What students really think about the fitness center will be made evident tonight after the votes are tallied. In the meantime, the Daily Titan has tried to gauge general opinion to see which way the vote might go. In its first survey conducted two weeks ago, the Titan interviewed 64 students, 40 of whom said they would vote no, 12 who said they would vote yes and 12 who were undecided. The survey was conducted by reporters walking around campus and asking students randomly. A second survey was conducted last week with closer results. Reporters interviewed 115 students, 54 of whom said they would vote against the proposed fitness center and $150 fee increase. Another 42 said they would vote
If you propose to build it, will they vote? That question will be answered today in a special election that will decide whether Cal State Fullerton students are willing to pay an extra $150 per semester to fund the construction of a new $41 million fitness center. The proposed center, put forth and supported by the Associated Students Executive Office, would contain a 5,000 seat arena, modern workout facility, racquetball courts, child care facilities, locker and shower rooms, a gymnastics center, climbing wall and a host of other features. The proposed site for this building is where student parking Lot B currently sits between Titan Student Union, Public Safety and the Physical Education building.

n CONFERENCE:
By LAURIE SCHULTZ Daily Titan Staff Writer
It is a type of crime that has not only one victim. Instead, an entire group of people who identify with that victim are also victimized. It is hate crime. Experts, practitioners, leaders and policy makers who deal with hate violence spoke Saturday morning at Cal State Fullerton as part of the Intercultural Relations Conference. They described hate crime, expressed their views on prosecuting it and shared their ideas on how to prevent it. Edward Dunbar of UCLA, who hosted the symposium, said 55 percent of hate crimes can be attributed to race and ethnicity, 37 percent can be attributed to sexual orientation, seven percent to religion, one percent to disability and one percent to gender. The Orange County Human Relations
Commission reported earlier this month that hate crimes and incidents dropped significantly in Orange County last year. However, Todd Rubenstein of the Los Angeles District Attorneys Office Hate Crime Suppression Unit, said these crimes are underreported and very likely will increase in the future. He said 75 percent of hate crimes involve great bodily injury, a condition where a victim may need to be hospitalized or may suffer broken bones. "Hate crime is an extremely violent crime," he said. "We have slides of cases where there is gasping, bludgeoning, bleeding and killing with claw hammers." Rubenstein added that hate crime parallels domestic violence. "In domestic violence, a slap is a prelude to murder. In hate crime, a slur is a prelude to murder," he said. Therefore, he said, hate crime must be dealt with harshly and severely in its early stage. He talked about a 28-year-old man who scribbled ethnic slurs on a clinic used by African Americans and Jews. Usually, when people spray graffiti on a building,
police give offenders a “slap on the wrist” and ordered them to clean it up, he said. This man was charged with a felony and his

CSUF receives ‘new’ equipment
n DONATION: Local company
donates electronic equipment worth over $12,000; some are skeptical as to its real value. By MELISSA MORRIS Daily Titan Staff Writer
Keyboards, monitors, hard-drives, printers and other expensive computer equipment were strewn across the walkway. Faculty members took turns eyeballing the goods—gifts from Printrak International given to Cal State Fullerton's University Advancement. The equipment was hardly old, hardly new, but faculty were anxious to get their hands on it. “We’re really hungering for technology in some places on campus,” Mary Ann Spraic, director of development of science and technology for University Advancement said.
In early February, Spraic faxed campus departments a notification of equipment coming from Printrak that would be free-ofcharge and available on a first-come, firstserve basis—and they responded. Printrak, an automated fingerprinting identification company, began donating computer and electrical equipment to CSUF in 1996. Printrak’s Director of Operations John Velker, said last year's donations totaled a $400,000 value. This semester, the company valued the donation at $12,500, Velker said. But Joel Robinson, technician for the School of Communications, said the equipment is worth a lot less. “Most of it was junk,” Robinson said of the equipment he saw, which was not the entire donation. The company gave away equipment worth thousands of dollars for one reason:

A policy to stop professors from earning royalties from self-authored material was approved by the Academic Senate on Thursday. Debate over amendments to the policy is expected to continue at future meetings before a final version is submitted to President Milton Gordon for approval. The issue, which was raised by a move at the state level to make collecting such royalties illegal, revolves around abuses by faculty members who have earned as much as $3,000 a semester off the sale of supplemental course packets. Last fall, Titan Shops Custom Publishing cut 64 checks to CSUF professors who authored their own course material. While most of those were for less than
$100, some 25 faculty members received around $200 and several checks reached $600. The highest paid professor, who was from the Management Science department, received $3,077 between January and June 1997. “Any royalty over $100 is abusive,” said Academic Senate chairman Vince Buck. Theater professor Bill Meyer spoke for many of the senators Thursday, saying: “What we’re deciding is who’s going to get money from students.” Offering required material as close to cost as possible, and avoiding “the appearance that personal financial interest has motivated their assigning course material,” are the primary concerns of the proposed statement. Although the majority of senators agree with this, not all want royalties banned entirely. Senator Donald Finn objected to removing an incentive to produce work for specialized classes that might not have suitable alternatives, and suggested an ethics committee be formed to watch for abuses. The policy was nearly amended to give deans the power to OK the collection of royalties on works they deemed necessary. The

already sounds like a sucker deal to me. As you start to peruse the Internet, you may be a little baffled by all the different types of file formats that are out there. There are .doc files from Microsoft Word, there are .pdf files from Adobe Acrobat. Those are just the beginning—then there are .wav, . ra, .avi, etc. A new browser will handle most of these without you even knowing what is going on, except an occasional question about wanting to install a plug-in. Then there are the compression files. Almost all Internet agencies will try to compress the files they offer for download. These will have a .zip or .arj ending to them. So the next question is: What do I do with those files now that I have downloaded them? On a Mac they will automatically unstuff and decode, but on a PC you will need an extra piece of software. PKZip
and WinZip are the two most popular, but there are a bunch of new programs in the compression game. Point your browser to http:// www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/ story_1905.html to get your hands on them. These are usually shareware programs, which cost nothing until the guilt finally gets the better of you. Some programs will allow you to copy files that are too big for one floppy onto several floppies (called 'disk-spanning'), or you can automatically scan the files for viruses when they are uncompressed (a.k.a. unzipped). You can even password protect compressed files to keep prying eyes out. Tired of these Internet sites that are constantly asking you for money? Well go visit http://www. yoyo.com/games/ and finally get the chance to go around asking others for things. Yoyodyne runs this site listing free sweepstakes and contests.
There are prizes in the hundreds of thousands of dollars here, not to mention cars, boats and vacation homes. They are constantly updating their list of contests, and some of them sound pretty good. Go try your luck without having to drive all the way to Vegas. You do not get free drinks here, but the cost of gas is much cheaper. There has been a great deal of noise lately about Microsoft and its browser, but Netscape actually still owns the lion's share of the market. Lots of you want the most out of the Internet experience, which means adding little extras onto a program, and Netscape is no exception. Luckily, there are people out there who have done the footwork and the testing for us.

nization runs several homes, like the one damaged by the rains, in Orange, Anaheim and Tustin. The residents are mentally ill, unable to get by without some assistance. The foundation provides employment and low-income housing to its clients plus a monthly stipend of $600 for housing expenses. The Orange house was one of ten houses run by the organization. A constituent of the foundation, Peter Ajamian, had no idea where he'd be without their help. “They have an understanding of my illness rather than an ignorance of it and they've helped me out so much. I feel comfortable working with them and am so happy to have a place to stay,” Ajamian said. A John Henry Foundation vol-
unteer, Otty Schaffer, said that the foundation provides the mentally ill a place where they can relate to one another. “It's important to know that these people are not alone,” Schaffer said. Theresa Boyd, co-chair of the John Henry Foundation, said the $50,000 used to repair the damage came from the organization's reserve fund. The foundation held a fundraiser Saturday in part to pay for the storm damage. Members of the Garden Grove organization were bowled over by a host of Hollywood stars at Yorba Linda Bowl. Even though celebrities do not always make the best
bowlers, no one at the John Henry Foundation was complaining. “We're really hoping this fundraiser will help,” Boyd said. Celebrities, such as Benjamin Salisbury from the TV show “The Nanny”; David Naughton co-host in Cybill Sheperd’s Mercedes commercials; and Carolyn Plante from the “The Hendersens,” were among many stars who took time out of their schedules to show off their bowling prowess. “I love bowling. This is great fund-raiser to help the community, other than just donating money, it was a great way to do it,” Salisbury said.
The Killingtons will be performing at the Pub Thursday at noon. Admission is free.

have more personable service.” A workshop, “I Want To Call You By Name, But Can’t Quite Get It,” was offered for the staff of Admissions and Records on March 13 and 20. By learning more about names, they hope to clear up confusion that arises during the data-entry process as well as to provide more friendly service to students, said Robert Ericksen, director of International Education and Exchange, who helped organize the workshop. “I asked one student to teach me how to pronounce her name,” Ericksen told the participants about his experience. “Twenty seconds of practice brightened her face and made her more comfortable because she knew it was important for me to learn her name.” The seminar briefly reviewed names from East Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese, Southeast Asian, Arabic and Middle Eastern cultures. Seven presenters in each session, including students and university staff from these countries or cultures, covered topics from correct pronunciation of each language to the background of how names are chosen, what they mean
and how they are ordered. Arabic names can be very lengthy, adopting many names from male ancestors, said Mohammad Al-Zaabi, an international student from Saudi Arabia. Sang Hun Lee, a Korean student, said it’s taboo to write a person’s name in red ink in Korea because it means the person is dead. In countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan and China, a family name preceeds a given name. People have no middle name in Cambodian, Thai, Korean, Chinese and Japanese cultures, other presenters said. “Middle names are very important in Vietnamese names because they enhance the meaning of a given name,” said Son Kim Vo, one of the presenters. “My given name is Son, which means mountain. Kim is my middle name, and it means golden.” Many Vietnamese parents give the same first name to all of their children hoping their children will recognize the importance of building family reputation and the retention of close relationship among the siblings, said Vo, coordinator of Intercultural Development Center.
on textbooks,” senator Leon Gilbert said before the vote was taken. “Professors should be committed to the moral high ground and keep prices as close to cost as possible.” Titan Shops Custom Publishing handles most supplemental course packets for CSUF professors. Penny Diaz, manager of Titan Shops Publishing, said they pay royalties to professors for original work alone. This excludes copies of information such as news articles or
other publications. Professors receive 4 cents for every page sold, a figure set by the Academic Senate years ago. A 100page pamphlet bought by 200 students, for instance, would earn $800 a semester. Diaz said that most professors receiving royalties are concerned about the prices, and some even waive their royalties.

ic’s fax, with the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the School of Human Development and Community Services responding next. Fred Zandpour, the associate dean of the School of Communications, accompanied Spraic to Printrak, where they selected equipment. Zandpour chose equipment he thought the school could use and said that without plugging everything in, it was difficult to determine whether the equipment was functional. “My estimate was 50 percent [of the equipment] was good,” Zandpour said. Robinson said when a donation is made, the equipment is normally checked out before it is accepted, but that was not the case this time— the School of Communications accepted the equipment without first
having Robinson conduct a routine inspection on donated items. “We don’t need to make work here, we have enough to do,” he said. Robinson, who looked-over Spraic’s list of items from the company, said he was under the impression that the equipment was coming directly from University Advancement. He later found out the equipment was actually from an outside donation, not an on-campus reshuffling of computer goods, which he said would have been more suitable to the School of Communication's needs. However, Zandpour said the equipment still saved the school an estimated $7 thousand to 8 thousand dollars. “It cost us nothing, just a $75 truck rental,” he said.
history decreases hate crimes, he said. Raul Asevedo, a senior majoring in liberal studies who attended the symposium, said he thought hate crimes may be caused by the dominant culture's lack of familiarity with other cultures and their limited exposure to them.

Controversy over this proposal revolves around money and potential use. The $150 fee would exceed any other mandatory fee by $80 and would increase non-tuition fees by 100 percent. One-third of the fee would go to campus financial aid programs as mandated by CSU Board of Trustees policy, but the remaining $100 would still be the largest fee increase ever. But beyond that is the debate over whether current students are willing to pay such a fee for a facility they will never get to use as students. The center will take an estimated four to five years to build, which means that only next fall’s incoming freshmen on the "six-year plan" will get to use it. Those who pay for it in the meantime will get to use it only after graduation, one semester for every semester paid into it. AS President Heith Rothman inserted this as incentive to those who may pay for the center but graduate before its completion, citing statistics that say a majority of CSUF graduates remain in Orange County. Opponents argue the center will unfairly charge those who have no interest in using the workout facility, which will be available for free student use—after the $150 fee is

yes and the remaining 19 fell into the “don’t know” category, meaning they either said they did not know about the proposal, were undecided or might not even vote. The Titan sports desk interviewed student athletes last week to get their opinions. Sixty students, constituting approximately 19 percent of the 325 student athletes on campus, were interviewed. Of those, 40 said they would vote yes on the center, 12 said they would vote no
paid at registration. Many are concerned with charging such a high blanket fee for something that is such a specialized interest. Rothman and other proponents say the complex will become popular once it is built. He has pointed to other campuses where students have enthuisastically welcomed similiar structures. Acting AS Administrator Harvey McKee cited the case of San Diego State, where 10,000 people signed up for memberships to a recently opened new recreation facility. Rothman and McKee have also said that students were opposed to the fee increase that paid for the current Food Court in Titan Student Union, which now serves thousands of students per day. On the flip side, students have questioned the cost in interviews with the Daily Titan. This fee is more than five times as much as the $21 student union fee increase passed in 1987. “If I want to work out I can go to Family Fitness and pay $20 per month,” has been a frequent response. Which way the election goes may come down to who turns out to vote. Student athletes, by all accounts, overwhelming support the proposal. Approximately 325 students participate on official school athletic teams while 894 students play intramural sports this semester. With the average turnout for vot-
ing in the spring numbering 2,500 votes, athletes could have a swaying impact on the result. If the two informal Daily Titan surveys hold up, the general student population will oppose the referendum, though not decisively. There has not been organized effort against the proposal to counter the AS Executive Office's profitness center campaign. The only semblance of organized opposition has come from philosophy student Andy Goldman, but the extent of his efforts has been getting enough signatures to form a temporary club so he could rent sign space in front of the Titan Student Union. Another catch in the process is AS's decision to call a special election for the referendum. According to AS bylaws, special elections can only be one day long. Rothman says Tuesday was chosen as the one day because that is when the highest number of students are in school. Nonetheless, students who do not otherwise come to school on that day will have to come on an off-day to cast their votes. Polling locations will be open today from 8:45 a.m. until 9 p.m. in the Quad area, in front of the Titan Student Union, and at the Mission Viejo campus.
and the final 8 were undecided. If this trend is consistent throughout the athletic department, 80 percent of athletes would vote yes on the center. Combining the results of the three polls, 239 students were surveyed. Of them, 44 percent indicated they would vote yes, 39 percent would vote no and the remainder were undecided. The undecided and the athletic department votes could have a tremendous influence on the result of the election. If the undecided voters vote no, they could muster the needed 50 percent to put the elec-
tion in their direction. If the undecideds vote yes, they would push that group well over the needed majority. If all the student athletes vote they could make a major impact on the vote. If all 325 athletes turn out to vote and 80 percent of them vote yes, that would equal 260 yes votes. If this happens and the past election turnout remains consistent, the athletes could comprise 10 percent of the vote—a number whose impact will depend on the total number of voters.

Bill Clinton, an American sex symbol Joe Florkowski ust how many women has Bill Clinton slept with and/or fondled? I want to know. Really. Apparently, Bill Clinton has become
some kind of superstud. Every day it seems more women, like skeletons, come out of Clinton’s closet. So when did this happen? At what point did Bill Clinton become the sexiest man in America? Or at what point did Bill Clinton believe that he became the sexiest man in America? He’s not that great. He’s old, pasty, pale, in charge of the most powerful nation in the world, graying, and a little overweight. And yet names like Willey, Lewinsky, and Jones keep popping up. Someone is lying, obviously, and given our country’s track record for the past 25 years for presidents who told the truth, I’m willing to give the ladies more credence to their claims. Now I could see where years of being with
Hillary could cause a man to be desperate for female contact, but I don’t think that the president should treat the Oval Office as his love den. You give a man control of the most powerful nation in the world and he thinks he can do anything he wants. I expect that soon Bill will start coming to press conferences nude and blame it on Kenneth Starr. Wolf Blitzer: “Mr. President, is there any reason you’re nude today?” Clinton:”It was Starr. He did it! He stole my clothes!” Blitzer: “Fine. But could you explain why you are wearing handcuffs?” Mike McCurry: “No more questions.” Opinion polls across the nation show that a lot
of people approve of the president’s job performance. They say the economy’s up, job loss is down, and South Park is funny. Or maybe that’s a different opinion poll. The people polled believe that Clinton’s bedroom performance shouldn’t affect his national performance. Many people in the nation say that what Clinton does in private doesn’t affect their approval of him. They say that his infidelities make him seem more human. I don’t want a human president. This does not mean I would vote for Newt Gingrich; Gingrich is just inhuman. I want Superman for president. I want a Harrison Ford, butt-kicking, take no prisoners kind of president. The president should not be just “human.” He should know what to do in crisis
situations, be able to outthink and outmaneuver other world leaders, and, basically, be above us all. That’s what a president is supposed to be. I don’t want my president to be tripped up by his own staff. Maybe I should restate that. So I’ve decided to come up with a proposal for the nation. Write to your congressman’s office (unless it’s Jay Kim, in which case you may want to address your correspondence to his cell) urging for this proposal. Instead of neutering Buddy the White House dog perhaps we should take the scissors and cut off the president’s, uh..... veto power.

I am writing in response to the article written by Erin Whiteside on Tuesday, March 17. I live in the dorms and of the people I have talked to around here only one person supported the referendum. Based on that I have no idea why Erin Whiteside is using us as an example to vote for this referendum. There are only 380 people living in the dorms so compared to the 24,000 that go here we are hardly significant. We have a basketball court here at the dorms that in my mind is more than adequate, and when it is not you can always go the gym at night and get a game with very little wait. any), and a phone number so we can verify your letter.

Fullerton's gym is hardly mediocre. I consider it a palace compared to the high school I came from. The sports teams cannot even fill up the gym that we have not; just ask Erin Whiteside, whom you failed to mention is a member of the women’s basketball team. That sounds like a conflict of interest to me, another reason for me to believe that this new complex is for intercollegiate athletics and not for the students at all. You have to know darn well that if the athletic teams have the choice to play in a decent gymnasium or a new complex they are going to pick the new complex so why don't you come straight with us and tell us that it is for the sports teams and save us the trouble of being screwed later. Ask Erin Whiteside why, if area high schools have better facilities than us, they choose to play on our facilities?
I swear that I see high schools playing softball on one of the fields, the Big West baseball tournament is routinely played on our campus, this year the Pac 10 wrestling conference tournament was in our gym, PCC plays basketball and volleyball in our gym, high school football games are routinely played in our football stadium. If Troy High School has such good facilities why don't they move everything over there? Maybe next time you should indicate that your columnist is a member of a intercollegiate team here on campus. As a communications major I had to take Communications 233 and I learned all about ethics and conflicts of interest, and this sounds really similar to one of the examples I read about during class.

Titans give up spot at the top n BASEBALL: Team loses
twice to LBSU, including ninth-inning nail biter on Sunday. By BRIAN DIERIEX
Daily Titan Sports Photo Editor It was supposed to be the battle for the Big West, and only on Sunday did it hold true. No. 10 Cal State Fullerton (19-9, 7-2), which took the first game of the series 9-2, and Long Beach State (16-9, 8-1) went into the ninth inning of Sunday’s game knotted up at six runs each. Terrmel Sledge ledoff by slamming a Marco Hanlon (4.30, 0-2) two strike pitch over the center field fence. Chuck Lopez followed with a single in the gap in right-center field, and Paul Day dropped a blooper into right field. Hanlon then came back to strike out Jason Berni, but Jason Yount added another home run to put the 49ers up 10-6.
“When they got their hits we were ahead in the count, we just had mental lapses out there and we can’t have that,” Titan starter Benito Flores said. “We have to have that killer instinct to put guys away.” Greg Jacobs relieved Hanlon and retired the next two batters to end the inning. The Titans opened their half of the ninth with a lead-off home run of their own by Ryan Owens. One out later 49er pitcher Jason Marr hit David Bacani, and Reed Johnson, 2-for-3 in the game, whacked a ball that grazed off third baseman Curt Lee’s glove to get safely on first. Johnson also hit his fifth home run of the season in the seventh inning to tie the score at six a piece. After Johnson, Jacobs knocked a triple off the fence in left-center field, driving in Bacani and Johnson and bringing the Titans within one. With Jacobs on third, and one out, Chris Beck, who has been the Titans’ hottest hitter, struck out on a 3-2 pitch.
Oetgen pitches no-hitter for win over No. 4 OSU
n SOFTBALL: Almost per-
fect game makes up for not-so-perfect tournament for Titans. By JEFF HOWE
Daily Titan Staff Writer Jana Oetgen was as close to perfect as anyone could get. Unfortunately, one missed catch cost her a perfect game. In the final game of pool play for the Kia Klassic Tournament on Friday, Oetgen pitched a no-hitter to No. 4 Oklahoma State for a 1-0 win. “In the bottom of the seventh, with two outs and two strikes I looked up and said, ‘Oh my God, she has a nohitter,’” said third baseman Christy Sears. “I think everyone punched me.” With two out in the fifth inning, center fielder Rachel Olvera dropped a fly ball for an error, allowing a base runner on and erasing Oetgen’s perfect game. Oetgen did not allow a walk all game. “We just really wanted to win that game for Jana,” said Titan Head Coach Judi Garman. Oetgen, along with catcher Stephenie Little and infielder Kristy Osborne, previously played at OSU. “For me, it was just revenge,” Oetgen said. Championship play began for the Titans on Saturday, and the results were less than impressive. CSUF faced off with San Diego State on Saturday, and the Aztecs capitalized on three Titan errors to take the game 3-0 and knock CSUF into the consolation bracket. “It seems like once you have one error, it just goes in cycles,” Oetgen said. Tara Atkins led SDSU by shutting down the Titan offense for her fifth
win, despite allowing five walks. In the consolation bracket, CSUF played one game, and it was a grudge match. CSUF then faced UNLV and pitcher Brandi Isgar — a former Titan. Isgar allowed two earned runs over seven innings to beat her former squad. “Brandi just pitched really, really well,” Garman said. Garman intentionally walked Isgar in the sixth, and the Rebel pitcher smiled as ball four was delivered, seemingly knowing that something was going to happen. She was right. With runners on the corners, first baseman Kelly DeArman doubled to drive in two, providing all the offense UNLV would need for the 4-2 win. Playing well against two top-five teams in Arizona and OSU, then losing to regional teams like SDSU and UNLV, puzzled the Titans. “Against Arizona, if we had done a few things differently, we could have won,” Sears said. “It was a complete turnaround versus SDSU and UNLV. You never know what team is going to show up.” Garman agreed. “We can’t win games if we wait until the sixth inning to score,” she said. “Our bats have gone deadly quiet. It’s frustrating; we’re not hitting the ball like we’re capable of.” Despite the lack of offensive output, Garman said it is the mental aspect of the game that she is continually trying to work on with her players. “Right now, I don’t think the team believes we can win when we show up,” Garman said. “They just wait and see if we can win and the teams are too tough for that.” As for on-again, off-again power for the Titans, Sears said “maybe we get too comfortable and try to get base hits instead of having good at-bats.”
Kevin Duck ended the Titan rally by grounding out to first base. “We couldn’t stop them and they did a good job offensively,” Horton said. “It was our turn to step up to the plate and help (our pitching staff), but we came up one run short. We had a good run at it in the ninth but we couldn’t get it done.” Benito Flores (5-0, 2.35),who started for the Titans, pitched only six innings because of fatigue and the flu. “He didn’t have that much gas in the tank and he gave us all he had,” pitching coach Dave Serrano said. The Titan’s ERA of 2.99 before the series rose to 3.53, as the 49er offense totaled 29 runs in the three-game series. In Saturday’s game, the Titan pitching staff was pounded by the 49er offense as LBSU drove in 17 runs on 14 hits for a 17-9 win. It was the most runs surrendered by the Titans this year. “We didn’t play the kind of defense and we didn’t have the type of pitching on the mound that we have been,” right-fielder Aaron Rowand said. “We

Softball survives scare, then romps over last-place Aggies n SOFTBALL: Titans edge
Aggies 4-3, then go on to roll over USU 10-2 in second game of the doubleheader last night. By LANDON NEGRI
Daily Titan Staff Writer It’s difficult to fathom which Utah State club was the real Aggies on Wednesday night — the one that Cal State Fullerton’s softball team barely got past in the first game, or the one the Titans buried in the second. Then again, the same thing could be said about the Titans. In a Heckyl-and-Jyde twi-night
doubleheader, the Titans rallied to edge lowly Utah State 4-3 in the first game, and then blew the Aggies out via the mercy rule and a 10-2 count in the second game. After struggling with four runs in the first two games, the Titans blasted 13 hits, grabbing an 8-run lead by the end of the fifth inning and causing the mercy rule to be called. “We took the pressure off in the second game, and we just relaxed and went up there and hit the ball,” said CSUF’s Christa Saindon, who went 2-for-6 with two RBI. “We’ve learned that we can’t put added pressure on ourselves.” The victories moved the Titans to one game above .500 (6-6 in confer-

ence, 16-15 overall) and right back in the thick of the Big West Conference standings. Utah State dropped to 1-7, 7-12. “The Big West is now totally up for grabs,” Titan Head Coach Judi Garman said. “It’s crazy. Everybody is beating everybody.” In the second game, the Titans just beat up on the Aggies. After taking a modest 4-2 lead in the third inning, the Titans exploded in the fourth. Chrissy Hartman started things with RBI-single that scored Nikki Hart. After Saindon added her own an RBIfielder’s choice, Christy Sears drove in three runs with a double, extending the Titans’ lead to 9-2. Rocky Medina added an RBI-single to put the mercy
rule in effect, barring Utah State runs in the bottom half of the fifth. “If coaches could ever figure out why players go into slumps,” Garman said, “that would be the key. ... If we can just hit the ball, we’ll win.” Donna Coombes (6-5) pitched five innings of four-hit ball — including sitting the Aggies down in order in the fifth inning to clinch the win for herself and the Titans. Amy Settlemeier (0-1) was rocked for 13 hits and 10 runs in 3 2/3 innings in her second start of the season. In the first game, Utah State scored all of its runs in the third inning to take a 3-1 lead. Chrissy Hartman gave the Titans one back in the fourth when she scored
Kristy Osborne on a groundout. CSUF took the lead for good in the fifth on consecutive RBI by Jana Oetgen, who walked with the bases loaded and Kate Degener, who singled. Oetgen (6-6) pitched a completegame seven-hitter for the victory. USU’s Tara Thompson gave up six hits in 4 2/3 innings for the loss. The games also gave the Titnas a chance to rebound from a tiring Kia Klassic tournament, although they were out of it by Sunday, providing a day of rest. “Yes, we would have rather won those games,” Garman said. “But having Sunday off did help us to get some rest.” Next up for the Titans is a tournament at Georgia Tech over the weekend.
Ti t a n g y m n a s t M a r i a n n e Griffen earned a spot as an allarounder in the NCAA Western Regionals in Washington with a solid performance at the Big West Championships on Saturday. “I think as a freshman she has done a super job this year,” Titan Associate Head Coach Julie Knight said. “I think with her competing in such a big meet, and in a pressure situation, the better she’ll get.” She scored a 37.775 in the allaround in the four-team meet at Boise State on Saturday. As a team Cal State Fullerton (187.05) did not fair as well, placing third behind Utah State (194.425) and Boise State (194.275). The Titans did however edge out UC Santa Barbara (186.475). Things started off fine for the Titans, as they brought in a 47.15 team score on vault. Michele Lotta, Elizabeth Schneider, Natalia Acosta and Griffen all scored 9.5 or better. But the Titans then fell apart on the uneven bars, as four gymnasts scored under nine. Christy Lutz and Griffen scored a 9.5 and a 9.45 respectively on the uneven bars. A discouraged Titan team then headed to the balance beam without Cortney Bogart, one of the teams’ top performers on that event. “Bars was rather disastrous for us,” Knight said. “Beam could have gone either way, they were very discouraged going into it. They fought hard to stay on, and I was proud of how they performed.” After two solid performances by Schneider (9.475) and Tammy De la Cruz (9.325), the Titans stumbled into trouble once again. Natalia Acosta (8.425), Griffen (9.025) and Lutz (9.225) struggled to stay on the balance beam, all of which have scored 9.7 or higher during the season. CSUF came back strong on the floor exercise scoring a season high of 47.975. The Titans were led by Schneider (9.625), Griffen (9.7), Lutz (9.7) and Acosta (9.75). The Titans finished eighth in the Western Region behind UC Davis. UC Davis’s 188.462 placed them just above CSUF’s 188.044, as of March 17. Acosta missed the cut to compete in the all-around at the regional championships, but she is the first alternate.

Track sings the blues n TRACK: Gualco breaks
school high jump record in her first meet of the season. By KERRY MURRAY
Daily Titan Assistant Sports Editor It was a blue ribbon Saturday for the Cal State Fullerton track and field team at the Northridge Invitational this past weekend. “We had several people have first place finishes,” Titan Head Coach John Elders said. “I came away from the meet feeling really good about where we are at this season.” Seniors Erin Remy and Alison Livermore led the CSUF distance pack with first and second place finishes respectively in the women’s 1500-meter run. Remy earned a personal best with a time of 4 minutes, 45.8 seconds in the event and Livermore trailed close behind, running a seasonal best 4:50.06. Livermore said she would like to drop her 1500m time down into the 4:40s, but noted that she will mainly be focusing on her 5000-meter time for Big West competition. “At this point in the season, I’m just trying to improve my times,” Livermore said.
Senior Sarah MacDougall also earned a first-place finish in the 3000-meter with a time of 10 minutes, 26.01 seconds. Freshman Loren Gualco, who just finished her first Titan basketball season, broke the CSUF record in the women’s high jump with a 5-7 3/4 jump. “I think Loren is at the cusp of competing with the national best,” Elders said. On the men’s side, the Titans’ 1600meter sprint medley finished first with a time of 3 minutes, 34.05 seconds. Junior Omar Anderson and sophomore Quincy Sims ran the 200m portion of the race, junior Mike Hem ran the 400m leg and senior Phil Sitner anchored the team with his 800m performance. “The sprint medley came down to a lean at the line,” Elders said. “It was probably one of the most exciting races of the day.” Sims also leaped a seasonal best in the triple jump with 47-5 jump. Senior Gary Van Sluis took second in the men’s pole vault with a 16-feet clearance. The Titans were not scored as a team because Saturday’s competition was an invitational. “It was kind of a low key meet,” Elders said. “Although the meet did offer decent competition.”
