Missing OC hikers on road to recovery

Two Costa Mesa residents disappeared on Easter after hiking in Trabuco Canyon TIM WORDEN Daily Titan

had formal instruction before his arrival.

“There are so many guys on this team that have talents they don’t even understand that they have, and they don’t even know, because they’ve never been coached,” Svoboda said.

The Titans embarked on a 16game season as part of the Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League (WCRHL), competing against teams from USC, University of Arizona and CSU Northridge, among others. CSUF won its first 14 before settling for a tie against UC Irvine.

“We were kind of shocked we won all four or five games we started off with, and from there we never looked back,” Gonzalez said.

A Cal State Fullerton freshman who got lost during a spontaneous Easter hike is still recovering at UCI Medical Center following her rescue on Thursday after four nights in the wilderness.

Costa Mesa residents Kyndall Jack, 18, and Nicholas Cendoya, 19, went on an afternoon hike to Trabuco Canyon, near Mission Viejo, on March 31.

They called police around 8:30 p.m. saying they were lost, but their phone died before police could locate the pair’s signal, according to authorities.

Cendoya has recovered well, his doctor announced in a press conference on Sunday.

A massive search, headed by the Orange County Sherriff’s Department and volunteers from search and rescue units and the lost hikers’ families, unsuccessfully swept through Trabuco Canyon for three days until Cendoya was found on Wednesday night.

Cendoya was airlifted to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, and Jack was found near a cliff the next day and was airlifted to UCI Medical Center.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, Jack’s mother, Dawn Jack, said Kyndall Jack is doing OK. “She for the most part has cuts and scrapes. Nothing serious that they have found,” Jack said in the post, which has more than 200 likes.

In a statement on the university’s Facebook page, CSUF President Mildred García said she is pleased that Jack and Cendoya have been found.

“I join the entire Titan family in wishing her a speedy and complete recovery. We offer sincere thanks to the many search and rescue team members involved in returning them to safety,” García said.

Titans roller hockey goalie Alex Miller stops a wrist shot in a scrimmage against Saddleback College at The Rinks Irvine Inline facility. CSUF went undefeated in its first season of existence.

Roller Hockey to compete for national title CHRIS KONTE Daily Titan

In its first season ever, the Cal State Fullerton roller hockey team has gone undefeated and will compete for a national championship in Fort Myers, Fla. But that’s hardly the story.

After transferring last spring to CSUF from West Valley Junior College in Saratoga, Calif., Jeff Brown just wanted to play. But his new school didn’t have a team, and having just moved into the dorms, he didn’t know any skaters either.

Brown started by posting fliers at the Rinks Irvine Inline to see if he could draw any interest in putting a group together. Tristan Gonzalez, a CSUF senior and rink employee,

was one of the men who responded.

“Me and a couple of the guys here tried to start it four years ago, so we were really interested,” said Gonzalez, who is an alternate captain.

Brown took aboard the first dozen players to contact him and proceeded with his next step—getting the team approved by the school. CSUFrecognized teams must be a part of the SCICC (Sports Club Inter-Club Council), which is the governing body for all sports clubs. It includes weekly Friday meetings, which last three-and-a-half hours, and ask for event donations, fundraising help and mandatory philanthropy events.

“It takes a ton of work trying to successfully run and manage a team, and fulfill all the requests the SCICC asks,” said Brown. “I don’t mind doing it, as my main goal is to build a

program that is built to last here at CSUF.” Once permission was granted, Brown completed his roster.

“We didn’t get a goalie until the last minute,” said Gonzalez. “We picked up one of the backups from the ice team. We had Tyler (Svoboda), our coach, come in late, so we didn’t have a coach. We were just kinda skating around, having some fun.”

The team recruited Alex Miller, who played for the ice hockey team, as its goalie.

“Tyler Hainey, who plays on the ice team with me and also plays on this team, was begging me to come out,” said Miller, 23, who is majoring in public administration management. “I played varsity roller hockey in high school—and it was fun, I just

never really stuck with it. I was more of an ice guy. (Hainey) said, ‘if you don’t come out we’re not going to have a team.’ … Seeing as it’s my last year, I figured, well, why not give a run at it? And now we’re playing for a national title.”

With Brown as the Titan captain, a full roster and school approval, all that remained was to find a coach who didn’t mind working for free.

Tyler Svoboda would be the man for the job—his last name translates to “free” in Czech.

“That guy jumped through hoops like I’ve never seen a college kid do in my life,” said Svoboda. “I’m so impressed. When I saw a guy was that committed, I was like, ‘screw it, we’ll do this.’”

Svoboda’s effect was quickly visible; many of his players had never

CSUF to open center for autism research

Queer conference shows struggles in community The event included several speakers, workshops and a “strut-off” during a break JENNIFER NGUYEN Daily Titan

KRISTEN CERVANTES Daily Titan

As a way to celebrate Autism Awareness Month, Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Autism will open at the end of April to assist families with autistic children and train students who are interested in conducting research in autism.

Jason Baker, Ph.D., co-director of the center and CSUF assistant professor of Child and Adolescent Studies, said the center came about after he and two other co-directors, Erica Howell, Ph.D., and Rachel Fenning, Ph.D., worked together to find people on campus who were interested in autism.

The center is interested in research on developmental issues in young children, evaluations, coordinating services for families and early screening and identification in children with autism, according to Baker. “(It’s) about making Cal State Fullerton an autism friendly campus and helping the students here who have autism, of which we have many,” said Baker.

BRANDON MITCHELL / For the Daily Titan

Erica Howell, Ph.D., Rachel Fenning, Ph.D., and Jason Baker, Ph.D., are co-directors of the Center for Autism.

The co-directors brought their own concepts and knowledge to the Center for Autism and broke it down into two main cores: Applied Developmental Core and the Education Core.

According to Howell, the two cores train students and perform studies by receiving funds from individual grants and therefore operate independently.

Baker works in the Applied Developmental Core which focus on social and emotional development of children with autism.

The Applied Developmental Core is using psychophysiological equipment to perform tests.

This equipment includes sensors that measure electrodermal activity, which are placed on children involved in the research.

Baker said the Applied Developmental Core’s largest project is on identifying what might set children with autism off and find out how the children respond to different kinds of stresses.

The tests will also determine how autistic children regulate their stress and what parents are do to help their children, he said.

The Applied Developmental Core’s next research project will focus on social cognition, specifically how children with autism think about social exchanges.

Future plans include completing certain clinical activities through CSUF, Baker said.

A portion of the autism center will be devoted to assisting families with autistic children.

“When you have a child with

autism, it impacts every area of their life,” Baker said.

Parents and children become involved with the center’s research through community postings and early intervention agencies, added Baker.

“In addition to the research and the community outreach, we do direct clinical service to families,” Baker said.

The Applied Developmental Core has case management services for families in need of assistance with their children.

Baker is working with a team of about 10 undergraduate CSUF students who are either interns or research assistants, and he works with a graduate assistant from social work.

The 8th annual Queer People of Color Conference (QPOCC) was held on Saturday to educate the public on the adversities queer people of color struggle against, such as homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism and imperialism.

The conference, held at the Titan Student Union, aimed to help people understand how to alleviate such issues through activism and self-care.

The day began with keynote speaker Raja Bhattar, a community organizer and author. Bhattar is the director of the LGBT Campus Resource Center at UCLA. He is involved in more than two dozen social justice organizations throughout Los Angeles County, including AIDS Project Los Angeles, Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team, Gender Justice LA and Youth Justice Coalition.

Bhattar discussed his career as the director of the UCLA LGBT Center.

According to Bhattar, out of approximately 400 LGBT centers in college institutions across the

country, only 5 percent are led by non-white people.

Bhattar became the first person of color in 18 years to be the director of UCLA’s LGBT Center.

To him, taking this job was his form of activism.

“It was a way of building community, it was really important,” said Bhattar. “It was a way for me to honor my intersections.”

Bhattar also discussed how struggles are not always a bad thing for him.

“I think about one of my friends who’s Muslim, who talks about this idea of ‘Jihad,’ and Jihad has been so bastardized in our culture. It’s seen as this ‘terrorist’ term,” said Bhattar. “And if we actually look at the word ‘Jihad,’ it’s a beautiful word. It means to struggle for self well-being and for self-awareness.”

Bhattar also discussed the concept of community and how people could still be at odds with one another yet be able to get along peacefully.

“A good community is one that sees all of us in our brokenness ... in all the struggles that we bring, in all the beauty that we bring, and still loves us for all we could bring to the community,” he said.

HIKERS: Student remains hospitalized ABC-7 Eyewitness News reports that Jack remains hospitalized at UCI Medical Center and does not have a leaving date set as of Sunday afternoon.

Cendoya has recovered well from dehydration, a concussion and trauma he had received, said Stephen DeSantis, his doctor at Mission Hospital, at a press conference on Sunday.

“He has all the evidence of having suffered a significant blunt force trauma, probably from a fall, which can explain his amnesia for the event,” said DeSantis.

Cendoya, who was released from the hospital on Sunday, said in the press conference that the last thing he remembers from the hike is using flashlights and climbing down a hill

after their phone died in the middle of a 911 call. He said he may have fallen on the way down the steep hill and lost consciousness.

“It was our first time hanging out and we just decided to go on an Easter adventure,” said Cendoya, who lists on his Facebook page that he attends Orange Coast College.

He added that the pair did not bring any food on the hike, he has never hiked before and he did not tell his parents where he was going that day. They only had half a water bottle left by the time they reached the top of the mountain, which they spontaneously decided to hike up instead of taking the Holy Jim Canyon Trail, he said.

“We honestly didn’t think it through,” Cendoya said.

“We were just planning on having a nice Easter, getting to know each

other and just going up the trails,” he said.

On Sunday, Cendoya said he had not seen Jack since being rescued, although he said she sent him a Facebook post thanking him for keeping her calm when they realized they were lost.

Cendoya said he talked to the Orange County Sheriff’s deputy who fell 60 feet from a helicopter searching for Jack, who Cendoya said is in critical condition.

Police scanners indicated on Thursday afternoon that the deputy had sustained head trauma in the fall, which happened around the time that the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department was rescuing Jack.

“That’s someone who really signs up for the job and knows the risk, and he’s a true hero to me,” Cendoya said.

AUTISM: Professor trains students CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The social work intern, who is supervised by the social work faculty, helps families in navigating sources, such as where to go and how to receive funding, Baker said.

He trains the students in research, and how to understand autism and help families.

“We’re overwhelmed by how many students are interested in autism,” Baker said. “We’ve actually had to turn people away because we have too many students for what we’re doing right now.”

Baker said he hopes they can accept more students as the center grows.

Mariann Howland, 22, is a senior majoring in psychology at CSUF and a student research associate and lab coordinator for the Applied Developmental Core. Howland said she collects data from families for the Core’s current research on the autism emotion study.

She is active in the community outreach for the Center for Autism by attending autism-related events to spread the word about the center and its studies.

Howland said the intricacies of each family is important to the core’s research and is excited to use the information they gather to help families.

“It’s just such a great experience to be able to communicate and contact with (the families) one-on-one and

After weeks of North Korea threatening a strike, a top U.S. military officer said Sunday that the Pentagon is preparing to launch an attack at any moment if necessary, according to USA Today.

The threats by North Korea towards South Korea and the U.S. also halted congressional testimony by the chief U.S. commander in South Korea and postponed a West Coast base missile test.

The decision to hold off on testing the missile was made by U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Hagel was concerned the launch would be misconstrued by North Korea and escalate the situation.

The U.S. is getting ready for further action due to two anniversaries in April that are important to North Koreans—the establishment of the country’s army and the birth of its founder Kim II Sung, according to U.S. Gen. Martin Dempsey.

Dempsey said he does not believe North Korea will actually attack anytime soon, but he can not take the chance.

Last week, North Korea’s military said it was given permission to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons.

hoping that we’re helping them to access resources,” she said.

The Center for Autism’s second core is working on an investigation about the outcomes of the Autism Spectrum Disorders-added Authorization program, said Howell, a co-director for the Education Core and CSUF assistant professor of special education.

Howell said teachers who have certain types of credentials have to return to school to receive further certification to teach students with autism. The research looks into the outcomes of the certifications.

The Education Core recently finished two studies that were related to individuals with autism.

One study examined the adult outcomes for individuals with highfunctioning autism and Asperger syndrome, while the other looked at the involvement of individuals with autism in a faith-based setting and their involvement in a community, according to Howell.

Howell performs training for teachers and students who are interested in autism. “(It’s) exciting and it’s fun to have students involved with the process of analyzing the data and helping,” she said.

Howell added that student associates complete assignments related to the development of the center, work on the Peer Assisted College Support (PACS) program and maintain the

social media aspect of the center.

“The (students) we’re most interested in are those who are interested in becoming teachers,” she said.

“That’s our number one priority.”

Howell also works closely on campus with Autism Speaks U, a CSUF student-based chapter.

“Autism Speaks U provides awareness and advocacy as well as raising funds for Autism Speaks,” said Ray Sadri, co-president of CSUF Autism Speaks U. Sadri, 24, a senior majoring in communicative disorders, said Autism Speak U is going to work with the new autism center to raise awareness for students impacted by autism.

“The center for autism at CSUF has resources for the students on our campus living with the diagnosis of autism, such as the PACS program,” he said.

Several members from Autism Speaks U are student associates working for the Education Core, according to Sadri.

Although the autism center is officially launching at the end of April, it will have a main opening event in early May for a campus introduction and to review all of the events that occurred during Autism Awareness Month, Baker said.

“We want to be a home for the families, Orange County and beyond ... this is a place you can come,” he said.

The Anaheim Police Department recently revealed a steep decline in solving crime over the past decade, according to the Orange County Register.

Compared to other California law enforcement agencies, the department was once considered outstanding in solving crime.

From 1998 to 2002, the Anaheim police solved about 73 percent of violent crimes.

Since then, the number has sunk to 43 percent.

Reasons for the decline are not exactly clear, but APD suggests that recent staff and budget cuts, an increase in gang violence and incorrect statistics may factor into the drop.

Mayor Tom Tait and Anaheim Police Chief John Welter said the numbers may be inflated and that the department’s largest decrease in crime-solving was from 2005 to 2007.

According to an analysis of crime data by the Register, felony assaults and unresolved rape cases are the main causes of the dramatic decrease in crime solving.

Other Orange County law enforcement agencies and major police departments in California have not seen declines as severe as Anaheim’s.

Hackers target Israeli websites Israeli websites were the target of a prevalent hacker attack which caused some disruption to government, academic and private sites on Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The attack was affiliated with the group Anonymous, previously described by its organizers as an act of solidarity with Palestinians in retaliation for Israel’s treatment of them, as well as for Israeli settlement activity and what is perceived as disrespect for international law.

Several government websites were disabled overnight, defaced with anti-Israeli messages and loud music.

The government and other sites were restored within a few hours, officials said.

Hackers failed to take out any truly important or protected sites, according to Yitzhak BenYisrael, head of the country’s National Cyber Bureau.

The extension will have the tower operations stay nominal until June 15 while dealing with lawsuits regarding the closures.

While some airports would have minimal risk involved with the loss of their air towers, the seven Southern California air towers are variable hot stops for complicated flight patterns due to business and vacation.

The shutdown of these air traffic controll towers is still imminent however, yet the closure is only meant for government contracts.

The individual airports could still decide to staff and fund the air tower operations by themselves.

QUEER: Workshops held to disucss social justice CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Following Bhattar’s speech were various workshops that revolved around the topics of intersectionality, activism and community.

Lucas Villa, 23, a UC Santa Barbara alumni, attended the QPOCC at San Diego State University three years ago, where he said he learned a lot about himself. He found the workshops helpful and empowering, and was hopeful for the same at Saturday’s conference.

“I feel like there’s always something to learn, like things are always changing, so I’m hoping to dialogue a lot here with people, and hopefully get a more updated perspective on everything,” Villa said.

A few of the workshops focused on LGBT misrepresentations in the media, sexual health, engaging in social justice while still being able to take care of one’s self, and addressing assimilation and liberation.

Jason Jackson, the assistant director of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Ally Programs Office at the University of Minnesota, presented “Who’s Got the Power? Interracial Dating for GLBT People of Color.”

The workshop focused on how one could deal with various issues that may come up in conversations in interracial relationships, such as covert racism, and how one can work through it.

“Inevitably, what we are all looking for is love and connection with someone. We don’t want to care about race or however race does play a factor. And so how do

we do self-care and all that fun stuff,” said Jackson.

Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), a group of parents who support their children’s homosexuality, were in attendance as well.

PFLAG is aimed at promoting health and well-being of LGBT persons and their loved ones and ending of discrimination, according to the PFLAG website.

The San Gabriel Valley AsianPacific Islander PFLAG Chapter held a workshop at the QPOCC, titled “Honoring Our Children: From Asian Invisibility to InterGenerational Invincibility.”

The workshop involved several Asian-American parents who shared stories about their journey of accepting their children’s homosexuality, including the challenges and hardships they faced as a family.

Carol Mannion, a member of PFLAG whose son came out about a year-and-a-half ago, said she faced the struggle of having to inform her younger brothers and elderly mother of his news of coming out.

“I knew that in order for me to also continue this new chapter in my life, I needed to be completely honest with everybody because I’m not ashamed of my son.

There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” said Mannion.

Green Piece ALEX GROVES

Problems associated with pipeline are extra large I recently got into a conversation with an old friend of mine from Pennsylvania who tried to make the argument to me that the Keystone XL pipeline would positively impact the economy here in the United States.

“It will create jobs,” he said. “And in this modern day and age, where the economy is stagnating and people are struggling to get by, it would be unAmerican to hold on to the assertion that (the pipeline) is bad.”

God forbid I would be unAmerican.

I’ve never really understood why almost everyone I’ve ever known has viewed environmentalists as nambypamby tree huggers, or even worse, job killers. The simple fact of the matter is that like everyone else, I want the economy to thrive. The United States of America deserves to be a place where opportunity abounds and people can make a good life for themselves and their families.

I’m not against job creation if the jobs being made are smart and sustainable. But please understand that when we’re talking about the Keystone XL pipeline, those are two words that do not apply.

There is nothing smart about a giant pipeline with the capacity to pump hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil through the American heartland. Even one rupture anywhere, and we could see an ecological disaster.

And don’t think for a second that possibility doesn’t exist. Last time I checked, the U.S. and Canada don’t really have the greatest track record when it comes to maintaining oil lines. In the U.S., we’ve had multiple major spills in the last three years and thousands of so-called “incidents” within the last decade. In west-central Alberta, there was a spill of 475,000 liters of crude oil near the Red Deer River this past June.

But the pipeline is deplorable for many more reasons than potential spills.

What we’d be pumping from Canada to the gulf is some of the dirtiest and thickest oil you can find. According to the National Resources Defense Council, tar oil sands production creates three times as much global warming pollution as conventional crude production. Oil is not a sustainable business model, either.

What do I mean by that?

We wouldn’t be digging deep below the boreal forests of Canada for dirty oil if more conventional forms of the stuff were available. And if we’re running out of conventional sources of oil, we’re going to run

out of oil sands eventually.

Now, my friend’s argument was that the pipeline will create jobs at a time when we really need them.

The pipeline is supposedly going to create 20,000 jobs, according to a study conducted by Transcanada.

13,000 of those jobs will be in construction and 7,000 will be in manufacturing, the study said.

Even assuming those figures are correct, construction jobs are not permanent jobs.

Even Transcanada has conceded that in reality, there would only be “hundreds” of permanent jobs following the construction of this gigantic pipe.

There might not even be that many temporary jobs according to a study conducted by the Cornell University Global Labor Institute. Claims that 20,000 jobs would created in the United States are unsubstantiated according to the study. It claims that in reality, there could be somewhere between 4,500 and 6,500 jobs.

That’s not even a blip on the economic radar.

The study goes as far as saying that Keystone XL may destroy as many jobs as it creates because of a combination of higher fuel prices in 15 states, environmental damage, greater air pollution and carbon emissions. I highly recommend reading the study because it elaborates on how all of these things will negatively impact jobs in the U.S. It doesn’t make sense to cling to the past when innovation is all around us. Rather than sticking to a business model that’s bound to eventually fail, why not invest in something sustainable? Solar power and various green and clean technologies are creating more jobs than a self-managing pipe would.

I’m not against job creation at all, I just think it’s important to recognize that while some business ventures sound good from sound bites, they may cause more harm than good.

I would be proud of President Obama if he were to reject the Keystone Pipeline and the environmental damage it could cause.

He had planned to work hard on protecting the environment—at least that’s what he had said in his State of the Union address.

Being American is more than just being pro-job creation. I think that Americans are bound to moral and ethical standards and a conviction to follow through with their promises.

Hopefully that’s what our president does.

Fooling police puts all in danger Officers shouldn’t have to question the motives behind emergency calls KRISTIN WISEMAN Daily Titan

As a child, prank-phone calling was a rite of passage. It was meant to impress friends of how “cool” you were, but it has now grown into something that can cost people their lives.

In March of last year, a Pasadena man called 911 and claimed to be robbed at gunpoint. This resulted in the robbery suspect, 19-yearold Kendrec McDade, being shot and killed by Pasadena police. Oscar Carrillo, the caller, could be facing a maximum of 18 months in prison for making a false report of a criminal offense and a second count of reporting a false emergency report.

The case resulted in a tragic shooting of an unarmed teenager; Pasadena police shot and killed him believing he was more dangerous than he was. It sounds ridiculous that an unarmed teenager posed a threat to anyone, especially to trained officers who had access to guns and back up.

And it was Carrillo’s actions which created this event; a person’s life lost based on false accusations.

Instead of killing McDade, police could have accosted or arrested him normally, but Carrillo created a situation for Pasadena police where they assumed they were in danger and that McDade posed a threat to society as well.

Courtesy of MCT Kendrec McDade, 19, was killed by police following a 911 call that alleged he had committed an armed robbery.

The police took action instead of assessing the situation, true. While it wasn’t fair to dupe the police into believing McDade was armed and dangerous, it wasn’t fair for McDade to be shot and killed instead of being searched and arrested. This case just goes to show that false 911 calls are immoral and can result in tragedy if the wrong things are reported to police.

It isn’t fair that the events occurred, but it also goes to show how certain people will say anything to the police to get them to react faster, even if it means putting themselves or others in harm’s way.

For instance, Marietta Wilhelm, a Florida resident, was charged with a misdemeanor after calling 911 falsely reporting her husband was trying to kill himself with a pocketknife. When the deputies arrived, she refused to open the door claiming she was drunk and would not go to jail.

It isn’t fair that the events occurred, but it also goes to show how certain people will say anything ... to get (police) to react faster, even if it means putting themselves or others in harm’s way.

The husband said they got into a fight, but that he had left afterwards.

State Sen. Ted Lieu announced a bill that would allow longer sentences for those convicted of making false reports to the police and greater restitution to those affected. This bill would be effective, but the key word is “convicted;” not everyone accused will be convicted, so it doesn’t provide an ideal solution in stopping the calls

from happening.

The charges that Carrillo is facing are completely fair, though.

The fact that this false accusation killed another person should be taken into account. Even if it is a first time offense, there should be justice especially if it can result in a loss of a life.

There are times when no matter what, situations can’t be changed after they are set in motion.

Mail’s taxing issue cannot be fixed with online regulation CHRIS KONTE Daily Titan

In case you haven’t heard, the United States Postal Service is in some real trouble these days, and the problem has little to do with letters.

Try instead these numbers—the Postal Service lost $15.9 billion during the last budget year, according to CBS San Francisco. It is also handcuffed by a 2006 law that requires $5.5 billion be set aside annually to fund the next 75 years of future employee pension benefits. In 2011, the government agency requested to lay off 120,000 employees and close a number of processing centers. It was also revealed in February that regular Saturday deliveries would have to wait until Monday.

“These ongoing liquidity issues unnecessarily undermine confidence in the viability of the Postal Service among our customers,” said Postal Service spokesman David Partenheimer last year.

In the search for a solution, it has been suggested by a Berkeley city councilman that an email-tax be implemented in order to rescue the Postal Service from certain doom.

Saving a dying government agency when there are viable replacements ... is not necessary.

Obviously, government officials have to do something—but tax emails? Why not tax Netflix streams to save Blockbuster while they’re at it?

If the Postal Service were to fall, public companies like FedEx and UPS would still exist to serve the needs of the nation. Sure, we may find a lot less in our spam folders if the sender CONTACT US AT: OPINION@DAILYTITAN.COM

Berkeley councilman Gordon Wozniak proposes taxation of email as a way to combat spam and fund the Postal Service.

is taxed, but developing countries that depend on free web access would face a major hardship. A click tax or a pay-as-you-go Internet subscription would force many people to go offline sooner than desired.

If taxation of email becomes an accepted practice, how long until we’re also chipping in every time we send a text or play our favorite online game?

You, me and the people of the world (wide web, that is) may soon have a bigger problem on our hands than just the financial state of our favorite government-run mail delivery agency.

The Internet Tax Freedom Act, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1998, prevents federal, state and local governments from taxing Internet access. Though unlikely, it can be allowed to expire on Nov. 1, 2014.

Basically, this could be the final year of the free-Internet age.

District 8 Supervisor Gordon Wozniak became the most recent politician to bring up the possibility of Internettaxation when he met with Berkeley city officials on March 5.

“There should be something like a bit tax,” said Wozniak. “I mean a bit tax could be a cent per-gigabit and they would still make, probably, billions of dollars a year.”

According to Berkeleyside, the blog that first reported Wozniak’s proposal, the idea of Internet taxation was investigated in 1999 by the United Nations to potentially fund a global communications infrastructure. Less than a year ago, it was reported that the UN was considering a new internet tax on web content providers such as Google and Facebook.

It’s a recurring debate that’s yet to be settled.

The Postal Service has not directly received taxpayer-dollars since the early 1980s, with the minor exception of subsidies for costs associated with the disabled and overseas voters, states the Washington Post. But now the government is considering an action that would be so devastating, so infamous—just to save the outdated maildelivery program? Seems like a pretty lame thing to end free Internet for.

George Skelton of the Los An-

geles Times estimates that 145 billion emails are sent worldwide on a daily basis. A tax on that could bring in literal tons of money. Since there are other shipping options besides the Postal Service in America’s capitalist market, why not send the money elsewhere, such as underfunded schools, public transportation improvement projects or cancer research centers?

A tax on email will surely create public outrage, stunt the growth of developing countries and add yet another burden on taxpayers—therefore it must be implemented only if absolutely necessary. Saving a dying government agency when there are viable replacements in the marketplace is not necessary.

“The open Internet has never been at a higher risk that it is now,” said Vinton Cerf, Google’s vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist, also recognized as one of the fathers of the Internet.

“A new international battle is brewing—a battle that will determine the future of the Internet.”

THE DAILY TITAN

Winter is coming in G.O.T. KRISTEN CERVANTES Daily Titan

Courtesy of MCT Although viewers are always rooting for their favorite heroes, it’s the villains who push the storyline and are remembered.

Villains who terrorize the tube DEANNA TROMBLEY Daily Titan

Sometimes the most memorable characters in television are the ones that make you cringe, the ones that make your blood boil, the ones that make your skin crawl.

There’s a special circle for the most villainous characters of our most beloved television series. These plaster vivid, morbidly dark colors to the canvas in which the story is being painted on.

Let’s face it—without villains, a story holds no drive, and the hero would have no passion.

Here are the top five most memorable television villains.

1. Joffrey Baratheon - Game of Thrones

There’s not a drop of Baratheon blood in this guy. In fact, there’s a bit too much Lannister in this young king. Joffrey takes the reign as king of the villains because of his unbearable streak of sadistic personality.

It’s no surprise when the beans are spilled that he is in fact born of incest from his mother, Cersei Lannister and her pretty-boy brother, Jamie.

Joffrey impressively ups the ante with heartless acts in Game of Thrones.

Unsurprisingly, he disappointed many in last season’s finale by hiding behind his mother’s skirts during the bloody battle of Blackwater Bay.

2. Dr. Oliver Thredson - American Horror Story: Asylum

Step back Dr. Evil. Thredson has proved himself as the top dog in the category of evil doctors in psychological horror thriller, American Horror Story: Asylum. The sudden switch from nice-guy psychiatrist to

“Bloody Face” himself.

Thredson’s terrorizing began with his mommy issues when he hoped to identify a corpse as his mother during medical school. Since then, he had searched and searched for the warmth of a maternal touch from random women.

Anyone that displeased him was decapitated and skinned for the use of his horrifying “Bloody Face” mask.

3. The Governor - The Walking Dead

Just when you thought that the biggest problem during a zombie apocalypse was fighting zombies, humanity comes strolling along.

In the most simplistic sense, The Governor of Woodbury has gone through much of the same traumatic events as Rick Grimes.

However, the one difference is that The Governor was broken by said events, whereas Grimes persevered through his struggles.

The Governor is that guy Walking Dead fans wanted to like so badly, but every kind action was countered with five immoral ones. Hijacking struggling survivors for their weapons is just one of his sins.

The worst thing is the number of people who are convinced that the Governor is a good man. Season 4 of The Walking Dead will have plenty more clashes between the Governor and the Rick-tator.

4. The Master - Doctor Who

Although great power comes great responsibility, this may not be the case for The Master from Doctor Who. The Master is the same species as the beloved Doctor; however, he’s a renegade and therefore the arch nemesis of the looney time traveler.

In this villain’s defense, who wouldn’t go mad with a non-stop drumming sound in his mind, retroactively implanted for the benefit of fellow Time Lords? Most importantly, The Master is a classic, appearing on Doctor Who since as far back as the third Doctor.

Since the beginning, he has been out to defeat the Doctor and is happy to cause some collateral damage in the galaxies while he’s at it. Not a big fan of humans—at one point, he converted Earth into a slave camp at his disposal.

5. Jim Moriarty - Sherlock

There is none more clever than Sherlock Holmes, except perhaps his arch nemesis, Moriarty.

Being the mastermind of all three crimes within the first season of BBC’s Sherlock, Moriarty gives the incomparable detective hero a run for his money.

There’s a clear streak of sadistic madness within him when it’s revealed he killed someone during his childhood for simply laughing at him. Even after he exposed his identity to Sherlock, he managed time and time again to slip under the detective’s nose.

Still, although a villain, he is a beloved character of the series for the wit that matches Sherlocks’. The constant back-and-forth between the two is what brings fans coming back for more. Quite honestly, they complete each other, almost as much as John Watson and Sherlock do.

There are plenty of heroes to go around, but it’s the bad guys who are remembered, whether for their terrorizing acts, clever tricks or diabolical schemes. Really, the villains are the color to the heroes canvas.

After a long, cold winter, Game of Thrones season three has sprung into the realm of television audiences.

Fans have waited 10 months for the show’s continuation of mystical dragons and impressive fight sequences to the death.

The first episode of the season, titled “Valar Dohaeris,” begins as if the lengthy break never happened.

Night’s Watch

Samwell Tarly is reunited with the rest of the Night’s Watch after a swarm of White Walkers attack the group.

House Stark

Jon Stark, who previously thought he had control over his prisoner, Ygritte, finds himself entering the wildling territory north of the wall.

Jon knows the only way to survive is by pretending that he wants to join the wildlings. He must convince Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, that he wants to be a part of the group if wants to live.

His fate is left in Mance’s hands.

Meanwhile, Robb Stark rides into Harrenhall with his army and new wife, Talisa, still on a mission to King’s Landing.

Catelyn Stark remains a prisoner after freeing Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer.

Sansa Stark makes a brief appearance as she and Lord Baelish, also known as Littlefinger, discuss Sansa’s mother and younger sister, Arya.

Sansa desperately wants to be reunited with her family and leave King’s Landing. Lord Baelish leads Sansa to believe he can help her escape.

House Baratheon

The character everyone loves to

Courtesy of MCT The fight for the throne continues in season three between the various families.

hate, King Joffrey Baratheon, is back and attempts to downplay how serious the Battle of the Blackwater was for King’s Landing.

Joffrey’s newest love interest and fiancée, Lady Margaery, portrays herself as the perfect soon-to-be wife.

Margaery’s future husband seems to be enthralled with her already, even though his mother, Cersei, is not.

Concurrently, Davos Seaworth is rescued by a group of pirates after being defeated in the Blackwater battle.

He later finds himself in the presence of Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre, the Red Woman.

Davos tells Stannis that he wants to continue fighting.

Melisandre and Davos have a strong dislike towards each other.

House Lannister

Tyrion Lannister returns with a scar across his face after almost being killed in the Blackwater battle.

He starts the episode off with quite a few problems that need to be resolved.

Cersei seeks her brother Tyrion because she is curious about what he and her father will soon discuss.

She takes a jab at him by saying it was their father, not Tyrion that saved King’s Landing from the rebels during Blackwater.

Eventually, Tyrion is able to speak with his father, the Hand of the King, Tywin Lannister.

Another problem Tyrion deals with is that his sellsword, Bronn, wants double his pay since he has become accustomed to living the good life.

House Targaryen

The Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, is on a ship with her sidekick knight, Ser Jorah Mormont, headed to the city of Astapor.

Her dragons are getting bigger and remain safe after being kidnapped last season.

Daenerys wants to establish a substantial army to take back the Iron Throne and seeks slave soldiers from Astapor.

Soon after, Daenerys walks through the city with Jorah and finds herself in a troubling situation.

Ser Barristan Selmy, a wellknown fighter, makes a small appearance in the end.

Although not every character from the previous season is covered in the first episode of season three, their storylines will be shown in upcoming episodes.

New episodes of Games of Thrones season three will air Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO.

Denim: The versatile fabric of our lives KYMBERLIE ESTRADA Daily Titan

Denim: it’s more than just cotton fabric—it’s a staple in men’s and women’s wardrobes, a “go-to” basic and a fashion essential.

It is seen in herds on college campuses, styled in advertisements and scrutinized strutting down designer fashion lines. Denim is possibly the most versatile material.

Denim, meaning the fabric, and jeans, referring to the actual pants made out of denim, had its humble beginnings in Genoa, Italy. Jeans were made from a cotton-corduroy material called “jean.”

The French struggled to replicate the fabric, but ended up developing a twill fabric we know today as denim.

Jeans were originally worn by miners for its sturdiness and durability.

More than often, “denim” and “jeans” are used in the same context, as they both go hand in hand since it’s immigration to the United States in 18th Century, thanks to Levi Strauss & Co., the first company to manufacture blue jeans.

Today, the sturdy cotton material comes in a variety of washes, cuts and styles.

For men it’s all about the cut and fabric. U.S. men’s jeans denim sales have climbed and have now become a $5.61 billion industry, according to the NPD Group analysis.

Types of Fabric

Raw Denim: This is denim in its

purest form. The dark material is

left unwashed, untreated, unfaded and unprocessed.

Selvage Denim: The tightly-weaved durable material was first introduced

by Levi’s & Co. in 1927. Selvage jeans are known for their folded up hems which reveal the selvage seamed artistry behind the innerworkings of the pants.

Selvage jeans typically range from $300 to $1,000 depending on the brand. These jeans should only be washed a few times—if not zero— times per year to preserve the dark hue.

It’s stiffness allows men to customize the jean’s creases by breaking in the material after continuous wear.

Stretch Denim: This type of denim usually incorporates polyester and elastane into the cotton fabric.

Stretch denim is much more comfortable and easy to wear. It does not even need to be broken in, and is pre-washed and dried.

As for girls it’s all about the fit.

Depending on one’s body type and style, there’s always a certain cut that best flatters a woman.

Types of Styles

Skinny: You don’t have to be a

stick figure to pull this one off.

Whether your body is curvy or flat as a board, skinny jeans seem to go well on everyone.

Boyfriend: These baggy throwback skater-look jeans are cropped just above the ankle. They’re loose, and unlike skinny jeans, easy to maneuver in.

Flare: These jeans are fitted on the thighs and become wider starting from the knee to the ankle. Since its

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @DTDETOUR

disco days, this trend has come and gone. Today, a whole new league of earthy, urban queens have dared to revive this groovy trend.

Types of washes

Acid wash:

This chemical wash features sharp contrasts, going from light to dark. These jeans are then tumbled with pumice stones soaked in a solution of sodium hypochlorite or potassium permanganate to give a bleaching effect.

Stonewash: This mechanical process removes color and adds contrast using pumice stones as well. The outcome is unpredictable as the stones vary in size, amount, hardness, shape and porosity. The denim and stones are rotated in sync for a set amount of time. The longer the washing time, the lighter the color and contrast.

Whiskering: Although whiskering can be achieved on unwashed selvage and raw-aged denim through a long period of wear, this process can be sped up.

Sandpaper is used to abrade the surface where creases are desired. Whiskers, or ridges, occur more around the crotch and back of the knee area, creating a “honeycomb” effect.

Sandblasting: The denim fabric is shot with guns of sand to achieve a worn out, distressed appearance. This technique does not require water and is purely a mechanical process.

Sorority girls, garage bands, gym junkies and businessmen all have at least one common item in their closets. Odds are, you’re probably wearing them right now.

Softball shut down in game two, 1-0 Long Beach State shuts down the CSUF offense to split doubleheader SERGIO GOMEZ Daily Titan

After taking the first game of the doubleheader with getting four runs on 11 hits, the Titans were unable to push any runs across the plate as they fell 1-0 to the Long Beach State 49ers Saturday afternoon.

Despite out-hitting the 49ers 4-3, the Titans were unable to get a clutch hit and left five runners on base, while the 49ers were able to take advantage of their three hits to get the only run of the game to earn the victory.

“What a difference a week makes, last week getting beat down by Cal Poly we were down and out and this is the style of play we can play every day and I’m really proud of them,” said CSUF Head Coach Kelly Ford. “We out hit them and pitching and defense was great as we were also a threat on the base paths we just couldn’t get a run in this second game.”

Catcher Ariel Tsuchiyama hit a shot over the shortstop to lead off the game. After a sacrifice bunt to move Tsuchiyama to second base, designated player Desiree Ybarra hit a shot to center field, but as Tsuchiyama waited to make sure the ball fell in she was only able to advance to third base. Ybarra moved to second base on the throw home from center field. It seemed promising, but the Titans were unable to drive them in as third baseman Eliza Crawford struck out and shortstop Gabby Aragon hit a soft comebacker to pitcher Erin Jones-Wesley to end the inning.

“Their pitcher was just a little quicker in the second game and we didn’t make the proper adjustments,” Ybarra said.

Ybarra was two-for-three with a couple of singles while Tsuchiyama and left fielder Leesa Harris added hits of their own.

The Titans put runners on base again in the second inning when second baseman Carissa Turang got on base on a throwing error by the third baseman. After a strikeout for the first out, right fielder Tiffany Scheffler drew a walk to put runners on second and first.

Turang then got caught in be-

“Their pitcher was just a little bit quicker in the second game. ” DESIREE YBARRA Sophomore Pitcher tween second and third on a pickoff attempt from the catcher and was tagged out by the second baseman. Harris then hit a single past third which would have scored Turang, but the runner only advanced to second before Tsuchiyama grounded out to the shortstop.

The rest of the game was an outright pitcher’s duel. Three pitchers, Jones-Wesley and Cal State Fullerton’s freshman Jasmine Antunez and sophomore Ybarra, pitched four innings of scoreless ball before Long Beach got on the board.

With Ybarra came in to relieve Antunez in the bottom of the fourth inning, she walked leadoff batter left fielder Darian Tautalafua. She then went on to hit center fielder Karli Sandoval to put runners on second and first base with no outs. Next, first baseman Ashley Holmes hit a shot up the middle that scored Tautalafua from third base after a sacrifice bunt from right fielder Sarah Carrasco advanced the runners.

The lone run was all the 49ers needed as the Titans were unable to get anything going offensively, having used up all their offense in the first game. Facing Long Beach State’s No. 1 pitcher in junior JonesWesley (12-6) did not help the Titans’ offensive woes. She retired the final 13 batters of the game, allowing just four hits while striking out six on only one walk allowed.

“Their No. 1 pitcher threw in game two and we just couldn’t make any adjustments or put the ball in play enough,” Ford said.

After losing the rubber match of the series 7-4 on Sunday, the Titans look to rebound as they play host to San Diego State this Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

CSUF welcomes new basketball coaches Dedrique Taylor and Daron Park will now take the reigns of Titan basketball ANGEL MENDOZA Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton welcomed two new members to its athletics department Wednesday as Dedrique Taylor and Daron Park were formally introduced as the coaching future of the Titan basketball program.

Taylor, former Arizona State associate head men’s basketball coach and longtime college assistant, was appointed as the 11th men’s basketball head coach in CSUF history.

Park, former USC associate head women’s basketball coach, was introduced as the Titans’ next women’s basketball head coach.

Athletics Director Jim Donovan had nothing but praise when it came to speaking on Taylor, a Pomona, Calif. native.

“He had a phenomenal interview, full of energy. At the end of the interview, he left most of the selection committee with goosebumps because he said, in closing, ‘This is my destiny. I’m coming home. I’m going to lead this program and we’re going to go places.’ We are so very pleased to have someone of his character,” said Donovan.

He now replaces interim coach Andy Newman, who led the Titans to a 14-18 overall record and 6-12 in Big West Conference play this past season.

“My coaching journey has brought me to a place I call home, and I value that immensely,” said Taylor. “I look forward to posi-

tively impacting the lives of the young men that are currently in the program and the lives of future Titans as well. Together, we will represent Fullerton with pride.”

Named as one of the top 25 assistant coaches in the country by CollegeInsider.com in 2010, Taylor has spent the last seven seasons at Arizona State helping rebuild the Sun Devils basketball program. He led ASU to four 20-win seasons, including a trip to the second round of the 2009 NCAA tournament with a 25-10 overall record, the most wins for the program since 1974-1975. He was elevated to associate head coach in the spring of 2010.

Donovan was also beaming with excitement as he welcomed Park to the Titan family, the first male head coach in CSUF’s women’s basketball history.

“His experience at some of this country’s premier collegiate programs will be of tremendous benefit to our program going forward and will help build a winner here at Cal State Fullerton,” said Donovan.

He replaces former head coach Marcia Foster, who led CSUF to an 11-22 overall record, 5-13 in the Big West conference and a trip to the conference semifinals this past season.

Park earned his first associate coaching position in 2009, where he was associate head coach at Louisiana Tech for two seasons, helping to lead the Lady Techsters to two consecutive 20-win seasons and two straight NCAA Tournament appearances. He also led Louisiana Tech to the school’s first WAC Tournament Championship

since the 2005-2006 season.

Prior to coming to coach at USC in 2012, Park spent a year as UC Berkeley’s associate head coach, and under the mentoring of Lindsey Gottlieb, guided the Golden Bears to a 25-10 overall record and their first NCAA Tournament appearance since the 2008-2009 season.

“For the last nine years I’ve done this at the Division I level, at BCS schools, at mid-major schools. The bottom line and what I’ve been so

proud of is the fact that we’ve won everywhere,” said Park.

His enthusiasm was apparent as he spoke on this opportunity he is about to embark on.

“I eat, breathe and sleep basketball. It’s so great to align myself with so many others at Cal State Fullerton who share the same passion for their jobs, their sport and their university,” Park said. “This is an absolute perfect fit for me personally, professionally and for my family.”

Softball takes game one vs. Long Beach Titans pitching dominates in game one of doubleheader against Long Beach State SERGIO GOMEZ Daily Titan

The Titans softball team came out swinging as they outhit and outscored the Long Beach State 49ers 4-1 in game one of a doubleheader this past Saturday in Long Beach.

In the top of the second inning, the Titans (16-22) were able to score twice. After two quick strikeouts, right fielder Tiffany Sheffler started a two-out rally with a single up the middle.

After reaching second base on an error by the second baseman on an attempted stolen base, left fielder Leesa Harris hit a huge RBI double to left field to score Sheffler from second base. The Titans then capitalized on another error when Tsuchiyama hit a shot to the shortstop that was misplayed, which allowed Harris to come in for the 2-0 lead.

The top of the fifth inning began as the Titans put runners on the base paths yet again, and this time they were able to score.

Crawford led off the inning with a single to left field, followed by a single up the middle by shortstop Gabby Aragon.

After a sacrifice bunt by Carissa Turang to move the runners to second and third base, first baseman Melissa Sechrest hit a deep sacrifice fly to left field to score Crawford. Sheffler was then able to get a hit to deep left center field to score Aragon in from second for the 4-0 lead.

Crawford went 3-for-4 in the game while Sheffler went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored.

“I was just trying to be aggressive and kept trying to keep the inning going,” Crawford said.

“Nothing big.”

While the offense was on fire, the pitching wasn’t far behind as freshman Jasmine Antunez (1012) started the game and went 2.2 innings of no-hit ball while striking out two on two walks before being relieved by the sophomore Ybarra in the third. Ybarra also overpowered the Long Beach State offense, giving up no runs and only two hits. The first 49er hit didn’t come until the bottom of the fifth inning when first base-

man Sarah Carrasco hit a double to right center.

“I think we, as pitchers, just tried to play our game going into it and we just bought into it and did our roles,” Ybarra said.

Senior Katey Laban came in the bottom of the seventh inning to shut the door but quickly allowed three hits and one run. However, she was able to earn her second save of the season. 49er Amanda Hansen (6-5) threw all seven innings, giving up four runs (two earned) and 11 hits.

The 49ers were able to get on the board in the bottom of the seventh inning when shortstop Shayna Kimbrough hit an RBI single to bring in designated player Loni Tyler across home plate.

The win broke a three game losing streak for the Titans after being swept at home in a three game series by the Cal Poly Mustangs on March 29 and 30. They only managed to get four runs in those three games and produced the same amount in this game one win.

THE DAILY TITAN

APRIL 8, 2013 MONDAY

Titan baseball sweeps UC Davis, extends winning streak to seven The No. 4 ranked Titans outscore the Aggies 12-4 over three-game series GABY MARTINEZ Daily Titan

The fourth-ranked Cal State Fullerton baseball team (28-4, 6-0 Big West) swept the University of California Davis this past weekend to extend their winning streak to seven games as they continued to dominate their Big West foes. The Titans completed the sweep with a 5-2 victory over the Aggies Sunday afternoon.

Senior infielder Richy Pedroza drove a line drive single to right field to open the game. Carlos Lopez grounded out to the pitcher to advance Pedroza to second. Sophomore J.D. Davis singled to left driving in Pedroza to give the Titans a 1-0 lead in the first inning.

In the third inning, Pedroza again led off the hitting with a double. Lopez bunted to advance Pedroza to third, who scored on a throwing error by Aggies pitcher Evan Wolf. With Davis and Lopez on second and third, Michael Lorenzen homered to left field to bring the score to 4-0 in favor of the Titans.

The Aggies scored one run in both the fifth and eighth innings, but the Titans held on for the win. Sophomore right-handed pitcher Grahamm Wiest pitched 7.2 innings, allowing six hits and two runs for the win.

CSUF clinched the series with a come from behind 4-2 victory on Saturday. Down by a run in the top of the ninth inning, Richy Pedroza hit a two-run single to win the game for the Titans. With Austin Kingsolver in scoring position at second base down two outs in the top of the ninth, pinch hitter Clay

Williamson was walked. Pedroza drove in Kingsolver and Williamson. The Titans’ first tally in the game came in the seventh inning when Jake Jefferies singled to right to drive in Lorenzen.

Freshman pitcher Justin Garza pitched 7.1 innings, allowing nine hits and two earned runs. Reliever Tyler Peitzmeier grabbed the win, recording two outs in the eighth.

The Titans won their first game of the series against the Aggies on Friday with a 3-0 shutout. Freshman Thomas Eshelman pitched for the win with eight scoreless innings, and junior Michael Lorenzen pitched the final inning to complete the shutout. The rookie right-hander (7-1) retired the last 15 batters he faced. He allowed four hits and struck out four. He has not allowed a walk in 58 innings this year. Lorenzen earned his tenth save of the season.

Davis scored in the first from second base due to a throwing error by UC Davis shortstop Tino Lipson.

The second score from the Titans in the third inning came due to UC Davis pitcher Harry Stanwyck loading the bases on two walks and a hit batter. The third run came in the eighth inning on a two-out RBI by Lopez. He went 2-for-4 on the night driving in and scoring a run.

The Titan seven-game winning streak dates back to March 28. In that span, CSUF swept the University of the Pacific, defeated UCLA, and swept UC Davis. During that time, the Titans have outscored their opponents 66-18. Their seven-game winning streak is their third-longest streak of the season. CSUF previously had two separate 10-game winning streaks.

The baseball team looks to continue their hot streak against USC on Tuesday at home at 6 p.m. The Titans are 2-0 against USC this sea-

“We just wanted to have fun,” Miller said. “Once we realized we could start winning, that was part of the fun, and we kind of settled down and looked to the long run and saw that we could do something with this … at this point it’s all or nothing. If we don’t come back with a national championship, it’s a disappointment.”

CSUF completed the regular season with a 15-0-1 record, earning 31 of 32 possible points and finishing first in their eight-team division. The Titans outscored their opponents 112-43. Brown led the team with 30 goals in 15 games played.

“When he wants to do something out there, he just does it,” said Miller of Brown. “I can’t put it into words, but the determination and the grit— he just makes it happen. He puts the team on his back when he has to,

and that’s been the reason we’ve been so successful this year. Not to say he does it all, but when we need something clutch to happen, he’s there.”

“I think we’re gonna come home with a cup for Cal State Fullerton.”

TYLER SVOBODA Head Coach After winning their first four postseason games, the Titans will fly to Florida on Tuesday before kicking off the championship tournament on Wednesday. CSUF will be in one of five four-team pools, competing against Miami

(Ohio) University on Wednesday, State University of New York at Cortland on Thursday, and University of North Carolina, Charlotte on Friday. All games will be broadcast live on UstreamTV. “I expect us to win this thing,” said Svoboda. “I don’t go to any tournament if I don’t think I’m gonna win … I think we’re gonna come home with a cup for Cal State Fullerton.”

Half the team is graduating following the season, which could bring some uncertainty into next season. A new captain and goaltender will be needed, but Svoboda very well may stick around.

“If those guys want to play, I’ll be happy to coach them,” Svoboda said. “I’ll stay around as long as there’s a program and they want me. I’m there.”
