Mumani said that he went in the shaft after he heard a cat inside. “I was trying to chase the Photos by Karl Thunman/Daily Titan Photo Editor cat,” Mumani said.

The Associated Press

LONG BEACH – A man who jumped off a pier as his family was scattering the ashes of his mother- in-law drowned Tuesday, and a fisherman who tried to save him also drowned, authorities said. Melvin Monte Rabb, 27, a father of three young children, was “in kind of a crazy mood” and wanted to go swimming, Rabb’s father-in- law, Robert Allen, said. Family members said Rabb jumped off Belmont Veterans Me- morial Pier and dog-paddled against the current for a few minutes before going under. A man who regularly fished at the pier jumped in after Rabb and swam for a few moments before going under. His body was later recovered by rescuers, but he had not been identified by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. “The water was very calm. I don’t believe these people were particularly good swimmers,” said Long Beach Fire Department spokesman Will Nash. 4 NEWS October 25, 2007 FITNESS: helping OLDER ADULTS BE MORE ACTIVE (from Page 1) gy graduate student and senior fit- The Fit4Life program, run out ness class instructor, said. “When of the CSUF Center for Successful we set up their program, we know Aging, offers people age 50 and up what is going to benefit them the fitness classes geared toward older most.” adult needs.

Although Pfefferkorn never saw himself working in a cubicle environment, after seven years on the job, he has grown to love the fact that the education never stops and he is constantly learning something new. Even though math plays the main role in both Conley and Pfefferkorn’s lives, it wasn’t always that way. Conley could be seen during her CSUF years wearing the blue suit of a parking officer. “That’s a really different side of campus you don’t get to see very often,” Conley said. The competitive parking race for students was just as bad in the late ‘90s as it is now, Conley said. She witnessed students smashing cars to get a prime spot and playing chicken with each other for the same space. Even though parking seemed bad back then, CSUF was quite intimate compared to today’s campus popu- lation. Conley and Pfefferkorn said they wish the increase in students would equate to a rise in school spirit, but they don’t see that happening. “I wish the students would realize this is a time in your life you don’t get back and you’ll have all your life to run the rat race and work,” Conley said. “If you look around, there are places to get involved in.” Conley and Pfefferkorn said they would love for their newborn girl, Edie, to someday be an active student on CSUF’s campus – no matter what her major. “I just know she’s going to be hor- rible at math,” Conley mused. Education is very important to the new parents and they constantly portray this by spreading their knowledge through their work and staying involved with CSUF. “We are just two nerds,” Conley laughed.

It has been 20 years since their last meeting, and the death of their hero. On that September day in 1975 the women decide to celebrate the an- niversary with a reunion, but each of them brings her own secrets. One person with a big secret is the character played by graduate student Kirsten Kuiken. “My character is a bit of a surprise,” Kuiken said. “She has a in- teresting past and relationship with the other women. She comes back with a mission in mind.” While Kuiken describes her character as focused in on truth, others characters seem to be less bothered with the real and surreal. Smith plays Mona, who believes her son was fathered by James Dean. “She’s kind of similar to Blanche DuBois from ‘A Streetcar Named Desire,’” Smith said. “She’s created an elaborate fantasy world that she struggles with.” The audience isn’t just told about the Disciples’ pasts, they are shown as well. The play takes place both in 1975 and 1955, sometimes simultane- ously. In order to help the audience understand who is who in the past, the actresses worked closely with their “younger selves.” “We worked together to discover similar speech patterns and man- nerism,” Smith said. The actresses not only had to learn about each other, but about Jimmy Dean and the era he created as well. Arnold had the cast watch the rebellious actor’s movies, as well as a documentary of his life and times.Those already familiar with James Dean will be for a treat. Scat- tered throughout the production are subtle salutes to the tragic icon. “The Disciples wear red jackets that were taken from ‘Rebel With- out a Cause’ and there are other little James Dean memorials,” Ar- nold said. The play opened Oct. 19 and will run until Nov. 4. Opening night was described as a success by all involved. “One night, at the end of the first act, someone in the audience went ‘Whaaat?’,” Smith said. “We’ve been working on the play so long, we forgot how funny it is. We forgot the shock.” Tickets for “Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jim- my Dean” are $9 at the door. In advance with a student ID, they are $8.

In fact, Davis is attending a round table discussion with Washington, D.C. legislatures on the subject. “[I hope] this presidential administration can better graph human trafficking strategies,” Davis said. “Cargo: Innocence Lost” capitu- lated Davis’ career as an artist who is passionate about human rights. He discussed this pressing issue of human trafficking on various media outlets, such as CNN, NBC and ABC News. In addition, Davis screened his films at the United Nations- Asso ciation Film Festival and Vanguard College in order to get the message out. As far as working with learning institutions, Davis said that young people are able to take a stand by campaigning for a cause. “Students bring [awareness] to life,” Davis said. The CSUF Women’s Center staff has nothing but praise for the activist. “He puts his money where his mouth is,” Jerri Freeman, special events coordinator said. Currently, no plans have been made to bring Davis back to CSUF, but Camacho does not rule out another opportunity for him to speak at the university. “We would like to bring him back for another conference,” Camacho said. In 2006, Anne Archer and the Artist for Human Rights Founda- tion awarded Davis for his activist efforts. “I was very happy,” Davis said. “It helped me feel my hard work was appreciated.” For more information about human trafficking and prevention efforts in the United States, visit www. istoptraffic.com. 8 OPINION October 25, 2007 CSUF may not Controversial contraceptive Titan Editorial be prepared for Providing insight, analysis an emergency and perspective since 1960 measure for tweens is out of line By Robert Moran By Joy Alicia ter. young even healthy?

Giving out these gift cards is a great way to refund console owners who don’t already subscribe to Xbox Live, but what about the people who already use this service? The estimated repair time for a damaged 360 is four to six weeks. Even under the best circumstanc- es. a person who already subscribes to Xbox Live would only be refund- ed for the service they have already paid for. If it took more than four weeks for the console to be repaired and returned to the owner, the free gift card would not fully refund the lost time from their membership. There are many ways in which Microsoft can fix this situation, such as offering discounts on Xbox products or giving out free points for merchandise that can be purchased on the Xbox Live marketplace. Either way it seems that if Mi- crosoft wishes to keep its customers happy it is going to have to find a way to reimburse everyone who is affected by the defect with the console.

These are job descriptions. Some of these seem lifted from job applications and reworded. Or maybe some inspirational book with a title like “I Want To Be A Leader: How To Succeed And Be Great.” It’s savagely vague crap. Anybody running should meet needs and tackle problems, and you better damn well be ready to listen, accomplish and succeed. That’s not you being unique. That’s not even you being clever. That’s you doing your job. What the hell makes any of you even remotely different from any of the other candidates? Candidates, read what you wrote, and then read what your opponent wrote.

Humorscopes brought to you by humorscope.com Aries (March 21 - April 19) Good day to let yourself go. Just be back by 10, OK? Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Today you will make a bold fashion statement, which will eventually become a trend and sweep the nation. “Executive Grunge”, you’ll call it. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Soon you will find yourself at another dull party, SUDOKU where the only person you know is who you came with. You’ll need to use Tip #39 of my book “101 Ways To Break The Ice”: Ask some one who they are, after introducing yourself. When they say their name, repeat it back to them as “YOU’RE Bill Smith???” Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Do not snitch a jelly donut today, when nobody is looking. The chocolate frosted one is much better. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Good day to begin that toothpick sculpture you’ve been thinking of. Of course, where you’re actually going to put a life-sized tooth pick sculpture of a rhinocerous is another mat ter. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You’ll get your big break today! Try not to blow it. And stand up straight - shoulders back! That’s better. Libra (September 22 - October 22) Good day to bring home a bag or two of live bugs. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You will vow to always tell the truth, but it will backfire on you. Most people find that kind of behavior highly suspicious, and more than a little deviant. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Today you will read a bit of Shakespeare, and just before you fall asleep, you will think: “A duck, by any other name, would smell as foul.” Never mix Shakespeare and chocolate Previous Puzzle icecream.
