Last year, Cal State Fuller- ton’s Concert Under the Stars returned with a bang. Per- formers like alumna Kirsten Vangsness, best known for her role as Garcia on the show Criminal Minds, en- tertained the thousands in at- tendance. The show, entitled I Believe in Music, raised an estimated $30,000 for student scholarships and programs. This year, the program hopes to continue build- ing momentum. The concert will take place this Satur- day with the theme “All that Jazz.” The program will fol- low jazz throughout the ages, from swing to hip hop. Sim- ilar to last year, the program will include performances by CSUF faculty, alumni and students. The headliner for this year’s program is facul- ty member Bill Cunliffe, a Grammy Award-winning arranger, jazz pianist and composer. Cunliffe is a five-time Grammy nominee. His most recent nomination came in the Best Instrumental Com- position category. In 2009, he won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrange- ment for his piece West Side Story Medley . Concert-go- ers will get the chance to hear the piece during the performance. Cunliffe is the director of the CSUF Jazz Orches- tra, Jazz Big Band and Latin Ensemble. The Jazz Orchestra is re- leasing an album on Oct.1 that features music by both the Jazz Big Band and Lat- in Ensemble. Concert-goers will have the opportunity to buy a copy of the album at the event before the official release. R&B singer Freda Payne is also featured on the album. Payne, who has worked with Cunliffe before, performed her hit song Band of Gold on the record, something she hadn’t done in 42 years . Cunliffe believes the show will be better than last year’s. He has worked with the per- formers before and believes that everyone, whether they are jazz fans or not, will have a good time. “Oh it’s going to be better this year. We’ve got pretty much a full orchestra, we’ve got a jazz band, string sec- tion, plus a symphony and french horns. And we’ve got a bunch of really great sing- ers and we’ve got dancers,” Cunliffe said. Cunliffe chose all of the performers himself.

Last year, Cal State Fuller-ton’s Concert Under the Stars returned with a bang. Per-formers like alumna Kirsten Vangsness, best known for her role as Garcia on the show Criminal Minds, en-tertained the thousands in at-tendance. The show, entitled I Believe in Music, raised an estimated $30,000 for student scholarships and programs.

This year, the program hopes to continue build-ing momentum. The concert will take place this Satur-day with the theme “All that Jazz.” The program will fol-low jazz throughout the ages, from swing to hip hop. Sim-ilar to last year, the program

will include performances by CSUF faculty, alumni and students.

The headliner for this year’s program is facul-ty member Bill Cunliffe, a Grammy Award-winning arranger, jazz pianist and composer.

Cunliffe is a five-time Grammy nominee. His most recent nomination came in the Best Instrumental Com-position category. In 2009, he won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrange-ment for his piece West Side Story Medley. Concert-go-ers will get the chance to hear the piece during the performance.

Cunliffe is the director of the CSUF Jazz Orches-tra, Jazz Big Band and Latin

Ensemble.The Jazz Orchestra is re-

leasing an album on Oct.1 that features music by both the Jazz Big Band and Lat-in Ensemble. Concert-goers will have the opportunity to buy a copy of the album at the event before the official release.

R&B singer Freda Payne is also featured on the album. Payne, who has worked with Cunliffe before, performed her hit song Band of Gold on the record, something she hadn’t done in 42 years .

Cunliffe believes the show will be better than last year’s. He has worked with the per-formers before and believes that everyone, whether they are jazz fans or not, will have a good time.

About 1,000 gallons of water leaked from an un-derground chilled water line beneath the bridge connecting McCarthy Hall and Clayes Performing

Arts Center last week, ac-cording to Cal State Ful-lerton officials.

It is estimated that the leak will cost roughly $10,000 to fix.

Chilled water is distrib-uted around campus from the two 1,310 ton absorp-tion chillers in the CSUF Central Plant to air con-ditioning units around campus.

Facilities Operations be-gan work to repair the leak Friday. The leak has been contained, but further work is required to completely repair the water line. In or-der to complete the repairs, the chilled water system will need to be briefly shut down at a time which will not affect classes.

Operations workers no-ticed water in the tunnel system near the central plant.

The incident is not con-nected to the estimated $150 million in deferred maintenance at CSUF.

The line was 10 years old and within its expect-ed life cycle. Its failure is considered an anomaly, of-ficials said.

Water line repair underway

Campus centers to relocate

This semester, multi-ple student organizations will relocate as a result of a high demand for space and in an effort to be more accessible to students and staff.

The University Honors Center, President’s Schol-ars, Guardian Scholars, Future Scholars and the Academic Senate will all be moving from their cur-rent locations to new spac-es to make better use of campus space.

The move will come with a $470,000 price tag for the new Honors and Schol-ars center as well as recon-figuration of space for the Academic Senate.

This move means that the University Honors Cen-ter, which has been in the library since 1999 when it opened, will now have to share a space.

The center has had its own location since it was created and the move to the back of the library has raised concerns about accessibility.

Joyce Kropacek, the Of-fice Manager of the Uni-versity Honors, is worried that being in a smaller, less visible space will make it more difficult for students to access the center.

Another concern she has is that the new space will not be large enough for all of the students who cur-rently come in to collabo-rate with friends, study and use the computers.

“We’re put all the way in the back right now,” Kro-pacek said. “Everybody is in the front, we’re way in the back.”

The Academic Senate, currently located in McCa-rthy Hall 143, will move to the current location of the University Honors Center.

Moving the Academ-ic Senate to the library will provide more space for new staff as well as a place for the senate com-mittee to meet, said Glad-ys Maldoon, the executive assistant to the Provost. Once the Academic Sen-ate vacates McCarthy Hall, it will become the Faculty Affairs and Records work room.

Currently, Honors and Scholars resources are lo-cated throughout campus.

The University Hon-ors Center is located in room 120 in Pollak Library North, Guardian Schol-ars in the TitanShops and Presidents Scholars in Mc-Carthy Hall Room 103.

The University Honors Center will move to the south side of the library across from the circulation desk.

West Nile Virus hits county

OC judge censured for sex

American Apparel settles suit

DTBRIEFS

- BRITTANEY CARPENTER

- HEATHER MYERS

- HEATHER MYERS

West Nile Virus continues to spread throughout Orange County, with at least 91 people infected as of last week, accord-ing to the Orange County Register.

West Nile Virus has caused three deaths this summer, with 80 percent of tested mosquitoes found to be infected with the virus. The sickness stems from infected birds that mosqui-toes bite before bit-ing humans.

The hardest-hit neighborhoods will be sprayed with pes-ticide at least twice a week, and residents are warned to stay indoors for at least 30 minutes after the spraying.

Orange County Su-perior Court Judge Scott Steiner is being censured for having sex in his chambers on multiple occasions with two former law students, according to the Orange County Register.

The judge was elected to the Su-perior Court bench in 2010. Allegations against Steiner came to light in 2013, but an investigation concluded with no charges being filed.

Steiner has also been disciplined by the California Com-mission for Judi-cial Performance for multiple infractions, including trying to help one of his sex partners get a job at the Orange Coun-ty District Attorney’s office. It is unclear whether Steiner will run again when his term expires in 2017.

American Appar-el has agreed to pay $1 million to set-tle a lawsuit over the death of an em-ployee, according to the Los Angeles Times. The employ-ee, Tuan Phan, died due to a knitting ma-chine accident at the store’s Garden Grove facility.

The retailer failed to lock the machine which was undergo-ing maintenance at the time, according to the Orange Coun-ty District Attorney’s office. The machine restarted when Phan entered the knitting cage, killing him.

American Appar-el settled the suit to avoid paying litiga-tion costs, but says it does not believe any safety laws were violated.

Man swings at professor

University Police is seek-ing information on a man who swung and spat at a professor in the Clayes Performing Arts Center on Aug. 29.

Eyewitnesses described the unidentified suspect as a 6-foot-1-inch to 6-foot-3-inch

male of Asian descent in his late 20s, of medium build, with black-rimmed glasses and a long, brown ponytail.

The man was banging items near Performing Arts Room 139 when two pro-fessors went to investigate the noise.

He confronted one male professor and challenged him to a fight. The man attempted to punch the professor, but did not hit him.

Following the confronta-tion, the man entered an of-fice and proceeded to knock items off a desk.

He fled CPAC toward the Visual Arts building, then ran across Nutwood Avenue, heading south of campus.

He has not been identified and there is no evidence that he is a student.

Contact University Police at (657) 278-2515 with any in-formation on the incident.

Two adjacent vending ma-chines were vandalized at around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, the third and fourth instances of vending machine vandalism in two weeks. University Po-lice believe the same individ-ual or individuals vandalized

all of the machines. The recently-vandalized

machines are located outside of College Park. One, a Pepsi machine, showed damage to the top of the face of the ma-chine and the other, a snack vending machine, had the outer layer of glass broken. The inner layer of glass was not damaged. Nothing ap-peared to have been stolen.

Two very similar cases of vandalism occurred on Aug. 24. A machine outside

of the Humanities Building and another outside Langs-dorf Hall were also dam-aged in the same way—one layer of glass was broken and nothing was stolen.

The cases are still under investigation and no sus-pects have been identified, according to University Police.

Information on the van-dalism can be reported to University Police at (657) 278-2515.

CYNTHIA WASHICKODaily Titan

Six California props to prepare yourself for this election season

Proposition 1: Water Quality, Supply, and Infra-Structure Improvement Act of 2014

This act would authorize $7.12 billion in general obli-gation bonds for various wa-ter-related infrastructure im-provements. Improvements would include water recycling, advanced water treatment technology and the implemen-tation of groundwater storage systems. Gov. Jerry Brown has pushed for a similar bond with a smaller price tag, saying the current bond has unreasonably high costs, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Proposition 2: Rainy Day Budget Stabilization Fund Act

An amendment to the Cali-fornia constitution that would change previously-estab-lished requirements for Cali-fornia’s rainy day fund. If the ballot measure gets approval from voters, the state control-ler would have to deposit 1.5 percent of general revenues gained each year into the rainy day fund. The bill does call for smaller local reserves for school districts.

Half of these revenues would be used to pay off the state’s existing debts and the other half would be used in case of fiscal emergencies in which the state’s spending must exceed what’s allotted in its normal budget. Support-ers have backed it as a fiscal-ly responsible approach to the state’s finances on the part of state legislators, while critics

have said that the resulting cuts in education could harm students.

Proposition 45: The Pub-lic Notice Required for In-surance Company Rates Initiative

Added to the ballot by pe-tition, Prop 45 would require that a state insurance com-missioner review an insurance company’s decision to raise its coverage rates. The commis-sioner would have the power to approve or deny the pro-posed hike.

Critics of the initiative claim that it will increase gov-ernment bureaucracy by es-tablishing a new commission in Sacramento. Advocates, however, say it will increase transparency for insurance companies.

Proposition 46: Drug and Alcohol Testing of Doc-tors, Medical Negligence Lawsuits

Under this initiative, doctors would be required to be drug tested and health practitioners would be required to check a prescription drug history data-base before prescribing certain medications. It also increases the $250,000 pain and suffer-ing cap to $1.1 million in med-ical negligence lawsuits and would increase that rate on a yearly basis for inflation. The potential cost to the state could run into the tens of millions.

Proponents of the initia-tive have said it will save lives by reducing the number of drug-addicted doctors and pa-tients, while critics say it will increase the likelihood of un-necessary medical malprac-tice lawsuits.

Proposition 47: Reduced Penalties for Some Crimes Initiative

Prop 47 would require a misdemeanor sentence rath-er than a felony for crimes that are “non-serious, nonvio-lent,” specifically with regard to some drug and property offenses.

Critics have cited that it could result in a high volume of individuals being released from prisons and that it would make offenses like possessing date rape drugs lesser crimes. Advocates have said it could save hundreds of millions of dollars each year, money that could be applied to preventing school truancy and dropouts.

Proposition 48: Indi-an Gaming Compacts Referendum

The only referendum on the ballot this Novem-ber, Prop 48 would facili-tate an agreement between the State of California and North Fork Rancheria tribe of Mono Indians and the Wi-yot tribe. The North Fork would be able to build a ca-sino in Madera County, but would have to pay the state approximately $10 million over a 20-year period, in ad-dition to a one-time payment between $16 million and $35 million to local and munici-pal entities.

Advocates said the casi-no could create increased revenue for state and lo-cal governments in the long run, but critics contend that the casino could bring in-creased crime and pollution to the area in Madera County where it will be located.

Students to commemorate Sept. 11

The victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks will be honored by the Cal State Fullerton College Republi-cans club Thursday morn-ing on the Titan Recreation Center lawn. This will be the second 9/11 memorial the College Republicans have hosted.

English Professor Jan-et Eyring, the organization’s advisor, is proud of the ini-tiative that the students have taken.

“They are carrying a banner that 35,000 people should be behind,” Eyring said. “It’s on a level that im-pacted the whole nation, and to forget that and not

give it due attention is very irresponsible.”

The memorial is a public event open to the community. Guest speakers include U.S. Congressional Candidate Arturo Alas (R - San Gabriel Valley), U.S. Marine Martin Zapien, Fullerton Mayor Pro Tem Greg Sebourn and As-sociated Students, Inc. Pres-ident Harpreet Bath.

Donations will be collect-ed for the nonprofit veterans service organization Wound-ed Warrior Project (WWP) at Thursday’s event.

The club will be distrib-uting flags at the event, each with a 9/11 victim’s name inscribed on it. The flags are then placed on the SRC lawn.

While the College Repub-licans have stronger con-nections to other Republi-can groups, they reach out to other parties and politi-cal affiliations for an event as important as this 9/11 memorial, said College Re-publicans President Meagan Mathieson, a political sci-ence student.

Mathieson hopes that the event Thursday will remind those attending of the impor-tance of remembering 9/11.

“Following the attacks, the big thing that went around was ‘Never Forget,’” she said. “I feel like in recent years that you don’t hear people saying that anymore

... I want to remind peo-ple that this is something that we should never for-get, that we should always honor these people, that we should always have a day of remembrance.”

Eyring agreed that under-standing and remembering the significance of the 2001

terror attacks may avoid a repetition of this tragedy.

For more details regard-ing the event, Mathieson’s contact information can be found on the 9/11 memorial flyers distributed throughout the campus, and also on the announcement page of the student and faculty portal.

The LOUD silence exhi-bition, currently located at the Grand Central Art Cen-ter, has created a way to ex-plore the idea that the deaf world might not be as silent as many would assume.

As a Ph.D. student in art history at UC San Diego, Amanda Cachia is proud to curate an exhibition such

as this one that is close to her heart and the heart of her research. Her explo-ration of art over the last three to four years has al-ways landed her at the in-tersection of disability and contemporary art.

The focus of her re-cent studies has been what sound and silence mean for individual artists that might have different hear-ing capacities.

The show focuses on the artwork of artists Shary Boyle, Darrin Martin, Ali-son O’Daniel and Christine

Sun Kim. Each artist has a dif-

ferent hearing capacity and different experiences with sound, and their art-work deepens in richness as they explore the world of silence, according to Cachia.

“The goal is to sort of explore the myth that the deaf world is a silent world. I am really hoping that translates to people when they see the show,” Cachia said.

Each piece of artwork is meant to convey a new

perspective for the au-dience. Boyle’s featured film installation, Silent Dedication, is an emotive example.

The film depicts a wom-an communicating in American sign language and was created in order for her to explore what the idea of silence actually means.

Boyle’s piece demon-strates that silence is not empty nor a vacuum, in-stead it can be a place of imagination and a place that all individuals can

relate to because it is our own internal world, ac-cording to Cachia.

Silent Dedication also explores the concept that the act of silencing can be a violent act. Cachia uses the example that society might silence the voices of mar-ginalized communities.

The gallery is filled with many more pieces of art-work, including prints, drawings, videos and au-dio works used to express the variety of relationships with sound and the con-cepts these artists wish to

share with the world.The exhibition will end

on Dec. 6 at the Santa Ana location. However, accord-ing to Cachia, the exhibi-tion has been approved for a tour.

The Grand Central Art Center’s director, John Spiak, has agreed to take the show to Cachia’s Uni-versity, UCSD, in the winter.

LOUD silence will open again at the gallery@cal-it2 at the UCSD campus on Jan. 22, 2015 and will run until March 13, 2015.

Other performers include alumni Tom Ranier, Dawn Bishop, Flavio Apro and Joey De Leon.

The CSUF Jazz Singers will also take the stage, as will a team of dancers un-der the guidance of fac-ulty member Macarena Gandarillas.

Audience members will also get to see a famil-iar face on stage as Presi-dent Mildred García joins in on the fun during the performance.

Concert Under the Stars has been CSUF’s signature fall fundraiser for 25 years, despite the three year hi-atus between 2009 and 2012.

The goal of the concert

is to further extend CSUF’s reach in Orange County and throughout Southern California. Funds from the event go to student scholar-ships and programs.

“If people don’t like jazz they should come anyways because they’re gonna like it, because it’s really fun,” Cunliffe said. “Jazz is re-ally fun music to listen to and to hear, and the danc-ing is gonna be awesome. They’re gonna love the dancing. Its like Dancing with the Stars but with bet-ter music.”

Gates open at 5 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Reserved seating is cur-rently sold out, but free lawn seating is available for all who wish to attend.

While most students are shuffling back in the halls of Cal State Fullerton, those in the Department of The-atre and Dance are getting straight to work preparing their fall season shows.

As usual, this semester features a mix of comedies and dramas from the clas-sics and contemporaries.

This season opens with Hearts Like Fists by Adam Szymkowicz.

Directed by Oanh Nguy-

en, this superhero comedy tells the story of a group of masked crimefighters at-tempting to stop the evil Doctor X from spreading his deadly serum to all the lovers in town.

This theatrical com-ic book parody explores themes of the dangers and fears of pursuing love, and opens on Sept. 26 in the Hallberg Theatre.

The laughter continues throughout the beginning

of the semester with Is He Dead?, a play adapted by David Ives from a rare Mark Twain play of the same title.

This is the second Ives adaption to be produced this year after last semes-ter’s comedy The School For Lies.

Set in Paris in 1846, Is He Dead? is the story of a love-stricken paint-er in debt to a crooked art dealer.

He devises a plan to fake his own death in order to make his paintings sell more so he can settle his debt and win the girl of his dreams.

The adaption is direct-ed by Joseph Arnold, Ph.D and will open on Oct. 10 in the Young Theatre.

Later in October, dancers take the stage in Fall Dance Theatre.

The show is a “brave ad-venture in story-telling, dreams, desires, lyricism, love and loss,” as stated on the Department of Theatre and Dance website.

The show is coordinated by Gladys Kares and will open in the Little Theatre on Oct. 23.

The fall season takes a historical turn with The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee.

The historical drama is directed by Mark Ramont, who also directed last se-mester’s And Then There

Were None.Henry David Thoreau

believed that “If the law is of such a nature that it re-quires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law.”

He put this belief into ac-tion by refusing to pay tax-es in protest of America’s involvement in the Mexican War, which landed the au-thor a night in jail.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail opens on Nov. 7 in the Young Theatre.

This season’s musical is the Tony Award-win-ning Broadway classic Kiss Me, Kate, directed

by Jeremy Lewis and Eve Himmelheber.

Lewis and Himmelheber directed last semester’s The School For Lies and Legal-ly Blonde, The Musical.

Kiss Me, Kate is the story of two divorced performers who end up working togeth-er in a Shakespeare-based musical.

The show features music and lyrics by Cole Porter and opens in the Little The-atre on Nov. 21.

Tickets for this semes-ter’s productions can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office.

Last month, Apple an-nounced that on Sept. 9 they would be hold-ing an event to announce their new products. The only thing they said about the event was, “Wish we could say more.” They delivered.

Apple announced a whole slew of new prod-ucts. The key announce-ments of the event were the iPhone update, Apple Pay and the Apple Watch.

This time around, Ap-ple dropped the familiar “i” that comes before their product names and in-stead called the new prod-uct “Apple Watch.” But it’s only a watch in name, es-sentially functioning as a stand-alone device that just happens to sit on the wrist.

The watch has its own apps that can be controlled directly through the watch, but it also uses a paired iP-hone—connected through the bluetooth function— for other apps.

Customers can navigate the device through a com-bination of touch screen and analog controls.

Two physical buttons sit on the side of the watch. One is the “crown,” a dial that is used to zoom in and out in certain apps. The other is the communication button. This button sends users to a friends list where they can send messages or even their heartbeat to friends.

Sending heartbeats is possible because of the sensors located behind the face of the watch. The heart rate sensor, along with the new health app coming to iOS 8, shows a clear fitness-centric direc-tion for Apple.

Another year means an-other iPhone, and this year’s update brings a new

look for the company’s flagship phone.

The iPhone 6 will come in two variants, a new move for the Cuperti-no-based company.

Apple generally only re-leases one version of their flagship model. This year the iPhone 6 and the iP-hone 6 Plus will be a depar-ture from that strategy.

The base model will cost $199 and will have a 4.7 inch screen. The iPhone 6 Plus will be a larger ver-sion, a 5.5 inch screen.

The current model (iP-hone 5) has a four inch screen, so both of the new models will be larger than what current users are ac-customed to.

The new phones will

feature an A8 processor, supposedly 25 percent fast-er than its predecessor, and a Near Field Commu-nication (NFC) chip that will allow people to use their phone as a credit card replacement.

Users will be able to es-sentially treat their phone as a credit card. Instead of swiping a credit card

through a machine, they’ll place their phone near a sensor. The sensor will rec-ognize the phone and the payment will go through.

Apple has partnered with many of the most popu-lar retailers to ensure that their users actually have places that they can go to in order to take advantage of this new feature.

Blues band These Pil-grims will bring their unique sound to the Beck-er Amphitheater on Wednesday.

The outdoor concert is part of a bi-weekly series of concerts organized by Associated Students, In-corporated Productions (ASIP), which will or-ganize several concerts throughout the rest of the school year.

The Whittier-based band blends traditional blues sounds with psychedelic rock and gypsy rock, ac-cording to their website

and Facebook profile. These Pilgrims’ mix-

ture of acoustic guitars, a stand-up bass, an accordi-on and a mandolin gives them a more modern feel than most blues bands, but their distinctive sound and “old-timey” feel is a tip of the cap to a bygone era in the blues genre.

They released a five-track EP album titled Dang Ol’ EP in July 2013, and have been playing several local venues since, includ-ing The Night Owl and 2J’s Cocktail Lounge in down-town Fullerton where they had a weekly residency.

“We were all playing in bands together, but sepa-rately, and were growing pretty bored. Then when we went to Hardly Strictly (a bluegrass festival in San

Francisco), we were intro-duced to artists like Sea-sick Steve and we knew we wanted to emulate that sound,” the band stated in an interview with stay-tuned.la.

With songs like Lou, Dynamite Fisherman and We’re So Far From Home, These Pilgrims have a wide-ranging sound that will add more diversity to the already eclectic sched-ule of artists at the Becker Amphitheater this fall.

This will be the second concert at the Becker Am-phitheater. Indie band Sea-side Audio played in front of approximately 500 people Aug. 27 in the first concert.

Indie band Naive Thieves are scheduled to play Sept. 24, followed by dream pop act Monogem on Nov. 5.

The Fullerton School District’s Visible Innova-tion Program provided iP-ads for more than 6,000 students in late August in an effort to modernize the classroom experience. The $2.5 million initiative gives iPads to fifth through eighth grade students in or-der to help integrate tech-nology into their school curriculums.

The program is expect-ed to increase productivi-ty in communications, cre-ativity, collaboration and critical thinking. This is a step in the right direction for the Fullerton School District.

“With the iPad, student learning will become self-paced through online Web 2.0 programs and net-working tools,” said Rob-ert Pletka, the Fullerton School District superin-tendent, in a letter issued to parents and families re-garding the program. “Ad-ditionally, students will participate as “citizens of the world” with the ability to communicate, innovate, create and collaborate within and beyond the bor-ders of their community to build broad-based knowl-edge and understandings of world cultures.”

There is certainly a

stigma to overcome when debating the idea of tablets in classrooms.

It’s easy to argue against putting another screen in front of student faces con-sidering how much time kids already spend on handheld devices.

Tablets are known as a source of distraction for

youth, and some parents may not want their children to spend so much time on an iPad.

Fortunately, these stu-dents will have tablets equipped with software that prohibits them from visiting any off-limits websites, en-suring students are not dis-tracted while learning.

Like past technologi-cal advancements, such as the television and person-al computer, the iPad has the possibility to be turned into a critical teaching tool. These inventions eventual-ly made their way into ev-ery school in America with great effect, improving learning environments for

students and teachers alike through engagement and interaction.

Fullerton School District are not the only ones to at-tempt integrating tablets into the classroom.

In the fall, St. Paul School District in Minne-sota will equip 40,000 of their students with iPads,

making it the largest initia-tive of its kind in any state school system.

The district’s plan is to integrate iPads in class-rooms in an effort to in-troduce new technology as a teaching tool and to con-tinue to pave the way for a more modern education system.

“From my experience in internships and working in classrooms as a teach-er’s aid, I’ve seen kids as young as second grade us-ing iPads to take exams,” said Aubrey Porras, a fifth year child and adoles-cent development student at CSUF. “From what I’ve seen, it’s more helpful for the teacher because they can work collaboratively with the children.”

School teachers are con-stantly looking for new ways to engage students, as the classroom experience continues to evolve.

The Visible Innovation Program is expected to trans-form the classrooms into a multi-dimensional learning experience that will pave a new age for education.

Technology has always been leading the way for im-proving teaching methods and these new iPads will continue this trend for the Fullerton School District. Schools have the obligation to integrate new technology into their classrooms, and the rising popularity of the tablet is the next step in de-fining a new era of learning for students.

For the past few years, fast food workers across the nation have vehement-ly made their case to hike the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour. Rallies, strikes and protests from disgruntled employ-ees have negatively affect-ed chains and have exposed the nation to the serious minimum wage dilemma in this country.

Last Thursday, in 150 cities across America, fast food employees walked off their jobs, sending a mes-sage to management that they’re tired of working long hours for little pay. There has been much debate

of late over possible hikes in the minimum wage.

President Barack Obama has urged Congress to in-crease the federal mini-mum wage up to $10.

During Labor Day week-end, Obama further ex-pressed his support of an increase in pay, stating, “There is no denying the simple truth: America de-serves a raise.”

The salaries for CEO’s of fast-food compa-nies can be hundreds of

times more than the sala-ries of their workers. In 2012 the average salary for fast-food CEO’s was $26.7 million, according to Businessweek.

Meanwhile, the median yearly salary for food ser-vice prep workers or ser-vice workers is current-ly $18,500, approximately $4,500 below the pover-ty threshold, according to CNN.

This is economic inequali-ty at the highest level.

The enormous discrepan-cies between wages show the complete absence of profit-sharing in these cor-porations, but America is a capitalist society and, sadly, capitalism’s nat-ural state tends to favor exploitation.

This is a fight that hasn’t just caught the attention

of the public, but of poli-ticians as well. Protesters have been arrested in Chi-cago, Kansas, New York, Detroit and other cities for disorderly conduct and civ-il disobedience.

Rep. Gwen Moore, a Wisconsin Democrat, even received a $691 ticket for disorderly conduct while protesting.

While these protests are reminiscent of the Occupy Wall Street campaign, it ap-pears that these workers and

protesters have laid out a clear and organized plan.

Last March, McDonald’s employees filed wage theft lawsuits against McDon-ald’s franchises in Califor-nia, New York and Mich-igan, claiming that the company didn’t pay them overtime and forced them to work off the clock.

Of course, McDonald’s has denied these claims and are adamant in say-ing they don’t control how wages are set by its fran-chises, an assertion that is hard to believe.

McDonald’s is a bil-lion-dollar corporation, paying workers more isn’t going to send them flying into bankruptcy.

California’s minimum wage, which is currently at $9 an hour and is sched-uled to go up to $10.00 an hour in 2016, is higher than the $7.25 Federal minimum wage. For families who are struggling both in California and across the nation, $10 or $7.25 just isn’t enough.

Latoya Caldwell, an em-ployee for Wendy’s, is one of those people. Caldwell is a mother of four who is trying to raise her children while only making $7.50 an hour.

“Nobody should work 40 hours a week and find themselves homeless, with-out enough money to buy them and their kids food, needing public assistance,” Caldwell said, in an inter-view with NBC News.

The easy argument against raising the minimum wage is that it will hurt the economy, and if people want better pay they should get an education

to broaden their opportuni-ties. However, nothing in life is as simple as that statement. Everyone has different ob-stacles and hurdles to climb.

People have families and countless other responsibil-ities that may prevent them from going to school.

For a nation that

continuously proclaims it-self to be the wealthiest and greatest country on Earth, it can do better than $7.25 an hour.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You need to extend yourself today -- so reach out to someone new who could use your help at work, or may-be ask that estranged friend what you can do to start making things right.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Your social energy is too powerful to be denied today -- so hang out with people even if you think you want down time. You should have plenty of time (and the right kind of energy) for meditation

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

It’s time for you to get some real clar-ity -- and to give it in return! Your energy may not be quite right for precise calculations or highly detailed work, but you can come to a new emotional understanding

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

You need to look more closely at your life’s biggest mystery -- and your mental energy helps you get the clar-ity you need to resolve it. It may be a breakthrough or a small, incremental change.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Things aren’t as rosy as you had hoped -- but that’s not to say that all is lost! Your energy is right for mak-ing small advances, as long as you’re letting go of all assumptions before moving forward.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

This is a good time to listen carefully and evaluate all opinions with equal weight. That could be tough -- espe-cially if one person on your team is prone to mistakes -- but the effort is worthwhile.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Try not to worry when things move too slowly today -- it’s just part of the way the universe is working. Pushing just makes things worse, so try hard to just deal with the situation as it is.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Today’s energy helps you bridge the gap between what you want and what you’ve got. The boundaries be-tween realities are a little looser, so you may be able to shift things to your advantage.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You lose something kind of import-ant early today -- and the harder you look for it, the more elusive it becomes. Let go and you’re sure to get it (or a replacement) back soon enough.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

It’s a great time to meet new people and socialize -- things are definitely going your way, and you should find that people are much more likely to connect you with their own net-works.

AQUARIUS(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

You have to rethink at least one im-portant issue today -- even if it feels fully settled. You can tell that things aren’t quite right, and your mental energy is best spent in review.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

You need to try something totally new today -- even if it feels off-bal-anced or maybe not quite right. That discomfort is actually a good sign that things are likely to align correct-ly in the end.

Cal State Fullerton wom-en’s volleyball will head to the College of Charleston Classic in South Carolina this weekend after being defeated three sets to one by the San Diego State Az-tecs, dropping their over-all record to 4-3 on the season.

The Aztecs took home the win after dropping the first set 21-25 to the Titans before taking command and winning the final three sets 25-21, 25-23 and 25-19.

Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman will lead the

squad into a three-match tournament against some challenging teams in the Charleston Classic.

The Titans will open the tournament by facing the Stetson Hatters in their first match on Friday.

The Hatters have an overall record of 5-1 with their only loss coming to the Florida Atlantic Owls.

The Hatters have record-ed 285 kills compared to an impressive 336 kills from the Titans.

Freshman Niki Withers leads Fullerton with 100 kills and junior Holland Crenshaw has 73 kills so far.

Sophomore libero

McKenna Painton leads the team with 113 digs out of the 377 the Titans have overall.

She is second in the Big West in digs behind fresh-man libero Arden Davis of UC Irvine and leads the conference in digs per set with 4.52.

The Hatters’ strongest attacker is Madison Akins, who has 70 kills.

Her teammate McKenna Foster is close behind with 68 kills.

Juniors Alexa Drost and Kayla Weller contributed 73 and 51 digs out of Stet-son’s overall total of 309.

The Titans will square off in their second match

against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, who have a solid record of 6-1.

The Demon Deacons swept their last match after handily defeating Wofford 25-22, 25-14 and 25-18.

Wake Forest junior Ma-talee Reed is their most well-rounded player with 69 kills, 17 digs and a total of 31 blocks.

Reed has the highest hitting percentage on the team, with a .451 mark.

Wake Forest has racked up 67 total blocks, a slight advantage over the Titans who sit at just 55 blocks through seven matches.

The Demon Deacons’ top attacker is senior

outside hitter Jazmen Rus-sell, who has recorded 92 kills and a .227 hitting percentage.

Caroline Wolf is the team’s dominant defensive presence with 118 digs.

The last match for the Titans will be against the College of Charleston Cou-gars, who sit with an over-all record of 3-4.

The Cougars were swept in their most recent match against Georgia with a close call in the first two sets 25-23, 25-21 before struggling in the last set 25-14.

The Cougars’ top attack-er, Melissa Morell, ended with 10 kills and top de-fender Andi Zbojniewicz

had 14 digs. The Cougars finished

with a season low of two blocks compared to the nine blocks from their opponent.

Morello is one of the ma-jor contributors to the team with 98 kills and 3.27 kills per set.

Zbojniewicz has an im-pressive 128 digs and 4.27 digs per set.

The Titans will start the first match at the College of Charleston Classic on Friday.

Their final two games will be played on Saturday at 8 a.m. against Wake For-est and at 4 p.m. against the College of Charleston.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team opened up their 2014-2015 campaign by finishing eighth in the renowned Southwestern In-tercollegiate held in West-lake Village.

While an eighth place finish out of 12 teams might not seem impres-sive for the No. 66 ranked Titans, the fact that they were able to perform well against top competition is a positive sign for Head Coach Jason Drotter and his squad.

The defending Big West Conference champions started their season off rocky on Monday, as they finished 10th out of 12 teams to open the two-day tournament.

The Titans shot 596 to finish 28-over-par, put-ting them 10 shots out of the top-five team rankings right from the start.

While day two was cer-tainly an improvement for Fullerton, their 13-over-par performance on Tuesday was only good enough to raise Fullerton two spots to finish eighth overall.

The early deficit proved too difficult for the Titans to overcome.

Stanford ran away from the field in the tournament,

recording a final round eight-under-par and finish with a score of four-under, 848 overall.

The Cardinal entered play ranked No. 3 national-ly, and were a heavy favor-ite to win the tournament from the start.

Stanford’s Maverick Mc-Nealy rode a six-under-par 65 third round to earn the individual title at 10-un-der-par 203.

The next closest compe-tition was USC, who shot one-under-par to surpass the Washington State Cougars on the final day of play.

The No. 33 ranked Trojans made up a two-shot deficit with ease on Tuesday to earn second place, as their Pac-12 rival

Cougars shot 11-over-par to fall into third.

CSUF struggled to keep up with the more expe-rienced Pac-12 teams, but had some performers stand out with their strong finishes.

Fullerton’s star per-former was senior Ryan Tetrault, who shot a third round 68 three-under-par to move up 17 slots to end the tournament in a tie for ninth place.

The Villa Park native re-corded the only under par score for the Titans in this tournament, capturing the 13th top-10 finish of his career.

Fellow senior Josh Park finished with a final score of 220, seven-over-par

after a strong third round on Tuesday.

Park finished the tour-nament in 18th place after climbing up two positions with his team-high 10 bird-ies in the tournament.

Santiago Canyon College transfer Nico Mendoza and freshman Mark Cobey made their Titan debuts in the tournament, both fin-ishing in the top 60 of the field.

CSUF will be back in ac-tion on Sept. 15-16 when they head to the Saint Mary’s Invitational at the Bayonet and Black Horse Courses in Seaside.

The absence of Mark Anguiano was certainly noticeable as the Titans fell in an early hole on Monday

that they could not work out of on the second day.

If Fullerton is able to play similar to how they performed on Tuesday, then another Big West Conference title will be within their reach.

However, if Monday’s problems consist for CSUF, it could be difficult for Drotter’s team to live up to the high standards they have become accustomed to in recent years.

There is still plenty of room for improvement and a long season awaits the largely untested Titans, but with the recent success the program has had, CSUF cannot be counted out for a potential conference championship.

This will be the first trip out of the state for the Titans so far in 2014, and they are just 2-2 away from Titan Gym this year. With the Big West schedule ahead, Fullerton will need to learn to win on the road as soon as possible.
