The recently purchased 3-D printers will shave significant time off student engineering projects, eliminating the need to send projects to off-site manufacturers.

A new dimension in printing

College of Engineering and Computer Science purchases 3-D printers SAMUEL MOUNTJOY Daily Titan In a massive machine shop filled with lathes, band saws and computer controlled mills, three brightly-lit 3-D printers look unimposing, but they represent a paradigm shift in engineering. Weeks ago, the College of Engineering and Computer Science bought the Airwolf 3D HD2x from a Costa Mesa-based manufacturer and within a day, students were using the printer to create custom objects made from durable plastic. Just a decade ago, the kind of 3-D printing being done in the Cal State Fullerton machine shop was done on extremely high-priced machines in the workshops of engineering and design corporations. Now, students can take the 3-D models they are designing in their classes using software like SolidWorks or Pro/ENGINEER and print them directly to see how they function in the real world. “If we can design it on a screen, we can manufacture it directly,” said Raman Unnikrishnan, Ph.D., dean of the College of Engineering

and Computer Science. “The near future is already here.” As student engineers work on their senior design projects, the 3-D printers can cut out multiple stages of the engineering process. Students no longer need to send their designs to a manufacturer to create a mold and then wait for the manufacturer to send it back, the 3-D printers can print the projects in a few hours in the machine shop. “It shortens the design cycle for sure,” Unnikrishnan said. “Students have very limited time, a semester goes by very quickly when you have a lot of complicated engineering projects.” The objects created by the printer can be a final product, but often they are a stage of engineering. Once a part is printed, the engineer may realize that it needs to be slightly smaller or other adjustments need to be made. With the new printers, the engineer can go back on the computer, make modifications and have a new model on very short notice. Once the design is finalized, molds of it can be made and the finished product can easily be mass produced.

Students will be able to take digital designs from programs and create physical products using the 3-D printers.

Parts can even be downloaded from the Internet and printed directly, said Jonathan Woodland, the mechanical technician and

graduate student who oversees the machine shop. SEE PRINTERS

Event will serve up student questions ‘Pizza with Presidents’ aims to create conversation between students and CSUF leaders

CESAR GAMBOA Daily Titan Grab a slice of pizza and serve up your questions. Cal State Fullerton President Mildred García and Associated Students, Inc. President Harpreet Bath will host “Pizza with the Presidents” Thursday at noon in an effort to interact with students, faculty and campus community through an open-forum discussion. Hosted once a semester, the event gives students a chance to ask questions and air their concerns to a panel that includes García, Bath and university leaders. “I’m always open to anything (students) want to talk about,” Bath said. “I think any and all questions are open, and I’m just very excited to talk to our students.”

CSUF President Mildred García, ASI President Harpreet Bath and a panel of university leaders will field student questions and concerns at ‘Pizza with the Presidents’ Thursday.

The event’s goal is to make students more comfortable asking questions about CSUF directly to

the university and student body presidents, Bath said. The open dialogue

format of the event fosters a sense of accountability, transparency and connection between students and

the university, he added. “Most of the time we’re focused solely on concerns, but there’s also a lot of good things that are happening at this university that students get a chance to hear about, students get a chance to listen about and really feel good about,” Bath said. Students are encouraged to participate by asking questions about the presidents, future university plans, the current state of Associated Students and CSUF, or any issues they have concerns about. Previous “Pizza with the Presidents” events have addressed topics such as the university strategic plan, budget cuts, the campus smoking ban and the Student Success Initiative fees. “It’s how we communicate and connect with our students. We connect oneon-one,” Bath said. “We want our students to feel good about being here.”

Adrián Tió, Nan Goggin and Noel Zahler, the three candidates for dean of the College of Arts, visited campus last week to make their case presentation and answer questions from the campus. “I think the search committee did an excellent job at finding candidates that were qualified for the position. All three have great and different strengths that are truly in need for the College of the Arts,” said John D. Spiak, director of Cal State Fullerton Grand Central Art Center. A search committee will decide who to elect. Adrián Tió Tió’s background in art is well noted. Tió serves as the current dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He received degrees from both Temple University and the University of Cincinnati, doing post-baccalaureate study at the Tyler School of Art in Rome. During his presentation, he emphasized how much fundraising is more about “friendraising” — building good relationships with people. As dean at Massachusetts Dartmouth, Tió said he learned how to collaborate with drawing people, historians, the visual arts, as well as different artists throughout the theater, dance and music departments. Teaching is something dear to Tió, he said, adding that he’s always intrigued by student work. “Every now and then, I will put something out there for a group of students and someone will come up with a solution I didn’t see coming, and that’s what I like, that ‘a-ha moment,’” Tió said. “Students always teach me probably as much as I teach them, and that’s the beauty of teaching.” Nan Goggin Goggin is currently the director of the School of Art Design at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and also serves as the art editor of Ninth Letter, the arts and literary project produced by the School of Art and Design’s Graduate Creative Writing Program. Goggin did her undergraduate work at Michigan State, earned her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Florida and is an award-winning designer and known pioneer of electronic art. Goggin explained to faculty that she considers art a collaborative effort. “To me, the arts is a place where people connect. It’s a place where thinking happens collectively,” Goggin said. SEE DEANS

The Iraqi government reported more than 300 Iraqi Sunnis were killed by ISIS in a series of recent executions, according to CNN. The 322 victims were part of the Albu Nimr tribe. The latest execution occurred Saturday, when ISIS militants reportedly took tribe members from their homes to the nearby town of Hit, killing 75 people. Hit has been at the center of the conflict between ISIS fighters and Albu Nimr members. Last month, ISIS captured the city after weeks of fighting with tribe members. A Pentagon spokesman said there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of the numbers reported by the Iraqi government.

Following nine years as the executive director of ASI with a tenure that includes development of the SRC and Children’s Center, Fred Sanchez will retire at the end of this year.

ASI executive director to retire Fred Sanchez’s tenure included SRC development and planning for TSU expansion

KATHERINE PICAZO Daily Titan Executive Director of Associated Students, Inc. Fred Sanchez announced his plans to retire after nine years of operating Cal State Fullerton’s Associated Students. His retirement will be effective at the end of the calendar year. Since 2005, Sanchez has had a hand in multiple university developments, including the development of the Student Recreation Center and the Children’s Center, which were completed under his administration. His contributions to the university also include support of both Associated Students and the Titan Student Centers in their endeavors to maintain student involvement. A growth in budget has allowed for an expansion

in student programming for both groups, Sanchez said. Sanchez also had a role in the $20 million expansion of the Titan Student Union, which is currently in planning stages. The expansion of the Student Union will help serve CSUF’s growing population of nearly 40,000 students, Sanchez said. “It is a new adventure for me, I’ve never retired before, but it’s time to retire,” Sanchez said. “I have a lot of interests that I want to pursue, and it’s going to be a good opportunity for me.” Sanchez said he would like to see the Student Union built out according to the master plan that will allow Associated Students to continue to increase student programming. “I’d like to see continuing of expansion in programming, and opportunities for students to be engaged with the college,” Sanchez said. Every day, approximately

7,000 students walk into the Student Union and over 3,000 walk in to the Recreation Center every day, Sanchez said. Those numbers make the expansions particularly impactful on the campus population. “My accomplishment is enabling all of this to happen,” Sanchez said. “I am proud of what we did.” After his near decade-long tenure at CSUF, Sanchez said his retirement is an opportunity to explore something new. “Fred has been a terrific advocate for students and the mission of the university, and in the role (Associated Students) plays in student life,” said Director of Titan Student Centers Kurt Borsting. “He really helps bring their vision to life.” Associated Students has an important role on campus and the next executive director will have to contribute to student success and student government, Borsting said.

Printers: Sci-fi becomes reality CONTINUED FROM

MIKE TRUJILLO / DAILY TITAN

MATERIAL

• The material used to print objects on a 3-D printer is fed to the printing head from a spool mounted on the side of the printer. • ABS plastic, nylon, high-impact polystyrene and a laundry list of other materials can be used to print 3-D objects. • Two or more colors or materials can be used in the same object.

2 PRINTING HEAD • The printing head heats material to about 240 degrees Fahrenheit, operating similarly to a hot glue gun, albeit much more precisely. • Starting with a small bead of plastic, it builds an object line by line and layer by layer until an object designed in a computer takes shape.

MOVEMENT

• Using a 3-D model designed in software like SolidWorks or Pro/ ENGINEER, the printing head moves on X and Y axes building the rows of material. • Once a layer of the object is done printing, the printing tray that the object is sitting on moves lower and the printer beings the next layer.

Once a 3-D design is fed into the printer, a printing head heats up a bead of plastic filament fed from a spool attached to the machine, much like a hot glue gun. Like pixels in a photo printed from a desktop inkjet printer, the head lays down line after line, starting from the bottom layer of the shape. Once the first layer is done, the printing tray moves down a notch and the machine starts on the next layer. Layers build on each other until something that minutes ago only existed as a file in a computer becomes a solid, tangible object that a designer can hold in his or her hands. The 3-D printers used in the machine shop retail for about $4,000, but Airwolf 3D provided discounts and free merchandise, as well as a second printing head addon which allows printing two different colors or materials at the same time. Unnikrishnan and Woodland were impressed with the company when they visited Airwolf 3D’s headquarters a few months ago and met with Airwolf 3D President Mark Mathews and CEO Erick Wolf. Since then, Wolf and Mathews have paid a visit to the College of ECS and this semester will be working with students on engineering senior projects. Airwolf 3D was honored recently by the OC Tech Alliance with a High-Tech Innovation Award in the Enterprise Hardware and Device category.

4 FINAL PRODUCT • Once an object is finished printing, its application is determined by the task at hand. • It can be a final, usable product, but it can also be a stage in the engineering process. • If the object is found to be the wrong shape, or designed to the wrong specifications, it can be easily remade by adjusting the original 3-D computer model.

UCI prof. catches SCOTUS mistake Supreme Court issues rare correction after law professor finds dissent error

ALEX GROVES Daily Titan It’s not easy catching the nation’s highest court making a mistake, and it’s even harder to get the court to admit to it. But that’s exactly what a UC Irvine law professor did. Richard L. Hasen, chancellor’s professor of law and political science for UC Irvine, played a part in a historic moment when Supreme Court Justice Ruth

Bader-Ginsburg not only amended a mistake in a dissent she wrote on a Texas voter ID case, she also made a rare public announcement about it. Hasen said he discovered the mistake after he wrote an article for Slate about a Texas law that prohibits people from using certain kinds of IDs when they went to vote. The law, Texas Senate Bill 14, requires voters to provide one of a few different forms of photo identification when they go to vote. These include valid Texas

driver’s licenses, state-issued ID cards, veterans IDs, concealed handgun licenses, birth certificates and passports. Hasen said the law makes other forms of photo identification like student IDs inadmissible for voting purposes. The law was challenged under the Voting Rights Act and brought before a trial judge who struck it down. From there, the case made its way to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where the trial judge’s decision was reversed.

It was then argued before the Supreme Court, which said Texas could use its new law in the Tuesday elections. Justices Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor joined in a dissent against the decision of the court. In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg mistakenly wrote that veterans IDs would not be accepted under the Texas law. Hasen quoted a portion of the dissent in his article where Ginsberg said veterans IDs would not be accepted under Texas’ new law.

“And so I put a post up on my election law blog, asking whether or not this was in fact an error,” Hasen said. “Soon after, the Texas Secretary of State’s office tweeted at me and indicated that veterans IDs were indeed OK.” Hasen said he then updated his blog post and it was later picked up by a number of publications, including SCOTUSblog. He said that blog is followed by a number of high ranking officials in the law world, including justices on the Supreme Court.

“About a day later, Justice Ginsburg announced she was changing the opinion and eliminating that one sentence that contained the error,” Hasen said. Hasen said that he was surprised when Ginsburg made her announcements because it’s a fairly uncommon practice for Supreme Court justices to announce when they’ve made a mistake. In most cases, judges will simply make corrections to their statement—sometimes years after the fact—without alerting the public to it.

Launching the great pumpkin

WINNIE HUANG / DAILY TITAN

Cal State Fullerton’s College of Engineering and Computer Science, Discovery Cube Orange County and Future Scientists and Engineers of America hosted the seventh annual Pumpkin Launch last Saturday. Six CSUF teams of engineering students created giant catapults and slingshots to see who could launch their pumpkin the farthest.

Gay undocumented artist prevails BREANNA VASQUEZ For the Daily Titan Revealing your sexual orientation can be distressing, as it changes others’ views on your personal identity. Simultaneously divulging your immigration status can amplify that emotional intensity and insecurity. This was a reality for Julio Salgado. Salgado, DREAM Act activist, showcases the reality of people living in the country without legal permission and the gay community through powerful, expressive and avant-garde drawings that have the ability to inspire. He has found a positive way to intersect the two sensitive issues together through expressive art, showcasing the brute realities of both worlds. Salgado’s personal journey of sexual identification is one that ignites inspiration and encouragement among students. “The process of coming out is huge, but once you tell the person that you are either undocumented or queer … you still have to wait to be accepted,” said CSUF student Javier Marical. Salgado effectively uses his art and life story to inspire Latino students to speak up and face the issues at hand. CSUF art student Teresita De La Torre said that as an artist who also creates art pertaining to social issues, Salgado’s success as an activist inspires her. “It takes a lot of courage, to not only come out as undocumented, but also as a queer man. I just feel really

motivated that I can also come through with some of my struggles,” De La Torre said. Considered an “artivist” (artist and activist), Salgado’s drawings speak to the thousands of undocumented immigrants facing the harsh realities of applying for citizenship. His ability to effectively communicate undocumented and queer issues is what makes him inspiring to queer and undocumented students alike. “As artists, we have to find a way to uplift our voices … We need to create art that challenges the media’s narratives and put our own narrative out there because that’s how we document our existence,” Salgado said. Despite the uplifting nature of his artwork, they are sometimes considered taboo and unconventional; many of his art pieces display nudity and strong expressive language. Salgado also became an activist for the DREAM Act, which permits certain immigrants who have grown up in the U.S. to apply for citizenship under the circumstance that they are attending college or served in the U.S. military. An example of this offbeat art is of a student holding the middle finger up with the words, “I’d rather be undocumented than die for your acceptance,” which was modified after an iconic DREAM Act image of a student in a cap and gown. This rendition was not warmly accepted by other DREAM Act activists, who said the painting perpetrated undocumented immigrants in a negative way. “I don’t believe in going to other countries and shooting people, just to get papers. I respect people who choose to do

Salgado decided to tackle the issue and teamed up with People Organized in Defense of Earth and her Resources, an environmental and social justice organization who takes part in many anti-gentrification projects. Salgado and PODER created a billboard that highlighted the organization’s campaigns that contributed to this effort. Showcasing art as an undocumented immigrant can be terrifying, Salgado said.

Salgado said he is thankful for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act, which allows immigrants who arrived before age 16 a twoyear period to remain in the U.S. temporarily without fear of deportation, and a possibility of renewal. However, he still questions what will become of his parents who cannot apply for DACA. “This idea that we are giving all this information to the government that they didn’t have before, and we don’t know how long it will stay around for, scares me,” Salgado said.

By faking news articles the FBI decreases the credibility of news organizations

AL DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan

COURTESY OF WIKIPEDIA

The FBI’s attempt to capture a criminal crossed boundaries and undermined efforts to create positive perceptions of the press.

According to the FBI, The Seattle Times was never named. However, the fake site resembled that of the newspaper. FBI agent Frank Montoya added in a statement to the Union that the tactic used in this particular case is only used in what he described as “rare circumstances.”

That all may be fine and dandy to the FBI. Still, the

“

scheme should raise concerns on multiple levels, by

The fact that a government agency used a method even remotely close to this dangerous activity should make the hair on everyone’s neck stand on end.

bureau’s decision to participate in such a questionable

“

Government agencies sometimes do whatever they feel is necessary to accomplish their goal of catching people engaged in criminal activities. However, there are times when even these agencies must ask themselves whether they are crossing the line. In their pursuit of criminals, agencies like the FBI could be in the wrong themselves. The FBI is taking heat from media organizations for its shady tactics to catch a suspect involved in a bomb threat case, according to an AFP article. What they did could almost be described as either childish. In 2007, The FBI created a fake Associated Press news article hoping that the suspect would click the article, thereby revealing his location to the FBI. The article would install malware that would essentially track him and provide the FBI with his location. The fake article, which appeared to be in the Seattle Times, was then sent to the suspect’s Myspace account. This disturbing information was only recently discovered when a security research for The American Civil Liberties Union tweeted out a link to the case file. Of course, the bureau is defending its actions in multiple ways.

media and citizen alike. When the FBI associated

the AP and The Seattle Times with their fake story, they compromised every news outlet’s most precious trait: credibility. Every news source, editor and journalist lives and dies by credibility. Without it, trust is lost, and the delicate relationship between a news provider and its readers could be annihilated.

It could singlehandedly derail and ruin a news agency’s reputation. Needless to say, The Seattle Times and AP are not happy. Paul Colford, a spokesman for AP, stated that the news agency found the FBI’s actions unacceptable, and that they violated the name and undermined the credibility of the AP. The Seattle Time’s editorial board went on to say the laudable part of the FBI’s attempt “did not justify the government’s disregard of the role of the press in a free society.” Secondly, there’s the issue of using the Internet to portray a false persona. It wasn’t too long ago that State Farm poked fun at how easy it is to put up a false front on the Internet, since “they can’t put anything on the Internet that isn’t true.” Overweight, dorky, fanny pack-wearing French models aside, it paints a very real picture of something any Internet user should be wary of. There is an online slang term known as “catfish.” A catfish is someone who creates a false, online identity. Catfishing could be anything as simple from giving a fake name to creating full profiles including pictures and bio information. The fact that a government agency used a method even remotely close to this dangerous activity should make the hair on everyone’s neck stand on end. Sure, this time it was only a fake article, but it begs the question of what different fake entities the FBI might decide to create next.

The cost to have Magic Johnson speak at Cal State Fullerton for one night could pay for the annual fees of multiple student clubs, organizations and athletics. This money could be put to better use

Magic Johnson will break the bank JAMES SMITH Daily Titan

Magic Johnson could be coming to talk at Cal State Fullerton in the spring. While it would be undeniably cool to have the former Laker Hall of Famer come to CSUF, his price tag seems beyond excessive. By approval of the Associated Students, Inc. Board of Directors, Johnson could speak at CSUF for a whopping $90,000. Of that $90,000, Associated Students has allocated $40,000 of their budget to the Business Inter-Club Council to pay for

Johnson’s speaking fee. Additional funds to meet the speaking price will come from Anil Puri, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business and Economics, who will match Associated Students and donate $40,000 of his own money. That $40,000 allocated from Associated Students comes directly from student fees. The same student fees that could be be allocated for music, art, theater and study abroad programs. For reference, the funds allocated for Johnson to speak at CSUF equates to over a quarter of the entire arts exhibit budget ($152,400) for 2013-2014,

according to Associated Student’s Instructionally Related Activities Budget. The amount of money to be allocated for the one-time event did receive concerns from the board.

of the event. Additionally giving so much money to just one college might leave other colleges to ask why not us. Disappointingly, these concerns were not enough for the board to dismiss the event.

“

The insight Johnson can provide a college student is questionable at best... Unlike Johnson, the average college student will probably not have international athletic fame to use as a crutch to improve their business prospects.

“

The funds needed for the former NBA all-star to speak at CSUF could be put to better use

Members and executive staff expressed concerns over the relevancy of topics, funding and success

CSUF is an educational institution first, and before Associated Students shells out $40,000 of student

money for Johnson to speak about business, it should make sure that all of its educational opportunities are fully funded first. Cost aside, there must be someone better to address business students about business than a retired athlete. Granted, Johnson has done quite well for himself post basketball career with his company, Magic Johnson Enterprises, which has a net worth of more than $1 billion. Johnson himself is worth about $500 million. That’s a rare feat for a NBA player, where 60 percent of players file bankruptcy within five years of retirement, according to personal budgeting website Mint.com.

The insight Johnson can provide a college student is questionable at best. His path to business success differs significantly compared to the average CSUF student. Unlike Johnson, the average college student will probably not have international athletic fame to use as a crutch to improve their business prospects. Bringing Johnson to CSUF with student money only begs the questions as to why. Why are we paying $40,000? Most importantly, why Magic Johnson? Despite the publicity Johnson would bring if he spoke on campus, the excitement of Johnson does not justify his cost.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

It’s time to adapt to that one person or problem that has been bothering you so much. Things are still good but you just can’t be sure of what comes next if you don’t shift your perspective.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Conflicting ideas make life a little tougher for you and your people today -- but you shouldn’t just cover up the disputes. Get the arguments out in the open and you should get to the truth.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

Your routines change just enough for you to notice -- but not so much that they start to make you nervous. It may be a long-term transition toward something more sustainable, so cultivate it.

You connect with someone new who changes the way you see your job, education or other important element of life. It’s a good time for long discussions and for thinking through big issues.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Money becomes an issue for you today -- but you need to try to deal with it as directly as you can. The problem may feel amorphous, but you should start to understand it before long.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

Your brilliant mind pops out with another million-dollar idea -- though you may be less interested in milking it than in just watching it go. Your amazing energy helps you get it off the ground.

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

Take a break from all the self-recrimination! You need to chill out and let yourself make mistakes from time to time -- that’s how we learn and grow.

Daron Park is looking to continue building up the Cal State Fullerton program one game at a time by utilizing more depth and talent than the program has had in the team’s recent history.

Park preaches three E’s CSUF women’s basketball coach prepares for his second year in the leading role

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team has three words etched in their minds––effort, energy and enthusiasm. The words have been echoed throughout Titan Gym by Head Coach Daron Park since he was hired in 2013. In 2013-14, the players embraced Park and his credo; and beat every Big West Conference team at least once with the exception of conference champion Cal State Northridge. The preparation for this season is not much different than it was for his first season at CSUF, despite having six returning players and his first recruiting class. “I’m very steadfast in my beliefs and regimented in our system,” Park said. “The three E’s need to be recognized every single day, and I would say for the most part the team has done a great job of understanding that.” The glaring difference between the team last season and this season is that half the roster is new to CSUF. “It’s been refreshing to see the returning players guide the new players. They have experience in our system and the way we do things, and are comfortable,” Park said. “I can’t say enough about the way that the returners have given their time and energy to help our new players.” Last season, the Titans struggled at the beginning of the year, owning a 1-8 record going into winter break and losing one of their top

players to a leg injury in the first game. The coaching staff was concerned with day-to-day improvement more than their non-conference record. But losing is something that Park has never experienced before. He had only one losing season as a Division I assistant coach before he was hired at CSUF. “I’m always looking at the score. Losing is never ok, and there is no such thing as moral victories,” Park said. “We played a tremendously difficult schedule last fall against teams that had postseason experience, top-25 teams and teams in power five conferences on their home court. But throughout that process, I felt that we improved every day and you saw that as we had some nice wins later in the season.” Wins are more of a concern for Park and his staff, and the goal for the team is to have the first winning season at CSUF in 23 years. “We have to do a lot of things better than they have ever been done in this program. We have to play extremely hard on the defensive end, rebound, score and do everything better,” Park said. “It’s very easy to lose basketball games; and it’s hard to win. We’re spending a lot of time this preseason talking about dozens of things we can do to ensure that we can win more games than we’ve lost for the first time since 1991.” The Titans finished the season strong last year, earning huge victories over tough Big West opponents such as Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Long Beach State and Hawaii. Key players returned

like Samantha Logan, who was named to the All-Big West Freshman team, and Chante Miles, who is one of the top point guards in the conference. “Every year is different. We could go out and win every conference game or lose every conference game, and I don’t think it has anything to do with what we did last year. We are a different team than we were last year, and so is every other team in the Big West,” Park said. “I hope that we have good wins in December like we did last year and we can carry that momentum into the

conference season.” Three players who were in the starting lineup last season are returning, and five of the six returners saw significant playing time last season. The coaching staff hasn’t picked a starting lineup yet, and the players are competing for minutes. “Every spot is wide open, and it’s up to the players to earn their minutes. We are deeper and bigger than last year,” Park said. “We want to have lineups that complement each other well and match bigs with shooters and ball handlers so that we are well balanced.”

Park is holding his cards close to his chest regarding his lineup, but it is expected that Miles, an All-Big West Honorable Mention player, will see a lot of minutes this year. She scored over 20 points five times last season. “Every year, one player surprises you. It’s the best feeling when you sit in a staff meeting and say, ‘we simply can’t afford to take her off the floor, and last year that was Chante. She has a reputation now and I hope other players follow her lead,” Park said. The new look Titans bring

a lot of enthusiasm and passion to the court. The returners and newcomers have developed a chemistry that is contagious. “You’re going to see a team that has a lot of fun playing basketball, and the fans at Titan Gym will see it and have fun too,” Park said. “They are intent on representing CSUF in a positive manner, and when you watch us, you will feel that.” The Titans have an exhibition game against Cal Baptist Friday at Titan Gym and open their regular season Nov. 16 at home against Montana State.
