Comm Week Launches at CSUF

Speaker inspires students with her thoughts on the future of convergent media and what it means to be a journalist

KACIE YOSHIDA Daily Titan

Between classes, a handful of students gathered in the Titan Student Union to hear Comm Week speaker Susan Belknapp’s thoughts on the future of convergent media. With the fate of media in the hands of the next generation of graduates, Belknapp stressed the importance of being a versatile individual who knows the many facets of convergent journalism.

With a degree in film as well as a master’s from USC in screenwriting, Belknapp performed an assortment of jobs including freelancing and even working as a waitress until she stumbled upon her current job as senior writer at Churm Media’s magazine, OC Metro. Located in Orange County, Churm Media produces a slew of magazines, including OC Metro, OC Family, Inland Empire Family, Southland Golf and OC Menus. “Be open to wherever your path takes you,” said Belknapp. “You just never know ... By the time you get hired somewhere, (the job) is often

where you didn’t think you’d end up, but often it’s a place you’ll be happy with.” At Churm Media, Belknapp worked her way up from freelancer to one of the few full-time employees. And while working with the company she has also continued to write screenplays as well as fiction as a freelancer for different companies. “There’s a huge amount of writing that gets done outside of hard news writing. I’m glad I didn’t go down that path,” Belknapp continued. While Belknapp stressed the importance of finding a job that is enjoyable, she highly em-

phasized the importance of finding an internship that is beneficial to furthering one’s career. There are many internships available for those who want to become involved at Churm Media. “If you want to learn a little and get published clips, come intern for us,” Belknapp said. “We need writers all the time and you’ll get a lot of experience ... I promise you’ll be in print by summer.” See MEDIA, page 2

Public relations event teaches about fashion Guest speaker informs PR students how to fashionably prepare for the industry ALNAS ZIA Daily Titan

Some people choose to create their own destinies. For sophomore Ariel Tsuchiyama, the star catcher of the Cal State Fullerton softball team, her calling came before she was even born. With her parents setting down the groundwork for what would become a lifelong love

affair with softball, a nudge was all she needed. Tsuchiyama was born April 10, 1991, to her parents Troy and Jill Tsuchiyama, who both grew up playing baseball and softball. This pastime was passed down to their soon-to-be superstar softball player Tsuchiyama, who grabbed it with both arms and never let go, according to her father Troy. “She tried other sports and they didn’t satisfy her like softball … It

blew us away. Her mom and I tried to find other things for her, but she wasn’t having it. Softball was it,” said Troy. Since the age of 6, softball has been it. From recreation leagues to traveling teams, Tsuchiyama did them all, slowly perfecting her skills as she pushed herself to do better. See CATCHER, page 6

Fashion and the public relations industry are both competitive worlds where trends are always changing and reputation is considered the chief asset. Therefore, it is important to understand the essentials of fashion public relations for students before they venture into the field. The members of the Cal State Fullerton Public Relations Student Society of America got an opportunity to gain firsthand information from an industry insider. The Fashion PR event at the TSU Ontiveros hosted by the organization Wednesday invited Erika Klein, founder and owner of Shout PR, to speak to students and inform them about the fashion public relations business. Shout PR has been promoting new and established fashion and lifestyle brands since 1997, with BB Dakota and Whole Foods being some of its clients. “Our members were asking us to invite a fashion public relations person for a long time now

since we’ve had public relations professionals from various fields throughout the semester,” said PRSSA Vice President Cecilia Padilla, 21, a communications major. Klein advised students to build relationships in the field and to take internships seriously. She explained that internships, whether with a small company or a multinational firm, are the best way to land a job. Also the experiences you get from every job can be taken into the next job. “Students should get involved and be ready to move around. Since Orange County does not (have) many fashion PR companies, students should be willing to commute to LA for opportunities,” Klein said. Klein also stated that students looking for a career in this field should have good writing skills and a general knowledge of how the fashion industry works. Being up on fashion trends and having a personal fashion style are always a plus. See FASHION, page 4

With a multitude of on-campus activities to get involved in, programs off Cal State Fullerton grounds can often be overlooked. The Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary, a nonprofit nature conservation center located about 30 minutes from campus, was acquired by CSUF between 1968 and 1969 from the San Fernando Audubon Society. It is managed by the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and works closely with the Volunteer and Service Center on campus. The facility features a greenhouse, holding plants native to California, various species of birds, as well as other wildlife. According to Karon Cornell, director of the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary, they are best known for their birds, as there are 73 different species that pass through the facility. “We also have six species of hummingbirds, so we’re best known for our hummingbirds,” said Cornell. While the majority of the animals are free to roam within the conservation area, one of the facility’s favorite residents, a female possum, is kept in a cage so visitors can see her during the day. In addition to the different species of birds, the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary is home to other wildlife including cougars, eagles, owls and the facility’s favored corn snake. “Our most popular ambassador is Bob the corn snake and he loves to be handled. He’s about three feet long—a bright, orange, beautiful snake,” Cornell said. Facilities such as the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary are not uncommon among other colleges. “Most other universities have off-site facilities for geology students, geography students, biology students and art students. It’s not just a college research facility and it’s also open to the public—we’re in the AAA book, so we get a lot of tourists. We’re actually quite crowded on the weekends,” said Marcella Gilchrist, the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary’s site manager. See TUCKER, page 2

COMM: Real life experiences ...Continued from page 1 Interns at Churm Media produce the majority of the content provided in the magazines the company produces. With a small staff, they rely heavily on interns to “hit the ground running” with fulfilling interviews and stories. And while fact checking is what interns do most often, Belknapp promised that each intern is assigned a story to report on during the first day on the job. Already early in the week, communications students from all emphases have been crowding the halls of the TSU in search of their Comm Week speakers. “Comm Week has been so helpful and has given me a different perspective on things,” said Ali Soto, a communications major.

Soto, who also attended the event “Goofin’ My Way Through Life,” went on to say that while some Comm Week events are for pure entertainment, Belknapp made an honest effort to pass on very pertinent information that will help students find jobs. “Comm Week brings in people with real life experience that builds upon what students are learning in classes,” said journalism Professor Marie Logia-Kee. “... And I think it also helps to start making connections with people who are in the industry.” While Comm Week just kicked off Monday morning, there are many events that all students are welcome and encouraged to join.

The Daily Titan is a student publication, printed every Monday through Thursday. The Daily Titan operates independently of Associated Students, College of Communications, CSUF administration and the CSUF System. The Daily Titan has functioned as a public forum since inception. Unless implied by the advertising party or otherwise stated, advertising in the Daily Titan is inserted by commercial activities or ventures identified in the advertisements themselves and not by the university. Such printing is not to be construed as written or implied sponsorship, endorsement or investigation of such commercial enterprises. The Daily Titan allocates one issue to each student for free.

According to the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary newsletter, the 12-acre facility had 15,000 public visitors and 1,900 college student visitors this past year. As a result of the frequent visitors, the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary has upgraded its facility with the help of community and student volunteers, interns from different academic departments as well as the Girl Scouts of the USA and Boy Scouts of America. “We have new picnic areas and we’re expanding the nature center with hands-on displays. We’re also starting to do guided tours on the weekends for the public,” Gilchrist said. “We’re working on interpretive programs and trail guides and we’re in the process of developing programs where we have nature journals. We’re starting to expand the capabilities of the facility.” The Volunteer and Service Center has continued to play a large part in renovating the establishment over the years, as CSUF volunteers offer their services at the center twice a semester. “We coordinate different community service projects through different programs. One of them is called Proj-

helpers is planting different plants that are native to the area. In addition to the volunteering opportunities offered to students, the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary also hosts different activities. For instance, the facility hosted its third annual Spring Fair and Art Festival April 9 and 10 during their regular hours throughout the day. “We (will) have vendors with the plants along the plant ways. We really combine art and nature,” said Shauna Brady-Hart, resource developer for the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary. “This event is a great way for people to experience art and nature together. There is something for every age.” Because the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary is located off campus, the nature conservation center can be forgotten in terms of programs and activities available for CSUF students. Nevertheless, through the Volunteer and Service Center, students can work closely with the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary and use it as an opportunity to get environmentally involved on and off campus. The Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is located at 29322 Modjeska Canyon Rd. Silverado, CA 92676. For more information visit TuckerWildlife.org

ect Earth. One of those that we work with regularly is the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary,” said Amy Mattern, coordinator at the Volunteer and Service Center. The Volunteer and Service Center features events on its calendar that students can sign up for and attend at the sanctuary. “The students really love going there. They clear trails and do some planting, remove weeds and I think they’ve done some painting and repairs,” Mattern said. “We are usually out there for about three hours and they work really hard the whole time to get different projects completed.” Various projects are given to the student volunteers to work on during their time at the facility. “Most of (the projects) are for restoring the buildings and some of them are for more natural restoration. We put native species where they should be and we work on public trails and things of that nature. For example, last time we cleared some debris from where there was fire before,” said Lin Greene, 23, a computer science major and student director at the Volunteer and Service Center. According to Anna Coria, 21, a biology major and student director at the Volunteer and Service Center, a common task given to the student

A “Now Open” sign in front of the newly built Sonic restaurant catches the eyes of passers-by near the intersection of Chapman and Placentia Avenues. A “Coming Soon” sign appears on the intersection of Chapman Avenue and State College Boulevard, this time in the window of a Five Guys Burgers and Fries. With the addition of these two restaurants opening near campus, Cal State Fullerton students never have to worry about going hun-

gry. However, the abundance of hamburger eateries may leave students craving something else–variety. These new restaurants will join the other nearby burger joints, the Habit Burger Grill, In-N-Out, McDonald’s, Jack in the Box and the Carl’s Jr. on campus, all within walking distance of CSUF. Some students are beginning to see the abundance of burger restaurants in and around campus as overwhelming. “There are more than enough burger places within walking distance of CSUF,” said Martin Nguyen, 23, a civil engineering major. “I eat on campus every other day … I never crave burgers.” Others feel CSUF students are lucky to have such a selection. “We literally have all of the fastfood places you can think of in our neck of the woods,” said Thomas Nguyen, 21, a kinesiology major. “(CSUF students) are very fortunate to have many food choices to choose from in a square mile.” Some students would like to have

a healthier selection. But for most college students, cheapest and most convenient wins. “Sometimes you want to eat healthier but you don’t want to pay more,” said Jon Vu, 20, a business major. “So what happens? You eat fast food.” Having a variety of different types of foods is what a lot of students want to see. “Being a Vietnamese American, I (would) like to see some Vietnamese food or even Korean and Indian food,” Thomas said. Students want to have a wide selection of food, but price and convenience take priority in the busy life of a college student. Vu believes being selective with food is not an option for students. “When it comes down to it, it’s all about the money,” Vu said. “It’s here and it’s cheap.” Patricia Laguna, a professor of kinesiology at CSUF, doesn’t see a bright future for students’ health as of now, because “it’s fast, so students will eat it.”

More than 470 inmates at a prison in southern Afghanistan escaped today through a tunnel dug from outside the jail, with many of the escapees being Taliban insurgents. A Taliban spokesperson said it took five months to build the 360-meter tunnel that led into the political wing. According to the spokesperson, over 100 of them were Taliban commanders, while many others were Taliban insurgents. The tunnel was created from a house north of the prison rented by “friends” of the Taliban, and it took prisoners over 30 minutes to walk through to reach the vehicles waiting for them at the exit. The Kandahar governor’s office, where the jail escape happened, said at least 12 have been recaptured, but they are giving no further statement except to say that it was a “disaster.” This is the second major jailbreak in three years at the Kandahar prison. In June 2008, a suicide bomber blew open the prison gates releasing over 900 prisoners and insurgents. A major uproar in violence followed the last prison break. Brief by Ashley Loera

Demonstrate for your education Common Sense by

PETER CORNETT

“Politics for the People” In one of the moments when I was tweeting about events at the recent sit-in at Cal State Fullerton, I had a thought: Profiles are often written of heroes who sacrifice for others, but how can I best describe a group of heroes, ordinary and yet also extraordinary at the same time? Not finding in the English lexicon a suitably glamorous word, I eventually just settled on “demonstrators.” The demonstrators who spent days camped in Langsdorf Hall are heroes in the most literal sense. The belief in their cause, an affordable and quality education for all, was palpable and infused into every discussion or debate that reverberated across the halls of the building. Over the three-day sit-in, these students and faculty trudged from meeting to meeting, bearing the same bleary-eyed, determined expressions that were evident on the faces of Allied soldiers in old World War II videos. Because our university is located in the heart of the conservative Orange County, many of the comments made on news websites were predictably hostile toward the participants of the demonstrations. Posts containing words such as “parasites” and “freeloaders” were casually intermingled with the occasional statement expressing support for event participants.

If these students were simply demanding government handouts, as it may seem to be one of the skewed perceptions of the event, I would not dare invoke the label of “hero.” I consider these students and faculty heroes because of the reason why they were so persistent in their demands for an accessible, quality education. In one of the meetings in which university administrators were refusing to sign the Declaration to Defend Public Education, a frustrated student interjected with, “My brothers. I’m doing this for my brothers.” The room then erupted with statements such as, “I have a daughter. I want her to be able to afford college.” No, these demonstrators were not the selfish, parasitical freeloaders the contemptible stereotype suggests; they were heroic activists, each and every one of them, fighting for future generations of Californians. Make no mistake, this demonstration was both a plea for support and a request for more resources. After days of sleeping on stonecold floors, demonstrators finally received support from CSUF President Milton Gordon in the form of a signature on their Declaration to Defend Public Education. What is left, dear readers, is for more admittedly scarce state

resources to be allocated toward higher education. This end, I believe, should be supported by both conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats. I am a conservative Libertarian myself, but I can see (even in purely free-market terms) the obvious need to invest in the same people who will one day be running the country. As a society, we can take one of two approaches toward public higher education: either it is an investment we will make in our children or we will just say “screw it, every man for himself!” The minds of our sons and daughters are a non-renewable resource of incalculable value; I see no reason why the prison system is a better investment. Investing in the future of their children is something parents of college students instinctively understand. However, they were the only group that was conspicuously absent among the ranks of the demonstrators. Why?

Last semester I wrote about the vegetarian diet and the benefits that come along with it. I hope this article will be able to answer a few questions and help people understand that adapting to vegetarianism provides benefits that can be sometimes overlooked. Yes, I am a vegetarian, which may lead to a biased opinion, although research backs up the benefits of being a vegetarian. I understand that it can be hard for people to exclude meat from their diet, especially because denying yourself something can be one of the most difficult tasks in your life. On the flip side, I personally don’t feel I am denying myself anything, simply because it is helping me to be a healthier person. On a daily basis I am questioned on my choice of being a vegetarian. “But… you can’t eat In-NOut!” Being a vegetarian doesn’t mean the joy of eating is sucked out from your life. In fact, I enjoy eating a grilled cheese at In-NOut, and yes, it tastes just as good, if not better than a cheeseburger. I have even found that some restaurants provide an entire section of their menu to vegetarian options. The population seems to be catching on to this new trend and this couldn’t come at a better time. My reasons for becoming a vegetarian include animal rights, environmental health and my own personal health. Personally, I became turned off when I found out some of the meat I was eating was filled with antibiotics and hormones. I highly suggest watching the movie Food, Inc., which exposes the truth behind the meat industry. Recently, there has been a lot of new evidence praising both vegan and vegetarian diets. The Oxford Dictionary defines both vegetarian and vegan diets: Vegetarian: a person who does not eat meat or fish, and sometimes other animal products, especially for moral, religious or health reasons. Vegan: a person who does not eat or use animal products. According to Neal Barnard, M.D., every five years the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are updated and issued by the Department of Agriculture and Health and Human Services. The new guidelines, which were updated Jan. 31, emphasize vegetarian and vegan diets. The guidelines show how vegetarian-style eating patterns are associated with overall better health

such as lower levels of obesity, a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, lower total mortality and lower blood pressure. Although the guidelines do not specifically state that a reduction of animal products in your diet will provide you with better health, they do suggest Americans should reduce the amount of saturated fats and cholesterol, which translates to most meat products. The vegan diet is the more beneficial of the two since it excludes all meat products. Being vegan has been associated with obesity and diabetes prevention. For some, excluding meat from their diet is not an option and if you fall under that category, increasing plant-based foods in your diet would be most beneficial to your health. This doesn’t mean that you can praise your “meat lovers” pizza because it has tomato sauce on it. There are many ways you can incorporate veggies into your diet. For example, making a side salad along with your meal at dinner will incorporate one to two servings of vegetables. You might find that you enjoy eating “the veggie way” more than you expected. I know when I started to explore the vegetable section of the super market, I found foods I didn’t even know existed. I even realized I liked some vegetables I had sworn off because I wasn’t familiar with them, such as beets and fennel. If you are interested in trying to become either a vegetarian or vegan, challenge yourself to change your eating habits and eventually your lifestyle. Take it one step at a time, set a goal and work toward it. When I first decided to become a vegetarian I gave myself four months to experiment and if I decided it wasn’t right, I would start eating meat again. I was nervous that I wouldn’t get enough protein, so I allowed myself to eat fish every once in a while. I gradually stopped eating fish and by the fourth month I no longer had any meat cravings. It has been almost exactly a year since I made my decision to adopt the vegetarian life, and I can say that I do not regret it at all. There have been nothing but positive outcomes from this decision. I would highly suggest that you at least incorporate one night in the week that is designated to a vegetarian meal. Happy eating! Peace, love and recycle!

LUCIO VILLA / Daily Titan

According to an Associated Press-Viacom poll, 60 percent of college students receive financial support from their parents. With costs rising as accessibility plummets, parents of students in the higher education system should be marching right alongside their children. I suspect that with ever-worsening austerity measures continually being excreted out the door of the state legislature, it will not be uncommon to see established office workers, engineers and salespeople actively involved in demonstrations on the side of students and faculty. Until that day, fellow intellectuals, march on! Demonstrate for your education, demonstrate for your future, but most importantly, demonstrate why the citizens of the great state of California should invest in you. Just as it was with the Founding Fathers, signing a declaration was not the end goal in and of itself, but it still was an important first step in the creation of a better world.

Visiting Vienna’s nightlife hot spots Cal State Fullerton makes a visit to the capital of Austria to view tourist hot spots as well as hidden gems

...Continued from page 1

CARMEN VARNER Daily Titan

Massive churches. Luxurious palaces. Shiny jewels. Colorful sunsets. Divine cuisine. Sounds like heaven, right? Almost. It’s Vienna. The city Vienna is the capital of Austria, a cool country that borders Germany and Italy. Austria is a German-speaking land, so I literally understood nothing. The city was clean, historically rich and overall a beautiful travel destination. The language The only word of Deutsche I knew before I went to Vienna was “danke,” which means thank you. My German did not improve whatsoever after arrival, but at least I seemed polite. The language barrier wasn’t an issue, as I spent most of my time traipsing the city and its plethora of museums. The hostel Should you ever find yourself in Vienna, stay at the Schweizer Pension, a cute little hostel. The rooms were clean and elegant, not at all as vomit-inducing as other hostels I’ve been to. Each morning, there was a scrumptious breakfast of bread, jam, granola, yogurt, various fruit preserves and cheeses, along with some type of juice, coffee or tea. The best places to visit Sisi Museum - This housed the grandiose gowns, pretty parasols and jaw-dropping jewelry that once belonged to Sisi, the former empress of Austria. Sisi’s collection of personal items and journal entries would make any girl envious of her luxurious lifestyle. However, she was eventually assassinated with a stab to the heart. I never wanted to forget the experience, so I bought a fabulous pair of Sisi-inspired earrings from the museum’s gift shop. They receive con-

stant compliments, will forever remind me of Vienna and are made of Swarovski crystal. Definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made. St. Stephen’s Cathedral - This Gothic church was so enormous, I failed to get the entire structure from top to bottom in a photo. The outer architecture was intricate and blackened over time by soot. Gargoyles perched at the top of the cathedral, fending off evil. The inside was like something out of a movie. The carved stone walls were sky high. Sculls, saints and confession booths were prevalent. Jesus and Mary peered down at me through many paintings. Hundreds of candles lit by those who prayed earlier in the day flickered gently. You don’t have to be Catholic to be swept away by the art, history and splendor

of such an old establishment. Imperial Apartments - Austria’s capital is home to many extraordinary palaces, such as the Imperial Apartments, which housed the royal Austrian family for 600 years. Each room amazed me with excessive amounts of decorations, furniture and rooms; they were gigantic and so ritzy. The rooms were lavishly decorated, some had gold-infused wall paintings, wall-to-wall murals and giant crystal chandeliers. The nightlife Vienna really struck a chord with me because it had an engaging night life, unlike humdrum Fullerton– where your only option is the bar, which is rather unfortunate if you’re under 21.

For Your Health: Ready for bikini season by MAHSA ZOJAJI

As the sun kisses our skin for just a moment, women on campus enter panic mode. As if juggling the last few weeks of school, work and our social lives wasn’t challenging enough, we now have to take on yet another task. Yes, ladies, it’s time to prepare for bikini season. But before you bend over backward, here are some easy tips to shed the pounds before the season begins. “It takes a lot of planning and preparation. You can’t expect to be bikini ready in less than four weeks,” said James Maynard, a kinesiology major and a personal trainer at the Titan Recreation Center. “You want to make sure you have a good mixture of cardio and good resistance training.” According to Maynard, the fastest way to shed the pounds would be to combine cardio and weights in one workout session. The quickest way to shed the weight is to work the hardest. With everything going on in our daily lives, it may be difficult to get to the gym three times a week. But it’s not about the time put in, it’s about the intensity. “It doesn’t matter how many times a week you work out,” Maynard said. “It’s about giving it 110 percent every time you do.” Spending time on cardio as well as spending time on your big muscle groups, such as doing squats, sit-ups and pushups, will increase your chances of showing results more quickly. Changing up your workouts will benefit you in the long run. “If I’m doing a really hard workout three times a week with cardio resistance, I’ll throw

in different kinds of training, like a spin class,” said Sarah Duncan, a senior kinesiology major. Also, it is important to incorporate weights in your workout sessions. Maynard reminds us that grabbing light weights won’t do much in helping you get bikini ready. He explains that women fear the more weight they take on, the more muscular they will look, and that is not the case. “It doesn’t matter how much weight you lift, it’s about repetition,” Maynard said. “Twelve to 15 reps is the magic number of 4 to 7 sets.” Ideally it’s recommended to break up the workout into two parts, with the first session focusing on your cardio and the second focusing on building body strength. Along with the workout sessions, it is also important to watch what you eat while preparing for bikini season. “It’s all about burning the amount of calories you take in so your body doesn’t retain the fat,” Duncan said. Do not refrain from eating meals throughout the day. Indulge in three or more small portions a day that include high protein, low carbohydrates, low fat and of course, water is essential. “I try to cut out as much carbohydrates that I can,” said Mary Zadeh, a junior business major. “I usually just stick to salads with grilled chicken and refrain from soda.” Snacking on fruits and vegetables every two hours is a way of obtaining natural carbohydrates and would help increase your chances of high metabolism, enabling you to shed the weight more rapidly.

nightly viewings of piano concerts projected onto huge screens; hundreds flocked each night to get a seat and view the pianist work his or her magic on the enormous screen. To be honest, I hated the piano concert; classical music is not my thing. But I did fall in love with the lively night scene. There were food booths and people chatting everywhere. Youth and grandparents alike came out at night. The night was always bustling; the murmur of voices remained constant. P.S. The drinking age in Vienna is 18. The lesson Both the obvious and minute details and destinations are key to enjoying any trip abroad. Visiting tourist hot spots is a must

for first-time travelers, but it is imperative to take in the little things as well. Of course I’ll remember the jumbo palaces and churches. But I’ll never forget getting lost in the palatial gardens with my sister, partaking in a photo shoot with the shrubbery to pass the time. I’ll recall swinging in a kid’s playground, holding my dress down so it wouldn’t fly up for all the Viennese high school boys playing basketball to see. I’ll envision memories of a yodel session followed by a film under the stars on a cold evening. The glow-in-the-dark stars handed out after the nighttime film remain stuck on my bedroom wall, glowing of Vienna as I close my eyes to sleep each night.

When asked about the importance of ethics in the public relations business, she said integrity is an important principle she always upholds. “It is never about lying,” Klein said. Students and board members present at the event found her presentation quite helpful and were impressed by her personality. “Erika was very friendly and I liked how she was willing to share her contacts with the students,” Padilla said. “Personally, I am not interested in fashion public relations, but I am sure the others got to learn about the whole process of fashion PR. The presentation seemed to be quite useful,” said PRSSA Advocacy Director Simon Oh, 22, a communications major. “We try to offer a diversity of speakers at our meetings to help our members,” said PRSSA President Christa Keizer, 21, a communications major. “A lot of students wanted to have a fashion PR expert because I think TV shows like The Hills made fashion really exciting.”

CATCHER: All-around leader looks to help Titans get back to NCAA Tournament form

Men’s Lacrosse Defeats Biola

...Continued from page 1 And as she jumped head first into the sport she’d grown up with, her family jumped right in with her. Games every weekend and distant tournaments were the norm, as Tsuchiyama’s family adapted to their daughter’s way of life. “My dad was president of the league and we would haul my brother and sister around to all the tournaments and it took over all of our lives growing up,” said Tsuchiyama, 20. Progressing into higher levels of travel ball even took her to matches in different states, making family life hectic but exciting for the Tsuchiyamas. Playing all four years on the Sonora High School Raiders softball squad, Tsuchiyama knew that a college scholarship was the next step in her softball career. So she sent hundreds of letters to various colleges around the country asking for scouts to come check her out. She was then contacted in her junior year by scouts from schools such as CSUF, Ohio State, Northwestern University and San Diego State. From her high school team, she was one of the first to receive many scholarship offers and be committed so early. She traveled around the country with her family to check the potential college candidates, going everywhere from Washington to Minnesota to choose the place she would spend the next four years of her life. But from the beginning, the choice to come to CSUF had been an easy one. Growing up as a batgirl for the Titan softball team, having coaches mentor her and the close proximity to her family made it the obvious choice. “(CSUF) was really kind of an easy choice for me because I’ve grown up around here … So I kind of felt at home,” Tsuchiyama said. The prestige and fame of CSUF’s softball team didn’t hurt either. With a team that holds a national championship and makes it to postseason almost every year, joining the ranks of the elite Titans was something she had dreamed about. “I have a lot of pride for it. It feels

The Cal State Fullerton men’s lacrosse club won its final game of the regular season on the road, 15-8, over the Biola Eagles Wednesday. The Titans (9-5, 3-1) jumped out to another quick start in the game against Biola and claimed a 7-1 lead at the end of the first quarter. They caged two more goals in the second and took the lead at halftime, 9-2. To close out an impressive regular season, the Titans scored six more goals in the final quarters to claim the road win over the Biola Eagles (7-9, 3-2). The CSUF men’s lacrosse club will begin the playoffs with a home game Saturday against Pepperdine. The game will start at 1 p.m. at Titan Track. The Pepperdine Waves went 5-4 overall and 3-2 in divisional play. Pepperdine and CSUF also shared a common opponent in the Concordia Eagles, who beat the Titans by a single goal (13-12) and beat Pepperdine by a final score of 11-4. If the Titans win Saturday against Pepperdine, they will likely get a chance of revenging their lone divisional defeat of the season in a probable matchup against Concordia in round two of the Southwestern Division II Conference playoffs. CAMILLE TARAZON / Daily Titan Titan sophomore catcher Ariel Tsuchiyama has started in all 38 games this season and has accrued 20 assists with only one error from behind the plate for a .994 fielding percentage.

good to know that other teams respect us and know who we are. They want to come play us and that’s the cool part about it,” Tsuchiyama said. The team and its players only continue to grow. One of the highlights of last season was beating the University of Texas, one of their biggest non-conference rivals. And this year Tsuchiyama not only connected with her pitching staff on a deeper level, but also hit the team’s first home run in Big West play this season. But this deep connection with the

team comes at a price, just as any other campus sport entails. With time only for practice, games, and homework, Tsuchiyama understood the commitment she made from the beginning. “It’s been the biggest part of my college life ... there isn’t much room for anything else and if there is [I’m] too tired to do it,” Tsuchiyama said. The team continues to grow because of deep bonds off the field, which instills trust on the field, according to Tsuchiyama. With the

teammates spending all their free time when not practicing by hanging out together, they have become a unified body that works together flawlessly. “It’s pretty fun, no one really has any problems with each other, but we know when it’s time to get serious and we do a really good job at it … There’s just this great chemistry,” Tsuchiyama said. Titan Head Coach Michelle Gromacki adds that their unity is also attributed to the Tsuchiyamas’ lead-

ership skills, which are essential to her position as catcher. Comparing her to a sponge that wants to soak everything up, Gromacki describes Tsuchiyama as very eager to learn. “She’s determined to be the best and has high expectations for herself. The team really responds to her too; she gives the players around her confidence,” said Gromacki, two-time Big West Conference Coach of the Year. Tsuchiyama hopes to continue playing softball even after college,

but also sees herself going into the medical field, which could collide with her time to play. But as a sophomore, she has much time to contemplate the details of her future. For now, she looks forward to the last two years on the softball team and the many memories she will make with her second family at CSUF. Next up for Tsuchiyama and the Titans, they will host the Pacific Tigers for a three-game set at Anderson Family Field, starting with a doubleheader Saturday at 2 p.m.

Set it, serve it, ace it One of two freshmen tennis stars, Megan Sandford strives for greatness MARIBEL CASTANEDA For the Daily Titan

New school, new classes, new friends and trying to fit in are just a few things a freshman faces. If those aren’t stressful enough, add tennis and you have the life of Megan Sandford. The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team welcomed Sandford from Orange Lutheran High School to the tight-knit group with open arms. Sandford, who has an overall singles record of 9-21, has been a positive addition to the team with her bubbly personality and hard work habits. The 19-year-old, who is an undeclared major and lives in the dorms on campus, said the team has been very helpful and nice through her transition. “It is hard for a freshman to make a big impact,” said Titan Head Coach Bill Reynolds. Reynolds said freshmen don’t have enough experience to compete with women who have four or five years of college experience. However, the lack of college experience does not deter Sandford, it only makes her work harder. “She is usually the first one out there before matches, hitting with our assistant coach (Ruya Inalpulat) and sometimes the last to leave,” Reynolds said. Juggling classes and practices is no easy task. Sandford has been doing well in dealing with the pressure of collegiate sports and academics by maintaining a 3.0 GPA. Sandford sums up her success to two main factors: study hall and good time-managing skills. “It is very difficult. After practice you’re tired and you have to go do schoolwork. So you just have to manage your time,” said Sandford. Most freshmen are singles players. The junior tournaments don’t offer much doubles play in younger years, so freshmen have a lot to learn. Sandford and her doubles partner, freshman Morgan McIntosh, are no exception. Sandford and McIntosh, who have a 1-7 Big West record and are 4-18 overall, have been improving throughout the season. The two have known each other for years and have a good friendship. But on the court, both have had to get used to playing as a solid unit. Contact Us at dtsportsdesk@gmail.com

CAMILLE TARAZON / Daily Titan Titan freshman Megan Sandford looks to score a point in one of her grueling matches.

“We’ve taken a lot of losses, but toward the end of the year we started to grow more as a team and learned each other’s strengths,” said McIntosh. Sandford has had to rise to the challenge of the higher, more competitive level of college tennis. Traveling is no hard task for Sandford, who loves it and has experienced it from a young age. Competing in tournaments and venturing with her father has prepared her to balance both academics and bouncing from place to place. Competing with top-ranked opponents such as Pepperdine is another story. Sandford, who admits it is hard work, said every year they play them and every year they will continue to improve. It is all about working through it. “They are a good school, but we are good too,” Sandford said. Anyone can see the women’s tennis squad is working hard in practice at Titan Courts every day from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The practices are more structured and demand more hours and dedication than most programs. It is difficult balancing a rigorous schedule of tennis and school, but Sandford is loving every minute of it. “The teachers are the best. They are very helpful and supportive. They understand that I am balancing two things plus a full schedule,” Sandford said. With all the hard work and dedication required, it is Sandford’s love of the game that keeps her going back to the courts. “I love the feeling of hitting a great shot. And also the competitiveness of

being on the court sweating, working hard and knowing that I accomplished something great that day,” Sandford said. Sandford discovered that sports opens the door to social life on campus, especially for freshmen. “It is easier to get integrated into the school when you play a sport because you have teammates that are older than you who have done it before and also you meet girls in study hall who are also freshmen and going through the same thing,” Sandford said. Sandford could not have gotten to where she is now without the support of her family, who have yet to miss a match. Mark and Julie Sandford, her parents who live in Orange Park Acres, were thrilled to learn Sandford would be attending a school so close to home. Sandford said her parents have always been encouraging in her career in tennis; her dad is like a second coach and her mom is her best cheerleader. “Megan is contagious. She is off the cuff, but intense. She has a good sense of humor. She is honest, does not mind working hard and you can count on her,” said Julie Sandford. Sandford came with high recommendations from her teaching pros after leading her high school to the Trinity League title and nabbing a spot to compete in CIF finals her senior year as the No. 2 singles player. Reynolds looks forward to a good solid four years from her. “I knew that she was kind of a diamond in the rough and that she definitely had potential to improve. And she is already showing that,” Reynolds said.
