising. Insteading of choosing a job in graphic design right away, Hong decided to undergo 200 hours of training to be a yoga instructor. She also completed the 500-hour Yoga Therapy Rx program at Loyola Marymount University. Hong used her training to start teaching yoga at the Equinox Sports Club in Irvine. She also works with children at the United Cerebral Palsy Therapy Center. At the center, she helps children who are recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic stress. During the summer, Hong teaches beach yoga at Huntington Beach at Tower 6. Although Hong was developing a career in yoga, she continued her endeavors in graphic design by being a freelancer and developing her clientele. That work led Hong to head Love Haus Creative, a website involved with branding, print, web, video, photography and social media. Aside from graphic design and yoga, Hong said her passions are food, lifelong learning, travel and outdoor adventures.

Hong’s passions inspired her to become the co-founder of the Xanadu Catalina Island Adventure Festival. She collaborated with co-founders Ryan Blackstock and Alex Calkins to launch the festival, which was held on Catalina island from Sept. 20 to Sept. 22 this year. While researching potential locations for a 5K race Calkins said that he could get a permit to hold the race at Catalina Island as a way to help. Blackstock said that while they were planning the race they realized their real

“I felt like I was in an anxious state of limbo with uncertainty of how to proceed with my career in the ‘real world.’” Heidi Hong CSUF Alumna

passion was in creating a health and fitness festival. They wanted to include not only the 5K, but also yoga and hiking events. They also wanted to incorporte everything the island had to offer in the health event, including kayaking, paddle boarding and more. In addition, they wanted to include seminars on holistic and preventative medicines. “This is where Heidi comes in,” Blackstock said. Hong joined the team as the health, wellness and activities director. She was in charge of coordinating yogis

(people who practice yoga), athletes, directors, brands and companies to take part in the festival. The three co-founders developed most of their festival ideas in January and February of this year. During breakfast one Saturday following a beach yoga workout in Santa Monica, the co-founders set up the festival. “(We) sat around talking for the next hour and a half about what we could create and how we could positively affect the lives of people we connected with,” Calkins said. “That was where we came up with the name Xanadu Catalina.” The Xanadu Catalina Island Adventure Festival included the 5K run, health and wellness workshops, camping and live music performances. “We gained an invaluable amount of experience and knowledge from this event and already from the incredible response we got, we know that next year the event will be five times bigger,” Hong said. Now that Hong has helped launch a festival successfully, she has moved on to other projects. Hong will be traveling to China early next year to help open up a high-end yoga studio. She will assist in branding and designing, as well as training teachers. Once the studio is established, Hong is expected to fly out twice a year to oversee the operations and teach private yoga therapy sessions with VIP clientele. “She is always excited about what she is doing,” Blackstock said. “She never gets bored or lays around doing nothing. She practices living in the present time and doesn’t worry or stress out about the future. She is not afraid of the unknown, she loves adventure.” Capitalizing on her passions, Hong has built financial security and established a niche within a field she has come to love.

Hemp can add to any diet plan Hemp is loaded with Omega-6 fatty acids, fiber, iron, protein and calcium as well as vitamins A, B, D and E MIGUEL BETRADO For the Daily Titan

Living a natural and clean lifestyle is important to anyone looking to keep their body in top condition. Fitness enthusiasts all know the great blessings that superfoods give to our bodies. Superfood is a name given to a natural food that contains multiple benefits toward our health. Eating a good amount of superfoods is a much more natural choice than taking numerous amounts of supplements everyday. There are a wide variety of superfoods that all have great nutritional value. Out of all of those out in the markets, there is one food that has not received its much deserved attention, it may even be one of the healthiest foods someone can eat—hemp. Many people only know hemp’s relation to marijuana. However, hemp is actually the non-psychoactive breed of the cannabissativa plant, meaning hemp does not contain the ingredients that can produce a high. There are many ways the hemp plant can be used, but by eating it, it can easily make your diet that much healthier. Unfortunately, based on its relationship to marijuana, hemp’s nutritional value has not made it to popular media. The value of hemp is becoming increasingly popular, though. There are many vegans, vegetarians and people just looking to eat smart that already know the benefits of including hemp in your diet. Hemp can be eaten as seeds, oil or as the fiber of the plant. All contain rich nutritional value and can be enjoyed with endless recipes. Hemp seeds alone can outmatch many supplements and other foods on the market in nutritional gain. According to 3FatChicks. com, a diet support website, and Care2.com, a healthy living website, hemp seeds are one of the few Omega-3 sources found in plants, which helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, can lower blood pressure and can even diminish Alzheimer’s disease. Diabetics can appreciate hemp seeds as they help control blood sugar levels. The seeds also contain essential amino acids that improve muscle control, mental

function and normal body maintenance of cells, muscles, tissues and organs. If you are looking to prevent cravings throughout the day, eating hemp seeds for breakfast will keep you full. Eating hemp fiber proves to be even more beneficial to the body and is a greater source if you are looking to consume more protein. The protein and fiber in hemp slows digestion which prevents spikes in blood sugar and therefore sustains your body’s energy. Like its seeds, the fiber in hemp keeps your body full longer, resulting in less snacking. The Omega-6 fatty acids found in hemp fiber stimulate hair and skin growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism and can also helps the brain function. Hemp provides all this as well as containing B vitamins, vitamins A, D and E, calcium, sodium and iron. Similarly to other foods, hemp can be consumed in different ways through a variety of products. Hemp can be bought at markets as protein powders, milk, oil and the seeds themselves. Nutiva, a producer of organic superfoods, is an example of one of the few hemp food providers you can find in markets. Nutiva has hemp seeds, oil, shakes and powders as a selection of gluten-free and nonGMO products. Hemp foods are widely and commonly sold as organic which favors a vegan’s diet. For someone not looking to sacrifice taste, hemp products can be found usually flavored with chocolate or vanilla, resulting in a delicious and nutrient dense product. Switching or just deciding to add hemp products to your diet can greatly help your body’s performance. Athletes, students or just the average person can all gain and appreciate the perks given by hemp. It is still a wonder why hemp remains in the shadows of healthy dieting, but those who know about it can take advantage of their knowledge and receive all the gifts this neglected plant offers. Regardless of its lack of popularity, hemp remains one of the greatest superfoods when it comes to natural nutritional value and health benefits.
