CYNTHIA WASHICKO / Daily Titan Participants of the Donate Life walk and run on Saturday at the Intramural Field at Cal State Fullerton hold up signs of loved ones who were organ donors.

One step at a time

Donate Life walk aims to raise awareness for organ donations CYNTHIA WASHICKO Daily Titan

Over 10,000 participants walked, ran, strolled or jogged, held pictures of loved ones or walked with their images printed on shirts, while medals and mementos adorned signs.

The goal of the event was to raise awareness for organ and tissue donation for the 12th annual Donate Life event on Saturday at Cal State Fullerton.

The Donate Life walk and run began in 2003 by

a woman who is no stranger to the struggles and life-altering demands of organ donation. Kathleen Hostert’s husband, Craig Hostert, was diagnosed in 1986 with an autoimmune disorder that affected his kidneys. He would require a kidney transplant, but had to wait until a match could be found, like nearly 100,000 patients today.

Nine years after his diagnosis, Craig’s kidneys failed. When his siblings were ruled out as matching donors, he started dialysis treatment to replace the functions working kidneys would have provided.

After years of relying on tri-weekly, hours-long dialysis treatments to

function in place of the kidneys that had failed him, Hostert and Craig had a circle of friends almost 300 strong forged through over years of shared experience. Kathleen was eventually discovered to be an eligible donor for Craig and gave him one of her kidneys in 1998.

However, they refused to leave those people waiting on dialysis behind.

“After we left the dialysis center that last time we made a vow to each other that this was going to be our personal passion. We would do everything we could to help people who were still waiting on dialysis,” Hostert said.

When Craig’s donated kidney failed again over a year ago, the process of dialysis and the search for a donor started again. This time, it was Craig’s son, Justin, who provided the crucial organ.

Since then, Hostert and Craig organize the run and walk each year as a way to remember the people they grew close to, while also bringing attention to the plight of patients waiting for organ or tissue donations everywhere.

Hostert said organ donation is one of the few causes that forces the recipient to wait for someone else to volunteer to help.

“With organ donation, it’s the one cause where

you have to wait for the compassion of another person,” she said.

The importance of events like the Donate Life walk and run lies in the fact that they raise awareness for a cause whose importance is often overlooked, Hostert said.

If an individual is brain dead, it can be a nearly impossible decision for family members to allow their loved one’s organs and tissues to be used for another person. If that individual has already made their wishes known, it can mean a new chance at life for someone else.

Major Spotlight Radio-TV-Film A love of acting inspires a student to create a web series GINA VAN STRATTEN Daily Titan

Most 6-year-old children are usually thinking about playing outside or with toys. However, at that age, Brenda Saucedo knew she wanted to perform in front of an audience and one day become an actress.

“I started when I was 6, I was in my first theater show,” Saucedo said. “It wasn’t until I was 14 that I started taking acting classes and auditioning.”

Since then she has been showcased in commercials for the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Telemundo.

Saucedo, 21, a radio-TVfilm major at Cal State Fullerton, continues to work toward becoming an actress. She has an agent and is frequently going out to auditions for

commercials and roles in TV shows and films.

She also partnered up with a few of her peers and created a web series.

Saucedo helps to produce and direct the series as well as play one of the characters.

Saucedo said one of her favorite jobs was when she worked on an industrial film as a character who was secretly feeding information to the FBI. Her favorite part about the role was being able to travel for filming.

“They flew me out to Nevada, and paid for my hotel and gave me a rental car,” Saucedo said. “That was the coolest because I got to travel.”

During acting classes, Saucedo met Michelle Smith, a fellow aspiring actress. The two formed a friendship and recognized they could use their talents in order to be successful in the acting industry.

Saucedo and Smith came together and created a production company called

Four Fullerton College football players, each charged with two felonies for an assault on a Cal State Fullerton basketball player, faced different levels of discipline from their coach.

Ahmad Muse, who is accused of initiating the attack and is one of the team’s better players, was suspended for six games.

Sean Duncan-Wills, Terrence Lange and Malcolm Postell, charged in the same attack, were suspended for the entire season.

Head Coach Tim Byrnes issued suspensions to the players, but Muse was back on the field after missing only six games and played the remainder of the season, including the California Community College Championship game.

He is charged with assault with intent to cause great bodily injury, with the enhancement that he did inflict great bodily harm, and touching an intimate part of another person without consent.

Of the four assailants, Muse is also the most skilled athlete. He is the only player among the four co-defendants who is actively being recruited by NCAA universities.

Continuing to play allowed Muse to build a highlight reel that he could send to universities that may want him to play for their team.

“At least he’ll have a chance to go on and get his education done, and he needs to. If I would have cut him off and say ‘you’re gone,’ then his life is over,” Byrnes said. “Hopefully if it becomes a misdemeanor then he’ll be OK; if it becomes a felony, then most schools will dump him.”

If Muse is accepted by a NCAA university, he would be eligible to play football for two more years.

Duncan-Wills, Lange and Postell, who have all been charged with assault with intent to cause great bodily injury, with the enhancement that they did inflict great bodily harm, were suspended for the entire 2013 football season.

“The main reason we let (Muse) play, I follow up on him every day on the situation; what was going on, what’s happening with you,” Byrnes said.

“It looks like from what I’ve viewed and talked to his lawyer … that it was going to be dropped to misdemeanors.”

A panel of students and faculty will examine ways to increase awareness of cultural diversity on campus and move beyond the conflict between black and brown Wednesday in the Titan Student Union.

The discussion will include a Q-and-A session on the novel Black and Brown In Los Angeles, a book that focuses exclusively on the range of relationships between Latinos/Latinas and African-Americans, and it will also include a separate focus on how different minority backgrounds can be impeded by the higher education system.

Moderated by John Belleci, the state president of the Student California Teachers Association, the conversation will include ways to create solutions for the two historically clashing racial groups to come together at Cal State Fullerton.

“You don’t see a lot of intermingling of the diverse groups within the same spaces,” Belleci said. “Black and brown people have traditionally been pitted against each other for the same geographic spaces, for the same access to resources, and stuff like that, and created a false divide among two ethnic groups.”

As a result of the false divide, Belleci, along with the

help of other students, decided to initiate the conversation between all ethnic groups on campus to promote diversity, equality and justice, particularly in the educational system.

“What we’re trying to do is to bring awareness to students of the different racial identities here at CSUF, the different ethnic base identities, and to really bring awareness to a lot of students and voices who feel that they’re unheard. that their identities are unrecognized,” said Raymond Ortiz, the president of the Cultural Public History Association.

Ortiz points to a lack of recognition among the diverse student body by the university as one of the primary issues that will be addressed by the panel.

“The goal of the event is to show students to embrace their identities, as opposed as to just going to class and going into a school where there seems to be just one type of student body identity, and not one that necessarily embraces the diversity and the walks of life that we have,” he said.

Tami Foy, Ph.D., the interim director of research development, said it is important to create spaces on campus where people feel accepted for who they are.

Foy will serve as a panelist during the discussion.

“We need to really talk about these issues (race relations) and really get them out on the table for how they really play out because a lot of times people are misinformed and they take that

Foy explained a threestep process that she said can help students understand the conversations they are having in regards to such a controversial topic.

“I think it’s one, to educate people, two, to get all the facts out there that are really all the actual facts, and then three, to move forward as a community on how we can all work together,” she said. “It’s only going to become more diverse as time goes on,” she said.

Foy will be joined in the panel by Alexander Gradilla, Ph.D., Torrell Forree, Marissa Pina, Carie Rael and Sean Washburn.

The event runs from 1 to 3 p.m. in Bradford AB in the Titan Student Union.

DTBRIEFS Tornadoes kill at least 16 in South Emergency officials searched for survivors in the debris left by a destructive tornado that killed at least 14 residents Monday in Arkansas, according to ABC News.

The tornado that hit Vilonia, a suburb north of Little Rock, grew to a half a mile wide Sunday and left an 80-mile path of destruction behind.

The Vilonia tornado is likely to be rated the nation’s strongest to date this year, with wind speeds over 136 mph.

The National Weather Service has alerted surrounding areas in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Louisiana that tornadoes and large hail would strike later Monday.

President Barack Obama offered condolences and promised federal aid.

Congressman charged with fraud, perjury Rep. Michael Grimm (R-New York) was arrested Monday morning by the FBI on fraud and perjury charges, according to ABC News.

Grimm, a former FBI agent, turned himself to the FBI, whose representatives said he dishonored the FBI code. He was indicted on charges of fraud, perjury and obstruction. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on $400,000 bail.

He worked for the FBI from 1991 to 2006, spending a majority of his time investigating security fraud.

Grimm was previously caught on camera threatening to throw a reporter off the Capitol’s balcony after the State of the Union speech in February.

Photo Illustration by MARIAH CARRILLO / Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton connects students to secured Wi-Fi networks that are encrypted so information stays safe.

CSUF employs layered security Point-to-point protection helps guard information SAMUEL MOUNTJOY Daily Titan

When the Heartbleed bug was exposed a few weeks ago, it brought information security to the forefront of the minds of many students.

The exploit has since been patched, and the Fullerton.edu website is not vulnerable. However, the event raised questions about what the major organizations consumers trust with their personal information are doing to protect it.

Cal State Fullerton uses a layered security system that uses hardware and software to achieve an indepth defense strategy, said Amir Dabirian, the vice president for information technology.

“Think of this process as being similar to peeling an onion where with each successive removal of a layer of the onion you’re presented with another layer and another layer and so on,” Dabirian said. “At some point, anything which might get through the layers becomes manageable.”

The layers start at the user. One technique hackers can use is to “sniff ” packets of information being sent over a wireless connection. The average wireless network used in a home is unsecured, meaning even if a person can’t connect to the network, they can still see what is being transmitted.

CSUF, on the other hand, uses a secured wireless network to connect students to the campus Wi-Fi, the “Students-Secure” network.

“Students-Secure is point-to-point encrypted,” Dabirian said. “From your device to the access point, (your information) is secure. Nobody can look at it.”

From there, firewalls, packet shapers and intrusion detection servers

protect data all the way to the Internet.

But, Dabirian said, even the most secure network cannot prevent users from falling for attacks that rely on social engineering and trickery, called “phishing attacks.”

Phishing attacks attempt to persuade users to click links in emails or reply with personal information and will use threats to get them to comply. For instance, a link in an email that looks like a link to Facebook could take a user to a copycat website hosted by an attacker.

Victims of this attack enter their login information, thinking they are logging into the real website as they normally do.

Once their information is entered, it is in the hands of somebody they do not know, and it can be used for nearly anything.

“We want to make sure that people are trained in security and understand a phishing attack,” Dabirian said. “Don’t ‘click here’ until you know what ‘here’ means.”

The philosophy used on campus is to monitor the connections and make sure they are secure, and not to limit connectivity and what users can do online.

“We need to do a lot of things in security to protect you, but we don’t want to limit your learning,” he said.

The campus Internet security systems, Dabirian said, are in a constant state of upgrade and maintenance.

Through consultation with other California State University campuses and the CSU chancellor’s office, technology and techniques to secure Internet activity are shared.

An effective technique developed at one campus is frequently adopted by other campuses throughout the nation.

As the Wi-Fi network expands due to new funding from the student success fee, Dabirian expects the security of the network to keep pace.

Muse and his co-defendants have made four court appearances since his arraignment, and his charges have not been dropped or reduced.

Byrnes said his reasoning behind letting Muse play the remainder of the season was due to Muse’s actions after the event.

“He was following up with me. He showed a general concern, he was concerned about the kid,” Byrnes said. “I thought his events in the situation were not correct, but also that could have been a very mutual type of situation with him and the other kid.

It wasn’t a cheap shot.”

If any of the defendants are convicted of their charges, it is unclear if they will be in violation of any Fullerton College bylaws or the North Orange County Community College District Standards of Student Conduct and Discipline.

Melissa Utsuki, the interim director of campus communications at Fullerton College, said every incident is handled on a case-by-case basis dependent upon the nature of the alleged crime.

Terrence Lange Sean Duncan-Wills Position: OLB Age: 20 Height: 6’1” Height: 5’8” Weight: 250 lbs Weight: 163 lbs Suspended: Suspended: Aug. 28 - present Aug. 28 - present

Ahmad Muse Position: DE Age: 23 Height: 6’4” Weight: 260 lbs Suspended: Aug. 28 - Oct. 26

Being charged with a felony is different than being convicted of a felony, and as such, a student is innocent until proven guilty, she said.

Neither Byrnes nor Phil Thurman, the Fullerton College sports information director, would provide a copy of Fullerton College’s student-athlete handbook. The link for the version on the Internet is nonfunctional as of Monday.

Video surveillance from the University House apartment’s parking structure showed Boyd and several others standing near an elevator in University House.

Muse, Duncan-Wills, Lange and Postell confronted them, according to a Fullerton Police Department report.

The four defendants, whose identities Byrnes

confirmed to police, began to argue with Boyd and his friends. When Boyd looked away, Muse punched Boyd in the face. Appearing stunned, Boyd turned to Muse and put both his arms in the air with his hands open, which is interpreted in the report as a signal that he did not want to fight.

Lange then came from the side and sucker punched Boyd, slamming his head against the wall. Boyd collapsed to the ground, appearing to be unconscious, according to the police report.

“What I saw through the film, and what happened in the situation, me personally, I made a judgment that it was more mutual with (Boyd and Muse),” Byrnes said.

“But the other guys, that was a stinkin’ joke.”

Malcolm Postell Age: 20 Height: 6’1” Weight: 206 lbs Suspended: Aug. 28 - present

“(Lange, Duncan-Wills and Postell) were cheap shotting a kid that should have never been involved.”

The confrontation continued as Muse walked up to Boyd lying on the ground and kicked him in the legs.

Duncan-Wills then approached Boyd and struck Boyd across the top of his spine.

Boyd attempted to get up, but was punched in the head

by Postell. This slammed his neck and head into the frame of the elevator door, knocking him unconscious for a second time.

Boyd was then kicked in the legs a final time by Lange.

As the assailants began to leave, Lange and Muse could be seen laughing and slapping hands as they exit the parking structure, according to the police report.

The sign is intended to tell students what is taking place on campus, and it is scheduled to be operational during the fall 2014 semester.

Electronic sign to be added to campus New LED billboard will help inform students far from TSU SASHA BELANI Daily Titan

The Associated Students Inc. Board of Directors approved an LED electronic communications board (ECB) Thursday to be installed in Titan Square by the fall 2014 semester.

The board will be 4-feet-8inches tall and 14-feet-1-inch wide; that is about the length of two SUVs parked back to back. It will be placed on the wall of the Student Financial Services building, above the blue awning—an area chosen for its extensive foot traffic.

“We’re trying to reach out to students over there,” said Rohullah Latif, the ASI president. “If you think about

it, most of the tours start in that little area; most of the prospective students and parents go to Admissions and Records and Financial Services so it make sense to have something for them to see.”

The project is estimated to cost $105,817, plus an additional contingency fund of $9,800. This will include the costs of sign hardware, software, installation, safety approvals, reviews required by the CSU and electrical and data lines, Latif said.

“It’s a good amount of money, but when we spoke about it, this was something that was going to be worth it in the end,” he said.

Managed by ASI, the board is meant to serve as a communications tool to allow information about ASI events to reach students on the side of campus opposite to the Titan Student Union.

“With this up there,

140

(students) will be able to see what’s going on. They will be able to know there are events and then they can make the short trip and walk over there,” Latif said.

The idea for the board came to Latif last year while he was on his campaigning rounds. He started speaking to a student sitting on the ledge outside Langsdorf Hall. The student had a few hours before his next class and was just hanging around. Just a 10-minute walk away, on the other side of campus on Titan Walk, a car company was hosting an exhibit and giving out free pizza.

“He was planning on sitting there ... eating his lunch,” Latif said. “At that same time, I remember on Titan Walk there was just a ton of events ... He had no idea that ASI had an event over there and that all this stuff was going on.”

The disconnect between the two ends of the campus prompted Latif to campaign with the goal of adding an electronic communication boards on the other side of campus.

The board will have a full color display and be able to have animation, video and graphics displayed on it.

ASI also has plans to coordinate with University Police. During emergencies, the board will provide important information to students.

“We do also want this to work as an emergency tool if we need to get to our students ASAP,” Latif said.

The ECB is the final checkmark in the Latif and Leggett campaign platform.

“It’s an investment, it’s going to come back and give back to the students greatly because the information we will be able to provide will just be amazing,” Latif said.

Two sides of the same coin

MIKE TRUJILLO / Daily Titan A campaign trying to shine light on prostitution has Justin Timberlake representing its cause. One of the advertisements featured Timberlake holding a sign saying “Real men don’t buy women.”

A guy’s take on gender equality

A girl’s take on gender equality

who feel that they are counterproductive and do not achieve what they are intending to.

Campaigns like Real Men Don’t Buy Girls simply puts men on an even higher pedestal than they already are, and reveres them as the protectors of women, according to an article feature on SheRights.com titled “The Language of Dude Feminism.”

This would be true if the campaign was perhaps called “Real Men Don’t Buy Girls, and it is up to men everywhere to end violence and injustices towards women,” but it’s not. Campaigns such as these are simply fighting male violence with the voice from a male perspective.

The writer of this article insinuates that only two ways exist of treating women, and if one way is denounced, the other is invoked.

“By flattering men’s strength and asking them to use it to protect women, we once again place men in the driver’s seat of culture, asking for them to renounce violence and be less vile guardians,” the article reads.

This insinuation is a gross misrepresentation of men and the male effort for gender equality.

The treatment of women is not a binary custom with violence and

for hurting,” although proven effective in igniting conversation on women’s rights, glorify the strength men have over women.

Although the organizations in charge of these campaigns may not have constructed their slogans with this intention, the male dominance factor is still very prominent in this progressive language.

This is not to say that men acting as protectors is fundamentally bad. In fact, it’s great. It’s nice to know that, as women, there is someone who is willing and able to fight battles they cannot fight themselves, if necessary. Chivalry is a beautiful thing and, hopefully, not actually as dead as the cliché would have one believe.

The reality is, unfortunately, that women are typically not as physically fit to protect themselves against potential predators and assailants as men. Sometimes, it’s necessary for a woman to have a man to fight her battles, simply because she does not have the physical capability to do so herself.

However, when it comes to matters of social change, women should be able to fight their own battles without the need for a man to assert his strength, thereby flattering his ego.

By putting men on such a pedestal with these aforementioned dude feminism movements, men are only given greater social power over the women they are

ZACK JOHNSTON Daily Titan

A man’s role in the fight for gender equality is not binary The fight against sexism toward women is a battle fought on two fronts. There is the female front where women must be empowered to act as the equals they are, and the male front where the notion that men are somehow dominant over women in society must be extinguished.

That being said, the fight for gender equality is not just a woman’s fight.

It’s everyone’s fight.

Female and male allies alike must see each other as equals before real social change can happen.

Advances have been made by the male effort for this cause to increase awareness and deteriorate violence from within the male community.

Campaigns such as “Real Men Don’t Buy Girls” have launched in effort to increase awareness for human sex trafficking as well as male-induced violence toward women.

Campaigns such as these have come under fire by certain feminists

protection being the only two options.

Men are not either only violent or only protective of women, but should respect women enough to not be violent and to know that women do not require a male’s protection.

Arguments such as these fuel the fire of reading into things that are not there, which should never be done when dealing with such an important issue.

In addition, these arguments only make the road to gender equality more bumpy.

How are people expected to fight for gender equality when the two forces fighting for it are also fighting each other?

But then again, it’s difficult to imagine this from the female perspective as a cisgender male with all the social privileges that come with it. It may be impossible to truly know the effects of sexism and gender inequality as a man.

But like any social privilege sparked from inequality and discrimination, the first step toward getting rid of it is to be aware of it.

The fight for gender equality and extinguishing male privilege does not rest solely on women.

It rests on every person who wants to see a just world with unconditional equality, no matter where they come from.

MIA MCCORMICK Daily Titan

Men need to be on equal footing in the fight for gender equality Men are wonderful. They are a strong, handsome and beautiful species. They are the hunter-gatherers and the protectors of today’s society.

But the question is: Why? Why is it that this far into the battle for gender equality, women still need men to protect them and fight their battles in order to achieve progress?

It is because men are still seen as the dominant sex and women remain under the classification of the weaker sex, despite any progress that has been made.

This stands true even in the context of men acting under the protection of women’s honor.

A recent surge of what is being called “dude feminism” has stirred up its own breed of controversy.

An article published on SheWrites.com last week argued against the language of dominance that is often used in these attempts at protection for females.

Dude feminism campaigns supported by slogans like “Real men don’t buy girls” and “My strength isn’t

working to protect and, some might say, elevate the dominating nature they are intending to squelch.

It is almost as if to say that it is necessary for men to take action because women are their responsibility, and thus belong to them.

“Common to all these messages is that men CAN rape, hurt, buy women, catcall or what-have-you, but they SHOULDN’T. Men, we are told, shouldn’t hurt women, not because of any intrinsic rights women may have, but because other men might do it to THEIR women, and that would be awful,” the article reads.

These campaigns essentially broadcast the message that women are still too weak to take a stand against the injustices that are committed against them by men. They also imply that the only power strong enough to impact change in these gender-specific issues is the very power that is being channelled to cause the issues: male strength and dominance.

Sure, men can be feminists. They can absolutely fight against rape, prostitution and other forms of harm commonly inflicted upon women. But they should be placed on the same grounds as the women they are working to protect. The message should come across as an equal partnership and a collaborative effort between both genders to influence gender equality.

People are spending too much time using their phones for trivial things

3% Other

People have become addicted to their cellphones. They can check their email, and accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. They can download apps to find recipes, check the stock market, decide which haircut to get and much more.

In other words, they can do pretty much everything on their phone.

Flurry Analytics released a graph showing that people who are addicted to their smartphones open apps on their phone 60 times or more a day.

Most people check their phones compulsively. They have it in their hand before they even know what they are going to use it for. It has become a habit to touch the screen or keep scrolling through Twitter. People walk around with a phone in their hand making sure not to miss one text or notification.

This is a very modern compulsion. Seventy percent of participants said they check their phone within an hour of getting up, according to a study done

In this technological age, people feel that they need to know what is going on the second it happens.

They need to be the first to comment on someone’s vacation picture. They need to post a picture of their breakfast.

This immediate need for information increases the addiction that people have to their smartphones.

This trend poses a real danger.

People walk around with their heads buried in their smartphones. The art of conversation is being lost in the mix. Most people would rather email or text before they ever pick up the

phone or meet face to face with someone.

Additionally, 51 percent of the participants in the study said they check their smartphone continuously throughout vacations. People have given up on the simple pleasures of life, such as basking in the sun without distractions.

People everywhere are constantly taking their smartphones

out to snap a picture of what they are currently doing. Sixty million pictures are posted daily, according to Instagram.

The biggest problem with the addiction is most people are giving up on aspects of the physical world and spending most of their time with their smartphones. At concerts, the audience records the performance or tweets about it rather than actually enjoying

the concert itself.

It has become an essential part of a person’s day.

Forty-four percent of the study participants said they would experience “a great deal of anxiety” if they lost their phone and couldn’t replace it for a week.

Anxiety is an actual disorder, and if losing a phone can cause such symptoms, then there is a real problem.

The cure for this addiction is simple—put the phone down.

Once a week, people should attempt to leave their cellphone at home when going out. Exit the information speedway and enter the dirt roads of the physical world.

It will be hard, but most might actually like what they see once they sit back and just live in the moment.

Sterling should clip ties with his basketball team JOHNNY NAVARETTE Daily Titan

Clippers owner is in hot water because of his racist remarks Over the weekend, audio recordings were released that allegedly recorded Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racially motivated remarks toward minorities.

This is causing quite the controversy, not just in basketball, but throughout the sports world and society in general.

In the recordings, the alleged comments include Sterling criticizing his girlfriend, Vanessa Stiviano, for posting pictures on her Instagram. He criticized her for posing with “black people” while also questioning why she associates herself with them.

He also said that she can do what she wants in private but to not post photos of them or bring them to Clippers’ games.

If the recent recordings turn out to be true, there will undoubtedly be repercussions, but it is important to remember how severe those punishments can actually be.

The best option for all parties involved is for Sterling to sell the team.

Although this is Sterling’s

decision, if it is not in Sterling’s plans, the league could potentially terminate his ownership of the Clippers.

The NBA’s constitution includes “a provision for termination when an owner ‘fails to fulfill a contractual obligation in such a way as to affect the (NBA) or its members adversely,’” said Lester Munson, a ESPN legal analyst.

Although it is the easy solution, Sterling selling the team does nothing to change his thoughts and beliefs toward the world.

This is not Sterling’s first go around with allegations and incidents of discrimination against minorities.

In 2005, he was ordered to pay $5 million in a case

of discrimination against families in an apartment complex he owned. In 2009, he paid $2.73 million to settle allegations by the government in which he refused to rent out apartments to Latinos, blacks and families with children in the Koreatown area in Los Angeles.

While Sterling was never punished by the league for those particular incidents, the latest controversy has people questioning why those situations were ignored. And to put it simply, those cases of discrimination were never directly involved with the business of basketball.

Ironically enough, Sterling was set to receive the lifetime achievement award from the Los

Angeles Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on May 15.

The award would have been his second from the NAACP as he received the honor in 2009. Since the incident came to light, the NAACP made the decision to withdraw Sterling’s nomination.

When Sterling received the award in 2009, it came during a time when former Clipper executive and Los Angeles Laker legend Elgin Baylor filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against Sterling and the team claiming that he was underpaid and fired in 2008 because he was African-American.

In the lawsuit, Baylor accused Sterling of racism

and embracing a “vision of a Southern plantation-type structure.” Despite the allegations, the NAACP still went forward and honored Sterling, saying, “We can’t speak to the allegations, but what we do know is that for the most part (Sterling) has been very, very kind to the minority youth community … ” Sterling has a net worth of $1.9 billion and in January, the Clippers were estimated to be worth $575 million, according to Forbes.

If Sterling were to sell the team he would be rewarded with a hefty payday for his transgressions.

That would barely be considered a punishment for the 80-year-old owner.

A balance act between classes and filmmaking ACTRESS Continued from PAGE 1

CYNTHIA WASHICKO / Daily Titan A participant of the Donate Life walk on Saturday at Cal State Fullerton kisses a picture of a loved one. The annual event aims to support people who are in need of organ donations.

Walking to promote organ donations DONATE Continued from PAGE 1

Many of the participants at the event were there to remember a loved one who died, but who also saved lives by being a donor. This was the case for Jeannette Armas. She was there to honor her sister-in-law’s son who died in a motorcycle accident, but helped over 80

patients waiting for organ and tissue donations.

In addition to remembering those who died and helped others by donating, Armas said education about what living donors can do is crucial.

Other participants were there not for one specific person, but rather to support the education and awareness endeavors Donate Life undertakes.

Felicia Canales, who

participated as a member of a team from Vons where she is an employee, said events like this can spread awareness of how important organ donation is.

In the end, the Donate Life walk and run was not about the times when runners crossed the finish line, but rather the support of people hoping to bring an end to their race to find a donor.

Saucedo is putting in the effort now, inside and outside of the classroom, so she can hone her skills.

Instead of waiting for the chance to come to her, Saucedo is creating opportunities for herself so that she can succeed in the entertainment industry.

Courtesy of mymbros The “Archers of CSUF” have had success in recent collegiate tournaments, competing successfully against schools with larger programs. They have open practice sessions for any interested students.

The Archers of CSUF hits its mark

The CSUF archery club has improved in the past few years JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan

No, those people you see shooting arrows in the Kinesiology Building are not training for the next Robin Hood movie.

Nor are they practicing to become professional biggame hunters out in the wilderness.

Those people are the “Archers of CSUF,” a group of individuals who meet each week to improve both their bow and arrow and mental skills for various collegiate competitions all throughout Southern California.

While the Fullerton club has 26 active members this semester, only a handful of them can consistently make it to competitions, making

it much more difficult and unlikely for them to have impressive showings.

Competition from schools such as Stanford and UC Irvine can field around 30 members at each event, yet Cal State Fullerton can usually only produces a third of that due to the time and money it takes to travel.

Regardless, the Archers of CSUF club has made huge strides recently with impressive showings in recent competitions against those schools with much larger teams.

While it may not be the most well-known club on campus, the CSUF archery club is certainly making a name for itself under the leadership of former professional archers, in addition to having a core of extremely talented students.

Archers of CSUF Head Coach Karl Keranen competed at a professional level for many years, which gives

activity, it’s much closer to a sport than most people might think.

One common misconception many people have about archery is that it is not a physically demanding sport, but that notion could not be further from the truth.

“The main concept of archery is your mental ability.

Even if you have the physical ability, you must have the patience and focus to be successful,” Ta said.

An interesting rule that Keranen has come up with is to ensure each member has a high enough GPA to participate, more than the traditional athletic standard of a 2.5.

His reason for this is to ensure that each student realizes that academics are the priority, something that can easily be forgotten.

“At the end of the day these kids are here for school,” Keranen said. “I

want to make sure these students are all prepared to take on the world once they graduate, so it’s worth it to me to do whatever I can to make that happen.”

The club practices Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in both the Kinesiology Building as well as on the Titan Track and Field.

“It helps to be able to be outdoors to battle the elements every once in awhile,” Ta said. “That’s a better simulation of what the actual competitions will be like.”

All newcomers are welcome to come give it a shot, and no materials need to be bought for the members’ first three practices.

The Archers of CSUF typically recruit from DiscoverFest, which is held at the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters.

Walk-ins are welcome to attend any practices.
