Barack Obama’s picture on a bulletin board in the Humanities Building at Cal State Fullerton has been replaced nine times. His portrait, on display in front of the African American Resource Center since the beginning of the semester, has been crossed out, ripped from the wall and even covered with a “Yes on 8” sign, said Tiana Coleman, coordinator for the African American Resource Center. “In this election, you cannot ignore race,” Coleman said. Last night, Coleman watched as Sen. Obama, the first African American Democratic presidential candidate, was elected President of the United States. She spent the evening watching the election results at the African American Resource Center, feeling a boost from seeing this historical race come to a close. Sitting in the resource center with a dozen other AfricanAmerican students, it is hard to ignore just how far the civil rights movement has come. Born in 1961, the same year the Freedom Riders rode through the Deep South in buses demanding change, Obama has watched much of the history of civil rights in America unfold. He was a child when Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were assassinated and urban city riots ensued throughout America. In 1961, U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy told the world that the United States was moving so fast in race relations that an AfricanSee RACIAL HISTORY, Page 2

Inside Titan Student Union Pavilion B, a smoke machine laid a cloud-like carpet across the knees and restless feet of those who waited in anticipation to hear the historic results of the presidential election. The group of voters stood and some danced to music, while staring at a large projection screen with Wolf Blitzer reporting CNN’s projections state-by-state.

No on Proposition 8 supporters faced fierce oppostion throughout California Attorney for the Democratic Party of Orange County Steve Bollinger (middle) listens Tuesday as Orange County Registrar Neal Kelley (right) tells Jeff LeTournea, head of “No on Prop. 8” for Orange County (left), Temple Baptist Church in Fullerton may dictate who is in on their property beyond the 100-foot barrier. The advocates were not removed from the property although Orange County Registrar Neal Kelley said the church had a say over who remained on its property beyond the 100-foot buffer from the entrance to the polling place. Activists from several precincts in Orange County reported harassment from polling places, and the issue became heated over whether private property becomes public outside of the 100-foot buffer from the entrance. LeTournea said his office had authorization from Secretary of State Debra Bowen to be on polling sites as long as they were more than 100 feet from the entrance.

race card,” Coleman said. But Obama did address the racial divide in America during his campaign speech, “A More Perfect Union.” “Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, black and white, I have never been so naive as to believe that we can get beyond our racial divisions in a single election cycle, or with a single candidacy - particularly a candidacy as imperfect as my own” Obama said in his address. Yet many believe that Obama has made it possible for Americans to look beyond skin color. “I didn’t just vote for him because
of the color of his skin,” said Robert Collins, a member of the CSUF campus organization, Alliance for the Preservation of African Conciousness. “We have taken a step forward from 50 years ago. We have come a long way. Race can only hold you back if you let it.” Erica Taylor, a CSUF alumna who hosted the election watch party in the center, agreed with Collins sentiment. “It’s not just a historic and important election for African Americans, but for Americans. There have been efforts toward moving away from racism and it represents the change
for America to get us where we need to be,” Taylor said. As news coverage of the election aired all over the world, it was evident that electing an African-American president will have far-reaching consequences for the whole world, Ernest Bridges, Afro-ethnic studies professor, said. “What it (electing an AfricanAmerican president) means is that people are coming together for a movement, just like they did in the 1960s. Now we are coming together to take society to the next level. We are writing the script for the next 40 years.”
Protester riles students By ashley landsman
Daily Titan Staff Writer news@dailytitan.com
A man shouting “Obama’s an idiot!” could be heard approaching the Quad on Tuesday. The crowd of angry students that sorrounded the demonstrator was impossible to miss. Students, most of whom wore “I voted” stickers on their shirts and jackets, shouted at the man who stood alone facing the roaring assemblage. “Obama’s an idiot,” the man shouted again at the hostile crowd. “Paul,” the man who was shouting, carried a grand black sign that read, “Looking for Change? Then do what Christ said and repent ... The faded blue shirt he wore read: “The Bible” in big, red capital letters. His khaki shorts were held in place with a worn brown leather belt with a built-in pouch to rest the enormous sign he carried. The 63-year-old retired Los Angeles Harbor fireman, who refused to give his last name, said he is trying to communicate what he thinks is right. He said the crowd would not listen because they were “hostile.” He uses large signs and controversial banter to get “the most bang for his buck.” He hoped to draw attention to the Constitution Party and their candidate, Chuck Baldwin. Paul said his party doesn’t get enough attention and he is willing to do what it takes to gain attention. According to the party’s Web site, their mission is to, “restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law

foundations.” Paul, who said he was at the Democratic National Convention, thinks Obama is a socialist who is “very destructive.” “Hitler was a national socialist,” Paul said. Franklin Robinson, a biology major, missed his afternoon class to confront Paul with a megaphone in front of the crowd of passionate onlookers. Men and women stood with their arms crossed and anger in their eyes as they watched the solitary man silently walk away from questions posed by onlookers. “The most important thing you can get out of this, is to get out and vote,” Robinson, a 21-year-old junior, announced to the emotional crowd. “Let me see the bullhorn,” Paul demanded. “This is contaminated with black people,” Robinson sarcastically snapped back, to the laughter and cheers of spectators.
“You can’t help but to use the race card,” replied Paul. More shouting from the impatient crowd ensued, as campus police watched. “I wish he could just focus on love and understanding,” Robinson said, referring to Paul’s insulting Obama. After Robinson put away the megaphone, he offered Paul some water, with onlookers watching. Paul spat on the ground toward Robinson’s feet, prompting angry responses from some. Carrying his sign a little lower, he walked over to two campus police officers for refuge. “See how they treat me? They make me feel bad,” Paul said. After the angry gathering finally dispersed, Paul sat quietly on a concrete wall. “Why so much hate for Obama?” 25-year-old junior Will Urias asked. “Obama’s an idiot,” replied Paul.

Lacrosse club a worthy adversary to nationally ranked Div I teams By Jessica Cartie
For the Daily Titan
sports@dailytitan.com
The Cal State Fullerton lacrosse team proved to have a fighting chance for the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association National Championship this year as they “rose to a new level” at the UC Irvine Tournament on Oct. 25. Titan Lacrosse, a Div. II team under the MCLA, was matched up against two highly ranked Div. I teams, Claremont College and UC Davis at the weekend tournament. The first match was a face-off against No. 18 Claremont. CSUF was in the lead almost the entire game but couldn’t hold on as the team lost 6-5 in the final two minutes of play. The Titans moved on to later play UC Davis. They were down by five points, but rallied in the last 12 minutes to tie the game 8-8. The Titans ended the tournament with an 8-1 win over Div. II Concordia University.

CSUF’s lacrosse club team will be putting on their poker faces at their third annual Casino Night fundraiser Friday, Nov. 7 held at the Fullerton Community Center in downtown Fullerton. The squad hopes this night of gambling, dancing and entertaining will become an annual event marked in everyone’s calendar. “We want the event to continue to be successful, where every single year people look forward to casino night and they talk about it,” senior Lenin Rueda said. After a night of poker, blackjack and roulette, guests can exchange their chips for raffle tickets in hopes to win a prize giveaway. At last year’s event, videogame systems, gift cards and pricey adult beverage sets were raffled off. Even some of the players raffled themselves off. This year the prizes are just as promising.

Supposed star Greg Oden is ‘Trail Blazing’ his own legacy of disappointment By Simon Liang
Daily Titan Columnist sports@dailytitan.com
The second game of the NBA season was supposed to be epic, with two of the league’s young centers facing off against one another. It was Andrew Bynum versus Greg Oden, the beginning of a decade-long rivalry. Both were coming off season-ending injuries. Both are 7 feet tall with chiseled bodies. They intimidate any player that comes down the lane. It was like a dream come true for NBA fans. However, the unfortunate happened. Thirteen minutes into his professional playing career, Oden came down with another injury. Two words came to my mind when he went out of the game: Epic fail. This is happening again? What is going on with Oden? No one doubts his talent or hunger. When healthy, he has the defensive ability that the great Bill Russell possessed. Once again, everyone will have to
wait and see when he comes back. Once again, the city of Portland will be holding their collective breath. Have we heard this story before? Yes, actually twice. Both players were Portland Trailblazers as well. Coincidence? I think not. In 1974, the first overall pick was Bill Walton. He was one of the greatest college basketball players ever. He had the utmost potential to become one of the greatest to play the center position. He did well in his first couple of seasons in Portland, but he missed way too many games when his team could have utilized his magnificent scoring ability. Walton did bring a title to Portland, but he was then shipped off to San Diego, where injuries plagued the rest of his career. Walton was not supposed to be traded to another team. He was supposed to be the cornerstone of their team for many years to come. In 1984, the second overall pick went to Sam Bowie. The Blazers
picked another big man who they thought was a franchise center. This draft is considered one of the best in history; with players such as Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, John Stockton and Charles Barkley. Bowie will always be known was “the player who was picked before Jordan.” Was it a huge mistake by the Blazers? Big time, but who could blame them? The year before they picked shooting guard Clyde Drexler. He went on to have a mediocre career that was marred by knee problems. He never lived up to the potential that many thought he had. It is definitely not fair to compare him with the greatest player of all time in Jordan, but Bowie is still one of the biggest busts in the history of the NBA. In 2007, the Blazers landed Oden with the first overall pick. He was considered a “once in a decade” center prospect. Oden was praised throughout high school and his one
year at Ohio State. Even with all the hype he still delivered, but injuries have overwhelmed him. Everyone knows what he can do, but they thought that about Walton and Bowie as well. The biggest question is: Can he stay healthy to get on the court? The comparisons are similar, almost identical. Three franchise centers, all chosen by the Blazers at the top of the draft. It will either be “three strikes and you’re out” or “the third time is the charm.” Oden’s injury report has got to be as long as the list you have when you go to Costco. He is actually on one of my fantasy basketball teams, so it was crushing to hear he would be out for so long. He worked so hard to get back this season, I hope that he comes back strong and has a successful career.
Men’s and women’s golf to return after two decades Intercollegiate men’s and women’s golf will be reinstated at Cal State Fullerton for the 2009-10 season after an absence of more than two decades. “Our thanks go to the extreme generosity of donors who have committed to raising $2 million for these programs, which will immediately compete in the Big West Conference,” Director of Athletics Brian Quinn said.
“We made a statement and surprised a lot of people,” senior Ricky Martinez said. He added that the Div. I coaches seemed less than thrilled to see the Titans, a third-year Div. II. team, give them a “run for their money.” “The highlight was definitely our cohesiveness,” said one of three captains, Jesse Luchansky. “We played two very solid Div. I teams that could have easily destroyed our team, but we played really well and showed good composure.” As the team prepares for their upcoming season, talk of taking this year’s MCLA National Championship seems to be on everyone’s mind. “We have a great squad this year and we are putting in all the hard work right now,” said captain and senior Chasen Cameron at Tuesday’s practice. “Our goal is to win a national championship and I think we have potential to reach that goal.” The team will be playing a national schedule next year starting Jan. 31 with their home opener against Concordia.
“Fullerton has been the only one of the nine universities without a men’s golf team and one of only three (UC Santa Barbara and Pacific) without a women’s team.” Jason Drotter will be interim director of golf operations and coach both teams. He currently is manager of Super Sports Golf and Recreation Center in Orange. He also was the coach of the boys’ and girls’ golf teams at Villa Park
High School for the past six years. “During my brief involvement here, I am convinced that the athletics department is second to none. Given this, the strong support of our donors and our geographic location, I feel confident in our future success,” Drotter said. Fullerton will practice and compete at a number of local courses. CSUF last had men’s golf in 1987-88 and women’s golf in
1985-86. The golf programs will bring the Titans back to 17 intercollegiate sports – 10 for women and seven for men. The NCAA maximum for golf scholarships is 4.5 for men and 6.0 for women. Five golfers typically compete in a tournament with the four best scores counted. courtesy of Titan Media Relations
Much like the other club sports on campus, the team’s fundraisers contribute to the majority of their $65,000 budget, minimizing their out-ofpocket expenses. “Lacrosse is one of the most developed clubs we have on the SCICC (Sports Club Inter-Club Council),” said volunteer and Service Center Assistant Coordinator Jamaar Walker. “Their budget is large and they need a lot of fundraising, because they are one of the teams that play more consistently.” “(Casino Night) is a huge part of what funds our season,” said senior Chasen Cameron. Tickets are $25 a person and anyone is welcome, he added. Rueda said, “You can go to the bars any night, you can go to the clubs any night, but casino night is once a year and you should definitely not miss it.”

Last week I woke from a nightmare. Sen. John McCain became president, and even worse, Gov. Sarah Palin took his place when the old man died. Palin took every good book out of the libraries. She got rid of sex education in schools, then made contraception unavailable and abortion illegal. Her pregnant 17-year-old daughter became the poster child for underaged pregnant girls. She cleaned out Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus because she had an unlimited wardrobe budget. Polar bears and wolves went extinct after she shot them all. The next day I told everyone about my dream and swore that if it came true, I would pack my bags and leave the country. After all, graduation is right around the corner and I would have no reason to stay. Now that President-elect Obama has won, I, and my parents, sigh with relief. I do not need to follow through with my threat, and my parents will not see their little girl rebel against the U.S. government. In the next four years, the United States will finally stray from the de-
structive path of the Bush administration. My rights will not be taken away because, unlike McCain, Obama will not appoint a Supreme Court judge who will overturn Roe vs. Wade. Obama will help pass the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to ensure women receive equal pay for equal work, and the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation. Healthcare will become universal. By renewing our alliances American diplomacy will be restored, and the Iraq War will end, saving thousands of American lives. On January 20, 2009, the country will take a step forward as Obama is sworn in as the next President of the United States. He is a symbol of hope, progress, change and opportunity, and with his victory, Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream will be fulfilled allowing other barriers to be broken. I feel lucky to be part of such an exciting election in which there were a record numbers of new voters who wanted change and made it happen.

Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com
The United States was a very different place before President George W. Bush assumed office in 2001. The country enjoyed the first balanced budget since 1969 and a surplus of more than $127 billion, according to Bloomberg News. During this time, the U.S. maintained peaceful relations with other countries and savored a glowing image around the world. Many recall these great feats as a part of the legacy of President William J. Clinton, but fail to remember the Republican legislature that worked with him to accomplish those goals. Though the Republicans held control of Congress during the majority of the Clinton years, the balance between the two proved to be successful, as one branch could check the power of the other. In the past, most Americans agreed that having this type of balanced government offered more oversight, thus preventing one political party from gaining too much influence. But since the nation’s economic downward spiral, it appears that the country has turned to the
Democrats in hopes of restoring the financial stamina that has been lost. Now that Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States, the country could have buyer’s remorse if an unchecked federal government does not solve the multitude of problems the nation faces. In the end, will this new Democratic Congress and president have too much power? Looking back on the past administration can answer this question in part. Bush won the presidency in 2000 when the Congress was controlled by the Republicans. Subsequently, for the past eight years Bush has had little to no oversight in his job performance. With this lack of balance in Washington, D.C., it could be assumed that Bush was able to made wrong decisions that may have been halted by a Democratic Congress. The next test for President-elect Obama will be how he handles a lack of oversight during his term. An unbalanced, Democratic-led government could be just as devastating for the country as the previous Republican-led government.

Humorscopes
brought to you by humorscope.com Aries (March 21 - April 19) A tomato features in todays cuisine. Sadly, that’s going to be your pinacle of excitement for today. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You will be strangely drawn to an odd glass sculpture in an antique shop. The proprietor will show it to you with some hesitation, and will be visibly perspiring when you buy it. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) You will finally find your spirit guide today, and your life will take on new meaning. Unfortunately for you, your spirit guide will turn out to have a sense of humor. Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Good day to make sure you are prepared for a big earthquake. Get bottled water, a first-aid kit, canned food, flashlights, transistor radio, sturdy hiking boots, and a feather boa. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Good day to act sneaky. Try glancing sidelong at people, or standing just out of sight. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You will get the peculiar urge to go outside and roll around in something yicky. Also, you’ll notice your ears are getting hairy. Libra (September 23 - October 22) You will have a visit from “The Scourge of Valderia.” He’s thin, small, balding, wears little round glasses, and dresses in a rumpled blue suit. Still you don’t want to cross him. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Today you will be seized with the urgent desire to buy a harmonica, which you will take everywhere with you, on one of those coat-hanger thingies around your neck.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) Today is an especially bad day to try something new involving explosives. Try to keep a low profile. Aquarius (January 21 - February 18) Your neighbors will have a wild party, which you’ll catch glimpses of through the open window. You’ll know you shouldn’t watch, but it’s just hard to imagine how people can do that, especially on a trampoline. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Due to forces beyond comprehension, you will begin talking with a Texas accent. Eventually, you’ll come out with audio tapes to teach this to others, which you will call “Bubba-Bonics”.

Sen. Barack Obama to win New Mexico. Those who watched the screen cheered in unison. Scott Spitzer, assistant professor of political science, said he asked his students to do their own exploratory research and self-reflection to determine who to vote for. “A lot of people are energized,” Spitzer said. At 7:24 p.m. when Blitzer announced Sen., John McCain took Mississippi, the audience did not make a peep and people went on chatting with pals and sipping their beverages. As newscasters prepared to project the national winner, students chanted a countdown ... Across the county, at the California Republican Party’s election night event in the Irvine Hyatt Regency, the atmosphere was still hopeful at the as the clock drew near 8 p.m. As Fox News Channel streamed on two 7.5 by 10-foot screens, the room grew restless upon the announcement that Obama had clinched the presidency. With faces displaying fear, shock and disappointment, the room grew quiet as McCain began addressing his loyal supporters in Phoenix. “Young voters who have voted for him (Obama) so far will realize that they have made a big mistake,” said Clifford Hartman, 20. “This is gonna be Jimmy Carter all over again.” As McCain concluded his remarks, John Mayer’s “Waiting On the World to Change” began playing softly in the large outdoor tent, which held almost 100 people. “It was a very gracious speech,” said Cal State Fullerton ‘82 alumnus Brian Clark, 50. “I just hope for the best and hope that the big fears about Obama don’t come true.” Boos and jeers erupted in the crowd as the president-elect began his acceptance speech. For these Republicans, they now wait to see if Obama will fulfill his promises to the American people. And for Hartman, there is some light in election results. “At least Hillary didn’t win,”
Hartman said. While some students at the TSU were crying joyfully at the results, in Costa Mesa deafening cheers shook Sutra Lounge, where the election night party for Orange County Democrats was hosted. As Barack Obama took the stage in Chicago’s Grant Park to speak as presidentelect, the stuffed club burst with excitement. Ed Chau, candidate for Congress in the 42nd District said he was impressed with the high-spirited rally. “(Obama’s) speech was a great inspiration, and him becoming president is the symbol for the American Dream,” he said. “I think he will make a great president.” Chau said if he can win his own election, he is looking forward to working with Obama on various issues including the economy, health care and education. Destiny Twer, field director for local volunteers for the campaign of Steven Young, said she would talk about this day to her grandchildren. “I can’t believe I’m alive right now,” she said, clenching her fists with glee. She recalled that Democrats were an extreme minority in the county before Obama announced his presidential candidacy 21 months ago. “We used to have to hide under blankets,” she said. “Now you can see (Democrat) bumper stickers on the street!” She said the only thing to top the night off is the moment when Steve Young wins his seat in Congress, for which she said she is very confident (Young was running well behind Republican candidate John Campbell as of press time, according to the Orange County Register). Savinay Chandrasekhar, an Obama supporter since he announced his candidacy, said he was nervous all day long on Election Day, but he has always believed that Barack Obama will “make a difference for America.” “This is a defining moment in our history,” he said. “I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of it and be among other like-minded people tonight.”
