Jameelah Lane, a Cal State Fullerton student (left) and Jillian Perkins, a sociology major (right), lead demonstrators down State College Avenue Friday in protest of recent court rulings on the deaths of Eric Garner and Mike Brown. The “we can’t breathe” gesture grew to national prominence following the choking death of Eric Garner at the hands of a New York City police officer.

Firing back on police violence

In wake of decisions on recent killings by police, students and faculty speak out in protest

CYNTHIA PLEITEZ Daily Titan Over 30 demonstrators gathered on campus Thursday in response to the recent court

rulings on the deaths of Eric Garner and Mike Brown.

The protest was a strategic effort in response to the recent violence, riots and court decisions not to indict officers in the recent cases that are making national headlines.

Demonstrators, faculty among them, took their

protest from the central Quad to a march along Chapman Avenue, before arriving at the Fullerton Police Department, but not before generating mixed and controversial reactions from community members.

“Basically, the protest was a peaceful response letting

them know that our lives do matter. We want to show the police department that we’re here. We matter and we are going to show you that we matter,” said Black Student Union member and biochemistry major Chimezie Mbanu.

Some members of the

community vocally opposed the message of the demonstrators, including a woman who was seen by the group pointing her fingers in the shape of a gun and pretending to shoot, Mbanu said.

Upon arriving at the Fullerton Police Department, protesters continued chanting

“hands up, don’t shoot” and “all lives matter.”

After their chants, protesters lay on the ground as a representation of the final resting positions of the African American lives that were recently lost.

Donation aids oral history Center moves closer to $3.5 million goal to fund new 17,000 square foot facility and archive

CESAR GAMBOA Daily Titan A $150,000 donation from the William Lyon family will go toward moving the Center for Oral and Public History to a state-of-the-art archiving facility in a renovated sixth floor of Pollak Library.

The Center for Oral and Public History preserves narrated autobiographical recordings, including those of Lyon himself, a businessman and former Air Force Reserves brass. Lyon’s father, Abraham, was interviewed in 1975 by Gary Shumway, Ph.D., the founding director of the center.

The Lyon family, fueled by William’s long career in home building, has been devoted to philanthropy in Orange County and has pledged money to many other organizations, such as the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and the Boy Scouts of America, said Natalie Fousekis, Ph.D., director of the Center for Oral and Public History and associate professor of history.

The $150,000 donation, however, is the family’s first major gift to CSUF, she said.

The center has raised over $920,000 in cash and pledges over the last three years in an effort to reach a $1.25 million

fundraising goal to meet the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) challenge grant.

Challenge grants from the endowment are meant to provide long-term support for humanities programs and resources, including projects like the renovation for the Center for Oral and Public History. Over the past five years, the endowment has received an average of 103 applicants per year for the grant, but has awarded just 18 a year on average.

Fousekis’ hope is to raise $3.5 million for a nearly-17,000-square foot, climate-controlled facility to protect the center’s historic compilation of recordings as well as house the University Archives of Special Collections, also located in Pollak Library.

The center’s research area will be named “The William Lyon Family Reading Room.”

The challenge was assisted by the Cal State Fullerton Philanthropic Foundation Board of Governors.

The center, part of the Department of History and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, is home to the largest oral history archive in California. Included in that archive is a collection of preserved stories of special individuals and communities.

The Becker Amphitheater will host local ska rock band Suburban Legends for a concert Wednesday. The event will also include free pizza and a chance to win movie tickets. This will be the last concert for ASI Productions’ Wednesday Concert Series.

Local ska band to play the Becker

Suburban Legends will play CSUF in last installment of Wednesday concert series

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan Orange County ska band Suburban Legends will be rocking the Becker Amphitheater with their signature blend of ska covers and original compositions Wednesday at noon.

The concert will be the last performance of the

semester for Associated Students, Inc.’s Wednesday Concert Series at the Becker Amphitheater, and part of a lineup of events for Associated Students’ Productions Week.

Associated Students Concert Coordinator Doris Munoz said there will be pizza provided at Wednesday’s concert for people who attend.

At the end of the concert, there will be an opportunity to win movie tickets.

“We’re hoping for a big crowd,” Munoz said.

“We’re giving out free food; and where there’s food, there will be college students.”

Munoz said she’s also hoping that because the Suburban Legends are well known locally, many people will turn out to the Becker to see them.

The band is originally from Orange County. They got their start in the Huntington Beach area and

have since gained a following from ska music enthusiasts in Southern California and across the country.

The band has released a number of albums, the most recent of which was 2013’s Dreams Aren’t Real But These Songs Are, Vol. 1.

The album—a compendium of cover songs—embodies a third-wave ska sound with banging drums, crunching guitars and horns.

The center adds real value to the campus, Fousekis said, but is outdated.

The center, currently located on the third floor of the south side of Pollak Library, does not meet satisfactory needs to preserve their historic material, Fousekis said. “(It’s) not a very grand space,” she said. “All of our archival materials, which some of them go back to the mid 1960s, are not in a climate-controlled

facility, which is best practice for preserving old, historic material.”

CSUF adopted the center as a funding priority in 2009.

In 2011, the center received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities Grant in the amount of $425,000, Fousekis said. That type of funding wasn’t available to the center before they received the grant, she said.

“It’s a grant that’s meant to inspire new giving, so they want programs like

Art students air concerns at forum Students call on administrators for transparency and changes to class scheduling

ROSELYNNE REYES Daily Titan Transparency was the topic of discussion at a Friday open forum prompted in part by a Facebook group where disgruntled students shared their concerns about the visual arts department.

The group, CSUF Student Artists Value Education, promoted the forum in which students shared their concerns with Department Chair Jade Jewett and Vice Chair John Drew.

Students shared their concerns about splitting six-hour upper division studio classes to three-hour classes twice a week.

Some students brought up the issue that the change has affected their work and internship schedules, as the split classes mean an extra day on campus, which takes away from the time students can spend at outside commitments.

There were some positive notes as well, mainly about the addition of a Cintiq lab, which offers state-of-theart workstations and a variety of new software.

Although they appreciate the new software in these labs, students said they also want a beginners course in the software to teach them how to use it. The popularity of the lab is great, Jewett said, but the fact that it’s new for everyone is a drawback.

The lab is open 24/7, allowing students to access computers and available software anytime there isn’t a class in the room.

Students also had issues with class times, with 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 4-10 p.m. classes now being held from 1-7 p.m., which allows students to take only one class a day. However, Jewett points out that logistically it is easier for teachers who don’t want to work late at night and students who need to use the open computer lab.

“I also have to work with the preferred schedule of the instructors,” Jewett said. “You all need open lab time, how do we schedule? Because then you wouldn’t have any open lab time in the room if (classes) went to 10.”

The majority of stu-

“

orient their schedules.

“Hopefully we can get instruction money, but it hasn’t come yet,” Jewett said.

To combat registration issues, Jewett recommends taking a general education class concurrently with major-specific classes from the beginning. However, transfer students, who don’t have the option of spacing out their classes, comprise 65 percent of the department, Drew said.

In addition, she invited students to help contribute to the program by helping her find more teachers, a problem that contributes to the lack of classes. Jewett invited students to contact

The animation area has the blessing and curse of having grown very quickly in a short time ... Unfortunately, the budgets haven’t boomed yet.

dents were from the animation and illustration departments. Rapid growth in the animation department, Jewett said, has left the department scrambling to keep funding up to pace with enrollment.

“The animation area has the blessing and the curse of having grown very quickly in a short time,” she said. “Since 2008, this major has really boomed.

Unfortunately, the budgets haven’t boomed yet.”

Due to this lack of funding, some classes were added at the last minute, staying closed until the minute the department received the sufficient funding and giving students a short time to

their alumni friends who may be interested in teaching a class.

“According to some of the teachers, we need more professors who are qualified to teach these classes,” Jewett said.

Nevertheless, Jewett is optimistic about the program because it is successful where other programs are not.

“One of the best things about this program that I’ve learned over the last year at these national conventions is that we have the broadest range of programs still healthy. We have great facilities, and that distinguishes our department nationally,” Jewett said.

Correction A story titled “Two teams advance to moot court nationals” erroneously excluded a third team that advanced to compete at the national level.

Competitor Amanda Carreno’s name was misspelled in a courtesy photo credit

line.

Additionally, a quote regarding the independence of Moot Court was taken out of context in a way which discredited contributions made by the team’s faculty advisor.

Police have yet to find a match to a partial license plate in a hit-and-run accident in Riverside that occurred outside the Mission Inn’s annual Festival of Lights, according to CBS. The victims were part of an anti-police brutality protest of about 50 people.

Witnesses said three to four people were struck by a dark-colored BMW, but no one required hospital attention. Police said the car may have run over two of the demonstrators’ feet, and one protester suffered minor injuries.

Protesters said demonstrations were peaceful when the hitand-run occurred, but other witnesses say the activists were deliberately blocking traffic.

LA couple returns from Qatar An Asian American couple returned home to Pasadena Thursday after being detained in Qatar for nearly two years.

Matt and Grace Huang, who were first arrested in 2013, were cleared in the death of their adopted daughter and allowed to return to the U.S. Officials claimed the Huangs starved their 8-year-old daughter, Gloria, with the intent of selling her organs in the black market.

Despite a botched autopsy, the couple was convicted of child endangerment after officials refused to believe that the couple’s daughter died of an eating disorder.

An appeals judge overturned the conviction last week.

President Barack Obama approved the Navy SEALS’ raid after getting information that Somers was to be executed Saturday morning.

After a firefight broke out, an al-Qaida member shot Somers and Korkie.

Korkie and Somers were loaded onto a plane and flown to a U.S. ship. One hostage died before reaching the ship, the other after the plane landed.

Students snooze in flash nap CYNTHIA PLEITEZ Daily Titan

Generally, etiquette dictates that napping at school is reserved for areas that are unobtrusive and provide some privacy.

But etiquette went out the window at precisely 11:20 a.m. Thursday when

students en-masse used the seats and floor of Steven G. Mihaylo Hall as a good place for a nap.

The “flash nap,” a lethargic spin on the “flash mob” trend, in the foyer of Mihaylo Hall was organized by the university and the CSUFNaps Instagram account. Students were encouraged to lie down for a

nap when lullaby music started and, once the music ended, get up and head to class as if nothing unusual had happened.

Those who were not aware of the flash mob-style nap stood around the napping students in a state of pleasant surprise.

The flash nap gave students a lighthearted way to bond, said Chantell Padilla, a

psychology graduate student.

“I think it brings kind of everyone together and creates a campus camaraderie,” Padilla said.

The event played into students’ need for—and lack of—sleep, she added.

“It’s great, I think we all need naps,” Padilla said.

MARIAH CARRILLO/ DAILY TITAN

Students participated in the “flash nap” Thursday in the foyer of the Steven G. Mihaylo Hall. Students were encouraged to come out and, once a lullaby began to play, nap wherever they were, then stand up and move along as if nothing unusual had happened once the music ended.

Following the demonstrations at the station, the Black Student Union and Afro Ethnic Student Association (AESA) presidents

led a moment of silence and discussed the importance of their rally, being politically active and bringing the community together through awareness about bringing about social change.

The Black Student Union is planning more events around Black History Month in February, but no specifics have been announced. For now, the union is focused on bringing awareness to

incidents when they feel the black community has not received justice.

“I would basically like to see everybody just come together and be able to have that in their minds that

they’re about to make a difference; there’s about to be a change. I want them to also be a part of making the change and getting things done,” Mbanu said.

OPINION ARTIC was a poor idea from the start

PAGE 5 DECEMBER 8, 2014 MONDAY

Anaheim’s new transit station is a $187.8 million solution to a nonexistent problem

ROSELYNNE REYES Daily Titan Anaheim’s new transportation center seeks to solve a problem the city doesn’t have.

The Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) is now fully operational as of Dec. 6, with a grand opening scheduled for Saturday.

The 67,000-square foot depot is covered in lights and can be seen glowing from the CA-57 freeway between Honda Center and Angel Stadium.

However, the new transportation center is the last thing Anaheim needs. It’s an unnecessary cost to the city, and its only purpose would be to replace a fully functional transportation station.

The center is expected to cost the county $187.8 million, funded mostly through a voter-approved halfcent sales tax that goes toward transit improvements.

At the rate it’s going, the price tag will increase for taxpayers.

It will cost more than $3.6 million to maintain and operate ARTIC through the end of the fiscal year in June. As of now, ARTIC’s only definite revenue is the $510,708 in annual rent collected from the four concessionaires, according to the Orange County Register.

Although there were other attempts to bring in revenue, so far they have failed, leaving the transit station to open in debt.

A naming-rights partner has yet to be found, which

Two more commercial spaces are available for rent in the ARTIC, which could increase anticipated rent of the station to $800,000 a year.

the city was depending on as the primary source of income for the center. Last month, Anaheim’s Planning Commision also rejected plans for an 84-foot digital billboard in front of the center and along the freeway, citing the citywide ban on billboards which has been in place since 2006.

Originally expected to be a financially independent transportation station, this lack of revenue no doubt will place a further financial burden on the city of Anaheim and its taxpayers.

Not only that, but the project should have never gone through in the first place.

Originally, ARTIC was developed to serve as a station for California’s highspeed rail, a still-uncertain statewide project intended to link Northern and Southern California.

However, changes to the high-speed rail’s overall plan in 2012 took Anaheim off the route, instead requiring travelers who wish to visit Orange County to ride the high-speed rail to Los Angeles and take the slower

Metrolink from there.

Rather than abandon its plans for ARTIC, Anaheim decided to build the transportation station anyway.

It currently hosts Amtrak and Metrolink trains, OCTA buses and the Anaheim Resort Transit. It will additionally offer access to shuttles, taxis, bikes and buses.

As helpful as that is for travelers, this new center replaced a fully functional one less than a quarter mile away that offered similar services without the high

price tag.

The former Anaheim Metrolink Station, located 1,000 feet to the west of ARTIC, closed last Friday.

There was nothing wrong with the station, but the completion of ARTIC made it redundant.

Anaheim officials are convinced that this new station will increase the amount of passengers visiting the city to commute.

ARTIC is expected to bring in 10,000 daily boardings, four times the number of boardings at the old

station.

With so many more visitors, this will only further congest the area where it sits between Angel Stadium and Honda Center. Traffic is already a problem when both venues have events.

One can only imagine how a steady flow of 10,000 commuters everyday will affect it.

Between the lack of revenue and extra traffic, ARTIC, for the time being, seems to be nothing more than a forced and ill conceived use of taxpayer money.

CSUF has been struggling from the floor recently, particularly from deep. They shot just 15 percent from 3-point range on 20 shot attempts in the loss against Pepperdine Saturday at Titan Gym.

Titans washed away by Waves Poor shooting from 3-point range doomed the Titans against Pepperdine

ADRIAN GARCIA For the Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team fell to the Pepperdine Waves 74-62 Saturday in their first game at Titan Gym since Nov. 22.

The Titans shot 38 percent from the floor and an abysmal 15 percent from beyond the arc.

After beginning the game 2-for-3 from deep, the Titans ended with a 1-for-17 stretch.

The Waves were locked in all night from deep, shooting an impressive 50 percent.

Senior Alex Harris had another big night, scoring a game-high 26 points.

Seventeen of his 26 points came in the second half, but his offensive prowess was not enough to lead the Titans to victory.

Harris finished the game with seven rebounds and three steals, proving once again he can be a factor on both sides of the court.

He credits his conditioning throughout the season for contributing to his success on defense.

“We run a lot in practice throughout the season, so I need to get to the point where I can be able to play on both sides of the court,” Harris said.

Steve McClellan was a solid complement to Harris on offense, posting the first double-double of the season for the Titans with 12

points and 10 rebounds.

“Steve established himself tonight as a formidable foe inside in the paint,” Head Coach Dedrique Taylor said.

McClellan became the physical presence down low that the Titans have lacked all season.

His physicality showed when matched up against Pepperdine’s go-to guy Stacy Davis, who was held to 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting.

The Titans’ shooting woes continued, so the team will need McClellan’s strong play to continue moving forward in order to bring a physical presence against bigger opponents.

The Waves ended with two big runs at the end of both halves.

With four minutes to go in the first half, Harris made two crucial free throws to bring the Titans to within two.

“I thought tonight was a game of two very good teams who were trying to impose their will on each other,” Taylor said. “I thought their will outlasted us throughout the course of the game, especially in crucial parts of the game.”

One of those crucial moments came after the two free throws by Harris.

Jeremy Major and Amadi Udenyi made two unanswered 3-pointers to help the Waves end the half on an 8-0 run.

With 16 minutes remaining in the game, the Titans pulled together a 13-3 run.

The defense forced four

MEN’S BASKETBALL

74 VS

62 turnovers during the run, leading to six points.

It was a momentum-shifter that had the fans at Titan Gym roaring with excitement.

It was moments like this that showed the team’s potential moving forward.

The Titans have a smaller lineup than most teams, but with speed and quick hands, the defense can use their size to their advantage.

“Tonight we found ourselves in spurts, but they made a winning play and we couldn’t respond,” Taylor said. “We need to find our rhythm offensively as a whole.”

Fullerton cut the deficit to three points with eight minutes remaining.

Waves guard Shawn Olden made all three of his 3-pointers in crunch time to quiet the Titan fans and put the game away.

The Titans travel to Sacramento State Thursday to face the 4-3 Hornets, who are led by guards Dylan Garrity and Mikh McKinney.

The Hornets are currently on a two-game losing streak with losses to Abilene Christian University and the Titans’ Big West rival UC Irvine.

Trevor Wada was solid in net for CSUF, allowing just one goal. Wada was allowing 5.3 goals per game entering play.

Unfortunately, the Titans were unable to earn the sweep this weekend, losing to the Aztecs 5-2

Saturday at the East West Ice Palace.

“In both games, we were too inconsistent. There’s moments where we looked great and others when we looked downright awful,” Wada said. “We had so many opportunities to finish them off, but we let them hang around, and when that happens,

anything can happen.”

The Titans are 7-6 at home this season. They have allowed 93 goals on the year while scoring just 73.

They play Chapman on the road Friday and return home to play rival Cal State Northridge Saturday, a team the Titans lost to in overtime on Nov. 8.

“We need to be more disciplined on both ends of the ice and stay out of the penalty box,” Wada said.

“We need to play every shift like it’s our last.”

After the game against CSUN, the Titans do not play again until Jan. 9 at Northern Arizona, who beat CSUF twice at home this season.

LEO

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Good news already is heading your way, but you must be receptive or it might pass you by unnoticed. Romantic love is possible, but the rewards may be less emotional now than practical.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

There is magic in the air today and whatever happens has an excellent chance of turning out for the best. Your key planet, Venus, is encouraging you to follow a path of indulgence.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Your emotional awareness often holds the keys to your happiness. However, achieving material success can be a more immediate problem from time to time. Today, the two are linked; do whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

There’s no use to stress about your inconvenient attractions today; you might as well go ahead and express them.

Your key planet Jupiter receives a rejuvenating boost of love from flirty Venus now. Even if you’re having a tough time getting into the holiday spirit, it’s nearly impossible to remain in a negative place.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

A luxurious sense of satisfaction temporarily releases you from a stressful situation. Your coworkers and superiors see you as more graceful and charming today.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

If you bump into instant karma today, reality will likely rule in your favor. However, it’s not wise to push your luck too far. Unfortunately, if you attempt to take unfair advantage of anyone, the unpleasant reaction may be immediate.

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

If unexpected events recently shocked you awake, it’s time to loosen up and relax again.

Enjoy your new found freedom by being appreciative to the positive reinforcement and encouragement that is coming your way.

Titans ravaged by Coyotes The Titans were dominated from start to finish Saturday against South Dakota

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

86

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Titans were unable to maintain their positive momentum Saturday in a 86-50 blowout loss at the hands of the South Dakota Coyotes at the Dakota Dome.

The Coyotes dominated from the opening whistle, beginning the game on a 21-2 run.

Nicole Seekamp capped off the Coyote run with three consecutive baskets.

Amanda Tivenius mercifully ended the onslaught by making a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 16.

The basket stopped the bleeding, but only temporarily.

After back-to-back failed 3-point attempts from senior Tailer Butler, Head Coach Daron Park called a timeout with the score at 30-8.

Senior point guard Chante Miles made a layup following the timeout, but South Dakota responded quickly.

Kelly Stewart made a 3-pointer just nine seconds after the Miles layup.

On the ensuing possession, Samantha Logan missed a 3-pointer, but senior forward Kathleen Iwuoha grabbed the offensive rebound and scored.

The dreadful shooting from 3-point range continued, sending the Titans into halftime trailing the Coyotes 47-20.

Fullerton shot just 3-of17 from behind the arc and just 25.8 percent from the field.

Only four Titans scored in the first half, compared to nine Coyotes.

Miles led CSUF with 11 points and was the only Titan to make more than one shot in the first half.

Iwuoha had a game-high six rebounds in the opening 20 minutes.

Fullerton had eight turnovers in the half, compared to just four for the home team.

Stewart had 12 points off the bench for South Dakota and Seekamp had 11 points on 80 percent shooting from the field in the half.

“Obviously I’m tremendously disappointed in our

effort today. South Dakota is a really good team who plays extremely well at home, we just didn’t match their toughness, plain and simple,” Park said to FullertonTitans.com.

The Titan offense improved dramatically in the second half.

They shot 40 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from 3-point range.

Unfortunately for CSUF, South Dakota did not take its foot off the gas.

They shot 48.3 percent from the field and made 5-of-12 3-point attempts.

A positive takeaway for Fullerton was Hailey King’s offensive performance in the second half.

The junior had 13 points off the bench and was 4-of5 from the field, making all three of her 3-point attempts in the half. King played a season-high 23 minutes.

“Hailey is a tough kid who has provided us with some solid minutes defensively the last few weeks,” Park said to FullertonTitans.com. “It was so good to see her be confident offensively today.”

King played in all 30 games for Fullerton last season and started 26 of those games, but has seen much less playing time this season.

The Titans have some time to regroup and prepare for Fresno State Sunday.

Fresno is the last stop on Fullerton’s longest road trip of the season. The Bulldogs are 4-3 on the season and undefeated at home.

Fresno beat the Titans 68-57 last season at Titan Gym. Miles had a teamhigh 16 points and King had six rebounds.

After the Fresno game, the Titans make their long-awaited return to Titan Gym against North Dakota State on Dec. 19.

The Titans will also host Korean Professional Baseball League member NC Dinos on Feb. 23 at Goodwin Field following Fullerton’s first weekend home series of the 2015 season against the Stanford Cardinal.

NC Dinos were founded in 2011 and played their first season in the Korean Baseball Organization in 2013.

NC Dinos play their home games at Masan Baseball Stadium in the city of Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea.

The Titans are coming off their 40th consecutive winning season and 30win season in the program’s NCAA Division I history.
