Resignation threats in ASI

At the Board of Directors meeting ten polling assistants threaten to leave amidst controversy

Ten polling assistants threatened to resign at the ASI Board of Direc-tors meeting Tuesday. Should they resign, April’s election may be im-possible to conduct.

Led by Nikhil Kulkarni, senior elections assistant, the assistants spoke out against the recent ap-pointment of Dominick Prieto to the position of elections commis-sioner. They feel the process by which he was appointed was unfair and spoke openly about their lack of confidence in the appointee.

“What I find unfair in this pro-cess is the way the board presented (their decision on) Dominick,” said Kulkarni after the meeting. “I think Joe Lopez had given the excuse of not having the time for four inter-views, which is something not ac-ceptable to a normal human mind, because as a president he has to ensure that the new commissioner is the one who is eligible, deserved, experienced and associated with the elections, not just the most enthusi-astic candidate.”

According to Kulkarni, 12 of the 27 polling assistants have agreed to resign if the board does not re-evaluate the decision. These polling assistants are responsible for man-ning the six polling booths across campus.

Two election assistants man the polling booths at a time, and there are at least two shift changes per day. Should all of these assistants resign, 15 would remain, rendering it im-

Tensions arise in protest Controversial statements made by a Villa Park councilwoman spark an outcry in the community

Villa Park erupted with noise when more than 800 people showed up outside the Villa Park City Coun-cil meeting Tuesday night to pro-test controversial statements said by Councilwoman Deborah Pauly.

“I know quite a few Marines who

will be willing to help these terrorists to an early meeting in paradise,” said Pauly, among other stirring state-ments, during a rally protesting a Muslim fundraising event in Yorba Linda Feb. 13.

During a special agenda meeting last week, Pauly said she regretted that her words were not more specific and claimed that her statements were di-

rected at the event’s keynote speakers, Imam Siraj Wahhaj and Amir Abdel Malik Ali, who spoke at the fundrais-ing event put on by a Queens, N.Y.-based Muslim group, Islamic Circle of North America Relief USA.

Some have labeled the two speak-ers as controversial, terrorists and anti-American.

In 1993, a U.S. attorney named

Wahhaj and 169 others as co-con-spirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but Wahhaj was never charged and has denied in-volvement. Wahhaj is currently an imam at a mosque in Brooklyn.

possible to man the stations from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. April 6 and 7.

Michael Mikulewicz, 23, an en-vironmental studies major and elec-tions office assistant, said Prieto is ill-equipped to handle the position due to his lack of experience.

“We actually have to teach (Pri-eto) every single thing in the office, and that actually puts the whole process of the election in jeopardy because we are actually very busy right now and we don’t have time to teach anyone,” said Mikulewicz. “We are his assistants, and we have to teach him what this is all about.”

ASI President Joe Lopez discusses business at the Board of Directors meeting Tuesday. A focal point was a threat by several assistants to resign.

Radiation scare not seen at CSUF

While the media is saturated with images of panic in the wake of Japan, students are unafraid

AMY LEADBETTERDaily Titan

As the radiation nightmare con-tinues at the Fukushima plant in Japan and Americans are hoarding preventative drugs in hopes to avoid possible effects, Cal State Fullerton students do not seem to be as para-noid as recent news reports claim.

A surprising disregard to the dis-may of the radiation’s impact was commonplace as many students ac-knowledged the fact that radiation was locally detected but denied any

form of panic or reason to purchase counteracting drugs.

“Americans want to make sure they stay safe, which is fine as a pre-cautionary,” said Ryan Carpenter, a kinesiology major. “Unless the plant has major leaks, I am personally not worried about the radiation and will not be buying preventative drugs.”

Potassium iodide is one of the many drugs Americans are stock-ing up on in fear of possible damage from recent exposure to radiation. The demand of radiation pills is at an all-time high as panicked con-sumers are stockpiling in reaction to the nuclear releases an ocean away.

Adriana Sierra, a graduate stu-dent in the Master of Education program, believes a lot of the local frenzy is directly correlated with the overwhelming publicity the media is placing on radiation detection in California.

There have been many recent re-ports and stories outlining the fear of potential damage to our bodies, and the coverage has become ex-tensive, yet scientists, doctors and health agencies in California are as-suring the public that the local radia-tion discovered is minuscule and not large or potent enough to pose any ramifications.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and their own personal anxiety level,” said Sierra. “I am not worried about it. I can see why peo-ple would be concerned, but I don’t think they should be scared.”

Baseball in control early Titans dominate Sun Devils in the three

innings with seven runs in DeMarini Invitational

WILLIAM CHENDaily Titan

After a three-game win streak over the University of Washington, the Cal State Fullerton baseball team crushed Pac-10’s top-seed Arizona State Sun Devils 7-3 with timely hits and strike-out pitches in the first of a two-game series.

After sweeping the Huskies last weekend, the Titans (12-7) faced a confident Arizona State (15-5).

The Titans were able to rack up six strikeouts with combined efforts from junior Jake Floethe and southpaw ju-nior Nick Ramirez. Floethe alone had five strikeouts during the evening.

“We worked well as a team,” said Floethe. “We maintained focus throughout all nine innings, and that was the big factor.”

Although Floethe allowed four walks, he patiently worked through the game one batter at a time, trusting the defense behind him.

The Titans began the evening strong when a double play was initiated from second baseman Anthony Trajano just three minutes into the game.

At the bottom of the first inning, the Titans began strong with a 2-0 lead.

Sophomore Richy Pedroza was the first Titan up to bat with a .392 batting average coming into the game. He hit the ball into left field and headed safely to first base.

After a faulty mistake from ASU first baseman Zach Wilson, who missed the throw at first, Trajano ad-vanced to second base and Pedroza to third base.

Holiday ideas on a student budget

With spring break around the corner, students may find fun at home

SARAH FERNANDEZDaily Titan

Let’s face it, I’m so over Old Man Winter, flooding rains and endless re-ality television shows. But without a lot of money to spend these days, how do college students recharge their bat-teries this spring break? Creativity will be the key to have fun and still be easy on your wallet.

Just because you aren’t going down to Cancun for break, doesn’t mean you still can’t have an awesome time out here. There are fun things to do, it is just a matter of knowing where to find them.

Whale watching is something that you should consider if you love the outdoors, animals and being with other people. The cost is only $20 and Newport Landing Whale Watch-ing offers year-round tours daily from Newport Beach.

People have also said that you can see tons of dolphins there as well. It is an amazing experience with beautiful scenery, so grab a friend and make a day out of it on a weekend. While out in Newport, check out the Boardwalk for amusement park food and fun.

IODIDE: Lack of a scare at CSUF

Jneil Bone, a sociology major, agreed that the media is to blame for a lot of the frenzy that many Ameri-cans are experiencing.

Bone’s family lives in Tenri, Japan and although it is not close to the nuclear plant in crisis, she is confi-dent that if they are not affected, let alone worried about the harmful ra-diation, then Americans should not be so frantic about radiation that has flown 5,000 miles to the West Coast.

“I watch CNN, and they assure that what has been detected in Cali-fornia is very little. There is radiation everywhere we turn: in microwaves, X-rays, cell phones, everything. Peo-ple are being way too paranoid,” said Bone.

Ricardo Espino, a criminal justice major, said he was worried when he first saw reports of the radiation sur-face.

It initially did create a scare in him, but he said as days went by he became less worried.

“Our body consumes unsafe levels of radiation daily. Japan being so far away has little effect compared to the other forms of radiation we are con-stantly in contact with,” said Espino.

Espino said he will not contribute to the buying of preventative pills because he believes if the radiation were to have an effect, we would have seen it already.

“Until we start seeing things hap-pening, I am not going to worry,” Espino said.

Similar to many others, Espino is not concerned about the impact of nuclear radiation, and all the stu-dents interviewed admitted it was because no threatening symptoms of the radiation contact are evident.

One thing is certain, CSUF stu-dents are not carrying potassium iodide pills in their backpacks and until they witness or hear of any lo-cal effects, they do not plan on doing so anytime soon.

ASI: Head elections assistant threat-ens the board with his resignation

Harpreet Singh Gill, 21, a com-puter science major, was upset that he was not informed by Prieto when he assumed his position. He cites this as a lack of transparency on the part of ASI and the commissioner.

“We are just asking for transpar-ency. We’re just asking for them to give us reasons why this decision was made and why Nikhil was not accepted as an elections commissioner,” said Gill.

Singh, who has volunteered with the elections commission for a year, spoke highly of Kulkarni’s ability.

ASI President Joe Lopez said he followed all the bylaws in his appoint-ment of Prieto.

“I followed all policies and pro-cedures. I did not break any rules by doing this. It’s a presidential appoint-ment, and I chose to appoint Domi-nick,” said Lopez. “The process was consistent across the board.”

The bylaws state that an outgoing ASI president will appoint the new commissioner. However, because Jay Jefferson, the former elections com-missioner, resigned midway through the semester, Lopez was responsible for appointing the new commissioner.

Lopez said he considered Nikhil’s application after Jefferson’s resignation.

“Nikhil was considered fairly and consistently with all of the applicants in the process,” Lopez said.

Derek Tally, 22, a sociology major and standing member of the Univer-sity Affairs Committee, expressed con-cern over the possible mass resignation.

“If things happen the way that they seem to be happening, it will definitely stifle the election process, and it will be a disservice to the students of Cal State Fullerton,” said Tally. He is also the creator of the elections commission.

“The elections commission is some-thing that I actually created about a year ago,” Tally said. “The point of it was supposed to be a bunch of mini-assistant commissioners so that the commissioner did not have to stress about everything. He could disperse the responsibility between five to 10 people.”

Tally himself was not confident in Prieto’s ability to lead the elections commission.

“I don’t believe that Dominick can employ the people when they don’t re-ally believe in his abilities,” Tally said.

Many workers on the elections commission, including Kulkarni, sus-pect Lopez’s decision was based on Pri-eto’s fraternity affiliation. Lopez said he did not even know Prieto until he was elected to the board last fall.

“I first met Dominick after he was elected to the ASI Board of Directors,” Lopez said.

Kulkarni and the board are plan-ning on having a closed meeting Thursday in order to discuss the issue further.

K-9 officer essential to Fullerton Police

Police Department feels the absence of its dogs with one officer injured and another training

ANDREW KWOKDaily Titan

On a night when the Fullerton Po-lice Department’s traffic unit was con-ducting a drug search on a tow-yard-kept pickup truck, Officer J. Boline was called out to assist.

“They went through this car like you wouldn’t believe (and) couldn’t find anything; there was just plain nothing in the car at all, other than the gun that they had found under the seat,” said Boline.

That’s when Blitz, the police-com-missioned German shepherd assigned to Boline, was sent in.

Blitz began alerting the officers of a drug presence somewhere in the ve-hicle. Boline noticed the bed of the truck had new paint and discovered it was actually a false floor. The real bed was two or three inches underneath; this vehicle was used to transport drugs, and testing swabs confirmed there was indeed cocaine residue in the hidden compartment.

Only there were no drugs in the truck that night.

“That just shows how strong Blitz’s nose is. He was able to alert on drugs that had been transported in the past in this thing,” Boline said.

Boline has been a K-9 handler for Fullerton PD since June of 2008.

Work is work for him, and play is play. When not patrolling, Blitz goes to his kennel in Boline’s home. Stay-ing outside of the house ensures that Blitz stays a duty dog, as opposed to being a household pet.

For the job, Boline and Blitz went through a 400-hour training course with Work Dogs International.

“It’s not to train the officer how to do police work, and it’s not to train the dog how to do K-9 work, because the dog is already trained, and the of-ficer is already trained, but they have to work together,” Boline said.

But it’s not work for Blitz in the same sense that Boline thinks of it.

“When I say play, for us, we call it work. But for the dog it’s play. When you do dope searches, tracking, find-ing people, whatever it may be, it’s all play for the dog because at the end he gets a reward, usually playing tug of war with a piece of hose or something like that,” Boline said.

The same rules apply when Blitz has to apprehend a suspect.

“It’s basically the same thing. It’s a game for the dogs, they’re not aggres-sive man eaters, they don’t want to go out and just hurt people,” Boline said.

Blitz may only be playing, but to Boline, being on patrol together means having a partner in a city where most patrol cars carry only a single of-ficer.

“It’s an awesome feeling. Every-

where you go, he’s watching you. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing. He can be dead tired, it can be two in the morning, he’s worked all day long, if you’re out of that car doing some-thing, he’s sitting up in the back seat, and his ears are up, and he’s just locked on,” Boline said.

As critical as the patrol dogs are to Fullerton PD, the city can only afford so many, as they can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000, according to Boline.

In October 2010, Fullerton PD sent out a press release saying that “Officer” Jager, one of only two patrol dogs commissioned, had retired, and that a fund had been set up to accept donations for his replacement. Boline helped the cause by giving demonstra-tions with Blitz, and generous dona-tions led to the purchase of a new dog, currently being trained with a Fuller-ton PD officer.

Blitz is trained to respond only to Boline, which means he’ll have to take a break for a few weeks since Boline has suffered an injury that is keeping him from work.

“It is a big hit to the agency,” said Corporal Tim Kandler, who was a K-9 handler from 2004 to 2007.

In this type of case, when Fullerton PD does need a dog and its owner is unable to work, surrounding cities provide mutual aid, said Kandler.

Boline has been called to Anaheim, Placentia, Brea, La Habra and Buena Park when dogs in those cities were unavailable.

“I’d say they’re needed every night; we should always have them out there,” Boline said. “It’s just a tool to keep us safe, keep the citizens safe, keep everybody safe, even keep the suspects safe.”

But when it comes to K-9 offi-cers, the handlers have the final say in whether the dog should be used or not. They’re given the trust to judge when the dogs will be useful.

“I know my dog, and I know what he’s capable of, and I know what he’s going to do in certain situations,” Bo-line said.

Although patrol dogs are not pets for the officers, the emotional bond is inevitable.

“As far as the relationship between the handler and the dog, it is not a personal dog or a family dog. But there’s still a great bond there. You still pet the dog and praise the dog a lot, just like you would a family dog,” Kandler said.

And although K-9 handlers have to keep that work relationship, the dogs do have to retire at some point in their lives.

“They just want to be rewarded, and they want to be loved. That’s why dogs are so cool, they just don’t ask for anything but your love and a little affection. That’s what keeps them go-ing.”

A gray Toyota Camry tried to park in the Denny’s lot off of Nutwood Avenue at 5 p.m., when the brakes went out on the vehicle. Unable to make it to the parking lot, the driver made a quick decision and used a tree to stop the car. On impact, the Camry caught fire and the Fullerton Fire Department was dispatched to extinguish the blaze. The driver was unharmed.

PROTEST: Tensions over comment


Protesters show their disdain at comments made by a Villa Park councilwoman.MARK SAMALA / Daily Titan

The College of Education received a $775,000 dona-tion, the largest amount it has ever obtained. The money will impact the College by funding student scholarships and faculty fellowships.

“That’s a lot of money,” said Sarah Cushing, 20, a child and adolescent development major. Cushing said she thinks the donation will persuade more students to apply for scholarships, herself included.

“If I knew about it, which I do now, I would definitely apply for it,” Cushing said.

About the donor:The donor, Emma E. Holmes, Ph.D., is a former pro-

fessor at Cal State Fullerton in the Department of Elemen-tary and Bilingual Education. She retired in 1992 but con-tinued to teach part time until 1997.

Holmes was aware of the financial strains put upon stu-dents in the College of Education because they work full time to get their credentials. She funded a math award at the beginning of her retirement and added the $775,000 endowed scholarship after her husband died.

“She just loves Cal State Fullerton. She was very com-mitted to Cal State Fullerton professionally and philan-thropically,” said Bobbee Cline, director of development for the College of Education. “She just is one of those people who gives back, and it’s wonderful that she’s been able to have this sizable a gift.”

About the scholarships:According to the College of Education financial aid and

scholarship information website, the Emma E. Holmes - Master’s Program in Curriculum and Instruction scholar-ship is available to students pursuing a master’s degree with a concentration in curriculum and instruction. Students must have a 3.2 GPA and a commitment to high-quality teaching.

The Emma E. Holmes - Multiple Subject Credential Program scholarship is open to students admitted to or enrolled in the multiple subject credential program. A 3.0 undergraduate GPA and commitment to teaching are the criteria for application. Recipients of both scholarships will be notified by letter in June.

Each scholarship is valued at $1,000, but changes are likely.

“Because of the amount of the endowment, we will probably be able to offer several scholarships instead of one. We may increase the amount too,” Cline said.

Scholarship recipients are chosen by a committee. There are two to three faculty reviewers per application who use a rubric to score the applicant. The person with the highest average score on the rubric receives the scholarship.

How an endowment works:An endowment is comparable to a savings account. The

initial $775,000 will never be touched. The donation will remain in the university fund accumulating interest. The annual interest is what funds the scholarships and fellow-ships.

“Forever, literally, this will be bringing good things to the students of Cal State Fullerton,” Cline said.

Facts and figures:

Out of 440 applications from 110 applicants, only 52 students were awarded scholarships, according to College of Education scholarship statistics from 2010-11. The total value equaled approximately $50,000. Half the stu-dents who applied did not receive a scholarship, even if they qualified. The $775,000 donation will curb instances such as these by giving out more scholarships to pupils in need.

What it means for Cal State Fullerton:“Given the financial circumstances that abound us,

I think it provides opportunities for some students that wouldn’t otherwise have them,” said Karen Ivers, chair of the Department of Elementary and Bilingual Education.

The College receives many scholarship applicants, and the donation will assist students who would normally be turned away.

The donation was so large that Holmes established a faculty fellowship in addition to the student scholarships. The fellowship will give full-time, tenured faculty in the College of Education three units of release time for a se-mester.

This gives professors the opportunity to do research by getting them back out to elementary schools, high schools and community colleges so they can get back in touch with what is going on in the field, Cline said.

“Cal State Fullerton prepares almost 70 percent of the classroom teachers and administrators in Orange County. If you make a difference here, you make a difference all across the schools in Orange County,” Cline said.

How to make a difference:Although Holmes’ gift is the largest the College of Edu-

cation has ever received, one does not have to be wealthy to be a donor.

“People frequently think to be a philanthropist or do-nor, you need to be wealthy and you have to be someone who’s the head of a Fortune 500 company,” Cline said.

Cline stressed the importance of giving back, even if it is only $20. There are a number of retired teachers and alum-ni who fund scholarships every year, even if it’s only $500.

Apply for future scholarships:Although the deadline to apply was March 7, it is never

too early to begin thinking about applying for next year’s scholarships.

The information necessary to apply is everywhere, said Aimee Nelson, assistant dean for Student Affairs. An-nouncements are sent through the student portal once applications are made available, she said. Information is given to faculty and department chairs to tell students. Updates are kept on the College of Education website.

It is a myth that because a student does not have a lot of volunteer experience or they were not involved in a stu-dent organization that they are not eligible, said Nelson.

“Even if you don’t have a long list of those activities, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not eligible for a scholar-ship, so people assume that and then they don’t apply,” said Nelson.

“We take a lot of other things into consideration and we know our students are in a crutch for time, for resources, for aid, for all of that. We are sensitive to it and we en-courage our students to apply for these,” Nelson said. “We want to encourage leadership, but there are a lot of other ways you can do that.”

Malik Ali is a Bay Area Islamic ac-tivist who spoke at “Israeli Apartheid Week” at UC Irvine in 2010. There he said he supports Hezbollah, which the CIA labels a terrorist group.

However, many who protested Pauly on Tuesday night said they did not believe her statements were directed at two particular speakers. The protest was organized through Facebook.

“She’s lying through her teeth,” one Facebook attendee wrote on the event’s wall.

Some protesters said they were dis-gusted by what they heard Pauly said.

“I’m here because I saw the clips on Deborah Paul and she was there representing Villa Park, and I’m here to stand up and show people that Villa Park is not a town full of hate,” said Lisa Potiker, a Cal State Fuller-ton student and Villa Park resident. “Deborah Pauly, what she said while representing our town, is just wrong.”

Other protesters acknowledged her statements as genuine but point-ed out that she was reckless with her comments and should be held re-sponsible.

“Extremists will use what she says as a propaganda tool and say, ‘This is the face of America,’” said Omar Masry, the rally organizer and a U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq. “I was bothered and motivated to do something.”

Masry added that a lot of his

friends, who are not Muslim, said they were also bothered by what they heard in videos of Yorba Linda’s pro-test. Videos of the Yorba Linda pro-test went viral within a week.

Love was the theme of Tuesday’s protest. A large crowd, American flags and posters reading, “I am Mus-lim, and I am not a terrorist” and “Villa Park is now infamous, thanks Deborah” could be seen from afar as cars pulled in to park in the 17800 block of Santiago Boulevard Plaza.

“Racists go home. Racists go home,” protesters chanted to parody the protesters of the Muslim event who said, “Go back home” as attend-ees walked to and from the event.

Most counter-protesters said they were present to support freedom of speech.

“We want freedom of speech and we’re not going to let any group tram-ple over our rights to free speech,” said Rabbi Shifren, a friend of Pauly.

Police from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department watched from afar as opposing groups got closer and eventually engaged in dialogue.

Many attendees said they appreci-ated the opportunity to speak to the opposing side and voice their opin-ions and concerns. One Pauly sup-porter said he agreed with a protester who told him dialogue is crucial.

“The popular thing to do is scream racism,” said David Smith, a resident of Orange. “When it comes down to it, they’re all fighting for the same thing, so it’s stupid that they’re butt-ing heads.”

Right out of the gate since the elec-tion in 2008, the Obama administra-tion proposed a new health care plan that has caused elation for some and fear for others. Although the loudest part of the debate has quieted some, the country is still struggling with key issues about the bill since it made its debut back when he was elected. Obamacare does, in fact, undervalue elderly people in this new system.

The plan has been under fire ever since and it looks like some of the is-sues being challenged are indeed worth challenging. It involves the govern-ment basically making decisions for those American citizens that require medical treatment. In an interview with The New York Times last May, Obama was quoted as saying:

“Certainly it is true when it comes

to Medicare and Medicaid, where the taxpayers are footing the bill and we have an obligation to get those costs under control.”

It looks as if the president is looking at health care from another perspective and not looking for the best interest of the people, which is exactly why the federal government should not be in the business of administering health care for all of its citizens. Granted, there are those who are without the means to take care of their own health care needs. However, this small seg-ment of the population could be pro-vided health care coverage for a smaller overall cost than what the Obama plan proposes.

The majority of the American popu-

lation is healthy in their younger years, with certain exceptions. It isn’t until the latter part of your life that you require extreme forms of health care. The bill includes cutting medical treatment for the elderly, who are in fact those who will need it most. Obama even talks about the difficult decisions that have to be made in order to have a success-ful “government-run” health care sys-tem. Do you remember the term “end of life counselors,” or better yet “death panels?”

“The chronically ill and the those toward the end of their lives are ac-counting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out there,” Obama said.

Health care costs under the current

administration will not be lowered. One of the basic truths about

Obamacare is the fact that once it becomes nationalized and the govern-ment begins rationing treatments, it is going to be the elderly that receive the cutbacks and restrictions to those treat-ments because they are the ones that have lived the longest.

It seems as if our society is slouching toward a culture of death, affecting the unborn and the old—the most vulner-able stages of life.

The legalization of abortion has ba-sically brought us to this point. If you can justify killing the innocent, then you can justify killing anything. It seems that when the elderly start reach-ing the end of their life and they are not contributing to society in a productive way (according to the government’s standards), the government wants to eliminate them even faster (e.g. eutha-nasia or “assisted suicide”).

In this case, it will be the restrictions of medical treatments for them. Life is precious at all stages. No govern-ment should have the right to make the determination as to when that person is no longer valuable. Whether it is a grandmother who spends her time reading to her grandchildren or a grandfather who is a crossing guard at a local elementary school, life is a gift, and we should be grateful.

Hippie Healthby NICOLE FELTON

“How to Live a Greener Life”

Change your habits: Start a healthy diet

Recently I had a friend call me in desperate need of some nutri-tion advice.

She told me she simply did not have time to make healthy choic-es or exercise. Being a college stu-dent with two jobs and an intern-ship, she told me she literally has time to make spaghetti and get out of the door as fast as she can.

I’m sure many of you can re-late to this manic schedule being a college student, but there still is no excuse to forget about the health of your body.

Spaghetti is a better choice than stopping at Taco Bell and order-ing a nacho cheese chicken chalu-pa, supersized. Although, my first question to my friend was what kind of pasta was she using in her spaghetti, and she responded with white. I told her that eating spa-ghetti was not a bad choice; there are ways to make it a healthier op-tion. First, using wheat pasta will enhance the health of the meal already. White pasta is stripped of its nutrients when the flour is bleached, and wheat pasta carries a lot of nutrients with less fat and calories.

People often say they simply do not have any time in their sched-ule to make it to the gym. Some admit that if they have an hour open they would rather spend it relaxing before they have to move on to their next task. When I don’t have time to make it to the gym I use my bedroom as my own personal workout facility. I might not be able to run three miles, but I can do exercises that will burn calories and tone my body.

If you want to be healthy in

more ways than one, take a walk around your neighborhood. This will not only be a good and dif-ferent way for you to exercise, but you will not have to drive any-where which will in result being healthier for the environment. Creating new ways to exercise is a good way to keep it less routine and daunting. I find that when I take at least a 30-minute walk around my neighborhood, I am able to release a lot of the stress I have accumulated over the day by being in nature’s beauty. It might sound corny, but you are able to stop and literally look beyond your day-to-day tasks at the world that is around you, ul-timately finding there is more to your life than merely what grade you received on your exam or what bill you have to pay next.

Breakfast is so important, and I cannot hammer that into your heads enough. When we do not provide our body with the nu-trients we need to complete our daily routine, it will be a lot more difficult. Eating breakfast in-creases brain power, reduces the amount of food you will consume at lunch and you won’t have the never-ending lethargic feeling.

Living a hectic life can lead to an unhealthy mind and body, unless you take a minute to add healthier choices into your day.

Life has more meaning than school and work, and if you do not lead a healthy lifestyle now, you might not be able to enjoy your life as much as you would without maintaining a healthy diet.

Peace, love and recycle!

The world is at our fingertips. As cliche as that might sound,

one must admit that long gone are the days of going to the library and digging through shelves for research and information. It is amazing how far communication has come. What started out as verbal folklore, in-scribed along cave walls, eventually became written words published on paper which quickly emerged to being circulated on the World Wide Web.

As more traditional book content goes digital and media technology prevails, everything is becoming in-creasingly accessible. Literature be-coming more obtainable to the masses

is a positive progression and although there is still a demand for physical books, one thing there is no denying is e-books are both useful and conve-nient, especially in our fast-paced so-ciety that is transforming our genera-tion into one that spends more time in front of the screen than ever before.

According to ProductiveWriters.com, in an article titled “2010 Book and E-Book Sales Data for the United States” by John Soares, it is the ninth year of tracking e-book sales and they increase significantly on an annual basis.

Last semester I purchased an e-book. I had instant access to informa-tion. I did not have to pay nor wait for shipping and handling.

The e-book consisted of a com-bination of text, images, audio and videos—something that I for one have never seen a printed book ca-pable of doing.

It did not consume shelf space, it had an easy “keyword search” func-

tion, provided links for simple access to information and related websites, and it also provided me with the op-tion of translating “text to speech,” which becomes beneficial when your eyes start hurting, words start to blur and the last thing you want to do is read 50 more pages.

Being my first experience with an e-book, I immediately fell in love. It made challenging material enjoyable and it incorporated many different techniques while presenting exercises that would otherwise be boring and dreadful to read.

If there were sections in the book I wished to focus on and wanted to physically have to highlight and mark up, I simply printed the pages. You have the option of printing the whole book if you wish.

E-books are just one of the many ways traditional forms of communi-cation are flourishing. It may never re-place printed books, but today we are exposed to tech-savvy equipment that

has for the most part shaped the way we work, read and receive our infor-mation. According to JSOnline.com, in an article titled “Digital Textbooks Scroll Schools into New Era” by Amy Hetzner, “Digital textbooks not only provide the print text that generations of students and teachers have relied on, they also open the possibilities of more audio, visual and interactive presentations of information.”

Far more than standard textbooks, digital books provide a new medium of innovative ways to interact and learn. They are engaging, enhance in-teractive learning, revamp traditional reading standards and have the po-tential to do things that old-fashioned textbooks can’t. Bringing texts onto an electronic platform renders an op-portunity to make the book as collec-tive as the classroom. When it comes to reading, I consider our generation fortunate because the written word has become more accessible and in-novative than ever before.

Reviews Arts & Entertainment takes a detour with new movies, classic graphic novels and an indie-rock showcase

Amanda Seyfried stars in the re-telling of the classic children’s story

Film Red Riding Hood

Amanda Seyfried plays a young woman torn between two men – a wealthy blond who is the “suffer-in-silence” type and another passionate, hard-working, dark-haired, wolf-like man. However, soon all characters in the small village are plagued by paranor-mal events.

Does the Twilight Saga come to mind? It should. The prem-ise for both of these films is the same, but instead of Team Ed-ward or Jacob, it’s Team Henry or Peter.

Catherine Hardwicke, the director of Red Riding Hood, is the same director of the first Twilight movie. Both of these films have the Hardwicke style of dream-like, sweeping, overhead camera movements. When watching Red Riding Hood, you feel like you’re watching Twilight. The father figure is even played by Billy Burke, who also plays Bella Swan’s father in the Twilight Saga.

If you hated Twilight, steer clear of this movie. It may not be as cheesy as the saga, but it certainly has the same formula for a girly, fantasy flick. This movie is Twilight blended with A Knight’s Tale (2001), with its impromptu modern dance sequence, and a little bit of Dracula (1993), with the help of actor Gary Oldman.

One thing that sets this film apart is the mystery that the audience is trying to solve along with the film’s pro-tagonist: Who is the werewolf? The puzzle is what re-deems Red Riding Hood from being just another Gothic, coming-of-age chick flick.

As a result, a Crucible-like witch hunt occurs through-out the movie. Oldman’s character becomes the villain as he searches the village for the beast, but subsequently confuses the audience as to whom the werewolf is and whom the audience should be rooting for.

The costumes and sets are done extremely well. There is an interesting thorn motif that you can look for throughout the movie. It unifies each location in the film and gives a sense of foreboding and tension. Aesthetically, the film is pure eye candy. That being said, a majority of the characters are unrealistic and overly attractive, which at times seems a bit silly in the story.

The music is unique in that it stays away from any trace of period-appropriate ambiance, but rather shys toward a more contemporary, indie mood. This could be off-putting for some, but for others it may make the movie more relatable.

Overall, this is what I call a background movie. The concept is the same as background music—you might consider owning a copy for yourself, but only to play when you’re chatting with company, doing housework or trying to fall asleep.

Watchmen: classic graphic novel

RYAN LASKODIDaily TitanJENELLE RENSCH

Daily Titan

A trio of indie rock bands clad in tight, skinny jeans and vintage jack-ets performed at the Continental Room in downtown Fullerton Mon-day night.

Long bangs swept across band members’ faces while they performed psychedelic-inspired music for eager fans.

Energetic for a weeknight, red-vested bartenders poured drinks and chatted amicably to patrons through-out the evening.

After entering the bar, audi-ence members were greeted with dim lights and cozy leath-er booths that were assigned a service button labeled “pousser pour le,” which means “push for” in French.

Wrought iron dividers pro-vided elegantly private booths, while red light bulbs enhanced an already sen-sual atmosphere.

Young women donned popular vintage-inspired outfits and pored over their cell phones in between performances, tweeting and updat-ing Facebook statuses about the latest and greatest at the show.

The first band to take the stage was Rosa Venus, a set of five strapping young men from Fontana.

The Natives pulled out of the performance only three hours prior to the show, but Rosa Venus made up for the absence by providing Arctic Monkey-inspired songs with a screeching guitar and screaming singer. By the time their 40-minute set was over, the PA system was beg-

ging for a break. Popular in the downtown Pomona

area and well known throughout the Inland Empire, Nature’s Son from Rancho Cucamonga was welcomed at the Continental Room with open arms following Rosa Venus.

Quite possibly the most popular band of the evening, the applause was glass rattling after their set.

The band sang everything a girl would want to hear from a guy in skinny jeans.

The lyrics, “Don’t you understand that I need you? Girl can you give me a smile?” were sung to a rhyth-mic background of drums and guitar solos.

The last and final band of the eve-ning was the Telle Eyed Specs, whose name is most likely inspired by the thick glasses worn by one of the band members.

The self-man-aged noise band made its mark in the industry through a mod-ern-microphone technique. As recent graduates of the School for Audio and Engi-neering in LA, the dedicated artists blow off many well-pay-ing jobs to per-form at night-clubs for the experience and potential expan-sion of their fan base.

The Telle Eyed Specs were the most entertaining to watch and listen to because of the complexities and depth in the lead singer’s vocal cords.

At first it sounded like muffled screaming and moaning, but after a while audience members could make out words. The best part of this band is their psychedelic rock inspirations that take fans straight back to 1960s with bands like The Doors and The Byrds.

At the end of the night, many ears were numb from the lengthy gui-tar solos and noisy vocals, however, audience members were left with a newfound appreciation for indie rock.

FRANCES LEEDaily Titan

In honor of Spring Break, the Daily Titan editors share their favorite Spring Break song and hang-out spot.

Editor’s Choice

Think of the word “superhero.” What image comes to mind? For most of us, it would probably be a guy in spandex tights who goes fighting bad guys in the name of truth and justice.

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ graphic novel Watchmen takes the idea of the superhero story and does something unique. It does have its faults, but it is inventive, full of memorable characters and scenes, and overall is just a fantas-tic book.

The story of Watchmen is a fairly tough one to describe, mainly be-cause there is so much story going on. It’s hard to simply reduce the plot into one or two paragraphs. The basic idea is that it takes place during the 1980s, and America is on the brink of war with Russia. An outlaw vigilante named Ror-schach suspects a plot to eliminate all former vigilantes and begins his own investigation into this dark, twisted world.

The artwork by artist Dave Gib-bons is very good. The colors are nice, and the characters are drawn well. Everything has a distinct look to it.

Gibbons beautifully uses the right amount of space in each panel on the page. Rarely does it feel like a panel could have been cut down or expanded. This helps make the layout of the comic look great.

But what good is the artwork without a good story to accompany it? And a good story it is. Moore tells the story in a non-linear style with many of the scenes being flashbacks from other characters. It never feels confusing because each scene manages to put together a little piece of this puzzle. It reads at a comfortable pace.

Another thing that makes this story unique is how we learn about many of the characters themselves. Many of those flashback scenes happen to be an exposition where we learn more about the character. The second chapter, for example, is mainly made up of all flashbacks from different characters, and the reader gets to learn what the char-acter The Comedian was like. The fourth chapter is all an exposition about the character Doctor Man-hattan.

Moore’s dialogue is excellent. Every character is written in a distinct style and fits perfectly for them.

One complaint about the

novel is that a lot of the characters have no depth to them. The main exception to this rule is Rorschach. The way this character is written certainly gives the most depth. Doctor Manhattan is a pretty well-developed character as well, but the rest aren’t as developed. The char-acter who turns out to be the main villain, for example, isn’t featured much in the story at all.

Overall, Watchmen is a flawed graphic novel, but it is still very good. It’s a unique and different take on heroes and definitely worth reading. It’s recommended both for graphic novel fans and for anybody interested in reading something different.

Celebrities face scandal

Leaked photos cause celebrity headaches

SPRING BREAK: ON A BUDGET

If you are totally broke this com-ing break, there is always the option of cruising your local mall.

Get a group of friends together and just walk around and window shop at different stores.

It is still possible to have a lot of fun without buying anything when you go to the mall.

Sometimes just browsing the stores will remind you that you have that same “little black dress” in your closet.

Try on crazy clothes in different stores or go to the pet store. The See’s Candy store also offers free samples to those who go in. Come on, who doesn’t love chocolate?

A couple of malls that would be very fun to visit are South Coast Plaza, Brea, Fashion Is-land, the Block at Orange or d o w n t o w n Fullerton.

Take a break from the usual t e l e v i s i o n sitcom and visit a discount movie theater. The prices range from about $1.50 to $3, depending on the theater. Brea 5 Cinemas costs $3 during the day and is only $3.50 in the evening.

They play movies that have been out for a few months, but for the same price as a DVD, why not see it in the theater with the great sights and sounds that go with it.

It is a very popular trend in Southern California, especially since people are trying to stay within their budget.

Thought that drive-in movies were gone for good? Think again. The Van Buren Drive-in Theatre offers six of the latest movies. The best part is that it is only $5 for two movies.

It is a very cheap way to see a movie, in this case two, but be sure to stay in your car.

“I love to go to the drive-in! It makes me think of the ‘50s like in the movie Grease,” says Kayla Young, 23, a history major.

Most of us do not have $100 or more to blow on a day at an amuse-ment park.

However, just because you may not be able to afford a day with Mickey, there are other options.

Downtown Disney has cool res-taurants, music and shops. Spend an evening down there with friends or go on a date.

One really cool thing to do is park at Downtown Disney and walk up to the parking structure to watch the firework show.

“Disneyland can be too expensive for lots of people these days, so I like to just hang out at Downtown Disney with friends,” says Matt En-kosky, 27.

Get a cookbook. You don’t always have to go out to eat in order to have a great meal.

Try hosting a dinner party at your house. Cut out different recipes

from maga-zines or find some online and make your favorite dish.

Be creative and give it a theme. Can-cun anyone? Knock your-self out and decorate the

place. If you’re not entertaining yourself as well as your friends, why bother?

Bike riding is always fun wherever you go. If you have a bike, try going down to the beach and cruise along the sidewalk. It is very relaxing to just cruise by as the sun goes down.

Or try another new trend that’s catching on in Orange County – mountain bike trail riding.

Fullerton has a great trail called the Fullerton Loop located at Har-bor Boulevard and Berkeley Avenue.

According to mountain bike en-thusiast Austin Locke, “The loop is a great place to see parts of Fullerton you didn’t even know existed. There is awesome scenery and challeng-ing as well as easy parts to the trails. People can either ride their bike or walk.”

This spring just might be that year where Southern California locals re-discover the many activities and ad-ventures in their own backyard.


As celebrities continue to leak nude photos, many fans are left won-dering whether they’re intentional or are just looking for some publicity.

Stars like Chris Brown and Van-essa Hudgens feel the pressures of be-ing accused of exploiting themselves in order to enhance their careers.

Earlier this month nude photos of the R&B singer Chris Brown and actress Vanessa Hudgens surfaced on the Internet, exposing a full-frontal snapshot of their bodies for the en-tire world to see.

Images of Brown were first leaked on the website WorldStarHipHop.com, allegedly by his former girl-friend.

Brown originally had sent those stripped images to the former girl-friend who in turn leaked them for publicity.

Brown’s next album F.A.M.E re-leased Tuesday, leading rumors to circulate that the leaked photos were merely a publicity stunt.

In Big Boy’s morning show on Power 106 in Los Angeles, a frustrat-ed Chris Breezy addressed the images leaked as not having been a stunt.

When asked on air for whom the explicit snapshots were intended to be shown to, Brown quickly re-sponded, “definitely a girl.”

“I feel like people just want to bring him down because he is tal-ented,” said Persia Sharifat, a senior psychology major.

“They just want to ruin his career because he’s still successful despite what happened to him in the past,” Sharifat said.

In an article in MTV News Friday, the artist opened up and expressed his true emotions on the graphic leaked photos.

“Let me be honest with you. I didn’t want to put no pictures out; that’s not my intention. A lot of peo-ple were saying, ‘Yo, he leaked the

pictures, he was trying to get promo-tion,’” the R&B singer said.

For Brown, being recognized as a talented artist is his number one pri-ority.

“For me, I was always a singer, so unless I’m planning on trying to do porn, I don’t think I’d want to just leak my wang out to the world before my album comes out,” Brown said.

Unlike Brown, Vanessa Hudgens, who has always maintained a clean image despite her previous scandals, was upset and disappointed when

a set of the 2007 nude photos were leaked earlier this month.

Nude photos of Vanessa Hudgens, which were first released in 2007, then in 2009 and now again in 2011, have reportedly been exposed to the public right around the time of her upcoming movies.

Her current explicit photos have been leaked right before the release of her latest movie Beastly and her upcoming film Sucker Punch. Stu-dents believe the timing of the leaked images was set up to make the ac-

cused look guilty.“You look at people like Kim

Kardashian who got famous for her ‘leaked’ video, then there’s the people who are already famous who have leaked photos or videos, and it’s meant to damage their careers,” said Omeed Emami, a junior business major.

In an article in Allure magazine, Hudgens addressed how stressful it is and how she hoped people will learn from her situation and her mistakes.

“It’s so aggravating and frustrat-ing, and whenever anybody asks me, ‘Would I do nudity in a film?’ if I say it’s something I’m not comfortable with, they’re like ‘Bullshit, you’ve al-ready done it,’” said Hudgens.

Despite rumors speculating that Brown and Hudgens are exposing themselves to the public for promo-tion of their current projects, stu-dents believe that any press is good press.

“It’s just a stunt to give them bad publicity, but in reality all public-ity is good publicity in every way,” Emami said. “This could be and probably will be spun to benefit both of them.”

7

Aries (March 21-April 19) Listen deeply to gain insight into your partner’s situation. Take a deep breath before any action, and consider the impact. You can make a difference here.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Team up with a special per-son. Challenge yourself to get the job done and to feel good about it. Creative competition helps get things rolling.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) You find yourself bouncing off the walls, until you accept the challenge. You have to figure out the question before you can provide a rea-sonable answer.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Your way is not the only way. You could become enmeshed in trying to prove some-thing. Or you could allow imagination to flow directly into your project.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) There’s a lot to accomplish today, and everything you need is at hand. Slow down. You discover you get more done that way, and then the team can keep up with you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Focus on a repair or other project. A neighbor has the tools and expertise. Later, you can invite him to a treat. Once it’s done, you can quit obsessing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Ideas fly as you assess consid-erations. You don’t want to stick to basics, yet it’s the most direct path to success. Try the practical solution first.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today you see the value of recent efforts. Stress eases when you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Take care with written communica-tions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Exercise caution when repairing something at home. Don’t let the glue drip; it might be really hard to clean later. Sandpaper can be a blessing and a curse.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today’s all about checking stuff off your list. Someone else has a list too. If you work separately, you get more accomplished. Meet to share results.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use your imagination to ensure independence. An older person would take you along on their journey, if you let them. Participate together, on your terms.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Grasp a clear proposal, at least in your mind. Then research details to add con-vincing arguments. Send it off to the appropriate places early in the afternoon.

Coming off a 6-1 loss to Texas State Wednesday, Cal State Fullerton wom-en’s tennis almost rallied back to claim the team victory, but lost some crucial third sets to hold the Titans back from snapping their losing streak.

The Titans lost 5-2 to the Rams Fri-day at Titan Courts. Sophomores Tif-fany Mai and Monica Rodriguez won their doubles match for the Titans, but the Rams won the other two doubles matches to earn the first point of dual.

In the singles matches freshman Morgan McIntosh and Mai both beat the Rams’ top players, but proved too much for the injury-plagued Titans.

Mai beat Rams’ senior Caitlin Fluegge 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 in the featured singles match of the day.

“It went well today, emotionally-wise I was up and happy about that. She was a steady player and it was a tough match for me, which meant a lot more work for me,” said Mai.

In the No. 2 singles match McIn-tosh dominated junior Tori Arneson in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, for the win.

“It was a long match with long points, and I had to stay fighting the

whole time. I kept the ball deep and played aggressive when I had the op-portunity,” said McIntosh.

Mai and McIntosh were victori-ous in their matches, but the Rams won the four other singles matches to increase their lead by three from the doubles matches and take the 5-2 team win.

Rodriguez went up the first set in her singles match but could not main-tain the lead and dropped the match 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.

Sandford also pushed her opponent to three sets but ended up losing 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.

“I think it went well today, but she hit the ball with heavy topspin and got me out of my comfort zone. Next time I’ll have more patience,” said Sandford.

The Titans did win the bigger matches of the day, but the Rams proved too much for the Titans losing streak to six matches in a row.

With the loss, the Titans dropped to 3-14 overall for the season. The Titans have been getting consistent play and some impressive wins from Mai and McIntosh lately, but the long third sets and doubles losses have been holding them back as a team.

The Titans compete next against Eastern Washington today at 2 p.m. at Titan Courts.

Ramirez smacked the ball far down the field between second and third, bringing home Pedroza and Trajano, who slid across home plate just in time.

Titan Head Coach Dave Serrano was pleased with his team.

“I thought we came out with a dif-ferent mentality tonight,” said Serrano. “I thought we did a great job taking the game to (ASU) and not letting them get settled in.”

Sun Devils’ pitcher Jake Barrett struggled in the first three innings, throwing several balls outside the box.

Thomas scored after sophomore center fielder Austin Kingsolver popped the ball to left field, upping the lead to 3-1.

At the top of the fourth, Sun Devil Matt Newman bunted the ball, which caused redshirt freshman catcher Jared Deacon to throw out Zach Wilson at second.

Following that play, freshman out-fielder Michael Lorenzen, batting .353, struck a double with a fast grounder in the bottom half of the inning.

The Titans were able to top off the inning when Thomas ran home, put-ting the Titans up 7-1, totaling four runs in the inning for CSUF.

Floethe struck out right fielder Andy Workman, who went 0 for 4 on the night.

Titan senior righty Ryan Ackland came in to relieve Floethe’s spot after one out in the same inning.

Ackland was lucky enough to stop the bleeding and only allowed two hits and one run across the plate to end the eighth, 7-3, Titans.

In the ninth, Ramirez took over on the mound, and four batters and one hit later, he locked up the game for the Titans.

“Our coaching staff preaches that a good first baseman turns a good infield great,” said Ramirez. “So I just try to get my team the best opportunity over there to work on my defense to make sure when we get a ground ball it’s a for sure out.”

Game time is set for today at 2 p.m. at Goodwin Field against Arizona State for the wrap-up of the DeMarini West Coast Challenge.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s la-crosse team battled at home against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Sun-day in gusty winds and freezing tem-peratures to suffer a close loss of 10-7.

Within the first half of the game, the Rebels had already scored six of their 10 goals while the Titans scored a mea-ger two.

Titan freshman center Hayleigh Garlow scored the first goal of the game on a free-position shot when the opponent was offsides.

One minute before halftime, Josie Hudspeth picked up the ball from a quick turnover and dumped it to ju-nior attack wing Nicole Schmutter-mair for an attempt on goal but the shot was too high and missed. Just be-

fore the whistle was blown, freshman defensive wing Ciara Looney scored unassisted, leaving the Titans trailing 7-2 at halftime.

“We came out pretty strong during the first half; we wanted to win,” said Tammy Lam senior attack wing. “Last year when we played UNLV it was pretty rough for us, but now we have a stronger group so we thought we had a pretty good chance to win or at least keep it a close game.”

The Titans had played UC San Marcos the day before and won by an overwhelming amount of 13-4, leaving a sense of confidence in the team.

During the second half, the Titans rarely let the ball get out of their defen-sive zone and really began pressuring the Rebels, attacking with aggression.

“We really rallied since we didn’t start off that great,” said Danni Wil-lis freshman defensive wing. “I think we all came together and focused and owned it.”

Looney scored the first goal after halftime on a free-position shot from a foul check to the body. The Rebels ral-

lied around Looney knowing she was a powerful force for the Titans.

Garlow, the team’s president, shot and scored another goal, closing in on the score, 7-4.

“I wish we played better in the first half because we were just not on it,” said Garlow. “UNLV started fall-ing apart toward the end and turning mean, yelling at each other and us.”

The frustrated Rebels attacked with a brute force injuring Titan Alyssa An-drade with a dangerous check.

Garlow tried closing the gap with a fast break downfield, but the Rebels continued forcing Titan turnovers.

“We shut down their flow when they tried to come in our zone, and our midfielders really stepped it up,” Willis said.

The Titans tightened their defense, but in the final minutes UNLV scored their 10th goal.

After the game Sunday, the Titans are 3-6. The Titans’ final regular sea-son game is April 9 against Santa Bar-bara City College at El Dorado High School at 2 p.m.
