Sanders wins California but loses lead JORDAN MENDOZA JESSICA BENDA Editors

Fourteen states held the primary elections on Tuesday night and Senator Bernie Sanders emerged from Super Tuesday as the projected winner of the California Democratic primary, while former Vice President Joe Biden leads the race to the 1,991 pledged delegates needed to win the presidential

nomination.

As of 12:02 a.m. PST, Sanders has won 31.1% of the California votes, with 58% of votes counted, according to the New York Times. Behind Sanders is Biden with 21.4% of votes.

Of the 415 pledged delegates up for grabs in California, the most out of any state, Sanders has won 48 and Biden has won 27, according to the New York Times.

At the same time in Orange County, Sanders led Biden by close to 23,000 votes with 27.5% of votes in, according to the Orange County Registrar of Voters.

Sanders, who lost the

California primary and the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton in 2016, led the Democratic vote after winning the primary elections in New Hampshire and Nevada in February. But, Biden’s popularity has risen since he won the South Carolina primary on Saturday.

Biden won nine states on Tuesday, including Texas, which had 228 delegates up for grabs and led two others, while Sanders won four states.

Biden currently has won 316 delegates, while Sanders has won 250.

President Donald Trump claimed another victory by

winning California’s Republican primary, and beat out challenger Joe Walsh.

Also on the ballot for California voters was Proposition 13 — the sole measure on the statewide March ballots. It would allow California to authorize $15 billion in bonds to be divided among schools, community colleges, the Universities of California and the California State Universities.

As of 12:02 a.m. PST, 64.02% of voters have voted against Proposition 13, according to the Orange County Registrar of Voters.

For the 39th Congressional District, Young Kim led

with 54.74% of votes while incumbent Gil Cisneros gained 40.22% of votes. The pair will face off for the district once more in the general election in November. In 2016, Cisneros beat out Kim by three points.

“

I’m confident when voters compare our records side by side, they’ll choose to send me back to Congress.

“

Despite not winning the state, Joe Biden closes in on Democratic nomination.

Palestinian activists speak out against ignorance Students for Justice in Palestine hosted an event on Tuesday about identity.

TALIA CANTLEY Asst. Editor

The activist organization, Students for Justice in Palestine, hosted an event called “Narratives for Palestinian Identity” on Tuesday in McCarthy Hall to discuss different identities and narratives of Palestinians around the globe.

The discussion, led by the

club’s vice president Seleena Mukbel, centered around the experiences of Palestinian Americans and the oppression they experience on a daily basis.

Angela Jwijat, who moved to the United States from Palestine when she was 14 years old, shared her story detailing the racist remarks and treatment she received as a student.

“So, when I moved here, I was in high school. It was the second semester of freshman year, and I was called a terrorist, part of the Taliban, Osama Bin Laden was my uncle,” Jwijat said.

“I’ve been dropped from an A to a C- because I wrote a cultural paper about my heritage — about my Palestinian heritage because ‘We’re in America, and we don’t write about that.’”

Hanin Sharim, the club’s event coordinator, also said she doesn’t feel seen for who she is because of her identity.

“We’re dehumanized. We’re not seen as human in the media and because of Israel’s power in the United States, there’s not much Palestinian narratives in the news,” Sharim said. “It’s always ‘The Palestinians are attacking,’ but when they’re

attacking, you don’t understand it’s because of self-defense.”

Mukbel brought up two groups not often spoken of: Afro-Palestinians and Latin American Palestinians. Mukbel said these groups both consider themselves to be 100% Palestinian, and each group faces their own struggles.

Afro-Palestinians extended from western pilgrims from a variety of African countries, and they are a lesser known community that faces discrimination because of the color of their skin. They now consider themselves proud Palestinians,

despite past poverty and location discrimination from Palestinians and Israelis.

Those from Latin America consist of the largest number of Palestinians outside of the Arab region. Latin America is not as segregated as America, so there’s more solidarity in Latin America for Palestinians, Mukbel said.

Mukbel also said that Palestinians in Latin America struggle to not assimilate into the culture because they want to keep their identity alive.

Women’s basketball heads to the Beach The Titans will go for their third victory in a row at Long Beach State tonight.

TREVOR VERNOLA Staff Writer

After the Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team clinched its first winning season in 30 years after beating Hawaii on Saturday night, the Titans now have their sights set on Long Beach State. CSUF will travel to Long Beach tonight for their penultimate game of the regular season.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

As the Titans enter their final week of the season, their games against Long Beach and the UC Irvine Anteaters will be crucial to where they end up in the final standings entering the Big West Tournament.

CSUF is currently tied for second place with Hawaii in the Big West conference with an 8-6 record behind firstplace UC Davis. Two other teams are contending for the second-place spot in the standings.

UC Santa Barbara is in fourth place at 8-7, while UCI is in fifth place with a 7-7 record.

The Titans and the Beach last faced off in early January, where the Titans picked up a 69-65 win at home and narrowly edged out the Beach.

Sophomore forward Amiee Book was the star of that game as she went 7-for-11 from the

field, 4-for-6 from the 3-point line and 3-for-4 from the freethrow line. She finished the game with 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists.

“I’m not thinking about the last game against them. I’m just going in with the same mentality I go with every game. Trying to do what I do and I think the score will take care of itself,” Book said about her plans to approach the next game with her knowledge of the previous success against them.

Book is also coming off an efficient shooting game against Hawaii. She went 7-for-9 from the field against the Rainbow Wahine, and logged 22 points.

With Book’s previous success against Long Beach and the fact that she is coming off one of her best games of the season against Hawaii, the Beach could devote more attention to locking her down.

This opens up more space on the floor for Raina Perez, who was held to just seven points

The Titans come into the contest after a successful month where they went 5-3.

Led by CSUF Student-Athlete of the Month Taylor Turney, the Titans hope to replicate their success.

The guard averaged 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game in February. The Titans will come back home for their final game of the regular season against the Anteaters on Saturday at 5 p.m.

Teaching the power of a person’s voice Willie Washington is the founder of a speech and debate based nonprofit.

JESSICA BENDA Editor

Being a student in any of Willie Washington’s classes is spontaneous. There will most likely be an engaging activity — maybe a group game — or a day when students sweat through speeches. But more often than not, there will be laughter, and students will almost always leave knowing something they didn’t know before.

Washington, a Cal State Fullerton Honors instructor and founder of a nonprofit that is based on public speaking, has a reputation of building up students. From young kids to college students, he has had plenty of practice helping the masses who are scared of public speaking.

“I would never tell them ‘Don’t fear,’ because that’s the wrong advice,” he said. “Fear can be a motivator, fear can be a driver to do something better. So I never say don’t fear public speaking, but I would say understand where that fear comes from and use practice to manage that fear.”

Around eight years ago, Washington began his final project as a graduate student at CSUF. But what started as a graduation requirement eventually blossomed into the Argumentation and Communication Leadership Academy — a nonprofit that teaches students speech and debate skills.

Though the requirement was to design a project, Washington went the extra mile to implement it at a local elementary school. After he saw the positive impacts of the program, he kept it running even after he graduated. Known as ACLA, the program now works with 2025 elementary and middle schools throughout Orange County.

In addition to teaching speech and debate, there are also tournaments for kids to put their skills into action. Events within a tournament

range from acting to speaking to debate, and the entire competition day can last up to 12 hours.

“That’s why the parents are so impressed with their students to have that drive to continue to do it. It’s not even about winning trophies or winning medals or winning at that point. It’s just these kids have the fortitude, they have the resilience to keep going,” Washington said.

Washington said his favorite memory with his nonprofit is one that is recurring — when parents see the impact that ACLA has had on their children.

“It is when the parents come up to me almost in tears, saying, ‘I didn’t know my kid could do that.’ When they see their kid, their third, fourth and fifth graders giving speeches and saying, ‘Look, I didn’t know my kid could do that,’” Washington said. “And so that I think is a memory that comes up tournament after tournament that i can say is my favorite.”

Washington said he was drawn to the field of communication not only because he was able to interact with other people, but because of his drive to work for something.

He said his time as a high school athlete fostered his competitive mindset, which he carried over into sharpening the different skills used in public speaking.

But just because Washington has become an adept public speaker doesn’t mean he is armored against the anxiety that is famously associated with talking in front of crowds.

“I never liked public speaking.

Still dread it. But, once you see it as an art or see it as a science, see it as something you can get better at, that I think intrigued me,” he said. “Most people have the idea that public speaking is something you’re just naturally good at and you have this talent, this ability, but it’s not. It’s (a skill set) that you can work at.”

Washington has spent years fostering the same drive in students, whether it is through coaching kids at his nonprofit or teaching college

students in Langsdorf Hall.

And though he has guided hundreds of learners, a career in the classroom was not his initial plan.

After he earned a degree from San Francisco State, he snagged a job in human resources. But Washington said he soon became unhappy with the career and yearned for something more.

“I just didn’t feel like I was doing anything or actually contributing,” Washington recalled. “I felt this emptiness.”

It was around that time when his brother, a CSUF student, was shot and killed by a gang member while picking up an intoxicated friend from a party.

Washington said that after his brother’s passing, he was approached by several people who told him about the impact that his brother made on their lives and the greatness of his character. It stirred a longing in Washington to continue the same impact that his brother made on other people.

“I started thinking of ways of how could I do that too? How could I impact others in such a positive way? I think that maybe is one of the things that led me back to school to say, ‘OK, OK, let’s try

teaching,’ because I knew that at that point I wanted to leave a positive impact on people,” Washington said.

He arrived as a graduate student at CSUF, where he founded ACLA as part of his final graduation project.

Now, one of the schools Washington teaches at is CSUF, primarily out of the University Honors program. Honors classes typically have no more than 16 students in a class, which allows a different teaching environment than the bigger classes.

“It’s almost like that hands-on experience where you can really meet the students’ needs because you get to know them. And I will start to tailor lectures and lessons to the students, and you can adapt things more because of the lower quantity of students,” Washington said.

As his work continues, he said he aims to build connections between older and younger students, such as those in his college classes versus those in his nonprofit. Finding a way to foster that mentorship between students is something that he hopes is in his future.

Washington’s impact as a teacher

goes beyond improving the skills of public speaking. He also prioritizes being there as a person for his students. He emphasized the importance of showing respect to others not only in the classroom, but in life.

“There’s all these students that are going through so many different things and you don’t know what they’re going through,” Washington said. “Everybody’s going through something, so just try to always be that positive thing for the students that are here.”

Though Washington has years of experience in both public speaking and teaching, he said improvement is a continuous process.

He used to participate in jiu jitsu, where they told him “A black belt is a white belt that never stopped learning.” It’s a philosophy he catered to fit the classroom, which is why he ends his semesters figuring out how to make his lectures better for students.

“An instructor or professor is just a student who never stopped learning,” Washington said. “Education, no matter where you’re at or how much knowledge you think you have, you can always be better.”

ASI candidates amplify student voices Marcus Reveles and Skylar Soria are running for ASI leadership positions.

HOSAM ELATTAR KARINA GUTIERREZ Asst. Editors

Marcus Reveles and Skylar Soria campaigned at the event “Meet the Candidates” on Feb. 11.

they have someone that doesn’t look like them teaching the class about their culture,” Soria said in regards to the lack of diversity in faculty and staff that teach ethnic studies. “I’d be frustrated too. I would much rather have someone that kind of looks like me teach.”

Diversity in faculty and President Fram Virjee’s support of the bill are things the Black Student Union called for at their town hall meeting last semester as multiple students and faculty came out in support of the bill. SWANA students have been advocating for their own resource center for over two semesters.

“We’re not going to pretend like we know the struggles and we know exactly what’s going on in these two communities, because we don’t and we will never because we’re not a part of them.

But, we do believe that we will have roles in this which is to make their voices heard,” Reveles said.

Soria said that the duo is looking into the possibility of having the Counseling and Psychological Services in the Student Wellness

prevent students from feeling the same way.

“We want to push for students to get involved in cultural events. It’s so important,” Reveles said. “We want students to feel like they’re invited to celebrate these events and celebrate these cultures and learn something about it.”

The pair is also campaigning for increasing visibility of campus resources and improving marketing for scholarships as well as enhancing what they describe as the Titan experience by bridging the gap between commuters and local residents.

“If students are able to know about all these different resources that they have on campus, then they’re able to excel to the next step within their experience,” Soria said. “They’re able to grow and become an amazing student. So when they graduate, they’re proud of where they came from.”

Part of their visibility campaign is to bring more awareness to the on-campus organizations.

Soria said that the candidates plan to partner up with different

The testing of a new academic assessment designed to maintain the grades of student leaders in Associated Students is underway.

ASI director of Leader and Program Development Asha Nettles said the program will include grade checks and reviews with advisors.

“It’s meant to identify the relevant support for you. It’s about accountability, it’s not meant to embarass you, it is meant for you to be able to say ‘Dang, I’m missing something, what do I need?’”

Nettles said at Tuesday’s board of directors meeting. “It’s about getting you the help that you need and having that honest conversation about that.”

The academic assessment was drafted last month and is being tested on the current student government. After gauging its success, the assessment will be finalized at the end of the semester and implemented with all ASI student leaders this fall.

Nettles noted the high profile nature and time commitment of student leader positions, which can be part of the challenge of balancing academic life with student government.

She said that students often have difficulty asking for help, which is one of the reasons the VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

program is being put into place.

“I’ve used this illustration before, we see the smoke behind you and we’re like ‘Are you okay?

What’s going on?’A day later the building is on fire,” Nettles said.

“Then it’s like a smoldering pile of your grades and we’re like you never said ‘Hey, I need help.’”

The current cumulative grade point average required for student leaders is a 2.5. Nettles said the assessment is part of the ASI strategic plan, part of which is implementing and supporting models to foster academic success among student leaders.

Maria Linares, board of directors vice chair, brought up the possibility of ASI study groups.

She suggested booking a room in the Titan Student Union or Pollak Library two days a week.

“I’ve tried to go to the board office in the past, but you just want to chat. It’s hard because you see all the ASI work that needs to be done,” Linares said. “I know for some student leaders, it’s not so much not getting to class, but missing class because they didn’t do the assignment and so they’re nervous to go.”

ASI executive director Keya Allen said this semester’s assessment aims to figure out ways to help and guide student leaders, as well as provide data to help improve training.

“It is our responsibility to make sure you are all academically sound. And not only that you’re academically sound, that you actually can have the tools to continue your academic success beyond ASI,” Allen said.

Center on campus refer students to a preferred therapist who can relate to their experiences.

Another possible option is to have more student representatives present at faculty interviews to give feedback and have a voice in the hiring process, a practice that has been done before in the engineering department.

Soria said that if elected they would bring members and leaders of both the Black and SWANA communities on campus to discuss plans of action and bring them into communication with the administration.

“Marcus and I are two students out of 40,000 students. While we’d love to represent the student population on behalf of Cal State Fullerton, we can’t assume everything that you want and need and we’d rather have conversations of what students would like from the university and from us,” Soria said.

The candidates said that their personal experiences with their cultural identities have also caused a sense of disconnect from organizations on campus, and hope to

organizations, like the Black Student Union and SWANA, to create a campus master calendar that outlines the different ongoing events for the month. Soria said that there are also plans to use the jumbotron and campus-wide emails as a form of communication.

“It’s a great opportunity for Sky and I to get our foot in the door and have a conversation of what’s going on on campus,” Reveles said.

If elected, Reveles and Soria said they plan to have a larger outreach effort that targets all students, which they hope results in an increase of student leaders throughout CSUF. “Sky and I both want students to know that we’re here for them.

We hope they come out and vote.”

Reveles said. “We hope they realize that we’re just here to help out others and we’re here to spread that love and positivity and we hope to make this campus awesome.”

Elections will be held online through March 10 and 11 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Students may cast their votes on vote.fullerton.edu.

The presidential primaries may be over, but students still have another chance to vote in the student government elections that will be held next Tuesday and Wednesday. Associated Students board of directors representatives Marcus Reveles and Skylar Soria are in the running to be the next ASI president and vice president.

“We really want students to feel like there’s someone in their corner,” Reveles said. “We want to make sure that students are aware and know that if elected, Sky and I will be in their corner, we’ll be fighting for them, we’ll be there for them or any needs that they want.”

Reveles, an ASI representative for the College of Education, and Soria, a representative for the College of Communications, are running on a platform that advocates on behalf of students on campus and at the California State University level to enhance the academic experience.

“It’s about standing our ground and reminding people why we’re all here in the first place,” Soria said about advocating for what students want, even if the administration opposes them. “It’s bringing the numbers, it’s bringing the passion, it’s being like, ‘Hey, we’re students and if you guys are here to truly help us, why not listen to me?’”

The candidates say they hope to address the establishment of a Southwest Asian and North African, also known as SWANA, resource center, advocating for more faculty and staff of color as well as AB 1460 — a bill that would implement ethnic studies as a graduation requirement across the CSUs. “I’m sorry for the people that have to go through that, where

A student’s guide to healthy skin Finding the perfect beauty routine doesn’t have to break the bank.

NICOLE TRINIDAD Asst. Editor

Advertisements for cosmetics and skin care from online influencers and celebrities are everywhere.

Luxury products used by makeup artists, beauty gurus and skin care professionals help them look their best, but not everyone can afford to practice healthy skin care with such extravagant routines.

Students don’t always have money to spend on nonessentials, but taking proper care of one’s skin doesn’t have to break their budget. Here are some tips, tricks and discounts to help college students brighten their complexions without draining their bank accounts.

People experience different skin issues, so it’s important for students to know their skin type as this makes it easier to treat each issue properly.

Skin types can be broken down into five different categories: oily, dry, combination, sensitive and normal, and they vary depending on the skin’s hydration. One way to identify a person’s skin type is the bare-faced method. Students should wash their faces thoroughly with a gentle face wash or cleanser. Then after drying off, wait 30 minutes.

If the person’s face has a shininess to it, they have oily skin. If the skin is tight, stripped, flaky or stiff, that would be indicative of dry skin. If some parts of the face are shiny and other parts are tight, that is combination skin. Normal skin exhibits none of the effects mentioned above. Sensitive skin becomes red and irritated, while also exhibiting some of the characteristics of the other skin types.

The world of skin care is vast and confusing. With hundreds of products and advertisements, it can be easy to believe that a successful

skin care routine requires an extravagant assortment of products.

However, it’s best to simplify a routine into three products. The essentials of a good routine include: cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen.

Facial cleansers are a necessity in order to take care of skin. It’s important to keep the skin clean by removing any dirt, oil and unwanted toxins. This is where skin type comes into play because using a cleanser is only effective if it targets the right areas. Certain cleansers can help hydrate dry skin while others can thoroughly cleanse combination or oily skin.

An inexpensive cleanser for dry skin is Krave’s Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser which retails for $16, while a good drugstore option for all skin types is the Simple Water Boost Micellar Facial Gel Wash for about $7 on Amazon.

Exfoliation treatments remove

dead skin on the face, unclogs pores, brightens dull skin and reduces blackheads. There are two main types of exfoliators: mechanical and chemical.

Mechanical exfoliators, like scrubs, are difficult because the beads in them can cause irritation or dryness, and it can be difficult to know when it’s being helpful or hurtful.

Chemical exfoliation dissolves the dead skin on the face at a steady rate. Low-cost chemical exfoliators in The Ordinary skin care line include The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% Serum for $6.80 at Sephora and The Ordinary 30% AHA Peeling Solution for $7.20 from SkinStore.com. The serum is more gentle than the solution, so it is important to start with gentle exfoliators first and not use them daily in case the product causes a bad reaction.

Most people know about

moisturizers because they are similar to putting on lotion after the shower or when skin is very dry.

The same system applies here.

Moisturizers are for everyone.

They help oily skin become less oily, and they nourish dry skin.

People with oily skin should use lotions instead of creams, and they should have an exfoliant ingredient. For dry skin, look for a cream that tends to have higher oil content. A few cheaper options for dry skin are the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for $17 on Amazon and the iUnik Centella Calming Gel Cream for $10 on Yesstyle.com.

Last, but not least, is sunscreen, which is the most important step in a skin care routine. Ninety percent of the way skin ages is linked to sun exposure. The sun damages skin and causes many of the issues that are trying to be avoided, such as dehydration, wrinkles and dark spots.

ARIANNA GUTIERREZ / DAILY TITAN

Some light-weight, affordable sunscreens include: CeraVe mineral sunscreen face lotion for $18 from Walgreens, Krave’s Beauty Beet Shield: SPF 50+ for $20 and Dear, Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50+ for $20 from Yesstyle. com.

Sticking to a simpler skin care routine will help students save money while also showing their skin the love it deserves. A perk that also helps students is the student discount on websites such as ASOS.com and Paula’s Choice, which both give students 10% off on purchases.

The world of skin care can be scary, confusing and stressful, but taking the time to find what works and sticking to it will be a great asset in the future. College is stressful and money can be tight, but that doesn’t mean a person’s skin should suffer. Glowing, beautiful skin is within reach.

Identity: Stories of discrimination call for a change CONTINUED FROM 1 Joshua Fatahi, president of the organization, said he believes it’s extremely important to host events like the one held yesterday because hearing people’s interactions with oppressive structures is more beneficial than showing people statistics and headlines.

“I can only do so much as a non-Palestinian to show statistics, events and news, but when you hear a personal story from someone that was in Palestine and experienced the oppression, it hits different,” Fatahi said.

He said he wishes to educate folks on campus, so that the spread of misinformation is prevented.

Fatahi said the three main goals for the organization are to end the occupation of Palestine,

end the blockade of Gaza and to achieve the right of return for Palestinians.

There is also a strong focus on standing in solidarity with Palestine under the Israeli occupation. Mukbel said they like to educate others and create a form of unity on campus for Palestinians.

The organization, which has been on the Cal State Fullerton campus since 2010, is a solidarity organization that accepts members, regardless of identity.

On Apr. 30, the organization will bring a doctor to campus who was part of a flotilla in the West Bank in Gaza. They will also be coordinating with the SoCal Palestine Coalition to invite other Students for Justice in Palestine organizations and Titans to attend their events.

‘Invisible Man’ is a must see

Director Leigh Whannell successfully modernizes H.G. Wells’ classic novel.

BLAKE MARA Staff Writer

Universal Pictures’ Dark Universe has gone dark, no pun intended. With releases such as “The Mummy” reboot and “Dracula Untold,” it seemed the studio was trying and failing to compete with the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Warner Bros.’ MonsterVerse and DC’s Extended Movie Universe.

However, with the release of “The Invisible Man,” the Dark Universe is better left forgotten, in a positive way.

Written and directed by Leigh Whannell and based on the novel by H.G. Wells, the film focuses on Cecilia Kass, played by Elisabeth Moss, who runs away from her abusive boyfriend and tries to recover from the trauma she endured.

When she learns her boyfriend has committed suicide, she inherits a large sum of money along with the inheritance left behind by his deceased ex-girlfriend.

Just when she thinks her nightmare is over, Cecilia becomes haunted by an invisible being that stalks her wherever she goes. Worse still, the people in her life don’t believe in the invisible being.

This leaves Cecilia in the vulnerable position of having

to figure out why this is happening to her, while also uncovering her deceased ex-boyfriend’s history.

Elizabeth Moss’ performance as the traumatized lead is the highlight of her career.

The range of emotions she displays on screen — particularly her immense paranoia — give the flim much depth.

Although the side characters perform exceptionally, Moss steals the show. From her early days as a supporting character in the TV show “Mad Men ‘’ to her leading role in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” she has come a long way and has finally carved a niche for herself in the industry.

Director Leigh Whannell’s previous film “Upgrade” was a low-budget sci-fi horror film that focused primarily on practicality over spectacle.

With a limited budget of only $5 million, he was given free rein in his approach to action sequences, and the results garnered the film

a respectable cult following.

With “The Invisible Man,” Whannell is once again given full creative control in several key action-based scenes that take place in open areas.

With a budget of almost $7

million, the film’s story is told without the reliance on heavy visual effects, save for the titular character. Furthermore, the various settings in the film help to amplify the suspense and make the scares even stronger.

Whether it’s in a house or a hospital, the settings are perfect for the story of a woman who is stalked by an invisible entity.

Although the film is marketed as horror, it’s more of a psychological thriller, given the main character is being followed by an invisible entity that aims to make her life miserable.

This purpose is apparent toward the beginning of the film, when Cecilia is trying to escape from her abusive boyfriend. The camera angles and the lack of music punctuate the intensity of the scene and makes it clear that this movie relies on tension rather than jump scares.

The film also makes clever use of cinematography. Much like Whannell’s previous film, the camera

captures movements from the perspectives of the characters One of the most underrated facets to come from this film is its use of long takes.

While it’s not like “1917” in its cinematic execution, two standout scenes utilize this technique to build up the suspense between the protagonist and the environment surrounding her.

However, the movie falters with its plot conveniences and flawed movie logic. One notable example is when a character calls a rideshare service and the logic behind the driver abiding by the character’s particular request is noticeably weak.

Also, the use of technology in the film, especially the use of cameras, is another plot hole that needs to be mentioned.

Given that the film takes place in the tech-savvy city of San Francisco, there is a cognitive dissonance between surveillance and the premise of a woman being constantly stalked by an invisible being.

Despite the film’s illogical inconveniences, it is still an excellent film.

With a standout performance from Moss and Whannell’s tight and concise direction, this is the first great film to come out in 2020.

It also goes to show that small budget horror and thriller films are the way to go when telling simple, yet effective, stories without resorting to big explosions or exotic locations.

‘Gentified’ speaks the truth

The Netflix original features harsh realities of the Latinx experience in Los Angeles.

DANIEL VENEGAS Asst. Editor

Over the past years, there has been a shift in television with greenlighted shows. Networks like HBO, Hulu and Netflix now feature stories such as “Ramy” and “Masters of None” that are told by marginalized voices and accurate actors who truthfully represent the material.

Netflix continues this welcomed trend with “Gentefied,” a Netflix original based on a web series created by Linda Yvette Chávez, Marvin Lemus and executively produced by America Ferrera.

The show follows a grandfather whose restaurant in Boyle Heights is struggling to stay afloat when the building owner, played by Wilmer Valderrama, raises the rent. It’s up to his three adult grandchildren to save their restaurant.

The plot sounds well known, but there hasn’t been a show like this before. The plot is merely a vehicle to explore the very heavy, relevant and real issues of gentrification, identity and race.

However, these issues can come off as contrived. But, between the three years since the webseries, Chávez and Lemus have nailed down the tightness of what really makes this show work on a fundamental level: explaining the Latinx experience told through the main characters.

Like a prism refracting a singular light into separate rays, each of these main characters reflect a different aspect of the first generation Latinx experience in Los Angeles.

Chris, played by Carlos Santos, is the coconut or guerro of the bunch. He is constantly berated by his family and friends for not being Mexican enough, along with speaking limited Spanish and being looked upon VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

NETFLIX PRODUCTION COMPANY

as white washed. A college-educated chef at an upscale restaurant with dreams of attending Cordon Bleu in Paris, Chris is constantly having to prove his Mexican identity. It is an experience many first generation Latinx people can identify with, and Santos does a fantastic job of showing just how grating it can be on a person to constantly have to prove their identity.

Ana Morales, played by Karrie Martin, is the second of the cousins. She is an artist who lives at home with her mother and little sister. As a Latinx woman who is a part of the LGBTQ community, audiences get to explore the uncomfortable homophobia that is present in the Latinx community.

The situations the writers place Morales in are some of the most heart-wrenching instances of the show being pulled in multiple directions. Morales easily brings the audience to tears on more than one occasion.

The last of the cousins is Erik, played by Joseph Julian

Soria, who steals the show as the heart of the series. His character hasn’t done much with his life, but with a baby on the way and the restaurant’s impending closure, he is forced to step up in a way he hasn’t before.

He is portrayed as the stereotypical stoner with a shaved head. Based on his appearance most shows would be happy to relegate him as a Latinx stereotype extra, however, “Gentefied” explores him as a complete person.

The depth that Soria brings to Erik, especially during the show’s emotionally trying scenes, is a breath of fresh LA air. It is refreshing to see a series portray actors that look like Soria as someone other than a criminal. He reads, helps his community and loves his family and friends.

While these three characters are expertly created, they are not enough to explore the issues at large. It is here that the showrunners display a willingness to step away from the main

characters to explore these nuanced issues from a different and necessary perspective.

One of the best episodes in the series is episode eight “Women’s Work,” which is centered around Ana’s mother, Beatriz, played by Laura Patalano. In the first half of the series, she is portrayed as a malevolent character who constantly antagonizes Ana for pursuing her dream as an artist and not financially contributing to the family.

However, as this episode shows, Beatriz is a much more sympathetic character with an all to real plight. She works in the garment industry as a seamstress who is constantly taken advantage of by her employer due to her immigration status.

By stepping away from the central narrative, viewers see another side of this nuanced and difficult situations that immigrants face every day.

With the show having such a heavy focus on community, the locale is just as much a character as the actors. Taking place in

Boyle Heights, the entire vibe represented by the locations and smaller characters lend a believability from the first episode to the last.

The showrunners decided to end the first season in brave fashion, because at the heart of the show it doesn’t take the easy road to resolve the problems. It shows that for people who are marginalized, the problems such as gentrification and xenophobia are not things that are easily redressed in a few episodes. Hopefully, the show catches on with enough viewers to merit a second season from Netflix.

Overall, the show achieves its goal. It is a series that brought tears of laughter and melancholy. People of the Latinx community will easily identify with the characters and situations presented in the show.

Viewers not a part of the Latinx community will gain valuable insight into a group of people who often don’t get represented properly on screen.

TITAN TOONS

REBECCA MENA / DAILY TITAN

Column: Study abroad is worth the price tag With its beautiful sites and delicious foods, Italy is an unmatched destination.

BAYLEE MAUST Freelancer

According to the American Institute For Foreign Study, Italy is one of the most popular study abroad programs, especially the city of Florence.

Last semester, I was fortunate to study abroad there with Cal State Fullerton’s Department of Communications.

I got the opportunity to take a variety of courses for my degree, fulfill an internship and travel almost every weekend. Even though I saw a variety of cultures and livelihoods in each city I visited, Florence remained my favorite.

It’s no surprise why it’s one of

the most popular study abroad programs, as the sights and features of the city specifically cater to any adventurous student.

Coffee Shops Worldwide, Tuscany is one of the top destinations with the best-tasting wines. But if you aren’t a big fan of alcohol, the coffee is definitely a must-try beverage. You can find small cafés and bakeries on almost every corner in Florence; but, no matter the coffee spot, you will never have a bad cup.

In addition to its great taste, coffee and pastries are extremely

affordable. I was able to find a café that was about a 3-minute walk from my apartment which served cappuccinos for 1.30 euros, or $1.45.

However, all these positives come with some negatives. Many Italians will look at you funny or even go as far as to refuse to serve coffee after 11 a.m., as locals believe that the milk mixed in with caffeinated beverages will lead to poor digestion.

So, if you want to enjoy an inexpensive cappuccino, you might have to wake up a little earlier for it.

A project that once inspired you may be experiencing some growing pains now.

There’s stress happening between your personal creative impulses and those of the collective.

All the Carbs You Can Imagine Of course, when someone hears Italy they might immediately think home of spaghetti. For the most part, they are somewhat correct.

Florence has just as many pasta restaurants as it does cafés to choose from and each location serves a variety of pastas. Fresh tomatoes and homemade dough for pasta noodles make Italian pasta feel, well, like it’s straight from Italy.

Isolation.

You’re straightforward by nature, which helps you to have clear and concise conversations, yet may limit your overall growth. Let curiosity serve your clarity.

Don’t ignore your skepticism today; you just may be on to something. It seems there’s something a bit mysterious happening within your circle of friends or a group you belong to.

You’re a person who stands strongly by your values and today you have a chance to express them in a new way. You may find that some of these values are challenged now.

The things you think a relationship should be and what your relationships really look like right now may not be lining up. Or, you may be experiencing tension between work life and your love life.

Florence: Coffee and sunsets galore CONTINUED FROM 6 Once you’re sick of pasta, Italy is also the birthplace of pizza, and Italians definitely live up to that standard. Pizzas are usually personalized at every restaurant and eaten with a fork entirely by yourself!

And what’s a meal without dessert? If you’re not full from devouring a whole pizza, prepare for the endless options of gelato flavors available. Gelato is Italian for ice cream, but it is prepared with slightly more milk and no eggs, leaving it denser and tastier than American ice cream.

Even after living in Italy for three months, I still felt like there were so many wonderful dishes left to try. Needless to say, you definitely won’t go hungry in Florence.

Say Goodbye to Cars and Hello to Cardio After a nutritious diet of constant pizza, pasta and gelato on the daily, you’re probably wondering why you don’t see Italians rolling down the streets of Florence.

Since Florence has a small city center, a majority of people travel around on foot. Florentine buildings and streets are tightly condensed, which means you can cover the entire city in about 35 minutes.

Study-abroad students are usually spread throughout the city — rather than being placed in one building — due to the limited room spaces. My apartment was the furthest from the campus I was attending, but sightseeing became an occasional part of my daily commute. Plus, a 20-minute walk in Florence doesn’t drag as much as the equal distance walk in CSUF’s campus. Rather than crossing from The Habit to College Park and praying not to get struck by turning cars, I crossed

beautiful bridges that overlooked a river in Florence every single day.

Walking everywhere is fantastic for your health and great for the environment too. Although some Italians do own cars, you definitely won’t be seeing as many smogfilled skies as you would in California.

History and Art Stepping into Florence is like going back in time. All of the buildings’ architecture has been neatly preserved to maintain its archaic and eclectic style.

Although it’s true that Italians don’t sport huge mansions, the simple and historic nature of the buildings provide a nice alternative to the suburban housing and mansions sprinkled around Orange County.

Florence is also home to some of the most famous pieces of artwork, such as Michelangelo’s David, which can be found in the Accademia Museum and “The Birth of Venus”, which is housed at the Uffizi Gallery.

Between all the learning in classrooms and museum visits, studying abroad will grant you an incredible sense of knowledge.

Although studying abroad can seem like a timely and costly endeavor, it’s a bargain of a lifetime for the amount of money university programs are charging to live in a different country for a long period of time.

Living away from friends and family can feel like an impossible feat at first, but as the old saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun. It’s hard to not have a blast when you’re eating gelato by the bucketful, walking through bustling streets and watching the sunset over a city that looks like it’s been captured in time.

Men’s golf wins Sacramento State Invitational Derek Castillo finished first overall scoring 4-under par in the final round.

TREVOR VERNOLA Staff Writer

The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team finished the third and final round of the Sacramento State Invitational yesterday at the Valley Hi Country Club. CSUF posted the best single-round team score of the tournament at 11-under-par 288 and were crowned champions for the second year in a row.

The five-man team that the Titans sent to Elk Grove, California,

completely outmatched their competition. They finished the two-day, three-round invitational at 2-overpar 866 — 23 strokes ahead of second-place Cal State Northridge, making them back-to-back winners of the Sacramento State Invitational.

CSUF also left the country club with an individual winner, Derek Castillo, as he went 4-under-par 68 in his best round of the three. The strong third round sent him into first place overall, 1-under-par 215.

Castillo is the second Titan in a row to win the individual title at the invitational. CSUF senior Jack Dyer went home with the award in 2019. Castillo’s win is his second in

less than a month, as he took first place in the Orange County Collegiate Classic in the second week of February. Dyer followed his strong outing from last season and finished the third round at 1-over-par 73, which put him at 1-over-par 217 for the tournament. Dyer finished in third place overall, behind Castillo and CSUN’s Mats Ege. Dyer was the only member of Fullerton’s five-man team to finish over par in the third round. Dalton Daniel logged his best outing of the tournament in round three as he shot 2-under-par 70, which tied him for fourth overall at 3-overpar 219. Matt Rafter matched fellow Titan Daniel at 2-under-par 70

in the third round, which was also his best of the invitational. Rafter’s seven-stroke improvement from the second round brought him up to a sixth-place tie with a 5-over-par 221 overall.

Garrett Boe started round one 9-over-par 81, then proceeded to make a six-stroke improvement in rounds two and three, and ended round three 3-under-par 69. Boe finished the three rounds in 16th place, 9-over-par 225.

Trevor McNarry shot 3-overpar 75 in round three, which put him at 17-over par 233 and in a tie for 39th place overall. Jess Scheller shot his best round of the tournament in round three, 2-over-par 74,

and finished in a tie for 47th place at 18-over-par 234. Both McNarry and Scheller competed individually in the tournament. Weber State’s Hunter Howe finished with the best round of the tournament as he shot 5-under-par 67 in the final round.

Several Big West competitors participated in the tournament alongside CSUF. Behind second place CSUN were UC Irvine in third, UC Santa Barbara in fourth, Cal Poly SLO in seventh and UC Riverside in ninth.

The Titans will head out to Phoenix, Arizona for the Grand Canyon University Invitational on March 13-14 for their next event.

Sun Devils burn Titans from behind the plate

CSUF has lost four out of its last five games after losing at home to Arizona State yesterday.

JOSE FLORES Asst. Editor

Cal State Fullerton baseball suffered another loss yesterday, this time to No. 10 Arizona State, 12-2.

The brutal beating brings the Titan’s record down to 4-8 and they now have a 2-6 home record.

In junior Landon Anderson’s first start of the season, the left-handed pitcher started the game strong and retired the first three ASU batters.

The Sun Devils were not fully focused taking the field in the bottom of the first inning. Their first baseman committed a fielding error and allowed Titan’s lead-off Brett Borgogno to reach first and advance to second.

Then, sophomore Zach Lew doubled to center field and brought in the first run of the night. A sacrifice fly by JJ Cruz brought Lew home after he reached third base and earned the second run the first

inning, 2-0.

After starting the game brilliantly dealing six-up-six-down, Anderson found himself in trouble in the top of the third inning. With one out, ASU finally got their first hit of the game. An ensuing walk and groundout put two runners in scoring position.

In a jam, the Titan’s decided to intentionally walk ASU junior

Spencer Torkelson, who has six home runs on the season. Bases loaded and down, 3-1, in the pitch count, Anderson threw a high fastball that was called a ball, which resulted in the Sun Devil’s first run scored. A single shot to right field by Drew Swift scored two more runs for the Sun Devils, and allowed them to finish the inning with a 3-2 lead.

After the tough third inning, Anderson’s night was cut short, as he finished the game with two strikeouts, four walks and gave up three runs.

“I just couldn’t find my fastball. I had no command for my fastball. I got behind the hitters, walked a few guys and then they capitalized on a couple of fastballs on the outside of the plate and drove some runs in,” Anderson said.

Left-handed sophomore Titus Groeneweg came to the mound and began the fourth inning where controversy soon struck.

ASU freshman Nathan Baez smashed a ball that danced above the foul line all the way until it appeared to finally curve outside the foul pole, which warranted a foul ball. However, the third base umpire signaled Baez to run the bases and called it a homerun.

After the umpires conferred by the mound, the call was then corrected to a foul ball. The change in decision resulted in the ASU coach to storm the field and demand an explanation. The crowd came alive once the coach angrily walked back to the dugout. Baez struck out and

the Titans were able to escape the inning unscathed.

Groneweg’s night was also short lived as he gave up four hits and two runs with no outs in the top of the sixth inning. Fullerton went to the bullpen again and did two more times as the game got increasingly out of hand.

With two runners on base in scoring position, the Titan’s intentionally walked Torkelson again. Arizona State once more had bases loaded and were able to string together two additional base hits which allowed three more runs to score in the sixth inning, 8-2.

A two-run home run by Torkelson in the eighth inning and two insurance runs in the ninth were the final nails in the coffin for CSUF. “We played two good innings then we give up three runs in the third … and once we got behind by one run then they started acting like they were behind by 20. (Arizona State) ain’t that good,” CSUF head coach Rick Vanderhook said. “We couldn’t get it under control.”

CSUF will play Arizona State again tonight at Goodwin Field at 6 p.m.
