Furious resident slices home in two HILLSBORO, Ohio (AP) – A man angry that he wasn’t going to be sold a house is accused of using a power saw to turn the abode into a convertible.

Rodney Rogers apparently thought an acquaintance was going to build a house and sell it to him, and he was living in it while it was being completed, Highland County Sheriff Ronald Ward said Wednesday.

After the acquaintance refused to complete the sale, Rogers used a power saw last week to make a lateral cut through the walls and siding at about chest level, authorities said.

He cut all the way around the house, Ward said.

Only one thing was keeping the top half of the house in place on the bottom half.

“Gravity,” Ward said.

Rogers remained free pending a court appearance on Thursday.

A straight flush is a hand that has five consecutive cards of the same suite. An ace can be the low card before a two. It is the second-best hand in poker, behind the royal flush.

An impressive hand on its own, four of a kind isn’t easy to get. It requires four out of the five cards dealt to be all of the same value. In the rare case of two four of the kinds, the hand with the highest quad wins.

A term more closely related with the hit sitcom that debuted the Olsen twins, a full house in Texas Hold Em is a hand that consists of two cards of the same value and three cards of another value.

This hand is exactly what it sounds like, three cards of the same value. Also known as trips, when two hands have three of a kind, the pot goes to the player with the cards of the highest value.

The California Faculty Association responded to recently announced pay raises for California State University executives at a time when student fees continue to increase.

CFA President Lillian Taiz said she was struck by the anger of students and faculty from the CSU campuses over the increases in salary for university presidents and CSU Chancellor Charles Reed while, she said, CSU tuition has doubled over the last five years.

“We believe there is a climate of arrogance and a lack of meaningful oversight,” Taiz said during the Tuesday afternoon telephone conference.

Taiz said the CSU Board of Trustees are resolute on the issue of raising salaries for CSU executives.

“They seem to have an obsession with executive salaries,” Taiz said. “There are a lot of problems the CSU faces, but this seems to be the only one they are determined to work on.”

Chancellor Reed has defended the pay raises saying that there is a lag between the salaries of CSU executives and executive salaries around the country.

But Taiz is skeptical about the taxfunded study, which CSU executives cite.

“There is some question about the underlying data,” Taiz said. “This study was not made public to state policy-makers.”

Taiz said the added perks that CSU executives enjoy were not considered in the study.

“As the Lieutenent Governor pointed out to them, even the folks who did the study for them recognized that if you include their perks, the gap closes considerably,” Taiz said.

CFA Communications Specialist Brian Ferguson said these perks include a $50,000 per year housing allowance and a $1,000 per year car

allowance.

Ferguson said the CFA has done research and found out that many of the CSU executives already own homes and cars and pocket those allowances.

“That’s just pure cash on top of what they already make,” Ferguson said.

Taiz pointed out that the extra $50,000 perk is more than an incoming assistant professor usually makes.

With his raise, Chancellor Reed will make more money per year than the head of the more selective and prestigious UC system.

Though there are 23 CSU cam-

puses and only 10 UC schools, Taiz said the UC presidents have bigger responsibility with law schools and hospitals.

“He makes more than the President of the United States,” Taiz said.

But the biggest issue is not that executives are getting raises, it’s that they are coming during a time when money is tight in the CSU budget.

Cal State Fullerton anthropology Chair Jack Bedell said last week that he is bracing for cuts in funding for programs in his department.

Bedell said he expects to lose more than $40,000 in funds, while enrollment continues to increase.

“We have a responsibility to give students access,” Bedell said. “But access to what?”

Bedell said students should get access to the classes they need.

“You want to be giving them access to a quality experience,” Bedell said. “You don’t want to give them access to a physical dump.”

Taiz said students are getting less, but paying more, and reiterated disapproval of the trustees’ decision to raise salaries while the quality of CSU students’ education declines.

“It’s the unseemliness of doing this sort of thing at a time when they’re raising student fees,” Taiz said. “The additional monies that they’re putting into executive paychecks we could use for more classes. Students are not getting what they should be getting.”

The CFA also announced the roll out of a Web site supporting AB1413, a bill that the CFA says would prevent the Board of Trustees from “taking actions that are politically embarrassing to state lawmakers.”

INTERNATIONAL NEWS Protests in Myanmar persist despite government ban

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) – Thousands of Buddhist monks and prodemocracy activists marched toward the center of Yangon Wednesday in defiance of the military government’s ban on public assembly. The junta had banned all public gatherings of more than five people and imposed a nighttime curfew following eight days of anti-government marches led by monks in Yangon and other areas of the country, including the largest in nearly two decades. The latest developments could further alienate already isolated Myanmar from the international community and put pressure on China, Myanmar’s top economic and diplomatic supporter, which is keen to burnish its international image before next year’s Olympics in Beijing.

The potential for a violent crackdown already had aroused international concern, with pleas for the junta to deal peacefully with the situation coming from government and religious leaders worldwide. They included the Dalai Lama and South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu, both Nobel Peace Prize laureates like detained Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. On Wednesday, about 3,000 monks and 4,000 students along with members of Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy set off from the Shwedagon to the Sule Pagoda in the heart of Myanmar’s largest city, where dozens of riot police and soldiers were waiting.

STATE NEWS Outdated vehicle registration loses city money LOS ANGELES (AP) – Forty percent of motorists caught by the city’s $15 million red-light camera system weren’t sent traffic tickets during the last year because drivers or license plates couldn’t be identified. At least $1.1 million was lost from unissued traffic citations, police figures showed. Officials had expected an 80 percent citation rate. For each $381 red-light ticket given, the city adds $157.19 to its coffers, the Police Department said. Glare from windshields and license plates interferes with about 2 percent of the camera images. But the biggest obstacle has been outdated or unidentified vehicle registrations. From May 2006 to April 30, police were able to cite just 10,882 of the 18,035 violators caught by the red-light cameras, according to a Police Commission report. The bulk of violators who weren’t ticketed were driving vehicles registered to people who no longer own them.

Depressed real estate market hinders home buyers Purchasing a house can be easier for those who exercise some patience

By Christin Davis

Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com

Recent events in the real estate market have proven disastrous for millions of first-time homeowners.

But for students looking at the crisis from the outside, from the safe confines of an apartment window, recent events may provide them with the keys to start moving furniture straight in – if they are ready.

With housing prices across the country sinking and homeowners defaulting on current mortgages, the recent housing crisis provides an opportunity and a lesson for students who have been waiting for the right time to buy a house.

For senior Kevin Heimlich, business/finance major and president of the Cal State Fullerton Real Estate Association, now is not the time for students to consider buying a home.

“The market is in a downward spiral,” Heimlich said. “In 2008, billions of mortgages will reset and lenders will be in trouble. When they reset, homes lose value and people with loans for 100 percent of the home’s value won’t be able to meet their payments. Wait until the

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Two provisions of the USA Patriot Act are unconstitutional because they allow search warrants to be issued without a showing of probable cause, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. Portland attorney Brandon Mayfield sought the ruling in a lawsuit against the federal government after he was mistakenly linked by the FBI to the Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people in 2004. The federal government apologized and settled part of the lawsuit for $2 million after admitting a fingerprint was misread. But as part of the settlement, Mayfield retained the right to challenge parts of the Patriot Act, which greatly expanded the authority of law enforcers. Mayfield claimed that secret searches of his house and office under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act violated the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure. The Mayfield case has been an embarrassment for the federal government. Last year, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog faulted the FBI for sloppy work in mistakenly linking Mayfield to the Madrid bombings. That report said federal prosecutors and FBI agents had made inaccurate and ambiguous statements to a federal judge to get arrest and criminal search warrants against Mayfield.

good time to buy.”

“Prices are low and going down consistently,” he said. “There are a lot of choices out there but my biggest advice is to make your first buy your first investment.”

Finding a real estate agent who will be a good representative in searching for homes and through the process of purchasing is essential.

LaCour-Little said, “I always tell people to decide on an area before deciding on a house. The triangle of where you live, shop and work should be reasonably compact.”

When meeting with a realtor, be detailed in preferences for house types and amenities and then look at as many options in the bracket of affordability as possible, Lacour-Little said.

Be wary of loving any house too soon so that all options can be judged objectively. Pay attention to the area, the nearby schools, the neighbors.

Once the offer is placed and the home moves into escrow, be sure to have every inspection completed before making the final acceptance.

Inspections for things like pests, dry rot, hazardous materials, landslides, earthquake faults, flood plains and crime statistics reports can prevent large problems later.

Before signing the deed and title documents, like Heimlich said, “Just make sure you’re not biting off more than you can chew.”

Technology helps get the news on Myanmar Associated Press Cell phones and the Internet are playing a crucial role in telling the world about Myanmar’s pro-democracy protests, with video footage sometimes transmitted one frame at

a time. Reporters Without Borders said Wednesday the junta has cut some cell phone service.

On the other side of the world in Oslo, a shoestring radio and television network called the Democratic Voice of Burma has been at the fore-

front of receiving and broadcasting such cyber dispatches by satellite TV and shortwave radio.

Chief editor Aye Chan Naing said the station, founded in 1992 by exiled Myanmar students, is able to pass on nearly real-time images and

information about anti-government protests — unlike in 1988, when a similar uprising was shut down in a bloodbath that left more than 3,000 dead.

Those inside Myanmar receive information about the protests.

Everyone’s dealing at CSUF’s Texas Hold Em

By Christin Davis

Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com

With every flip of a card and every drop of a chip, the tension and magnitude of each decision captivated contenders in the third Texas Hold-Em poker tournament of the semester.

The game requires careful consideration.

Once two cards are dealt to each player, everyone must push forward his bet and the dealer lays out the flop—several cards to be used by all in the forming of a perfect hand.

Another round of betting occurs and another card is added to the flop. More betting, and a fifth card is revealed.

At the end of each hand, the goal is to have the best five cards possible.

Forty students sit in small groups around multiple green felt tables at the tournament’s beginning; six were eliminated within 20 minutes.

“It becomes addictive–when you’re winning,” junior Carlos Salazar, a music major, said before play began. “The luck factor has so much to do with it–even the greatest player can get knocked out if they get the wrong cards.”

Titan Bowl and Billiards Manager Ken Maxey, also an avid poker player, attended a conference about recreation center programming and liked the idea of starting on-campus Texas Hold-Em tournaments as a way for students to escape daily stresses.

“This is a nice place to come down and take a break from the rest of campus,” Maxey said, having now officiated more than 30 tournaments over the last few years. “Students can come and play just to play–just to enjoy the game.”

Poker is a game that requires skill, strategy and luck. Concealing the next move is crucial, as evidenced by many of this tournament’s competitors who tilted hats low or donned dark sunglasses to shield any possibility of game-compromising signals – “tells” as they are called in game terminology.

“This is a very strategic game,” Maxey said. “If you play right, your two cards can win with enough mental strategy.”

A few lucky stacks of chips grew around the room, but others dwindled—progressively emptying chairs and soliciting forlorn expressions.

“I had an ace and a five [card],” said senior My Nguyen, a business

major, upon elimination. “Someone else had a higher pair—that’s HoldEm.” After an hour of play, only 22 players remained.

“How many have been knocked out?” one contender asked. “So I’m in the top 25? That’s pretty good.”

Other players weren’t as lucky.

“I thought I had a good hand,” said junior Jaime Lara, a history major. “Turns out it wasn’t.”

Yet another player was peacefully uninvited from participation.

“There’s so much psychology in-

volved,” said junior Isaak Lee, a business major, who has been playing poker for about two years. “I love to sit and read people—you can watch their body motions and see them tense up or stare at one spot when they have a certain hand.”

As they are dismissed, players are given points according to their finishing place.

The tournament winner is given recognition on a plaque in the Titan Student Union, but really play for entrance to the Tournament of Champions.

Each of the tournament winners and the eight players with the highest points (who have not won a tournament) are given spots in the final competition on Dec. 5.

Fending off bad cards for twoand-a-half hours, senior Tam Nguyen, a finance major, finally claimed the game title–he had won the third tournament this semester and will be guaranteed a spot in the running for tournament champion. “[Poker] is a way to kill time,” Tam bashfully said after his win. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Iraqi prime minister fears escalation of attacks Associated Press Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki told the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday that terrorism is threatening to erase any gains made in reducing sectarian killings and establishing democratic principles in his country.

He also warned that Iraq’s neighbors must stop the continued flow into his country of weapons, suicide bombers and funding for terrorism, saying there would be “disastrous consequences” for the region and the

world if they failed.

“National reconciliation is stronger than the weapons of terrorism,” al-Maliki said. But he said healing is “not the responsibility of the government alone. Today we feel optimistic that countries of the region realize the danger of the terrorist attacks against Iraq, that it is not in their interest for Iraq to be weak,” he said.

Al-Maliki praised what he said were many recent successes in Iraq.

He cited the calming of regions like Anbar province in the west, a recent drop in sectarian killings and the re-

turn of thousands of displaced families to their homes.

But terrorists are targeting this “new Iraq,” he said.

His statements came as a wave of bombings and shootings swept Iraq on Wednesday, killing at least 50 people.

ment said.

“We are in communication with Orange County Vector Control because it is their job to eliminate the mosquitoes. The same thing goes for the university,” Dyment said.

While no certain area of the campus is deemed as high “liability,” the Orange County Vector Control is in contact with the university and will pick up dead birds it deems suitable.

“We are very concerned about [WNV] on an ongoing basis,” said Scott Bourdon, the associated director of Safety Programs at Environmental Health and Instructional Safety for CSUF. At the Environmental Health and Instructional Safety center’s series of “tailgate” training sessions are conducted every month for most of the staff. In the training sessions tips are given to the staff regarding WNV. “Like if they’re in a certain situation, how to avoid being bit by mosquitoes or who to contact if you have symptoms,” Bourdon said. “There hasn’t really been any changes in the procedures because the disease itself hasn’t changed.”

When it first hit, they promoted training sessions, letting the staff know the procedures with dead birds and how to prevent mosquitoes.

“The policies have changed a little.

We used to call the [Orange County Vector Control] to pick up any dead birds, but now they’re not really taking the birds. I just tell employees about the ways that they have to protect themselves,” Bourdon said.

All the places that are of concern to the Orange County Vector Control have their own policies on how to deal with preventing the spread of mosquitoes.

“They all have special procedures.

For example, the CSUF biology building has a pond with fish that eat mosquitoes,” Bourdon said.

Bourdon has two pieces of advice for students regarding the WNV. “If you’re going to be outdoors, make sure to use mosquito repellent, and if you see sources of standing water have that taken care of, have

the water changed out.”

Bourdon also advises his staff to avoid outside activity at dawn and dusk during mosquito season, wear long pants and shirts when outside, place mosquito netting over infant carriers while outdoors with babies, make sure that doors and windows have tight fitting screens and drain all standing water on property.

Unfortunately for CSUF, if a student was to contract the virus, the university does not have the tools needed to treat them on campus.

“We wouldn’t be able to treat them here, we would have to have them treated by another medical facility.” said Mary Hermann, director of Health Education and Promotion at the Health Center.

Hermann explained that the staff at the Center does not have the screening tools available to test for the virus, and the infected student would have to be transported to a hospital.

“Students should avoid interaction with mosquitoes in the early morning or late evening especially,” said Hermann.

On Sept. 13, Gov. Schwarzenegger signed an executive order providing up to $10 million in additional emergency relief for local mosquito control agencies.

“Protecting public safety is government’s top job – that’s why I’m committed to ensuring our local agencies have all the tools they need to fight this deadly mosquito-borne disease. Today’s action also gives priority relief to local areas with the highest risk of West Nile Virus,” said Schwarzenegger weeks earlier.

Since taking office, prior to the recent order signed, Schwarzenegger has invested more than $15 million to fight the infection he referred to in a press release as an “imminent threat to persons and property caused by West Nile Virus.”

“Your life is going to be on hold for five to 10 days,” Labonte told the Herald about dealing with the disease. “I don’t know how severe I had this thing. I know for five to 10 days I wanted to be in somebody else’s body.”

Titan Editorial

Providing insight, analysis and perspective since 1960

Profanity can lead to loss of First Amendment rights The decision of the The Rocky Mountain Collegian, a student newspaper at Colorado State University, to publish the phrase “Taser this...Fuck Bush”, was to say the least, self-serving and ineffective.

The editors published the phrase on an editorial last week for the sole purpose of stirring up controversy, expecting to draw national media attention for their headline. They said it just to draw attention to themselves. As college students running a university newspaper, it’s a tempting opportunity. We know, we’ve considered it.

The incident of the tasering involved a student who abused his chance to question a democratic senator in an open forum by becoming unruly and refusing to cooperate. You ask a question, the speaker responds. That’s how an open forum works. He didn’t follow the rules and should have left calmly. Free speech has limits and he abused it, just like the person who screams “Fire!” in a crowded theater.

Likewise, the Collegian editors misused an open forum just to draw attention to thesmelves. There are ramifications for that as well.

Advertisers reportedly pulled $30,000 worth of advertising in response to the editorial, prompting the cutting of their budget by 10 percent.

The best thing to come out of this is the “Don’t Taze Me Bro” bumper sticker.

The Daily Titan believes, however, that when profanity is part of the news, we will not shy away from publishing it.

OPINION

The NFL season could not have come at a better time

By Siamak Djahanshahi Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com

After finally making it through a summer full of scandals and arrests in the NFL, it’s about time we get to watch some quality football being played.

As an avid football fan, it’s been a pretty frustrating summer when every other day I went on ESPN.com I found a new news story about a football player being suspended or arrested for substance abuse, drunk driving and of course we can’t forget dog fighting.

I really don’t think these controversies have affected the normal NFL fan though. Just like they say in the entertainment industry, “Any publicity is good publicity.” That rule really does apply, and we’ve found that out from baseball.

Their attendance has only gone up since the steroids scandal broke out five years ago.

Football fans are more accepting of the violent and questionable behavior that the professional football players seem to so regularly show. We forgive and forget our players as long as they perform on the field. You saw that when Bears fans were still supporting Terry “Tank” Johnson even though he got arrested in the middle of the year when they were attempting to make a Super Bowl run.

Maybe as fans we should just pay attention to what the game has to offer us, and not what each of these individuals give us. On any given day your favorite player can get suspended from the NFL for a year because he decided to “make it rain” in a strip club.

Entertainment is entertainment for us fans. Whether Bill Belichick was spying on the New York Jets or not, their fans still will support him

and will watch their team no matter what. We all have some sort of competitive nature in us, which is why we love sports so much. When your team does great you’re excited and when they aren’t you’re arguing with your friends about what went wrong with them.

Art for the Daily Titan by rocky vidal Do the Patriots really have a shot at going 16-0? With a 3-0 start and completely dominating their opponents they’ve definitely shown they are clearly the best team in the NFL and have the offensive and defensive firepower to play any style with any team.

Three weeks into a fresh 2007 NFL season we’ve learned three simple things. Number one, don’t underestimate how good Bill Belichick and the Patriots really are. Number two, don’t fire your head coach and revamp your entire coaching staff after turning in a 14-2 regular season record (Chargers). And number three, if you’re a team that happened to play in the NFC championship game the previous year, it probably might have been smart to improve your squad in the offseason.

After week one’s “spy games” fiasco some people questioned whether Belichick and his Patriot teams were successful only because of those tactics. Questions soon answered by a dominating performance against the San Diego Chargers, a team that they sent home packing in last year’s AFC Divisional Playoff game.

With AFC East division having a down year to go along with the talent that this Patriot team possesses, they have a realistic opportunity to do something that has not been done since 1972: go undefeated.

The Patriots have shown they have the number one offense in the NFL with their dominating passing game and balanced run attack. Their 1,323 total yards leads the league and 114 total points scored are second best to only the Dallas Cowboy’s 116.

With the addition of wide receivers Randy Moss via trade and Wes Welker via free agent status, Tom Brady has been running the show like never before. We’ve always thought of Peyton Manning as being the best passing quarterback in the NFL, but when Tom Brady has the right weapons he can be the best in the league.

His 141.5 passer rating and 79.5 percent completion rate are by far the best in the NFL. While completing 70 of 88 of his pass attempts, 10 of those were touchdowns and only one interception. Five of those touchdowns have been to a resurgent Moss who has looked like his old self again.

The San Diego Chargers, however, are on the other end of the spectrum.

After finishing last season with their best record in franchise history dating back to their AFL debut as the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960, the Chargers have started this season 1-2 and are looking like a divided team.

Well what do you expect to happen when you abruptly fire your head coach well after the season ended? Marty Schottenheimer has an all-time winning percentage of 61.3 percent to go along with 200 wins. A resumé that a handful of head coaches can say they have. Only four head coaches have won over 200 games in their careers and they all happen to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Because the Chargers waited so long after the season to fire him, all the hot commodities were already taken. Former Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders Head Coach Norv Turner was their final choice.

Coaching with the Washington Redskins from 1994 to 2000 ,his teams only made the playoffs one time and had a record of 49 wins and 59 losses. While with the Raiders from 2004 to 2005, Turner missed the playoffs both seasons and only won nine games in two years.

It boggles the mind to see a franchise that has so much talent on their roster dump a head coach that has been so successful with that talent, and replace him with a man that has no head coaching ability that somehow keeps getting jobs. The man was successful as an offensive coordinator, and that’s exactly what he should have stayed as.

Based on what I’ve seen so far this year the Patriots and the Cowboys are my picks to get to the Super Bowl. Both teams are clearly the top contenders in their respective conferences. The Cowboys have showed that their defense is just as legitimate as their offense. So look for the Cowboys to cruise through a weak NFC.

Jake’s Take The college senior epiphany The real world is closer than ever, and you love/loathe it. The real world’s a lot like the exceptionally attractive drunk member of the opposite sex at a party: it’s annoying and scary how close it is to you, but you still want it. Hot damn, do you want it these days.

The problem is that you don’t know if it is properly armed.

When you become a senior in college, you know you’ve evolved, but can’t cite anything from biology when you actually studied the subject of evolution. You’re brilliant, but aren’t ever 100 percent sure where you parked your car, though it’s usually in the same area. You’ve accomplished a few years of higher education, and the only thing you know for sure is that you don’t know enough. Actually, everything you know is totally irrelevant.

All the pretty thoughts floating around in your head aren’t really educational (you just coincidentally learned them during your stint at a university). All the real facts that you do have are lodged in your skull like bullets. Your teachers were sharpshooters, and they started hurting so bad, you began to ignore them. Most of what you know can’t be used in the real world and won’t be useful on a resumé.

Some realizations included in this grand epiphany: You don’t know or care what the difference is between Monet and Manet, but you have questions, theories and arguments as to why your school is a Pepsi institution and not one of Coke.

Your entire knowledge of northern geography is from “D2: The Mighty Ducks Are Back” when the Icelandic trainer tells Coach Bombay that “Greenland is covered with ice, and Iceland is very nice.”

You’ve remembered the line since you first saw the film in the mid-’90s. However, you’ve never actually bothered to look it up to see if it was true.

The only source you trust other than your parents is Wikipedia.

You know how to text message in class without being caught by the professor, but still aren’t entirely sure who led the French Revolution.

While navigating yourself through campus for what is to be your last year, you realize that you’ve gone through several cars, cell phones and lovers, but aren’t entirely sure which ones you miss the most. You catch yourself recounting which you’ve dropped more of: classes or “friends with benefits.”

And maybe you moved out in college, which was the wildest experience you ever put yourself through. You learned how to interact with friends instead of family.

But you weren’t clean for the first six months that you moved out, as the shower was usually filthier than the fridge (where you found several dead flies in the vegetable drawer).

You were poor and learned the value of money. You were always dirty and hungry. At one point, you were using shampoo as both soap and body wash (‘cause around sophomore year, you started spending more money on shots at the bar than on hygiene at home). And, on one particularly long evening, you stole your roommate’s girlfriend’s edible underwear to eat as a fruit snack when you were trashed the night before your midterm, watching six hours of Discovery Channel, even though the next day’s exam was on film music.

Your biggest accomplishment: not dying after living several years off of Top Ramen, mac & cheese, cereal, pizza and copious amounts of alcohol, which forced you to eat the most horrendous combinations of edibles.

But the fun’s over. It’s serious business now.

During your most difficult class, you find yourself having “concern attacks.” They’re not as extreme as panic or anxiety attacks.

Actually, they’re more like “awkward conversations with yourself.” If anyone asks, you’re telling them you need fresh air, but college students haven’t needed fresh air since the first time they were accidentally hot-boxed by some shaggy stoner at a party in a peace sign shirt. “Fresh air” is different for smokers and nonsmokers. Fresh air for smokers is a shaky cigarette on the balcony.

Fresh air for non-smokers is pacing back and forth in an empty bathroom, mumbling to yourself junk words of confidence and hapless strings of pseudo-philosophy.

And now, to top it off, you’ve recently started catching yourself actually raising your hand in lecture classes, even though you’ve held a grudge for years against everyone who ever spoke voluntarily, thinking they knew something you didn’t.

But your hand keeps shooting up repeatedly, as if you’re making up for lost years of proving to professors that you actually took notes (aside from feeling compelled to draw mustaches on every face icon in any packet you were ever handed). You want your last instructors to know that they got through to you and you care about education.

What’s stuck inside your heart and your head is this nostalgic blend of pride and fear, loosening your grip on where your feet stand.

Sure, you’re not handing yourself credit for being impressively knowledgeable of facts and statistics, but consider how much you’ve taught yourself to learn, theorize and educate yourself for the future. You have a new method and new respect for what the process of learning is to you.

There’s poetry written on the inside of your skull and sparks on your tongue, and that real world’s ready to hear something pretty.

FeaturesPurple pops this fall fashion season

Phlogging

By Cameron Pemstein

Since this is the last photoblog before October, I wanted to start my month of Hollow’s Eve early. Have you ever noticed when walking through the quad that all but two benches are shaped like coffins? LIKE WTF? So next time you want to sleep eternally, hit up the quad. And, next time that you’re on your way to class (if you do read this photoblog), you’ll think of what I said in this blog. You’ll think of how I pointed out something new about this school to you.

You’ll remember what I had to offer you. YOU WILL REMEMBER ME FOREVER!

Associated Press The color is ubiquitous in fall clothes, and no wonder. It’s flattering in many shades, and is friendly to most skin tones, hair colors and ages. As a mailer from Barneys New York Co-op, the more casual division of fashion arbiter Barneys, declared “purple is the new black.”

Purple was prominent on the fall runways, from Anna Sui to Vera Wang, and Wang also uses it as a key color in the debut of the Simply Vera line at Kohl’s. Purple shirts are worn under almost every cardigan or jacket in a J. Jill catalog, and Catherine Beaudoin, general manager of online shoe shop Piperlime.com, says it’s a strong shade for accessories.

“It’s definitely popping,” Beaudoin says. “I think it’s very wearable in accessories — shoes, handbags, scarves and gloves. It’s often very dramatic to take a strong color and wear it on your feet or wrap it around your neck over an otherwise subdued outfit.”

Yahoo! Shopping added a “shop by color” feature earlier this month that divides options on the site into 56 color categories. One recent day, lavender was the seventh most

popular dress color and purple was the ninth. Perennial favorites, such as navy, black and red were the top three. In the handbag and wallet category, purple was No. 9.

“It’s more unusual to have these great bright colors for fall. You sort of expect it for spring,” says Susan Kaufman, editor in chief of People StyleWatch, which labeled purple one of the top shades of the season.

(The others were fuchsia and cobalt blue.)

If you want to follow conventional wisdom, an eggplant purple falls into the category of deeper colors normally associated with cooler weather, Kaufman says. But, she suggests, if you want to get noticed, try something that borders magenta.

“Purple happens to be my favorite color,” says Nicole Fischelis, fashion director at Macy’s. “I love purple because the symbolism of purple itself is very interesting, it’s linked to power and spirituality.”

She also loves it because it looks so good with black and gray, fall’s other key color, or trendy silver or patent leather. “It looks fabulous in knitwear but also charmeuse for a feminine blouse and chic dress,” she

explains. “It looks good in a jacket silhouette and, for accessories, it can be in suede, leather or patent — or even colored bangles.”

J. Jill makes the case on its selling floor that light purples like lavender look great with chocolate brown.

Purple’s prominence has led to other hues that hadn’t been seen for a while, including lilac and hot pink — all of which are in the same family, Fischelis says.

Piperlime’s Beaudoin says the popularity extends to deep bourdeaux and even grape.

Investment in any of these shades is probably a wise one as they were also featured in many of the spring collections previewed for fashion insiders earlier this month.

Finola Hughes, star of Style network’s “How Do I Look?”, has already made her purple purchases, including patent leather clutch purse and a satin blouse that she plans to wear under a paler purple cashmere cardigan by Phillip Lim. “I never liked purple before this season, but it looks so vibrant now,” says Hughes. “It doesn’t look so ‘80s to me, probably because it’s being worn with gray flannel.”

Vick tests positive for marijuana The Associated Press

The disgraced Atlanta Falcons quarterback tested positive for marijuana earlier this month, a violation of the conditions of his release as he awaits sentencing in federal court on a dogfighting charge that already jeopardizes his freedom and career.

Now, he’s incurred the ire of the judge who could sentence him to up to five years in prison in the dogfighting case. On the day of Vick’s guilty plea, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson warned that he wouldn’t be amused by any additional trouble.

Hudson, who will sentence Vick on Dec. 10, on Wednesday ordered him confined to his Virginia home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. with electronic monitoring. He also must submit to random drug testing.

If Vick fails another drug test, he likely will wind up like co-defendant Quanis Phillips — incarcerated since his Aug. 17 plea hearing. Phillips failed a drug test when he had the electronic monitoring and random drug testing requirements.

Vick’s positive urine sample was submitted Sept. 13, according to a document by a federal probation officer that was filed in U.S. District Court on Wednesday.

Because Vick violated the conditions of his release, Hudson could take that into consideration during sentencing, said Linda Malone, a criminal procedure expert and Marshall-Wythe Foundation professor of law at the College of William and

Mary.

“Every judge considers pretty seriously if they feel that the defendant has flaunted the conditions for release,” she said.

“It’s certainly not a smart thing to do.”

Especially not when his behavior is being watched so closely, not only by the court that allowed him to remain free, but by the public whose forgiveness he’s seeking.

In Atlanta, Vick’s one-time teammates tried to distances themselves from his latest troubles.

“That’s the last thing I’m worried about,” linebacker Keith Brooking said at the Falcons’ suburban practice facility. “We’re 0-3. We’re trying to get a win.”

Safety Lawyer Milloy agreed.

“I just want to play ball,” he said.

“I’m so tired of talking about everything else, stuff we can’t control that has nothing to do with us.”

The failed drug test is just the latest legal trouble for the 27-year-old Vick.

On Tuesday, Vick was indicted on state charges of beating or killing or causing dogs to fight other dogs and engaging in or promoting dogfighting. Each felony is punishable by up to five years in prison. His arraignment on that is set for Oct. 3.

The former Virginia Tech star was placed under pretrial release supervision by U.S. Magistrate Dennis Dohnal in July. The restrictions included refraining from use or unlawful possession of narcotic drugs or

other controlled substances.

The random drug testing ordered Wednesday could include urine testing, the wearing of a sweat patch, a remote alcohol testing system or any form of prohibited substance screening or testing.

In January, Vick was cleared by police of any wrongdoing after his water bottle was seized by security at Miami International Airport.

Police said it smelled of marijuana and had a hidden compartment that contained a “small amount of dark particulate.”

Lab tests found no evidence of drugs, and Vick explained that he used the secret compartment to carry jewelry.

The federal dogfighting case began in late April when authorities conducting a drug investigation of Vick’s cousin raided the property Vick owns in Surry County and seized dozens of dogs, most of them pit bulls, and equipment associated with dogfighting.

Vick initially denied any knowledge of the enterprise, then pledged after he was charged that he would fight to clear his name. After Phillips and two other co-defendants pleaded guilty, Vick followed suit and admitted in a written plea to bankrolling the enterprise and helping to kill eight dogs that performed poorly.

Vick was the only defendant not placed on electronic monitoring at the arraignments because he was the only one with no criminal record, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.

Jason Kornfeld

The Korner

Feeling the Dodger Blues The baseball season isn’t even over and the Dodgers have already gone fishing. The losing skid and diminishing play lately had me scratching my head, initially.

Then reports surfaced last week that there is a public feud going on between some of the veteran and younger players.

With this information being revealed, it’s no wonder why the Dodgers unraveled as rapidly as they did.

But their current decline is irrelevant, because it’s time to think of the future, which should begin with firing Grady Little. It should continue with a few roster tweaks, but nothing desperate.

Let’s start with the disgruntled veterans.

Apparently, Jeff Kent and Luis Gonzalez question the team’s decision to start some of the younger players every day, instead of veteran players.

Reportedly, some players are privately upset that no move was made at the trade deadline to ship out some of the younger prospects for proven veterans.

Kent posted a respectable .302 batting average with 20 homeruns and 79 RBIs this year. He is obviously upset because his window to win a world series is closing, but there was no move to be made that would have improved the team.

The most viable option talked about was acquiring Mark Texiera. Thanks to the superb play of first basemen James Loney, Texiera made no sense.

Have you seen what J-Lo has done in half a season? He is hitting .335 with 14 home runs and 63 RBI’s. For the mathematically

incompetent, this translates into roughly a .335 average or so, 28 bombs and 126 RBI’s. Um, I think that is quite productive.

Nomar Garciaparra had no choice but to move to third base with the stellar play of Loney.

Speaking of Nomar, does anyone else think having twin girls is a bad idea?

Nomar needs to be around more testosterone because he is magically powerless.

Now, onto Gonzo. Gonzalez is hitting .275 with 15 long balls and 67 RBI’s. The production isn’t bad, but his fielding, combined with Juan Pierre, is atrocious. He is too much of a defensive liability at this stage of his career.

He is really nothing more than a DH, at best, and his impossible quest for 3,000 hits is blinding his rationale.

His replacements have been Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier.

Kemp is hitting .331 with 10 homeruns and 40 RBI’s. His arm is definitely better than Gonzo’s, but his defensive reads in the outfield are still raw.

Ethier is hitting .288 with 13 homeruns and 64 RBI’s. In the two seasons he has played, he has continually been amongst the elite with outfield assists. Had he played every day, consistently, this season, his power and RBI numbers would theoretically be higher.

Another “young” player that has been ridiculously fantastic is Russell Martin. He has posted a .297 batting average, with 18 homeruns and 85 RBI’s. He also led the majors in games caught and is atop all the statistical cate-

gories for National League catchers.

Some people feel that the youth movement has failed, but this isn’t the case. The expectations were just a year premature. This team should have enough experience to be serious contenders next year.

A bat like Alex Rodriguez won’t hurt their chances, either.

As for young pitchers, Chad Billingsley is 12-5 with a 3.09 ERA, which begs the question: Why or how did Grady Little choose Brett-freaking-Tomko to take the fifth place in the rotation when the season began?

Which brings me back to Mr. Little.

Besides his unenergetic personality that rivals a lecture on why bees risk their life when stinging, for most uninteresting topic, his managing decisions are appalling.

He is consistently inconsistent with his fielding lineups, and his pitching decisions are even more mind-boggling.

He overworks his relievers and never knows when his pitchers have reached their limit.

Basically, give Little the hook, tell Jeff Kent to shut the hell up, tell Gonzo to watch his juiced season highlights from 2001 where he magically hit 57 homeruns and the Arizona Diamondbacks won the World Series and give Alex Rodriguez whatever the hell he wants.

Unless that includes trading our young prospects, of course.

And yes, I said “our.” I’m a freaking Dodger. You want to fight about it?

I’ll be busy sending in my resumé for Dodgers’ Manager.

Slow start and strings of errors lead to sweep of the Titans on Tuesday by siamak Djahanshahi Daily Titan Staff Writer sports@dailytitan.com

The visiting Loyola Marymount Lions swept the Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team 3-0 Tuesday night in the Titan Gym. The Titans turned in a sub par effort in the third match of their three-match home stand.

The Titans dropped game one 2130 while committing seven errors and hitting .191. In game two they lost 23-30 with eight errors and a .184 hitting percentage. The Titans gave it one last hard push for a victory in the final game, but fell short 28-30 while committing 11 errors and hitting .140.

“Unfortunately we started off with a string of bad passes that dictated the mood within the first six to eight points of the game,” Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman said. “It was tough to shake it the first two games.

It kind of became an epidemic. We

got more competitive in game three [and] had a chance, but a series of errors again took us out of it.”

Team leader Brittany Moore led the way for the Titans with a teambest 15 kills and a .250 hitting percentage. Alex Wolnisty chipped in with 10 kills but unusually hit .000 with 10 errors for the match. Teammate Jennifer Francisco had 11 kills and Erin Saddler had 10.

“I think we need to come up with a little bit more energy than we’ve been bringing. We have pretty high goals set for ourselves,” Wolnisty said. “So if we want to reach the
