Residents weigh in on fate of West Coyote Hills

CSUF inducts athletic patrons Fullerton Athletics honors latest class Hall of Famers HAYLEY M. SLYE Daily Titan

PATRICK DO / DAILY TITAN

A Fullerton resident who lives close to the proposed site of neighborhoods in West Coyote Hills expresses her opinion during Wednesday night’s open forum. The public was able to address the planning commission and voice their concerns to city officials.

Tension mounts as residents address officials in forum SULE RECINOS Daily Titan Fullerton residents raised questions to city officials over the future of West Coyote Hills at Tuesday’s planning commission study session

at the Fullerton Community Center. The hearing covered plans for use of land on the hills. Out of the 510 acres in question, 301 acres will be dedicated to a habitat preserve. The rest of the acreage will be reserved for up to 757 houses. Tensions rose at the meeting when residents asked why the city would have to buy additional land from the developer to increase the acreage of the habitat preserve. The

committee had to ask the public to limit their speaking to one person at a time. “The public is involved through any time there is a public hearing, (they) always can send in written comments,” said Karen Haluza, director of Fullerton’s community development department. “It’s a public process that’s always available to everybody.” One resident asked to what extent the public’s input have

an impact on the commission’s decisions. “I really don’t have an answer for that. It’s subjective. I can say that everyone is absolutely being listened to,” Haluza said. The planned development’s water usage worried some Fullerton residents due to California’s drought crisis. Water usage drew the ire of a resident who said he didn’t understand why the city asked everyone to reduce their water

usage while Fullerton planned to allow more homes to be built, bolstering usage. “This development will use significantly less on a percentage basis than the existing city,” Director of Public Works Don Hoppe said. He said that there was plenty of water in the groundwater table and the commission had an agreement with the water board for more resources. SEE FORUM 3

Final health dean forum held Potential health dean addressed student diversity ERICA BUESA Daily Titan Miguel Perez, Ph.D., spoke to a group of Cal State Fullerton faculty and staff Thursday as he vied for the College of Health and Human Development dean position. He is the third and final candidate to speak at the open forums. Perez currently serves as the undergraduate program coordinator at CSU Fresno and has been with the university since 1999. Perez served as chair to the Department of Health at Fresno before becoming the department’s coordinator. Perez is also a graduate of the CSU system, where he earned his bachelor’s degree from Dominguez Hills in 1984. Perez began his speech by addressing some key issues

and challenges he might currently face as dean, including “diminishing resources,” recruitment of both students and faculty and salary stagnation, something Perez said is “close and dear” to his heart. Perez said that many students now have to work parttime, if not full-time jobs in order to stay in school and pay the bills. He recalled that when he was a full-time student, he did not need a job. “Now when I’m teaching my classes and I ask my students ‘How many of you have a job in addition to coming to school?’ at least three quarters of the hands go up,” Perez said. “They have a family to support. They have job responsibilities and people that they’re responsible to at work.” Dr. Perez’s specialty is cultural competence. With that in mind, he recognizes that “we live in a highly diversified society” not limited to race and ethnicity. SEE DEAN 2

Miguel Perez told staff and faculty that diversity means more than just race. He said it encompasses sexual orientation, gender and citizenship status.

The Titan Athletics Hall of Fame honored its sixth class of inductees on Thursday night, adding over 20 alumni and Fullerton Athletics supporters to the list. The biannual event recognizes those who have made significant contributions to Titan Athletics on and off of the field. Jenny Topping, Mark Covert, Neal Stoner, Paul Folino, Ted Silva and Associated Students, Inc. were this year’s honorees. Three inductees were honored for their success as student athletes. Covert ran at least one mile a day for 45 years, earning him national recognition and a world record. As a Titan, Covert was the first Division I All-American in any sport. He said his teammates were particularly special to him during his time at Fullerton, including Tim Tubb who died of cancer two weeks before Covert was inducted. Topping said that her teammates and mentors were integral to her success as well. She said she came to CSUF to play for her “idol,” Michelle Gromacki, a fellow catcher and former CSUF softball coach. Now, Topping wants to give back. “When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was play,” Topping said. “I just had this passion, so in my life now all I want to do is help children grow and create bigger dreams.” Silva also took his success on the field into coaching. The former ace of the 1995 CSUF baseball team — winner of the national championship and considered by some to be the greatest NCAA baseball team ever assembled — is now the pitching coach at the University of Nebraska. Folino, Stoner and ASI were honored for their contributions away from the field. CSUF Director of Athletics Jim Donovan acknowledged the work of ASI to generate funds for Titan Athletics, like increasing the overall budget by 60 percent over the last four years with its contributions and the help of the Student Success Initiative.

“I’m talking about things like sexual orientation, I’m talking about age, I’m talking about gender, I’m talking about immigration and (citizenship) status. So, being able to understand the realities of each one of these constituencies became very important to our ability to meet our primary educational mission,” Perez said. Perez acknowledged that he alone cannot find all of the solutions. Teamwork is key, as each individual has their own wealth of knowledge. He addressed the dropout rates among students and what could be done to change this. “Why are students dropping out, and what can we

do to help them stay?” Perez asked. ”Is there an achievement gap between transfer students and native students? So, what can we do to make that transition from community colleges into the CSU easier? Not only that, but how do we help them transition from Fullerton into either their new careers or pursue a master’s or doctoral level degree?” In addition to student and faculty success, Perez said he cared greatly for staff and valued all they can bring to the table, claiming many of them might want to pursue opportunities within the university. When asked what kind of leader he is, Perez said, “I consider myself to be an open and approachable leader.”

California roads lack funding Gov. Jerry Brown has been facing challenges to find support to fund his plans to repair California’s roads, and the longer it takes for both parties to reach an agreement, the higher the costs will be, according to the Los Angeles Times. Both Democrats and Republicans want to restore the state’s highways, bridges and streets, but there is lack of support to raise taxes for the project. One of the proposals Republicans disapproved of was $3.6 billion in annual funding that would have come from higher taxes on fuel and a new fee on drivers. Administration and local officials estimate that repairing state roads would require $59 billion. Another $78 billion would be needed for city and county roads. - DARLENE CASAS

CSU faculty to decide on strike

California Faculty Association members to vote this week

- JASON ROCHLIN

BREANNA VASQUEZ Daily Titan The California Faculty Association (CFA) begins voting today on whether or not to authorize a California State University-wide strike regarding the widening wage inequality between full-time faculty and campus presidents. The CFA is also upset with the loss of purchasing power and the inability of younger faculty to pay back student loans. The voting period will end Oct. 28. Michele L. Barr, Ed.D., vice president of the CSUF CFA chapter said that while teachers like her prefer to be in the classroom, “there’s a point when you’ve got to go into self-preservation mode.” In 2007, 94 percent of CFA members voted to authorize a two-day rolling strike that would have resulted in the strike moving from one campus to another. However, an agreement was made two days prior to those strikes occurring, according to the CFA. CFA members have refused the proposed 2 percent salary increase offered by CSU management, instead seeking a 5 percent General Salary Increase and a 2.65 percent Salary Service Increase for eligible faculty, according to the CFA.

California Highway Patrol officers found a dead 40-year-old motorcyclist early Sunday after he crashed into a freeway concrete median wall, according to the OC Register. The rider’s name has not been released, but he was confirmed to be a resident of Costa Mesa riding a 1995 Suzuki Intruder 800 when he crashed into the concrete wall while traveling the southbound 405. The crash happened near Wilshire Boulevard and was reported at 12:30 a.m. The driver was ejected from his bike after the crash and fell about 15 feet to the dirt embankment below. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Since the financial crisis of 2008, CSU faculty members have not had a cost of living increase, making it increasingly difficult for younger faculty to pay back their college loan debt and making housing a distant dream, Barr said. Two percent is just too little after all this time, Barr said. From 2004 to 2014, CSU faculty salary has only increased 10 percent while the average president’s salary grew 36 percent, according the CFA’s “Race to the Bottom” paper. According to a CFA survey, 60 percent of faculty respondents said they were unable to afford housing in the community where their campus is located. Also, 86 percent of faculty who were parents said they were

not able to save money for their own children’s college experience. “As a father of two young boys, not only can I not afford a home, not only can I not afford to pay off my student debt, but I cannot even afford to save money to one day put my kids through college,” said Matthew P. Llewellyn, Ph.D., assistant professor of sports studies. The negotiation for the proposed pay increase is now in the fact-finding stage in California’s Higher Education Employment Relations Act, where both sides will provide evidence and facts to a three-person panel, according to the CFA bargaining team. If both sides are unable to make an agreement after this stage, a strike may occur.

Typhoon Koppu made landfall in the Philippines Sunday morning, triggering floods, landslides and power outages across the island country, according to BBC News. The storm system is expected to bring more torrential downpours over the northern Philippines over the next few days, and authorities are concerned that flood waters will continue to threaten local residents. Transportation services have been suspended in many areas. President Benigno Aquino even appeared on TV to warn of the inclement weather, the first time he has done so since 2013’s deadly Haiyan, a super typhoon that killed over 6,000. More than 15,000 have already been evacuated from the more hardhit areas on the island of Luzon, but they may have to hunker down for up to three days before the slow-moving storm passes. - GERARD AVELINO

‘Shakeout’ hits CSUF campus Over 10.5 million take part in statewide drill ERICA SHARP Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton participated in the Great California Shakeout Drill last Thursday, where students were encouraged to practice the duck-and-cover drill in preparation for the “big one.” At 10:10 a.m. a campus-wide announcement

was sent via text and email to students, faculty and other personnel that an earthquake drill was beginning. Intercom announcements provided the scenario: an magnitude 8 had hit the CSUF area. The drill lasted for approximately three minutes, notifying all to duck, cover and hold on, which is the best safety measure in the event of an earthquake, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. It is wise to have a plan in advance for

earthquakes, said Interim Dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, David Bowman, Ph.D., a geology professor and seismologist at CSUF who has been involved since the original Great Shakeout took place in 2008. “Preparing for an earthquake should be much, much more before duck and cover. That’s just only going to be helpful for you in that moment,” Bowman said. “Earthquake preparedness is all about the weeks, months and years before the earthquake

when you don’t know it’s going to happen.” Bowman said the Great Shakeout drill is an annual reminder to get people to start thinking about their plan. “It’s easy to be blasé about an earthquake drill, but take it as an opportunity to think,” Bowman said. “Go home and look at what you’ve got. Are you ready?” According to the CDC, this plan should include making a list of contacts — such as family and friends, police, paramedics and

medical centers — creating an emergency kit that will sustain for at least three days, planning an evacuation route at home and setting priorities such as important items that will be carried by hand or vehicle if time permits. However, despite the importance emphasised by the drill, many students seemed to ignore it. History major Jessica Flores, 19, said she was taken aback by the drill and at first she didn’t know what to do. She said she was tempted to follow the

instructions since it was something she learned in high school but chose not to since everyone around her wasn’t participating. Claire Trinidad, a 23-year-old business major, did not participate either, but thinks it should be taken more seriously. “That’s the sad part,” Trinidad said, “Even though it is a drill, no one takes it seriously and in the case that an actual earthquake would happen, it’s kind of like we won’t know what the outcome would be.”

Hoppe also said that the planned neighborhood will use significantly less water than the surrounding neighborhoods. Residents who were not satisfied with Hoppe’s answer shouted from the audience. “I don’t know how else you want me to respond,” Hoppe said. “I can tell you we can get the water.” Another resident said she took pains in digging out her lawn over the summer and was outraged that the city instructed residents like her to reduce water consumption by nearly 50 percent yet homes are being built in the hills next to her house. “That does not make any logical sense to me whatsoever,” she said. Water preservation was part of a state mandate handed down from the

governor’s office, Hoppe said. He also said that the commission had a long-term solution to limit the water use of the homes to 90 gallons per day. The city plans to fund the preservation project through Orange County Transportation Authority grants, a federal endowment from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and local wildlife conservation board funds. The trails will be divided between the four planned neighborhoods. West Coyote Hills and Key Vista trails will be improved in the trail phasing plan and would give the public access to the Robert E. Ward Nature preserve. The nature preserve would also have a new interpretative center built inside. An upcoming special meeting for the planning commission is scheduled for Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. at Fullerton City Hall.

Theater REVIEW:

Carrie: The Musical

The musical dazzles with flawless set design and direction ZACK JOHNSTON Daily Titan Stephen King’s iconic novel “Carrie” has seen its fair share of renditions and interpretations over the decades: a film adaptation in 1976 with remakes in 2002 and again in 2013, a Broadway musical adaptation in the late ‘80s, an off-Broadway revival in 2012 and a production currently running at the historic Los Angeles Theatre. The beloved and gruesome story of a lonely misfit teenage girl who is mercilessly taunted by her peers and abused by her devoutly religious mother is one that intrigues almost all audiences. On top of her sad circumstances, Carrie discovers that she has telekinetic powers, which she uses to exact her revenge on the people who have made her miserable. Throw in some rock show tunes and clever lighting and the story has the makings of a Broadway hit. However, the musical rendition has not always gone so smoothly. Past productions of “Carrie: The Musical” have been short-lived and received much negative criticism, so for anyone to take on the challenge

and responsibility of the show is quite a courageous act. And that is exactly what director Jim Taulli and the students of Cal State Fullerton did. “Carrie: The Musical,” which opened Friday in the Little Theatre, is a wondrous display of lighting, sound, set design and costuming, along with powerful performances and vocals of the show’s actors. Each piece of this intricate production adds to the overall spectacle and makes for a captivating and heart-wrenching performance. Despite the admittedly poor script, CSUF’s production turns this Broadway bombshell into a dazzling theatrical powerhouse. A common challenge encountered when doing “Carrie: The Musical” is representing all of the different settings involved in the story. A detailed and versatile high school gymnasium set designed by Fred Kinney effectively serves not only the pivotal prom scene, but also the scenes taking place outside Chamberlain High School. In addition to the set, the production incorporates light design by John Favreau and projection design by Ben Hawkins to add a creative visual aspect to the performance. Through the use of projections, the gymnasium set turns into Carrie’s prayer closet, her bedroom and even the high school library.

Paired with the effective lighting, the production is given a realistic touch that properly illustrates the setting and instills the appropriate emotions. Each character’s costume was designed by Karen Toledo and relates to his or her personality to help tell a piece of the story. Carrie’s prom dress in particular is an impressive display of beauty and functionality, as it turns heads throughout the prom scene and then transforms for the scene’s graphic ending. The titular role of Carrie White is played by Bachelor of Fine Arts musical theatre student Madeleine Ellingson, who illustrates the tortured, misunderstood soul of Carrie while still expressing her glimmers of hopefulness. CSUF alumna Brooke Aston plays Carrie’s ruthless born-again Christian mother, Margaret White. With her balance of harshness and tenderness and her flawless soprano voice, Brooke is absolutely captivating as Margaret. The creative teams involved in the making of this production, the excellent direction from Taulli and the talented performers are what sets CSUF’s “Carrie: The Musical” apart from others, and what makes it a pleasure to watch. “Carrie: The Musical” plays through Nov. 1.

“Carrie: The Musical” is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the CSUF theater program. The title role of Carrie White is played by theater student Madeleine Ellingson.

Fusion band rocks Becker concert Local band plays rock, funk and pop at Becker Amphitheater CONNIE LEE Daily Titan The band Ship of the Rising Sun rocked the Becker Amphitheater with enough energy to make the bands of Woodstock jealous on Wednesday. Despite the heat and humidity that had people rushing inside, Ship of the Rising Sun kept the growing audience cheering with strapping guitar solos and dance moves galore. The band’s look and groovy tunes are what drew ASI Wednesday Concert Coordinator Ryan Garcia to invite them to perform at Cal State Fullerton. “They have a lot of energy,” Garcia said. “I liked the way they looked, but I knew they were going to be a good band when I was researching them on YouTube. I heard a couple of their songs, liked them and I hoped the

students would like them.” The local band looked and sounded like it stepped through a time portal from the ‘70s. Lead singer Uriel Moon’s bold voice is comparable to Eric Burden of the Animals. Ship of the Rising Sun’s eclectic mix of psychedelic rock and funk keeps the band standing out in a sea of EDM and commercial pop. The fusion band formed in 2012 in Culver City and has a debut album called “Junior. Junior. Senior.” In the three short years the band’s members have been playing together, they have already performed all over Los Angeles at clubs such as Skinny’s Lounge and the retro Golden Box. Moon gave the small show a festival feel with his natural and outgoing stage persona and lyrics that would make anyone want to howl at the moon. The rest of the band amazed the crowd with relaxing, yet upbeat melodies. The audience started out

small, with about 10 people and a few bystanders curiously waiting to see the kind of show Ship of the Rising Sun was going to put on. A few minutes into the set, the cheering started and people passing by in every direction soon stopped to listen. “He wanted everyone to feel excited,” said Josette Camacho, criminal justice major. “From the bands ASI has been having here, I would love to see them again because they’re just fun.” While the band crooned original songs from its album, it also gave memorable renditions of classic favorites that got everyone’s lips moving. Some covers included MGMT’s “Electric Feel” and Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.” Jesus Gomez, a member of the audience who had been anxious to see the concert start, said that by hanging out around the Becker beforehand, he had discovered the work ASI puts into bringing a good musical balance at the Wednesday concerts.

Lead singer Uriel Moon and bass player Kasey Cohn relax between sets. Ship of the Rising Sun rocked the Becker Amphitheater with a fusion sound of rock, pop and psychedelic funk.

“I come here to experience the new music,” Gomez said. “Most of the bands that play at the Becker are pretty good, but they’ve been bringing in solo artists lately, so I’m excited to see what type of music they play.”

Even a few people who arrived with frowns managed to smile after just a couple of songs. That’s all thanks to the charisma of Ship of the Rising Sun. The Becker Amphitheater

has a few marks to it from previous musical acts, but there’s no doubt that Ship of the Rising Sun has left its mark not only on CSUF, but on the audience and everyone who has a chance to enjoy its music.

Police blameless for trained reactions

Officers involved in child’s death acted out of concern for safety DANIELLE ORTENZIO Daily Titan

The question isn’t whether Tamir Rice deserved to die. No child deserves to die. The real question lies in whether the police officer who shot a 12-year-old boy honestly believed he was in enough danger to justify firing the shot that took that little boy’s life. Nearly one year after the untimely death of Tamir Rice, reports filed for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor determined that experts agreed the officer who shot Rice was justified in his action. Due to a lack of communication with the dispatcher, the officers, Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback, were forced to react with lethal force, believing that their lives were in danger. The policemen were never told that the witness who dialed 911 suspected that the gun was probably fake, according to CNN. In November of 2014, Rice was playing outside a Clevaland recreation center while in possession of an airsoft pellet gun that closely resembled a handgun enough so that which prompted a witness to call 911 and report it. When police arrived on the scene, they did not have the information that the gun was “probably fake” and that it was being held by a suspect who appeared to be a juvenile. Because of this lack of vital information, when Rice reached toward his waistband, Loehmann shot the boy.

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

Because of the dangerous nature of their job, police officers are trained to handle every situation with extreme caution for their own safety. Expert-written reports filed for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor determine that the officer who shot Tamir Rice did so out of reasonable fear for his life.

The officers had a reason to act defensibly. They were under the impression that they were “responding to a report of a male suspect with a gun he kept pulling from his pants,” according to CNN. If a police officer believes his life is in danger, he has a right to protect his own life, especially in light of a recent increase in

officer fatalities. A preliminary 2014 report on officer deaths released by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund reported the total officer fatalities at 126, with firearms-related deaths having increased by 56 percent since 2013. S. Lamar Sims, the senior chief deputy district attorney in Denver, wrote in

one of the recent reports, “I conclude that Officer Loehmann’s belief that Rice posed a serious threat of physical harm or death was objectively reasonable as was his response to that perceived threat.” Police are taught to protect themselves if they are ever thrown into a situation where a suspect is said to have a gun. What is referred

to among police officers as “the first rule of law enforcement,” is the concept that at the end of the day, the goal is to go home safely. Therefore, they view every potential suspect, situation and dispatch as a threat to their own safety. An article released by the Atlantic describes police tactics that are taught while in training. One such rule is

not to hesitate when a suspect is reaching for what could be a gun, or when they have a potential weapon in their hand. As the saying goes, “better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.” Police risk their lives on a daily basis in order to protect innocent people of the community. They can’t really be blamed for wanting to protect themselves as well.

Titans are first in Big West Women’s soccer now lead their conference with weekend wins RYAN PORTER Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team defeated UC Irvine and UC Riverside on the road to help secure the top spot in the Big West Conference. vs. UC Irvine The Titans defeated UC Irvine on Friday night at Anteater Stadium. Christina Burkenroad and Rebecca Wilson both netted goals to propel the Titans to their third conference win. Burkenroad drew first blood by scoring in the 58th minute on a through ball from Wilson to make the score 1-0. Along with her assist, Wilson later scored her 15th goal of the season in the 63rd minute to give the Titans some assurance for the rest of the game. With Fullerton netminder Jennifer Stuart in goal, the Titans are undefeated (9-00) this year. She made two saves before being scored on by UCI in the last minute of the match, ending the game at 2-1.

With the win, the women’s soccer team had its best record since 2007 (12-8-2).

vs. UC Riverside The Titans defeated UC Riverside 1-0 on Sunday night for their fourth straight win in the Big West Conference. Both teams came into the game with the same conference record (3-1-0). Riverside defeated the previously undefeated Long Beach to create a threeway tie for first place with Fullerton. Regardless of the high stakes, the game got off to a slow start. Plenty of shots were taken in the first half, but no goals were scored for either side. UCR kept the Titan’s dynamic duo rather quiet, limiting Rebecca Wilson to four shots with one on goal and Christina Burkenroad to three shots with one on goal. The Titans did not get onto the board until Morgan Batcheller scored in the 61st minute on a penalty kick. Her third goal of the season would prove to secure the only goal of the game, guaranteeing the Titans their fourth conference win. Regardless of the

RENZY REYES / DAILY TITAN

Cal State Fullerton has made significant strides since the beginning of the season to improve its defense. The Titans ability to stop nine opponents from scoring has helped them take the Big West South Division in the last stretch before the tournament.

Historic night with Titan shutout win Men’s soccer earned its most clean sheets by routing UC Irvine

an overall record of 3-8-3 overall and 1-3-1 record in the Big West Conference. However, the Titans had not beaten the Anteaters in the regular season since 2012. In the wake of tying their historical record, the Titans also looked to further cement their first place lead in the Big West South Division. Despite the score, the game was still competitive and physical. Much like the Titans, the Anteaters created many opportunities to net a goal, as they trailed the Titans in shots

AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team routed division rival UC Irvine on Saturday night by a score of 3-0, tying an all-time record for most shutouts in a season with nine. The UC Irvine Anteaters, who have been struggling on offense lately, came into the game with

and shots on goal, with seven to 10 and four to five, respectively. The Titans, of course, did a much better job of capitalizing off their opportunities. On the 11th minute, a counterattack resulted in a Ross McPhie through ball to teammate Brandon West. This gave West an open lane to goal and he easily drove the shot past the keeper for the 1-0 lead. The dynamic freshman duo of McPhie and West has been effective recently, their chemistry on the field

has posed many problems for opposing teams. The score would remain 1-0 going into the half. In the second half, Fullerton added to its total in the 60th minute with a goal from freshman midfielder Ronaldo Pineda. A nice backheel flick from junior forward Edgar Rodriguez gave West room to penetrate along the left flank. West tried to shoot, but the attempt was blocked by a defender and the rebound went straight to a trailing Pineda who blasted the ball high into net.

Along with giving Fullerton a commanding 2-0 lead, Pineda scored his second goal of the season. To top the night off, the Titans continued to pour it on with a third and final goal in the 73rd minute. Once again from the left wing, sophomore midfielder Robert Coronado beat multiple defenders as he laid off a tantalizing ball in front of goal. McPhie, who was trailing the play unguarded, calmly placed the ball into goal. Head Coach George Kuntz has high praise for the way his team has been

performing, especially on the defensive end. “It’s a big step. The guys on the field have been buying into making a complete team effort in defending and covering each other. And on the other side, with good defending always comes great offense,” Kuntz said. Currently, the Titans have outscored opponents this season 22-12 and 8-2 in Big West Conference play. CSUF hosts a rematch against Cal State Northridge this Wednesday at Titan Stadium.

Men’s golf sets its sights on Bill Cullum Invite Titans head to Simi Valley for their second meeting of October JAMES WALLACE Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team heads to Simi Valley this week to compete

scorecard, the 18th hole, a par5 measured at 521 yards, is the easiest hole on the course. The Titans will look to stay consistent and hopefully build momentum as they get closer to the finishing hole in each of their rounds. The team will look to improve their 19thplace finish in the same tournament last year. As for the host school,

Cal State Northridge is coming off of a sixthplace finish out of ten in the Cabo Del Sol Intercollegiate, held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. That has been the only tournament so far this season for the Matadors. CSUF will hit the links Monday and Tuesday at Wood Ranch Golf Course.

Folino has also made significant financial contributions to Titan Athletics, specifically the golf program. Folino spearheaded the effort to reinstate the golf team at CSUF. The Fullerton women’s and men’s golf teams, who were in attendance, lined up to shake Folino’s hand as he accepted his award.

“He’s never stopped contributing. He’s always made sure we’ve had everything we need,” said Dakota Brown, a senior kinesiology major and CSUF women’s golf team member. Former Director of Athletics Neal Stoner, on the other hand, was credited with making CSUF a Division I school for athletics and hiring Hall of Fame

coaches Augie Garrido and Bobby Dye, among others. Stoner got choked up talking about spending the ‘70s at CSUF. “It was a magical run and I can’t tell you how much fun it was. It was a great time to be a Titan,” he said. “To go in the Hall of Fame alongside Garrido, Dye, [Lynn] Rogers, Judi Garman, is more than a thrill. It’s really a great honor.”
