Students pretend to die for statewide earthquake drill Participation in Great Calif. ShakeOut prepares CSUF for the “Big One” DANIEL HERNANDEZ Daily Titan

The Great California ShakeOut struck Cal State Fullerton last week, pretending to kill at least 12 theatre majors who were covered in fake blood and fallen debris outside different areas on campus. The actors, displayed as an example, laid for an hour on uncomfortable cardboard while students poked and pestered them. “You have to keep a straight face,” said sophomore Arron Aguayo with broken shards of glass appearing to pierce the skin on his face. “That’s the hardest part. People coming around messing with you.” A sign standing next to the fake corpses warned students about the dangers of fleeing a building during an earthquake, a message the Environmental Health and Instructional Safety department at CSUF wants to make sure students understood. The event, dubbed The Great California ShakeOut, was held throughout Southern California in an attempt to raise awareness on what to do when the “Big One” rattles. “I want people to remember that moving out of buildings is usually not the best response after an earthquake. Things outside may fall, such as trees, power lines and

unreinforced masonry, particularly during a large-scale earthquake,” said emergency management coordinator Sue Fisher. The recommended method for safety is to drop underneath a desk or table and cover your head, Fisher said. Geologists aren’t able to pinpoint exactly when the next Big One will rumble, but they do have an estimation of when they think the California faults will cause an estimated 6.7 or greater earthquake, said David Bowman, professor and chair of the Geological Sciences Department. The odds of the Big One striking in our lifetime in Southern California are high, Bowman said. Geologists are able to determine that the last big quake occurred in 1857. These big ones, he said, happen every 100 to 130 years, “which is why we talk about it being overdue.” The impending catastrophe could be devastating to local infrastructure. “All of our lifelines that we use that connect us from Los Angeles and Orange County to the rest of the country cross the San Andreas Fault,” Bowman said about water lines, gas lines, electrical lines, oil pipelines and freeways. “If there is a big earthquake on the San Andreas that were to sever those critical pieces… it would be a shock to the entire system that we have.” SEE SHAKEOUT, 3

One of the three Fullerton council members who was ousted from his public seat in the wake of the Kelly Thomas death filed papers in August to vouch for an open seat this election. Don Bankhead, fueled by efforts from recent council decisions attempting to disband the Fullerton Police Department, has been recalled twice from public office. In 1994, he was one of three members recalled from his council seat for voting in favor of a 2 percent utility tax, only to be voted

back in office a month later. “You elected me to the City Council because you trusted me to do what is in the best interest of Fullerton,” said Bankhead in a statement. “You can still count on me to do everything possible to keep our great city safe and economically strong.” Twelve candidates have officially filed with the city to fill the three vacant council member seats.

Southern Califorina’s Fatburger closed local stores during financial struggles, but is now expanding globally

ERIC FARRELL Daily Titan

DANIEL HERNANDEZ Daily Titan

Where there once was a Fatburger in Brea Downtown now sits a Bruxie, a waffle sandwich restaurant. The burger joint that brands itself as uniquely from Los Angeles has been disappearing from the Orange County scene since 2011. But in celebration of its 60th anniversary this year and growing from 40 units to 125—a bulk of the growth coming in the last couple of years—Fatburger has retooled its brand and shipped the restaurant’s Southern California imagery overseas. “We are always looking to open new Fatburgers in any market available to franchise,” vice president of marketing Thayer Wiederhorn said about re-opening up restaurants in Orange County. “A new Fatburger will open back up in Orange County as soon as we are approached by a franchisee who would like to develop the area.” Lovie Yancey and Charles Simpson founded Mr. Fatburger in 1947 and soon dropped the “Mr.” from its name in 1952. Realizing an opportunity to expand, the restaurant began to offer franchises by 1981. Yancey died in early 2008. Fatburger attracted local celebrities early on

and appeared in the sitcom Sanford and Son and the film The Fast and the Furious. The iconic name Fatburger soon began to gain steam with entertainers such as Ray Charles and Redd Foxx, who would custom order their burgers, according to the Los Angeles Times. Wiederhorn bought the burger stand for $7 million in 2003. At that time, he was the CEO and chairman of the board for Fog Cutter Capital Group. However, the company struggled and declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, and later had to sell locations in California and Nevada. The Brea, Irvine and Newport Beach locations were recent Orange County victims of closure.

“The situation in Orange County (Fashion Island) was unique in that the landlord at that particular location would not renew our lease as a tenant, thus the location was forced to close,” said Thayer Wiederhorn, son of Andrew Wiederhorn. Fatburger has since expanded its restaurants globally. With burger stands in China, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, the restaurant chain has further plans to grow in the United Kingdom, Qatar, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey, Libya, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Belarus, the Philippines and Singapore, according to Orange County Register reports.

It only took about two minutes for the tides to change when the Cal State Fullerton men’s ice hockey team made a comeback and roared past the Loyola Marymount University Lions Saturday night at the KHS Ice Arena in Anaheim. Down 3-1 with about six minutes left in the game, defenseman Payne Sauer picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone and fired a low shot that trickled through the pads of the Lions’ goaltender. That goal set off a chain reaction that saw the Titans explode offensively, tacking on two more goals within the next couple of minutes and adding an empty-net goal for insurance to ultimately win 5-3. The two-goal deficit late in the game was a gut check for the Titans, who had let the Lions control the first half of the third period. “At 3-1, we were like alright, we need to do something here. We pulled together, but it could have gone the other way with us hanging our heads

and saying this game is over,” said assistant coach Chris Houlihan. The pace through the first two periods was slower and sloppier than the action-packed third period that saw seven goals scored between the Lions and Titans. LMU struck first at the beginning of the second period when the Titans failed to clear the puck out of their own zone. Hunter Costin of the Lions stripped a Titan defender from behind the puck and stepped out in front of the net, backhanding a puck over goalie Brandon Heethuis. Titans defenseman Jacob Brummett tied the game up late in the second when he built up a head of steam along the sideboards and fired a shot that beat the Lions goaltender low. The Lions entered the third period determined to put the game away, as they swarmed the Titans and bottled the team up in their own zone. A pair of rebound goals by the Lions put them up 3-1. The Titans bench fell silent. “They scored that goal and we were down 3-1, and the whole bench got quiet,” said Sauer. “I’m pretty sure everyone on the bench, including myself, thought we were going to lose.” SEE HOCKEY, 8

FATBURGER: ‘Going global’

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Former Sen. George McGovern died early Sunday at the age of 90. McGovern died at Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls, San Diego on Oct. 21, according to NBC News and a statement issued by the family. McGovern was elected to Congress in 1958 and won the first of his three Senate terms in 1962. He became an early critic of the Vietnam War. In 1968, he campaigned for the democratic presidential nomination as an anti-war candidate. McGovern ran for president in 1972 against Richard Nixon in a landslide loss, winning only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. He was a fierce and outspoken liberal and, according to a 2011 interview statement, his biggest mistake was not sticking to that enough. “If anything, I don’t think the Democrats have been strong enough in clinging to their principle,” McGovern said in the interview. Steve Hildebrand, a spokesman for the family, said in a statement that McGovern died “peacefully” and “surrounded by our family and life-long friends.” Brief by DOMINIQUE ROCKER

Although there are records that Fatburger has moved out of the red in its accounting, some people do not think expanding the brand globally will benefit the company in the long run if it does not have a following here in the United States. Companies generally need to do well locally to expand overseas because the cost associated with expanding globally is enormous, said Cal State Fullerton Marketing Professor Christopher Anicich.

“In-N-Out owns Orange County. I don’t think anybody can beat In-N-Out.” CHRISTOPHER ANICICH CSUF Marketing Professor He believes they are going to have a hard time overseas because “Going global, they’re going to be high priced compared to McDonald’s or Burger King or other (fast food chains) that have gone global,” Anicich said. Anicich said he does not understand how a company could struggle locally while expanding its brand globally. But he does see why they have had a hard time in Orange County. “In-N-Out owns Orange County.

Sunscreen recalled for causing fire

Eloisa Garcia, 20, an employee for Fatburger, takes an order from customers at a Buena Park location.

I don’t think anybody can beat InN-Out,” Anicich said. “They (Fatburger and Five Guys) are so much more expensive than In-N-Out.” Two Fatburger locations still stand in Orange County, resisting the closures that others have felt from the recent recession and Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed by Fatburger. They are located in Aliso Viejo and Buena Park. Karina Velasquez, an international business major at CSUF, said she last ate at a Fatburger when she was about eight years old at a Buena Park location by Knott’s Berry Farm.

Velasquez said Fatburgers are located in areas around Southern California, such as the location next to Knott’s Berry Farm, where people internationally are seeing it. This exposure can help the company globally when selling its brand. But elsewhere throughout Southern California, Fatburger is going to have a hard time competing against In-N-Out. “Just because it’s so convenient, In-N-Out is everywhere, you’d probably just go to In-N-Out,” Velasquez said. “You’d see one more often than you’d see a Fatburger.”

Banana Boat, the famous sunscreen brand, has recalled a halfmillion of their products after reports were made by people who have caught on fire using the product, according to ABC News. Energizing Holdings, Inc., the St. Louis company that produces Banana Boat’s products, said the brand’s sunscreen can potentially cause a fire if a user came into contact with a flame or spark without letting the spray to completely dry. Energizer announced Friday that 23 products of Banana Boat’s aerosol sprays will be taken off store shelves. There have been five cases reported, four in the United States and one in Canada, of burns from the sunscreen in the past year. One case involved a man who suffered a second degree burn standing close to a barbecue grill. “I think you just have to use common sense and not be near an open fire when you put on aerosol anything,” said Darrel Rigel, Ph.D., professor of dermatology at New York University. The valve on Banana Boat’s UltraMist spray makes over-application common, which increases the flammability risk. Brief by KYMBERLIE ESTRADA

DTBRIEFS Meteor shower lights up the sky The Orionid meteor shower peaked early Sunday and was a spectacle for stargazers around the world, according to NASA. Every year in October, Earth passes through leftover debris from Hailey’s comet, which causes the night sky to light up with an array of shooting stars. “The Orionid meteor shower isn’t the strongest, but it is one of the most beautiful showers of the year,” said Bill Cooke, head of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. NASA forecasters predicted to see up to 25 meteors per hour during peak time. The meteors travel through Earth’s atmosphere at about 65 kilometers per second, equivalent to 148,000 miles per hour. The next meteor shower will be the Leonid, which is expected to peak Nov. 17. Brief by KYMBERLIE ESTRADA

Gunman kills four in Wisconsin A gunman shot and killed himself after gunning down seven women in a salon in suburban Milwaukee, killing three of them. According to CNN, the suspected gunman, Radcliffe Haughton, 45, also allegedly slashed the tires of his wife’s car Oct. 4. Late last week, Haughton was issued a restraining order to stay away from his wife for the next four years. Authorities are still working to identify the victims as they try to make sense of why Haughton targeted the people in the salon. Haughton’s wife is believed to be among the victims. Police in Brown Deer, Wis., where Haughton lived, said they have had contact with the suspect in the past, and that he had been recently been involved in “disorderly conduct” and a “domestic violence arrest,” according to CNN. The suspect is thought by police to have used a flammable liquid to set a fire in the building. The Azana Salon and Spa’s sprinkler system helped put out the fire. Brief by IAN WHEELER

Pope announces first Native American saint Pope Benedict XVI announced the first Native American saint during Mass at St. Peter’s Square in Rome Sunday. The 17th-century newly proclaimed saint, Mohawk Kateri Tekakwitha, was among the seven saints to be canonized. The seven new saints include Marianne Cope of the United States, Jacques Berthieu of France, Pedro Calungsod of the Philippines, Anna Schaeffer of Germany, Giovanni Battista Piamarta of Italy and Maria del Carmen of Spain. Born 1656 in what is now upstate New York, Tekakwitha was disfigured and partially blinded by smallpox. She was thrown out of her tribe and converted to Christianity at age 20. She died four years later. Tekakwitha lived a simple life of service with faith and purity, the pope said. “Holiness is absolutely a matter of equal opportunity, but this certainly is special because it marks the first time a Native American becomes a saint,” said George Burke, Vatican senior communications advisor.

SHAKEOUT: Students prepare for ‘Big One’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

From a planning perspective, scientists focus on the preparedness of infrastructure for that particular earthquake, he said. “We are so dependent at getting things across that fault. We’ve never seen what happens if you break it,” Bowman said. Bowman describes a fault as a crack on the windshield of a car. The crack doesn’t have an opening, but it is visible. When an earthquake happens, the crack moves all at once, he said, and the fault moves or displaces along that crack. “If you and I are standing on opposite sides of the fault, we’ll see each other move apart… maybe 30 feet,” he said. Though CSUF sits on many faults, Bowman said, the California earthquake codes are exceptional, and every time an earthquake causes problems, the population learns from them. CSUF updates or retrofits its buildings to meet new standards. “If you walk by the southern part of the library, there’s these funny walls on the outside… those outer walls are actually there for earthquake retrofitting. They were not there when the original library was designed,” Bowman said.

“I want people to remember that moving out of buildings is usually not the best response after an earthquake.”

SUE FISHER Emergency management coordinator The purpose of the Great ShakeOut was to prepare students for what to do when the building begins to rumble. When the buzz of the loudspeaker first sounded to announce the start of the Great California ShakeOut, Jessica Cunningham, a biology major, said she and some other classmates were confused. “We were about to evacuate the building and then she (Fisher) said to get under the table and hold on,” said

All are instructed to take cover under desks, tables or any other solid protected surface. Officials explicitly warn against exiting buildings when the shaking starts because of falling debris.

Cunningham. “Some of us started already walking out the door, so they raced back in and just hopped underneath because we didn’t know what we were supposed to do.” Although the view from the Titan

Student Union did not appear to show much student involvement, Fisher said the drill went according to plan. “This was a campus-wide announcement, so the degree of participation depended upon the per-

son. I heard that many people did participate and learned something from actually looking around at their surroundings with a critical eye on things that could fall,” Fisher said.

OCTOBER 22, 2012 MONDAY

The life behind the profile Though you are reading this right now, you and I will likely never meet. You might find yourself making some form of assumptions about me—forming some kind of mental picture about what I am really like—but more likely than not we will never truly know one another. I will probably remain little more to you than that guy whose article gets skimmed over every two weeks in the Daily Titan, but despite this lack of connection between us, rest assured that I am a human; I have a life with aspirations, interests and troubles much like any other living person. This same idea should be applied to any person one encounters on social media. If anything is taken from the ideas conveyed in this column, I would hope that it’s that behind every Twitter handle and Facebook profile picture is a real person—a real life. Despite the level of anonymity inherent with evolving technology and the very real possibility that you will never perceive more of these people than the shadow they project online, they still deserve to be treated with some level of humanity. I say this because as social media grows, so grows the forum for predators. It’s part of an unfortunate trend that is referred to with the incredibly underwhelming term “cyberbullying”; especially underwhelming when it leads to a death like in the case of a 15-year-old Canadian high-school student named Amanda Todd. Like many introverts, Todd sought human connection through social media. In the seventh grade, the naivety of her young age led her into a sexually inappropriate relationship with a 32-year-old man online whom she believed was around her age. When Todd finally realized the man was not being truthful, it was already too late and she was hounded online by her predator through

#THIS

RICARDO GONZALEZ several fake Facebook accounts. This was compounded by Todd’s rough school life over the next few years when, again, she suffered not only verbal and physical abuse, but near-constant taunting and threats online. The bullying got so bad that Todd attempted to take her own life by drinking bleach. The failed attempt only gave more ammunition to her tormentors. Finally, the young girl took to YouTube in a last plea for help, posting the video “My Story: Struggling, bullying, suicide and self-harm” on Sept. 7. The black-and-white video featured a partially-visible Todd telling her story via flashcards. The teen never got the help she sought, though, as Amanda was found dead a month later on Oct. 10; the latest CBS reporting that authorities suspect no foul play and she most likely committed suicide. A life lost, and its origins and evi-

dence completely traceable through social media. Now, I am not defending suicide as a solution, nor would I ever suggest social media is inherently a tool to be exploited by the predatory (I would be undermining my entire mission here if I did). What I am attempting to get at, however, is the concept of human decency. Because a life has been lost among many others that likely will never get near enough attention or recognition. By this week, social media is still alight with Amanda Todd sympathizers and those who are making jokes at expense of the young girl’s death. She has become a “thing”—a tool like so many others on the internet that we use to make ourselves feel like a good person or that we use to entertain ourselves. The hacker group, Anonymous, has named the man who allegedly tormented Todd since seventh grade in an attempt at vigilante justice, but regardless the damage has been done. Instead of pitying Amanda Todd or—as horrible as it might seem— making fun of her plight, let us all learn something from it. I choose to learn that every handle that graces my Twitter timeline, every Facebook profile pic or Tumblr post I might scoff at potentially have people behind them; people who have troubles that are just as bad as or even worse than those I tackle every day. If I forget that, then these words cease to have meaning.

The second presidential debate sparked heated moments, with moderator Crowley frequently stepping in.

More moderate moderators

If Candy Crowley wants to express her opinion, she can do so away from debates ALEX GROVES For the Daily Titan

The second presidential debate was hilarious for a lot of reasons. There’s no doubt that Saturday Night Live and other sketch comedy shows were given a perpetual goldmine of material to work with. Things were tense between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, but that wasn’t particularly surprising given the Obama campaign’s promise to step up this time around. Indeed, the president showed a marked improvement since the last debate in Denver, and Romney wasn’t pulling any punches either. It wasn’t surprising that both candidates would be fighting for more time to address the other’s points, nor was it particularly outrageous to see them go over their time limits more often than not. That’s why a strong and honest moderator was sorely needed to keep the pace. So whose brilliant idea was it to use CNN correspondent Candy Crowley as the debate’s moderator? Days prior to the debate, Crowley was promising to throw herself into the ring with Romney and Obama by asking follow-up questions. “Once the table is kind of set by the town hall questioner, there is then time for me to say, ‘Hey, wait a second, what about x, y, z?’” Crowley said prior to the debate. That’s something that no moderator should do. Not only does it disrupt the flow of the debate, but also contradicts the point of being a moderator in the first place. By asking follow up questions and being tough on the candidates, it makes it all too easy for a moderator to reveal his or her bias. The moderator’s only functions are to help facilitate the questions that the American people have and to ensure that one politician doesn’t get more time than another. It was simple logic Crowley expressed an aversion to, and that’s why she should have been ousted early on in this process. But perhaps the pièce de résistance of this situation is that when the debate actually took place, Crowley didn’t just uti-

lize follow up questions, she attempted to clearly express an opinion on the events that immediately followed the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Continual back and forth between Romney and Obama on whether or not the President had actually labeled the deaths of four Americans in the region as an act of terror emboldened the political analyst to do something rarely seen in a debate before: fact check the candidates in real time. Obama had stated that from day one he had called the events in Benghazi an act of terror. “The day after the attack, Governor, I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened (and) that this was an act of terror,” said Obama. This stunned Romney and many of the Americans who had been watching the debate because it simply wasn’t true. As it would later be confirmed, there wasn’t a time in the days immediately following the attack in Benghazi that it would be labeled as such. Obama would refer to acts of terror, but there wasn’t a time the administration claimed there was more to the situation than the videos. Perhaps trying to move the debate along, Crowley said a few words that would make the debate worth far less in the long run. She would concede that one side was correct. “He did, in fact, sir,” she said. “He did call it an act of terror. It did, as well, take two weeks or so for the whole idea of there being a riot out there about this tape to come out.” The issue isn’t whether Crowley was correct or incorrect; it’s that she took a side. Whether she meant to or not, she shattered the sanctity of the debate by doing what she did. It’s not for the moderator to decide whether or not a candidate is telling the truth. Granted, it’s important to determine that what’s said is factual. That’s why almost every major news outlet has a system to verify the veracity of statements after everything has been said and done. Fact checking is important, but should be handled after the debate. Ultimately, Crowley’s performance as a moderator could have been done in a much better way. There’s no doubt that she does a good job in her political analysis for CNN, but she clearly wasn’t the ideal choice for a position where personal opinions have to be set aside.

Oscars could use a Family Guy The biggest night for film would benefit from a fresh face, and MacFarlane is it ALICIA PEREZ For the Daily Titan

With the 85th Academy Awards only four months away, the announcement that Seth MacFarlane will host has caused quite a stir. MacFarlane, best known as the creator of shows such as Family Guy and the box office hit Ted, is a controversial figure but a smart choice to help the 2013 Oscars draw in a younger audience. Oscars viewership has declined recently and the academy’s attempt to attract younger viewers with 2011 co-hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco was a failure. According to the Los Angeles Times, viewership dropped 10 percent that year and the two hosts were criticized for their lackluster performance. The LA Times reported that 2012 host Billy Crystal bumped up the ratings 4 percent but, considering it was his ninth time hosting the awards, he was clearly the safe— and even boring—choice. The same year’s Grammy Awards, hosted by LL Cool J, drew in more viewers than the Academy Awards. The producers of this year’s Academy Awards, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, said MacFarlane was the perfect person to make the show “entertaining and fresh.” MacFarlane is criticized for his controversial humor referencing subjects such as religion, race and medical disorders, but Family Guy continues to be one of the most popular shows for the 12 to 34 year old demographic, reaching an estimated 4.3 million viewers according to Entertainment Weekly. MacFarlane’s popularity with this younger crowd and his versatility as a performer brought him success as CONTACT US AT DTOPINION@GMAIL.COM

Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, will be the host of the 85th Academy Awards. He previously presented at this year’s Emmys.

a presenter at the Emmy Awards last month, despite his mistake of speaking into the wrong microphone. After realizing his error, he took an improvised jab at himself in the voice of Stewie from Family Guy and ultimately provided one of the funniest moments of the awards show. Regular viewers of MacFarlane’s shows know to expect potentially offensive humor, but whether or not he’ll bring this toeing-the-line material to the prestigious Academy Awards is the real question. Advocacy groups such as the Parents Television Council (PTC) often accuse MacFarlane’s shows of violating broadcast decency laws, and are now voicing their concerns that he is not an acceptable choice for the awards show host. In a press release, the PTC president Tim Winter asked, “This is the man that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has selected to host next year’s Oscars telecast, following in the footsteps of such Hollywood legends as Bob Hope and Johnny Carson?” However, the PTC’s concerns about MacFarlane’s appropriateness for the

Oscars are moot. In a press release from the academy, MacFarlane referred to the opportunity as a privilege and added, “My thoughts upon hearing the news were, one, I will do my utmost to live up to the high standards set forth by my predecessors; and two, I hope they don’t find out I hosted the Charlie Sheen Roast.” Revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, MacFarlane is more than prepared to rein in his R-rated thoughts and reach his goal of finding the “Goldilocks zone,” which he defined as “classic showmanship and fresh comedy that keeps everything relevant.” MacFarlane’s desire to balance his unconventional humor with a sense of respect for the academy’s tradition of sophistication dismisses all thoughts that his Feb 24 debut as the 85th Oscars host will fall short of the show’s needs. If the Academy Awards producers want to successfully reach a younger audience and bring energy to the show, MacFarlane is the ideal host to cater to an audience demanding both an edgy and classy performance.

Slaughtering zombies for the third season In this type of apocalypse, a Georgia state penitentiary is your best bet for a safe home TIM WORDEN Daily Titan

The Walking Dead, which captured the love of audiences with its stark portrayal of a zombie apocalypse, has returned to AMC for its third season with a bang—a bang, and a metallic clink! from a shovel jab. The show follows former sheriff’s deputy Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln), who woke up from a coma to find the world overrun by a zombie apocalypse. In the first two seasons, he is reunited with his family and joins a survivor group on the outskirts of Atlanta that searches for a safe place and finds an idyllic farm owned by the religious Hershel. Season three picks up a few months after season two, with the group surviving winter but still looking for permanent shelter while Rick’s wife Lori (played by Sarah Wayne Callies) is very pregnant. They find a Georgia state penitentiary in the middle of the woods and realize they could make the prison their home. There are three rows of fences and guard towers, so they clear the outside part of the prison their first night. “Look I know you’re all exhausted, this was a great win. But we got to push just a little bit more,” Rick tells the group that night. They can get to a “goldmine” of supplies inside the prison, he adds. The Walking Dead, a two-time prosthetic makeup Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-nominated best drama, has received the cult acclaim its source material has. It is an adaptation from the spartan black-and-white independent graphic novel by Robert Kirkman. The action sequences in the premiere were great, especially when they battled walkers (the group’s name for zombies) in riot gear. Fans can cheer at the episode’s body count, a triumphant 65, according to Jack FM.

A two-time prosthetic makeup Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-nominated best drama The Walking Dead, airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.

Rick showed his strategic leadership when he ran into the middle of the prison to shut a fence so the group could focus on one enclosed area to clear without worrying about more zombies wandering in. But parts of the episode were too slow. This included a campfire scene where a few of the characters started singing, which was not only out of pace with the show, but off-pitch. Also, a few of the characters are still not fleshed out enough, including Lori, still as one-dimensional as ever. The best character pair is the young

couple Glenn Rhee (played by Steven Yeun) and Maggie Greene (played by Lauren Cohan). Their love, passionate in the midst of the end of the world, has a light the other survivors lack. A few new characters will be introduced this season. Michonne (played by Danai Gurira), an African-American woman wielding a katana sword, will join the survivors. This season’s main protagonist will be The Governor (played by David Morrissey). He is the leader of a town called Woodbury, which is located near the prison. A neurotic dictator with shaggy hair in the graphic novel, he has

been refitted as a clean-shaven southern gentleman in the show. The AMC series has many parallels to Lost, the gold standard of dramas. The Governor appears to be a character comparable to Ben Linus, a sympathetic and cunning villain, leading The Walking Dead’s version of “the Others.” While season two was slow and uneventful, this season promises an intense rivalry between The Governor at Woodbury and Rick at the prison. This will propel the season to a culminating battle between the colonies. While duking out zombies is great, TV

dramas thrive on the human touch, and if this season delivers the pathway set out in the graphic novel, viewers will get a deep look into what separates us from the zombies. But for all the show’s strengths, the graphic novel still has it trumped. The show is a tame “kid’s version” compared to the experimental, explicit comic that counts no character as too important to randomly die in the most gruesome of circumstances, while still spitting out a few f-bombs before joining the undead. The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.

MUSIC: Jazzing it up at Meng FULLERTON JAZZ ORCHESTRA AND BIG BAND

DEANNA TROMBLEY For the Daily Titan

The Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and Big Band took the stage at Meng Concert Hall on Friday, delivering a memorable and nostalgic performance. Bill Cunliffe, a jazz pianist, composer and Grammy Awardwinning arranger, was the director for both the jazz orchestra and the jazz big band. Audience members were given the special treat of having the guest appearance of the legendary and celebrated jazz baritone saxophone player, Gary Smulyan. Smulyan is highly praised for his striking rhythmic style and his artistic approaches to harmony. Smulyan has played with other renowned jazz artists such as Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Jimmy Knepper and Ray Nance. The highlight of the evening was also one of the most important elements in the spirit of jazz: the improvisation and the seamless weaving among the musicians on stage. Each student within both bands had his or her chance to shine in the array of pieces performed. Friday night’s performance was a tribute to jazz legend Oliver Nelson and rock and roll icon Jimi Hendrix. This unlikely combination of focus brought high contrast to the show. The first piece that was performed by the Fullerton Jazz Big Band was Nelson’s “Hoedown.” The “shout” section of the piece sent chills to listeners’ spines, sending them back to the busy streets of Los Angeles in the 1930s. The following piece was attributed to be a hats-off to Count Basie. “That Warm Feeling” was performed with all amplifications turned off, apart from the low vol-

ume of electric guitar and electric bass. This way, audience members were given a chance to hear the music much like how it was played when it was first composed. Listeners were once more whisked away to a simple and romanticized time period. Jazz has various hues and shades in its own color spectrum of music. “Em Uma Semana” brought a cool bossa nova feel to the atmosphere, causing many listeners to move their shoulders to the beat. The personal element of jazz was kept alive with each song on the program featuring solos from many of the talented band members, each standing out as individuals in the collective. Smulyan was brought out for Benny Carter’s “Vine Street Rumble,” where he seamed himself in perfectly as an individual soloist as well as a member of a larger unit of one. Another memorable piece that was performed was “Louisiana Bebop,” because of the Cajun jazz style in percussion and melody. Audience members didn’t have to ask for more cowbell, since the performers delivered with energetic personality. The Fullerton Jazz Orchestra then took the stage and began with the Latin jazz groove of “Mueva Los Huesos” (Shake Your Bones). Audience members were unable to resist moving to the beat and the hot melody. Listeners were given another treat with a premiere performance of “Honeysuckle Rose” arranged by tenor saxophonist, Jordan Ferrin. Guest vocalist with a honeylike sound, Reina Rodriguez, performed alongside with the band. Rodriguez showcased her moving talent in scatting, a traditional form of jazz singing. The volume and the beat of the music was kicked up several notches as Cunliffe introduced the next piece as, “probably the loudest thing played in Meng Hall ever.” Cunliffe arranged the piece titled “Jimi,” painting the picture of the guitar legend’s spirit while

adding a jazzy kick to it. Their music began with chaotic sounds and music that mimicked the way Hendrix and many rock legends from that time would play. Order was brought back as the band played the melody together with ambient and mysterious guitar harmonies played over it. The guitar then transitioned to the oh-so-familiar funk that Hendrix had in his golden years, making the audience members once again physically react with tapping toes and smiling faces. There was also a point in selection where the introduction to Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady” could be easily recognized as well as the memorable National Anthem guitar solo followed by an improvisation. Although this piece stood out the most in contrast to all the other selections, listeners still received it with great fascination and adoration. To cleanse the palate as Cunliffe referred to as going from the “ridiculous to the sublime,” the Hendrix tribute was followed by a hauntingly beautiful duet of jazz standard: “Willow Weep for Me,” performed by Cunliffe and Smulyan. The final piece of the evening was the cherry on top. The Jazz Big Band rejoined the Jazz Orchestra band on stage to perform a jam of “Cool Eyes” by Horace Silver. Every band member of each group on stage was given a few bars to perform a solo to showcase their musical personality. Each individual shined as he or she took turns, making audience members feel as if they were witnessing a jam session in a small jazz club in the days of prohibition. The performers did a superior job in performing both as unique jazz players and as a seamless unit that creates a sensational, swinging band.

On Breast Cancer Awarness night, Titans fall 6-3 to the conference rival 49ers for the second time this season GABY MARTINEZ Daily Titan

Women’s soccer falls short to UC Santa Barbara at home, 4-2 Cal State Fullerton loses for third straight time at Titan Stadium to UCSB ANDY WALLER for the Daily Titan

While they may have entered with a 1-4-1 record in conference play, the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos didn’t play like a team with a losing record. The Gauchos scored two goals early in the first half en route to a 4-2 win over the Titans. With the loss, the Titans finds themselves at 4-2, still sitting in fourth place in the Big West. It was the third straight game that Cal State Fullerton has lost to UCSB at home dating back to 2007. The offense showed up from the get-go as CSUF outshot the Gauchos 18 to 9. The Gauchos offense only had three shots in the first half, but scored on all of them. UCSB scored the game’s opening goal when the Titan defense failed to clear the ball out of the defensive end. Indiana Mead blocked CSUF’s clearing attempt and blasted it into the back of the net to give UC Santa Barbara the 1-0 lead not even 15 minutes into the first half. Mead’s goal snapped the shutout streak of goalie Lindsey Maricic, which had lasted 375 minutes and 12 seconds. Angelisa Cortez added another tally for the Gauchos a little over one minute later to give them the 2-0 lead. Christina Burkenroad got the Titans on board before halftime to cut the lead in half, but UCSB responded by adding another score

right before the intermission. The goal was credited to Erin Ortega, which proved to be the eventual game winner. CSUF came out early in the second half firing several shots, but the Gaucho defense hung tough and only gave up one second-half goal en route to a 4-2 victory at Titan Stadium. For CSUF, the defense that had been so stout looked fallible for the first time in the past six games. The four goals was the most CSUF had allowed all season, and just the third time all year in which the defense has given up more than two goals in a game. “I’m happy with how our offense finally played, but we need to work on a few things defensively. They (UC Santa Barbara) are a good team. We didn’t execute the plays we needed to make and they got a few good shots that happened to go in,” said Head Coach Demian Brown. With playoff seeding at stake, CSUF will focus on finishing somewhere in the top four spots, a task no longer as easily attainable due to the loss to UCSB, to earn an opportunity to play in the Big West Conference tournament. With conference play set to finish next weekend, the Titans could earn themselves their first trip to the Big West tournament since 2007, when they finished in first place during the regular season and won the tournament. Semi-finals will be played on Nov. 1, while the finals will take place on Nov. 3 at UCI. For more information on this game and the remaining schedule for the Titans visit FullertonTitans.com.

Women’s soccer rout Mustangs in shutout The Titans add to their Big West Conference and home record by defeating Cal Poly RODRIGO RUIZ For the Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton’s women’s soccer team defeated the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Mustangs 4-0 on Sunday, improving their record to 8-8. Forwards Stacey Fox and Ann Marie Tangorra each tallied two goals to give the Titan seniors a final bon voyage on their home field. “I was really excited after the first, the second goal was bittersweet,” said a beaming Fox. “It’s senior day and it felt good to leave everything I had on the field, score a couple goals and have the good memories at my last game at Titan Stadium.” In the first 25 minutes, the two teams approached the game differently. The Titans utilized long range passing from the defense in order to utilize the height of freshman forward Christina Burkenroad. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo built their attack with a combination of passes through the midfield. The Titans would strike after the first 35 minutes. Stacey Fox opened the Titan scoring

with a cool header off a Lauren Mellano corner kick. CSUF would continue to impose themselves throughout the match. The action escalated after the intermission. In the second half, sophomore forward Rebecca Wilson had a handful of opportunities along the flanks. Right from the get-go, Wilson beat her marker on the right flank and chipped her shot off the crossbar. Burkenroad attempted to head the rebound but was shoved, causing referee Jeffrey Zeuner to award a penalty. Fox scored her second goal of the night and seventh of the season for the Titans from the penalty spot with a smooth finish to the right. CSUF’s goal scoring exploits continued. Tangorra scored the Titan’s third goal after a series of headers inside the box. The fourth and final goal resulted from a Brianna Chapman pass off a Titan counterattack. In a one-on-one showdown against the Cal Poly SLO goalkeeper, Tangorra scored with ease and the Titans rounded up the Mustangs by a final of four-nil. The Titans outshot the Mustangs 24-9, yet Cal Poly SLO produced a number of grade-A scoring chances that the Titans nullified.

ROBERT HUSKEY / Daily Titan

Redshirt forward senior Stacy Fox celebrates with her teammates after scoring the first goal of the game in the 35th minute. Fox also scored again in the 47th minute of the game, bringing her season total to seven goals scored.

“It helps that we got that closer to full strength, having Chelsey Patterson and the rest of our midfielders took some pressure off of our backline,” assistant coach Diego Bocanegra said. With Sunday afternoon’s win, the Titans amassed 15 points and move into

4th place in the Big West Conference standings. Winners of five of their last six, the Lady Titans are heating up at just the right time. “Cal Poly is a very good team, they represent the conference very well,” said Head Coach Demian Brown. “However,

on the day, our women were very motivated with it being senior day, and we played in a fashion that we know is capable.” Two games remain on the schedule for the Titans. On Oct. 26, they visit UC Davis and end their regular season Oct. 28 against Pacific.

HOCKEY: Titans win in dramatic comeback against Lions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

With his team’s morale low, Houlihan, who coaches the defense on the Titans, knew the team had to make something happen. “We kind of had to start taking a couple of chances, we were down by two. We shortened the bench, went to two lines and it worked out for us,” Houlihan said. It was 6-foot-3-inch defenseman Payne Sauer who led the way. “I got the puck out in the neutral zone, so I went in

and took a shot and it happened to go in. That boosted us,” Sauer said. “He’s a big dude, so he’s got the long stride. He’s also got the long reach, so he could protect the puck easily. Once he gets going, it’s hard to stop him,” Houlihan said of the defenseman. Forward Alec Censullo tied the game up for the Titans less than a minute later when he cradled a shot from the point that was originally meant to go on net. The interception by Censullo tricked the Lions goaltender, allowing him to sidestep the sprawling goalten-

der and tap the puck in the net. Zach Henderson and Brummett were awarded the assists. “There was a lot of blame game going on, but a few guys stepped up and calmed everyone down,” Censullo said of the moment. Sauer’s heroics continued when he picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone and skated into the Lions’ zone. His first goal may have just slipped through the pads of the goalie, but his second was a laser of a shot that found the top right corner of the net.

Sean Saligumba tacked on an insurance goal after the Lions pulled their goalie for an extra man. The loss was the first loss of the season for LMU. Meanwhile, CSUF completed a successful homestand that saw them go 3-3. The team will be on the road for the next few weeks. The Titans will play in the Mid-State Electric Best of the West Showcase hosted by San Jose State in San Jose. Their first game is Thursday versus the University of North Texas.
