Sorority issued rush ban, probation CYNTHIA WASHICKO Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton sorority Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi), Zeta Alpha chapter is facing serious sanctions following a culturally inappropriate “Taco Tuesday” recruitment event last month.

On Aug. 19, the sorority held the event as part of its recruitment week training, according to the university’s administrative review. Ninety-three percent of the sorority members attended the event, and of those, 90 percent came in costume.

Some members were dressed in culturally insensitive attire, which included sarapes, sombreros and in some cases, gang costumes, said Tonantzin Oseguera, Dean of students.

Since a large majority of the members took part in the event, the chapter as a whole is being held responsible, despite the fact that the sorority did not request its members wear costumes, Oseguera said.

“In the end, we have concluded that the women were responsible for the event, that it’s definitely grossly inappropriate, and we’ve awarded a list of sanctions that they have to complete,” Oseguera said.

As a result, following an investigation from the dean of students’ division of student affairs, ADPi will face multiple sanctions, including a disciplinary probation that extends through Dec. 31, 2015.

The sorority will not be allowed to recruit new members during the fall 2014 semester, a loss of the possible 65 new members the group would otherwise have been allowed to add, said Anthony Pang, associate director in the Office of Student Life and Leadership.

During the spring 2015 semester, however, the sorority will be allowed to hold a continuous open binding process, a type of modified recruitment, but will be limited to 30 new members.

ADPi will also be ineligible to win any banner or awards during Greek Week, although they will still be allowed to participate in the philanthropic aspects of the event.

In addition, the sorority will have to take part in, and in some cases sponsor, diversity workshops and programs.

As part of this requirement, ADPi must develop a cultural competency workshop that will be included in the new member education program each year. The chapter must coordinate a workshop for current members, which 93 percent of the sorority must attend.

The sorority’s members must attend a bystander intervention workshop, meant to encourage students to mention their concerns to their peers before an issue can develop.

“One of the pieces that is important for all our students, but in particular organizations––if you see that something is wrong, if you feel something is wrong, you should feel comfortable enough to say it to your peers, to call out your president, to say it to your other members,” Oseguera said.

After a night of jazz and salsa music, CSUF performers finish off this year’s Concert Under the Stars with a rendition of Happy by Pharrel Williams.

Concert Under the Stars: “All That Jazz” shakes things up

Grammy-winner brings jazz, rock and classical music to CSUF’s major fall fundraiser

RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan The Concert Under the Stars fundraising event proved to be a memorable evening filled with spectacular musical numbers, amazing singers and thrilling dance performances.

The event even included a special appearance by salsa-dancing CSUF President Mildred García.

The annual concert is meant to raise money for student scholarships and programs.

The reserved seating was sold out and all that was left was lawn seating.

However, even the lawn seating was filled on Saturday night.

Along with musical entertainment, there were two food trucks and a planetarium tent, where attendees could walk through and stargaze.

Led by Grammy-winning jazz pianist and composer Bill Cunliffe, performers played musical numbers following jazz through the ages.

Cunliffe said that it’s important for our art students to know the classics, but also to be well versed in modern musical notes so that whatever comes their way, they will be prepared.

The award-winning composer said he firmly believes that if students continue through life doing what they love, then they will truly succeed.

The company dazzled and guided us through the ages with musical hits.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow was sung by associate music professor, Patricia Prunty, then a quick change of pace had the audience swaying their hips to Stevie Wonder’s My Cherie Amour and Sir Duke. Faculty member Mark Goodrich, Ph.D. sung

Inflatable planetarium debuts Stars came out Saturday when the 23-foot, $100,00 planetarium was unveiled

ERIC GANDARILLA Daily Titan Enter the pitch black dome, settle in and take a seat.

A technician flips a switch turning on a projector, lighting up the room.

The walls that were completely black a couple of seconds ago now reveal a night sky full of stars as seen from Dan Black Hall, a scene normally foreign to Fullerton due to the city’s light pollution.

What’s the cost of bringing stars to a starless city sky? $100,000.

Astronomy students will get a close-up view of galaxies, globular clusters and constellations in a 23-foot wide inflatable planetarium made possible by a donation from Dan Black, a Cal State Fullerton physics alumnus.

Instructors will be able

to place students right next to the stars, planets or solar systems they are reading about rather than relying solely on a book to explain visuals.

“Astronomy 101—we spend a lot of time trying to understand the patterns of stars moving through the sky,” said Jocelyn Read, assistant professor of physics.

“Its really hard to explain this in the classroom.”

Along with galactic movements, the projector can be used to explore things on the most microscopic levels. Biology courses can become more engaging when the professor can show how certain cells move throughout a body.

“It’s just like a regular video projector, but it’s got a fisheye kind of lens on the projection system so it covers the whole 180 degrees of sky,” Read said.

ADPi: Sorority cannot recruit this fall CONTINUED FROM

ADPi will be required to develop and showcase a campaign in line with the “We’re a Culture, Not a Costume” program that began in 2011 at Ohio

University. The program, which features posters of young people juxtaposed next to costumes portraying stereotypes of their ethnicity or culture, is meant to combat cultural stigmas portrayed

through costumes.

No members will be expelled from the sorority as part of CSUF’s sanctions, in part due to the large number of members who took part in the offense, Oseguera

said. However, the national chapter’s investigation may result in different actions, she said.

“Our approach with this has been very intentional. We have worked and crafted

an approach that’s about helping the women to learn and to be as receptive to learn and move forward,” Oseguera said.

“Our intention is not to shame these young women.”

The national chapter headquarters has been conducting its own investigation into the incident, Oseguera said.

Calls to ADPi members were not returned.

COURTESY OF CAL STATE FULLERTON

The CSUF Irvine satellite campus will make use of additional buildings for more course offerings and high-tech classrooms.

Irvine expansion promises more options for students More building space will create room for 8,000 students and additional program offerings

CIARA GUTIERREZ Daily Titan Students are one step closer to reaping the rewards of last year’s 12.35 acre land purchase in Irvine.

Cal State Fullerton is now the sole tenant of two buildings 20 miles south of the main campus. The $30.5 million purchase was in an effort to expand CSUF’s Irvine Campus.

Previously, the first floor of 1 Banting, one of the two buildings, was occupied by OneWest Bank, a mortgage lender.

The bank’s departure means more available space for classes and complete programs at the South County satellite campus.

Over 75 percent of students who were asked in a survey done by CSUF’s Social Science Research Center said they would go to the Irvine campus if they offered complete programs.

“Last year we had 12,000 Cal State Fullerton students who lived within a 10-mile radius of the Irvine campus. That’s 12,000 Titans who could be coming here because we are more convenient for them,” said Robert Flores,

assistant dean for student affairs.

Flores also attaches these high numbers with the campus’ inability to provide complete programs for higher education and his hopes are high that the expansion will change this.

“

Once the expansion is complete ... we will have the capacity to have at least 8,000 students enrolled at the Irvine campus ...

“

The Fullerton Police Department could follow the Anaheim Police Department in requiring police officers to wear body cameras while on patrol.

On Tuesday, the Fullerton City Council will consider Police Chief Dan Hughes’ request to purchase 140 body cameras for $650,354.

Officers would be required to wear the small cameras on the front of their uniforms during police encounters. The cameras would capture video and audio evidence and would replace the digital audio recorders currently worn by Fullerton Police Department officers.

Funds for the cameras would come from the department’s asset seizure account.

ROBERT FLORES Assistant Dean for Student Affairs “Once the expansion is complete and we are fully operational, we will have the capacity to have at least 8,000 students enrolled at the Irvine campus, which will more than double our size,” Flores said.

A committee is being formed to review 26 proposals created for possible academic programs and research centers. There will not be a set plan for the building until the committee agrees on a proposal and sends their recommendations to President Mildred García and her cabinet for approval.

Although the amount of added classrooms is pending a decision on one of the proposals, each classroom will have an entirely wireless computer system–including a digital projector and document viewer. The campus will also include teleconferencing rooms that allow professors to teach the same class at the same time in two different locations.

Cooper hopes students will better familiarize themselves with the campus and see the potential benefits of attending a smaller, more intimate campus.

In order to invite students to share their opinions and suggestions regarding the campus, Cooper hosts a monthly Pizza with the Dean series. The next event will be held on Oct. 7 in the Irvine campus lobby at 5:30 p.m.

Earthquake reinforcement is currently underway for the 1 Banting building and will continue for the next couple of months to assure the proper safety codes are met. Once the reinforcements are completed, the university will take the approved proposal and begin renovating the inside of the building. The tentative date for the building to be finished is January 2016, Cooper said.

For the record: A graphic accompanying a story on historical presidential records incorrectly identified the start of William B. Langsdorf’s presidency at Cal State Fullerton as 1957. Langsdorf was appointed president in 1959.

The militant Islamic group known as ISIS released a third beheading video on Saturday night.

This time, the victim was 44-year-old British aid worker David Haines, who was captured by ISIS in Syria in March 2013. Haines’ killer appears to be the same man who was in the videos showing the beheading of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

Titled “A Message to the Allies of America,” the video features Haines reading a statement blaming the British government for his death and mentioning British Prime Minister David Cameron’s cooperation with the United States specifically.

President Barack Obama released a statement late Saturday night condemning Haines’ execution.

Law requires space for cyclists A California law requiring drivers to leave three feet of space around cyclists goes into effect Tuesday, according to the Orange County Register.

Drivers who violate the law will receive a $35 fine and a collision with a cyclist will result in a $220 fine.

Including court fees, fines can end up costing up to triple those figures.

About a dozen cyclists are killed on Orange County roads each year.

Some cycling advocates feel that, while the step is in the right direction, it does not go far enough.

About 24 states have similar laws.

While the planetarium’s debut was a success, it was not without a few minor technical hiccups.

During the first presentation of the night, the room felt like a sauna. However, once the sun set and the temperature dropped, the

The projector was originally supposed to be housed inside a custom-ordered tent in CSUF colors, but the tent was not able to make it past customs in Hong Kong to make it to campus on time.

Improving the journey through general education DEANNA GOMEZ Daily Titan General education courses could become a little less general for some Cal State Fullerton freshmen this year.

CSUF has started a Pathways to Success pilot program, which will attempt to add coherence to the CSUF GE catalogue, said Volker Janssen, associate professor of history.

Students in the program

choose one of four different pathways: globalization, sustainability, politics and power or food, health and well-being.

Students are not required to take any extra courses for the program. Instead, each path acts as a theme, and students can gear their GE class choices to fall within one of the four options.

Courses themselves won’t change, but the themes of each pathway will be woven into the course subjects. Students who complete three courses in their pathway will receive a certificate.

The program is organized by both full-time and parttime faculty members. Janssen coordinates the program and said he has high hopes for the program’s impact and participating students.

“What we hope to add to their experience is a sense of coherence, a sense of purpose and maybe inspire them to think about the way in which their college education can facilitate career choices,” Janssen said.

For example, Janssen explained that a biology student can choose the power and politics path. By taking courses in this path, they can

be inspired to think about how biotechnology firms deal with government regulations, a connection the student might not have made without the pathway courses.

Since the program is still a pilot program, there may only be six or seven students in a pathway class, although the classes are still open to students not in the program.

Students interested in being a part of the Pathways to Success program can still join in the spring 2015 semester. Interested students should contact Randy Montes at ramontes@fullerton.edu.

MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

A gallery honoring the 100 year anniversary of World War I is on display in the Salz-Pollak Atrium Gallery now through Sept. 29.

WWI exhibit displayed in Pollak library CYNTHIA PLEITEZ Daily Titan A Pollak Library exhibit curated in honor of the war’s 100th anniversary, presents a rare collection of battlefield diaries, photos, propaganda, accolades and personal mementos.

“The Great War: A Community Remembrance of the First World War, 19141918,” features French medals honoring heroes are contrasted with photos of disfigured WWI soldiers.

A chilling photo created by mask-maker Anna Coleman depicts artificially constructed faces to be worn by disfigured soldiers.

A stark comparison to the current voting rights of women is brought to the forefront with an issue of the Stars and Stripes newspaper published in 1918.

Titled “America’s Women May Soon Realize Hope of Suffrage,” it covers the president’s support for the Senate to pass the 19th Amendment.

The exhibit also presents a photo of Marie Marvignt, female pilot for France’s Air Patrol, who pioneered the idea of an air ambulance and was the first woman to fly.

The exhibit has earned positive reactions from Cal State Fullerton students, some of whom had neither known about nor had attended any of the Pollak Library exhibits in the past.

“I think it’s awesome

that we get a piece of history so that we can just see so close,” student William Kim said. “It really is like a historical thing, and a privilege that we can see all these things first hand.”

The propagandic push for Americans to voluntarily conserve food during WWI is also represented by a piece that reads, “Write to the National War Garden Commission, Washington, D.C. for free books on gardening, canning and drying.”

Attendees were drawn to the rare nature and historical significance of the items on display.

“It’s an interesting exhibit,” student Gene Shockley said. “There’s an iron cross, which is one of the highest things they could get in Germany at the time.”

Shockley said she stumbled upon the exhibit as he passed by the adjacent Starbucks.

The curated exhibits presented throughout the school year by the Pollak Library are free for Cal State Fullerton students, even though some students are discovering the exhibits for the first time.

“I’ve walked by and just kind of overlooked it,” Kim said. “It’s definitely something that everyone should check out if they have a chance to.”

The exhibit will be on display through Sept. 29 at the Salz-Pollak Atrium Gallery.

Destiny exceeds in art direction and technical performance, but falls short in mission variety

DAVID MCLAREN Daily Titan

Destiny is a video game caught between worlds. It’s a genre bender, mixing elements of both a first-person shooter with the role-playing elements of a massive multiplayer online game like World of Warcraft; however it succeeds in neither category.

It is impossible not to draw comparisons with Bungie’s last game franchise, Halo. Destiny feels like Halo. The physics are similar to Halo, down to the floaty weightless jumping.

The gun play is similar to Halo, from the three-roundburst battle rifle to the powerful pistol.

The art direction is unique, with locales such as Earth’s moon, complete with a lunar base as well as a terraformed Venus with vibrant colors and vacant structures.

The technical

performance is smooth, with other players popping in and out as players seamlessly move from the larger open map into instanced areas unique to the player and their party for the current mission at hand.

The voice acting is well done, with the talent from some top level actors such as Peter Dinklage, Gina Torres and Nathan Fillion.

All of these elements combine to create a rather well-polished game.

Where the game falls flat is the mission variety, story and the complete lack of set-piece moments.

From the very first mission, the player meets their floating robotic voice box companion, the general mission structure involves moving from point A to point B until finding something that requires the floating robotic voice box to sit there and decrypt some techno babble encryption, while the player fights off waves of enemies.

The player might have to fight a boss character, often a slightly bigger, beefier

Bungie

Bungie’s newest game, Destiny, is similar to its last game franchise, Halo, but is able to stand out on its own.

version of the typical enemies they’ve already shot in the face.

Each mission finds the player treading familiar ground multiple times with the only deviation involving taking a left at a fork rather than a right.

The story itself lacks clear direction as to what to do and why, with small nonsensical “exposition” from the floating robotic voice box.

Entering the final act of the story, the player has no idea why he or she is trying to find this place called the Black Garden, nor why it requires talking to a couple of snobby space nomads delivering the head of a slain enemy.

A large amount of the story is delivered on the back of cards collected in the game’s grimoire. However,

these cards can only be read either on Bungie’s website or from their mobile app available for both iOS and Android.

Due to the piecemeal nature of unlocking the cards in non-linear order and the cumbersome interface of reading text off the backs of cards, it ends up being much more trouble than it’s worth.

Overall, Destiny has some cool concepts, many of which could benefit other game franchises. It handles co-op in an interesting way, and the ability to upgrade armor and guns allows lower-level gear to remain relevant at higher levels.

Unfortunately, its lack of mission variety ends up making the game an exercise in repetition. Hopefully the inevitable sequel can learn from its mistakes.

Festival showcases LGBTQ films Annual Long Beach QFilms Festival shows Letter to Anita and reveals LGBTQ hardships

TROI MCADORY Daily Titan Ronni Sanlo is a passionate activist for the gay community who has spoken out about her own personal trials with being a lesbian. Her documentary, Letter to Anita, was shown at the LGBTQ Center of Long Beach at the annual QFilms Festival on Staurday.

“I think if I didn’t have my anger, I might have just laid down and died,” Sanlo said.

Sanlo is an activist who is not only outspoken about her own story but also helps those who are struggling with coming out. She has created a program called the Lavender Graduation, which celebrates LGBTQIA college students who have graduated.

In the film, Sanlo is seen facing harsh criticism and losing a lot of important people in her life because of her sexuality.

To make matters more heartbreaking, the film shows her being faced with having her children taken away from her because she was considered an unfit parent.

Sanlo married and had children with a man in fear of what her family and friends would say if they knew she was a lesbian. After finally coming out, Sanlo and her husband divorced.

During this time, homosexuals were not permitted by law to be parents. In Sanlo’s

home state of Florida, singer and Miss Oklahoma winner Anita Bryant took to the courts to voice her strong displeasure with the gay community.

Bryant gathered the state of Florida to protest, and in 1979, Sanlo lost custody of her two children with very limited and supervised visitation rights.

“Initially, for the first few years it was awful,” Sanlo said. “It was horrible, my life was a living hell. I was very angry, I couldn’t keep a job.”

The film goes further into detail about Sanlo’s financial and emotional struggles.

For a period of time, Sanlo was homeless and on food stamps, which caused her great embarrassment and disappointment, especially on the rare occasions she was allowed to see her children.

Sanlo’s children were

raised to hate her and those who were like her. When her children were 12 and nine, she saw them for the last time until they were adults in their 20s.

For Sanlo, this was the final straw. She decided she would find a way to stand up for the civil rights of homosexuals.

Sanlo eventually found herself a job with education benefits that she took full advantage of.

Though she began to do public training and start her journey, she still harbored a lot of anger that made her physically ill.

To ease her distress, Sanlo started a 12-step program and realized she placed a lot of blame on different people, more specifically, Bryant. Once Sanlo came to this realization, she was able to forgive those who had wronged her.

Sanlo wrote a letter to Bryant informing her of how she felt over the years, which is where her documentary gets its title.

Sanlo is now the director of the LGBT Center at UCLA and still receives emails from past students and is delighted that they are taking what they learned and are helping others.

“What fills my heart is that they’re all doing well. They’re moving forward in their lives and they’re going to pay it forward, whatever it was that I did for them,” Sanlo said.

Sanlo believes the most important messages from the film are that the LGBTQ community has a very important history, and if people forget this, the past will repeat itself. Individuals and the community must move forward and let go of their anger.

OPINION Saddleback college ready for war

PAGE 5 MONDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

The recent addition of a MRAP at Saddleback College is unnecessary

JAMES SMITH Daily Titan Are you sick and tired of the constant shootouts, bombings and landmines laying around at your college campus?

Saddleback College must have been, because that could be the only explanation for their recent acquisition of a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle, also known as a MRAP. The recent purchase of the military grade MRAP was part of the Department of Defense’s 1033 program, which provides surplus DoD military equipment to state and local civilian law enforcement agencies for use in counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism operations, and to enhance officer safety. They are currently the only college campus in the nation to own a MRAP. Undoubtedly, Saddleback’s new MRAP will strike fear into the hearts of the countless drug dealers and terrorists that make up the student body at Saddleback. The campus police officers will also be safer than ever from any stray frisbees or overzealous Greenpeace volunteers. Despite the obvious benefits of having a 38,000 pound war machine on a community college

COURTESY OF BOINGBOING.NET

Saddleback College’s Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle was acquired through the Department of Defense’s 1033 program.

The program has given California $92,540,238.45 in surplus equipment since 2011.

campus, the effectiveness and need for such a vehicle is certainly questionable.

Saddleback College is not alone in their ownership of excess military weapons.

The Los Angeles Unified School District is in possession of 61 M16 assault rifles, three grenade launchers and their own MRAP, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Steve Zipperman, chief of L.A. Unified’s police department, assures that despite owning the launchers, the Los Angeles school police never had any intention of lobbing grenades at anyone and would not be used against students ever, according to a report from the Times.

Zipperman said a reason why the school police department owns

irrelevant whether or not Yelp is altering reviews with receipt of advertising revenue.

She said the company should be able to move and change reviews as it wishes for a price.

Yelp shouldn’t be let off the hook just yet. Claims that the site is manipulating and removing reviews in a pay-to-play system need further investigation.

Greater transparency into how Yelp’s algorithm system works should also be demanded.

It’s important to question and find answers about the reliability of Yelp and similar sites because people should be able to trust the reviews from sites that use user-generated content.

If advertising is a major criterion used to determine the placement and types of reviews for a business, then Yelp isn’t living up to its intended purpose.

As of April 2014, the company’s stock had fallen more than 12 percent since the FTC released a letter with more than 2,000 complaints against the company.

Many of those complaints had to do with advertising practices similar to those mentioned by the plaintiffs in the circuit court lawsuit.

In February 2009, a Yelp sales representative was recorded promising business owners a change in placement of bad reviews in exchange for the purchase of advertising, according to the East Bay Express.

Despite these incidents, the company bills itself as being the place where people can find the best businesses in any category, saying, “People use Yelp to search for everything from the city’s tastiest burger to the most renowned cardiologist.”

With its growing track record of questionable business practices, it’s difficult to take this sentiment seriously or to blindly believe Yelp reviews.

How do we know that the burger joint down the street and the highly-ranked cardiologist aren’t coughing up dough for their favorable ratings?

Great restaurants and businesses could have their negative reviews

such lethal military weaponry is because they engage in mutual-aid pacts with other police agencies, and the ability to move those launchers out of storage might come in handy during mutual-aid operations.

Zipperman’s explanation for his rainy-day grenade launchers is far from a justified one. In light of the recent conflict in

Ferguson, there has been much scrutiny over the militarization of police departments, and this example shows that there is an unnecessary stockpiling of weapons occurring in police departments.

With that being said, municipal police departments do need to be equipped to handle any possible situation, which means, in some cases, the ownership and

use of military weapons.

The North Hollywood shootout of 1997 is a clear example of why police agencies do need military equipment. The incident involved two incredibly well-armed gunmen whose body armor and firepower far outmatched that of the local police, allowing them to carry out a 44-minute rampage. The ineffectiveness of the police small arms allowed the two gunmen to each be shot over 10 times and still carry on.

As a result of this incident, the DoD supplied the department with assault rifles and the LAPD started placing kevlar plating into the door panel of its patrol cars.

There is a fine line between preparedness and excess. While major police departments are usually justified in their acquisition and use of most equipment, a nine man community college police department owning a military vehicle definitely crosses the line of excess.

Aside from lending its MRAP to neighboring police departments, there are almost no practical situations where Saddleback’s MRAP could be used effectively or tactically.

Additionally, equipment and vehicles like this require extra training, which means that only a small percentage of officers in the department will have access to the vehicle.

Yelp’s actions not illegal but unethical Judge rules that it is irrelevant whether or not the site alters reviews for money

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan Three judges in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled in favor of popular review site Yelp after a group of small business owners filed a lawsuit against the company.

The owners of the small businesses claim that Yelp had written negative reviews of their businesses and that the website had manipulated the placement of other reviews in order to get them to purchase advertising.

Yelp maintains that it bears no preference toward those who choose to advertise.

The business owners who filed suit brought contrary evidence to the court, claiming that the nature and placement of the reviews on the site would change based on whether they accepted or rejected advertising offers.

In a statement, Judge Marsha Berzon said it’s

highlighted because they opted not to cave to the review giant’s advertising swindle.

Conversely, terrible businesses with poor customer service might have their more positive reviews highlighted simply because they agreed to pay.

As a publicly-traded company, Yelp no doubt has responsibilities to its shareholders to

somehow make money.

However, the standard online advertising model might not be the best way to generate income for a site that is supposed to be an unbiased judge of businesses.

Yelp could charge a subscription fee to its users for its services as easily as it could charge businesses for advertising.

If advertising isn’t really one of the contributing factors to how Yelp assesses which reviews get posted and which don’t, then the site has to prove it. It needs to present the information in a way that’s accessible and easy to verify for the general public.

Without transparency, the company’s reviews should be taken with a grain of salt.

Titans earn first win of 2014 CSUF offense explodes against Fresno State

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team earned their first victory of the season in dominant fashion with a 3-0 romp against the Fresno State Bulldogs.

To make the win even more impressive, the Titans went into a hostile environment in Bulldog Stadium and emerged victorious for the first time in 2014.

It was a balanced scoring effort for the Titans, who bounced back from a slow first half with three second-half goals by three different players.

The Titans thoroughly dominated the Bulldogs, outshooting them 13-6 and holding a 6-2 advantage on corner kicks.

Fullerton continued their road trip on Sunday evening, traveling to Loyola Marymount to take on the Lions (3-1-1).

The Titans’ offensive woes returned Sunday as they fell to the Lions 1-0 in two overtimes.

While fighting hard through regulation and the first overtime, CSUF’s lack of offense doomed them on the road against a tough West Coast Conference opponent.

Freshman forward Sarah

“

Fullerton was shutout for the third time this year, and they have only scored more than one goal once in the 2014 season.

“

The first goal of the game came in the 68th minute when junior defender Morgan Batcheller received a pass from Brianna Chapman and fired it past Bulldogs goalkeeper Domenique Banta.

Just two minutes later, sophomore Ali White received a perfect feed from defender Jazzmin Mancilla and padded Fullerton’s lead with another goal.

The Titans put the final nail in the coffin with a goal off a penalty shot in the 84th minute from senior midfielder Chelsey Patterson to officially put the game out of reach at 3-0.

Fullerton goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart recorded her second shutout of the season, only having to make one save in her 90 minutes in goal.

Sanger delivered the dagger for the Lions in the 109th minute, sending the Titans home with a sour taste in their mouths.

Stuart was solid again in net for the Titans, making two saves early before letting the game-winner get by in the second overtime period.

Both Stuart and her freshman counterpart Morgan Bertsch have played well this season, allowing a combined nine goals in their eight games.

Despite their success in the net, the Titans have been unable to capitalize with timely goals to earn wins.

Fullerton was shutout for the third time this year, and they have scored more than one goal only once in the 2014 season.

No Titan player has more

than one goal thus far in 2014, a remarkable statistic that points directly to the team’s struggles on the offensive end.

CSUF will return home on Thursday night when the Idaho State Bengals come to town.

The Titans will hope to solve some of their offensive woes against a Big Sky opponent coming off a 5-4 victory over the University of Hawaii.

Fullerton will also be seeking their first win at Titan Stadium, where they are 0-3-1 in 2014.

With only three games remaining before Big West Conference play begins, the Titans will need to find consistent form on offense if they hope to earn a bid into their second consecutive NCAA tournament.

The Titans currently have the worst overall record in the Big West Conference.

CSUF finished 8-7-7 overall in 2013, good for fourth in the Big West.

Fullerton used two overtime victories to win the conference tournament and earn a bid to play the No. 17 Stanford Cardinal in the NCAA tournament.

If CSUF hopes to make a repeat appearance in the prestigious NCAA tournament, they will need to find some of the comraderie that the 2013 squad possessed.

With such a slow start to the season, a postseason berth is becoming more and more unlikely by the day.

Head Coach Demian Brown certainly has his work cut out going forward, but his team has the experience and leadership to turn the season around before conference play begins.

Edberg returns to lead CSUF women’s golf Titan women’s golf opens the 2014-15 season in Minnesota for an invitational Monday

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s golf team will begin their season Monday at the Minikahda Country Club for the Minnesota Invitational.

Play will begin Monday with 36 holes and will conclude Tuesday with 18 holes.

Kent State won the 2013 Minnesota Invitational, and the Golden Flashes return this year to defend their title.

Four schools in the field finished in the top 50 in

the 2013-14 GolfStat rankings, including Georgia Regents University, Kent State, Minnesota and East Carolina.

All 14 competing teams finished in the top 100 last season.

The Titans finished 90th in the poll. Head Coach Pearl Sinn-Bonanni’s squad has only one freshman, Brittany Farrell from Mission Viejo High School.

She made it to the state championships as a senior and shot an impressive 66 at Talega Golf Course.

Farrell won the CIF Southern Section Title as a senior.

Swedish international Martina Edberg returns

after a sensational freshman campaign in which she was named the Big West Women’s Golf Freshman of the Year.

She is the first Titan to win the award in school history.

In March, she won the Juli Inkster Spartan Invite, shooting 71 in three consecutive rounds.

The win made her the first women’s golfer to win an individual title at a 54hole event since the program was reinstated in 2009-10.

She scored a 213 for the event, which was the best ever by a Titan golfer in a 54-hole event.

Edberg ended the season by winning the first Big

West Conference individual title in CSUF history.

She beat Cal State Northridge’s Clariss Guze in a thrilling one-hole playoff at the San Luis Obispo Golf and Country Club hosted by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

She was tied for second entering the final round but shot two-under par to force the playoff.

She had a scoring average of 74.81, which is the best single season in Titan history.

Edberg hopes to earn additional individual titles in the nine tournaments the Titans will play this season.

Senior Tisha Alyn-Abrea returns to wrap up her

impressive collegiate career.

She has played in every tournament since 2011 and has a 75.78 scoring average, which is the best in CSUF history among players who have played multiple seasons.

She became the first Titan women’s golfer ever to shoot a round of 69, and did so twice in the same tournament at the Price’s Give ‘Em Five Intercollegiate in October of last year.

Alyn-Abrea has 20 career top-20 finishes, which is the most in the program’s history.

She has shot under par eight times, which is second in CSUF history

behind Edberg.

Sinn-Bonanni’s team returns six golfers, two of each class, including senior Makayla Mier. Mier finished third on the team in scoring average last season and had two top-20 finishes.

She enters her third year at CSUF after transferring from Florida International University.

As a team, the Titans finished seventh at the Big West Championships last season, finishing behind UC Davis, who claimed their fifth consecutive conference title.

The Titans hope to finish in the upper half of the Big West standings this season.

CSUF men earn huge upset win After suffering a loss Friday, the Titans upset one of the top teams in the nation Sunday

BRYAN CIFUENTES Daily Titan The UNLV Invitational could not have started any better for the Titans—just not the ones from Cal State Fullerton.

The University of Detroit Titans handed the CSUF Titans (1-3-2) a heartbreaking loss to start the invitational Saturday afternoon on Johann Field in Las Vegas.

The match was the first of two for Head Coach George Kuntz’s squad this weekend as the men’s soccer team yearned for its first victory of the 2014 campaign.

Unfortunately, they fell short 2-1 in the 81st minute when freshman forward Spiro Pliakos delivered a devastating shot to complete the come-from-behind victory.

Fullerton’s Marc Fenelus led the charge, scoring the first goal of the match in the 33rd minute off a nice set-up from midfielder Ritchie Gonzalez, leading to the early score.

Less than 10 minutes later in the 42nd minute, Detroit scored the equalizer with an impressive header by defender Jason Leslie off a long Matt Ybarra free kick, tying the game at 1-1.

The game was at a stalemate for the majority of the

second half, but not due to a lack of effort as Fullerton piled on the shots with nine on goal and 22 for the game.

But similar to their other losses, all the shots in the world could not add up to a goal.

With just nine minutes remaining, Fullerton gave up the game-winning goal, which sealed their fate and marked the first time they start a season without a win in their first five games since 2010.

Game two of the UNLV Invitational looked like a headache on paper as the Titans went in facing No. 14 ranked University of Maryland Baltimore County Sunday afternoon.

With the momentum sucked completely dry in the last-minute loss on Saturday, it was no surprise that the Titans came out flat to open the game, falling behind by two goals within the first 26 minutes of play.

The second half saw a different Titan team on a mission to prove that they have the talent and ability to compete with some of the best teams in the nation.

Freshman midfielder Diego Sanchez chose a fortunate time to score his first goal of the season, netting in the 62nd minute to cut the deficit to just one goal.

UMBC is ranked for a reason though, and they proved why by answering right back with a score

The Titans responded with two goals of their own within the next five minutes.

The first score took place during the 71st minute with

a solid strike by midfielder Garrett Losee, his first of the season.

The second goal came five minutes later by junior Julian Okai, who scored on a header to equalize the game at 3-3.

As regulation came to a

close, the teams remained tied 3-3 and stayed that way until the 109th minute in double overtime when Fenelus scored his second goal of the invitational and the fourth and deciding goal for the Titans, giving them the improbable upset victory 4-3.

The win was their first victory of the season.

The Titans hope to build upon their upset victory going forward. They will look to continue their winning ways when they take on Santa Clara Friday at Titan Stadium.

Volleyball disappoints in Charleston

Women’s volleyball won its opener, but dropped a pair Saturday in South Carolina

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball came away with just one win at the College of Charleston Classic in South Carolina this weekend.

The Titans (5-5) opened the weekend with a win over the Stetson Hatters in four sets.

The first set featured eight ties and seven lead changes.

Fullerton ended up winning the set 27-25 after back-to-back service aces from senior Devin Ulmer.

Ulmer had eight of the Titans’ 65 digs in the match and four of the team’s eight service aces.

She has seven service aces thus far in 2014,

matching her total from last season where she played 59 sets.

The victory broke Stetson’s three-match winning streak.

Redshirt freshman McKenna Foster led the Hatters with 12 kills.

Freshman middle blocker Jessica Armstrong had 11 kills in her collegiate debut.

Junior Alexa Drost had a game-high 26 digs.

She has a 3.9 digs per set average, which ranks her third in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Senior middle blocker Erika White had seven of the Hatters’ 11 blocks in the match.

Her 1.03 blocks per set is second in the Atlantic Sun behind Cameron McGuire of North Florida.

Sophomore libero McKenna Painton had 19 digs

for the Titans.

Her 150 digs for the season are the most on the team by far with sophomore Paige Reed trailing with 78.

Junior middle blocker Holland Crenshaw led the Titan offense with 19 kills.

Freshman Niki Withers and junior Megan Kurz landed in double figures as well with 12 kills each.

The Titans beat Stetson despite the Hatters hitting .199 compared to Fullerton’s .177 mark.

CSUF opened play Saturday with a loss to Wake Forest in the team’s first five set match of the season.

Freshman Stephanie Buss set a new career-high in kills and hitting percentage with 15 and .609 respectively.

Junior setter Mackenzie Olsen dished out a season-high 49 assists.

After three sets, the Titans had a 2-1 lead over the Demon Deacons, but Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman’s team struggled in the fourth set.

Wake Forest led by as many as 12 points in the set and finished winning the frame 25-16.

The Titans jumped to a 9-5 lead in the third set, but the Demon Deacons went on a 5-0 run to take the lead.

A Wake Forest service error tied the set at 10, ut Ken Murczek’s team finished the fifth set on a 10-2 run, scoring five of the last six points to end the match.

Wake Forest was led by senior outside hitter Jazmen Russell, who had a gamehigh 23 kills.

She ranks fourth in the competitive Atlantic Coast Conference in that category.

Freshman libero Caroline Wolf had 18 digs to add to her team-high 118 for the season.

The freshman is second in the ACC in digs.

Four Titans had double-digit kills, with Withers leading the way with 16.

Painton had a season-low four digs in the match, which opened the door for Ulmer to lead the team with 10 digs.

Fullerton ended the weekend with a three-set loss to hosts College of Charleston.

The Cougars held the Titans to a season-low .047 hitting percentage and took advantage of 28 attack errors.

Withers and Crenshaw had a combined 26 digs, while the rest of the team had just eight kills and made 16 errors.

Painton returned to form

and had 14 digs after a disappointing performance in the first match of the day.

The match was closer than the score showed.

There were 17 ties and six lead changes.

The Titans gained a 2014 lead in the second set over the host Cougars, but six attack errors cost Fullerton the set.

Junior outside hitter Melissa Morello led the Cougars in kills and digs with 16 and 15, respectively.

Senior libero Andi Zbojniewicz only had 11 digs, which was surprising considering she is tied for first in the Colonial Athletic Association with 141 on the season.

The Titans will return to Titan Gym for the first time since August 30 to play in the Fullerton Classic against Yale, Georgetown and UCLA this weekend.
