OC alliance honors CSUF President García accepts Community Partnership honor from community ROBERT REYES Daily Titan

In recognition for community collaborative efforts ranging from cancer research to after-school programs, President Mildred García accepted an award from the Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance (OCAPICA) on Thursday. The OCAPICA presented Cal State Fullerton with their Community Partnership Award during the organization’s annual “Gathering Under the Banyan Tree” dinner. García specifically acknowledged Sora Park Tanjasiri’s research into the high rates of cervical cancer in Pacific Islander women, which earned $2.6 million from the National Health Institute. She also praised Tu-Uyen Nguyen, Ph.D., for providing health awareness education to Asian American and Pacific Islander high school students, which brought in $1.3 million in federal grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Tanjasiri serves as the chair for the OCAPICA and

is one of two board members who currently works as a faculty member at CSUF. She called the $10 million in federal grants brought in through collaborations between Cal State Fullerton and OCAPICA as the partnership’s “best kept secret” and attributed their success to a common vision about who they serve. “We educate the people who work and stay in our communities,” Tanjasiri said. García also cited the university’s progress in implementing the nation’s first Vietnamese studies major as an accomplishment she is proud of. Courses in Vietnamese language, history and culture, as well as the culture of the Vietnamese population in Orange County will be included in a Vietnamese major, said Mitch Avila, Ph.D., the Associate Dean for Academic Programs for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Avila emphasized the communal aspect of the new major. “The degree is important for lots of reasons, but it’s not just merely an academic degree,” Avila said. “It’s a degree that has some significance and value to the community.” SEE HONOR, 3

Titans place second in Lone Star Showdown CSUF have their six game win streak snapped by Montana in tournament PATTON TRAN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team traveled halfway across the country this weekend to compete in the Lone Star Showdown hosted by Texas Tech. The two-day tournament had the Titans battling the Nevada Wolf Pack, the Montana Grizzlies and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The tournament started up Friday morning at 10 a.m. and concluded Saturday afternoon. The ladies in blue and orange launched the weekend with a clean sweep against Nevada, which extended their win streak to six games. Later that day, CSUF’s win streak was snapped by Montana in a sweep of the Titans. Fullerton finished the tournament strong by sweeping host Texas Tech on Saturday afternoon. Nevada had a slow start this season opening with a four game losing streak, most notably to UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis. Their leading scorer was Tessa Lea’ea who has a 2.70 kills

per set average. Fullerton opened the weekend strong with a 3-0 win streak vs Nevada. The Titans entered the tournament in fine form with a five game win streak. Sophomore middle blocker/ right setter Holland Crenshaw, performed well and tied her career high of 10 kills in a match. Senior middle blocker/right setter Leah Best added to the score with nine kills. In addition, Titans senior right setter Alyse Hensley scored nine kills and 13 digs. Senior outside hitter Bre Moreland nailed eight kills and 11 digs, and freshman outside hitter Paige Reed rescued with 14 digs. Breaking records on Friday, junior setter Julie Consani reached 1,273 career assists, now ranking ninth in the history of the Cal State Fullerton program. Montana started this season with a victory but has since then lost five straight. Kayla Rearbara was the player to watch for with an average of 3.08 kills per set coming into Friday’s match. In its game with Montana the Titans lost 0-3. The loss came with Hensley sinking 10 kills and Moreland with 12 in the match. SEE VOLLEYBALL, 6

ROTC cadets train for duty Cadets train with rifles, claymores and grenades during first session of year NEREIDA MORENO Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton’s Army ROTC cadets received hands-on training Friday to prepare for a summer training camp that will determine the course of their professional careers. The Reserved Officers Training Course is a program designed to train future Army officers.

In the summer between their junior and senior year, all ROTC cadets attend a Leadership Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) for 29 days. Master Sgt. Anthony Coates said the cadets will experience real Army training such as obstacle courses, various leadership exercises, both in the field and in garrison environments. “Imagine taking a bunch of college students who’ve only shot a rifle one time–you’re gonna pair them up with a squad of 6 to 8 soldiers and send them off all down-range at the same time

with real bullets,” Coates said. Students who fail to pass the LDAC are automatically removed from the program. Cadet Capt. Steven Ledesma said while the chances of not passing are slim to none, the course’s results affect the way that cadets rank among seniors around the world. Crawl, walk and run training The cadets participate in various training events on Fridays to help prepare for the LDAC. There are four senior-led

training exercises for the unit, allowing leadership experience for the cadets who are closest to graduating. The training is currently focused on basic tasks for new cadets. Each rotation is 35 minutes long. Command Sgt. Major Kevin Decook, a criminal justice major at CSUF, instructs the cadets how to complete a functions check on an M240 machine gun. SEE TRAINING, 2

Psychology of retirement explained Psychology encourages retirees to use exercises to maintain mental health ZEILA EDRIAL Daily Titan

Adjusting to life after retirement can be daunting for some. After a lifetime of work, a daily schedule devoid of activity can take a psychological toll on retirees. Maintaining mental sharpness becomes a priority as retirees age, according to Barbara Cherry, Ph.D., a psychology professor who presented a session called “Psychology of Retirement” at the Ruby Gerontology Center on Saturday. Darcy Krulisky, 62, attended the class. She was an assistant principal at a private school before being placed into “forced retirement,” due to the numbers at her school dropping. “My life right now is about the job search, but I’m looking, say-

ing, ‘Okay.’ At some point you have to be realistic and say, ‘Okay, maybe instead I just need to enjoy retirement,” Krulisky said. She has been participating in classes like the “Psychology of Retirement” to explore her options. Cherry presented techniques to maintain cognitive health for retirees. Laura Zettel-Watson, Ph.D., spoke about maintaining and enhancing social connections during the transition to retirement. Cherry has been working with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute for about eight to 10 years, collecting data for cognitive health. She presented a summary of her research during the “Psychology of Retirement” class. Cherry explained that cognitive function involved memory, how quickly people processed information and how people made decisions. She encouraged incorporating cognitive health into a daily routine by doing meaningful

activities, exercising bodies and exercising brains. Her research showed that doing so can improve mental health, vitality and physical function. In order to exercise the body, Cherry suggests taking stairs instead of elevators, parking farther from the door and walking the dog. She said learning a new language, playing games and doing something differently will help exercise the brain. When Zettel-Watson spoke about maintaining and enhancing social connections, she shared research which showed that social support was associated with lower levels of depression, loneliness and anxiety. She explained that it gave higher levels of life satisfaction and happiness. People with better social support also had fewer health problems, faster disease recovery and longer life, according to Zettel-Watson. She defined social support as “resources and interactions provided by others that may be use-

ful for helping a person to cope with a problem.” People receive this support from their social network, or “social convoy.” Zettel-Watson emphasized that this social convoy is made up of people who are directly in our lives, not “Facebook friends.” She said that as people age, they have a growing awareness that the time left to live is limited. A structural change in social network occurs, which involves the shedding of less important relationships. Ways to enhance social ties after retirement include staying connected to co-workers, volunteering for a favorite cause, joining a social group or taking a new class. “Psychology of Retirement” was part of a series of “Transitions in Retirement Essentials” classes on Saturdays. The next presentation, “Looking, Feeling and Acting Younger than Your Stated Age,” will be held on Sept. 21 at 9:30 a.m. in the Ruby Gerontology Center.

The M240 Bravo is a standard machine gun in the Army, Decook said. “They’re a little larger than what our regular M-16s or M4s that you see on television shoot,” said Decook. “They shoot a three-tenths of an inch bullet as opposed to a two-tenths of an inch bullet.” Decook teaches the students how the equipment works and how to load and unload safely. “We take them step by step. You can usually see that they’re really interested in this, A, because it’s California and B, because they’ve probably never touched a firearm before so they’re very attentive,” he said. The cadets are also trained on how to accurately throw a hand grenade. Cadet Capt. Evan Edison, a speech communications major at CSUF, said the grenade assault course is a very simple introduction to the use of hand grenades in a tactical environment. “What it teaches you is essentially how to assess a target, how to manipulate the grenade and how to actually assault an objective and utilize it against an active enemy,” Edison said. The cadet instructors have experienced this course for years and are able to teach the course with years of experience. “It’s been hammered home for us so we’ve been working hard to break it down and keep it simple for them so it’s easy for them to learn,” he said. Edison said the new cadets are picking up the training very quickly. “They care and it’s easy to see in just the way they conduct

themselves, especially carrying a weapon they’re responsive to instruction and training,” Edison said. Other field exercises include field improvisation, field craft (safety and preparation) and education concerning claymore mines. Claymore mines are developed to have a blasting radius of 60 degrees in front of the weapon, instead of the less precise, upward range of traditional landmines. While improvised explosive devices (IEDs) dig in the ground and blow upwards, claymores blow outwards with a kill range of 50 meters. “They’re crawling right now, learning all the individual techniques and stuff. Once they get to walk method, they’re gonna actually be getting tested on it and going to be applying it and using it,” Ledesma said. When cadets reach what is called the run method, they will be practicing squad tactical execution. The cadets will be training at CSUF for five weeks during the crawl phase and switching over to Tonner Canyon in Brea and Prado Park in Chino Hills where they will practice execution and land navigation, respectively. Life after LDAC Depending on how you do at LDAC and in ROTC, cadets are ranked against every cadet in the nation. Their ranking determines what type of job will be assigned and whether the cadet will be commissioned to active duty or into the reserves. The top ten percent is guaranteed a choice of whichever

branch they want. Cadet Capt. Steve Kim, a political science major at Biola University, said the higher you are on the list, the more guaranteed you are to get your position. “There is incentive to do well or else you might be stuck somewhere you might not want to be,” Kim said. About 5-6,000 cadets get commissioned as second lieutenants into the armed forces each year.

BOTANY

Plants, like humans and other life forms, require four intrinsic driving forces for survival: food, water, space and the biological equipment with the urge for procreation. In the architecture of birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects and plants—a sperm cell will fertilize an egg, planting the seed for an offspring to sprout. Allen transparently describes botanic concepts associated with climate, pollution, geography, geology and the loss of a species, which all play a heavy hand in influencing how the delicate biosphere of the planet can change. “Some colonies of the old world honey bee in the eastern U.S. are dying off,” Allen said. “The reasons are debated by scientists who study them: bad genetics, neonicotinoid pesticides, mites, etc. I suspect the answer will be a combination of reasons.” Pollination by bees is completely unintentional. Bees are hungry and extraordinarily “sloppy eaters.” Fortunately, the bee transfers leftovers, pollen, from one flowering plant to the next, involuntarily making itself a pollinator and a

key instrument in the circle of life. However, there are around 20,000 known bee species worldwide, some of which are incapable of pollinating certain species of plants. This means that extinction of certain bee species would stunt the pollination of specific plants, but not all plants. It could range from inhibiting almonds and alfalfa to broccoli and cauliflower. Plants, bees and humans play a role in the theory of consumer versus producer. Animals need to maintain a certain level of caloric intake per day. Omnivores subsist on calories obtained by eating both plants and animals. Herbivores likewise must be able to reach a sufficient daily consumption of calories, but are restricted to a diet of autotrophs, organisms which create their own energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Allen said that the most essential chemical reaction on Earth is photosynthesis, the internal power plant of many organisms. Plants translate energy emitted from the sun and use it in the same way people use ribeye to grow. It is the most efficient biological form of energy rendering in the world. This makes plants the producers of the planet, while the rest of life exploits and consumes from that resourceful capability. Regardless of what economists say, producers in the biological world must heavily outnumber consumers. “The education program at the Arboretum exists as a way for the community and the campus to connect to and explore the plants, sustainability and ecology as a whole,” said Evelyn Brown, the education manager for the Arboretum.

DTBRIEFS Flood kills five SARA HIATT

Five are dead and more than 1,200 remain reported missing amid heavy rains in the Boulder, Colo., area. Rains began Wednesday and continued through the weekend, slowing search and rescue efforts and grounding helicopters. According to the Colorado Office of Emergency Management (COEM), nearly 12,000 residents have been evacuated and up to 1,000 are still awaiting evacuation. Some residents have reportedly hiked out of canyons to escape rising waters. The flooding spans across 200 miles and encompasses 15 counties. About 19,000 residential structures have been damaged or destroyed, the COEM reported. Highways, roads and bridges have also been wiped out, contributing to the number of those unable to evacuate. Boulder County Transportation director George Gerstle estimated $150 million in repairs will be needed, saying 100 to 150 miles of roadway and 20 to 30 bridges will need repairs. More than 500 people are staying in the 26 shelters available in the area.

Calif. boosts minimum wage MIA MCCORMICK California lawmakers passed a bill Friday that will raise the state’s minimum wage, according to The Washington Times. This bill will raise minimum wage from the current $8 an hour to $10 an hour over the next three years. Currently, Washington has the highest minimum wage of any state in the U.S. at $9.19. The passage of this bill will change that, making California the best-paying minimum wage state in the nation. Despite being called an “economic drain” by the Chamber of Commerce, legislators passed the bill by a unanimous vote among Democratic members. “We have tagged it as a job killer, given the increased costs businesses will be faced with,” said Jennifer Barrera, a spokeswoman for the Chamber, before the vote was taken. Gov. Jerry Brown has yet to officially sign the bill into effect, but he has already stated his support for the measure.

Mother kills two children in hotel MIA MCCORMICK Police identified an Arizona woman as the person believed to have killed her two children at a Santa Ana hotel Sunday, according to the Orange County Register. The woman, 42-year-old Marilyn Edge, was arrested after attempting to kill herself in Costa Mesa on suspicion of the murder of her son and daughter. Costa Mesa police responded to a single-car crash on South Harbor Boulevard behind a Home Depot. Edge had driven the car into poles surrounding a power box, attempting to kill herself, authorities said. Edge then tried to strangle herself with an electrical cord after refusing to exit the car. Officials had to break a window to forcibly remove her, according to Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna. Edge informed officials of her dead son, 13, and daughter, 10. Santa Ana officials arrived at the hotel to find both children dead inside a third-floor room. Edge was arrested after being discharged from Hoag Hospital for her injuries.

The event, which took place at the Sheraton Garden GroveAnaheim South Hotel, featured many CSUF students and alumni including Ashley Cheri, OCAPICA Program Manager and Tam Nguyen, President of the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce. Cheri, who graduated from CSUF in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in health science and in 2012 with a master’s in education, helped implement Magnolia High School’s Healthy Asian Pacific Islander Youth Empowerment Program (HAPI-YEP) in Anaheim. HAPI-YEP is a collaborative project between the OCAPICA and CSUF aimed at addressing health concerns of Pacific Islander and Southeast Asian youth in Orange County. The after-school program provides students with workshops, mentoring, leadership development, academic advisement and field trips to colleges and museums. In August, García was honored by the Orange County Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Viet Foundation awarded her with the Local Hero in Educational Excellence Award last October. “It just shows that different Asian-based organizations are recognizing her for the leadership that she’s showing, not only in the Hispanic community, African-American community, but also the Asian-American community,” said Nguyen, Chairman of the Viet Foundation and CSUF alumnus. García envisions an even stronger relationship between CSUF and OCAPICA in the future and wants its members to consider CSUF as “their university.” OCAPICA currently has many other programs with partners such as the College Access Foundation of California, Southern California Edison, and the National Cancer Institute. This was the 16th annual “Gathering Under the Banyan Tree” dinner. Other award recipients included the nonprofit organization OneOC, the Orange County Susan G. Komen for the Cure affiliate and state Sen. Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana).

School district monitors posts SARA HIATT The Glendale Unified School District has begun monitoring students social media posts on Facebook, Twitter and other social media, according to CNN. Public postings made by 14,000 middle and high school students 13 and over will be searched for violence, drug use, truancy, suicidal threats and bullying. The service will also be able to tell if students are using smartphones during class time. The school district has contracted the newly formed firm, Geo Listening, and is paying $40,500 for the service. A trial run of the monitoring costing $5,000 was tested on about 9,000 students successfully last spring, intervening with a student who was talking about ending his life. Two students had committed suicide in the two years before the pilot run of the program. Many have been critical of the program, saying hiring an outside contractor to monitor students’ social media is essentially stalking. So far, no student has been disciplined for any posts that have been made, however some have been spoken to about the effects of making inappropriate posts.

John Alan Simon, the director of Radio Free Albemuth, said that while facing all the challenges of making the film, he felt Dick’s spirit was helping him make it. The film is considered one of Dick’s most autobiographical works. It takes place in the 1980s, in a fascist alternate America, where the country’s Chief Executive calls for the annulment of civil liberties in order to combat a seemingly fictitious subversive group. The story is based on visions and other phenomena Dick had during the infamous “23-74” incidents while living in Orange County. Dick injects himself into the plot as the character of Nicholas Brady, weaving real-life events into his narrative. According to the Los Angeles Times, while staying in Vancouver, Canada, Dick had been in contact with Willis McNelly, a Cal State Fullerton professor of English, and tossed around the idea of moving down to Orange County. After a failed suicide attempt, Dick made the move and lived out the final years of his life in Orange County. Acclaimed science fiction author and CSUF alumnus Tim Powers picked up Dick, carrying only a Bible and a

cardboard box, from LAX. “Frankly, on that evening he looked cheerful but exhausted and desperate ... he was now hoping that he could somehow find a life in this unknown southern end of California, among strangers,” Powers said. Dick’s five marriages and divorces, along with drug abuse, creative dry spells and

a suicide attempt, allowed him to write some of his most personal material during his time, including Radio Free Albemuth, A Scanner Darkly and what would become The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick– –a million word collection of journal entries exploring the religious experiences of “2-374.” However, Dick also found

some stability in his new home in Orange County. “I think he kind of found a little community of people that he liked … and just found a way to live quietly and go within,” Simon said. “Which is a lot of what the journey for Radio Free Albemuth is, an inward journey, which is really what all journeys worth taking are.”

Exams prove to be a nuisance College exit exams are arbitrary and delay students from graduating CHU-LING YEE Daily Titan

After four years, the one word every college student wishes to hear is “graduation.” After four years of pulling allnighters, waking up early to find a parking spot and being on the verge of having a panic attack with every test, all students look forward to walking on stage and accepting their diploma. However, it soon may not be that easy. Recently, NBC News reported that more and more schools have adopted college exit exams as their final requirement to graduate. After spending years of their life in the classroom, students do not need an additional requirement added on to graduate. Roughly 200 institutions have implemented the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+), a 90-minute exit exam consisting of math, writing and critical thinking. The test sounds reminiscent of college-entry exams like the Scholastic Aptitude Test and ACT. The purpose of the SAT and ACT is to help universities see a student’s academic potential. Now there’s a test to see if

students qualify to graduate. The problem is that students have to prove they are capable of succeeding in a career based on the results of exams that have nothing to do with their respective majors. These exams consist of a general set of questions, as opposed to the specifics that potential graduates need in their field. The job market has become extremely competitive, and employers are considering these scores to help determine who gets the job. Are the exams fair? A student’s major dictates what classes he or she takes and what skills they will inherit and fine tune throughout their educational experience. A mathematics exam will not be able to accurately measure an art history major’s ability to curate a museum. Students in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics have an advantage for this portion of the exam, yet they are not expected to understand the cultural significance of Keith Haring or Jackson Pollock paintings. If the makers of the college exit exam decided it was necessary for college students to be able to analyze abstract art from the 20th century, math and science majors would be picketing the administration building. Some students need five or six years to graduate due to their major requirements. If they have

to take more English or math classes to help them pass, this has the potential to delay their graduation even further. These exit exams are unnecessary. If the purpose is to help a potential applicant get hired, how do the exams help? What does the employer learn about the applicant based on these exams? Employers have a better understanding of a person based on past experiences, a pro-

file, and recommendations. Exams cannot tell an employer about a person. Memorizing answers and being able to randomly pick the right answer does not tell how well a person is going to be at their job. Employers should stick to looking at applicants’ past work to get a better understanding of what they bring to the workplace. Grade point averages and ex-

ams will never tell exactly what a person is capable of. Students have anxiety and can become so nervous that they forget the answers or the methods to solving a mathematical problem. The exit exams cannot measure a person’s critical thinking simply based on a general set of questions. Up until last year, students were required to pass the Examination in Writing Profi-

MARIAH CARILLO / Daily Titan ciency (EWP) to graduate. However, the EWP is now only required for graduate students whose respective majors asks for it. The exam was removed after it was found to not fulfill its intended purpose. Students at Cal State Fullerton should be thankful that they do not have to take exit exams. Exams do not tell anyone who a person is or what their capabilities are.

Scanner raises privacy concerns Some are worried whether Apple will send information to government ETHAN HAWKES Daily Titan

Technology scares people. The idea that the government is using the latest technology to invade a person’s privacy has been a controversial topic since the invention of telephones. In recent years, technology has made leaps and bounds. Nearly every phone now has a GPS, a camera and can connect to the internet making it possible for outside entities to spy on the consumer. Yet, it seems as though the prospect of the government spying on consumers hasn’t

stopped them from snatching up brand new phones every time they come out. With the majority of new technology made with convenience in mind, any new development leads to a public outcry. Among all the hype of Tuesday’s Apple keynote about the company’s new iPhones, one new component struck a chord with a few onlookers: The fingerprint scanner. Touted as a feature that will allow users to securely lock and quickly unlock their phone, the fingerprint scanner raises some privacy concerns. According to the Apple press conference, the scanner stores the user’s fingerprints inside of the phone itself as opposed to on a server located at Apple’s headquarters.

The decision to keep the information local makes it harder for hackers to get personal information, puts privacy concerns to rest and keeps fingerprints more secure. That is of course if it’s true. Remember, Apple was reported to have been a partner in the National Security Agency’s PRISM program and has admitted it gives users’ data if the government asks for it. The imperative word is “if.” If the government wants the data they will obtain it, but why would the government care about a person who just wants the latest tech? Even though there was a minor outcry on Twitter over the finger scanning iPhone 5s, Apple probably won’t change it. Other tech products, in fear

of losing market share, had to make compromises. When the Xbox One was announced it initially required a constant Internet connection and the Kinect, which is a motion capture camera, to be connected at all times. On top of that, the device would always be listening for the phrase “Xbox On.” Between always listening and always connected, consumers were put off by the concept and created an uproar. Microsoft caved under the pressure and made the Xbox One an offline system not requiring the Kinect to be plugged in. Reading through some of the opinions against the always connected Xbox, a majority of the concerns were the thought of the government spying on

players reminiscent of George Orwell’s novel, 1984. Even if this were true, why would the government care about what they do when playing video games? Do they really think they are important enough that the government would tap into their living room to watch their life? Hate to break it to them, but the government has more pressing problems to worry about than the fact that gamers like to curse profusely at other Call of Duty players in their underwear. The amount of resources it would take to monitor every person at all times wouldn’t even be feasible. Even so, if the government really wanted to spy on its citizens, there are plenty of other means that they can em-

ploy. Nearly every device, from tablet, smart phone to laptop, contains some sort of GPS and camera, which are perfect for spying on “innocent” citizens. Though the iPhone may soon have your fingerprint, Facebook already has a person’s face, Twitter has a person’s thoughts and Google has a person’s search history. Privacy is already dead to those who use the Internet. Might as well embrace it. It hasn’t hurt so far. The only solution for those concerned is to unplug the Internet, chuck the cell phones and move off the grid to the woods. Technology will continue to take away our supposed privacy in the name of convenience. It hasn’t seemed to bother tech consumers yet.

Exhibit holds onto innocence CSUF grad student explores childhood and lets go of fear and labels IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The latest exhibit displayed at the Pollak Library’s Atrium Gallery enters the mind of Courtney Conlon, a Cal State Fullerton counseling graduate. The installation titled Letting Go features photographs and drawings that capture innocence and joy. It is a reminder to appreciate the simple things and to “Feel.Live.Be.” Although there may be several ways one can interpret Letting Go, Conlon hopes people can be able to take something away from it. “My hope is that maybe it will allow for people to let go of fear a bit because fear is learned,” Conlon said. “Trust was in us before the fear.” One aspect of Conlon’s exhibition is freeing yourself from titles. While Conlon’s labels include “artist,” “woman” or “girlfriend,” she refuses to have those words define who she is. She said that by letting go of labels, which can limit your capabilities, one can experience the world to its fullest. Before entering the exhibit is a sign describing Letting Go’s theme and influence behind it. The sign ends with the message to “Feel.Live.Be.” These three words depict the way Conlon approaches life and serves as a reminder to take the time to enjoy your surroundings instead of feeling the weight of the world. “I try to stay in touch with the kid inside me because that’s about as honest as it gets,” Conlon said. “I don’t watch TV or surf the Internet. I want to avoid filling my mind with noise.”

Conlon’s free-spirited personality is portrayed through her creative process. “I don’t have plans for my art or anything else,” Conlon said. “I just go with the f low and jump at opportunity as it arises. I stay away from planning as much as possible.” Kristin Beals, a CSUF psychology pwrofessor, helped curate the exhibit. “I think that this exhibit suggests to viewers that we’re all artists, if we allow ourselves to be,” Beals said. Since Letting Go is showcased on campus at the Atrium Gallery, students can stop by the Pollak Library anytime in between classes to view Conlon’s work. Students can leave feedback in two guest sign-in books available in the gallery. Founder of the OC Art Blog, Chris Hoff worked closely with Beals and Conlon to bring Letting Go to the CSUF’s art gallery. “I’ve known Courtney for a long time and was excited to help Courtney and Kris get Letting Go approved by the Pollak Library,” Hoff said. “The Pollak Library offers exhibition opportunities to artists that are much needed in the community.” Hoff interpreted Conlon’s installation as inspiring people to let go of the conceptual mind and to open their eyes and see the beautiful things life has to offer. “I don’t care so much people become more interested in art per se, but whatever it is that frees someone enough to tap into the childlike curiosity inside themselves,” Conlon said. “For me it just happens to result in art but it could look like anything.” Letting Go ends its stay on campus Sept. 30 and will make its next stop at The Library Coffee House in Long Beach.

Arturo Jacobo, better known as DJ Fuze, won a radio station competition in 2006. After sending in numerous demos, he was offered an on-air spot a year later.

DJ fuses old and new Power 106 FM artist will perform Wednesday at the Becker Amphitheater BRIAN CHESTER Daily Titan

Reigning from Power 106 FM is an artist who knows a thing or two about drawing in listeners with a good beat and locking it down with unforgettable hooks. As part of the weekly live acts scheduled for the Becker Amphitheater is DJ Fuze, who will perform Wednesday at noon. Arturo Jacobo, 28, better known as DJ Fuze, experimented with turntables in high school after listening to bands such as Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Incubus. “They all had DJs in the background scratching and I just thought it sounded so cool,” Jacobo said. Jacobo’s mother bought him his very first turntable set for his 15th birthday. Although he had little knowledge on how to use the equipment, Jacobo instinctively knew that this was what he wanted to do.

Daily Titan

”I started out just wanting to scratch on the records just for fun, just like any other little hobby on the side,” Jacobo said. “Little by little I started putting things together, like okay this is how DJs do it on the radio, this is how DJs do it at parties and clubs.”

“It just goes to show, start from the bottom and progress to bigger things as the years go by.” Arturo Jacobo DJ Fuze

Jacobo immersed himself in online forums, books, videos and any other resources he could get his hands on. “I just taught myself,” Jacobo said. “Locked myself in my room. For years I was just practicing in my bedroom.” He listened to the DJs on Pow-

er 106 radio station and practiced duplicating their sound as best as he could. The old school style he picked up is evident in Jacobo’s music. “I still have that old school style of mixing, like that West Coast sound of scratching, and a lot of beat juggling,” Jacobo said. After a well-earned three years of producing music in his bedroom, Jacobo finally branched out and performed publicly for the first time at a high school party. “I’ll never forget that day,” Jacobo said. “It just goes to show, start from the bottom and progress to bigger things as the years go by.” Jacobo’s big break came in 2006, when he entered into a DJ battle called Power Mixer Idol, put on by Big Boi of Power 106. The contest offered a promising $2,000 prize and a guest DJ spot on Power 106. Jacobo sent in his mix, competing against several hundreds of aspiring artists. For months, the radio station played the mixes that weren’t meeting the grade. The top six mixes were debuted on the last day of the contest, Jacobo being one of them.

After a tenuous battle of onair mixing and a final live performance at Six Flag’s Magic Mountain, DJ Fuze was declared the winner of the contest and received a one hour guest spot on Power 106. “That’s kind of when I went from being a bedroom DJ and started doing more stuff,” Jacobo said. “After I won the battle, I kind of stepped on trying to make it into something bigger like getting hired.” With a newfound confidence and a bigger push for success, Jacobo sent in numerous demo tapes to Power 106. Flash forward a year later, he got what what he deserved. “In 2007 in December, they finally gave me a chance to try out on air, and I‘ve been on air since,” Jacobo said. Jacobo hopes to travel and play venues in Las Vegas, New York and Miami. “That’s where I want to take it next,” he said. “It’s a hard accomplishment but it’s definitely possible with hard work.” For the latest news and up coming events, visit him at Facebook. com/DjFuze106 or follow his Twitter handle @DJFUZE106.

Just a short drive north of Cal State Fullerton, located on Birch Street, is a festival with live music and people dancing in the streets. The City of Brea is holding its 11th Annual Brea Downtown Jazz Festival every weekend in September. The free event is open Saturdays beginning at 4 p.m. and Sundays beginning at noon. A different headline jazz and/or blues band will be performing each day. “The entire community is involved and it just keeps growing bigger and bigger every year,” said Garry Hobday, host of the Brea Jazz Festival. Hobday, who has hosted the event since its inception 11 years ago, said the crowds can range anywhere from 3,000 to 6,000 people. “The Brea Jazz Festival has become a central event in Brea and in bringing surrounding communities together,” said Karalee Watson, Director of the Brea Downtown Owners Association. Patrons can bring lawn chairs and small coolers to the event to use if they find room along the open seating avail-

able in front of the main stage. For those who find it difficult to sit still during the live show, they can make their way in front of the stage to dance and let loose. The Rebellious Blues Dogs, a blues band that blends elements of rockabilly, swing and Tex-Mex influences into their sound, was the first act for the festival’s opening day on Sept. 7. Opening day drew in a large, energetic crowd as the Rebellious Blues Dogs delivered a blood pulsing performance. The band, made up of Leff Rogers (guitar), Mike Cortez (guitar), “Big Mike” Vasquez (bass), Leo Badger (drums) and Tony “Teddy Bear” Rodriguez (harmonica), kept the festival’s mood upbeat and alive from start to finish. “When the crowd’s up, the band’s up,” Rogers said. Rodriguez was a crowd favorite as he displayed impressive, lengthy harmonica solos on various songs. “Fun, a lot of fun. The crowd was into it and everyone was dancing from the first song,” Vasquez said. Along the blocked off street are local establishments serving up food and drinks, offering a family style or night out on the town environment. Whether you’re hungry for a big breakfast or craving a sweet-tooth dessert, restaurants such as Bruxie and Far-

Reed and Moreland led the defense with 15 digs each. The duo were named to the all-tournament team and the Titans have had at least one player make the all-tournament team in all three tournaments they have participated in this season. Fullerton seemed to perform better during the last set with a score of 26-24. Montana’s Brooke Bray led her team with 11 kills and Megan Murphy helped defensively with 21 digs. Texas Tech started off the season with a loss in the first game but won the next five. The Red Raiders stumbled into the tournament losers of four straight games. In the final day, Fullerton faced Texas Tech. Fullerton finished strong with a 3-0 sweep. Saturday afternoon Hensley striked with 11 kills and 13 digs, also landing her fifth double-double of the season, coupled with Moreland adding nine kills and defensively leading the team with 17 digs. The Titans lit up the stat sheet with senior outside hitter Abbie Miraldi hammering five service aces and adding 10 digs. Consani aggressively attacked with the rate of .202 which lead to her third doubledouble and also helped with 31 assists and 14 digs. On the final day of the tournament, Consani jumped another spot to eighth in Fullerton’s all-time history with her 1,343 career assist. The Titans’ best hitting percentage was .212 in the match against Nevada. Crenshaw had three blocks in the loss to Montana.

CSUF gets a win in front of sixth largest crowd in the program’s history VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan

Before Friday’s match against Loyola Marymount University, junior midfielder Brianna Chapman hadn’t so much as played a minute for the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team this season, let alone had a shot on goal. After the match, Chapman, who had been recovering from injury, has still only featured in a little under 15 minutes for the Titans but was the proud owner of one very big goal. In front of 1,176 fans at Titan Stadium, the sixth largest crowd in school history, the women of CSUF locked tusks with the Lions of LMU for almost 90 minutes without a breakthrough for either team. Having not scored in a narrow defeat to Texas Tech last week, it looked as though the Titans might be doomed to another goalless effort despite controlling much of the game. That’s when Chapman, a second half substitute, stepped forward for the Titans. “The first thing I thought was this (ball) is not getting out of here, we’re going to get a corner out of it or we’re going to get something out of it. We’re not just going to let a good opportunity go to waste,” Chapman said. Chapman’s goal, a superbly curled shot just inside of 18 yards, came with just over a minute remaining on the clock. Initially, the Titans had pushed everyone forward for a corner to be taken by freshman midfielder Ali White. Chapman was not originally part of the play, as White’s corner was cleared by the LMU defense but found its way back to White out wide left. White immediately found Chapman lurking just left of the arch at the top of the penalty area, where the midfielder unleashed a left-footed shot that was blocked at first by an onrushing LMU defender. Luckily for Chapman and the the Titans, the deflected shot sat up perfectly for Chapman and her second, right-footed shot went just past the outstretched

It seems it doesn’t matter which coast the Titans play on this season, the results remain the same with another lead squandered leading to another overtime loss to Cornell University Friday night. What could be the plot of a bad horror story is sadly nothing more than a microcosm of the Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team season in 2013. In Ithaca, N.Y., on Friday the 13th nonetheless, the Titans luck ran just short, losing to Cornell 2-1 after leading the match via a 64th minute strike from junior midfielder Ian Ramos but gave

hands of LMU goalkeeper Brittany Jagger. Jagger had stopped all three of CSUF’s shots before allowing the game winner. In addition to being the match winner, the goal would be Chapman’s first of the season and first of her Titan career. And after the match, her coach had nothing but praise for the midfielder’s resilience and focus coming into a tight contest. “It was great for (Brianna), obviously it was great for our program,” Head Coach Demian Brown said. “Bri is someone we have been wanting to get on the field. She’s been training her backside off and doing great. She’s been battling some injuries. We felt very confident putting her in today, it’s a great way for her to start her season getting a goal like that tonight.” For LMU’s part, the Lions did put a scare into the Titans

through some great link-up play between their forward pairing of Tawni Martino and Jocelyn Blankenship at times. But their efforts were thwarted each time by senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic, who recorded her third shutout of the 2013 season. Maricic finished the game with three saves. Despite getting the match’s only goal in the dying minutes, the Titans appeared to thoroughly outplay LMU for a majority of the match, controlling most of the possession and holding a distinct advantage in shots (17-6) and corner kicks (61) on the night. The women of CSUF were unfortunate on some calls from the referees. The first decision came when a ball was shot in the net midway through the first half that was rightly judged offside by the assistant referee, as sophomore

forward Christina Burkenroad was just a step ahead of the defense before poking home a right-footed shot.

“Bri is someone we have been wanting to get on the field. She’s been training her backside off and doing great.” Demian Brown Head Coach

A second decision was incorrectly called against the Titans after senior midfielder Erica Mazeau was clearly fouled in

the LMU box and the referee blew his whistle, only to award a free kick just outside the LMU penalty area. “I thought it was in the box, I mean I fell in the box so I’m pretty sure it should have been a penalty kick but whatever,” Mazeau said. Mazeau did not agree with the call and was upset that the referee did not explain his decision to her. “(The referee) just was stubborn and no, they like to stick with their call, so just outside the box,” Mazeau said. “They put it right outside the line. I mean it was in the box, it should have been a PK.” With the win, CSUF is now 3-2-1 on the season and remains undefeated at home, where they hold a 3-0-2 record For more information on the CSUF women’s soccer team and all Titan athletics go to FullertonTitans.com

up a late equalizer and the winner in overtime. The loss is the Titans third straight and their second consecutive overtime loss. Initially, everything started off well for the Titans, holding the Big Red of Cornell scoreless through the first half. CSUF looked to have handled the cross country travel nicely and were able to put the No. 25 team in Top Drawer Soccer’s Rankings under a decent amount of pressure to start the match. To end the first half, the Titans even held a slight edge in the shots department 4-3. Less than 10 minutes into the second half, CSUF got off to a dream start through star winger Ian Ramos. In the 64th minute, freshman forward David Beary sent a perfect cross from the left side of the pitch that Ramos masterfully

met and headed past Cornell goalkeeper Zach Zagorski at the far post. The goal was Ramos’ first goal and point of the season and the first assist for the freshman Beary. A goal to the good, Fullerton successfully weathered an onslaught from the Big Red throughout much of the second half. Having been up two goals to none in their prior contest away to the University of San Diego, the Titans hard work on the defensive side stifled Cornell. Titans senior goalkeeper Brian Escalante was sharp between the posts contributing five saves and was looking to record his first shutout of the 2013 season. Sadly, it was not meant to be for the Titans, as their late game demons came back to haunt them for a second game in a row.

With just over a minute remaining in the second half, Cornell’s senior defender Jake Rinow capitalized on a last gasp scramble in the Titan box to head home the equalizer for the Big Red. The goal was Rinow’s first of the season, sending Cornell to their third overtime session in three games and the Titan’s second in a row. While the deja vu of overtime was one to forget for the Titans, having experienced heartbreak days earlier in San Diego, for Cornell it seemed to be business as usual. In overtime, the Big Red’s junior midfielder Conor Goepel notched his second overtime winner in consecutive games for the team. The game-winning goal, coming in the 96th minute, followed a flurry of chances from the

Titans at the other end before Goepel converted on a Cornell corner, beating Escalante from the right side of the CSUF box. With the loss, the Titans fell to 1-4 for the second straight season. The Titans were barely outshot in the game 14-13 and the two teams tied for corners with six apiece. Ramos led CSUF with four shots and Goepel led Cornell with five shots. The loss was CSUF’s third straight, leaving the team winless on the road. The Cornell match was the second of a season-long fourgame road swing for the Titans. Next up for the men is a trip to Nebraska for the final game in their trip versus the Mavericks of Nebraska University at Omaha. The Mavericks are 1-3 this season and 1-1 at home.

Titans earn draw against Aggies CSUF earns fifth shutout of the season and remain undefeated at home ABRAHAM JAUREGUI Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team battled Utah State to a double overtime draw on a hot September Sunday, continuing their undefeated streak at Titan Stadium. The Titans were coming off an emotional and exciting game from Friday night’s last minute win at home where they pulled ahead of the Loyola Marymount Lions 1-0. They were ready to continue that winning streak at Titan Stadium in front of 258 loyal fans. The Aggies came into yesterday’s game desperate to get back on the winning track after losing their first match of the season to the No. 25 team in the nation, the Arkansas Razorbacks in Logan, Utah. The heartbreaking loss came in overtime with a final score of 3-2. Nine starters from the NCAA Tournament qualifying team returned this year for the cohesive and tenacious Aggies and it translated to their unified play on the field. The Titans dominated the time of possession and for most of the game seemed in total control by pressuring and taking more shots on goal (17-12). But in the end, the Titans could not capitalize and pull forward to defeat the Aggies, who seemed a bit sluggish in the warm Southern California weather. The Aggies made nine substitutions throughout the 110-minute match. “If we don’t score the goals that we’re supposed to score,

we don’t win games,” said Head Coach Demian Brown, who is in his seventh season as head coach, 10th overall with CSUF. “But I’m happy with the way that we played, but unfortunately the way that we played doesn’t result in goals.” In the first half, the Titans played a great defensive game by not allowing the Aggies a single corner kick and only three total shots on goal. On offense, the Titans posted eight shots on goal and nearly scored in the first two minutes of the game when senior forward Nikki McCants almost scored in the box but was met by the Aggies sliding sophomore goalie, Jeannie Woller, who deflected the ball out. During the second half and overtime, the Aggies adjusted and turned the pressure on the Titans by adding nine more shots on goal and ending the game with 12 compared to the Titans’ 17. The Titans dominated the corner kick advantage 7-1, but in part to the Titans inability to get through and score on the Aggies’ stingy defense. The best opportunity for the Titans to score in the double overtime game came in the second half when senior midfielder Erica Mazeau blasted a rocket shot from about 20 yards out. The shot looked like an unstoppable goal, so much so that the Aggies goalkeeper didn’t even attempt to stop it and only looked on. To everyone’s amazement, the ball hit the upright post and bounced back into the field of play. “Well, I was just running at them, and shot it and it looked like it was going in, but it just hit the post,” Mazeau said. “I probably should have curved my foot

more and so it twisted it and then it would’ve curved in.” In overtime, the Aggies quickly went all out on offense trying to steal this game from the Titans and fly back to their next game in Utah with a win. In the last overtime period, the Aggies posted four shots on goal in a span of 10 minutes, but the Titan defense and senior goalkeeper, Lyndsey Mar-

Titans surrender another lead and remain winless on four game road trip VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton Head Coach Bob Ammann must feel like he’s starring in a remake of John Carpenters’ Escape New York. Playing in the second of two weekend matches in the Empire State, the Titans once again came up short losing 3-1 to the Colgate University Raiders on Sunday. Two goals from Colgate’s freshman forward Zach Pagani and an insurance tally by freshman forward Geinda Smith with just over a minute to play proved too much for the Titans, who fell to 1-5 on the season. Facing off against the Raiders on Sunday afternoon, the Titans, reeling from three straight defeats coming in, including two straight overtime losses, were hoping a contest with the winless Raiders might provide the side with a chance to flip the script on their poor start to the season. And while Ammann’s side had struggled on the road so far in 2013, they were able to find an early lead against the run of play to start Sunday’s match. Despite Colgate controlling much of the early possession and finding gaps around the edges of the Fullerton defense, junior midfielder Ian Ramos nabbed the game’s first goal in the 18th minute after sophomore Colin Okirie was levelled in the Colgate penalty area.

forward Mari Miyashiro. “It was just a rough day, but I think we came out here and defended really well and we had a lot of the right ideas, we just needed to do that last thing where we put it away,” Maricic said. With the scoreless draw, the Titans now post a record of 3-22; the Aggies now find themselves at 4-1-2.

The Titans next match is against the tough Washington State Cougars, who will also be coming off a double overtime draw at Oklahoma State. The game is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 20 at 6 p.m. at Titan Stadium. For more information on the CSUF women’s soccer team and all Titan Athletics, go to FullertonTitans.com

Senior forward Nikki McCants fights for possession of the ball with two Aggies around her. The team battled to a scoreless draw Sunday afternoon.

CSUF limp out of New York winless Ramos stepped up to the penalty spot and finished low to Colgate freshman goalkeeper Ricky Brown’s left, giving the Titans a one goal lead. The goal was Ramos’ second in consecutive games and the second straight game in which the midfielder had given CSUF the early lead. But just as they had done in their previous match, the Titans were unable to hold onto their lead, as the Raiders charged right back almost immediately. Working the right side of the CSUF defense, Colgate’s Ethan Kutler and Barrett Metzger played a few quick passes to free up Metzger for a cross into the Fullerton area. Having been sharp under Colgate pressure to start the match, CSUF’s senior goalkeeper Brian Escalante could only watch as his defense allowed Pagani to squeeze between two defenders and finish just inside the near post. Despite the goal in the 24th minute, you’d be hard pressed not to feel bad for the Fullerton keeper as his five saves in the half kept the Titans level to end the first half. Level at one, the second half provided a promising start for the Titans as they appeared to settle in under the Colgate pressure and even provided two dangerous moments of their own in front of the Raider’s goal. Once again, it was Ramos and Okirie providing the spark for CSUF, as each player was denied in separate opportunities by goal line clearances from the Colgate defense. The Titans’ luck quickly reverted, though, when a sloppy

icic, would not allow a goal. The shutout was the fifth for the team this season and Maricic’s fourth. With three minutes left in the second overtime, Utah State midfielder Jessica Brooksby shot a dart toward the goal, but Maricic made a game-saving block inside the heavily congested box and quickly deflected another shot from Utah State

back pass by freshman David Beary put Escalante under considerable pressure with Colgate’s Pagani closing quickly. Escalante could only play his clearance straight into Pagani with a favorable bounce allowing the forward to finish into an empty net in the 74th minute. Down two goals to one, the Titans pushed forward for the remainder of the match but to little effect, and in the 89th minute Colgate’s Smith put the match out of reach, finishing off the Raiders’ counterattack. Escalante finished the game with seven saves for the Titans while Brown finished with two saves for the Raiders. Okirie and Ramos tied for the team lead with two shots each. Tanner Schilling led the Raiders with a game high six shots. Schilling was credited with the assist on the game winner. The Raiders fired 23 shots while the Titans only had seven shots. Colgate held the advantage in corners for the match 6-1. The Titans leave New York having been up in two straight contests, only to see their lead erased by both opponents. The loss is CSUF’s fourth on the bounce and third of the fourgame road trip. Ammann’s men will head to the Midwest looking to salvage the final game of this road swing when they take on the Mavericks of University of Nebraska at Omaha. The Mavericks are 1-3 this season and 1-1 at home. For more information on men’s soccer and all Titan athletics, visit FullertonTitans.com
