Latino summit addresses success gap

Library Starbucks has grand opening

Community leaders and officials open dialogue on Latino acheivement gap

Grand opening provided students with free coffee and pastries

Hidy Lopez, a 23-year-old Latina, dreams of becoming a doctor. However, growing up as a first-generation American, she faced backlash from some of her family members for her high hopes.

Lopez sat among a state senator and a school superintendent on the Policy Panel at the fifth annual Closing the Latino Achievement Gap Summit on Friday in the Titan Student Union.

Hundreds attended the summit, which aims to create a dialogue between legislators, students and school administrators to end the disparity of high school and college graduation rates that exists among Latinos in Orange County.

“We need mentors,” Lopez said. “You know somebody that has succeeded that is Latino or Latina. Take us to that person, take us to that family member that did achieve those goals so that we can be able to dream and be able to reach those goals.”

For the first time ever, local high school students attended the summit through GEAR UP, a Cal State Fullerton program which works with six area schools to prepare them for college.

Lopez’s student perspective resonated with the high schoolers, said Rachel Nankervis, a sociology and American studies major, who is a tutor with GEAR UP. GEAR UP operates through two grants from the department of education and maintains on-site tutors and college advisors at six schools in the Fullerton-Anaheim area.

Katella High School in Anaheim, one of the GEAR UP schools, had an 86 percent Hispanic or Latino population last year.

Just 27 percent of Latino high school graduates in Orange County complete the required coursework for UC and CSU eligibility, compared to 43 percent of general population graduates, according to the California Department of Education.

This achievement gap is created by a variety of factors, but four “seismic points” facing the Latino community were explained by the summit’s keynote speaker, Al Mijares, Ph.D., the superintendent of the Orange County Department of Education.

“In its simplest form, a question can be asked: Why do a disproportionate number of Latino students underachieve in all levels of the American classroom?” Mijares said.

Students and faculty celebrated the grand opening of the second Starbucks at Cal State Fullerton, located in the first floor of Pollak Library, with giveaways and a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday.

The $900,000 establishment, built by Dalke and Sons Constructions and MAG Construction was funded by the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation. The location includes an indoor and outdoor patio.

Director of Campus Dining Tony Lynch said none of the funding for the construction came from university funds.

The second location of Starbucks opened to the public on Aug. 26 after eight weeks of construction and over a year and a half of planning.

Starbucks fan and kinesiology major Faizan Mansuri felt this second location was much needed and there should be more Starbucks locations on campus.

CSUF talents shine at Concert Under the Stars MIA MCCORMICK Daily Titan

The Fullerton community experienced a night of music, comedy and performing arts at Saturday night’s Concert Under the Stars. After a four-year hiatus, the event brought back a CSUF annual tradition that showcases faculty, staff, students and alumni talents.

The performers were accompanied by a live band led by music director and theatre and dance professor, Mitch Hanlon.

The event, which CSUF President Mildred García called “The Hollywood Bowl of Fullerton,” was an elaborate production, complete with a fully-lit set dressed up with stars to complement the event’s name.

The night drew in crowds with a carnival-like atmosphere. Before the start of the show, attendees were able to visit the various food trucks and exhibit booths, including a photo booth and tents sponsored by companies such as Toyota and Wells Fargo Bank.

The concert titled “I Believe in Music” began at 8 p.m. with Miss Fullerton 2013 and CSUF theatre major, Salisha Thomas, singing the national anthem to open the show.

Boasting a colorful variety of acts, the show’s program featured performers with television, national touring and Broadway credits.

Among the list of performers, alumna Kirsten Vangsness delivered a crowd pleasing comedy act. Vangsness, who graduated from CSUF in 1996 with a degree in theatre arts, now plays technical analyst Penelope Garcia on the CBS show Criminal Minds.

In her diary entry-style monologue,

Vangsness mocked her own degree while playing an insecure actress who had just delivered what she believed was the worst audition of her life.

“I got a degree in playing pretend,” Vangsness said during her performance.

Also taking to the stage was the university’s performing group The Preeminents, made up of CSUF theatre and dance seniors, who performed multiple times throughout the program.

The group sang and danced perfectly choreographed renditions of classic popular songs such as John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Barry Manilow’s “Bandstand Boogie.”

“This show was actually choreographed specifically for our class for this event and other events to raise money and fundraise for the school,” said Devon Hadsell, 22, a member of The Preeminents and musical theatre major.

Stephanie Inglese, 21, a member of The Preeminents and a musical theatre major, said the most memorable moments of the show was when everyone

President Mildred García and ASC CEO Frank Mumford cut the ribbon at the new Starbucks location on Thursday.

“Coming downstairs and staying in the same building instead of having to leave the building, I feel is more beneficial to me or probably generally to a lot of students,” Mansuri said.

Starbucks commemorated the opening by offering 50 percent off drinks, raffling off gift cards and giving complimentary pastries and coffee.

stood up at the end, cheering them on.

“I’ve never performed for this amount of people,” Inglese said. “It just kind of sunk in at that moment and my eyes kind of started to water with excitement.”

García also appeared on stage at the beginning of the show to welcome the attendees, giving recognition to sponsors, students and Fullerton residents for their support.

She described the concert as “spectacular,” “amazing” and “fabulous.”

“We had a wonderful evening seeing the talent of our faculty and staff and our students,” García said.

These talents included CSUF alumnus Louis Pardo, who entertained the audience with a hand puppet-accompanied rendition of “Purpose” from the Broadway musical Avenue Q. Pardo performed a second time with a comical Spanish number called Three Caballeros.

The Honda Center thundered with screams as Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump (vocals), Pete Wentz (bass), Joe Trohman (guitar) and Andy Hurley (drums) took the stage wearing black ski masks.

“Put on your war paint!”

Stump sang as the music video for “The Phoenix” played behind them.

Wentz waved a large white flag with the band’s logo, a crown sitting above the acronym ‘FOB,’ as the crowd chanted along, “The war is won before it’s begun. Release the doves, surrender love!

Wave the white flag!”

Fall Out Boy’s sold-out show Sept. 20 in Anaheim included supporting acts with Twenty One Pilots and Panic! at the Disco.

The band has been touring almost nonstop and made several TV appearances since their return from a hiatus that lasted over three years.

lier this year through her best friend. “(She) posted it to Facebook, and we kind of cried over the internet together,” Beall said.

Fall Out Boy’s return took many by surprise.

The band recorded their latest album, Save Rock and Roll, secretly and denied any rumors of a reunion.

When the band officially announced a reunion in February, the four-piece already had a string of intimate club shows, a national tour, a release date for their new album and a completed music video for “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up).”

“I get really nostalgic when I listen to them, to be honest. They remind me a lot of like … the younger, older days,” Stephanie Nerheim, 19, said.

Fall Out Boy has come a long way since their first mini-LP Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, which was released in 2003.

Over the years the band has transitioned from a pop-punk sound to a much more developed and eclectic sound shown in Save Rock and Roll.

Songs such as “Death Valley” incorporate dubstep elements and “The Mighty Fall” features rap artist Big Sean.

Established artists such as Courtney Love, Elton John and Foxes have also lent their vocals to the album.

During the concert, Fall Out Boy played fan favorite songs such as “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s An Arms Race” from their 2007 album Infinity on High.

Mihaylo College hosts SEC Financial Reporting Conference in Irvine Former Securities and Exchange commission chairman delivered keynote PATTON TRAN Daily Titan

Financial regulators from three major economic oversight groups met Friday in Irvine for the 12th annual Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Conference hosted by Cal State Fullerton.

The conference was established to share comprehensive updates from financial regulators from SEC, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and Financial Accounting Standards Board.

The theme this year was

trends to be seen in 2014 and techniques for financial governing and reporting.

Speakers updated the attendees with news from SEC and PCAOB. This year, Anil K. Puri, Ph.D., dean of Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, kicked off the event by thanking the welcomed attendees and sponsors, then introduced the keynote speaker.

Keynote speaker Christopher Cox formerly served as chairman of the SEC under President George W. Bush. Cox also served in Congress for 17 years as a California representative.

Cox addressed the development of internationalization securities regulation and mu-

FOR THE RECORD Council vote: In the Sept. 18 issue, the vote to raise water rates in the story titled “Advocates for homeless urge council” was incorrect.

The vote was described as unanimous, when in fact it was 3-2 with Mayor Bruce Whitaker and Councilmember Greg Sebourn voting against the adjustment.

nicipal finance.

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which are intended to make business affairs consistent internationally, have been up for debate for some time.

Cox explained that the SEC has been trying to push Congress to respond to competing international standards, but because of the financial crisis it has been on hold.

“It’s going to take hard work and determined leadership,” Cox said. The industry is studying IFRS to improve generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

This will lead to a hybrid in the near future and full convergence later down the road.

SEC is working toward integration with other countries.

“Five years ago as chairman I signed an agreement between the United States and Australia for mutual recognition,” Cox said.

It was the first of its kind.

This gave stock exchanges, brokers and dealers the ability to work in both countries without the need for separate regulations, giving them exemptions when working in the U.S. and vice versa.

“Even in England they let you drive a car, because you have a California driver’s license,” Cox said.

After the 2008 financial crisis, the mutual recognition was put on hold. The SEC did not grant the exemptions even when the Australian parliament adopted some of its laws to U.S. standards.

SEC is still working on new ways to build a cross border regulatory infrastructure, allowing inventors to comply with their respective countries’ rules as long as they are close to U.S. regulations.

Some of the attendees had less optimism about the convergence. “It becomes a matter

of priorities,” said Rob Schlener of Singer Lewak Accountants & Consultants. “It got some exposure, and now it’s percolating and it will become relevant again.”

“It’s a little like the metric system in the U.S., it never quite got here,” he said. Schlener said he does not believe that he will see full convergence in his professional career.

When asked about the future of full convergence, some attendees were more positive about reaching that standard someday.

“Convergence was going on for a while,” said Bala Iyer of QLogic. “It felt like things died for a bit.”

However, he still commends policy makers for their intent to push for full convergence.

Iyer identifies that there have been obstacles stopping an unified standard but is hopeful that convergence will get back on track.

The Office of the Chief Accountant, led by Paul Beswick, is responsible for rulemaking, interpretive guidance and reports.

The plan for 2013 includes oversight of important convergence projects, rulemaking under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and assessment of the Financial Reporting and Audit Task Force.

The 2010 Commission Statement is to create a work plan to highlight issues with implementing IFRS. They reported that “looking directly to the International Accounting Standards Board is challenging.”

The potential benefits of implementing an endorsement mechanism to assist with the adoption of IFRS include maintaining U.S. inf luence on standard setting, less pressure on conversion and preserving the DNA of U.S. GAAP.

To take advantage of the 50 percent off deal, students were able to log on their phones and display the coupon found on the Auxiliary Services Corporation’s (ASC) Facebook page to the employees.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at 2 p.m with President Mildred García along with Frank A. Mumford, CEO of ASC, presiding.

“It’s a way of bringing people together and that’s what Starbucks has done for us and we’re excited that they’re here,” García said.

DTBRIEFS Terrorists kill 39 in Kenya ROBERT REYES Two squads of masked combatants brandishing assault rifles and hurling grenades rushed a Kenyan mall on Saturday killing at least 39 people, according to the New York Times.

The attack, which has been linked to Somalia-based terrorist group the Shabab, also injured more than 150 people including four Americans.

The assault began around 11 a.m. as shooters simultaneously entered through different levels of the mall in Nairobi.

Despite Kenyan forces securing the mall’s upper floors, the gunmen still had an unspecified number of hostages on Sunday.

The Shabab claimed that the attack was in retaliation to Kenya’s recent military presence in Somalia.

The terrorist organization’s Twitter account claimed there would be no hostage negotiations.

Last year, the Shabab formed an alliance with al-Qaida, who had previously claimed responsibility for two 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in East Africa that left more than 200 dead.

Violent events kill 10 in L.A. SARA HIATT

A string of violent events killed 10 and wounded at least 10 in Los Angeles County over the weekend, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The events stretched from Long Beach to Palmdale. All victims were either shot or stabbed to death.

The mayhem began Friday night when four were shot, two fatally, at a party in Long Beach.

Two Inglewood residents were killed in drive-by shootings on Saturday.

A man was stabbed to death in downtown Los Angeles during an argument, which police say may have been gang related.

Three were shot to death in Compton.

A valet was shot and killed in Pico Rivera at a nightclub Sunday morning, five suspects have been taken into custody.

Sgt. Rich Pena of the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department, had no explanation for the spat of violence, but cited the end of summer as a possible factor.

The 65th Emmy Awards were broadcasted on CBS from the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, Sunday night, according to the Los Angeles Times. Neil Patrick Harris returned as host, but fell short of the standard set by his first experience hosting television’s biggest night.

The telecast was filled with somber moments, paying tribute to TV celebrities who have died in the past year.

Michael J. Fox remembered Gary David Goldberg, the creator of Family Ties.

“He changed my life,” Fox said. “He was my mentor, benefactor, second father …”

Glee’s Cory Monteith, who died of a drug overdose earlier this year, was also remembered by co-star Jane Lynch in a “quiet tribute.”

On a lighter note, Gail Mancuso of ABC’s Modern Family won for director of a comedy series, only the second time a woman has taken home the Emmy for this category.

Destino Universidad promotes parental involvement in college Outreach program focuses on the importance of higher education ANDRES MARTINEZ Daily Titan

This Saturday, about 250 students and parents learned the importance of higher education at Destino Universidad, a college outreach program hosted by Cal State Fullerton.

The event was focused on helping students and parents believe that college can be a possibility for them by providing families with resources and inspiration to go off and plan out their path to higher education, said Delia Tijerina, assistant director for University Outreach/Veterans Certification.

Topics from the event included how to prepare for college admissions, getting involved on campus, financial aid information and how college leads to a better work life.

The event was conducted in English and Spanish, and

Seismic points, Mijares explained, are the issues which may provide an answer to correcting the achievement gap.

• Expectations • Linguistic and language challenges • Cultural characteristics • Political will Addressing the issue of expectations is a matter of rigorous coursework, Mijares said.

As vice president of the Western Region of the College Board, he went to five poorly-performing public schools in Denver, Colo., where 60 percent of students were Latino, with the intention of raising the rigor of coursework.

“Sometimes, expectations are lowered,” Mijares said. “So consequently, we must be very intentional. Those standards must be high. There must be a purposeful, deliberate effort to set the bar high, and it’s going to require moral courage.”

President Barack Obama praised Bruce Randolph School, one of the Denver schools, in his 2011 State of the Union Address.

The year before, 97 percent of students received a diploma.

That year, 91 percent of Bruce Randolph School students were Latino, and 87 percent of graduates went on to college.

Linguistic and language challenges may be the toughest issue to overcome, said Mijares.

The issues do not arise simply from an inability to speak English, but include the negative issues faced when speaking Spanish.

He cited an anti-bilingual movement that has been pervasive for many years, but now seems to be lessening.

Bilingual and bicultural teachers can help to combat the stigma sometimes associated with Spanish, he explained.

The cultural characteristics of Latinos can also pose a problem for some Latino students living in the U.S., said Mijares.

Bicultural challenges require schools to work with parents to teach them the skills needed to help their children through a school system they are unfamiliar with.

He talked of his experience with Latino parents not subscribing to the notion that hard work and high aspirations can lead their children to college and onto successful careers.

That issue is something that

consisted of a panel of professionals and CSUF students and alumni.

Rosa Elena Sahagun, an immigration attorney and CNN panelist, was the keynote speaker.

She shared her struggles to earn her college degree and her story as a young Latina mother.

Sahagun said she wants to make sure that students realize that they must withstand difficulties in order to move forward, finish their education and get a degree.

She said that parents need to be more proactive in seeking information about the process of getting their children ready for college and use the resources available.

Sahagun emphasized the importance of parents properly prioritizing work and events that are important for their children. Although work may sometimes conf lict, choosing to be at the events that will make a big difference for their student is important, she said.

“I think that parents don’t realize how their decision to Hidy Lopez said she feels can be helped by programs which educate parents on what the university is doing for students, such as Destino Universidad, the college outreach program which was held on Saturday.

“Instead of being left out of the process, they are actually included,” she said. “They can increase their education, increase how they succeed, how they grow, and how they can be able to impact Latinos in the future as they continue to educate themselves.”

The last seismic point is the political will needed to put education reforms into place.

“When the right doesn’t like the left, and we just can’t come together to do what is in the best interests for our students, we lack the political will,” Mijares said. “That requires courage for you to get up and to challenge the system.”

Of all Latino undergraduate students in Orange County, more than 75 percent are currently attending community colleges.

Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton), one of the event’s honorary cochairs, sits on the higher-education committee in the California Assembly.

Last week, she held a roundtable with higher education presidents. One of their big concerns is the transfer of students from community colleges to universities.

In 2012, more Latinos transferred from Fullerton College to CSUF than from any other community college in Orange County.

Fullerton College, which has a Latino population of 48 percent, has increased the Latino graduation rate by 240 percent in the past three years, said Rajen Vurdien, Ph.D., president of Fullerton College.

Associate for transfer degrees implemented in 2010 have been successful in streamlining course matriculation, Vurdien said.

Fullerton College currently has 18 transfer degrees available, and has submitted applications for five more.

However, Cal State Fullerton turned away almost 8,000 CSU eligible transfer students last year due to state underfunding.

As a result, many students have had to attend universities farther away from families, such as San Diego State University.

Next year’s “Closing the Latino Achievement Gap Summit” will be held at Fullerton College.

become involved really impact that students willingness to move forward with their education,” Sahagun said.

To Yesenia Navarro, 39, mother of a 12 and 14-yearold, higher education is very important.

Navarro is a first-generation American who was able to receive higher education. She stresses the importance to her family to pursue their dreams and reach the profession they desire.

As someone who is f luent in English and Spanish, she liked that all the information was presented in both languages.

“I am fortunate that I do speak both languages but there are some parents who don’t speak the English language and for them to have access to the material and the information in their primary language is very beneficial,” Navarro said.

Navarro said she advises parents to always ask questions regarding their children’s education.

Tijerina said she hopes parents feel inspired and know that getting their children through college is worth the sacrifice.

“I hope that today parents

walk away with that hope, with momentum, with excitement, to go off and start that journey and really understand that getting to college is a journey, it’s a path, Tijerina said.

“Every once in awhile in that journey you have to stop and get gas, you got to refill, you have to connect with people, and make sure you are on the right path. But absolutely, I hope that they walk away with a good sense of what that journey looks like and that they feel inspired and are hopeful for their future,” said Tijerina.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2013 MONDAY

New host’s stances won’t affect ratings Ex-Playboy bunny joins The View and brings her past controversy with her NICOLE WEAVER Daily Titan

Known for her raunchy sense of humor and Playboy model style, Jennifer McCarthy rose to fame in the ‘90s co-hosting the hit MTV show, Singled Out. When her young son Evan was diagnosed with autism shortly after receiving the MMR shot (immunization for measles, mumps and rubella), she used her previously attained fame to advance her crusade; informing as many people as she could about what she perceived as the dangers of childhood vaccinations.

Now that she is replacing Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View, McCarthy has a new national venue to spew her antivaccine agenda.

The View is known for spirited conversations about hotly debated issues, such as the vaccine controversy. It is unlikely the subject will come up every day, but the fact that McCarthy is being given an opportunity to speak nationally about her opinions daily has worried her critics, according to the Los Angeles Times.

McCarthy has been speaking out about her opposition to childhood vaccines since her son was diagnosed with it, despite scientific evidence that vaccines are not directly linked to autism.

However, until scientists can

prove exactly what causes autism, it’s hard to definitively disprove anything.

The announcement that McCarthy was hired on The View generated quite a bit of backlash due to her assertive stance on vaccinations.

Many people see her as a public threat or a homicidal maniac, indirectly causing the deaths of countless children.

There’s a website called “The Anti-Vaccine Body Count,” originally titled “The Jenny McCarthy Body Count.”

The website charts the number of deaths due to preventable disease since 2007, when McCarthy first began to speak out on the subject, according to the Los Angeles Times.

However, if scientists cannot prove what causes autism, parents will naturally worry and take proper precautions as they see fit.

McCarthy is not responsible for the deaths of children.

Anyone can search Google and find a million articles talking about the dangers of vaccinations.

The articles can just as easily persuade impressionable mothers against vaccinating their children.

What McCarthy says is not gospel and viewers should not take it as such.

And who is to say that McCarthy will even mention autism or vaccines?

Supposedly, her son is now cured of autism due to a glutenfree diet and therapy.

Many speculate whether or not he had autism at all.

Additionally, people say her opinions of vaccinations have changed since her son has recovered. And her opinions have been known to f luctuate in the past.

First, she believed it was vaccines in general that were dangerous, and then it was the number of vaccines, and now she may have completely reversed her stance.

If she does bring up her infamously extreme views, viewers and co-hosts will notice that McCarthy is pushing a one-sided argument.

The women on The View are known for having strong opinions and are extremely critical to ideas that have not fully been thought out.

Having McCarthy on The View, arguing with Barbara Walters, could expose her outdated views to an audience that may need to hear it most.

Considering that the audience who watches The View are predominantly female, (many of those being mothers themselves or are pregnant), it could be a great thing to shed some light on the dangers of McCarthy’s rigid viewpoints, and to show the audience a broad spectrum of viewpoints.

Ultimately, having McCarthy on The View will most likely end up not being a bad thing.

It may even increase ratings, which would be great for Barbara Walters.

But at this point in the autism controversy, it’s unlikely her notoriously staunch opposition will contribute much to the issue.

Courtesy of MCT McCarthy’s viewpoints should provide viewers with opposing stances on many of today’s controversial issues.

Politicians private lives should be publicized Recent political scandals puts to question the morals of government leaders ELLIOT LAM & REBECCA LOPEZ Daily Titan

It may come as no surprise that individuals high up in the echelons of our society feel that they are above moral standards to the extent that they commit lewd acts, but when these individuals operate in a public capacity, their actions can be made public and scrutinized by everyone.

As news stories of Anthony Weiner and Bob Filner’s sexual harassment come to light, voters are asking themselves once again whether the indiscretions of public individuals should preclude them from serving the public.

Unlike CEOs of private multinational corporations, elected officials like mayors, governors and members of Congress are funded entirely by taxpayer dollars.

This fact has led many to believe that all actions of public officials are subject to the scrutiny of the voters who elected them to office.

In the case of Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinsky scandal, public opinion indicated that Clinton’s accomplishments as president—including his handling of the economy—outweighed any moral harm he may have committed by having sexual relations with Lewinsky.

Anthony Weiner, on the other hand, has only managed to pass one piece of legislation in his twelve and a half years in Congress.

The measure had been backed by a major donor who contributed a vast sum of money to his campaign, according to the New York Times.

Evidence thus far seems to indicate that voters are willing to forgive indiscretions if the politician has done enough for his constituents.

If elected officials do not succumb to the pressure to resign, they can be recalled in several states if enough petiVISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

tions are collected to enact a recall election.

Recalls can happen for any action, but recall elections cost states additional money to operate.

The case of Bob Filner proves to be more ambiguous than it initially appears, as the allegations that have been made against him happened while he was serving in Congress.

According to Southern California Public Radio, sexual harassment training is not mandated by law, and members of Congress receive little to no training in workplace ethics.

With that in mind, if Filner were to admit to the accusations against him, he could argue that he was not aware such actions were inappropriate.

We talk about what is right and wrong in terms of acceptable behavior for politicians, but with respect to vague indiscretions, we fail to acknowledge that these expectations are subjective and have yet to be addressed in public policy.

Should it be up to policymakers then, to address these shortfalls via legislation, or do we prefer that these moral expectations are intentionally left unaddressed so that we can make judgements based upon the national mood?

The question is not whether voters should establish a clear code of moral ethics for elected officials, but whether or not the public should scrutinize their non-political actions to begin with.

And if we do, we must determine at what points in time it is appropriate for us to make our opinions heard.

We, as taxpaying voters, should never be naive to the fact that we will never have corrupt, immoral, outright gross politicians.

This is not to say that we should throw our hands in the air and say “to hell with it, there’s nothing we can do.”

Certainly, there are policymakers whose moral compasses remain intact. It is up to us, the voting citizens, to have enough pride in ourselves and our communities that we want only the best to govern our towns.

Daily Titan

LAS VEGAS— It’s two hours before show time and the Los Angeles-based foursome soberly step into a double-decker party bus.

Made up of members Fat Snapz Lalib (bass), Silky Johnson (drums), Burnie Baker (guitar) and Button (guitar), New Beat Fund is humbly, but not typically, living the rock n’ roll lifestyle their way.

Clearly, these are nicknames and judging by their cool, relaxed demeanor, being on tour as Blink-182’s opening act is just another part of the job.

“The first song I ever learned on guitar was ‘Dammit,’” Snapz said. “My friend in sixth grade taught it to me.

It was completely wrong, but it was my first attempt at trying to play an instrument.”

Snapz sits cross-legged at a corner of the dimly-lit bus.

He’s wearing an all-over novelty print button-up and

rocking bright purple hair.

And while his style comes off as obscure, New Beat Fund collaboratively pushes the boundaries of what’s expected.

The band signed with Red Bull Records in May of this year, a couple weeks before going on Warped Tour.

Prior to that, New Beat Fund was self-producing music under their own label called Grinchfoot Records.

And if you haven’t figured it out by now, Fat Snaps Lalib, Burnie Baker and Grinchfoot are just a few marijuana references hinted throughout New Beat Fund’s sound.

“Everything was very D.I.Y.,” Snapz said. “Burnie went to Cal Arts. He was a graphic artist. Any artwork you see is done by him, poster, album artwork … Button went to auto engineering school. He learned a lot about technical aspects of recording music. We all just learned how to record and produce our own music, writing our own songs.”

Their latest single “Scare Me” has earned about 50,000 YouTube views and recently added to mtvU and Reverb Nation.

“Scare Me,” which is a rela-

tively old song to the band at least, is just now being discovered, Snapz said.

“We just have an EP,” Snapz said. “We have a lot of new material written. Like fucking sick as fuck. Probably not releasing an album until summer of next year I’m going to say.”

The music video for “Scare Me” depicts New Beat Fund’s Cali lifestyle.

It’s upbeat and fun as the band takes a mini road trip and walks down Venice Beach with their ghost companion.

As weird as this music video gets, it only gets weirder.

The band classifies their music as “g-punk,” which isn’t even an official music genre listed on iTunes. New Beat Fund, in more ways than one, are defining their own category.

“It’s a derivative of West Coast gangster rap, aka gfunk,” Snapz said, listing examples such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and 2Pac, all artists they grew up listening to.

Although these artist references may be difficult to spot through their music, New Beat Fund incorporates much more believable punk rock inf luences such as Rancid, AFI and

R&B artist to serenade on campus Eric Bellinger has collabed with artists such as Usher, Chris Brown and Brandy ZEILA EDRIAL Daily Titan

Ladies, hold onto your skirts and gentlemen, take a few notes.

Serenading his way onto the Becker Amphitheater this Wednesday is R&B artist Eric Bellinger.

The singer-songwriter’s sexy, soulful vocals are reminiscent of Trey Songz.

His mix of smooth electro melodies are similar to The Weeknd, while other songs integrate a cool R&B throwback.

Born II Sing Vol. III is the latest album off Bellinger’s Born II Sing series.

The album was produced by Nieman Johnson, an executive for Your Favorite Song, the company that represents Bellinger.

The album opens with a track called “Intro” told by Usher, who introduces the young artist.

Bellinger is responsible for helping co-write Usher’s third single, “Let Me See,” off the Looking 4 Myself album in 2012.

With musical influences running in his blood, Bellinger was destined for a music career.

His grandfather, songwriter Bobby Day, wrote “Little Bitty Pretty One,” later performed

by The Jackson 5.

Before pursuing a solo career, Bellinger was in an R&B group

called AKNU, an acronym for “A Kind Never Understood.”

“God blessed me with a voice. So I figured, why not use my gift?” Bellinger said.

Bellinger has collaborated with many artists and is featured in songs such as “Intuition” by Selena Gomez, “Fresh” by Kid Ink and “Whatever” by Ashlyne Huff.

He is currently working with Chris Brown for his upcoming album X. Bellinger has also helped write songs for Fantasia, Nelly and Brandy.

And if it’s not obvious, most of the inspiration behind his music is women and his experiences with them.

He told Vibe magazine that he is “not the guy that’s good at being single. I love having someone to call, I love going to the movies with somebody, going to dinner with somebody.”

Bellinger performs Wednesday, Sept. 25 at the Becker Amphitheater at noon.

Red Hot Chili Peppers.

For Snapz 24th birthday this September, the band played Riot Fest in Chicago before going on tour with Blink-182.

“There was like 1,000 people. It was one of our first own shows since Warped Tour, because we’ve been on tour with Blink for a while ... It was phenomenal,” Snapz said.

Coincidentally, the story behind New Beat Fund is rather epic as well.

While working at Sound City, the same studio where Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) shot his documentary, the band co-produced tracks with Matt Wallace, producer for Maroon 5.

The studio contained a jar labeled “New Boat Fund,” which didn’t receive any contributions, with the exception of a lonely guitar pic.

“We etched out the ‘o’ and made it an ‘e,’ and it became ‘New Beat Fund,’” Snapz said.

The band later took the piggy bank and launched it into a corporate building in dedication to their newly acquired mantra that they would no longer need a financial helping hand.

This “no bullshit” tolerance is transacted back to their fans as New Beat Fund gives their music out for free.

“Our feedback is usually positive, but a lot passionately hate us, which I love. I’m not about mediocrity,” Snapz said.

“People are either offended or fucking love what we do and how weird we are.”

The double-decker bus makes its way around the strip and drops off the band at The Cosmopolitan hotel where they will perform at the Boulevard Pool in front of a crowd filled with Blink-182 and New Beat Fund fans.

Although you can only assume which fans made up the majority of the crowd, New Beat Fund delivered an interactive and lively performance, unlike many ‘get off the stage!’ opening acts.

Starting Oct. 16 New Beat Fund will join another national tour alongside 3oh!3, The Summer Set and Wallpaper where they will play songs off their CoiNz EP. Stay tuned for their “Peachez” and “Get Up” music video and stop by their website at NewBeatFund.com.

Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie made a special guest appearance during the end of “20 Dollar Nose Bleed.”

The performance took a dramatic and mysterious turn when Urie sang “Have you ever wanted to disappear?” and the arena’s lights went out.

When the lights were re-lit, Urie was nowhere to be scene and the members of Fall Out Boy appeared on a small stage in the middle of the venue f loor.

They played an acoustic set that included “Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy” before returning to the main stage.

Fan interaction was encouraged when Wentz asked the entire venue to do the wave.

He used a spotlight on stage and asked every section to stand up when he shined the light on them.

Black inf latable beach balls with the band logo were dispensed during “Young Volcanoes” for fans to toss around during the concert.

The last song, “Saturday,” prompted fans to crowd-surf and mosh. Wentz launched himself into the audience to sing along with them.

The band hints a promise to fans in their title track “Save Rock and Roll.” The lyrics “Oh, no, we won’t go. We don’t know when to quit,” reassures Fall Out Boy fans that they have no plans of leaving the music scene any time soon.

Funny or Die’s Comedy Fest visits Irvine An aged Dave Chappelle delivered a memorable stand-up performance ANDRES GARCIA Daily Titan

Dave Chappelle and New Zealand’s comedy-folk duo, Flight of the Conchords, double-headlined the sold out Funny Or Die Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival Sept. 15 at the Irvine Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

Stand-up comedian Brody Stevens hosted the second stage, which showcased lowprofile, local comedians who warmed up the audience.

Jeffrey Ross, also known as The Roast Master General, hosted the main stage and entertained the audience throughout the night. Kristin Schaal (Flight of the Conchords) really got the crowd’s juices flowing with her Vagina Monologue-inspired bit, called the Taintalogues.

Comedians such as Donnell Rawlings (Chappelle’s Show), professed his fondness for Paula Deen and Chris D’Elia (Whitney) stood out as a crowd favorite with his impression of a drunk girl.

Hannibal Buress, known for his stand-up comedy albums, My Name is Hannibal and Animal Furnace, recounted the time he peed himself while on ecstasy and decided to just “dance it off.”

Definitely one of the funniest visuals all night.

Demetri Martin (Important Things with Demetri Martin) walked on stage to a huge round of applause.

His impeccable timing and mix of one-liners landed well with the audience.

Al Madrigal (The Daily Show) stereotyped Mexican party supply stores.

“Looking for a Dora the Explorer piñata? Well, we have something very similar,” Madrigal said in his “Barrio Geppetto” accent. “We have Stacey the Spelunker. She explores mostly caves.”

Australian stand-up comedian Jim Jefferies compared his young son to a cigarette.

Also, taking the stage at their alma mater for the event were Brooke Aston, Jennifer Hubilla, Emily Mitchell, Erin McNally, Kate Peters and Brad Stanley.

Along with Hanlon, College of the Arts professor Eve Himmelheber represented CSUF’s faculty on stage.

The grand finale closed with a performance of “Proud to Be

they’re killing me,” Jeffries joked.

He took a stance on gun control saying that he’s all for muskets because they give you time to calm down.

Jefferies’ bit on South African amputee Olympic sprinter, Oscar Pistorius, got the biggest laugh of the night.

After a short intermission, Flight of the Conchords hit the stage to a boisterous applause.

The duo played classics like “Hurt Feelings” and “Business Time.”

But for a comedy troupe that are known for their songs, their banter was the highlight. The on-stage chemistry between Bret and Jemaine was priceless.

During a new song, they had to stop because Jemaine screamed as if something had bitten or stung him in the back.

This opened up some of the funniest dialogue of the night.

“The Irvine Incident,” as Jemaine called it, made for a memorable performance.

The anticipation had built all night. Dave Chappelle finally came onto the stage, and he didn’t disappoint.

Though his energy fluctuated throughout his set, the audience didn’t flinch. Everyone hung on his every word.

He hit hard with his Boys n the Hood inspired shtick on male-rape and how there was no comfort in feeding his children “Integrity Sandwiches” after his departure from his show.

He looked somewhat weathered at times, sitting down, wiping the sweat off his head, but always with a cigarette in hand.

However, Chapelle remained in control of the show.

Chappelle extended his set, despite the promoters urging him to leave the stage by 11:30 p.m. or else he’d be fined.

It was 11:29, Chappelle and the crowd sat there, waiting to the very last second. At 11:30, Chappelle thanked the crowd and walked off to a much deserved standing ovation.

A night consisting of 6 hours of comedy that appeals to a diverse crowd is rare, and to see such a diverse line-up in a comedy show is even more rare, but the Oddball Comedy Festival delivered without overshooting or falling short. an American” and “America, the Beautiful” by the show’s entire cast, who received a standing ovation, followed by a fireworks display.

Contributions and funds raised by the event will go towards student scholarships and academic enrichment.

CSUF swept

by Trojans No. 5 USC keep CSUF to a .000 hitting percentage in the second set of loss IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team traveled to USC to play the Trojans on Friday night for their first big test of the season but came up short.

The fifth-ranked Trojans proved to be too tough of a match for the Titans, winning with a sweep 3-0.

The win improves their record to 10-1 and extends their winning streak to four.

The Titans fell to 7-4 on the season.

The Titans were swept by the Trojans 25-19, 25-16, and 25-23.

USC had a .233 hitting percentage for the match.

The Titans were held to a mark of just .107.

The Trojans were the third opponent to have a hitting percentage over .230 against the Titans for the 2013 season.

The first set was a close one between the Titans and Trojans for a while until the Trojans pulled away.

The Titans even led 11-8 at one point.

The Trojans went on a 9-3 run and never looked back.

Three service aces from sophomore outside hitter Samantha Bricio, including two in the closing points of the set, also helped seal the set for the Trojans.

The second set wasn’t as close however.

After the Trojans had a 10-8 lead, they went on a 5-0 run and buried the Titans from there.

Senior middle blocker Alexis Olgard highlighted the momentum for the Trojans with three consecutive kills.

Having nine errors proved to be a momentum killer and caused the Titans to have a .000 percentage for the second set.

The third set was the most exciting of the three as it went right down to the wire.

The Titans had a 16-14 lead before the Trojans went on to eventually win the set.

An attack error by Olgard put the match at a one-point lead for the Trojans.

Junior outside hitter Emily Young delivered the game-winning kill for the Trojans.

Senior right side hitter Alyse Hensley led the Titans in kills with nine and freshman libero McKenna Painton led them with 17 digs.

Freshman outside hitter Paige Reed and Hensley added 16 and 14 digs, respectively.

Senior middle blocker Leah Best and sophomore right side hitter Holland Crenshaw each added eight kills for the Titans.

Junior setter Julie Consani played the role of distributor for the Titans as she led them with 27 assists.

Consani’s assist count now stands at 1,424 for her career, leaving her 71 short of passing Stacey Stanek for seventh place all-time in Fullerton’s history.

Bricio led the way for the Trojans with her two clutch service aces on top of 12 kills.

On top of that, she added seven digs to her stat line for the night.

Her hitting percentage stood at .324.

Senior libero Natalie Hagglund matched Painton and led the Trojans in digs with 17.

This is the third match of the season that the Titans have been swept.

With this victory, the Trojans lead the all-time series against the Titans 23-0 dating back to 1976.

The Titans will look to recover from this tough loss and prepare themselves for their conference matches.

Later this week, the Titans will travel to the University of Hawaii to begin Big West play against the Rainbow Warriors on Friday, Sept. 27 at 10 p.m.

The following two games will take place at home, where the Titans hold a 4-0 record so far.

On Friday Oct. 4, the Titans will take on UC Davis at 7 p.m.

The following night, the Titans will play Cal State Northridge where Autograph Night will be held.

The players will sign free posters for everyone who attends the match.

ROBERT HUSKEY / For the Daily Titan

Junior midfielder Erica Mazeau and teammate Rebecca Wilson celebrate after Morgan Batcheller’s double overtime header lifts the Titans over USC.

Titans outduel USC Trojans in overtime

Morgan Batcheller’s game winner in double overtime stuns USC fans at home JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team stormed back for an impressive comeback against the USC Trojans on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, winning 2-1 in double overtime.

The Titans fell behind early against the Trojans when sophomore midfielder Megan Borman scored her first goal of the season in the first minute of play.

The goal came off of a loose ball following an initial save by Titans senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic.

Despite the initial shock of conceding an early score to USC, the 1-0 deficit did not rattle the Titans.

CSUF was able to fire back in the 15th minute when senior midfielder Erica Mazeau col-

lected a loose ball off of a saved shot and finished by placing the ball in the far post to even the score.

The Titans did get an opportunity to take the lead in the second half when junior midfielder Chelsey Patterson broke past the defense and seemingly had an easy scoring chance.

However, an official called an offsides violation, and one of the few CSUF opportunities was thwarted.

The Trojans were given many opportunities at the end of both the first and second halves, but were unable to score.

USC took three shots in the last five minutes of the first half, none of which were on target.

At the end of the second half, USC was given three goal scoring opportunities, but two were saved by Maricic and the other went wide.

That was the extent of the scoring opportunities until the game-winner by Titans sophomore defender Morgan Batcheller came in the 107th minute.

Mazeau was credited with the

assist on the winning goal, her second big contribution of the day.

Scoring opportunities were limited for the Titans, but they were able to come through when given the opportunity.

Two halves were not enough to decide this match, and even the first overtime period gave few opportunities for either side to break away with a scoring opportunity.

The Trojans outshot CSUF 24-7 in the match, and held an 8-6 advantage with shots on goal.

USC also had four corner kicks compared to the Titans three.

Sophomore forward Christina Burkenroad led the Titans with three shots, and Jordan Marada led the Trojans with six shots.

Maricic was strong in between the pipes, recording seven saves in the match while USC goalie Caroline Stanley recorded three saves.

The match was relatively free of fouls, with only two yellow

cards given during the game, one for both the Titans and the Trojans.

With the win, the Titans improve to 4-3-2 on the season, while USC fell to 5-3-1 with the defeat.

The Titans are becoming accustomed to playing two overtimes this season, as this is the third time their match has reached that point.

This was the first victory for the Titans in those overtime sessions this year, as they had previously tied both of their two overtime matches in the 2013 season.

CSUF will hit the road again when they play against the Pepperdine Waves on Friday, Sept.

27 in Malibu.

Pepperdine enters the match with a 5-3-1 record after defeating Fresno State in their last match and they are 3-1-1 on their home field while CSUF are 1-2 on the road this season.

Fullerton soccer guns down Mavericks Men’s soccer get first shutout of season while ending road losing streak VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team snapped a fourgame losing streak on Saturday scoring early and often against the University of Nebraska-

Omaha Mavericks and winning by a margin of 3-0.

Goals by Garrett Losee, Amara Soumah and Jamie Cano powered CSUF to their second win of the 2013 season.

The road had been unkind to Head Coach Bob Ammann’s Titans leading up to Saturday’s match in Omaha.

On their four-game trip away from Titan Stadium, CSUF had dropped all three of their previ-

ous matches despite holding an early lead in each of them.

During the streak the Titans also found themselves on the wrong side of two golden goals in back-to-back overtime losses to the University of San Diego and Cornell.

And up until Saturday, the Titans hadn’t won a single contest on the road since defeating UC Riverside in overtime on Oct. 20 of last season.

Getting the Titans going early was Losee, the junior midfielder. The BYU transfer spared no time in opening the match aggressively when his third minute header from junior midfielder Spencer Johnson’s free kick beat Mavericks senior goalkeeper Matt Grosey.

The goal was Losee’s first career tally with the Titans and the fourth time in as many games the Titans had scored

first against an opponent.

After scoring early, the Titans capped off the first half by putting another goal in the Mavericks’ net via Soumah’s second goal of the season.

The junior transfer forward benefitted from the work of fellow junior transfer Marc Fenelus on the Titans’ right side to tap in from close range for a commanding two goal lead heading into the break. The assist was Fenelus’ first of the season.

The two goal lead was more than enough for the Titans’ senior goalkeeper, Robbie Hannon.

The London native filled in for usual starting goalkeeper Bryan Escalante, and needed just three saves to record his first win and shutout of the season.

Finishing off the match, the Titans had a chance to add some insurance when a handball in the Mavericks’ penalty area awarded CSUF a penalty kick with just 15 minutes remaining in the match.

Cano, a senior defender for the Titans, coolly guided his penalty home past Grosey giving the Titans a comfortable three goal lead.

The goal was Cano’s first of the 2013 season.

Despite ending the match with a narrow 13-12 shot advantage, the Titans dominated all facets of the box score including having a 7-1 corner kick advantage over the Mavericks.

For their part, the side from Omaha’s best opportunity came in the match’s 51st minute when freshman midfielder Xavier Gomez rattled a shot off the Titans’ crossbar, only to have the ball bounce on the goal line before being cleared from danger.

With the win, the Titans improve to 2-5 on the 2013 season, garnering their first shutout win on the road since their 3-0 victory against American University back on Sept. 16, 2011.

The Titans now return home hoping to build off this victory before Big West Conference play starts in October.

Fullerton will have a week to train before taking on Grand Canyon University at Titan Stadium on Sept. 28. The match with Grand Canyon will be their last leading up to league play, when they travel to UC Santa Barbara to face a tough Gauchos team in their Big West opener.

Make a new commitment. Take care to avoid breakage or crazy expense. Don’t go exactly by the book. Leave your savings intact. Passions get stirred, and creativity flourishes. Co-workers get wind of it.

Family members grow closer.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

Controversy arises. A difficult job goes easier with help, so ask. Apply energy to your career and make up ground. Finishing old projects brings in extra cash (and satisfaction). Fix up your place, especially the garden. Get outdoors.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Emotions interfere with logic. Choose whatever is most important. Friends bring encouragement. Avoid distractions. Hold off on an assignment unless you can draw upon hidden resources and delegate. Get organized. Contact a defined market.

Press ahead.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

Postpone an outing or expansion. Write a story, song or screenplay. Study with a passion. Clean up, but don’t throw out someone else’s stuff. Others buy in to your plans. You’ve got a mutually beneficial arrangement.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

Lovely thoughts linger from sweet dreams.

Don’t avoid work or spend impulsively today. Provide for others. You’re an inspiration. Work smarter for ease. It’s all coming together due to work you’ve already done.

Plan for expansion.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Get public with your work. Support the people who support you. Don’t try to buy influence ... it’s unnecessary. You’re already making a good impression. Controversy could erupt, so don’t rock the boat. Don’t blindly trust what you’ve been taught.

AQUARIUS

(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

There could be difficulties with travel now, so take care. Find time to meditate or relax. A partner is excited. Saving money is possible. Expand your list of social contacts. Paint, draw or make music. Use red sparingly.

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

More work is required. Keep control of expenses. Ask for help. You may find yourself at an impasse with a loved one. Continue to produce results. Don’t gamble now (or bankroll a gambler).

Add to savings instead. Pamper yourself.

Cougars rip apart Titan defense Cougars snap Titans’ 260 minute shutout streak in CSUF’s first home loss VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan

For the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team, the match with the Washington State Cougars on Friday was a tale of two streaks.

A goal by the Cougars’ senior forward Micaela Castain in the match’s 32nd minute brought an end to the Titans’ impressive streak of 260 minutes without allowing their opponent to score a goal.

Conversely, the Titans’ own goalless streak of just over 200 minutes continued, allowing Washington State’s lone tally to be enough for the Cougars to get a victory on the night.

The ongoing CSUF goalless streak, beginning after the Titans’ last minute goal beating Loyola Marymount 1-0 on Sept.

13, spans three matches, including a double-overtime draw with Utah State University in the Titans’ preceding match.

Coming into the match winless in their last eight meetings with teams from the Pac-12 Conference, the score might have been worse for the Titans if it weren’t for senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic’s save on Castain’s penalty kick in the match’s 22nd minute.

Castain, whose goal in the 32nd was her ninth of the season, stepped up to take the shot after being brought down by CSUF senior midfielder Kishi Smith just inside the Titan penalty area.

After a short delay, Maricic’s quick reflexes allowed

her to punch the shoulder-high shot clear, initially keeping the match scoreless.

“Most of the time with penalty kicks it’s a reaction save, you kind of have to read the ball a bit and see where it’s going but at the end of the kick, it’s just where you think it’s going to go,” Maricic said of her save after the match. “It’s a guessing game, to be honest with you. And I was able to make the right movement. She let it off a little bit, so I was able to read it a bit better.”

Maricic ended the day with five saves while her counterpart Gurveen Clair had three saves in the match.

With his team struggling to create goal scoring opportunities as of late, Titan Head Coach Demian Brown set out his side in an offensive leaning formation from the start, sacrificing a defender in the back line to add a third attacker up top.

Thanks to the extra player in the opposing team’s half, the Titans did well to recover balls throughout much of the game’s two halves and apply a bit of pressure through extended periods of possession.

However, the Cougars’ willingness to drop deep behind the ball stifled CSUF’s attack throughout much of the match and Washington State looked happy to play on the counterattack against a Titan team struggling to find dangerous positions around the pitch.

As Washington State committed more numbers back to protect their lead, thrusting the initiative on the Titans, CSUF’s inability to manufacture goal scoring opportunities became painfully obvious at times.

CSUF’s best opportunity didn’t materialize until the match’s 87th minute, when sophomore forward Christina Burkenroad found space behind the WSU defense, but was unable to pick out a teammate in front of goal.

“I think we’re doing everything right, our positioning is wonderful, we just have to

anticipate the balls more. It’ll come when it’s time,” Burkenroad said of her team’s scoring troubles after the match. “We’ve had plenty of good chances.

We’ve worked as a team. We’ve communicated. It’s just not coming right now, but it’ll come.

It’ll come for sure when we need it.”

The Titans’ coach echoed Burkenroad’s thoughts after the match, adding that the Cougars might have had a bit of luck on the night.

“Changing into a 3-4-3 was, I think, a great tactical move out of the coaching staff to put more pressure,” Brown said.

“We had one chance with Roady (Burkenroad) there late that would have been a benefit of that change. They were saved by a toe, and that’s just the way it goes sometimes.”

The Titans were narrowly edged out in the shots department 9-8 and the two teams tied for corners with two apiece.

Smith and senior midfielder

Erica Mazeau each had a team high two shots while Castain led the Cougars with three.

Brown’s team falls to 3-3-2 on the season with the Titans hitting the road to take on Pepperdine University before returning home to face Gonzaga on Sept. 29 and then kick off the Big West season against Hawaii on Oct. 4.
