Pollak will gain seats In aftermath of spring quake, library shifts resources to provide more student seating

LAUREN GAMACHE Daily Titan Before the magnitude 5.1 La Habra-centered earthquake shook campus in March, Cal State Fullerton’s Pollak Library could seat 5 percent of the student population, or about 1,900 students. Now, with floors one, four, five and six of Pollak Library South closed, the library has taken a significant hit in terms of student seating—something the library is working to remedy. The national level accommodates seating to 10 percent of students, said Interim University Librarian Scott Hewitt. Now that seating is even more limited, library administrators have been exploring new ways to accommodate students. There is both a long-term and a short-term plan in order to bring the library seating up to the national average. The short-term plan is to slowly integrate seating throughout the four floors of the north side of the library. Over the course of the semester, books have been condensed on shelves and excess shelving has been moved into storage in order to make room for more desks and chairs, Hewitt said. Library staff have been moving tables and chairs from the closed floors and spreading them throughout the library. The goal is to maximize as much space as possible without violating building capacity limits. The last units of shelving will be removed from the first floor during intersession and will add even more seating. Once finals are completed in December, the first floor will be closed so the carpet can be torn out and replaced. The long term plan consists of a long-planned major renovation which will reopen closed floors and revamp how the library uses space. As of now there is not a definite date of the major renovation, but preparation has progressed in small stages. By the completion of the renovation, the library should have about 4,000 available seats, which would account for more than 10 percent of the current student population. SEE LIBRARY 2

Students’ school and work schedules can interfere with setting regular sleep habits. This can cause them to develop long-term health conditions like insomnia.

Students shrug sleep off Lack of sleep among college students can lead to serious health conditions HEATHER MYERS Daily Titan Between juggling a full school schedule, work and a personal life, college students often spend long nights cramming for a test, accompanied by enormous amounts of caffeine.

This requires taking advantage of any down time to catch up on sleep. It is something that is abundant in childhood, but lacking during college years. Sleep is a necessity, yet college students give more importance on the courses they are taking to

complete their degrees. However, lack of sleep can significantly affect performance and mindset in a negative way. Forty-four percent of students claimed to have only felt rested in the morning for 3-5 days during their past week, according to the 2014 American

College Health Association-National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA). In that same study, only 9 percent of students said they did not have a problem with daytime sleepiness. SEE SLEEP

Students participated in educational activities like water taste tests.

RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan The Associated Students Inc. Committee on Environmental Sustainability hosted Seeds for Change yesterday for national campus sustainability day, an event promoting the importance of reusable bottles and totes, water and energy conservation and local shopping.

Graffiti vandalism remains in Nutwood Structure Police investigating at least 23 instances of graffiti found Saturday in Nutwood Structure

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton had its first instance of graffiti vandalism this year when multiple floors of the Nutwood Parking Structure were spray-painted with yellow and green paint. At least 23 large caricature-like faces and singular words were spray-painted onto concrete blocks and walls inside the structure. The vandalism was reported

to University Police around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, University Police Capt. John Brockie said. Brockie said graffiti generally tends to happen in outlying areas of the campus and can often be found on light poles and in parking lots. He said there is usually only one small tag found in a particular area, making what happened in the Nutwood Parking Structure unique. “I cannot recall in the almost 17 years that I’ve been here anything that large,” Brockie said. “There’s

been some bigger-than-tagging graffiti incidences, but not two floors of a parking structure.” In 2013, there were five reported incidences of graffiti. The spray painting of the Nutwood Parking Structure is the first graffiti vandalism in 2014. The incident does not appear to be gang-related. “Gang-related graffiti is very specific,” Brockie said, adding that it will usually include a moniker or some sort of distinguishing mark.

known before the event. At the end of the event, they were handed a free bag of fresh fruit. Students had the opportunity to participate in a water taste test—they tasted bottled water versus filtered tap water from campus. Most of the students didn’t taste a difference or thought the filtered tap water was better, which prompted the committee to reveal that Aquafina and Dasani is purified municipal water, also known as filtered tap water. Theary Monh, chair of the committee, said this taste test was impactful because many people just assume that bottled water is better,

but that is not always the case. Emerolina Cantu, vice chair of the committee, said some students liked the filtered school water better than the plastic bottled water they bought. CSUF has already made sustainability efforts by implementing water bottle refill stations. They are located on the first floor of the SRC, the basement, first and second floor of the Titan Student Union, the women’s locker room and in the library on the first and second floors. SEE CHANGE

An effort to increase immediate access to research results is in full swing at Cal State Fullerton through Open Access Week this week. The week-long international event marks the eigth year for Open Access Week, and includes events meant to promote free, online access to research and academic information. Jaclyn Bedoya, electronic resources librarian and the chair of Open Access Week, said the event raises awareness among students of the open access mission,

which many haven’t heard of before. Most of the publishing done by faculty members goes into journals and books which require the university to pay for access. The result is a pay barrier that limits who can access the published research. Scott Hewitt interim university librarian, said last year, CSUF spent $579,116 for four online journals— Sage, Science Direct, Springer and Wiley. Hewitt said online journals aren’t the only costly expenditure; online databases are also costly. He said those paired with the journals cost CSUF about $1.5 million last year. In the past, library staff have held open access

awareness events that focus on informing students about the importance of being able to use online scholarly journals for free. Last year, the library held one small event focusing primarily on students. The focus for the event this year has shifted to faculty and staff, as they choose which journals they publish their work in. The purpose of the events focusing on faculty is to inform them about open access and how it works. Open Access Week events have been held throughout the week, and will continue with an open-access Jeopardy!-style event hosted by library staff. The event will be Thursday from 9-10 a.m. between University Hall and the Humanities building.

Downtown Ottawa was placed on lockdown Wednesday after a gunman shot and killed a Canadian soldier standing guard at a war memorial and fired multiple shots into the nearby Parliament building before being killed by police, according to the New York Times. The shooter was identified as Canadian Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a man in his 30s who was recently flagged as a “high-risk traveler” by the Canadian government. Police said two unidentified people were also injured. The shooting was the second fatal attack on a member of the Canadian armed forces in three days. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper described the shootings as “despicable,” and linked them to radicalism inspired by ISIS.

With finals less than seven weeks away, library staff have been doing the best they can to make sure that students have places to study in areas outside the library as well. The library staff have been asking if the college can open

their resources the week prior to and during finals. Student success centers within certain colleges are looking into staying open until about 9 p.m., when the library starts to quiet down, Hewitt said. Having the library open 24/7 before and during finals will allow more students to

access the library whenever it is the most convenient for them, said Interim Associate University Librarian Anthony Davis Jr. The main focus is to strike a balance between having as many browsable books as possible while still providing seats for a maximum number of students.

Council votes to keep Parks and Rec chair

Commissioner will remain despite intimidation allegations following dropped charges by DA

HEATHER MYERS Daily Titan The Fullerton City Council voted Tuesday to keep Barry Levinson as chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission, despite allegations that he intimidated a member of the community. Opposition to Levinson’s removal came from three council members including Bruce Whitaker, who appointed Levinson to his position as commission chair. Levinson, whose term as chairman is not set to end until December 2016, allegedly yelled at and frightened Terry Grisanti, a representative for AT&T, after an Aug. 19 meeting of the city council. She had attended the August council meeting to support a project to install a cell tower in Richmond Park. AT&T had previously been to a Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on two other occasions to discuss the project, which Levinson opposed. When the cell site item was pulled from the consent calendar and discussed during the August council meeting, Levinson spoke out against it because there was no contract for the cell tower’s installment. Grisanti said the discussion escalated when Levinson spoke out against her after she had presented at the meeting. “As I was sitting in my chair, I was called a liar, ‘how do you sleep at night?’ a couple of things

like that,” Grisanti said. After the item concluded, Grisanti said she walked through the foyer with Levinson close behind her. She then turned around to find Levinson close behind her and put out her hand to stop him from getting any closer. Another representative from AT&T got in the middle of the altercation and Grisanti was able to walk out of the building. Grisanti said she speaks

at meetings for a living. Not once has she felt scared in the past 15 years until this incident. “It was complete intimidation. Anybody should be able to come here and respectfully speak their mind and have the peace of mind that once they are done and the business is concluded, that they can leave and walk to their car,” Grisanti said. Grisanti reported the

incident to the Fullerton Police Department several days later after receiving encouragement from family members and other AT&T representatives, but the investigation concluded with no arrests made. The district attorney will not file criminal charges due to a lack of evidence. Levinson denies all claims of the incident and said he is being falsely accused.

“I did not touch her, I did not threaten her, nor did I impede her progress because I was several steps behind her,” he said. Levinson said the investigation amounts to a political witch hunt and said council members violated his civil rights by speaking about an ongoing investigation. “I am not angry,” Levinson said. ”I am not angry at all with these misguided

city officials. Instead, I feel a great deal of sadness concerning their frantic attempts to assassinate my character.” Levinson will continue to carry out his term as commission chair. The city council also voted unanimously to approve the new professional standards software and smartphone ticketing system for the Fullerton Police Department.

Environmental Sustainability Vice Chair shifts lifestyle to help the environment

Students had the option of a bag of fruit or a fresh pumpkin at the Seeds for Change event.

Change: Learning how to sustain our environment CONTINUED FROM

Another station offered tips on how to conserve water. Such tips included taking a five minute or less shower which can save up to 10 gallons of water per shower. They also suggested only flushing the toilet when it is absolutely necessary. “It was really interesting, honestly, to learn about how much water we use and how much we waste. I know we don’t think about that,” kinesiology major Laura Evans said. The tote and plastic bag table showed students certain areas where plastic bag laws have been implemented. “Now that is going to do so much to the community. That’s a huge thing, that’s going to make people so much more aware about all these bags, and it’s going to help our environment, and I really do support that,” Evans said.

Monh said it’s all about being aware and the stations affirm that message. “Through the stations, people were genuinely interested in what we had to say and to learn more about sustainability and things they weren’t aware of,” he said. In addition to the information stations, local farmers’ markets and sustainability businesses showcased their goods. KIND bars, EcoGrounds, SOLA, Oceans and Earth, and the Fullerton Arboretum were just a few. EcoGrounds currently serves coffee in the Gastronome, but hopes to reach more students by opening another location on campus in the future. The company prides itself on being a highly sustainable eatery, with eco-friendly cups, lids and delicious coffee. Lola provided salsas, spreads and jams that they showcase at 41 different

Farmers Markets. Oceans and Earth is a farm-to-table restaurant that aquaponically grows organic produce. The aquaponic method uses less water and power than hydroponic and conventional farming. “It’s good to have an actual farmers’ market on our campus and to see all the students really excited about our organic produce … The students are really excited and that makes me really happy,” Cantu said. Jonathan Kwok, ASI chief communication officer, said the committee made the event approachable for students to come learn about the different ways they can be more sustainable. “I think they [students] took something out of it. I didn’t see anybody leave. They were engaged and it’s because the committee presented in a way where it’s easy to learn, it wasn’t intimidating or too forward or strong,” Kwok said. Ciara Gutierrez contributed to this report.

Emerolina Cantu and Pria Cid sat motionless on the couch. Their jaws were dropped and they didn’t utter a sound. Their dilated pupils replaced the need for words. There was instant grief, instant shock, instant accountability. The end credits for the documentary Tapped started rolling and Cantu vowed to never buy a case of plastic water bottles again. The following day she followed suit on her vow and raced to Cid with her new, reuseable water jug. However, Cid pointed out that Cantu’s new reusable bottle itself was made of plastic. They both laughed at Cantu’s silly error and realized that the journey to becoming more sustainable was going to be a learning process. “Changing your lifestyle to be more sustainable, it’s not really easy to do overnight. It’s really something that you learn about, you grow and you change,” said Amanda Lopez, founder and former chair of the Associated Students, Inc. Environmental Sustainability Committee.

She has since transformed her lifestyle with the positive influence of its members. “I was just in shock. I wanted everyone to know this is a big problem. What can we do?” Cantu said. She made the commitment to use reusable water bottles and tote bags

instead of plastic bags, buy locally and give up meat. Cantu decided to grow her own produce, wash the dishes with a bucket and reuse that water on her plants. She also started taking shorter showers and changing small habits like turning the faucet off while brushing her teeth. “Now I feel like I have a cause—like my lifestyle is supporting something,” Cantu said. As the current vice chair of the committee, Cantu is fulfilling expectations that her predecessors had for her. “The first thing I noticed about her was that she was smart and has a lot of potential—a lot of hidden talent that she probably doesn’t know about,” said Cid, former vice chair for the Environmental Sustainability Committee. Cantu’s humility is one of many respectable traits her peers admire about her and what makes her so approachable and influential. Austin Tureaud, coordinator for the Environmental Sustainability Committee and close friend of Cantu, joined the committee because of Cantu’s influence on him. “Whatever she says, you just feel inclined to listen to her because her approach is an interesting

blend of assertiveness with that motherly feel—so gentle but serious,” Tureaud said. Since joining the committee, Tureaud has also adopted a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. He is now more consciously aware of his effect on the environment in regards to water usage and waste management. “(Cantu) makes me want to learn more from her. She has always been a very positive role model in my life … and she has a lot to offer this Earth and the people that inhabit it,” Tureaud said. However, even with her great influence over students like Tureaud, Cantu’s first priority and loyalty is to the cause. Carrying her produce to the car by hand because she forgot her tote is just one of the ways that her dedication and effort is exemplified. “Small changes make a big difference and every drop of water counts, every little change that you make counts,” Cantu said. After completing her sophomore year, she will continue her efforts to educate students and will be available to them during the Environmental Sustainability Committee meetings on Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. in the Titan Student Union.

Searching... for Mr. Right | Finding the appropriate setting for a first date A student discusses the difference in dating as a teenager and as an adult

KALEY WILLIAMS Daily Titan When you’re a teenager, the world of dating is uncharted territory. As you get older, the sweaty palms and uncertainty becomes less uncomfortable and more bearable in the ever-changing dating process. My first “real” date, which I define by the fact that he picked me up in his own truck and shook hands with my dad, happened

when I was 15 years old. It was with a boy from my French class who was a year older than me. I refer to my entire high school experience as my awkward period, so I can’t really tell you what convinced him to ask me out, but I think it had something to do with the basketball knowledge I hijacked from my dad. I can’t remember what movie we saw, but I do remember that sweaty palms were a legitimate issue. Our fingers were awkwardly interlaced together resting on the armrest between us because neither

of us were experienced enough to realize that we could just lift the armrest. He had the popcorn on his lap, but I was too embarrassed to reach over to grab some, so I told him that I didn’t want any popcorn instead. My awkward stage was very present and very real. When I entered my 20s, dating no longer looked the same way it did when I was 15. Now, I avoid movie dates because there is no opportunity to get to know the other person. However, I have yet to

go on a first date without a stomach filled with uncomfortable nerves. These days, my first dates consist of going to dinner or my personal nemesis: grabbing drinks. That whole concept for a first date baffles me. To me, grabbing drinks is something to do before going out to do something else. Going out for drinks is a process, and I’m not sure that any first date should be enhanced with copious amounts of alcohol. I try to wait at least a few months before I make myself look like a drunken

idiot in front of my crush. Another issue with dating is that meeting via apps or the Internet is becoming increasingly common, which is great, except for the fact that you are now going on a date with a stranger. The first rule I’ve given myself when dating through social media is that we have to meet in a public setting. I don’t want to assume that the person I’m meeting is a creepy serial killer, but I’d rather be overly cautious than dead. There’s also the option of bringing a friend with

you, but it seems like a jerk move to leave the person you’re meeting feeling like a third wheel on their own date. I guess where I’m going with this is that while dating is necessary, it can be quite uncomfortable, but I think that everyone feels like that. Nobody knows exactly what to say or what to do once the check comes, and that’s okay. As long as you act like yourself and leave yourself open to having fun, regardless of the awkwardness and sweaty palms, it’s worth it.

Sleep: Lack of rest impacts academic performance CONTINUED FROM

The benefits of sufficient sleep not only include the feeling of being well-rested, but sleep is also necessary for our nervous system to function properly. Too little sleep causes the loss of concentration, and can lead to memory impairment and compromised physical performance. Chronic sleep deprivation can also cause mood swings and hallucinations, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The amount of sleep a person needs depends on the brain’s nucleus, which determines the amount of sleep necessary for our body to function properly, said Bahram Alavynejad,

Ph.D., sleep physician at the Voltmer Sleep Center at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach. Social circumstances also create changes in our sleep patterns. Alavynejad said natural sleep schedules are typically different than the demanding schedules people have at school and work. “If you are a person who likes to sleep at midnight and are able to sleep until seven or eight in the morning, for a total sleep time of seven hours, that may not be allowed by our social circumstances anymore because of what the school requirements dictate,” Alavynejad said. For college students, the stress of exams and assignments can result in all-night

cramming sessions. However, these cramming sessions are proven to be less effective in the long run because cramming only helps with short-term memory. “The students that cram for their studies at night, as opposed to the ones that have been studying on a daily basis, tend to retain the information that they have learned on a very shorter basis than the students that have been preparing for the test on a long term basis,” he said. The amount of sleep adults need varies from person to person because it is determined by different factors including age and the individual’s brain biology. Newborn babies sleep up to 18 hours per day, but

as people get older, the total amount of sleep people get decreases. This is due to metabolism changes and medical conditions caused by aging. “Some people are habitual short sleepers, and some are habitual long sleepers. Some people can sleep for four hours per night and function just as well as others who need 12 hours of sleep,” Alavynejad said. Unfortunately, people mostly have themselves to blame for sleep deprivation. Humans are the only mammals who willingly delay sleep, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Not only does sleep deprivation cause problems with our school studies,

there are many health risks for those who are chronically sleep deprived. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), at least 40 million Americans suffer each year from chronic, longterm sleep disorders. The most common of the 70 sleep disorders out there include insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy. Sleep deprivation can also lead to mood disorders such as anxiety disorder, depression and bipolar disorder. Sleep is important for every adult, but for college students in particular, that importance is heightened. Alavynejad said that is because one of the roles of

sleep is to process information we are exposed to during the day. “For people in college trying to learn, it becomes an important subject and unfortunately more and more college students are sleep deprived now than in the past,” he said. To be able to retain all the information that they learn in college and apply it to their careers after graduation, it is imperative that college students practice effective sleep patterns. According to NINDS, some tips for a good night of sleep include setting a sleep schedule, exercising, avoiding caffeine and other stimulants and seeking help from your doctor if you have continued sleeping problems.

Homeless deserve to eat Cities denying homeless people access to food is a heartless and inhumane act

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan Twenty-one cities across the country have approved ordinances that prevent the distribution of food in public areas to people who are homeless since January 2013, according to a report released Monday from the National Coalition for the Homeless. The report lists multiple cities in Southern California that have at least restricted certain food sharing practices including Costa Mesa, Los Angeles, Malibu, Ocean Beach and Pasadena. Several cities across the country have cited such ordinances as ways to bolster tourism and prevent the arrival of more homeless people to the region. Not only is such an approach inhumane, it’s effectively a Band-Aid for an issue that goes far deeper than food. Cities need to have comprehensive programs in place aimed at raising people up rather than striking them down when they need help. There are multiple examples of how programs aimed at giving homeless individuals resources have proven beneficial. Chronic homelessness saw a decrease of more than 10 percent nationally between 2009 and 2010 as a result of efforts to create more

supportive housing, according to a 2011 report by the Corporation for Supportive Housing. This isn’t the only time that we’ve seen programs geared toward benefiting the homeless succeed. A 24 percent reduction in veterans’ homelessness between 2009 and 2013 has been attributed to a

greater availability of affordable and temporary housing options, according to a November 2013 report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Politicians and those who deal with the homeless directly have often argued that feeding homeless on the streets, whether through a simple

handout or a large scale operation, only encourages them to remain homeless. Ron Book, who leads the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust, took this approach when he argued in support of Ft. Lauderdale’s efforts to prevent feeding of the homeless in October 2014. Such an argument is

inherently flawed. Cutting off food sources for homeless people doesn’t help them, it just cuts off one more resource that they might otherwise be able to depend on. All across the country, people who are homeless are already struggling to find food. One in every 6 people in this country didn’t have enough

money to buy food last year, according to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture. Undoubtedly, many of those individuals were homeless. Traditional, preferred methods of food distribution aren’t always the answer either. Seventy-eight percent of cities reduced the number of times people could visit a food pantry in 2013, according to a statistic from a homelessness and hunger survey conducted by the United States Conference of Mayors. Even if the argument Book and others are making held merit and cutting off food sources encouraged people to find work, where would they go and how would they start? Representatives from The National Alliance to End Homelessness suggests that there are at least ten important things people need in order to be able to rise out of homelessness. Those ten steps include developing a plan, gaining access to mental health services and temporary housing. Homeless people shouldn’t be seen as a hindrance toward tourism or a nuisance. Such a concept reveals an American ideal that is deeply skewed. These are people, not pigeons or vermin. Furthermore, various studies on temporary housing and rehabilitation programs have proven such methods to work and help. Perhaps cities that focus on food first are trying to fix an important problem in

U.S.’s new health kick could hurt McDonald’s McDonald’s drop in stock could be due to the U.S. healthier eating habits

JAMES SMITH Daily Titan McDonald’s has troubling news for its investors. For the first time since 2003, it recorded a 3.7 percent global loss in same store sales. The news only got worse as the company reported an overall disappointing third quarter with a decline in revenues, operating income and earnings per share. Part of their losses can be attributed to an expired meat scandal which affected China and a handful of other Asian countries. However, this does not explain the 3.3 percent decline in sales here in the U.S. What this does mean is that the U.S. is no longer “lovin’ it,” but is slowly becoming a more health-conscious nation. McDonald’s CEO Don

Thompson believes the company’s recent dip in sales is due to a failure in advertisement. “We are diligently working to effectively navigate the current market conditions to regain momentum,” Thompson said in a statement. Throwing piles of money at advertisers has, in the past, been the most effective method to boost sales. This time an effective marketing campaign might not be enough to get Americans to believe that Olympians and NFL players are fueled by Big Macs. McDonald’s sales loss can’t be blamed on an overall decline in fast food patronage either. The rate at which Americans are eating fast food has remained relatively unchanged in the past decade, according to a Gallup poll. Healthier fast food restaurants like Chipotle have stepped in and started to

steal some of the McDonald’s business. Unlike the “Golden Arches,” Chipotle reported positive third-quarter numbers with store sales up 19.8 percent and net income up 56.9 percent. This is one of many signs that Americans are starting to care more about their health. The U.S. as a whole has been making healthier choices. Since 2010, Americans have been consuming 78 less calories every day compared to just five years prior, according to the United States Department of Agriculture report. Over a third of U.S. adults fell into the obese category in 2009-10, an estimated 15 percent up from 1980, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Since 2012 obesity numbers have not increased compared to the prior year in every state except Arkansas, according to an August 2013 study by two nonprofit groups, according

to the Wall Street Journal. In the same month, childhood obesity rates were declining in many states, according to the CDC. America’s healthier habits might be due to increased public education and awareness. Thanks to federal requirements that force large chain restaurants to post nutritional information about their food, consumers now know how many calories are in their favorite fast food meal. There’s no escape from the cautionary tales of eating poorly in our entertainment, with the seemingly endless list of food documentaries that keep popping up in your “recommended for you” category on Netflix. It seems that the U.S.’s slightly healthier approach toward food is here to stay. If that is the case, McDonald’s needs to reconsider their business model or they could begin to lose their tight grasp on the fast food business.

CSUF men’s soccer tops Cal State Northridge for their fourth win in five games

RUDY CHINCHILLA Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team edged past Cal State Northridge Wednesday, beating the Matadors 1-0 at Titan Stadium. After the loss against UC Irvine, the Titans were determined to win on home soil. “That motivated me for tonight because this is our home turf and we have to defend it,” Fullerton winger Mark Vasquez said. The first opportunity of the game came in the second minute, courtesy of Fullerton’s Ian Ramos. Two minutes after the opening whistle, Mitchell Bell sent a ball over the top from the Fullerton half. Ramos didn’t hesitate, immediately shooting from 20 yards. However, his shot sailed over the crossbar. Ramos again led the attack

in the fourth minute when he stripped a Northridge player 40 yards from goal. He passed to himself to get by a defender and surged into the box, but his nearpost effort was deflected into the corner. At 18 minutes, the Titans’ constant attack finally resulted in the breakthrough. Ramos threaded the ball to Ritchie Gonzalez, who touched past Matador defender Trevor Morley. Gonzalez’ shot went straight at Northridge goalkeeper Adam Hobbs, but the rebound landed at the feet of an unmarked Marc Fenelus, who rifled the ball into the back of the net, giving the Titans a 1-0 lead. In the 30th minute, Fullerton was almost on the scoresheet again. On the left flank, Ramos passed the ball through to Fenelus, who dribbled inside the box and cut to the right to beat his defender. With the defense stretched, Fenelus passed to Amara Soumah, who collected with his left foot and then fired a low shot to the

near post with the outside of his right foot. Fortunately for Northridge, it clattered off the outside of the post. Neither team was able to create any more clear-cut chances in the first half. Two minutes after the restart, Vasquez tried his hand from the top of the box, but his low shot skimmed just past the far post. Despite the quick start, Fullerton was forced to weather the Northridge storm for much of the second half. In the 67th minute, the Matadors’ Nicolas Camacho took a freekick from the left side. At the far post, teammate Trevor Morley beat his marker and got his foot on the ball. Luckily for the Titans, his shot from five yards went wide. The 84th minute saw Edwin Rivas collect a rebound at the top of the Fullerton box. He fired from 19 yards, but fortunately for Titan goalkeeper Jeff Salt, the ball took a deflection and ended

up going mere inches over the crossbar. Head Coach George Kuntz praised his players for keeping the Matadors from getting the tying goal. “It’s a matter of will,” Kuntz said. “Who’s going to have the wherewithal to make it through? We’re asking them to defend and attack, and defend and attack and give us a spark, and it was hard.” The Titans will play their next game on the road when they take on UC Riverside. For Soumah, that game will be no ordinary game. “It’s a very emotional game because last year I had an incident with them. To me, everytime I go against them it’s kind of like dogs and cats. But I’m ready for that game, so all I’m looking for is a win over there,” Soumah said. If they are able to beat the Highlanders, the Titans can retain their second place spot in the Big West Southern Division, or they can even jump into first, depending on how UC Irvine’s game ends up.

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan One win in seven games is not the start to Big West Conference play that Cal State Fullerton Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman had envisioned for her volleyball team. But things are appearing to turn around as the team is nearing the midway point of the conference schedule. The Titans had a strong showing last weekend against UC Davis and UC Riverside. They played five sets against a tough Davis squad and earned their first conference win of the season on the road against the Highlanders. “We had some of the best practices we had all season last week. We were heading in a direction where it felt like there was a lot more continuity,” Zimmerman said. “The way they played this weekend was pleasing because it showed that when we practice well, we play well.” If effective practices are indeed correlated with strong gameplay, then the Titans should feel good about their chances heading into Friday’s game against Big West rival UC Irvine. “We have some momentum from last weekend. We’ve been waiting to get that win,” said sophomore outside-hitter McKenna Painton. “We are a lot more confident after that. We’ve had a good week of practice so far.” Painton has recently moved from her typical

libero position to outside hitter. She played outside hitter throughout high school and in club volleyball, so the switch wasn’t as difficult as it would be for some players. One day at practice after the Hawaii game earlier this month, the coaches had Painton working some outside hitter drills. “I wasn’t sure if it was serious or not, but game time came and I was in the lineup as an outside (hitter),” Painton said. “I had been mentally preparing myself for it. It’s good to be able to do what I can to help the team.” The Titans had lost seven of their past eight games before Painton ditched her libero jersey. “It got to the point where we worked the same people in the same position over and over again and when you don’t see the result changing, it’s time to make a change,”

Zimmerman said. “McKenna is a warrior. I pointed to her in Hawaii and said, ‘Be ready, the next change is you moving to outside-hitter’ and she understood.” Since moving outside, Painton has had four consecutive double-doubles and is the team’s most consistent offensive player. Paige Reed and Rachel Brown have shared the duties at libero. “It’s nice knowing she’s out there. McKenna has proven herself to be really reliable on the outside,” said junior setter Mackenzie Olsen. “Every game she has played has been really helpful for the whole team.” The Titans hope their recent momentum swing will help them against a red hot UCI team Friday. The Anteaters are on a four-game winning streak. They have won 10 sets in a row and lead the Big West in hitting

percentage, kills per set, assists and digs. UCI’s Cassidy Pickrell and Marisa Bubica are two elite scorers in the conference. Bubica leads the conference in kills per set with 4.01 and Pickrell leads the Big West in kills with 280. The Anteaters’ offensive production comes with the help of the top setter in the conference, Shelley Anderson. She averages 11.21 assists per set, which is the most in the Big West and 20th in the nation. The Titan defense will have to step up if they want to keep Irvine off the scoreboard. But if they play the way they did last weekend, the Titans could upset UCI and turn some heads. “They’re all on board with what we want as coaches and supporting each other as teammates,” Zimmerman said.
