Daily Titan

Starry eyed aspiring student artists crowded the visual arts studio room to see Butch Hartman, the creator of The Fairly OddParents, who hosted the first installment of the on-campus Nickelodeon Master Class. Nickelodeon will hold several lectures geared for mentoring animation students throughout the year. Each lecture will feature an animation production professional who knows a thing or two about the industry and can give students advice on how to create and sell an animated TV show. Butch Hartman, or “The Butch Hartman” as one admiring student clarified, has been involved in every aspect of the animation industry from sketching and writing to producing. He is best known as the creative force behind the animated TV

Preparing for the big quake USGS seismologist explains history and future of earthquakes ERIC GANDARILLA Daily Titan

At any moment in California, a rumbling beneath the feet could mean disaster. “The Big One.” A hypothetical, hugely powerful earthquake that would rock California could be just around the corner. “Any day is fair game for a big earthquake in California,” Susan Hough, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said. Although no one can predict when exactly is going to happen, Hough said that this earthquake is inevitable. The seismologist spoke at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday about the past, present and possible future of seismic activities in California. Hough explained that California is no stranger to earth-

quakes, most Californians know that at any moment the earth beneath their feet can get a lot less stable and begin to shake. “So Alaska has more quakes and bigger quakes than we do. California is certainly one of the top two or three, Oregon and Washington have the potential for huge earthquakes,” Hough said. “In terms of the number of damaging earthquakes, they don’t tend to have as many as California has had.” The most famous, and most damaging earthquake in U.S. history was the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Hough said. The earthquake left most of the city destroyed. The damage was caused by a combination of the seismic activity and the fire that spawned because of the

earthquake. This earthquake would end up claiming 3,000 lives. Northern California had experienced multiple major earthquakes in a fairly short amount of time. Before the famous 1906 earthquake, San Francisco was hit with two particularly big temblors in 1865 and 1868. However, not much seismic

activity was occurring in the southern regions of California for a while. There was a span of time when the Los Angeles area was not considered an active earthquake site, Hough said. SEE EARTHQUAKE, 3

A Great Gatsby-esque backyard soirée drew in the Fullerton community as part of the city’s annual food and wine tasting event. Fullerton Uncorked set a swanky night scene Saturday as attendees celebrated with champagne popping and cigar lighting amidst a fire-roasting aura. The event, which was held by the Fullerton South Rotary, was priced at $60 and the proceeds went towards the city’s Boys & Girls Clubs and the Arboretum. Upon entering the event, attendees passed through a hallway of volunteers who poured samples of sparkling wine. The aroma of sweets and barbeque, once contained within the Arboretum’s greenery, filled the air throughout the night. Fullerton Uncorked held a romantic atmosphere in a botanical garden that housed nearly 4,000 plants. Tickets, which included unlimited food and beverages, al-

shows The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom. The Fairly OddParents is one of Nickelodeon’s most successful shows, with more than 190 episodes over a span of nine seasons. The series follows a 10-yearold boy, Timmy Turner, who has fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, who grant him his every wish. Hartman points out that the only problem is that the fairies happen to be dumb, which leads to them getting into all kinds of hysterical trouble. The franchise has also included two live action films, which starred Drake Bell (Drake and Josh) as Timmy Turner. The first film A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! was a celebration of the series’ 10th anniversary in 2011 and was followed by the holiday special A Fairly Odd Christmas in 2012. Hartman also announced that the third live action film, A Fairly Odd Summer, is currently in production and aimed to release in 2014.

After putting their own backs against the wall, the resolve of the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team was on full display in a 2-1 victory over the Gonzaga University Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon at Titan Stadium. Goals by junior midfielder Chelsey Patterson and senior

forward Janali West sealed the victory for the Titans in their final match before conference play begins on Friday. In a match where CSUF dominated and were far superior in nearly every offensive category, including a stunning 10-1 advantage in corner kicks, the Titans were left scratching their heads when a misjudged back pass and a dubious no-call put the Bulldogs on level terms with just under 20 minutes remaining in the match.

Students grabbed photo ops with Scooby, Shaggy and Snoopy at Associated Students Incorporated’s annual Block Party on Thursday to showcase student life at Cal State Fullerton. ASI exhibited different vendors that students are able to buy discounted tickets for, within the Titan Student Union, and different types of ASI related student activities, like the Titan Street Team and Titan Radio. This all-day ASI Oktoberfest themed Block Party, nicknamed Bloktoberfest, featured free food, such as soft pretzels and rootbeer f loats, free games and free art. Regularly held early in September, the annual event was pushed back to fit with the theme of Oktoberfest, said Andrea Orozco, a business major and ASI chief of communications. Bloktoberfest hosted a resource fair that included vendors, free henna tattoos, caricatures and complementary food. Of all the food booths, the line for soft pretzels and

rootbeer f loats were consistently the longest. Knott’s Berry Farm brought Snoopy and their Halloween themed Knott’s Scary Farm scarers to frighten students as they walked by. “It was really cool how Knott’s Scary Farm came out. I saw people get scared … it was pretty funny,” Mitchell Tao, 19, a biochemistry major, said. Madame Tussaud’s brought their wax figure of Lucille Ball, portraying Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy, for students to take pictures with. Universal Studios brought a piece of childhood with them, with appearances from Scooby Doo, Shaggy and the Mystery Machine. Other tents were occupied by student organizations such as Titan Radio and the Titan Street Team. Titan Shops hosted a Tech Expo that provided free workshops, discounts and giveaways. Besides the different companies and student organizations present at the block party, students were able to play games like table t.000ennis, tic-tac-toe, Connect Four and Giant Jenga. “It’s a big event to showcase what ASI can offer, and everything that’s good about student life,” Orozco said.

City officials welcome charter school New charter school graduated 50 high school dropouts in June BRITTANY CURRIE Daily Titan

The City of Fullerton held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of Orange County Conservation Corps Charter School on Friday. The school provides students aged 18-25 with a second chance at earning a high school diploma. OCCC Charter School helps young at-risk adults become active members of the community by providing educational programs and employment training to guide them toward the right track and meet their potential. Corps members are mostly minorities who have had issues ranging from substance abuse problems, gang allegiances or unplanned pregnancies living in the poorest conditions in Orange County. Chief Executive Officer

Katharyn Muniz Bandoni, Senator Lou Correa, Board of Directors, Fullerton Chamber of Commerce and Corps members were just some of the people who attended the ceremony. There are an estimated 4,000 dropouts from the county’s public schools system, according to the 2012 Annual Report on the Conditions of Children in Orange County. The OCCC is one of 13 conservation corps that are dedicated to serving disenfranchised youths in the county. Over the last two years, the school has given over 400 students opportunities to become productive adults. Anthony Blancas, guest speaker at the event, is one student who got a second chance and graduated from the program last June. “I actually learned a lot and I got a lot of qualities coming to school and work at the same time,” Blancas said. OCCC offers everything from earning a high school diploma and paid work experiences to

transportation services and bus passes. Stephanie Yepez, an Office Corps member, found out about the charter school through a family member.

“I actually learned a lot and I got a lot of qualities coming to school and work at the same time.” Anthony Blancas Guest Speaker

Because she was previously in the students’ shoes, Yepez felt passionate to help and started working at the school. “If I knew about this organiza-

tion back when I was younger, that would have helped me so much,” Yepez said. “Now I tell everybody about it when I’m out.” The U.S. Department of Education announced that the high school dropout rate across the nation has risen to 27 percent. In addition, the unemployment rate in California stands at 20 percent, which is twice the state average. “Will we turn things around overnight? No,” said Bandoni, “But I’m proud to say that we believe our school is an innovative path to helping be part of the solution to turn the tide around at least here in Orange County, California.” OCCC Charter School also celebrated the new technology they received. The school welcomed new touch screen computers and Pinsoft software. The charter school has teamed up with Flipswitch, an education management system, to become the only charter online alternative school which allows

corps members over 240 online classes. Educators might not be there for each different course and this allows students to take other classes they need to graduate. All of the courses are UC approved and available for all corps members. Currently, 150 students are enrolled on a rolling basis. Each student enrolls and depending on their life situations, may drop after the third week and “roll out.” The charter school is crucial on making sure students do not just receive packet work. Kids will drop out if it is too hard, said Fred Zepeda, school director of education. “We do direct instruction, we won’t do packet work.” It is important to the educators that each student is receiving and learning the material hands-on and not just given papers to take home and return. The school provides skill building classes and fun exercises to help them become stronger

learners. To ensure corps members become successful, the school provides flexible schedules Monday through Thursday and design class schedules to be flexible and fit students’ needs. A math and English assessment test helps place corps members in the appropriate classes and prepare them to pass the California High School Exit Exam that they may have failed before. As of June 2013, 50 students have graduated from the OCCC Charter School. OCCC Charter School has numerous supporters from cities throughout Orange County and sponsors from the Disneyland Resort and Young Invincible. Certificates were presented to the school for providing Orange County with a charter school and working on creating this program. “We are here to make a difference,” Zepeda said. “We have these really gifted kids who have just made bad choices.”

DTBRIEFS Stand Down helps veterans SARA HIATT

The third annual Orange County Stand Down was held over the weekend at the Army Reserve Center in Tustin. About 40 community organizations and governmental agencies offered their resources at the event, according to the Orange County Register. The three-day event is aimed at giving homeless and at-risk veterans access to medical care, dental services, legal assistance, mental health and substance abuse counseling, along with housing and employment assistance. There are 130,000 veterans in Orange County, and about 3,500 of those are homeless. Warm showers, grooming and clothing are also offered to the vets, as well as hot meals and tents to sleep in. Deanne Tate, founder of OC Stand Down, said 373 veterans attended the event, most of them homeless. Transportation was provided for the veterans, who all left with sleeping bags and a backpack full of toiletries. The phrase “stand down” refers to the time during battle when troops leave the field for rest and safety.

Syria agrees to U.N. decision MIA MCCORMICK

Syrian president Bashar alAssad said in an interview that his government will comply with the U.N.’s chemical weapons resolution, according to USA Today. The resolution was proposed last week. It calls for the government to dismantle and destroy its chemical weapons program. An air raid by the Syrian government took place earlier Sunday. The raid struck a high school in the city of Raqqa, which is currently under the control of rebels. At least 12 people were killed, the majority of which were students, activists said. Raqqa is the only provincial capital currently under rebel control in Syria’s civil war, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights based in Britain. Videos posted online revealed at least nine dead bodies, some of which were missing limbs. At least four of these bodies appeared to be young people. Observatory director Rami Abdul-Rahman said that the death toll is likely to rise since many of the victims are in critical condition.

Experts talk OC climate change The Cooper Center hosts its latest of lecture series on climate change ROBERT REYES Daily Titan

In a dim courtroom of the Old Orange County Courthouse, a panel of experts made a case for action against climate change and what it means for Orange County residents. “You live in an area that is rapidly degrading,” said Matthew Kirby, Ph.D., one of the panelists and a professor of geological studies who focuses on climates of past geological ages. “And with climate change, my research can tell you it will degrade more rapidly.” During the presentation on Thursday, Kirby pointed to the California Floristic Province, a region that covers much of coastal and Northern California, as a sign of how the immediate environment is affected by climate change. The area is considered to be one of four hot spots where biodiversity is threatened due to changes in the environment in North and Central America, according to Conservation International. Among its inhabitants are the giant kangaroo rat and the endangered California condor. If climate change continues, Kirby anticipates the possible disappearance of state parks and California’s snowy mountain tops. “We live in arguably one of the most hazardous places you can live in the world,” Kirby said. “But the weather’s great.” Another panelist, Linda Marsa of Discover Magazine, and author of Fevered, a book about the health effects of climate change, said that the

main way people would be affected by climate change is the change in their health. “It’s basic atmospheric chemistry. You have the sunlight which cooks all this particulate matter that we’re dumping into the atmosphere and it creates ozone smog, which is what causes all these respiratory illnesses,” Marsa said. While Marsa said efforts in California can help, the global ecosystem would eventually “catch up with us.” “If we could build a little dome over California it would be great,” said Marsa. “But we can’t.” Jere Lipps, Ph.D., director of the Cooper Center and former UC Berkeley professor and Chair for its Department of Integrative Biology, believes that one of the main reasons that climate change is not always at the forefront of people’s mind is that they are not constantly being affected by it in an obvious way. “They’re not aware that they’re drinking sewage water,” Lipps said, alluding to the recycled water treated through the Orange County Groundwater Replenishment System. Lipps mentioned driving electric cars and using solar panels as ways people can lessen their carbon impact. A simple way that people could contribute to solving the problem of climate change: drive less, Lipps said. “They could do all these other things too, but who’s got $30,000 to put solar panels on their roof?” Lipps said. The panel was also critical of some of the media coverage regarding climate change. “Don’t believe the people on TV that are ranting and raving about this stuff because they know very little about it,”

Matthew Kirby, Ph.D., and Linda Marsa, were part ofa panel of experts regarding climate change held in the Cooper Center on Thursday.

Lipps said. Lipps said the reasons some people deny the possibility of climate change can range from monetary reasons to a hypothesis that some are genetically disposed to think a certain way. “All of this is irresponsible,” Lipps said, “because science tells us through good data and good evidence that the climate not only will change, but it already has started to change.” He singled out the Orange

County Register’s coverage of climate change, saying that the news reporting section regularly reported on the real effects of climate change, while opinion pages gave a different story. “It’s not totally hopeless,” Lipps said. “But we need to have a better media presence.” The event was sponsored by the Cooper Center, a joint venture between Cal State Fullerton and OC Parks. The center was created in

Dozens gathered in front of AT&T Park Sunday to ask witnesses to the killing of Los Angeles Dodgers fan Jonathan Denver to come forward. Denver was fatally stabbed Wednesday night after watching the Dodgers’ road loss to the San Francisco Giants. The stabbing took place at a club near the stadium after a team rivalry altercation, according to the Los Angeles Times. Michael Montgomery, the 21-year-old man who was arrested Thursday after admitting to killing Denver, told police he acted in self-defense. This sent police looking for further evidence. Montgomery was later released without charges. Montgomery did not attend the game that night, but one of his friends was wearing a Giants hat, which Montgomery’s father said could have led to the conflict.

Costly Obamacare worth every penny Affordable Care Act may be expensive, but the benefits outweigh costs PATRICIA LAGUNA-LOPEZ For the Daily Titan

The Affordable Care Act, more popularly known as Obamacare, is being called one of the most unpopular laws in American history. The widespread opposition is due to the amount of attention being paid to the economic factors of the plan, but when analyzing the act, the benefits greatly outweigh the costs. This new act will grant access to free preventive services to over 30 million Americans despite their medical insurance plan. Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge more for coverage based on on a persons gender or their medical history. They also cannot impose a limit on medical care over a lifetime. With a great portion of the population living longer, this plan will allow all of them to receive the care they need and not be turned away for any preexisting conditions. As stated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), “There will be an average of 53 qualified health plan choices in state where HHS (United States’ Department of Health and Human Services) will fully or partially run the Marketplace.” All the new regulations included in the Affordable Care Act will ease the stress on many Americans who until now were turned

away or are being charged too much for little coverage. For those who already have health insurance need not to worry, Obamacare will have absolutely no effect on their current health care plan. With all this talk about the economy, federal spending, and fees it is difficult to realize which comments are facts and which are pure talk. The Affordable Care Act will hardly be affecting the economy in the way that the media is por-

“Health care should not be looked at as a source of profit, but as a sector dedicated to the well-being of the public.” traying. The plan will cut $716 billion from Medicare and invest it back into Medicaid and the health care system. As for the income tax hike, it is a 1 percent tax in 2014 and later a 2.5 percent tax in 2016 that will be paid for those who choose or can not afford to purchase insurance. The net cost for the entire plan, as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office in 2012, is said to be a $1.1 trillion, but with the taxes, fees and penalties that will

be issued, it will actually decrease the federal deficit by $210 billion over the 2012-2021 period. According to the Kaiser Foundation, the cost of health care is leaving the fastest growing dent in the federal budget, but the Affordable Care Act will help reduce the impact. Without this plan, the rate at which the federal government spends on health care would greatly outpace inflation by wide margins. In short, not only will this plan help the pockets of many Americans, but it will help the federal budget. The actual economic factor is not a big enough imposition to discredit all of the benefits that will be coming out of this much anticipated plan. Health care should not be looked at as a source of profit, but as a sector dedicated to the well-being of the public. Opponents of the plan can debate the economic aspects, but this plan doesn’t have to do with money, it has to do with the lives of Americans everywhere. It has to do with the hard working single mother who is struggling to pay for her child’s asthma medication. Then there is the college student working part time, debating whether to spend the next paycheck on a doctor’s visit or gas money. Somewhere out there, a family of five would rather resort to home remedies before even thinking about paying for a $90 prescription. It is because of stories like these and many others that the Affordable Care Act will prove to be one of the greatest laws to ever be passed in American history.

Danny Phantom, the boy with supernatural ghost powers, is another wildly successful Nickelodeon series that has been running since 2004. The first Master Class lecture of the year was more of a Q-and-A session, which allowed students to interact and raise questions for the veteran animation artist. Hartman gave honest advice and always included an anecdote ref lecting how he learned each lesson, which usually led to the class erupting in laughter. Hartman emphasized two main pieces of advice for animation students that can be applied to any field. The first is to be a good person. Hartman explained that within this small business, if you build a reputation as a

jerk, people will find out and you’ll have a hard time finding work. He urged artists to always remain humble and kind, and to never become arrogant. The second piece of advice he told was to never be afraid. Do not be scared to do something that will move your career forward, no matter how daunting the task may seem, Hartman said. Kristina Harrington, an animation major who attended the seminar, said being confident in yourself and your work can be scary. “I think that’s the one thing (artists) usually fear,” Harrington said. Hartman also answered specific questions like how to pitch a story to a network and what the best format is, and what kind of jobs students should take after graduation. One fan asked him to ex-

plain in detail the step-bystep process on how to be Butch Hartman. After a chuckle, Hartman did his best on recounting each step he took to get where he is today. In short, he said it was a challenging learning process. He always took new jobs that would teach him something he could not do before, and kept working his way up. After the lecture, students immediately queued up for a chance to shake Hartman’s hand and take pictures. Some students came prepared with posters of Timmy Turner or blank sketchbooks. One stu-

porn and Gordon-Levitt’s unconvincing role as Jon, it’s actually a good story. The film itself is aesthetically pleasing, with quick shot transitions reminiscent of the subliminal approach that Fight Club was shot in, only Don Jon’s overall look is more clean cut. The opening credits are a perfect reflection of the movie’s artistic style. In between sets of attribution credits in large plain texts, shots of female bodies in increasing degrees of vulgarity are displayed while loud house music alternates in the background. It was a slide show of the media’s perception of female sexuality, starting with a cartoon of a large busted woman and eventually surged into the images of the modern adult entertainment industry. Johansson played her sexcharged character spectacularly well, even convincing viewers of her thick Jersey accent. She is the epitome of female sexuality, with tight clothes displaying her perfectly proportioned curves, plump red lips and long blonde hair. Supporting characters include Julianne Moore (The Kids are Alright) who plays a quirky, uninhibited night school classmate who befriends Jon, despite his best efforts to avoid her. Moore’s performance is believable and refreshing against the other overly-sexualized characters. Other notable cast members include Tony Danza (Who’s The Boss?) as Jon Sr., Glenne Headly (Mister Holland’s Opus) as Don’s affectionate mother and Brie Larson (21 Jump Street), as Jon’s uninterested sister whose hands are glued to her phone. Gordon-Levitt’s role as director of Don Jon far surpasses his acting role. The character would have flowed more easily with the story if someone like Channing Tatum (Magic Mike), who has clearly established himself as a sex symbol, has been cast instead.

Although watching a movie isn’t as dangerous as driving a Formula One race car, Rush still gives viewers an adrenaline rush. Chris Hemsworth (Thor) stars with Daniel Bruhl (Inglourious Basterds) in this biographical action film based on a true rivalry. Olivia Wilde (TRON:Legacy) and German actress Alexandra Maria Lara play supporting roles.

“The acting chops of Hemsworth and Bruhl are convincing enough to take viewers into a real Formula One World Chamionship.” The film centers around James Hunt (Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Bruhl), two race car drivers who have a bitter rivalry competing to win the Formula One World Championship. The film takes place in England in 1976, along with other destinations for the races. Sharing the track is the only thing Hunt and Lauda have in common though. These characters’ conflicting personalities clash and is the one of the most notable aspects of the film. Hunt is a highly-skilled, yet cocky and undisciplined, professional race car driver. He lives a luxurious bachelor lifestyle. He drinks frequently, even before races. In similarity to his careless, on-edge personality, Hunt does not fear death despite the risk his job brings. Lauda, on the other hand, is disciplined to perfection and is more cautious than Hunt. Lauda rebelled against his family when he decided to become a Formula One racer, which resulted in a falling out with his father.

Don Jon is a hot mess. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days of Summer) released his directing debut this weekend with Don Jon, an unorthodox romance centered around Jon, a sleazy bachelor with a massive porn addiction. Gordon-Levitt puffed up his chest, strutted his hips and gelled back his hair playing the film’s protagonist. However, as handsome as Gordon-Levitt is, he is not the raw, sexy mancandy his character demanded. Even more distracting than the physical character is Gordon-Levitt’s narration that sounds about a full octave lower than the actual character’s voice. This came off as Gordon-Levitt simply trying too hard to portray this womanizing character. Despite the audience’s hesitation to accept Gordon-Levitt as a “Don Jon,” the story plows on into his unrelenting addiction that he can’t admit to, and into the arms of a dame who finally stops him in his tracks. Scarlett Johansson (The Island) plays Barbara, the “dime” on a scale of one to 10, who casts a spell on Jon and breaks his bachelor routine. Jon finds himself monogamous for the first time in his life, to the dismay of his bachelor buddies. The only problem is that he has to hide his raving porn addiction from his recent catch, who makes it crystal clear she is not the type to put up with anything she doesn’t like. Period. It quickly becomes clear that Jon’s struggle to understand his obsession with porn is the focus of the plot, leaving the viewer wondering how he will overcome this obstacle, if at all. The plot isn’t completely predictable though. It takes a surprising twist that probably helps keep the artistic integrity of the film intact. The movie is littered with video clips and still photos of pornography, as well as a plethora of masturbation scenes— which although are covered from the waist down, focus on the awkward shots of Levitt’s constrained mid-orgasm face. Once you get over all the

dent in particular asked Hartman to sign his baseball hat, which he wore proudly out the door bearing a fresh autograph. Hartman definitely lives up to his “be a good person” speech. With the help of his wife Julieann, they created the Hartman House Foundation, a nonprofit organization for underprivileged children both in the United States and all over the world.

dreams of becoming a racer. Despite Hunt and Lauda’s obvious character contrasts, Rush lacks a protagonist and antagonist. Both racers have to overcome adversity throughout the film, making it difficult for the viewer to take a side. Although Hunt has a bad attitude and lacks discipline, he makes up for it with his charming charisma which makes it hard to dislike him. Unlike Hunt, Lauda thinks before he acts and never really lets loose. At one point in the film, Lauda even states that “happiness is the enemy.” However, Lauda goes through trials, much like his foil Hunt, which makes it nearly impossible to root against his inspiring determination. The acting chops of Hemsworth and Bruhl are convincing enough to take viewers into a real Formula One World Championship. Ron Howard, also director for A Beautiful Mind, did a phenomenal job making sure each scene was realistic. This is difficult to pull off in a racecar film where dramatic effects are essential. Rush still achieves that without being too fictional. Action films usually have a hero and a villain. Rush has neither, but the diverse cast and screenplay proves they aren’t necessary. The character development of Hunt and Lauda is exciting to watch. Suzy Miller (Wilde) and Marlene Knaus (Lara) also have memorable enough roles as the love interests of Hunt and Lauda. Rush’s cinematography is impressive as the film captures scenes of Hunt and Lauda racing from various camera angles. Overall, the film earns a high rating for its high-intensity action shots, an applaudable acting performance and an attentiongrabbing plot. Don’t forget to strap on a seat belt, Rush is a bumpy ride you will want to take.

Local 21 and older vendors such as Abita Brewery, Bourbon Street, Hangar 24 Brewery and Heroes Bar & Grill were present at the Arboretum’s Orchard Lawn. The lawn’s setup resembled a food court you would find at a music festival. The stage held a performance by an eclectic cover band that played music ranging from San Francisco rock to Nashville folk. Past a wino’s wild dream and a tobacco-free campus’ worst nightmare was food lovers’ paradise. JP23 BBQ and Big B’s Barbecue nearly displaced the line outside of the Arboretum to directly in front of the grill. The night’s food options held everything from classic jambalaya to fresh ahi tuna.

The event also satisfied sweet tooths with whipped desserts by Patty’s Cakes. However the purpose of the event was not to fill stomachs or test drinking limits, but to support the Boys & Girls Club of Fullerton and the Arboretum. “The CSUF Greek system does Greek Week for the kids of Camp Titan,” Kaleb Honeycutt, 25, a CSUF finance graduate said. “We not only do this for the kids, but also for the Arboretum. A biergarten for a better garden is a beautiful thing.” For those with strict or alcohol-free diets, the event featured a massage vendor for guests to relax and de-stress. The Jewelry Station Gals appealed to art junkies with decorated wine bottles and fashionable trinkets. Cheers to all who attended and volunteered at Saturday’s event and many more cheers to come.

THE DAILY TITAN SOCCER

Continued from PAGE 1

Patterson, the Titan captain, initially gave CSUF the lead 28 minutes into the match, when her cross fooled Gonzaga goalkeeper Christie Tombari, who managed to get only a fingertip on the ball as it flew into the far side netting of the goal. “When I’m asked that question people like to tell me that I should say it’s a shot but it was actually a cross,” said Patterson when asked if she meant to score after the match. “I saw Burkenroad in the middle of the box and I saw two defenders, so I knew I had to hit it really, really hard and straight at her and (the cross) ended up just curving to back post.” After the goal, the Titans continued with the pressure offensively but were unable to score. And as the half ended, Gonzaga seemed buoyed by their opponents’ inability to seal the match. In the second half, it would be the Titans’ failure to find that second goal that nearly came back to haunt them. With the Titans enjoying a 1-0 lead in the 71st minute, senior defender Kellie Bohner put redshirt freshman goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart, who had been enjoying a fairly uneventful match to this point, in a tough spot with a bouncing back pass and a rushing Gonzaga forward. Having to rush her clearance, Stuart could only manage to boot the ball directly at Gonzaga forward Sila Tuiofea. Deflecting off what appeared to be Tuiofea’s raised right arm, the ball fell favorably at the feet of fellow Bulldog forward Mikayla Anderson, who fed the ball back to Tuiofea for the tap in as Stuart attempted to rush back to her net. “It was a little sprung on me but like anything in soccer it’s all spontaneous, so we did the best we could with it and unfortunately it ended up in a goal,” Stuart said of the back pass that

led up to the goal. “It’s the nature of the game right there but we got one right back, so as far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing to be concerned about.” Of the handball leading up to the goal, Stuart said it definitely came off Tuiofea’s hand but she thinks the referee didn’t see it. Regardless of the missed call, the Titans responded immediately to the adversity with a stunning bit of play for the game-winning goal just minutes later. Having already assisted on Patterson’s goal in the first half, Titan junior defender Colleen Ortega lofted another wellweighted pass into the path of senior forward Eric Mazeau. Gaining the byline, Mazeau drove a low cross towards fellow senior Nikki McCants at the Bulldogs’ near post. With a defender draped tightly over her, McCants showed the presence of mind to let the ball run through her legs, freezing both her defender and the Gonzaga goalkeeper, and allowing West to smash it home from 10 yards out to give CSUF a 2-1 lead in the match’s 74th minute. “It’s just part of our plan,” West said of her goal following the match. “We have a girl running to the front post and I was on the back post covering anything that slipped through. So I was just in the right place and my other teammates did their jobs right, so it was a pretty easy goal set up for me and I just had to tap it in.” Stuart had two saves in the match and earned her second win of the season. Tombari finished with six saves in the match and suffered the loss. The win means the Titans finish their non-conference schedule with a 5-3-3 record. They’ll begin league play on Oct. 4, when the University of Hawai’i visits Titan Stadium. For more information on the CSUF women’s soccer team and all Titan Athletics, go to FullertonTitans.com.

CSUF rides Waves to tie Titans withstand shooting barrage from Pepperdine and earn draw in overtime ABRAHAM JAUREGUI Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team tied 1-1 with Pepperdine Friday afternoon at Tari Frahm Rokus Field in sunny Malibu, California in front of 532 fans. The draw brings the Titans’ record to 4-3-3 and gives the Waves a record of 5-3-2. Last week, the Titans forced overtime and came out victorious 2-1 when they visited USC, whereas Pepperdine was coming off a 3-1 win at home versus the Fresno State Bulldogs. Sophomore forward Christina Burkenroad gave the Titans a first half lead by scoring her second goal of the season in the 39th minute of the game after senior midfielder Erica Mazeau assisted her with a great pass. Unfortunately, the Titans couldn’t hold on to the lead when Waves’ freshman Kristen Rodriguez scored the equalizer goal in the 86th minute of the game and sent the Titans into their second straight double overtime, and the third in their past four games. After a first half goal by Pepperdine was called back on an offside call, Mazeau lobbed an on-point pass to an attacking Burkenroad about 20 yards in front of the goal. A running Burkenroad faked the Waves’ defender right and shot a left footed blast just inside the box to the top near post of the net. Waves’ freshman goalkeeper Hannah Seabert was able to dive and put her gloves on the ball and deflected the shot, but the ball still found its way into the back of the net.

Sophomore Morgan Batcheller runs down a loose ball. Batcheller has helped earn five shutouts for the Titans.

The aggressive Pepperdine offense kept the pressure on the Titans in the first half, outshooting them 11-5 and earning seven corner kicks compared to none for the Titans. In the second half, the Titans were once again on the defensive hoping to sneak out of Malibu with a win despite being outshot by the Waves 14-3. The Titans’ seemingly impenetrable defense and goalkeeping just couldn’t hang on in the second half and conceded when the game was nearly over. Rodriguez took a long pass from teammate Lynn Williams, ran past two Titan defenders, and from a tough angle inside the box, quickly launched a shot that snugged inside the far post of the net. Overtime continued the onslaught of Wave offense outshooting the Titans 9-1, ending

the match with a 34-9 shooting advantage for Pepperdine. This was the second straight match where the offensive minded Waves surpassed the 30 shot mark. Titan senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic played a phenomenal game recording a career-high 15 saves for the day, bringing her record between the pipes to 3-3-3. In comparison, Waves goalkeeper Hannah Seabert only recorded five saves during the game. Her performance brought her record to 5-3-2 in the net so far. Maricic’s 15 saves is the second-most saves in Titans history, behind only Heidi Clauss’ 21 saves, also against Pepperdine in 1993. After Friday’s performance, Maricic added to her Big West Conference leading 57 saves and

.891 save percentage. During the 110-minute long match, the frustrated Titans were penalized for 15 total fouls, including a yellow card in the 76th minute for freshman defender Jazzmin Mancilla. The home team, on the other hand, had five fouls called against them. The tough and resilient Titans now move on to interleague play in the Big West Conference, first taking on Hawai’i at Titan Stadium on Friday at 7 p.m. Heading into Big West Conference play, the Titans are tied for last in goals scored and will definitely be looking to increase the scoring as they make a push towards a Big West Conference Tournament berth.

Titan hockey feel roar of LMU Lions in tight loss CSUF suffers first loss of season against LMU despite holding two leads ANDY LUNDIN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton men’s ice hockey team was defeated for the first time this season after suffering a close loss to the rival Lions of Loyola Marymount University on Saturday night. Though both the Titans and Lions played evenly against each other throughout a majority of the game, it was the Lions that managed to pull off the victory in the end despite falling behind twice during the game. They managed to beat CSUF by a final score of 3-2. Though LMU was battling injuries to some of their top players, the Titans (3-1) were unable to stifle the Lions who were hungry for a win after losing to CSUF the previous night at home. Goals from Lions forward Parker Costin and his brother Hunter, a defenseman, showed that the team’s offense was still a force to be reckoned with. After a scoreless 20 minutes to start the game, the Titans managed to be the first team on the board early in the second period with a power play goal from defenseman Trevor Nielson. However, the Lions were able to answer back during the same period with a power play goal of their own.

the ice and the puck found the back of the net. Parker Costin quickly found the puck during the commotion following a rebound and lifted it over Heethuis for the Lions’ first goal of the night and his third on the season. “We kind of had a few breakdowns in some key parts of the game. We got away from our game a little bit in the first period,” Titans’ forward Taylor Castle said. “It allowed them to get a little bit of momentum, it worked against us obviously.” Despite the Lions gaining some momentum during the later half of the third period, the Titans managed to give themselves another lead with seven minutes remaining in the game on a goal from defenseman Trevor Cigich. The Lions promptly responded to the goal when a give-andgo play from forward Jack Hymen allowed Hunter Costin to bring LMU back into the game with the team’s second tally, tying the game up once more at 2-2. With both teams down a man and the game winding down, Hunter Costin was able to take advantage of the extra space on the ice and found a way to skate in alone to the front of the CSUF net to score his second goal of the night with only 46 seconds remaining in the game. This score gave LMU what would be the game-winning goal, as well as their only lead for the night. With time running out, CSUF risked giving up a goal when they pulled Heethuis to add an extra attacker on the ice

in a last-ditch effort to even the game. Unlike the Lions, however, the Titans were unable to find a way to tie up the game after trailing by a goal. For the next week’s games, Castle said that the Titans will prepare by “going over how we’re going to close out games. We gotta find ways to win. When we’re up by a goal with five minutes left, you can’t let those games slip away, especially in conference play.” The game was also the first game of the season for the Lions’ goalie Vittorio Banez. He was strong in net during his first outing as a Lion this season, stopping 19 of the 21 shots he faced. CSUF looked to garner a second two-game series sweep, having beaten USC in back-toback games the prior week, but were unsuccessful with LMU’s comeback victory. The Titans will look to recover from the heartbreaking loss when they return home to face off against another West Coast Hockey Conference rival team, the Cal State Long Beach 49ers, for another two-game series next week on Oct. 4 and 5. The Titans will be on the road where they are a perfect 2-0, playing at Lakewood Ice Arena for Friday’s game, which is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Saturday’s game will be a home game at East West Ice Palace in Artesia and is scheduled for 9:15 p.m. For more information on the CSUF ice hockey team, go to TitanIceHockey.com.

Titans find hole in Canyon’s defense CSUF avoids giving up a late equalizer and hang on to earn first win streak RODRIGO RUIZ For the Daily Titan

For the Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer squad, a 2-0 first half helped hold off a late surge from the Antelopes of Grand Canyon University for a 3-2 win. The Titans have scored first in the last five games. In three of those matches the opposition has come from behind and stolen potential victories from the Titans. Saturday night’s matchup against Grand Canyon University was another nerve-rattling encounter that left a nice taste for lovers of all things drama. Yet the first ever meeting between GCU and CSUF was a game that saw both teams attacking freely in open space with little inhibitions. Both teams showed a rapid and direct approach to offensive execution. The teams were seesawing for supremacy throughout the game. The Titans were in control in the first half and the Antelopes came back to life in the second half. The Titans capitalized convincingly in the first half. CSUF jumped out to an early lead for the sixth time in eight regular season games so far this season and after 40 minutes they led by two goals. “I thought our first half was excellent and we scored two goals that were very good,” Head Coach Bob Ammann said. “We created a lot; we had a lot of chances.” Junior right winger Ian Ramos scored off a Spencer Johnson corner kick in the 25th minute of the match. Ramos positioned near the far post and outmuscled his marker to strike the opening goal off the encounter. The Titans have been resourceful with their set pieces so far this season. They have scored five of their

12 goals off of corners in 2013. “It’s all about the service, service is the key. We have made it a point with the players we have the ability. We have to use corners for our advantage,” Ammann said. Seven minutes later, in the 32nd minute, junior forward Marc Fenelus received a gift from the Antelopes’ defense. Fenelus was about 12 yards away from goal, anticipating a cross from David Beary on the right side. Fenelus looked to be in a losing battle against two taller center backs who were marking him very closely. As soon as the ball reached Fenelus, both center backs stumbled and lost their balance. This mishap allowed him plenty of time and space to pound the ball home, making it 2-0 for the Titans. Recent history would come to haunt the Titans in the second half. So far in the season, the Titans have had trouble with putting games away. Just like in previous games, the opposition responded strongly and the Antelopes attempted to steal a victory. Grand Canyon’s leading goal scorer Kyle Ciliento narrowed the gap to 2-1 in the 57th minute. The Antelopes were noticeably weary before Ciliento’s goal, but their goal re-energized them. GCU outshot the Titans 10-4 in the second half but the Titans weathered the brief storm. Later in the 67th minute, freshman midfielder Steven Ortiz hit the eventual game winner and scored his first goal of the season, making the score 3-1. The play began on a counterattack and Fenelus was penetrating on the right flank intent on scoring, but opted to pass behind the six-yard box. “When I had the ball I lifted up my head and saw the goal really close to me but I wasn’t in the right angle so I decided to dribble and make the cross. I didn’t lift up my head when I made it and I’m glad Steven put

it in the back of the net,” Fenelus said of his assist. The Titans were still in hot water due to Alberto SanchezGarcia taking advantage of a Titan misplaced pass. Goalkeeper Robbie Hannon, making his second start in a row, was beaten off a strong right-footed strike. “The goals weren’t goalkeeper issues, more field player issues that we need to minimize,” Ammann said. “Their second goal made it a challenge.” GCU’s second half goals injected them with adrenaline and left the Titans with growing anxiety. “I think, perhaps, we got a little bit complacent. It was

nerve-racking after they scored the second goal,” Ammann said. The Titans hung on after a fervent barrage in the closing stages from GCU. Fresh off of a two-game winning streak, the team’s spirits are much improved from earlier in the season. “We’re feeling really good

with the two wins that we’ve strung together, we’ve definitely deserved them,” junior Mark Vasquez said. “It builds the team’s spirit, and even when we’ve had our losing streak, we always try to emphasize team spirit and keep being positive and not get ourselves down.” The next chapter for the Ti-

CSUF volleyball spiked by Hawai’i Titans fall to 0-30 against Hawai’i all-time and kept to five points in middle set TUCKER TASHJIAN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton volleyball team traveled to Hawaii on Friday for a match with the University of Hawai’i Rainbow Wahine, only to get swept in three consecutive sets. The No. 6 nationally-ranked Hawai’i team proved that their 13-1 record is legitimate as they started off Big West conference play in dominant fashion. The Titans’ record dropped to 7-6 on the season and 0-1 in conference play. Although the Titans were the recipients of a sweep in Friday’s match, they started the night off with a promising opening set. The first game went down to the wire with Hawai’i who got the 25-22 win, with 12 kills for the Titans. CSUF also recorded a gamehigh .222 hitting percentage in this set, but it was not enough to get past Hawaii who hit .282. Unfortunately the second set was a completely different story for the Titans. The Rainbow Wahine led an onslaught with 16 kills, while holding the Titans to just four. As a result, Hawai’i took the

second set easily with a 25-5 win. CSUF hit .121 in the set, with Hawaii hitting at an impressive .484 mark. The second set marked a Fullerton record low for points in a set since the rally period began in 2001 with only five points. That same statistic is a new a record for Hawai’i as well. However, the difference was that it became their record low for opposing team points since the rally period began. Following the second set, the Titans made a comeback attempt in the third set to try and salvage one final game. With a 19-19 tie towards the end of the third set, Hawai’i ended any hope the Titans had with a set and match ending 6-1 rally. The Titans couldn’t muster up enough offense in response, falling to the Rainbow Wahine 25-20 in the third and final set of the night. Three of the Titans shared the team-high of six kills for the match: Alyse Hensley, Bre Moreland and Leah Best. Freshman libero McKenna Painton recorded 10 digs for the match. Hawai’i’s senior setter Mita Uiato facilitated the sweep with a match-high 35 assists. A majority of those assists were directed towards Nikki

Taylor who had 20 kills, and an impressive .567 kill percentage. The Titans committed 21 attack errors throughout the match, and could only score 23 kills––half of Hawai’i’s total of 46. Fullerton has a forgettable history against Hawai’i. Their latest loss extended their winless streak to 0-30 alltime against the Rainbow Wahine. So far in the season the Titans have faced two nationally ranked opponents, USC and Hawai’i, and have come up winless; getting swept in three sets on both occasions.
