Taking ‘the study drug’

Smoking reduced but still prevalent University officials acknowledge ban still has a way to go DAVID COATS Daily Titan

she slumped out of bed and walked to her medicine cabinet. Brittney quickly removed an Adderall tablet from the bottle. She knew taking it would mean she would be on the “Adderall clock” and she expected to be up for the next 24 hours.

Since the implementation of Cal State Fullerton’s smoking ban last summer, university officials said the amount of smoking on campus has been “significantly reduced,” but they acknowledged that there is still more to be done. One unintended consequence of the smoking ban and subsequent removal of ashtrays around campus seems to be a fair amount of cigarette butt litter in planters, parking lots, outside buildings, on walkways and, ironically enough, near “no smoking” signs. The smoking ban prohibits smoking in buildings, parking structures and all outdoor areas owned, leased or rented by the university. But the policy has not put a complete stop to smoking on campus. A casual stroll around the school reveals there are still plenty of people lighting up or taking drags off of their electronic cigarettes or vaporizer pens, which are also banned by the policy. “There is still much education to be done and additional methods to reduce and eliminate smoking on campus will be reviewed and discussed as the implementation proceeds,” said Curtis Plotkin, director of Environmental Health and Safety at CSUF. Dean of Students Tonantzin Oseguera, Ph.D., said overall, students have had a positive reaction to the smoking restrictions.

After taking a 10-page test and talking to her doctor, the appointment reaches a close. “I can’t focus on anything but the clock that’s hung up on the wall staring back at me, ticking away,” Brittney said to her doctor. “I feel like there is a skeleton inside my body desperately trying to get out. I’m antsy, I can’t focus and before I know it, the class is over and I feel a whelm of anxiety come over me because I wasn’t able to retain any information.” The doctor diagnoses Brittney with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and prescribes her Adderall XR extended-release capsules. The 18-year-old high school senior feels pleased as she leaves the doctor’s office, her prescription, like a freshly won, gold trophy, in hand. However, Brittney, now a senior at Cal State Fullerton, does not have ADHD. She made up a story to get the prescription. Before visiting her doctor, Brittney’s interest in Adderall began after she heard friends and classmates talk about how the pill results in increased productivity. Eventually, she bought a pill from a classmate and felt her energy level rise. When a classmate charged Brittney $10 for a pill, she paid it. After hearing that she paid too

“The 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that 15 percent of college students admitted to using some form of psychotherapeutic drugs for non-medical use.” much for the normally inexpensive drug, Brittney decided to get a prescription of her own. Adderall is an amphetamine that can result in the release of neurotransmitters that activate sensory regions throughout the nervous system and cause feelings of euphoria, insomnia, increased alertness, and sometimes, anxiety.

MIKE TRUJILLO / Daily Titan Four percent of students said prescription “study drugs” such as Adderall or Ritalin are among the most popular drugs on the CSUF campus, according to CollegeProwler.com.

Brittney recalled, throughout several of her experiences with the drug, feeling each one of these senses at some point. Upon her first try, she got some homework done and cleaned her entire house. Excited from the productive buzz the pill created, she sought after more. “I did it (Adderall) more during my first few years

of college,” Brittney said. “College is a hell of a lot more work than high school. High school was a joke.” However, four months ago, Brittney woke up feeling helpless. Her to-do list seemed endless. A messy house, errands to run and homework that she did not understand. Completely unmotivated,

CSUF professor goes from the court to the classroom Michael Milligan translates his NBA skills to his teaching JOHNNY NAVARRETTE Daily Titan

Behind every successful team, there is a coach pushing the team to be the best. For students of the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, their “coach” is professor and former NBA player Michael Milligan. Since arriving at Cal State Fullerton in 2005, Milligan has provided students with a teaching style that originated from his days as a basketball player. Milligan was drafted to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA) by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983. Although he said his time in the NBA was

incomparable to anything he experienced before, it was his high school basketball training that made him the individual he is today. A product of Long Island Lutheran High School in New York, Milligan’s reputation among his peers is an impressive one. Milligan said people consider him to be one of the greatest players from New York, but he doesn’t think that. “I consider the fact that I probably had the greatest high school coach to come out of the state of New York,” Milligan said. “So I’m a byproduct of a great coach with a great system.” Milligan said his coach, Rev. Ed Visscher, was an innovative individual who prepared him and his teammates for what was after high school. “The thing that

separated us was that all of us were ready to play college basketball when we got to college,” Milligan said. “I’m not talking about just being on the team, most of us went to college starting freshman year.” Without noticing it at first, Milligan said he realized the lessons and philosophy he learned from Visscher shaped him into the professor he is today. “As a teacher, as a person, you measure success by how many people’s lives you touch,” he said. “If God has given me this knowledge and ability, not for me to put a hold and bare, sit on it and so, this is my own belief–that you share it.” As a college student, Milligan would often analyze the teaching style of his professors. His opinion was not

about his teachers being right or wrong, but simply preference and that everyone has a way of doing things. “I just kind of said if I ever taught, I would do it this way and say it this way,” Milligan said. “My goal has always been that students should get it.” Over his 10-year career as a professor, Milligan has been able to inf luence his students. Joshua Jones, 20, was a student in Milligan’s corporate finance class. “He was very straight forward,” he said. “It was a tough class, but I learned a lot.” Although Jones does not have Milligan as a professor this semester, he learned a valuable lesson from the course, among other things.

Fee feedback period extended 2 weeks Committee meets again today to plan extension details KALEY WILLIAMS Daily Titan

The Student Fee Advisory Committee (SFAC) unanimously voted Wednesday night to extend survey collection for two weeks and collect more feedback regarding the Student Success Initiative. The committee received 1,058 surveys total, 779 paper surveys and 279 online surveys, after meeting with 50 student organizations and holding six open forums for the student body. As initially proposed by the SFAC, the initiative would increase student fees by $240.50. Revenue from the fee would be used to upgrade classroom technology, athletic facilities and campus Wi-Fi, unless data collected from students suggests otherwise. The online survey was

open for nine days, and many members of the committee felt it was too short of a window for an issue that affects all students. Jonathan Kwok, Associated Students Inc. Board of Directors chair and member of the SFAC, felt particularly strongly about this issue, and made the point that an issue that affects all students is a pressing matter, and needs to be treated as such. Committee members also said it would be beneficial to get more student input, but were unsure about how many student responses would be enough. Jonathan Leggett, ASI vice president, suggested two more weeks be given to collect surveys in hopes of receiving feedback from at least 10 percent of the student population, a proposal that was ultimately approved by the committee. The committee made no other motions, but members assessed new ways to get the information out to students. Some suggestions included

40 smoking complaints filed since ban

DAVID COATS & MIKE TRUJILLO / Daily Titan Despite the complete ban on smoking instituted at Cal State Fullerton, people on campus still smoke, and cigarette litter can still be found outdoors in common areas and in planters around campus, as illustrated above. SMOKING Continued from PAGE 1

“More students have expressed relief and gratitude for not having to encounter smoke while walking on campus and especially at entrances of campus

buildings,” she said in an email. The policy is not without its critics. Frank Perez, a 28-year-old sociology graduate student, said he does not think people will stop smoking because of the policy. Instead, it will just

make them find somewhere else to smoke. Perez also said CSUF should allow people to use e-cigarettes. Some believe the devices are a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes. “If they want to advocate for smoking cessation, that is one method for it,” he said. However, it is still unclear if e-cigarettes are in fact a safe alternative to cigarettes. A Food and Drug Administration analysis found traces of toxic chemicals and cancer-causing carcinogens in samples from two popular brands. Dr. Lowell Dale with the Mayo Clinic recommends staying away from e-cigarettes until more is known about the risks. Perez said if the school is interested in improving the overall health of the school, then more steps beyond a no-smoking policy need to be taken. “If they’re going to try to curb health problems, I think they need to attack

more egregious things, which would be putting more healthy food alternatives on campus,” he said. If a smoker is spotted on campus, he or she can be reported at Smoke-Free. Fullerton.edu. There is a notification form on the site that asks for the date, time and location of the incident. The person reporting the incident can choose to make the report anonymously, and he or she also has the option of including an image. Once a report has been filed, it is reviewed by staff in the Environmental Health and Safety department and they then move forward with whatever action they deem appropriate. Oftentimes they provide smokers with information about the no-smoking policy and they ask them to stop smoking. According to a CSUF representative, since the no-smoking policy has been implemented, there have been about 40 total reports.

DTBRIEFS Bill to relieve state drought proposed Gov. Jerry Brown proposed legislation Wednesday to allocate $687 million for measures to relieve effects of the ongoing drought in California. Reuters reported that Brown, in a press conference with leading Democratic state legislators, said the bill would provide aid to workers affected by drought conditions and fund new conservation projects. Brown said the legislation would be funded through bond measures and money from other state funds. The proposal follows an announcement from President Barack Obama last week that he would commit nearly $200 million in federal aid to help communities in California affected by the drought. - MATTHEW MEDINA

Cyclist shot and killed in Santa Ana Santa Ana police officers identified the victim of a shooting Wednesday as Michael Paul Stanton, 31, according to the Orange County Register. Stanton, a Santa Ana resident, was riding a bicycle on North Rosita Street when he was shot in the chest and killed at about 8 p.m. Tuesday night. His body was found in a driveway. Witnesses told officers that a dark-colored sedan was leaving the area around the time the shooting occurred. Police suspect the shooting may be related to gang activity in the area. They have not questioned any suspects as of Wednesday morning. - MATTHEW MEDINA

Demonstrators in Kiev want Yanukovych to join in economic and political partnerships with the European Union rather than Russia. Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko said the government promised to open negotiations and refrain from attacking protesters’ camps. Conflict broke out Tuesday when police burned camp tents and beat demonstrators. As news of the bloodshed spread, Western leaders threatened to ban travel to Ukraine and freeze its bank accounts.

Bill Ruh, now with General Electric, returns in ECS Week SASHA BELANI Daily Titan

The future of software and engineering and the infinite nature of learning was the heart of Bill Ruh’s keynote address Wednesday, as part of the events lined up for Cal State Fullerton’s Engineering and Computer Science Week (ECS Week). Ruh, a 1983 CSUF alumnus with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, is the vice president at General Electric (GE) Global Software Center. He stressed the importance of software and engineering, which he said is the center point of all business today “no matter what you’re doing.” Technological advancements are propelling businesses to change and companies that don’t embrace that change are going to go out of business, Ruh said. One of the examples Ruh used to demonstrate this point was the camera company, Kodak. Kodak and Polaroid owned most patents for digital cameras, but at that point they were primarily making money from film cameras. Now film camera technology is practically obsolete. “Engineers, computer scientists and software

people, all in combination ... those are going to be the most valuable people in the next decade because there isn’t a business in the world that isn’t going to be transformed,” Ruh said. GE coined the term “industrial Internet,” referring to the practice of bringing industries online, and Ruh used this as an example of the potential for transformation. “The industrial Internet is really about how software and the Internet are going to do the same thing in the industrial world,”

he said. “So as we make machines more intelligent, we’re going to connect them and we’re going to improve the efficiency and the operations of how we generate electricity, of how we deliver health care, of how we deliver transportation.” One of the effects of this transformation, according to Ruh, is the increase in data being created, or “big data.” Big data refers to the size of data and data sets that are increasing exponentially. Now with more

sensors on machines, more data can be collected, so much so that only 1 percent to 0.5 percent of data collected is actually being analyzed, Ruh said. “We’re reaching a time where the amount of data that people are creating, that machines are creating, is ever increasing,” Ruh said. “And big data is a reflection of the fact that we are creating all this information and now we need to figure out what to do with it.” Travis Morgan, a 20-year-old mechanical

engineering major, enjoyed Ruh’s presentation. “Software is moving forward, electronics are moving forward and constantly progressing and if you can’t keep up ... you’re going to be left in the dust,” Morgan said. But Ruh had one more piece of advice for students: never stop learning. “I thought that I would learn everything I needed to know in my classes, but what I discovered was that what I learned in my classes was only the foundation,” he said. “As I got out in the world, I realized I had to do continuous learning ... The most successful people I know are continuously learning, continuously reading, continuously trying to become better at the industry they’re in, the job they do.” Raman Menon Unnikrishnan, the dean for the College of Engineering, agreed with Ruh, saying that a university is only the foundation for learning. “We provide the passport and the visa for the students,” Unnikrishnan said. “That’s up to them. But we provide them with the opportunity ... to design their own destiny.” The keynote presentation was one of the events lined up this week to celebrate Engineering Week, a national event. A career fair for the engineering and computer science students will be held Thursday.

CSUF team holds rally to address federal debt Students compete in Clinton Global Initiative contest KYLE NAULT Daily Titan

In an effort to raise awareness on the rising federal debt, students gathered in the Quad Wednesday afternoon with the help of the Cal State Fullerton “It’s Up to Us” team to further educate others on the national crisis. “We must all as a nation, as students, as community leaders, acknowledge that there is a problem and by having an event like this that engages students to come together is really important,” said Janet Perez, a political science major and member of the Up to Us team. The event included a video conference with Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) and a guest appearance by CSUF Provost Jose L. Cruz, Ph.D. Perez said it is important that Royce and Cruz support the It’s Up to Us cause, because it shows how much prominent people care and just how big

of an issue the debt has become. While individuals in Congress and the school administration level have taken notice, Aaron Mendez, an economics major, and the leader of the Up to Us team at CSUF, said a lot of students are not necessarily aware of the effects of the increasing federal debt. “What we are seeing right now is interest rates are starting to rise and they are going to continue to rise gradually over the next decade or two,” he

said. “More of our tax dollars are going to be paying interest on all the debt that we have.” Harpreet Bath, the director of Associated Students Inc. Lobby Corps, said he agrees that there will be a direct impact on interest rates. “(National debt) is going to impact us directly in our daily lives and if we don’t start educating (students) now, it’s going to be too late,” Bath said. “I think that it’s critical that people learn about it now, so we can start pushing

the pressure to improve the situation.” The rising interest rates and national debt for the federal government is comparable to personal credit card debt. The national debt can be likened to a credit card bill. When a cardholder charges something, they’re borrowing money until they pay it back later. A credit card isn’t free money and interest is charged on top the longer it takes to pay back what is owed. Currently, the United States owes just over $17.3 trillion, according to a report released by the United States Department of the Treasury. This means the United States has continued to borrow money from other countries, increasing the actual debt total the country faces, and interest rates continue to rise. Patrick Ryan, a double major in computer science and business administration, is an officer and founding member of the CSUF branch of Young Americans for Liberty, a student organization that participated in the Up to Us rally. He said the national debt continues to hinder our country as the

government takes more of individuals’ income, taking away from citizens’ private investments. “Pretty much every new president we get adds more and more to the national debt, and what national debt does is crowd out private investment,” Ryan said. Not only does the federal debt continue to be an issue for individual’s private investments, it also affects students by raising the cost of tuition and making it harder for some to find a job after they graduate, Perez said. “Personally what we are going to see is a hike in tax rates, so that means once you graduate college here, you’re going to get a job, you’re going to have to pay taxes … and you’re going to see the amount of taxes you have to pay rise,” Mendez said. CSUF is competing with 23 other schools as part of the Up to Us program, which is sponsored by the Clinton Global Initiative. The winning team will be awarded $10,000 and be recognized by former President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative University event later this year.

Decisions should be backed by science CHRISTINA NGUYEN Daily Titan

The Copenhagen Zoo had good reason to euthanize a giraffe The Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark sparked public outrage when it decided to euthanize a young, male giraffe to discourage inbreeding within the zoo. Though the giraffe was healthy. He was deemed a “surplus” by the zoo staff and after much controversy, had to be put down.

Since the announcement, Copenhagen Zoo director and other staff have unjustifiably received numerous death threats. Online petitions were organized to save the giraffe, to fire the zoo director and to boycott the Copenhagen Zoo. The petition to save the giraffe reached over 30,000 signatures leading up to the zoo’s final decision. Science doesn’t always have the correct solution, and it is the zoo’s responsibility to consider all the factors. Critics of the zoo’s actions need to consider all the facts. According to the zoo’s website, the giraffes are not neutered or sterilized.

“In Copenhagen Zoo we let the animals breed naturally. With naturally we mean that they will get young within the same intervals as they would in the wild,” said Bengt Holst, the zoo’s scientific director. “Contraceptives have a number of unwanted side effects on the internal organs and we would therefore apply a poorer animal welfare if we did not euthanize.” Though multiple zoos and even a private buyer offered to take the baby giraffe, affectionately known by handlers as Marius, the Danish zoo strongly stood by its policies only to transfer animals between zoos within the European

Association of Zoos and Aquaria. One zoo that offered to take in Marius could not ensure the giraffe would not later be transferred to another zoo. A second park, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which had space for another male, had not received a response by the time they heard the news that Marius had been killed. Others still question Holst’s seemingly extreme commitment to science as director of the zoo, over the personal connection that zoo visitors might have with an animal. “Zoos often do not cull favored animals when they become surplus to

the needs of a program,” said Robert Lacy in Culling Surplus Animals for Population Management. Decisions about which animals to kill are based on consideration of human feelings, although the justifications are often couched in terms of animal welfare or animal rights. There will be times when no matter what stance is taken, some people will consider it wrong. In this particular situation the zoo took the action they thought was best for the welfare of the animal. Although the killing of any creature feels inhumane, what would have

happened if the zoo decided to sell him to a facility unfit to house Marius? Allowing Marius to live could have resulted in deformed offspring. It takes analysis of all the possibilities to really understand how a zoo could make such a difficult decision. No one is going to condone the murder of animals, but going as far as threatening the life of the people in charge and their families doesn’t seem right either. This decision has brought more widespread attention to a single act and has perhaps prompted zoo officials to think even more thoroughly about decisions such as these.

Plugged In Too many gizmos in my car ETHAN HAWKES Daily Titan

MIKE TRUJILLO / Daily Titan Neckbeards and Christopher Nolan continue to ruin fun and entertaining superheroes as well as their blockbuster films.

A couple years ago, I made a costly mistake. I looked down at my phone and changed my podcast from the Vergecast to the Bombcast. Upon looking up, I was greeted by red and blue lights and a $400 dollar ticket. In 2009, the state of California passed a law making the act of texting while driving illegal and I was no exception. I received that ticket about a year ago, but now I am curious how these laws have been changed by newer car technology. One of the big pushes at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, which is one of the biggest events in the tech industry, was car based technology. In-car dashes using the Android operating system, Internet connected cars and smartphone connected diagnostic systems were all proposed methods of connecting consumers to their cars. I can only ask: How much more distracted will drivers be with more technology entering the automobile? When I was pulled over, I contemplated arguing that I was technically not texting, even though the ticket and officer said I was, but upon reading the law it states that any kind of handheld technology is illegal to use in the car. The law also states a “handsfree” device can be used to assist drivers that would otherwise be distracted. For example, Bluetooth headsets and speakerphones are fine for drivers to use. This makes sense, because it keeps the driver’s eyes on the road. But there is an odd exception to the law that permits dialing numbers into a phone. Dialing numbers can

sometimes be necessary and it doesn’t distract the driver for as long as texting, but some of these proposed technologies at CES do not necessarily promote safe driving. An Internet connected car could use Google Maps for navigation, traffic updates and have a fancy music player, but some of the advertised features are questionable, such as watching movies and browsing YouTube. These features are touted as ways to keep passengers entertained, but if I were driving and my friend was cooing over cute cat videos, I would be distracted from driving whether or not I indulged in watching. Even a seemingly small distraction can be deadly. “Distraction occurs any time you take your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your mind off your primary task: driving safely,” according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It can be argued that a mounted smartphone can cause the same amount of distraction, but the current direction of emerging car technology should be altered. Technology should be focusing on getting our eyes off the road, as opposed to begging for our attention. Garmin created a small heads up display GPS that projects information onto the windshield in line of sight. The unit received mixed reviews due to its limited feature set and high price, though the idea of putting critical information on the windshield should be expanded upon. Putting in top of the line technology can have a lot of benefits for drivers, but the focus has to be on safety for the driver and for others who share the road. But I suppose browsing the Internet would be nice when cars drive themselves right?

Doping for the grade DRUG Continued from PAGE 1

She felt nervous, shaky and with little appetite, but was determined to get tasks done. “I’m more productive whether I want to be or not. I get a feeling when I’m on Adderall that I’m being lazy and not useful if I’m not doing anything,” Brittney said. “It makes me feel like my mom is right behind me telling me to do things.” She admitted that the feeling of productivity might be more imagined than real. Although the drug does help her focus, she would much rather clean her house and organize her binder, calendar and planner instead of actually doing the work. This perceived feeling of productivity has caused a buzz in the college world and nicknamed Adderall as a “study drug.” The 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) reported that 15 percent of college students admitted to using some form of psychotherapeutic drugs for non-medical use. Of those students, 7 percent claimed to have taken Adderall to increase attention span, party or improve grades. Although Brittney said she learned to manage her workload better during her last two years of college and she takes Adderall around midterms and finals. However, Brittney is not the only student at CSUF to use “study drugs.” Drug safety at CSUF is rated a “B+” according to CollegeProwler.com, a website that provides in-depth reviews and analysis on colleges and K-12 schools in the United States. The website allows students attending a particular college to give feedback about their school via surveys. According to the website, 4 percent of students said prescription “study drugs” such as Adderall or Ritalin are among the most popular drugs on the CSUF campus. In order to prevent prescription Adderall from falling into the wrong hands, many doctors and health professionals follow special guidelines. Nari Darst, CSUF Interim Director Health Education and Promotion, said she would describe the prescribing of substances as, “tightly controlled and monitored by (CSUF’s) Quality Assurance committee.” Students are seen for ADHD, ADD and severe anxiety at CSUF’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). The process of diagnosing someone consists of two parts. First, a CAPS counselor speaks to the student and determines if a psychiatric evaluation is warranted. If so, the student is referred to the CAPS psychiatrist for an evaluation lasting 45 to 50 minutes to determine appropriate treatment, Darst said. “Individuals who abuse (these) drugs most commonly gain access to them from a friend or relative who has a legitimate need for drug therapy, not from a medical provider,” Darst said. Although Brittney is still prescribed Adderall, she gets most of it from her boyfriend, who has ADHD, rather than through her doctor.

Many students walk into the Cal State Fullerton Volunteer and Service Center hoping to fulfill an internship requirement or log service hours. Once students have completed their requirements, the majority of volunteers stay around to continue working on the projects they are interested in. Others feel drawn to serve and decide to volunteer because it is something they love to do. Jessica Bonilla, 19, a psychology major, falls into the latter category.

The Volunteer and Service Center works with 10 different programs on campus, as well as many outside programs. The students schedule events for many of them, but are only given a small budget from the school. Alisia Kirkwood, coordinator of the Office of Student Life and Leadership, said the students are responsible for gaining the necessary funding for their projects. “Each project has a very small budget to offset their costs … but our students fundraise. They raise their own funds,” Kirkwood said. “When they’re out there on Titan Walk doing bake sales and things like that, that’s because they have a desire to do a certain type of event with their population that they’re serving.”

The center already works with many different programs and communities, but continues to grow. It is starting a few new pilot programs. Kirkwood said she is particularly excited about a new program called Alternative Spring Break. “Alternative Spring Break is pretty much just what it sounds like,” Kirkwood said. “Rather than go off and have fun for your own enjoyment, we are taking 12 students to San Francisco and they will spend a week serving the homeless population up there in partnership with the Salvation Army.” Kirkwood said the direction of the program will be students serving in a variety of capacities. The Volunteer and Service Center works with many different causes and is always open to taking in new volunteers. Students can visit the center, located in Room 2 in the Titan Student Union.

“I learned that to evaluate a company is very hard,” Jones said. “It taught me a lot about corporate structure, debts and how a company kind of operates with their money.” For Crystar Cheng, 25, one of the most important lessons she learned from Milligan was how to leave emotion out of finances. “Sometimes you buy stock and you get really attached to it, the part about when you need to sell it,” Cheng said. “That’s the biggest thing that I learned from him.” Milligan said he is preparing his students for the next level, the world of business and finance after college, just like his high school basketball coach did for him.

Refusing to let injury impede passion Katie Estrella moves on with life after spinal cord trauma NEHA ANSARI For the Daily Titan

Seven dancers enter the stage. The applause dies down, music turns on and girls begin to dance. The audience is mesmerized. The performance is unlike any they have seen. The girls are talented, but more than that, inspiring. Their movements are precise and fluid and through their performance they show that even their wheelchairs cannot hold them back. Katie Estrella, a Cal State Fullerton sophomore majoring in human communication studies, and her teammates have been members of the Walk and Roll Dance Team, an organization with a mission to raise awareness for spinal cord injuries, for 4 years. Most of the girls on the dance team had spinal cord injuries from drunk driving accidents. However, Estrella was injured after a horseback riding accident when she was 11. Estrella was 5 years old when she began horseback riding. At the age of 7, she started to compete in barrel racing competitions; a horseback riding sport that involves three barrels in shape of a triangle through which competitors form a pattern in the least amount of time.

Estrella said horseback riding was her “big passion” and what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. On May 13, 2006, everything changed. It was a Saturday and Estrella was at a barrel racing competition. This was her first time competing with her new horse, whom she described as “absolutely perfect.” Estrella began her morning with her first event. After turning the first barrel, the horse began to run and buck and Estrella was unable to hold on. “As he started bucking, I lost my balance and fell off to the right hand side. And when I fell I twisted and landed on my back and from the impact of falling, my legs flipped over my head and snapped by back,” Estrella said. She laid in the dirt while people surrounded her, asking if she was alright. A couple hours later, Estrella and her family were in the hospital when they learned she had suffered from a spinal cord injury and would never walk again. Estrella’s mother, Dana, was with her daughter when they received the news. “I cried and cried, but I didn’t want to let her see me cry. I didn’t want her to think something bad had happened to her,” Dana said. “I wanted her to feel like it’s an injury and we’re going to have to change the way we do things, but it doesn’t make you bad, it doesn’t make you less of a person.” The first couple of weeks after the accident were difficult for Estrella

and her family. Estrella questioned how the injury was going to affect her life. “I thought, ‘Can I still do the things I had done before? Can I still ride horses, can I still dance because I’ve danced my whole life, can I still do gymnastics, what about soccer? All these things involved my legs and if I can’t use them, what’s going to happen? What am I?,’ Estrella said. Six months after her accident, Estrella reached a

turning point; she began riding horses again. She started therapeutic horseback riding. Estrella said getting back up on the horse was a full circle for her. “That was when I realized that I was going to be okay,” she said. From then on, Estrella has not let anything stop her from doing what she wants to do. “She can do everything that someone standing can do, she just has to figure out a way to do it in

her own unique way,” said Jordan Guinn, Estrella’s childhood best friend. “She never ceases to amaze me in the things she does, from making the Dean’s List to joining a sled hockey team to working and going to school fulltime, along with her sorority and dance team.” Today, Estrella continues leading an active life, both physically and socially. She served as an orientation leader for New Student and Parent Programs in the past summer and is also an

active member of her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi. Estrella continues to regularly ride horses and perform as a part of the Walk and Roll Dance Team. “I remember there was one performance where everybody was in tears after the girls had finished. Katie talked to them about following your dreams and following your passions, no matter what it is,” Dana said. “She doesn’t go out and seek the attention, but she inspires people.”

Baseball hoping to reduce errors The No. 3 Titans are hosting the Dons for a weekend series IAN O’BRIEN Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team returns to Goodwin Field for a three game series against University of San Francisco, hoping to recover from a 6-1 loss on Tuesday to the USC Trojans. Their midweek loss dropped the No. 3 Titans’ record to 2-2 in the young season. Freshman pitcher Chad Hockin made his CSUF debut and pitched 2.2 innings, allowing three runs, only one of which was earned. Freshman Phil Bickford came to relieve Hockin and pitched four innings, also allowing three runs with only one earned. Errors sunk the Titans’ chances of winning the game as they committed three. The Trojans scored a run in the third inning off a throwing error by senior catcher Jared Deacon after a strikeout. The Trojans scored two more runs off a single and never looked back, improving their record to 4-0. Errors have been a problem area for the Titans in their first four games. They have committed seven total to start the season, including two by sophomore second baseman Jake Jefferies and sophomore pitcher Justin Garza. As a team, the Titans collectively have a .955 fielding percentage. The Titans’ pitching will look to continue shining. The pitching staff holds a 2.84 earned run average. Sophomore Thomas Eshelman got the Titans’ starters off to a fast start by not allowing a run over his seven innings of work with eight strikeouts and only three hits allowed. Garza had a forgettable debut, allowing seven runs in 5.2 innings with four of them being earned. The reigning Big West Pitcher of the Year will look to shake Saturday off in his next start. Junior Grahamm Wiest performed well in his first start, pitching 7.1 innings with only one earned run allowed and seven strikeouts. Providing depth on the mound is junior Koby Gauna and Bickford. Gauna pitched in long

relief on Saturday, allowing two runs in 4.2 innings with seven strikeouts. Bickford holds a 2.84 ERA in 6.1 innings of work. The Titan bats have also started the season well, aside from Tuesday’s game against USC. CSUF is hitting .312 as a team so far with 25 runs scored. Senior outfielder Greg Velazquez and junior right fielder J.D. Davis each lead the Titans with one home run. Velazquez also leads the team in RBIs with five. Sophomore first baseman Tanner Pinkston leads the Titans in batting average, hitting .500 to start the season with a team-leading seven hits. Davis and junior outfielder Clay Williamson trail Pinkston closely in hits with six, hitting .400 and .500 respectively. The San Francisco Dons are looking to build a winning streak after defeating Kansas State 7-6 at home. Pitching has been a weak area for them in the beginning of the season. They collectively hold a 6.35 ERA while allowing their opponents to hit .317. Leading the Dons’ pitching staff is junior Christian Cecilio, who allowed just one run in 5.1 innings in his season debut. The Dons have performed better with their hitting though, holding a .310 average as a team. They are still due for a home run, but they have scored 18 runs total with small ball. Leading the Dons’ lineup is junior outfielder Derek Atkinson, who leads the team in RBIs with six and in batting average with .471. Like the Titans, the Dons have struggled with their fielding, committing seven errors. They have a .954 fielding percentage. Head Coach Rick Vanderhook and the Titans hope to put their disappointing start behind them as they begin their series against the Dons on Friday, Feb. 21. They will conclude the series on Sunday, Feb. 23. Eshelman is set to get the starting nod in the opener with Garza starting on Saturday and Weist on Sunday For more information on CSUF baseball and all Titan Athletics, go to FullertonTitans.com.

ART LEMUS / For the Daily Titan Freshman forward David Marabella handles the puck and keeps his head up to look for a passing lane. He has scored 19 points off of 15 goals and four assists. Marabella and the Titans are heading to regionals in Flagstaff, Ariz. for the first time in program history.

First taste of regionals CSUF hockey heads to Flagstaff, Ariz. to take on Boise State ANDY LUNDIN Daily Titan

While the U.S. men’s hockey team has been making huge strides in Sochi during the Winter Olympics, the Cal State Fullerton ice hockey team has made some amazing progress themselves by making their way to regional play for the first time in team history. Ranked fourth in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Regionals Tournament for the Men’s II Division, the Titans are set to compete against the fifth seeded Boise State Broncos in their first regional matchup, which will take place this Saturday in Flagstaff, Ariz. “Everybody’s been pretty happy so far. There’s still that feeling of unfinished business heading into the big weekend, but overall everybody is really

happy with the season. We’ve had our best season in club history this year,” said senior forward Taylor Castle, who scored 22 points during the regular season. The Titans performed phenomenally throughout most of the season, earning a 24-10-2 regular season record. However, if they lose the game against Boise State on Saturday, none of their success in the regular season will have mattered. “You either win or go home. So we have to beat Boise State to stay the next day to play,” Head Coach Ronnie White said. The team will head into regionals on the heels of a hot streak to end the season. CSUF went on a 12-game winning streak near the end of the season, before dropping three consecutive games. However, the Titans managed to continue their winning ways by wrapping up the season by beating Loyola Marymount 5-4 in their last game of the season. “We’ve strung together 12 straight victories over

the course of the middle to end of the season, and now we’re coming down to the games that mean the most and everything that we’ve worked for the entire time,” Castle said. “We started good, played good all season and now we just got to make sure we finish it off the right way.” Leading the team offensively for CSUF is junior forward Alec Censullo, who has 63 points and 34 goals. Close behind him is junior forward Sean Saligumba, who has 55 points on the season and is second in scoring with 27 goals. Both Brandon Heethuis and Nevin Iwatsuru have been putting in solid minutes between the pipes for the Titans, and they have save percentages of .915 and .884, respectively. Castle said the team has been trying to learn more about Boise State’s playing style. He is expecting the game on Saturday to be a low scoring affair, with the outcome likely to be determined not by who scores the most goals scored but who makes the least

amount of mistakes. “We’re expecting a really big, hard-hitting team,” Castle said. “And we’re just going to try to combat that with speed and the size that we have.” Castle said the team’s success has created a lot of solidarity among the players. “This is a really special group of guys that we have together for the team. Everybody brings something to the table and contributes in their own way,” Castle said. “It’s really bonded us a lot. Even losing those couple of games in San Jose, they brought everyone together more than tore anybody apart.” White said the team isn’t going to make any huge changes in preparation for the upcoming matchup. “We’ve been working on our power play a little bit and our defensive zone … just little minor adjustments here and there. Everything else is looking pretty good,” White said. For information on the CSUF ice hockey team, go to TitanIceHockey.com.

Titans looking to separate themselves from middle of the pack Alex Thomas looks to stay hot against Big West opponents MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team returns to Titan Gym for a pair of games this weekend against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and UC Santa Barbara. The Titans (9-14, 5-5 Big West) split their two-game road trip last weekend with a win against UC Davis and a loss to Hawai’i. Junior forward Kathleen Iwuoha had a career-high 14 rebounds against UC Davis. The Titans outrebounded the Aggies 40-36 and the Titans dominated in offensive rebounds 18-7. Nine of Iwuoha’s

rebounds were offensive, and she held Aggies leading rebounder Sydnee Fipps to just five boards. The Titans were able to overcome poor shooting against the Aggies, shooting 31.8 percent compared to the Aggies 42.3 percent. They also shot an abysmal 28.6 percent against Hawai’i. Despite the team’s poor shooting, senior Alex Thomas had a career-high 25 points against Hawai’i. The second place Cal Poly SLO Mustangs (14-10, 8-3 Big West) will visit Titan Gym on Thursday. The two teams met earlier this season in San Luis Obispo, where the Titans kept it close but ended up losing 69-65. In their previous matchup, Brea Olinda alumna Jonae Ervin and senior guard Nwamaka Ofodu

each led Cal Poly with 17 points apiece. Ervin is second on the team in assists and in three-point shooting percentage. Another standout player for Cal Poly is junior Ariana Elegado, who is second on the team in scoring and leads the team in assists with 122 for the season. The star of Cal Poly is reigning Big West Player of the Year, Molly Schlemer. The Cal Poly senior is sixfeet-five-inches tall and is second in the Big West in rebounding with 10.3 rebounds per game. She leads the Big West in field goal percentage making 56.2 percent of her shots. Iwuoha and freshman guard Samantha Logan hope to keep Schlemer off the boards. Logan has had nine rebounds in five of her last

six games and Iwuoha is fifth in the Big West with 7.3 rebounds per game. Logan had a team-high eight rebounds in the previous game against Cal Poly. UC Santa Barbara will come to Titan Gym on Saturday. The two teams met earlier this season on Jan. 25. It was the Titans’ first win at The Thunderdome since 1991. The Gauchos (7-16, 2-8 Big West) sit at eighth in the Big West. In their previous matchup, senior Melissa Zornig had a game-high 20 points for the Gauchos. Zornig is second on the team in points per game and leads the team in minutes played. The standout performance in that game was from senior Destini Mason. Mason had 18 points

and a team-high eight rebounds. She is the team leader in rebounds this season with 5.9 rebounds per game. Logan flirted with a double-double in the previous game against UCSB with 11 points and nine rebounds. Thomas and junior guard Tailer Butler each had 16 points in that game. Junior guard Chante Miles had a season-high eight assists. The Titans hope to get more scoring out of

sophomore guard Hailey King. She only had one point on the road trip and has not scored in double figures since the start of February. Thomas has scored 20.3 points per game in conference play which is first in the Big West. She has scored in double figures in every conference game this season.
