TSU to present expansion options Three design options for the $20 million project will be available for student input

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan Students at Cal State Fullerton will soon have the opportunity to provide input on possible designs for the $20 million expansion of the Titan Student Union. Three completed designs for the renovation will be available for viewing during “drop-in” opportunities beginning at the end of this month. Participants will be provided feedback forms to indicate which of the three designs was their favorite. The feedback forms also provide students with the opportunity to indicate if there’s something specific they like or dislike about a design concept, said Kurt Borsting, director of Titan Student Centers. The remodel of the 38-year-old TSU was approved in 2013 by the Titan Student Centers Governing Board. It will use $20 million of revenue collected through student fees to expand the building by up to 25,000 additional square feet and replace outdated heating and ventilation MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

Cal State Fullerton’s Fall Dance Theatre returns Thursday. Auditions were held at the beginning of the semester to decide which dancers would participate in the show. Professor of Dance Gladys Kares is the coordinator of the show and feels that it is a great opportunity for CSUF’s dance students. The show runs through Nov. 2 in the Little Theatre. SEE A&E

systems. Part of the funds will go toward renovating existing office space on the building’s second floor. “The university has a delivery method that’s called Design-Build, and that’s the way this building will get created,” Borsting said. “Teams of general contractors and architects compete for the opportunity of the project and that’s the process that we’re in currently.” He said there are three teams of contractors and architects, each with their own design concept for the final version of the renovation. These contractors will display their designs and technical proposals for the university for the first time on Wednesday, Oct. 29. There will be multiple viewing opportunities in the week that follows. Borsting said that each of the three finalist design teams must incorporate the design features decided on at the time of the expansion’s approval in 2013. These include the replacement of the ventilation systems and renovation of the second floor. SEE TSU

CFA agreement draft reached

Agreement awaits ratification before presentation to CSU Board of Trustees

JAMIE CORPUZ Daily Titan The California Faculty Association (CFA) bargaining team and California State University (CSU) management negotiators have agreed to a tentative draft of their 2014-2017 collective bargaining agreement. In total, the first-year budget for faculty pay would be increased by 3 percent. That number reflects the original CSU offer, but is 1 percent lower than what the CFA initially asked for.

CFA members can vote whether or not to ratify the contract before Nov. 7 in order to prepare the draft for presentation to the CSU Board of Trustees Nov. 12. If the tentative agreements can be ratified by both parties before the Board of Trustees meeting, faculty will begin to see pay raises before the end of the year. The new contract spans three years and includes a 1.6 percent general salary increase in the first year. This pay increase would be implemented retroactively beginning July 1 of this year. SEE CFA

CSUF COMMUTER

student appreciation week!

Despite CSUF’s inconsistent play throughout the year, they are in position to qualify for the Big West Conference Tournament again.

Men’s soccer enters crucial stretch The Titans have two Big West matches before taking on UC Irvine in a key rematch

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer will return to Titan Stadium Wednesday night as they will host Big West South Division rival Cal State Northridge at 7 p.m. Despite being favored to win the South Division of the Big West Conference in the preseason, CSUN has

gotten off to an extremely slow start to this point in the season. The Matadors enter play with a 5-7-2 mark, which saw them lose four consecutive matches before tying UC Davis 0-0 and defeating UC Riverside 2-1 their last two times in action. Offense has been a clear weakness for CSUN this year, as they have been shut out five times and have failed to score more than two goals in any match.

Despite the inconsistency on the offensive end for the Matadors, they do feature the Big West’s leading goal scorer in Sagi Lev-Ari. The senior forward out of Israel is clearly the main threat for the Titan defenders, as his eight goals this year have kept an often stagnant Matadors offense afloat. CSUN does feature a dominant goalie in junior Adam Hobbs, which could spell trouble for the inconcistent Titan offense.

Hobbs allows less than one goal per game on average, and has four shutouts so far in 2014. His play against Titans goalie Jeff Salt will be one of the key determining factors as to how this game plays out. The Matadors enter the match just two points behind Fullerton for second place in the Big West, so this conference clash has postseason implications. SEE M SOCCER
