Senate to vote on 9-unit GE waiver College of Engineering and Computer Science proposes 9 unit general education waiver

SAMUEL MOUNTJOY Daily Titan The Academic Senate will consider a proposal Thursday from the College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) to reduce the number of required general education units by nine.

The proposal comes in reaction to a mandate from California State University Chancellor Timothy P. White approved in January 2013 which requires nearly all majors at the CSU to reduce the maximum number of units to 120.

Specifically, ECS is requesting that general education sections A.3 Critical Thinking, B.2 Life Science and D.5 Social Sciences be waived for ECS students.

General Education Committee members narrowly passed the proposal with two yes votes, one no and four abstentions.

“The main concern from

the members of the committee is that this is a shift in the way the university views general education,” said Greg Childers, Ph.D., chair of the General Education Committee of the Academic Senate. “This is a significant variance that the campus would be giving them.”

Similar waivers are already provided in programs at Cal State Northridge and Cal State Long Beach.

Raman Unnikrishnan, Ph.D., dean of the 3,000-undergraduate-student College of ECS, said the controversy arises from a fundamental difference in philosophy of how students should be educated.

“The general education community at this university measures compliance using whether the person has passed a course or not.

That’s probably the older way of looking at compliance,” Unnikrishnan said.

“We assess whether the student learned it or not, and that’s a profoundly different way of meeting the learning goals.

Raman Unnikrishnan, Ph.D., dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science has proposed waiving nine general education units in order to meet a mandated 120-unit maximum.

But members of the Academic Senate and the General Education Committee also acknowledge that ECS is grappling with a push and pull from many different directions.

In addition to general

education requirements at Cal State Fullerton and the CSU mandate to limit units, the college must also meet requirements set by the engineering college accrediting commission, ABET. The commission sets strict

requirements on learning outcomes required of students at the college and additional requirements depending on the specific program they are in.

ROSELYNNE REYES Daily Titan A long in-the-works electronic billboard has been installed on the University Hall building above a freshly repainted Student Financial Services center.

The large, video-compatible board was put into place earlier this semester

by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) after the Board of Directors approved the installation of the board in April. The board was estimated to cost $105,817 to create and install, with an additional contingency fund of $9,800.

The placement allows the board to display announcements and provide information for students who may not typically make the trip across campus to the Titan Student Union.

“On our campus, we don’t really have a central place where all of our students congregate, so sometimes having an additional place where it catches your attention is nice,” said Jonathan Kwok, chief communications officer for ASI. “Our purpose is never to spam people visually, but there are things that are on campus that other students and student leaders are putting on just to make the experience better, and I think it’s nice for them to have a platform to reach out to people.”

The electronic billboard was a campaign promise of former ASI President Rohullah Latif and his running mate Leggett.

The two served during the 2013-2014 school year and this marks the last of their campaign promises to be fulfilled.

The idea for the board came to Latif while he was campaigning with running mate Leggett in spring 2013. While talking to a student near McCarthy Hall, he realized that students who stay near their classes aren’t aware of the events happening around the TSU or other locations around campus.

Board: Latif’s promise fulfilled CONTINUED FROM

MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

The newly-installed electronic billboard at University Hall, above Student Financial Services, was a campaign promise of previous Associated Students, Inc. President Rohullah Latif.

“A lot of students are mainly in Mihaylo or mainly go to McCarthy, but they don’t venture out into the Student Union side or any further; they’re all located in their areas because that’s where the classes are,” Latif said.

Originally, Latif and Leggett campaigned to install several electronic boards around campus.

“The whole goal was to have one up and running to see it tested, to see how it is, to see how it affects the student body and how it affects the marketing that ASI provides to students,” Latif said.

However, Kwok said that this doesn’t necessarily mean more billboards will start popping up all over campus.

“The notion of the student leaders is always to work within the resources we have, so we’re very aware and we’re very respectful

to the fees that students entrust with us,” Kwok said.

The creation of the board aims to inform those who stay in certain parts of campus, in line with ASI’s fiveyear Strategic Plan that was put in place under Latif and Leggett. It will also come in handy with the redesigning of the Titan Student Union in the near future, Kwok said.

“It’s kind of cool to have that there, as well, because the one (on the TSU) may be blocked by future construction here,” Kwok said.

Even though he’s now an alumnus, Latif says he feels more connected than ever.

“It’s amazing. I’ve been getting pictures left and right from people who have been texting me,” Latif said.

“We’re finally able to see the whole entire project finalized and up and running and actually helping out the student body, so I’ve been really excited about it.”

Rocket explodes on launch An unmanned rocket carrying equipment and supplies to the International Space Station exploded just moments after lift-off Tuesday in Virginia, according to Reuters.

The Antares rocket was carrying a spacecraft loaded with 5,055 pounds of supplies and over 1,600 pounds of science experiments, including classified equipment.

It is the first accident since NASA began using private operators to deliver cargo to the station.

The rocket was manufactured by Orbital Sciences Corporation, one of the two companies hired by NASA to deliver supplies to the station after the retirement of the space shuttles.

No one was injured during the explosion.

COURTESY OF CAL STATE FULLERTON

The College of Engineering and Computer Science includes about 3,000 undergraduates. The Academic Senate will vote this week on waiving nine units of general education for ECS students.

ECS: Trimming GE units CONTINUED FROM

1

ECS curriculum and general education requirements currently add up to 129 units for engineering majors, and 124 for computer science majors. Of that total, after double-counting courses that fulfill requirements for both general education and major requirements, the general education portion of those degrees is 30. That number, Unnikrishnan said, is higher than any other program in the CSU. “We have no way of reducing the technical component of our degree program, therefore we are forced to request an accommodation from the general education arena,” Unnikrishnan said.

The learning goals encompassed in the course waivers that ECS is applying for will still be met by curriculum in the major coursework, said Susamma Barua, Ph.D., associate dean of ECS. Barua, who presented the proposal to the Academic Senate last week, said that ABET requirements already

supply the learning goals of the three courses for which ECS is requesting waivers. For example, ethical and problem solving skills that would be learned in a critical thinking course are picked up in bits and pieces in various ECS courses in order to meet ABET learning outcomes.

Faculty, however, are at odds with waiving critical thinking due to the foundational nature of the course. “(Critical thinking) is really intended to lay the foundation on which students will build when completing their majors,” Childers said. “Making the argument that the critical thinking is done during the major without that initial foundation makes many of the faculty uncomfortable.”

Provost Jose Cruz, Ph.D., who is an ABET evaluator and a trained engineer, pointed out the complexity of the problem at the Academic Senate meeting Thursday. He said he can see the perspective of the state to graduate students more quickly, but as an ABET evaluator, he understands the amount of

external pressure that engineering programs must deal with. Cruz said he is happy with the solution ECS has devised.

“I feel confident about this proposal,” Cruz said to the senate. “I am confident that our colleagues in ECS will find a way to make sure that the quality of the programs are not compromised.”

The Academic Senate will vote on the proposal at their Thursday meeting.

It will then be forwarded to CSUF President Mildred García, who will take the senate decision into account when making her own decision. If García does not approve the proposal to waive the courses, the issue will go to the chancellor’s office for a solution.

White may force a change from above, work with the campus to find another solution, build general education units into major requirements or allow the ECS majors to be high-unit majors, Childers said.

Academic Senate will meet Thursday at 11 a.m. in Pollak Library North Room 130.

A certain type of mosquito carrying the deadly dengue hemorrhagic fever, or yellow fever, was discovered in San Diego for the first time, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Four of the mosquitoes, described to have small black and white stripes, were found at the 32nd Street Naval Station. Officials are unsure if the mosquitoes arrived aboard Navy ships.

These mosquitoes are more aggressive than mosquitoes native to California and can also carry chikungunya, a viral disease causing fever, a rash and severe joint pain.

Dengue fever and the chikungunya virus are normally found on other continents.

The same kind of mosquitoes were recently found in Los Angeles County.

Data breaches increase California Attorney General Kamala Harris released a report Tuesday to help companies and consumers reduce their vulnerability to cyber attacks, according to the Los Angeles Times.

A total of 18.5 million people had their data stolen last year, a more than 600 percent increase from 2012.

In the report, Harris highlighted the effects of the massive security breaches at Target and daily deals website LivingSocial, which affected 7.5 million Californians last year.

She proposed that the state adopt stronger encryption technologies and monitoring accounts for suspicious activity to help decrease data breaches.

Lois Lundberg was the chair of the Orange County Republican Party from 1977 - 1984.

COURTESY OF BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY

Marian Bergeson served in both houses of the California legislature and the Orange County Board of Supervisors.

Documenting the political history of Orange County FRANCISCO REYES Daily Titan The Center for Oral and Public History (COPH) began its Orange County Politics Project earlier this month featuring three oral history interviews with distinguished Orange County politicians.

Lois Lundberg, Lynn Daucher and Marian Bergeson were all honored recently for their contributions to Orange County’s political history.

The goal of the project is to document the political history of the county and all of its diversity, said Natalie Fousekis, Ph.D., director of COPH. COPH, which began in 1968, works to preserve stories and archives with individuals that live in Southern California.

“We have 5,400 oral history interviews in our collection,” Fousekis said.

“Those interviews range from people who grew up knowing Richard Nixon to Mexican-Americans who were deported during the Great Depression to veterans from all the major wars in the 20th century.”

Lundberg helped develop and construct the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. She was a delegate at five Republican National Conventions and served as chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County from 1977-1984.

“First of all, they wanted to call me chairwoman, and I said ‘I’m a chairman, let’s get that clear,’” Lundberg said during her interview with the center.

Lundberg said the press asked her condescending

She became the highest-ranking Republican on the Budget Subcommittee on Education and Finance.

In 2007, she was named director of the California Department of Aging.

the board … while there was no outward prejudice against women, it was a ‘good ol’ boys’ club,’ and it was run by the ‘good ol’ boys.’”

Bergesen was the first woman to serve on both the California Assembly and Senate in 1978 and

1984, respectively. She was on the Orange County Board of Supervisors in 1995, as well as the State Board of Education and California Transportation Commission.

“Eventually, the women got together and we had dinners where we would go from home to home, and kind of lay back and had some fun, and really kind of exchanged our own personal views,” she said.

She said those dinners all began as fun gatherings, but eventually evolved into the Women’s Caucus.

Fousekis said the women were chosen because they were longtime contributors to civic life in Orange County. Despite the women being Republican political figures, she said the COPH is not a supporter of the Republican Party.

“The reason why we started this was that the history of this county was dominated by Republicans in the 1950s. So we’re starting with the oldest and earliest and moving forward in time,” Fousekis said.

Next year, the center will highlight the careers of two Democrats and two Republicans.

TROI MCADORY / DAILY TITAN

Shorty’z restaurant serves up the breakfast classics all day as well as burgers and sanwhiches. Shorty’s is locally owned by Chris Zounatiotis, who’s parents owned thier own restaurant in the seventies.

Shorty’z cooks up quality food

Local mom ‘n’ pop restaurant appeals to Fullerton citizens after grand opening on Oct. 1

TROI MCADORY Daily Titan Shorty’z, a new local mom ‘n’ pop shop, knows how to cook up a good meal. With a menu that varies from hamburgers and sandwiches to pancakes, the restaurant appeals to what people crave in a hearty meal.

Delicious avocado breakfast burritos served long after breakfast hours, succulent chicken strips and Greek salads can all be found on the menu with other varying choices.

Since its grand opening on Oct. 1, Shorty’z has provided exceptional food and great customer service.

Owner Chris Zounatiotis has been working on getting his restaurant up and running in the Fullerton area as far back as January.

There was a lot of planning, construction and permitting with the city that hindered the process.

“We started working in March. That’s when we

started full construction, and it took us to almost three weeks ago,” Zounatiotis said.

The restaurant was named after Zounatiotis’ childhood nickname given to him by his father. He decided to tack on the Z at the end instead of an S because it’s the first letter of his last name.

Zounatiotis grew up in a restaurant-savvy family. His parents owned their own restaurant back in the 70s, so naturally he gravitated towards the business.

Zounatiotis also grew up in the Fullerton area, so it made sense to open up shop where he was familiar and had lots of family and friends.

Shorty’z is located between Cal State Fullerton and several Fullerton neighborhoods. This is essential to gaining a growing number of customers and promoting discounts to get the word out, Zounatiotis said.

The restaurant offers both breakfast and lunch items at all hours. Though the menu has a ton of

options for patrons to mull over, Zounatiotis doesn’t want people to settle on one particular food item.

“I want them to try anything. I don’t want them to just think of us as just a hamburger stand,” he said.

Although Zounatiotis wants customers to try anything, customers still have their favorites.

Jutaro Okamoto, a returning customer, said he likes the zucchini fries.

“It’s the only type of place like this around here,” Okamoto said. “I haven’t seen any other mom ‘n’ pop hamburger places around here.”

Okamoto likes Shorty’z better than the previous restaurant in that area, even though it was similar to Shorty’z in terms of food.

“The quality of the food is a little better,” he said.

“The people before were nice, but (Shorty’z owners) are really trying to cater to the customer a lot. I like that too.”

Okamoto said he would like to eventually be one of Zounatiotis’ regulars and try everything on the menu.

TROI MCADORY / DAILY TITAN

Shorty’z is located near campus in the Target shopping center off of Yorba Linda Boulavard.

He recommends Shorty’z to anyone who likes good food.

“It is fast food, but it’s not a chain,” Okamoto said.

“It’s not a franchise, it’s small business owned and usually these types of places have similar food too and they just vary in quality I think.”

Though Zounatiotis is always at the restaurant

before and after operating hours, he dedicates all of his energy and gets plenty of sleep to make sure the restaurant is functioning properly.

If he’s not taking orders, he’s cooking the food or making sure employees are taken care of.

Everything he does is hands on to create a welcoming atmosphere.

The joy he gets from seeing the customers relishing in a good meal and knowing he’s the cause behind it; that’s what makes his job worthwhile.

The discount isn’t official yet, but there is a possible 10 percent discount on the way for all Cal State Fullerton affiliates to help gain attention for Shorty’z in the area.

The Art of the Jazz Trio was the perfect chance for student musicians to showcase their own compositions. Grammy winner Bill Cunliffe believes performing in trios helped enhance the performance .

Concert keeps jazz alive on campus JORGE SALHANI For the Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton reverberated with the sound of jazz Sunday evening.

Faculty and students of the Department of Music captivated the audience at Meng Concert Hall, performing jazz classics as well as original compositions.

Student trios performed first, followed by the faculty setlist.

The concert opener was

performed by student Sean Mehaffy, who played the saxophone and was accompanied by bass and piano.

Mina Choi followed Mehaffy with her uplifting number, Begin Again. Choi said it was dedicated to a friend who is going through a difficult time.

Her song was the only piece that featured a vocal performance by junior Taylor Thornton, a member of the Jazz Singers at Cal State Fullerton.

Thornton has been singing since she was 3 years old, but became involved with

jazz during her junior year of high school. “[Jazz] allows you to really be yourself,” Thornton said. “You can be free, basically.”

CSUF faculty and students played classic jazz hits as well as original compositions

BILL CUNLIFFE Professor of Music In addition to performances with various instruments, different trios presented sets

ther Hughes, Paul Kreibich, Chuck Tumlinson and Damon Zick.

Zick, a CSUF professor of music, performed the last composition, Nada Pero Maquinas. He said it was inspired by the Cuban and Spanish influence on Miami, and by his phone’s answering machine.

The Art of the Jazz Trio gave students the opportunity to present their own work to the public.

Burt Pronin and his wife, Barbara, were among the audience in attendance.

The couple loved the show and enjoyed the fact that young people are having fun with music that older

generations have listened to for decades.

Cunliffe, a Grammy Award-winning professor of music at CSUF, said three is the perfect number for musicians to play together because the organization of the groups in trios enhance the performance of the musicians.

“Jazz, to me, is a great possibility of communication,” Cunliffe said. “It teaches you how to communicate not through words, but through music and through listening to each other, which is really important.”

Earth feels weight of continued population increase GUSTAVO VARGAS Daily Titan Earth has been filled with a number of species for a very long time, and many have left as quickly as they arrived.

However, humans have only continued to grow and despite war, pandemics and regulation, they will continue to do so.

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the human population isn’t going to stop growing anytime soon.

We need to accept this truth as another reason to invest for the future; otherwise being around might not be too bearable for us.

The study, which was headed by Corey J. A. Bradshaw and Barry W. Brook, explored whether or not human population control will actually make a difference.

The study suggests that by the year 2100, there may very well be 12 billion humans on the planet.

There are currently over 7 billion people on the planet, so whatever we are doing to hold that number will not matter.

The authors of the study do not believe anything including China’s one-child policy being used across the globe would have any real effect on

the total population.

“Even if we had a third world war in the middle of this century, you would barely make a dent in the trajectory over the next 100 years,” Bradshaw said.

This may or may not sound like a bad thing, but it is nice to know that despite any future doom coming our way, we will just “keep on keeping on.”

Bradshaw, a professor at the University of Adelaide, said that even draconian measures for fertility control still won’t halt that growth rate.

He makes it clear that it would be easier to begin thinking of solutions of sustainability and avoid the issues that arise from overcrowding and pollution rather than focusing on limiting human growth.

It would be like filling bucket after bucket even though the water is not going to stop coming.

The buckets are temporary bandages that aren’t really doing much in the long run.

We need to start taking renewable, recyclable and sustainable mindsets into future planning because one day in the future, the problems that come with overpopulation will hit us hard.

The planet’s resources are not going to last forever, and the more people there are on the planet, the more

resources we are bound to consume.

Interestingly, 73 percent of people say yes to governments implementing population control measures, according to debate.org.

It seems people are in favor of being limited in this regard.

The concept of thinking about the future instead

of today is not really a new one, but if what we are doing isn’t helping the future, then we need to start doing something that is.

The ties between population control and environmental issues is also a growing issue.

The Center for Biological Diversity had brought attention to this matter back

in 2011 by giving out condoms with clever messages such as “Wrap with care, save the polar bear” and “Wear a condom now, save the spotted owl.”

Although the message might bring a slight chuckle, it is also meant to highlight a serious concern.

A concern that definitely would be pressing by 2100.

It is important to have steps like addressing safe sex and teen pregnancies, for more reasons other than just thinking about the population.

However, unless alien overlords plan on taking half of us out within the next 100 years, we need to act as if humans will only keep popping up.

ARIES

CANCER

(MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You may accidentally offend someone close to you today -- but you can make it right pretty quickly. Just try to pay attention to signals you’re receiving and you should know what to do.

TAURUS

(JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

You’re caught between two very different people or ideas. That may not be the worst thing in the world, but it is awkward if you’ve got to make a choice. See if you can find a compromise!

LEO

(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

This is not the right time to get on your high horse and try to get people to see things your way -- if anything you may want to pull back and try to listen to what they’ve got to say.

GEMINI

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Your fiery energy is perfect for new adventures, and you should find that you’ve got exactly what it takes to convince others to come along for the fun of it. Things start to get better soon.

You need to deal with an ongoing project -- there may be a sudden interruption or challenge that only you can fix. Things should start to get a little better soon, though. Keep pushing!

SCORPIO

Things are bigger than they appear to be -- and you may find that it’s easier than usual to get confused about them. Try not to worry too much about the relative differences. Things should get better.

Your amazing personal energy fills you with glee -- and it’s infectious! Circumstances don’t seem to matter, but you could liven up a funeral if you had to. Things are better than ever!

A minor miracle changes your life this morning -- but don’t expect more of the same to follow soon! These don’t come around all the time, so embrace it and see where it leads next.

Big West title within grasp With only three games left, the Titans hope to keep moving up the Big West standings

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team has a key stretch of Big West Conference games approaching in the next week where they will have a chance to close out the regular season in winning fashion.

Perhaps the most important game of the stretch, and possibly the season, will take place when conference rival UC Irvine heads to Titan Stadium for a key Big West clash Wednesday night.

Not only does CSUF hope to avenge their 1-0 loss to the Anteaters from Oct. 18, they will also be looking to gain sole possession of first place in the Big West South Division.

Currently, the Titans and Anteaters are tied at 10 points apiece, although the Anteaters do hold a better overall record at 11-3-2 compared to Fullerton’s 8-6-3.

CSUF won’t have much time to recover after their grueling match Wednesday, as UC Riverside comes to town Saturday.

The match will hold special meaning for Fullerton’s seniors, as it will be their last regular season game at

Titan Stadium.

The Highlanders sit in third place in the South Division, so the match again has the potential to shake up the conference standings.

UCR and CSUF tied 1-1 on Saturday in Riverside, meaning the Saturday matchup could be another grind-it-out type game for both teams.

The Titans have just three matches left before the Big West Conference Tournament, and how they finish out the regular season will determine seeding in the postseason.

With just a week and a half left, it’s an ideal time for George Kuntz’s group to get hot and make a postseason run.

While CSUF appears to be in good position right now, they will need their offense to step up in the next two weeks if they are going to have an extended postseason stay.

In their last three matches, the Titans have mustered just two goals, going 1-1-1 during the stretch.

Senior Marc Fenelus will look to build on his brilliant campaign that has him fifth in the Big West Conference with five goals on the season.

Meanwhile, Garrett Losee is hoping to wrap up his

Rebecca Wilson has been a catalyst for the Titan offense all year, scoring 10 goals to this point.

Women’s soccer ready for postseason CSUF has two more games to prepare for the Big West Conference Tournament

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team wraps up their regular season this weekend with a pair of Big West Conference games against UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

The Titans currently sit in third place in the Big West with a conference record of 4-0-2.

They have already clinched a spot in the Big West Tournament in San Luis Obispo next weekend.

CSUF has not lost since Sept. 28 when they fell to the University of San Diego.

The Titans are the only team that has not lost a conference game this season.

Much of Fullerton’s success can be credited to their outstanding defensive play.

They have allowed only 16 goals in their 17 games this season, and have allowed just three goals in their six Big West games.

The three conference goals allowed are the fewest in the conference.

Both Titan goalkeepers have contributed to the team’s recent success.

Sophomore Jennifer Stuart has allowed just 0.57 goals per game in conference play, and the team is 3-0-1 in Big West games with her in net.

Morgan Bertsch has contributed as well, earning a shutout in her one conference start against Cal State Northridge.

Part of the goalkeepers’ success this season is due to the defense in front of them.

Senior Colleen Ortega has been consistent all season and has finally been recognized for her efforts.

She was named Big West Defensive Player of the Week for her performances against UC Irvine and UC Riverside.

Ortega and the Titan defense held the Anteaters and Highlanders to a combined six shots on goal.

It was Ortega’s first time being named Big West Defensive Player of the Week in her collegiate career, and it’s the first time a Titan has had the honor this season.

The Titans travel north to Santa Barbara to take on the Gauchos Thursday night.

The Gauchos sit in second to last place in the Big West with a 2-5-0 record.

UCSB has lost their last three games, and has trouble keeping their opponents off the scoreboard.

They have allowed 13 goals in seven Big West games this season, the most in the conference.

The defensive struggles of Santa Barbara bode well for the surging Titan offense.

The offense exploded for three clutch goals against

UCI last Thursday.

Brianna Chapman, Connie Caliz and Rebecca Wilson each scored to put the game out of reach for the Anteaters.

Wilson’s performance last weekend earned her Big West Offensive Player of the Week honors.

She had two goals and an assist over the two games, and helped lead the Titans to their third straight victory. Wilson has scored nine goals in her last nine games and has 10 goals on the season, second most in the Big West.

Sara Feder and Madison Beckley have led the offense for the Gauchos in conference play. Beckley has two goals in Big West play and scored the last goal for the Gauchos on Oct. 19. The Aliso Niguel High School alumna has an impressive .600 shot on goal percentage.

The Titans take on first place Cal Poly SLO Sunday in their regular season finale at Titan Stadium. The Mustangs are 5-2-0 in Big West play and have clinched a spot in the tournament.

Elise Krieghoff is the Mustangs’ main threat and leads the conference in many offensive categories including goals (14) and shots (87).

The Titan defense will have to contain her if they want to enter the tournament with a win.

improve his .800 save percentage this year, which is fourth-best in the conference. The 6-foot-6-inch junior has allowed just two goals in his last four games to help make up for the struggling Titan offense.

His play has carried Fullerton through a majority of the season, and the Titans will continue to rely on him

going forward as they pursue a Big West championship.

A first place finish in the regular season is key for Big West competitors, as the No. 1 seeds in the North and South divisions get a free pass to the conference semifinals. The Titans will need more consistent play out of their offense if they are going to lock up the coveted

first seed.

Winning the regular season Big West championship would serve as a consolation prize for this hungry squad that wants a taste of the postseason. Winning the Big West Conference Tournament includes a bid to the NCAA Tournament, where CSUF has not been since the year 2000.
