Second finalist for VP of finance visits campus Dean Calvo tours Cal State Fullerton to get a glimpse of campus life MAGDALENA GUILLEN Daily Titan

Dean Calvo, the second finalist in the search for the new

vice president for administration and finance/chief financial officer, took a run around Cal State Fullerton Monday evening in preparation for a long Tuesday of meetings with campus administration and students.

He explored Titan Stadium, the Gastronome and residence

halls, surprised by the amount of students scurrying around campus.

Calvo is the second of three finalists to be presented at an open forum this week at Steven G. Mihaylo Hall.

“The level and significance of socialization I saw was really inspiring,” Calvo said.

Calvo said he is impressed by the ambitions and aspirations of the university’s strategic plan, adding that it is consistent with what he knows of Fullerton’s past and present, setting an ambitious agenda.

The vice president for administration and finance/chief financial officer oversees a

budget of approximately $425 million. The position also requires working closely with the Academic Senate, Cabinet members and students, among other responsibilities.

Calvo outlined a three-step plan for his first three months in the position, if he is chosen.

He said all of these steps will

impact students and university personnel.

- Listen, so that by listening, it can lead to relationships.

- Personal homework, to find out how the university works.

- Cultivating strong relationships with the Cabinet.

Titans routed by men of Troy Men’s basketball failed to recover from a rough start to USC in road loss JOSEPH ANDERSON & ANDREW FORTUNA Daily Titan

A sluggish first half was too much for Cal State Fullerton to overcome as they fell to the USC Trojans 76-62 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles Tuesday night.

The Titans got off to a slow start against USC, turning the ball over on their first three offensive possessions, falling behind 6-0 before they could get their first shot off.

The rest of the first half wasn’t much kinder to CSUF, who fell behind 45-25 at the half, allowing USC to shoot 59 percent from the field, compared to their own 37.5 percent mark in the first 20 minutes of play.

Turnovers plagued the Titan offense, who gave away the ball 10 times in the first half, while only forcing five from USC. CSUF ended the night with 17 turnovers on offense, leading to 14 points for the Trojans.

CSUF struggled with the size and strength of their Pac-12 Conference opponent, as 7-foot-2-inch Trojans center Omar Oraby scored 10 first-half points on 3-of-3 shooting from the field.

USC outscored Fullerton

26-10 in the paint during the opening half, while CSUF held a slight advantage with their outside shooting, hitting three shots from threepoint land compared to the Trojans’ two.

Oraby was able to bully his way through the Titans’ defense for 15 points and nine rebounds. He also recorded six of the Trojans’ seven blocks on the defensive end.

“They obviously knew they had a height advantage, and they definitely exploited it,” said CSUF Head Coach Dedrique Taylor. “Having 14 foot of human to defend out there, that’s a lot to deal with.”

The Titans were paced by senior guard Michael Williams, whose eight first-half points kept the CSUF offense af loat early on.

The second half started off similar to the first, as a CSUF turnover led to an easy dunk

by USC senior guard Pe’Shon Howard.

However, Fullerton was able to go on a 22-13 run to start the second half, bringing them within 11 points of the Trojans. They were never able to fully close the gap, as USC was able to pull away in the final minutes.

Freshman Sheldon Blackwell stepped in admirably for injured Titan junior guard Alex Harris, scoring 14 points in his first significant minutes of the season.

Maria Ortiz, 47, chants “si se puede, meaning “yes we can” in English, outside of Congressman Ed Royce’s office Monday morning. She is living in the United States as an undocumented worker supporting her family for the past 23 years.

Activists fast for change Eleven people to fast until Friday to draw attention to immigration policy MATTHEW HADDIX Daily Titan

A five-day fast is underway in front of Congressman Ed Royce’s (R-Fullerton) office to draw attention to the cause of immigration reform.

Dozens of demonstrators gathered Monday to voice their cause near Royce’s office. They announced 11 of them would fast until Friday, a representation of the 11 million undocumented people living in the United States.

Royce once had a voting record that could be seen as largely opposed to immigration reform. He previously voted to erect a fence along the Mexican border and end birthright citizenship.

But in the wake of the Republican Party’s push to reach out to Latino voters, Royce has gone from opposing immigration reform to a platform of silence.

For the activists, the issue of immigration reform reaches beyond just Latinos, allowing people from all different creeds and races to come together and stand for something that affects them.

“It’s a problem that is shared across communities,” said Dayne Lee, the lead organizer of the event. “This year it has been cross-racial and almost beyond race. Not only Latinos and Asian-Americans, but businesses, African-American groups, clergy groups, Republicans and Democrats.”

reform is not just of the struggle of undocumented individuals petitioning for citizenship but also a story of family separation and tragedy.

Jessica Bravo is one of the individuals fasting, and she has been personally affected by deportation. Her uncle was deported a few months ago, leaving behind his wife and two children.

“You’re literally tearing apart a family,” Bravo said.

“My aunt has to work two jobs to be able to pay (for her children), her kids are struggling in school because it’s difficult when your mom is not really there for you all the time.”

Once an individual is deported, his or her relatives have little hope in seeing them return to the United States.

“They get a three or a 10year ban, and what happens is they can’t come back and they can’t be petitioned for,” said Polo Morales, a representative of PICO National Network. “Their children have to be of age; if they are young children, they have to wait 10 to 15 years and then they can go ahead and petition for the parents to come back.”

Morales also has an uncle who has been deported, leaving behind a wife and a

3-year-old son.

Once deportees are able to petition for citizenship again, they must file a petition for a green card first and then attempt to gain citizenship, a process that could take years.

Deportations are on the rise under President Barack Obama’s administration. Before the end of this year, the number of deported individuals during Obama’s tenure is expected to reach 2 million, which would be almost as many deportations that have occurred in the United States between 1892 and 1997.

Fullerton concert to aid typhoon victims Rotary Club International organizes Broadway stars for show at Muckenthaler HELENA REED Daily Titan

Broadway stars will assemble Monday in Fullerton for a benefit concert to aid victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which has tragically affected millions in the Philippines.

The concert will be produced by the Rotary International District 5320 Charitable Foundation, along with the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton.

Zoot Velasco, executive director of the center, and his wife, Monette Velasco, both play major roles in planning the event.

During the second national Broadway tour of Miss Saigon, Monette Velasco was able to

meet and network with many from the Broadway world, quickly evolving the event from a small to large scale event.

Zoot Velasco said when Typhoon Haiyan happened, he suggested the idea to his wife to put on a benefit at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center.

After talking with Rae Shirer, district governor for Rotary’s Orange County District 5320, Zoot and Monette Velasco decided to make it a district-wide event.

“What started as a small idea quickly grew,” Zoot Velasco said.

Rotary is an international organization, including clubs in the Philippines.

Through Rotary, men and women volunteers dedicate themselves to serving their community.

Zoot Velasco said when Rotary holds an event to raise money for disaster relief, it dif-

fers from other major organizations such as the Red Cross or the United Nations when it comes to how the money gets distributed.

“When you give money to them it usually goes to claims to bring aid over,” Zoot Velasco said.

He also explained that most times, governments take in the money, but it gets lost in the process due to officials staffing large non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

With Rotary, on the other hand, every donation goes to the relief. The money from the benefit will directly be taken to the Rotary Club in Manila.

There, they will distribute it directly to the clubs in the Philippines in the most affected areas.

Zoot Velasco said they have tried contacting some clubs in the affected areas, but have had no luck due to lack of service.

“It was suggested that we do it through the Manila club, because they were not in the affected area,” he said.

“They’re the largest club from the largest city in the Philippines, and they can distribute it to those clubs without having to worry about phone service or internet service. They can actually drive the money over there.”

The event will include Broadway stars of Miss Saigon, Wicked and Les Miserables. Performers include Kristine Remigio, Jon Jon Briones, Monette Velasco, Joyce Bautista-Nanshaw and Deedee Magno.

Magno, in particular, is said to be one of the most notable guests. She previously appeared on the Mickey Mouse Club, and played Nessarose in Wicked. She also appears on the soundtrack of Disney’s Aladdin: A Musical Spectacu-

lar, and is a member of the pop group The Party.

Other performers include Richard Kinsey (Javert, Les Miserables), Los Angeles Op-

era singer Teresa Brown and many more.

“This event makes me proud to work at a nonprofit,” said Allison Town, director of marketing for the Muckenthaler Cultural Center. “We were able to put together an amazing show in a very, very short amount of time for people who are in dire need of help.”

Shirer said it is wonderful to see different community organizations come together.

After Zoot Velasco talked to Shirer, they decided it was best to move to a bigger venue to accommodate a larger audience.

The event will be held at Plummer Auditorium at Fullerton Union High School.

Tickets will be $50 per person and may be purchased through the Muckenthaler Box Office at TheMuck.org or by calling (866) 411-1212 or (714) 738-6595.

JESSICA PINEDA / Daily Titan Candidate for VP of finances Dean Calvo answers student questions about leadership and his plans at CSUF.

It is also the vice president for administration and finance/ chief financial officer’s responsibility to deal with communication in the event of a university crisis.

“The guiding principle for crisis management is get the word out and get it out as quickly as possible. That’s really important,” Calvo said.

His remedy prioritizes getting the word out as quickly as possible in a sensitive fashion to various constituencies, citing his experience working at Cal State Northridge during the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

“It’s about making the crisis as comfortable for our students, faculty and staff,” he said.

During an open forum, Calvo compared the issue of deferred maintenance at CSUF to the damage done to the CSUN campus after the 1994 earthquake.

“I just learned that deferred maintenance is deferred $250 million at this university, that’s an interesting number,” he said. “The inf lation adjustment value of the recovery of the Northridge earthquake at the Northridge campus was about $580 million—think about that.

Well, 250, think about that.

When it came to management, he said he is a little old fashioned. He would like to have reports done with 60-day goals and controls.

Calvo believes as a supervisor, it is very important to determine what an employee needs in terms of supervision.

If awarded the position, he also wants to be accessible for communication between him and students.

At CSUF, you need to “be prepared to have great conversations with student leadership, with students, with colleague that’s just key,” Calvo said.

If chosen, he hopes his direct effect on students is supporting the allocation of funds.

While Calvo does not have a specific division to allocate resources to, he said it is important to be respectful to all.

“Allocation of resources to the things that matter to student interests–that really comes down to supporting all of the diversions of the university. Student affairs, academic affairs and finding a balance that’s effective,” he said.

Calvo currently serves as the associate vice president for finance and administration/associate treasurer of Claremont Graduate University. There, he has led a task force executing

a new hybrid budget model to support the transformation of academic schools.

He also currently sits on the Western Association of College & University Business Officers Board of Directors.

Calvo is familiar with the CSU. Prior to joining Claremont Graduate University, he served at both Cal State Los Angeles and CSUN. Calvo holds a Master of Business Administration degree from Loyola Marymount University and a B.A. in Music from Sacramento State University.

‘Tent City’ exhibits plight of homeless Event in Quad calls attention to issues of homelessness nationwide ADREANA YOUNG Daily Titan

Being homeless doesn’t always mean begging for money on the sidewalk, wearing tattered rags or sleeping outside on cardboard, anyone can be affected by it. It can be a student in class, or a someone who already has a job.

The Hunger Coalition, a part of Cal State Fullerton’s Volunteer and Service Center, put up a “tent city” exhibit Tuesday in the Quad to bring light to the issue of homelessness and hunger that many people face everyday.

“Out of sight, out of mind,” said David Morales, 21, a project director for the Hunger Coalition. “So, that’s what we’re trying to do here, we’re trying to bring it into people’s sight.”

The exhibit is part of the National Homelessness and Hun-

ger Awareness Week meant to bring attention to the issue of homelessness around the United States.

Morales believes homelessness isn’t a “game changer, it’s not the end of the world,” but it is a cause that needs a voice, he said.

Written in black marker on a piece of cardboard, the tent city exhibit voiced some of the lesser known facts about homelessness. Students were able to pass under the makeshift tent and read statistics about the people that so often go unseen.

“Despite everything, I’m still human,” read one of the signs.

Fifteen percent of Americans in 2012 were living in poverty, read another sign. The average age of a homeless person is 9, read one more.

“I hope people will know more about what is going on (in) society,” Ngoc Dao, 22, a business major, said.

Dao is a volunteer with the Volunteer and Service Center on campus, and he wanted to help

out by collecting canned food and clothes for the homeless.

“I want people to understand that helping people isn’t hard.”

“Bringing awareness is the first step to bringing it to consciousness” David Morales

Project Director, Hunger Coalition The Hunger Coalition began collecting canned food on Halloween when they went trick-or-

treating to collect food. With 40 volunteers, the team collected four barrels full of canned food, Mohammed Khan, 22, an electrical engineering major said.

“People should be motivated (by this),” Khan said. “I hope they donate.”

Barrels are set up on campus in McCarthy Hall, University Hall and in the Pollak Library for people to donate nonperishable food items.

Morales said he hopes that this event will inspire one person to start volunteering, or to do one good thing. Still, he knows it can be difficult.

“We have to pay for tuition,” Morales said. “But some people can’t pay for food.”

In Orange County, 34,998 people are homeless, and 16,332 of them are children. Eightyone percent of homeless men, women and children feel severe hunger, according to the CSUF Volunteer and Service Center.

In 2012 it was reported by the Point In Time nationwide homeless count that 633,782

people were homeless across the United States, and California alone accounted for more than one in five homeless people or 20.7 percent.

Since 2007, homelessness has declined nationwide by 5.7 percent, according to the Point In Time survey.

The Hunger Coalition will be hosting two more events for the Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. A “Poverty 101” workshop will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the Titan Student Union, and Thursday there will be a screening of the documentary Homelessness: The Motel Kids of Orange County.

“I want people to understand that helping isn’t hard,” Morales said. “Bringing awareness is the first step to bringing it to consciousness.”

Friday.

The man was identified in the bulletin as a 6-foot-1-inch, 190-pound white male.

University Police is seeking information related to this incident or similar incidents that may have taken place in the library involving this man, despite his arrest.

The president’s approval drops after Obamacare Obama needs to repair his approval rating after it reached an all-time low ADRIAN GARCIA Daily Titan

If the 2012 presidential election was held a year later, Mitt Romney could have sat in the Oval Office.

According to an ABC News/ Washington Post poll, Romney would hold a slight lead in the popular vote on the president, with 49 percent versus Obama’s 45 percent.

The results are a mirror image of Romney’s four-point popular-vote loss in 2012, according to the poll.

President Barack Obama’s aggressive approach to the Affordable Care Act is seen as the reason for the drop in popular support. It has led to his lowest approval rating since 2008.

After being elected as the 44th President of the United States, Obama was given the reins of the country after a highly unpopular end to former President George W. Bush’s foreign and economic policies. He was the Democratic president to induce change after eight years of dominance by the Republican Party.

Besides all that, Obama

broke the final racial barrier in the country, effectively proving the childhood myth that everybody can be president. Young voters embraced him with open arms, with 66 percent of voters under 30 supporting the Democratic candidate.

However, now with his second term in full force, his legacy is being tainted more and more with the public debacle that is Obamacare.

Admittedly, Obama and his administration mishandled the process of its legislation.

The opposition of the act by the Republican Party led to the government shutdown in early October, leading to criticism by political leaders around the world.

The technical difficulties with the federal web site, HealthCare.gov, has Americans up in arms, complaining they cannot access the government-monitored marketplaces. Seven in 10 Americans said the federal mandate should be delayed until the problems are fixed.

Obama has been under fire before. He faced rough waters with the state of the economy, controversy over health care reform prior to the implementation of Obamacare and environmental concerns such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The difference is he

still had a favorable reputation despite the issues.

All these problems seem miniscule when compared to the Obamacare fiasco.

The Affordable Care Act was supposed to be the big one. It was going to be his legacy, his long-lasting mark on the country. His place in history was to be defined as the man who singlehandedly provided every American with health care.

President Barack Obama’s aggressive approach to the Affordable Care Act is seen as the reason for the drop in popular support.

The president faces an uphill battle to regain the public’s trust. Obama must find a way to rebuild a favorable reputation with Americans while convincing them the health care law will be successful.

Obama entered his second

term with a favorable impression by the majority of Americans, after ending his first term with the capture and death of al-Qaida leader, Osama bin Laden.

For the first time in his two terms, the majority of the public has an unfavorable impression of him. Fifty-two percent of Americans said they have an unfavorable impression of him, while 46 percent said they have a favorable impression, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Although the difference is only slight, it can foreshadow a decline for the future.

The average rating for Obama’s term as president sits at 49 percent, 5 percent less than the average president rating of 54, according to Gallup’s presidential approval ratings.

Obama still has a few years to improve his reputation among the American public.

Technicians are constantly working to improve the website. The administration is still looking for ways to please the public, such as Obama’s announcement that people could keep their current health care plan for a year.

However, his administration needs to act fast in order to restore his positive image before it plummets to an alltime low.

#BANNED LINES British universities should expose the sexism in the song instead of banning it ELLIOT LAM

Daily Titan

Last week, more than 20 universities across the United Kingdom banned Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” from being played in student union spaces.

The action was taken because students felt the song promoted rape culture in addition to perpetuating the notion that it was okay to objectify women, according to The Guardian.

Although the aims of the ban are admirable, its methods are questionable.

In the eyes of the student unions, banning “Blurred Lines” should be taken as a sign that the derogatory acts toward women are unacceptable. However, there is nothing from the ban itself that will prevent sexual assault or sexism from happening on university campuses.

Students who want to listen to the song can continue to listen to it on their iPods or on the radio.

This is not in any way an endorsement of “Blurred Lines,” or the sexist behavior it aggrandizes. It is an opportunity to explore the role that Thicke’s song plays in the worldwide struggle against patriarchy.

Instead of an outright ban, the growing popularity of “Blurred Lines” should be an opportunity for faculty to engage with students about why Thicke’s song is problematic.

Right before the chorus, Thicke (speaking to a woman) says, “Okay now he was close, tried to domesticate you. But you’re an animal, baby, it’s in your nature. Just let me liberate you.” These lines can be construed to mean that a woman needs a man to become civilized.

In this particular instance, the woman Thicke is speaking to is incapable of being tamed, so Thicke suggests that she should give into her innate desires and allow him to “liberate” her.

The idea that men are the ones who civilize women implies that men are the final arbiters who get to decide what is acceptable behavior and that women cannot control their own destinies.

Domestication, the process Thicke puts forth as necessary for women, involves behavior where women cannot be explicit about their sexual desires, although men can. Instead of challenging patriarchy, a system of society where men hold all the power, Thicke is reaffirming it.

In the music video, Thicke is accompanied by T.I. and Phar-

rell Williams, all of whom are fully dressed. This is contrasted heavily with the women who are dancing beside them, barely wearing anything.

The nudity symbolizes the lack of privacy women are afforded in aspects of their lives, from their thoughts to the breaths they take. All must be revealed to their masters. It also perpetuates the idea that women should not dress for the purpose of functionality, but in a way that entertains and pleases men.

The women remain silent throughout the music video as the three men do all of the talking and singing. Although this may appear to be harmless, it actually normalizes the submission of women. Their forced silence makes it appear as if they have no problem with having their lives dictated to them, suggesting that women who watch the music video also should not object to this type of treatment by men.

What’s more, the women in the video are adorned with jewelry whereas the men are wearing none. This feature, which would normally be seen as empowering, has been inverted to become oppressive to the women in Thicke’s video.

As the balance of power is skewed towards Thicke and his two male colleagues, the jewelry’s purpose is to correct the imbalance created by their uneven worth. The value of women is already assumed to be lower than that of men, so women need the added value of the jewelry to compensate.

Showing both the men and the women in the video without jewelry, in the paradigm that Thicke has created, would have insinuated that both sexes are equal.

The textual analysis of Thicke’s lyrics and the cultural analysis of his video, which underscored the sexism in his song, were only made possible by the privilege that this author has had in being marginally educated on feminism.

Quite frankly, this author’s knowledge of the subject happened by chance, as he came across influences who thought he should know.

It is unfortunate that society expects everyone to understand what sexism and feminism are without putting in resources and regulations into institutions of learning to make this expectation a reality.

Banning “Blurred Lines” at universities closes the opportunity for meaningful conversation by experts who can better articulate its inherent flaws.

Inspecting Carol, a comedic play about the holiday season, will premiere at Cal State Fullerton’s Young Theatre on Friday Nov. 22.

Directed by Joseph Arnold, Ph.D., the production is based on a Russian play called The Government Inspector, in which villagers mistake a stranger for a government official and cater to his every need.

Inspecting Carol puts a holiday spin to the satirical play The play follows a small theater company in the Midwest that is expecting an evaluator from the National Endowment of the Arts to decide whether or not their grant will be renewed.

Instead, they mistake an aspiring actor as the evaluator, creating comedic consequences as the company attempts to organize its annual production of A Christmas Carol.

“The play brings together an assortment of personalities and egos in the midst of trying to remount their Christmas fundraiser with only four days of rehearsal,” Arnold said.

Inspecting Carol is a play within a play, where the actors

on stage portray actors in a theater production.

Set in 1991, the same year A Christmas Carol originally debuted on Broadway, the characters dress in costumes that are very distinct to ‘90s fashion.

When the actors finally enter performance mode, they switch to clothing in the style of Charles Dickens.

Amanda Arbues, 27, who has a master’s in acting, plays Zorah Block, the artistic director of the play’s theater company.

“I think our designers have done an amazing job of really giving it that holiday feel,” Arbues said.

She said her character is an extremely passionate, hottempered Lithuanian woman.

“I’m Argentine and Mexican,” Arbues said. “We have that Latin f lair and passion to us … so I found that I was able to relate.”

Arbues said she was a drama queen in high school and had no problem tapping into her inner diva for this role. “(Arnold) casted this show very well,” Arbues said. “Because there are glimpses of all of us in our characters.”

The characters are pressured by situations beyond their control and experience more drama off-stage than in the production itself, Arnold said.

“The play is meant to entertain,” Arnold said. “It is a

loving, comic and sometimes fractured ‘Christmas card’ that is perfect for the end of our fall semester and the beginning of the holiday season.”

To embrace the holiday spirit, Christmas music will resonate throughout the Young Theatre before the play and during intermission, Arbues said, who studied acting at New York University.

Inspecting Carol is also about community and coming together during the holidays, Arbues said.

“It very much has this holiday feel,” Arbues said. “Which is great because a lot of people love the holidays.”

Arbues said she never does the same performance twice.

“I believe that every performance will be different,” Arbues said. “It’s really going to be a lot of fun.”

Jordan Kubat, 26, a master’s of acting student, plays Wayne Wellacre, the theater’s hopeful who is mistaken for an informer.

Kubat described Wellacre as an “everyman.”

“He’s just a dreamer who’s trying to pursue this crazy acting dream,” Kubat said. “He’s a

little bit dorky and a little bit eclectic … his humor is similar to mine.”

Before turning to acting, Kubat’s character worked in data entry, which Kubat did himself while living in New York for a year.

Inspecting Carol is definitely a comedy, but its dark side and crude language also makes it a farce, Kubat said.

“Crude language is sometimes necessary when you need to express your feelings,” he said. “There are also suggested sexual situations as well.”

It is important to gauge audience reaction, Kubat said.

Since no audience is exactly alike, he always keeps an eye on what works and what doesn’t.

“The audience definitely has a heartbeat,” he said. “As an actor, you have to pay attention to that.”

Inspecting Carol is all about pursuing your dreams and having fun, Kubat said.

Inspecting Carol runs through Dec. 15. Tickets are $11 for general admission and $10 with an advance Titan discount.

It’s the 20th time you’ve heard “Deck the Halls” this week. It’s only Monday and you still haven’t made it past November.

The lines are getting longer, your shifts end later and the customers are just a little more “grinchy” than usual.

Parking is a nightmare and some employers even demand that you arrive to work early so you can be shuttled into the mall by the masses.

Extended holiday hours have begun and the 2013 holiday season 2013 has commenced.

Working retail during the holiday season isn’t easy. An already a hectic work and school schedule just got a little harder to squeeze into a seven-day week.

After six years of working in retail during the holidays, I have had my fair share of Yuletide blues.

At times, it can be depressing to see everyone else out shopping and having a good time while you’re stuck with a neverending pile of go-backs.

Working during the holiday can also bring in a lot of extra money students will be thankful for in January.

Many students find giving up a holiday party here and there does the wallet good.

For the students who will be taking on the holiday season from behind the register, here are some tips to surviving the holiday season, all while working retail and prepping for finals.

1. Accept the Christmas music That’s right, just accept it. After the countless renditions of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” I still try to enjoy the festive music just a little.

I have even heard of some retail employees who have changed the words into antiholiday anthems.

However for me, when it comes to Christmas music I say if you can beat them? Join ‘em!

2. Bring your own lunch Don’t even think about dragging yourself out of your crazy store just to find yourself in an even crazier food court. That lady who was just yelling at you for not having gift boxes is now yelling at the man working the corndog stand for not having deli-

style mustard.

Save yourself the trouble and the money and bring your lunch for the next few weeks.

3. Save the heels for another day If you’re working retail, chances are you’ve gotten some killer deals on some fabulous shoes. I may be committing a fashion sin by saying this, but leave the heels at home no matter how amazing they may make your legs look.

After a hectic nine-hour shift you will be icing your feet for hours after work.

Trust me on this one, stick to f lats.

4. Be patient with your customers Or at least try to be patient.

Anyone who has worked in any kind of service industry has most likely been served a verbal beatdown by an angry customer.

While I’m not suggesting employees sit back and take all the insults lying down, I do suggest taking into consideration how stressful the season can be.

Rest easy knowing whatever this out-of-control customer does, it will always be a humorous breakroom story to tell!

5. Take your breaks

By California state law you may take a 30-minute unpaid break if you’re working more than five hours. Employees are also entitled to a 10-minute break for every four hours worked. Take your breaks and don’t feel guilty about it.

Drink a lot of water, caffeinate yourself throughout your shift, check out the cute cats on Instagram and get back to work.

6. Bring study guides or books to work Even though it’s the most wonderful time of the year, it is also time for finals. Of course, the busiest times of the year at school and in retail must collide into one superstorm of a month we call December. Whether it’s 10 minutes on lunch or five minutes on the shuttle back to your car, have your homework handy so you have less to do at home when 25 Days of Christmas is on.

These are just a few tips for surviving working retail this glorious season. Try to enjoy the holidays no matter how much eggnog it takes.

Cheers!

Singers to perform with jazz legend

The Don Shelton Quartet and faculty will accompany Jazz Singers ERICA MAHONEY Daily Titan

Kick off Thanksgiving break with classic jazz hits, brought to you by the Cal State Fullerton Jazz Singers.

The Jazz Singers will croon the night away Thursday at Meng Concert Hall.

The performance will include “I’m Beginning to See the Light” by Duke Ellington, Don George, Johnny Hodges and Harry James; “Down by the Riverside,” a traditional gospel song; “Señor Blues” by Horace Silver; “Before You Know It” by John Proulx and K. Lawrence Dunham; and “Mr. P.C.” by John Coltrane.

The Jazz Singers will also be accompanied by the Don Shelton Quartet, who will play various swing, ballad and blues standards.

John Proulx, the conducting professor for the Jazz Singers, is a Grammy awardwinning artist, including his song “Before You Know It” which was co-written with lyricist K. Lawrence Dunham for Mary Stallings’ 2010 album Dream.

In 2006, Proulx co-wrote “These Golden Years” with D. Channsin Berry on her album Turned to Blue. Again working with Dunham, Proulx helped write the song “Stuck in a Dream” for Mary Stalling’s 2005 album Remember Love.

In addition to composing, Proulx is also a talented singer and pianist, and just released his third album for the label MAXJAZZ titled The Best Thing for You, coproduced by CSUF professor Bill Cunliffe.

Cunliffe conducts CSUF’s Jazz Orchestra, the Jazz Big Band and the Latin Ensemble. Proulx and Cunliffe had the honor of touring in Changsha, China at the Orange Island International Jazz Festival.

The Jazz Singers is a weekly class composed of 12 students, all of whom will be performing in showcase Thursday. Many will be featured as soloists. These will include both rehearsed and improvised solos.

The first half of the night will feature the Jazz Singers,

accompanied by the CSUF Jazz Trio. The second half will feature the Don Shelton Quartet, accompanied by CSUF faculty members including Proulx, Paul Kreibich and Luther Hughes.

Kreibich and Hughes are both professors in jazz studies and commercial music.

Hughes, who specializes in bass guitar, records with his own band Luther Hughes & the Cannonball-Coltrane Project, who received national recognition for their 2011 album Things are Getting Better.

Hughes instructs classes on both the electric and double bass guitar.

Kreibich has toured internationally as a drummer for jazz icons like the Ray Charles Band, the Gene Harris Quartet and Carmen McRae. Kreibich teaches the jazz drum set at Fullerton.

Don Shelton, a reed player, began his music career at the U.S. Navy School of Music in 1952.

He later moved to Los Angeles where he joined the Trends, singers for a popular radio show, and in 1959 he became a member of the a cappella group, the Hi-Lows.

In addition to singing, he can play the clarinet, alto saxophone and flute.

The Jazz Singers’ set covers a wide range of rhythm, from medium swing, to funk, to samba.

The most recognized ballad they’ll be singing is “Georgia on my Mind,” music by Hoagy Carmichael and lyrics

by Stuart Gorrell. Although this song was first recorded in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and his Orchestra, it didn’t become a hit until Ray Charles covered it in 1960 featured on his Genius Hits the Road album.

Don Shelton will be accompanying the Jazz Singers’ rendition of “Georgia.”

Proulx encourages everyone to come see the performance Thursday.

“They’ve worked really hard all semester and the audience will be sure to have a good time. Plus, Don Shelton is a wonderful musician and is not to be missed,” Proulx said.

Make sure to grab tickets while you can; they’re only $8 with your Titan discount. The performance begins at 8 p.m. on Thursday at the Meng Concert Hall.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s choir and men’s choir is gearing up for one of the last musical performances of the year.

The two groups will share the stage tonight in a rip-roaring concert.

The 80-person women’s choir will perform music from Benjamin Britten, Susan Borwick, Craig Hella Johnson, John Rutter and R. Murray Schafer.

The 43-member Men’s Chorus will feature music from Rachel Stenson, Jacob Handl, Mark Sirett, J. Michael Dorough, Joseph Jennings, Bruno Mars and the Scottish Folk Song, “Loch Lomond.”

Robert Istad and Christopher Peterson will be the conductors of the performance.

“Missa Brevis” is one of the main pieces that will be performed by women’s choir during the show Wednesday.

This year marks the 100th birthday of Benjamin Britten, a famous English composer who died in 1976. In celebration, CSUF will pay tribute to the musician by taking part in the “Britten 100,” where several venues across Los Angeles will hold a

concert dedicated to Britten.

“The women have learned the piece really well,” said Robert Istad, Ph.D., CSUF professor and director of the women’s choir.

“It’s going to be a beautiful performance.”

Istad said he chose Britten because he wanted to be part of the celebration of the composer’s birth.

The concert will feature several themes including women’s suffrage, styles of poetry and religious undertones.

The women’s performance will also include solos sung by students in the choir. Jessica Dalley, 18, a music major, and Katherine Martini are two of those solo performances.

The two will be singing a piece from Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem (1962), in the Benedictus section.

Dalley and Martini will be transitioning from one part of the musical composition to another.

She said their solo part will be “a change of pace” to the concert as they come together in the end for a duet.

Another major work that will be featured is a piece by Craig Hella Johnson. The piece of work will feature “distich poetry,” which is a two-line verse that will combine women’s choir and piano.

“We’re singing really difficult pieces, so it will be really exciting

to share how those work with everyone,” Dalley said.

The musical pieces picked out for the women’s choir to sing fits the group, she said.

“We have such a unique blend and tone quality to us,” Dalley said.

“I always try to have a variety of music. I want old songs, new songs, fast songs, slow songs and the right mix to keep the audience listening and enjoying our music.”

Chris Peterson Director

Jason Pano, a graduate student studying music, will be conducting “Gamelan,” one of the last performances sung by the women.

Dorothy poems will also be sung to inspire and move the audience.

The men’s Choir will perform a contemporary a capella version of “Just the Way You Are”

by Bruno Mars, along with other musical pieces from various composers. The oldest piece that will be performed was written in 1570.

“I always try to have a variety of music,” said Chris Peterson, Ph.D., CSUF professor and director of the men’s choir. “I want old songs, new songs, fast songs, slow songs and the right mix to keep the audience listening and enjoying our music.”

He said it should be interesting seeing how both of the choir’s pieces work together and how they contrast.

The audience should expect to be enlightened by poetry and how their repertoire focuses on them as women, Dalley said.

Also featured is a spiritual song that is about being a woman from a speech that was given during the women’s rights movement.

The men and women will not be singing together in this performance, but will be at CSUF’s Deck the Hall concert on Dec. 15.

The campus puts together large holiday concerts featuring all four of the choirs singing together.

The concert is set to last about one hour and 15 minutes and will start at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Tickets for the concert are $10 and $8 with an advance Titan discount.

Pepe’s: King of Breakfast ETHAN HAWKES Daily Titan

Whoever thought up the idea of cramming every single breakfast item into a tortilla is a genius.

It combines two of the best types of food, breakfast and Mexican.

There are many places around campus if you’re looking for a quick drive-through breakfast burrito. Taco Bell, Del Taco and Jack in the Box are a few of the most obvious and convenient choices, but if you’re craving something a little more than a run-of-the-mill fast food burrito, look no further than Pepe’s finest Mexican food.

Located off of Placentia Ave., near Nutwood Avenue, this small chain fast food restaurant lives up to it’s motto by serving some of the “finest” Mexican food Fullerton has to offer.

“Finest” is a very opinionated subject when it comes to Mexican food.

Some people love Chipotle and say it has the best Mexican food.

Others swear by taco trucks and hole-in-the-wall places with names that will make any nonSpanish speaker trip over their own tongue.

I prefer the latter, and as far as fast food restaurants go, Pepe’s is a bit more street than class.

The drive through experience isn’t the fastest or cleanest. Some of the signs are missing the prices, they don’t take credit cards and there is a 65 cent fee for using a debit card. All of this is typical for a small-scale restaurant.

But once the food is ready, it’s like heaven in a bag. Sure, Pepe’s offers other food, but their breakfast burrito is what they’re known for.

Swaddled like a newborn baby and having the heft of one, the breakfast burrito is packed to the brim with all essential parts of the first meal of the day.

Egg, potatoes, cheese, beans, a pinch of spinach and the choice of either sausage, bacon or both push the tortilla to its limit.

Pepe’s

821 North Placentia Ave.

Mexican, Fast food

Distance: .4 miles from campus

Covered in the right amount of taco sauce, being a hefty size and at about $5.50, the quality and the quantity of the burrito are both top notch.

The filling doesn’t come off as greasy, since the potatoes absorb most of the grease and taco sauce in a tofu-like way.

Downing this beast provides the consumer with an everevolving experience of taste due to the sheer amount of ingredients being packed in different ways.

It takes a while to down this tornado of breakfast food.

Half of the burrito left me satisfied for the rest of the day.

It can’t be healthy to have half a burrito as my only form of sustenance for the day, but it sure was inexpensive.

There is other food at Pepe’s, and although it’s not as exquisite as the breakfast burrito, it’s still a solid choice for a more authentic Mexican food experience at a drive through.

I tried a shredded beef taco wrapped in a husky burrito that was copiously covered in diced tomatoes and shredded cheese.

The generous amount of tomatoes really helped to make the taco lighter than it would have been, and overall it was a satisfying experience.

It’s hard to break out and try other parts of the menu when the breakfast burrito is so damn good.

If it’s your first time, I’d recommend to try the best and go with the breakfast burrito, but judging from the small sample size I had, the rest of the menu seems pretty safe.

To anyone who enjoys burritos and/or breakfast foods, this place won’t disappoint.

If you don’t, the rest of the menu is still pretty good, but there are a number of untried Mexican restaurants around Fullerton that could be even better. Tweet at us @Daily_Titan if you know of any!

Baseball hosts last fall tuneup on Family Fun Day Six pitchers saw action in the scrimmage after the kids went through drills IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team gathered at Goodwin Field for their final day of fall baseball on Saturday, but not before they gave back to the community.

Family Fun Day, a free annual baseball clinic held by Titan players and coaches, took place Saturday morning. Participating kids had the opportunity to develop skills such as pitching, hitting and fielding ground balls.

Chad Baum, a volunteer assistant coach for the baseball team, served as the supervisor for Family Fun Day. “Just as a community outreach, it’s a good way for us to

promote our camps and a good way for the community to come in and watch our last day of fall practice,” Baum said.

The Family Fun Day experience was enhanced with the return of Titan baseball alumni.

Players who the Titans lost to the Major League Baseball draft after the 2013 season came to Goodwin Field to help out with the event and reunite with their former teammates.

These players included catcher Chad Wallach, shortstop Richy Pedroza and first baseman Carlos Lopez.

“Those guys come out like three times a week. I was actually talking with Richy (Pedroza) in the dugout. He was taking ground balls yesterday,” Head Coach Rick Vanderhook said.

Wallach and Lopez were both drafted by the Miami Marlins, and Pedroza was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals.

After Family Fun Day ended, the Titans participated in an intrasquad scrimmage, marking their final fall scrimmage.

Six pitchers threw on the mound in the scrimmage.

Sophomore starting ace Thomas Eshelman kicked things off for the Titans, and junior starting pitcher Grahamm Wiest followed suit.

Freshman prospect Phil Bickford, who was drafted 10th overall in the 2013 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, shined in the scrimmage with three innings of work. He retired every batter he faced without allowing a hit.

“It’s a sigh of relief. Fall’s been a grind and the coaches are happy. We’re happy. During the talk they said that we’ve come a long way, and pretty much it’s a sigh of relief,” Bickford said.

The other pitchers who threw on the mound were freshman Chad Hockin, junior Tyler

Highlights from the Titan hitters included a home run from junior outfielder Clay Williamson, who figures to receive more significant playing time than last year. The home run gave Williamson a boost of confidence.

“Yeah, (the home run) definitely does (give me confidence). This fall’s been good for our whole team and we should be pretty good this year, definitely on the offensive side of it,” Williamson said.

Junior outfielder Austin Diemer also made significant contributions to the scrimmage from the hitters’ side with four hits.

The Titans had plenty of reason to be optimistic as they reached the NCAA Super Regional series before getting knocked out by eventual College World Series champion

Freshman forward Joe Boyd can’t capitalize on his free throw attempt. Boyd went 0-2 from the charity stripe.

Michael Williams and Marquis Horne added 10 points each for the Titans as well.

“We definitely improved (in the second half), but we’re still trying to find our identity,” Blackwell said.

Throughout the night, the Titans seemed to be outmatched and outpaced by a bigger, more physical USC team.

Trojans guard Byron Wesley was also able to torch Fullerton’s defense with 22 points on 7-of-14 shooting, while Howard added 11 on the night.

Poor free-throw shooting also hurt the Titans, who at

will look to find an answer for their opponents’ big men, who were able to dominate the paint and score at will in the past few games.

That will certainly be a point of emphasis for Taylor and the coaching staff as the season progresses.

“More than anything, it’s a lesson for our group,” Taylor said. “First of all, you can’t come in here and expect to win a game when you shoot 7-of-18 from the free-throw line, turn the ball over 17 times and only have nine assists. That’s the exact opposite of a winning statistic.”

Women’s basketball travel to New York to face the undefeated Albany Danes ABRAHAM JAUREGUI Daily Titan

Looking for their first win of 2013-2014 season, the Cal State Fullerton’s women’s basketball team will travel cross-country to the state of New York to take on the University of Albany today.

This will be the Titans’ first road game of the season, and it comes against the tough and undefeated Great Danes (3-0), who are coming off back-toback America East Conference championships.

It has been tough so far for the Titans (0-2), who dropped their first two home games of the season. First-year Head Coach Daron Park and his new coaching staff are hoping to turn around the season as they lead the Titans on this extended road trip and won’t be returning back to Titan Gym until Dec. 4 when they face University of San Diego.

For the Titans, they have struggled on offense as they are

still trying to find rhythm and consistency. So far in their two losses, the Titans are shooting a 41.1 total field goal percentage, an abysmal 22.6 percent from beyond the three-point line and turning the ball over at an alarming rate of 19 per game.

Leading the Titans this year has been returning starter and last season’s leading scorer, junior guard Chante Miles, as she leads the team in scoring (14), assists (2.5) and steals (2.5) a game.

Miles is shooting a stellar 52.2 total field goal percentage from the field, but has struggled from beyond the three-point arc with a low 28.6 percent.

Another returning athlete and leading Titan for the team this season has been junior forward Kathleen Iwuoha.

Coming off the bench has been different for Iwuoha, but she has produced for the Titans scoring 11.5 per game and leading the team with an outstanding 58.8 total field goal percentage.

Iwuoha is also tied with junior forward Natalie Williams in leading the Titans in rebounds this season with 5.5 a game.

Sophomore guard Hailey King has also shown a bright spot for the Titans, as she is third on the team with 9.5 points per game.

As for the Great Danes, they are coming off an exceptional season where they went 27-4, 16-0 in the America East Conference, and a berth into the NCAA Tournament, before losing in the first round to the University of North Carolina.

Albany lost four starters from last season’s team, but seven players are returning, including offensive threats Shereesha Richards and Sarah Royals.

Richards will be a tough test for the Titans’ defense. In their three wins, Richards is leading Albany in scoring with a phenomenal 22 points and 12 rebounds per game. Richards leads the team in shooting with a 67 total field goal percentage.

Royals is second on the Great Danes with 15.3 points per game and is setting up her teammates with a team leading 6.3 assists per game. She has also been deadly from outside, shooting 57 percent from three-point land.

Margarita Rosario is third on the Great Danes with 8.7 points per game, but she leads the team with her defensive presence and team-leading 2.7 steals a game.

As a team, the Great Danes love to pressure the ball and create turnovers.

They’re causing their opponents to average 14.7 turnovers per game, which could be a problem for the Titans.

After the University of Albany, it’s a quick turnaround trip to New York City as the Titans take on Columbia University on Friday.
