Park rangers with bad habits

ROBERT REYES Daily Titan

Tom Kenny, best known as the voice of Spongebob Squarepants, clears up a few rumors—he’s not racist or homophobic. Kenny, 51, takes on a rather conservative role in the animated television series, Brickleberry.

Although you may be familiar with the voice of the loveable, child-like undersea character on Nickelodeon, Kenny’s role as a 55-year-old overweight park ranger attracts Comedy Central’s rather “mature” audience.

Created by comedians Waco O’Guin and Roger Black, the animated series follows the adventures of the park rangers of Brickleberry National Park and their talking grizzly cub companion, Malloy, voiced by Daniel Tosh.

The series started it’s second season earlier this month and looks to continue its tradition

of taking controversial jabs at just about anything from AIDS to abortion.

Far from subtle and deft, Brickleberry prides itself on “reckless handling” on topical issues said voice actor Jerry Minor, who plays Denzel Jackson, a black park ranger who avoids work and has a fetish for older women.

Minor said the animation looks better this season compared to the first season. But Brickleberry fans can expect the content to reflect the first season.

“A lot of the same but different jokes,” Minor said.

Kenny said the whole process of making an episode has slightly changed.

Things have become clearer in terms of content and execution after everyone saw the first season.

“Everybody settles down and lets you make the show it’s supposed to be,” Kenny said.

This is not the first time Kenny and Minor have worked together.

ASI board of executives talks children’s center BRIAN CHESTER Daily Titan

The Associated Students Incorporated Board of Directors, met yesterday to deliberate the latest issues involving ASI including a budget crisis faced by the children’s center and the allocation of funds for science students.

A dominant issue during the meeting concerned the Children’s Center’s current issues.

The facility is currently facing state and federal budget cuts which have caused the center to lose its family child care home network and the California state food program.

The center serves as a developmental facility for children and receives 37 percent of its budget from ASI student fees.

Out of 155 children served at the center, 108 of them are children of Cal State Fullerton students.

The Natural Science and Mathematics Inter-Club Council (NSM-ICC) also faced earlier funding cuts this year–a total of $2,500 according to NSM-ICC Chair Robert Wright.

During the meeting, Wright requested a proposal to allocate no more than $3,000 from reserves to provide funding for NSM-ICC. This would give the council an opportunity to host more events, such as student research.

ASI passed the request.

“I think it’s a wonderful opportunity to grant them money to host these wonderful events,”

said College of Education Chair, Kendall Perez.

Another request passed was the appointment of Maria Gutierrez to fill the vacancy on the ASI Board of Directors for the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The position will be effective Sept. 17 and

Advocates for homeless urge council Community criticizes city’s action on homeless at City Council meeting MATTHEW MEDINA & ROBERT REYES Daily Titan

Fullerton’s City Council meeting on Tuesday saw over 30 individuals participate in their public comment session, and almost all of them criticized the city’s treatment of

homeless residents.

On a night when some advocates for the homeless invoked the memory of Kelly Thomas, the majority of their complaints focused on a city ordinance in which homeless individuals and other people sleeping outdoors can be issued fines of up to $2,000 for “illegal camping.”

Council members also unanimously approved a rate increase on citizens’ water bills in order to pay for mainte-

nance on water mains and other parts of the infrastructure.

A report from Fullerton Police Chief Dan Hughes stated that the department’s officers issued 59 citations for illegal camping during a seven-week period this past summer, ending Aug. 24, according to the Orange County Register.

Larry Bennett was one of the few speakers who was not critical of government and police policies on homeless residents. He said complaining to council members

is unproductive and assisting nonprofit organizations is the best way to help fix the complex problem of homelessness.

“The reality is there just isn’t a simple solution,” Bennett said. “I think we’re looking in the wrong direction; we look to government and say you five up here (the city council) have to solve this problem; I’d turn around and say that we have to solve this problem.”

Political scientists discuss Constitution Constitution Day panel discusses privacy concerns and security KAILEY DEMARET Daily Titan

Yesterday at the Becker Amphitheater, two professors celebrated the date that the U.S. Constitution was signed with an examination of how national security affects privacy.

Max Dery, Ph.D., a Cal State Fullerton professor of political science and criminal justice, and James Coyle, Ph.D., director of Chapman University’s Center for Global Education, took turns discussing how the Constitution, is a “living document.”

The pair discussed the ways the document has been interpreted in different ways since the document was signed 226 years ago, especially within privacy and national security issues.

The Division of Politics, Administration and Justice and the Office of Government and Community Relations hosted the event called, “For the Government’s Eyes Only: Privacy and National Security Concerns.”

Two men took turns discussing what they called the balance between national security and privacy, or if there is such thing as one, then opened the discussion students and faculty.

Dery began his speech with a quote from Benjamin Franklin; “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” The quote set the stage for how the rest of the panel discussion would go.

The main topic discussed was how the government or the National Security Agency can interfere with citizen’s privacy if it pertains to a national security concern. One point that was made was how that there is no right to privacy written

in the Constitution.

One of the men said the U.S. Supreme Court takes away an individual’s freedom during wartime, which to the people around the amphitheater seemed to agree with. Also during the discussion it was said individuals losing freedom during wartime is becoming the new normal.

“Personally I learned a lot, I think one of the things that were brought up by one of the ques-

tions is that the government can and does have the right to collect a lot of information about where we are simply by us having phones,” Justin Tucker, Ph.D, a professor of political science, said.

Another topic that received a lot of attention was the Fourth Amendment, which grants Americans protection from being searched without a warrant or probable cause. The amendment has changed as technology

has evolved, which the presenters used as an example of how the Constitution is a living document.

“I always find Dery to be insightful and interesting to listen to I think especially when it comes to the Fourth Amendment,” Marc Nenes, a criminal justice major, said. “I was very curious to see what he would say and what his viewpoints would be as far as the government and technology goes.”

During the later parts of the event one of the men said that there is no limits on the NSA. “We’re in public and we can’t expect any level of privacy about where we are and if they want to use that technological tool of just tapping into our geo-location sensors on our phone that they can do that and that would be totally in their right to do that. I think that would freak a lot of our students out,” Tucker said.

Bennett said that his auto mechanic complained about homeless individuals loitering, having sex in public and using drugs and alcohol around his neighborhood.

“So the police started enforcing the laws,” he said.

“They said you can’t use drugs in public, you can’t drink in public and we will hook you up and we will arrest you.”

Speaker Scott Wilkins said that he was previously homeless for three years. He argued against both the language of the camping violations and Fullerton officers’ implementation of that policy.

“One thing I would like to ask is we take the word ‘camping’ out of whatever obnoxious citations are being handed out to people who are trying to live,” Wilkins said. “They’re not camping. They’re not cooking s’mores, putting franks at

the end of sticks, sitting by a campfire talking ghost stories.

They’re living, trying to survive.”

Wilkins said that arresting and fining homeless people will not solve the problem. “I’m not going to sit up here and yell at you guys,” he said. “But what I am asking is that you’re proactive instead of reactive.”

He continued by saying that cooperation between cities is necessary to help the entire community move toward solving the problem.

“People are homeless, period,” Wilkins said. “Pushing them out of the city is not going to get rid of them.”

Jesse La Tour, an English professor at Fullerton College, said the issue of homeless people can be a problematic one, but the city and its citizens should still show compassion for them.

“I actually acknowledge and agree with Larry Bennett earlier that the issue of homeless-

ness is complicated,” La Tour said. “However, I feel that there are certain things that we can do, and one of those is to stop criminalizing homelessness.”

When considering the water bill, council members said that they understood the need to improve water infrastructure, but raised concerns over the specifics of the payment and the additional amount of money that ratepayers would owe on their water bills.

“I’m struggling with the wording of the resolution,” Mayor Pro Tem Doug Chaffee said. “I do support the increase, but I want the resolution to be correct.”

During public comment, citizen Tony Package opposed the increases, skeptical that the rates would stabilize after the initial five years.

“We’re just getting this tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and it’s not going away,” Package said.

The council unanimously approved the plan that would

increase water rates starting in October.

The increase would be used to help fund the first five years of a 10-year Capital Improvement Project according to Dave Schickling, Water Supply Manager from the Fullerton Engineering Department.

Among the improvements would be a total planned investment of $18.9 million in water supply, storage and pumping, which would mean Fullerton would rely less on purchased water and would buy 6 percent less water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California according to the presentation. $64.2 million would go to improving water distribution mains resulting in less lost water and more reliable service with cost reductions in labor, material and liability. Schickling said it would also address the 80-100 water main leaks per year with over 50 percent of the breaks being significant.

DTBRIEFS Navy shooter had record SARA HIATT

Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis had a history of psychological issues and hallucinations that may explain a possible motive, CNN reported.

Five weeks before his Monday shooting rampage that left 12 people dead, Alexis told Rhode Island police that an individual he had an argument with sent three people to follow him.

A police report revealed that Alexis had told police that the three people were talking to him through walls and floors, even sending “vibrations” through his body with some sort of “microwave machine” to wake him up.

Alexis told police he had no family history of mental illness or any mental health issues himself.

Alexis was a military contractor for the Navy’s Ready Reserve, and according to CNN “had legitimate credentials to enter the base.” He was discharged in 2010 for misconduct and disciplinary issues.

Other run-ins include a 2004 incident when Alexis shot the tires of another man’s vehicle, in what he described as a “blackout.”

Professor studies history of tea Liberal studies professor hopes to soon publish book on history of tea MATTHEW MEDINA Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton professor of Liberal Studies April A. Bullock, Ph.D., discussed her research on tea as a drink and meal in “Tea Time: A History,” on Tuesday morning at the Ruby Gerontology Center.

She traces the popular history of tea in England to the late 17th century, when King Charles II took the throne along with his Portuguese wife, Catherine of Braganza.

“People often credit Catherine of Braganza with making it fashionable to drink tea in England,” Bullock said.

Because tea was initially expensive and difficult for English residents to acquire, usually through trade with China, it was initially a luxury item, Bullock said.

As a result, a significant amount of tradition rose around that concept, especially for wealthier individuals who were the first to make a mealtime centered around tea.

English traditions with tea did not completely reach the United States, but many individuals still enjoyed it. Bullock pointed to George and Martha Washington as examples of colonial Americans who enjoyed tea.

Bullock said the idea of tea time as an evening meal, sometimes called “high tea,” expanded to English workingclass households in the 1840s.

Taking a break from work for afternoon tea was popular among the middle and upper class in England. That eventually spread to the United States.

“You can’t drive a mile without running into a tea house in the 1920s in America,” she said.

Afternoon tea declined in the 20th century. “If you watch even old British sitcoms from the 1970s, 1960s, there’s a tea

lady who comes around in the afternoon and brings people tea, and cakes or cookies, in the afternoon as part of their break,” Bullock said.

“You can’t drive a mile without running into a tea house in the 1920s in America” April A. Bullock

Liberal Studies Professor, Ph.D.

Shortly afterward, such customs fell out of favor. “I haven’t entirely worked out why, but I think at least a big part of that has to do with changing workplace patterns,” she said.

However, drinking tea is still popular in England, and refer-

ring to an evening meal as “tea” is still common throughout the United Kingdom.

Bullock explained the connection between history and England’s demand for tea.

“They helped the Chinese to develop opium, and that ends up badly for all involved,” she said.

That need for tea was a contributing factor for Britain to colonize India. “The British steal a bunch of tea from China and take it to India, and actually they found native tea in India,” Bullock said.

Although children today frequently hold “tea parties” without any food or drinks as a practice of imagination, Bullock said that people sometimes held tea parties for their children, and even catering services existed to fill that niche.

“Food figures very prominently in children’s tea parties, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries,” Bullock said. “You stuff them with cake, and you stuff them with bread and butter, and you give them another

round of cake before they go home to make sure that they’re happy.”

Attendee Rebecca Stewart was surprised at the concept of having tea parties for very young children; she thought that tea parties for children were mostly a make-believe activity for them to express their imagination.

“It kinda sounds silly, but as a mother, I wouldn’t serve hot beverages to little ones,” Stewart said. “I’ve never known anybody to have a real hotwater tea party amongst children here; not in all my life.”

Stewart’s husband, Abe Weisbrot, shared her surprise.

“Maybe the affluent could afford to have folks there to make sure the kids didn’t hurt themselves, but it still seems sort of different from what you would expect,” he said.

Bullock hopes to publish the entirety of her findings in a book, also tentatively named Tea Time: A History, in a few years.

Review site expands to TV MIA MCCORMICK Movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, will be broadening its critical horizons as it adds television shows to its rating repertoire, according to Variety.

Beginning yesterday, the site will launch its first major expansion since 1998. The new addition to Rotten Tomatoes will be called “TV Zone” including a “Tomatometer,” which will collect the reviews of the entire season of a particular television show.

Shows that are considered good will receive a “fresh” rating, denoted by a red tomato, whereas shows considered to be bad, or “rotten” will be indicated by a “splattered green tomato.”

TV Zone will not include reality shows in their rating scope, but popular long-standing shows will be assessed from the beginning of the series to come up with their rating.

Reviews will be based on the first reviews for each season of the show, to avoid skewed data caused by changes throughout a series.

Tweets attacking Miss America undeserving of media publicity The internet erupted after Indian-American Nina Davuluri was crowned NEREIDA MORENO Daily Titan

As Nina Davuluri was crowned winner of the 2014 Miss America pageant Sunday, Twitter exploded with hateful tweets calling the reigning Miss New York a terrorist.

Despite becoming the first Indian-American Miss America in the pageant’s history, Davuluri’s name has become the focus of water-cooler discussions in the media about Twitter and the racist insults that were intent on ruining her big win.

News outlets across the nation have wrongfully publicized the social media attackers, fulfilling their intent of spreading criticism to the public.

They are perpetuating hateful and racist attitudes by highlighting them in America’s most trusted news sources while simultaneously taking the spotlight away from the pageant’s historic milestone.

Several users accused the 24-year-old Syracuse native of having ties with al-Qaida while others simply referred to her as “Miss 9-11.”

Many denounced Davuluri as Arab or Muslim –– and somehow not American.

Despite the widespread internet criticism, Davuluri seemed unphased and graciously dismissed the racist comments in

a post-pageant press conference.

“I have to rise above that,” she said. “I always viewed myself as first and foremost American.”

Davuluri is the first contestant of Indian heritage to win the Miss America title in the pageant’s 87-year history.

She performed a fusion Bollywood dance number for the talent portion of the competition.

It is common practice in this burgeoning technological era for people to live-tweet throughout events such as the Miss America pageant, while using hashtags to create conversations and share ideas around the world.

The creation of said hashtags has created a forum for such comments, and keeps them neatly tucked away in the socalled “twitterverse.”

This allows social media enthusiasts immediate power to express their precious thoughts and opinions–within the 140-character limit of course–freely, no matter how ridiculous, uninformed or offensive they may be.

Racist comments on news stories are moderated and deleted, but if people say something racist on Twitter, major news outlets zero in and write a story about it, blowing it out of proportion.

Online news services such as Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post are legitimizing these hateful comments by publishing the tweets and calling it journalism.

News outlets should instead confine these outlandish and hateful remarks to the sacred twitterverse instead of shoving

them in newsstands and onto legitimate news websites.

They’re giving social media users a platform to display their psychobabble, without any real consequence.

Don’t get me wrong–as a college journalist, there is nothing more important than free speech.

Everyone should have the ability to rant their little hearts out on social media sites like

Twitter and Facebook freely.

These rants however, should be kept out of major news reports.

Its a dangerous time for American journalism–the technology shift has forced major news outlets into a 24hour news cycle.

Proposal to raise debt ceiling flawed The government is hoping to ease pressure on the national debt with new idea

LEARNING THEORY HAS ITS PURPOSE.

How much strain can journalistic integrity take?

Major news organizations need to remember that credibility is all that separates them from the thousands of fussy bloggers that consume the internet.

If the media stops sensationalizing stories like this, all of those people mindlessly tweeting behind the safety of their screen names would fade out

Daily Titan

The United States has been in a never-ending financial crisis in recent years and it will take drastic measures for the government to be on its way to fixing it.

The government has suggested raising the debt ceiling in order to give the United States a little breathing room when dealing with their financial troubles.

However, it is taking a step in the wrong direction towards digging themselves out of this hole.

An NBC News poll found that 44 percent of Americans oppose raising the debt ceiling while 22 percent of Americans support raising it.

The fact that the amount of Americans who oppose raising the debt ceiling doubles the amount who support it is encouraging to hear.

However, there is still 34 percent who didn’t choose a side on this issue.

That alarming statistic shows how complicated this issue really is.

It proves that whatever course of action President Barack Obama and Congress decide to take won’t be pretty.

Despite the ugliness that is likely to follow, a side has to be taken by the U.S. government.

The national debt currently stands at 16.7 trillion dollars because of past mistakes done by the government including the Iraq War, Bush’s bailout of

the banks, Obama’s stimulus package and Obamacare which will go into effect in 2014.

A significant contribution to the national debt that may soon be added is the proposed strike on Syria.

One of the last things the country can afford is more military spending when it is in the heart of the issue.

The Iraq War put a huge dent in the economy and although the cost has been disputed, it was close to a trillion if not more.

A military strike on Syria would likely cost the United States a similar rate to that of the Iraq War. By raising the debt ceiling, the government would send a message that it plans to keep spending more money.

Instead of giving themselves more room for error than they deserve, the government should start holding themselves more accountable for their mistakes.

They have already been given plenty of room for error, and it needs to stop.

Congressmen need to avoid approving f lawed ideas if the economy is ever to strive again.

This has greatly impacted bills that have negatively affected our economy including as the Small Business Jobs Act in 2010.

According to a poll conducted by Gallup, only 19 percent of the country approves of the job Congress is doing.

Although 19 percent may seem like a harsh number, this is actually five percent higher than Gallup’s poll from last month. Congress’ approval rating is also at its highest level since October 2012.

Although the number has slowly risen, Congress’ approval rating is still nothing to be proud of.

The U.S. seems to collectively agree that the government should pay the consequences for their actions.

Americans are held responsible for debt if they’re not paying their dues on their credit cards and getting out of debt.

The government should stop spending and hold it off until they decrease the debt.

If the government doesn’t default the debt, they will have no incentive to work toward decreasing it.

Their lack of responsibility will continue to be detrimental to our economy if they don’t change their spending habits.

The government needs to take a big step and start controlling their budget more wisely by not spending money they do not have.

Not raising the debt ceiling is a great way to start on this, as it will motivate the government to cut down on spending.

They haven’t made enough effort to solve this problem as the recession has hit the U.S. Although defaulting the national debt will not save the economy in the foreseeable future, it will save the United States from a worst case scenario, which would likely involve even more debt.

Raising the ceiling will give Americans false hope about the state of the economy. The government would just be pushing the problem aside instead of tackling it head on.

Defaulting the debt could actually turn out to be a great long-term solution for the country if executed properly.

Bringing cronuts to Fullerton ETHAN HAWKES Daily Titan

Cafe 109 is an experiment.

Located off North Harbor Boulevard in downtown Fullerton, the small cafe revels in testing out new ideas.

Inside, the cafe gives off a homely modern vibe. But menu options are anything but familiar.

The nonprofit eatery was founded by Scott Moffett, a history professor at Biola University.

Cafe 109’s main attraction are the cronuts, which can be found abundantly in the Los Angeles area. Oddly enough, this donut/croissant hybrid pastry is actually called a doissant, because according to the kind cashier “we can’t actually call them cronuts.”

A strange reason to change the name, but upon biting into the pastry, it’s easy to see why this new pastry has been all the rage.

The doissant has the heft and shape of a donut, but the texture of a croissant. Found

on top of the doissant is a heavy coat of sugar and a topping that complimented the filling inside of the pastry.

Out of the three that were available, the caramel apple doissant was my favorite.

Topped with caramel and filled with apple-y filling. This dessert felt like biting into a fancier and more texturally pleasing apple fritter.

The custard doissant was a bit more lackluster. Although it had nothing but sugar on top, I appreciated the light and flakey crust along with the delicious custard.

The only disappointment was the doissant of the Nutella and banana variety turned out to be a little too heavy to enjoy fully, despite the heavenly hazelnut spread.

As I dug around the web, I noticed there’s actually a wider variety of doissants available at Cafe 109. Many that are much more elaborate than the ones I had an option to experience.

Apparently, they sell out quite quickly, so get there early if you want to try one.

Another popular item is the caramel bacon bar, which was already sold out on my visit.

This pastry brings savory and sweet together in one glorious treat.

As good as the doissants were, at $4.50 a pop it’s hard to imagine stopping by and grabbing one of these treats often. The cashier told me that sometimes they sell day-old doissants at a discounted price, but with limited availability, it seems hard to acquire one of these at a lower price.

To balance out the grease of fried food, I also ordered a side of the Asian Marinated Chicken Salad. As fancy as it looked, its taste was very mild.

Built upon fried chips, similar to wontons, the salad boasted a savory flavor with sweet oranges for balance. Although it was not the best salad I’ve experienced, it was satisfying enough

THE DAILY TITAN BRICKLEBERRY

The two have played various roles on HBO’s cult sketch comedy show Mr. Show with Bob and David (1995-1998).

“You’re not really thinking four years down the road,” Kenny said.

What is most shocking was Kenny’s decision to go from a children’s TV show to a TVMA comedy.

“I don’t say ‘no’ to anything,” Kenny said. “I got kids and a house and shit.”

Minor, whose television credits include starring in the 2007 ABC comedy Carpoolers and recurring roles on Community and Eastbound & Down, is less experienced in voice acting than Kenny.

While he jokes that doing the voice for a black character on the show isn’t a big of stretch, he does enjoy the opportunity to act and improvise without having to worry about small things like having to go into makeup.

Kenny’s favorite part of the new season is the second episode when we learn about his character’s pornstar past.

Woody enters the world of pornography and eventually makes it to the Oscars of pornography.

The best part for Kenny is the fact that the Oscar statuette awards are holding something other than swords (Hint: It’s a penis) He called the fact that they

showed it on television “a victory for fourth graders everywhere.”

From inappropriate statuettes to a quadruple amputee getting blown up by dynamite, Brickleberry pushes the envelope. Even for veteran actors like Minor, getting passed the Standards and Practice department can be tricky.

“I don’t say ‘no’ to anything. I got kids and a house and shit.”

“I’m constantly surprised on the stuff they allow on the air,” Minor said.

Minor’s favorite part of the new season is when Denzel gets the chance to sleep with a 400,000-year-old female Neanderthal who had just been thawed out of ice.

In Season 2 Denzel still continues his lazy habits and chasing down old ladies, Minor said.

While Minor looks forward to the show going into his character’s history, he definitely doesn’t want his character to mature.

Brickleberry airs on Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. PST on Comedy Central.

Though featuring “cafe” in its name, the Cafe 109 straddles the line between coffee lounge and restaurant. A decor made up of red brick walls, a craft soda collection of 40 plus and a modest selection of board games in the corner, it felt similar to a rich, lofty Brooklyn bachelor pad.

Glancing upon the rest of the menu, Cafe 109 features sandwiches on exotic breads and other kinds of salads. Of course, the cafe has coffee, which I hear is wonderful, but as a non-coffee drinking I differ readers to yelp for other, hopefully more qualified reviews.

It’s a strange experiment that fits in perfectly to the plethora of other eateries located in downtown Fullerton. Hopefully its innovations will win over the public and Cafe 109 will find success among college kids who find themselves in their experimenting stage.

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s … a human flying competition.

This year marks the first time Red Bull Flugtag will be a national event. There will be five Red Bull Flugtag events on Sept. 21 in cities including Chicago, Washington D.C., Miami, Dallas and Long Beach.

The event features 32 teams from all over the country.

Each team will run off of a 30foot ramp with their self constructed gliders and attempt to f ly before falling into Long Beach’s Rainbow Harbor.

Three of the teams participating will be representing

Orange County.

Anchorman: The Legend of the Mustache, one of the local Orange County teams, is made up of high school and college friends from Fullerton, Anaheim Hills and Norco.

Their glider, skit and clothing are inspired by Ron Burgundy’s mustache from Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy.

The other two teams representing Orange County are Oakley Factory Pilots from Foothills Ranch and Zombie Air from Rancho Santa Margarita.

The Red Bull Flugtag event gained a following since its inception in 2002.

Since the inaugural f light in San Francisco, the falling of participants has become popular fodder for YouTube videos.

Each team’s glider is selfconstructed, have a maximum

wingspan of 28 feet and a weight of 400 pounds, which includes the pilot.

In the past, teams have been creative with their f lying vehicles, including piñatas, a 7/11 Big Gulp, a zombie and a birthday cake.

The top three teams will be awarded prizes including skydiving, VIP access to a Red Bull titled sporting event and a Red Bull titled music, dance or art event.

The celebrity judges will award the prizes based on distance, showmanship and creativity.

A fourth winner will be crowned with the People’s Choice Award.

The event is expecting over 110,000 attendees and is free for spectators. For more information about the annual event, visit their website RedBullFlugtagUsa.com.

THE DAILY TITAN JEWELRY

Continued from PAGE 1

He is a featured artist for Orange County’s RAW, an independent organization that highlights creative talents.

For Habecker, 31, there’s worse that can happen on a normal work day.

A massive boulder can crush him, poison ivy could leave him with a burning rash or a wild animal could have him running for his life.

Habecker, better known as “Steve the Miner,” is making his way to a spot located in Trabuco Canyon, Calif. where he hopes to find a silver 350 bullet shell to complete a custom order for a customer.

It’s not what you think.

The bullet shell will actually be the supporting foundation to a black tourmaline gemstone that he dug up while on a mining trip in San Diego.

To put things into perspective, Habecker is a prospector. Think of the Gold Rush, except on a larger scale. Although today he’s specifically searching for “precious metal,” which to him, is a “short” 15-mile leisure hike into the mountains, most of his work days consist of levering 700 feet below ground level digging for various gemstones such as morganite, aquamarine and gold.

To put things into a bigger perspective, Habecker is also a jeweler.

After calling it a day “on the field” he heads back home where he will grind, shape and smooth out his findings and reconstruct them into a ring or pendant, depending on the stone’s “personality.”

The stones are trimmed, sculpted and polished on a lapidary machine specially designed for the art of cutting gems.

Habecker said that while there’s not a big mining community, there really isn’t anyone doing exactly what he does.

He takes a lavender kunzite that he already lapidated, which he found in the Chief Mountain in San Diego, stares at it long and hard, examining each special characteristic.

“This is the hardest part. I look at the stone, the color, the shapes, the natural striations or

edges,” he said. “It’s the stone’s personal style, I just dress it.”

He uses a pair of pliers to manipulate a sterling silver wire wrap around the stone.

And presto, a beautiful pendant is born.

And while wire wrapped gemstone jewelry have become a top selling art form, especially in the Etsy community, there’s nothing like seeing a product being made from start to finish.

“Crystal healers are just drawn to me,” Habecker said. “They like the fact that I’m the only person who touched the gemstone.”

Like most things, the end product is rewarding. But for the one-man show, its the actual process that makes everything worthwhile.

The job requires patience, heavy lifting, tugging, budging, hands-on apprenticeships and several study sessions, more than what a geology course can teach.

“Look for contact zones between igneous granite rock.

When you see those rocks that look like marble with wavy lines through them. That’s exactly what you want to find between two big chunks of granite,” Habecker said. “There’s going to be gold in there.”

Habecker opens a drawer’s worth of unsanded gemstones and takes out two miniaturesized clear capsules containing gold, which he found in the East Fork River in the San Gabriel Mountains.

And while gold is a rare find, other minerals such as tourmaline are abundant locally. Habecker said one uncut tourmaline is worth $2,000 a carat.

“And one carat is tiny. But I mean once you see gold … ” Habecker said. “You get gold fever.”

His eyes draw wide, but quickly dilate back to normal.

“The true value of gold is in the hunt,” he said. “If you’re out for the money you’re going to break your back and get upset all the time.”

Habecker will be presenting his craft at the RAW Orange County exhibition Oct. 20 at the Shark Club in Costa Mesa as part of the organization’s ongoing two and a half month competition.

He will be going up against 15,000 artists, ranging from fashion, film, photography and makeup, from all over the world.

Performers gear up for curtain call A community tradition returns to CSUF after a three-year absence ERICA MAHONEY

CSUF’s musical theater group, The Preeminents, pose during rehearsals for their performance this Saturday.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @DAILY_TITAN

Soprano, alto, tenor and baritone voices filled the air during rehearsals. After a brief meeting with the director, the room silenced as the voices took the stage.

The voices, collaboratively named The Preeminents, are a Cal State Fullerton student musical theater group. Since the Fall 2013 semester, the students have been practicing a number called “Encore.”

Along with choreography, the students are in the final stages of performing a long-awaited show—Concert Under the Stars.

After a three-year hiatus, Concert Under the Stars will make a comeback this weekend at the lawn north of the Titan Gym. The alumni performances are always the highlight of the show and inspiration to all current CSUF art students.

This year’s bill includes Kirsten Vangsness (Criminal Minds); Kate Peters, author and voice coach; Jennifer Hubilla, lead role in the musical Miss Saigon; Emily Mitchell, actress; Louis Pardo (Jesus Christ Superstar); Brad Standley, a triple-threat actor, singer and songwriter; Brooke Aston, actress and cabaret performer; Erin McNally, vocalist and actor; and Eve Himmelheber, CSUF theater

and dance professor. “(It is) very exciting to see working professionals who have graduated from the same program and see them off in New York, or in the real world; in the industry,” said Devon Hadsell of The Preeminents.

Concert Under the Stars began as a celebration for the university’s 25th anniversary in 1982, and became a tradition to bring the university and community together through song, dance and performing arts. This annual tradition ended in 2009.

“This has always been an event that has a fantastic outreach not just (to) the university community but really the community of Fullerton...”

Jim Taulli Associate Dean of the College of the Arts Jim Taulli, associate dean of the College of the Arts, has helped produce the concerts since 2002.

“This has always been an

event that has a fantastic outreach. Not just (to) the university community but really the community of Fullerton and the surrounding cities,” Taulli said.

Andrew Sattler, a CSUF senior in The Preeminents, said Concert Under the Stars was an annual event, but due to insufficient funds the university was unable to carry on the tradition.

Until now.

“The economy had fallen,” Taulli said. “It’s quite an expensive event to produce, (and) that perception would have been inappropriate.”

Although the attendees can watch the concert from the lawn area for free, reserved seating tickets are available as well.

Taulli said the lawn area allows for students and families to bring a blanket and chairs.

Although, lawn seating space is provided on a firstcome first served basis, students are encouraged to RSVP ahead of time.

The three forms of paid reserved seating include table sponsorships, reserved tables and individual table seats.

The reserved tables and individual table seats range from $50-$500.

Food trucks will also be available near the lawn for anyone wanting to grab a bite to eat.

Two large screens, which will show a close-up of the performance, will also ensure no one misses any of the action on stage.

Ice hockey team aims for regionals CSUF’s ice hockey team circle Long Beach on their calendar as biggest game ANDY LUNDIN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton men’s ice hockey team are preparing themselves for the start of the 2013-2014 season this week and are hoping that good chemistry and getting started on the right foot will make the team a more serious contender than they were the previous year.

Taylor Castle, 23, a forward who lead the team with 17 goals last season, said one of the main focuses of improvement this season is to eliminate the individualistic attitude that he felt the team had the previous year.

“We’re really focusing on being a more well-rounded team,” Castle said. “Last year we were a little shaky, we were kind of just running around looking for the big hit or to score the big goal.”

Castle finished second on the team in points with 28, only behind defenseman Payne Sauer, who finished with 29 points with 13 goals and 16 assists. The team had two others who also finished in double digits goals, forward Sean Saligumba (12) and forward Adam Brusig (11).

Last season the team finished last in the West Coast Hockey Conference with a 1-5-0 record, and 9-22-0 as a Division II team of the American Collegiate Hockey Association.

With the improvements Castle mentioned, he said the team hopes to make a “serious bid” for regionals this year.

In an effort to refine the team, Castle said preparations for this year started earlier than they did the previous season and, in an attempt towards making improvements in the team’s chemistry, that the Titans are currently trying to adjust to new lineups as well as acclimate new rookies.

“We’ve put together all new lines compared to last year and so we’ve been trying to roll those and for about the last like three to four weeks we’ve been practicing together and everybody’s starting to kind of learn each other and where everybody’s going to be and kind of how to play with everybody,” Castle said.

Head Coach Ronnie White

said that they’ll have to wait until the team hits the ice before they can determine how effective the new lineup changes are.

“We got a few new guys who look pretty good and you want to see what they look like during game time, it’s a lot different,” White said. “After the first couple of games, even during the games, sometimes you have to change up your lines.”

The Titans first string goaltender Brandon Heethuis won’t be starting in any of the upcoming games due to a knee laceration.

“He’s going through therapy.

He’s coming back slowly but surely. He’ll be back, hopefully … when we play Long Beach,” White said.

Heethuis finished last season with an 8-19 record and stopped 968 shots on 1095 attempts for a save percentage of 0.88.

Heethuis also posted the only shutout of the season.

The first game of the season will take place this Friday at Anaheim Ice when the Titans face off against the USC Trojan’s away from home. A team that the Titans faced twice last season, splitting victories between the two.

Castle said that there are a number of things that the Titans will take into consideration when they face off against USC for the first time in almost a year.

“We’re trying to take some things we saw against them last year, with how we can break out of our own zone and different forecheck styles we can use against them,” Castle said.

The Titans also hope to take advantage of the fatigue that USC might have that night considering USC will have already competed the previous night against Loyola Marymount University.

Castle said that the rivalry games will be some of their most anticipated for the season.

“Whenever we play Long Beach it’s always a pretty big game, there’s always a lot of emphasis on that one when we see it on the schedule,” Castle said.

“Every time we have a conference game those are always highlighted too … those are pretty big as well.”

The names of the 1995 national championship winning Cal State Fullerton baseball team are displayed on the Wall of Champions at Goodwin Field.

Historic ‘95 baseball team to be inducted The 1995 Titans’ record of 57-9 still stands as the best in Fullerton history IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

One of Cal State Fullerton’s proudest sports traditions is it’s baseball team. It has produced four College World Series titles in its storied history, including the 1995 team, which will be inducted into the CSUF Athletics Hall of Fame.

One of their most exciting seasons in school history came in 1995 when they won the College World Series. Even with the rich history of the program, the team was not expected to accomplish that feat when the season began.

Head Coach Augie Garrido even went as far as to label the 1995 season a rebuilding year for the Titans. Garrido was named National Coach of the Year for his leadership of the Titans and for taking the team to new heights. Garrido was inducted into the CSUF Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005 for his accomplishments.

On top of the 1995 championship, he had won national titles in 1979 and 1984 with the Titans.

He has been coaching for 45 years and is currently the head coach of the University of Texas, where he also won national titles in 2002 and 2005.

The 1995 Titans dominated the season with a 57-9 record overall and an 18-3 record against Big West opponents on their way to their 17th conference title.

This impressive regular season ended with a seven-game winning streak. This streak carried into the postseason as the Titans won their third national title by winning 11 games in a row.

This 18-game winning streak was capped off by a convincing victory over the USC Trojans, who also have a decorated history in college baseball with 11 College World Series titles.

The 1995 Titans achieved their greatest record to date with the help of their lengthy winning streak.

The 1995 CSUF baseball team has been widely considered to be the best college baseball teams ever as they were the first No. 1 seed to win a College World Series.

This historic performance by the 1995 Titans has earned them a spot in the CSUF Athletics Hall of Fame along with other exceptional Titan athletes.

Among the Titans who played for the 1995 championship team includes Mark Kotsay, who was named the Golden Spikes

Award winner and College World Series Most Outstanding Player.

Kotsay went on to enjoy a prolific major league career with various teams and has played since 1997. He has decided to retire from the majors with the San Diego Padres after this season is over.

Other prominent players from the 1995 Titan baseball team include pitcher Ted Silva, catcher Brian Loyd, outfielder Jeremy Giambi and third baseman Mike Lamb.

Silva was named to the AllAmerica First Team and also earned the Big West Pitcher of

the Year Award.

Loyd was named to the AllAmerica Third Team and the College World Series All-Tournament along with Silva.

Lamb didn’t receive any awards during the 1995 season, but he eventually went on to play in the major leagues for the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros. He hit the Astros’ first ever World Series home run in 2005.

Giambi went on to have a major league career as well and spent the majority of his career with the Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics.

The 1995 Titans had nine players drafted overall that year

with pitcher Jon Ward leading the way in the eighth round.

The team will receive recognition for their accomplishments and be inducted into the CSUF Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m.
