New Theater Production is ‘Stepping Out’ BY caITLYn coLLIns

In a play of quirky personalities and therapy sessions, “Stepping Out” actors tapped their way onto the stage Friday. “Stepping Out” is a British comedy with “strong musical elements,” said Diana Demartino, 26, an assistant stage manager. While there is no singing, there is a lot of dancing in this story of a tap class full of students with more passion than talent. The teacher, Mavis, played by Kyle Dallatorre, is a retired Broadway dancer just trying to make ends meet. “It’s a different look at the world of dance,” said Carly Wiel-

More than 60 students joined the Resident Student Association on Thursday for a night of food, carnival games, prizes and murder. The club’s semi-annual murder mystery dinner was held in the multi-purpose room located in the Cypress resident hall. The room was transformed into a carnival setting. Red, blue and yellow balloons draped from cornerto-corner and streamers wrapped around the room’s columns. Music blasted from a stereo and the smell of popcorn, cotton candy and hot dogs filled the air. Around 7:30 p.m. there was a loud commotion and the lights shut off. When the lights turned on the tightrope walker was lying dead on the stage. The students were given until 8 p.m. to interview the remaining actors to find clues to solve the murder. This was the first time the association dinner used a carnival theme. “Traditionally the murder mystery dinner is a sit-down dinner with the actors walking around and coming up to the tables,” club President Kyle Rush said. “We wanted the dinner to be different to get more people involved and be more interactive.” Throughout the night students were free to eat hotdogs, nachos, cotton candy and caramel apples and play carnival games while mingling with the actors. Some games included throwing a ring around a bottle, throwing a ball into a basket, or spinning a wheel to win tickets that would be entered for a raffle. T-shirts, Titan Gear, Titan Shop gift cards and USB flash drives were raffled off and goldfish were given away throughout the night. The main prizes, an iPod Shuffle and an iPod nano, were raffled at the very end of the night to those students who correctly guessed the killer’s identity. Rush said the theme of the murder mystery dinner changes each semester, but they’ll probably go back to the traditional dinner next semester. Some students that attended had mixed feelings about the carnival theme. Advertising major Jacquelyn Wallace attended the previous murder mystery dinner and said she prefers the carnival theme. “This one is more up beat and fun and gives you a chance to socialize,” Wallace said. “The last one was a sitdown dinner and was very mellow but the carnival activities make it more fun and enjoyable.” “It is fun to go around and play games, but it’s definitely harder to guess the murderer because the actors are not coming to you, you have to go to them,” communications major Heather Weeks said. For the event organizers, the main concern was not how many students would guess the correct murderer. “The point of the murder mystery is a way for residents to interact with different students on campus, and basically to draw people out to meet new people,” said Alisa Van, the club’s campus liaison.

people and watch people who are older – make-up helps,” said Dallatorre, 22, who also plays an older character. “If my acting ability isn’t good enough, just look at the lines on my face.” Himmelheber provides just enough help with the acting process, according to Dallatorre, a musical theater major. “Eve lets you have your interpretation of the character but at the same time she helps you focus and guide it along with everyone else’s,” Dallatorre said. In addition to learning how to speak in different British dialects, the actors had to do a lot of outside research about see THeaTre - PaGe 3
Drag Show Raises Funds BY Tom madden
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
The Bootylicious Drag Show held last Thursday in the Titan Student Union featured everything from a Cher impersonator to a mock fight between a drag queen named Donna Bella and president George Bush, and included an appearance from ASI Vice President-elect Curtis Schlaufman. The four-hour drag show was held to raise both money and awareness for the Queer Student Association on campus and to give students a chance to freely celebrate their sexuality. “It’s a celebration of diversity,” said 26-year-old grad-student Jon Arat, who performed to The Divinyl’s song “I Touch Myself.” “The message [of the show] is to embrace everything and have fun, while not being judged.” The show, which has gone on for several years, featured performances from a Liza Minnelli impersonator named Josie P. Katt and other professional performers who flew in from around the country to take part in the night’s festivities. The emcee of the drag show, Sade’ Michaels, made her entrance by sing-

Students, faculty and community members alike were invited to join Students Achieving Civic Transformation at the Titan Student Union on Saturday for the third annual Social Justice Summit. Each year the organization, which works out of the Volunteer and Service Center at Cal State Fullerton, hosts the free summit to address pressing issues of social importance including abuse, poverty, hate crimes, abortion and social equality. “What we are trying to do here is inspire people,” said Paul Saeidi, project director for the organization. “This is a grassroots, vanguard movement to create change in Orange County.” Keynote speakers Sonali Kolhatkar and Kate Bornstein were on hand to promote social change through their respective works. Kolhatkar’s first book, “Bleeding Afghanistan: Washington, Warlords, and the Propaganda of Silence,” deals with the effects of U.S. policy in Afghanistan. Bornstein promoted several of her previous books along with her new solo show, “Kate Bornstein is a Queer and Pleasant Danger.” The summit also featured a wide range of workshops designed to shed light on certain social issues as well as a resource fair that included various organizations, both on and off campus, seeking support for different causes.

INteRNatIoNaL NewS Sucide Car Bombers Attack Police Station BAGHDAD (AP) - two suicide car bombers attacked a police station Sunday in western Baghdad, police said, killing at least 13 people and turning nearby buildings into piles of rubble. The violence underscored Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s efforts to win arab support for his struggling government on a four-nation tour around the region. a man who was among the 82 wounded in Sunday’s attack staggered through the wreckage. “all our belongings and money were smashed and are gone. what kind of life is this? where is the government?” he asked. “There are no jobs, and things are very bad. Is this fair?”
NatIoNaL NewS Gunman Commits Suicide After Shooting HOUSTON (AP) - The gunman in an apparent murder-suicide at the Johnson Space Center targeted a NaSa worker he feared could get him fired, police said Saturday. william Phillips had received a poor job review a month before authorities said he smuggled a revolver into the space center, shot David Beverly and barricaded himself with a hostage before killing himself in a building that houses communications and tracking systems for the space shuttle. The hostage escaped. Police Chief Harold Hurtt said Phillips bought the .38-caliber revolver March 18, two days after receiving an e-mail citing deficiencies in his job performance. a copy of the e-mail was found in Phillips’ lunch bag on the day of the shootings, police Lt. Larry Baimbridge said.
Blue Angel Jet Crashes During Air Show BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) - Raymond Voegeli was backing out of a driveway when a Navy Blue angel jet suddenly came ripping through a grove of pine trees and crashed, showering his truck in flames and debris. The jet went down Saturday during an air show, plunging into a neighborhood of small homes and trailers and killing the pilot. witnesses said six Blue angel jets were flying in formation at the Marine Corps air Station when one crashed, sending up clouds of smoke. “It was just a big fireball coming at me,” said Voegeli, a 37-year-old plumber. “It was just taking pine trees and just clipping them.” witnesses said metal and plastic wreckage, some of it on fire, hit homes in the neighborhood, located about 35 miles northwest of Hilton Head Island. william winn, the county emergency management director, said several homes were damaged. eight people on the ground suffered injuries that were not life threatening, said Capt. Sarah Kansteiner of Marine Corps air Station Beaufort. an investigation has begun, but Kansteiner said Sunday that she could not say anything about the cause of the crash.

rain waters Plant sale BY saraH GammILL
Rain, wind and cold weather didn’t seem to be a deterrent for shoppers as they came out in the thousands to Cal State Fullerton for The Arboretum’s annual plant sale over the weekend. Formed in the early 1970s by a faculty member’s wife, Greenscene started as a small plant sale that has grown into Southern California’s largest plant sale. Beginning on Friday, over 85 vendors from as far away as Santa Barbara set up for the two-day event. “It was quite muddy out there, but we’ve been able to get out the crew, repair all the damaged roads and get rid of the mud,� said Greg Dyment, director of The Arboretum. The event was scheduled to press on rain or shine. Vendors who did not show up due to the rain would be very sorry, because so many people did come, Dyment said. Promptly at 10 a.m. the gates opened to the public, who had been waiting in line as early as an hour beforehand to enter the event. “We had a line all the way out to Yorba Linda Boulevard of people standing waiting to get in,� Dyment
said. The plant shoppers also had wagons of all shapes and sizes in hand. “It looks like a wagon train, it’s like those old-fashioned movies where everyone just goes berserk,� said Mark Costello, manager of the group. “At 10 a.m. it’s just chaos.� For the many that did wait out the cold and unpredictable weather to enter, they had many plants, fruits, baskets, lawn furniture, pottery and jewelry to choose from. The “California Organic Gardening Club� was present and offered a variety of plants including rare tomatoes and some that turn purple. As the canopies filled with vendors stretched throughout the 26-acre arboretum, many seemed to forget about the weather that had been ailing staff and vendors. “I thought that with the rain we wouldn’t get as many people, but it’s been busy, very busy,� Dyment said. Some aisles were a tight squeeze with too many wagons passing through. Many vendors came to Greenscene simply for the amount of customers that pass through their tents throughout the two days. “We have good customers down here, � said Jo O’Connell, owner
From Page 1 Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino, presented a workshop on the hate crimes issues in the U.S. and what is being done to punish offenders. “Well over 45 states have hate crime laws,� Levin said. “We have both state and federal laws.� According to Levin, thousands of cases of hate crimes are reported each year across the country, but the actual number of occurrences is likely in the hundreds of thousands. “Most victims don’t end up reporting,� Levin said. Orange County, Levin added, sees about 100 to 200 reported cases of
hate crimes each year. She said that reporting these cases is the only way the country will ever be able to bring about change. The importance of reporting occurrences highlighted another workshop as well. Kathy McCarrell, a former senior social worker for the County of Orange as well as former executive director of the Orange County Child Abuse Prevention Center, hosted a workshop where she spoke about the social effects of child abuse and domestic violence on the individual. “I believe the core of social justice is the individual,� McCarrell

The event also featured a bug safari, a seed planting exhibit and crafts in the children’s garden, making Greenscene different from other plant shows. “I come here every year,� said David Garcia, a 10-year attendee of Greenscene. “I come here for the stuff you can’t buy at Home Depot.� One of the most popular items was a Kangaroo Paw plant, which sold out quickly. “You can’t go to any nursery anywhere and see this diverse collection of plants and be able to take them
home with you,� Dyment said. For others, rare fruit, plants and miniature rose booths seemed to be popular. “I have seen a lot of unusual plants in my time, but today the carnivorous plants were very unusual,� Dyment said. Food was also available, with Knowlwoods selling hamburgers, fries, barbecue sandwiches and smoothies. “Mr. Fertilizer was also on hand to give help to the crowd about the upkeep of gardens and plants. The event is expected to have raised $50,000 for The Arboretum.
said. “Your childhood shapes you immensely.� The primary focus of the workshop was to alert those in attendance of the pervasiveness of child abuse in the U.S. In 2005, she said, there were 36,000 reported cases of childhood abuse in Orange County alone. McCarrell also spoke about the issue of domestic abuse and the fact that police stations still do not have a place to collect information on the occurrences, despite their frequency. “Women and children, statistically, are safer outside the home than they are inside,� McCarrell said. In between workshops, a lunch was provided, allowing attendees a
break in order to digest all the information they learned. A meatless, Thai-style buffet along with organic iced tea broke up the long day of workshops and speakers that lasted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We chose vegan because the environmental damage and energy waste that livestock-farming produce are overwhelming,� Saiedi said. “We really wanted to expose people not only to messages of change in our 24 workshops, but also to expose them to alternative ways of living.� Saiedi said, “We can no longer stand at the sidelines and watch our nation and our world be stripped of its potential.�
From Page 1 where that dialect came from, Himmelheber said. Each dialect reveals the characters’ background, point of view, and socioeconomic status. “You’re rooting for all of the characters,â€? Himmelheber said. “It’s as if each one of them is their own antagonist.â€? Throughout the show, each character must come to terms with his or her own life situations, and they all do so by interacting with each other and overcoming their struggles with tap dance. This was a struggle for some of the actors, because they had to learn the tap numbers and then deconstruct the dances to look like their characters are struggling with the steps. “I trained before I came to college to be the best dancer and aim for that professional world ‌ and my character has a sense of self-deprecating hum – she just does it because she loves it, and she’s terrible but ‌ it means something more than just being good,â€? Wielstein said. Ryan Wagner plays Mrs. Glenda Fraiser, the pianist for the tap class. Himmelheber said Wagner did well playing a woman despite struggles ranging from trying to understand menopause to finding what voice register to use to remembering little female tendencies like smoothing his
dress when he sat down. The other characters really developed their characters well too, according to Himmelheber. For example, Dorothy, played by Kimberly Fisher, is quirky – an aging mother, but also a “child trapped in a woman’s body,� said Himmelheber. Maxine, played by Monique Gonsalves, sells second-hand dance clothes at the studio and during class. Gonsalves was also part of the cast for “The Diviners,� a student written play by Patrick Pearson. His play showcased in New York the week prior to the “Stepping Out� opening, so Gonsalves needed an understudy in case she wasn’t able to get back in time. After announcing the need for an understudy, Himmelheber met Jennica Hampson on the way back to her office, who told her that she was “very interested� in taking the understudy part. When she entered her office, Hampson had left her a phone message and an e-mail as well. Himmelheber said she just couldn’t say no to someone that dedicated and knew she had found her understudy. Hampson will be performing for the 2 p.m. shows on April 28 and May 5, and the 6:30 p.m. show on May 29.

Gaming Green With the King of Coffee Starbucks teams with Santa monica-based Global Green USa to bring an environmental game to the internet Daily Targum (Rutgers)
(U-WIRE) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. - The fictional town of Evergreen needs your help. Your mission: Explore the town, look for ways to reduce the impact of global warming and conserve as much energy as possible. That’s the premise of a new and free online game created by the partnership of Starbucks Coffee and Global Green USA, a national environmental organization. “Planet Green Game” is a hybrid, being both educational and commercial. By correctly answering quiz questions and scoring points on a variety of minigames, players can learn different ways to help the environment. Each destination a player visits presents its own specific challenge. Players can even visit Starbucks in the game to learn about a promotion to encourage caffeine lovers to bring their own mug to the iconic coffee outlet during April. “It’s an innovative way to raise the profile of the climate issue,” Starbucks Director of Environmental Affairs Ben Packard said. The game is part of Starbucks’ strategy to “green up” its brand. In the past, the company announced how much of its coffee is Fair Trade Organic and what percentage of the materials in its cups are made from recycled material. There’s even an earthy feel to its color scheme, which has always centered on a forestgreen logo. According to its Corporate Social Responsibility Report, the well-known retail chain has

nY may Limit Video Game Sales as part of his children’s agenda, new York’s Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced his intention to ban sales of explicit games to minors. The law, which he called the “Safe Games act,” was unveiled with the rest of the agenda Friday. The speech was posted to his Web site and can be found at http://www. ny.gov/governor/keydocs/0420071_ speech.html. The law has not been introduced to the state’s legislature yet, and Spitzer did not outline what he intended it to specifically do. He did say the law’s intention would be to prevent the sale of violent and sexual games like “Grand Theft auto” to minors.
“How is it that it’s against the law for a child to walk into a 7-Eleven and buy a Playboy,” the governor said in his speech, “yet every day, children walk into video game stores and buy video games that contain far more disturbing images of sex and violence?” among the governor’s concerns were that such games increase sexual and violent behavior in the children who play them. Other portions of the children’s agenda will attempt to provide health insurance and pre-K education to children. He said he also hopes to pass antitobacco and anti-obesity legislation targeting the state’s youth.

How this game will play without the Wii-mote is anyone’s guess.

Regarding “How Many Tragedies until We Have Real Gun Control? 4/19,” Christina Suarez wonders how many tragedies it will take before we have real gun control. i wonder how many more gun-control laws it would have taken to prevent someone intent on breaking the law from breaking yet one more. Let’s look at how many laws the Virginia Tech murderer broke. He violated the law against bringing guns onto campus at least twice. He broke the law against discharging firearms in a restricted area dozens of times. He violated the laws against murder well over 60 times. no doubt, he broke a slew of other laws that day. Would one more have stopped his rampage? Would a hundred? in fact, the gun-control laws already on the books worked as intended. none of the murderer’s lawabiding victims were armed. They obeyed both the law and campus policy, so they couldn’t shoot back. Ms. Suarez also asserts that our number of gun deaths “is increasing daily.” According to the FBi, the number of gun-related murders has been fairly stable since 2001. it stands at about 14,400 deaths per year, slightly lower in some years and slightly higher in others. That’s 40 per day. We would need a Virginia Tech every single day to get the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence’s numbers, which are inflated with suicides. The Virginia Tech massacre was worse than tragic. it was atrocious. Would it have been any less so if the murderer hadn’t used a gun? Would it have been less horrifying if he had waited until his classmates were asleep in their dorms and then lit a match, possibly killing hundreds?

Matthew D. Van Norman Pollak Library EDiToR:
EDiToR: Regarding “How Many Tragedies until We Have Real Gun Control? 4/19” by Christina Suarez, i think the real question should be: how many tragedies will we have if we enact even more gun control? it is unfortunate to see how some have to politicize the deaths of 32 innocent people. nevertheless, the media and Christina Suarez have decided that now is the time to capitalize on this situation, with all of its emotions and fears, to propose their agenda to take away guns. Look at countries that have enacted almost total gun control like England and Australia. Their crime rates, especially of violent crime, are rising since these laws have been enacted. The Sunday Times in the UK reported over 3,000,000 handguns floating around the country’s black market. “Hot” burglaries, which occur while the homes are occupied, are happening more than ever now that the homeowners are mostly unarmed. Millions of illegal guns circulate in the criminal black markets. Why? Because gun laws (there are over 20,000 of them in the U.S. by the way), indeed all laws, only affect the law abiding. Criminals don’t worry about the make, model, round capacity or legal registration of the weapons they use. They simply acquire them by any means necessary and use them. of the 250 million guns in America, less than 1 percent of these guns are used illegally and most of these guns are illegally owned in the first place. in the U.S., 31 states have recently enacted laws to allow their citizens to carry concealed weapons legally. Since then, these states have experienced drops in their crime rates unheard of in states that haven’t produced such legislation. “More Guns, Less Crime,” by Dr. John Lott, documents this data pretty well. Crime was reduced! More guns on the street, in the hands of responsible and law abiding citizens, resulted in a significant reduction in crime. Can you imagine if every place was a “gun free” zone? As you must know, the Supreme Court has ruled that police have no obligation to individual needs, only community-wide issues. if i needed help, i’d hope the police weren’t busy. Gun control simply doesn’t work because it targets the wrong group. it leaves innocent citizens disarmed
and helps criminals not get shot. The second amendment was not about “hunting Bambi,” it was about keeping an armed and prepared citizenry to prevent governmental abuses like what the English perpetrated on the irish, Gaels and Scots or what white southerners in power did to blacks who were prohibited from possessing weapons. The Constitution doesn’t grant this right to bear arms; it protects it as an inherent right of humanity. if we unilaterally disarmed the populace, we would no longer be a free democracy where the citizens wield the power. We would be a police state, governed and ruled by those politicians that “know what’s best for all of us”. At its best, gun control is well-intentioned wishful thinking. At its worst, it is an attack on all American freedoms. Daniel Coats
Recently i was walking across campus to my office when i received a text message to read page six of the Daily Titan. This peaked my curiosity, so i picked one up and flipped it to “Ugly Mondays: The First Time” by Jeff Klima.
i began to read and was shocked and disgusted by what i read. The more i read the more infuriated i became. not only is this an atrocious article, but also portrays the Greek Community and his own fraternity in such a repulsive light. We are not “frats,” we are fraternities! We strive everyday to diminish the “frat” stereotype that is on television, in the movies and in people’s minds. not every fraternity man is looking to score or “suck down gin like it came out of a tit.” This just pushes the stereotype even further into people’s minds. Why not examine the GREAT things Greeks do? This weekend Greeks came together and raised $15,000 for Camp Titan! How dare he insult the Greek Community with this filth! if he does want to spread this kind of message, then don’t use “greek” anywhere in the message. The inter-Fraternity Council’s mission statement is: “We, the iFC Executive Board, strive to incorporate individual members in an interfraternal experience that will build leadership, promote character and live by the expectations set by our chapters, university and community while presenting a positive fraternal experience.” All chapters have similar mission statements and creeds. All chapters expect a certain kind of character portrayed in their members, and this is not the kind they expect. Clearly, he does not know what it means to be a Fraternity Man. Tristan Hilpert Inter-Fraternity Council President-Elect Dear Executive Editor: Upon reading “Ugly Mondays 4/16,” i was appalled at the vulgarity used by Jeff Kilma. As a woman i found the sexual description and nature of his article a gross attack on women as a whole. Granted that the section is opinion, there is expected to be some disagreement in his articles. However, as executive editor you are expected to screen such vulgarities just as any manager would of their employees. Thank you for your consideration. Cristina Rivas

Ugly Mondays BY Jeff
Klima
A Greek Tragedy poor little Greek system, you were standing there perfectly innocent until i rode up one day and raped you all with my immoral thoughts. i wish the newspaper didn’t have to censor me dropping the F-bomb because it would look really good right here. We spend so much time trying to be good sweet people dedicating our time to charity, we have no time for lascivious thought and action. Damn, i need that F-word again. imagine my surprise at arriving in class one sunny Thursday morning, spreading the paper wide to gander at the opinion section and there is a letter decrying my good name. Having been in the Greek system longer than the author, i guess i learned a few more things in that time, and chiefly what i learned is that no one buys it, except the Greek system. We in the Greek system, and that means every damn house, drink and have sex. Sure there is the occasional person who doesn’t engage in drinking and/or sex, and good for them, they’ll be alive long after all us drinkers and screwers are dead from cirrhosis and leprosy of the penis. Sorority girls, guess what? You drink and have sex with fraternity boys! You drink and have sex with non-fraternity people as well, and some of you don’t, but a lot of you do. Refrain from being hypocrites until i finish my column, m’kay?
i was verbally attacked and made out to be less than a gentleman because i said in my previous column that fraternity guys enjoy having sex and like to help their fraternity brothers get sex as well. Guess what? We do! Anyone who infers that we don’t is a liar, naive and a stupid human being as far as i am concerned. And that sentiment goes for any other Greek that refuses to admit that the Greek system parties. The Greek system on this campus and others is held back, not by its “stereotypes,” but by its avoidance of the stereotypes. i wouldn’t even call them stereotypes, they are pretty damn accurate a lot of the time. i recognize that the Greek system is more than alcohol and sex, i never said it wasn’t, but for whatever reason, those attributes are rife in our Greek system. To say they aren’t is retarding the image of the Greek system. Have i done charity work for my fraternity? Yes. Have i helped people in my fraternity and out of my fraternity? Absolutely. Do i drink and have sex? Hell yes i do! Am i still a gentleman? Without a question in my mind. What the “stereotypes” leave out most of the time, is the positive aspect of Brotherhood that makes the debauchery pretty much excusable. But since that aspect of fraternity life was left out of the open letter to the school regarding my last column, maybe the stereotypes had it right all along?

Titans Softball Can’t Finish Sweep Against Pacific CSUF isn’t able to fend off Pacific’s rally as they fall 5-4 in Sunday’s finale
Pacific. Down to their final three outs, Fullerton began a rally of their own on Baker’s third double of the afternoon. The next batter, Jessica Doucette, crushed a Chelsea Engle pitch over the left-center fence, cutting the Tigers’ lead to 5-4. That was all the fight the Titans had left in them, however, as Engle
sat down the next three batters in order to end the game and give Pacific their only victory of the series. The loss dropped the Titans to 2718 overall, and 9-3 in the Big West Conference. Pacific improved their season totals to 32-15 overall, and 7-2 in league play. Engle (18-10) earned her win by pitching all seven innings, allowing
four runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and just two walks. Baker (16-10) received the loss as she allowed five runs on six hits, four walks and five strikeouts. Only three of the runs Baker allowed were earned, due to the sixthinning errors by the Titans. On the offensive side, Baker finished the game 3-for-3 with three doubles and two runs batted in.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team finished their regular season with a 6-1 win against UC San Diego on Thursday afternoon, extending the Titans’ winning streak to five consecutive matches. The victory improves the Titans’ record to 6-15 overall as they finish up their regular season and look forward to the Big West tournament where they are expected to play Cal State Long Beach in the first round. “We had a hard season at the beginning of the year,” Gina Le said. “It was a learning experience for us this year because we had a lot of new
players.” CSUF began the day by sweeping the doubles match to take an early 1-0 lead. Le and Mai-Ly Tran dominated their opponents 8-2. “Normally, Gina and I are really shaky at the beginning,” Tran said. “But we came out strong and had the same mindset so we played really well.” The Titans were equally dominant in the singles matches, beating out UCSD 5-1. Jerusha Cruz, a freshman, played extra hard to insure a win for the seniors playing in their last match. “This last match was for our seniors,” Cruz said. “I just wanted to do well for them and that kept me motivated.” For some seniors, such as Le, this
match marked the last home match ever to be played on the Titan courts. Le spoke about her experience as a Titan. “I tried to take what I learned the last four years,” Le said. “I came out a little bit nervous but I had to try to focus and realize that it’s just like any other match.” Tran is also a senior and just wanted to have fun and approached the match with a carefree attitude. “I knew this was my last match at home,” Tran said. “I just wanted to go out and have fun and I very happy that we won today.” Even though Tran will graduate and move on with her life, she still says she will come back to support the team. “I’m going to try to make to as
many matches as I can next year,” Tran said. “I am really close to the other girls on team so I will come back and show my support.” The Titans are ranked the No. 7 seed in the Big West tournament, as they are set to play No. 2-ranked Cal State Long Beach on April 25. The tournament will be hosted in Palm Springs. “I think Long Beach is a great team,” Le said. “However, I think we can take them.” For Cruz, the next match will be her first time playing in a Big West tournament. “We just got to be ready and play our game and we should do well,” Cruz said. “For me personally, I have just got to be mentally and physically prepared.”

The Pacific Tigers softball team scored two runs in the each of the last two innings to hold off a Titan rally and defeat the Cal State Fullerton 5-4 Sunday at Anderson Family Field. The Tigers capitalized often on extra outs and free bases given to them by the Titans. All five runs scored by Pacific were due to walks, errors and a hit batter. In the second, the Tigers got the first lead of the day when Lauren Weyman scored on a double hit by Brianna Santos. Candice Baker and the Titans answered in the third inning, when Baker came home on a Lauren Lupinetti double to tie the score at 1-1. Baker drove in a run in the fourth inning on her second of three doubles, scorching the ball into right field, scoring Whitney Kroh from first. The score was 2-1 until the sixth inning. After a walk to the Tigers’ Jennifer Curtier, Weyman hit a sacrifice fly to move her to second base. Alyce Jorgensen also walked, and an infield single by Karie Wilson loaded the bases for Casey Goldsand, who singled into left field to score two and put her Tigers in the lead. Pacific stretched the gap between themselves and Fullerton in the seventh. After two errors and a walk to load the bases, Jorgensen singled to center field, scoring two more Tigers and making the score 5-2 in favor of

Titans Put the Hurt on Pacific Tigers Three game weekend sweep improves CSUF’s Big West record to 7-2 BY ANDREW SNYDER

In beating the Pacific Tigers 121 in Sunday’s matinee, the Cal State Fullerton Titans baseball team completed a weekend series sweep and extended their winning streak to 16 games over their Big West opponent. It was a game that looked much like Friday night’s match-up as the Titans’ offense tallied 12 runs and 15 hits while showing stellar defense in the field. Titan outfielder Josh Fellhauer took away a base hit when he made a diving catch in left field, Clark Hardman prevented the Tigers from taking a 1-0 lead early by throwing out a base runner at home plate from center field, and Evan McArthur showed solid defense at third base, making multiple tough plays. Titan starting pitcher Michael Morrison didn’t give up a run in five and one third innings. He allowed only four hits and struck out three. With a man on first base, Fullerton kickstarted their offense in the second inning when McArthur belted his second home run of the series and season, giving them the early 2-0 lead. McArthur finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs. In the fourth inning, the Titans would add more to the scoreboard on Matt Wallach’s RBI double to right field and giving him 12 RBIs on the season.
BY CARlOS DElgADO/Daily Titan Staff Photographer BUSTING OUT – Titan Evan McArthur is congratulated by teammates. McArthur would later reach base on a bunt single and score on Joe Scott’s RBI single. Scott finished 3-for-4 with an RBI. The Titans bats exploded in the sixth inning, scoring seven runs.
CSUF would bat around, stringing together four straight hits and adding a few walks to the scorecard. Wallach walked to lead off the inning and was followed by McArthur who again reached base on a double, leaving men on second and third.
After a Pacific pitching change, Titan second baseman Corey Jones came to the plate and smoked his first home run of the year, a threerun shot over the right centerfield wall on the first pitch he saw. Scott, who had three hits in the game, would continue the production with a triple to right field. Hardman, who is now batting .370, singled to drive in Scott from third base. Hardman now leads the Titans with 32 RBIs on the year. CSUF Head Coach George Horton is very pleased with what he is getting out of his line-up and looks for it to continue. “Corey Jones had a big at bat. He had been struggling,” Horton said. “Everybody has kind of contributed in different ways and guys that we count on to be hot have been hot. So I like the way the offense in functioning.” The Titans were up 9-1 but looked to keep it rolling when Nick Mahin hit the second three-run home run of the sixth inning, making it 12-1 and giving Mahin his fourth homer of the year and 26 RBIs. The Titans would hit for the cycle as a team in the sixth inning with two home runs, Scott’s triple, McArthur’s double and Hardman’s single. When asked about how he felt his team performed, Horton said he enjoyed what he saw. “I like the way we’ve gone about our business,” Horton said. “I think the story of this series was pitching and defense. Fellhauer’s [play] today and two plays yesterday. That gives you a chance to win.” The Titans improved to 26-12 overall and 7-2 in the Big West Conference. The Tigers fell to 10-31-1 overall and 0-9 in the Big West.

... And One BY Jonathan Saavedra
Handicapping the NBA Playoffs Anything can happen in a postseason that has a white-hot Golden State Warriors team seeing its first playoff action in 13 years, the Miami Heat looking more like an average team rather than defending NBA champions and the Dallas Mavericks coming off of a 67-win season to capture what they thought they had in last year’s finals. Here’s a look at what might happen. Western Conference Dallas Mavericks (No. 1) vs. Golden State Warriors (No. 8) This match-up looks to be one of the more exciting series in the entire playoffs, let alone the first round. The Warriors seem to have Dallas’ number considering Golden State has a 6-0 regular season record against the NBA’s best team over the past two seasons. You can’t count the 67-15 Mavericks out, though. But I’m going to go ahead and do just that. I’m going to go out on a limb here and give ex-Dallas coach Don Nelson and his Golden State Warriors the edge in what I think will be an up and down seven-game upset. Golden State in seven. Phoenix Suns (No. 2) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (No. 7) These two division rivals meet again in a rematch of what was one of the most dramatic playoff series in 2006. Los Angeles finally has an entire roster intact for the playoffs, but it might be too little too late for Kobe Bryant and his Lakers. Bryant might be able to help lift his team enough to win two games, but I can’t see these Lakers flipping a switch after los-
ing eight out of their last 12 – two of those losses coming against Phoenix – and winning a series against a 61-21 Suns team. Phoenix in six. Utah Jazz (No. 4) vs. Houston Rockets (No. 5) These two squads haven’t had very much success in the playoffs in the past 10 years and that’s about to change for one of them. The Jazz have the regular season advantage over Houston, winning three out of four, but Utah seems to have cooled off a bit since March 13, winning just eight out of its last 20 games. The dynamic duo of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady will lead its team to success in the first round. Houston in six. San Antonio Spurs (No. 3) vs. Denver Nuggets (No. 6) They don’t call Allen Iverson “The Answer” for nothing. He is the exact answer to the question, “Can these Denver Nuggets make a legitimate run in the first round?” With Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets charging into the playoffs on the same page, I can see them giving the Spurs a little run for their money. San Antonio has an answer to Denver’s answer, though – experience. Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry are all usual suspects in the playoffs. The Nuggets should be able to pull away with two wins, but the Spurs will take a deep breath and roll into the second round. San Antonio in six.
