Sorority clotheslines domestic abuse Lambda Theta Alpha leads project against violence on women By JENNY STAR LOR Daily Titan Staff
T-shirts hang on tree trunks as if someone had strung a line of clothing to dry. On second glance these garments reveal confessions of abuse. To garner awareness of domestic violence, the women of Cal State Fullertonʼs Gamma Lambda Chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. hosted The Clothesline Project. “We do this twice a year,” said Gaby Torres, sorority president. “Itʼs a way to gain awareness about the impact [domestic abuse] can have on someoneʼs life.” The YWCA Women In Need Growing Strong (WINGS) program of the San Gabriel Valley Chapter provided the shirts. “These shirts initiate dialogue,” said Amanda Turek, community outreach and development manager. “They are the undeniable truths that there are witnesses to
abuses.” The Clothesline Project was founded in 1990 by the Cape Cod Womenʼs Agenda in Hyannis, Mass. The project has four goals: assist survivors or people who have lost a loved one during the healing process; learn, educate and spread awareness of the extent of abuse against women; provide an association; and support groups for other communities to begin their own Clothesline Projects. Different colored shirts are used to depict the type of abuse. Yellow, beige and tan are for women who have been battered or assaulted. Red, pink and orange are for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted. Blue and green are for women who have survived incest or child sexual abuse. Purple and lavender are for women who have been attacked because of their sexual orientation. Black are for women who have been gang raped. White are for women who have died as a result of domestic violence. Multicolored shirts are for women who have experienced more than one type of violence.

CSUF alumni support Titans give more university development than lip-service Former Titans serve as main source for school fundraising By JIMMY STROUP For the Daily Titan
The proposed College of Business and Economics Building Lab renovations; the new Performing Arts Building; what do these things have in common? Fundraising. Every year, Cal State Fullerton collects anywhere from $7 - 9 million in donated funds from various foundations, corporations and family members of current students. Pamela Hillman, the vice president of University Advancement at CSUF, said most of the money
comes from alumni. “When more alumni give back to CSUF [it means] the better the health of the institution,” said Nancy Byrne, the College of Communications director of development. “The more alumni [who] give back, the better support we have from the community, which makes us better contenders for funds from corporations and foundations.” Higher alumni participation shows a more vested alumni population, Byrne said. Last spring, Steven G. Mihaylo, a 1969 alumnus, donated $3 million toward the new College of Business and Economics Building, which will be named in his honor. Hillman said only a small portion of the collected donations – $150,000 to $200,000 – isnʼt given
a purpose by the donor. University President Milton A. Gordon and the Presidentʼs Administrative Board dole out the money – along with the pledges that are earmarked for certain departments or projects. A small portion goes to student government, too. “Many different areas on campus receive funding, but the largest areas currently have been for capital projects, scholarships and academic programs,” she said. “Some funds are designated to student affairs – especially through athletics – but not a set percentage.” Pledges arenʼt always geared toward student-oriented projects either. Byrne said one of the largFUNDING 4
Volunteering students provide community help in various areas By PAUL SAIEDI For the Daily Titan
Students mobilize every semester to help the environment, the homeless and illiteracy through Cal State Fullertonʼs Volunteer and Service Center. The center is located on the lower level of the Titan Student Union in room two. To get involved, students can go to the center and sign up for different programs and a volunteer coordinator will notify the student when the event comes around, said Amy Mattern, volun-
teer coordinator. “Itʼs a series of events that brought me to the center. I just want to make a change,” said Felipe Salazar, student volunteer coordinator. “People donʼt know how large the homeless problem is. When they find out they want to help.” Up to 600,000 men, women and children go homeless each night in the United States, according to a report from The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. By volunteering through Hunger Coalition, students can focus their service activities on helping with hunger and homeless issues. “You can really see your results.

Myspace makes room for everyone’s space Networking Web site rapidly growing as interaction option By LAUREN PADILLA For the Daily Titan
Myspace.com has cast a peculiar trance on many Cal State Fullerton students. This virtual society has provided an outlet and resource for students to see and be seen. “If I donʼt get to check my Myspace for a whole day, I go into a panic,” said CSUF student Tyler Busnardo, who has
been a Myspace member since late 2003. “What if I have new friend requests or comments? Sometimes itʼs embarrassing; Iʼm like addicted,” Busnardo said. For those who have been locked away in a dungeon with no ties to the outside world, Myspace is a big networking system where you can create your own community of friends for free. It provides users with the ability to post blogs, pictures, music videos and comments. It helps users network and find long lost friends, classmates and co-workers. Business Week Online report-
ed that the Web site has over 24.2 million members, was visited more last month than popular sites like Google, and gains about 150,000 members a day. Its popularity has received attention from News Corp.ʼs Rupert Murdoch, who purchased Myspace.com for $580 million from parent company Intermix Media last July. Matt Haskins, an American Studies professor, said one of the reasons Myspace might have taken off is due to its participatory nature. “Myspace and blogs in general allow people to participate instead of being mere receivers, which
they might experience with radio or television,” Haskins said. “Through sites such as these and more specifically with blogging, we are able to transform the media, anyone can have a voice,” he said. Haskins realizes that this phenomenon may have some scary implications when it comes to safety. He said with sites like Myspace, everyone is allowed a voice. Because of the right to free speech, it will be very difficult to prevent the wrong hands from utilizing this powerful medium, Haskins said. Sociology Professor Michael
Perez said replacing face-to-face interaction with popular technological devices like Myspace poses sociological drawbacks. “By retreating behind the anonymous cover of the computer, we are removing the human element of our society,” he said. “We are skipping an important element of our societyʼs solidarity and missing many other dimensions of communication.” Haskins said individuals interact more with machines than people. “It seems technology is opening many doors … and we can only wait to see how things pan out,” he said.

Wade,” the current Supreme Court nominee wrote in an internal Justice Department memo on May 30, 1985. Referring to a high court decision to review two abortion-related cases at the time, he asked, “What can be made of this opportunity to advance the goals of bringing about the eventual overruling ... and in the meantime, of mitigating its effects.”

Local Father jailed for daughterʼs fatal crash SALINAS - A King City father was sentenced to two years in jail for giving alcohol to his teenage daughter before she crashed head-on into a vehicle, killing two people. Dennis McCormick, 53, was sentenced Tuesday for providing alcohol to the then-17-year-old girl. He pleaded guilty Oct. 13 to felony child endangerment, buying alcohol for a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. But Monterey County Superior Court Judge Robert Moody ruled Dennis McCormick wasnʼt legally responsible for the deaths of a Salinas teenager and a Bakersfield mother of three caused by his drunken daughter. McCormick was also placed on five yearsʼ probation. McCormick bought $68 worth of alcohol, including vodka, for his daughter before she drove drunk and crashed a GMC Yukon head-on into a pickup truck near Lake San Antonio on May 29, 2004. McCormickʼs daughter was sentenced in March to the California Youth Authority until she turns 25 in December 2011 after being found guilty of second-degree murder and eight other charges for driving drunk and causing the deaths of Jada Benge and Haley Bettencourt, the 17-year-old friend of McCormickʼs daughter who was thrown from the vehicle and killed.

Beer company looks for new female spokesmodels By JESSICA HORN For the Daily Titan
While many Cal State Fullerton students are running back and forth from school, some students are unaware of potential side jobs – especially around the holidays. Miller Lite Brewing Company will be hiring three to four new female spokesmodel team members in mid-January for the Fullerton and Anaheim area. “We try to get a full team of anywhere from 10 to 15 girls per manager,” said Tracey Botts, sales representative and manager of the Fullerton and Anaheim team. Miller Lite spokesmodels work their shifts in pairs and are compensated $30 per hour with shifts that usually last two to four hours. The duties of a Miller Lite model involve sharing the facts about the beer to bar patrons and challenging non-Miller drinkers to the “Blind Taste Test” of Miller versus
another beer. The women, as well, set up computers to get customer information for upcoming promotional events or to print out Miller sports trading cards. “Many promotions start around [5 p.m.], so if you have a full-time job, it works,” Botts said. She added, other promotions start at 10 p.m., which works for many college students. Cal State Fullerton sociology student Aimee Waddle, 23, is in her first season as a Miller Lite spokesmodel. “A typical shift starts off with greeting all of the restaurant or bar staff members, from the manager to the host staff,” Waddle said. “We then walk from table to table, either giving out ʻBar Bucksʼ as a reward to those already drinking Miller Lite or promoting the drink to non-Miller drinkers.” Along with 12 units of school, a job at Disneyland and the Anaheim Pond, she said being a Miller Lite spokesmodel fits her schedule. “Spokesmodels have to be outgoing and very personable, as well as go-getters who can work individually and donʼt have to be supervised every second of the day.” Botts said. “[Women] must also be energetic and keep up a pleasing-to-the-eye appearance,”
Botts said. Bottʼs Miller team includes three “team leads” who work fulltime, while the rest of the team is scheduled between school and their other jobs. The women receive their schedule through e-mails a month in advance. It is their responsibility to get shifts covered if needed. “I think it would be interesting and a good way to meet people,” said Shayla Matthews, a 19-yearold business major. Interested female CSUF students who are at least 23 years old, have nights open in their schedule and are interested in becoming a Miller Lite spokesmodel can send their resume, along with a full-body photograph to Botts. Once a resume is reviewed, potential spokemodels will be called in for interviews and auditions. Newcomers must attend a twohour orientation where they will learn the rules of the job and get their uniforms. The uniforms change each season; this season, girls wear a referee outfit and “penalize” any bar patrons not drinking Miller Lite. Resumes and photos can be sent to Tracey Botts at botts. tracey@mbco.com.

Group launches tour to promote college access Nonprofit group urges business, political leaders to boost funds The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO – A nonprofit group that wants to increase the number of California students attending college began a 20-city tour Wednesday to urge business and political leaders to boost state spending on higher education over the next decade. The Campaign for College Opportunity, a nonprofit coalition formed last year to improve access to college education, first wants state leaders to agree on a target level of college participation. About 34 percent of Californiaʼs 18- to 24-year-olds currently attend community college or universities. The group also released a survey it commissioned from the University of California, Berkeleyʼs Survey Research Center, which concluded that for every $1 the state invests in higher education, it will receive
$3 in return through higher income tax revenue and savings on social services and prison funding. A $1 “savings” actually costs the state as much as $2 in higher social service spending, according to the report. The state now covers 27 percent of the budget for the 10-campus University of California system, compared to about 50 percent 25 years ago. “We are in danger of going from great to just good enough,” said Henry Brady, director of Berkeleyʼs research center and a co-author of the study. “Our high school graduation rates are declining in relation to the rest of the country, and college attendance rates decline.” Earlier this month, University of California regents voted to raise fees for the fifth straight year, meaning systemwide fees for instate undergraduates will rise 8 percent. Annual costs at UC campuses will be around $7,300 and about $3,200 at California State University campuses. Through February, the Campaign for College Opportunity will meet with business and political leaders
in 20 cities to push for an increase in college funding from the current $12 billion a year. The group hopes the state will increase its funding share between 25 percent and 33 percent over the next 10 years, as attendance rises at Californiaʼs community colleges and universities. The campaign also wants the state to establish a policy that would make fee increases more predictable. A lack of any such policy now means fees rise, sometimes dramatically, during lean budget years and remain stable or even drop during healthier times. “What weʼre asking for is more gradual, more moderate and more predicable increases that are tied to financial aid incentives for the students,” said Abdi Soltani, executive director of the Campaign for College Opportunity. The group – which has offices in Oakland, Los Angeles and Modesto – comprises the California Business Roundtable, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the Community College League of California.

sive relationships,” Turek said. “Confiding in someone [and] breaking the silence can help.” The WINGS domestic violence services have different ways to offer help. A 24-hour helpline is available to anyone who would like to receive crisis intervention counseling. If women are not ready to get out of an abusive relationship, they are able to call the helpline to receive support anonymously.
If the situation becomes life threatening, the WINGS shelter is available for women and their children for up to 45 days. The shelter provides provisions, legal assistance, guidance and counseling to rebuild their lives. Turek said there is also an outreach center for counseling and a childrenʼs program to help the victims of the WINGS Program. For those who are afraid to reach out for help, Janet Perez, Lambda Theta Alpha historian, said the informational booth is a good way to learn and get help secretly. “People can pass by and realize
this is the help they need,” Perez said. “Our main purpose is to bring out support for people who need it.” According to a WINGS pamphlet, domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44. It is more common than automobile accidents, muggings and cancer deaths combined. “[Domestic violence] is an issue that people donʼt want to look at, but we canʼt ignore it,” Turek said. For the YMCA WINGS 24-hour helpline, call (626) 967-0658.

Perry said he thinks the government should contribute enough to
construct new buildings without private money. He also said that in the meantime, fundraising will have to remain a staple of funding for things like new buildings. “I just donʼt think the people who would spend money on education would be able to get elected,” Perry said.

The Project Read program focuses on fighting illiteracy by pairing students from CSUF with children at the Anaheim Interfaith Shelter. Two million people in California are illiterate, according to a report by the National Adult Literacy
Survey. Students who participate in Project Read make a semester long commitment to spend two hours a week teaching and interacting with illiterate children, said Laurie Portacio, Project Read project coordinator and Volunteer and Service Center intern. “Students should do nice things in the spirit of service.

Andy Wirth and Emily Loosey dress as Hogwarts students for the first showing of Harry Potter.
espite the 90 degree weather, 17-year-old Amanda Fox sits on a blanket in front of the Edwards Cinema at the Irvine Spectrum. Clad in a black skirt, white dress shirt, black sweater and her best Gryffindor robe, Fox waits eagerly for the release of the latest installment in the Harry Potter series: “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” As she wipes the sweat from her forehead, she turns to the people waiting in line behind her. Theyʼve never met before. And yet, just discussing the film gives them something to bond over. Fox shifts her body behind a pillar, attempting to shield her eyes from the glaring sun. Later, her eyes widen with surprise when she discovers the Harry Potter-isms she and her new friends have in common including their favorite character, a book within the series and their identification with one of the houses at Hogwarts. Fox is not alone. Itʼs just after 2 p.m. and the line for the midnight screening has reached 30 people. For fans like these, waiting in long lines is just one side of the fan experience. “The only way to see the movies and have an allaround good experience is to be with the hardcore fans during a midnight showing,” Fox said. Once the sun set, the crowd was halfway around the building for the IMAX screening line. “The theater is full of enthusiasm and nearly everyone dresses up as a character,” Fox said, pointing to her costume. “Iʼm dressed as Hermione Granger, one of the main kids in the movie. I can do it here without feeling uncomfortable because everyone else is participating. Doing it any other time would make me feel awkward because I donʼt like being the only person to dress up.” Clusters of people stand together dressed in homemade Harry Potter costumes similar to those featured in the series. They participate in a wide variety of discussions and activities to keep themselves entertained before the big event. A woman in a green Slytherin robe reads “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” to her boyfriend as bystanders listen attentively. A boy watches a screening of one of the previous films on his laptop. But these are just a few ways aficionados display their loyalty to Harry Potter fandom. “A fandom is basically a group of people who get together and share their love for something, such as what weʼre doing here for Harry Potter” said Jennifer Kochanski, pointing to her husband and the several people sitting in lawn chairs near her in line. “Iʼm 27, married and here with several of my friends who are the same age as I am. However, Iʼm conversing with people who are half my age and others who are at least twice my age,” she said. “The great thing about doing this type of activity is that all of us have something to contribute, and it doesnʼt matter if youʼre 14, 30, or even 50 years old.” Kochanski laughs as she points to a male teenager three places behind her in line. “He isnʼt even that familiar with Harry Potter. Over the last few hours, those of us around here have caught him up on what has been going on in the series. Thatʼs what fans do. We watch each otherʼs backs and help to inspire others,” Kochanski said. For those who havenʼt quite found their way into Potter fandom yet, Kochanski and Fox have a few suggestions on how to quickly become absorbed into the Potter culture. “The quickest way to introduce someone to the
series is to have them watch the first movie, ʻHarry Potter and the Sorcererʼs Stone,ʼ” Fox said. “If the person likes that, then suggest watching the other two movies on DVD to catch up.” Kochanski agreed, adding that inviting people over for a Harry Potter screening party is a “great idea because a group of fans can participate and answer any questions that arise from the soon-to-be-fan.” While six of the seven Harry Potter novels have already been completed, only four movies have been made to date. So the book is the best option to fully catch up on the series, fans said. “The books are a quick read and could probably be read over a two-week span if someone is busy with work, school or a combination of both,” Kochanski said. “Rowling writes of such a wonderful world that just watching the movies doesnʼt give you the same magical feeling as the books do. The books are definitely the second step in becoming a fan and should definitely be read.” Web sites have become hubs for Harry Potter knowledge, fans said. Several sites are dedicated to Harry Potter meet-up groups, where fans in a selected area meet to discuss aspects of the Potter universe. Other Web sites discuss news surrounding the series. “I check Mugglenet.com every day,” Ashley Monteleone said, who was first in line for the midnight screening of the movie, owing it to the siteʼs information. She had been there since 8 p.m. the night prior to the screening. “My friends and I found out about this screening from there. The site has everything a fan needs: book quotes, news about the next book release, theories, and anything else you can imagine. I highly recommend it,” she said. For fans who seek to further their fan experience, costuming is the last but often most fun part of participating. With four student dormitories, each featuring its own custom color robe, figuring out where one belongs in the Potter world is as simple as looking deep within oneself or oneʼs wardrobe. “I consider myself a Slytherin, while others could be a Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or even Gryffindor. Each of those four houses feature qualities to which we identify,” said Monteleone, pointing to her own Slytherin shirt to show her house pride. “But dressing up isnʼt just being a student. Iʼve seen others here in line being other characters.” Professors, villains and even several elder characters can be cosplayed (short for costume-played) at these kinds of events. One person went as far as being Viktor Krum, one of the contestants in the TriWizard tournament during the Goblet of Fire movie who woos the heart of Harryʼs friend Hermione Granger. “Krum doesnʼt get enough attention, and I had parts of the costume already,” said Alan Sullivan, a public relations major at Cal State Fullerton. He was wearing an outfit similar to what Krum wore at the Yule Ball, a dance held during part of the movie. “It was all about making this experience fun and participating while waiting in line,” he said. The hours quickly passed for those in line and soon the small camps of lawn chairs and blankets were put away so that attendees could be brought into the IMAX theater for the screening. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” was given a round of applause from fans, with even a few loud whistles and cheers when the screening finished. Just after 3 a.m., the energy and excitement hadnʼt subsided, and fans clumped together outside to share their opinions. “This movie is the best one yet,” Fox said. “I really enjoyed it and it was definitely worth the wait in line.”

The streets of Story by GABRIEL FENOY Daily Titan Photo Editor
Hollywood Over the past two semesters, the Cal State Fullerton chapter of the National Press Photographers Association has set about several themed photo shoots, from a day in the life of Fullerton to dirty jobs and even fast food culture. Two weeks ago, the bright lights of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue flared in our lenses. We could have easily been mistaken for just another pack of misplaced, wide-eyed tourists from the Midwest; for several hours we simply fired our shutter buttons at anything eye-catching. So what did catch our eye at this world-famous intersection? Movie stars? Limousines crammed with gorgeous actors and well boozed rock stars? Or was it the latest blockbuster movie premier? By the time we finally shared our digital files, we found our images told of quite a different reality. We did not photograph the Hollywood of TV myth and movie dreams, like the one those poor Midwestern tourists must believe in. Instead, we captured the Hollywood 37.5 miles away from the CSUF campus, the Hollywood heaving with destitute homeless and poor people, the Hollywood congested with street performers working for pocket change, and junkies on the move and nice folks going nowhere. Too disheartening and depressing? Well, in our defense, the camera doesnʼt lie.

Making one final thrust and a perry
Recruiting the idea of the process
Titan fencers hope to make last season for coach memorable
Part 1 of 3: How the high school stand-out enters college sports By STEPHANIE PARK Daily Titan Staff
Recruiting for collegiate athletes is a secretive kind of process. The average college student doesnʼt know how these world-class student athletes end up on their campus, and the average high school student thinks they can never become a college athlete. Typically, a full year of preparation goes into recruiting a new student-athlete. “It was really a pretty quick process,” cross country Head Coach John Elders said of recruiting senior Maria Blazquez from Roosevelt High School in east Los Angeles. The first step in recruiting is the hardest to achieve. The athlete must participate in high school or community college athletics and perform exceptionally well. “I was decent,” Blazquez said. “I was city champ my junior year in the mile, and I placed 12th at CIF.” Senior cross country red-shirt Jordan Horn said of his track career at Alta Loma High School, “I did allright. I made it to the state meet twice for the two-mile.” College coaches regularly watch the high school games, scores and results for these top athletes. Sometimes the coaches have particular positions they want to fill, whereas sometimes they want players that can be molded into the teamʼs program. “Coaches go out and see players. Right now, weʼre looking for someone for the point guard position,” said Allyson Alhadeff, a graduate student who has worked with the menʼs basketball team for the past three years. “They try to find a good fit for our program.” NCAA rules allow college coaches to contact prospective athletes and their parents between July and November of the athleteʼs senior year in high school. “July is open recruiting month,” assistant womenʼs basketball coach Marcia Foster said. “If a team has a certain position open and the athlete has outstanding talent, the coaches will give them a call.” During the few months they are not allowed to speak to the media about recruiting specific individuals, the coaches meet and talk with their prospective athletes as often as possible. “I called the school and ended up talking to [Blazquezʼ] counselor,” Elders said. After consulting with Blazquez and her family, the counselor returned Elderʼs call and said that RECRUITMENT 10
MENʼS BASKETBALLLance Harris scored 19 points and Cartier Martin had 17 points and 6 rebounds Wednesday night to lead Kansas State to an easy 84-59 non-conference menʼs basketball victory over visiting Cal State Fullerton (3-1). Vershan Cottrell came off the bench to lead Fullerton with a career-high 15 points, easily surpassing his previous best of six points. Bobby Brown added 14 points but made only six of 21 shots. Jamaal Brown led all rebounders with 11 but managed only nine points on five shots. Both he and Justin Burns (2 points, four rebounds) fouled out after the outcome was decided. After Fullerton jumped out to an 8-4 lead, the Wildcats went on a 14-0 to build a doubledigit lead that never was really threatened.

Mustangs pin Titans with another loss this season Hickʼs wrestlers fall to 0-3 after a 27-1 loss at home to Cal Poly SLO By STEVEN WALTERS For the Daily Titan
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo easily defeated Cal State Fullerton 27-14 in a Pac-10 wrestling match at the Titan Gym Wednesday night. The Mustangs, who are ranked 20th in the nation, improved their record to 1-0 while the Titans fell to 0-3 on the season overall and 0-2 in Pac-10 play. After splitting the first four matches the Mustangs won five on the next six, including two matches that ended by pin fall in the first round. The Mustangʼs Matt Monteiro defeated the Titanʼs Chris Chambers, 16-0, in the second round, a match that swung the momentum to the Mustangʼs side.
In the next bout, heavyweight wrestler Arturo Basulto defeated the Titanʼs heavyweight, Dan Ott, only 53 seconds into the first round. “Montero was very impressive tonight,” Mustangʼs Head Coach John Azevedo said. “The way he overturned Chambers was huge.” After the Titanʼs Curtis Schurkamp won a close match against John Hanks, 5-4, to give the Titans some life, the Mustangʼs Darrel Vasquez ended any chance of Fullerton winning by scoring a victory by pin in the next bout. Vasquez was able to defeat T.J. Dillashaw in 1:41 seconds of the first round, showing why Titans Head Coach Dan Hicks has called some of the matches this year frustrating. “Weʼre young. Several guys here are red shirt freshman. They have a lot to learn,” Hicks said. “I have been a little frustrated.” WRESTLING 10

homestand of season By BELAL SIMJEE Daily Titan Staff
After dropping their first four games of the season, the Titan womenʼs basketball team will look to turn it around when they host the University of San Diego (2-3) from the West Coast Conference on Friday night. “We just have to pick our game up a little and start shooting the ball
better,” junior guard India McDaniel said. “We also need to step it up on defense, and not turnover the ball as much.” On the offensive side, the Titans are averaging 68.8 points per game so far. The part that worries the Titans is how many points per game they are allowing. Opponents are scoring an average of 83.5 points per game. “We obviously have to stop them on defense to have a shot on the offensive side,” Fullerton Head Coach Maryalyce Jeremiah said. “A good defensive presence can often times lead to a better offensive set.”
The Titans, who are coming off their closest loss of the season to Army, hope to take the positives from that game into their first homestand of the season. Against Army, Fullerton senior Amber Pruitt had 18 points and seven rebounds. With production like that, the Titans plan to see more positives to their overall play. “If we can get that sort of consistency out of [Amber], then we will be better equipped to play how we want to,” Jeremiah said. “Coming TITAN HOOPS 10

contact with the target, an electronic buzzer sounds and points won. “Fencers are only allowed to fence one weapon for competition,” Okawa said. “In the PE class, you start on the foil. You find out all the basics in foil.” The sabre is a cutting sword and requires a lot of speed. The same gray vest is worn, but points are gained from the side of the sword not just the tip. The epee is a stabbing weapon that was used in duels to draw ʻfirst blood.ʼ The weapon was not intended to kill an opponent. Competitors wear the familiar allwhite fencing uniform while battling with the epee because the whole body is a target for this weapon. All four fencers were unbeaten on Nov. 5 at Cal Tech, and Brenden (foil) and Liebing (sabre) both took first place on Oct. 24 at UC Irvine. The next chance for the Titans to battle UCSD is at the next home meet, which is scheduled for Feb. 5. “Theyʼre really good,” Okawa said. “We have better individuals, but as a team, weʼre in second place.”

Pruitt is also helping the Titans on the boards, pulling down an average of 4.5 rebounds per game. The Toreros, who are currently tied for second in their conference will rely heavily on Tiarra Harris, who is averaging 12 points per game this season. The senior gaurd said she hopes her team wonʼt be the first team the Titans beat this season. “We are just going to have to go out there and get it together,” Harris said. “[Fullerton] is going to be tough, they are going to be hungry, so we have to be able to step up and stop them.” The Titans are currently tied for fifth in the Big West Conference along with UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara.

Coach Azevedo thought the win was important due to the fact that it was crucial to gain momentum this early in the year. “Every win is important, but we like to get momentum early on, and we did that tonight,” Azevedo said. The Titanʼs started the night off on a good note as Risto Marttinen was able to pick up a 6-4 victory in the opening bout. However, the Mustangs won the next two bouts with victories from David Roberts and Jeff Owens. While Azevedo thought many of his wrestlers had impressive wins, Hicks did not feel the same about any of his wrestlers. When asked which of his wrestlers impressed him tonight, Hicks replied with, “None of them.” The Titans also picked up victories from Shawn Reilly and Jesse Taylor. Taylorʼs match ended on a positive note as he defeated Chris Angle, 17-1, in the second round. Both schools will head to Las Vegas to compete in the Las Vegas Invitational on
