Titan Online To Be Unified With Other Cal State Campuses By Maggie Hauser
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
Cal State Fullerton students will be seeing a change in their familiar Titan Online system in the 2007 and 2008 academic year. In an effort to unite all of the CSU campuses, the Executive Council began a 23-campus information systems development program in June of 1998 that is being called the Common Management System project. The software is fully Web-based and runs for all 23 campuses from a Salt Lake City database. According to CSUF Chief Information Technology Officer Amir Dabirian, the Salt Lake City location was chosen because it is not a common place for earthquakes and other calamities that would interrupt service. Another precaution to avoid crashes is the use of auxiliary servers, similar to the ones that cor-
porations such as Amazon and eBay employ. The Chancellor’s Office handles all common software changes for the CSU and then individual campuses can customize the software to meet their own unique needs and requirements. Project Lead Susan Kachner describes the system as a “new and improved” version of the current Titan Online system available to students, faculty and staff. Much like Titan Online, it will still provide details like students’ degree audit and financial aid status as well as transcript and grade information. The system will also allow students to search for open classes and register online as well as pay their fees as they do now with Titan Online. According to the CSUF Admissions office, another advantage to using the system is less paperwork. Students will be able to go online through the self-service Web site to
change their mailing address, something that must currently be done in person on campus or by fax. Junior Megan Feighery said that she’s looking forward to the fact that the system will be available to registered users 24 hours a day, seven days a week, unlike Titan Online. “As we know, students like to do things at 3 a.m.,” Kachner said. “This will help to make their lives easier.” California Maritime Academy and Fresno State were the pilot campuses for this change in 2002. Cal State Channel Islands, Long Beach State and Cal State Northridge followed in 2003. Chico State, Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo have all begun using the software, and implementation is currently in progress for Cal State Los Angeles. Justin Bianco, a biochemistry major, said that he doesn’t use Titan Online for anything besides registering for his classes. The system imple-

mentation team hopes that since students will be able to do more specific searches for classes, student usage may increase. The software will recognize if a student has taken a class at another institution that would transfer to CSUF, and will notify the student accordingly. Kachner also said that students would also be able to put themselves on a wait list for particular classes if the class they need is full. Jan Loomis of CedarCrestone, the consulting group that is helping Cal State Fullerton implement the system, said that the new self-service plan would have an “intuitive feel” to it. Loomis compared the appearance to that of airline ticket sale Web sites and Amazon.com. Students can expect to see changes gradually, Kachner said. “We’ll try to make it as painless as possible,” Kachner said. “We’ll do the work for the students when they click on a link.”

‘The Forgotten War’
By Julianna Crisalli
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
War correspondent Matthew Fisher spoke about the “forgotten war” in Afghanistan to students and faculty Wednesday. Since Sept. 11, Fisher has been to Afghanistan 11 times and Iraq seven. “People have said that Iraq is a breeding ground for terrorists. It has become a kindergarten to terrorism,” Fisher said. “America needs to switch focus. If they don’t, Afghanistan will become the graduate school of terrorism.” Fisher thinks America rushed into Iraq too fast and left Afghanistan prematurely. “Iraq is a total lost cause, but the war in Afghanistan is still winnable,” he said. “It will take strong military and humanitarian sources. It will take money, blood and time to get Afghanistan to where it should be.” While in Afghanistan, Fisher was present for the elections. This was the
first time he was able to speak to the Afghani women because they voted separately from the men. Fisher said everyone wanted to see what it was like to have democracy. “We should not kid ourselves that they want our way of life. They don’t. But they do not want the Taliban either,” Fisher said. This was not the Canadian journalist’s first speech given at Cal State Fullerton. In the past he has been a guest at Communications Week and several classroom meetings, where he discussed the experience of war reporting. This time, however, he focused his speech on the need to win the war in Afghanistan. “He is a world class war correspondent,” said Communications Professor Jeffrey Brody. “He made an excellent point that Afghanistan is the forgotten war.” Fisher hopes that by speaking to students, faculty and society, he can spread awareness about the pending struggles in Afghanistan. “I believe there needs to be as many observers as possible because
the public should be as well informed as possible so they know what leaders to elect and which to throw out,” he said. Student Jackie Kimmel attended the speech and found his knowledge of war and the U.S. military inspirational. Kimmel, president of the CSUF chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and national sales executive for the Daily Titan, said it is her goal to become a war correspondent. “I know that is a weird goal, especially for a woman,” she said. “The Daily Titan had a student war correspondent once and if they were to let me, I’d be on a plane tomorrow.” Fisher “fueled the fire” for Kimmel’s interest in war reporting. “I think he is a terribly brilliant man who has been more places than I ever could,” Kimmel said. “He has a better outlook than those who sit here and think they know what SEE FISHER - PAGE 4
The Senate Judiciary committee is currently debating a bill that would create a federal “shield law” for journalists, protecting their ability to withhold confidential sources and unpublished material unless proved necessary. In the wake of several controversial cases involving imprisonment of journalists who refused to reveal confidential sources, the Senate is discussing the pros and cons of Senate Bill 2831, the Free Flow of Information Act of 2006. According to the act, it is intended “to guarantee the free flow of information to the public through a free and active press as the most effective check upon government abuse, while protecting the right of the public to effective law enforcement and the fair administration of justice.” Some reporters believe confidential sources are an essential component and the inability to guarantee confidentiality hurts the process. “It’s the only way the public is going to get the information that it needs to have a free society,” Jim Brewer, politics and government editor for the San Francisco Chronicle, said in a phone interview Wednesday. A similar bill has been introduced to the House of Representatives. The statute does not grant qualified privilege to journalists but mandates that requestors prove that the necessity of disclosing sources is more important than maintaining confidentiality, while journalists are expected to argue the reverse. Lawmakers are relying on the “balancing test” outlined in the landmark case Branzburg v. Hayes, in which the Supreme Court ruled that reporter privilege is not implied in the first amendment. At a time when the media is often threatened by censorship, many feel the law is needed more now than

Important Cases For Journalists’ Rights BRANZBURG V. HAYES (1972) The Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment does not cover reporter privilege. It also established a “balancing test” to gauge whether disclosure of sources was necessary or not. For officials to force a reporter to disclose a source, they must “have exhausted all other alternate sources, they have reason to believe the information is relevant, the information is critical to the case, and the public interest in disclosing the confidential source outweighs the public interest in newsgathering and maintaining the free flow of information.” JUDITH MILLER A reporter for The New York Times, Judith Miller spent 85 days in jail in 2005. Though she did not write the controversial column that revealed the identity of Valerie Plame, an undercover CIA operative, Miller and several other reporters were ordered to disclose their sources regarding the case. The federal government began an investigation to find the source whom had leaked the sensitive information. After going to jail for refusal to name her sources, Miller ultimately obtained a waiver from her source to permit her to testify. The leak was particularly controversial due to accusations of political retribution against Plame’s husband, a former ambassador who publicly denounced the country’s involveever before. Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut said, “These actions by our government against journalists are having a profound impact on newsgathering.” Dodd cited two dozen journalists who have been subpoenaed, questioned, or imprisoned in the last year.

ment in Iraq. This month U.S. former Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage, admitted that he inadvertently leaked Valerie Plame’s name. FREELANCE BLOGGER San Francisco-Freelance videojournalist and blogger Jason Wolf has been imprisoned a second time for refusing to turn over footage of an anarchist protest. During the protest two police officers were injured. Wolf claims there is no footage of police being injured but the federal government is demanding his unpublished content regardless. Wolf returned to prison last week after his bail was revoked and could stay there until July. This is the first case of a blogger being held for not revealing material. BALCO CASE Last week two reporters for the San Francisco chronicle, Lance Williams and Mark FainaruWada, faced up to 18 months in jail. The reporters refuse to reveal who leaked information from the investigation of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, a company found to be a steroid distributor. During the investigation high-profile baseball players such as Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi testified regarding steroid use. Both reporters have been vocal about their willingness to serve time and their refusal to break their confidentiality agreements. to hide behind shield laws. Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty argued that the law would cause further leaks of classified information and could compromise national security by limiting the government’s ability to gather information. Others argue over the constitutionality of such a law. SEE SHIELD - PAGE 4

MEChA Looks to Create Strength Through Unity By Christina Martinez
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
MEChA was named Cal State Fullerton’s student organization of the year last April. The group’s name stands for “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,” or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan. It encourages its group members, often called “mechistos” or “mechistas,” to educate local high school students, be involved with outreach programs and to enlighten and inspire others, according to the club’s
Web site. MEChA’s motto is “unity creates strength,” or “la union hace la fuerza.” The history of this organization is traced back to the Chicano Movement of the 1960s. In 1969, at the National Chicano Youth Conference in Denver, Colo., the grounds for the Chicano movement were written in “El Plan de Aztlan.” Then in April of that same year, Chicano students gathered at UC Santa Barbara and established “El Plan de Santa Barbara.”
The plan talked about higher education, one of MEChA’s key philosophies. This was also where MEChA was established. Chair of MEChA Armando Urquiza said that the organization takes part in an annual conference held for high school students. “MEChA also organizes annual cultural events such as Dia de los Muertos, Indigenous People’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Cesar Chavez Day, and other events,” Urquiza said. Because Chicano/Latino Heritage month is going on right now, from
Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, the organization has some events planned for the near future. On Oct. 2, the organization is involved with a Hip Hop conference from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the central Quad. They are also involved with the planning of an anti-hate rally on Wednesday, Oct. 4, in the Quad. Every Friday, MEChA holds a meeting at 1 p.m. in MH 104 B. Urquiza welcomed anyone to attend. “All students are welcome to participate in MEChA,” he said.

The outlook is promising and it’s time for new leaders to make new decisions.”
Bright Beginnings
Born in Evanston, Ill., Ericksen received his master’s degree in International Education from the School for International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont in 1977. He first became interested in international education after studying abroad in England and Germany as an undergraduate at Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill. The Peace Corps was the next stop for Ericksen, who joined shortly after graduating from Augustana
College. He spent two years in Iran during his Peace Corps days and was involved in intensive language training. The only place where he spoke English was in the English classroom that he taught. He learned to speak Farsi almost fluently while in Iran. Ericksen has been involved with the administration of international education since his first professional position at the University of Maryland. A Beta chapter member of the Phi Beta Delta organization, Ericksen takes great pride in having such personal ties with the roots and creator of the Phi Beta Delta chapters. Edward Blankenship created the first
chapter, Alpha, at Cal State Long Beach. The second chapter, Beta, was started at CSUF in 1987, and Ericksen provided major input in the formation of this chapter. The Beta chapter was honored as the “Best in the Western Region” in Cholula, Mexico, at the 2003 Annual Conference. This honor for CSUF was enhanced by the fact that Ericksen has served on the board for 14 years. Since the Beta chapter began, “more CSUF students have won all-chapter student awards than any other chapter in the world,” Ericksen said. Five CSUF students have won awards so far. The chapter’s most re-
cent nominee, Susan Jimenez, took home the Student Internationalist Award this year. On May of 2005, in Seattle, Washington, Ericksen was honored with the opportunity to chair the Association of International Educators Conference. “The conference helped us get an awesome sense of the impact of the international education around the world,” Ericksen said. A rule to live by and the basic guiding principle of the International Education and Exchange program under Ericksen’s leadership is to “keep an open mind, be fair, don’t prejudge people and know the dangers of stereotyping.”

Schwarzenegger May Terminate EOP Program takes budget cuts, but continues to help students for now By Laura Lujan
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
By IAN HAMILTON/Daily Titan
MENTOR - Alicia Herrera, accounting major, works about 17 hours a week in the Links Mentoring Program
office. She spends most of this time mentoring. The program works in conjunction with EOP to help students.
“
I was very clueless about college. I didn’t really know what it was about or what to expect until I was admitted to EOP. – Berenice Dimas Chicano/Chicana studies major
“
When senior Berenice Dimas was a high school student, a college education seemed beyond her grasp. Born to immigrant parents, she never thought she’d have the financial means to attend a university. “My high school wasn’t really a place where very many people talked about college,” Dimas said. “You only got that information if you were in AP classes.” After finding out about the Education Opportunity Program at Cal State Fullerton, her life began to turn around for the better. “I was very clueless about college,” Dimas said. “I didn’t really know what it was about or what to expect until I was admitted into EOP.” Dimas, a Chicano/Chicana studies and women’s studies double major, spoke to directors, administrators, alumni and fellow students last week during the program’s first annual information panel as part of an effort to increase awareness of its importance on campus. Founded during the civil rights movement in 1969, the EOP is a statewide program that assists low-income students with the financial and academic resources they need for a successful college experience. Currently, the EOP program is providing financial assistance to about 2,000 CSUF students. The program offers services such as preadmission counseling, admission assistance, tutoring, career guidance and financial aid advisement. Through the program, students may qualify for a grant of up to $800. Jeremiah Moore, director of
Student Academic Services and the CSUF EOP, said that EOP and Outreach programs have always been in danger of elimination because of budget cuts, but never as much as they have been since Gov. Schwarzenegger took office. CSUF’s EOP is given $635,000 a year, an amount Moore said has not increased in many years. Moore said that even though EOP is among the first programs to be considered for budget cuts every year, CSUF manages to make up the
loss. “This campus has not suffered as much as other campuses,” Moore said. “Fullerton has been very committed to equity.” Though he is almost sure the EOP program is safe for at least two more years at CSUF, Moore expects further threats to the program. “I think [legislators] are always going to say that there’s enough diversity in most campuses that they should be able to do without special programs,” Moore said. “I don’t think that some campuses can.” “EOP has been a significant part of California higher education history,” said Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Silas Abrego. “It’s more important now than ever for the program to survive. We can’t allow the lack of financial aid to be an obstacle keeping students from pursuing their education.” David Sandoval, EOP director at Cal State Los Angeles, said the difference between low-income demographics now and when EOP first
began is that the low-income demographic is not concentrated solely in black and Hispanic communities. “The new civil rights movement is not for black civil rights, brown civil rights, or Asian civil rights,” Sandoval said, quoting civil rights leader Robert Moses. “It is for educational and economic civil rights.” Dimas said students and alumni must do their part to keep the program alive. She said that even though EOP students are graduating and succeeding, not enough of them are returning to promote the program. Dimas said that the program has inspired her to come back and work with the Summer Bridge program as a counselor for other students in situations like the one she was in after high school. “It will forever inspire me to focus on the community,” she said. “That is something that the program helped me understand. I was different than other people in college. I needed help – now I want to help other people.”
SHield: First Amendment
(From Page One)
“What this is is a fundamental clash between the rights and privileges claimed by journalists under the First Amendment with the rights of people who have been accused of crimes and their rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendment of the Constitution,” said Genelle Belmas, assistant professor of communications and professor of communications. “It’s a constitutional collision.” 31 states, including California, and the District of Columbia have their own shield laws. While some states have no legal recognition, some have a very strong common law, Belmas said. Still, it is important to many journalists to have protection at the federal level. “As long as the federal government can find, in any given situation, the violation of a federal law, it can still hear a case and require journalists to turn over information,” Brewer said. “State law doesn’t work if the federal government wants to come in there. They can always find something to call a federal crime.” One of the most recent examples in the news today involves the San Francisco Chronicle. Two sports writers have been ordered to jail for refusal to disclose their sources in the high-profile steroid case involving athlete Barry Bonds and his testimony against the steroid-distributing Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. “We had two reporters who were putting out information, that is something that the public has a right to know about … we stand by their
right to do that,” Brewer said. “And we hope the public will see it this way because they’ll be the losers in the long run if reporters get sent to jail for doing their job.” Many journalists argue that shield laws are essential in order to report effectively, particularly because the media considers itself the watchdog of the government. In some cases, history has proven the value and necessity of confidential sources, most notably with the Watergate Scandal and its anonymous source “deep throat.” Jackie Kimmel, president of the Cal State Fullerton chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and national sales executive for the Daily Titan, is not surprised that the issue has come to the surface again. Kimmel said these concerns are nothing new and that journalists have been fighting for shield laws for a long time because they help guarantee a reporter’s ability to gather information. “Shield laws are very very important not only because they help protect us but because we need protecting,” Kimmel said. Numerous bills have been proposed and rejected regarding “shield laws” for journalists. Regardless of whether or not the bill passes this time, Kimmel is optimistic. Journalists have a duty to serve the public regardless of federal involvement. “Overall I think that progress is going to be made,” Kimmel said. “And if it doesn’t pass I don’t think journalists are going to stop any time soon.”

Bakery: Dog Food Only K-9 Unit: Anaheim Police (From Page Seven)
By Julianna crisalli/Daily Titan Staff Writer
dog food - The small pup-cakes, made of dog friendly ingredients,
are one of the most popular items at Three Dog Bakery in Pasadena.
Bodnar, who owns two other Three Dog Bakery’s in the Los Angeles area, said he has seen some fun times with the store. From ice cream socials in the summer to Halloween costume parties in autumn, the Bakery stays busy. He has one experience from the busy holiday season that he said he’ll never forget. “I remember sleeping in dog beds at Christmas time. I just put a note on me that said, ‘wake me at 9:00,’” he said, referring to waking up in time for work. Although the frosting-covered snacks and goodie-filled events are staples of Three Dog Bakery, the store owners pride themselves on serving wholesome, healthy treats. Bodnar said cakes and treats are all made with ingredients healthy for dogs like whole wheat, wheat pow-
der, rice dough, carob and honey. The same is true for LeWoof Dog Bakery and Boutique in Yorba Linda, which only serves fresh, all-natural treats. Employee Ann Odle said that dogs are nervous when they first come in because they smell other dogs, but they calm down once they see the treats. LeWoof ’s top selling item is the banana woofers. Olde said her Labrador mix, Reggie, doesn’t care which treat she brings home. “As long as he sees the store bag, he’s happy,” she said. Olde sees the pooch-pampering trend continuing. “Dogs are just so companionable. Sometimes it is easiest to relate to dogs,” Olde said. “If you are shy, your dog won’t mind. It is nice to see people care so much about their animals.”
Fashion: Dressing your dog (From Page Six) to include their pets in more formal occasions like weddings just as they would other family members. Lexington, Ky., designer Stephanie Bell has risen to meet the challenge, creating fancy collars, bridesmaid gowns and tuxedos for pets. For those who find money is no object, online shopping sites GlamourDog.com and PamperedPuppy. com carry leather jackets, cashmere sweaters and suede moccasin boots by designers like Juicy Couture and Von Dutch. Some Web sites like TrixieAndPeanut.com even offer fleece pajamas and raincoats with matching galoshes for man’s best friend. For pet owners who want to outfit their dogs without breaking the bank, even the more affordable mainstream marketplaces have begun to offer some fun fashion options for pets. In recent years, stores like Target began carrying pet clothing by

Target will also offer Halloween costumes this year so pups can dress up right along with their owners to look like Princess Leia, Superman and even the king of rock ‘n’ roll – Elvis Presley. All of Target’s pet Halloween costumes are priced under $30. Halloween isn’t the only holiday for pets to get involved in, though. Most stores that carry canine clothing will likely carry accessories for other holidays like bunny ears at Easter and reindeer antlers at Christmas. For those who have a dog in the family, Johnson said dressing them up could be a lot of fun for everyone involved. Johnson said that Puppies@Moondoggies may even host a costume contest this Halloween. Dog obedience trainer Cary Petersen, who works at Bzy Feet Kennels in Santa Ana, said that he has seen a dramatic increase in the dressing up of smaller dogs, especially in Orange County.

“surrogate children.” “Dogs kind of get doted on when we put them in the outfits,” Petersen said. “Because of the attention they get when they’re dressed up, they associate the outfit with attention, so they get to where they like being dressed up.” Petersen is quick to point out that he never used to believe that people should dress their dogs, but he ad-
mits to sometimes putting a beanie or one of his own hooded sweatshirts on his 10-year-old rottweiler, Mena. Petersen said that he might even dress Mena up for Halloween this year. “If your dog will let you dress it up, go all out and really dress it up,” Johnson said. “People will get a kick out of it!”

The detail was working on a scenario at Loara Elementary School in Anaheim that was going to be an attic find. It involved locating the scent of a hidden officer in an attic. He said many suspects hide in attics and don’t believe the detail will send a police dog up there. The training session was to get the dogs used to being carried on the officer’s shoulder. Officers can just throw the dog up and balance it on one shoulder. He said if an officer gets the dog into the hole they can leave their gun in the holster. The hard part is getting back down the ladder and bringing the dog out of the hole. The officers give many warnings that they are going to search the area with a police dog. When the suspect refuses to give up, a dog is used to locate them He said the detail would never send a police dog into the water, because if suspects wade out to waist-deep water, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to grab the dog’s chain and drag them down, drowning them. Otherwise the detail will send the dog anywhere the suspect can hide. Police tape interviews with all suspects after they are bitten. Most of the suspects who don’t surrender and get bit say they didn’t think the dog would bite them, Leist said. Leist said most of the detail’s
calls involve a parolee hiding under a car or bushes. Officers can’t search by hand over all of those areas, so the detail really reduces the amount of time that the police department spends. They save thousands of man hours per year. Patrol officers use police dogs save human lives. Leist said he didn’t have to stick his head in an attic under a house or around a corner where a suspect may have a weapon. The police dog saves the officer ever having to get close to suspects. Leist said there have been no fatalities among the detail. Fighting with a police dog is a misdemeanor for assaulting a police officer. He said their jurisdiction is Anaheim but can be all of Orange County or even Los Angeles County if needed. They are aided by other agencies in a mutual aid pact when their five dogs can’t cover Anaheim. The Orange County Police Canine Association calls the 60 dogs and their handlers in the pact together once a month to do some training and talk about issues, Leist said. When a dog retires a handler usually adopts the dog. The handlers are then responsible for the veterinary bills, said Joan MacNab, a volunteer with friends of the Anaheim Police Canine Association. The dogs usually retire due to old age and minor injury, said Tim Olcott, president of friends of the Anaheim Police Canine Association. He said they try to help officers take care of the dogs once the dog retires.

years, dogs have been known For as man’s best friend, but have they become man’s favorite accessory? It used to be that dogs could be seen grinning and drooling while they hung their heads out of pickup truck windows or playing with tennis balls at the beach. While they can still be seen enjoying those activities, now it’s becoming normal to see pooches being carried around, much like infants, in strollers and even their owner’s arms. It’s also becoming more common to see them dressed to the nines in Swarovski crystal-encrusted collars and Burberry sweaters. Amber Johnson, manager of Puppies@Moondoggies at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, said that canine clothing has steadily gained in popularity over the past few years. Johnson said that her store carries not only everyday clothing for dogs, but holiday costumes as well so owners can dress up their pets like chickens, devils and witches. “It started out with little T-shirts,” Johnson said. “Now they have little warm-up suits, polos, shoes and even wristbands for dogs.” Johnson said that she has even seen jewelry like doggy pearl necklaces in some stores, and said that, in her opinion, celebrities like Paris
Hilton probably have a lot to do with people dressing their dogs up. “I think that people see celebrities and think, ‘I have to do something like that with my dog,’ like Paris did with her little toy Chihuahua, Tinkerbell,” Johnson said. The Bark Park dog park in Costa Mesa has several patrons who dress their dogs up for “play dates” at the park. Couple Stacy Johnson and James Wood of Costa Mesa visit The Bark Park with their Boston terrier, Mia, and Italian greyhound, Luciana. Wood agreed with his girlfriend when she called the dressing of dogs “a little excessive.” Wood said that he has seen dogs dressed at Bark Park in jean skirts, coordinating sweaters and even wristbands, but that other dogs tend to bite on the clothing, often ruining the outfits. “A dog is a dog,” Wood said. “Not a person.” Cary Wright another Bark Park frequenter, said he and his border collie Barley aren’t much for dressing up, but his mother loves to dress up her toy Chihuahua. “She buys doll clothes and dresses up her dog in those,” Wright said. “They’re just the right size for her dog, and they’re cheaper than the stuff you find at pet stores.” Carol Yarbrough of Costa Mesa said she would love to dress up her 14-month-old golden retriever,
Stoney, but her husband won’t let her. “Women with their little dressedup poodles; I think it’s just the cutest thing,” Yarbrough said. “But my husband would laugh at me if I dressed our dog up like that.” However, Yarbrough said her husband, a USC fan, puts a team bandanna around Stoney’s neck whenever the Trojans play, and she said that the dog is part of the family when they cheer on the team. Photographer William Wegman began working with Weimaraners in the early 1970s and has given his canine subjects more human traits than one could shake a rawhide at. His candid and colorful photos of dogs wearing wedding gowns, raincoats and roller skates have made him famous internationally, prompting him to release several books and calendars highlighting his entire family of dogs, possibly influencing the public to outfit their own pets.

Dogs in Arms

Joy pranced into the store and immediately licked her lips. Her nose began to twitch and her tail waved franticly back and fourth as the smell of fresh-baked goods filled the air. Every time Joy, a Jack Russell Terrier mix, walks by Three Dog Bakery in Old Town Pasadena, she has to make a stop, said her owner Enid Miller. “She really likes it because she can meet friendly dogs in here and because the employees always let her lick frosting off their fingers,” Miller said. Frosting licking is a common event at Three Dog Bakery. Storeowner Mark Bodnar said dogs even bring in their own spoon for eating frosting. Sticking out of a ceramic jar on the treat counter are a dozen wooden spoons. Most of them are personalized with the dog’s name and several chew marks. Besides frosting-filled spoons, dogs seem to favor the small pupcakes, Bodnar said. Shopping for your dog has always been a popular activity, and Bodnar believes the trend will continue to grow. He admits that having a dog is a lot of work and can be very expensive, but he thinks it is well worth it. “Dogs have always been man’s best friend, but now people are truly realizing they are true companions. They give unconditional love,” Bodnar said. The bakery offers a variety of activities to get the whole family in-

volved in raising the family dog. The store sells a dog-biscuit mix that has a recipe easy enough for children to help. Another popular offering is a birthday celebration for dogs that includes a freshly baked birthday cake. As Joy enjoyed a chicken bit treat her owner handed her, Miller discussed plans to have Joy’s next birthday at Three Dog Bakery. “She loves her birthday. I invite people she likes and dogs she likes,” Miller said.
Bodnar said the store sees a great variety of customers. “Children come in to the store and spend their allowance on their dogs,” Bodnar said. “Then you have the big tough guy with his big Rottweiler coming in to buy pup-cakes.” The bakery also has a confidential celebrity clientele. Bodnar himself has brought orders of treats to celebrity’s homes. SEE BAKERY- PAGE 5
Long before man’s best friend was a hot trend to follow, the Anaheim police were trusting dogs with thier lives
The officer picked the dog up, climbed up the ladder and put him up into the attic. The dog found the decoy in the bite suit and he bit him. The officer called the dog off, took him off of the bite and brought him back down with lots of praise. “We only search for violent felons in Anaheim,” said Brian Leist, an officer and senior handler for the Anaheim Police Department’s K-9 detail. This was one of their weekly training sessions held every Wednesday night at different locations throughout the city. Leist said this is so the dogs never see the same building. He said if the dogs were trained at the same place all the time, the dogs sometimes have problems and issues with unfamiliar areas. Leist said human odor is what dogs need to alert to. If an odor was behind a door they should smell it and bark at the door. Officers don’t know who the dog is going to find, but it is going to find human odor, he said. “A dog’s sense of smell is up to a million times better than our own,” Leist said. He said they their nose is the biggest asset that they have. When suspects run from police in the field and they can’t find them, that’s when the dog’s nose gets put to use. The detail searches backyards, front yards, houses or wherever the dog detects human odor. Most of the police dogs in this country are from Europe, Leist said, although some are purchased
from breeders in the United States. Anaheim Police Department K-9 detail-dogs are all former ring sport dogs. Ring sport is a popular sport in Europe in which the handler runs out and gets bit, then the dog lets go obediently, Leist said. He said the department is basically getting the dogs European breeders don’t want anymore. It’s not that they are old, but for some reason they didn’t test perfectly or they don’t have the exact colored coat breeders want. He said all five of the K-9 detail dogs find human beings, and four of them are cross trained to find narcotics. They find cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin and ecstasy. He said trainers have a sleeve test where the dog must know to bite the sleeve. “When they come basic, they don’t hunt for man, they hunt because they see a guy in a grassy field wearing a sleeve,” Leist said. He said the detail trainer has to take them and teach them that they are hunting for a person in hiding. He said the detail brought a couple of volunteer officers who go and hide for this training exercise. If they want to be a handler in the detail the officers must first be a decoy, or a person that hides, gets SEE K-9 UNIT - PAGE 5

Dating Has Become Almost Impossible By Paul Saiedi Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com
Struggling at packed bars amidst raucous noises, we put ourselves through stale pick-up lines, overpriced drinks and numerous deadon-arrival dates. Dating today is all about finding perfection. You can see this perfection fictionalized in movies. Look to the misleading portrayals of “love” pandered to today’s daters in romantic films like “Sleepless in Seattle” and “Dirty Dancing.” I am not saying students think these movies are reality driven or that they look to them for dating advice. However, most students have seen these movies and these plots are ingrained in their minds, whether consciously or subconsciously.
In part, these plots are contribut- cluded, dating is nothing like what ing to the chaos found in the dating we see in movies. scene.

Ideally, dating is when we venture For most of my friends, myself inout with someone we feel an attraction to. We attempt to get to know him or her better. Instead, we search for the person who meets our minimum list requirements. These lists are counterproductive to dating. Recently, a friend related a story to me about a girl she went out with. She said the girl was devastatingly beautiful and intelligent, but lived with her parents. She went on to say that a person who lives at home is a nonnegotiable for her. In some cases someone living at
home can be scary. A 30-year-old man living with mommy might send anyone running. The majority of the time though we are just nitpicking. Our preoccupation with the pursuit of perfection and paying undue attention to insignificant and overly critical details are ruining our dating lives. My married friends frequently weigh in on the dating disasters they hear about. One such friend working for the Daily Titan said that she’s happy she has been with the same guy for the last 12 years and she couldn’t imagine dealing with the dating world of today. So is there hope? Of course there is. Dating is just harder than it used to be. I think students struggling with dating drama need look no further than to their own expectations. They can make conscious efforts to be more open minded and less critical. At any Friday night happy hour, through the smoke and under the sounds of clinking beer bottles, some of us find connections. The successful date is out there. We need to stop being obsessed with expectations of perfection, put our lists down and hope for quiet nights on the couch with people who only keep lists for things like groceries and school work, not for love.
The award ceremony at last year’s Associated Press Sports Editors convention was coming to an end. Just a couple more awards were left. Around this time, at most award ceremonies, the energy of a room is drained. This was no different. Awards were being handed out, people would pick up their awards, stand up on a podium, wait for applause, then sit down. Then came time to hand out the award for best investigative reporting within sports for 2004. Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams went through the routine. They picked up their award, stood up on a podium and waited for applause. Then they waited for the applause to end. They waited. And waited. And waited. More than 300 sports editors, which were there in Orlando for the convention, gave Fainaru-Wada and Williams a standing ovation that lasted about two minutes. Fainaru-Wada and Williams did more good than bad with their reporting. They shutdown the biggest producer of designer steroids in the country, forced Congress to ask baseball “is your sport clean?” and put into question the legitimacy of many athletic accomplishments in the last 10 years. 15 months after getting a standing ovation from the sports editors,
said that they are not going to give up their sources. Not even being after told they would go to jail unless they do so, by U.S. District Judge Jeffery White last week. The two reporters kept true to their word. “I do not wish to spend even a minute in jail. However, I cannot – and will not – betray the promises I have made over the past three years,” Fainaru-Wada, 41, told reporters after exciting the courthouse. Cal State Fullerton Dean of Communication Rick Pullen called the fact that journalist are being jailed for doing their jobs “tragic.” “Federal investigators have sufficient tools at their disposal to ferret out information needed in an investigation without relying on the notes and sources of journalists,” Pullen said in an e-mail. “In my view, the First Amendment should be protection in these cases, but if it is not, then I definitely favor the enactment of a federal shield law to protect journalists.” Reporters don’t go into the business because of the lifestyle. There are no perks that come with the job – other than knowing we did a good job. That’s what Fainaru-Wada and Williams did, a good job with their reporting. The more than 300 sports editors in Orlando knew that when they were clapping for them. The federal government should have clapped too, but instead they want to send them to prison for doing their jobs.
casion” gifts. But what happens when the long “get to know you” conversations turn into dull, five-minute chats or the heavy make-out sessions become sloppy, routine kisses? Many couples get bored of each other at some point. The relationship becomes tiresome and annoying as well. However, relationships can work out if couples work to conserve them. A relationship is not an equation that you can easily solve. Being in a relationship is a lot of work, tears, compromising, surprises, disappointments, forgettable and unforgettable memories. It requires both sides of the spectrum to come together and create peace and love. When the two sides collide the relationship is bound to hell, or grasps a second breath to reconnect. John Gottman, a professional love and sex coach advises couples to try to solve conflicts. In his book “The Relationship Cure” he writes that couples should learn to repair and exit an argument by either changing the topic, focusing on the bright
ter fondness and admiration, Gottman writes. Remember the good times and try to fall in love all over again, like setting up surprise dates or leaving love letters in unexpected places. Who cares if that only happened on your first date or four year anniversary? Love is supposed to cure some sicknesses and make the world a happier and peaceful place. It is sometimes everlasting while with others it may not be. However the situation, experiences will always be remembered as a learned lesson, a gained friendship, a broken heart, a lost love or a burdening relief.

Maintaining Long-Term Relationships By Nancy Mora Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com
One night, three weeks, two months, 30 years. It doesn’t matter how long a relationship may last, everyone is usually out there looking for their true love. Many may jump into the dating scene to find “the one,” while others are lucky enough to have Cupid help them out. Relationships are vital to people, because they allow us to connect with other human beings that understand our different ways of life and care for us on deeper level. Not having someone to share and enjoy special moments with you makes an experience less memorable. Friends are fun to have around, but that special someone seals the deal with a romantic kiss or a tender caress across the face. Many relationships start off as an unwinding lane of surprises with fun date nights, hidden love letters, talking to the wee hours of the morning, perfumed flowers and “no special oc-
side of things by using humor, or just coping with a conflict that cannot be resolved. According to divorcenet.com, the top reasons marriages fail are because of poor communication, financial problems, infidelity, failed expectations and a lack of conflict resolution skills. Gottman writes that more sex doesn’t necessarily improve the relationship. Frequent arguing will not always result in a break up. If couples are having problems, Gottman advises them to seek help early. The average couple waits up to six years to get help and by then it might be too late. It is important for couples to fos-

last season. The lone goal of the weekend for the Titans was scored by junior mid fielder Brianna Buffington in the game against San Francisco. “We need to find the right players more, and attack,” Buffington said. “That’s what we’re lacking. We’re defending a lot right now. We just need to get in an offensive mindset.” The Titans only recorded two shots on goal in the match against Santa Clara - a disappointing result in a match between two nationally ranked teams. “We’re having a hard time right now, knowing when to attack,” Welch said. “We’re playing a lot of defense, but we just haven’t gotten the ball forward.” CSUF fell to 4-4-1 on the season. “It’s just a matter of execution for us, I think we’ve done a lot of growing and developing as a team,” Khosroshahin said. “Hopefully we can shake off the last couple of results and move on.” Last weekend marked the end of a month-long road tour in which the Titans posted a 3-4-1 record. Fans will get a chance to meet the Titans during a “meet and greet” before the match against Arizona. Players and coaches will be signing autographs from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., with the game starting promptly at 7 p.m. The Titans will be under the lights once more on Sunday when their game against UC Riverside kicks off at 6 p.m. “I know we’re all really excited,” Buffington said. “It’s just good to finally be home and play.”

back of the net due to a great stop by Puder. The second shot got past Puder, but hit the crossbar. Less than a minute after that stop, UCI’s Rudy Mondragon sent in a touch pass to Hamilton to end the game. “It was a great touch from Rudy and I just got on the end of it,” Hamilton said of the goal. “It was nice to get one after I had one rattle off the post.” Titans defender Matt Sanders said watching the goal go into the net was hard. “You work hard for a whole game,” Sanders said, “and to have a goal like that go in, it’s tough.”

from their unprecedented 12-2 record, they are coming off a sevenmatch winning streak that has never been done before. During the streak, they defeated Pacific, a team that has dominated CSUF since Nixon was in office. The Titans’ overall record versus the Tigers before their win last Thursday was 2-42. They beat them in their own backyard no less, which has never been done by the Titans. CSUF has also won three tournament titles (Four Points Classic, Comcast Logo Invitational, Holliday Inn Fullerton Classic), a feat that has also never been done. If the Titans record three more
match victories, they will insure their first winning season since 1996. Their next two opponents, UC Riverside (Thursday) and UC Davis (Friday) have a combined 2-24 record. Titan Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman attributes the team’s success to having the right personnel along with her player’s experience and leadership. “The returners know what they need to do to get the job done,” Zimmerman said. “And when the new players arrived they knew how to fall in line. They’ve all adopted a mindset of winning and it’s showing.”
With all this winning, it is a wonder how the Titans manage to stay grounded. Zimmerman attributes this to the attitude of the coaching staff. “I’m a day-to-day type of person,” Zimmerman said. “So we like to take things one game at a time around here. The loss [to Cal State Northridge] on Saturday was so good for this team in that it humbled them.” Outside hitter Brittany Moore said the winning is great for the team’s self-esteem. “I feel good about the season so far. All the winning is like a confidence builder for our team,” Moore said.
The Titans have never finished above fifth and have only had a .500 season three times in three decades (1981, 1996 and 2004). If they can keep up the winning, a NCAA tournament appearance can easily become a reality this season. “We don’t dwell on it,” Zimmerman said. “But it is in the back of our minds.” Zimmerman knows a tournament appearance is possible and said she would like fans to come out and support a team that is not only winning, but also making program history. “They say everyone likes a winner,” Zimmerman said. “Come and check us out then.”

After battling back and forth to go into overtime, Cal State Fullerton (4-5-1, 0-2-0 Big West) lost to UC Irvine, 3-2, at Titan Stadium. UCI’s Anthony Hamilton scored the game-winning goal on a volley kick from inside the 18-yard box that just got past the reach of an outstretched Kevin Puder’s finger tips in the 96th minute. “It’s real tough man,” Puder said. “It’s just so hard. But it wasn’t that last golden goal that beat us, it was the first half, when we slacked … they got a couple of quick goals on us and that’s what beat us, not the golden goal.” The Anteaters (7-1-1, 2-0-0), after falling behind 1-0, scored two goals in the 25th minute to take a 2-1 lead. The goals, which came in a span of 41 seconds, both came fror the right side of the box and beat Puder to his left. “They are a seasoned team, they are a bunch of seniors and we got a bunch of young guys,” Titans Head Coach Bob Ammann said. “We battled, we played hard, but there was a five minute lapse, in the first half, that cost us the game.” The Titans scored first in the third minute on a goal by Michael Farfan from outside the 18-yard box. Farfan, dribbling to the left side of the foot, surprised UCI goalkeeper Kenny Schoeni from 23-yard out using his left foot. Schoeni, caught going to his right, was beaten on his left with a low shot that rolled just inside the post.
