Jeanie Buss, president of the Los Angeles Lakers, shared her family business with guests at the innagural Center for Family Business Hall of Fame Awards.

Honoring family business Four businesses are first Hall of Fame honorees DARLENE CASAS Daily Titan Four family-owned businesses were voted in Thursday as the inaugural members of the Center for Family Business Hall of Fame.

The center is part of the Cal State Fullerton Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, and aids family businesses in identifying and addressing issues in order to grow and develop.

Anil Puri, Ph.D., dean of Mihaylo College of Business and Economics said the majority of current

members have committed to the program since its founding in 1995 and he has seen it grow throughout his 16 years of supporting it.

Seventeen family-owned businesses were nominated, a number that was whittled down to the four voted in as honorees.

States Logistics Services, a supply chain logistics management company, received the Excellence in Community Award. Employees organized services to house the homeless and completed over 2400 hours of volunteer work in 2014.

Cascade Pump Company, a custom pumping equipment manufacturer, has been operating for over 50 years and has been a part of the Center for Family Business since its inception. The business won the Strength

in Succession Award for its efforts to grow and ensure successful business transitions for each generation.

Hydraflow, a company that manufactures fluid transfer components and fuel lines for the aerospace industry, was awarded the Commitment to Education Award.

Hydraflow not only educates its clients on the most effective ways to implement their products, but the company also provides job-related education and 100 percent tuition reimbursement for job-related education to full-time employees.

The final award was the Founder’s Vision Award, given to Hill Brothers Chemical Company.

Anil Puri, Ph.D., discusses the origins of the Center for Family Business, and how the center has changed since its creation.

In an emergency, a few minutes can mean life or death.

How quickly police arrive on the scene after a call comes in is determined by a list of variables — including what type of crime it is and where officers are at any given time.

Like a doctor must triage patients, treating those with greater injuries first, police departments almost universally use a priority system to decide which emergencies require attention first.

University Police Cal State Fullerton University Police prioritizes crimes and incidents on a scale of 1-3 based on their level of severity.

Priority one calls require the most expediency and will often be accompanied by lights and sirens while priority three calls are standard operations calls and require the lowest amount of expediency, a University Police official said.

Campus dispatch receives the majority of calls through 911 dialing, elevator calling systems and campus emergency blue poles.

Last year, 95 percent of calls from campus blue poles and elevator calling systems were non-emergencies, University Police Capt. John Brockie said.

Using more than 200 active cameras located throughout campus and six stationed on blue poles, University Police keep track of and determine whether an incident is a non-emergency, Brockie said.

Using more than 200 active cameras located throughout campus and six stationed on blue poles, University Police keep track of and determine whether an incident is a non-emergency, Brockie said.

“We have cameras where we can see multiple poles,” Brockie said. He added that if there’s an instance when a call comes in from an area that is not visible by a camera, University Police will then respond to investigate the situation. After police assess the situation, they can assign it one of the three priority levels according to the severity of the incident.

While University Police, which has a one-mile radius patrol area around campus, does not keep average response times for each level of its priority scale, it does keep averages for its responses to certain kinds of incidents, according to University Police administration.

University Police officials

logged an average response time of 1 minute 5 seconds for traffic accidents with unknown injuries, a number that rose to 1 minute 32 seconds for traffic accidents with injuries and jumped to 3 minutes 53 seconds for traffic accidents without injuries.

For its 569 burglary calls in nearly 12 months, the department had an average response time of 4 minutes 1 second and an average response of 1 minute 16 seconds for its four reports of drunken driving.

The department could not provide average response times for lower-level incidents such as instances of vandalism, petty theft, larger thefts and drug-related crimes.

Neighboring Police Departments While Fullerton, Placentia and Brea police departments also use a number priority scale, the departments log average response times based on priority of the incident, rather than by each specific incident.

Fullerton Police Department uses a priority scale of 1-5. The average for priority one–the department’s category for emergency calls–was 6 minutes 36 seconds for its 23 mile radius. Priority one incidents include burglaries in progress, grand theft and assault.

Placentia Police Department uses a priority scale of 0-5. Placentia Police Services Supervisor Juanita Martinez said the department’s priority zero calls are emergency calls, including burglaries, robberies and carjackings. The department had an average response time for priority zero incidents of 3 minutes 42 seconds in its 7.5 mile radius.

Brea Police Department uses a priority scale of 1-3, with separate categories for emergency calls and routine calls. Its average response times for emergency calls in its 12-square-mile patrol area was 3 minutes 34 seconds.

Each department allocates its resources in different ways to keep response times as low as possible.

Fullerton Police Department keeps its response to physical altercations low by concentrating resources in downtown Fullerton on

4:01 - BURGLARY ALARM CALLS 3:53 - TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WITH NO INJURIES

1:32 - TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WITH KNOWN INJURIES 1:16 - DRUNKEN DRIVING CALLS 1:05 - TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WITH UNKNOWN INJURIES POLICE

University Police Average Response Time in Minutes DAVID MCLAREN AND MIKE TRUJILLO / DAILY TITAN

University Police reported average response times that varied from 1 mintue 5 seconds for traffic accidents with unknown injuries to 4 minutes 1 second for burglary alarm calls.

Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Sgt. Dan Castillo said.

He said altercations between barhoppers in the downtown area are a frequent call to the department. In anticipation of that need, officers are committed to the area to quickly break up fights.

“We do have a dedicated unit for the downtown area and the cars are mobile, so

they’re already downtown, so it doesn’t take very long for them to get from one bar to one bar,” Castillo said, adding that it might take less than a minute for officers to get to a fight.

Placentia Police Department and Brea Police Department both kept their patrol areas divided into sections.

Dispatcher Melina Fabian

said resources from Placentia Police Department try to get to incidents as soon as possible, but there are circumstances where a response might take longer than normal.

“It all depends on what police officer is going, what part of the city they’re at and what part of the city they’re going to be responding to,” she said.

Orange County Transportation Authority has canceled a pilot BikeShare program in Fullerton due to low usage and minimal revenue. Despite what was supposed to be a two-year pilot program, rider access to the bikes ended Jan. 15 and—per an OCTA Transit Committee recommendation—the BikeShare Pilot Project agreement was allowed to expire Jan. 21.

For ten months, OCTA operated the program in Fullerton to test the possibility of a countywide system. Since Nov. 2014, however, the 69 bikes in the system have been checked out an average of 1.2 times per month, a number below the originally projected average of two to three checkouts per month, according to a report from the OCTA Transit Committee.

Those numbers follow a trend that includes usage fees and annual memberships that fail to cover monthly operating costs. Those costs were over $11,000, but since operations for the program began in Jan. 2014, OCTA received only $5,370 from usage fees and annual memberships.

“To date, the Pilot Project has failed to meet desired objectives, and with low usage and only minimal advertising revenue and/or sponsorships, the long-term viability of operating a self-sustaining bike-sharing system is in question,” Darrell Johnson,

Operations began Jan. 2014 for the pilot BikeShare program, which was meant to act as a test for a countywide system. Lack of revenue and poor participation lead to the program’s cancellation.

chief executive officer of OCTA, said in a report to the agency’s transit committee.

The report included information that, since the launch of the program, there were persistent operational issues such as water leaks due to defective gaskets and problems with docks releasing bikes.

OCTA did make efforts to promote the program, offering discounts on annual memberships and a 20 percent discount for students at the beginning of the school year.

OCTA failed to market the program and reach out to college students said Derek Fretheim, Bike Nation chief operating officer. Officials with OCTA could have used a dedicated website or social media network, but chose not to, he said.

In their October meeting, when the staff

recommendation was to discontinue the program, OCTA and the Transit Committee rejected his alternatives to increase usage through marketing strategies.

Fretheim said he came to OCTA with ideas such as hiring CSUF marketing students to intern as program ambassadors with the hope that it would allow students to create marketing campaigns while also gaining work experience.

“It wasn’t a question of whether the system was operating. To me it just seemed like it was a question of people not knowing how to use the program or that it was available,” Fretheim said.

Users heard of OCTA BikeShare by seeing stations on CSUF campus and at the Fullerton Transit Center, according to a survey conducted

by OCTA.

OCTA is now taking a step back from the failed initiative while Bike Nation is preparing to launch a similar program in Long Beach.

“There was no money provided by the city of Fullerton to develop the program; in fact they weren’t involved with any of our meetings until October,” Fretheim said.

“That shows you the difference between a city that wants a BikeShare program and one that is in essence gifted.”

Long Beach city officials have been highly involved with the planning of the BikeShare program and have agreed with strategies presented to them, Fretheim added.

“It’s disappointing that there wasn’t enough faith and belief to say let’s look at this a different way, let’s reevaluate this program. It was set up for failure,” he said.

Hall: Four businesses inducted “I don’t have all the answers and I have shared some things with people here tonight and I got great feedback,” Buss said. “That is why the center is so wonderful, because it is really a support for something that’s always in transition and always a process.”

During the event, Senior Vice President of City National Bank Joe Hernandez shared how his four years of being a member of the center has helped him gain knowledge that bolstered his career.

“The biggest focus of the center is to assess the members in keeping harmony among the family while becoming stronger business entities at the same time,” Hernandez said.

Inductees will be permanently listed on a wall at the center and director of the center, Ed Hart, is planning next year’s banquet for early 2016.

Votes and open nominations will take place late 2015, but this year’s honorees cannot be inducted again.

MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

The Begovich Gallery is hosting a collection of whirligigs, moving sculptures powered by a propeller. Each whirligig was made by local artist Peter Gelker, who used themes of dreams, nightmares and psychiatry in his artwork.

Gallery exhibits art with a spin Whirligigs exhibit shows local artist’s playful pieces CECILY MEZA Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton hosted the opening of the new art exhibit Whirligigs: The Art of Peter Gelker on Jan. 24 in the Begovich Gallery.

Whirligigs, a toy-like object that spins or whirls in the wind, are used to show the direction of the wind and to keep birds out of gardens.

All lined up meticulously against the plain white wall, the whirligigs stand out with their bright vibrant colors and peculiar characters that adorn the tops.

Created out of wood, Pagemetal 1 and paint, the

whirligigs propellers direct the characters to act out dreams, nightmares and myths once they are set in motion.

Peter Gelker, the Santa Ana based artist and practicing psychiatrist, describes his inspiration behind the whirligig exhibition as a folklore art form combined with different levels of psychological themes that people would be able to interpret for themselves.

“It’s also about chasing illusions, … conflict, people at war with themselves … and some of them are about neurological things,” Gelker said. “At the same time, they’re fun and colorful and not heavy psychobabble kind of things.”

Along with the colors and psychological meaning behind each whirligig, there is a playful aspect to the toys Gelker has created.

Lynn Gamwell, guest curator for the exhibition, admires the mechanics and the work behind Gelker’s whirligigs as well as the kind of movement the objects create.

“To make something like that move isn’t simple,” Gamwell said.

An explanatory film on the movement of these whirligigs is shown repeatedly in the back of the gallery to give more depth to the movement of these objects.

The propellers on the whirligig, when influenced by human touch or wind, create movement for the characters to act out their scene.

Some scenes show a man chasing his dream of becoming wealthy; Others are characters trying to avoid their biggest fears of being swallowed by the ocean or of spiders.

Other whirligigs have psychiatric and neurological themes behind them.

One of these pieces expresses two people trying to communicate with each other and make a connection as the propellers turn to make the figures move.

“It’s a kind of clunky, folkarty interpretation of two people relating,” Gelker said.

Gelker’s exhibit gives each visitor the chance to analyse each piece and figure out its specific meaning.

Gelker believes that art is a surface form and that one viewer may see or feel things that can be completely different from another viewer.

CSUF’s Begovich Gallery will be hosting the exhibit Monday through Thursday from 12-4 p.m. and Saturday from 12-2 p.m. until Feb. 26.

COURTESY OF PARAMOUNT PICTURES

A group of highschoolers use a time machine to control their fate until their plans go awry. The Stars of Project Almanac talk about the film and working with producer Micheal Bay.

Sci-fi thriller in theaters Friday Cast of Project Almanac eagerly awaits film’s release ZACK JOHNSTON Daily Titan The winter blockbusters begin to wrap up at the movies this Friday with the release of the sci-fi thriller movie Project Almanac.

The film follows a group of five teenagers who discover secret plans for a time machine and use the plans to construct their own. Initially, they use the device for their own personal gains and pleasures until their travels get out of hand and the consequences become drastic. They then must use the machine to fix their mistake and restore order to their timeline.

Jonny Weston plays David Raskin, the ensemble’s principle character. Weston feels that through his character, Project Almanac explores themes of addiction as the characters begin using the time machine more frequently and taking bigger risks.

In a recent conference call, the cast spoke about what it was like to work with their producer, Michael Bay. “When you know that someone like that is (always) watching over, and watching every single cut after the day it’s been filmed … you’re just comforted that you know this film isn’t going to turn out crappy,” Weston said. “You know that he’s going to let you know what’s going right and what’s wrong in order to make it an amazing film. So we all kind of rest and do our job without having to worry about the end product.”

Other cast members felt this same kind of comfort knowing the film was in Bay’s hands.

“We all knew that it was going to be a really special movie because he was involved,” said Virginia Gardner who plays Christina.

The movie is shot in found-footage style, much like the popular horror franchises V/H/S and Paranormal Activity.

The actors enjoyed making a movie of this style because it gave them a chance

to break the fourth wall and speak directly to the camera.

Many of the actors involved in the movie have previous experience in television. Each have their pros and cons about working in film rather than television.

“We have more freedom with the dialogue (in film) because in television, by the time the script comes to you it’s been through the network, the studio and the writer’s room, so you can’t really change it too much,” said Sofia Black D’Elia who plays Jessie, David’s love interest. “But when you work with people as lovely as Andrew Deutschman and Jason Pagan, our writers, they’re really comfortable with you, taking it out for a spin, rehearsing it with your screen partner, putting your own twist on things and making it as real as possible.”

Project Almanac was originally supposed to be released last summer but was postponed to build up a larger audience. The cast feels the film has become even better than they intended and it is something that they’re really proud of.

A look at ‘the oldest-old’

OLLI seminar on America’s fastest growing population FIONA PITT Daily Titan

Volunteers of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute hosted “Lessons from the Oldest Old: The 90+ Study,” to encourage lifelong learning and to show that age is just a number.

More than 100 attendees packed Mackey Auditorium in the Ruby Gerontology Center on Saturday. Most came early and occupied themselves by reading newspapers, making wisecracks and checking up on one another’s grandchildren.

At 9:30 a.m., the session promptly started with a bold address from Michael Stover, president of Osher

agreement and chatter.

Saturday’s event was put on by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute volunteers and is one of 20 in a series of various medical sessions provided free and open to the public this semester.

UC Irvine initiated The 90+ Study in 2003. It is supported by a $9 million grant and was featured on 60 Minutes and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Surprised that so many seniors were anxious to participate in the session, Ellie Monroe, treasurer of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and instructor of a line dancing class, described the notion of the oldest of the old, “a private thing,” because often, many in that age group tend to not want to be “up there,” Monroe said.

“The oldest of the old” refers to those who live be-

DANA GREENIA RN, MS and Co-investigator Lifelong Learning Institute, who asked the audience, “How many of you don’t want to live to 90?”

Mixed emotions from the audience were apparent; some laughed, while some hands raised.

Stover then asked, “How many want to live to 100?”

Stover finally asked, “How many want to live as long as you’re healthy and mentally strong and vibrant?”

All hands raised and the auditorium echoed with

yond the age of 90. Speaker for the event, Dana Greenia, RN, MS and Co-investigator of The 90+ study, said those who are 90+ are the largest growing population in America today.

“If increase in life expectancy continues, half of all children today born in developed countries will live to their 100th birthday,” Greenia said.

The 90+ Study is the largest of its kind. Greenia explained that because life expectancy for the elderly

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

is increasing if the projected U.S. population growth continues in the direction it’s in by 2050, the U.S. will have 10 million people over the age of 90.

“That’s one out of 50 people. So, you can imagine that it will be a huge public health burden because these folks consume; they’re the largest consumers of health care. Alzheimer’s disease costs more than all cancers and heart disease combined,” Greenia said.

Greenia and her UCI medical team retrieved a survey from 1981 where nearly 14,000 residents of Leisure World, now called Laguna Woods, filled out a basic health survey concerning their lifestyle, vitamin intake and leisure for a prior study USC conducted called The Leisure World Cohort Study. The 90+ Study got in contact with 1,931 of the surviving participants who are now 90 years old or older.

The goal for The 90+ Study is to, “contribute to the prevention or the delay of the development of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia,” Greenia said.

Geenia shared with listeners many surprising facts that The 90+ Study has found. She said factors like green tea, calcium and vitamins C, A, and E are not associated with life longevity, but moderate alcohol, caffeine, exercise, leisure and a higher body mass index did in fact correlate with the participants’ longevity.

Audience members jokingly cheered at the unexpected findings.

“Living to 90 is a characteristic of many of our members,” Stover said. “In fact, just a month ago … we

Alumnus president hopes to help

Former ASI leader moves on to Johns Hopkins program ADRIANA NAJERA Daily Titan Some people are driven. Then there’s Rohullah Latif.

At 23, Latif is a Cal State Fullerton alumnus and former president of Associated Students Inc., he is now building upon his academic achievements and prepping for his master’s at Johns Hopkins University.

Planning his major in Mechanical Engineering, Latif is seeking more than outstanding academic achievement and is focused on his passion for helping others.

“I want to succeed, but if it is not helping people

then there is no point in succeeding,” he said.

“This is because my definition of success is personal success, but at the same time you are making a difference in the lives of others.”

An Afghanistan native, Latif witnessed first-hand the sacrifices his mother made for him and his three sisters to succeed.

“She played the role of both a mother and a father, working three or four jobs,” Latif said.

Latif recalls seeing the struggle his mother endured, working multiple jobs in order to provide for his family. Her struggle is a constant reminder of where he came from and he uses it as his motivation to work hard toward his goals.

In 2000, when Latif was 10 years old, he moved to

the U.S. with his single mother and three sisters– without knowing a word of English.

But even the young Latif would not let a language barrier stand in the way of his goals. Latif knew what he wanted and knew exactly how he was going to achieve those goals.

“After my move from Afghanistan, I started getting involved in police programs and had plans of joining the police academy following college,” Latif said. “But once I entered campus and started getting more involved with my major, things happened that changed my mind,” he said.

Having been involved in a multitude of extracurricular activities and student government, Latif felt he was ready to go further, and he did, after being

elected president of Associated Students Inc., in 2013.

Fulfilling the role of president and looking out for the student body’s best interest was not always easy for Latif, considering he was the first engineer to hold a presidential seat.

During presidency, Latif learned a lot about himself and the university system as a whole. Working with people of various different personalities and cultures helped Latif understand that a person cannot become successful individually, but is ultimately a team effort.

“I have had so many people influence me, ultimately the current ASI President Harpreet Bath and of course my vice president at the time, Jonny Leggett, who challenged me, and made sure I was always

thinking on my feet,” he said.

“His ability to hear people out, give everybody a chance and bring people together are some qualities that I got to pick up on and have been able to use in my term as president,” said current Associated Students President Harpreet Bath.

It was not until after graduation that things suddenly became real for Latif.

“Recently my grandfather was in the hospital for a couple weeks in and out, and when I was there visiting him, I took a glance at the IV bag. I noticed that it was from the company I am currently working for,” he said.

Latif then knew he had found his calling.

“That same IV bag that was keeping my

grandfather alive was the same bag that I had been working on,” he said. “That is one of the reasons I realized that my mechanical engineering skills have been able to save not only my grandfather’s life, but the lives of others as well.”

Aside from pursuing his masters in mechanical engineering, Latif is currently working on starting his own lighting business. Although Latif has hesitation of investing in something that isn’t necessarily guaranteed.

Latif feels this is a great test, because while your mind is telling you that you can’t get through it, you must ultimately get through it.

“I learned that in life, whatever you want to do, you must have a game plan before you can start influencing things,” Latif said.

Arranging this semester’s adventures

The Adventure Club leaders make plans on a mountain range LEON ROME Daily Titan

The sun was setting when leaders of the CSUF Adventure Club arrived at an extremely cold, yet undeniably breathtaking campground in the San Gabriel Mountains on Jan. 15 around 5 p.m.

The purpose of the retreat to Coldbrook Campground, located in the Angeles National Forest, was to brainstorm and plan

the trips the Adventure Club would be taking this semester.

They soon needed a campfire. Bryant Mendoza, 23, graphic design major and the club’s treasurer, jumped at the opportunity to use his ferrocerium rod, a man-made metallic material that sparks when scraped upon a rough surface. After starting the campfire, they began discussing the spring itinerary over hamburgers on the grill.

The meeting determined there will be three camping trips, three hiking trips and three activity trips for

this semester. The actual locations, dates and times for these trips will become available to club members as soon as they reserve each location, but for now they’re aiming for nine adventures.

According to Secretary of the Adventure Club, Melissa Yang, 20, many students hesitate to join the club because they don’t think they’re athletic or adventurous enough to keep up with everyone else.

“It’s open for everyone of all levels. You don’t have to be experienced at something. We try to keep our events balanced

so that people of all physical shapes can try to get into these activities,” Yang said.

Toward the end of the night, the leaders encountered Yucca plants around their campsite and got crafty with their discovery. Yucca plants are green shrubs with sharp leaves that spike out from the center. When the leaves are dried out, they become strong enough to be braided into ropes.

The leaders were instructed on how to braid them properly together into bracelets and ropes by Mendoza.

President of the Adventure Club and computer science major, Hemanth Sivakumar, 19, urged students to join clubs to make the most out of their time in college. Before he was president, he felt as though he was “just another eager college student looking to live a little more.”

“I never saw myself as an outgoing person. Adventure Club, CSUF helped me find the adventurous side of me. Joining the club helps students find and build their inner adventurers,” Sivakumar said.

Days of Discovery is an event put on by CSUF

Student Life Programs at the beginning of each semester in order to assist students in finding a club.

The central quad becomes filled with tables representing all of the clubs and organizations looking for new members, and its been confirmed that the Adventure Club will be there for both days of Days of Discovery seeking new eager students who are up for adventures.

“It’s an easy way to start to get more into the outdoors. We have to appreciate the land we have. You have to go out and experience it,” Mendoza said.

OPINION Dismissing the Patriots is the right move

PAGE 8 JANUARY 26, 2015 MONDAY

The Patriots should be penalized and banned if guilty SARAH HEMADI For the Daily Titan

The New England Patriots shouldn’t be allowed to play in the upcoming Super Bowl if the NFL finds them guilty of intentionally deflating the balls that were used in last week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Football players are idolized in today’s society and the Super Bowl is the most viewed program on television, with millions of dollars going towards advertising.

As news broke over the past few days that the Patriots were being investigated for possibly deflating 11 balls used in their game against the Colts, fans were infuriated.

This isn’t the first time the

Patriots have been involved in questionable activities.

In 2007, they were involved in the Spygate controversy, in which they were fined $500,000 and denied their first-round draft pick because they recorded sideline signals used by the New York Jets.

Tom Brady and various other players on the team are held up as role models for impressionable young fans, and this sends a disturbing message that cheating is acceptable.

Reactions have been mixed, but even professional athletes like Russell Sherman said, “Whatever they did, the risk-reward was greater.”

Now, are we simply going to stand by and say, “Well, everybody cheats, and it is justified because they wanted to win.”

This points to a larger issue played out in high schools and colleges, where cheating is significantly on the rise.

75 percent of high school students have admitted to

cheating on tests and homework, according to a recent study from the Josephson Institute of Ethics.

One out of every three students has used the Internet to plagiarize assignments, and research indicates similar trends among undergraduate and graduate students.

The value of hard work and putting off the need for immediate gratification has become an old fashioned ideal.

The reactions to the allegations brought against the Patriots indicate that people don’t think cheating is cheating unless they get caught.

The reactions also show that as society becomes more and more competitive, our culture expects people to cheat because it shows that they are always looking to advance themselves.

The cheater gets their reward and then feels justified in their actions, despite the fact that they didn’t earn it

honorably.

“It’s certainly accepted as part of the culture that you game the system as much as you possibly can, and if you don’t get caught, it ain’t cheating,” said Stephen Mosher, a sports ethics professor at Ithaca College, in a recent article from the New York Times.

“I’m sure the Patriots are not the first, nor are they the last team to do this kind of

thing.”

The Patriots are currently valued as a multibillion-dollar team, according to Forbes.

The highest penalty they will probably pay for the “deflate-gate” controversy is $25,000.

This seems like a slap on the wrist. Although it’s still an ongoing investigation, if they’re found guilty, what should their

punishment be?

Could there have been a different outcome to the game?

It’s definitely an intriguing mystery, but the integrity of the game must be preserved, and since the Patriots didn’t learn their lesson after the hefty fines from Spygate, they shouldn’t be allowed to play in the Super Bowl.

Choosing to go it alone and loving it everyday

Exploring the world on your own is the best way to do it.

VIVIAN CHOW Daily Titan

I recently had the privilege of traveling with family, and as usual it was chaotic, confusing, loud and exhausting. Most importantly, it was incredibly fun.

Some of you might be able to remember the last time you had a big get-together with your relatives. Whether it was coming together for a camping trip, spending the day at a theme park or

taking a cruise with the entire gang. Family time is important, but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming.

I’ve always been independent, even as a child I would constantly drift away from my parents to explore on my own. No matter if it was at the toy store, the park or, to my mother’s horror,－while traveling around in a brand new city.

There was something exhilarating about being on my own, especially in a foreign place. When you’re alone, you see and explore the places around you differently.

When I was 12 years old, I lost my family while traveling in San Francisco and it’s

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

still one of my fondest memories to this day. It was the first time I’d ever been completely separated from anyone I knew, in a place where no one knew who I was.

At first it was a bit disconcerting, but eventually I started browsing around the streets, popping in to bookstores and boutiques, enjoying the scenery and people around me and I eventually found my way to the most delicious coffee shop in my life.

Maybe it was the novelty of the separation that excited me at 12 years old, but I found that to be untrue as I’ve gotten older.

Not many people can say

they’ve traveled alone and I don’t blame them. It can be a bit scary if you’re in a foreign country or for fear of getting lost, but the idea behind traveling alone is still worth considering.

Spending time with yourself is both a privilege and a right. We are bombarded with so many tasks and people throughout the day. We have to answer to our bosses, take care of our family, worry about school or wonder if we’ll land that job. This can be taxing and burdensome.

Being alone with ourselves means we don’t have to answer to anyone, we are alone with our thoughts and answer only to ourselves.

I was traveling in Hong Kong last summer and decided to spend a few days by myself. I walked around the city, relying only on a map and my rusty Chinese.

I learned to let the journey write itself, going where I pleased and stopping when I chose, never worrying about time.

I felt free and untethered from myself. I felt I could be anyone and do anything, and that’s a feeling I’ll never tire of.

The next time you have a day off, consider traveling by yourself. It doesn’t have to be on vacation, but it can be a day trip to a local city or even going out to lunch

and catching a movie by yourself.

If you’ve never done this before, it may be strange at first, but you’ll learn a lot more about yourself in the end. Being alone gives you time to notice your environment when no one is taking your attention away.

It fosters confidence knowing you don’t have to rely on anyone else to be content. Being alone can also open up new opportunities around you because you only see through your perspective and are free to act and peruse as you desire.

Don’t be afraid to be alone.

It’s the best gift that you can give yourself.

SPORTS Women’s hoops split weekend games

PAGE 10 JANUARY 26, 2015 MONDAY

CSUF fell to Cal Poly SLO, but rebounded to keep UCSB winless TAMEEM SERAJ Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team may not have had their best weekend, but they kept it close against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and grinded out a win against UC Santa Barbara.

After a flying start to the Big West Conference schedule at 2-0, UC Davis halted the Titans’ four-game winning streak. Cal Poly SLO came to Titan Gym and knocked CSUF down to a mediocre 2-2 in conference.

All season long, the Titans have been putting their focus toward shutting down the opposing team’s top threat and forcing supporting players to step up; Thursday was no different. The Mustangs’ highest scorer, Ariana Elegado, is averaging 15.8 points per game, good for fourth in the Big West. However, Elegado was

held scoreless through the first half.

“We’re going to make somebody else beat us,” Head Coach Daron Park said. “We’re not just going to lay back and say, ‘We know you’re a big-time player, do whatever you want.’”

With Elegado struggling, Kristen Ale stepped up for the Mustangs with a 10-point first half effort. The Titans shot themselves in the foot in the first half, going a dismal 2-of11 from the free throw line.

Cal Poly SLO carried a 30-19 advantage into halftime.

In the second half, the Titans trailed by as many as 17 points with seven minutes to play, but Park switched to full-court pressure in an attempt to force turnovers. The strategy worked well, cutting the deficit to just six with under two minutes left, but the clock was against the Titans’ side. The Mustangs fended off the comeback bid to win 57-48.

Poor free throw shooting plagued the Titans in the second half again, making just 8-of-15 attempts from the

Senior guard Chante Miles and the Titans successfully pulled off a trick play to start the second half against UC Santa Barbara.

charity stripe. They finished the game 38.5 percent from the line (10-of-26), a stat that baffled Park.

“We are a 75 percent shooting team from the free throw line, so that was really uncharacteristic for us,” Park said. “If you get a chance to get to the line and cut into the

lead with the clock stopped, we have to take advantage of that.”

Fullerton bounced back with a 54-50 win against UCSB to keep the Gauchos winless at 0-18. Santa Barbara, however, played their hearts out and were determined to get their elusive first win.

“I think every team is scary,” Park said. “If you put on an opposing jersey and come into our gym, you’re coming in to try and take something from us, so we don’t take anybody lightly.”

A key factor for Fullerton fending off a feisty Gauchos squad was the return of forward Kathleen Iwuoha. The senior from Rancho Cucamonga missed the previous three matches due to a concussion.

“I was excited to play,” Iwuoha said. “At the beginning the game I had jitters, but as I got warmed up and comfortable, the game just came to me.”

Offense didn’t come easy for either team in the first half, with both teams shooting under 40 percent from the floor. The Titans were sloppy with their possessions early, turning the ball over 14 times in the first 20 minutes. UCSB held a slim 24-22 lead going into the locker room.

The Titans began the second half with a trick play, lining up all their players under the same basket they attacked

in the first half. Unaware of the deviation, UCSB failed to notice when Fullerton inbounded the ball to Chante Miles, who went unopposed for an easy lay-up on the other end. The trick play has been something the team has talked about in practice, Park said.

“I couldn’t make it too obvious, but it was a great feeling to know that my teammates helped me out, too, and executed the play,” Miles said.

Fullerton regained the lead at the 5:25 mark, and the Gauchos were forced to foul late in the game. The Fullerton faithful were nervous late. With 15 seconds remaining and a 2-point advantage, Tailer Butler stepped up to the line to ice the game. She missed both attempts, but Portia Neale corralled the rebound and Miles drained her free throws to put the game to bed.

The Titans will next turn their focus to their upcoming away game on Thursday. Fullerton play rivals Long Beach State at 7 p.m.

Ice hockey playoff bound The Titans hang on to eliminate the 49ers and clinch their spot TAMEEM SERAJ Daily Titan With a big 4-3 win against rival Long Beach State at Lakewood Ice, the Titan ice hockey team secured a spot in the West Coast Hockey Conference playoffs.

The loss for Long Beach knocks them out of contention for the playoffs.

“It was a huge win. Long Beach is our rival and we knew coming in here, playing in their house, that we needed to play a big game and we did,” Fullerton Assistant Coach Chris Houlihan said.

The game started out aggressively, with a lot of hits.

Long Beach was the first to break open the scoring at the 7:43 mark. From the right side, 49er Matt Jolliff fired a shot

that was stopped by Cal State Fullerton goalie Trevor Wada, but Kris Rogers was there to deposit the rebound.

Alec Censullo gave Fullerton their first big chance on a breakaway 12 minutes into the game, but Long Beach goalie Corey Jones made the save.

The Titans, however, equalized late into the first period.

Mischa Chang streaked down the left side, turned on the afterburners and blew by his defender. He swept in front of the net with speed, and a sprawling Jones could do nothing as Chang potted the goal.

Early in the second, Long Beach had a prime opportunity to regain the lead with a power play. Fullerton’s Sean Saligumba picked the pocket of a 49er defender and wrapped it around Jones to give the Titans their first lead.

The rivalry started setting in at the midway point, as things got heated with some extracurricular pushing and

shoving after each stoppage of play.

“We know the type of game Long Beach plays, they will try and get under your skin,” Houlihan said.

With the Titans on the power play, David Marabella received a pass from Censullo on the right side. With traffic parked in front of the net, Marabella sniped a wrister to the top right corner off the post and into the back of the net to make it 3-1.

Ian Hoang breathed life back into the 49ers, putting the moves on the Titan defense during a 4-on-4 and rifling it to the top left corner past Wada at the 16:35 mark of the second period.

Early into the third, Chang used his blazing speed again to race past a Long Beach defender and to get to the front of the net. Chang’s backhanded shot got through Jones’ legs, bringing the Titan lead back to two.

As the penalty minutes

accumulated, the Titans found themselves having to lean on their penalty kill unit to secure the win. At 5:11, the 49ers had a goal called back because of high-sticking, but then 44 seconds later they got their reward. Adam Johnson scored a rebound in his debut with the team.

With 10 minutes remaining in the game, the 49ers had a golden opportunity with 1:33 on the 5-on-3 advantage. “I was nervous as hell,” Wada said. “I kept looking at the clock and was thinking, ‘Alright, five minutes, three minutes, two minutes, one minute … It was like a little kid screaming, ‘Oh my God’ the whole time.”

However, Wada and the Titans stood tough to kill the penalty. Wada made a huge save by lunging to his right on a point blank shot and just seconds later took a shot off his mask. The Titans were on their heels, but they did not break and held on to win 4-3.

Men’s basketball remains winless The Titans are still in search of their elusive first Big West victory DREW CAMPA Daily Titan A swing through California’s central coast netted some positive results for the Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team. However, they were not able to get that elusive first Big West Conference win.

The Titans concluded a two-game road trip with defeats versus Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Thursday and against UC Santa Barbara on Saturday.

With the setbacks, the

Titans remain winless in conference play with a 0-5 mark, while the squad is 8-12 overall.

Despite a 68-49 defeat to Santa Barbara on Saturday, CSUF had its moments, including when the squad took a 36-31 lead into halftime.

That marked the first time the Titans had taken an advantage into the break in conference play this season.

The Titans’ lead was fueled behind the team’s 46 percent shooting from behind the arc, including a 3-for-5 effort from redshirt junior guard Lanerryl Johnson.

Overall, CSUF shot 47 percent from the field in the first half.

Unfortunately for the Titans, the hot start didn’t last,

as the team went ice cold in the second half, shooting 14 percent from the field while only hitting 1-of-10 3-pointers over the final 20 minutes.

CSUF took its largest lead, 40-33, after a pair of free throws from Johnson with 17:26 remaining.

Another seven minutes passed before Fullerton scored again.

On the flip side, the Gauchos (10-9 overall, 3-2 Big West) heated up with a 19-0 run, aided by five points apiece from Mitch Brewe and Michael Bryson and capped on with a layup from John Green with 10:46 left to put Santa Barbara ahead, 52-40.

Senior Josh Gentry finally

snapped CSUF’s drought with a jumper at 10:22, but the Titans never sliced their deficit to less than nine points.

In defeat, Johnson finished with a team-high 21 points, which was the second time the Atlanta native has scored 20 or more points in conference play this season.

CSUF senior forward Steve McClellan, the conference’s third-leading rebounder at eight boards per game, totaled seven points and 12 rebounds. Moses Morgan added 10 points off the bench for Fullerton.

As for Thursday, the Titans hung close with Cal Poly SLO before losing, 66-55.

McClellan was his team’s lone scorer in double digits,

finishing with 12 points and 12 rebounds for his fourth double-double this season.

While the Titans lacked diversity in scoring, the Mustangs (10-8 overall, 3-3 Big West) boasted three players in double figures, with David Nwaba leading the pack with 18 points.

The Titans trailed at the half, 26-22, and appeared on the brink of being blown out as Cal Poly SLO raced to a 39-24 advantage after a free throw from Brian Bennett at 17:09. But Fullerton battled back with a layup from Gentry, a tip-in from McClellan and two free throws from Alex Harris to climb within nine at the 15:45 mark.

Eventually, the Titans cut the deficit to 53-48 on a

3-pointer from Harris with 5:25 left in the game. The comeback fizzled out though, as Cal Poly SLO scored the next six points and never looked back.

For Fullerton, the current five-game losing streak is the longest since a five-game slide from Nov. 19 through Dec. 1 in 2013, and marks the first time Fullerton has dropped five straight conference contests since 2011.

The Titans are hoping to avoid their first 0-6 start to conference play since the 2001-02 season.

CSUF has only one game this week, as it hosts rival Long Beach State at Titan Gym on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the 110th meeting between the schools.

Alumni: Former Titans return to Goodwin CONTINUED FROM

1

Junior Justin Garza got the nod to start and did not disappoint, throwing five scoreless innings with four strikeouts, while only giving up two hits to the alumni.

“I thought Garza, today, was really good. He was sitting around 93 [mph], he had command of the change-up, the slider was a real pitch.

He competed good,” Head Coach Rick Vanderhook said.

Freshman John Gavin pitched for the alumni team, and was equally impressive against the current Titan squad, throwing five scoreless innings himself and striking out six.

Vanderhook said he was impressed with Gavin’s performance also.
