Titan races to the top Mechanical engineering major wins $200,000 scholarship, on the road to driving success

RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan A Cal State Fullerton sophomore is careening through the amateur sports car ranks at amazing speeds for a chance at climbing the ladder to professional driver status, all while keeping up with the demands of school. Kenton Koch, a sophomore mechanical engineering major, whipped his car around corners and gunned it down straightaways in the 2014 Mazda MX-5 Cup on Oct. 3 to win $200,000 in scholarship money. “When you work that hard and then you actually achieve what you’re trying to get–there’s no better feeling than that,” Koch said. Mazda and Skip Barber Racing School teamed up to create a series of races where young adults between the ages of 18-22 have the chance to win scholarship money to continue competing with one thing in mind––being noticed in the racing world and eventually becoming a professional. “Driving isn’t just about turning the wheel and pushing the pedals, it actually takes some talent and effort and experience to learn how to do it,” Koch said. After the Mazda MX-5 Cup, the U.S. National Sporting Association selected Koch to compete against drivers from 11 different countries in the FIA Institute Young Driver Excellence Academy regional qualifier for the Americas this past week. “They could have chosen anyone. There are a lot of drivers in the U.S., but they chose me. It was cool to have been chosen,” Koch said. “To win basically says that I am one of the best drivers in the Americas.” Koch triumphed over the 11 other drivers, surpassing them in psychological, fitness and speed tests. This victory has guaranteed him a spot in the Young Driver Academy, which will be held in five different European countries over five separate weeks, starting at the end of November and ending in July. Koch has to balance his success as a driver with his responsibilities as a student. He explains that being on good terms with his professors is key, but some professors are not always willing to let Koch make up his missing quizzes or tests, so he has to work hard on other assignments to make up for it. “Race car drivers have a shelf life,” he said. “If you don’t make a statement within that age bracket, people won’t really look at you. You get too old, and people won’t want to see you.” Koch said he explained to his professors how racing isn’t only a hobby to him, but also a potential way of making a living. SEE RACE

Celebrating the dead

Chicana and Chicano Studies Alliance club hosts Dia De Los Muertos celebration

CYNTHIA PLEITEZ Daily Titan The Chicana and Chicano Studies Alliance (C@SA) hosted its annual Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration at Cal State Fullerton to commemorate the lives of deceased loved ones. Falling on Nov. 1-2 of each year and coinciding with the Catholic All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day holidays, Dia De Los Muertos is celebrated from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 throughout Mexico and America.

A colorful, adorned altar covered with flowers, food, beverages and photographs was displayed in front of the Humanities and Social Sciences Building. In Mexican culture, the food and beverages represent the favorite indulgences of the now deceased members being commemorated. Adjacent to the altar, a cross and candles lay on the floor for students to pray, give blessings and celebrate the lives of those lost. A microphone was positioned in front of the altar for students to recite poetry. “We are basically trying to remember our loved ones who

have passed in a celebration. Instead of seeing death as a mourning process, we want to see death as a natural part of life and just take this time to commemorate all of those that passed along,” said Martha Contreras, co-chair of C@ SA. While the colorful altar adorned with sugar skulls may cause some students to confuse Dia De Los Muertos with Halloween, Contreras wants students to understand the cultural significance and difference of the two holidays.

Former Titan motivates students

Rodney Anderson uses his tragic story as a way to help inspire and guide students

DARRELL KING Daily Titan Rodney Anderson had dreams of playing in the National Basketball Association, but after an incident that left him paralyzed from the waist down, he found a new purpose for his life. Anderson, 33, who received a full basketball scholarship to Cal State Fullerton in 1999, went back home to Los Angeles to see his mother one night after returning from a trip with the team his freshman year. While hanging out in his old neighborhood in South Central, Anderson was shot in his back four times. He was 18-years-old. “I never saw his face before it happened,” Anderson said. “After he shot me, my friends ran because he was still shooting at them too.” When Anderson arrived at the hospital, he was rushed into surgery and was asked by a doctor if he wanted to stay awake or go to sleep. For Anderson, it was a no-brainer. “I just wanted them to put me to sleep, because I didn’t want to feel anymore pain,” Anderson said. Doctors believed that Anderson, who was in a medically-induced coma, wasn’t going to survive. They informed his parents

that they gave Anderson 24 hours to live, but Anderson continued to fight. The 24 hours turned into 72 hours. Doctors couldn’t explain how Anderson was still living. They later informed his parents that while he was improving, there was damage done to his spine, and even if he did survive, he would never be the same. Anderson was put on life support for about a week, but defied the odds and made it out alive. However, he was deemed paralyzed. Anderson was forced to take an entire year off

from school for rehab. Playing basketball was no longer an option. Anderson had a difficult time coming to terms with that reality. His life at the time revolved around the sport. Everything, from his goals to the people he admired, was tied to sports. “It’s like everything you worked for your whole entire life has now been taken away,” Anderson said. Anderson decided to use his experiences to help students who grew up in neighborhoods similar to the one he grew up in. He is now the head coordinator of the Male Success

Initiative at CSUF. MSI is a program geared towards the academic and retention success of African-American males at CSUF. Anderson has become a mentor for students. His impact is evident. Trajon Felton, a sophomore and MSI member, considers him a huge influence. “Out of all of the people I’ve met here, he’s probably the humblest person you can meet. He’s a great guy to talk to about anything,” Felton said. Felton recognizes Anderson as an inspiration because he was able to turn

his negative situation into a teaching experience for students. Anderson has also impacted Demetrius Lykes, a CSUF senior. Lykes describes Anderson as a role model and a great advisor. “I think he is a big aspect to black students on campus and the black community … he’s just a great leader,” Lykes said. Although he is an inspiration to many, Anderson said that his family is the source of his motivation. His wife, Monique, played an integral part in his recovery. SEE MENTOR

“We’re always getting compliments, especially this year, it’s a little bit bigger than we’ve had it before. It’s always really colorful and really inviting,” Contreras said. “It also gets students asking questions like ‘What’s going on, is this Halloween?’ Which is a perfect time to say ‘No Dia De Los Muertos is not Halloween, it’s a separate event that celebrates life and death.’” The celebration began with Danza Azteca (Aztec Dance), Ballet Folklórico (folkloric ballet), mask and face painting and ended with a mariachi performance and candlelit vigil.

Photos displayed on the altar hit close to home with Fullerton students and community members. “Throughout the past week, we’ve been inviting people to bring in pictures, so it’s just campus members who want to bring in their pictures and commemorate their loved ones,” Contreras said. Dia De Los Muertos celebrations will continue Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with a Frida Kahlo and Cesar Chavez altar dedicated by MEChA, face painting, piñata making, balloon decorating and performances by Ballet Folklórico de CSUF, Son Jarocho and Toyacan Danza Azteca Unidos.

Students relieve stress with puppy cuddles Pre-Veterinary Club hosts adoptable dogs from German Shepherd Rescue of OC

HEATHER MYERS Daily Titan Students stressed about midterms and studying got some furry relief in the form of puppy therapy this week. When the CSUF Pre-Veterinary Club hosted its puppy therapy sessions Tuesday and Wednesday, students had the chance to spend a few minutes destressing with the licks and nips of adorable puppies. Arturo Muñoz, president of the Pre-Veterinary Club, said the club wanted to bring animals to campus to benefit students and also bring awareness to the veterinary medicine profession. “Dogs help relieve stress,” Munoz said. “They give that unconditional love. It’s a nice 15-minute break to play with puppies and just relieve some stress during all these midterms and exams going

on for students.” The puppies ranged in age from three months to two years and were brought to campus by the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County (GSROC). The rescue puts on events all throughout the county in hopes of providing the dogs with loving homes, said Mera Zero, a CSUF alumna and volunteer for GSROC. GSROC is a nonprofit organization which rescues and finds homes for purebred German Shepherds. They host dogs as old as 12 years old that need homes. “We just want to get them into a home so that they are comfortable the rest of their time here on Earth,” Zero said. The puppy therapy event attracted hundreds of students wanting to cuddle the canines during the past two days. During the event, groups of 20 students were let in for three minutes to pet and play with the puppies. The turnout was greater

than Muñoz could have imagined. “We posted a picture on social media and it just blew up. It had 10,000 views and we were just amazed by it,” Muñoz said. Pre-Vet club members, as well as volunteers from GSROC, were there to supervise and handle the dogs. The club launched in April of this year and started with only six members. Since then, membership has expanded to 25 aspiring veterinarians. “Since CSUF does not have a pre-vet program, I feel like it is really important that we have a program or a foundation of a support team to help students who really want to pursue this interest at CSUF,” Muñoz said. Each month, the club will host an event in hopes of further expansion of their membership. Muñoz wants to bring awareness to the veterinary profession by continuing to bring animals on campus.

Sleep pods delivered to SRC for trial period Students will be able to try out and provide feedback on nap pods during two-week trial

AMBER UDDIN Daily Titan Beginning this week, a MetroNaps EnergyPod will be in the Student Recreation Center for a two-week trial for students to test out and provide feedback on a possible permanent installation of the pods. The pod retails at $12,985, and is designed to lull users to sleep with a combination of soothing sounds and positioning meant to take pressure off of the cardiovascular system. The pod blocks out most light and sound, and when it’s time to wake up, the pod uses vibration, light and movement to rouse the user. Bringing the pod to campus for a trial-run is a collaborative effort to promote student health and wellness between Titan Recreation and the Student Health and Counseling Center. Some students had first seen the pods in the movie The Internship, which starred Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, and suggested that the campus have something like that available for students, said Keith Fonseca, Director of Titan Recreation. The health center has been conducting multiple research studies on sleep and also offered sleeping programs, Fonseca said.

The San Francisco Giants won their third World Series in five years Wednesday when they defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-2. Pitcher Madison Bumgarner was named the series most valuable player. He had a 3-0 record, with just one run allowed and 17 strikeouts in 21 innings pitched. Bumgarner is the first pitcher to win three games in a single World Series since Randy Johnson in 2001. Bumgarner pitched five scoreless innings of relief Wednesday just three days after pitching a complete game shutout in game five. His 52.2 innings pitched are the most ever thrown by a pitcher in a single postseason. - MICHAEL HUNTLEY

Earhart plane part found The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) has announced that the aluminum sheet discovered on the island Nikumaroro in 1991 is a likely match for the patch which was added to Amelia Earhart’s plane in 1937, according to NBC News. The dimensions, proportions and rivet patterns appear to be a match for the patch which was a field modification made to Earhart’s Lockheed Electra plane in Miami during her famous world flight. TIGHAR has compared the piece, known as Artifact V 2-2-V-1, to a restored Electra plane. The patterns on the aluminum also match photos taken of Earhart’s plane after the installations of the window patch. - JAMIE CORPUZ

OC Board approves shelters MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

The MetroNaps EnergyPod was installed in the Student Recreation Center for a short trial period Wednesday.

Lack of sleep has been an issue on this campus for quite some time, Fonseca said. “One in 5 CSUF students report that sleep difficulties negatively impact their academic performance,” according to a 2014 Student Health and Counseling Center study. Napping enhances information processing and learning, according to the National Institutes of Health. CSUF is just one of many campuses exploring the idea of napping stations for students. University of Michigan, Texas A&M, Harvard University and UCLA are also looking into purchasing the EnergyPods or installing a nap station. The effort to encourage napping isn’t limited to universities, either. Companies such as Google, AOL and

Huffington Post Media have pods in their offices to increase productivity. “Harvard researchers estimate that sleep deprivation costs America $63.2 billion in lost productivity every year,” according to the manufacturer. At CSUF, however, one concern among students is hygiene and how the pods will be kept clean. The SRC has disinfectant spray bottles and towels available for users as a supplement to the regular cleaning by SRC staff. “The goal here at Titan Recreation is to bring in more wellness programming,” Fonseca said. Results from feedback gathered from the nap pods may result in other solutions, like having a nap room with cots.

The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to open seasonal homeless shelters in Fullerton and Santa Ana armories. These shelters will open as early as Nov. 10 and stay open until mid-April. Supervisors voted to shift $500,000 from year-round shelter operations to seasonal shelters. In July, the board approved $3.6 million to purchase a building to serve as a permanent shelter, but Santa Ana City Council voted last week to put a 45-day moratorium on new homeless shelters in the city. According to county data, an estimated 12,700 people in Orange County were homeless in 2013. - ROSELYNNE REYES

Engineering clubs wind up for pumpkin launch Nearly 20 teams will compete Saturday morning at the annual pumpkin launch

ANDREW MCLEAN For the Daily Titan Once the Halloween celebrations end, engineering students at Cal State Fullerton step in to get rid of leftover pumpkins in style. Six CSUF clubs and 11 other college and community teams will participate in the Seventh Annual Pumpkin Launch Saturday morning. Last year, the CSUF Society of Women Engineers (SWE) claimed first place at the event and will be looking to defend their title. The second place award last year also went to a CSUF club, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), another

CSUF club, tied for third. ASCE spent the past six weeks modifying what they hope will turn out to be the winning device this weekend. The club hopes to have learned from the mistakes of their past. “Two years ago we did a sling shot, it didn’t really work. Last year, we had a fixed pivot catapult. It worked good, but it wasn’t very accurate,” said John Stapleton, a civil engineering major and ASCE team member. Stapleton said he believes the modifications made on their device for this year will bring them back to the winners stand. “We just saw lots of ideas from last year and saw that this one worked a lot better than previous ones,” Stapleton said. ASCE’s trebuchet-style launcher stands about 14 feet tall. The device uses

the alignment of wood, the placement of wheels along with a weighted counterbalance system to launch a pumpkin far, but hopefully with accuracy as well. To fund their launching device, ASCE received a donation from Inter-Club Council (ICC). They also recycled the wood from their device last year. Uksun Kim, Ph.D., chair of the civil and environmental engineering department, said something needed to be improved from the launcher ASCE used last year. Kim said he was impressed with ASCE’s efforts of balancing the burdens of school, while still having the time to improve their launching device from last year. “I’m pretty sure just from looking at this part of it, there will be some improvement compared to the

OC Registrar seeks more poll workers Hundreds more poll workers are required to work polling places for Nov. 4 election

RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan The Nov. 4 elections may only be a few days away, but the Orange County Registrar is still looking for hundreds of poll workers throughout the county to help election day run smoothly. On election day, the OC Registrar will rely on about 6,000 people to work the polls, and about a third of them are students, said Neal Kelley, Registrar of Voters for Orange County. A couple hundred workers are still needed, particularly in Newport Beach and South Orange County, Kelley said.

The requirements to become a poll worker are simple: applicants must be U.S. citizens and be registered to vote in California, or lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S. Applicants must be an eligible high school student or older. Also, poll workers must have transportation to their assigned polling location. In order to train for the position, the prospective poll worker will need access to the Internet to take an online training course or attend in-class training. They will offer classes all the way through Monday. “We will recruit people all the way through Sunday night, possibly Monday morning. Because not only do we have in-class

classes that are 3-and-ahalf hours long, but we have online classes as well,” Kelley said. They are still looking for inspectors to supervise the polling places and clerks to work the polls. Volunteering to be a poll worker gets people involved in their community by helping assist voters, and is another way to earn some extra cash. All poll workers will be compensated with a stipend ranging from $75 to $175 depending on the assignment. Those who are bilingual receive an additional $15 if they are assigned to provide language assistance to voters. Those interested can volunteer by calling (714) 954-1901 or by visiting ocvote.com/volunteer.

PAGE 4 OCTOBER 30, 2014 THURSDAY

LAUREN GAMACHE Daily Titan The Muckenthaler Cultural Center’s current gallery, Hispanic Weavings: The Romero Collection of Blankets from the Rio Grande Valley, Mexico and South America features Frank Romero’s collection of over 35 different weavings. Romero, a prominent member of the Los Angeles art community, was also a part of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four. He and his fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto de la Rocha and Gilbert Lujan helped to define and promote cultural awareness of Hispanic life in Los Angeles through murals, publications and exhibits. Their historic 1974

exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the country’s first show of Chicano art at a major art institution. This exhibition was important because it was one of the first exhibitions that showed Los Angeles art as “bright and celebratory,” said Matthew Leslie, director of exhibitions at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center. Leslie noticed the weavings while working with Romero on another show. “He had a lot of these wonderful weavings out and he would point at them and say ‘I really love this,’” Leslie said. It was then that Leslie decided to do a show exhibiting the weavings. Romero has been collecting weavings for about 40 years and has traveled all over looking for pieces to

add to his collection, but he didn’t share this specific collection until it debuted at the Muckenthaler. What is special about his collection is that it is not comprehensive of a specific culture. Instead, it focuses on three distinct areas. Although these weav-

Town said that this is a unique collection of weavings that showcases several different styles and encourages inspiring artists to come look at Romero’s collection for ideas. This is the only time that Romero will be at the center to elaborate on his collection. The Muckenthaler Cultural Center is a nonprofit organization located in Fullerton which showcases multiple cultures. The center tries to focus on one exhibit a year that has a Hispanic background. This center has sister cities in Korea and Japan, and showcases art from these

different cultures throughout the year. Along with showcasing art from around the world, the center focuses on local artists from Fullerton and Southern California to present a broad spectrum of art. The house was built in the 1920s for the Muckenthaler family who represent three important founding families of Orange County. The family donated the house in the late ‘60s to the city and exhibitions opened in 1969. The center also holds festivals, art classes and performances all year long. The collection is currently on display at the center from Oct. 16 to Dec. 31. It is free to the public. The gallery is open Wednesday-Sunday from 12-4 p.m.

Searching... for Mr. Right | Looking for love the old-fashioned way A student shares her views on meeting men through the social media app Tinder

KALEY WILLIAMS Daily Titan I was raised to view the world with a vintage mindset; men are expected to act like gentlemen, homes should be filled with warmth, fresh baked cookies and love is everlasting. Relationships are meant to begin through lingering stares across crowded coffee shops and moments of serendipity.

“

I know that finding a man my age with similar values in the 21st century may be difficult, but it isn’t impossible.

“

In that sense, I retain the same naïveté that I was raised with, because I still hold on to hopes that love begins that way. I was in a relationship for two years with a wonderful man who taught me that romances aren’t always created in whirlwind fashion. Some are built while sitting side by side in sweatpants on worn out couches. He showed me that date night isn’t always enjoyed at a candlelit table, sometimes it’s spent eating pizza and fighting over who’s better at Star Wars: Battlefront.

majority of male users on Tinder are just looking for something to last for a night or two, but I did actually come across some really nice guys. My problem was that I let the app’s reputation predetermine the motives of the guys that I was planning to meet. I assumed that because I met them via a “hook-up” app, all they wanted was to “hook up.” So I flaked. I would make plans with a guy, and then a day or two in advance, I would come up with an excuse not to make it. I enjoy the excitement that comes with the first time you go out with someone you have a romantic interest in, but I didn’t like that I wasn’t sure whether my Tinder match’s interests were purely physical, so I eventually deleted my account. I was brought up with a traditional mindset, and I know that finding a man my age with similar values in the 21st century may be difficult, but it isn’t impossible. It didn’t seem fair for me to make plans that I couldn’t bring myself to follow through with, so I eliminated the option. For those who embrace sparking romances via technology, good for you. It’s practical, and from what I hear, it is possible to make real connections that way, but it just isn’t for me. I’ll stick to coffee shops and serendipity, and as naive as it sounds, a belief in love that’s everlasting.

OPINION All work and no play is bad for everyone

PAGE 6 OCTOBER 30, 2014 THURSDAY

FRANCISCO REYES Daily Titan Americans took less vacation days in 2013 than at any point in the past four decades. While there are multiple factors behind this trend that would make for a good Bruce Springsteen song, this is not something Americans should wear as a badge of honor. Instead, they should take this as a wake-up call to put their lives into perspective. The study, titled, “All Work and No Pay: The Impact of Forfeited Time Off” found that American

workers left 4.9 of 21 days of paid vacation on the table, which equates to $52.4 billion forfeited in paid vacation collectively. U.S. workers took 20.3 days of vacation each year from 1976 to 2000. That figure has dropped incrementally since then. Today, the average American takes only 16 days of vacation annually. Whether the lack of vacation time on the part of workers is voluntary or the result of pressure from employers is irrelevant. The fact that Americans are taking less vacation time than ever has a variety of negative impacts. Chiefly, workers are substantially less productive when they’re overworked. Mark Rosekind of

Alertness Solutions found that simply taking time off for a vacation can increase a person’s work performance by 80 percent and reaction time by 40 percent. There’s also a substantial economic opportunity that

their vacation time, according to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management. Other companies have done away with the rollover vacation days that allow employees to accumulate paid vacation days for several years as a way to ensure their employees are

not overworked. Just like there are companies that see the benefits in their employees taking time off to be more productive, there are companies that have taken a different approach to reach the same goal. MetroNaps, which calls itself a “fatigue management solutions” company, has been working on workplace sleeping pods since 2003. Their EnergyPod chair is the first chair ever designed for employees to take naps in the workplace. Their official website has a section that briefly lists the four benefits of napping: increased alertness, productivity, well-being and learning. All four benefits, of

course, are made possible by their pod, which costs $12,985. Or you could save $13,000 by getting rest the way grandpa used to and leave the office. It’s hard to blame MetroNaps for trying to cash in on an existing niche market. The real problem lies in the fact that this company is a viable business. This speaks volumes of where we place our perspective. It may seem tempting to not take vacation time, especially for those who work in a busy atmosphere. However, research has shown it’s better to live a lifestyle that’s the subject of a Jimmy Buffett song than a Bruce Springsteen one. It’s five o’clock somewhere.

SB 1210 a good first step for student equality The measure will allow undocumented students to procure loans for their education.

ANDREW MCLEAN For the Daily Titan The United States of America is a land that couldn’t exist as it does today without the contributions of people from other parts of the world. Throughout history, people of all different cultures, ethnic backgrounds and relgions came to this land in search of their own version of the “American Dream,” which James Truslow Adams defined as, “Life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” Unfortunately, in the 21st century, it seems that America’s immigration-based history has been forgotten by many different groups. As a nation built by immigrants, there needs to be a serious and abrupt change in how we treat undocumented immigrants in our country today. The passage of SB 1070, a law that subjects undocumented immigrants in Arizona to the searches and apprehensions similar to those that criminals are subjected to, has made Arizona an unfriendly and unwelcoming place for immigrants. These types of searches aren’t the only abuses undocumented individuals have to deal with. In California and across the country, we see immigrants facing difficulties

on the educational front. Though undocumented immigrants have the access to Cal Grants, there are financial gaps in educational prices of up to $8,000 that some are unable to overcome. Undocumented residents must be granted the same opportunities as the rest of us. We as Americans cannot logically expect someone who does not have the same resources as U.S. citizens to reach the same level of success. Fortunately, undocumented immigrants moved a step closer to having the

same opportunities on Sept. 28 when Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1210. SB 1210 will allow undocumented immigrants to receive college loans. This program will operate through the DREAM Act program, and will be implemented at all University of California and California State University campuses. Linda Leu, California policy and research director for Young Invincibles, said she supports the approval of the legislation. “Higher education is critical for young people

looking to advance in today’s economy, but young undocumented Californians haven’t had equal access to higher education,” Leu said. California has taken steps in helping immigrants attain an education by allowing undocumented immigrants who have graduated from California high schools to be eligible for Cal Grant scholarships, as well as in-state tuition. The signing of SB 1210 will only benefit California. With this bill implemented, undocumented immigrants can get a college

education easier. Then,they can become contributing members to society by helping out their community or our nation with the skills they have acquired from college. “This bill will grow our college-educated workforce and make good on the promise that a college degree is possible for all hard working California students, regardless of immigration status,” Sen. Ricardo Lara said in a statement to the Sacramento Bee. This bill will prompt undocumented immigrants to

look at college as a financial possibility, and it gives them the hopes of providing a comfortable living for themselves in the future. Business major Martin Licea, 22, is the son of two undocumented immigrants. He said there are positive benefits to making education more accessible to undocumented students. “Immigrants will always be grateful towards the U.S. because this country gave them an opportunity and they will be able to come back and help,” Licea said. “The more people that are educated in this country, it really can’t hurt. In the long run, I think it can help out the economy.” SB 1210 will cost UCs $3.6 million and CSUs $1.5 million annually. The state general fund contributes matching amounts to both funds, according to an analysis from the Assembly Appropriations Committee reported in the San Jose Mercury News. There are limitations to SB 1210. No student will be able to exceed the financial need of more than $4,000 within any academic year. Students will also be barred from receiving more than $20,000 at any one institution. Refusing undocumented immigrants the right to utilize loans to better themselves is unfair considering they came here for the same reason that our ancestors did; to attain a better life. SB 1210 might not be perfect, but it’s a great start for evening the educational playing field.

The Titans struggled offensively in their first game against the Rainbow Wahine, failing to score over 19 in a set and hitting just .077.

Titans to host Hawaii CSUF hopes to avenge their 3-0 loss to Hawaii on Oct. 3 Saturday at Titan Gym

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball returns to Titan Gym after a two-match road trip to play the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Saturday. The two teams previously met at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu on Oct. 3. CSUF was swept in three sets. The Titans came out firing in the first set of that match and took a 7-1 lead. CSUF was up 11-8 when Hawaii went on a 12-1 run and never looked back. The Rainbow Wahine won that set 25-18, and the Titans failed to score over 20 points in any of the three sets. No Titan player had double-digit kills and Holland Crenshaw led the offense with seven kills. CSUF had an abysmal .077 hitting percentage compared to the Rainbow Wahine, who hit .296 with eight service aces.

The Titan team that Hawaii played is different than the team they will encounter Saturday. It was on the Hawaii trip that Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman informed sophomore McKenna Painton that she would be moved to outside hitter in the near future. “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.” Painton has thrived in her role as outside hitter and had four consecutive double-doubles, a streak that was just broken last Saturday at UC Irvine. She has led the team in kills in four out of five matches since getting rid of her libero jersey. Her teammates deserve a lot of credit for her success at outside hitter, a position

she played in high school before becoming a libero at CSUF. “My teammates helped me a lot as far as positioning and making sure I was comfortable on the outside,” Painton said. The Titans are coming off a 3-1 loss to UC Irvine, another match where they jumped on their opponents early but were unable to maintain their offensive success throughout. CSUF hit .222 in the first set, but finished only hitting .099 for the match. Niki Withers led the offense with 17 kills. Hawaii is on the verge of returning to the top 25 of the NCAA RPI rankings. They are currently ranked 30 in the nation after backto-back Big West Conference wins. Hawaii was ranked No. 20 when the two teams previously met. Legendary coach Dave Shoji leads the Rainbow Wahine. He is the winningest coach in NCAA Division I women’s volleyball history and has won four national

championships during his 40-year reign as head coach. The Rainbow Wahine are in second place in the Big West standings largely due to their blockers. They lead the conference in blocks per set with 3.02. The duo of Olivia Magill and Kalei Adolpho are among the elite in the Big West in blocks per set with 1.47 and 1.17, respectively. Hawaii also serves very well. They have 111 service aces on the season, compared to the Titans who have 97. Tai Manu-Olevao and Tayler Higgins lead the conference in service aces per set. The Titans are in second to last place in the Big West, only ahead of UC Riverside. But they are better at Titan Gym than on the road. They hit .176 in their 11 home matches, compared to .153 on the road, and have 12.73 kills per set in Titan Gym. Fullerton needs to pick up their play in November if they want to climb the Big West standings and avoid finishing in the bottom two.

Late goal stuns CSUF men’s soccer

The Titans dropped to third place in the Big West South Division after falling to UCI

RUDY CHINCHILLA Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team suffered their fourth loss in Big West Conference play Wednesday, succumbing to UC Irvine 1-0 at Titan Stadium. The game was a tale of two halves. Fullerton controlled the proceedings in the first half by dominating play on the wings. However, Irvine came out as the aggressors in the second half, stretching the field by moving the ball around well. “They made their shots, we didn’t. That’s it. We had plenty of chances to finish these guys easily, and we didn’t,” said CSUF Head Coach George Kuntz. “We kept them in the game and they finished a shot. They made the play.” The first offensive action of the game came by way of Titan midfielder Ian Ramos. In the second minute, he collected on the left and performed a series of stepovers to create space. However, his shot from 18 yards went straight at UCI goalkeeper Michael Breslin. The Titans were on the offensive once again in the third minute when Amara Soumah created space down the right flank. His cross into the box found the head of teammate Ritchie Gonzalez, but the unmarked midfielder headed the ball wide of the net. Marc Fenelus was active in the 14th minute. He controlled the ball down the left side and picked out Gonzalez toward the center. Gonzalez let loose from 25 yards, but Breslin dived

low to slap the ball out of danger just in time. Fullerton continued to pile on the pressure. One minute before the end of the first half, Ramos sparked a counterattack from the Fullerton half. He passed to Dyllan Stevens on the left side of the pitch, but Stevens could only fire straight at Breslin after dribbling into the box. The first half ended with not many clear-cut opportunities for either team. The Titans did manage to

hold the Anteaters to two shots, none of which troubled Fullerton goalkeeper Jeff Salt. The Anteaters came to life in the second half. In the 54th minute, the UCI offense moved the ball around uncontested in the Fullerton box. Midfielder Eduardo Calzada received the ball, but fired over the crossbar after three CSUF defenders closed him down. Salt was forced into a save in the 71st minute off a shot by Cameron Iwasa,

who fired a bullet from 25 yards out. The ball seemed destined for the back of the net, but Salt leaped off the ground to palm it over the crossbar. The game quickly got physical, and the Titans were on the wrong side of many officiating decisions, which upset Kuntz. Despite the questionable officiating, the game continued. Tempers escalated both on the pitch and on the sideline. The breakthrough goal

finally came in the 84th minute when UCI’s Noah Gaines crossed to Gerardo Gonzalez from the right flank. Gonzalez chested the ball down to Mario Ortiz, who surged unmarked into the box off the late run. Ortiz feinted left, but shot low and to the right, beating Salt and his defenders in the process. With the win, UCI now has a three point advantage in the Big West South Division standings. The Titans still have a chance to rise to the top of

the standings. “Our goal is still to be the top team in the conference,” Kuntz said. “That team can still lose to the next two teams that they play.” The Titans need to rebound quickly for their Saturday matchup with UC Riverside. “We’re gonna come out stronger than we did today,” sophomore Mitchell Bell said. “We’re gonna come out tougher, definitely more organized at the back. We’re gonna be more focused, that’s for sure.”
