Men’s soccer wins South Division

RENZY REYES / DAILY TITAN

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team defeated the UC Riverside Highlanders 2-0 as they finished off Big West Conference play with a record of 6-3-1. Ross McPhie and Carlos Troncoso both scored goals to help secure their final regular season victory.

Titans clinch No. 1 seed for Big West Championships JAZMIN SAHAGUN Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team claimed the Big West South Division title with a 2-0 road win over the UC Riverside

Highlanders Saturday night. Looking to avenge a 2-1 overtime loss from its first meeting against the Highlanders, the Titans also knew the game was a must-win if they had any hopes of clinching the Big West South Division title. Early in the 10th minute, sophomore midfielder Robert Coronado found freshman midfielder Ross McPhie and served him a cross from the left side. The pass would

result in a McPhie header that found the left post to give the Titans a 1-0 lead. Both sides finished the first half firing. The Titans had a slight advantage recording a total of six shots whereas the Highlanders tallied five. With a strong defensive play by the Titans, the Highlanders were unable to produce any results within the first half. With the help of David Elias, who had previously broken Mike Ammann’s

The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team landed in a three-way tie for first place in the Big West Conference as they came up short 1-0 against UC Santa Barbara on Friday, but recovered to beat Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 2-1 on Sunday. This weekend, the race for the Big West Conference title would go down to the wire as Fullerton, UC Santa Barbara and Long Beach State were all well within reach for the top spot in the conference. The Titans and the UCSB Gauchos were both tied for second with records of 5-10 while the Long Beach

State 49ers led the way with 6-2-0 record of their own. The Titans’ match against first place UC Santa Barbara on Friday ended in disappointment as they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss. Even though Fullerton outshot their opponents 157, it was Gaucho forward Amanda Ball who was able to knock in the go-ahead goal during the 78th minute off a pass from Mallory Hromatko. The match saw Fullerton goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart’s first loss, who was previously undefeated at 11-0-0 coming into game. It was a pivotal game for Fullerton, as they could have overtaken UCSB for a top spot in the standings. With one game remaining for both Fullerton and UCSB, the Titans had no choice but to look forward to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Sunday. SEE SOCCER

Violence: Prevention seen as vital CONTINUED FROM

A survey conducted across 27 institutions of higher education by the Association of American Universities during spring 2015, showed that 11.7 percent of students in the study reported experiencing non-consensual sexual contact by physical force. The number of female undergraduate student respondents who experienced sexual misconduct was 23.1 percent. The findings also showed that the overall reporting rates to law enforcement and campus officials was

low, from five to 28 percent, depending on the type of behavior. “The numbers that we see here represent the very real experiences of human beings, of people in this room, of people we know,” Mount said. Mount introduced four ways that college campuses can be proactive about responding to sexual violence, which included multidisciplinary response, trauma-informed approaches and programs, research based and student-informed prevention programs and independent survivor assistance centers

that provide holistic healing programs. Following Mount’s presentations, the conference dispersed into three breakout discussion sessions, which allowed people to consider more specific subjects. Groups included an interactive session led by the Violence Prevention Program from the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center, a workshop on confronting the reality in dismantling rape culture and a session on reporting sexual assaults, which focused on the disclosure processes available to the CSUF

community. The conference continued with a viewing of the 2005 documentary, “The Hunting Ground,” which exposes rape crimes across campuses all over the U.S. and the institutional cover-ups that followed. “We know that violence is occurring and we want people to come forward,” said Mary Becerra, Director of the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center. “We want to instill a climate and an environment here where people feel safe to report and safe to come forward and get the care and support that they need

to heal.” Wrapping up the conference was a panel made up of CSUF staff, including Michelle Tapper, Title IX administrator; Dean of Students Tonantzin Oseguera; Alyssa Avila, violence prevention educator and victim advocate; University Police Captain John Brockie, and Stacy Mallicoat, chair of the Division of Politics, Administration and Justice. “These are our stories and I believe it is a basic human right to feel love, to feel safe in our bodies, to feel pleasure, and to be free from fear,” Mount said.

DTBRIEFS Asian tiger mosquitoes found in OC The Orange County Vector Control District found a new breed of dangerous and aggressive tropical mosquitoes, according to the OC Register. Known as the Asian tiger mosquito, the bug has reportedly been found around Los Alamitos and Huntington Beach. The black-and-whitestriped mosquitoes can carry multiple viruses, primarily dengue fever and chikungunya, which inflict fever and severe joint pain. Already battling yellow fever mosquitoes in Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, and Garden Grove, officials are not sure what brought Asian tiger mosquitos into the area. This year, West Nile Virus has claimed the lives of two people and infected 63 others in Orange County. - JENNIE VU

Doctor charged in overdoses California doctor Hsiu-Ying “Lisa” Tseng, 45, was convicted of second-degree murder in connection with three prescription drug overdose murders last Friday, according to CNN. Tseng was found guilty on 23 counts, including 19 unlawful controlled substance prescriptions. She will be the first doctor in the United States charged with prescription overdose, according to the prosecutors. Undercover agents posing as pain patients arrested Tseng three years ago. The victims, in their 20s, died in 2009 between March and December, including one student from Arizona State University.

Retirees gain chance to travel OLLI partners with nonprofit to help eldery travel and learn JENNIE VU Daily Titan The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Cal State Fullerton informed members last Saturday about travel opportunities for retirees and the chance to gain an education while traveling. The lecture, “Travel Adventures with Road Scholar,” gave people a chance to meet with tourism representatives who discussed the options and cost of educational travel. The program collaborated with Road Scholar, a nonprofit educational travel company. The company offers programs similar to that of college students’ study abroad programs, but Road Scholar representatives called their programs “vacation abroad.” “They can be anywhere from one week to over a month,” said Claire McGurn, lead representative of Road Scholar. “It’s meant to be a more in-depth cultural experience, like if you were traveling alone or with a tour group.” McGurn also called it “experiential learning on the go.” Mary Lou Langedyk, who traveled on a Road Scholar program, spoke about her trip to the Canadian Rockies. “When I went hiking in the Canadian Rockies, they did the little explanation on the bus as we were going to different national parks in Canada,” Langedyk said. She added that they learned about the history, geology and animals of the national parks in

Canada during the trip. Liz Taylor, another representative from Road Scholar, said that during her trips to Paris and London, the group started the day with a lecture before going to the various European sites. Although, the availability and prices of the trips can vary, Road Scholar offers many trips abroad. They have getaways to Spain, Costa Rica, Argentina, France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland and Greece, among other destinations. People can travel as much as they want through the program. They can travel to Greece one week, and France the next. It all depends on their wallets, the representatives said. “If I won the lottery, I would never be home,” Langedyk said. OLLI is a program that offers classes and activities for retirees or those transitioning into retirement. The program is based at the Ruby Gerontology Center. OLLI membership requires a fee, which depends on the semester and the amount of classes a person signs up for. The program offers free classes that are open to the public, such as this Road Scholars lecture, which was part of their “Transitions in Retirement Essentials” series. “(We) bring in different presenters every week,” said Russ MacKeand, chairman for the Transition in Retirement Program. Other classes include education on retirement programs such as Medicare and Social Security, and cover health concerns like sleep disorders, skin care and others.

Asian fusion gets trendy twist Cha2O serves up drinks and dishes in a modern ambiance CONNIE LEE Daily Titan Cha2O is a hidden gem on the corner of South Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue in downtown Fullerton that is easily missed because of its unassuming exterior. The interior is a completely different story, with everything from the food to the extremely stylish, modern decor. The Asian fusion joint started out with one main eatery in Artesia and later opened a second location in Fullerton. The fairly new location fits right in with downtown Fullerton’s urban environment. Inside, there’s a vast space that makes it perfect for an outing with friends or a date. The purple theme, contemporary fixtures and upbeat music mingle perfectly with the space to give it a nightclub feel without the extra fees. The restaurant’s main focus lies right in their name. “Cha,” the Chinese word for tea, signifies showing gratitude and welcoming loved ones in family traditions. The ‘2O’ part of their name comes from the idea that H2O is a necessity of life. They’ve created the perfect blend of food and drinks in a comfortable atmosphere. Even if there wasn’t a food menu, the drinks would be enough reason to stop by Cha2O.

BOBBIE URTEZ / DAILY TITAN

Located in downtown Fullerton, Cha2O serves creative drinks, dishes and desserts with an Asian twist. The casual eatery appeals to younger demographics with a sleek interior, affordable prices and a mood-lit, club-like atmosphere. Cha2O is a great alternative to the many nightclubs and bars in the downtown area.

They specialize in teas and have a range of choices such as Thai tea, Japanese green milk tea and other flavored teas set up beautifully in cups with fresh fruit. With selections from smoothies, hot and iced coffees and slushies, there’s something for even the pickiest of taste buds. The taro milk tea with a $0.15 egg pudding addon was worth the almost 10-minute wait. The drink was incredibly fresh, creamy and sweet, with a hint of nuttiness.

The egg pudding on the bottom added a caramel, flan flavor that livened up the entire drink. They didn’t skimp on the portions either. Prices start at $3, with a 32-ounce pitcher for $5.99. The portions are more than enough to last through an entire meal. Drinks may be what bring people in, but the food is what will keep them coming back. The food menu is charmingly listed under categories such as “tastebud teasers,” “tummy fillers” and

“tummy pleasers.” The items range from traditional eats such as pho and Vietnamese spring rolls to filet mignon and lemon chicken skewers. The heaping mountain of Hawaiian fried rice was just the right amount of savory and sweet. Chicken and shrimp offset the flavor of diced pineapple, with each bite giving the best of both worlds. The fried squid balls also took on a duality of flavor. The chewy seafood skewer was covered in chili

powder, but once dipped in the tangy side sauce, it had a nice sugary sweetness to it. The beef basil spaghetti added to the savory factor with tender filet mignon pieces that tore apart easily with chopsticks. The beef wasn’t too rare and the noodles had just the right amount of garlic to complement the meal. Besides food and drink, there are plenty of desserts to enjoy as well. Cha2O offers a variety of brick toasts with ice

cream, shaved ice, flavored snow and classic sweets such as macarons and crème brulée. With a restaurant of this quality, it’s surprising to see how affordable it is for college students. The most expensive dish is $11.99, but be careful as one could get carried away and easily rack up a high bill. For those who want a great restaurant ambiance without breaking the bank, this place is highly recommended.

GOP debaters bear contradictions

Candidate’s antigovernment rhetoric counters reality GINO RICCARDI Daily Titan

Top-running Republican candidates have consistently named political correctness as one of the major problems facing the country today. Some critics might call this a double-standard in light of their collective reaction to the treatment they received from CNBC anchors on the GOP debate stage last Wednesday. It’s true, debate moderators Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood had some harsh, and in some cases, mocking questions for the candidates, but the race for the GOP nomination so far, hasn’t exactly been tempered with good sportsmanship. During the last debate for instance, Donald Trump responded to a question about his ability to lead the country with an unprovoked attack on Rand Paul and his looks. Even though this debate saw a much more even-tempered version of Trump and a higher degree of solidarity among the candidates, the tone had already been set by previous debates and one of the first questions out of the gate was again to Trump, asking if he was running a “comic book version of a presidential campaign.” But the bulk of the questions focused on whether or not it’s realistic for a person who is running for a position in government to effect change without the aide of government. Especially with both houses of congress now under a Republican majority, one would think that an argument against the size of government would be self-defeatist at this point in the game. Predictably, candidates did

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

In the third Republican presidential debate hosted by CNBC, the questions primarily focused on how a commander-in-chief can effectively change the government while also diminishing its power. The irony of this is that Republicans hold the majority of seats in Congress and still criticize the size of the government.

not waver on their anti-government stance, no matter how nonsensical the rhetoric became. Dr. Ben Carson, when asked about the possible necessity for regulations on the prices of some life-saving drugs in light of recent scandals, drew a direct comparison between corporate giants and “the average small manufacturer,” saying the high-cost of regulations “makes it a whole lot easier for them to want to go somewhere else,” completely

ignoring the gravity of the real-life situation. Carly Fiorina responded to a question regarding the role of government in retirement plans with an abrupt denunciation of the federally mandated minimum wage. “There is no constitutional role for the Federal Government to be setting minimum wages,” Fiorina said. Of course, anyone who’s ever had to survive on the minimum wage knows that employers who offer their workers the

bare legal minimum would pay less if they only could. There was an especially awkward moment right toward the end of the debate when Chris Christie began explicating a necessity to invest in green energy only to be interrupted by moderator John Hardwick who said, “You mean government?” Governor Christie responded with characteristic sarcasm, calling Hardwick’s behavior “rude”, before he went on to say that “we work with the

private sector to make solar energy affordable.” But one has to wonder what exactly did he mean by “we need to invest,” and if that’s the same “we” who works with the private sector in his state of New Jersey. More importantly, do these candidates understand that they are defined by the government they purport to abhor? A person who hates government might go into community organizing as a method of giving citizens a voice, but community organizers don’t have

super PACs or lobbyists. The GOP has suspended their relationship with CNBC in response to the treatment they received at Wednesday’s debate and the candidates’ respective campaigns are considering revising rules for debates from here on out, according to an article in the New York Times. Maybe this will teach the candidates how to lead by example. And maybe their next moderator will be wearing kid-gloves.

Letter to the Editor Dr. Goode’s $180 Textbook FROM KEVIN HAW, CSUF ALUMNUS

As an alumnus of Cal State Fullerton (class of 1990), I experienced the usual mixture of embarrassment and amusement that strikes every college graduate when their alma mater is in the news airing its dirty laundry. The recent matter of Dr. Stephen Goode’s $180 textbook, however, struck a nerve for me. You see, back in 1989 or so, I had the cockamanie idea of earning a math minor to go with my computer science major and enrolled in Math 250B. I wound up in the classroom of a thenquite young Dr. Goode, long before his ascendancy to the chairmanship but already inflicting his first drafts for the 250B textbook on us impoverished students. Perhaps he was just young and lacking in communication skills, or perhaps I was a lower form of life for aspiring to be a computer programmer instead of a mathematician (a not uncommon attitude with math faculty in those days), but even back then he seemed more interested in his damned textbook than actually assisting struggling students, such as myself.

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

Despite being a fixture at his office hours, I was completely lost and forced to drop 250B. I re-enrolled the next semester with “Killer Miller,” who was a wonderful instructor who could (gasp!) communicate, earning (I think) a solid B. In re-enrolling though, I was forced to buy a second draft textbook of his (a photocopied stack of paper from the bookstore) because the one from the previous semester was suddenly outdated (and thus, unable to be re-sold). So, Dr. Goode and the bookstore managed to milk me twice for the same class, although only to the tune of about $70 for both books, adding up to $140 (Hey! A math minor does pay off!) or so instead of the current $180 you youngsters face today. I am a bitter old man of 47 now, but I still find moments of joy in seeing chickens come home to roost. Please inform Professor Alain Bourget that I will gladly make the trek out to Fullerton to treat him to a round at the pub if he is interested.

Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team came back from an early nine-point Cal State Los Angeles lead. The Titans rallied throughout the entire game, eventually taking the lead in the fourth quarter and escaping the Golden Eagles’ talons to secure their first exhibition victory.

Titans outlast Golden Eagles

Women’s basketball opens season with an exhibition win RYAN PORTER Daily Titan

After losing their first three regular season games last year, the Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team made a statement by winning their home, exhibition opener against Cal State Los Angeles 60-58. The outcome looked

bleak for the Titans after the first quarter, as the Golden Eagles outscored them 19-10. Gradually, the Titans gained momentum and the lead by outscoring CSULA in the remaining three quarters. Led by freshman Michelle Berry and senior Karima Gabriel, the Titans came out stronger in the second quarter and scored 15 points from six different players. The third quarter was more of the same, as the Titans came out of the half

and scored 20 points compared to CSULA’s 17 reducing the Golden Eagle lead to just two points 47-45. After coming back from an early nine-point deficit, CSUF hit three consecutive field goals and drew a foul at the start of the fourth quarter to take the lead 53-47. The Titans were threatened by a couple late Golden Eagle baskets, but the Titans’ defense was able to hold onto the lead in the fourth quarter and secure the win.

Berry dropped 23 points in her first career exhibition, making 55 percent of her shots including one of four Titans’ three-pointers. Gabriel recorded a double-double, picking up ten rebounds, six of those offensive rebounds and four of them defensive rebounds. In addition to her three blocks and one steal, Gabriel was also the second highest Titan scorer with 13 points. Samantha Logan led the Titans defensively, bringing in 14 rebounds. She also scored seven points and

brought in nine defensive rebounds and five offensive rebounds. Lauren Nubla was the assist leader for the Titans, dishing out six assists off the bench in just fifteen minutes of playing time. As a team, Fullerton shot a 32.8 field goal percentage, outdoing the Golden Eagle’s 30.2 percent. The Titans were the dominant team in the paint, recording 49 rebounds, 10 more than CSULA. The Titan bench was not much involved in the team’s

efforts, as they only scored five points, but they did contribute six assists and six rebounds. Even though the Golden Eagles shot 73.3 percent as compared to CSUF’s 53.3 percent on its free throws. Fullerton had twice the amount of attempts as CSULA as the Titans hit 1630 to the Golden Eagle’s 11-15. The Titans’ final exhibition game will be on Friday at 7:30 p.m. against Hope International at Titan Gym.

HOROSCOPE Provided by: Tarot.com ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19)

Although you might think you fixed a problem at work, your confidence doesn’t mean you actually found resolution in the real world. You may incorrectly assume that changing your attitude is enough to alleviate the current stress.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

The fervor of emotional intensity is challenging to manage today, but you’re ready to swing into action to reestablish stability in your environment. Developing a plan to reduce your anxiety is one thing, while actually putting your ideas into motion is entirely something else.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

You could take a circuitous detour today just to put your intentions out on the table. Although you are extremely serious about your feelings now, others might find your words evasive and your declarations of affection insincere. In fact, you may behave more defensively.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Completing tasks that produce immediate consequences minimizes the pressure of the larger issues you are wrestling with now. Unfortunately, diverting your attention is only a temporary solution. Nevertheless, you can accomplish a lot today by narrowing your focus.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

You’re willing to try every trick in the book to eliminate the current stress in an important relationship. Unfortunately, the harder you attempt to make someone else happy now, the more awkward the dynamics become.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Your karma might be somewhat muddled now as your thoughts keep bumping into reality. Even if you can’t see the direct correlation between cause and effect today, don’t let your lack of clarity prevent you from making the right choice.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

You can handle nearly anything today as long as you understand that it could take a while for positive results to manifest. Thankfully, the current stress won’t spin out of control if you maintain your vigilance. Persistance is not your secret weapon now.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

Your first conclusion won’t likely be your final solution to a lingering problem on the job. Your coworkers may be waiting for you to weigh in with your answer today, but you’re not pleased with any of the available options. Although you would prefer to add options.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Telling the difference between your idealistic hopes and viable solutions is trickier than it sounds. You can create the most positive impact by simply concentrating on the facts and putting away your daydreams for another time.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

An unresolved family matter requires plenty of your emotional bandwidth today, but smoothing over the rough spots at home needs to be your top priority. At first, you may believe that avoiding your domestic con- © thewordsearch cerns is enough to make them leave.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

You may be obsessing about issues of integrity today, yet the current circumstances are even more complex than they seem. Someone might ask you to intervene in a way that could reflect negatively on your reputation.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

Relationship dynamics grow even more complicated when you can’t discern reality from your dreams. However, most of your current problems stem from your overactive imagination. Instead of rushing ahead today, write your thoughts down to reconsider later; you can choose which ones to develop later. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

WINNIE HUANG / DAILY TITAN

The Titans lost to UCSB 1-0 on Friday night, lowering their chances for a potential Big West run. However, the team defeated Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 2-1 to guarantee their passage to the Big West Championship. Rebecca Wilson scored two goals in the game versus the Mustangs.

Soccer: Women’s team tied for No.1 CONTINUED FROM

Fullerton hit the road for one last time on Thursday, in the hopes of salvaging a much needed win against the 2-5-0 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Mustangs. Despite being out of contention for the Big West Conference title, the Mustang players came out with chips on their shoulders by logging 16 shots to the Titans’ 11. Unfortunately for Cal Poly SLO, the Titans would prove to be the more efficient team, as they jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead early in the first half.

Senior forward Rebecca Wilson scored two goals during the 13th and 15th minutes, respectively. Assists were provided by fellow senior Christina Burkenroad, on the first goal, and by sophomore midfielder Tala Haddad on the second goal. It seemed the Mustangs’ valiant efforts were not enough as the Titan defense managed to fend off every threat that came its way. Although, in the 66th minute, Mustang player Cassandra Fasi snuck in a goal off a Ashley Kirchick pass to pull the score within one. Although pressure

started to build for the Titans, they ultimately managed to hold and secure the 2-1 victory. The win improved the Titan’s conference record to 6-2-0, which would tie them for first place with rivals Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara. Titan Stadium will host every game of the Big West Conference Championship. The Titans will be the No. 1 seed due to their overall record of 14-3-1. CSUF will open the first leg of the Championship semi-finals against the No. 4 seed UC Riverside Highlanders this Thursday at 5 p.m.

WINNIE HUANG / DAILY TITAN

The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team earns the No. 1 seed for the Big West Conference Championship due to their overall record of 14-3-1.

Titans compete in Big West Championship CSUF cross country team travels to UC Riverside for event BRENT CABATAN Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton cross country team traveled to UC Riverside to compete in the Big West Conference Championships. The Titans went head-tohead with Cal Poly, CSUN, Long Beach State, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara and Hawaii. The best the Titans have ever placed in this competition was second during a 1993 outing. CSUF looked to eclipse that mark on Saturday. The men’s squad came in

sixth with an overall time of 2:07:54.10, falling short of expectations but the women’s team fared slightly better with an overall time of 1:51:01.07, finishing fifth. The men’s team expected to be more competitive in this competition after placing second in the Mark Convert Invitational and third in the Highlander Invitational this season. Junior Jose Penaloza ranked the highest among the men’s team, finishing in 14th with an overall time of 24:43.70. Sophomore Joe Casco followed with a 27th-place finish and an overall time of 25:17.35. For the women’s team, junior Pamela Pelayo finished in 24th place with an overall time of 21:44.85.

Senior Sierra Ungerman crossed the finish line just after, placing 25th with an overall time of 21:49.46. Known as top-competitor on the men’s team, Penaloza finished in the top-10 on two separate occasions this year. Ungerman regularly places amongst the top runners for the CSUF women’s team and did so again at the Big West Championships. Both of the men’s and women’s team have shown promise this season, even though they did not perform particularly well in this event. The Titans’ next event will take place at the University of Washington for the NCAA West Regional Championships on Friday Nov. 13.
